Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 314 The Anti-True God Alliance and the Death Curse Painting

Chapter 313

When Rosen pushed open the treasure vault door, he saw mountains of extraordinary resources piled up inside.

However, upon entering the treasure vault, he discovered that it contained a terrifying pressure of laws.

Moreover, the deeper one goes into the treasure vault, the stronger the pressure becomes.

Starting from the outside, Rosen and his four teammates moved all the small hills one by one.

As they walked, Laura the White King was the first to stop.

Lara loves the Black King, but his identity as a descendant of a true god has already caused Lara to harbor resentment.

Lara now harbors only deep-seated hatred towards the World Government and the true God.

Rosen estimated that the extraordinary resources Laura had collected were enough for her to upgrade her divine territory to a divine kingdom.

It seems that while it's said that one can freely collect treasures from the vault, the true god of stars has actually restricted the demand.

Soon the other three teammates also stopped one after another. As expected, the one who went the farthest and collected the most resources was Princess Iris.

They all left the vault, leaving only Rosen to continue on his way.

Soon Rosen was also nearing his limit. He had collected ten times more extraordinary resources than the Queen. These resources were enough to cultivate the God Realm to the level of a True God. This was already an astonishing number. Nearly half of the mountains of resources in the Star Coin True God's treasury had disappeared.

But Rosen wasn't satisfied; he wanted to make the God of Pentacles bleed out properly.

If he misses this opportunity, where will he find such a sucker?

It should be noted that his divine domain is different from other people's divine domains. The destruction of all directions at each sequence level requires the divine domain to self-destruct and rebuild once. As the divine domain has such a powerful foundation, the resources required for its growth are naturally greatly increased.

The resources are enough for other people's divine realms to advance to true godhood, but for him, the divine realms can only use up to sequence 0 at most.

To advance to the level of a true god, one would likely need to acquire at least ten times the resources.

Rosen had already made up his mind that once he advanced to Sequence 0, he would use the Dragon Binding Rope to sweep across the entire Dragon Realm. Otherwise, he would not be able to gather the enormous resources needed to advance to True God. Of course, he could not let go of the readily available resources in front of him.

The Holy Sword of Royal Authority instantly appeared in Rosen's hand and he plunged it in, simultaneously activating the Divine Kingdom of Royal Authority to resist the suppression of the laws.

The Royal Treasury, at full power, instantly swept away all the extraordinary resources within.

However, this should not be all of the Star Coin God's wealth, because all the extraordinary resources are just ordinary resources, without any extraordinary artifacts or miracle treasures, and not a single extraordinary resource of the God-level was seen.

The God of Pentacles, who had been watching the show, suddenly couldn't sit still and appeared in front of Rosen.

"You're too greedy!"

The God of Pentacles said unhappily.

"My divine domain is strong enough that none of those are enough to feed it."

As Rosen spoke, he unfolded a corner of the divine realm.

Even the Star God was shocked to learn that Rosen's divine domain was no less powerful than Sequence 0.

Rosen wasn't exaggerating, but this was good news for Him.

Other true gods enslave forbidden sequences through contracts, plotting to seize the laws these forbidden sequences will master once they become true gods, and to use their bodies to create extraordinary artifacts at the true god level.

But His scheme was different; He wanted Rosen to obey His commands during the King's Game.

Therefore, the stronger Rosen is, the greater the help he receives in the King's Game.

The Star Coin True God silently calculated for a moment, and then immediately took out an amount of extraordinary resources equivalent to a treasure trove and sent them to Rosen's divine territory. According to His estimation, this was more than enough for Rosen's divine territory to grow into a true god's kingdom.

Rosen inventoried all the resources in the Royal Treasury and found that at least one-fifth of them were complete.

If we don't use the "Ten Directions Annihilation" technique in the future, then all of these will be more than enough.

The God of Pentacles is truly willing to invest, and the King's Game must have far greater advantages than these resources.

Unfortunately, he possesses the Miracle Flame, which can reshape his innate destiny, so even if he violates the contract, it will not cause him fatal losses.

Conversely, he can use the contract to exploit the Star Coin True God before becoming a true god.

Seeing that Rosen was still not satisfied, the God of Star Coins twisted the void and teleported him back to the Glorious Continent without saying a word.

Rosen shook his head regretfully, and after confirming it was safe, returned to the mysterious study via data transmission.

At this time, the mysterious study was still the place of redemption that Barry spoke of, and through the window one could even see the blurry phantom of the great true god in the distance.

Rosen had assumed the World Government was unaware of this place, but now it seemed this location might be the World Government's main base on the Old World.

On the contrary, in the outermost layer of the Old World, the influence of the world's will is greater than that of the world government.

This time, the World Government taught him a lesson, making him realize that order is a toy for the strong.

Only when the true God gives you order can you enjoy it. If the true God wants to destroy order, then order is worthless.

Rosen stood by the window, lost in thought for a long time. He couldn't be bothered with the schemes of the World Government's true gods against others, but when it came to scheming against him, he would never let it go. If it weren't for the Miracle Flame, he would have had no choice but to completely rebel against the World Government this time.

Although he has now stayed behind after signing the contract, he is now irreconcilably opposed to the true gods of the World Government.

To take revenge on those true gods, one must first know oneself and one's enemy.

Then he needed help; he didn't want to fight at least seventeen true gods by himself.

Using his Hunter's Eye, Rosen quickly located Laura, who was drinking bitter wine.

After leaving the kingdom of the true god of pentacles and returning to her own duchy, Lara went straight to a bar to drown her sorrows in alcohol. This was the only thing she could do at the moment, but her strength was too great and she couldn't get drunk no matter how much she drank.

"I'll have a drink with you."

Rosen sat down next to Laura and poured himself a drink.

"Why are you here?"

Laura asked, puzzled.

"I want to build up a force so that one day I can cut off the heads of those true gods and use them as footballs."

Rosen admitted.

"Do you have a way to resolve the contract?"

Laura paused for a moment, then asked expectantly.

Why should I help you terminate the contract?

Rosen countered with a question.

Laura quickly realized what Rosen meant.

It's now clear that Rosen wants to build a force to target the true gods of the World Government.

His reliance in building his power was his ability to resolve that contract.

If this force recruits too few people, it will be of little use; if it recruits too many people, it cannot guarantee that it will not be discovered by the World Government.

Because there might be a few who betray others to curry favor with the world government.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the World Government's true god tricked them; as long as they can gain greater benefits, they can put aside their hatred.

Therefore, they wanted to ensure that this force was successfully established and that it would not be discovered by the true god of the World Government.

Therefore, Rosen must have the means to control others; otherwise, he wouldn't be foolish enough to help others break their contracts.

Given the choice between being controlled by Rosen or by those true gods, if there are no other options, of course you would choose Rosen.

"How do you want to control me? It's better to be controlled by you than by the God of Pentacles."

Laura put down her glass and said seriously.

"I like intelligent people, and I need to paint a picture for you."

Rosen looked Laura up and down and smiled.

"Then you have to show me that you can really solve the contract problem."

Laura also put forward her own conditions.

Rosen looked at the bartender across from him, and the power of the Miracle Flame enveloped the bartender, who began to modify his innate destiny.

Although innate fortune is difficult to measure, Lara's abilities allow her to sense it to some extent.

She quickly realized that the bartender's innate luck had permanently increased, and then she realized that the bartender's innate luck had been reset to zero.

After being forced to sign the contract, she studied it extensively.

Therefore, she was well aware that it was a terrifying contract rooted in innate destiny.

Now that it seemed that Rosen could really break the contract, Laura instantly activated her virtual domain, and everyone in the bar was wiped out by data and disappeared forever. The fate of the weak was vividly displayed at this moment.

"How do you want to draw it?"

Laura leaned close to Rosen's ear and asked.

"Of course, it's nude art..."

Rosen, with Laura's soft waist in his arms, teleported through the void. In the virtual studio, Rosen and Laura spent three whole days barely finishing a single painting.

This painting is no ordinary work. The painting paper is made from a portion of Lara's innate destiny, and the God's pigments are made by stripping Lara's divine essence. Finally, the painting techniques are mainly based on taboo curses.

Through the miracle ability Forbidden Curse, Rosen planted a death curse on Lara's divine essence.

Through this painting, he could directly curse Laura's divine essence and deprive her of her life.

The strength of a forbidden curse depends largely on the materials used in its creation.

It's not difficult to kill a regular Sequence 1 with a death curse using ordinary materials. It takes a long time to curse a titled demigod like Lara Croft. Cursing a god is a bit beyond its capabilities. Cursing a true god will at most annoy the true god but will not pose a fatal threat.

This is not because the forbidden curse is not strong enough, but because the power that Rosen Sequence 2 can exert has an upper limit.

However, when the paint used in this cursed painting is Lara's divine essence, the resulting death curse is extremely terrifying. Even if she becomes a god, she will only face certain death if she faces the death curse. Even if she becomes a true god, she will have less than a 10% chance of surviving.

This is only because Rosen is currently only Sequence 2. If he were Sequence 1, even a true god would only face certain death.

As long as this cursed painting remains in Rosen's hands, Laura's life or death is entirely in his hands.

This is even more terrifying than the contract of the God of Pentacles. If it weren't for the Miracle Flame's ability to control destiny, the death curse would have been backfired by the innate divine destiny within Lara when it was planted. Ordinary methods wouldn't even qualify her to assassinate someone with great destiny.

Laura has been rained on herself, so she's very enthusiastic about letting others get rained on.

Through data transmission, Rosen led Laura directly to Iris, who had already arrived in the Glorious Royal City.

Rosen never expected that Iris would take the initiative to come to him.

In the magnificent palace, Iris looked at Laura's nude art painting and glared at Rosen with some displeasure.

Why did you contact her first instead of me?

"Iris asked unhappily."

"I didn't think that much about it."

Rosen spoke the truth.

"If I don't let you draw, are you going to kill me?"

"Iris asked seriously."

"you guess?"

Rosen countered with a question.

Iris knew the answer without even asking, but she was just a little unwilling to accept it.

She didn't want to become a god and then serve the true god of stars, nor did she want her life and death to be in Rosen's hands.

Iris sighed; all she could do now was hope that Rosen was a normal person.

This time, Rosen only spent two days drawing, not only because he had experience, but also because Laura and Iris almost overwhelmed him when they teamed up, especially Iris, who, as a Sequence 1 actress, was equivalent to countless people on her own.

Rosen's third target was the god-king Zoe Parker, and this time he didn't paint a nude art piece.

Zoe was no match for Rosen in a one-on-one fight, let alone with Laura and Iris standing next to him.

However, Zoe also put forward his conditions: if one day the true god of the World Government is defeated, Rosen needs to tear up the cursed painting drawn with his divine essence. In exchange, he will master a cursed ability that comes at the cost of his life.

If Rosen breaks the agreement, Zoe would rather die than let him die; she would curse Rosen with her life before she dies.

The next Food King, Nathan Sinatra, also succumbed to the forbidden curse at Zoe's urging.

Like Zoe, Nathan will also acquire a curse ability that comes at the cost of his life in the future.

This was their only check on Rosen. If even this check was gone, they would rather die than let Rosen control their lives. They didn't want to finally defeat those true gods only to have their lives controlled and manipulated by Rosen again.

After finishing Nathan's curse painting, Rosen didn't rush to find anyone else.

Because using forbidden curses to create cursed paintings requires permanently consuming his maximum divine essence, even with the flesh and blood fruit to restore him, he can't handle four paintings in a row. He can only wait for the flesh and blood hell tree to grow new flesh and blood fruit before he can continue painting.

This requires the Flesh Hell Tree to consume enough flesh and blood, and its growth needs to be accelerated.

The latter has the help of the Mother Tree of Life and the assistance of the Flesh and Blood World Fruit, so it's not a problem.

But enough flesh and blood was a bit of a challenge for Rosen.

So he contacted the King of Star Coins directly, demanding food from the Flesh and Blood Hell Tree. The True God of Star Coins quickly sent countless corpses of abyssal demons from the abyssal battlefield, enough for him to eat Flesh and Blood Secret Fruits until Sequence 0.

However, if it's used to paint forbidden curse paintings, then at most it can only be used to paint a few more paintings.

Since the God of Pentacles was no longer a reliable source, and continuing to demand more would arouse suspicion, Rosen had to find another way.

Once the corpse of the abyss demon had transformed into the Flesh and Blood Fruit, his first target was the Forbidden Sequence.

The number of Blood and Flesh Secret Fruits is currently limited, and the number of forbidden curse paintings that can be drawn is also limited.

Therefore, Rosen planned to first control several forbidden sequences and then help them advance to sequence 0. With the help of several gods who had achieved forbidden sequence status, he was confident that he could lure and kill the Mother of Flesh and Blood. As long as he could kill the Mother of Flesh and Blood, he could reap a large amount of Flesh and Blood Secret Fruit.

At that time, not only will it be able to easily draw hundreds of forbidden curse paintings, but it may even be able to make the Flesh and Blood World Fruit fully mature.

The World Tree will definitely receive a significant boost in return, which is why Rosen has set his sights on the Forbidden Sequence this time.

The Heavenly Sound Canyon of the Divine Sound Empire is the territory of Bruno Louis.

The entire Sky Sound Canyon is like a giant concert hall, where Bruno's concerts can attract audiences from all over the world to enjoy his music. However, in recent months, Bruno has not held any concerts.

Over the past few months, Bruno has tried every means possible but has been unable to break the contract on the divine origin.

Bruno had no heart to hold a concert if he thought about a dark and hopeless future.

Inside the Void Concert Hall, Bruno frantically pounded the piano keys.

He poured all his anger and frustration into his music to vent his emotions.

When the piece ended, applause erupted from the audience.

Bruno had already spotted the five uninvited guests offstage. All the forbidden sequences except for Rosen were Sequence 1. At Barry's banquet, all the other forbidden sequences were ranked before Rosen, but Bruno was ranked after Rosen, so he had long disliked Rosen.

Today, Rosen somehow managed to sneak into his Void Concert Hall. Now that he's in, he's not going to get out easily.

Half an hour later, Bruno collapsed in front of Rosen, half-dead.

It took Rosen a lot of effort to keep him from dying from his injuries.

He used the Kingdom of Kings to offset Bruno's geographical advantage, used the Nine Realms of Gods to severely damage Bruno's divine territory, and finally even used the Imaginary Dragon to barely defeat Bruno while holding back.

"You came here just to beat me half to death?"

Bruno asked weakly.

"I want to paint a forbidden curse for you..."

Rosen explained his purpose, and Nathan and Zoe joined in trying to persuade him.

Upon hearing Rosen explain his purpose, Bruno, in his rage, already considered dragging Rosen down with him to his death.

However, after being persuaded by Nathan and Zoe, Bruno finally agreed to let Rosen draw.

Because there are only two paths in front of us: the first is death, and the second is being controlled by Rosen.

If death were so easy, the pact wouldn't have been signed in the Land of Redemption.

If the true god of the World Government had used force to coerce from the beginning, less than half of the hundreds of demigods would have actually signed the contract.

Because they all have their own pride, many demigods would rather choose death or enslavement than the former.

That's why the World Government fabricated lies and forged contracts, creating the illusion that they were abandoned by the World Government, and that the World Will gave them power so that they could help the World Will escape its predicament—a complete deception.

Once the contract is signed, there will be no one willing to commit suicide anymore.

According to the true terms of the contract, they only needed to complete one task assigned by the true God.

There must be a way out of this, and that way out is the hope left for all the demigods.

Every demigod thinks that as long as the contract is fulfilled, even if it means facing death, they might still be able to fight their way out.

The same applies now; Bruno would rather die than be controlled by Rosen forever.

However, as long as these demigods work together and as long as they all possess the means to curse with their lives, unless Rosen intends to perish with them, they can work together to force Rosen to tear up all the forbidden curse paintings.

Although the prerequisite is to kill those true gods, this is exactly what Bruno has always dreamed of doing.

So, after being persuaded, Bruno finally agreed to cooperate and painted the forbidden curse picture.

Rosen then painted five more forbidden curse paintings. Under Bruno's personal persuasion, all five forbidden sequences chose to compromise. However, they all requested a one-on-one duel with Rosen, and without exception, they were all defeated by Rosen.

The Flesh and Blood Secret Fruit has been exhausted, so Rosen used some of his resources to help them advance to Sequence 0.

It was only then that Rosen realized just how generous the God of Pentacles truly was.

Other true gods who signed contracts with the Forbidden Sequence did not directly provide cultivation resources; at most, they only offered some conveniences. If you want cultivation resources, you still have to obtain them yourself. In this respect, the King of Star Coins was very generous.

However, this also shows how much the King of Pentacles values ​​the King's Game.

We put all our effort into training them, simply so they'll fight tooth and nail in the King's Game.
