Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 186 Discarded Bait and Primitive Laws

Chapter 185

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and collected the seawater after confirming that Capac had been completely decomposed at sea.

This seawater will be sent into the divine beast pen, where the nutrients it contains are enough to bring life to all things once the divine beast pen is ravaged.

Rosen released the troops sent into the Spirit Realm, as well as the extraordinary citizens sent into the castle.

Alicia immediately led her troops to attack Capac's divine territory. Now, without a lord's castle or a lord, the divine territory only had Capac's three Sequence 5 heroes left.

Alicia, leading the wood elves, easily took on three opponents without needing any help.

Three heroes without unit types are like toothless tigers, only slightly stronger than ordinary Sequence 5 heroes.

Rosen released a massive number of rats. Wherever these rats went, they dug up even the high-quality soil within Capac's territory. As long as it wasn't inseparable from the territory, Void Scavenging could collect all the loot over a wide area.

Half an hour later, Alicia had taken down three heroes, and Rosen had completely destroyed Capac's territory.

Apart from the empty shells within the spatial barrier, not even a clump of soil was spared.

At this moment, the elemental barrier of Lord Capak's castle inside the Gluttony Stomach also shattered.

Rosen entered the Gluttony's Stomach directly and quickly arrived at the space deep within the castle where Capak's Sequence Tree was located.

At this moment, beneath the Ancient Tree of Sequences, Capac is being reborn.

Beside the ancient tree, there were three guardian knights, one of them a Sequence 5 and the other two a Sequence 6. These knights, with their defense maxed out, would normally be so strong that even a single Sequence 4 knight might not be able to break through the guardians before Kapak was resurrected.

However, Rosen possesses the Ash Armor Breaker, making the Guardian Knights easy targets for him.

The Life Protection Barrier set up by the two Sequence 6 Guardian Knights could withstand the super strong defense of Sequence 4 for a short time. However, against the Dragon King's Wrath, just a few dozen Void Armor-Piercing Bullets had already torn through the Life Protection Barrier and killed the two Guardian Knights.

The final Sequence 5 Guardian Knight, with its desperate deployment, can withstand the life-protecting barrier of Sequence 3 for a period of time.

However, it only lasted for less than three minutes before the Dragon King's Wrath pierced through its Life Guard.

Rosen stepped forward and took out the Phoenix painting he had drawn earlier. Using the sealing technique, he quickly sealed the Ancient Tree of the Sequence within the painting. When he had time, he would use the Ash Curtain to alter Capac's memories and try to make Capac his puppet.

Rosen reclaimed his divine domain and reappeared in the Beast King's Colosseum.

Meanwhile, Capac's eldest son and great-grandson had already dispersed and fled.

Rosen sealed away the Beast King's Arena and then began hunting down the two who had escaped.

……

At the same time, Duke Moore realized that his eldest son had also died.

Having noticed the simultaneous deaths of many of his direct descendants, he already knew that someone had stormed the Beast King's Arena. However, the more he couldn't find Rosen, the more certain he was that Rosen possessed a great treasure, and the less he wanted to give up on seizing that treasure from Rosen.

Compared to the gains from capturing Rosen alive, the deaths of a few grandchildren could be remedied by finding a way to reproduce.

At worst, he can work a little harder and help Capac take care of his lovers in the future.

But Duke Moore never expected that even Capac would die at the hands of the enemy.

If he had known this would happen, he probably would have rushed back immediately.

But now that people are dead and so many have been sacrificed, he is even less likely to give up the treasure that Rosen possessed in order to make up for the losses.

He will extract the truth from Rosen's spirituality and then eliminate Rosen at any cost.

However, just as Duke Moore continued to try every means to capture Rosen, Rosen's clones, which appeared from time to time within the spatial barrier, suddenly disappeared. Not long after, he received a message from his great-grandson before his death.

For the next four generations, Duke Moore's favorite son, besides his eldest son, was this great-grandson.

Because he did not become a gourmet, a profession that the Moore family had held for generations, but instead became a jurist, a much rarer profession.

It is through the power of their great-grandson that the Moore family has been able to partially distort the rules set by the World Government over the years.

However, because he did not join the World Government, his great-grandson is still at Sequence 9.

Duke Moore only learned through the jurist's court summons skill that it was Rosen who attacked the Beast King's Colosseum. Unfortunately, the delivery speed of the Sequence 9 court summons was too slow, which is why he only found out now that Rosen had already escaped.

Enraged, Duke Moore broke through the spatial barrier and returned to the City of Beasts.

The demigod assassin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to retreat as well.

His intuition told him that a demigod was lurking nearby, most likely the Wood Elf Queen.

Now that Duke Moor is gone, he is left alone and may not be a match for the Wood Elf Queen.

However, thinking of the lost miracle artifact, the Twin Daggers, the demigod assassin had already made up his mind not to let Rosen go.

However, just as the demigod assassin was about to leave, three demigods suddenly surrounded him from three directions.

The Wood Elf Queen had been there for a long time. She didn't think she could defeat a human god-lord of Sequence 3 unless the battlefield was around the Tree of Life. So she immediately contacted two demigods who had business dealings with the Wood Elf royal family.

The Tree of Life can produce life essence, and Wood Elves are also excellent lovers or even partners.

The Wood Elf Duchy will not betray its people to other demigods, but sometimes demigods may come to the Wood Elf Duchy and, when they leave, use their charm to take a few Wood Elves with them. Those Wood Elves who yearn for the exciting life outside do not mind leaving with powerful humans.

Therefore, the Wood Elf Duchy has a wide network of connections, and in the absence of conflicts of interest, demigods rarely show hostility openly.

Even though the demigod assassin fled desperately, he was ultimately surrounded and killed by the Wood Elf Queen's arrows by three demigods.

When forced into a desperate situation, the demigod assassin had no choice but to deliberately shatter his twin daggers to increase his damage.

Rosen discovered that the twin daggers he possessed were beginning to regenerate, and immediately realized that the demigod assassin had been driven to the brink of death.

We just don't know if Duke Moore is dead or not.

Of the two who escaped, he only managed to catch up with the Sequence 9 jurist, Warren Moore.

As for Capac's eldest son, Willen Moore, he was rescued and became the only surviving descendant of Duke Moore.

Rosen has disbanded the self-portrait clone and summoned the mysterious study to his main body.

Moreover, its exact location is within the Moore family's castle.

If Duke Moore were to return alive, he would want to know what exactly was wrong with Duke Moore.

Although he escaped the Beast King's Colosseum, he even used Death Judgment to curse and kill some low-ranking nobles who spoke disrespectfully.

However, he used a double cover when he used Death Judgment: he hid his true self in a mysterious study and then used his role-playing ability to disguise himself as a self-portrait clone, so that he killed a group of nobles without receiving any punishment missions from the Ancient Tree of Noble Rank.

Even if the Moore family suspected him, why would they hire a demigod to fight to the death right away?
Hiring a demigod, doesn't it cost money?
So Duke Moor wasn't actually after him; he had his eye on Alicia from the very beginning.

But has Duke Moor gone mad? He has made an irreconcilable enemy of the Wood Elf Kingdom, and in the end, it will surely be the Moor family that is destroyed.

Unless the Moore family has powerful backers, targeting Alicia was not Duke Moore's original intention.

In less than an hour, Duke Moore had returned to Beast City.

However, Rosen had not even seen Duke Moore, as more than five demigods had already killed him in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Rosen stood by the window, looking at the attire of the five demigods, and immediately realized that the World Government Intelligence Agency was behind the attack.

He considered the possibility that Duke Moore might have been used as a pawn to test the World Government.

A hereditary duke of Sequence 3 is indeed very powerful; such a title is rare even among dukes.

But let alone Sequence 3, even Sequence 2, as long as one doesn't become a titled demigod, doesn't become the ruler of an empire, and doesn't wield a Sequence 0 extraordinary artifact, is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the World Government.

However, the World Government has laws and a Noble Council to maintain the rights and order of all nobles.

Unless Duke Moore does something reckless, the World Government has no chance of openly killing him.

Rosen sensed that a force within the Divine Tree Empire was testing the World Government, that Duke Moore was merely a pawn, and that the Wood Elf Duchy was only being used because of its special status. Behind all this, there was at least a Sequence 0 deity.

The results of the test should be in by now, and the deity of sequence 0 should remain dormant for a short period of time.

The Shenmu Empire is likely to be engulfed in a bloodbath in the coming days.

Sure enough, in the following days, the Shenmu Empire was stained with blood.

It wasn't just the Moore family; three of the six hereditary dukes of the Shenmu Empire died, and countless marquises and earls were executed. Even a king died, and the Shenmu Emperor of the Shenmu Empire abdicated and was replaced.

However, this one didn't die, so it's possible that this one wasn't involved in the incident.

Rosen used the main god's computer to log into the spirit world's deep web and infiltrate the intelligence agency, thus roughly figuring out what was going on this time.

The Beast King Arena has broken the rules of the World Government, turning the cultivation of talent into the stifling of it.

Hundreds of years have passed since such a major event, yet there has been no news about it on the Spirit Realm Deep Web, and the Intelligence Bureau has not discovered it. The reason is that the Intelligence Bureau has been taken over, and the relevant information on the Spirit Realm Deep Web has been erased.

At least one-third of the entire Holy Continent has broken away from the control of the World Government.

This time, several demigods of the empires were stripped of their imperial titles and sent to the front lines to atone for their sins.

The laws of the world governments vary in scope, and violating them does not necessarily mean death.

It also depends on the severity of the situation and the stability and balance of power among the various parties.

So this time the World Government was just making an example of someone to warn others, and the mastermind behind it was just testing the World Government.

The intelligence agency here hasn't been able to find out what the mastermind behind this is trying to achieve.

Rosen decided not to travel any further for the time being; he planned to wait until the turmoil in the Divine Wood Empire had subsided before setting off.

By the way, he also needs to repair his divine territory during this time.

This time, the entire divine realm was almost completely destroyed by Capac's meteor shower.

The same result was found in Capac's divine realm.

Only then did Rosen understand why the Lord of the Divine Realm could mold the Divine Realm's territory as easily as clay. Without this ability, a single territorial war would have been enough to completely destroy the Lord of the Divine Realm.

However, this is not a solution. Does the divine realm have to be nothing more than a shoddy mess with its terrain destroyed at will?

Rosen originally planned to investigate thoroughly in the Spirit Realm's Deep Web, but Alicia actually knew what was going on. Although the Wood Elves did not have a divine territory, they had come into contact with far too many divine lords throughout their lineage.

It turns out that the divine realm was never suitable for war. The reason is simple: destruction is easy, construction is difficult. Otherwise, why would people say that winning a war in your own home is still a loss?

The main purpose of the divine territory is to recruit its people, develop production, earn wealth, and gain faith.

But sometimes, even if you don't want war, war will still find its way to you.

Therefore, in order to prevent war from destroying their divine domains, divine lords should ideally not settle their subjects on the surface of their territory.

Instead, they integrated the spiritual realm into the divine territory, allowing the people to live in a safer spiritual realm.

Then all the spirit realms were placed in the lord's castle, and all production-type extraordinary buildings were also placed in the spirit realms.

Only lord castles and war-type extraordinary buildings remain in the divine realm to deal with invaders at any time.

Ultimately, the essence of the Divine Realm is the prototype of a divine kingdom. However, Sequence 6 is worlds apart from Sequence 0, which can create a divine kingdom. To truly make the Divine Realm powerful, one must become a demigod, wield the power of the rules, and then integrate those rules into the Divine Realm.

Rosen moved all the troop nests to the Spirit Realm, as well as extraordinary buildings such as the potion fields and divine beast pens.

Then, on the surface of the divine realm, only three extraordinary structures remained: Ash Castle, Glorious Lighthouse, and Time Tower.

Finally, they planted countless plants in the divine realm, creating a battlefield suitable for the wood elves.

At this moment, Rosen finally felt that his divine territory was safe.

After reorganizing the divine territory, Rosen began to take stock of his spoils.

He not only plundered Capac's divine territory, but also, incidentally, plundered the divine territory of Capac's eldest grandson after the war.

The two divine territories, one Sequence 4 and the other Sequence 6, yielded nearly 100,000 inhabitants.

Those who were absolutely loyal were all sent to see Capac, and those that could be subdued were all transferred to the Spirit Realm paintings.

As a result, Rosen gained a large number of low-sequence farmers and craftsmen, which were all production sequences carefully cultivated by the Moore family. However, the biggest gain was the two spirit realms that Capak mastered.

【Food Island: A Spiritual Painting】

[Level: Sequence 5]

[Area: Within a radius of one thousand li]

[Population: 51,519 people]

Specialties: Exceptional ingredients, exceptional materials, exceptional population, exceptional cuisine

Rosen carefully examined the painting of the spirit realm; it was not a painting of the spirit realm created by a painter.

Instead, the priority is to conquer and control a Sequence 5 spirit realm, then modify the spirit realm, and finally seal the spirit realm directly in the painting to form a spirit realm painting. The main purpose of going to such great lengths is to ensure that the spirit realm painting can stabilize the spirit realm and extend its existence as much as possible.

The second spiritual realm that Rosen received from Capac was not a painting of a spiritual realm, but a world within a bottle.

[A Cellar in a Bottle: A World Within a Bottle]

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Area: Within a radius of 100 li]

Population: 6511

Specialty Products: Exceptional Ingredients, Exceptional Wines

The Spirit Realm of Gundam Sequence 3 may be small in size and population, but it is a concentrated essence of the universe.

This place can consistently produce exceptional wines of the highest quality, reaching Sequence 4. Many of these wines have different special effects when consumed. Relying on this bottle cellar, the Moore family can reliably harvest over 100 million spiritual crystals every year.

Rosen placed both spirit realms in Ash Castle and then sent people in to replace some of the management.

After a few busy days and things settled down, I was able to continue working on the Beast King Arena.

After refining it, Rosen discovered that it was not a supernatural building, but a Sequence 3 miracle treasure.

Moreover, like the Potions Bottle, it is one of a series of Miracle Treasures.

Besides the Beast King's Arena in Sequence 3, there is the All Races Arena in Sequence 2, the Gods' Arena in Sequence 1, and finally the Twilight Battlefield in Sequence 0. Legend has it that only by combining four extraordinary artifacts can a miracle treasure be transformed into a miracle building.

The All Races Arena is now located on the border of the human race and is controlled by the World Government.

As for the Arena of the Gods, it is controlled by many alien gods in the Pantheon.

As for the Twilight Battlefield, no one knows where it is.

Although the Beastmaster Arena is only Sequence 3, it is still one of the legendary wonder buildings.

Although the attributes are not fully visible due to the incompleteness, it is known that the beast king is hunted within it, and after the beast king dies, all its power will disperse and merge into the audience stands, allowing all the spectators watching the beast fight to experience spiritual growth.

In addition, the Beast King Arena can also generate tickets, which can be used to teleport spiritual projections to the audience stands regardless of spatial distance.

The Moore family earns hundreds of millions of spiritual crystals every year by selling tickets to the Beast King Colosseum.

It's somewhat unbelievable that such a cash cow is in the hands of the Moore family.

After much thought, Rosen concluded that there was only one possibility: this was bait set up by someone.

Of the four Miracle Treasure components, aside from the Twilight Battlefield where no one knows where it is, one is in the hands of the World Government and the other is in the hands of the alien gods.

If someone obtains the Twilight Battlefield, would that person dare to seize those two components?

Picking the softest persimmons is the best strategy; the controller of the Twilight Battlefield will most likely prioritize collecting the Beast King's Arena.

This is just bait, specifically designed for fishing. The angler behind it might actually be some kind of deity.

Rosen realized this was a hot potato, so he simply put it up for auction on the Spirit Realm Deep Web.

They sold over 200 billion spiritual crystals; the price is shockingly cheap.

Obviously, anyone who can afford to buy the Beastmaster Arena knows this is a hot potato.

However, as long as the Twilight Battlefield doesn't appear within the next few hundred years, you'll definitely break even after buying it.

However, Rosen didn't lose too much, as the spiritual crystals he demanded were exchanged for spatial attributes in equivalent form.

It cost about 20 billion to exchange. Compared with the time attribute, the exchange rate of spiritual crystals with spatial attribute is still normal.

After roughly taking stock of Capac's estate, Rosen began taking stock of Warren Moore's estate.

Despite being only a Sequence 9, Warren's status within the family is second only to Duke Moore and Capac, due to his identity as a jurist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have obtained a treasure that can withstand the judgment of death.

So Rosen received three exciting gains: the jurist's extraordinary source material, a miraculous treasure, and an extraordinary artifact.

He had actually considered capturing Warren alive, sealing him in the painting, and then providing him with resources to continue growing.

However, after careful consideration, he gave up. The World Government wanted to deal with Duke Moore, which is why he was able to kill a Sequence 9 jurist, but it would not allow private training of jurists. Duke Moore was made an example of, and privately training jurists would certainly be one of the crimes.

Therefore, all you can get is a piece of extraordinary source material. Let's see if there are any good skills inside that can be used for the human body painting and replication skill.

Rosen tossed the extraordinary source energy to his self-portrait clone for analysis, while he picked up the miracle treasure.

[Primal Decree: Miracle Treasure]

[Level: Sequence 9]

[Attribute: Can significantly increase the evolution speed of acquired rules]

[Miracle Traits: Law and Order, Injustice, Uniqueness, Immortality]

Rosen initially didn't think much of the Primal Decree, after all, a Sequence 9 Miracle Treasure was too low-level.

However, after learning more about it, he believed that this miraculous treasure was even more precious than the Beast King's Colosseum.

He even suspected that this original decree was not simply Sequence 9 in nature.

So after throwing the original decree into the Miracle Pocket, he spared no effort to use the equivalent exchange to enhance the Miracle Pocket's appraisal result. Sure enough, the Miracle Pocket gave him detailed information that was not shown in the original decree's attributes.

The original decree was inscribed on a tortoise shell, on which were some ancient oracle bone characters.

Once again, Rosen discovered traces of the era in which he had lived.

Primitive laws can evolve, provided they are supported by sufficiently strong legal systems.

If this thing falls into the hands of the World Government's Chief Justice, its level might evolve directly to Sequence 0.

Although it is only Sequence 9 now, its value is still astonishing.

Attributes are of great significance to jurists in formulating new laws. The miracle trait, Legal Order, can greatly enhance the power of a legal rule. However, the most valuable is the unique miracle trait, Perverting Justice.

Activating this feature allows one to break legal rules.

If the World Government were to learn of this characteristic, the World Government's Supreme Court would absolutely kill him at any cost.

Fortunately, the already deceased Warren didn't tell anyone about this characteristic.

He obtained this miraculous treasure through his own efforts. After realizing the horror of bending the law for personal gain, Warren decided to hide the original decree from everyone and attribute everything to the innate skills he possessed.

Rosen carefully put away the original decree; this thing could be of great value in a critical moment.

He finally picked up the Sequence 3 artifact, a phantom heart, an artifact made from the heart of a Void Worm. When activated, it grants immunity to damage up to Sequence 3, but this artifact has a limited number of uses.

Originally, there were five chances to use it, but now there's only one chance left.

The product is excellent; its only drawback is that after fusion, it requires drinking human blood to maintain the fusion state and prevent it from being broken.

So Rosen thought about it and finally decided to throw himself onto the Spirit Realm Deep Web in exchange for some extraordinary artifacts he could use.

This kind of life-saving equipment that allows Sequence 3 to be fused with Sequence 9 was soon presented by someone who found something that would appeal to Rosen.

However, when trading with spirit messengers, it will take several days for the goods to arrive.

Before the goods arrived, Rosen planned to hunt down a wave of giant beasts and challenge the Beast King.

I need to get used to the newly acquired twin daggers properly, otherwise it would be a waste of my talents if they fell into his hands.
