Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 184 Bloodline Devouring Ritual and Lord Wars
Chapter 183

"So that's how they found me."

Rosen looked at the information obtained from the hacking of the main god's computer and sneered.

The information in the spirit world's deep web is as vast as the ocean, and intruding into the main god's computer without a specific target is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, once a specific target is identified, almost all traces in the deep web of the spirit world will be uncovered.

Sahisser Coburn, the consort of the Wood Elf Queen.

He was still imprisoned by the Wood Elf royal family. Out of respect for Alicia, the Wood Elf Queen did not kill him directly, nor did she exterminate the Köppen family. Instead, she expelled them from the Wood Elf Duchy.

However, failing to eradicate the root of the problem resulted in the Kurben family siding with the Moore family.

They then analyzed that he was the outsider who made the Moore family a laughing stock. Ultimately, he relied on the bloodline of the same origin in his body to track down Alicia, which allowed him to set a trap ahead of time, waiting for Alicia, who was riding a mechanical mount, to walk into the trap.

Having learned her lesson, the Wood Elf Queen will surely not be merciful again.

Since it really is the Moore family, then after so much time has passed, the demigod gourmet of the Moore family must have arrived as well.

Even a simple Wood Elf Queen would likely be doomed if she came.

However, as long as he knows who the enemy is, Rosen is confident he can launch a counterattack.

Rosen logged into the Spirit Realm Deep Web using the Star Emblem, then logged into the Noble Council, and applied for a glorious blood war against the Moore family as a hereditary duke. This was a war between nobles who had formed a life-and-death feud under the laws of the World Government.

However, the Glory Bloodbath cannot be applied for casually; only the victim can apply voluntarily.

If the perpetrator is the one committing the crime, the World Government will not allow two hereditary dukes to engage in a bloody, relentless war of annihilation without justification.

Rosen's application was quickly approved, and he was able to participate in the three-year Glory Bloodbath.

Because the Noble Council, through the Spirit World's Deep Web, discovered the Moore family's commission to hire a demigod assassin to kill him.

The world government is too large to notice many things without special investigation.

However, once a specific target is identified for investigation, everything that happens in the Deep Web of the Spirit World cannot be hidden from the World Government.

Shortly after the application for the Glory Blood War was approved, the current hereditary duke of the Moore family was notified.

Rosen immediately picked up the Void Album and offered a reward via the Spirit Realm Deep Web for photos of all direct descendants of the Moore family.

The bounty was not difficult to offer but the reward was high, and soon someone accepted it.

The longer a hereditary noble family has existed, the wider its network of connections will be, but it will also accumulate more and more enemies.

The Moore family's business is booming and expanding, but the new profits won't just fall from the sky.

Rosen looked at the five photos in his hand and was quite surprised.

The current Duke of Moore's father was only a Sequence 4, and had long since relinquished his dukedom to seek further opportunities on the front lines.

Therefore, counting from the current Duke of Moore, only four generations of direct descendants extend from him.

However, after four generations of descendants, there were only four direct descendants?

This does not mean that Duke Moore's descendants had only one child per generation, but rather that only the eldest son of each generation could be promoted to the noble sequence, open up the divine territory at sequence 6, and obtain the direct right of succession.

As for the other second sons and daughters, obtaining a lower-ranking, non-hereditary title is not difficult for a hereditary ducal family.

However, without exception, Duke Moore's two second sons and one second daughter did not switch to the noble class. Instead, they switched to one of the five common classes and eventually chose to join their elder brother's divine territory and were conferred the title of hero.

This approach, within the aristocratic class, represents the ultimate elite route.

The advantage is that resources are concentrated, allowing for the maximum development of the divine domain of each generation of direct heirs.

Moreover, the sisters and brothers who are conferred the title of hero can become the biggest helpers to the direct heir, preventing brothers from fighting each other.

However, this also resulted in a small number of direct heirs, as the death of even one meant the end of an entire generation.

Rosen opened the Void Sketchbook and quickly finished four portraits.

Once he finished painting, he immediately used Death Judgment to cloak his self-portrait clone in the Grim Reaper's cloak.

……

The City of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Divine Wood Empire is ruled by the hereditary dukes of the Moore family.

The ancestors of the Moore family personally built the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Although it belongs to the Divine Wood Empire, everything in the city is controlled by the Moore family. The tens of millions of people in the city are all reserve subjects of the Moore family's various divine domain lords.

Despite the Moore family's deep heritage, there are only a few dozen direct and collateral relatives within the last five generations.

One reason for the exceptionally low birth rate is the death of collateral relatives throughout history for various reasons.

Although the major noble families have rules, even if there is a feud, the stronger cannot bully the weaker.

Otherwise, any Sequence 4 member going all out could easily wipe out the new generation of rival hereditary ducal families.

However, rules are often broken when faced with interests and hatred.

Upon receiving news of the glorious bloodbath, the entire Moore family immediately began an orderly evacuation.

Everyone gathered at the family castle, and after the defense system was fully activated, the four direct descendants led all the collateral descendants into the Beast King's Colosseum.

This is a miracle treasure of Sequence 3, and also the greatest treasure of the Mole family.

As long as Sequence 2 doesn't attack, the Beastmaster's Arena can guarantee the safety of its people.

Therefore, after Rosen tried again and again, he found that all the death sentences failed and no direct members of the Moore family were killed.

This is clearly a hiding place, a place beyond the reach of even the death penalty.

He continued to try to curse his collateral relatives, but they all escaped the death sentence.

Rosen's first thought was the Beast King's Arena, just like when he was hiding in the mysterious study. Now both sides were playing hide-and-seek, seeing who would find the enemy first. After considering it, he decided to sneak in and raid the enemy's base.

Rosen downloaded a photo from the deep web of the spirit world. The photo showed the Beast Festival, which takes place once every ten years in the City of Beasts.

So when he filmed the scene with a lot of people, he randomly picked a few and started painting portraits.

After finishing the painting, the true form donned the cloak of the Grim Reaper, cast the Death Judgment, and vanished into the consciousness of the person depicted in the painting.

He couldn't stop the members of the Moore family from hiding in the Beast King's Arena, but he couldn't stop him from entering the consciousness of an ordinary person through the Death Judgment. In just a few seconds, Rosen had already used the Death Judgment to reach the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, more than 100,000 miles away.

Rosen left the consciousness of the person in the painting and casually decomposed a golden apple created by Nen ability within that person's consciousness.

This person did him a great favor; absorbing the golden apple will surely awaken his spirituality and make his life much better.

Rosen used Void Shadow to sneak towards the Moore family's castle. At this time, the castle was already shrouded in layers of magical barriers, making it difficult even for a demigod to enter silently. However, the barriers were nothing in front of Sloth's Foot.

Rosen easily sneaked into the castle, but he searched quietly several times without finding where the Beast King's arena was hidden.
They captured several servants who were trembling in their rooms, but their mind-reading yielded no results.

The exact location of the Beast King's Colosseum is probably unknown to anyone except the direct heirs of the Moore family.

At this moment, Rosen thought of the remnants of the Cobain family.

Alicia is a Sequence 5, and she is protected by the fortune of the Wood Elf royal family, the blessing of the Ancient Tree of Life, and the protection of the Hero Altar. However, even so, the Korben family was able to find her through some of their bloodlines.

If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that this is definitely not something that can be done by ordinary means.

Rosen immediately took out the Void Sketchbook and began to draw portraits of all the members of the Cobain family.

With the power of the Time Drawing and the Ancient God's Ritual Artifacts, Rosen's drawing speed increased by a full 56 times.

So soon, more than a dozen portraits were completed. The remnants of the Korben family, who had been driven out of the Wood Elf Duchy, had no protection from the Beast King's Colosseum. Under the curse of Death's Judgment, the Death Scythe killed them one by one, and in a short while, only Sahisser Korben remained dead.

Sahise Coburn is not easy to kill; it's better to leave him to the Wood Elf Queen to execute personally.

Through the spirituality harvested by the death sentence, Rosen quickly uncovered the secrets hidden by the Cobain family.

After all, he was a hereditary duke, and Sahisser Coburn had been the king's consort for so many years, ruling the Wood Elf Duchy.

Therefore, the Kurben family actually has a very deep foundation, and has made many gains in the research on extraordinary bloodlines.

The Korben family are not half-elves, but rather possess elven bloodlines through their noble and extraordinary essence, so they are essentially human.

Although Alicia's mother was an elf and her father was human, her parents used elven blood when they conceived her, so Alicia was a pure-blooded elf with no human blood at all.

Logically, given that he carries elven blood, Sahisser Coburn's lifespan should be greatly extended.

So why does her lifespan have no advantage over a normal Sequence 4? The key lies in the fact that Alicia absorbed a lot of the life essence power of the elven bloodline when she gave birth.

This is the price of becoming a royal consort and a duke; one must always sacrifice something to enjoy power.

That's why the Wood Elf Duchy has three hereditary dukes, and the king consorts have almost always taken turns being chosen.

Sahisser had a poor relationship with his wife and daughters, partly due to his regret in his later years about becoming a royal consort.

However, becoming the king's consort was not forced by others. When he was young, he craved power and did everything he could to become the king's consort. When he got old and had enjoyed enough power, he began to cherish his life. He chose his own path, so why should he blame others?
Sahisser knew there was no going back now, so he tried every possible way to prolong his life over the years.

This included stripping away the elven bloodline that had lost a significant amount of its own life essence and then reintegrating it into a new elven bloodline with a vigorous life essence. Although they ultimately did not achieve sufficient results, they did gain some insights from the research process.

The Korben family discovered an ancient blood elf bloodline devouring ritual that allowed them to absorb the bloodlines of their parents and children to strengthen their own bloodline.

This ritual was extremely cruel, but it was also of a very high level, reaching Sequence 3. The difficulty of setting up such a ritual is unimaginable; the entire Kurben family exhausted their wealth and only managed to successfully set it up once.

Fortunately, once this ritual is successfully set up, it can be used many times before it breaks down.

Following the memories unearthed from his spirituality, Rosen quickly located the ritual array hidden by the Coburn family in a Sequence 5 spiritual realm. When he arrived, he had also captured a distant relative of the Moore family who was a collateral relative from a branch family outside the fifth generation.

Beyond the fifth generation, it only means severing kinship and emotional ties, not that blood ties are completely severed.

So after Rosen threw this person into the ritual array, he immediately found all the people with the same bloodline in the vicinity through the ritual array. Among them, 52 people with the same bloodline gathered together, which was obviously the specific location of the Beast King's Arena.

Rosen returned to the Moore family's castle and came to an ordinary wine cellar.

The location of the bloodline lock-on tracking is right here. Use Void Scavenging to directly collect everything in the wine cellar.

In the end, all the wine disappeared, leaving only an empty bottle in the cellar.

Rosen stepped forward for a closer look and discovered that it was actually a spiritual realm existing inside the wine bottle. The Gourmet Sequence could also create spiritual realms, but the creation was difficult and the cost-effectiveness was extremely low. However, the spiritual realms created all had special features.

Rosen integrated the power of greed into his own spirituality, transforming it into golden divinity, and began to forcibly refine the spiritual realm in his hands.

The bottle immediately began to fiercely resist. Duke Moore, who was still waiting to ambush Rosen, immediately discovered that the family's spiritual realm under his control was being forcibly refined. He didn't think about Rosen, but wondered if some old rivals were taking advantage of the situation.
He now has two choices: go back or stay.
Choosing to go back means giving up on trapping and killing Rosen, as so much time has passed and the Wood Elf Queen may already be lurking nearby.

He chose to leave at this time, and the demigod assassin he hired was likely no match for him.

However, we must not go back, as the family's spiritual realm and the Beast King's Arena cannot be allowed to have any accidents.

After careful consideration, Duke Moore decided to stay.

Rosen possesses a concealment technique that even two demigods cannot find. If such a technique were a treasure, it would be an extremely precious and powerful high-sequence extraordinary artifact, or even a high-sequence miracle treasure.

Duke Moore didn't want to let Rosen go, nor did he want to let go of that mysterious and unknown treasure.

So he decided to stay. As for the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, it seems he can only entrust a few old friends to help look after it.

……

Forcibly seizing a Sequence 3 Spirit Realm controlled by a demigod would be difficult even for another demigod to accomplish.

Even if Rosen possessed the power of greed, he wouldn't succeed in less than a few months.

However, refining just a little bit to create a small crack in the completely sealed spiritual realm, thus allowing the Lazy Foot to pass through the spatial barrier and enter the spiritual realm, is sufficient.

We can also scare them away and see if Duke Moore will come back immediately.

If Duke Moore chooses to return, he will retreat immediately, abandon the glorious bloodbath, and then look for another opportunity later.

If Duke Moore doesn't return, then he won't be so polite.

With the power of his Slothful Feet, Rosen forcefully broke through the spatial barrier of the Spirit Realm and entered.

The entire spiritual realm was filled with countless high-quality extraordinary plants used for brewing wine. Thousands of farmers were busy in the fields, and winemakers were dedicated to collecting brewing materials to produce various kinds of fine wines of extraordinary quality.

This is the true foundation that a hereditary ducal family should possess, but this foundation will eventually belong to him.

Rosen found the Beast King's Colosseum in the heart of the Spirit Realm.

This extraordinary structure is too eye-catching. The base covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters and looks like a severed hand without skin. Golden blood is still flowing from the broken wrist, and a huge wooden barrel at the bottom keeps catching this blood.

Then, in the palm of the severed hand, it grasped a head that looked like that of an orc, several tens of meters in diameter.

The head had no skin, and blood flowed continuously from it, which was absorbed by the severed hand.

After Rosen approached using Void Shadow Cloak, he used Lazy Foot to slowly pass through the spatial barrier.

He soon appeared inside the familiar Colosseum, but this time he was on the top level of the stands.

Inside the Colosseum, rows of newly built, exquisite houses were bustling with hundreds of people, seemingly preparing a barbecue dinner. They appeared completely unsuspecting, suggesting they were very confident that the place was safe enough.

Rosen opened the Void Album, and the time sketch enhanced his own time flow rate by 56 times.

He completed all 48 portraits of members of the Moore family's collateral branches in just half an hour.

Starting with the collateral relatives, Rosen cast Death Sentence curses on the spot, killing them one by one.

The first to die was the weakest fifth-generation collateral descendant, Sequence 9, and the scene descended into chaos the moment he fell.

In the next few minutes, 45 of the 48 collateral descendants of the Moore family had been cursed to death by the Death Verdict.

Only three survived, all of them Sequence 5. They were likely Duke Moore's eldest son, the two younger brothers and sister of Gourmet Capac Moore (Sequence 4), and only they could withstand the curse of Death's Judgment.

Rosen continued to curse and kill his direct descendants, but Capac Moore's eldest son survived.

However, the eldest grandson of Sequence 6 was cursed to death by the Death Verdict, while the great-grandson of Sequence 9 survived.

This left only three members of the Moore family's direct line, excluding Duke Moore, and only three of Capac Moore's younger brothers and sisters from the collateral line. Of the 52 people, only 6 survived, a result that nearly drove Capac mad.

Capac was well aware of the enemies his family would be facing this time.

The hereditary duke Rosen, a 6th-order rank, the Wood Elf Queen, a 3rd-order rank, and the unknown forces behind Rosen.

Given the Mole family's background, Capac doesn't believe the Mole family will lose.

As long as the direct and collateral branches of the family are carefully protected from being raided by the enemy, the Moor family is fully confident of a great victory.

However, right before his eyes, his most beloved grandson, along with almost all of his collateral relatives, died silently in front of him. With nowhere to vent his extreme anger, his whole body burst into flames and transformed into a giant fire phoenix.

Endless flames spread in all directions, engulfing the entire Beast King Colosseum.

Rosen's Void Shadow Cloak could no longer be used to hide; at this point, there was no way to conceal himself.

Rosen is certainly no match for Capac, but Alicia, now a hero, is capable of facing Capac head-on.

He directly projected the divine realm from his sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to bring the divine realm to life within the Beast King's Colosseum.

Seeing this, Capac, who was burning with anger, actually laughed.

If the murderer were determined to escape, given his ability to infiltrate the Beast King's Arena, he might not be able to stop him. However, once the murderer released the Divine Realm, it was easy to release it, but taking it back would not be so simple.

Capac also released his own divine domain, and the two divine domains collided and began to intertwine in space.

Finally, at the edge of the spatial barrier, a stable buffer zone is formed.

At this moment, Alicia was already riding the feathered serpent mount, followed by a thousand forest guards and a thousand forest mages.

The Forest Watchers were not used because these assassins excelled at pursuit and assassination rather than direct combat.

Alicia unleashes her hero aura, sharing a portion of her power with all the units behind her.

A thousand forest mages chanted spells simultaneously. In just two seconds, countless plants sprang up out of thin air within a radius of several miles of the buffer zone. Then, a forest mist enveloped the buffer zone, completely blocking the enemy's senses.

Just as Alicia was creating a favorable battlefield, Capac had already mobilized all the troops in his territory.

Moreover, he also had heroes; his three heroes were his two younger brothers and his younger sister.

Three heroes of Sequence 5, leading three thousand knights riding extraordinary flamingos, charged into battle.

Alicia saw the approaching 3,000 flamingo knights through the forest mist first.

A massive heatwave swept in, and three thousand flamingos were already unleashing large-scale fire-based war magic.

The three thousand knights who followed him, along with their flamingo mounts, were all Sequence 7.

Our two thousand Wood Elf troops were all Sequence 9 who had recently undergone class change.

A direct confrontation would only result in a crushing defeat, so Alicia immediately used her hero privileges to activate the Void Gallery that Rosen had lent her.

The Void Gallery was filled with endless spatial mist. This was not the spatial mist generated by the Sequence 8 Magic Altar, but the spatial mist released by the Magic Altar of Fairy Dragon Ball's Fantasy Armament upgraded to Sequence 6.

Unless one surpasses Sequence 4, or masters the means to control the spatial fog.

Otherwise, even facing a magic altar of sequence 6, one would be unable to escape the spatial interference of the spatial fog.

The three thousand flamingo knights lost their way the moment they entered the spatial mist. If it weren't for the hero auras they possessed that allowed them to barely distinguish friend from foe, they would probably have already lost their way in the spatial mist and attacked each other.

Seizing the opportunity, Alicia led the forest mages to cast the war magic Life Wither.

War magic is actually very difficult to master, especially shortly after your troops have been promoted.

However, Alicia also made a contract with a nature fairy, which allows her to directly control the nature fairy's divine authority. This is why she can perform the life-withering ritual spell on her own. All the forest mages under her command need to do is infuse the ritual spell with their own spirituality.

As the war magic withered life unfolded, all the plants previously created using plant magic withered and died.

Then, the natural destructive power generated by the withering of the plants began to transform into a magical torrent that swept over all the flamingo knights and their followers.

Alicia gathers a thousand Sequence 9 spirits to unleash the Life Withering spell, the magical power of which is equivalent to the skill damage of a Sequence 4 peak.

If Capac's three heroes could still command the Knights Squires, it wouldn't be difficult for them to rely on the heroes' war skills to block the Life Withering. However, the Knights Squires were scattered and disorganized due to the spatial fog.

In this situation, a single Sequence 7 is simply no match for the peak damage of Sequence 4.

Knights and flamingos continued to fall from the sky as dried corpses. Finally, after losing a thousand men, the natural destructive power of life withering away was exhausted. Capac's face twisted with heartache at the sight of the large number of deaths among his troops.
