Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 163 The Betrayal of the Jurist and Mind Control

Chapter 162

Rosen stood at the window of the mysterious study, watching the Void God Prison Spirit Realm slowly restart.

In order to speed up the restart of the spirit realm and reduce the damage caused by the restart, he even threw out a large number of time-attribute spiritual crystals through the window, so that the restart of the spirit realm was completed in less than an hour.

The Punishers and prisoners who were originally shot have been resurrected as the Spirit Realm has been reset.

Rosen didn't even leave the window; he simply held the Dragon King's Wrath out the window and began shooting wildly.

The Punisher, whose memories were restarted after the Spirit Realm was reset, was shot and had his lifespan of a thousand years diminished the moment he left the Punishment Zone.

Three shots were fired, and this time the Punisher was killed before he could even find the enemy.

Rosen once again emptied all the prisoners from the Spirit Realm, forcing the Spirit Realm to restart.

Nine restarts had already been completed, and Rosen found himself unable to leave the mysterious study.

Because his Spirit Realm level has dropped to Sequence 7, he can no longer enter the Void God Prison in his true form.

Fortunately, shooting through the window was still possible, and fortunately, the window had already been moved to face the rest area door directly opposite the penalty area.

Nine more shots and nine restarts later, the Void Prison successfully fell to Sequence 8.

Then, after nine shots in the third round, the Void God Realm fell to Sequence 9.

The lower the level, the easier it is to kill. It was only this time that Rosen realized how much the Mysterious Study was effective against the alien spirit realm.

Of course, the premise is that the space within the Spirit Realm cannot be too large, otherwise it would be difficult for him to kill all life in the entire Spirit Realm while hiding in the mysterious study, and then there would be no way to force the Spirit Realm to restart and rapidly downgrade again and again.

After the fourth round of nine shots, the Void God Prison Spirit Realm could no longer be restarted.

Instead, it began to collapse completely. The entire spirit realm was engulfed by the flames of civilization once possessed by the Void Church, burning the entire Void God Prison Spirit Realm to ashes before Rosen's eyes. The world, now reduced to ashes, began to fall into the deepest recesses of the spirit world, the Ruins of Civilization.

At this point, the ash world transformed from the Void God Prison Spirit Realm no longer rejects outsiders of any sequence level.

Rosen jumped out of the window and released the miraculous treasure, the Firewood Pile, which began to gradually transform the ashes of the entire spiritual realm into firewood. When not a single ash remained in the entire space, the space began to collapse.

Rosen put away the mysterious study and activated the Void Phase of the Fairy Dragon Balls without hesitation.

After entering the Fairy Dragon Ball eggshell space, Rosen immediately locked onto the spatial coordinates of the pre-positioned guest room in Marquis Reis's castle and began teleportation.

If he had left a few seconds later, he might have been swept into the depths of the spirit world and encountered great trouble.

However, due to the presence of a void phase, it was ultimately a close call.

Just as Marquis Reiss was feeling despair after discovering that the idol attached to the Void Prison had suddenly collapsed into ashes, he saw Rosen enter the secret chamber from the outside and collect the ashes of the idol. He immediately realized that Rosen had completely destroyed the Void Prison.

Entering to rescue people and then escaping is worlds apart from completely destroying the Void Prison in just a few days.

Marquis Reiss suddenly realized a possibility: could Earl Rosen in front of him be a descendant of the gods?

If they weren't descendants of gods standing behind them, how could they accomplish such an incredible feat?

Any remaining thoughts of revenge vanished instantly at that moment.

Rosen released Anthony, intending to settle the matter.

Although Marquis Reiss had ill intentions, he still obtained the Void Prison and the Void Gun Dance.

In addition, given the Marchioness's warm hospitality, he didn't necessarily want to exterminate them all.

When Marquis Reis saw Anthony's miserable state, he felt sorry for him and went forward to check on his beloved son's injuries.

However, at that moment, Anthony, who had suffered a mental breakdown, suddenly regained his senses.

In an instant, an iron spike emerged from Anthony's palm and plunged into Marquis Reis's heart, much to Marquis Reis's astonishment.

In the blink of an eye, Marquis Reiss, who had just reunited with his son, was already dead.

The floating island where the Reiss family was located instantly deployed a barrier to seal off both the inside and outside. The five wizard towers on the island were instantly moved to the vicinity of the castle, forming a pentagram magic circle with the five wizard towers as nodes to seal off the surrounding void.

Rosen turned around and looked at Anthony in surprise, not expecting that he had misjudged him this time.

His immediate suspicion was that a part of the Punisher's divinity was hiding within Anthony, manipulating him.

But then I thought, if the Punisher isn't dead, the Void Prison Realm won't reset again and again.

If one could simply hide inside someone's body and leave the Spirit Realm, then the Bronze Dragon wouldn't have been trapped in the Time Dragon Nest for 20,000 years.

Therefore, Anthony was not controlled by the Punisher; it was Anthony himself who just killed Marquis Reiss.

The only possibility Rosen could think of was that Anthony had been tortured by the Punishers and had become a follower of the Void Dominator.

It's no wonder that the punishers allowed Anthony to hide in the guards' rest area.

Marquis Reiss, who died with his eyes wide open, turned into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye, while Anthony's injuries disappeared completely at that moment.

“I will kill you and offer you to my lord.”

Anthony laughed wildly.

"We'll see."

As Rosen spoke, he drew the Dragon King's Wrath, preparing to finish off Anthony.

However, a judgment bullet struck Anthony, and Rosen's own spirituality was impacted by the judgment bullet.

Rosen then realized that he had overlooked something.

Anthony was a genius, which is why he dared to enter the Void Prison.

But just how talented Anthony really was, Rosen learned about the Marchioness's memories through Farah, and even saw some of Anthony's memories through mind reading in the Void God Prison, but he never knew what sequence Anthony belonged to.

It was as if some force was causing people to overlook the extraordinary sequence that Anthony possessed.

Just as Rosen was about to kill Anthony, an old man in a suit appeared out of nowhere next to Anthony.

"Teacher, please kill him for me."

Anthony said frantically.

The old man looked at Rosen and shook his head with some regret. "I can't kill him."

Anthony glared venomously at Rosen, while also looking at the old man with displeasure.

The old man took out a scroll, tore it to shreds, and vanished instantly with Anthony.

Only then did Rosen, who was on full alert, breathe a sigh of relief.

The being that Anthony referred to as his teacher was definitely not human, but a demigod from another race.

This alien demigod didn't make a move, which means he must possess special sensory abilities.

So, realizing that it was impossible to take him down in a short time, they immediately gave up and chose to take Anthony away.

After all, this is Thunder City. If we cause a commotion, not only will alien demigods suffer, but even alien gods will be in deep trouble.

After considering it for a moment, Rosen contacted Duke Milburn through the Spirit World's Deep Network.

This was the highest-ranking nobleman he knew in the Thunder Empire. Now that Marquis Reis was dead, his son had run off with a demigod from another race, and the Marquis's wife had been offended by him, if he didn't handle this properly, he might end up taking the blame.

Less than five minutes later, a squad of Storm Thunderbird Knights appeared outside the floating island of the Marquis of Reiss family.

These knights manipulated lightning to forcibly break through the barrier of the floating island and then continued to break through the spatial blockade of the wizard tower to enter the castle.

Rosen watched from outside the castle as these magical beast knights turned the entire castle upside down.

All the servants of the Marquis of Reis were lined up in the castle garden to undergo a physical and spiritual examination.

These monster knights were quite respectful to Rosen, the hereditary duke.

Rosen observed the investigation of these monster knights and roughly figured out what was going on.

Anthony was indeed a genius; he was a very rare jurist.

All jurists must join the World Government, whether they like it or not; it's mandatory.

Basically, no legal scholar would refuse an offer from a world government.

Because jurists excel at studying, formulating, and upholding legal principles, and the World Government is the legitimate ruler of human civilization, it holds the reins of human legal principles. Jurists who are separated from the World Government are merely figureheads.

If a deity violates the legal bottom line of the World Government, then even a Sequence 3 jurist can forcibly kill that deity.

Because legal scholars can directly mobilize the power of the flame of human civilization by relying on the legal principles established by the world government.

Therefore, legal scholars are extremely formidable, belonging to one of the core forces of world governments in maintaining their rule.

As the heir to the Marquis of Reis, Anthony wields absolute power within the family.

Therefore, all the servants on the floating island were instilled with the rule that they could not disobey Anthony's orders within the castle.

Over time, this created a weak legal system confined to the castle, giving Antony absolute dominance within its boundaries.

Rosen's shot was countered by the weak magic within the castle.

Logically, the birth of a jurist could not have been kept secret from the World Government, but Anthony's was indeed not registered.

This suggests that someone in the World Government's upper echelons concealed Anthony's identity as a jurist, and even colluded with alien races to guide Anthony to betray humanity. Given that the alien races went to such lengths to get rid of a jurist, it's clear they had a significant scheme in mind.

If Anthony hadn't recklessly run into the Void Prison, he would probably still be safely lurking in Thunder City.

Even if Marquis Reiss didn't ask him to enter the Void Prison, that alien demigod would probably find a way to get Anthony out.

So strictly speaking, Rosen's act of bringing Anthony out of the Void Prison was a meritorious act, not a fault. If it had been the alien demigods who had rescued Anthony, the World Government would probably still be in the dark, unaware that a legal scholar had defected to the alien race.

A few days later, Rosen, who was temporarily staying at the hotel, learned about the outcome of the matter.
The matter was temporarily put to rest, and the Leis family of the Thunder Empire abolished their titles thereafter.

The surviving marquises of Marquis Reis's ancestors are all likely to face investigations on the human border.

The Marquise was not imprisoned after the investigation.

Instead, she went with a secret department of the World Government. When they met for the last time, Rosen could sense, without even needing to read minds, the Marquise's hatred for Anthony and other races. It was clear that she had become a pawn of the World Government against Anthony.

Rosen had a feeling that he would definitely see the Marchioness and Anthony again in the future.

By then, he wouldn't give Anthony another chance to escape.

Although he has provoked an alien race this time, if Rosen had to choose again, he would still take the same path.

Because this harvest was truly amazing.

The power of the Void Gun Dance skill goes without saying, and the benefits gained from Void Prison are also extraordinary. Through the synthesis of images captured by the Hunter's Eye, Rosen combined all the Judgment Bullets of various levels obtained from hunting Punishers to Sequence 6.

9个序列9合成了4个序列8，然后13个序列8合成了6个序列7，最后15个序列7合成了7个序列6，再加上原本9个序列6的裁决子弹，罗森收获了16个序列6的裁决子弹。

Each one contains the divinity wielded by the Punisher and can be randomly imbued with one of the Punisher's skills.

Although these 16 bullets are only Sequence 6, when combined with Dragon King's Wrath, they are enough to pose a fatal threat to most Sequence 5 bullets.

In addition to these, Rosen also hunted down the Punisher a total of 36 times.

Among them, the Punisher fell below Sequence 7 27 times while following the Void Prison, without dropping any loot orbs, but only obtained a large number of low-level extraordinary artifacts from the Void Prison, many of which were obtained from hunting prisoners.

Rosen intends to use all of these thousands of extraordinary artifacts to arm his people.

The Void Prison fell to Sequence 6 and underwent 9 resets, so Rosen killed the Sequence 6 Punisher 9 times.

Five of these drops yielded loot orbs, while the remaining four autopsies yielded extraordinary source material and other extraordinary artifacts.

Rosen took out more than a dozen trophy orbs and crushed them all. There were a large number of high-grade spiritual crystals containing divinity, and many extraordinary artifacts of the Punisher sequence. However, only two things were truly useful to him.

One is the skill crystal, which is a hunter skill crystal born from the transformation of the hunting god's authority.

Through the extraordinary artifacts dropped by the Punishers, Rosen gained some understanding of the Punisher Sequence's abilities.

The core of the punisher has three aspects: arrest, punishment, and control.

This skill crystal is the Mind Control ability that only Punishers can master.

After considering it for a moment, Rosen did not hesitate to refine the skill crystal.

[Mind Control: Divine Power Skill]

[Passive Attribute: One's own divinity can permeate, corrupt, distort, and dominate the spiritual self of one's prey]

[Active Skill: Can instantly control a life form whose spirit is in a weakened state]

Having only been at Sequence 6 for a few days, Rosen had already mastered all three skills of the Hunter Sequence.

Moreover, all of them were special skills, and the fact that everything was going so smoothly made him a little uneasy.

With the Mind Control skill, the damage effect of Judgment Bullet can be maximized.

One can even use Nightmare Shackles, Ash Curtain, Beastmaster's Wrath, or Draw to cast Mind Control for even greater effects.

After familiarizing himself with the skill combination, Rosen picked up another piece of loot that would be useful to him.

【Primal Essence - Void Boots: Extraordinary Item】

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Attributes: Greatly increases movement speed, greatly increases Void Affinity]

[Source Abilities: Void Concealment, Void Walking, Void Blink, Void Roaming, Void Punishment]

[Equipment Requirements: Hunter Sequence 6]

After putting on the Void Boots, Rosen clearly felt his speed increase dramatically.

Moreover, the perception and mastery of space are all enhanced by the affinity with the void.

Void Concealment further enhances the concealment effect, Void Walk can be integrated into the void and ignore the influence of terrain factors on speed, Void Blink is the same as the Void Blink that comes with Void Gun Dance, and the combination of the two can further enhance the speed of Void Blink.

As for Voidwalking, it's a long-distance teleportation through the void.

Finally, Void Punishment banishes the prey to a pre-marked alternate dimension.

This means that there is no need for spatial traps to teleport; simply hitting the prey will forcibly banish it to the Void Gallery. Of course, combining the two would be even better.

Rosen adjusted to the increased speed and left Thunder City using Void Wandering.

Back in Frost City, Gray Rat continued his search for treasure deep in the snow-capped mountains.

The gray rat possessed the skill of treasure hunting, and he was certain that there was a great treasure deep in the snow mountain, but he couldn't find it no matter what he did. This made the gray rat feel as distressed as if he were being scratched by a cat. He was not willing to give up until he found the treasure hidden deep in the snow mountain.

Of course, Rosen's return to Frost City wasn't to fulfill Gray Rat's wish.

For some reason, he discovered that Frost City possessed a power that could calm people's hearts.

In the past, I only had a vague feeling about this, but now that my spirituality has undergone a transformation at Sequence 6, this feeling is becoming clearer and clearer.

So Rosen quite likes living here and plans to further improve his Nen abilities here.

He advanced to Rank 6, and his Nen ability also improved to LV4.

The essence of Nen ability is to manipulate one's own life force, combining spirituality to generate and control Nen energy.

The stronger one's vitality, the stronger one's Nen ability.

Rosen actually regretted mastering Nen, because the strength of Nen depends on vitality, and the human transcendent sequence does not place much importance on vitality, so his Nen ability has never been very strong among the skills he has mastered.

In order to enhance his life force, he even had to share his life force with the Nightmare Slime to strengthen his Nen ability.

It wasn't until he ate the golden apple that his vitality underwent a qualitative transformation.

However, this cannot change the fact that Nen abilities are inherently relatively weak within the transcendental sequence.

Rosen conducted a targeted study and discovered that this was a common problem for all life-related abilities.

Those who control life force are most adept at both healing and depriving life force.

Therefore, focusing on these two aspects is more promising for the future development of Nen abilities.

A few days later, Rosen easily developed his fourth specific Nen ability.

[Nen Ability LV4: Able to manipulate one's own life force (ki), combining spirituality to generate and control Nen ki]

[Enhanced Trait: Grants the ability to fuse various attributes with Nen.]

[Enhancement Feature: Can permanently consume Nen to strengthen one's physical body]

[God-Slaying Crossbow, Gluttonous Beast, God-Hunting Demon Eye, Golden Apple]

Rosen continuously compressed his spiritual energy, eventually exhausting almost all of it to create a golden apple.

The golden apple he materialized with his Nen was essentially a mutated copy of the real golden apple.

Rosen himself ate the Golden Apple, which instantly restored all his spiritual energy, instantly healed physical injuries, instantly purified negative spiritual damage, and even, in the future, when he became a demigod, the Golden Apple could slowly strengthen his golden divinity.

Besides its positive effects, the golden apple also has powerful negative effects.

In the blink of an eye, Rosen caused a terrifying poisonous apple to begin growing inside the golden apple. This poisonous apple was enough to corrode life force, worsen injuries, pollute spirituality, and even erode divinity in the future.

Rosen took a bite of the golden apple, and its powerful life force transformed into spiritual energy, which began to temper his body.

If you use your own spiritual energy to strengthen your physique, you will need to permanently consume your own life force.

However, by consuming the golden apple transformed from spiritual energy, one can continuously strengthen their physique without consuming their maximum life force.

The relationship between Nen and the Golden Apple is essentially the same as the relationship between flour and steamed buns.

This is equivalent to refining the energy of thought, thereby achieving a more powerful effect.

Having developed his new Nen ability, Rosen began developing Nightmare Shackles.

Like all other abilities, the LV4 Nightmare Shackles will undergo a qualitative change and gain enhanced characteristics.

[Nightmare Shackles LV4: Can manipulate spirituality to transform into Nightmare Shackles]

[Enhanced Trait: Nightmare Shackles possesses enhanced sealing properties]

[Enhanced Trait: Nightmare Shackles can be inlaid with Miracle Treasures to gain special effects]

The new enhancement trait, Nightmare Shackles, truly surprised Rosen.

He tried embedding the Dragon Blood Vial into the Nightmare Shackles, and the Nightmare Shackles gained a powerful restraining effect against dragon-like life forms, which was equivalent to further amplifying the power of the Dragon Blood Vial.

Rosen's hunter sequence has firmly established itself at sequence 6, and his transformed spirituality has also stabilized over the past few days.

Therefore, at this point, the painter's sequence is ready to be promoted to sequence 6 at any time.

However, it is best to rely on the Spirit Realm painting to reach Sequence 6, because every painter can bind a Spirit Realm painting they have created to their own extraordinary source quality the moment they go from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6, and then give the Spirit Realm painting the opportunity to grow along with the painter's sequence.

The painting Rosen is preparing to create this time is none other than the Void Prison.

First, the ashes from the Void Prison were transformed into firewood, and then the firewood was lit to illuminate the remaining light of civilization.

Finally, as the last glimmer of civilization is ignited, the newly born Void Prison is transformed into a painting of spiritual realm.

This way, Rosen won't have to keep extraordinary beings locked in the divine beast pen when he captures them in the future.

The Void Prison is more suitable for imprisoning extraordinary beings, while the Divine Beast Pen is more suitable for raising extraordinary beings.

Moreover, extraordinary beings suffer greatly in the Void Prison, which easily weakens their spirituality.

At this point, using mind control allows one to easily distort and control the spiritual self of this extraordinary being.

Rosen has figured it out; training his subjects from scratch isn't really his style.

Because he grew too fast, his people could not keep up with his growth.

However, considering the future, it is necessary to cultivate the people. After all, in the future, a country needs to be established and a faith needs to be developed. All of these require manpower that can be used by him. Therefore, capturing extraordinary beings and then brainwashing and controlling them can fill the gap in the growth of the people.

He learned this from the World Government, which did the same thing when the World Government was established.

Whenever a civilization is conquered, those that cannot be subdued are destroyed, leaving only those that can obediently be enslaved and controlled.

Even now, the World Government still controls a massive army composed entirely of alien superhumans.

Rosen took out the collected ashes, turned them into firewood, and threw them into the firewood pile.

The ash curtain reflects the last rays of civilization's ashes, and the magic pen, with its miraculous properties, begins to ignite the flame of civilization, passing it on forever.

The nascent flame of civilization has caused the void rulers recorded in the historical traces deep within the spirit realm to begin to revive.

After all, the Void Dominator is the source of this flame of civilization, and the rekindling of this flame signifies the resurgence of the Void Dominator.

However, in the next instant, Rosen used the Miracle Flame, the source of all civilization's flame, to swallow the newly lit flame of civilization whole, not only extinguishing the Void Dominator's hope for revival but also stealing the very foundation of the Void Church's entire civilization.

Rosen took out the mixed paints and began to paint a new Void Prison on the paper.
