Chapter 259
But that's far from enough.
Looking at the spider demons of the Dreamland, Ryan smiled kindly.
Half an hour.
Ryan walked out of the Dreamland and turned into a dark alley.
"That's enough. This lust, combined with the enhancement effect of the Pot of Greed, and the power of the God of Desire... hehe~ Murder and arson are against the natural order. Let's all have some fun and enjoy ourselves!"
After saying that, Ryan placed his hand on the Pot of Greed, and as the power of the God of Desire surged into it, the Pot of Greed exploded in an instant!
Bang!!!
A loud bang.
In an instant, pink filled the air, and gold covered the ground!

Chapter 157 Brother, you smell so good! [10,000 views]
Tonight, City of Sin seems a little different.
The women of the dreamland suddenly awakened to the meaninglessness of their lives and the depravity of desire, so they collectively resigned and went home to start a new life.
Unable to release their energy, the poets began to wander through the city, their thoughts drifting away with the invisible mist that permeated the streets and alleys, gradually becoming controlled by their emotions and Servant of Desire.
Among the extraordinary professions that traverse the path of desire, there are many types that trigger emotional outbursts. These Supernatural Being can often unleash the 'emotions' hidden deep within a person's heart with just a word or an unintentional action.
Some of these emotions are evil, some are pure desire, and some may even be well-intentioned, but at least in this City of Sin, there is almost no room for good intentions to play a role.
Where there is no goodwill, there is only evil!
However, Ryan did not intend to let those people kill and set fires. Desire is the root of human nature, and the effect of the Pot of Greed is to make this root erupt uncontrollably, erupt, and erupt with all its might!
"Hmm? Have you guys noticed anything's wrong?"
Within the city, some people felt the spread of this force.
The perception of Supernatural Being is always far superior to that of ordinary people. This perception of extraordinary power is generally called 'spirituality'. All things have a spirit, but only those whose spirituality reaches a certain level are qualified to become Supernatural Being.
"Something's not right? When has this city ever been right? I'd believe you even if you told me the Four Great Families were going to hold Outer Gods sacrifice tomorrow."
"It's still not right. Haven't you noticed? There's a force influencing me."
"So this is why you pitched a tent for me? Oh, Blood God, if it weren't for our friendship, I would have smashed your head with my cane!"
"Wait, bro, you smell amazing."
"???"
Supernatural Being are not so common. Unless they are part of an organization, most of the time it is a situation where extraordinary individuals walk alongside ordinary people.
Some Supernatural Being can sense the power of the Pot of Greed, while some ordinary people cannot, but because their 'lust' is very low, they are not greatly affected at first. The interweaving of different situations gives rise to different scenes, which then quietly unfold within the City of Desire, like flowers blooming in the dark night.
The city-state had a population of over 500,000. As the power of the Pot of Greed completely enveloped the city, things began to go wrong, both openly and covertly.
Bars, hotels, and other places like Dreamland are already influenced by emotions. The power of lust has barely taken effect when couples in each room are already eagerly engaging in passionate lovemaking.
Then slowly, on the streets and alleys, one person, ten people, thousands and thousands of people, the people living in this city are inherently prone to releasing their emotions and doing impulsive things, 'villains'. Sometimes you can even see the propaganda of the gods who resist Janus in broad daylight - those are of course the propaganda of the Four Great Outer Gods.
Amidst the intertwining of four beliefs—war, treachery, desire, and chaos—the believers in desire were the first to erupt.
They started randomly interacting with the opposite sex around them. Those who had the opportunity entered the room, those who didn't started on the spot, and those who couldn't find anyone had to take care of themselves. And... in some places, all you could see were muscular men, with bottles piled up all over the table. When they were drinking and eating heartily, where were they going to find a pink-clad lady?
Then, things started to get strange.
"Bro, you smell amazing!"
"Let me see!"
"Jack, what are you doing?!"
On the other side.
On Mostert Tower, Kachina is interrogating members of the Four Great Families, searching for clues about the dwarves.
Although the Four Great Families obediently came over because of her status Empress, they knew nothing about the so-called clues about the dwarves. Kachina was unsure whether they genuinely didn't know or were just trying to fool her.
These people take advantage of the special location of the City of Desire to act hypocritically. If it weren't for the need to find clues about the dwarves, she wouldn't bother to contact them.
However, since she was already here, and the war between Arcadia and the Northern Federation had already begun, there was no need for the so-called 'buffer zone' of the City of Sin to exist. She planned to start from here and flatten this city-state that bred sin once the main force of Arcadia arrived.
Just then, Kachina sensed a strange power emerging in the air.
"Um?"
She walked to the edge of the tower and looked down. Below this huge, mysterious tower, the entire city was shrouded in an abyss, looking dark and deep, like a giant whirlpool.
"The Power of Desire?" Kachina recognized it at a glance. "Albert, what's the Heffet Family up to now?"
Albert, standing behind, was taken aback. "Your Empress, what do you mean?"
"Let's take a look below."
Albert and the others came over to take a look.
"What... what's going on?"
"It is the power of the God of Desire!"
"Albert, is your Heffert Family holding a sacrificial ceremony?!"
"To use the entire City of Sin as a sacrificial site, how despicable!"
The other three families, each dressed in different blue and black aristocratic attire, glared angrily at Albert.
"I..." Albert was on the verge of tears, "I don't know what happened either."
"Bullshit! Such a powerful Power of Desire, capable of covering the entire city-state, who else but you could do that?"
Albert remained silent in the face of criticism.
If it were him, he would have doubts too.
The Heffert Family has worshipped the God of Desire for hundreds of years, and has accumulated a lot of power of the grace of desire within the family. It wouldn't be difficult for them to do this, but... he really didn't do it!
"Oh no, their power is coming!"
One person's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, the entire City of Sin, viewed from above, resembled a giant abyss, threatening to swallow everyone whole.
Kachina sensed something was wrong.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a golden light appearing in them, and after a moment she let out a soft exclamation.
"Chaos?"
"It's a plague!"
Kachina was taken aback.
"Rider!"
Wow!
Kachina's figure flashed, transforming into a golden ray of light as she flew down.
She couldn't care whether the Heffert Family was responsible or not. Not only could this power not destroy the City of Sin, but even if it could, she would be happy to witness it with her own eyes. After all, wasn't her second purpose in coming here to destroy the City of Sin?
But now a plague has appeared.
Kachina recognized the power as belonging to the Spirit of Chaos at a glance.
Ryan is in the city, and it would be troublesome if he were to be corrupted by this power.
"This..."
The members of the Four Great Families looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Albert, why is the power of desire appearing in the city? What exactly is your Hurst Family up to?" one of them shouted angrily.
Albert scoffed, "Don't just talk about me. Didn't you see what happened below? Was the power of the Spirit of Chaos also created by our Hess family?"
Whoosh!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure jumped off the tower.
Albert and the other two were taken aback.
"Andrew?"
The head of the Andrew family believed in the Spirit of Chaos.
Seeing this, Albert and the other two seemed to understand each other perfectly and jumped off the tower.
But when they actually entered the City of Sin, they realized that they had completely underestimated the power of this desire. Even Albert, who was driven by desire, felt his emotions explode immediately. The part of his desire was like an unstoppable volcanic eruption!
He hurriedly mobilized his Magic Power to suppress it, but found that the effect was very weak, but fortunately there was still some effect.
"What kind of power is this?"
Albert was horrified; he swore the Hurst Family could never produce something of this caliber!
You're accusing me of doing it? I'd rather it really was me!
If the Hurst Family could control this level of Power of Desire, they would have unified the City of Sin long ago!
As he pondered this, Albert took out his relic to help suppress the emotions. He possessed a relic that could detach people from their emotions, and it came in handy at this moment.
But this relic isn't high-grade. It keeps activating here and there, leaving him constantly having to control his spear, raise it, control his spear, raise it... Albert is a bit bewildered. Could it be that an elder from the City of Desire has descended upon him?
Suddenly.
A dark figure appeared behind him, and a voice said in a low, eerie tone—
"Albert, you smell so good!"
"!!!"
Ryan scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.
Why does this feel a bit too intense?
The City of Sin is vast and populated by a diverse population. His original plan was simply to create some chaos and take advantage of the situation, but he never expected the Pot of Greed to be so powerful. In less than half an hour, the entire city was invaded by desire.
Ryan discovered that the power of the Pot of Greed increases with the outburst of the emotions it affects; in other words, the more people are controlled by desire, the greater the power of the Pot of Greed!
What the hell is this forbidden Divine Artifact?!
"No wonder the Pot of Greed could destroy the entire city. If what was released this time was something like Rage instead of Sorrow, then the City of Sin would be gone."
The Pot of Greed affects the target, and the target, in turn, becomes dominated by desire, which in turn strengthens the effect of the Pot of Greed. This continuous cycle is like a snowball rolling downhill. Once it reaches a certain level, even Seventh Tier Transcendent would suffer.
However, while the Pot of Greed is powerful, it can also backfire on its owner. Even if it is kept in a storage bag, it will still have an effect. If it is carried around, the owner will eventually be controlled by desire, completely degenerate, and eventually go insane and die.
This is also why Hainuo dares not keep it with him.
According to the records of relics at Gate of Janus, the Pot of Greed is classified as a very dangerous item, belonging to the 'Forbidden Item' category. Within the church, there are Templar Knight specifically tasked with finding the Pot of Greed in an attempt to seal it away, but they have yet to find it.
Well, it was mainly sealed away by Hainuo for his own use, but unfortunately the vice dean was tricked by 'Lin Qi' and ended up in Ryan's hands.
However, Ryan found himself unaffected. He didn't know if he was the owner of the Pot of Greed or something else, but the whole city was in chaos, and he was the only one who remained completely conscious.
Everywhere you look, on the streets and alleys, there are all kinds of bodies entangled and deeply communicating. Some people can't find a target, so they just squeeze in wherever there is a gap. Two people are doing well, and then another one joins in. They just go wherever they can.
This shocking scene dealt a heavy blow to Ryan's pure soul. Because it was so graphic, he had to look away and hurry towards the Heffert Family.
The Pot of Greed has been put away, but the situation is clearly out of control. In any case, this city is doomed sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.
"Blame the damned God of Desire if you must, may Janus bless you."
Ryan silently said to himself, activating his wife's Character Card in mid-air. The demon spirit dragged him along, and they soon arrived at the outskirts of the Heffert Family.
From afar, the castle appeared serene and pleasant under the night sky, with the statue of the God of Desire standing quietly in front of it.
His gaze swept across the room and he found that the Heffert Family had also been affected. Although a few people in special professions were still putting up a stubborn resistance, most of the ordinary guards and maids had completely fallen into lust and had begun to enjoy themselves without restraint.
