Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 234 The Ancient God's Punch and the Holy Lion's Coat
Chapter 233

Rosen merges spirituality and life force, transforming ordinary mental energy into spiritual mental energy.

The greatest advantage of spiritual energy is that it can be manipulated freely without any adjustment period.

However, this surge in vitality was too great, to the point that even his spirituality could not fully control it.

While exchanging blows with the elephant-man demigod's twin hammers, Rosen began to inject the life force he had converted into Nen into the Gluttonous Nen Beast. Soon, the Gluttonous Nen Beast in his sea of ​​consciousness had transformed into a colossal creature a thousand meters tall.

The Gluttonous Beast was so full that it began to use its Nen energy to generate golden apples.

Because the Nen was too powerful, the materialized golden apple actually took root and sprouted in the sea of ​​consciousness, gradually growing into a Sequence 3 golden apple tree. The Nen ability to create the golden apple directly transformed into the materialized golden apple tree.

Even so, there was still too much spiritual energy, so Rosen continued to strengthen the God-Slaying Crossbow, the God-Hunting Demon Eye, and the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seed.

The Godslayer Crossbow has been integrated with the Dragon King's Wrath, so strengthening the Godslayer Crossbow is strengthening the Dragon King's Wrath.

Originally, Dragon King's Wrath, a Sequence 4 monster, needed to hunt a large number of dragon beasts to evolve into Sequence 3. However, this time, with the enhancement of Nen, it directly grew from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3. This kind of growth undoubtedly broke the norm.

However, Rosen thought again, could the spirituality and life of a dragon beast compare to the life force of an ancient god's divine body?

It is obviously inferior. After all, the ancient god sequence has access to the world's gene pool. It is not difficult for them to transform their own life genes into dragons and then directly become dragons. Therefore, the life force of the ancient god's body may be a better evolution material for the Dragon King's Wrath.

In order not to delay the Dragon King's Wrath transformation, Rosen even slowly integrated his own ancient god bloodline into it.

However, this also delayed the transformation process of Dragon King's Wrath, so it seems that we can't expect to use Dragon King's Wrath in the upcoming battles.

Rosen continued to infuse the remaining Nen energy into the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seed, thus transforming and evolving the Demon Seed's Nen abilities into new ones.

The original demon seed could only parasitize and absorb the Seven Deadly Sins, but now, once the demon seed absorbs enough of the Seven Deadly Sins, it can materialize from the seed into human form Seven Deadly Sin Beasts. Each Beast, after absorbing enough of the Seven Deadly Sins, can possess combat power no less than that of an ordinary Sequence 3.

Moreover, the Seven Deadly Sins Beasts are not best at physical damage, but rather at the spiritual damage caused by the Seven Deadly Sins Curses.

The Seven Deadly Sins Beasts were eating too much, and the surge in life force within Rosen's body finally stabilized.

A vast, ocean-like spiritual energy surged forth from his body, instantly forming a layer of flowing black flames around him.

The light emanating from Rosen weakened instantly, as ninety percent of his spiritual energy was concentrated in his right fist.

The instant he transformed his spiritual energy into enhancement energy, he threw a punch at the giant hammer of the elephant-man demigod.

The giant hammer did not break; the giant hammer of the elephant-man demigod was a transcendent artifact of Sequence 2 quality.

However, the giant hammer recoiled and flew out of Rosen's hand. The spiritual energy that Rosen had concentrated in his right fist lost its restraint due to the collision with the giant hammer, instantly creating an impact force more terrifying than a nuclear explosion. In the blink of an eye, a black sun rose up within a radius of a thousand miles.

Rosen never expected that his punch would cause such great damage.

The last thing he could do was to unfold the repaired Void Shadow Realm and try to envelop the black sun as much as possible. Even so, the Void Shadow Realm did not block all the damage, and the dissipated energy fluctuations still shrouded the surrounding area in darkness.

When the darkness dissipated, or more precisely, when the Seven Deadly Sins' spiritual energy within the darkness was devoured by the Seven Deadly Sins' spiritual beasts.

Rosen saw that the elephant-man demigod, lying in the impact crater dozens of miles away, was not dead. Such beings have many ways to save their lives, but the elephant-man demigod was indeed seriously injured. Many parts of his body had been dissolved by the power of Gluttony, so deep that the bone was visible.

The injuries weren't serious, but the demigod's mentality had been completely shattered.

How could he not see that the human he was fighting had been using his body to fight from beginning to end? To be able to injure him to this extent with his physical strength, it was obvious that this human had become a legendary monster of the forbidden level.

While lying in the pit, the elephant-man demigod had already made various attempts.

Attempts to contact the elephant-man deity failed.

They attempted to tear this world apart and return to the Holy Lion Spirit Realm, but ultimately failed.

They couldn't even manage to severely injure that human with all their might.

Because that human's regenerative ability was terrifying; his head could grow back instantly after being taken off.

All the things he wanted to do and was able to do failed, leaving only despair. Otherwise, he was a seasoned warrior who had risen to become a titled demigod over thousands of years, constantly on the brink of death. His mentality would not have collapsed so easily.

Of course, the most fundamental reason why demigods like humans became like this is not despair.

Nen itself is colorless and transparent, but Rosen's Nen is black.

This is because he incorporated the power of the Seven Deadly Sins into his Nen. The demigod was severely injured by a punch from Nen containing the power of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the power of the Seven Deadly Sins also seeped into his body and divinity.

Although the Seven Deadly Sins do not involve despair, all of them are negative emotions.

Overwhelmed by countless negative emotions, the elephant-man demigod's own negative spirit was amplified infinitely.

Rosen teleported to the edge of the pit and summoned the Void Gallery in an instant.

The skull burning with blood flames opened its mouth, revealing a picture frame inside. Within the frame was a painting of the Void God Prison Spirit Realm. At that moment, the Void God Prison in the painting suddenly shrank into a fist-sized dot, locking onto the elephant-man demigod and emitting a terrifying spatial suction force.

The elephant-man demigod did not resist and remained imprisoned in the Void God Prison, still immersed in despair.

Rosen was still rejoicing over his improved strength when he suddenly sensed two intensely resentful gazes.

Looking back, he saw the little elves Mona and Jasmine glaring at him angrily.

Looking at the devastated environment and the charred base of the World Tree, and then thinking about the grass and trees that used to be everywhere, Rosen suddenly understood why the two little ones were angry.

He didn't want to fight here either, but he was worried that the elephant-man demigod might have some means to contact the elephant-man gods.

The battlefield was chosen next to the World Tree rather than in the divine realm simply because the environment there was more suitable for the awakening of the ancient god's divine body.

As the source of all life, living around the World Tree can greatly enhance the efficiency of bloodline awakening.

The wood elves who have lived here for many years have already developed their bloodline talents considerably.

Rosen comforted the two little ones and promised to draw more nature fairies to help them plant trees when he had time.

Only then did he have some free time to carefully experience the changes that occurred after the ancient god's divine body awakened.

He had already experienced the surge in vitality and the extraordinary physique. Both of them were enveloped by the shockwave of that punch at close range. The elephant-man demigod was covered in wounds that revealed the bone, while he, apart from losing his clothes, had no wounds on his body.

In addition to these, all of his physical abilities were enhanced.

Needless to say, his basic five senses remain the same, but the biggest change is that his ancient god body awakened and gave birth to a special ability.

Rosen instantly transformed into an abyss demon, then a vampire, then an angel, and even a nature fairy, leaving Mona and Jasmine, who hadn't left yet, dumbfounded.

Mona suddenly realized something, and covered her collar with both hands, looking at Rosen in horror.

She had secretly witnessed Rosen bullying Alicia more than once.

They tried to stop it, but it was all suppressed.

Later, she got used to it and was more than once grateful that she was young enough to escape Rosen's clutches.

Now that Rosen was the same size as her, Mona thought of Alicia, who had been bullied by Rosen to tears more than once, and suddenly felt that her future was bleak. But then she thought that she couldn't fight back against Rosen at all, and tearfully resigned herself to her fate and began to unbutton her clothes.

Rosen turned his head and saw Mona, who was engrossed in her role. His face darkened and he transformed back into a human.

Then, with a casual twist of space, he sent Mona and Jasmine back to the World Tree.

He had no interest in teaching Mona a lesson right now; all his attention was focused on the changes in the ancient god's body.

It turns out that by relying on the World Gene Bank, he can also adjust his own life fund map.

However, that conversion speed was very slow, completely different from the instantaneous change speed just now.

More importantly, the original transformation was only superficial and did not involve any changes to the fundamental bloodline.

Because it's easy to transform the bloodline of an ancient god into the bloodline of another race, but it's not so simple to transform it back.

However, now that the Ancient God bloodline can switch at will to the original bloodline of any flesh and blood race, it means that he can obtain the bloodline talent of any flesh and blood race. Thinking of this, he became a mad lion and obtained the bloodline talent that becomes stronger the more arrogant he is.

When it comes to arrogance, Rosen has a huge advantage in this area. With the Soul of Pride, plus the countless arrogance absorbed by the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seed, he clearly feels his power being enhanced in all aspects once again. Now, even if he fights as Domnar, he doesn't have to worry about being exposed.

Rosen returned to the Holy Lion Spirit Realm, which was now ravaged by war.

The two-dimensional ash bee and the metal slime, one focused on offense and the other on defense, were not only not at a disadvantage against the two Sequence 3 Holy Lions, but were also about to completely defeat them. It was visible to the naked eye that the two Holy Lions were covered in porcupines.

The fact that we haven't lost our ability to resist due to real pain is all thanks to the Holy Lion's racial talent.

It immunizes against almost all negative states, so the effect of real pain perception is greatly reduced.

The Holy Lions were actually somewhat effective against the Two-Dimensional Ash Bees, but their immunity had its limits. As the number of real bee stings that clung to their bodies increased, the two Holy Lions were starting to feel the strain.

At this moment, Rosen returned, while the elephant-man demigod disappeared.

The two holy lions immediately realized that they were likely to fail this time. The elephant-man demigod's defeat had given these mad lions the opportunity to outnumber the enemy. Now that the outcome was decided, it was time to end the war.

The power of the Spirit Realm is not limitless; reviving each Sequence 3 requires a large amount of resources.

Therefore, the elephant-man demigod had already agreed that this battle would not result in life or death. The losing side would occupy 40% of the space within the spirit realm, and the winning side would occupy 60%. From then on, they would not come into contact with each other. Without the casualties of demigods, the losses from resetting the spirit realm would be greatly reduced.

However, before the two Holy Lions could even concede defeat, Rosen had already begun to unleash his deadly attack.

If we can be immune to almost all negative states, can we also be immune to positive states?
Rosen directly manipulated the seven deadly sin beasts of greed, envy, and wrath, while simultaneously casting a divine curse originating from the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God, forcibly reducing the greed, envy, and wrath of the two holy lions.

Emotions are something you can't have too much of, but you can't have too little of either.

A significant reduction in greed can stimulate the positive emotion of generosity.

A significant reduction in feelings of jealousy can foster positive emotions such as tolerance.

An excessive reduction in anger can stimulate the positive emotion of gentleness.

Generosity, tolerance, and gentleness—these positive emotions are irresistible to the Holy Lion.

However, more positive emotions are not necessarily better. Being too mild-mannered can lead to smiling even when your wife slaps you in the face. Being too tolerant can lead to forgiving your wife even if the neighbor steals her away. Being too generous can lead to giving your beloved wife to your brother.

At this moment, the two Holy Lions were like this: Rosen punched them, breaking their bones and tendons, yet they were still shouting for them to stop.

Even after the twin daggers severed an arm, the lions remained patient and dodged, showing no intention of retaliating.

In fact, to achieve this level of perfection with just the seven deadly sins, one would need to be on a higher sequence.

Only a Sequence 2 Seven Deadly Sins Demon could toy with two Sequence 3 Holy Lions in this way.

Rosen's success this time was mainly due to the fact that he also used other methods.

His ash curtain was projected directly into the consciousness of the two holy lions, and in conjunction with the manifestation of the demon god, he simultaneously cast the Seven Deadly Sins curse.

Finally, the True Sting of the Two-Dimensional Ash Bee was added. Although most of the damage was immune to the Holy Lion, the talent of immunity to negative damage consumes a lot of divinity. Therefore, the divinity of the two Holy Lions was very weak and they were powerless to resist the double positive curse.

Rosen didn't capture the two Holy Lions alive, and taking them out won't be so easy.

It's not difficult to bring out non-intelligent superhuman beings from the Spirit Realm, but to permanently bring out intelligent superhuman beings is out of the question unless you completely control the Spirit Realm. So he directly cut off the heads of the two holy lions and then used the Hunter God to directly obliterate the divine origin.

Unexpectedly, all they got was the corpse of a sacred lion.

This time, the scavenging space unexpectedly yielded two more loot orbs.

Since gaining the ability to hunt Sequence 3 monsters, Rosen has noticed that the number of loot orbs he collects is decreasing.

The reason is simple: the formation of loot orbs originates from the hunting authority of the hunter sequence.

However, this divine authority is borrowed. There are almost no hunters who truly possess the divine authority of hunting, because a true god has been born from the divine authority of hunting, and the laws of hunting are under the control of this god. Without this god's permission, it is difficult for other hunters to master the divine authority of hunting.

In the past, when hunting sequences below 3, the hunting gods could easily turn their prey into spoils.

However, Sequence 3 began to fail because Sequence 3 members possessed divine power.

To transform the fallen Sequence 3s into trophy orbs, the hunters must first confront the clash with divine authority.

Unless the hunting divine authority suppresses the divine authority of the fallen sequence 3, the chance of forming a loot orb will become very low.

Rosen casually crushed two orbs of light, one of which contained a portion of the Holy Lion's extraordinary bloodline.

As for the other one, it is a rare and extraordinary object of primal nature.

【Original Essence - Sacred Lion Trench Coat: An Extraordinary Item】

[Level: Sequence 3 (Evolution Value 0%)]

[Attribute: Increases base defense by 70%, grants immunity to 70% of base damage]

[Source Characteristics: Holy Lionheart, Light Walker, Holy War Cry, Holy Protection, Holy Critical Strike, Holy Resurrection, Holy Evolution]

[Equipment Requirements: Hunter Sequence 3]

With seven primal properties, he acquired seven skills from the Holy Lion Bloodline sequence.

The Holy Lionheart can convert life force into holy light battle energy; the Light Walker can move by transforming their body into light elements; the Holy War Cry can dispel negative effects and also grant positive buffs over a wide area; Holy Light Protection is a purely defensive skill; and Holy Critical Strike can amplify damage by five times.

Divine resurrection is, of course, resurrection, but the condition for resurrection is that the divine essence still exists.

Finally, Divine Evolution refers to the ability of this extraordinary artifact to absorb the extraordinary essence of its own kind and thus evolve.

Rosen immediately extracted the extraordinary essence from the other Holy Lion's body and integrated it into the Holy Lion Garment, increasing its evolution value to 10%. This meant that killing the remaining four Holy Lions would prevent them from evolving, unless they could clear the Holy Lion Spirit Realm again in the future.

Rosen had made up his mind to get a share of the profits in this spiritual realm.

Even if he offends two more Sequence 0s, he's not afraid of offending human Sequence 0s, let alone two alien Sequence 0s. Of course, if he handles it well, he might not offend them, because as long as his identity isn't exposed, sneaking in quietly isn't difficult.

Rosen put on a pure white Lion coat, the surface of which had a thin layer of Lion fur.

With this outfit, I'll never have to worry about being naked in close combat with the Ancient God's Body again.

Rosen maintained his Domnar transformation, glanced at Mount Momira not far away, and turned to leave.

Originally, he was supposed to carry out destructive mining of the Momera stone.

But that won't work now; he's planning to hunt more sacred lions to evolve his sacred lion trench coat.

Therefore, he should at most hoard a small amount of Momera Stones. Otherwise, if he arouses the suspicion of the gods of both races, it will not be so easy for him to hunt the Holy Lion again. If their own spiritual realm is stolen by humans, the gods of both races, for the sake of their reputation, might rather destroy the Holy Lion's spiritual realm than let him get away with it.

Rosen's side achieved a great victory, while the remaining battle between the four Holy Lions and the Mad Lions was exceptionally fierce.

However, in general, the defeat of the Holy Lion was only a matter of time.

Because Rosen handed the Lionheart War Drum to the Mad Lion Demigod, the Mad Lion's overall combat power was at least doubled under the enhancement of the Lionheart War Drum at Sequence 3. Under such circumstances, if neither side had any intention of fighting to the death, the four Holy Lions might already be dead.

However, both sides held back then; now the four Holy Lions have gone completely berserk.

The Holy Lion Realm is too small. Rosen killed two Holy Lions over there, so it wouldn't be difficult to find the four Holy Lions here. Therefore, the Elephant Man Demigod's instructions had long been forgotten. The four Holy Lions, driven to the brink of despair, are now trying to take one down with them if they can.

Rosen used the Soul of Pride and the bloodline talent of the Mad Lion to push his power to the limit.

Without hesitation, he used the two skills of Domnar stolen by Greedy Hand, further increasing his damage with the Berserker's Fury skill, and also used Berserker Claws to maximize the damage of his claws before pouncing directly on the most seriously injured Holy Lion.

In less than half an hour, Rosen had killed all four Holy Lions with the help of the Mad Lion Demigod.

He landed the final blow, but didn't get any more loot orbs.

However, the evolution value of the Holy Lion Coat has reached 50%, and four complete corpses of Holy Lions have also been obtained.

Looking at Rosen, who was covered in blood, even the surviving Mad Lion Demigod looked at him with some awe.
