Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 233 Human Gene Lock and Awakening of Ancient God Bodies
Chapter 232

Inside Domnal's tent, Rosen looked at the Lionheart War Drum in his hand with a sense of pleasure.

The Lionheart War Drum is a treasure of the Lion-people race, and it is also a Sequence 1 Miracle Treasure. What's more, this Miracle Treasure is a rare treasure that can be used on extraordinary armies, and can increase the overall strength of an extraordinary army by more than three times out of thin air.

If this thing weren't something that only lion-men could use, the lion-man race would never have been able to keep the Lionheart War Drum.

Although what he had was only a projection of sequence 3, it could not be reused.

However, with his mastery of the finishing touch technique, which possesses a realistic concept, and using the projection of the Lionheart War Drum in his hand as a reference, even if the Lionheart War Drum he draws does not reach the level of Sequence 3, it is still enough to have the power of Sequence 4.

Rosen used the time-acceleration technique to begin copying the Lionheart Drums with all his might.

A few days later, the opening time for the Sacred Lion Spirit Realm arrived.

Rosen also reduced his disguised Sequence 2 aura to Sequence 3 over the past few days.

His disguise as Domnar looked terrible; anyone who transforms from Sequence 2 to Sequence 3 wouldn't look good.

The Sacred Lion Spirit Realm is located on the surface of the spirit world at the border between the territories of the Lionmen and Elephantmen. Since the exploration of the spirit world by the various orc races is still in its initial stage, and the news is blocked by the high-ranking officials of the two races, there is no need to worry about attracting other wolves to share the spoils.

The deities of both races who are responsible for guarding the spiritual realm are not their true forms, but rather their respective Sequence 1 divine avatars.

Even so, Rosen was terrified when he followed the lion chieftain to these two.

Fortunately, everything turned out alright. The lion-man deity never expected that someone would dare to disguise themselves as a lion-man of the second rank within their clan. Besides, entering the spirit realm was just the beginning. After coming out, they would have to go through various searches to find their hidden treasures. Under such circumstances, how could anyone possibly go to such lengths to sneak in?
If Rosen hadn't had data transmission capabilities that allowed him to escape easily, he wouldn't have entered this spiritual realm and been ambushed at the entrance.

Rosen didn't dare look at the lion-man god too much, but he did take a good look at the elephant-man demigod opposite him.

Like him, he was a Sequence 3, but this elephant-man could make his seventh sense feel a strong sense of threat.

It's clearly not an ordinary Sequence 3; it must be at least a titled demigod on par with the Beast King.

Around noon, a vortex appeared out of nowhere in the void not far away.

"Be careful."

The lion chieftain nodded to Rosen, and then strode towards the spatial vortex.

After the teleportation ended, Rosen had arrived at the camp of the Mad Lion Clan in the Spirit Realm.

This localized battle for supremacy among the Lion-men royal family involved only a portion of the members of the Holy Lion and Mad Lion tribes.

The Mad Lions have two thousand elite members, including more than a dozen Sequence 3 Mad Lion demigods.

On the other hand, the Holy Lions only had six Holy Lions, but without exception, they were all Sequence 3. They also had over a thousand Lion-man subordinates. The combat power of these Lion-man subordinates was negligible, so the outcome of the war mainly depended on the six Holy Lions.

Historically, when the Mad Lions launched a successful surprise attack, they always suffered heavy casualties before achieving a Pyrrhic victory.

With the Elephant Man over there relaying the information, a sneak attack is impossible. The combined strength of the six Holy Lions is even greater than that of the dozen or so Mad Lion Demigods and the two thousand elite Mad Lions. That's why, in every previous opening of the Spirit Realm, the Holy Lions turned the tide and won.

The most severe casualties suffered by the Holy Lion were only five, while the lightest casualties were only two.

If the difference in strength weren't significant, the Lion-man chieftain wouldn't have agreed to grant him the Sequence 3 Lionheart War Drum projection.

Rosen activated the Hunter's Eye, and his gaze immediately fell upon one of the Holy Lions located in the Holy Lion Tribe. The Lionmen had already compiled detailed information about the six Holy Lions, knowing their names and appearances, making it easy for the Hunter's Eye to monitor them.

The sacred lion, standing three meters tall, was covered in white-gold fur that radiated holy light.

They look sacred and majestic, and almost all of them can reach Sequence 3 when they grow up. With a little effort, it is not difficult for them to become titled demigods. This is the powerful advantage brought by their racial bloodline. However, in history, life forms like the Holy Lion have almost all become extinct.

The reason is simple: the smaller the population but the stronger the life form, the easier it is for it to become extinct.

The entire Holy Lion Clan has only a little over a hundred people. When there are no powerful enemies, the population can slowly increase, but once a powerful enemy appears, the population will be reduced as soon as one person dies and cannot be replenished, and eventually, it will inevitably perish.

Therefore, the Mad Lion replacing the Holy Lion was an inevitable outcome.

Rosen still remembers that in his previous life, the population of Earth was close to 8 billion, but there were also 20 billion rats and 100 trillion mosquitoes. So many people said that even if humans went extinct, rats and mosquitoes would still live well.

The reason is that mosquitoes and rats reproduce so prolifically that no matter how many humans kill, it's all in vain; humans have never defeated insects.

This is just a comparison between humans and mindless rats and mosquitoes. In the extraordinary world, powerful life forms inevitably have small populations and difficulty in reproduction. They may be powerful for a time, but once they encounter calamities and cannot replenish their population in time, they will eventually suffer the same fate as the Holy Lion Clan.

World governments have many ways to improve the overall health and well-being of humanity, but they have never done so.

The reason is that they do not want to become a race like the Holy Lions. Although the human race has a low lower limit, its upper limit is in no way inferior to top life races such as the Holy Lions.

……

Inside the Lion King's camp, all the Lion King demigods were waiting for Rosen's arrival.

Although the Lion Clan failed in the previous attempts to reset the Spirit Realm, the Lion Gods did not remain idle. They used various methods to ensure that all the Lion Demigods in the Spirit Realm retained their memories from the previous instance. Therefore, these Lion Demigods already knew that they were in the Spirit Realm.

If we can defeat the Holy Lion Clan this time, we can successfully win this battle for the Lion-Man God.

Even if they find it difficult to leave the Spirit Realm in the future, they can still enjoy wealth and honor within the Spirit Realm and live another lifetime.

When Rosen entered the tent, he saw that the seat of honor had been reserved for him, and he immediately sat down without any hesitation.

"Time is precious, so I'll get straight to assigning tasks..."

Rosen said seriously, "I have fallen from Sequence 2 back to Sequence 3. I can fight against the Elephant Man Demigod plus another Titled Holy Lion. You need to hold off the remaining five Holy Lions. Even in the worst-case scenario on the front line, you must remain undefeated."

"The Mad Lion will surely win this battle..."

"Slay all those haughty, arrogant lions who look down on others..."

"I'll take a Holy Lion down with me even if I die in this battle, since I can be resurrected with full health after the Spirit Realm resets..."

The numerous demigod lions, each speaking in turn, completely disregarded the Holy Lion.

To be this arrogant before even fighting would be considered conceited in a normal life form.

However, this is perfect for the Mad Lions. The Mad Lions' racial talent is that the more arrogant they are, the more powerful they become. People like Domnar, who are relatively cautious, are actually outliers. This is one of the reasons why the Mad Lions chieftain doesn't think highly of Domnar.

The area of ​​the Sacred Lion Spirit Realm is not large, only about a thousand miles in circumference.

The land is covered with grasslands, and the only river is the sole source of water.

At the source of the water is Mount Momera, which has a special kind of Momera stone.

In the previous extraordinary era, the greatest function of Momera stone was to purify water.

However, in the present era, Momera Stone can greatly reduce the delirium and hallucinations of all potions. Even if one's divine strength is just a little short of being promoted, taking a potion containing Momera Stone can forcibly make up for the lack of divine strength.

Therefore, the preciousness of Momera Stone is self-evident. However, because it is related to water sources, there is a seal placed on the mountain by the sacred lion god.

Not to mention that the Mad Lion cannot easily mine the Momera Stone, even the Holy Lion would have to use force to mine it.

Neither side would allow the other to mine. Whoever started mining would not only face the seal and counterattack of the Holy Lion God from the front, but would also be attacked from the back. Being attacked from both sides would inevitably result in greater losses. The only time the Holy Lion lost five people in battle was because of the strong attack on Mount Momera.

Two thousand elite Lion Warriors were fully equipped and ready to set off, heading in a direction away from Mount Momira.

At the same time, the six sacred lions, along with their entourage, also departed from Mount Momera.

The mad lion is arrogant, and the holy lion is proud, but neither of them is a fool.

There are now two gods outside, the Holy Lion and the Mad Lion. No matter how they fight, the bottom line is that they cannot harm Mount Momera.

If anyone is disobedient, the two gods will teach them a lesson.

However, on his way to Mount Momera, Rosen discovered through the Hunter's Eye that there were actually only four Holy Lions going to fight the Mad Lion Elite. Two of the Holy Lions were with the Elephant Man Demigod, and both of these Holy Lions possessed the strength of a titled Demigod.

It seems they intend to deal with him, the biggest threat, first, and then deal with the remaining elite Lion Warriors.

Rosen was having a headache dealing with the three titled demigods. He could take down one of the two-dimensional ash bees, and he could hold off one of the two-dimensional art-drawn metal slimes. Rosen would have to deal with the last one himself.

It has the four times the speed boost from the Death Belt, plus the super-fast Void Blink with no cooldown.

Rosen arrived near Mount Momera ahead of them and directly blocked the path of the three elephant-man demigods, deploying a Void Shadow Realm. Under the concealment enhancement of the wolf totem, the elephant-man demigods, who were good at sensing, did not notice the ambush.

Therefore, the moment they entered the area covered by the Void Realm, the elephant-man demigod had already been pulled into the Void Realm.

Rosen instantly retracted the Void Shadow Realm and fled, leaving behind only the Two-Dimensional Ash Bee and the Metal Slime.

After creating some distance, the self-portrait clone guarding the window in the mysterious study opened the window and put Rosen into the mysterious study. He then took the Void Shadow Realm into the Dark Continent and stopped in front of the World Tree.

While both are sources of world power, Rosen's power over the world here is at least ten times stronger.

The elephant-man demigod, who was about to break through the Ninefold Cycle Void Shadow Realm, was trapped again by the sudden surge in spatial intensity of the Void Shadow Realm. At this moment, Rosen also entered the Void Shadow Realm to face the elephant-man demigod directly.

In previous years, with the help of the Divine Blood Awakening Potion, Rosen successfully obtained the Ancient God Body, an Ancient God sequence skill.

Moreover, it is a sequence skill based on the body, and does not occupy the capacity of extraordinary source matter.

The Ancient God Body is formed by tempering the body with the bloodline of an ancient god, gradually transforming the body into that of a true ancient god.

However, many years have passed, and his ancient god body is as if it never existed.

My physical strength has indeed improved significantly, and with the daily consumption of large amounts of extraordinary ingredients, the strengthening of my physique has never stopped. However, the effects I've shown are not very strong, at least not as destructive as the spiritual power I've displayed.

After some investigation, Rosen from Paradise Pharmaceuticals roughly figured out what was going on.

He was only Sequence 4 after all, but his spirituality was able to easily cross a level because of the ancient god's sacrificial artifact.

However, if your body isn't up to par, it's difficult to find shortcuts at the physical level.

Moreover, although he obtained two super-powerful bloodlines, his own life gene map is still that of an ordinary human.

This is a restriction imposed by the World Government. Before Sequence 3, the genetic map of life undergoes a qualitative change, and the children born will inherit this change, thereby bringing their own life level closer to that of intelligent beings like the Holy Lion.

It is of great benefit to individuals, but poses a potential threat to humankind.

Only when humans become Sequence 3 will the qualitative change in their own life gene map remain unaffected.

At this point, humans are called demigods, but in essence, they are no longer human.

Demigods cannot give birth to humans. From Sequence 3 onwards, all extraordinary beings give birth to divine offspring. Of course, this is only in theory. In reality, Sequence 3 and Sequence 2 cannot combine to give birth to divine offspring. At least one of them must be Sequence 1 to give birth to divine offspring.

The descendants of the gods are not born human, and they are also unable to have offspring.

Because the divine offspring are cursed by all the true gods of humanity, they can only give birth to monstrous divine monsters at most, and can never produce healthy offspring. Humanity has relied on this method to limit the advancement of its race's life level.

However, there are always exceptions, and the World Government's restrictions are not foolproof.

If someone can break the genetic lock imposed by the World Government on the human life gene map before Sequence 3, and forcibly elevate their own life essence before Sequence 3, such an existence has the potential to advance simultaneously on both the physical and spiritual levels.

Such beings, having just advanced to Sequence 3, are already on par with titled demigods, and may even quickly become forbidden beings.

The so-called forbidden life is an extraordinary life that has reached the extreme in both body and spirit.

Sequence 0 is not necessarily a forbidden life form, but even the worst forbidden life form can grow into Sequence 0.

Rosen's physique had already met the requirements for a forced promotion in his life level.

However, there is still a lack of sufficient pressure to fully unleash the potential inherent in one's own life genes.

In fact, when facing Qinong's divine avatar, he had the opportunity to advance his life level.

However, there are too many variables in fighting against Qinong, so he dares not gamble and does not want to gamble.

In comparison, the threat posed by the elephant-man demigod is much lower, and Rosen is fully confident that he can advance his life level this time.

"Humanity……"

When the elephant-man demigod saw Rosen appear, his initial enthusiasm cooled.

He dared to disguise himself as a lion-man in front of two gods and successfully infiltrated their ranks to ambush them.

Such a being is either insane or foolish, or confident in dealing with all threats.

The elephant-man demigod gripped the heavy hammers in both hands and stomped down with his elephant foot, shattering space with the force of the impact. His entire right leg was smashed into a pulp, but in doing so, he shattered all nine layers of the Void Shadow Realm.

The elephant-man demigod burst out of the void realm on one leg, only to see a magnificent, unimaginably giant tree before him.

Even upon seeing this tree, it evoked a sense of reverence in a demigod.

The origin of all life is the World Tree, so the life gene will instinctively make him revere the World Tree.

Rosen seized the opportunity, and in the instant he flashed into view, he threw a punch at the spine.

He had never practiced any fighting skills, relying solely on brute force. He didn't even use any damage-enhancing skills like Ash Armor Break, and as a result, his punch only left a bloody fist mark on the elephant-man demigod's armor.

Rosen failed to injure the elephant-man demigod, but instead injured his own fist.

However, he didn't care at all, because what he wanted was for his body to be pushed to the brink.

The elephant-man demigod broke free from his instinctive worship of the World Tree, turned around and attacked from both sides with his double hammers, but Rosen blocked them with his arms. Without giving Rosen, whose arms were shattered, a chance to escape, the elephant-man demigod had already unleashed a shockwave strike.

Rosen's entire body was instantly shaken, causing countless hidden injuries, but these injuries were completely healed in an instant.

He used his fists to block the giant hammer weighing 100,000 jin from the elephant-man demigod.

The elephant-man demigod completely overwhelmed Rosen, but he couldn't be happy at all.

Because this human is simply a monster. His arm can be instantly restored after being shattered, his body can be instantly restored after being fractured, his head can be instantly regenerated after being blown apart, and he can even be restored to its original state after being smashed into a pulp.

No matter how you fight them, they can't be killed, and you can't even find a scratch.

The elephant-man demigod was on the verge of collapse, but Rosen's condition was getting better and better.

However, he still hasn't been able to break through, because he now has two options.

Within his veins flowed the blood of primitive humans, while the blood of ancient gods was fused with the extraordinary essence of nobles.

If the blood filling the blood vessels were transformed into the bloodline of ancient gods, the difficulty of awakening the body of an ancient god would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

However, since Rosen had decided to use the bloodline of primitive humans as the main bloodline of his body, he would not easily change his mind. Therefore, he planned to use the powerful compatibility of the primitive human bloodline to forcibly turn the ancient god's body into a part of the primitive human bloodline.

So the pressure from the elephant-man demigod wasn't enough, and Rosen immediately released a large number of Ash Bees.

Instead of attacking the elephant-man demigod, these ashen bees stung Rosen's back.

It relies on the true damage of the Ash Bee to forcibly suppress its terrifying healing ability originating from the Holy Grail Crown.

This time, Rosen truly began to suffer injuries, and the damage he endured finally outweighed his healing abilities.

Faced with the threat of death, the power hidden within every cell, every gene, and every drop of blood is gradually released, and the genetic locks imprinted on the human body by the World Government are shattered one by one.

Finally, at the moment when the last genetic lock collapsed, Rosen's ancient god body began to perfectly integrate into the bloodline of primitive humans.

Initially, Rosen was being utterly crushed, but gradually his physique grew stronger, and he began to fight back.

Without any spiritual enhancement, Rosen's fists could easily tear the sky and the earth apart.

His fists grew faster and harder, his body was refined from ordinary iron into divine iron, and his vitality increased a thousandfold. At this moment, he felt that if he used his enhanced psychic power, the destructive power of any punch he threw would be no less than that of a nuclear explosion.
