Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 216 The Pirate King's Relics and Abyss Trade

Chapter 215

"I wish to erase all traces of my murder of Grand Duke Blazing Shadow..."

The moment Rosen finished making his wish, he paid 50 million high-grade spiritual crystals as the price.

This pained him so much that his eyelids twitched slightly. Now he could only hope that what he had plundered from the divine domain of the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow could make up for his losses.

Through data transmission, Rosen disappeared silently from the spirit realm corresponding to the Blazing Shadow Royal City.

Upon returning to Paradise Island, Rosen immediately entered the Mysterious Study and arrived at the Church of the Primordial God in the Ancient God Realm.

He released Clement from the Void Realm. When the Shadow Fiend rescued him from the dungeon of the Lord's Castle, Clement was already on the verge of death. However, as long as he had a breath left, it wouldn't be difficult to heal Clement's injuries.

The angelic beast breathed on Clement, and Clement's physical injuries were visibly healed completely.

Rosen took out a golden apple materialized from his Nen, and instantly squeezed it into juice and puree with his Nen. He then used Little Dragon Girl's teleportation ability to transfer the juice and puree into Clement's stomach.

Soon, his severely damaged spirit was nourished by the golden apple, and Clement gradually awoke.

"From today onwards, you will live in this world!"

Rosen turned and left after saying that.

The only reason Clement was spared was because he was being used as a waste.

Although Clement survived, his Abyssal Worm Progenitor bloodline was completely destroyed. This was a hidden injury that neither the Angelic Mind Beast nor the Golden Apple could heal, so it was almost impossible for him to grow to Sequence 4 in his lifetime.

In fact, his innate luck was very bad, only reaching Sequence 5, which may be the reason why he was so unlucky.

He was captured and enslaved by him, and later his own father stole his extraordinary bloodline and almost killed him.

Back in the mysterious study, Rosen began to take stock of the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow's legacy.

He casually crushed the two extra orbs of light in the scavenging space and obtained a gourmet's mysterious refrigerator. This extraordinary item of Sequence 3 can store a huge amount of ingredients and spiritual delicacies, and it also has various enhancement attributes, making it perfect to give to Li Shiqing.

Rosen picked up the second item, a Sequence 6 Miracle Treasure.

【Blazing Shadow Ore: Miracle Treasure】

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Miracle Attribute: Blazing Shadow Stone can consume Spirit Crystals to transform ordinary stones into Blazing Shadow Ore]

[Miracle Traits: Ore Vein Conversion, Ore Synthesis, Soul Blaze, Uniqueness of Heaven and Earth, Eternal Immortality]

This is an extremely rare resource-producing extraordinary item, whose value is guaranteed to be no less than that of a Sequence 3 Miracle Treasure.

Rosen frowned. With this miraculous treasure, the Blazing Shadow Ore Veins of the Blazing Shadow Duchy should be inexhaustible.

However, in reality, the production of Blazing Ore in the Blazing Shadow Kingdom is decreasing.

Where did all that extra Blazing Shadow Ore go? Thinking about this, he kept thinking about the unknown Blazing Shadow Ore.

Rosen's spiritual energy was severely depleted, but his Hunter's Eyes still managed to see flashing images.

He saw mountains of Fiery Shadow Ore being carried away by hordes of Abyssal Demons and dumped into a burning abyss.

"Abyssal plane?"

Rosen instantly understood that the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow had sold most of the Blazing Shadow ore to the Abyss.

No wonder that even though he was only a Duke and his talent wasn't top-notch, and his innate fortune was only Sequence 4, the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow still became Sequence 3. This was clearly because he made a fortune through a deal with the Abyss Demons and then gained enough acquired fortune to become Sequence 3.

In the Void Prison, Rosen captured a prisoner and activated the unique miracle property of the Blazing Shadow Stone: Soul Blazing Shadow.

The prisoner's soul was instantly ignited, but his spirituality was elevated to a higher level as his soul burned. Soul Blaze is a method of temporarily enhancing spirituality by burning one's life force.

The enhancement effect is quite good; the spiritual strength of the Sequence 7 prisoner has been enhanced to that of Sequence 6.

Although as the soul burns out, the prisoner's spirituality will also be ignited by the soul's fiery shadow, leading to death.

However, being able to easily raise one sequence level of spiritual strength is already a very useful miracle.

It's essentially a degraded version of an ancient god's sacrificial artifact, but Soul Blaze can ignite the souls of many beings simultaneously.

The first use that Rosen thought of was to ignite the Shadow Fiend's soul at a crucial moment.

If all 50,000 Shadow Demons were to advance one sequence level, the power they would unleash would be terrifying beyond measure, enough to give him a new trump card. Of course, there were other options, and he wouldn't do something that would cause the Shadow Demons to perish together with the enemy.

In the following days, Rosen converted a small amount of Blazing Shadow Ore veins in the Ancient God Realm.

Because it feels like a loss, purely in terms of value, if the spiritual crystals consumed in transforming a mineral vein were all mined and sold, after deducting labor and transportation costs, the profit would be about 1.5 times.

However, in addition to consuming spiritual crystals, the generation of mineral veins also consumes the earth's power in a region.

Without the power of the earth, all resources that grow on the earth will be reduced in production.

This is understandable, as the soil in the Blazing Shadow Principality is very fertile.

This is understandable, as even with Blazing Shadow Ore, the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow could not infinitely convert it into new veins.

Come to think of it, if there were no restrictions on the transformation of the Blazing Shadow Ore vein, this thing wouldn't be a Sequence 6 extraordinary artifact; it would probably qualify as a Sequence 1 extraordinary artifact. The principle of energy conservation is a fundamental rule in the extraordinary world.

Rosen treasured the Blazing Shadow Stone and then went to the Void Shadow Realm.

By this time, Shadow Fiend had already sorted and categorized the loot he had plundered from Grand Duke Blazing Shadow's divine domain.

Extraordinary plants were planted into resource-type spiritual realm paintings, and various mineral veins were incorporated into mineral-type spiritual realm paintings. After the people were scattered, they were all thrown into a corner of the Dark Continent. The identity of the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow was too sensitive, so this group of people could not expect to leave the Ancient God True Realm alive.

As for those loyal subjects who want revenge, they will soon die in the Ancient God Realm.

After clearing away the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow's belongings, only two things remained in Rosen's eyes.

One is a pirate flag of Sequence 3 quality, an extraordinary artifact exclusive to the Pirate Captain Sequence.

Judging from the logo on the pirate flag, this should be the pirate flag once used by Ainz Ooal Gown, the pirate king and the ancestor of the Blazing Shadow family.

The other item was a horn, its surface engraved with various abyssal demons. The horn seemed to contain endless blood. Even with Rosen's current 68 points of spiritual power after the ancient god's artifact was enhanced, he was unable to read the basic information contained within the horn's spiritual power.

Rosen put the horn into his miracle pocket and used his appraisal skills to determine the information on the horn.

[Abyss Horn: Miracle Treasure]

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Miracle Attribute: Possessing the Abyss Horn allows one to become a Ferryman of the Abyss]

Miracle Ability: Call of the Abyss

Rosen realized almost instantly that this, like the Resurrection Cross, was an incomplete miracle artifact.

It's just that the complete form is so powerful that even after being split up, it still retains the complete Miracle attributes and some Miracle characteristics.

The absence of the unique and eternal characteristics of such miraculous treasures is a symbol of their existence.

Using the detailed information identified by the Miracle Pocket, Rosen quickly figured out what the Abyss Ferryman and the Abyss Call were all about.

The core of the Abyss is the Will of the Abyss, followed by the Blood River of the Abyss.

Almost all abyssal demons originated from the Abyssal Blood River. Even abyssal lords would be suppressed and repelled to varying degrees when they approached the Abyssal Blood River. However, the Abyssal Ferryman is an exception. It is a special profession that can navigate the Abyssal Blood River.

The Miracle Trait, Abyssal Call, can directly summon a tributary of the Abyssal Blood River.

This led to the creation of a secret passage between the Abyss and the human world. The Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow used this passage to transport Blazing Shadow ore and various resources to the Abyss. However, this passage could not be opened frequently, otherwise the frequent leakage of the Abyss's aura would definitely be noticed by others.

Rosen felt a surge of excitement; it seemed he could also make use of this smuggling route.

Although the World Government certainly wouldn't allow this, this is a chaotic area that is not under the jurisdiction of the World Government.

Perhaps this Abyss Horn is the greatest treasure of the Blazing Shadow Clan.

The pirate king Ainz Ooal Gown, who was trapped in the abyss back then, might have escaped using this Abyss Horn. Lawson arrived at a deserted island, refined the Abyss Horn, and attempted to activate the Abyss Call.

He immediately felt a connection with the Abyss Blood River, able to summon a tributary of the Abyss Blood River from any of the 99 layers of the Abyss. He could clearly feel a familiar aura in the tributary of the Abyss Blood River on the 95th layer of the Abyss.

That was the last time the Abyss called, the blood river tributary left behind water inside the horn to locate it.

To change the summoned Blood River tributary, the river water inside the Abyss Horn needs to be returned, and then the new Blood River tributary needs to be guided to complete the positioning. It is said that it is better to do what is familiar than what is unfamiliar, so he immediately summoned Clement and asked him to drive the Abyss to the trade.

Of course, in order to protect the Abyss from being dissolved by the Abyss Blood River, he also sent a self-portrait clone carrying the Abyss Horn to accompany it.

The ship is already loaded with Blazing Shadow Ore; now it's just a matter of what we can trade for it.

Under the protection of the Abyss Horn, Clement piloted the Abyss across the waves and quickly reached the shore.

At this moment, there were newly born Abyss Demons below Sequence 6 on the shore. Only these newly born Abyss Demons could approach the Abyss Blood River unaffected. Although they were surprised that the ship transporting the ore was different this time, they still boarded the ship and transported the ore away as if they knew the way.

Finally, the abyssal demon in charge of overseeing the project left behind a spatial ring before departing.

Since Abyssal Demons above Sequence 7 have difficulty approaching the Abyssal Blood River, the Abyssal Demons who trade with Grand Duke Blazing Shadow never show themselves. The ones sent to transport the ore are all low-level minions specifically designed to suppress their level.

Unless the other party to the transaction knows that Grand Duke Chiying is dead, there is no need to worry about any changes to the transaction.

However, whether the deal can proceed depends on whether Rosen is satisfied with the contents of the Space Ring.

Following the tributary of the Blood River, the Abyss sailed back at top speed.

The longer you stay, the greater the energy expenditure, and the more likely you are to be discovered that the Blood River tributary has descended upon the chaotic sea.

So after returning safely, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.

He eagerly opened the space ring and found it filled with extraordinary materials from various alien races. These materials were likely collected during the war between the Abyss Demons and other alien races, and were worth ten times the price of the Blazing Shadow Ore in the surrounding countries.

It's no wonder that Grand Duke Chiying would take such a risk; a tenfold profit would drive anyone crazy.

Although the Abyss Call has been closed, the place where the Blood River tributary once descended still retains a strong abyssal aura.

Rosen now understood why Grand Duke Blazing Shadow's divine realm contained so many extraordinary artifacts of various levels with purifying properties.

Clearly, after each transaction, a purification method is needed to completely erase the abyssal aura.

Only then can the Blood River tributary be summoned again; otherwise, the abyssal aura will increase, and not only will the powerful figures of the World Government discover this abyssal aura, but it may also allow the abyss to open a passage through it.

Instead of using those extraordinary artifacts for purification, Rosen directly summoned 50,000 Shadow Demons.

These Shadow Fiends are themselves abyssal demons, and the abyssal aura can be easily absorbed by them.

After that, Rosen and the unknown abyss demon made a pleasant deal once a month.

Sometimes, the space ring contains special lists of supplies. These supplies are extraordinary resources that are not found in the Abyss and are quite precious in the human world. The prices offered are also more generous, and thus the scale of the transactions between the two parties grows larger and larger.

Rosen knew very well that the other party in the deal had likely already guessed that someone had been replaced on their end.

After all, the original Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow simply wouldn't have been able to conduct transactions so frequently.

The two sides had such a pleasant transaction that the other side simply pretended not to know.

……

At the Paradise Island Bio-modification Center, hundreds of researchers are injecting various drugs into three enormous creatures.

Despite being described as a colossal object, it is actually only a few thousand meters long from beginning to end.

Placed inside the Void Blue Whale, it had only recently emerged from its infancy.

However, these three Void Blue Whales will no longer grow. While their large size would give them greater destructive power, it would also make it harder for them to hide their tracks. Therefore, after various modifications, the three Void Blue Whales have embarked on a special path of compressing their size.

Although its smaller size reduces its destructive power, its condensed form allows for a faster increase in defense.

Simply put, it means running faster and maximizing your survivability.

Of course, this also creates another drawback: the size of the internal world will also be affected.

But it doesn't matter, Rosen is best at painting paintings of spirit realms.

The limited space inside the modified Void Blue Whale was used to build shipyards and docks. As for the living area, it was all placed inside the Spirit Realm Painting. It was enough to leave portals leading to the Spirit Realm Painting in the shipyards and docks.

Upon receiving the news, Rosen immediately came to receive the three Void Blue Whales that had completed their modifications.

All of them are Sequence 4, but their potential has been completely exhausted. In order to control the Void Blue Whales, their brains, souls, and spiritualities have been modified. While ensuring absolute control, these three Void Blue Whales have exhausted their potential and will never be able to grow to Sequence 3 in the future.

However, out of the hundreds of Void Blue Whales in the Blue Whale Kingdom, only one can grow to Sequence 3.

Therefore, modifying it to Sequence 4 is already very impressive, as it almost exhausted all the bio-modification technologies that Paradise Pharmaceuticals possesses.

After Rosen acknowledged the three Void Blue Whales as his masters, he entered the empty inner world inside the Void Blue Whales' bellies.

He moved one extraordinary shipyard and dock after another from the Ancient God Realm. These were extraordinary shipyards that Amy led the Hill Dwarves to mass-produce using the production capacity of the Mechanical City after they subdued the Hill Dwarves.

Basically, the extraordinary ships from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 can all be mass-produced in these extraordinary shipyards.

As for extraordinary ships above Sequence 7, they need to be custom-made in the mechanical city.

However, this is basically unnecessary, because those who can grow to Sequence 6 at this stage are all elites. They don't have to worry about cultivation resources, whether in the Church of the Main God or the Divine Realm. Only those with limited aptitude below Sequence 6 are sent to the Void Blue Whale to fend for themselves.

The extraordinary migration of eight million people is no easy task.

The management team of these eight million people consists entirely of loyal subjects cultivated to Sequence 6 by the Divine Realm.

Rosen even went so far as to use the Apocalypse Treasure Map to create dozens of miracle treasure maps ranging from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3.

With these miracle maps, the three Void Blue Whales can more easily discover unclaimed resources hidden in the deep sea.

With everything prepared, Rosen used data transmission to send the three Void Blue Whales to the coast of the Blazing Shadow Duchy.

With the pressure on the Ancient God Realm greatly reduced, Rosen felt a weight lifted from his heart.

As they say, good things come in pairs. Rosen was happily playing on the beach with a group of maids when Lucia suddenly showed up with another piece of good news: the matter he had previously ordered Paradise Pharmaceuticals' intelligence department to investigate had yielded results.

"What you need is in the Glory Foundation."

Lucia handed the documents in her hand to Rosen, and then snuggled into his arms, pushing the succubus away.

Rosen opened the folder and carefully read through the document that had surprised him.

He obtained a Sequence 3 Starfruit Tree in the Palace of Stars. The Starfruit produced by this tree can greatly improve the growth efficiency of spiritual strength. However, the Starfruit Tree grows too slowly, and farmers below Sequence 4 cannot accelerate its cultivation.

However, farmers who can grow to Sequence 4 are rare talents even in the World Government.

In order to cultivate extraordinary plants, Paradise Pharmaceuticals has also cultivated a number of farmer sequences, but the strongest farmer sequence is only sequence 5.

Rosen also tried using the Hunter's Eye to find the farmer of Sequence 4.

I've found quite a few in the main world, but I can only look at them and it's very difficult to get my hands on them.

Although his Hunter's Eye can capture animals remotely by taking pictures and transmitting data, it is only a Sequence 5. It has no difficulty in taking pictures and capturing Sequence 5 farmers, but it is still a bit lacking in taking pictures and capturing Sequence 4 farmers.

The risk of actually going to arrest them is somewhat not worth it.

So he shifted his focus to the Glory Foundation, since the Glory Foundation also had a Sequence 4 farmer.

Of the three companies, the Honor Foundation has the least presence.

Although the Glory Foundation controls the food trade in the entire Chaotic Sea, the goods it sells are not of high quality. Even the crops sold to Titan Heavy Industries and Paradise Pharmaceuticals are only of Sequence 6 at best. Therefore, many people believe that the Glory Foundation is the weakest of the three major companies.

If it weren't for the Hunter's Eye, Rosen wouldn't have believed that the Glory Foundation had a Sequence 4 farmer.

Lucia's file contains all the farmer's detailed information.

This information is far more comprehensive than what he obtained using the Hunter's Eye, since the Hunter's Eye can only see what is happening in the present moment. With this information, the difficulty of kidnapping this Sequence 4 farmer from the Glory Foundation will be greatly reduced.
