Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 227 The Undead Knight and the Miracle Card, the Holy Grail King

Chapter 226

Amidst the ultra-high temperature of dragon breath, reaching tens of billions of degrees, a figure, appearing and disappearing, stepped out step by step, treading on raging flames.

Wearing a crown and wielding the Holy Sword of Kingship, although his clothes were burned off, the watery light emanating from his body blocked all the heat of the dragon's breath. The Dragon King's Roar, which had recently killed Mogaro, could not harm Siri in the slightest.

"No, it's not that it wasn't injured, but rather that it possesses an exceptionally terrifying healing ability..."

After carefully sensing it, Rosen muttered to himself in disbelief.

His Ash Armor Piercing technique inflicts real physical damage on the bodies of extraordinary beings.

His innate skill, Godhunter, deals full true damage to divine abilities.

Regardless of the nature of the injury, they all share the characteristic of being difficult to heal with conventional methods.

In particular, Ashbreaker has the miracle ability Life Steal, which can continuously deprive Sylvie of her life force.

However, according to his perception, whatever amount of life force Xirei had been deprived of, his life force would immediately recover in the same amount.

His vitality was like that of an unkillable cockroach.

He wasn't completely unharmed by the Dragon King's Roar, but he was able to instantly heal from the continuous real damage caused by temperatures of hundreds of billions of degrees, which in a sense is almost like being immortal.

Rosen could no longer care about feeling sorry for himself, and in a flash, he summoned the demon god from the Void Gallery.

Grasping the top edge of the frame, the seven deadly sins demons in the painting came to life, facing Xi Lei.

Previously, it absorbed the Seven Deadly Sins of tens of thousands of painters and hundreds of billions of subjects through the Demon Seed. The power manifested by the Demon God has accumulated from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2 through the miracle characteristic Demon Feast. Its full power is enough to maintain its destructive force for two hours.

However, once the demon god leaves the painting of miracles, he will not stop until he is killed in battle.

Moreover, even if the Void Realm, strengthened by 50 Sequence 3 Angels of Light, were to merge with the Möbius strip and have nine layers of Void Realm, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand the clash between the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God and Sylvie. In that case, Rainbow City would be the first to be destroyed.

The moment the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God stepped out of the canvas, Rosen was torn apart from head to toe by a single sword strike, turning into paint and vanishing without a trace.

This is what's called a self-portrait clone; if it were the real person, they might die once.

Even if it were a self-portrait clone, Rosen was confident he could dodge it.

He deliberately didn't dodge, entirely to create an opportunity for the Seven Deadly Sins.

Siri lowered his head; his heart had stopped beating, for his heart was being pierced through his back and held in the hand of an abyss demon that had suddenly appeared behind him, and that hand was forcibly merging something into his heart.

In an instant, he reversed his grip, grabbed the Royal Sword, and pierced through the heart, simultaneously striking the palm of the Abyss Demon behind him.

The terrifying suction power caused the right hand of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God to instantly become skin and bones.

However, Xi Lei regretted it the next moment, because some force was corrupting and seizing control of the Holy Sword of Kingship.

Xi Lei instantly charged forward with a skill, abandoning his heart and the Holy Sword of Kings to forcibly shake off the Abyss Demon behind him. Immediately afterwards, the Holy Sword of Kings transformed into a card and flashed into his hand. After transforming back into the Holy Sword of Kings, he turned around and performed a charging leap slash.

Charge, leaping slash, and parry – these are just three simple knight skills used repeatedly.

Despite this, Sirée held his own against the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God, even subtly suppressing it in close combat. Only when the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins' curse would Sirée suffer repeated heavy blows.

However, no matter what kind of injury he suffers, Xi Lei's terrifying self-healing ability can heal him instantly.

Rosen, who was watching the battle through the mysterious window, was now a little worried that the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God would lose to Sirius.

On the surface, this Siré only used three simple skills, but in fact he also used various physical enhancement and damage-boosting skills. Then, with just three simple skills, he fully unleashed his terrifying speed and destructive power.

However, this shouldn't be the full strength. Even the knight with the simplest fighting style will definitely have some killer moves.

Similar to his Dragon King Roar Bullet, similar to his Time Bullet, it instantly strips away lifespan.

Siri didn't use any of his knightly killing moves; it felt more like he was trying to conserve his divine power as much as possible.

Rosen roughly understood what was going on. Xilei had withstood the true damage of the Dragon King's Roar Bomb. Although his injuries could be instantly restored through the terrifying healing effect, restoring injuries consumed divinity, so Xilei's divine power had been greatly depleted.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen this low-cost, protracted war tactic when facing a powerful enemy like the Seven Deadly Sins.

On the surface, it appears to be a head-on confrontation, but in reality, it's just a simple delaying tactic.

As long as the restored divinity is greater than the divinity consumed in the battle, the longer the battle is delayed, the higher the chance of victory. On the other hand, the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God can only fight for two hours. However, the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God has already used all his strength. The strongest Seven Deadly Sins Curse spell has only a fraction of its effect on Siré.

Rosen is now almost certain that the King of the Grail is definitely not Sequence 3, but most likely Sequence 1.

A projection of the Void Prison appeared behind Rosen, and the Dragon King's Wrath began to lock onto and shoot the prisoners one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the Time Dragon Crystal had accumulated the power of 30,000 years. All the power of time was transformed into a time bullet that could deprive the enemy of 6,000 years of life. After the bullet was loaded, it was not fired immediately, but continued to shoot prisoners, repeating the same action as before.

Before he mastered the Seventh Sense, Rosen could only condense one Time Bullet at a time.

Now that he has gained the ability to perceive the concept of time, and with the world's authority including the authority of time, his mastery of time is enough for him to simultaneously condense multiple time bullets. With the amplification of 71 points of spiritual strength from the ancient god's sacrificial artifact, he can accumulate up to 7 time bullets.

As the final time bullet finished condensing, Rosen immediately transformed Dragon King's Wrath into a sniper rifle.

The moment it locked onto Sirai, the time bullet was fired through the future silencer and disappeared without a trace.

When it reappeared a few seconds later, it had already hit Xi Lei perfectly.

Seven consecutive time bullets instantly stripped Siri of 42000 years of lifespan.

Furthermore, when Rosen fired the time bullet, he also used his innate skill, Godhunter, which gave the time bullet true damage against divinity.

Without life extension methods, each sequence from 4 to 7 would only add a thousand years to the lifespan.

Of course, generally speaking, considering factors such as bloodline, the lifespan of a Sequence 4 is rarely less than five thousand years.

Starting from Sequence 3 to Sequence 1, each sequence level adds at least 10,000 years to the lifespan.

Since his seventh sense has enabled him to perceive the concept of time, Rosen has been able to easily sense how long other people's lives are.

Xi Lei has lived for 20,000 years, and still has 35,000 years of life left.

Rosen's seven-shot burst of time bullets was enough to instantly wipe out Sirai's remaining lifespan.

However, after being hit by seven time bullets, Xi Lei only aged from his prime to old age. Although his lifespan had reached zero, he was still able to fight against the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods with great energy. The sudden memory gap of 42,000 years did not affect his battle at all.

Rosen suddenly realized a possibility: Siri and Mogaro might have shared each other's lifespans.

Siri's lifespan ended, but Mogaro's lifespan allowed Siri to continue living.

Rosen continued firing time bullets, but after a dozen or so, Sirai was no longer affected; his lifespan had been completely depleted and could no longer be reduced. Meanwhile, Mogaro was hiding behind Sirai, and the time bullets could not hit Mogaro, so his lifespan could not be reduced any further.

Although it didn't instantly kill Xi Lei, it did cause Xi Lei's body to age and decay.

Both their strength and speed were greatly affected, and even their resistance to the Seven Deadly Sins curse was significantly reduced.

If this continues, Sirée will soon die at the hands of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Xi Lei was also aware of this, and was finally forced to use all available means.

A head grew out of the back of Ciel's head; this was Moggaro's head.

Mogaro also wears a crown, but there is a clear difference between the crowns worn by Siri and Mogaro. The former is a crown, while the latter is a tiara. Although both are crowns, one is for men and the other for women.

At that moment, Rosen also sensed the power belonging to the Queen of the Grail from Mogaro's head.

However, this power is very weak and not genuine; it is probably a counterfeit drawn by Mogaro in imitation of the power of the Queen of the Grail.

Although the power of the Queen of the Grail is fake, it still resonates with the power of the King of the Grail at this moment.

Xi Lei's perception instantly increased to a terrifying level, to the point that all the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God's offensive intentions were clearly captured by Xi Lei's perception. What's even more terrifying is that the Seven Deadly Sins' curse not only failed to harm Xi Lei, but instead made him stronger in every way.

From being driven to the brink of despair just moments ago, Xi Lei has now utterly defeated the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods.

This forced the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God to further burn the power of the seven deadly sins within him through the Demon God Feast. While his own power was further enhanced, the time he could sustain the battle was also reduced many times over, leaving him with less than ten minutes.

Both sides simultaneously entered a state of extreme burst, and even the constant spatial resets of the Void Shadow Realm could not withstand it.

The boundary of darkness was torn apart, and the energy surge that left the Void Realm ripped the buildings of Rainbow City to shreds.

With the combined power of the two Sequence 2 forces colliding at full strength, Rainbow City was reduced to ruins in just a few seconds.

Those civilians who hadn't yet evacuated were all reduced to ashes by this time. Meanwhile, Duke Hal and several other Sequence 3 individuals, thousands of miles outside the city, were fleeing at breakneck speed.

The current emperor of the Aurora Empire is only a Sequence 2. Rainbow City is beyond saving. If there is any accountability to be settled, it will be the responsibility of the World Government's Noble Council. There is no need for the Sequence 3s to risk their lives. If anyone really wants to stop it, it will be the Aurora Emperor with the Sky Mirror.

Seeing that the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God still couldn't defeat Shire, Rosen couldn't sit still in the mysterious study any longer.

After a year of hard work and such a huge investment, we can't let it all go to waste at the last minute.

If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to acquire Sire and Mogaro again.

Rosen gritted his teeth and began to adjust his ancient god bloodline through the World Gene Bank.

He quickly adjusted the bloodline of the ancient god to be indistinguishable from that of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God. Then, through the miracle treasure that revealed the true form of the demon god, he summoned back the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God who was in battle in an instant. The demon god merged into Rosen's body the moment it approached him.

Sylvanas was only a partially crippled Sequence 2, and the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God should not have been unable to defeat him.

The key is that the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God cannot use its full power, and that Rosen has not released the consciousness of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God in the painting. Even though his spirituality is no less than that of a Sequence 3, he, being only a Sequence 5, cannot completely suppress the consciousness of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God, which is equivalent to a Sequence 2, by using the manifestation of the demon god.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods fought almost entirely on instinct under his remote control.

Rosen has now absorbed the power of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God into his body and is directly controlling this power. This will certainly unleash stronger combat power, but the power of Sequence 2 is undoubtedly a huge burden for him, so he only has less than a minute at most.

However, during this period, he was able to combine and fuse his own power with the power of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God.

Rosen instantly marked Sirai with a Fate Mark, giving him continuous true damage.

The Mark of Fate also comes with a guaranteed hit that ignores distance, so he thrust his twin daggers forward into the void, and Xirei, who was charging toward Rosen, was hit by the dagger from a distance. The four characteristics of poison, weakness, sharpness, and instant death were activated at the same time.

The instant death spell had clearly taken effect, but Sirée was clinging to his last breath and refusing to die.

Fortunately, the toxicity of the Ash Bee Honey contained in the poison, as well as its weakening properties, took effect, making Siré even weaker.

Rosen seized the opportunity and activated the Miracle trait of the Miracle Treasure, the Blazing Shadow Stone: Soul Blazing Shadow.

By burning one's soul, one can rapidly increase their spirituality by one level in a short period of time.

His spiritual strength, which was originally comparable to Sequence 3, instantly surged to Sequence 2 under the amplification of Soul Blaze.

At this point, in terms of sheer spiritual strength, Rosen was in no way inferior to Shire.

Many abilities that were previously limited by the difference in soul strength and could not take effect instantly can now all be used.

Rosen activated the Fate Balance property of the Miracle Flame, locking onto Sirée and beginning to alter his destiny.

The transformation of fortune through the balance of destiny is not instantaneous; the greater the spiritual gap between the person seeking to change their destiny and the target, the slower the transformation process.

However, now that both sides are at the same level of spiritual strength, the speed of energy transformation is very fast.

Rosen transformed all of Xi Lei's acquired fortune into innate fortune.

Then, it gathers its innate fortune to form a destiny eraser, quickly clearing the innate fortune of Xi Lei's Sequence 3 to zero.

He also simultaneously used a human mannequin to restrain Sirée's body, making it difficult for him to move.

Although additional damage inflicted during this period will release the mannequin from its restraints, this refers to damage to the body and spirit. Damage that reduces luck is too sophisticated and subtle, which conveniently avoids the mannequin's weakness in restraining enemies.

Rosen finally released his divine territory, and with a heavy heart, used the divine territory, which had been promoted to sequence 4 over the past year, to unleash the Ten Directions Annihilation.

The entire divine realm instantly collapsed in dimensions, from five-dimensional space to zero-dimensional space.

Unable to dodge while restrained by the mannequin, Xi Lei was instantly killed by the Ten Directions Annihilation of the Ancient God Sequence.

Each sequence level's Ten Directions Annihilation can only be used once, so using it on Xi Lei is really a waste.

However, Rosen couldn't care less about the loss in the next instant, because no loot orbs appeared in the scavenging space.

This means that even the Ten Directions Annihilation did not completely kill Xi Lei. At this moment, Rosen's seventh sense detected that a card had escaped from the zero-dimensional space formed by the collapse of the Ten Directions Annihilation and was fleeing into the distance.

Seeing that the card was about to disappear, Rosen had a sudden idea and shared all of Farah's power.

The card, which was fleeing, was instantly drawn to the power of the Queen of Grail within Rosen like a magnet. In the blink of an eye, it had entered his sea of ​​consciousness, and then two conjoined souls emerged from the card and began to attack Rosen's soul.

Although Siré and Moggaro, who were instantly killed by the Ten Directions Annihilation, managed to preserve their souls and divine essence with the help of the Holy Grail King.

However, his body was completely destroyed, and even his divine realm was annihilated and shattered by the Ten Directions Annihilation.

The reason for choosing to return under these circumstances is that he wanted to use the power of the Grail King over the Grail Queen to forcibly take over Rosen's body, attempting to transform the conjoined twins, composed of two souls, into a conjoined twins composed of three souls.

However, soon, Sirée and Mogaro discovered something hopeless.

They tried to forcibly possess and merge with him, but how could two Sequence 2s be no match for a Sequence 4?

Because Rosen's soul is protected by the divine authority of pride, and now it is further empowered by the power of the Seven Deadly Sins, a Sequence 2 demon, and his soul is also protected by the Miracle Flame. Even a Sequence 1 demon skilled in manipulating souls might not be able to possess his soul.

Not to mention that Rosen possesses the innate skill of Godhunter, which allows him to convert all his methods into damage against divinity.

Rosen directly embedded the Blazing Shadow Stone into the Nightmare Shackles, giving the Nightmare Shackles the Blazing Shadow Soul property.

Then, he bound the souls of Siré and Moggaro with the Nightmare Shackles and forcibly ignited their souls with the Soul Shadow. At this moment, the Grail King could no longer protect their souls and could only let the Nightmare Shackles imprison, bind, and seal their souls and divine origins.

A few hours later, Rosen lay half-dead in the core space of the Tree of Life.

A large amount of life essence nourished his body and his soul, which had been almost burned away by the Soul Blaze. The golden apple and the star fruit were also helping his spiritual origin to recover little by little. Even so, it would take at least several years to fully recover from all his injuries.

However, looking at the card floating in front of him, Rosen felt that all the effort was worthwhile.

[Miracle, Essence, Divinity, King of Cups: The Fallen Tarot]

[Level: Sequence 1]

[Attributes: The King of Cups can imbue cards with divine water and air attributes, and can control all minor arcana cards]

[True Divine Authority 1: Holy Grail Crown - Can lock health points and can infinitely heal all injuries by consuming faith]

[True Divine Authority 2: The Holy Sword of Royal Authority - The power to wield royal and divine authority and to establish rules to a limited extent]

[True Godhood 3: The Grail of Origin - Able to absorb faith to strengthen one's own Origin]

[Miracle Traits: King's Game, Unique in the World, Eternal]

Before the power of Soul Shadow faded, Rosen, relying on his spiritual strength at Sequence 2 at the time and the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God's ability to seize extraordinary elements, forcibly refined the miracle card, the Holy Grail King.

Leaving aside the attributes, Sylvie used this to suppress the Queen of Cups Tarot card.

There is no divine authority, only three true divine authorities, but each of these true divine authorities is extremely terrifying.

By using the Holy Grail Crown, a symbol of true divine authority, Syre became an indestructible cockroach, impossible to kill.

The Holy Sword of the Kings is in no way inferior to the Holy Grail Crown; the reason why Sirée and Moggaro are the way they are now is because of this true divine authority.

The Holy Sword of Royal Authority is essentially a weakened version of the laws of ecology. Unlike the laws of ecology, which are permanent rules and authority, the Holy Sword of Royal Authority has a smaller scope of rules and authority, and it requires continuous consumption of faith power to maintain its existence.

However, in actual combat, the consumption of the Royal Sword is far below the ecological norm.

It was with the aid of the Holy Sword of Kings that Syre created the curse rooted in the divine essence of Mogaro.

Mogaro also used the Holy Sword of the King to tightly trap Siré.

Finally, the two extraordinary individuals, Siré and Mogaro, whose aptitudes weren't particularly high, were able to advance to Sequence 2 despite holding each other back over the years, thanks to the third True God Power Source Grail, which essentially allowed them to continuously absorb faith to strengthen their extraordinary source.

As for the powerful perception that Mogaro displayed, Rosen still hadn't figured it out.

Now, the divine essence of Siré and Mogaro has been sent to the Hall of the Dead in the painting "The Hall of the Dead" to listen to the music played by the musician Stig and a group of musicians, and to fall into a deep sleep under the influence of the miracle treasure, the Lullaby of Repose.

Once his injuries have fully healed, he will be able to use mind control to uncover all their hidden secrets.

Rosen finally looked at the Miracle Ability King Game, the only Miracle Ability the Grail King possessed.

Logically speaking, even if all the concentrated essence is taken from the essence, and excluding the unique and eternal, Sequence 1 should have at least three miracle traits. However, the Holy Grail King only has one miracle trait, which shows how special this miracle trait is.

To activate the King's Game, you must simultaneously control both the King of Cups and the Queen of Cups.

Then, all holders of the Minor Arcana cards can be forcibly summoned, forcing everyone to participate in the King's Game. Rosen didn't know what special power the King's Game possessed until it was activated.
