Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 278 The Shadow of the Royal City and the Church of the Evil God

Chapter 277

In the glorious royal city, Rosen quietly returned via data transmission from the middle layer of Storm Canyon.

Whether the sea god will be resurrected is still thousands of years away.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about it; even if the sky falls, it will be the true gods of each race who will hold it up.

Only when the true gods of various races could no longer withstand the pressure would it be his turn to worry about the threat posed by the sea god.

Moreover, the sea god is just a great true god. There has been more than one great true god in history. Even now, the various races are not living well. Unless the ancient gods awaken, nothing else matters.

In the magnificent royal palace, Rosen was soaking in the open-air bath on the top floor, lying on the edge of the pool and looking down at the royal city.

From the moment he returned, his intuition told him that something was amiss.

The Glorious Kingdom has developed very well over the years, and more and more towns have been built. The total population of the entire Glorious Continent has exceeded 10 billion, and it will continue to expand at a rate of at least doubling every 20 years.

On the surface, the glorious kingdom is thriving and everything is normal.

However, since his seventh sense tells him something is wrong, then there must really be a problem.

Rosen casually flipped open the Void Sketchbook and quickly finished a precognitive drawing.

Looking at the contents of the painting, he raised his head and gazed up at the sky.

The glorious continent has not yet been shrouded in ashes, so you can still see blue skies, white clouds, and a huge sun.

Ignoring the sunlight, the Hunter God's Eye traversed the endless void to gaze upon the star realm where the stars resided.

He quickly locked onto a meteorite, but the next instant, the Hunter's Eye exploded.

It will be destroyed by its own destruction, because if it doesn't destroy itself, it will become distorted.

Based on the prediction and the successful observation just now, it was determined that the meteorite, which is several hundred meters in diameter, will fall on the Glorious Continent in ten years. The Mother of Flesh and Blood is sleeping inside the meteorite, which means that many evil god cults have infiltrated the kingdom.

It's one thing for the evil god's church to hide in the shadows, but it actually has enough manpower and resources to guide the Mother of Flesh and Blood to descend?
It seems that the intelligence agency dispatched by the World Government has already taken a stand against him.

Otherwise, the intelligence agency couldn't have been completely unaware of the extent of the evil cult's activities.

On behalf of the World Government, they investigate intelligence on various countries, with their most important and fundamental task being to guard against the evil cult.

Now that the evil cult is playing such a big game, the intelligence agency seems to be blind and deaf.

It's obvious that there must be an internal problem.

Rosen released the regenerated Hunter's Eye to monitor the members of the intelligence bureau. The intelligent life form of the Eye also investigated all suspicious information in the deep web of the spirit world and soon made a discovery: the director of the intelligence bureau who came to the Glorious Kingdom had a very good relationship with Qinon Ture.

Following the incident in Shentu City, Qinong was punished and sent to the front lines to carry out a mission.

Therefore, Qinong has remained relatively quiet over the years.

However, almost ten years ago, Qinong had already successfully completed his mission on the front lines.

By then, Qinong must have already wanted revenge on him.

However, the establishment of the Glorious Kingdom was backed by the generous support of the God of Pentacles.

Therefore, Qinong didn't even dare to act openly. Instead, he planned to use the power of the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood to guide the Mother of Flesh and Blood's true form to the Glorious Continent. Then, he would shift the blame to the Church of the Evil God, allowing Qinong to stay out of the situation and eliminate him by using someone else's hand.

It seems that Shen Tu City learned its lesson from the past, and Qinong has now learned to play dirty tricks.

Now that Chinon has delivered himself to their doorstep, Rosen has no intention of backing down this time.

In the past, he couldn't afford to mess with Sequence 0, so he could only hide and dared not confront them directly.

But things are different now; he's confident he can handle sequence 0 as well.

The painting techniques, combined with the authority of time and destiny, resulted in a prophetic painting that easily pointed to the specific location of the evil god's church.

There isn't just one evil cult in the Glorious Kingdom; there are actually six hidden ones.

Those who understand the Church of Evil Gods best are always the other Churches of Evil Gods. Therefore, the unusual movements of the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood directly attracted the attention of five other Churches of Evil Gods who had noticed the anomaly. These Churches of Evil Gods all wanted the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood to be the first to take the lead, and then seize the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Glorious Kingdom.

Otherwise, once the ashes engulf the glorious kingdom, the power of the evil god will not be so easily bestowed.

Rosen does not intend to deal with all six evil god churches personally.

He only has two clones; he can't possibly split his original self in two to use them.

Xiaolongnu and the others, having shared his abilities, wouldn't have much trouble dealing with Sequence 2. However, he couldn't bear to let his precious darlings fight the Evil God's Church. What if they accidentally grew eight eyes and three legs, given their association with evil gods?
Therefore, after weighing the options, Rosen decided to let the Grail Knights be responsible for dealing with the church's followers below Sequence 2.

Over the years, he has not stopped bestowing titles upon the Grail Knights. Apart from leaving a few reserve positions for potential top talents, he has bestowed titles upon a total of eighty Grail Knights. In just over twenty years, the vast majority of them have grown to Sequence 4.

The key to such an incredible cultivation speed lies in the cultivation of resources and treasures at any cost under the accelerated time.

Moreover, Rosen replaced the bodies of all the Grail Knights. Their souls and divine essence remained theirs, but their bodies, like those of the dragons, were replaced with his flesh and blood clones. The weakened ancient god bodies, which had grown to Sequence 4, were already a result of restraint.

Of course, not everyone is forced to grow too quickly; those who are forced to grow too quickly are not necessarily top-tier in terms of natural talent.

No matter how much training they receive, at best they can only become Sequence 1.

Those few Grail Knights who have the potential to become gods, despite having the best talents, are currently only at Sequence 5.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the strongest Grail Knight is only Sequence 4. The combined combat power of eighty Grail Knights exceeds that of a thousand Sequence 3 Dragonblood Nagas, because all Grail Knights can share the sequence skills of their Painter sequence.

If it weren't for the incredible potential of the knights appointed by the king, they wouldn't be worth the Star Coin Kings' careful nurturing.

Of course, Rosen was also worried about accidents, so his two clones would be ready to support the Holy Grail Knight at any time.

In the end, only the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood remained, which Rosen could then easily deal with.

As dusk settled, the Grail Knights collectively activated their Holy Light Invisibility spell, each riding a Sequence 3 Holy Unicorn they had purchased at great expense from the Angel race. Although their bodies shone with holy light like miniature suns, they could distort and restrain light, appearing like ghosts in the darkness, unseen by anyone.

Deep within the sewers of a corner of the glorious royal city, fifteen Holy Grail Knights, transformed into light elementals, traversed the surface.

Ahead lies the hidden Church of Pain, where fifteen Grail Knights simultaneously summon the Void Album.

Their Void Books are all projections of Rosen's Void Books.

In order to allow the Grail Knights to share his Void Album, Rosen even fused the extraordinary essence of the Sequence 1 Abyss Splitter, which allows the Void Album to generate projection clones, with the Void Album's Sequence 3 upgrade over the years.

In the blink of an eye, the original fifteen Grail Knights became thirty.

The extra fifteen are self-portrait clones. These self-portrait clones do not have sacred unicorn mounts, nor are they responsible for the main attack. Instead, they mainly rely on the painter sequence skills shared from Rosen to assist their main body in battle.

Fifteen self-portrait clones simultaneously began drawing prophetic paintings, and soon the scenes of the Church of Pain appeared in the paintings.

The defensive measures, the number of followers, and even the positions of each follower shortly afterward, as well as their reactions after the attack, were all clearly depicted in the precognitive drawing.

Next, stop drawing the prophetic paintings and begin drawing portraits of all the believers.

With these portraits, the self-portrait clones can unleash a death sentence, directly attacking and cursing the target in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In addition, those targets that cannot be killed by a death sentence can be transformed using human figures through portraiture.

If even with such assistance, the main body cannot kill all the followers, the fifteen self-portrait clones will later disperse around the Church of Pain, sealing off space through five-dimensional painting, trapping the entire Church of Pain within the painting, unable to escape. 'Once all the figures are finished, the fifteen Grail Knights will simultaneously cast Holy Throw.'

The tip of the knight's lance, combined with the giant holy unicorn formed from the holy light surrounding him, locked onto different targets in different directions. These energy holy unicorns rushed towards the targets at almost the speed of light as the lance was thrown.

Wherever it passed, rocks and soil in the sewers were reduced to ashes, and the protective barrier secretly set up by the Church of Pain was directly shattered.

Following closely behind, the Grail Knights, riding the Holy Charge mount, wielded their Sequence 2 Angelic Swords and stormed into the church. Despite possessing formidable defensive skills, all the Grail Knights abandoned defense and concentrated all their power on offense.

This certainly makes the damage more terrifying, but it also greatly reduces the defense of the Holy Grail Knight, who is originally a tank.

Since it was a fight to the death where both sides were severely injured and perished, the followers of the Church of Pain were quickly killed, and several Grail Knights were also killed by the Sequence 2 followers of the Church of Pain. However, before their bodies could fall to the ground, they were resurrected by other Grail Knights with full health.

The fifteen Grail Knights were like fifteen undead monsters, perfectly coordinating their attacks to slaughter thousands of Pain Cultists, leaving a trail of blood.

If it weren't for the Wizard Tower of Glorious Royal City deploying an elemental barrier to cover the battlefield, the entire Glorious Royal City would have been demolished, instead of the city shaking and undulating like it's dancing in the middle of the night.

While the five teams of Holy Grail Knights launched a fierce attack on the Church of the Evil God, Rosen had already surrounded the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

The entire church was hidden underground within the intelligence agency.

Therefore, when Rosen created the five-dimensional painting, he also included the intelligence agency within the space of the five-dimensional painting.

As an area of ​​one kilometer in radius was covered within the five-dimensional painting, Rosen began to reduce the dimensionality of the five-dimensional painting.

The buildings within a kilometer radius instantly transformed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, as if slapped flat. All the residents affected in the scene were thrown out, and many who were spending the night were wrapped in blankets and screamed in fright.

In the blink of an eye, the five-dimensional painting collapsed and shrunk to the size of a palm.

Through the painting in his hand, he could see the Flesh Cultists and intelligence agents frantically attacking the surrounding space in an attempt to break out of the painting. Because it was a hastily drawn five-dimensional painting, and because it contained a Sequence 1 Flesh Cultist, the painting could only last for a few seconds at most.

However, there was enough time, so Rosen took the painting in his hand and went directly to the Divine Realm.

The hastily drawn dimensional paintings were mainly responsible for capturing enemies to prevent the battle from destroying the glorious royal city.

However, the five-dimensional paintings of the divine realm have been meticulously drawn over the years.

There are nine layers of five-dimensional paintings, each of which is a Sequence 2 spiritual painting. The nine layers are combined with time loops, space loops, and memory loops. These flesh-and-blood followers of the Mother of Flesh Church are trapped in them and cannot escape unless they use divine-level power.

Rosen hid in the other eight dimensions of the nine-dimensional space, using the Wrath of the Dragon God to shoot down the Flesh Cultists trapped in the alternate dimensions.

The Flesh Cultists tried everything, only knowing that the deadly bullets originated from other dimensions, but they couldn't find the hunters who shot them. Seeing the Flesh Cultists being killed one by one, the Flesh Pope finally couldn't take it anymore.

As the Pope of the Church of Evil Gods, the Flesh Pope wields the extraordinary artifact Rotten Flesh of Sequence 0 of the Church.

Once the power of decaying flesh and blood is unleashed, it can even corrupt and engulf the divine kingdom of gods.

However, to activate the Rotten Flesh, the Flesh Cultists need to sacrifice themselves to feed the Rotten Flesh.

Even without the Pope's order, those Flesh Cultists who saw the rotting flesh rushed towards it, for the rotting flesh was a supernatural being transformed from the rotten flesh of the Mother of Flesh. For the Flesh Cultists, merging into the rotting flesh was equivalent to returning to the Mother of Flesh.

This kind of death is not painful, but rather a return to the supreme glory of the Mother Goddess.

Just as the decaying flesh was about to meet the activation conditions, Rosen instantly cast Space Reset, Time Reset, and Memory Reset.

All the surviving flesh-and-blood cultists had memories of the time when they had just broken through the five-dimensional painting and fallen into the divine realm.

Rosen controls the scope of the reset, so only the living are reset; once someone dies, they are truly dead.

None of the Flesh Cultists realized that they had just experienced a massacre. They assumed that the missing Flesh Cultists around them had been separated and trapped in other spaces by the enemy, and had no idea that the missing Flesh Cultists were dead.

After a brief massacre, the flesh-and-blood pope was once again forced to use the church's trump card to ravage flesh and blood.

Rosen also completely reset once again, absolutely not giving the decaying flesh and blood a chance to activate.

With each reset, the number of Flesh and Blood Cult members who died or were injured increased.

After the final reset, only the Sequence 1 Flesh Pope and three Sequence 2 Flesh Cultists remained. They were able to survive until now because they were strong enough to withstand the Dragon God's Wrath and could resist the urge to merge into the decaying flesh.

“Be careful, we and the believers have been separated into different spaces.”

The Flesh Pope, now with his memories reset, spoke again, completely unaware that the remaining Flesh Cultists were all dead.

This is the terrifying aspect of memory reset: it erases things that have already happened from memory time and time again.

However, memory reset is not without its flaws. First of all, each memory reset is essentially a tampering with the storage of divine consciousness memories. If the number of tamperings is small, it is fine, but if the number of tamperings is large, it will cause irreparable damage to the divine origin.

Therefore, the more times a memory is reset, the more likely the entity being reset is to discover its own abnormality.

At this moment, the Blood and Flesh Pope already sensed something was wrong. He was just inside the church when he was suddenly ambushed and trapped in a painting. He fought his way out of the painting and ended up in the enemy's divine territory. In just a few seconds, how could his divine essence have been so severely damaged?

The flesh-and-blood pope began to suspect that something was wrong, that the enemy had used some underhanded means to damage his divine essence.

But little did he know that his time and memories had been reset multiple times.

This time, with only a few Sequence 2 Flesh Cultists by his side, facing the elusive and terrifyingly powerful supernatural bullets, the Flesh Pope was finally forced to bring out his rotten flesh. This time, only Sequence 2 Flesh Cultists remained to be sacrificed.

After several resets, the Flesh and Blood Pope was left all alone.

It must be said that the Pope is indeed the Pope. He has a plethora of Sequence 1 artifacts in his possession, and even three Sequence 0 artifacts. However, apart from the Rotten Flesh artifact, the other two are a defensive artifact called the Flesh Suit and an escape artifact called the Flesh Doll.

The Flesh Pope had no intention of sacrificing himself to activate the decaying flesh; every time he was forced into a desperate situation, he escaped by using the flesh puppet.

Even Rosen's divine domain couldn't contain the flesh-and-blood pope who was determined to escape, so it had to be reset again and again.

After dozens of resets, the Flesh Pope finally realized what was happening.

His memories had been brutally altered many times, and the enemy gave him no chance to escape with the help of the flesh puppet. Realizing that he was trapped in the divine territory and could not escape, the Flesh Pope no longer cared about his life.

The flesh and blood puppet has two functions. The first is to transfer the divine essence to a pre-prepared flesh and blood shell.

However, this requires a certain amount of time to actively activate, or it can be passively activated after death.

If you activate it manually, it will definitely be interrupted by the enemy.

Therefore, the Flesh and Blood Pope prepared for a passive resurrection, so he used the second function of the Flesh and Blood Puppet, which was to temporarily take on all the damage in place of the original, including the enemy's forced alteration of his memories.

After another memory reset, the Flesh and Blood Pope retained his memories from the previous one.

Realizing that the enemy possessed the terrifying power to reset time and memories, the Flesh Pope no longer cared about his life and directly chose to sacrifice himself to activate the decaying flesh. Rosen's emergency reset was blocked by the flesh puppet.

After the flesh-and-blood pope was devoured by rotting flesh, this most terrifying extraordinary artifact of the flesh-and-blood church was finally successfully activated.

A mass of rotting flesh began to grow wildly, like cancer cells, enveloping everything in its path and allowing everything it covered to decay and become nutrients for its own rampant growth.

The five-dimensional painting depicts nine layers of space, and five layers have been destroyed in a short period of time.

Seeing that he could not stop it, Rosen did not hesitate to transfer the decaying flesh and blood space to another five-dimensional painting space.

Trapped here are the intelligence agency personnel. Faced with rotting flesh and blood, the intelligence agency members have no ability to resist at all. Except for a few who were unaware of the inside story and were transferred away by Rosen, all the remaining direct subordinates of the intelligence agency director were devoured by the rotting flesh and blood.

Seeing that the decaying flesh and blood were about to break through the five-dimensional painting and devour the divine realm, Rosen, who had completed his plan of killing with a borrowed knife, took out the Blood and Flesh Hell Tree.

This thing can be called the nemesis of the Mother of Flesh and Blood's clones. Rotten Flesh and Blood itself is flesh that fell from the Mother of Flesh and Blood, and is naturally restrained by the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree. Of course, the limit of restraint is that. If it faces the Mother of Flesh and Blood herself, then the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree will be devoured instead.
