Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 205 Historical Imprints and Cyber ​​Assassins

Chapter 204

Rosen studied the fragments of the Fate Tablet in his hand, feeling that the authority of the ancient scholar profession could reveal even more.

Without a second thought, he continued to pour divinity into the fragments of the Destiny Tablet.

In the end, it consumed a full 100 million high-grade spiritual crystals, which even the gluttonous stomach could hardly digest.

The power of the ancient scholars finally took effect once again, extracting a ray of light from the fragments of the tablet of destiny.

Rosen reached out and grasped the light, his spirituality instantly reading the information contained within it.

It turns out that this thing is a historical imprint that ancient scholars obtained by reading lost historical texts and information with an extremely low probability, which is about one in a thousand. This shows how lucky we were to have deciphered this historical imprint.

It's important to know that analyzing a historical imprint once requires a base cost of one hundred million high-grade spiritual crystals.

If the analysis fails, the entire investment is lost. A one in a thousand chance is not the same as succeeding once in a thousand attempts. If you're unlucky, you might not get a historical mark even after tens of thousands of attempts. This shows how precious the historical mark in his hand is.

Historical traces and historical imprints—these two terms are obviously related.

However, upon closer examination, one will find that the two are quite different.

Historical traces cling to the embers of civilization, recording the history of a civilization from its birth to its destruction.

Therefore, civilization must exist first before it is possible to leave behind remnants of civilization.

So if it is a treasure passed down through history, or a very famous historical figure, and neither of these belonged to a particular civilization, they would not have been burned to ashes by the flames of that civilization after its demise, and therefore would have no chance of leaving any historical traces.

However, these treasures and figures that exist independently of civilization may leave a mark on history.

The historical mark in Rosen's hand contains a treasure originating from a lost history.

Rosen crushed the light in his hand, and a clump of dust the size of a thumb appeared in his palm.

This is ash from calamity, a transcendent material that can only be born from a civilization that has survived ten thousand years of tribulation, a material that surpasses the level of true gods.

The Tablet of Fate is essentially composed of a large amount of calamity ashes.

The little bit of ash he had in his hand could not possibly create the Tablet of Destiny, nor did he possess the power to transcend the true god. It was unknown what role this little bit of ash could play in his hands, since his understanding of ash was very limited.

Rosen is prepared to spend a great deal of time searching for relevant clues in the God Network and the Spirit World Deep Web.

The world government certainly possesses the Ashes of Calamity, and alien civilizations with a history of over ten thousand years and a continued flame of civilization must also possess the Ashes of Calamity.

Rosen carefully collected all the fragments of the Fate Tablet and a small handful of ashes, intending to store them in the Mysterious Study.

However, as soon as they entered the mysterious study, the network cable of the main god's computer had already tangled up around them.

A continuous stream of colorful light flowed into the fragments along the network cable, and information kept flashing on the desktop of the main god's computer.

Rosen took a look and realized that this was the knowledge contained within the divinity of the Sequence 0 undead god sealed inside. The archaeologist from the Favalli family could only excavate three or four tenths of the incomplete knowledge at most, while the main god computer directly copied all the knowledge.

He didn't understand much of it, but he did roughly figure out what the ritual formation was all about.

In the knowledge passed down by the necromancers, this ritual array was not something created by the necromancers, but rather something they obtained from unknown ancient ruins. The archaeologist from the Favalli family spent his entire life studying this unknown ritual array.

After a lifetime of research, he finally discovered that combining it with the Soul Gem could slightly enhance spirituality.

To find out the true function of this ritual formation, Rosen had to study it himself.

The knowledge copying was finished, and the main god computer loosened its network cable from the fragments of the Destiny Tablet, instead beginning to touch that small handful of ashes.

The ashes of the calamity visibly disappeared, having been completely absorbed and fused by the main god's computer.

The computer, which hadn't been shut down for many years, suddenly shut down and started restarting.

After the main computer restarted, Rosen discovered that it had regained control of the main network.

It should be noted that although the God Computer could log into the God Network in the past, it had long lost control of the God Network. The God Network in the past was already operating autonomously, and like the God Temple, it had broken away from the control of the God Computer.

The key to regaining control of the God Network this time lies in the fact that the Ashes of Calamity repaired some of the damaged functions of the God Computer.

It was only then that Rosen realized that the Ashes of Calamity possessed the power to repair everything.

Civilizations resist calamities, during which the most extreme destructive power is generated.

Born from extreme destruction, the Ashes of Calamity contain the most terrifying restorative and creative powers.

Rosen couldn't wait to log into the God Network, wanting to see how it differed from before.

After a simple search, information about a different race with great fortune appeared on the desktop.

Rosen now knows everything about all the individuals with great fortune who have been included in the Main God's Temple and can log into the Main God's Network, including their identity information, past transaction records in the Main God's Temple, and all their online activity on the Main God's Network, all through the Main God's computer.

He has gone from being a network user to a network operator, possessing the highest authority in the entire God Network.

Moreover, the God Network is an existence that is no less powerful than the Spirit World Deep Web.

The main god computer regained control of the main god network, and its ability to penetrate the spirit world's deep network was further enhanced. If the original ability to infiltrate the spirit world's deep network was a basic level, it has now been improved to at least a hundred.

Rosen was able to hack into the intelligence agency's internal network in the past, but he was unable to compromise encrypted information within the internal network.

Now he can look at even encrypted information at will. The information that can withstand the intrusion of the main god's computer must be at least the highest level of encryption from the World Government's intelligence agency headquarters. Basically, 99% of the information in the Spirit Realm Deep Web is not a secret to him.

After returning to Sky Garden, Rosen spent many days immersed in the God Network and the Spirit World Deep Web.

He reluctantly left the mysterious study only after the intelligence agency of the Divine Tree Empire came knocking.

Without the Fate Tablet fragments to conceal it, the situation in Parthia could no longer be hidden from the World Government.

Recently, the intelligence bureau of the Divine Tree Empire has been under tremendous pressure from above. Finally, they captured the escaped wizard of the Favalli family and learned through the teleportation records of the Wizard Tower who had visited the Favalli family before their extermination.

At the Sky Garden Intelligence Bureau branch, Rosen had only been sitting in the reception room for a short while when three judges pushed open the door and entered.

This was his second encounter with the judges, but this time the three judges were very unfriendly.

However, it's not hard to understand. The Favalli family had enslaved an entire city for so many years, and the intelligence agency of the Shenmu Empire hadn't noticed anything unusual. His annihilation of the Favalli family truly made the intelligence agency of the Shenmu Empire lose face.

"Did you wipe out the Favalli family?"

The head judge sternly questioned him.

"of course."

As Rosen spoke, he took out a star emblem, which belonged to Duke Favalli.

"Did you kill Stig Favalli too?"

The judge asked again.

"I don't know that."

Rosen shook his head.

“There is evidence that Stig’s death is related to you…”

The judge stared into Rosen's eyes, his gaze turning black as he spoke sharply.

Rosen met the Judge's gaze without flinching. His magic brush moved swiftly across the ash curtain, and with the accelerated drawing of time, he quickly sketched the portrait of the Judge opposite him. Finally, he drew two nails in the painting and, without hesitation, inserted them into the portrait's eyes.

The judge, who was doing his best to read Rosen's thoughts, suddenly screamed and covered his eyes.

"Come back to me if you have evidence; if you don't, remember to send me a reward."

Rosen put down Duke Favalli's emblem of stars and got up to leave.

The two judges, their faces grim, tried to get up to stop them, but were stopped by the judge who had been blinded.

The destruction of the Favalli family is entirely justified by the state of Parthia.

The only trouble was probably killing Stig in Shenmu City.

Even if Stig is guilty, killing him in Shenmu City is still a violation of the law.

However, this requires evidence; without evidence, nothing can be done about a hereditary duke.

Even if there were evidence, it would at most smear Rosen's achievements.

So even with his eyes blinded, the Judge didn't dare stop Rosen. After all, it was the Judge who, relying on his Sequence 4 strength, had invaded Rosen's mind first. Being blinded in retaliation left him with no grounds for argument, and continuing the conflict was pointless. After leaving the intelligence agency, Rosen didn't feel happy about getting his revenge.

This time, he has made an enemy of the intelligence agency of the Shenmu Empire.

If given the chance, the intelligence agency of the Shenmu Empire would not hesitate to take revenge on him.

However, if he could kill Duke Favalli, then Sequence 5 could kill Sequence 3.

Normally, even the Imperial Intelligence Agency shouldn't show him hostility.

If we don't consider their current strength, shouldn't we also consider their future potential?

Rosen's intuition told him something was wrong. After returning to the Wood Elf Palace in the Sky Garden, he immediately took out the painting of the Undead Business Hall and began to investigate Stig's memories further. Even a cursory glance at hundreds of years of memories would take a long time.

Fortunately, he could still search for specific terms; Rosen directly searched for memories related to the intelligence agency.

Half an hour later, Rosen understood what was going on.

The situation in Parthia has not been a matter of a day or two, but has lasted for more than two thousand years. Since the current Duke Favalli inherited the title, Parthia has enslaved the people in the city for two thousand years under the cover of the fragments of the Tablet of Fate.

Over such a long period of time, the intelligence agency did not fail to notice anything unusual.

Hundreds of years ago, the intelligence bureau of the Shenmu Empire already knew about the current situation in Anxi City.

However, after weighing the options, the intelligence agency chose to go along with it.

The reason is simple: if they report it to the World Government, the entire intelligence bureau of the Shinmoku Empire will be punished. However, by choosing to collude with the Favali family, they will not only avoid punishment but also benefit from the Favali family.

Basically, 60% of the Favalli family's profits ended up in the hands of the intelligence chief.

Now he has destroyed this huge source of wealth, and he may even know about the collusion between the Favalli family and the intelligence agency.

So the judge was actually testing him, trying to find out if he knew about the Favalli family's dealings with the intelligence agency.

If it is discovered that he knows the truth, he will face relentless assassination attempts by the head of the intelligence agency.

"I have no habit of keeping enemies around. You can't be a thief for a thousand days and guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Rosen logged into the Spirit Realm Deep Web through the main god's computer and began to infiltrate the intelligence bureau of the Divine Tree Empire to inquire about the director's information.

Nicholas Eshan, a psychologist with a scientist branch sequence 3.

Like legal scholars, psychologists are also part of the extraordinary order monopolized by world governments.

All psychologists must join the intelligence agency, or they will be relentlessly hunted down by the World Government.

Therefore, Niccolò's status is far greater than that of a regular Sequence 3.

Furthermore, given that he is a hereditary duke, not to mention the difficulty of killing Niccolò, Niccolò's death would definitely attract the attention of the World Government's intelligence agency, and it might not be possible to get away with it then.

The intensity of the General Administration's investigation depends on how powerful Niccolò's backers are.

Rosen continued his in-depth investigation through the Spirit World Deep Web and soon discovered Nicolo's backer at headquarters.

Behind Nikolai is a Sequence 1 Deputy Director of the General Administration.

Rosen was even more troubled. He continued to use the main god computer to hack into the spirit world's deep web and quickly found the deputy director's rival. If he told this rival about Nikolai's crimes, there was a high probability that Nikolai would be in deep trouble.

But here's the problem: this kind of behavior could easily arouse suspicion about him.

He won't be able to explain how he knew about the two Sequence 1 information and how he was able to accurately transmit the message. The trouble he will cause will definitely be greater than the threat posed by Nicholas.

After pondering for a long time, Rosen finally came up with a solution.

It's still about using someone else to do the dirty work, but not using a human's knife; it has to be a knife from another race.

Rosen logged into the God Network and quickly found information on a person of great fortune from another race.

Sequence 2, the Abyss Curse Demon, is a demon belonging to the Abyss Lord of the 60th layer of the Abyss. For many years, the Abyss Curse Demon has been relying on intelligence provided by human traitors to curse human Sequence 3 demons through various means.

With just a change in intelligence, the Abyss Curse Demon's next target will be Nicholas.

By then, they'll be either dead or crippled, so why would they have time to cause trouble for him?
To be a traitor to humanity, to provide detailed information about human Sequence 3 for the Abyss Curse to kill, to put it bluntly, ordinary people are not qualified to be traitors to humanity. To be qualified to be a traitor to humanity, one must at least be a human with great fortune.

Only those with great fortune can trade goods through the main temple and exchange information through the main network.

People don't become traitors for nothing; only a fool would do it if there were no benefit to it.

What Rosen needs to do now is to use his supreme control over the God Network to impersonate this human traitor and send a message to the Abyss Curse Demon. Even if the two sides don't match the information in the end, they will definitely suspect each other first.

……

The 60th floor of the Abyss, the cursed dungeon of the Abyss Cursed Demon.

Upon logging into the God Network, the Abyss Curse Demon immediately saw a new message from his partner.

He is skilled in curses and possesses a special curse of destiny.

If the target's luck is strong enough, the person who curses them can harvest a portion of that luck after the curse is successful.

Only by accumulating a sufficiently large amount of luck can he advance further and become a Sequence 1.

That's why he spared no expense to bribe a human with great fortune, so that the two could cooperate and achieve a win-win situation.

“Niccolò Aishan, a psychologist of Sequence 3…”

The Abyss Curse Demon hesitated as it looked at the detailed information sent by its partner.

Psychologists are elites of the human world's government intelligence agencies, and are basically the directors of the intelligence agencies of various empires. Cursing someone like that could very likely provoke a counterattack from the intelligence agency's Sequence 1, and the price of requesting the protection of the Abyss Monarch would be considerable.

However, after carefully considering the last part of the information, the Abyss Curse Demon decided to take action.

This Nicolo has extraordinary good luck, and the information his partner has gathered is far too detailed.

So it's very possible that this Niccolò has a grudge against his partner.

Considering the pleasant cooperation over the years, he doesn't mind helping his partner solve some problems.

Anyway, as long as the cooperation continues, his partner will definitely compensate him.

The Abyss Curse Demon quickly ordered its subordinate Abyss Demons to go to the vicinity of the Abyss Blood River to capture those newly matured Sequence 6 Abyss Demons. Then, it used the corpses of tens of thousands of Abyss Demons to set up a curse ritual, which took three days to begin the final curse.

At the same time, Nikolai, who was studying psychology at the Shenmu City Intelligence Bureau, suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

This is a warning from the psychological early warning skill: someone is trying to kill him through curses.

Nicholas immediately used every means to resist the curse, but after a short while he still could not stop the spiritual collapse. It was at least a Sequence 2 Abyss Curse Demon. When did he provoke such a terrible being without any grudge?

Nicholas didn't want to die, so he immediately sought help from his backer through the deep web of the spirit world.

However, instead of rescue, they were told to "get lost".

Nicholas instinctively reflected on himself, wondering if he had done something wrong to offend that person, otherwise why would that person have refused to help him and even told him to get lost? But no matter how he thought about it, he hadn't done anything wrong. The matter in Anxi City was not enough to make that person abandon him.

His spirituality continued to crumble, and as time went on, Niccolò realized that he truly had no way out.

Without hesitation, he sent all the dirt he knew about his backer to his rivals through the deep network of the spirit world. He had done so much for that old ghost over the years; if he abandoned him now, then he shouldn't blame him for going crazy before he died.

At the main computer, Rosen intercepted all the messages that Nicholas had sent out.

That word "get lost" was part of his reply.

Originally, the intention was simply to let Niccolò experience the despair before death, but unexpectedly, Niccolò actually possessed so much dirt on that deputy director. It turns out that the good side of the World Government is only shown to ordinary people; the power structure has become corrupt and filthy over the past 20,000 years.

With all the troubles resolved, Rosen began preparing the mysterious ritual formation.

He certainly couldn't set it up himself, but the territory had cultivated several Sequence 7 wizards over the years, and Alicia and Amy were both proficient in magic, so after a few days of effort, they finally managed to prepare the ritual array.

Holding the Sequence 6 Soul Gem, Rosen stepped into the ritual array and infused it with spiritual energy to activate it.

A pale white light rose within the ritual array, quickly enveloping Rosen and the Soul Gem. The Soul Gem dissolved little by little in the light, eventually extracting a special pale white spiritual essence that merged into his Sequence Tree.

Rosen had already predicted the celestial phenomena in advance, confirming that this ritual formation was not only harmless but also had hidden benefits.

Therefore, he actively absorbed the pale spiritual energy to strengthen his Sequence Ancient Tree. Soon, the spiritual energy strength had increased by one point to 58 points. If we add the 9 points of long-term amplification from the Ancient God's sacrificial artifact, his spiritual energy strength was no less than that of a demigod who had just advanced to Sequence 3.
