Chapter 136

"These mummies are territory soldiers..."

"After a thorough dissection," Barr said with certainty.

Rosen nodded thoughtfully. A Sequence 9 unit building produces one unit per week.

On average, there are fifty mummies a year, so there must be hundreds of thousands of mummies over thousands of years.

Of course, this is on the premise that the troop buildings have a continuous supply of intelligence and resources; otherwise, the troop buildings cannot be created out of thin air.

Rosen didn't believe there could be hundreds of thousands of mummies in this spirit realm.

However, Rosen soon realized he had spoken too soon.

Because the surrounding desert seemed to come alive and kept writhing, mummies kept emerging.

The total number was far more than several hundred thousand; at least a million mummies surrounded them.

Startled, Baal pulled out a levitation backpack, only to fall down after being lifted three feet off the ground.

This desert is actually protected by a no-fly zone; anyone who is more than three feet off the ground will be immediately suppressed by the no-fly zone.

However, the eagles depicted in the previous spiritual paintings were able to soar high without being affected.

Rosen immediately projected the canvas of his mind to different heights, releasing a sparrow he had casually drawn from the canvas.

As a result, altitudes ranging from three feet to one hundred meters above the ground were all within the no-fly zone.

Above 100 meters, the air-to-air restrictions cannot cover altitudes above that level.

It wouldn't be difficult for Rosen to leave, but it would be a shame to leave so many mummies alive.

These are millions of Sequence 9 mummies; you could get at least several hundred million spiritual crystals from them.

Rosen looked directly at the surrounding sky, and then twenty thermobaric aerial bombs were projected, rendered, and materialized by the Mind Canvas.

On average, a single destruction radius is two hundred meters, enough to kill hundreds of scattered mummies.

However, Rosen frowned slightly; his scavenging space had not gained any new loot.

Not only were there no spoils of light, but there were also no extraordinary source matter or spiritual crystals?

Rosen took out the God-Slaying Crossbow and fired bolts that scattered like a shower of flowers, killing hordes of enemies.

However, they still found nothing, as if all the mummies were fake.

Rosen set up a void trap, transferring several mummies to the Void Gallery and then to the Divine Realm.

At this moment, the Brilliant Lighthouse shot down these mummies and successfully obtained extraordinary source matter and spiritual crystals.

This proves that these mummies are indeed real, but this spirit realm has consumed the mummies after their deaths.

As Rosen hesitated about whether to continue killing, the siblings Bal and Nia knelt down before the oasis.

Then, kneeling, he took three steps forward and kowtowed once, thus leaving the spatial mist without being attacked by the mummy.

Rosen shook his head; it seemed that this Baal was hiding something.

However, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention as long as there was no malice. Who can tell the complete truth to a stranger?

Ultimately, this is a deal where both sides get what they need.

Rosen instantly used Shadow Shift to teleport to a height of over 100 meters and enter the Void Gallery.

A skull engulfed in flames of blood floated in the air, following Bal and Nia.

This made Nia, who looked up and saw this scene, mutter a complaint to herself, telling Baal not to be so presumptuous.

Barr did not refute this; he had indeed underestimated Sequence 7 due to his own cleverness.

From his vantage point, Rosen gradually witnessed a breathtaking scene.

As Bal and Nia continued to kneel towards the oasis, more and more mummies followed behind, arranged in neat rows like an army.

However, Rosen soon realized that he could not remain uninvolved.

Because it was more than 100 meters above the ground, sandstorms began to appear, engulfing everything.

Below 100 meters, there isn't even a speck of dust, let alone sandstorms.

Clearly, these sandstorms are aimed at intruders like him who are capable of flying through the air.

However, while this sandstorm can threaten Sequence 7, it does not pose a threat to the Void Gallery, which can withstand Sequence 6.

Rosen manipulated the Void Gallery to force its way out of the sandstorm and landed on the edge of the waterway leading from the edge of the oasis to the deep palace complex.

There was a small boat there, and Rosen released some rats to test the waters.

All the rats, whether they entered the forest or jumped into the water, immediately lost their vitality and turned into mummies.

Only those who landed safely on the small boat gave the impression that unless they followed the tomb owner's instructions, they wouldn't be able to enter the oasis alive.

Those who come to rob tombs follow the tomb owner's instructions, and it's easy to imagine that they will eventually fall into a trap.

Rosen released a self-portrait clone and manipulated it to force its way in.

Besides replicating the painter's combat power and being able to die in place of the painter, the self-portrait clone also has many other advantages. Many powers that are designed to target living people cannot cause effective damage to the self-portrait clone.

As expected, the power to deprive him of life could not affect the self-portrait clone, and Rosen began to enter the oasis along the waterway.

After navigating the winding waterways, Rosen finally approached the palace complex.

The buildings are huge structures made entirely of piled-up stones, and on the surface, they appear to be regularly repaired and cleaned.

Rosen activated his Void Realm Eye Technique to scan the surroundings, but these palaces contained spiritual energy and could not be scanned into the virtual world within the Void Realm.

However, a hidden underground city exists beneath the palace.

Moreover, it is inhabited, with a population of several hundred thousand people living in the underground city.

Freddy's Nen ability has locked onto certain dreams, and Rosen has used Laziness to send his consciousness into these dreams.

Guided by his dream, Rosen learned some clues that these people knew.

These people called themselves the Pharaoh's subjects and could not live their entire lives outside the area covered by the oasis.

Only after death can one be sent out of the oasis and become an immortal mummy.

These people have a recorded history of less than a few hundred years.

This means that, in the absence of outsiders, time inside the spiritual realm moves ten times slower than outside.

If an outsider sets foot in the spirit realm, time, which was originally slow, will return to normal.

If there is still a difference in time, it is impossible for Rosen, who has a divine domain, not to notice the time difference between different worlds.

Rosen was almost certain that these people's ancestors were living people, but they were kept in this spiritual realm.

This is a grave crime. Even if you take all your subjects with you after the death of the Lord of the Divine Realm, you absolutely cannot keep them as livestock, because keeping them as livestock means treating them as slaves, which is a serious crime that the World Government does not allow.

Rosen only learned the truth about why such a rule existed after asking many nobles.

Within any of the spirit realms, there are no divine lords who are recreated after death.

Because all the lords of the divine realms, unless their existence is completely erased, will invariably reappear in the depths of the spirit world.

The World Government's main force in resisting the countless traces of alien civilizations deep within the Spirit Realm consists precisely of those divine lords who died in the real world. Therefore, their subjects can be buried alive with their lords, entering the depths of the Spirit Realm to begin an alternative rebirth. However, they absolutely cannot be left behind and kept as pets; this would be a stain on the World Government's human civilization.

Human beings cannot be enslaved. Enslaved humans cannot strengthen human civilization; on the contrary, they will weaken human civilization.

Therefore, any such behavior, whether committed by a human or an alien race, will result in certain death if discovered.

Rosen did not enter the palace complex because he already suspected that the painting of the spirit realm had merged with the divine domain.

This means that he is currently in the territory of another divine realm lord.

This is different from when he broke into Count Fritz's divine territory. Not only did his elite troops die outside, but Count Fritz himself was also in a state of resurrection, making it impossible for him to control the divine territory and launch an effective counterattack.

If Count Fritz had still been in control of the territory, Rosen would never have infiltrated Count Fritz's castle.

The same applies to the previous one; Baal's great-uncle might not be completely dead.

Since they don't even care about the World Government's ban, it can basically be understood as rebelling against the human government.

In addition to the unusually large number of mummies, Rosen suspected that Baal's great-uncle had not actually died, but had only suffered fatal injuries. Now, Baal's great-uncle might be on the pyramid ahead, having abandoned his human identity and become a mummy pharaoh.

Rosen waited there for two hours, during which time he kept releasing rats into the oasis.

The Baer siblings, rowing their small boat, arrived two hours late.

They were actually moving quite fast, considering that the two siblings had crawled for several kilometers on their knees in the desert.

"What else do you know? If you're hiding anything, I'm leaving."

Rosen warned Bal directly after he and others landed.

Baal wanted to make up some more lies, but seeing Rosen's indifferent gaze, he suddenly realized that this was a Sequence 7 painter.

Moreover, he is a painter who controls the canvas of the mind; if he lies, it would be difficult to fool Rosen.

Left with no other choice, Baal revealed his hidden secret.

It turns out that Baal's great-uncle had left some information about this spiritual realm in the family heirloom.

If you encounter a mummy in the desert and can't defeat it, you can crawl on your knees.

Also, once you enter the oasis, you must never go underground, or you will definitely die.

Then, Uncle Baal's legacy was placed inside the pyramid.

If you don't have the strength of a Sequence 7, you should at least bring a Sequence 7 noble helper with you to the pyramid to ensure your safety.

Rosen looked at Barr as if he were an idiot; it was truly remarkable that such an idiot had survived until now.

Did he really believe everything that was written in the family heirloom without any doubt?
Either his acting was so good that he could fool the mental canvas of malice, or Baal was indeed not smart.

But Bahr is a sculptor; having a talent for sculpting is enough, he doesn't have to be a scientist.

However, since Nia was able to become a rare Star Wizard, her intelligence could not possibly be as pitiful as Baal's.

Nia, who looks timid, shrinking, and almost invisible, is very likely a skilled actress.

Baal warned against going underground, but the warning came a little too late.

Because the gray rats entered the underground city two hours earlier, they are now leading their swarm to conduct a thorough search of the entire oasis.

Baal didn't rush to the pyramids because he felt like his knees weren't his own anymore.

Even though I've taken the life potion and energy potion, it's still better to rest for a while.

Before Baal could get any rest, the gray rat had already returned.

Rosen, seeing the gray rat jumping around excitedly, already knew that he had made a significant discovery.

Through mental communication via the Nightmare Chains, he quickly learned why the gray rat was so excited it was almost out of control.

When the World Government was established, it didn't just wipe out the alien races that are now within human territory.

There are also those stubborn, unyielding human superhumans who refuse to join the World Government.

Among them is King Stulain, a human who controls the undead sequence. He openly opposes the World Government because he refuses to abolish slavery. Stulain's power as a Gundam Sequence 1 gives him the confidence to do so.

However, the World Government's power exceeded Stulain's expectations, and he was made an example of by the World Government.

However, Stulain, who controls the undead sequence, is himself a peak demigod who manipulates souls and controls life and death.

So Sturian did not die completely, but was resurrected from the pyramid tomb he built.

However, after being resurrected, he became a pharaoh mummy, a spirit life form.

Stulain then unleashed the Scourge of the Undead, attempting to become a Sequence 0 deity within the Undead sequence.

As a result, they were once again crushed by the World Government, becoming the backdrop for the World Government's establishment and a laughing stock used as a warning to others.

When Stulain died for the second time, rumors circulated that he could actually be resurrected many more times.

Therefore, the World Government used some kind of power to simultaneously scatter Sturlein across different pyramid tombs, erasing the hidden spirits with resurrection abilities at the same time, thus completely killing Sturlein and preventing him from ever being resurrected again.

Later, those pyramids that had lost their function of resurrection were gradually discovered by people in later generations.

Without exception, they all reaped extremely rich rewards from these pyramids.

After all, he's a top-tier player in Sequence 1; even the things he leaves behind are incredibly valuable.
In particular, to ensure a rapid recovery of strength upon resurrection, Stulain left valuable treasures in almost every pyramid.

It's just unknown whether this pyramid in front of us is one of Stulain's real resurrection pyramids.

It could be a replica drawn by Baal's great-uncle based on the real Pyramid of Resurrection, or it could be a replica made by later generations. If it were the real Pyramid of Resurrection of Stulain, Baal's great-uncle should not have stopped at Sequence 6.

Full of anticipation, Rosen and his sister Barr boarded the only small boat in the waterway.

Baal rowed on and on until the boat came to rest in front of the palace, which looked like an upright rocket, right in front of the pyramids.

To get to the pyramids, you have to take a detour through the jungle without going through the palace.

However, the jungle in this oasis is no ordinary place; it is filled with endless deathly energy. Rats that enter it die the faster they get closer to the pyramid. Therefore, the only truly safe passage seems to be through the royal palace.

The magnificent palace was completely empty, devoid of any furniture or decorations.

It was as if no one had ever lived here since the palace was built.

We walked through a long corridor, passing through the rear hall of the palace.

Finally, we saw a stone path leading directly to the pyramids. The stone slabs on the ground were as smooth as a mirror, with almost no visible gaps.

The stone-paved road reflects the blue sky and white clouds, making you feel as if you are strolling among the clouds.

After walking along a stone path for hundreds of meters, Rosen and his two companions stopped in front of the main entrance of the pyramid.

The stone gate, which is tens of meters high, is carved with the history of Pharaoh Sturian.

However, Stulain's face appears to have undergone slight modifications.

Baal rushed forward to open the door, but even with all his might, he couldn't budge the stone door an inch.

Helpless, Bal retreated, and Rosen stepped forward, pressed down on the stone door, and unleashed his full power.

He currently has 25 points of spirituality, which is a 9.85 increase in spirituality compared to when he had 1 point.

With the enhancement of this amplification factor, coupled with the continuous strengthening of his physique by some abilities, his physique now possesses a base strength of 65 tons. If he were to further amplify it with Nen, a full-force punch would have a destructive force of several hundred tons.

However, even with hundreds of tons of thrust, the pyramid's stone gate could not be moved.

P.S.: I lost track of time while writing, and when I looked it up it was 11:30, I quickly started revising. It took me a while to finish.
