At this moment, the entire True King Ceremony was shrouded in a massive shadow, with black waves swaying within it, releasing astonishing corruption.
Everyone watched this terrifying scene in horror, not daring to come close.
Inside the ceremony.
Rod felt as if they had sunk to the dark ocean floor, where powerful darkness pressed upon them.
The only light was the king's flame, ascending rapidly toward the ocean's surface like light breaking through the skylight.
But black shadows gathered from all directions, rushing toward the king.
"Rod, stop them!"
The king shouted.
"Don't let them touch me. I am fully focused on breaking through the Source Dark Domain; Horus's soul is also consumed by darkness. I must protect him and cannot spare any effort for defense."
Rod then realized that Horus's soul had become entirely dark, as if cursed or corrupted.
"What's going on? Has Horus fallen for it again?"
Fortunately, the Book of Knowledge cleared his name in time.
