Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 392 The Holy Grail Playground and the War of a Hundred Nations
Chapter 391

In his mysterious study, Rosen uses God's palette to transform the various eternal elements at his disposal into God's paint.

Then, unfolding the horror park, I began to draw a mysterious spirit realm within the painting, relying on the authority granted by the King's Game.

The three kings, Black Iron, Silver, and Gold, gradually merged into the newly born Mysterious Realm as the Mysterious Realm was drawn.

That's not all; Rosen's clones began demolishing the capital cities of the three kingdoms.

Of course, it's not the royal city surrounded by humans, but three royal cities filled with black iron, silver, and gold androids.

The moment this eerie and mysterious realm was born, the horror paradise began to transform and evolve.

【Horror Paradise: Miracle Painting】

[Rank: Forbidden God/Demon]

[Miracle Attribute: Able to generate mysterious spiritual realms using the Eternal Source and paintings]

【Mysterious Realm: King's Playground】

[Miracle Trait: Mysterious Rules]

Using the mysterious spiritual realm drawn with the eternal origin, Rosen merged all the mysterious spiritual realms.

The King's Playground is triangular in shape, with a huge and magnificent royal city at each of the three corners.

All the residential buildings in the city were demolished and used to house the various mysterious and spiritual game scenes.

At the heart of the final King's Playground lies the terrifying royal city, which houses a game shop.

The terrifying royal city has two sides; on the surface, it is the only safe zone in the King's Playground.

However, on the other side of the terrifying royal city, there are all the mysterious rules of the King's Amusement Park, which together form the strongest mysterious rule of the horror park: no one can disobey any of the King's orders.

Unless they can find the only way out, and successfully kill the kings of the three royal cities of Black Iron, Silver, and Gold.

This path to survival is extremely difficult, and logically, the mysterious rules should weaken accordingly.

However, because the king ordered this mysterious rule to be formed by merging all other mysterious rules, the mysterious rule did not weaken due to the difficulty of survival. Anyone who disobeys the king's order will be suppressed and imprisoned in the horror park by all supernatural forces.

This time, when drawing up the upgraded Horror Paradise, Rosen, as usual, burned it all over with Eternal Holy Light.

Without the concepts of "uniqueness of heaven and earth" and "eternity and immortality," the Miracle Sequence's control over Horror Paradise was qualitatively strengthened.

The most valuable spoils from the three kingdoms, aside from the King's Game privileges, the Flame of Civilization, and three special metals, have almost all been incorporated into Horror Paradise. Now, even if he were to face the King of the Empire, he would be absolutely confident of taking them down.

Therefore, he was no longer prepared to endure it and wanted to sweep across the King's Continent in the shortest possible time.

Having gained a little bit of control, Rosen finally discovered the true nature of the King's Game.

This is not a real world. The real world cannot support so many kingdoms, nor can it make all the kings become great gods. Only a game world on a spiritual level can. The entire continent of Kings is actually a world similar to the spirit world, where the spirit is the main focus and the material is secondary.

The core of the King's Game is the source seed of the eternal game origin, which then disperses into five parts: one large and four small.

Each of the four king cards occupies a small portion, and in the end, the majority of the source species is divided among all kingdoms and empires.

Destroying all kingdoms and empires will allow you to completely control the Eternal Game Source.

Then there is the eternal source of corruption, now lost in the forbidden zone formed after the destruction of the Fallen Empire.

Because the source of eternal corruption is intact, it continues to erode and corrupt the King's Game. Therefore, the King's Game has turned everything corrupted by eternal corruption into taboo. If it weren't for its home-field advantage, the King's Game might have been completely corrupted and corrupted long ago.

The so-called GM who currently holds the authority over the King's Game is actually one of the emperors who survived the Fallen Empire War.

Knowing the truth about the King's Game and having some authority, there's no need to worry about being targeted by those with excessive privileges.

Rosen immediately ordered the Holy Grail Empire to prepare for war and commanded the Holy Grail Legion to march out. Meanwhile, he was busy subduing the nobles of the three kingdoms of Iron, Silver, and Gold. With the prince's help, integrating the Iron and Silver kingdoms into the Holy Grail Empire was no problem at all.

Only the Golden Kingdom is a bit of a problem, as its only prince refuses to submit.

Rosen had no choice but to capture him alive and replace him with a symbiotic clone.

Half a month later, the five legions of the Holy Grail, Wargames, Iron, Silver, and Gold surrounded the Sky Kingdom. As for the Golden Lion Legion, which had originally submitted, it had been killed by the time-travel scenario after the game was reset.

So sometimes luck is very important; the Golden Lions could have been wiped out if they had taken just one wrong step.

Five kingdoms ganged up on one kingdom, practically rampaging all the way to the Sky City.

When the King of the Sky awoke again, only the royal city remained of the entire kingdom.

The King of the Sky did not attempt to reset the game again. His control over the game was already very limited, and the last reset had already consumed a lot of his power. Moreover, the moment he awoke, he had already sensed the fall of his three clones and knew very well that some of his control had been taken away.

With this clone, we're no match for them. We should use all our game privileges to awaken the kings of various countries.

According to the normal main storyline, the holders of the four Kings cards should have all grown into great gods through the flame of civilization, and only then would all the kings awaken and start the kingdom war. However, the Holy Grail King grew too fast and became too powerful.

If this continues, the remaining three King card holders will not have enough time to grow stronger.

By the time they grew up, the Holy Grail King had already conquered the continent of Kings.

Therefore, we must advance the game's progress at any cost, so that the Grail King can experience what it's like to be the enemy of the world.

Even if doing so would result in the King's Game revoking most of the game privileges, at this moment, being forced into a desperate situation, He couldn't care less.

In a single thought, the King of the Sky has altered the main storyline through game privileges.

All the kings who were still asleep on the continent of Kings awoke at this moment. Before some could even react, several kingdoms that had been prepared joined forces to attack neighboring kingdoms.

As for the King of the Sky, he has already suffered a backlash from the King's Game for forcibly altering the main storyline.

Just like deleting a character, the King of the Sky was completely removed.

Rosen arrives at the place where the King of the Sky disappeared and begins to capture the flame of civilization of the Sky Kingdom.

Inside the flame of civilization, he discovered a special and miraculous treasure.

[Disordered Pointers: Miracle Treasure]

[Rank: Great True God]

[Miracle Attribute: Able to counteract the power of order]

[Miracle Traits: Order Destroyer, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Immortal]

Rosen now understands why the Sky King was able to awaken earlier, even though they both had access to the game.

Because disordered pointers can negate the game rules' restrictions on themselves, although they cannot completely negate them, they allow the Sky King to awaken ahead of time. As for the unique miracle ability, Orderbreaker, it can permanently destroy the game rules.

After refining the disordered pointer, Rosen began leading his legions to attack other nearby kingdoms.

Since the kings have all awakened, the difficulty of conquering a country has increased.

At first, they could destroy a country in ten days. Later, they swept through several kingdoms in succession. When the kingdoms further away received the news, they immediately stopped their internal strife and prepared to gather a large army to drive the Holy Grail Empire out of the game.

In just one day, the allied forces of 75 nations had already surrounded the Holy Grail Empire.

The reason the army marches so fast is that all the kings incorporate their legions into their domains and then march alone with the power of the great true god. The advantage of doing this is that they can travel quickly without worrying about being intercepted, but the disadvantage is that they cannot gather the energy of heaven and earth along the way.

However, for the various kingdoms, this so-called disadvantage is nothing at all.

Because all the kingdoms have been preparing for this war on the continent of kings for 23,000 years.

Therefore, each kingdom has stockpiled vast amounts of spiritual and divine crystals. Their armies do not need to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to reduce consumption; they can directly consume spiritual crystals to increase the energy density of heaven and earth.

Tens of millions of esoteric masters produced mountains composed of spiritual crystals.

Then, through war magic, these spiritual crystals are broken down into a gaseous state, and the spiritual power is allowed to disperse and merge into the surrounding environment. Due to the extremely high energy density of the surrounding environment, all superhumans can easily mobilize more energy to unleash stronger damage.

Hundreds of millions of arcane mages formed dozens of mage legions and began to cast war magic.

Dozens of massive war spells almost completely covered the Holy Grail Kingdom's territory, which had expanded to a radius of millions of miles through continuous conquest.

As these war spells fell, the Holy Grail Empire was engulfed in ice and fire for miles around, some areas turned into swamps, and others were destroyed by deadly poison. After just one wave of war spells, only the Holy Grail Imperial Capital remained of the Holy Grail Empire. It was almost a one-sided annihilation of the Holy Grail Empire, yet nearly ten of the 75 kings of the allied forces turned pale.

Because while they were besieging the Holy Grail Empire, their respective kingdoms were also attacked.

Then, in a very short time, the flame of civilization could no longer be perceived.

The Grail Emperor did not defend the Grail Empire to the death, but instead chose to abandon defense and take the initiative to attack, just like them.

"Let's join forces and raze the Holy Grail Capital to the ground..."

"Our kingdom has been destroyed, and the allied forces must compensate us for our losses..."

"We cannot give the Grail Emperor time to return and provide assistance."

The 75 kings of the coalition quickly reached a consensus and prepared to join forces to destroy the Holy Grail Empire.

This time, however, the focus was not on destruction, but rather on 75 kings preparing to join forces and storm the city.

Because destruction is purely self-destructive, this is why the area-of-effect destructive power of arcane mages far exceeds that of bloodline knights. However, the main force of legions in various countries is always composed of bloodline knights, because the purpose of war is not destruction but conquest.

If the Holy Grail Empire hadn't been so powerful, other countries wouldn't have mobilized hundreds of millions of arcane mages for a annihilation campaign.

With only the Holy Grail Empire's capital remaining, these kings saw the Holy Grail Empire as fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

However, just as all the kings rushed towards the Holy Grail Empire, the entire Holy Grail Empire collapsed into a painting.

Rosen reached out from the Window of the World and grabbed the painting, having already taken the Holy Grail Capital with him.

Then, without hesitation, they traveled through the interdimensional portal to the rear of these kingdoms and continued to destroy these kingdoms with their weak military forces.

From the very beginning, he knew that the Holy Grail Empire would be unable to defend itself once it was besieged.

Destruction is far simpler than defense. For ordinary people, a war to destroy a country might result in more casualties and greater damage to cities and houses. The territory that constitutes the existence of a country will not disappear. Post-war reconstruction and recovery from the wounds are only a matter of time.

However, the war between the kingdoms of the extraordinary is not like that; a death match between two great true gods can destroy a kingdom.

Moreover, it was a complete destruction, a destruction that pulverized the entire country into nothingness.

Even if the rules of the King's Game in the King's Continent could repair the damaged environment, the repair speed would be far slower than the destruction.

Therefore, the Holy Grail Empire was simply undefendable, and the only thing Rosen could do was to attack and exchange bases.

As long as he lives, the Holy Grail Empire will still exist, and as long as the core Holy Grail capital is preserved, the Holy Grail Empire can be rebuilt at any time.

Of course, only he could do such a thing, because losing territory meant that the king's power was greatly weakened and the flame of civilization was severely damaged. However, Rosen had a solution to all of these problems.

The flame of civilization has been integrated into the flame of miracles, so even the loss of territory will not weaken it.

As for the lack of imperial support, which caused his power to drop from the level of a Great True God, even without the support of the King Sequence, Rosen still has the means to hunt down any King head-on. This is the absolute advantage of personal power over external forces.

With his unpredictable ability to travel between realms, Rosen constantly launches surprise attacks on various kingdoms.

These kingdoms were internally weak and could not withstand the Holy Grail Empire's nationwide invasion on their own.

The war on the Holy Grail Empire's side ended in less than an hour; the allied forces destroyed the Holy Grail Empire but gained nothing.

Seeing that the Holy Grail Emperor was still attacking their kingdoms, all the kings could no longer sit still and began to send reinforcements.

However, even if the king returned with his army, the power of a single kingdom was still insufficient to stop Rosen's war of annihilation.

Without its territory, the Holy Grail Empire lost its weakness and unleashed an even more terrifying destructive force.

As a result, all the allied kingdoms could only watch helplessly as the Holy Grail Empire grew stronger with each battle.

While war may result in casualties, killing enemies will also grant you experience points from the King's Game.

Therefore, as long as the number of enemies killed far exceeds the number of casualties, one can become stronger and stronger in war.

If every war results in the loss of 800 of your own for every 1,000 enemies killed, then the chaotic war between a hundred nations will only lead to mutual destruction.

In particular, even if soldiers of the Holy Grail Empire die in battle, they can be resurrected through the Holy Grail altar.

The kingdom of the four kings, who initially possessed only the strength of true gods, managed to catch up with kingdoms that had been developing for tens of thousands of years in just over a decade. The answer lies in the resurrection at the altar and in the process of killing monsters, leveling up, and becoming stronger with each battle.

As for the other kingdoms besides the four major kingdoms, although they can kill monsters and level up, they don't have a trump card like the resurrection altar.

As more and more kingdoms were destroyed by Rosen, the remaining kingdoms began to form a second coalition.

Since destroying the Holy Grail Empire is useless, then let's destroy all of its military forces head-on.

Completely abandon defense and concentrate all forces to fight a mobile war against the Holy Grail Empire.

As for which kingdoms will be unlucky enough to be destroyed by the Holy Grail Empire during this period, that's just bad luck for those kingdoms. The other kings promised that after the Holy Grail Empire is destroyed, the kings of those destroyed kingdoms will have priority in choosing the spoils of war.

However, the allied forces soon discovered that destroying the Holy Grail Empire's military strength was no easy task.

Even if all the kings personally used their domains to carry their legions, they still needed to be able to block the Holy Grail Emperor.

The problem is that the Grail Emperor is as slippery as an eel. Every time many kings lock onto the location and chase after it, the Grail Emperor can find out early and retreat in advance. Sometimes, when the destruction of the royal city is only a little bit away, he would rather give up than take any risks.

Rosen mastered the strategy of retreating when the enemy advances, utilizing the portal and the all-knowing magic eye to its fullest extent.

Seeing that they could not stop Rosen, the allied forces, driven to the brink of desperation, began to cooperate more deeply.

All kingdoms' capital cities were opened to other kingdoms, and then portals were established.

With all the kings guarding their capitals, whenever the Grail Empire attacked a kingdom, the other kings would immediately band together through the portal to provide reinforcements. This effectively halted the Grail Empire's advance and finally gave the remaining kingdoms a chance to catch their breath.

Seeing that there was no chance to destroy the remaining 62 kingdoms, Rosen prepared to make his move on the other prey he had been eyeing for a long time.

Besides this group of kingdom allied forces, there is another group of kingdom allied forces led by the Sky King.

Both sides are tough nuts to crack, but the Sky King's side is even more difficult to conquer.

Therefore, he did not intend to provoke either side; he planned to destroy the three kingdoms of coins, scepters, and swords first.

In fact, the reason why the Sky King hasn't tried to reap the benefits in the past few days is because he is attacking these three kingdoms. Obviously, the Sky King also wants to seize the King's card. In the few days that he has been delayed with the King's allied forces, the God of Pentacles is almost unable to hold on.

Although the Kingdoms under the Sky King's command are few, there are still more than a dozen in total.

Destroying the Star Coin Kingdom, which is currently underdeveloped, would be no challenge for the Sky King.

Just like Rosen abandoned the territory of the Holy Grail Empire, the God of Pentacles was also forced to abandon the territory of the Holy Grail Kingdom. Now he has fled to the Kingdom of Wands with the royal city. Faced with the inescapable net laid by the King of the Sky, the God of Pentacles has no way to escape to the Kingdom of Wands.

The Star God, who was rapidly traversing through the mountains and forests, suddenly felt himself enveloped by a domain.

The God of Pentacles, startled, saw that it was Rosen, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was both relieved and raised again.

That Sky King is terrifyingly strong; anyone who falls into his hands will surely meet a terrible end.

However, in His view, Rosen was more terrifying than the King of the Sky, and falling into Rosen's hands was not a good thing.

"I am willing to become God's, can you please let me go?"

The God of Pentacles bowed his head and said in submission.

"I want to let you go, but I can't..."

Rosen sighed.

Through his access to the King's Game, he discovered that, apart from himself, the other Coin Gods were all too deeply bound to the King Card. The only way to strip the King Card was to kill them, so even if they surrendered, they had no chance of survival.

The God of Pentacles still wanted to struggle and resist, but Horror Paradise had already arrived through the arrival of the painting world and the fusion of the domains.

There was no chance of escape; they had already been dragged into the King's Playground and into the Black Iron City.

The God of Pentacles exhausted all his efforts and used all his trump cards to finally pass through one mysterious game scene after another. However, what awaited him was the Black Iron King, who had retained the power of the Great God. He could only fall in despair in the Black Iron City, and after his death, everything was devoured by the King's card.
