Chapter 222: Eternal Allies and Rosen's Backer
In the Red Flame City of the Eternal Continent, Rosen quietly escaped from Shentu City with the help of the data transmission of the God Hunter Magic Eye.
This was his retreat route, and he left the coordinates for teleportation here.
Inside the Void Gallery, hundreds of painters ate the delicious food carefully prepared by Li Shiqing and her kitchen team with a tasteless taste.
It's worth being happy about surviving, but it's impossible to be happy about almost dying.
He was treated as a sacrifice by the top management of the Painters Association, just to allow a new Sequence 0 to be born in the Painters Sequence.
Such a cruel reality truly made everyone realize how important strength is.
As long as they are Sequence 3 painters, they will not be the ones to be sacrificed.
"Guys, I suggest that we keep a low profile for the next few years."
Rosen raised his glass, stood up, and drank it all in one gulp.
The painters are all good at observation and guessing people's minds, so they understood what Rosen meant when they heard him say that.
There are tens of thousands of painters, but only a few hundred of them survived.
Many of those deceased painters had backgrounds. Don't expect all of their relatives to be reasonable.
Many people, while feeling grief and indignation, easily wonder why they are the ones who survived.
The murderer is already dead, and the relatives of the victims are filled with anger and have no way to vent it. It is easy for them to vent their anger on these equally innocent survivors. Although this anger may not be able to do anything to them, it is enough to cause them considerable trouble.
After the last dinner, groups of painters came to bid farewell to Rosen.
In any case, their lives were saved by Rosen.
Even if there are some people who do not value favors, they are only like that in private. They would not be stupid enough to destroy their reputation in public, so they were all very enthusiastic and expressed their sincere gratitude to Rosen, but some of them were sincere and some were insincere.
Rosen didn't care about it. He just wanted to save some people so that he wouldn't be the only one left alive.
As for how many connections you can make, it is not that important.
Because as long as you are strong enough and successful enough, and can bring benefits to the people around you, everyone around you will be your friends and good people.
On the other hand, if you are not strong enough, you will only bring trouble to the people around you, and your best friend may become a stranger who wants to kill you.
After seeing off the last few divine painters, Rosen immediately left Red Flame City via data transmission.
However, when his eyes fell on Annika in the void gallery, Rosen felt a headache.
This woman is obsessed with him, but her true identity is Daisy, who may take his life at any time. If he is caught by Damon's parents once, he will be dead. Not every place can make Sequence 0 give in like Shentu City.
Now that Annika couldn't be driven away, he was considering letting Damon go.
However, it is a bit difficult to let him go because under the torture of the Void God Realm, Damon has become his crazy believer. In this case, letting Damon go back may not only fail to alleviate the hatred but will instead intensify the hatred.
After considering it, Rosen decided to confront Annika, mainly because he didn't want to continue acting with Daisy.
In the studio of the Void Gallery, Annika immediately pounced on Rosen when she saw him appear.
What was waiting for her was the muzzle of the God-Slaying Crossbow. The terrifying energy accumulated in the barrel proved that this was no joke.
"What do you mean?"
Annika asked, shaking with anger and almost crying.
"Should I call you Annika or Daisy?"
Rosen asked as he sat on the couch across from Annika.
Annika was puzzled and didn't understand why Rosen thought her name would be Daisy.
The next moment, Annika turned into Daisy. She looked at Rosen in surprise. She didn't expect that he had remained awake from beginning to end. He must have known her true identity from the beginning. The methods mastered by this man were a little too powerful for a Sequence 4 level.
"I'm Annika and I'm Daisy..."
Daisy gave an answer that surprised Rosen very much.
The psychologist played too hard back then, and ended up being punished by many true gods.
In fact, it was not just the true gods of alien races who did not let psychologists go. Even the true gods of humans could not tolerate psychologists.
Because the psychologist's personality clones not only infiltrated alien races, but also infiltrated the world government.
However, the centipede is still alive. Those psychologists who have split a large number of second personalities are either dead or imprisoned. But the world government did not kill all the psychologists who have split a small number of second personalities.
Anyway, since then, psychologists have lost a lot of their ability to split off second personalities.
As for the small amount of splitting, the threat level is actually not as great as the actor sequence.
Although Daisy survived, she and her husband, Chinon Touré, completely fell out.
Because it was Chinon who betrayed Daisy, and Damon was born during that time, so Daisy naturally hated Damon because of him. So Daisy didn't care about Damon's life or death at all. In fact, even Chinon cared about his own face, not Damon's life or death.
In a sense, Damon is actually quite miserable in terms of family relationships.
Among Daisy's many secondary personalities, Annika is the most special one.
When the psychologists were purged, Daisy was not absolutely sure that she could survive, so she did something to escape. The main personality was reincarnated, and the second personality took control of the original body. In this way, even if the second personality was killed, the main personality could survive.
If Daisy had known that she could escape the purge in the end, she would definitely not have done such a thing that put priorities before priorities.
But the mistake had been made, and all Daisy could do was to make amends.
She didn't want to restore her identity to Sequence 1 as Annika, because she knew too well how difficult it was to become Sequence 1, so Daisy's main personality began to use various means to try to regain control of her second personality and take back her body.
However, in this process, due to various accidents, Annika was born.
Strictly speaking, Annika is Daisy's third personality.
As for why Annika mistakenly believed that she and him were childhood sweethearts, Daisy guessed that her second personality had teamed up with Chinon Touré. As far as she knew, Chinon had a Novelist Sequence 1 Source Extraordinary Artifact in his hands.
With the power of a novelist combined with that of a historian, it was not difficult to partially tamper with personal history.
The reason why Rosen could make Chinon helpless was because of his strong hiding ability. But as long as he and Annika were inseparable, it would be difficult to hide.
Daisy's second personality could directly lock the specific locations of the main personality and the third personality.
The main personality was not dealt with directly, but some restrictions were imposed when Daisy split her second personality. The main personality could kill the secondary personality, but the secondary personality could not even harm the main personality.
So Daisy's second personality found Chinon to join forces. As long as she could seize the opportunity and locate Rosen through Annika, she could kill two birds with one stone. Chinon could deal with Rosen and help Daisy's second personality deal with the main personality and Annika.
Back then in Annika's studio, Daisy's main personality did want to kill Rosen for a moment. With some special means, Annika could get rid of the influence of novelists and historians' tampering with personal history. But at the last moment, Daisy's main personality gave up.
Because she suddenly realized that with her and Annika's current strength, it would be too difficult to fight against the combination of the second personality and Chinon.
It would be better to make good use of the fake relationship between Annika and Rosen, and use Rosen's ability to hide so well that even Chinon can't find him, to buy herself time to grow. This is the best choice for Daisy at this stage.
"How do you prove that what you confessed is true?" Rosen asked the final question. "Also, why should I trust you? You gave up your husband, son, and even yourself. Don't tell me that I really slept with you. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe that."
"I have a miraculous treasure. You will definitely feel relieved after seeing it..." Daisy said as she took out a bracelet-shaped concentric lock and projected its attributes into the air using spiritual power.
[Lucky Love Lock: Miracle Treasure]
[Level: Sequence 1]
[Miracle attribute: The agreement reached through the Miracle Heart Lock, the luck of those who violate it will be reset to zero forever]
[Miracle attributes: Eternal love, Lucky shackles, Heaven follows man's wishes, Unique in the world, Eternal and immortal]
"Nice one..." Rosen said with red eyes.
"If you like it, I can give it to you, but there is one condition," Daisy said as she stood up and sat in Rosen's arms.
"Explain!" Rosen said while biting Daisy's ear.
"I want you to be with me forever..." Daisy said as she handed the lucky love lock to Rosen.
Rosen took out the miracle pocket and put the lucky lock into it, and soon more detailed properties were identified.
Eternal bond, this is a stronger method than basic attributes. If the agreement reached through basic attributes is true, in the end, it will only result in your luck being wiped out and you being unlucky to death.
Then, being together forever means that both parties will die together if the contract is violated. Daisy's condition is very simple: never betray her at any time, not in any sense of the word, and Daisy cannot betray him in return.
This was not difficult for Rosen to accept. If Daisy hadn't betrayed him, he would not have betrayed Daisy for no reason.
It's just that some things can't be proven by words, and being together forever can make them truly trust each other.
"I agree," Rosen said affirmatively.
Daisy immediately activated the miracle property to become together forever, and the two sides reached an agreement not to betray each other.
In order to reassure Rosen, she took off the lucky lock and transferred control to Rosen.
Originally, Rosen was unable to refine the Sequence 1 miracle treasure, but this treasure was very special. It could make Rosen and Daisy one with each other through the Eternal Bond. Daisy refined the Miracle Heart-to-Heart Lock, which was equivalent to Rosen also refining the Miracle Heart-to-Heart Lock.
Now the two of them were on the same boat, and the miracle love lock was the token that Daisy handed over.
Rosen looked at Daisy, whose face was full of expectation, and took out the ecological planetarium and handed it to Daisy.
Although the celestial predictions were very powerful and the ecological planetarium was not inferior to the lucky lock, to be honest, the celestial predictions were too expensive, and the predictions themselves might be interfered with by the mysterious study. It was better to give them to Daisy, a wealthy woman with a large fortune.
Anyway, would Daisy refuse to let him use the eco-planetary if the need arose?
Daisy couldn't wait to refine the ecological planetarium, and Rosen was also getting familiar with the power of the Lucky Concentric Lock.
Eternal love meant never betraying each other, and lucky shackles meant locking up one's own luck for a short period of time.
It would be a waste to exchange these two miraculous properties for the ecological planetarium. But coupled with the unique miracle feature of God's will, Rosen thought he had made a big profit.
Because he consumed his own luck, he could achieve his wish.
It was equivalent to burning the luck in a short period of time, and then converting all the luck into luck, so that you could get whatever you wanted. If it were not for the fact that fate could only be achieved by permanently consuming the innate luck, Daisy might not have been willing to hand over the Miracle Concentric Lock.
However, in the hands of Rosen, who could transform acquired luck into innate luck, the value of "God's Wish" was immeasurable.
Similarly, Daisy thought she had made a significant gain. The Miracle Love Lock's "Heaven's Wish Comes True" was indeed powerful, but it consumed too much of one's innate luck. Although there were ways to increase innate luck, the difficulty and cost were enormous.
On the other hand, the ecological planetarium only required a large amount of spiritual crystals to function. Daisy never expected that Rosen would return a gift of equal value after receiving the Miracle Love Lock. To her surprise, Rosen's background was even more extraordinary than she had imagined, which made her more convinced that her choice was correct.
As long as they stayed together and worked sincerely, it was only a matter of time before they returned to Sequence 1, or even ascended to Sequence 0.
…
On Paradise Island in the chaotic sea, Rosen took Daisy back to his chairman's office through data transmission.
Daisy was slightly shocked by the fact that they had crossed the endless distance so silently. Under the targeting of Chinon and her second personality, Rosen had not only avoided capture but had also come to the chaotic sea, controlling Paradise Pharmaceuticals in recent years. Upon reflection, this place truly was ideal. Two true gods here restrained each other, and the Lighthouse of Chaos suppressed this world. Even a true god would find it difficult to influence this place.
As they were at Sequence 4, they wouldn't attract the attention of a true god. This location left her and Rosen ample room to grow, and if they needed to leave, they could use Rosen's method of crossing the endless void.
"It's safe enough here; we can get down to business," Rosen said, pressing Daisy onto the desk from behind.
In the past, he had only communicated with Annika emotionally, never directly with Daisy. It wasn't enough to be united forever on a spiritual level; they needed to be united physically as well, to truly be inseparable.
Over the following days, Rosen and Daisy developed a deep connection. Annika, who obeyed him in everything, and Daisy, who was competitive and never admitted defeat. Although they were essentially the same person, their different personalities and appearances gave Rosen completely different feelings.
However, happy times were always short-lived. The competition among the three Sequence 1 painters in Shentu City for the Painter Sequence Ancient Tree had reached its most critical moment. If nothing unexpected occurred, a new Sequence 0 would be born in the Painter Sequence soon.
Although Rosen himself was busy studying horse riding, his self-portrait clone was always keeping an eye on Shentu City. Of the three Sequence 1 painters, the last one who might become Sequence 0 was Ole Rudolf. As for Annika's teacher, Sonya Golden, she was essentially doomed to be eliminated.
However, Ole's advancement to Sequence 0 wasn't in Rosen's interest, so he planned to help Sonya advance to Sequence 0.
To prevent Ole from advancing, all Rosen needed to do was use the Fate Eraser to erase some of Ole's luck, thereby reducing his chances of advancement. As for helping Sonya advance, that required the help of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Rosen had planted the seeds of the seven deadly sins in the bodies of tens of thousands of painters and the extraordinary people under their command. Later, all the painters were forced to kill each other. Almost all the painters and subordinates became extraordinary. With the tragic deaths of hundreds of billions of subjects, the power of the seven deadly sins grew stronger than ever before.
Rosen didn't take this power back to the miracle painting Demon God Appearance but integrated the demon seed into the Painter Sequence Ancient Tree. If the Painter Sequence Ancient Tree had an owner, it would be easy to expel the seven deadly sins from it. But now, it was ownerless, and unless he urged the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds to harm the Painter Sequence Ancient Tree, it wouldn't expel the demon seeds.
Rosen only needed to hand over control of the Seven Deadly Sins to Sonya, which would certainly increase her chances of advancing to Sequence 0.
"Annika, contact your teacher…" Rosen pulled Annika out from under the quilt and told her his plan.
Annika's heart was now filled with Rosen, and she immediately sent her spirit messenger to contact her dear teacher.
A few hours later, Sonya, who hadn't given up completely in Shentu City, received a message from Annika.
At first, Sonya's expression was filled with joy, but it quickly turned to shock and anger. She knew Annika's true origins. Daisy's main personality was one of the few friends she could trust. Daisy had given her immense help during her growth, and she had also assisted Annika when Daisy was in trouble.
Sonya never expected to face such a choice at this time. If she agreed to work with Rosen using the Lucky Love Lock, Rosen would use the Seven Deadly Sins to help her control the Painter Sequence Ancient Tree. If she refused, Rosen would not help her at such a high cost.
The opportunity to advance to Sequence 0 was right before her. After weighing the pros and cons, Sonya nodded to Annika's spirit world messenger.
The spirit world messenger projected the Lucky Love Lock, and Sonya integrated it into her divine origin without hesitation.
The Painter Sequence Ancient Tree, which had always resisted Sonya's control, suddenly weakened its resistance. Ole, who was about to control the tree, began to be rejected by it. Although there was still a gap between them, the difference was small since they were both at the Sequence 1 limit.
With this shift, Sonya no longer faced any obstacle in advancing to Sequence 0.
Soon, the entire Eternal Continent saw Sonya lift the Kingdom of God, becoming a true god and the new pillar of the Painter Sequence.
As for the other two Sequence 1 painters who failed to be promoted, they were both severely injured but not dead.
Rosen, far away in the chaotic sea, felt distressed as his luck was nearly exhausted after using the Destiny Eraser. Fortunately, due to his special agreement with Sonya, although his innate luck dropped to Sequence 9, his acquired luck rose back to Sequence 1 after being consumed.
After the transformation of the miracle flame, Rosen's innate and acquired luck stabilized at Sequence 2. It would take at most a few decades for Sonya to fully and stably promote to Sequence 0, at which point her power would surge.
By then, Rosen would have a backer who could allow him to walk with dignity.
