The destruction of the runes brought more than just Rhodes' fainting - this act of interfering with the laws of Valoran's runes directly led to more serious consequences.

Within a 100-meter radius of Rhodes' location...... All rune laws are invalid.

Rune annihilation has brought about the disorder of the law, and the forbidden power that Naga Kapoulos has been relying on before has also lost its effect, and even this power of "friend and foe" has seriously interfered with Jana, outside the "rune law invalid zone", Jana can summon the wind, but in this area, even Jana cannot mobilize the power of the wind.

There was an eerie silence on the battlefield.

Rhodes fell unconscious in the rubble—and both Jana and Naga Kapoulos cautiously withdrew from a hundred meters of Rhodes, silent.

The battle has exceeded all expectations.

Although neither Gana, Rhodes, nor Naga Kapoulos were the strongest people in Valoran, at the level of strength, they had all surpassed Valoran's rune laws themselves.

If you fight head-on, any star spirit can use a larger amount of energy to crush Rhodes and Naga Kapolos, but at the level of strength, the star spirits still rely on the rune law itself, and Rhodes and Naga Kapoulos have gone beyond this law.

Without the support of the forbidden power, the deep sea titan's massive body could hardly support it - the heaviness and atsushi that had previously been a combat advantage became a terrible burden, and in this case, it was difficult for him to even get up.

Jana could also whip up a gust of wind from afar, but in areas where the rune laws were ineffective, the wind would soon dissipate uncontrollably, and the entire battlefield would almost fall into an awkward stagnation.

And then...... A shrill cheer broke the calm.

"Haha - it's my turn!!"

Rhodes, who had regained a little consciousness in a hazy way, heard endless explosions and roars in his ears, and in a trance, he even saw a little brilliant, azure light......

As a never-before-seen circle was drawn, Rhodes lost consciousness completely.

……………………

Rod had a splitting headache.

The pain was so severe that Rod almost lost the ability to think, and under this pain, the sensations brought to him by his five senses were automatically blocked by his brain - his eyes were wide open, but he didn't know what he was seeing, and someone seemed to be talking in his ears, but he couldn't hear anything.

Rhodes' consciousness is still there, but because of the severe damage to his body (especially his brain), he is conscious and unable to think

In this case, Rhodes can only wait.

Wait until you are awake, your consciousness is restored, and your brain is normal.

And when Rhodes regained consciousness, what he saw was ...... It's dark.

His eyes seemed to be over-congested, and his vision had not yet recovered, so Rod could only rely on his sense of touch to make a rough judgment.

It's a place I've never been to before.

Rod wanted to get up, but the sequelae of a long-term brain shutdown made Rod unable to grasp the balance of his body for the time being, so he could only lie flat on the bed in an awkward position.

And the touch from the back tells Rhodes that he is now ...... It's not comfortable.

"Awake?"

Just as Rod was guessing his current state, a deep voice sounded beside him.

Listen to the source of the sound...... It's an old man.

Rod wanted to tilt his head to hear who it was, but his neck was too stiff to move, so he finally had to respond with a "um" through his nose.

"Another little guy trying the power of the Forbidden Force." The voice seemed to sigh, "Do you know what you do?" ”

Rhodes wanted to organize the language, but it was too difficult—his numb cheeks made him nasal and he couldn't speak.

"I know what you mean." The voice continued, "You have no choice, you have no choice, you have people to protect, you have a reason to force - over the years, I have heard dozens of reasons. ”

“……”

Rhodes stopped talking.

Who this voice is, Rod doesn't know, and the meaning of this voice, Rod can't detect it for the time being - it seems that this guy wants to help himself, or maybe he wants to give a trial, Rod doesn't know.

But for some reason, Rhodes was not worried at all.

The annihilation of the runes gave Rhodes a new understanding, power and law, the birth and annihilation of the runes, a vast amount of information lingering in his heart, but strangely calmed down - after a long time, he sighed and stopped talking.

"Why don't you speak?" The voice finally asked, and there seemed to be a little fluctuation in his tone, "Don't you care about the outcome of the battle?" ”

“……”

"Okay, okay, you don't seem to be silent enough, so let me nag a little longer."

"It's been a long time since I've seen a genius like you—the last time you were like you was a thousand years ago......"

"Oh, by the way, you can call me Ryze."
