Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 112 Meteor City and the Phantom Troupe
Chapter 111

In the realm of the gods, Rosen took out ten miniature houses worth one million spiritual crystals each.

This is an extraordinary building, a human dwelling, whose sole purpose is to bring human life out of the Spirit Realm.

The higher the grade of a residence, the more its value increases exponentially.
The World Government once used a Sequence 1 dwelling to bring out a Sequence 1 peak demigod who had fallen many years ago from the Spirit Realm.

In a sense, supernatural dwellings are a means of bringing people back from the dead.

In theory, each sequence can acquire far more than three acquired skills in addition to one innate skill.

However, all extraordinary skills depend on extraordinary source matter, and it's not necessarily better to have more extraordinary source matter to support extraordinary skills.

Each sequence level has one innate and three acquired elements, which is the generally accepted optimal combination.

Only those human superhumans who have completely cut off their path forward and see no hope of advancement in the sequence will master more than three acquired skills.

For the nobility, divine architecture is equivalent to a special acquired skill.

As for extraordinary dwellings and other extraordinary buildings, since they cannot grow along with the noble sequence and have no connection with extraordinary source matter, they will not occupy the number of acquired skills and affect the advancement of the noble sequence.

With ten Sequence 9 residences set up, Rosen can recruit one hundred Spirit Realm citizens of no more than Sequence 9.

Each one is worth an average of 10,000 spiritual crystals, which is why he didn't recruit people from the spiritual realm in the past.

However, there are advantages to being expensive. When the extraordinary dwellings bring out the life within the spirit realm and turn them into subjects, the spirituality of these subjects will also be bound to his divine territory. Not only will they be absolutely unable to betray him, but they will also bring more benefits to the territory after the job change sequence.

Those truly great noble families almost always bind their core subjects to extraordinary dwellings.

Limited by his lack of power and influence in reality, Rosen could only embark on the path of a high-ranking nobleman ahead of time.

Although he now has one hundred citizenship slots, he doesn't intend to use them casually.

Those who aren't qualified enough shouldn't even think about it; he's prepared to invest heavily in cultivating this batch of one hundred leaders.

Rosen's retina displayed the desktop of the main god's computer, and then he clicked on the list of people in each virtual spirit realm.

[Kuroro, Nobunaga, Feitan, Uvogin, Machi, Pakunoda, Franklin, Phinks, Peeling-away, Shadow, Shizuku...]

The first ten names on this list are all current members of the Phantom Troupe.

The little one behind will also join the Phantom Troupe in a few years.

Although the members of the Phantom Troupe are not the main characters in the Hunter x Hunter world, they are definitely formidable villains.

The vast majority of members come from places like Meteor City. Despite not receiving proper training, they have become top-notch Nen users. Undoubtedly, these people have excellent aptitude and are all very high-quality candidates for leadership.

The question Rosen is currently hesitating about is whether to convert now or later.
Now that they're transforming, Kuroro and the others are still quite young, which is the perfect time for them to grow.

However, the Phantom Troupe has only been established for a little over a year, and its number of members is still several short of its peak. Once these people are converted into citizens, they will be restricted to the area they have set up on the map, just like him, and will be unable to continue traveling to various places to recruit new members.

After much deliberation, Rosen decided that it was better to have a bird in the hand than two in the bush.

The Shafiq Consortium is no pushover; although it lacks strength, money can make the world go round.

He has already used the Shafik Consortium to lay various traps for those plot characters he has his eye on.

Kurapika, the third male character, belongs to the Kurta race and lives in the Luxon region.

Knowing the location, capturing all the Kuruta tribe members and bringing them to Shafik Prefecture would be no difficult task.

The entire Kurta clan possesses the innate talent of having red eyes, making them qualified to become Nen users.

Therefore, the entire Kurta tribe was Rosen's designated subjects.

Aside from the third male lead, Rosen, whom he was determined to win over, he wanted to take over any character with a name and a surname in the story.

Of course, he also didn't intend to let go of those nameless and unknown people with good backgrounds.

In Meteor City, Rosen instantly teleported outside the church using his control over the spirit realm.

The dilapidated church clearly hadn't been repaired for many years, showing that even God couldn't save the people of Meteor City.

Rosen entered the church, making no attempt to conceal his footsteps as he walked toward the apse.

The moment he stepped into the apse of the church, a sharp dagger emerged from the darkness, aimed at Rosen's throat. Rosen vanished instantly, reappearing behind the attacker and reaching out to grab his head.

With bandages wrapped around his forehead and dressed neatly and cleanly, Kuroro was now too afraid to move, cold sweat dripping down his face.

Kuroro could sense that the person holding his head could crush it at any moment.

"A little disappointed."

Rosen sighed.

The Kuroro he knew from the anime was calm, rational, and shrewd.

However, the Kuroro before us is far less mature than he is in the anime.

It's not surprising, though. He was almost thirty when he first appeared in the story, but now he's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. How could Kuroro have truly matured without rich life experiences?

Rosen deployed his divine domain on the spot and brought Kuroro to the extraordinary dwellings on the edge of the castle.

Looking at the suddenly changed environment around him, Kuroro's heart sank even further.

Rosen pushed Kuroro into the supernatural dwelling, closed the door, and waited for the transformation results.

A few minutes later, Kuroro walked out of the extraordinary dwelling with a book in his arms and a complicated expression.

This book was a free gift from the Extraordinary Dwellings. It contains information about the relationship between the lords of the divine realm and their subjects, a brief introduction to the World Government's control over the human world, and a brief introduction to the Spirit Realm. Through these, Kuroro already knows what has happened.

He was chosen by the lord of the divine realm and forced to become one of his subjects.

From that moment on, his life and death were in the hands of the divine lord before him.

Freedom would no longer belong to him, but the advantage was that he could transform from a false life in the Spirit Realm into a real life and be able to change his class to the Extraordinary Sequence to gain more powerful strength. However, if he really had to choose, he would still choose freedom.

Kuroro concealed his rebellious thoughts and respectfully knelt on one knee to pledge his allegiance to Rosen.

Rosen understood that Kuroro was unwilling, but he had no right to resist.

If Kuroro wants to escape the realm of the gods, he must at least become a demigod and be one rank higher than him.

This is absolutely impossible. Although Chrollo has good aptitude for Nen in the Hunter x Hunter world, there are too many geniuses in the human world. It is unlikely that Chrollo will become a demigod in his lifetime.

Rosen took Chrollo back to the Meteor City Church and instructed Chrollo to gather the other Phantom Troupe members.

As for himself, he was teleported to the slum where Little Drop lived.

Little Drop hasn't joined the Phantom Troupe yet; she's just a girl who picks up trash every day to fill her stomach.

Rosen pushed open the door and walked into the dilapidated wooden house. Little Drop, who was munching on bread, looked at Rosen expressionlessly.

Rosen still has many people to recruit, and he doesn't want to persuade them one by one with painstaking effort.

So he went straight up, grabbed Xiao Di, and forcibly sent her into the extraordinary dwelling using his divine domain.

For the rest of the day, Rosen selected a total of one hundred of the most talented young men and women from Meteor City.

By nightfall, these people were already gathered in the divine realm beneath the radiant lighthouse.

There is no sunlight in the divine realm; only a hazy white light shines down from the sky.

However, ever since the Brilliant Lighthouse was built, a constant stream of sunlight has shone down from it, covering the entire divine realm.

At this moment, beneath the Brilliant Lighthouse, Kuroro and the others, who had already showered clean in the public bathhouse, were wearing new clothes and waiting for their meal. Soon, the cat-people had set up a fire, brought out tables and chairs, and started preparing barbecue.

Living in Meteor City, it's already a blessing to be able to eat your fill, let alone enjoy delicious barbecue.

Everyone was wolfing down their food. They hadn't forgotten the words the lord had given them when he transformed them into subjects: from now on, they would have to train hard every day after eating and drinking their fill. The sooner they met the conditions, the sooner they could awaken their spirituality and advance to the extraordinary sequence.

So even Kuroro tried to eat as much grilled meat as possible at this time.

Otherwise, how can one recover and meet the standards set by the lord while going hungry?

Besides, this meat is really delicious. Before he becomes powerful, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to eat this lord out of house and home.
