With Paris' surrender, the conflict in the water elemental plane was completely resolved at this moment.
Rhodes looked at the transformed figure of Paris, but his mind was on other things. As the master of spiritual elements, Paris also has the identity of a hero, and the experience value he can provide is far greater than those legendary creatures who are not heroes. Even if it does not reach the 6 million experience points once provided by the hero Somra, it is not much different when you think about it. Combined with the 100 time arrows left by Moriel, it is enough for Rhodes to increase his water magic level.
"Prove me your loyalty." Rhodes said slowly, the Titan's arrow in his hand sparkling even more.
Listening to Rhodes' request, the eyes of the foreign woman transformed by Paris were focused, and then she slowly walked towards Rhodes. The power of the spiritual element condensed in her palms, which was her ability as a spiritual elemental person.
A unique consciousness seemed to open a window that had always been closed in Rhodes' mind. As the surging spiritual power poured out, Rhodes was somewhat surprised to notice that he no longer needed to speak, but he However, his voice can be conveyed through the power of the spirit to every individual touched by the spiritual sea. All creatures in the ocean can hear every word he conveys from the spirit.
That is the power of the spirit. Even with Rhodes' current mental attributes, he still cannot freely control the sea of spirit. With Paris's help, Rhodes can truly feel that power, and at the same time, he can feel it more clearly. I reached the aura exuded by Paris in front of me.
"Dual-line monarch, you can use the power in the sea of spirit to strengthen spiritual communication and the ability to perceive all things. There are countless spiritual imprints of undead creatures in your mind. With this power, you can even face people across domains. They give orders." Paris slowly introduced to Rhodes the power derived from the spirit.
Under Paris's narration, Rhodes also felt the various benefits that ability brought to himself. The confusing and complicated spiritual imprints in his mind in the past were now more closely connected with Rhodes.
Far away in the Magic City, the busy undead generals raised their heads in confusion at this moment, as if they felt the call from another plane. To the surprise of the undead, the source of the call was suddenly revealed. It was their master Rod.
When the undead came back to their senses and looked at each other, they all saw the joy in each other's eyes. The call from another plane that they had never felt before seemed to indicate that the master's strength had been improved. With further improvement, even if they are separated by an entire plane, they cannot stop their master from transmitting information to them.
Feeling the power of Paris, Rhodes couldn't help but nodded. As the master of spiritual elemental people, Paris's power can greatly enhance Rhodes's perception ability. She herself is the master of spiritual power. The best increase is that as long as she is here, over time, your spirit will spread to every corner of the world, and even the power of the field will benefit from it.
"Rhode, are you still satisfied with this ability? Have I proved my loyalty?" Seeing Rhodes carefully comprehending the benefits of that spiritual power, Paris believed that he was no fool and would be able to easily understand her. of importance.
Under Paris's inquiry, Rhodes slowly opened his eyes. After carefully experiencing the benefits that spiritual power brought to him, Rhodes also understood that Paris's power was extraordinary. Ordinary mage If he could get such a sharp weapon for spiritual enhancement, he didn't know how convenient it would be to upgrade his level in the future, but Rhodes obviously wouldn't be satisfied because of this. He wanted more.
"Only death can prove everything to me." Rhodes did not speak, but his majestic words spread throughout the entire water elemental plane along with his ever-expanding spiritual power.
Listening to Rhode's chilling words, Paris's expression also changed faintly: "Double Lord, what do you mean by this? Isn't it enough that I choose to surrender? I must die to end all this. ?”
As Paris told the story, the woman she transformed into also showed a somewhat sad expression. The spiritual power revealed in it was enough to quietly change people's thoughts in their hearts, and any creature would be easily distorted by her. , but it was a pity that her performance was completely ineffective in front of Rhodes. Rhodes just glanced at her and guessed all the tricks in her heart.
"I think you must have misunderstood. Even death will not make this end." As if he saw the doubt in Paris's heart, Rhodes' gentle voice came again, "I am in charge." With the power of death, I will bring you back to life, and you will feel nothing but new.”
Paris showed a somewhat puzzled expression, seeming to be thinking about the meaning of Rhodes' words: "You mean undead creatures? I know you can change the nature of elemental creatures, but I don't want to become an undead creature. It’s my current body that makes me more accustomed to it.”
Rhodes shook his head: "It's not undead, but true rebirth. Everything about you is safe and sound, and your time will be reversed. Only by doing this can you prove to me the loyalty in your heart."
After listening to Rhodes' words, Paris did not respond for a long time. The constantly rippling spiritual power seemed to indicate to Rhodes that her heart was not peaceful. It was not until a long time later that Paris said:
"The power in my spirit allows me to identify the lies of other creatures. My perception tells me that you are not lying about this kind of thing. You really have a way to completely restore me. That is the power of time. ...I never thought that the power that can reverse time actually exists. I always thought that it was just a legend. Perhaps only the power of manipulating time can make people truly return from the other side of time."
Rhodes glanced at the foreign woman who was deep in thought. As a spiritual element monarch, she can obtain the memories that countless spiritual element people and even chapter demons plundered from other plane creatures and transform them into their own power. Obviously Being able to know a lot of information that ordinary people have never heard of, he immediately asked: "What do you know about the power of time?"
Paris did not hide anything: "I have only glimpsed the legend about the power of time in the memories of a few Erathians. The legendary ancestor of dragons, the magnificent golden dragon known as the Holy Female Dragon, She controls the power of time, and she can travel between the past and the future freely, and there is nothing she cannot do."
Rhodes did not interrupt Paris. He obviously knew more about the legend of the Holy Female Dragon. In the previous illusion of Eden, he and Moriel faced the legendary existence and met the legendary being in the Holy Dragon. With the power of the female dragon, he saw a completely different timeline from the present, that is, a world without heroes.
As if thinking of something, Paris sighed slightly: "However, the power of time is just a legend. Except for the Holy Female Dragon, there is no mage who can cast time-related magic. Even Gwen in the past only developed time magic that was theoretically possible, but ultimately failed to realize it."
Rhodes seemed to be aroused by Paris's words. Except for the realm of time, no mage has the power to interfere with the direction of time. However, there seems to be one mage who does not think so, and that is the Godhead of Brakada's mage. Wen, only he in the legend was qualified to study time-related magic, so he curiously asked:
"You said Gwen developed magic related to time? What does that mean?"
Seeing that Rhodes seemed to be very interested in this matter, Paris also quickly revealed everything she knew in her heart. Since she had decided to surrender to Rhodes, there was nothing to hide about these things:
"It's just a theory. With Gwen's original power, it still cannot be realized. It is said that as long as the temperature drops to a certain level, even time will be completely frozen. With the power of the legendary water mage and even the water demigod, Still unable to do this, even the elemental monarch who holds the authority of the water element is beyond reach. Gwen only left this theory, and in the process of fusing the dual-element authority, both body and soul were destroyed. No one Can prove the truth of that theory.”
Listening to Paris's story, Rhodes couldn't help but nodded. The theory left by Gwen was indeed interesting, but just as Paris said, even with the authority of the water element, Rhodes could not help but nod. There was no way the temperature could drop enough to freeze time, as if that was just a theory.
Magic related to time is the most mysterious type of magic in the world. Even if ordinary mages just feel the mystery of time, the experience and knowledge left in it is enough for them to use it for a lifetime. As for developing time magic? Apart from Moriel, who is in charge of the time domain, Rhodes has never seen anyone else who can interfere with time. Even Gwen in the past only left an unresolved theory of time, and completely changed it in the process of integrating authority. Fall.
Rhodes felt the power of the water element in his body. Since even the water element monarch could not freeze time, he who had just obtained the power of the water element was naturally unable to do so. At least he had to wait until he became a demigod before he was qualified to try. .
"Let's go back to what happened before. The power of time in me comes from the time domain of the Holy Female Dragon. The effect can be said to be almost the same. I will make you feel death and then wake you up from time. Aren't you able to tell lies? Then you should understand that everything I said is true." Rhodes brought the topic back to the previous content and stared at Paris with his deep eyes.
Paris fell into silence for a moment, and her perception told her that Rhodes did not seem to be lying, but just as he said, he planned to let himself experience death first, and then use the power of time to revive himself, but There is still something puzzling in Paris's mind: "Why do you do such a thing? This matter is not just as simple as proving loyalty. What exactly do you want to do? What can you gain through this act?"
Seeing that Paris had a puzzled look on her face, she seemed to be analyzing her every move, but she couldn't get an answer at all. Rhodes just shook his head lightly. How could she know the wonders of experience points? After seeing that Paris could not be persuaded without explanation, Rhodes had no choice but to reveal:
"You can understand that I can benefit from the death of other creatures. The more powerful creatures die, the more I benefit. The power of time can benefit me many times, so you may have to face death more than once , but you can rest assured that after the process is over, you will be reborn safely."
Rhodes slowly explained that he already held the Titan Arrow in his hand. He did not give Paris any more choices. Either choose to cooperate with the power of the Arrow of Time and usher in death and rebirth as he said, or De took the initiative to ask her to cooperate with him, but the latter method was a lot more troublesome. If he could get Paris to cooperate without any effort, why bother fighting exhaustingly?
The choice of method does not lie with Paris, but is always under Rhodes' control. So far, Rhodes doesn't mind exposing the methods to improve his strength. The Doomsday War has completely begun, and Rhodes is already one of the Doomsday Overlords who has the ability to change the situation of the war. There are only a few people who can threaten Rhodes' existence. Even if someone tried to probe his power, they would ultimately fail.
As if aware of the meaning of Rhodes' words, Paris sighed slightly. After Rhodes took control of the dual-system authority, she was unable to compete with him. Accepting Rhodes' proposal seemed to be her only chance. choose:
"Benefiting from the death of living creatures, is that your heroic specialty or the power of some kind of treasure? I have no way of knowing, but it sounds like I don't have much choice. In this case, as long as you are willing to enter into a spiritual contract with me, I will Agree to your request."
"Spiritual contract, what is that?" After hearing Paris's conditions, Rhodes asked.
Paris did not answer, but explained to Rhodes with practical actions. As she stretched out her hand into the void, a star-studded parchment appeared in her palm. With a tap of her fingers, rows of words appeared. Then it appeared on the contract, and then handed it over to Rhodes.
Rhodes browsed through it and found that the content of the contract was not long. It mainly imposed restrictions on Rhodes' previous promises. Rhodes must resurrect Paris within one minute after her death. If he fails to do so, or exceeds the time limit, or transforms her into an undead creature, he will be punished by the contract and his soul will be broken. .
There is another part of the contract, which is that after Paris is reborn a hundred times, unless she is hostile to Rhodes first, or does something harmful to Rhodes, Rhodes can no longer hurt her. Once she violates it, her soul will be destroyed. will be hit hard.
After confirming that there were no loopholes in the contract, Rhodes felt relieved. It seemed that Paris cherished her life more than he thought. Only this contract could make her completely believe in him, and then he would imprint his spiritual mark on her. On top of the contract.
