Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 226 Lucky Tagis and Unlucky Mogaro
Chapter 225

Rainbow City, Rainbow Castle of the Wilkins family.

Hal, the current hereditary Duke of Wilkins, was in his prime and fathered dozens of sons.

However, apart from the two youngest sons who have non-hereditary titles and have been promoted to the noble sequence, the rest can only be promoted to the silver sequence. Duke Hal favors his two youngest sons because both of them are offspring of his sons from when he was in sequence 4.

The stronger the bloodline passed down through generations of nobles, the more difficult it is for them to produce offspring.

The higher the level of the extraordinary life sequence, the more difficult it is to have offspring.

Conversely, the offspring born from such offspring are also of better quality.

The Duke of Hal's first few dozen sons were the result of hard work at Sequence 9, and their innate extraordinary bloodline and aptitude were somewhat lacking. They might be excellent enough in a minor noble family, but they were not worth the effort to cultivate in the Wilkins family.

Therefore, only the two youngest sons with the best aptitude will be groomed as the next generation of dukes.

The reason for training two instead of one is that if only one is trained, and that one is incompetent in all aspects, there will always be a backup. If both are incompetent, then either a successor will be chosen from the grandchildren, or a way will be found to have a third child.

Although both were sons of Duke Hal, their status was higher the later they were born, and the same was true for the allocation of resources they received.

In this situation, the worst thing is comparison; as long as there is comparison, there will be resentment and jealousy.

Moreover, not all hereditary dukes are like Duke Hal, who enjoys having children.

In this situation, Duke Hal's eldest son, Targis Wilkins, watched as the eldest sons of other noble families were all high and mighty, while he, the eldest son, became a laughing stock. Gradually, Targis's mentality became more and more unbalanced.

Today, Tajis went to collect cultivation resources, and the extraordinary resource he desperately needed just happened to come across to his younger brother.

This was his younger brother, born of the same parents. Yet, this obedient and adorable brother of his took all the extraordinary resources without hesitation, leaving him nothing. Clearly, he couldn't possibly use all of them; taking them all was obviously intentional.

Tagis knew perfectly well what was going on; of all his father's sons, he was the least talented.

The two younger brothers have been fighting for the right to inherit the dukedom for years. Another half-brother has been using him, the useless older brother, to humiliate his younger brother for years. Over time, the younger brother often finds him an eyesore, but why should he be blamed for all of this?

Tagis silently returned to his wizard tower—no, only temporarily.

Because he is the oldest, although his talent is the worst, his rank is not the lowest.

Therefore, one of the wizard towers passed down through generations of the family was temporarily given to him for use.

However, some of his younger brothers who also chose the wizarding path are already close to catching up with his path level. When that happens, the wizarding tower that has been with him for many years will also be taken away, and the only path waiting for him will be to go to the front line.

“I’m so unwilling…”

Tajis laughed self-deprecatingly.

"If you're not willing to accept it, then try to change it..."

The sudden sound from the side sent a chill down Tajis's spine, as he had just closed the door and turned his back to the study.

As the controller of the Wizard Tower, Targis could not hide even the presence of an extra mosquito inside.

However, he was unaware that someone had entered his heavily guarded study.

Tagis instantly realized that it would be easy for the mysterious person behind him to kill him.

"If you're not stupid, then come and sit down."

Rosen, seated in Taggis's chair behind the desk, extended the invitation.

Tagis obediently turned around, went to the desk, took out a stool from his spatial ring, and sat down awkwardly.

"Let me first explain why I'm here..."

Rosen frankly stated, "There is a formidable enemy in this city whom I must capture alive. The weakest is Sequence 3, and the strongest should not exceed Sequence 1. I am not sure of the exact Sequence level of this formidable enemy before we officially engage in combat, so I need to make some preparations."

There are two reasons for making preparations: first, to have a way out in case of defeat; and second, to prevent the entire city of Rainbow City from being wiped out.

After all, I am a nobleman of the World Government, and I cannot bear the sin of destroying human cities.

Now I need your help to make various arrangements in Rainbow City.

In return, I can alter your aptitude, and even help you inherit the Wilkins family's hereditary title if you're willing to become my subordinate after the war. If you choose to refuse, I will erase your memories and visit your brother.

"I choose to become your subordinate, but please convince me as well."

Tagis, recalling the humiliation his younger brother had suffered, spoke without hesitation.

Rosen nodded, took out the hereditary duke's emblem ring, and released a divine pressure equivalent to Sequence 3 under the amplification of the ancient god's sacrificial artifact. Finally, he pulled Tagis into the Void Shadow Realm, allowing him to witness the Demon God's manifestation in the painting.

Tagis's last remaining concerns vanished, and he completely gambled his fate on the mysterious man before him.

As time went by, everyone in the Wilkins family noticed that Tudges had changed.

Instead of remaining patient, they became confident and assertive.

Having remained at Sequence 6 for many years, the wizard has grown to Sequence 5 in a short period of time.

They even invited many alchemists from other cities to build their own private wizard towers.

Such a dramatic change naturally attracted all sorts of inquiries.

At a party, Tajis also revealed the secret behind his astonishing transformation.

It turns out that his extraordinary bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form, which directly led to a surge in his talent. In addition, he met a teacher who was passing through Rainbow City and was successfully taken in as a student by a Sequence 2 wizard. The wizard tower was a gift from his teacher.

Rosen, who had successfully disguised himself as a Sequence 2 wizard, was greeted by Duke Hal the following day.

Rosen's disguised Sequence 2 is not some cheap knock-off without a clear identity or origin.

Rather, this person truly exists. In Daisy's multiple personalities, one of the personalities parasitizes and controls this Sequence 2 wizard. Of course, the control of this personality is no longer in Daisy's main personality's hands, but is controlled by the second personality that occupies the main body.

Unless someone can contact the genuine product, it won't be easy to expose Lawson's high-quality counterfeit goods.

No one knows what Rosen and Duke Hal discussed, but that day Duke Hal moved Targis to first place in the line of succession, which brought Targis countless envy, jealousy and hostility within the family.

"How did you do it?"

After finding Rosen, Tagis asked excitedly.

"The extraordinary bloodline of your Wilkins family is the Light Griffin, which wields the power of light..."

Rosen replied, "However, the potential of the Light Griffin is only Sequence 3, and this extraordinary bloodline is very domineering. It can increase the chance of becoming Sequence 3 by one-third, but the chance of becoming Sequence 2 is reduced by half."

I know of a lineage of light and dark wizards that can allow you to fuse with the shadow bloodline to offset the weaknesses of the light griffin's bloodline.

This would give future generations of the Wilkins family a greater chance of advancing to Sequence 2.

"I will never forget your kindness."

Tajis said, moved to tears.

Rosen believed that Tajis was genuinely moved at that moment.

However, people's hearts are easily changed, so when he strengthened Tagis's extraordinary bloodline through the World Gene Bank, he had already planted the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds in Tagis's spiritual origin. Unless he becomes a Sequence 3, he will not be able to discover the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds.

However, by then, Rosen would be at least Sequence 1.

By then, the Seven Deadly Sins demons will have evolved many times, so Targis is destined to never escape his control.

In the days that followed, Rosen continued to modify Taggis's extraordinary bloodline.

Duke Hal summoned several of his old friends, and after studying the matter, they were astonished by the changes in Tagis.

If it weren't for the fact that it's harder to reshape one's extraordinary bloodline the stronger one becomes, Duke Hal would have been tempted to beg Targis's teacher to help him reshape his extraordinary bloodline at great expense. As the days passed, Targis's wizard tower was finally nearing completion.

Even the most magnificent castle will inevitably cast a shadow under the sunlight.

The sky above Rainbow City is filled with rainbow-like aurora borealis, creating a visual feast of light and shadow.

However, today, the shadow of the Wilkins family's Rainbow Castle, which was originally shrouded in light, has come to life and is now turning around to shroud the light. In a short time, with the Wizard Tower of Targis as the core, the entire Rainbow City has been enveloped by the Void Shadow Realm.

Because of Duke Hal's prior notice, the extraordinary individuals in the city were not surprised.

Because everyone knows that this lucky guy, Tagis, has mastered both light and darkness, and this time he even plans to take advantage of the completion of the Wizard Tower to extract the light and shadow of the entire Rainbow City and create the prototype of a special divine territory.

Not long after becoming the first in line to the throne, Tagis finally obtained the noble status he had always dreamed of.

It has only been less than a month since the Duke of Hal changed his class to a Sequence 9 noble, and he is already shaping the prototype of the Divine Realm territory. In order to prevent any accidents, Duke Hal invited many old friends to Rainbow City to help stabilize the order.

Rosen knew without a doubt that Duke Hal's old friends were there to guard against him.

After all, he was too good to Tagis, so good that Duke Hal was uneasy.

But it doesn't matter, he never intended to harm the Wilkins family anyway.

He just needed a reason, a reasonable reason to shroud the entire Rainbow City in the Void Realm.

In this way, he can use the cover of the Void Realm to successfully peel away the past time fragments of Rainbow City.

Rosen took out a copy of Rainbow City that he had prepared beforehand, and infused his own time-attribute divinity into the painting in his hand. The power of the Time Sealing Technique allowed his divinity to shroud Rainbow City under the cover of the Void Shadow Realm.

Once the extracted time fragment is separated, this segment of Rainbow City's previous seven days is also integrated and sealed within the painting.

Rosen eventually fixed the painting and the Rainbow City depicted in it within the divine realm of Tagis.

As long as Tagis's divine territory and this painting are not completely destroyed, no matter what kind of damage Rainbow City suffers now, after the war ends, Rosen can use the power of time to reverse time in Rainbow City back to before its destruction.

Of course, the primary battlefield was in the Void Realm, while Rainbow City in the outside world was merely a second, unavoidable battlefield. With no further reservations, Rosen began to wait for the Rainbow Pearl to mature.

On this day, thousands of rainbow oysters in the ethereal realm beneath the deep pool of the cliff waterfall nurtured the first batch of rainbow pearls.

The self-portrait clone, which had arrived earlier, collected this batch of rainbow pearls and immediately began to secretly collect all the rainbow aurora around the cliff waterfall. Until the last rainbow aurora was left, it harvested more than 600 rainbow pearls that had been fused with the rainbow aurora.

The truth eventually came out, and the Wilkins family's men at Cliff Falls soon discovered that all the rainbow aurora had disappeared.

Such a big thing couldn't be kept secret, and soon everyone in Rainbow City knew about it.

Mojaro Andrade, who was leisurely painting in the city, had lost all his calm and confident smile.

There are many things that can suppress the curse on him, but the most cost-effective one is the Rainbow Aurora.

More importantly, he also learned a secret: the secret of the mass extinction of rainbow clams.

Thousands of years ago, the Wilkins family farmed over a hundred rainbow clams.

At that time, rainbow pearl production was very high, and once a rainbow aurora was formed, it would immediately be fused with rainbow pearls.

However, one day, a rainbow aurora transformed into a special elemental life form.

The Duke, the ancestor of the Wilkins family who reached Sequence 2, relied on the elemental lifeform formed by the rainbow aurora to successfully overcome the bloodline defect of the Light Griffin and advance to Sequence 2.

Since then, the rainbow clams have suffered a catastrophic event, leaving only six remaining.

The reason they weren't completely wiped out was simply because the Wilkins family didn't want to cut off their source of income entirely.

Since then, the production of rainbow pearls has been far lower than the number of rainbow auroras that have been created.

As more and more rainbow auroras are preserved, the chances of unique elemental life forms naturally increase.

Mogaro has been living in Rainbow City for hundreds of years, waiting for new elemental life to emerge from the rainbow aurora.

Now that all the rainbow aurora has disappeared, it means that his path to eradicating the curse on him has been completely cut off.

Mogaro was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder, but then a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.

Only the Wilkins family could have accumulated so many rainbow pearls.

Therefore, the Wilkins family is definitely the ones who collected all the rainbow aurora and then cried wolf.

Could it be that they did this suddenly because, without his knowledge, Duke Hal had already discovered that some rainbow aurora had become elemental life, and thus collected all the remaining rainbow aurora to feed the elemental life of the same origin?

That Sequence 2 wizard who suddenly appeared in Rainbow City might also be after the Rainbow Aurora.

With that thought in mind, Mogalo left the Void Gallery and opened the Void Album, where he drew a door that appeared before him.

Pushing open the door, Mogaro had already quietly slipped into Rainbow Castle.

However, the moment Mogaro appeared in Rainbow Castle, the entire castle was shrouded in endless darkness.

Everyone in the Rainbow Castle except Mogaro was expelled from the darkness.

This sudden turn of events not only made Mogaro realize that he had fallen into a trap, but also alarmed Duke Hal. Just as he was about to join forces with a few old friends to forcibly break through the darkness from the outside, Tagis stepped forward to stop Duke Hal.

Duke Hal then realized that Tagis's teacher had actually used Rainbow City as a battlefield to trap and kill powerful enemies.

And the theft of those rainbow aurora lights was all stolen by someone hiding in Rainbow City.

This forced Duke Hal to evacuate everyone in the city with a dark expression; as expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

……

In the Void Realm, Mogaro looked at Rosen, who had appeared opposite him, with surprise.

Since Farah escaped from the Holy Grail Queen and appeared in the world, he has devoted all his energy to searching for Farah and the man in front of him. However, he has drawn countless causal prophetic paintings and used many other prophetic treasures, but all of them have failed to predict the future.

Mogaro never expected that the enemy would infiltrate Rainbow City and set a trap for him.

Moreover, given his powerful senses, the trap wasn't directly aimed at him, but rather indirectly placed in Rainbow Castle, using the rainbow aurora to lure him into it. This way, even with his heightened senses, he would have difficulty detecting anything amiss.

However, it would be too naive to think that a Sequence 4 could trap and kill him.

Mogaro opened the Void Album, and dozens of pages were flipped through in an instant.

Dozens of angels of light emerged from the paintings, a full fifty Sequence 3 angels of light. The immense divine power of light they released almost instantly destroyed the Void Realm. However, Rosen smiled upon seeing these angels of light.

He was worried that Mogaro would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that Mogaro would be using the summoning style of the painter sequence.

Some painters excel at depicting extraordinary life forms that summon creatures, while others specialize in painting extraordinary objects that are shimmering with gold as they walk. Still others are skilled at painting natural wonders that rely on powerful natural forces to defeat enemies. As long as one has enough energy, one can master all of these combat styles.

However, the 50 Sequence 3 Angels of Light clearly indicate that the main focus is on summoning, with other playstyles as secondary.

If Mogaro were to materialize other extraordinary beings through the Void Book, breaking through the Void Realm with 50 Sequence 3s wouldn't be difficult at all.

However, if all of them are light, which is the opposite of darkness, then these angels of light are basically useless.

Rosen instantly activated the balance of light and darkness. This was a rule that he had permanently established in the Void Realm by consuming 10 billion high-grade spiritual crystals and using the Ecological Celestial Instrument. Now that light is stronger than darkness, the balance of light and darkness will weaken light and strengthen darkness.

Therefore, it is visibly clear to the naked eye that the divine aura emanating from all the angels of light has drastically decreased.

However, the strength of the Void Realm has increased significantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mogalo instantly released the Divine Realm from his sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows. The entire Divine Realm was built like a paradise, with angel reliefs everywhere. However, the paradise was full of ruins, and the angel reliefs were all stained with blood and had hideous faces.

Mogalo instantly concealed the spatial barrier of the divine realm, leaving the divine realm defenseless both internally and externally.

However, because of this, his divine realm is in direct and close contact with the Void Shadow Realm.

Mogaro released the Void Gallery and hid inside. At that moment, all the bloodstained angel statues came to life. There were hundreds of them, each of them no lower than Sequence 3. A small number of them attacked Mogaro's Void Gallery, while the majority of them attacked Rosen.

This sudden turn of events made Rosen's face turn green. When did Sequence 3 become so common?
Mogaro is definitely not a Sequence 3 painter. At his peak, he was definitely Sequence 2. However, he was cursed by some powerful curse, so he only showed a Sequence 3 level. Now he is using the cursed divine territory to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

Without hesitation, Rosen took out the Abyss Horn and blew it to summon a tributary of the Abyss Blood River.

Few things can compare to the River of Blood in terms of filth, and few curses can threaten it. At this moment, the River of Blood suddenly descended and blocked all the cursed angel statues.

Mogaro, hiding in the Void Gallery, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Those cursed angel statues that only know how to kill, if they continue to move forward, won't they just be following the river of blood into the abyss?
If banishing the cursed angel statues would rid him of the curse, Mogaro has done so for many years. In fact, the angel statues helped him share the curse. If the angel statues were completely destroyed, the dispersed curse would fall back on him.

So Mogaro was immediately driven to a dead end and had no choice but to manipulate the Void Gallery to teleport to the front of the Abyss Blood River.

Then, he materialized the gallery maze within the divine realm, trapping all the angel statues by himself.

When Rosen saw Mogaro do this, he immediately realized that the angel statues were actually Mogaro's weakness. He had summoned the Abyss Blood River tributary just to avoid a direct confrontation with these mindless angel statues, but he hadn't expected that he would accidentally cause Mogaro to suffer the consequences.

Rosen transformed the Dragon King's Wrath into a giant sniper cannon and began to build up various skills by delivering a fatal blow.

Finally, he burned his own divinity, converting all damage into true damage against divinity.

The moment the Dragon King's Wrath was fully charged, the Dragon King's Roar Bullet was launched.

The ultimate cannon fire of Dragon King's Wrath already puts a huge burden on it, and the pressure from charging up is even greater. As a result, countless cracks appeared inside and outside Dragon King's Wrath. But at this moment, Rosen used the power of Momentary Time.

It can reverse the time of the Dragon King's Wrath alone, so that all the damage to the Dragon King's Wrath is instantly restored.

The Dragon King's Roar Shot struck the gallery labyrinth, and endless light and heat were transmitted through the sound waves of the dragon's roar, releasing super-high temperature dragon breath that penetrated everywhere, to the point that Mogaro's Void Gallery began to melt little by little, and even the true damage burned the angel statues to ashes.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and Mogaro's Void Gallery and Divine Realm had vanished.

However, amidst the gradually dissipating dragon's breath flames, a burly figure emerged, wearing a crown and wielding a royal sword. Rosen recognized this figure all too well; it was none other than Farah's brother, Sirai Simmons.

So it wasn't Mogalo who murdered Xire, but rather Xire who murdered Mogalo?

No, Mogaro and Silva should be hurting each other.

Upon closer inspection, Rosen noticed a slight change in Xirei's appearance, as if traces of Mogaro's features remained on his face. Therefore, Mogaro and Xirei were likely mutually destructive and mutually restraining.

It is precisely because of this mutual checks and balances that Farah has been able to remain unaffected in the Blue Whale Kingdom for the past 20,000 years.

Rosen just shot and nearly killed Mogaro instantly, allowing Siri, who had been sealed by Mogaro, to finally break free.

Whether the two sides are enemies or friends now depends entirely on Sirée's choice.

"Hand over Fara..."

Siri raised the Royal Sword in his hand and pointed it at Rosen.

What do you plan to do to Farah?

Rosen questioned.

"Make her my queen."

At this moment, Xi Lei's gaze became excited and frantic.

"It seems Farah is going to be disappointed."

Rosen said he would no longer hold back.

The one confronting Xirei was merely a clone of his self-portrait. His true self had already retreated into the mysterious study during the time that the Dragon King's Roar had severely injured Mogaro, setting up the Dragon King's Wrath behind the window to prepare for a second round of preparation, all so that Mogaro wouldn't be completely dead and he could finish him off with another shot.

As a giant bullet appeared out of nowhere, the second Dragon King Roar bullet struck Xirei.
