Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 238 Chaotic City and Ubiquitous Malice
Chapter 237

"Now all I need is a history museum..."

Rosen looked in the mirror and muttered to himself.

In fact, Sulei also has a history museum similar to the Void Gallery, but Sulei doesn't care about history museums.

It's too low-class and doesn't match the historical background of his divine avatar, Sequence 1.

In particular, through the Spirit World Deep Web, Rosen also learned some secrets.

The two sequences of historians and archaeologists: initially, archaeology was just an adjunct to history, but over time it became independent and eventually grew stronger, even giving rise to sequence 0.

This sequence 0 is not Qinong; Qinong is the second sequence 0 in the archaeologist sequence.

As for the first Sequence 0 being killed by the historian's Sequence 0, this incident caused a great sensation at the time. No matter how you looked at it, the historian was at fault. However, in the end, for reasons unknown, it was the archaeologist's Sequence 0 that was found guilty.

Then something strange happened: the first sequence 0 of both the historian and archaeologist sequences disappeared.

Not only did the person disappear, but their name and any trace of their existence vanished completely.

Historians and archaeologists have conducted extensive research on this matter since then.

Finally, one possibility was discovered: the historian's Sequence 0 was likely based on this sequence, which led to the creation of a bronze-level historical sequence tree, attempting to become a true god by controlling the complete laws of history.

The result must be that the archaeologists did something and stole a part of the laws of history.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the world government would deem the murdered party guilty.

Therefore, after studying the Sequence 1, it is believed that the missing historian Sequence 0 was probably a consequence of failing to prove himself as a true god and having his existence erased. In order for the historian to give birth to a true god, he must kill the archaeologist Sequence 0 and monopolize the laws of history.

Rosen had high hopes for his divine avatar, and he also had a life-or-death feud with Qinon.

Therefore, he is now considering accumulating a deeper foundation for his divine avatar, so that in the future the divine avatar might be able to step on Qinong to become a true god. As far as he knows, the divine avatar of the great true god is at the level of a true god.

To accumulate this foundation, it seems he needs to make a trip to the chaotic city.

Two days later, Clement piloted the Abyss with Rosen to the Lighthouse of Chaos.

The three major forces in the Chaotic Sea form a triangle surrounding the Chaotic Lighthouse, while the Chaotic City is located inside the Chaotic Lighthouse. To enter the Chaotic City, one must pass through the Chaotic Underground Palace inside the Chaotic Lighthouse before reaching the Chaotic City, which is a place where entry is permitted but exit is not.

Of course, only the main body is not allowed to go out; if it is a clone, there is a certain probability that it will pass through the disordered underground palace in reverse.

Rosen arrived at the gate of the Chaos Lighthouse, pushed it open, and saw a passage leading downwards.

After entering the passage, the tower gate closed, and the path beneath our feet glowed with a gray light.

Light itself is not gray; at most, it is the light shining on an object that makes the object appear gray.

However, this light does indeed give people a gray feeling.

The downward staircase seemed endless, and it seemed to restrict one's speed.

So much so that even walking very slowly, Rosen couldn't exceed the speed of sound. After walking for several hours, the path changed, turning from one staircase into two. This was the Chaotic Underground Palace, and only one of the two paths led to the Chaotic City.

Moreover, there will be more and more similar forks in the road in the future, and if you take the wrong road, you will have to turn around and start over.

What's more troublesome is that even if you're on the right path, you might unknowingly switch between the right and wrong paths as you go along. In this case, to get through the chaotic dungeon, you either need to be incredibly strong or you can only rely on luck.

If neither of these conditions is met, the result is being trapped in the chaotic underground palace for a lifetime until one becomes a skeleton.

Rosen's eyes transformed into the vertical pupils of a dragon; he had activated his bronze dragon bloodline, allowing his eyes to see the future.

Then he walked to the right without hesitation, and from then on, he always walked on the right path at every fork in the road.

Two months later, Rosen saw the light ahead as he climbed the last flight of stairs.

Passing through the exit of the chaotic underground palace, Rosen saw a brightly lit, bustling city ahead.

A purple moon hung in the sky, but upon closer inspection, it was not the moon but the kingdom of the true God.

Rosen looked around again and realized why the chaotic underground palace, which was made up entirely of stairs, had the word "underground palace" on it.

Because the space where the chaotic city is located is itself an underground palace surrounded by four walls.

However, this underground palace spans tens of thousands of miles, and within this vast underground palace, mountains and rivers have been created.

Because he was worried that the true god would discover the spying of the God-Hunter's Eye, his understanding of the chaotic city was very limited.

All I know is that there are only two safe zones in this chaotic city.

These refer to the inner city area and all the roads.

Apart from these two places, there is no order anywhere else in the chaotic city.

Rosen tried to teleport, but found that he only teleported 66 meters.

Even the range of spiritual perception is only 66 meters away from the body.

He then made some more attempts. Here, all extraordinary powers cannot leave the range of their own spirituality, otherwise they will immediately dissipate into nothingness. The radius of the spirituality range is one to ten meters multiplied by the spirituality intensity.

In its normal state, the spiritual intensity is multiplied by one meter, and when the domain is expanded, it will increase to multiplied by ten meters.

However, if the divine territory is released, then it will not be subject to any suppression within the divine territory.

This is understandable, as a region spanning thousands of miles can accommodate a large number of demigods.

Without this suppressive force, any two demigods could easily turn the entire area within ten thousand miles of the underground palace into ruins.

Although the teleportation ability is affected, the force acting on the body is not suppressed.

Rosen immediately activated the Light Walker skill of the Holy Lion Coat, instantly transforming into light elementals and traversing thousands of miles to reach the only entrance and exit of the chaotic city.
A billboard stands by the roadside, offering a brief introduction to the chaotic city.

First, fighting is not allowed in the inner city and on the roads of the chaotic city. Then, fighting in the outer city requires paying a special fine. Outside the chaotic city, there is no order except on the roads, and all land is unclaimed and can be occupied by one's own ability.

Then, as mentioned above, there are six factions in the chaotic city.

Three major corporations, pirate forces, foreign prisoners, and the chaotic local residents of the city.

The three strongest are the three major companies, each with a Sequence 1 powerhouse in the chaotic city.

The strongest pirate forces and foreign prisoners are Sequence 2, while the strongest native residents are only a few Sequence 3. However, native residents are not easy to bully, because they are all descendants of members of other forces born in the chaotic city.

The bulletin board also had a simple map, which marked the locations of several major factions in the inner city.

Walking through the chaotic city and the billowing black fog surrounding it, Rosen truly realized just how chaotic it was.

At the roadside restaurants, human limbs were hanging on meat hooks, screaming in agony.

Clearly, this restaurant sells human food, and surprisingly, there are quite a few diners inside.

Rosen also saw a painter by the roadside who released a subject from the Void Gallery, then skinned the subject alive, dissected the subject's body, and finally pieced the dismembered body together on the ground to form a painting.

He even saw large numbers of men and women riding and having sex with each other directly on the roadside and rooftops.

The entire chaotic city is filled with terrifying negative forces.

Or to be more precise, the chaotic city is constantly amplifying the madness deep within everyone's heart.

After passing through the outer city, which had a radius of several miles, Rosen entered the inner city.

The inner city is much better than the outer city.

At least no one is stabbing people on the street, no one is naked on the street, and no one is eating people on the street.

However, this does not mean that the inner city is truly civilized and orderly. It is only superficially glamorous. The roadside restaurants are filled with delicious food and fine wine, and casinos of all kinds are everywhere.

Rosen quickly found the only hotel in the chaotic city, checked in, and logged onto the internet in his room.

The network here is extremely backward; it's not even a virtual world, but the most primitive form of the internet.

Rosen felt like he had returned to Earth, but there was plenty of information online, which finally gave him an understanding of the chaotic city.

For any place to develop, it must first have sufficient resources or industries.

In the mountains and rivers outside the chaotic city, deep underground lies an endless supply of special steam. Digging wells on the land allows for the easy harvesting of various special steam. A small portion of this steam will flow into the hands of the major powers in the chaotic sea, while the vast majority will fall into the hands of the World Government.

The continuous supply of special steam for sale satisfies the most basic resource needs of the chaotic city.

Of course, if these are all the resources available, at most they will only attract some Sequence 3 players who are not doing well to this place.

The most valuable currency in Chaotic City is Chaotic Coins, which come in three special forms: Chaotic Bronze Coins, Chaotic Silver Coins, and Chaotic Gold Coins. These three special currencies have no upper limit on purchasing power.

There was once a Sequence 1 who had accumulated enough Chaos Coins to buy a Sequence 0 from another race and make her her plaything for a whole year.

Some people even used Chaos Coins to buy the life of a member of the World Government's Noble Council.

It's important to know that the World Government's Noble Council is one of the three highest power systems of the World Government. The vast majority of those who become councilors are Sequence 0. The death of such a person would be a major earthquake. Meanwhile, those who use Chaotic Coins to buy their lives are still living carefree lives in Chaotic City.

In short, the purchasing power claimed by the chaotic currency is all things in the main world below the true God.

However, earning Chaos Currency is not an easy task.

You need to do all sorts of absurd and chaotic things in the chaotic city. The more chaotic your actions, the more chaotic currency you will get. Once the level of chaos reaches a certain standard, chaotic currency will appear out of thin air around you.

"Does the true god in heaven need chaos?"

Rosen seemed to be deep in thought.

After searching for more information online, he found his target for this trip.

Luke Cruise, Sequence 3's architect and part-time Sequence 3's art designer.

A double gold sequence, which is even more powerful than Rosen's extra part-time hunter sequence.

Luke Cruise is a dual-soul entity, and the two souls are constantly intertwined. This has led Luke Cruise to be promoted to two different Gold Sequences, but it has also caused Luke Cruise's two different spiritual consciousnesses to fight each other for control of the body.

Finally, an unexpected event occurred: the two souls merged into one, and the two spiritual consciousnesses also merged into one.

A brand new Luke Cruise was born, and then Luke Cruise went mad.

Unexpectedly, the insane Luke Cruise became even more powerful, even designing and building some extraordinary structures that the World Government could not tolerate. In the end, Luke Cruise was exiled to the Chaotic Sea, and now he is doing very well in the Chaotic City.

If you want Luke Cruise to design extraordinary architecture, the starting price is Chaos Silver Coins.

If you want to make your own demands instead of letting Luke Cruise do whatever he wants, you should prepare Chaos Coins in advance. Right now, Rosen doesn't have a single Chaos Coin, so coming to him now would only be humiliating.

Therefore, we need to find ways to make money, but making money through any normal means is too slow.

Rosen realized that data transmission was the perfect ability for theft.

He could carefully avoid any form of spying on the true god by the Hunter God's Eye, cautiously monitor the extraordinary beings in the outer city, and immediately take pictures and upload them to his hands when Chaos Currency condenses around them. In this way, he could quickly obtain a large amount of Chaos Currency.

An assassin outside the city, tearing apart a human arm, shook his head in dissatisfaction at the chaotic copper coins that had suddenly materialized beside him.

Just as he was about to put it away, the chaotic copper coin vanished into thin air.

This is not an isolated case; almost all the chaotic currencies in the outer city are frequently stolen the moment they are created.

Rosen's actions directly led to unprecedented chaos in the outer city.

Looking at the chaotic gold coins floating around him, he realized that he could indeed gain chaotic currency by creating chaos in the outer city.

Rosen gathered up the jumbled pile of coins, but instead of stopping the thefts, he intensified his efforts.

After entrusting the task to his self-portrait clone, Rosen left his hotel to visit Luke Cruise.

On the edge of the inner city stands an obelisk that is a kilometer tall.

The main entrance on the base faces the street, and there is a coin slot on the door.

You need to insert a Chaos Coin to gain entry.

After Rosen inserted the coin, the closed door immediately opened.

Upon entering the obelisk, the surrounding space teleports you to Luke Cruise's studio.

The walls are covered with design drawings, and in the middle of the studio are various miniature supernatural buildings displayed on a sand table.

"Take whatever you like, except for custom-made items."

Luke Cruise was busy drawing when he said he was never going to talk to Rosen again.

"Privately commissioning a unique history museum..."

As he spoke, Rosen took out a chaotic gold coin and flicked it into the air, where it spun continuously.

"What makes it special?"

Luke Cruise stopped what he was doing in surprise and turned around to ask.

"I need to be compatible with archaeological museums..."

Rosen explained in detail, "I also want this history museum to have no physical form. I need this building to be an intangible entity, a museum that can house the sealed historical relics, a Sequence 3 history museum that can perfectly align with the authority of time and space..."

"There are quite a few requirements, which is a challenge for me..."

After a moment of contemplation, Luke Cruz said, "Give me three years to complete the design. You will need to pay a design fee of one hundred Chaos Gold Coins in advance, and three years later you will need to prepare another one thousand Chaos Gold Coins for construction costs."

"make a deal."

As he spoke, Rosen took out almost all of the chaotic gold coins he had on him.

Three years is not a short time, and Rosen had no intention of staying in the chaotic city for three years.

According to his plan, once he had earned enough Chaotic Coins, he would quietly leave the Chaotic City via data transfer.

However, just a few days after he harvested the chaotic currency of the outer city using the Hunter God's Eye, trouble came knocking.

In recent days, Rosen has been the only outsider to have come to the chaotic city.

His arrival immediately caused great chaos in the outer city.

Therefore, it was only natural to be suspected, especially for the strong in the chaotic city. Suspicion was enough. So when Rosen was about to leave that day, he found several warning letters on the door of his guest room.

These are warning letters from the six major powers, all containing the same message: urging him to stop stealing the chaotic currency from the outer city.

Even without these warning letters, Rosen was prepared to back down.

Because in the last two days, Lawson has been accumulating less and less chaotic currency.

The reason is simple: the superhumans in the outer city did all sorts of chaotic things in order to earn Chaos Currency. Now that they have the Chaos Currency, it disappears as soon as they get it. As a result, after the initial chaos, the outer city is showing signs of returning to order in just a few days.

Now that he has made enough money, Rosen is ready to leave at any time.

Since he was already there, he decided to take some local specialties with him before leaving.

Many of the special steams here cannot be found in the Chaotic Sea, and they are not even sold to outsiders. They are only traded internally using Chaotic Currency. The value of these special steams is self-evident. I can't just leave all those copper and silver coins to gather dust.

However, as soon as Rosen stepped out of the hotel, he was teleported to a place far away from the chaotic city.

Rosen immediately realized that someone had exploited a vulnerability in the inner city security zone.

The inner city is a safe zone, but Chaotic Currency is omnipotent.

The two conflict, with the chaotic currency taking precedence over the inner city security zone.

So someone used Chaos Currency to teleport him directly to a place far away from Chaos City.

Rosen looked around; he was surrounded by two Sequence 2s and one Sequence 3.

These people attacked without saying a word, and one of the Sequence 2 doctors directly used his domain skill.

Another Sequence 2 gourmet transformed into an unknown octopus the size of a human head, appearing out of thin air above Lawson's head and wrapping its sucker-like tentacles around his neck.

But Rosen disappeared in the next instant, returning to the hotel entrance.

One use of historical anchoring is to anchor time so that one's state can instantly return to a few seconds ago.

The chaotic city interfered with the Seventh Sense's perception of danger, but it could not affect the historical anchor that was updating its time coordinates every second. There was no way to imprison time, so there was no way to get him out of the city to ambush him.

"Looks like I'll have something to do without leaving the chaotic city."

Rosen sneered as he headed toward the chaotic shops in the inner city.

He was teleported to the outer city twice during the journey. This time he was prepared and returned to the inner city without anyone seeing him. He walked into the Chaos Shop and the three of them rushed into the Chaos Shop as well.
