Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 266 True Gods, Evil Gods, and the Lords of Kingdoms

Chapter 265

"King's Organization Scepter King..."

Rosen took out the King of the Grail card and placed it in the drawer of the mysterious study.

Even excluding the true god behind them, the remaining two candidates for the Knight of the Staff are not easy to deal with.

The King's Organization certainly already knows about him, but it's uncertain whether they know he possesses the Fallen Tarot cards.

The reason is simple: if he were Pompeii, he might not have reported it immediately.

Because Pompey harbored considerable resentment towards the King's Organization, even though the King's Organization provided significant assistance when he was promoted from Sequence 2 to Sequence 1, it was unable to further help Pompey advance from Sequence 1 to Sequence 0. Therefore, Pompey had long harbored disloyalty towards the King's Organization.

If there's a King of Cups and a King of Wands, then there should also be a King of Swords and a King of Pentacles.

It's just unknown how many kings the Kings Organization currently has.

Anyway, getting involved now won't bring any good. It seems he needs to be careful of the remaining two Knights of the Wand candidates.

……

As Rosen left the dazzling city, a mysterious space emerged from the deep sea of ​​the spirit realm.

The mysterious space is square, seemingly extending infinitely like the universe without spatial boundaries.

At the very center of the space was a white mist, and around the mist were four magnificent and majestic thrones composed of countless stars.

Behind each throne are scepters, chalices, swords, and coins made of stars.

A majestic figure appeared out of nowhere atop the throne of scepters, causing the mist within to tremble.

A moment later, a figure also appeared on the Throne of Swords and the Throne of Pentacles.

“My candidates for Knight of the Scepter and Page of the Scepter are dead.”

The King of the Scepter, the master of the throne, looked down at the mist and said in a deep voice.

"For you to summon us, could their deaths be related to the Grail King?"

The King of Swords, the master of the Throne of Swords, asked directly.

"He's only at Sequence 3, far from being able to start the real King's Game."

The King of the Scepters gave an affirmative answer.

"King of Star Coins, only you in the human world know that I can't wait any longer."

The King of Swords made no attempt to hide his urgency.

"I know you're anxious, but we have to wait no matter how anxious you are. Have you forgotten how we lost the last King's Game?"

The King of Pentacles countered with a question.

"It's my fault. I'll pay two copies, and you each pay one."

The King of Swords gave the King of Pentacles the answer he wanted without hesitation.

"A thousand years, at most a thousand years."

The King of the Scepters reminded him.

The King of Pentacles nodded and disappeared into the mysterious world, returning to reality.

After the King of Swords left, the King of Wands looked at the mist in the middle with a complicated expression, showing greed, hatred, and a trace of fear that he himself was unaware of. He looked forward to the King's Game, but did not want the King's Game to start again.

As the King of the Scepter also silently departed, the mysterious space sank back into the deep sea of ​​the spirit realm as if it had never existed.

……

After returning to the Divine Weapon Sky City, Rosen quickly realized that Kubi's threat was real.

He couldn't find any art designers or architects to help him upgrade and enhance the Void Gallery.

All demigods received a warning through the deep web of the spirit world. The warning was issued by the General Association of Art Designers and the General Association of Architects. It would be understandable if the General Association of Art Designers lost a vice president, but why did the General Association of Architects get involved?
As Rosen was pondering other ways to upgrade the Void Gallery, he suddenly discovered that the ban on him had disappeared.

The Art Designers Association not only withdrew the ban, but also issued a public apology on the deep web of the spirit world.

The same goes for the Architects Guild, just like the previous two guilds' bans and jokes.

As Rosen wondered what was going on, a messenger from the spirit world appeared silently beside him.

The messenger from the spirit world left behind a letter and vanished into the spirit world.

He is currently busy rebuilding the divine realm territory. Although the divine realm territory has not been fully restored, not just any spirit messenger can break in. If he is not mistaken, this spirit messenger is at least Sequence 0.

There is no other possibility besides a true god who can control a messenger of sequence 0.

Rosen's first thought was that the King of Scepters had found him.

However, the King of the Scepter is a true god from another race, so there's no reason for him to have such great power in the human world.

After carefully opening the letter and reading it thoroughly, Rosen realized that it was delivered by the King of Pentacles.

According to the letter, to start the true King's Game, four true gods need to hold four King cards, and not just anyone can control the King cards; the holder of each King card is chosen by fate.

Twenty thousand years ago, an incomplete game of kings was played.

Because all three kings wanted to seize the share of benefits that belonged to the King of the Holy Grail.

As a result, the King's Game was incomplete, and all three kings suffered. The game was even interrupted for 20,000 years. If a new King's Game is not started within a thousand years, all the kings will face great trouble.

So this time, having learned their lesson, the other three kings hoped he would become a true god within a thousand years.

Furthermore, they were willing to provide him with some financial assistance and help him fully master the King of the Grails cards.

According to the King of Pentacles, the power of the King's card can only be fully unleashed by successfully establishing a kingdom.

So the King of Pentacles will try to find a piece of land in the human world large enough for him to establish a country.

The King of the Scepter will provide the resources for establishing a kingdom, while the King of the Sword will provide him with a miraculous artifact that greatly enhances his divinity.

"Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?"

Rosen smiled as he looked at the letter in his hand.

He believed the letter was true because the true God had no need to play these roundabout games.

However, the three kings were so generous only to start the real King's Game.

He knew nothing about the King's Game, so it's easy to imagine that the game would be most disadvantageous for him a thousand years later.

Why was he so convinced that he could become a true god? Rosen quickly realized the answer.

According to the King of Pentacles, the holders of the King cards are chosen by fate and are destined to become true gods. Is it possible that all three Kings are born with the innate destiny of true gods and are therefore destined to become true gods?
However, his innate good fortune was achieved through hard work, so he intercepted the true chosen one.
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. Even the computer can't analyze the King Card, a miracle item.

The Miracle Pocket is an option, but its level is too low, so it can only analyze Miracle Treasures below Sequence 3.

Since overthinking is pointless, we might as well take advantage of this windfall.

As for the cost, let's talk about that a thousand years from now!

A few days later, Rosen received the Path to God gift package from the King of Star Coins.

The first great gift was that the God of Pentacles personally pacified a forbidden zone within the human world.

The so-called forbidden zone is an area contaminated by evil gods, similar to the Mechanical Spirit Islands.

Humanity's true gods are not incapable of dealing with alien evil gods; it's just that dealing with them comes at a high cost, with the effort far outweighing the reward. Furthermore, the human world is so vast that there's no need to go through the trouble of managing these so-called forbidden zones.

Moreover, the forbidden zone is not without its advantages; the affiliated spirit realms of the Mech Spirit Islands can produce Mech Spirit Conversion Skill Crystals.

This time, the forbidden zone chosen by the King of Pentacles is called the Nest of the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

It was roughly half the size of the Thunder Empire, and the entire continent was covered and enveloped by endless flesh and blood.

As the main god's computer gained access to the network of gods, Rosen's understanding of the gods grew.

The vast majority of true gods are beings of terrifying wisdom with normal thinking and extraordinary intelligence, worthy of the title "true god".

However, there is also a small portion of true gods who are chaotic, disordered, twisted, insane, and evil.

These true gods are called evil gods by the world.

All evil gods become like this because their divine origins, which were originally sublimated, have been corrupted.

In better cases, wisdom may be retained; in more severe cases, all wisdom is lost, leaving only pure instinct.

There are many reasons for the birth of evil gods. Some are those who ascended to true godhood from sequence 0 and suffered backlash from the laws due to unbearable external forces. Others are those who, after becoming true gods, suffered indelible injuries, which led to the corruption of their true godhood.

Others, simply seeking greater power, actively seek out forces that could corrupt the very essence of the true god.

The Evil Goddess of Flesh and Blood was once the true god of the goblin race, and the only female goblin.

No one knows what happened after that. The true form of the Mother of Flesh and her divine kingdom turned into a writhing mass of flesh, losing all intelligence and being left with only instinct. Her flesh and blood possessed the terrifying power to devour everything and corrupt all intelligent life.

The original lair of the Mother of Flesh was much larger than the Thunder Continent. The large portion that has now disappeared has been consumed by a piece of flesh left behind by the Mother of Flesh.

King Starcoin cleared out the nest of the Mother of Flesh and Blood, arguing that Rosen had paid a price that moved him, so the credit rightfully went to Rosen. While he was still traveling on the vast ocean, the Noble Council had already sent the King's Three-Piece Set through a spirit messenger.

These are three Sequence 1 extraordinary artifacts: the King's Scepter, the King's Crown, and the King's Throne.

It should have been Sequence 2, since Sequence 1 was already the standard for the Empire.

Clearly, the King of Pentacles was behind this again; it seems he's really latched onto a powerful figure and is now living off a kept man.

Several days had passed when Rosen arrived at the Mother of Flesh's lair. The land was now completely different from the photos he had seen in the Spirit Web. The entire continent was devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only endless fertile black soil.

Half a day later, we arrived at the central part of the mainland, where development and construction were already in full swing.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, a magnificent royal city is rising from the ground.

Around the royal city, several giant teleportation arrays are under construction.

In order to establish a nation, in addition to land, a population is also needed.

This population cannot come for nothing; it needs to be migrated from other empires via teleportation arrays.

The world is currently in a period of peace, so countries are controlling the rate of population growth.

The reason is simple: changing one's career path to the extraordinary is the best shortcut to changing the lives of ordinary families.

But what if no one can awaken their spirituality? Of course, the answer is to try to have more children.

In the early days of the World Government, every family had more than a dozen children.

That's no longer possible; in ordinary families, having two or three children is generally not allowed to continue having children.

However, this kind of thing varies from place to place; some places are strict about it, while others are not.

If population control is not effective, the population will gradually increase. Ordinary people will find it difficult to live and will try to become noble subjects. In these places, allowing ordinary people to have a large number of children is essentially waiting for overpopulation to select subjects.

These giant teleportation arrays now lead to several overpopulated empires.

Rosen did not try to hide his presence, but instead boarded the mechanical biological warship transformed from the Wrath of the Dragon God.

So before even getting close to the royal city under construction, a Sequence 2 knight took the initiative to guide the Wrath of the Dragon God to land in the center of the royal city. This should be the place where the royal palace is to be built, but it has not been built yet, and the inside and outside are isolated by an energy barrier.

In the center of this place, there is a wriggling mass of flesh, several tens of feet in size, rooted in a red sapling.

Rosen withdrew the Dragon God's Wrath, sensing a terrifying threat within the mass of flesh.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Howard."

The knight of Sequence 2 stepped forward and said respectfully.

"What do you call it?"

Rosen asked politely.

“Oil Yuri, the hero of the divine kingdom of the true god of wealth.”

The knight introduced himself.

"what is this?"

Rosen pointed at the lump of flesh and asked.

"This is a chunk of flesh from the Mother of Flesh and Blood that covers this continent..."

Oyl explained, “The small red tree rooted above is a Sequence 1 miracle plant. It can not only use the flesh of the Mother of Flesh as growth nutrients, but also grow Sequence 1 Flesh Secret Fruits. I don’t know what its specific effects are; you need to take control of this miracle plant.”

"Miracle Plant".

After carefully approaching, Rosen released his divine power to refine the small red tree.

The process was somewhat difficult, taking a full five days to refine.

【Flesh and Blood Hell Tree: A Miracle Plant】

[Level: Sequence 1]

[Miracle Attribute: Can use all flesh and blood as nourishment to grow the Flesh and Blood Secret Fruit]

[Miracle Traits: Blood and Flesh Hell, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Undying]

The Blood and Flesh Hell Tree originates from the ancient hell.

In the earliest times, before the spirit world was created, all living beings would die naturally and their souls would fall into hell.

When the spirit world was born, hell was the first to suffer.

The entire hell was completely destroyed by the gods. The hell world, which was once comparable to the abyss, could not withstand the combined destruction of all the true gods. The Blood and Flesh Hell Tree is a tree that grows in the Blood and Flesh Hell within hell.

The Blood and Flesh Hell Tree contains its own world, which is the Blood and Flesh Hell.

Any living being with flesh and blood that is imprisoned there will face a terrifying curse: every night, their flesh and blood will rot and fall off. What's even more terrifying is that during the day, their flesh and blood will regrow, and this flesh and blood is the nourishment needed for the growth of the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree.

Of course, maintaining the flesh and blood hell requires energy, and the growth of flesh and blood by life during the day is not something that comes out of nothing.

It can consume spiritual energy, and it can also consume ordinary food.

Because flesh-and-blood beings can grow flesh by eating food, the flesh-and-blood hell can modify the digestive system of life, thereby causing the life within it to eat frantically during the day and grow flesh rapidly. The size of the flesh-and-blood hell depends on the amount of flesh produced within it.

Then, the Flesh and Blood Secret Fruit, which grows from the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree, has two effects when consumed.

First, physical strength increases dramatically; second, one gains access to various flesh and blood talents.

One of the inherent flesh and blood talents that can be obtained is Life Withering, which allows one to sacrifice one's own flesh and blood body to achieve an astonishing increase in one's divine strength. Combined with the effect of flesh and blood secret fruit in strengthening the body, it is enough to accelerate the growth of physique and divinity at an astonishing pace.

However, if there are only benefits and no drawbacks, the Flesh and Blood Secret Fruit is enough to become a Sequence 1 production machine.

Even if the King of Swords were incredibly generous, he would never give him the Tree of Flesh and Blood.

As the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree continues to grow, its appetite will increase. If the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree is not satiated, the first to suffer the backlash will be its owner. To get rid of the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree, one must either die or become a true god and destroy the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree.

At that time, the Blood and Flesh Hell Tree will degenerate into a tree seed, which can be replanted and re-adopted.

Because the Flesh and Blood Fruit grown from the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree can only be eaten by the tree itself, and anyone else who eats it will suffer flesh and blood mutations and become a monster, the value of the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree is greatly reduced. Moreover, it has become a Damocles' sword that, once obtained, guarantees certain death unless one becomes a true god.

The God of Swords gave him this thing, and the God of Pentacles also chose the Nest of the Mother of Flesh to feed the Tree of Flesh and Blood.

The purpose was clear: to force him to become a true god within a thousand years.

If one cannot become a true god, then one will be devoured by the Blood and Flesh Hell Tree.

"They're all definitely not good people."

Rosen waved his hand, sending the Blood and Flesh Hell Tree and the rooted chunks of flesh into the divine realm.

He has the Origin Oil Lamp, and now he has the Secret Fruit of Flesh and Blood; a thousand years is enough time for him.

So he accepted this poisonous gift without hesitation.

One after another, massive amounts of resources were transported to this newly formed continent via teleportation arrays.

In addition to the royal city, nine more cities with populations of ten million will be built in succession.

Finally, 500 million people will be sent, of whom 100 million will live in cities, and the remaining 400 million will build small and medium-sized towns around the cities. Since there are no supernatural life forms or plants on the entire continent, and not even ashes, there will be at least a hundred years for development.

When the ashes spread across the entire continent a hundred years later, rebuilding a city will not be so easy.

For the time being, Rosen doesn't need to worry about these things.

Since population growth is slow, he can simply release a portion of the population from the Ancient God Realm.

Even those people who roamed the ocean with the Void Blue Whale could be summoned back to develop this new continent.

Rosen thought that was all, but he soon witnessed the true power of God.

On this day, Rosen was surveying the continent, thinking about how to artificially create some mountains.

Without the mountains to stop it, the entire continent would be swept away by hurricanes.

However, just as he was having a headache over the massive project, a divine projection suddenly descended from the sky above the continent.

Countless rays of light surrounding the gold coins fell, transforming into Titan giants at the edge of the continent.

These Titans moved mountains and filled seas along the edge of the continent, forcibly uprooting seamounts and creating a ring-shaped mountain range around the entire continent that was at least 180 million miles long and at least 200 miles high.

The hurricanes blowing from the sea around the mainland, as well as the towering tsunamis, were all blocked.

Moreover, these Titans ventured into the continent and began digging waterways and inland lakes, shaping more inland landforms, and transporting moisture from the sea to create terrifying rainfall that blanketed the entire continent, reshaping its ecosystem in just three days.

Rosen could do these things too, but it would take him hundreds of years.

The true god of pentacles did not appear in person, but only sent down a portion of his power and completed all of this in three days.

The difference between the true god and sequence 0 is too great.

What kind of power do those Sequence 0s of the Golden Sequence possess to be able to stand against a true god?
