Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 280 Qinong's Dead End and the Fall of the Gods
Chapter 279

"I'm counting on you now..."

Captain Serre of the Judgment temporarily handed the ship over to astronomer Prince for control.

Although Prince is not a knight, with the help of the celestial orb that was transferred from the main cannon to the engine, he was able to briefly control the Judgment Ship and even allow the Judgment Ship's domain shield to be protected by the law turbulence and the origin of stars.

Seeing that there was still some distance to the turbulent zone of laws, Prince began to manipulate the celestial sphere to draw upon the essence of stars from afar.

With the stellar origin of the same source as the planet as the shield, the Judgment Ship was not rejected when it rushed into the turbulent flow of laws.

However, the Mother of Flesh and Blood, who rushed in right after, was immediately repelled by the chaotic and distorted state of the laws.

Driven by primal madness, the Mother of Flesh and Blood fearlessly pursued the perilous path directly into the turbulent flow of laws.

However, the Mother of Flesh and Blood, whose movement was restricted within it, quickly lost track of the Judgment.

The Judgment Ship had a vast area to hide in the turbulent currents of law that stretched for tens of millions of miles.

However, at this moment, apart from Rosen, no one noticed that the flesh and blood at the site of Chinon's severed leg wound began to grow abnormally.

Serai glanced at Qinon, assuming that Qinon had dispelled the law power that was hindering the healing of his broken leg, and that he was regenerating flesh and blood to heal his broken leg. Little did he know that this momentary carelessness almost cost him his life.

Rosen seemed to be deep in thought; he felt that the new flesh and blood growing at the site of Qinong's severed leg was somewhat unusual.

It is not the flesh and blood of normal humans, but a very special kind of flesh and blood.

He hid in the mysterious study revealed in the painting and devoted himself to creating a prophetic painting.

In the painting, the Mother of Flesh and Blood swallows half of the Judgment Ship in one gulp.

It was obvious that the Mother of Flesh and Blood had precisely locked onto the Judgment's location within the Law Turbulence Zone. Conversely, the Judgment's shipborne radar was affected by the spatial chaos within the Law Turbulence Zone and failed to detect the Mother of Flesh and Blood's approach in time, thus resulting in the surprise attack.

It's impossible for the Mother of Flesh and Blood to lock onto the Judgment Ship all at once.

As expected, Qinong is suspicious. The special flesh and blood contained within his regenerated leg are likely to be very attractive to the Mother of Flesh and Blood. Exposing Qinong at this moment can not only thwart his conspiracy but also force Qinong to cut himself off from humanity.

But then he thought about it again and decided to wait and see.

Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that Shinon would betray the World Government.

For beings like gods, betraying the World Government is practically tantamount to courting death.

First, the divine kingdom is on the Eternal Continent and cannot be taken away. Second, the noble sequence is also affected by the ancient tree of the noble sequence and will suffer backlash. Finally, it would be too easy for the World Government to kill a traitorous god. Without the strength of a true god, one is not even qualified to rebel against the World Government.

Unless they find a true god from another race to protect them beforehand, the gods have no chance of survival.

However, the alien gods are not charitable; the price a betraying deity must pay is unimaginable.

Since Kanon wasn't driven to the brink, he shouldn't have betrayed the World Government.

Moreover, if Qinong had truly found a foreign god to back him up beforehand, he wouldn't have needed to secretly collude with the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

Therefore, eliminating all incorrect options, there is only one truth: Chinon is confident that he has become a true god.

It's unlikely that a normal true god could become one, so is it possible to become an evil god?
The turbulent flow of laws carries the source of evil gods; this is the only explanation.

If Rosen hadn't frequently spied on the Gods' Network, he would have had little knowledge of the existence of the Source of Evil Gods. However, as the director of the Archaeological Institute, who controlled the entire archaeological ranks, it was not surprising that he knew of the existence of the Source of Evil Gods.

Rosen abandoned the idea of ​​reminding Serai, because he also wanted the source of the evil god.

That thing can help gods become evil gods, so its market value among the gods is self-evident.

Most gods are willing to go bankrupt in exchange for the source of evil gods.

The space within the Law Turbulence Zone was chaotic, so even though the Judgment Ship was not repelled by the laws because of the Celestial Orb, it still cautiously and slowly advanced within the Law Turbulence Zone. This gave the Mother of Flesh and Blood, who had successfully located the Judgment Ship, the opportunity to catch up.

Due to the chaos in space, the Mother of Flesh and Blood was already close to the Judgment, but the warship's radar had not detected it at all.

The rampaging Mother of Flesh and Blood transformed into a blood-red, skinless serpent, instantly shooting hundreds of miles away. With its gaping maw, it swallowed the rear half of the Judgment Ship whole, and its blood-like saliva began to corrode and penetrate the ship's shield bit by bit.

Without the shield formed by this celestial sphere, the Judgment Ship would immediately be repelled by the turbulent flow of laws, just like the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

In a split second, astronomer Prince directly unleashed his own divine domain of laws, replacing the warship's shields to envelop the Judgment.

The divine realm of gods transcends the realm of demigods. Although they cannot control all the laws, they can control the limited laws within their domain by using the ultimate rules.

With the protection of the divine domain containing the origin of stars, even if the shield of the Judgment Ship collapses, it will not be rejected by the turbulent currents of law.

So the Judgment Ship abandoned its shield and took the opportunity to escape from the abyssal maw of the Mother of Flesh and Blood and begin its escape.

However, even though Prince's Law God Domain naturally merges with the stellar origin of the Law Turbulence Zone and is not subject to the law's rejection by the Law Turbulence Zone, it does not mean that he can move freely in the Law Turbulence Zone. He still has to force his way through the obstacles brought by the chaotic space when moving.

However, in this respect, the Judgment is no match for the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

The Judgment Ship's advantages lie in its speed and spatial teleportation, coupled with its terrifying damage. If it were to engage in a close-quarters head-on collision with a true god, the Judgment Ship would have no chance of gaining the upper hand. Therefore, the Judgment Ship, which had managed to escape, was quickly caught up by the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

Although the Mother of Flesh lost her wisdom after becoming an evil god, her fighting instincts became even more terrifying due to the trials of time.

Seemingly realizing that its prey could escape, the Mother of Flesh and Blood wriggled its flesh and blood, transforming from a giant serpent that had devoured the heavens into a muscular mantis covered in skinless muscles. It swung its bladed arms at near-light speed, tearing apart the divine domain of laws with visible force.

Realizing that breaking through the defense at this moment would mean certain death, Prince decisively detonated the Celestial Orb in that instant.

However, just as the celestial sphere compressed and released all the original essence of the stars to destroy itself, the Mother of Flesh and Blood, who could instinctively sense the threat, once again wriggled into a frog-like creature, and its terrifying long tongue wrapped around the Divine Realm of Laws and dragged it directly into its mouth.

The Judgment Ship attempted to escape the Divine Realm of Laws once again, but a terrifying suction force emanated from the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

The celestial sphere exploded at that moment, shattering the flesh and blood mother that had swallowed half of the Judgment Ship into pieces. The rear half of the Judgment Ship was also blown to pieces, with only the front half continuing to flee frantically with the help of the front engine.

On the surface, it seems that the self-destruction of the celestial sphere resulted in mutual destruction, but in reality, only the Judgment Ship was truly injured.

Although the Mother of Flesh and Blood appeared to be blown to pieces, it should be noted that defense is not the Mother of Flesh and Blood's strength. After becoming an evil god, the Mother of Flesh and Blood mastered the laws of growth and flesh and blood, and her body could quickly grow back and heal even when it was torn apart.

So if they run even a little slower, the Judgment Ship won't have a second chance to escape.

Having barely escaped death, Seres and Prince looked at Qinon almost simultaneously.

The attack by the Mother of Flesh and Blood was no coincidence. The Judgment Ship entered the Law Turbulence Zone so far in advance, and in an environment where effective large-scale perception was impossible, the chances of the Mother of Flesh and Blood accidentally encountering the Judgment Ship were extremely slim. Moreover, the first attack was simply a sneak attack.

Now, the turbulent flow of the law allows for a surprise attack, unless the distance between the attacker and the prey has been predetermined.

Qinon has been to the Law Turbulence Zone, and he has also colluded with the Church of the Mother of Flesh and Blood. The only one most likely to lead the Mother of Flesh and Blood to catch up is Qinon. Of course, it is also possible that Qinon is innocent, but how could they gamble on Qinon's character at such a life-or-death moment?
It is better to kill by mistake than to let go!
So almost simultaneously, Seres and Prince unleashed their divine domains of law, enveloping Qinon.

Having anticipated this, Qinon turned around and escaped from the Judgment through the broken opening, then crashed into the surrounding spatial turbulence and disappeared. Sera wanted to give chase, but was worried that Qinon would lead them closer to the Mother of Flesh.

Ultimately, his own life was more important, so Serai put the Judgment into his mount's storage space and began to look for a way out.

With astronomer Prince around, escaping the turbulent zone of the law was not difficult for them.

Before Cere put away the Judgment, Rosen had already broken free from the Sequence 3 criminal hunters under his control. He then directly transformed into Damon at the bloodline genetic level and tracked down Qinon through the bloodline connection between Damon and Qinon.

However, Qinong was much faster than him, and the turbulent flow of laws made it almost impossible for him to move.

Fortunately, he was able to use the Premonition Painting, and the Wrath of the Dragon God could also barely resist the law repulsion of the law turbulence zone. In the end, he did not lose track of Qinong. After tracking for several days, Rosen passed through a spatial turbulence and arrived at a stable alternate dimension.

The laws of nature were distorted and chaotic, and the space itself naturally followed suit, becoming extremely chaotic as well.

However, this space is exceptionally stable because it is permeated with other laws.

The laws of the turbulent flow zone are scattered and fragmented, but the laws of this space are complete and stable.

Rosen immediately noticed that at the center of this space, Qinong was standing before a mass of darkness, desperately trying to refine it with his divine fire, attempting to incorporate it into his divine essence. "We absolutely cannot let Qinong refine the source of the evil god..."

Rosen took out the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree and then opened a crack in the layers of the sealed Flesh and Blood Hell.

The glorious continent was once shrouded in a non-divine avatar of the Mother of Flesh and Blood. In Visca's alchemy laboratory, there was a living, divine avatar of the Mother of Flesh and Blood, and the decaying flesh was an extraordinary artifact refined from the flesh of the Mother of Flesh and Blood's true body.

The Blood and Flesh Hell Tree was already stuffed; the rest it couldn't finish was sealed away in Blood and Flesh Hell.

If the seal is released now, the Mother of Flesh and Blood will arrive soon.

At this moment, Qinong also sensed the aura of the Mother of Flesh and Blood not far away, but he was not directly attacked by the Mother of Flesh and Blood. He immediately realized that someone was imitating him and actively attracting the Mother of Flesh and Blood. When the Mother of Flesh and Blood arrived, it would be his death.

At this moment, Qinong's rationality had not yet been overwhelmed by the source of the evil god, and he did not hesitate to give up refining the source of the evil god.

Even the divine fire and divine essence that had been assimilated by the source of the evil god were painfully separated at this moment, and then he fled with his heavily injured body. However, before Qinong could leave this space, he was already surrounded and intercepted by world domains.

Upon seeing the demigod's domain ahead, Qinon immediately realized through his spirituality that it was Rosen's domain.

He, a Sequence 3, actually ambushed and killed a Sequence 0 here?

Others might have underestimated Rosen, but Chinon didn't hesitate to change direction and continue his escape.

If Rosen wasn't absolutely certain of success, would he dare to ambush and kill him here?
Qinong was very rational, so he did not linger in battle.

Rosen did not rush to hunt down Qinon. Instead, he released his divine avatar to lure away the Mother of Flesh and Blood with the Blood and Blood Hell Tree. Once he was sure that Qinon had not returned, he immediately took out the Ancient God True Realm from the Mysterious Study and summoned the World Tree's true form to envelop the Source of Evil Gods.

Using the World Tree and its laws, they forcefully brought the source of the evil god back to the Ancient God Realm.

It is visible to the naked eye that the World Tree is beginning to be corrupted by the source of evil gods.

Fortunately, the ancient trees of life and the spiritual realms that were attached to the World Tree had all been moved away, otherwise they would have been completely corrupted by the source of the evil god in no time, and the World Tree would not have been able to withstand it for long. Therefore, Rosen's first reaction was to send them to the main god's temple.

Then, as quickly as possible, contact the deity in need and trade this hot potato away.

However, at this very moment, the only World Fruit on the World Tree began to absorb the source of the evil god. The laws of painting guided the laws within the source of the evil god, which were hated by all living beings, and slowly injected them into a leaf on the ancient tree of laws.

The painting corresponding to this leaf is none other than the Horror Paradise painting, which is already in Sequence 1.

Originally just a Sequence 1 horror paradise, it rapidly grew to Sequence 0 after absorbing the source of the evil god, and eventually even gradually transformed into a true god. However, that requires complete fusion with the source of the evil god, and it is unknown how long the fusion will take.

In this process, Rosen also learned what laws were contained within the source of the evil god through the laws of painting.

That is the Law of Illusion, one of the lower laws belonging to the Law of Darkness.

It's not a particularly powerful law; it's more of a variant resulting from the fusion of the Law of Shadow and the Law of Illusion.

This is not a law that arises naturally, but a law created by a great and true God.

However, this great true god is dead, and even the laws he created have been used by the main world as scapegoats to bear the resentment of all living beings. This made Rosen suddenly think of a possibility: could the laws contained within the source of the evil god all originate from the fallen great true god?

Perhaps not all, but a significant portion of the sources of evil gods are certainly related to the Great True God.

As we can imagine, laws are the cornerstone of the world. The main world had to sacrifice some laws because of the resentment of all living beings. So, was it the laws that the main world itself gave birth to that, or the laws created by the great true god?

With such a clear distinction between close and distant relationships, why even think about how to choose?

Although they failed to sell the Source of Evil God, integrating it into the Horror Park was definitely a worthwhile investment.

It was only at this point that Rosen began to continue tracking Chinon.

The forced cessation of the fusion with the source of the evil god caused immense damage to Qinong.

This allowed Rosen to outpace Chinon's escape speed, and he finally caught up with Chinon after half a month.

Using the wolf totem for concealment, Rosen quietly circled around to the front of Qinong.

The world domain that unfolded in an instant enveloped Qinong in a surprise attack.

By the time Qinong unleashed his divine domain of laws and broke through the world's boundaries, Rosen had already brought Qinong to his divine domain territory.

Sensing the unique spatial intensity of Rosen's divine domain, Qinong realized that he could not escape.

If Rosen isn't dealt with, Rosen will relentlessly entangle him and leave him no way out.

Qinong's divine territory has become a divine kingdom, so he cannot expand his divine territory to fight against Rosen's divine territory.

However, with the arrival of the divine projection and the archaeological museum in Sequence 1, Qinong is not inferior in terms of geographical advantage.

In terms of strength, he was no less powerful. Although he was seriously injured, as Qinong turned to the earlier pages of his Eternal History Book, to the time before he came to the Astral Plane and was not injured, his condition instantly returned to its peak.

Forcibly reverting to the past and returning to a peak state is unsustainable.

Therefore, Rosen must be dealt with before his condition deteriorates.

A tiny wormhole suddenly appeared behind his head, from which a Dragon God's Roar Bullet shot out.

Qinon was hit, but he was unharmed.

Because he altered the history of his own theft and attack, he instantly transformed into the Arcane God, a true god who had fallen in the river of history. With the remains of the Arcane God's body that he excavated, he was able to briefly gain a portion of the Arcane God's power from the past.

Divine Body Disintegration Technique!
The arcane power, faintly surpassing that of Sequence 0, instantly struck Rosen across dozens of miles.

The Holy Lion's trench coat was torn open instantly, and even the World Domain couldn't stop it.

Rosen's ancient god body began to disintegrate, but because the Holy Grail Crown locked his life points, he could continue to fight at his peak despite being severely injured. At the same time, Yinglong's indestructible body made him stronger the more he was injured.

With the added combat power from the Judgment of Vengeance, Rosen was barely able to survive Chinon's arcane counterattack.

As time passed, Rosen was completely overwhelmed by Chinon.

But Chinon felt increasingly desperate because Rosen was too tough; no matter how injured he was, he wouldn't die. He could share the damage, and there was a group of angels behind him who would continuously heal him.

After using all my strength, I finally managed to shatter the crown on Rosen's head and kill him once.

As a result, Rosen actually mastered the Angelic Revival technique, and in the blink of an eye, he was fully revived and started all over again.

Finally, Qinong could no longer hold on; he could no longer use the Eternal History Book to rewind time and force himself to maintain his peak condition.

Returning to a state of severe injury, forcibly retracing history only exacerbated the damage, and of course, it became impossible to continue borrowing the power of the arcane god from history.

Realizing he might die, Chinon did not hesitate to use his last trump card to save himself.

In the blink of an eye, Qinong had disappeared from Rosen's divine realm.

Rosen knew that Chinon had retreated into the past.

Although they cannot affect the past, they can hide in it and survive.

To hunt down Qinong, he first needs to pinpoint the exact point in the historical timeline where Qinong escaped.

It would be difficult for anyone else to do this, but his divine avatar is the historian, and he is also the Time Lord. He quickly locked onto the timeline to which Qinon fled and traveled back in time to the point in the past when Qinon was hiding.

Seeing Rosen chasing after him, Chinon desperately prepared to drag Rosen down with him to his death.

Rosen took out a pre-drawn portrait of Qinong and instantly sent it to Qinong's sea of ​​consciousness through the Death Judgment. Then, he forcibly reduced the space to a zero-dimensional dot and used the suction force of the space reduction to seal Qinong's severely damaged divine essence in the painting.
