Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 162 Ancient Divine Prison and Void Spear Dance

Chapter 161

Rosen spread his spiritual energy outwards, skillfully forming a hollow spherical energy barrier.

As long as he doesn't dispel the barrier, not a single sound can escape from the guest room.

When the space shifts later, the Marquis's senses will also be obscured by his spiritual energy.

Faced with the Marchioness, who was as ripe as a peach, Rosen unceremoniously pulled her into his arms.

Moments later, the Marquis de' Marquis couldn't help but scream loudly.

Through close contact, Rosen quickly ascertained the Marquis's rank.

She is a Sequence 6 wizard, and a rare mind wizard.

Therefore, his mind-reading was ineffective against the Marquis de Rais, and it was not so simple to uncover the Marquis de Rais's schemes from her.

It seems that if the soft approach doesn't work, we'll have to resort to the hard one.

Rosen didn't wait for his self-portrait clone to finish painting or set up a fake guest room. He directly led the Marquis into the Void Gallery. The Marquis, who was screaming loudly, looked at Rosen in shock, unable to believe that the hunter had become a painter.

The Marquise realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, but Rosen simply released a series of nightmare shackles.

The Marquis's limbs were bound and her spirit was sealed, giving her no chance to struggle.

Rosen, accompanied by the despairing Marquis, arrived at the painting "Glory of the Vampires" to activate the entrance to the Spirit Realm.

In the vampire castle of Chaohu City, Farah Simmons, who was drinking tea, looked at Rosen, who had teleported in front of him, with a dark expression.

"I won't do that with you."

Farah looked at the miserable Marchioness and shook her head resolutely.

"do not worry."

Rosen chuckled dryly and led the Marchioness to the tea table in front of Farah.

"Someone is trying to scheme against me and help me dig out this mind wizard's memories."

Rosen said as he put on his clothes.

Farah disgustedly scratched the Marchioness's neck with her fingernail, put a drop of blood into her mouth, and closed her eyes.

The Marquis's blood instantly boiled. The mind wizard was focused on protecting the memories, and even Farah had difficulty digging out the memories hidden within the Marquis's spirit. However, memories do not only exist in the mind; with blood as a medium, it is possible to bypass the spirit and dig out memories from the brain.

"Marquis Reiss isn't after your Beastmaster skill crystal..."

Farah said unexpectedly after sorting through the Marchioness's memories.

"If it's not a skill crystal, does it mean they've got their eye on me?"

Rosen asked in surprise.

"I really have my eye on you."

Farah stepped forward, lifted Rosen's chin, and smiled charmingly.

"Seriously, what exactly happened?"

Rosen slapped Farah's hand away and asked seriously.

"The good-for-nothing only son of Marquis Reiss has foolishly fallen into a special spiritual realm..."

Farah explained.

"So that's what happened."

Rosen frowned.

According to the memories that Farah unearthed, when Marquis Reis traded with him in the virtual network, he asked to see the skill crystal. This request was reasonable, so he checked the skill crystal through the virtual network login device.

It must have been around that time that he was chosen by the Marquis of Reiss.

Marquis Reiss's only son is a genius, but he has been spoiled since childhood and is somewhat arrogant. Not long ago, he entered a very dangerous spiritual realm within the Reiss family's inherited spiritual realm alone and has been trapped inside ever since.

That spiritual realm is at Sequence 6, but it's impossible to conquer without the strength of Sequence 5.

As the chances of survival dwindled with time, Marquis Reiss unexpectedly discovered his bounty on the virtual network.

The skill crystal dropped by the Sequence 6 Beastmaster is extremely rare. If a Sequence 6 hunter who possesses such a skill also possesses the ultra-rare skill passed down from the Reis family ancestors, such a Sequence 6 hunter would definitely have a chance to enter that spirit realm and rescue their only son.

But here's the question: why would perfectly good strangers risk going to that spirit realm for their only son?

So after discussing it, the couple decided to sacrifice the Marquis's wife to find something to use against him.

"Tell me about that spirit realm?"

After understanding the cause and effect, Rosen asked curiously.

"That spiritual realm is called the Void Prison, the prison of the prison..."

Farah brought up that spiritual realm and gave a solemn reply.

After learning about the Void Prison, Rosen understood why Marquis Reiss was willing to sacrifice even the Marquis's wife.

Because getting a Sequence 6 entry into the Void Prison is not something that can be achieved through bribery alone.

The Void Prison is a spiritual realm that originated from a historical trace from 30,000 years ago.

At that time, the God of Thunder had not yet reached Sequence 0, and the Church of Thunder was not yet the overlord of this continent.

At that time, many churches vied for faith on this continent, and the Void Church was one of the Thunder Church's biggest rivals.

The Church of the Void believes in the Lord of the Void, and the church's tenet is that all beings are sinful.

The Church of the Void has no churches, only individual Void Prisons.

Then they would capture intelligent life forms everywhere, throw them into the Void Prison, and imprison and torture them in unimaginable ways.

Ultimately, all the prisoners were either tortured to death or driven mad and turned to faith in the Void Ruler.

So don't be fooled by the fact that Marquis Reis's ancestral Void Prison Spirit Realm is only a Sequence 6 Spirit Realm, and its inner Spirit Realm world is also only a Sequence 6 Void Prison, but it also contains the divine power of the Void Ruler. Even a Sequence 5 might not be able to come out of this Spirit Realm alive.

Such a dangerous spiritual realm is something the Marquis Reiss family is not qualified to control.

However, human greed is insatiable; they always hoped that a genius would emerge from the younger generation to conquer this spiritual realm.

As it turns out, there are geniuses, but they are not qualified to take down the Void Prison.

After considering for a moment, Rosen decided to enter the Void Prison to have some fun.

Whether or not Marquis Reiss saves his only son depends on his mood; the key is that he wants to completely conquer and control this spiritual realm.

Under normal circumstances, such spiritual realms, born from historical traces of foreign civilizations, cannot be completely controlled by humans.

However, for him, it might be possible to control that spiritual realm from a different perspective.

First of all, that civilization has been destroyed, and the historical traces it left behind have all turned into spiritual realms.

If the Void Prison is completely destroyed, its last glimmer of light will be extinguished, and it will be burned to ashes by the backlash of the flames of civilization. Then, he can rekindle the embers with the flames of miracles and the pile of firewood, thus giving the Void Prison a new life.

By leveraging the transformation between life and death, Rosen was confident that he could completely control the Void Prison.

Having made up his mind, Rosen returned to his room in reality, pushed open the door, and went directly to Marquis Ross's study.

Marquis Reiss, who was lost in thought in his study, was slightly taken aback when Rosen pushed the door open and entered.

"Give me the skill crystal, and I can enter the Void Prison."

Rosen stated bluntly.

Where is my wife?

Marquis Reiss, shocked, couldn't help but ask.

“If I die in the Void Prison within my divine realm, she won’t live either.”

Rosen laughed threateningly.

Marquis Reiss realized that Rosen knew everything about his and his wife's scheme.

The good news is that, knowing the extent of the danger in the Void Prison, Rosen did not back down.

The bad news is that the lady has been taken hostage and imprisoned in the Divine Realm, and may die in the Void Prison along with Rosen.

Ultimately, his son was more important. After a moment's thought, Marquis Reis took out a skill crystal.

Rosen picked it up, examined it, and refined it on the spot, gaining another skill without a level.

[Void Gun Dance: Inherited Skill]

[Passive Attribute: Passively increases the base damage and rate of fire of Hunter-sequence firearms by 100%]

[Active Skill: Void Blink - Blink freely as far as the eye can see]

[Active Skill: Judgment - After successfully hunting prey, the spirit of the prey captured is transformed into Judgment series bullets]

"I've acquired the inherited skill Void Spear Dance..."

Rosen excitedly sensed the skill attributes.

Since its advancement, Void Shadow has further enhanced its stealth capabilities, but its teleportation ability has actually weakened.

There is always a trade-off; Void Concealment wasn't originally a dedicated teleportation skill.

Therefore, he had been considering whether to acquire a powerful, ultra-high-speed mobility ability in Sequence 6.

He personally came to the Marquis of Reiss's house to complete the transaction because Void Gun Dance was just too tempting.

First, the base damage has been increased, making it comparable to top-tier Sequence 6 skills.

It also comes with two active skills. Rosen tried Void Blink, and his afterimages kept appearing in every corner of the study. There are many skills that can achieve similar teleportation speed, but Void Blink, which comes with Void Gun Dance, has extremely high priority.

Skills like teleportation aren't particularly popular in the Hunter tier.

Because everyone knows that spatial teleportation is so convenient—it can be used for both offense and defense—there are also many ways to counter spatial interference.

The teleportation of Void Shadow will be delayed by up to one second when facing spatial interference at Sequence 5 level.

In battle, a single second can determine life or death.

However, Void Blink of Void Gun Dance can completely ignore spatial interference below Sequence 3 due to its skill priority.

This alone is a god-tier skill in actual combat.

Furthermore, Void Shadowmeld and Void Blink are two skills that can be combined and released by relying on the power of the void.

By unleashing both abilities simultaneously, Rosen will become an unseen ghost hunter. Void Blink is already powerful, but the core of Void Gun Dance is Judgment.

The higher the sequence, the lower the dependence on the body.

Because spirituality is fundamental, if a high-sequence body is killed but the spirituality escapes, the enemy can easily recreate a body. Therefore, only by completely destroying the spirituality can a high-sequence body be completely annihilated.

The judgment can capture the enemy's spirit, which is equivalent to directly causing real damage to the enemy's spirit.

Inherited skills are skills created by high-ranking hunters that are closest to divine authority. They can almost be said to be the prototype of divine authority. To create such a skill crystal, a demigod hunter needs to permanently strip away a part of his own power.

Moreover, even if a skill crystal with an inherited skill is created, it is impossible to refine the inherited skill without mastering divinity.

"Take me to the Void God Prison Spirit Realm."

Rosen urged with satisfaction.

Marquis Ross led Rosen to a secret chamber beneath the castle, filled with seals. The only thing in the entire chamber was a statue of the Void Ruler, which was the vessel for the Void God Prison Spirit Realm.

“Smear your blood on the idol.”

Marquis Reiss revealed the method to enter the spirit realm.

This was the same method Rosen had learned from the Marquis's memories, so he drew his Dragon Fang Dagger, cut his finger, and touched the center of the statue's forehead. The statue, which had been lifeless, instantly came to life.

"You are guilty."

The statue then initiated a spatial teleportation to Rosen.

In a flash, Rosen found himself in the Void Prison, inside a cell that was only one square meter in size.

Not only is it only one meter wide, but it is also only one meter high.

Inside the prison, one can only sit or curl up in a ball to barely get any rest in the cell.

Rosen sensed that all of his abilities were sealed except for a few; the rest had been sealed by the Void Prison.

Aside from divine power, he can currently only use a few abilities such as Ash Curtain, Time Archer, Void Gun Dance, and Beastmaster's Wrath.

Rosen did not rashly break out of the prison; it was wise to be cautious when necessary.

Release an Ash Bee, which disappears into the shadows of the void. The Ash Bee immediately uses Void Blink to appear outside the cell and then silently explores this legendary Void Prison that terrifies countless extraordinary beings.

A corridor tens of meters wide, with individual one-cubic-meter-sized cells suspended on both sides of the corridor.

These cells were suspended in mid-air by chains, and the corridors were only about ten meters high.

Inside the cells were large numbers of humans, many of whom were dressed in the attire of the Thunder Church. Clearly, during the struggle for faith between the Void Church and the Thunder Church, some of the Church's extraordinary members had been captured and imprisoned in the Void Prison.

Rosen counted that there were 3,000 cells in this 5,000-meter-long corridor.

Then, on either side of the corridor, one end leads to the jailers' rest area, and the other end leads to the punishment area of ​​the Void Prison.

First, Rosen infiltrated the residential area, where he discovered a monster.

His ears were cut into flower shapes, his eyelids were removed, his nose and lips were cut off, and his ten fingers were reduced to less than one centimeter in length. His body was covered with countless scars, and some of the wounds even revealed his rotting internal organs.

The monster is still alive, but it looks like it has suffered a mental breakdown.

Rosen looked closely and realized that this appeared to be Anthony Reiss, the only son of Marquis Reiss.

The person is not dead yet, but there is not much difference between them and being dead.

He must have been subjected to countless tortures in the punishment area before struggling to escape to the guards' rest area.

Judging from the condition of the rest area, it was cleaned very well and no one lived there.

The historical traces carried by this spiritual realm should date back to the late period of the Church of the Void, after the guards of the Void Prison had been withdrawn. Otherwise, Anthony would probably not have been able to escape the disciplinary zone at all, let alone survive to this day.

The Ash Bee looked at Anthony, and the Ash Curtain seeped into Anthony's spirituality, beginning to capture surface memories.

As expected, the Void Prison no longer has any jailers, but there are even more terrifying beings here.

The divine power left behind by the Void Ruler in the Void Prison actually combined with the Void Prison to give birth to a special life.

This being calls himself the Punisher, and his daily routine consists of interrogating and questioning prisoners.

As the only new prisoner, Anthony became the focus of the Punisher's interrogation. The Punisher could even reset the timeline of the Spirit Realm on its own while preserving his memories. Moreover, after resetting the Spirit Realm, Anthony's state would return to the state he was in when he first entered.

Then, after endless interrogation and torture, they deliberately gave Anthony a chance to escape to the guards' rest area.

Anthony has been tormented for six rounds, and his spiritual consciousness is on the verge of collapse.

If this continues, they will soon be driven mad by the torment and then convert to the faith of the Void Ruler.

If left unchecked, Anthony will be allowed to leave this spiritual realm.

Who knows, Anthony might rebuild the Church of the Void in an attempt to resurrect the Void Ruler.

At that time, the entire Reiss family will be buried with them.

This is why Count Reiss was forced to offer up his wife in exchange for both persuasion and coercion.

If Anthony isn't rescued, not only will they lose their only son, but their entire family will be wiped out.

This kind of spiritual realm involving Sequence 0 is something that even a ducal family might not be able to grasp, let alone a marquis family.

Rosen used the Ash Bees to release the Gluttonous Nen Beast, which opened its mouth and swallowed Anthony whole.

After retrieving the Ash Bees, Rosen instantly teleported out of the cell.

The Void Prison's mere Sequence 4 spatial seal is no match for the Void Flash's spatial priority.

When Anthony disappeared, the Punisher had already left the Punishment Zone.

Upon seeing Rosen face to face in the corridor, he immediately realized that a newcomer had broken into the Void God Prison.

The Punisher did not attack immediately, but instead cautiously observed the human opposite him.

Under his disciplinary interrogation, Anthony confessed in detail how many times he had wet the bed as a child.

The Punisher naturally knew that the Void Prison Spirit Realm had fallen into the Marquis of Reis's home.

This unfamiliar human, being able to enter the Void Prison under these circumstances, certainly wasn't there to die like Anthony.

Through Anthony's memories, the Punisher clearly understands how terrifying the human world government is.

"If you won't make a move, then I will."

Rosen instantly pulled the Dragon King's Wrath, which had been transformed into a shotgun, from the holster on his hunting belt.

The wings of the feathered serpent god appeared on his back, signifying the transformation of spirituality into divinity.

Not only can it resist the Void Prison's seal on spirituality, but it can also add the damage of Dragon King's Wrath to the armor penetration of the gold element and the speed of the light element.

The moment the Dragon King's Wrath was pointed at the adjacent cell, it had already unleashed six consecutive shots of mantras, like a shower of celestial flowers, using the divine power of the Morning Star.

These psychic projectiles are all composed of highly compressed enhanced psychic energy.

Dragon King's Wrath increases base damage by 160%, the Godslayer Spear and Crossbow integrated into it adds 50% base damage, plus Void Spear Dance's 100% base damage, and Ash Armor Break's additional 230% base damage, resulting in a base damage increase of 540%.

If Rosen unleashed this round of psychic bullets, few Sequence 6s could withstand it head-on.

Not to mention that these prisoners were deprived of their supernatural powers and were all tortured to the point of near death.

The cells on both sides were so close together that dozens of prisoners were shot dead in one round.

These prisoners are mostly Sequence 6, each with a lifespan of several hundred years. The Time Hunter skill captures the power of time, bringing the Time Dragon Crystal's reserves close to four thousand years of time power.

Not satisfied, Rosen fired two more rounds of shotgun blasts in less than a second, killing over a hundred prisoners.

The Time Dragon Crystal had accumulated its lifespan of ten thousand years to its limit, and at this moment, the Dragon King's Wrath transformed into the form of a sniper rifle.

The Time Sight was aimed at the Punisher, and a Dragon King Roar bullet, powered by the Future Silencer, appeared a tenth of a second later, striking the Punisher who was rushing towards Rosen as he sensed danger.

The Dragon King's Roar accelerated the passage of time, causing the Void Defense Shield deployed by the Punisher to disappear instantly.

Then came the second shot, this one imbued with the power of ten thousand years, which struck the Punisher.

A thousand years of lifespan vanished in an instant. Although the Punisher did not die, he gained a thousand years of blank memories in an instant. Whether it was torturing Anthony or discovering the human opposite him, it was all a distant memory from a thousand years ago.

Therefore, the punisher's mind became confused, and he stopped trying to recall memories from a thousand years ago.

Rosen didn't stop. He used the Void Flash to create distance, and the Dragon King's Wrath transformed into a shotgun once more, killing the surrounding prisoners.

In less than two seconds, the empty Time Dragon Crystal was once again filled with the power of time.

Rosen sniped the Punisher twice more, causing the Punisher's lifespan to decrease by another thousand years.

Although the two thousand years of blank memory truly threw the punisher's mind into chaos.

However, his self-awareness is still very clear. The Punisher can realize that his lifespan has disappeared by two thousand years. If he were to have another chance, even though he is a divine life form created by the power of the Void Ruler, the lifespan limit of Sequence 6 would be less than three thousand years.

The Punisher is still unable to clear his confused mind, after all, it is not easy to find memories from two thousand years ago.

However, the Punisher still relied on instinct to unleash the Eye of Punishment, a skill mastered by the Punisher sequence.

The Punisher merely glanced at Rosen, instantly making him understand what it felt like to be skinned alive and ripped apart for a thousand years without sleep.

The pain was so intense that he could barely hold onto the Dragon King's Wrath, and his consciousness was even becoming hazy.

At the critical moment, the Dragon King's blessing began to dispel the negative damage to the spirit. Rosen barely managed to fire two bullets that hit the Punisher. The Punisher, who had lost three thousand years of lifespan, instantly exhausted his lifespan, and the divinity in his soul was also captured by the judgment ability of the Void Gun Dance.

In just five seconds of combat, the Punisher hadn't even gotten close to Rosen before he was shot dead.

Rosen realized that his Hunter Sequence combat ability was no less than that of a Sequence 5.

Aside from the Beast King, there are probably not many Sequence 5s who can make him feel threatened anymore.

Rosen opened the artist's magazine and took out the Judgment Bullet, which was transformed from the divine nature of the Punisher.

The Judgment Bullet is transformed from the divinity of the Punisher, so it has an extremely high damage bonus against spirituality. If you are willing to reduce this damage bonus against spirituality, you can also use the Judgment Bullet to replicate a random skill mastered by the Punisher.

If you had two or three of these bullets, you could kill the Punisher in a few shots without shortening his lifespan.

It's important to understand that not every environment allows him to easily massacre so many unresisting Sequence 6 prisoners, let alone easily obtain tens of thousands of years of time power. Therefore, Rosen plans to hunt down as many Punishers as possible in the Void Prison to collect Judgment Bullets.

In fact, hunting down prisoners in jail can also capture spiritual beings to generate judgment bullets.

However, these prisoners were tortured to the point of near death, and their spirituality had long since dimmed like an oil lamp about to burn out.

Even if you capture spirituality and transform it into Judgment Bullets, the quality of the bullets obtained is still inferior to the Sequence 6 Extraordinary Bullets purchased in bulk.
However, even a few mosquitoes are still meat, so Rosen still shot and killed all the prisoners in the Void Prison.

At this point, life within the spiritual realm was extinguished, and the Void Prison spiritual realm had to be forcibly restarted.

Rosen immediately opened the mysterious study and hid inside to wait for the spirit realm to restart.
