Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 258 The Gluttony Trap and the Uncrowned Dragon King

Chapter 257

After the Dragon God Battle ended, all the pure-blooded dragons obtained the Lordship Ring.

Some dragons rejoice while others grieve, as the size of the territories they acquire varies greatly.

If you're not satisfied, you can only work harder to have more dragonborn, shed more blood and convert more familiars, and then painstakingly cultivate them to Sequence 4. This is very difficult even for pure-blooded dragons; you can't even dream of it without hundreds of years of accumulation.

After bidding farewell to the numerous pure-blooded dragons, Rosen activated the Lord's Ring to teleport away.

The teleportation is complete; we have arrived in his territory.

Through the territorial control ring, he could intuitively sense the size of his territory.

It covers an area of ​​a million li and has all kinds of terrain and landforms.

If you are not satisfied, you can also reshape the terrain and landform of your territory through the territorial sovereignty ring.

Of course, doing this is very costly, many times more so than the cost of the divine realm.

Therefore, Rosen did not intend to make large-scale modifications. He only modified the terrain in the central area of ​​the territory, reversed gravity, and created floating islands with a radius of hundreds of miles that rose into the sky. As for the area directly below, a new lake was created.

All the floating islands are arranged in a pyramid-like, layered pattern.

The highest floating island is a lake surrounded by cliffs that are hundreds of miles high. A dragon crystal of a Sequence 2 water dragon is placed at the bottom of the lake to create a magic circle that absorbs water vapor from within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

When the lake is full, the water will flow down the cliff to form a sloping waterfall that cascades down to the floating island below.

Finally, the waterfall cascades down in layers, like a silver river falling into the lake directly below.

As the moisture mingled, rainbows quickly rose around the floating islands.

Rosen solidified the portals on all the floating islands before returning to the center of the lake on the highest floating island. There, he built a floating island with a radius of ten miles and finally erected a dragon castle on it.

In a vast territory spanning a million square miles, the dragon race raises thousands of other races.

These alien races will soon become his followers.

Rosen transformed into a bronze dragon and began to patrol his territory, surrounded by a miraculous cloud with a radius of 7800 meters.

Wherever it passed, auspicious clouds would occasionally shower down golden rain of light.

The essence of this rain of light is the blood of the ancient gods disguised as the bronze dragon blood of Faerûn. All the alien races covered by the blood rain will gradually be transformed into their followers. Once all the hundreds of billions of alien races within a million miles have been transformed into their followers, the development of the territory can get on the right track.

It took Rosen several years to convert all the alien races in his territory into his own.

Under the command of the Dragonblood Naga, all the followers began to build cities, plant extraordinary plants, and raise extraordinary creatures, maximizing the value of the territory and turning the territory from loss to profit in less than ten years.

The territory is on track, and we can start earning a steady stream of wealth.

Moreover, the number of alien believers will multiply several times in the next hundred years. Among them, the high-quality people will stay to develop their territories, while the aliens with poor qualities will all be sold as slaves.

As the population of a territory increases and its aptitude improves, it naturally generates more wealth for the lord.

As the number of exceptionally talented followers increases, the amount of faith they provide to the dragon lord naturally rises as well.

Rosen only came to the Dragon Realm. If he were in the human world where there are more wolves than meat, where would he find an unclaimed territory within a million miles?

Rosen sat on the tower of the Dragon Castle, leisurely sipping red tea and basking in the sun.

Now that we've finally settled in, it's time to get down to business.

Besides controlling the territory, the Lord's Ring also allows communication and trade with other dragon lords. As long as he doesn't leave the Dragon Realm, the Lord's Ring is far more useful than the Temple of the Gods. Soon, he had contacted all the pure-blooded dragons he had met at Dragon God Mountain.

Rosen was eager to befriend him, and so were the other pureblood dragons.

To put it simply, Longlong has taken a liking to his metal slime.

The defense of Sequence 4 Metal Slimes is truly formidable. Obtaining tens of thousands is obviously too extravagant, but acquiring a few dozen to protect the core Dragonborn and their familiars is definitely worthwhile. In just half a month, Rosen has already sold quite a few Metal Slimes.

There are buyers and sellers, and his metal slime isn't something you can just buy casually.

Through personal connections, Rosen successfully made contact with the Fire Dragon Clan.

Despite being a mid-tier dragon race with relatively weak natural talents, the Fire Dragon race is directly protected by the Sun Dragon God.

The true form of the Sun Dragon God is a stellar dragon, and there is only one stellar dragon in the entire dragon realm.

Because this was not a normal dragon to begin with, but a mutated elemental dragon that was born from the Fire Dragon King who devoured a true god-level sun god core, resulting in his body being burned to ashes and his dragon soul fusing with the sun god core.

Naturally, the fire dragon race also saw its status as an appendage of the stellar dragons skyrocket.

Even things that many high-ranking dragons cannot access, the fire dragon clan can.

Rosen paid with a Sequence 2 auspicious cloud to buy a World Stone from the only son of the current Fire Dragon King.

After obtaining the World Stone, Rosen couldn't wait to go to the World Tree.

Worldstones are special treasures that can only be born in independent worlds. The standard for an independent world is that the entire world does not draw energy from the main world, but from the unknown void outside the main world.

Even the true God cannot do this, and perhaps even the great true God cannot do much more.

Because there are only a handful of independent worlds like the Dragon Realm and the Abyss World in the entire main world.

World Origin Stones naturally contain the authority of the world, but the strength of this authority varies. World Origin Stones from the Abyss World contain significantly more world authority than those from the Dragon Realm. In addition to the three major authorities of time, space, and elements, different World Origin Stones contain varying amounts of other authorities.

Rosen buried the World Stone in the heart of the World Tree, using the World Tree to erase the traces of the Dragon Realm within the World Stone.

Once the erasure is complete, he can use this to perfectly enhance his trap skills.

Rosen stayed at the World Tree for five years, constantly using his authority over the world to refine the World Stone, making the traces of the Dragon Realm within the World Stone disappear while completely transforming it into his own shape.

On this day, the World Stone was finally successfully refined, and Rosen couldn't wait to integrate it into the innate skill Trap Space of the extraordinary source material.

Then, all three trap-making techniques were integrated into the trap space.

It took Rosen two whole years to finally fuse the four skills into one using World Stones.

[Trap World: Gain access to a trap world that contains trap authority]

[Divine Authority Trait: Runestone - Can naturally generate runestones sealed with different skill runes]

[Divine Authority Trait: Rune Traps - Runestones can be directly converted into rune traps]

[Divine Authority Trait: Rune Fusion - Different rune stones can be stacked and synthesized]

Originally a bottom-tier trap skill, it has been perfectly enhanced and risen to the top ranks.

Because of the special innate skill of Trap World, it has both authority and the ability to extend authority.

There are two forms of divine authority. The first is to directly grasp divine authority, but how to exert the power of divine authority is up to oneself. The second is to contain at least some of the characteristics of Sequence 3 rule divine authority, which is equivalent to the expansion of the power of divine authority.

Many skills have only one form of expression, and it is extremely rare to have two forms at the same time.

Rosen entered the trap world in the blink of an eye; it was a special world born from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The space is not large, with a diameter of only 78 meters.

The space was filled with the authority of the world and spiritual power. As a large number of spiritual crystals were transferred to the trap world, rune stones were immediately born out of thin air. Each rune stone was the size of a thumb and looked like a cut diamond.

Each runestone contains trap runes naturally formed from trap authority.

Rosen picked up a runestone, and all the skills he possessed could be integrated into the runestone in his hand to form a rune trap.

He wanted to see the limits of runestones, so he started with a high-difficulty level.

Rosen took seven runestones in succession and then infused them with seven different skills.

First, there was the special domain skill, World Domain; then, Little Dragon Girl's Forbidden Magic Orb, Dimensional Art, Five-Dimensional Painting, and Blood Seal of Glory; finally, he added Void Shadow Realm and Mind Control. Once the seven skills were integrated into the runestone, he began to combine the seven runestones into one.

It must be said that the success rate of the synthesis is extremely low.

Despite using miracle synthesis, Rosen still couldn't achieve a 100% success rate, failing many times before succeeding once.

However, Rosen was somewhat shocked when he saw the final product and the rune stone was activated to generate a rune trap.

The art of dimensions can perfectly combine different spiritual paintings.

Rosen stepped into the range of the rune trap and began painting directly using five-dimensional drawing. He was drawing the Gluttonous Stomach, directly drawing the stomach wall of the Gluttonous Stomach in three dimensions on the trap space formed by the rune trap. It took him several years to draw a total of 87 paintings of the Gluttonous Stomach.

Then, through the art of dimensions, all these gluttonous stomachs are transformed into points and lines.

Then these points and lines are reassembled into a gluttonous stomach, using the art of dimensions to merge 87 five-dimensional paintings into one picture.

This is not the end. Dimensional art can turn spiritual paintings into secondary paintings of dots and lines, but five-dimensional paintings can construct nine layers of space. So he spent several decades creating a total of 87 five-dimensional paintings with nine layers of superimposed stomachs of gluttony.

Each painting is a spiritual work of Sequence 3, and the 87 paintings stacked together form a nine-layered world within the painting.

After completing this step, Rosen further enhanced the all-around power of Gluttony's Stomach by incorporating the authority of sealing, protection, and glory into all of Gluttony's spiritual paintings through the Blood Seal of Glory.

Finally, when combined with the Anti-Magic Sphere, Void Realm, Mind Control, and World Domain, the terrifying nature of the entire trap becomes immeasurable.

In the Ancient God Realm, Rosen temporarily transferred control of the Sequence 1 Dragon Puppet to Daisy.

He can't control the dragon golem well now, but Daisy, who is already Sequence 3, can easily control it. This is because one of the psychologists' specialties is manipulating puppets, so Daisy can at least unleash 80% of the dragon golem's combat power.

Are you sure you want to play this way?

Daisy couldn't help but ask.

"I haven't wasted these decades of my life."

Rosen nodded seriously.

Without further hesitation, Daisy manipulated the dragon puppet to take to the air and unleash the Time Domain.

Faced with the swooping dragon golem, Rosen used the rune stone he was holding to create a void flash and intercept the dragon golem in front of it.

The moment the runestone transformed into a rune trap, it vanished due to the effect of the Void Shadow Realm.

The size of the rune trap depends on Rosen's spiritual strength.

The rune trap, which had expanded to a radius of 8700 meters, collided with the dragon golem's time domain the moment the dragon golem entered its range. Surprisingly, the time domain of Sequence 1 failed to crush the rune trap's expanded world domain.

However, being a Sequence 1 domain skill, the world domain quickly collapsed.

However, before the collapse, the World Realm also tore a rift in the Time Realm.

Seizing the opportunity, as the rune trap dissipated, the Void Shadow Realm, carrying the rune stone, vanished into the shadow of the dragon golem.

At this moment, the rune trap was deployed again, this time as a superposition of the world domain and the void shadow realm. It directly crossed the outer time domain along the shadow and pulled the inner dragon puppet into the trap, causing the dragon puppet to fall into the gluttonous stomach formed by the spiritual painting.

The combined power of the 87 Sequence 3 spiritual paintings of Gluttony's Stomach is terrifying.

However, it still couldn't trap the Sequence 1 dragon golem. The dragon golem had already destroyed the Gluttonous Stomach with just a time decomposition. However, even if one was destroyed, there were still eight more. Each Gluttonous Stomach was composed of 87 Sequence 3 stacks.

Unless the Ninefold Gluttony's Stomach is destroyed simultaneously, the dragon golem has no chance of escaping the rune trap.

Although the rune traps cannot harm the dragon golem, the dragon golem cannot break through the rune traps either. The most it can do at full power is to tear open six layers of the Gluttony Stomach, and then the five-dimensional painting goes through nine layers in an infinite loop, repairing as much as it destroys.

This is Sequence 1. If it were Sequence 2, very few could survive inside the rune trap.

What appears to be a rune trap is actually a combination of Hunter and Painter sequence skills.

"From now on, let's call this rune trap the Gluttony Runestone and the Gluttony Trap."

Rosen was too lazy to come up with a name, so he simply named it after his core gluttonous stomach.

Daisy tried everything but couldn't save the dragon puppet, so Rosen released it from the Gluttony Trap.

It is said that good things come in pairs. It took Rosen decades to successfully create a rune trap that could trap Sequence 1. Over the years, he has also digested the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit he ate at Dragon God Mountain. Now it remains to be seen how much benefit the transformation back into the Ancient God Body can bring.

Rosen directly undid the bronze dragon transformation that had lasted for decades, and restored his true form.

The original 59% awakening level of the ancient god bloodline has been directly increased to 65% this time under the enhancement of the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit.

Having crossed the 60% threshold, he is now able to master another additional skill from the Ancient God sequence.

Since this skill only relies on the body of an ancient god, it does not need to occupy a skill slot of extraordinary source matter.

The skill he is preparing to master this time is the Flesh and Blood Clone, an extension and accessory skill of the Ancient God's Divine Body.

It's not difficult to master at all, because it's a natural process after bloodline awakening.

Rosen released a ball of ancient god blood from the heart of the ancient god. This ancient god blood immediately formed flesh and blood, quickly creating a living figure standing in front of him. Except for the lack of soul and spirituality, the flesh and blood clone even replicated his sea of ​​consciousness.

When Rosen first received the inheritance, he did not understand the value of the flesh and blood clone.

Since it is just a clone made of flesh and blood, without spirituality, isn't it just an empty shell?

However, it was only after Feren advanced to Sequence 3 that he truly realized the terrifying value of the flesh and blood clone.

Rosen activated the Hunter's Eye, and more than twenty bronze dragons of sequence 6 to sequence 4 appeared in his vision.

The smallest of these bronze dragons was only a few years old, while the largest had lived for hundreds of years.

Through data transmission, Rosen used the arcane network covering part of the dragon realm to teleport directly into the lair of a newly born, currently fast asleep, Sequence 6 bronze dragon hatchling. He then used a Curtain of Ash and Mind Control to take control of the hatchling's spiritual essence.

Rosen released the flesh and blood clone he had just created, which quickly transformed into a young dragon by collecting a drop of the young dragon's primordial bloodline.

Then, the flesh and blood clone devoured the young dragon's body with its gluttonous stomach, and finally integrated the dragon soul, dragon crystal and spiritual essence that the young dragon had been separated from into the body of the young dragon transformed by the flesh and blood clone. The whole process was a seamless substitution.

It's likely that even until its death, this young dragon won't realize that the dragon body it has used for so many years doesn't belong to it.

Rosen spent three days replacing all the bronze dragons below Sequence 3 with their own.

In the future, with a single thought, he could take control of the bodies of these bronze dragons. All the growth these bronze dragons painstakingly achieved in improving their strength and enhancing their extraordinary bloodlines to advance their ranks would be stolen by him.

If he were to replace all the new generation of dragons, he might be able to indirectly control the entire dragon race in the future.

However, on the other hand, since all the dragons' bodies were replaced by flesh and blood clones, who would own the dragon eggs laid by the two dragons? Thinking of this, he decided to spare the mother dragon and reverse time to return the original bodies of the several bronze dragon mothers.

Rosen did not continue the substitution, because creating clones consumed the power of the ancient god's body.

If it weren't for his possession of the Ancient God's Mind, each flesh and blood clone he created would have weakened the Ancient God's divine body.

Now, the blood of the ancient god in the heart of the ancient god is running low. With a command, all the servants in the territory began to move. Some were responsible for forming teams to hunt dragon beasts, while others were responsible for going to the territories of other dragon lords to buy dragon beasts.

All dragons are extraordinary beings; although few possess intelligence, they are all highly intelligent and physically strong.

Therefore, it is definitely the best ingredient to replenish the blood of the ancient gods. All the gourmet hunters, led by Li Shiqing, worked day and night to cook all the dragon beasts sent to the dragon castle into spiritual delicacies to feed the gluttonous beasts.

Rosen continued his underhanded tactics, aiming to replace 60% of the male pureblood dragons below Sequence 3 in the Dragon Realm.

The remaining 40% were spared because some dragons were not flesh and blood.

For example, elemental dragons, crystal dragons, and mountain dragons are special dragon races that have no flesh and blood in their bodies, so they have no chance to switch bodies. However, even so, Rosen still managed to create several thousand flesh and blood clones.

Once these pure-blooded dragons have grown up, Rosen's ancient god body will have gained several thousand additional accessories.

More than 90% of them could easily become demigods. When their flesh and blood clones were recovered, they would bring unimaginable changes to the ancient god's body. However, they absolutely could not be recovered in large quantities, otherwise, if the dragons found out, they would be relentlessly pursued by two true gods.
