Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 55 Hidden Story Unlocked (Please Read On)
Chapter 55

Kaman Morton looked at his followers as they all arrived, then eagerly turned to his hunter and assassin followers.

"This is our harvest..."

The three hunters and two assassins nervously handed over the intelligence they had gathered to Kaman.

Kaman quickly skimmed through the information, and his anxiety gradually subsided.

According to the original plan, they would release a virus specifically targeting the Gray Ratmen in Spiral Harbor, thereby helping the Pirate Alliance defeat the Gray Ratmen of Spiral Harbor, forcing them into a desperate situation and compelling them to engage in a hidden storyline outside of the Spirit Realm storyline.

However, before they could even make a move, hundreds of thousands of the Gray Ratmen had already mysteriously died.

This unexpected turn of events directly disrupted their plans, forcing them to change course. They first helped the Gray Ratmen capture a large number of pirates from the Pirate Alliance, then helped the Pirate Alliance defeat the Gray Ratmen, and finally forced the Gray Ratmen to unfold a hidden storyline outside of the Spirit Realm storyline.

As a result, the troublemakers in the shadows struck again, this time stealing a large amount of supplies from the Gray Ratmen.

Although the revised plan was not completely destroyed, it was affected to some extent.

If he continues to let the troublemaker cause trouble, his operation, which he has undertaken at great cost, will be a complete failure, and his status within the family will be greatly reduced as a result. It seems that he must find this troublemaker no matter what.

However, several days passed and they still couldn't find any trace of the troublemaker.

“Baron Carman, I have an idea.”

"After considering the gains and losses," said the wizard Fald, Sequence 7.

"Come and tell me."

Kaman urged expectantly.

"We can leak the news and get the troublemakers to help us unlock the hidden storyline."

"Fald said seriously."

Kaman's first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief, because he had invested so much in that hidden storyline, why should it attract thousands of competitors if it were publicized? But then he thought that if things continued like this, the hidden storyline would never be unlocked and he would get nothing.

Therefore, Falder's suggestion makes a lot of sense; the gamble is on whether he can reap the greatest rewards once the information about the hidden plot spreads.

"You must pass on the message."

Kaman gave orders to his followers in the Hunter and Assassin sequences.

The assassins spread information very quickly, and soon the many human superhumans lurking in Spiral Harbor knew about the hidden plot.

On the contrary, Rosen, the troublemaker whom Kaman hated to the core, had no idea that the news had spread like wildfire outside.

Although the Spirit Realm storyline has not yet progressed to the Pirate Alliance's landing, many human superhumans are still in hiding.

But this doesn't mean that the superhumans have done nothing these days.

They mingled among hundreds of thousands of gray ratmen, and cutting corners when transporting supplies to the front lines was standard practice.

Now, all these resources that were withheld have been bought up by more than a dozen Sequence 7 humans working together.

Even if the hidden storyline is unlocked, Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 won't get a share of the profits. Therefore, only Sequence 7 truly wants to unlock the hidden storyline; this investment is also the ticket to enter the hidden storyline once it's unlocked.

With a large amount of resources gathered together, the two Sequence 7 wizards began to set up a large-scale spiritual awakening ritual.

Awakening one's spirituality is inherently dangerous. Humans who attempt to set up a single spiritual awakening ritual have a very high chance of failure. However, as long as the ritual is not performed using fake materials, there is generally no danger to one's life even if it fails.

However, the large-scale spiritual awakening ceremony that envelops the entire Spiral Harbor offers far less security.

Basically, failure to awaken means certain death. This is why such large-scale spiritual awakening ceremonies are prohibited in the human world. They were first invented before the establishment of the World Government, during the most intense period of the struggle for survival between humans and other races.

After the establishment of the World Government, large-scale spiritual awakening ceremonies were completely relegated to the exclusive use of artificial supernatural beings.

As the grand spiritual awakening ceremony concluded, the power of spiritual awakening began to envelop the entire Spiral Harbor, forcibly awakening the spirituality of all the ordinary gray ratmen who had not yet awakened.

The gray ratmen, who originally numbered only two hundred thousand, began to die in droves, with less than five thousand surviving.

However, all the surviving gray ratmen automatically gained the power of the extraordinary sequence from their bloodline and became elite gray ratmen. This directly led to a surge in the overall combat power of the gray ratmen. But at this moment, a second large-scale witchcraft ritual was activated simultaneously.

This was a cursed ritual that enveloped Spiral Harbor, and all the Grey Ratmen were afflicted with a maddening curse at that moment.

The veteran elite gray ratmen were alright, but the newly formed elite gray ratmen, faced with the rampage curse, lost their minds and attacked indiscriminately. This extraordinary action by the humans directly pushed the gray ratmen of Spiral Harbor to the brink of despair.

Deep underground in Spiral Harbor, dozens of Sequence 7 Gray Rat leaders gathered together for a heated debate.

Currently, only a few thousand Gray Ratmen remain alive in Spiral Harbor. Although all of them have awakened their spirituality and obtained extraordinary sequences, more than five thousand of them have lost their minds. If this cannot be stopped, the remaining Gray Ratmen will soon kill each other to the last few.

Some of the gray ratmen suggested doing everything they could to rescue them, while others chose to fight to the death.

The rescue plans were quickly rejected after various attempts, leaving the Gray Ratmen with only one option left: to fight to the death.

All the Gray Ratman leaders immediately went to a temple at the deepest part of Spiral Harbor, where the Gray Ratman's ancestor was enshrined. At his peak, the Gray Ratman's ancestor was a powerful being of Sequence 3, and even after his fall, his spirit remained intact and continued to protect the Gray Ratman race.

However, the ancestor's spirit is dormant in the spirit world, and sufficient offerings are required to awaken the ancestor and summon his power.

These offerings could be hundreds of thousands of ordinary gray ratmen, or thousands of elite gray ratmen.

The latter was even more effective as a sacrifice. After dozens of Gray Rat leaders had worshipped their Gray Rat ancestors, they immediately picked up some sacrificial vessels that had been offered for many years from under the statue and began to use these vessels to slaughter the out-of-control elite Gray Rat people.

After all the elite gray ratmen were killed, their life force and soul were extracted by the sacrificial vessel and transferred to the idol.

The once lifeless statues began to come alive little by little, drawing in the sleeping spirit of the Gray Ratman progenitor deep within the spirit realm. Although it was not enough to bring down the Gray Ratman progenitor's full power, even a portion of it would be enough to resolve the current predicament of Spiral Harbor.

However, an unexpected result occurred: the power that the Gray Ratman Ancestor descended upon the statue was only Sequence 7.

The sacrifice of several thousand elite Gray Ratmen resulted in the acquisition of the power of the Progenitor's Descent Sequence 7.

All the gray rat leaders were dumbfounded and felt endless despair. In their view, it was clear that the ancestor had abandoned them. Otherwise, given the quality of this sacrifice, how could the ancestor have sent down such a weak power?

P.S.: The fate of the third recommendation will depend on this week, please read on.
