Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 231 The Art of Points and Lines and Two-Dimensional Ash Bees
Chapter 230

"No valuable memories can be found..."

Daisy said disappointedly after painstakingly reading Qinon's mental memories.

Rosen was also somewhat disappointed, but he knew that all of this was reasonable.

Memory, by its very nature, has its own weaknesses.

Aside from the original body having 100% complete memories, beings like divine clones usually only retain basic memories and most of their combat memories; there's no need to retain those memories that involve their own secrets.

However, on the other hand, memories cannot be completely erased just because you want to.

Anything that has ever existed will inevitably leave a trace.

Therefore, there is still hope of recovering the deleted memories. Daisy, the psychologist, is best known for this kind of ability. Of course, even if it takes a lot of effort to recover some of the deleted memories from Chinon, they will definitely be incomplete.

With the time accelerated five times by the Time Tower, Daisy estimates that it would take at least six months in reality to complete the deep excavation to erase the memories.

Rosen certainly couldn't wait six months, so he was already preparing to leave Totem Canyon.

"You probably won't be able to leave for the next six months."

Daisy reminded him immediately after she found out.

"why?"

Rosen asked, puzzled.

"Qinong will locate his divine avatar and chase it to the chaotic sea."

Daisy said affirmatively.

Rosen immediately understood that Totem Canyon was not a place they could leave for the time being.

Unlike Daisy, who was able to evade the identification of her second personality because her primary personality possessed some methods unknown to the second personality, Qinon could not conceal his divine alter ego using conventional methods.

A secret study would be fine, but he didn't want to reveal his biggest secret to Daisy.

Since he couldn't leave, Rosen decided to focus on his studies.

After obtaining the Holy Grail King title, the faith of the Church of the Supreme God has a new purpose. These days, he has been using the Holy Grail of True God's Authority to absorb faith and strengthen his own extraordinary essence. Therefore, he will soon be able to master more high-sequence skills at Sequence 4.

His first choice was the art of dimensions, which is a high-sequence skill that truly empowers painters.

Painters below Sequence 3 rarely have skills for direct combat.

They usually hide in the Void Gallery, facing enemies by using their accumulated spiritual paintings to outnumber them.

However, painters cannot hide forever; there will always be times when they are cornered and forced to confront others directly.

Other painters don't have a hunter sequence, so they must master powerful direct combat skills in such situations.

The art of dimensions is a skill of Sequence 3.

However, this kind of skill is notoriously difficult to learn, but fortunately, Rosen has a legacy-type painting of the Spirit Realm.

Rosen hung the art of dimensions on the wall, and after infusing it with divinity, he was immediately drawn into the space within the painting by the spiritual realm.

The painting depicts a 49-story space, but Rosen has only reached the first floor.

This is an art studio, completely empty.

Rosen wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but he found that his body was being controlled by an external force, and even his divinity was out of control. Under the control of the external force, he summoned the magic pen and began to draw points representing zero dimensions on the wall.

However, this point is a bit too large; it is clearly not a truly zero-dimensional point.

Rosen now understood that this was the power of the Inherited Spirit Realm painting, which was using his body to gradually guide him from the basics, hand in hand and heart to heart, to familiarize his body and spirit with how to draw a qualified zero-dimensional dot.

A true zero-dimensional point is infinitesimally small, but a paintbrush cannot create such a small point.

The true zero-dimensional point, the circle drawn with a brush is just a disguise. In reality, it requires divinity as the raw material and special spiritual rune combinations as the technique. First, draw a large circle, and then rely on the divinity and spiritual runes within the circle to continuously shrink the point.

This is a painting technique that is easy to learn but difficult to master, because before the true God, one can only ever infinitely approach the true zero dimension.

Without mastering the authority of time and space, and without supreme divine power sufficient to fully unleash the full might of these two authorities, it is impossible to point out the true zero-dimensional black point with a single stroke. Therefore, the zero-dimensionality referred to in the art of dimensions is actually just a facade.

However, even though it's fake, it doesn't diminish the fact that it's an incredibly terrifying drawing technique.

Rosen holds global power and also controls five-dimensional painting.

So he quickly learned how to draw a point. At the same time, the first space he was in collapsed, immediately taking him into the second space. If the first space was about learning how to draw points, then the second space was about learning how to draw lines.

The essence of a line is the distance between two points; a line can be infinitely long, and it can also be infinitely short.

This time, the transmission began with hands-on guidance for Lawson on how to draw two dots, how to draw the line between the two dots, and how to incorporate spiritual runes into the line with divinity in the simple process of drawing the line.

At first, Rosen drew thick, long lines.

In the end, the spiritual runes in the painting made the line shorter and thinner.

Rosen studied very diligently and learned very quickly.

Because the essence of these painting techniques is nothing more than the mastery of different rules and authority.

With Daisy's guidance, Rosen now understands that rules and laws are very different.

Different eras have different supernatural systems, but no matter which era, the true god is not affected in any way. What is affected are the gods of Sequence 0 and beings below them, because apart from the true god, other levels hold the authority of rules rather than the authority of laws.

The law refers to the original operating principle of all things in the world.

Rules refer to the influence and control that intelligent life has on the laws governing the operation of all things.

To put it more simply, the rules are incomplete laws.

Many people can master the rules, but only one person can master the complete set of laws.

Therefore, there is only one true god in the same sequence, but there can be more than one in sequence 0.

The laws remain unchanged, but the rules change with the times.

The changes in the extraordinary system of the main world are essentially changes in the rules, not changes in the laws.

Every era and every extraordinary system will ultimately converge on the path of a true god who has completely mastered the laws.

The terrifying aspect of the great true god lies in its ability to create new laws within the framework of the inherent laws of the main world and integrate them into that framework.

So it's quite clear that the inheritance Rosen is receiving now is essentially about gradually gaining different powers through painting.

As expected, the third drawing did not extend from drawing lines to drawing a picture, but instead began to redraw zero-dimensional dots.

However, this time, the spiritual runes incorporated into it have changed.

If the last fusion of spiritual runes mobilized the power of space, this time it is mobilizing the power of time.

Then, in the fourth space, Rosen unsurprisingly learned to draw lines again.

However, just like the third space, the spiritual runes integrated into it have transformed from space into time.

Next comes the fifth space, the sixth space, and even the inheritance spaces that follow.

Rosen began to learn to draw dots and lines, but the spiritual runes incorporated into them changed from space to time, and from time to different elements, from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to wind, thunder, light, and darkness. Up to this point, 22 of the inherited spaces had dissipated.

Rosen has definitively concluded that the art of dimensions is essentially about seizing power over the world through painting.

What is the authority of the world? Essentially, it is the sum of all the authority of rules.

Therefore, without a doubt, the authority of the world is the strongest authority, and the laws of the world are the strongest laws.

There are probably only two generations of ancient creator gods who truly mastered the laws of the world.

As for the incomplete world laws that constitute world authority, it is known that the World Tree can naturally grasp world authority, but whether there are any other entities that can grasp world authority is completely unknown. Rosen also indirectly grasped some world authority by relying on the World Tree.

The upper and lower limits of world authority are very low because world authority contains too many rules and powers.

If you want everything, the result will inevitably be that everything you have is mediocre.

Currently, Rosen's control over the world primarily revolves around the rules of time, space, light and darkness, creation, and the seven deadly sins. He only needs to grasp a small portion of the other rules, as he doesn't have the energy to study them in depth; enough to barely constitute the world's authority is sufficient. However, through the art of dimensions this time, Rosen's control over the rules of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness has been greatly enhanced.

When he entered the 23rd inheritance space as he had hoped, he did not continue to contact new rules and authority by using the spiritual runes that incorporated points and lines. Instead, he began to further integrate the rules and authority he had previously mastered.

For example, the fusion of time and space, or the fusion of wind and thunder.

In a total of 22 inheritance spaces, Rosen learned the technique of fusing 22 different spiritual runes.

However, this is not the end, because theoretically, there are still three more rule fusions and four more rule fusions. However, this further fusion is not something that this inheritance can pass on to him. He needs to rely on these 22 combinations to create more combinations of rule authority in the future.

So, with the last five inheritance spaces remaining, Rosen began to formally learn the techniques of how to paint in the art of dimensions.

How to reduce the dimension of a painting to a line, or how to reduce the dimension of a painting to a point.

Then, how to instantly elevate the dimension of the drawing sealed within the point and release it in an instant.

Once he had completely mastered the last technique, Rosen suddenly had fifty additional memories of painters in his mind.

No wonder the Inherited Spirit Realm painting shows that there are fifty people in it, but he has never seen any of them since he received the inheritance. It turns out that these people refer to the painter's memories. The inheritance of dimensions is essentially a skill inheritance created by 50 Sequence 3 painters working together.

[The Art of Dimensions: The ability to weave spiritual runes with divine inspiration, sealing multidimensional paintings into points and lines]

Learning a skill is just the beginning; the key is how to apply it.

Rosen set up his easel, opened the Void Sketchbook, prepared his materials, and began to create a spiritual painting on the blank canvas behind him.

He drew a metal slime, a sequence 4 metal slime.

In the final stages of the painting, a finishing touch was added to make the metallic slime in the painting even more realistic.

Therefore, if the metal slime were to be materialized from the painting, its strength would be no less than that of a Sequence 4.

Even with the final enhancement, the resources consumed in creating this painting are enough to exchange for a Sequence 4 extraordinary artifact.

Therefore, the style of painting a group of Sequence 3 angels of light, like Mogaro's, is definitely the "rich man's style" among demigod painters.

However, even the wealthiest person has a limit to the Sequence 3 Angel of Light that Mogaro can materialize.

The degree of divinity determines the maximum number of divine manifestations that can be simultaneously achieved.

Moreover, the ability to materialize a Sequence 3 Angel of Light is the limit; unless one masters a high-sequence skill, it is almost impossible to materialize a Sequence 2 Angel of Light.

Rosen is the same. He is no longer considered an ancient god artifact. His spiritual strength is 63 points. The newly added point is the improvement he received during the process of inheriting the art of the dimension. So he spent two months drawing 63 Sequence 4 metal slimes.

Rosen casually picked up a painting depicting a metallic slime, then took out his magic pen and drew a line in the painting.

The next instant, the metal slime in the drawing disappeared, leaving only the line that had just been added.

He continued to take out more spiritual paintings of metal slime, and then drew lines and dots. In the end, all 63 spiritual paintings disappeared, leaving only dots and lines on the sheets of paper. Then he concentrated all the dots and lines into one painting.

Rosen eventually used these dots and lines to draw a metal slime that looked like it was made of dots and lines.

Finally, 63 points of spirituality were infused to materialize the metal slime in the painting.

Immediately, a lifelike metal slime emerged from the painting, but its aura was not Sequence 4, but Sequence 3. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Sequence 3, but the kind of Sequence 3 that could hold its own against the divine avatar of Qinon.

Rosen was slightly taken aback; this was one of the uses of the art of dimension.

First, similar spiritual paintings are sealed into dots and lines, and then they are recreated into new spiritual paintings.

Ultimately, the power of the entire painting is equivalent to the superposition of 63 spiritual paintings, which is far more powerful than summoning 63 Sequence 4 metal slimes.

Rosen continued to try a second method, summoning the Wood Elf Queen from the Ancient God Realm.

"Wait a moment, make sure you are fully prepared, and try to break out of this painting."

As Rosen spoke, he took out a Sequence 6 painting depicting a sacred realm with an ancient tree of life.

The Wood Elf Queen nodded. However, the Sequence 6 Spirit Realm painting couldn't possibly trap her. But since Rosen had made the request, he would definitely use other methods. So she didn't let her guard down at all and instead focused all her efforts on bringing herself to her peak condition.

The painting in Rosen's hand, the Sequence 6 Tree of Life on the paper, vanished instantly.

Only a fist-sized dimensional dot remained. Then, this dot began to shrink. As the dot shrank, the temporal and spatial authority contained within it began to lock onto the Wood Elf Queen, forming a spacetime vortex.

Because it is only a Sequence 6 Spirit Realm painting, it carries limited temporal and spatial authority.

It wouldn't be difficult for the Wood Elf Queen to forcefully break free from the pull of the spacetime vortex. However, if this painting were a Sequence 3 Spirit Realm painting, the spacetime pull it would generate after transforming into a dimensional dot would be enough to forcibly pull the Wood Elf Queen into the Spirit Realm world within the painting.

Having given up resistance, the Wood Elf Queen was sucked into the painting in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the dimensional dot continues to shrink, and shrinking it to the size of a molecule is the limit that Rosen can currently reduce.

The Wood Elf Queen, who should have easily torn through the Spirit Realm and emerged from it, was forced to fight her way out of the dimensional point after a full three hours. This was because, after the Spirit Realm painting collapsed into a dimensional point, her power was suppressed to Sequence 5 by the dimensional reduction of the Spirit Realm.

This is the second use of the art of dimension: sealing external objects into the painting and then reducing the overall dimension of the painting.

Not only will the sealing strength of the space within the painting increase dramatically, but the power of the sealed people and objects will also be greatly suppressed.

The art of dimensions has two uses, and these are just the basic uses that Rosen has explored so far.

Even so, Rosen can still hold his own against any Sequence 3 opponent.

If combined with five-dimensional painting, he couldn't even imagine how powerful the final painting would be.

Rosen sent the still-shaken Wood Elf Queen back to the Ancient God Realm and began setting up easels in his studio at the Void Gallery. This time, he wasn't going to paint metal slimes; he was going to paint Sequence 4 Ash Bees.

Like the Slime Nest, the Ash Bee Nest has also been upgraded to Sequence 5 by Miracle Synthesis.

Since it's possible to mass-produce Sequence 5 Ash Bees, it's not difficult to synthesize a batch of Sequence 4 Ash Bees using Miracle Synthesis.

On the other side, the self-portrait clone was responsible for compositing, while Rosen himself was responsible for drawing.

With the final stroke, he completed a Sequence 4 Ash Bee spiritual painting, then incorporated an Ash Bee synthesized into the painting. This made the Ash Bee materialized from the painting not only stronger, but also prevented the entire painting from being completely destroyed if it was destroyed.

Once all 72 spiritual paintings containing the Sequence 4 Ash Bee were completed, Rosen began to create secondary works using dimensional art.

Finally, using 72 points and lines, an Ash Bee composed of points and lines was redrawn.

Rosen activated the ancient god's ritual artifact, transforming spirituality into divinity.

Then, I'll prepare to summon the Ash Bee from the painting at its maximum potential to see how strong it is.

However, at that moment, the painting in his hand underwent a special change.

【Two-Dimensional Ash Bee: A Miracle Painting】

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Miracle Attribute: Can summon a Sequence 3 Two-Dimensional Ash Bee]

[Miracle Traits: True Armor Penetration, True Damage, True Pain, True Hit Chance, True Sting, Unique in the World, Eternal and Undying]

Rosen never imagined that this painting would become a new miracle painting.

Perhaps it was because the real Ash Bee was sealed away, or perhaps it was because after drawing the Metal Slime, he mastered the art of dimensions and truly poured his heart and soul into this painting. In any case, this painting became a new miracle artwork.

All miracle traits have the "true" prefix.

True Armor Penetration ignores almost all defenses below Sequence 2; True Damage deals damage below Sequence 2 that is almost impossible to heal; True Pain makes any Sequence 3 player writhe in agony; and True Tracking makes launched stingers unavoidable.

Finally, the real bee sting gives it an effect that is as persistent as a bone-deep infection, making it difficult to get rid of once it's in.

Rosen went to the window of the mysterious study and looked outside through the window.

At this moment, at least a hundred Sequence 3s had gathered in Totem Canyon, searching for him everywhere.

Having learned his lesson from the first mistake, Qinon seems to have become more cautious this time. He has deployed a large number of Sequence 3s to search for Qinon's whereabouts and hunt him down. As for Qinon himself, he has probably devoted himself to creating and arming new Sequence 3 divine avatars and is now hiding in the shadows, acting cautiously.

He had originally planned to leave, since dealing with so many Sequence 3 demigods was not an easy task.

The divine clone that Qinong created with all his might is definitely much more powerful and difficult to deal with than the previous one.

But now that the 2D Ash Bee has appeared, Rosen is going to make sure that Chinon is completely outmatched.
