Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 146 The Fall of the Demon God and the Temple of the Main God

Chapter 145

At the port of Blue Whale Kingdom, Delia, wearing a veil, sold the extraordinary sea beast she had just hunted.

Even after escaping to the Blue Whale Kingdom, she dared not publicly register with the guild.

This prevented her from entering the Spirit Realm, and she didn't even dare let anyone know that she was a gourmet with a Gundam Sequence 7. She could only rely on hunting extraordinary sea beasts to earn spiritual crystals, but she ate most of the extraordinary sea beasts she hunted.

It's easy to change oneself from poverty to wealth, but it's hard to tolerate a drastic change in one's quality of life from wealth to poverty.

In the past, Delia had forced herself to eat ordinary food out of fear.

However, in order to have Rosen imprint the Time Dust as soon as possible, she ate a lot of spiritual food. Whether it was her gluttonous stomach or the extraordinary source quality of the Gourmet sequence, she could no longer suppress her resistance to ordinary food.

Delia felt it would take her another two months to save enough money for the journey to other kingdoms.

Rosen easily learned about Delia's current situation through the paintings in Delia's memory.

This left him somewhat dumbfounded; a dignified Sequence 7 gourmet had actually eaten himself into poverty.

Since Delia needs money, he will find a way to help her earn money and leave as soon as possible.

Rosen took out the Fate Pen and quickly wrote a Fate script of average strength.

It's not aimed at Delia, but at the extraordinary sea monsters she's been hunting in the area. Her harvest will increase significantly in the next few days, and if she doesn't leave after she's made enough money, then it really won't be a simple coincidence.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, and a week later Delia left the Blue Whale Kingdom.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to relax.

However, before they could even relax for two days, news that shocked the human world reached the Blue Whale Kingdom.

The dungeon kingdom disappeared, and the demon god escaped and almost completely wiped out the dungeon kingdom.

Only a small number of people successfully escaped the catastrophe that destroyed their country.

The demon that has now escaped its clutches has vanished without a trace, and all the surrounding countries are in a state of panic and on high alert.

The situation in the Blue Whale Kingdom was somewhat better, as the Void Blue Whale headed directly to the nearest Thunder Empire for refuge.

After a rapid voyage lasting more than ten days, all the Void Blue Whales of the Blue Whale Kingdom finally arrived at the Thunder Empire.

For an empire above all kingdoms, the most basic requirement is to have a demigod of Sequence 2 in charge.

That's not all; every empire must have a Sequence 0 extraordinary artifact as its foundation.

It can be said that empires and kingdoms are not the same concept at all. All kingdoms are only indirectly ruled by the world government, while all empires are directly ruled by the world government. As long as one becomes a titled demigod, one can choose an unclaimed empire to assume the imperial throne.

To put it simply, it's about accumulating faith for titled demigods, thereby helping them advance further.

Once a titled demigod reaches Sequence 1, or fails to reach Sequence 1 within the allotted time, they will relinquish their imperial throne. Because they are not permanent emperors, titled demigods often do not value power very much.

Of course, not valuing power doesn't mean having no power; the strength of a titled demigod is the greatest power.

The tense situation quickly dissipated as the Blue Whale Kingdom now bordered the Thunder Kingdom.

Even a demon god or a titled demigod with a sequence 0 extraordinary artifact can easily block it.

As long as the Demon God can be held back, the World Government can easily suppress it.

The Demon God also knew this, so it was almost impossible for him to recklessly attack the Thunder Empire while in a weakened state.

Everyone was certain that the Demon God would soon be dealt with by the World Government.

Of all the alien deities that have ventured into human territory, only a handful have managed to escape.

Although the demon god has escaped, he must still have some hidden tricks left by the World Government.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the demon god to escape. The concern is that the demon god will take some kingdoms and duchies with him before he dies.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

The demon god attacked many duchies and kingdoms, but surprisingly did not go on a killing spree. He only looted a large number of spiritual crystals. Then, after the world government sent powerful people to suppress the demon god, the demon god disappeared without a trace.

If alien races had this ability, humanity would have been in chaos long ago.

Therefore, there is only one truth: there is a traitor helping the demon.

The World Government was not to be trifled with either, and quickly uncovered the truth behind the escape of the Demon God from the Dungeon Kingdom.

We need to appease people's hearts, but at the same time, we need to make an example of someone to deter others.

The World Government has revealed the truth and is also preparing to publicly execute everyone involved in this incident.

Above the Blue Whale Royal City, a Sequence 4 painter from the World Government projected a mental canvas into the sky.

The execution of a group of criminals was broadcast live on the canvas in the ruins of the underground kingdom.

Everyone was chained to the cross, and Rosen only glanced at them before spotting two familiar figures.

The first one was none other than the missing Faris Cuca.

The second one he was also very familiar with was Delia's adoptive father.

These two were not the ringleaders; the real ringleader was actually the king of the underground kingdom.

The executioners of the World Government, after announcing the crimes, began to execute the prisoners one by one.

After finally executing the King of Sequence 3, he didn't stop. He took out a magical artifact that looked like a loom and started weaving with a picture of a demon god. Soon, the loom actually wove a life-size doll of the demon god.

The World Government executed the Demon God Puppet directly, and the Demon God Puppet disappeared without a trace, replaced by the Demon God who died at the execution ground.

Even though it was just a projection of the mind's canvas, countless people felt an unprecedented fear the moment they saw the demon appear.

Rosen felt the same way; it was the first time he had truly witnessed the terror of the World Government.

News had just come that someone had helped the demon escape its pursuit, and the World Government immediately executed all those involved.

Even the escaped demon god was executed directly using that terrifying extraordinary artifact.

Rosen was somewhat disappointed that Faris had died unjustly, his crime being helping the king break the seal of the demon god.

But things just passed like that, especially with the death of Delia's mysterious adoptive father, which truly cured a deep-seated worry in his heart. In fact, it wasn't just him; the entire Blue Whale Royal City was in a great mood today.

Throughout the day, the streets were filled with various spectacular performances celebrating the fall of the demon god.

Lawson had played all day and was ready to get a good night's sleep.

However, as soon as he entered the dream, he saw the demon god appear in his dream.

Rosen's first reaction was that he was in danger, but he quickly realized that the demon in his dream was not in any danger at all.

He attempted to make spiritual contact and unexpectedly discovered that it was actually an aggregation of the divinity and divine authority of a demon god.

These should have fallen into the hands of the World Government after the Demon God's death.

Now that he has suddenly appeared in his dream, is it because he has mastered gluttony, greed, and sloth?

Rosen repeatedly confirmed that the divinity and divine authority of the demon god posed absolutely no threat.

Only then did he thoughtfully open the mysterious study in his dream and pull the network cable of the main god's computer out of the window.

The moment the network cable was plugged into the demon god, a massive amount of colorful light was drawn away by the main god's computer.

Rosen eagerly awaited feedback from the main computer, wondering what abilities would be enhanced this time.

As a result, after the demon god was devoured alive by the main god computer, it showed no reaction whatsoever.

Rosen used his spiritual perception to sense the changes in the main god computer, and only then did he realize that the main god computer also needed divine power, but the divine power he had gained in the past was too little to meet the main god computer's needs.

This time, the quantity was plentiful and there was plenty to eat, so the main computer didn't hold back and devoured everything.

The computer followed its sequence level, and there was no fundamental change from sequence 9 to sequence 7.

Because it lacked divinity, the true changes in the main god computer were only successfully revealed after it had been satiated with divinity this time.

The Sequence 9 main computer primarily functions as a drawing software and an entertainment player.

The Sequence 8 main computer has successfully activated its network connectivity.

The Sequence 7 main computer successfully activated its function of searching for information online.

Even before fully digesting the divinity, the main god computer can activate all the abilities that should be activated up to Sequence 1. Even so, it still has the capacity to extract the divine authority of the demon god. As the master of the main god computer, it can wield one kind of divine authority in each sequence.

The moment Rosen sat down in front of the main computer, three beams of seven-colored light shot out from the screen and entered his body.

The original gluttony, greed, and sloth have all undergone a fundamental change.

Within his body, a stomach appeared out of nowhere, existing between body and soul, between existence and non-existence.

This is the power of gluttony, the gluttonous stomach that forms within him.

Then came his hands; a pair of hands appeared within him, existing between body and soul, between existence and non-existence.

This is the hand of greed, with both hands and feet, the feet of laziness fused with sloth.

The sudden appearance of three extra organs in his body made Rosen somewhat uncomfortable.

However, he soon discovered the benefits.

The Gluttonous Stomach enhances the Gluttonous Beast's digestive abilities and can also seal away beings below the level of demigod.

Almost all beings below the level of demigod who are eaten by the Gluttonous Beast will be trapped and die in its stomach.

Then there's the Hand of Greed, a pair of hands that can steal other people's abilities; each hand can steal one ability.

Finally, there's the Foot of Sloth, which allows him to ignore almost all restrictions imposed on beings below the demigod level and freely enter and exit most worlds.

Rosen tried out the three abilities, and each one was no less powerful than Quetzalcoatl's pseudo-divine authority.

I wonder how much change awakening the seven deadly sins and their seven powers will bring to him.

Rosen roughly understood that although the Demon God was dead, some of the Demon God's power should have been distributed to the beings who mastered the Seven Deadly Sins of the Demon God and fused with the Demon God's extraordinary bloodline. That's why he gained such great benefits after the Demon God's death.

However, this is still a bit strange. How could the World Government release the Demon God's divinity and divine authority?

There must be another reason, and Rosen immediately thought of Delia.

Since Delia's adoptive father was not dead, Delia must have been under his control.

If he hadn't acquired the Nightmare Slime's extraordinary bloodline, if he hadn't used the God's computer to resurrect the Nightmare Slime and activate three powers in succession, the divinity and divine authority of the Demon God after his death should have fallen into Delia's hands, according to the normal course of events.

So is it possible that Delia herself was a vessel used to collect the divinity and divine power of the demon gods?
If that's really the case, the mastermind behind it all must be furious right now.

Rosen thought about it again and again, but it was all just speculation. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He looked at the main computer and began to check its networking and information search functions. Rosen first checked the networking function—what kind of network was it connecting to?
Upon opening the computer's network connections, Rosen immediately saw a considerable number of network connection options.

The Main God Network, the Gods Network, the Spirit Realm Deep Web, the Arcane Magic Network, the Mechanical God Network...

These different networks all have different basic information introductions.

The Main God Network is a network originating from the Main God Computer; the Cosmic God Network is a network originating from numerous alien gods; the Spirit Realm Deep Network is a network established by the World Government; the Arcane Magic Network is a network built by the inter-race Arcane Mage Alliance; and the Mechanical God Network is a network built by the Mechanical Race.

The most basic function of these networks is to serve as channels for information exchange between different civilizations.

At the same time, these networks each have their own unique characteristics, containing extremely powerful extraordinary forces.

Only Sequence 3 demigods are eligible to join these networks.

Before Sequence 6, the main god computer can connect to a maximum of one network; before Sequence 3, it can connect to a maximum of two networks; from Sequence 3 to Sequence 1, it can connect to one network each; and finally, in Sequence 0, there are no restrictions and it can connect to any existing network.

There is only one option at present, and after consideration, Rosen decided to connect to the God Network.

The reason is simple: it originates from the network of the God Computer.

Through this God Network, he might be able to learn more secrets about the God Computer and the Mysterious Study.

After selecting the God Network to connect to the internet, a successful connection icon will instantly appear in the lower right corner of the desktop.

The desktop then began downloading, and soon a program icon for the Temple of Gods appeared on the screen.

Rosen clicked on the main temple icon and entered a special browser interface.

At the top is the search bar, and below it is a vortex that looks like a black hole.

Rosen could clearly sense that the vortex had a teleportation function.

He exited the program and checked the detailed information of the main temple through the information authentication of the main god's computer.

The search bar above can be used to search for all publicly available information on the God's Network.

However, the query is not free. Basic information is free, but detailed information requires divine power to view.

Then the vortex below leads to the Temple of the Extraordinary Wonders of Sequence 0.

If one can enter in their true form, one can also enter with divinity and automatically form a divine projection.

All those who possess great fortune will receive an invitation to the main temple.

Refining the invitation letter will grant you a projection of the Main God's Temple. From then on, you can enter the real Main God's Temple through the projection, where you can exchange information or trade goods. The Main God's Temple will take one percent of the value of the information and the traded goods.

If the main god computer is restored to Sequence 1, it can regain control of the main god temple that has been separated from the main god computer.

Prior to this, Lawson only had the privilege of waiving the 1% handling fee.

Apart from that, he was no different from any other person with great fortune.

"A person with great fortune—what kind of person can be considered a person with great fortune?"

Rosen muttered to himself.

As Rosen activated the partial transformation of Quetzalcoatl, Quetzalcoatl's wings appeared behind him. At the same time, his spirituality transformed into divinity. In the instant he projected a bit of divinity into the black hole vortex on the screen, the divinity had entered the main temple and formed a divine projection.

Meanwhile, the screen of the main god's palace was already appearing on the main god's computer monitor.

Rosen was multitasking, his conscious subject entering a divine projection.

He was now shrouded in a black cloak, his face obscured by black mist, with endless starlight flickering in the darkness.

Behind him was a wall, and on both sides were corridors, all shrouded in black mist, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

There were lights ahead, but also a faint black mist at the end of the corridor.

Rosen walked towards the firelight and passed through the black mist, immediately arriving at a large hall several hundred meters in diameter. Four stone pillars supported the entire hall, and burning torches were stuck on the pillars to illuminate the hall.

Inside the main hall, there are two rows of tables, each hundreds of meters long, divided into neatly arranged stalls.

It looks rather shabby, not even as good as a decent church for ordinary people.

There were very few people in the main hall at this time; only a few people were picking things out at the stalls.

Upon seeing Rosen appear, they glanced at him casually and then ignored him, each busy with their own affairs.

Rosen went to the long table on the left, looked at the things on the table for a while, and his eyes instantly turned red.

The worst items are all Sequence 3 extraordinary artifacts, and high-sequence skill crystals, divinity, pseudo-divine authority, demigod extraordinary bloodlines, and even extraordinary artifacts that reach Sequence 1 are all available here and can be found everywhere.

The currency used for trading is not spiritual crystallization, but rather divine gold coins obtained in some unknown way.

As Rosen walked around, he observed the few people remaining in the main temple.

Finally, he saw a man who seemed to have found what he needed. He immediately went to the nearest stone pillar, took out various items and piled them up into a small mountain. Finally, he took a torch and lit the mountain on fire.

The mountain is composed of spiritual crystals and various unheard-of extraordinary resources.

Everything melted in the flames, and when the flames finally dissipated, a pile of gold coins with flaming shadows on both sides remained.

This must be the God's Coins. Now that he knows how to obtain them, he immediately starts selecting what he needs.

There were so many good things to choose from that Rosen spent several hours picking out a piece of extraordinary source material.

This is a Sequence 5 Photographer's Extraordinary Source Material; the seller requires 500 God Coins.

At this price, you could almost buy a regular-quality Sequence 3 Extraordinary item.

The reason this extraordinary source material is so expensive is that it contains time-related skills.

Anything with a time-related attribute will command a significant price premium.

Rosen approached the stone pillar and began taking out spiritual crystals from the scavenging space.

He received 500 million and took down the torch to ignite the spiritual crystallization.

Looking at the 50 God's Gold Coins on the ground, he began to take out things he didn't need for the time being.

I almost emptied my scavenging space before I barely managed to scrape together 500 God Coins.

Divinity enveloped these gold coins, and all the gold coins merged together.

Finally, holding a God's Gold Coin worth 500, Rosen bought the Photographer's Extraordinary Source Material of Sequence 5.

The transaction process was very simple; the value of each item was clearly stated.

Only after the main god's gold coins are placed down can the items for trade be picked up.

Rosen didn't want to stay in the main temple for another second; it was not a place he was qualified to be now.

After the divine projection left the main temple, Rosen withdrew a portion of his divinity and took out extraordinary source matter from the scavenging space.

These are a pair of clear, black and white eyes; the extraordinary essence of a photographer's sequence is usually fused in their eyes.

Rosen grabbed an eyeball with his left hand, while his right hand materialized and penetrated deep into the eyeball.

The Photographer's Extraordinary Source Material is so expensive not only because it contains a Sequence 6 Time Skill, but also because the Photographer's Photographic Space is located inside the Extraordinary Source Material. The Photographic Space is similar to a virtual realm, which can replicate and materialize what is seen.

Of course, everything in the photographic space is fake, unless the captured content is constructed into a videotape of a spirit world.

Not only painters can create spiritual realms, but also photographers, novelists, playwrights, and many other professions.

Painters have the best cost-effectiveness in this regard, while photographers and novelists face much greater challenges in creating spiritual realms.

However, even in advanced sequence 6, becoming a photographer or novelist is much simpler than becoming a painter.

Photographers at Sequence 5 level are usually capable of creating spiritual realms.

Besides being interested in the time-based abilities within the extraordinary source essence, Rosen also wanted to try to merge the photographic space with the illusory realm of his left eye, thereby further enhancing the scanning and materialization capabilities of the illusory realm.

It's okay if you fail, because you have enough time and skills to recoup your losses.

With the aid of greed, Rosen meticulously extracted the time-based abilities from the extraordinary source material.

Then, through greed, they steal and possess the stripped-off skills.

[Time's Eyes LV5: The eyes can see the passage of time and can briefly see five seconds of the past and future]

[Enhanced Feature: Time Reversal - Can reverse five seconds of time]

[Enhanced Feature: Time Acceleration - Accelerates time by five seconds]

The Eye of Time, with a skill level of LV5, was stolen and kept entirely by the Greedy Hand.

Rosen immediately tried to use it, but he could only see four seconds of the past and future.

Reversing time and accelerating time can only last a maximum of four seconds.

This level 5 skill can only perform as well as level 4 skills.

Rosen then extended his left hand, the Greedy Hand, to try and steal other skills from it.

It is indeed feasible, but most of the remaining skills require different skills to work together to be effective, and he doesn't value the few skills that have independent value.

Rosen released the Gluttonous Nen Beast, which swallowed a pair of eyes from his right palm.

Once the extraordinary source material entered the Gluttony Stomach, its various powers were immediately digested bit by bit.

Rosen poured all the digested food into his eyes.

His left eye possesses the Void Realm Pupil Technique, while his right eye houses the Hunter God Demon Eye, formed from spiritual energy.

The photographer's extraordinary essence, the Void Realm Eye Technique, and the God-Hunter's Demon Eye are three independent abilities with no intention of merging. However, under the suppression of extraordinary elements by greed and the digestion of extraordinary elements by gluttony, the three powers begin to forcibly blend together.

The first thing to change was the Hunter's Eye, which incorporated the camera from the main god's computer.

Since then, the Hunter's Eye has acquired the ability to photograph, upload, synthesize, and destroy images.

In fact, the abilities of the Hunter's Eye are somewhat similar to those of a photographer.

The only difference is that one involves taking a picture and uploading it to the main computer, while the other involves taking a picture and copying it to the photography space.

That's why Rosen wanted to try and see if he could use the Gluttony and the photographer's extraordinary essence to make the Hunter's Eye even stronger.

As expected, the Hunter's Eye's abilities have been enhanced. Originally, it was like a camera, capable of taking a maximum of two photos at a time. Now, after merging with the photographer's power, it has truly activated the camera's video recording capabilities, evolving from simply taking pictures to photography.

As the transformation of the Hunter's Eye ended, the Void Realm Pupil Technique also underwent a corresponding change.

The Void Realm can only scan things without spirituality, but the Hunter's Eye can take pictures regardless of whether they have spirituality or not, and then copy the content recorded in the Void Realm, which is equivalent to transforming the Void Realm into a photographic space.

The renovation process is rather slow; it will likely take several months to complete.
