Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 225 The Inheritance of Sequence 1 and the Time Sealing Technique

Chapter 224

Aurora Continent, Rainbow City of the Aurora Empire.

Through data transmission, Rosen's self-portrait clone arrived here silently.

His clone did not share Farah's abilities; the original shared the abilities and remained in the Mystic Study. This allowed him to perceive the location of the Grail King unilaterally, but the Grail King could not perceive him in the Mystic Study.

After arriving in Rainbow City, Rosen began searching for information about Mogaro through the Aurora Empire's virtual network.

Mogaro, who has no information about him in the deep web of the spirit world, is a well-known painter in Rainbow City. However, his publicly displayed sequence level is only sequence 6. He has been using his paintings from the spirit world to trade for Rainbow Aurora, a unique extraordinary resource in Rainbow City.

Like the Eternal Continent, the Aurora Continent is one of the few worlds that has not been shrouded in ashes.

The Eternal Continent is located deep within the Spirit Realm and is protected by countless gods and true deities, so it does not need to be shrouded in ashes.

As for the Aurora Continent, it is because it is shrouded by the Sky Mirror, a miracle treasure of sequence 0.

The various auroras that fill the sky are essentially all derivatives of the Sky Mirror.

The main function of the rainbow aurora is to suppress the curse.

Because of this effect, rainbow auroras are incredibly valuable.

"Suppress the curse!"

After having made up his mind, Rosen left Rainbow City.

Although the rainbow aurora is a specialty of Rainbow City, its origin is not in the city, but at Cliff Waterfall, thousands of miles away from Rainbow City. There is a Rainbow Mountain that is thousands of miles high, and Cliff Waterfall is a waterfall that cascades down from the cliff at the top of the mountain.

Beneath the waterfall lies a deep pool, at the bottom of which live rainbow oysters that can nurture rainbow pearls.

These rainbow pearls are the only way to capture rainbow auroras; whoever controls the rainbow pearl controls all rainbow auroras.

Therefore, the cultivation of rainbow clams is completely monopolized by the hereditary Duke Hal Wilkins of Rainbow City.

By selling Rainbow Aurora, the Wilkins family even cultivated Sequence 2.

Of course, that was many years ago, when the Duke of Wilkins' bloodline had long since passed through five generations since the estrangement. However, the Wilkins family needed Sequence 2 to maintain its interests, and the ancestors of Sequence 2 needed a share of Rainbow Aurora's profits.

Therefore, even though their bloodline has spanned five generations, the two sides still maintain a close relationship.

To prevent the theft of rainbow pearls, the Wilkins family took the most stringent precautions to protect the few rainbow oysters they had.

However, the protection measures are not as stringent for dead rainbow clams.

Using his ability to teleport, Rosen infiltrated the underwater farm deep within the waterfall and quickly located the rainbow clam, which had been preserved as a specimen.

They extracted a small amount of dried flesh and blood and began to use the World Gene Bank to decipher the genetic map of life.

The cracked data was sent back to Paradise Pharmaceuticals, where the Rainbow Clam was quickly cloned.

However, the formation of rainbow pearls requires specific environmental conditions, so the rainbow mussels cloned by Paradise Pharmaceuticals could not produce rainbow pearls at all. Rosen could only send a large number of cloned rainbow mussels over via data transmission and then hide them at the bottom of the pool.

He used the illusory realm to simulate the environment of a deep pool and slowly incorporated the pool water.

As expected, the special substances contained in the pool water caused the rainbow mussels to begin producing rainbow pearls. Since these rainbow mussels had their life genes modified by Paradise Pharmaceuticals to enhance their pearl production speed, a large number of rainbow pearls could be harvested in just one year at most.

By then, Lawson will be confident of monopolizing the rainbow aurora.

The number of rainbow auroras formed by the cliff waterfall is actually quite large. However, the number of rainbow clams is too small, with only six. The production of rainbow pearls is also too scarce to collect all the rainbow auroras. Rainbow auroras that are not integrated into the rainbow clams do not have the effect of suppressing the curse.

Once Lawson collects all the rainbow aurora with his massive collection of rainbow pearls, Mogaro will run out of rainbow aurora.

When the Rainbow Aurora Suppressing Curse is gone, Mogaro, who has been living in seclusion in Rainbow City, will surely take action.

Rosen also considered that Moggaro might know his scheme through the prophetic painting.

But it doesn't matter, he has already cast the Lucky Heart Lock's wish-fulfilling spell. During the duration of the wish-fulfilling spell, whatever he wants to do will go smoothly. No matter how much Mogaro draws the prophetic picture, he will not be able to find out that he has already come to Rainbow City.

It takes a year to produce a large quantity of rainbow pearls, and Lawson doesn't intend to waste that year.

Through Sonia, a newly promoted Sequence 0 painter, Rosen learned of a place where a special opportunity existed for painters.

He had a year; he was bound to get this opportunity eventually.

Through data transmission, Rosen arrived at the coastal area of ​​the Altay continent in the human world, following Sonia's directions.

Alicia is advancing to Sequence 4, so Rosen doesn't intend to disturb her at this time.

The Storm Thunderbird flew by but could not reach that place.

So Rosen opened the Void Album and quickly drew a super-powerful pirate ship called the Abyss that could dive into the sea. This was a super-powerful ship drawn in imitation of Clementine's pirate ship, so he also summoned Clementine to ride and drive it.

Under Clement's control, the Abyss gradually moved away from the coast of the Altai continent and headed into the depths of the sea.

A few days later, the Abyss came to a stop on the vast ocean.

There are no landmarks around, and this sea area is not near any shipping lanes in the vicinity, so very few extraordinary ships pass through here. Moreover, even if someone does pass by, there will be no abnormalities if there is no Painter Sequence on board.

Rosen repositioned the spatial coordinates, and the Abyss immediately moved in a straight line toward the coordinate point.

Suddenly, a mist enveloped the Abyss, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived near a small island.

At the island's only pier, dozens of fishermen unloading their catch watched the approaching Abyss with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

Their island was isolated from the world, and this was the first time they had seen outsiders, especially such a terrifying-looking large ship.

Their fishing boats would probably be capsized by the waves if they passed by; the person who came must be a legendary figure even more important than the town mayor.

"Prepare for a carpet bombing, reduce the attack power and play slowly."

Rosen gazed at the island ahead and said.

Clement immediately steered the Abyss's main guns to lock onto the island ahead, while simultaneously doing everything in his power to suppress the damage from the main guns.

Even if the Abyss is a hastily drawn imitation, its power is in no way inferior to that of a Sequence 6 extraordinary ship.

A single shot could turn an area of ​​several miles into scorched earth, but now, under Clement's all-out suppression, the main cannon only destroyed a fishing boat at the dock, along with killing a few fishermen who couldn't get out of the way in time.

Over the next few hours, Clement piloted the Abyss to conduct a thorough, carpet bombing of the island ahead.

The fishermen who had been bombarded scattered in all directions. Then, some old cannons were brought out on the island to try to retaliate, but they found that they could not even scratch the surface of the Abyss. Some people began to try to escape in fishing boats.

However, they were all sunk by the Abyss, and in the end, the entire island was littered with corpses, with not a single survivor.

"almost……"

Rosen's Hunter's Eyes offers a God-like perspective over the entire island.

As everyone and everything on the island gradually faded and disappeared, a thick fog soon appeared on the sea, and an identical, intact island reappeared, complete with its town, dock, and tens of thousands of inhabitants.

Bomb the island, that's the hint Sonia gave Rosen.

Whether he can obtain the hidden opportunities here depends on his own abilities.

"It's not like the time reset in five-dimensional painting..."

Rosen frowned as he looked at the small island.

He immediately ordered Clement to continue bombing, destroying all people and things on the island time and time again.

He even sent a clone of his self-portrait into the island, manipulated the Shadow Demon to possess the shadows of everyone on the island, and even used five-dimensional painting to perceive the surrounding time and space. After trying again and again, he finally learned the true nature of the island.

The essence of painting is, at its very beginning, the art of imitating nature.

However, no matter how realistic a simple imitation is, it can never compare to a photographer's work.

Therefore, in the end, the art of painting turned to a re-creation based on reality. Abstract painting, in particular, is an art form that completely defies nature. Painters began to incorporate their understanding of nature into their paintings, shifting from imitating nature to transforming and creating it. However, this does not mean that the initial imitation lost its value.

This self-portrait is a masterpiece of imitation.

However, there is another school of thought, which is to directly seal the real nature in the painting.

Spiritual realm paintings are created by sealing real resources within the painted world, thus creating a complete world.

This school of thought has also given rise to a special painting technique: first, copy nature until the copy is indistinguishable from the real thing, then seal the real nature in the painting, and finally release the sealed nature, integrating the copied painting into the released natural environment.

After this process, the painter's work is no longer confined to the paper, but rather to the real nature.

Rosen's mastery of five-dimensional painting is essentially a skill developed from this school of painting.

So even though there are islands in front of you, everything on those islands is actually contained within a single painting.

No matter how many times it is destroyed, as long as the hidden painting is not destroyed, the island can be reborn continuously within the painting.

However, this alone is probably not enough for Sonia, who is in Sequence 0, to consider this an opportunity.

Because this sealing skill is not uncommon, and not many painters are willing to master it.

Because once a painting is integrated into nature, it becomes fixed and cannot be moved again.

After everything on the island is reborn, Rosen will prepare to enter the island to find the special seal painting that has been integrated into the island's natural environment.

He found it quickly; the painting was hanging on the wall of the mayor's house.

This painting cannot be moved; it is completely and inextricably linked to the entire island.

However, upon seeing the signature in the lower right corner of the painting, Rosen's pupils instantly contracted.

Carlo Garner, a name known to all painters.

The creator of the Painter Sequence, the first human painter of Sequence 1, was Carlo, who was killed by the higher-ups of the Painter's Guild at any cost. In the end, Carlo's divine kingdom was absorbed by the Ancient Tree of the Painting Sequence, which is why Sonia, who obtained the Ancient Tree of the Painting Sequence, knew about this place.

Therefore, it is very likely that Carlo Garner's true legacy exists on this island.

Rosen soon discovered a fisherman's child on the island, and to his astonishment, the child's name was Carlo Garner.

It is obvious that Carlo Garner somehow reversed the timeline of the island where he was born back to his childhood, and then used a special sealing painting skill to seal the island and his childhood in a painting.

The Carlo Garner in this painting is immortal, and the future Carlo Garner in reality will never die.

So even though Carlo Garna's divine kingdom and the sequence ancient tree were devoured by the painting sequence ancient tree, Carlo Garna was still not completely dead. The higher-ups of the Painters' Association paid such a high price, but they still couldn't completely kill Carlo Garna.

Rosen immediately released the Seven Deadly Sins Seeds, parasitizing everyone on the island, especially Carlo Garner.

Then, relying on the demons' gluttony and greed, they gradually seized control of the painting on the island.

It took him more than half a year to gain control of this special sealed painting called Carlo's Childhood.

As Rosen devoured the painting with gluttony, he also gained two benefits. First, his own extraordinary painterly qualities were enhanced by merging with a special power within the painting. Second, he gained the skill of Time Sealing Technique.

If Rosen wasn't mistaken, this special power should be the power of destiny.

However, it is a unique fortune belonging to the painter's class, and this special fortune has endless benefits for painters.

Therefore, his extraordinary source quality was enhanced, enabling him to master the skills of Sequence 3 at Sequence 4.

However, Rosen doesn't have the energy to learn new skills for the time being, because he needs to master the Time Seal Technique he just acquired.

[Time Sealing Technique: Captures a fragment of time and seals it within the painting, ensuring that the time within the painting remains constant.]

On the surface, it actually looks somewhat like a painting of a spiritual realm.

The mainstream method of creating paintings of spiritual realms is to incorporate historical traces captured from the depths of the spiritual world into the painting through the finishing touch.

However, since it is history, it is naturally something that happened in the past.

The Time Sealing Technique can capture either the past or the future.

Moreover, historical traces are not so easy to create; if history is not left behind, it is difficult to generate historical traces.

However, time segments can be captured as long as they exist.

If a certain period of his past is captured and sealed in the painting, for example, a fragment of the time when he first arrived in Redstone City, and that period of Redstone City is sealed in the painting, then as long as the painting is not destroyed, Rosen will not truly perish.

He can also capture fragments of future time and make those future times unalterable.

The future is not static; with the ability to foresee it, there is naturally the possibility of changing the future.

However, by using the Time Sealing Technique to directly capture a fragment of future time and seal it into a painting, the future corresponding to that time fragment will be fixed unless the painting is destroyed. No matter what you do, you cannot change this future.

Therefore, the Time Seal Technique is a terrifying painter skill, only at Sequence 3, with no upper limit to its potential.

The reason for such a low initial learning level is simply that the Time Seal Technique is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Because the essence of the Time Sealing Technique is interception and sealing, its mastery of the time dimension is not particularly strong. To perfectly unleash the power of the Time Sealing Technique, one must master the authority of time and the power of time. The stronger one's mastery of time-related techniques, the stronger the Time Sealing Technique will be.

The only weakness of the Time Sealing Technique is that once sealed, the user can no longer move.

Therefore, the painting containing the time-sealing technique must be hidden well, otherwise someone will steal your home in no time.

However, this is no longer a weakness for Rosen.

Because Rosen possesses a divine realm, paintings containing time-sealing techniques can be integrated into that divine realm.

In the era when Carlo Garner created the Painter Sequence, the Noble Sequence had not yet been born. Painters of that era could not obtain the prototype of a divine kingdom, such as the Divine Realm Territory, in advance. They could only gradually capture, modify, and strengthen existing small worlds after reaching Sequence 1.

Carlo Garner only began to possess the unfinished Sequence 1 of the Divine Kingdom, so painting this picture must have been done before Sequence 1.

Rosen traveled to the Blazing Shadow City via data transmission and then returned to Redstone City as quickly as possible.

He spread out a canvas and continuously poured in his own spirituality, which he had transformed into divinity from the bloodline of the ancient gods.

Then, the divine power was used to envelop the entire Redstone City through a time-sealing technique integrated into the canvas.

The painting depicted an identical Redstone City, which then came to life and began to reverse time continuously, eventually returning to the moment when Rosen had just arrived in Redstone City. He then began to use a time-sealing technique to capture fragments of time.

Rosen's divine strength limit is 71 points, and with 10 points per day, he captured a seven-day time segment.

Then he picked up his magic brush and painted the Redstone City from many years ago.

Finally, he merged and sealed the time fragment with the painting. After the fusion, Rosen brought the painting to the Divine Realm territory and then released the time fragment that had been sealed in the painting. Immediately, a Redstone City with a timeline dating back many years appeared in a corner of the Divine Realm territory.

This redstone city cycles every seven days, returning to the first day after each seven-day period.

Looking at himself in this city, Rosen felt a truly complex mix of emotions.

He sealed this fragment of time within the divine realm, which actually prevented him from fully dying as long as this fragment remained intact. However, he didn't care about that value anyway; what he cared about were the secondary benefits.

Some beings who have mastered time sequences, while unable to truly travel through time, can use time to change the past and present.

For example, by transcending time, he could directly kill someone who was only Sequence 9 in Redstone City.

Then it affects the present, causing him, currently in Sequence 4, to perish directly.

Now that this fragment of time has been sealed within the painting and placed in the divine realm, those who possess such abilities have no way to attack his past self when he was weak to kill his present self. This can be considered another hidden function of the time sealing technique.

Through this practical use of the Time Sealing Technique, Rosen also discovered that time fragments are not just the past and the future.

In fact, even the current time frame can be sealed, and sealing the current time frame is even easier.

Because of this new discovery, Rosen was even more confident in capturing the Holy Grail King, Moggaro.
