Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

In that instant, as Rhodes moved, Clara moved as well.

It was like two overlapping phantoms, except that control was in Rhodes's hands.

"Fortunately, my soul strength seems to be very high, or rather, Clara's soul is pure enough."

Losing all my memories actually helped me successfully integrate all the power.

Rhodes said softly:

"Leave the rest to me. Once the enemy is dead, it will all be over, Clara."

Rhodes' aura grew stronger.

He could no longer perceive his exact level of consciousness.

He only knew that killing the monster in front of him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Yes... Clara possesses such powerful energy within her.

It was only because of their retreat and their lack of understanding of how to utilize this power that things turned out this way.

But now that this power is in his hands, let's end it all.

It's time to resolve this "Carmen" instance and return to reality!

Chapter 125 Charlotte's Resurrection

At this moment, Rhodes' soul was no longer insignificant.

Though seemingly as insignificant as dust, it possesses the aura of ultimate power.

This powerful force was just a muddy energy core in Clara's hands, but it was different in Rhode's.

Having mastered the rules of the world, possessing the strongest spiritual aura, and being powerful enough to shatter the weak monster before him, this is Rhode now.

【The Great Hero】—Rod Gwenlance.

These are the words he used in the children's stories from the first playthrough, but now they perfectly capture his current mood.

“Foolish humans…!”

The colossal beast's mountain-like horns crashed against the sea and land, causing the world to surge and become chaotic. Crimson blood gushed from its nostrils, and its malevolent aura intensified.

"Your weak soul attempts to contain that pure yet powerful force! How long can you hold out? And how much power can you wield?"

The behemoth finally could not tolerate it any longer and began to threaten Rhodes.

After all, even in just these two days of growth, it has already absorbed enough powerful resentment and grown into a spirit with a relatively high level of intelligence.

It could certainly see the weakness of Rhodes' soul.

This is why it didn't tear Rhodes apart from the start; it believed that the weak Rhodes was incapable of doing anything.

But it really didn't expect, didn't expect Rhodes's madness, and didn't expect him to have the courage to fuse such a powerful soul force!

But the question is, even if Rhode merges with Clara's soul power, what good will it do?

In its eyes, Rhodes, who was as weak as Clara, was unable to unleash the true power of this soul force.

Therefore, although it was slightly apprehensive, it was still confident in the end.

"Indeed, I can't hold on for long. Three minutes, maybe. In three minutes my soul will explode."

"But darling, have you ever wondered why, even though I can only integrate for such a short time... I still have time to talk to you here?"

Rhodes' voice was light, but at this moment it had taken on a divine, sacred quality.

At the same time, he didn't pause and directly reached out his hand—

This is true.

His soul was still too weak, so even after fusing with Clara's pure soul, he couldn't maintain it for long.

But precisely because of this, after uttering a few trash words, he had to finish the job quickly—

His purple pupils were like abysses, and his body radiated a terrifying golden light. In that instant, his aura changed drastically!

Divine runes hung above his head.

This is a divine rune belonging to the [God of the Deep Sea], and also a projection rune of her [Divine Position].

The moment the power was activated, golden and crimson stripes covered Rhodes' entire body, radiating an unapproachable divine power.

At this moment, he is the god who controls the world—

He swung his hand down.

The world changed in an instant.

The sea of ​​blood was instantly stopped in its tracks, and the boundless crimson ocean was immediately covered by a sea of ​​flowers.

Flowers began to bloom from beneath his feet, spreading wildly like locusts, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of kilometers in radius were completely covered by colorful petals and drifting wind.

The world was painted with gentle colors.

The so-called brutality and bloodshed no longer exist.

Only a gentle breeze blows by, and the bright sun hangs high in the sky.

And... Rhodes, and the still-present Mount Tai beast in front of him.

But the moment this happened, the behemoth lost its composure.

It sensed that its spiritual power was weakening due to the world's transformation, and its bloody breath was becoming even more violent.

A look of incomprehensible astonishment flashed in its crimson pupils. "Why can your soul so skillfully manipulate this power...?"

Rhodes did not respond.

He wouldn't be so idle as to actually continue chatting with a monster that was about to die.

"So this is what it feels like to have a divine position," he murmured. "So cool... I guess I really have to get a divine position myself."

"Damn it—!"

The behemoth roared wildly, its overwhelming aura shattering countless flowerbeds, turning the world into a chaotic, colorful spectacle.

The waves surged wildly, bloodthirsty monsters spread out, and countless skeletal whales shook the sky and crashed down on Rhodes like meteors.

But Rod simply waved his hand forward again.

In an instant, all the shattered petals were reassembled and, like a rain of swords, pierced through the giant beast's body!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Tens of millions of petals danced, forming the most beautiful and powerful attack at this moment.

The wave instantly evaporated the skeletal whale, and even the giant beast was instantly annihilated in the sea of ​​thousands of flowers.

The scarlet color is accented with pink, creating a starkly contrasting image.

This is something Rhodes learned from the [God of Soul Evolution].

Our own goddess always likes to use these gorgeous and beautiful skills... just like the beautiful pink world she revealed when she broke into Ivina's soul space last time.

So he did remember it, and he used it at that moment.

Undeniably, it is both gorgeous and practical.

With hands clasped together, the world seemed to press down on the behemoth like a squeezing machine.

Feeling his body being polluted by countless flowers, and the pent-up beast like a bound person, he clearly possessed endless power, yet at this moment he couldn't unleash any of it.

Panic, shock, anger—all sorts of emotions violently surfaced within its body.

None of this is possible for it!

How can a weak being who has only ascended four times control the power that belongs to the gods?

All of this was unrealistic for it, but one thing it understood very well—it was all over.

It grew increasingly angry and desperate.

Its body was constantly being melted and devoured by these flowers, and the soul power it had fought to seize over the past few days was disappearing madly at this moment.

This is a long-term purification process.

The behemoth was unable to move, but for Rhode, this was not the end of the story.

Only by dissolving the "evil" within Charlotte can the current problem be truly solved.

Therefore, the competition now hinges on whether Rhode can completely obliterate the behemoth before his own soul shatters.

[Soul damaged, 87% remaining sanity]

As Rhode listened to the announcement on the panel in his mind, he increased the strength of the power binding several times over.

But something amazing happened at that moment.

As if due to the weakening of the soul's control power, countless images began to flash through the world like a revolving lantern.

These revolving lanterns all belong to Rod's past memories.

Memories of both his time as a "player" and his identity as "Rhodes" began to surge forth wildly—

The behemoth stared at the constantly flashing slides, its shock growing ever stronger.

The so-called "player" identity is irrelevant to it, because it's all too fake, and it has the right to believe that this is Rhodes's dream memory.

But Rhodes went to shatter the history of the Dragon God Empire, to reshape the world, and to hunt down the memories of the Dragon God.

There were even various gods appearing in the scene, and memories of reaching the pinnacle of the world, all of which lingered in its eyes.

It understood that a being possessing such divinity was undoubtedly a god.

It also realized that the person in front of it was not some so-called ant at all.

He is a hero.

In that instant, Rhodes' memories shattered its last shred of mental defenses.

"Great Hero... What a childish nickname. Humans always like to use such ridiculous nicknames to describe a person..."

The behemoth's crimson eyes went completely extinguished at that moment, and it gave up any resistance.

It's meaningless now; once the truth is known in its heart, there is only a calm and peaceful feeling.
