Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

Jiang Fan spent a [Key of History] to open the treasure chest he had previously taken from Chang Sheng, but what he found inside was somewhat unexpected.

"Unawakened Ding Sheng Cake" (Consumable Item)

"Rank: Very common (green), Configuration requirements: None (can be consumed by both the player and the game character)."

"Effect:

Swift Wind: After consuming this item, the game character will gain the essence of speed from the remaining spirit of the general, permanently acquiring one "Speed ​​Attribute Fragment". (Collecting three fragments will grant a minor tier boost to the Speed ​​attribute, greatly enhancing the character's agility on the battlefield.)

Victory in One Battle: The surge in blood sugar and the resonance of willpower caused by sweets significantly accelerate the character's neural reaction speed. Within 30 minutes after consumption, the "attack pre-animation" and "dodge post-animation" of all the character's skills are reduced by 10%.

"Comment: The name of undefeated requires bravery to bear, and a cowardly soul is only fit to disgust the sequence. When he died a violent death, the general's remaining will did not even bother to leave behind a weapon, but turned into this sweet pink glutinous rice cake, as a reward for those who truly dare to draw their swords."

Chang Sheng did not gain the sequence recognition that resided on him, which left behind a piece of glutinous rice cake after negating the death effect of the pumpkin head.

The contents of the treasure chests are quite different. What Han Yi obtained were rare items, but what Chang Sheng obtained became consumables.

Jiang Fan didn't go back to his dorm tonight, but instead went back to his aunt's apartment.

However, he was embarrassed to find that there was only one bed in the apartment. Fortunately, his aunt probably hadn't slept in it, so he could just switch to another bed tonight.

Jiang Fan lay in bed, listening to the chains that bound him to the third act break.

The breaking of the chains once again brought out the girl's character design, but this time her appearance stirred up a wave of emotions in Jiang Fan's heart.

Gold and silver danced in the air, an exquisite crown was placed on the woman's head, she held a sword that symbolized power in her hand, and beneath her feet was a mountain of corpses. Countless followers behind her raised their guns and swords, looking at Rias with fanaticism and excitement.

She stood there, like a true queen.

Is this not Rias who has become a game character, nor is it her past self, but a future without the interference of game consoles?

Jiang Fan couldn't help but have this guess, because Rias in the illustration looked more mature in terms of facial features than she does now, and her eyes no longer held that innocent yearning for redemption.

Her eyes held a red dragon capable of conquering the world, proud and cold, indifferent to everything yet cherishing everything.

Seemingly sensing that someone was watching her, Wang raised the blade in her hand, and the red-gold cracks tore the screen apart. Then, the pale gray sword bone rose up in the center of the screen, blocking those ruby-like eyes.

Act III, "The Pale Pilgrimage," has begun.

The sword bone broke, revealing the complete picture.

Rias appeared on a brightly lit street, carrying the daily necessities and vegetables she had just bought, as she walked out of the convenience store behind her.

The scene also includes passersby with sick expressions floating above their heads, walking silently down the street.

There was no teleportation this time?

The first act takes place in a museum, while the second act takes place in Kyuhamine, both locations being quite far from Rias's location.

The stage for the third act is the entire city of Tianhai, so there's no need for him to appear again since he's already there.

[Main Quest 1: Seize the mythical sequence "Pale Knight," who will grant your wish to meet the myth.]

[Main Quest 2: Kill the humans possessed by "Charon"]

[Main Mission 3: If the total number of deaths in the city exceeds one million, Act 3 will be considered a failure.]

Side Quest 1: Slay the Headless Horseman of the Bradford House

Side Quest 2: Defeat the Anomaly "Dance of Death"

The Pale Knight will begin his procession on his grey horse; please follow him.

Five tasks... more than expected.

In particular, the cost of the third main mission, with more than a million deaths, is something that Tianhai cannot accept under any circumstances. It cannot be explained by some kind of bizarre resurrection; the whole world will probably undergo a huge change because of it.

Jiang Fan controlled Rias, gently pushing the joystick to make her walk on foot through the streets.

The location at the beginning of each scene has its own significance; perhaps you'll encounter something there.

The Pale Knight was not shown in the scene; instead, the edges of the screen were covered with a thick layer of gray, signifying the unusual situation.

The top of the screen displays the number of deaths since the game started, which is currently "0000000".

After wandering around for a few minutes, Jiang Fan found that the death toll had not changed, which reassured him.

It seems this isn't a race against death, where the number of deaths represents game time, and the game character needs to complete the above tasks within a limited time.

Instead, there are several trigger points. If you don't resolve these trigger points, the death toll will surge.

This would give him the opportunity to complete the game with minimal casualties.

Jiang Fan had walked around the streets several times before finally discovering an unusual place.

A child was squatting outside the convenience store, hugging her knees and crying, but the people around her seemed not to see her and no one paid any attention to her.

He controlled Rias to walk forward and press Y, and sure enough, they could interact.

The child slightly raised its head, but had no facial features. Jiang Fan was about to attack the child when he discovered that the attack button had disappeared.

How is that possible? Does this strange creature mean it can't be approached and must be attacked from a distance using battle aura? This design makes no sense at all.

But then the faceless child did not attack Rias; instead, he stretched out his arm and showed her a path.

"Go...there."

A gray arrow then appeared on the screen, and the faceless child lowered its head again, unable to interact.

Are you going?

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, looking at the gray area at the edge of the screen, but still controlled Rias to walk in the direction indicated by the arrow.

He had a strange feeling that the third act would be Rias's show.

As they reached the end of the arrow, a boatman wearing a cloak suddenly appeared. Just as he was about to raise his sickle, the whole scene began to reverse.

Heaven and earth switched places; the ground where Rias stood flipped into the sky, and gravity pulled her down.

With a nimble turn, the girl landed steadily on the ground.

Now, it's not just the edges of the screen that are gray; all the buildings in the entire scene are dilapidated, some even weathered into countless empty gray-white nests, as if the apocalypse had arrived a thousand years ago.

But the boatman holding the sickle had disappeared.

Rias has entered the "Barrier of Death".

This is where the "Pale Knight" descended, the world precisely divided in two, reality both on the surface and beneath.

And in the sky, a figure that seems to pull the world's center of gravity is slowly descending.

His body towered like a withered tree of the world, covered in heavy armor of pale bones and cold, hard ashes, with a decaying cloak that stretched behind him, connecting with the sky behind him.

Such a massive knight naturally rode a mythical beast of equally exaggerated proportions—a gigantic gray horse composed of bones, rotting flesh, and pale ghost fire, the symbol of death in the Fourth Seal.

Even just from the game visuals, Jiang Fan could feel the absolute oppression of the impending apocalypse.

When the fourth seal was opened, I heard the fourth living creature say, “Come!”

I looked, and there before me was a grey horse, and riding it was named Death, and Hades followed it. And they were given power to kill a quarter of the earth with the sword, with famine, with plague, and with wild beasts.

The Greek words were read aloud as narration, and Jiang Fan and Lias both understood their meaning.

This is the true form of the Pale Knight.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but twitch his Adam's apple. The Pale Knight occupied a third of the entire game console screen, and its oppressive and impactful presence was indeed too strong.

Fortunately, he was separated from Him by a game screen and there was a time difference. Unless the Pale Knight could cross time and space to arrest Him, Jiang Fan was at ease.

After all, the Pale Knight isn't even in the top tier in the entire mythology; it's only considered a late-tier T2. It's easily surpassed by characters like Thanatos from Greek mythology, Hela from Norse mythology, Yama from India, and Ereshkigal from Mesopotamia.

However, in the current v0.01 version, the Pale Knight is undoubtedly the strongest.

The massive gray knight raised his finger toward Rias, and the gray at the edge of the screen suddenly solidified.

Death has bestowed "Domination" upon "Rias". Players can now see the exact coordinates of all Sequencers in Tianhai City. Hunt them to your heart's content. Every death of a Sequencer will become a rose scattered on your path to coronation.

When the number of deaths in the Tier 3 sequence reaches 7, the Pale Knight will unleash a miracle, granting your wish.

A small map suddenly appeared on the screen, and it was densely marked with dots of different colors: red for level 3, yellow for level 2, and green for level 1.

He deliberately lured all the Sequencers in the world here in order to hunt them down and thus truly complete the resurrection.

Jiang Fan was not surprised by this result, or rather, he thought so too.

It seems the third act is about becoming a lone wolf who reaps the rewards.

...

"That Morrison guy actually spread the word that the Pale Knight can grant wishes."

A red-haired woman said indignantly, "The speed at which the Boundless Covenant spreads information is just too fast."

"It seems he has no intention of giving up. That's fine too. Next time we meet, I can kill him with my own hands."

Richard leaned against the doorframe, a gentle breeze ruffling his short, blond hair.

Given Morrison's usual style, he wouldn't normally break ties with the Tribunal.

Morrison was mostly just a shrewd businessman.

What bad luck did we offend him this time that made him so arbitrary in continuing his demonic ritual?

"There are only two of us this time. It wouldn't be good to clash with a third-tier Mephisto. Besides, Xia Kingdom definitely knows about our arrival. The people from Tai'a might already be on their way to Tianhai City."

The red-haired woman spoke with a slight hesitation.

"Don't worry, upholding the code of chivalry is something we must maintain, no matter where we are."

Richard shook his head; he had absolute confidence in his abilities.

There is only one sequence in this world that can defeat him, and that is the one that has never appeared before: King Arthur.

"Alright, I secretly put the [Iron Maiden of Forbidden Magic] into the seal. We're not afraid if a fight really breaks out."

The red-haired woman had emerald green eyes, a classic Celtic trait. She clenched her fist and raised it high.

"Your sequence is the rarest in the [Court of Judges], so don't worry too much about these things, just leave them to me."

Richard sighed softly.

"I know, Lord Lionheart, you always have to be at the forefront in everything."

The red-haired woman waved her hand.

"So what do we do next?"

"We found the Pale Knight. His signs of resurrection are very strong. It is estimated that a part of him will manifest tonight."

Before Richard could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up at the window.

"They've arrived."

The clouds in the sky seemed to be consciously trying to escape, but eventually they were fixed in the night sky, forming a giant skull.

The planes that were originally flying in the air also mysteriously froze in mid-air.

A huge shadow appeared over the city of Tianhai, and the pale knight gradually solidified amidst the sound of hooves.

"Now no one can get in, and no one can get out."

Richard was reminded of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

They are now as if trapped in this giant cage, from which only the living can escape.

"It seems the situation is a little worse than we anticipated."

Richard squinted.

"It's much worse."

The red-haired woman pushed up her glasses.

"It descended from a port on the outskirts of Tianhai City, but it's still moving. What does it want to do?"

"I'll go check first. If I encounter a strong enemy, please throw that relic to me in time."

Richard pushed open the balcony window, and the golden light of his armor flashed.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Richard."

Inside the office building of the Ninth and Eleventh Bureaus of Tianhai City.

Xiao Ci looked at the red dots that suddenly appeared on the detection device, and his mood became very heavy.

"I'm going to Jin'an Port. You arrange for all other combat specialists to enter the nearby streets to evacuate the masses. If necessary, you can request missile strikes from the military region."

Firearms remain the most powerful means of attack for modern humans, but that inevitably results in heavy losses for both sides.

This is, after all, our own territory.

Xu Jingtian nodded and was about to turn around.

But then they discovered that there was suddenly a figure at the door.

The man was wearing a trench coat and had a stubble beard, looking like he had just finished drinking with friends, exuding the air of a melancholic and handsome middle-aged man.

"Director Xiao, I'll go to Jin'an Port."

The man's appearance clearly surprised and relaxed Xiao Ci.

"Who is this?"

Xu Jingtian did not know this person.

"Lu Feng, a former member of the [Tai'a] team, is also the only third-tier [Xin Qiji] in the Xia Kingdom."

The key point is that this person also possesses a terrifying sealed relic, and it was precisely to seal this relic that the other party withdrew from [Tai'a].

That tyrant's blade, named "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow".
