Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 165 The Pirate King and the Blazing God's Descendant
Chapter 164

With his exceptional swimming skills, Assad managed to swim over a thousand nautical miles underwater in a single day.

It was late at night when he arrived at an island shrouded in ashes and drizzling.

When he finally arrived on the island, Assad collapsed on the beach, his body covered in wounds.
His entire body was covered in white wounds, and there was almost no blood flowing from the gaping wounds.

If it were just swimming, it wouldn't have made Assad look so pathetic.

The real danger lies in the extraordinary sea monsters that block his path in the deep sea; he survived only because he was familiar with the surrounding waters.

Assad took out a whistle and blew it loudly, then his will weakened and he could no longer hold on and fell into a coma.

Several pirate captains soon arrived on the island and took Assad back to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Assad regained consciousness in less than half an hour, and the injuries on his body had fully healed.

He was just a little anemic, and the doctor next to him was giving Assad a blood transfusion.

"what happened?"

"I can't breathe," Clement, the pirate captain, asked in a deep voice, puffing on his cigar.

"We've run into a tough opponent..."

Assad angrily recounted his ordeal.

"The painter of Sequence 5..."

Pirate captain Clement stated his assessment uncertainly.

In his view, a Sequence 6 painter could not possibly manipulate storms and thunder of that scale.

Just as Pirate Captain Clement was asking for more details, trying to accurately determine the strength of the fat sheep before deciding whether to chase after it to plunder it or let it go, the number of pirates on the island had been dwindling without anyone noticing.

Rosen followed Assad to the island, but arrived there even earlier than Assad.

Then, with the help of the nature fairies, a gentle drizzle fell on the island.

There are many ways to make it rain, but without exception, pirate captains all have a deep understanding of the weather.

While it may be impossible to fully understand the ever-changing environment of the ocean, it is not difficult to distinguish whether a rain is man-made or naturally occurring.

However, the natural divine authority of the nature fairies was enough to prevent the pirates on the island from noticing anything unusual.

Holding the Dragon Fang Dagger, Rosen, accompanied by three water clones, stealthily infiltrated the island in the rain.

Upon seeing pirates, one would approach them face-to-face and imprison their spirits with an ash curtain, then casually toss them into the Void Prison.

Even if a different sequence 6 could instantly kill a sequence 7, it could only kill three or five, not thirty or fifty.

Because his spirituality couldn't sustain that kind of consumption, but he had a voracious appetite and was least afraid of consumption.

Those extraordinary individuals ranging from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, whether they were pirate captains or ordinary pirates and sailors, were successively captured and imprisoned in the Void Prison. Then, the ordinary people living on the island began to be imprisoned in large numbers.

Some of these ordinary people were descendants of pirates, while others were abducted to the island along with their ships.

Those who can be converted into subjects will be converted into subjects; those who cannot be converted will be released or sent on their way depending on the circumstances.

After capturing the last Sequence 7 sailor, Rosen walked towards the island's only hospital in the rain.

At this point, there was no one else on the entire island besides him.

Just as Rosen was about to storm into the hospital, a red-haired woman with a mask and a muscular body walked towards him in the rain.

He recognized her at a glance; she was Kaya, another vice-captain of the Giant Pirates.

This woman was extremely cruel and had a particular fondness for torturing and killing pirates who violated the pirate crew's rules.

So he was infamous on the island, but how did Kaya manage to find him?
Keep in mind that he is currently protected by the underwater invisibility of the Dragon Fang Dagger, as well as the Void Shadow and Void Boots' Void Concealment.

It's hard to believe that this could be so easily discovered by a sequence 6 without seeing it with my own eyes.

“I have a special talent for spotting you. If you go in like this, you won’t be a match for Clement.”

As she spoke, Kaya tore open her top.

Rosen's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the strange worm that had pierced through Kaya's chest muscles and was now heading straight for her heart.

The strange insect's tail was still wagging outside; he had seen similar injuries in books.

The most common novels in the Chiying Principality are pirate novels, and the most famous pirates in all of these pirate novels are known to everyone in the Chiying Principality, because they have appeared not only in novels but also in movies and TV series.

Ainz Ooal Gown, the Pirate King of the Abyss, is a legendary ancestor of the royal family of the Lord of the Blazing Shadows.

Legend has it that Ainz was originally just an ordinary fisherman who encountered a shipwreck and was swept into the Abyss Dimension, the legendary birthplace of demons and devils, by a naturally formed spatial wonder. There, he became a slave to the demons of the Abyss.

Suffering did not defeat Ainz; he stubbornly survived in the abyss.

Ainz's life after that was like a cheat code. He obtained the lowest-level Abyss Worm Demon bloodline, then continued to grow and had various adventures. Finally, he escaped the Abyss and returned to his homeland, eventually establishing the Blazing Shadow Pirates and becoming a generation of Pirate King.

Therefore, anyone who knows the origins of the royal family of the Blazing Shadow Kingdom can see that Kaya's body is an abyssal worm.

This means that the pirate captain Clement is very likely from the royal family of the Crimson Shadow Kingdom.

"It seems you know the Abyss Worm."

After Kaya closed her clothes, she said, "Don't underestimate Clement. He's not one of those collateral branches of the royal family who can't become nobles. He's the heir to the current Blazing Shadow Pirate King of the Blazing Shadow Duchy, and his status in the royal family is even higher than that of the newly promoted Sequence 3 king."

"How can this be?"

Rosen asked incredulously.

"The Blazing Shadow Family is not as simple as outsiders know..."

Kaya spoke resentfully about the secrets she had learned from Clement about the Blazing Shadow family.

The legendary pirate king Ainz possesses bloodlines that are not those of ordinary abyssal worms.

Rather, they belong to the bloodline of the legendary progenitor of the abyss worms.

Abyssal worms are the lowest-ranking demons in the abyss, and many abyssal demons do not even acknowledge that abyssal worms are demons.

Because in their view, the abyss worm is merely the embryo of a demon's birth, equivalent to one of the billions of seeds a man produces at once.

In theory, the abyssal worm can evolve into all abyssal demons.

However, in reality, the bloodlines of different demons within each abyssal worm vary in strength. The moment an abyssal worm is born from the abyssal blood river, it has already determined what kind of abyssal demon it will evolve into in the future.

However, the Abyssal Worm Progenitor is different; it can evolve into any Abyssal Demon at will.

Moreover, if they are not satisfied with their evolution, they can regress into an abyssal worm and evolve again.

Having mastered this bloodline, Ainz the Pirate King possesses the terrifying potential to evolve into almost any abyssal demon.

Otherwise, how could he have fought his way out of the abyss and become the legendary Pirate King who reached Sequence 3?

Ainz Ooal Gown did not die a natural death; instead, he disappeared again into the abyss.

However, the extraordinary bloodline of the Abyss Worm has been passed down. After the members of the Blazing Shadow Clan awaken their spirituality, they can use materials from different Abyss Demons to induce their own Abyss Worm bloodline to evolve into the corresponding Abyss Demon bloodline.

However, approximately every thousand years, the Chiying family would produce a being whose bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form.

The other members of the clan only possess the bloodline of the Abyss Worm, but this lucky member of the clan possesses the bloodline of the Abyss Worm Progenitor, and has the same terrifying growth potential as Ainz. Becoming a demigod is practically a certainty for him.

However, this bloodline appears only once every thousand years, and the current Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow, who has already seized power, is naturally unwilling to relinquish it.

If the bloodline of the Abyssal Worm Progenitor is allowed to grow, it will be enough to easily suppress all ordinary Abyssal Worm bloodline owners within the clan.

Therefore, every thousand years, the bloodline of the newly born Abyss Worm progenitor is secretly executed.

Clement was relatively lucky; his father was the current Grand Duke of the Blazing Shadow.

Confident in his ability to become a demigod, the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow showed no fear of Clement's potential and instead meticulously nurtured him.

Despite being only a Sequence 5, Clement is in no way inferior to the Beastmaster, who is also a Sequence 5.

Strictly speaking, the extraordinary bloodline of the Abyss Worm Progenitor is no less than that of the divine children of gods.

When Kaya was very young, she went to sea with her parents to do business, but was kidnapped by Clement, who was on his first voyage.

Kaya witnessed her father being killed and her mother being tortured to death by Clement.

For reasons unknown, Clement did not kill Kaya but instead adopted her.

When Kaya grew up, she became Clement's lover, and Clement was very fond of Kaya's muscular body.

As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company," and Kaya, who grew up in a pirate crew, had long forgotten the hatred of her childhood.

Faced with the reality that she was powerless to resist Clement, Kaya had already resigned herself to her fate.

However, just a few years ago, Clement parasitized Kaya's heart with an abyss worm.

From that moment on, Kaya had a feeling that Clement wanted to drain her of her value and kill her.

The ruthless Kaya was unwilling to die and silently endured the torment of the abyssal worms while waiting for an opportunity.

"So you want me to expose this secret to the World Government."

After hearing Kaya's explanation, Rosen understood what she meant.

Kaya nodded; she was determined to die together with Clement.

The nobles of the World Government can rely on their noble extraordinary essence to bear the extraordinary bloodline of the Abyss Worms, but they can never bear the extraordinary bloodline of the Abyss Worm Progenitor. Therefore, Clement cannot become a noble, and strictly speaking, he becomes less and less human as his bloodline continues to awaken.

Clement's transformation into a true abyssal demon was essentially his destined fate.

"My time is running out, you must sign this contract..."

As she spoke, Kaya produced a blank contract that had been witnessed by the Contract Spirit.

If Rosen leaves without reporting the secret to the World Government, the Contract Spirit will take his life.

If he refuses now, Kaya will alert Clement and have him killed here.

However, Kaya misjudged one thing: he was not afraid of Clement at all.

Indeed, Clement, a Sequence 5 dragon, is no less powerful than the Beastmaster and may even be more terrifying than the Bronze Dragon, which is subject to various restrictions.

However, Rosen is no longer the same person he was back then; he is now far more powerful than he was in the Time Dragon's Nest.

So Rosen accepted the blank contract and casually put it into the scavenging space.

“If you had Clement’s body tissue and belongings, I might be able to kill him before you,” Rosen said confidently.

Kaya gave the man in front of her a deep look, tossed a spatial ring to Rosen, and turned to leave.

Rosen's spiritual senses probed into the spatial ring, and there were quite a few things inside.

There was hair, nails, blood, skin flakes, and even a small bottle of the seed of the progenitor of the abyss worm.

It seems that these were things that Kaya and Clement secretly collected while they were together.

Curses and similar methods are always adept at achieving victory against the odds and mutual destruction.

Kaya could tell that he was truly confident he could kill Clement. Although she might not believe it in her heart, she was still willing to offer her help. After all, knowing how powerful Clement was, anyone who dared to keep him alive was either a fool willing to die or truly confident.

The person who could easily deal with Assad was clearly not a fool who didn't know his own limitations.

Regardless of who lives or dies in the end, Kaya won't suffer any losses.

Rosen took a drop of Clement's blood and used his innate skill of creating a human model to transform it into a control medium.

Then walk towards the wall facing the hospital, go around to the back of the wall, open the door, and enter the mysterious study.

Through the window, Rosen drew his Dragon King's Wrath and fired a shot.

The spatial elemental four-phase bullet formed by the compressed spatial holy fire, combined with the Holy Judgment, increases the base damage by four times.

The silencer fired a shot, and Rosen sheathed his Dragon King's wrath and waited silently.

Three seconds later, the spatial element quadratic bullet appeared out of thin air and struck the hospital.

The spatial flame of dual fission and fusion engulfed the entire hospital in a sea of ​​fire, causing spatial disintegration.

Except for Clement, who protected Kaya as she forced her way out, everyone else in the entire hospital was instantly reduced to ashes.

Clement appeared in a rage ten meters away from Rosen, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the attacker.

Kaya, still shaken, was also surprised that even with such a treasure, she couldn't find that person.
Just as Clement was preparing to indiscriminately destroy everything and force the hidden enemy out.

Rosen, standing by the window, had already secured Clement as a nude model through the media.

Clement was forcibly restrained on the spot, and then uncontrollably underwent a bloodline transformation, becoming an abyss demon.

After the transformation, Clement became a six-armed fire demon with six arms, demonic wings, curved giant horns on his head, and his body burning with abyssal flames. Among all the abyssal demons, he was considered a high-ranking demon.

However, no matter how Clement tried to manipulate his body, it moved uncontrollably.

Then, like a dog, it lay down on the ground, stuck out its tongue, raised its demon tail, and remained still.

"The mannequin is here; it's time to start drawing."

Rosen set up his easel, unfolded the Void Album, and then took out Clement's hair, nails, and the remaining blood. He used these, mixed with powder from the Abyss Wood, to begin making a special canvas, which he then incorporated into the Void Album.

He would buy and collect any extraordinary materials that could be used to make drawing paper, whenever he came across them.

The best material is actually Clement's hide, but now we can only use Abyssal deadwood as a substitute.

Kaya looked at the immobilized Clement and was eager to kill him with her own hands.

Rosen immediately used his spiritual communication to warn Kaya not to take action.

The restraining power of a human mannequin is terrifying, but it's not entirely without ways to break free.

The painter can break free of the model's control simply by inflicting some damage on the model.

If the painter were to take action himself, the control would be instantly released.

For any ability, at the same level, the more extreme the level, the more powerful it is.

There is no reason why a skill that pursues maximum damage should have lower damage than a skill that pursues both damage and control.

It is only possible to surpass the extremes completely unless the two skills are on completely different levels.

The goal of a nude model is to achieve ultimate control. The painter doesn't need the nude model to have powerful destructive abilities; all that's needed is for the nude model to control the enemy and obediently give the painter time to paint.

Rosen summoned a magic brush from his soul, picked it up, and began to paint earnestly using his drawing skills.

The six-armed fire demon gradually taking shape in the painting not only looks exactly like Clement, but even captures about 60-70% of his spirit.

Rosen put away the Void Album; he couldn't pose a fatal threat to Clement through the painting for the time being.

The essence of a spiritual realm is that spirit is primary and matter is secondary. Even a spiritual realm that can be fully controlled cannot completely escape its spiritual essence.

Rosen integrated the essence of the Void Prison Spirit Realm painting into his Mind Paintbrush, and then projected a portion of the Void Prison out of the window using the Ash Curtain. There, countless shackles fell directly above Clement, with pirates who had previously been captured hanging from them.

The Dragon King's Wrath targets Clement, and the Judgment Bullet, which deprives the Punisher of divine transformation, is chambered.

The future silencer locks onto Clement and is set to strike him after four seconds.

After the judgment bullet disappeared into the barrel, Rosen instantly infused it with spiritual energy, transforming the Dragon King's Wrath into a shotgun.

It transformed in a second, then locked onto the pirates hanging in the sky, and shot half of them dead.

The time power that the Time Dragon Crystal had just drained instantly filled the second Judgment Bullet injected into the gun barrel.

Rosen locked onto Clement again with the futuristic silencer; this Verdict Bullet would strike Clement two seconds later, along with the first Verdict Bullet.

Rosen continued shooting down the remaining half of the pirates, then channeled the power of time into the third Judgment Bullet.

No need for a future silencer, Rosen raised his gun, locked onto Clement, and fired a single shot.

Three Judgment Bullets appeared before Clement almost simultaneously, striking him without causing any physical harm, because the Judgment Bullets, without the random acquisition of skills, specifically target spirituality to inflict fatal damage.

Clement's lifespan instantly decreased by 2890 years, leaving him with only a mere year to live.

Clement's spirituality was instantly severely damaged to the point of near spiritual collapse when faced with three Sequence 6 Judgment Bullets.

Rosen then teleported to Clement's side, took out the Void Picture Book, and aimed it at the fallen Clement who was struggling in pain. The Clement in the picture reached out and grabbed the real Clement, forcibly pulling him into the picture and sealing him with the characteristics of the sealing painting.

Kaya stared in disbelief as Clement was sealed away, a chill running down her spine as she looked at Rosen in terror.

How did this man manage to capture Clement so easily in just a few seconds?
Is he really a Sequence 6, or a demigod hiding his true strength?

Rosen put away the Void Album and couldn't help but smile.

Don't be fooled by his four-second victory over Clement; he made a great deal of preparations beforehand.

Without Kaya's help, obtaining Clement's blood wouldn't have been so easy for him.

If it weren't for the Time Tower's ability to accelerate time, he wouldn't have been able to paint a high-quality portrait before Clement broke free from the mannequin's control. And if Void Prison hadn't been alive and controlling those pirates, he wouldn't have been able to instantly strip Clement of almost all of his lifespan.

Moreover, Clement was a pirate captain, and without a pirate ship, his strength would be reduced by at least half.

All of these factors combined made it possible for him to capture Clement alive without injury.

Rosen suppressed the arrogance rising within him and prepared to take over the island.

Kaya was very cooperative, even humble.

Her heart is also infested with abyssal worms, and Clement is sealed in Rosen's painting.

This means that Rosen indirectly controlled Kaya's life and death.

Having grown up in a pirate's lair, Kaya knows very well what to do when she is weak.

Rosen took Clement's Abyss pirate ship from the port. This was the pirate ship's real name. The Troll and the Troll Pirate Crew were just disguises. The Abyss was actually a pirate ship with a quality of Sequence 3.

Strictly speaking, the Abyss was far more powerful than the Quetzalcoatl on the high seas.

After all, the latter is a part-time super-powerful ship, while the former is a professional super-powerful pirate ship.

Rosen settled on the island temporarily, intending to first use mind control to completely subdue Clement.

With the acceleration of the Time Tower, Clement's spiritual self is being distorted and dominated very quickly.

Rosen repeatedly interrogated Clement using the Void Prison and took advantage of his weakness to read his mind.

Over time, he finally managed to uncover Clement's hidden memories.

Most of it was the same as what Kaya knew, but there were also some differences.

Clement is indeed the son of the current Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow, but Clement always believed that the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow had ill intentions towards him. However, powerless to resist, he could only obediently follow the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow's orders and strive to become the Pirate King.

Pirate Kings are not as simple as Sequence 3; all Pirate Kings must be titled demigods.

Grand Duke Blazing Shadow wasn't just daydreaming; Clement truly had the potential.

Firstly, becoming a Sequence 3 through bloodline is relatively easy, and secondly, the Blazing Shadow Clan possesses a special spiritual realm.

That is the spiritual realm formed by the story of the Pirate King Ainz Ooal Gown, and also the deepest foundation of the Ainz Ooal Gown family.

Throughout history, the powerful members of the Blazing Shadow Clan have produced painters, novelists, directors, and screenwriters.

In almost every branch of professions across the four major civilization sequences, members of the Blazing Shadow family have changed professions.

Many of them reached Sequence 4, and for these beings, creating a spirit realm was not difficult at all.

The reason why there are so many novels and films about the Pirate King Ainz in the Principality of Blazing Shadow is simply to provide better conditions for creating the Spirit Realm.

Over the course of 20,000 years, the Blazing Shadow Clan has created numerous spiritual realms related to the Pirate King Ainz.

This also means one thing: Pirate King Ainz has already fallen in the abyss.

There's even a theory that the generations of Abyss Worm ancestors whose bloodline reverted to its ancestral form are actually the vessels through which the Pirate King Ainz is constantly reborn.

This shows that the Blazing Shadow Clan craves the power of Pirate King Ainz, but does not want to see him resurrected.

The reason is not hard to understand: there is a custom in this world of severing ties after five generations.

The general idea is that blood ties extend beyond five generations, and the relationship between ancestors and descendants becomes very weak.

Even if the younger generation wants to curry favor with their grandparents, the grandparents are not willing to take care of the younger generation who are not close to them.

If you really want family ties, wouldn't it be better to have another biological child than to support those younger generations with whom you have an increasingly distant relationship?
Rosen looked down at the island beneath his feet; it was a moving island.

The spirit realm, which is closely related to the pirate king Ainz, is currently sealed deep within this island.

However, Clement's strength is still insufficient to enter this Spirit Realm, which is at the Sequence 3 level.
