Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 263 The Cross of Death and the Necromancer Queen
Chapter 262

Rosen walked in the shadows of everything, quietly approaching the teleportation vortex that led to and from the Zerg Spirit Realm.

The moment he came into contact with the teleportation vortex and was transported to the Spirit Realm, the undead demigod guarding the vortex had already noticed.

Because the teleportation vortex creates spatial ripples during teleportation, the guardian immediately realized that a mysterious person skilled in stealth had entered.

In a short while, all seven Sequence 2s inside the fortress arrived.

Who could have gone in?

"If it's a Sequence 2 undead, there's no need for them to sneak in. It's probably a Sequence 3 undead demigod with terrifying stealth abilities or treasures, or it could be an alien race. They can't enter the Spirit Realm normally, so they choose to sneak in..."

"It's fine if it's one of our own making a fool of themselves, but if it's a different race..."

"Whatever it is, we can only wait at this stage."

All the Sequence 2 necromancers fell silent upon hearing this.

The gods, skilled in prophecy, have determined that the current Zerg Nexus poses a deadly threat to Sequence 2.

According to the prophecy, even a full complement of twenty people would not be enough to completely resolve the current state of the Zerg Spirit Realm.

Their mission was simply to bring back one thing, after which the gods would ask the true god to destroy the Zerg's spiritual realm from the outside.

……

After passing through the teleportation vortex, Rosen immediately witnessed a terrifying scene.

The entire Spirit Realm was completely covered by insectoid fungal carpet, on which countless insectoid larvae's eggs were scattered. All the insectoid larvae that hatched from their eggs would wither away instantly, leaving only their souls to slowly rise into the air.

The sky above the Spirit Realm was filled with endless black clouds, where the souls of countless Zerg larvae fought each other.

The victor devoured the loser's head, and the loser's body dissolved into part of the black cloud.

The creep provides nutrients to the insect eggs, which hatch into Zerg larvae. The larvae are then drained of their life force by the power of the necromantic forces, and finally their souls ascend to heaven to kill and devour each other. The whole process is like raising a venomous insect.

Rosen painted a picture of time prophecy, in which the figure of the Queen Mother of the Mind is faintly visible in a corner of the dark clouds.

As expected, the Mind Queen is hiding in that area.

Rosen couldn't find the exact location of the Mind Queen hidden in that dark cloud, so he decided to take a direct, forceful approach.

The Gluttony Runestone appeared, then was transformed into a thumb-sized aura by the Miracle Aura.

A materialized spirit bullet condensed within the barrel of Dragon God's Wrath. At the same time, the power of the innate skill God Hunter Burning Divinity was also integrated into the spirit bullet, giving it the characteristic of burning the divine origin. Finally, the Ash Mark was also integrated into the spirit bullet.

Rosen instantly raised his gun and fired at the dark clouds in the sky. The ash-marked truth ensured that the psychic bullet would never miss.

The telekinetic bullet disappeared through the futuristic silencer, then reappeared out of thin air a second later, piercing through the black clouds. The telekinetic bullet then entered a time freeze, ready to be unleashed.

At the same time, the Gluttony Trap, which had transformed into a halo and psychic projectiles, was activated inside the dark cloud.

A gluttonous trap with a radius of 9100 meters appeared out of nowhere in the dark cloud, tearing apart the dark cloud and the souls of the insectoids in the cloud like a black hole, and then swallowing them into the gluttonous trap and disappearing.

As more and more dark clouds were devoured by the Gluttony Trap, the Mind Queen, who was hiding in this area of ​​dark clouds, finally reacted.

Without any intention of hiding, it appeared directly outside the gluttony trap.

The Mind Queen, who originally looked like a fat worm, now appeared to be seven-tenths humanoid, with scarlet blade arms like a mantis. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared, circled the Gluttony Trap, and returned to her original position.

Blood-red flames instantly surrounded the Gluttony Trap, tearing apart the space above and below the flames.

The outermost layer of the gluttony trap was directly cleaved in two by the Mind Queen's twin blades.

However, the remaining eight gluttony traps immediately replaced the destroyed layer.

On the surface, the gluttony trap appears to have returned to its original state, unharmed, and continues to devour the dark cloud.

Normally, the damaged layer of the Gluttony Trap space should have already repaired itself through spatial circulation.

However, the remaining flames from the Mind Queen's blade continued to burn the space, preventing the trap space from repairing.

Seeing that the Mind Queen was about to continue destroying the Gluttony Trap, the psychic bullet, which was in a state of time stop after piercing the black cloud, instantly broke the time stop and, relying on the sure-hit lock, struck the Mind Queen's forehead at a speed that even she could not react to, while time was accelerated.

Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary projectile; its base damage is increased by 2540%.

In addition to the terrifying spiritual energy compressed into the psychic bullet, and the ignoring defense of the Ash Brand's true damage, the psychic bullet's terrifying damage pierced through the Mind Queen's head, while the power of the Hunter God simultaneously pierced through the Mind Queen's divine essence.

However, the Mind Queen was unharmed; instead, she transferred all the damage to the Zerg within the Mind Network.

Rosen did attempt to infiltrate the Mind Network; he secretly used the Main God Computer to hack into the Mind Network in an attempt to find the Mind Queen.

But that won't work, because the entire dark cloud is a huge, materialized mental network.

A healthy spiritual network relies on spiritual authority and spiritual anchoring.

Almost all networks are tangible but lack substance, with their only substance being a web-like structure.

However, the mental network that had turned into a black cloud had actually taken on a physical form. Strictly speaking, it was no longer a network, as the entire black cloud had become like a server. Under these circumstances, it would be difficult for the main god computer to find the hidden mental queen.

Therefore, the only option is to lure out the Mind Queen and then kill her head-on.

The Dragon God's Wrath, shaped like a flintlock pistol in Rosen's hand, instantly transformed into a rotary machine gun and began firing a barrage of psychic bullets. With the acceleration of time, the bullets' speed was so fast that there was no distance within tens of thousands of miles. The Mind Queen had no way to dodge and was directly enveloped by the storm of psychic bullets.

At first, it was just chanting, but gradually, halos appeared around the chanting.

This transforms Dragon Language magic into a Miracle Aura. Each spell projectile wrapped around an aura is an instant Dragon Language spell. All Dragon Language spells are Sequence 3 Time Stop and Time Fracture, which freezes the Mind Queen within the black clouds, making her a sitting duck.

The Mind Queen was still unharmed, but the dark clouds that shrouded the entire Spirit Realm were getting smaller and smaller.

However, Rosen did not believe that the Mind Queen was so easy to deal with.

Otherwise, those Sequence 2 undead demigods outside wouldn't be so cautious.

Rosen quickly discovered that although the black cloud was gradually shrinking, those that were harmed by the Mind Queen were the weaker Zerg larvae within it, while the truly powerful Zerg souls were growing faster in the process.

Although he caused great damage to the Black Cloud, the Mind Queen also used him to remove the impurities from the Black Cloud, leaving only its essence.

Rosen's seventh sense had already detected that the Mind Queen's counterattack was imminent.

As expected, the moment the dark cloud shrank to a radius of ten miles, the Mind Queen unleashed her Mind Domain. Before any of the mental projectiles could even get close, they were already imprisoned by the terrifying mental power. Then, the mental storm that shook the void compressed into a spike that locked onto Rosen.

Rosen flickered in the void for a moment, and as the teleportation ended, he vanished into the Void Realm.

He has a wolf totem, so he doesn't confront the Queen Mother of the Soul head-on.

However, the Mind Spike actually broke through the Wolf Totem's concealment and tracked it relentlessly. It crashed into the instantaneous time barrier and stopped in mid-air. But the next instant, the Mind Spike unleashed a terrifying spiritual impact, piercing through the time barrier and almost shattering Rosen's sea of ​​consciousness.

Rosen resisted the urge to fire a Dragon God's Roar bullet, fearing he might shatter the entire Spirit Realm with a single shot.

He wanted to capture them alive and move the Spirit Realm back to the Divine Realm intact.

The reason why the World Domain and the Divine Territory have not yet been expanded is that the World Domain has already quietly covered the entire Spirit Realm and then permeated the world barrier of the Spirit Realm from the inside out. The Divine Territory is ready to accommodate the Spirit Realm at any time.

Rosen suddenly leaped into the air and soared into the sky, transforming into Yinglong the instant he ascended.

The Mind Queen also swooped down, ready to tear Rosen apart with the blades of her arms.

Great sound!

The silent dragon's roar resounded throughout the entire spiritual realm in that instant. It seemed calm and peaceful, but in reality, all life within the spiritual realm was instantly stunned by the terrifying dragon's roar, which was so powerful that its spiritual consciousness was thrown into a state of disorientation.

Then Rosen's dragon head suddenly swelled up, unleashing an enhanced version of the Dragon's Nine Sons Gluttony, Dragon Devouring Heaven.

The void surrounding the black cloud, spanning dozens of miles, was devoured by Rosen in one bite.

"Is the Mind Queen a little weak, or am I too strong...?"

Rosen transformed back into human form and rubbed his stomach.

Feeling a bit unwell, the Mind Queen was currently struggling frantically in her stomach.

However, he can still tolerate it; he himself has no idea exactly how strong he is now.

However, Rosen was not arrogant, because he knew that this was partly due to his restraint of the Mind Queen.

The most terrifying aspect of the Mind Queen lies in her parasitism, speed, and mind control, all of which have little effect on him. Just as the Mind Queen restrains the Necromancer Demigod, the Mind Queen is also completely restrained by him.

The higher the level of the extraordinary sequence, the smaller the difference in talent and strength between them. Two true gods must both have top-tier talent and countless rich combat experiences.

Therefore, it is usually difficult for true gods to distinguish between life and death, unless one true god restrains another.

However, this does not mean that there is no difference between true gods. The longer a true god lives, the deeper his foundation, the more ways he can protect himself, and the more laws he has mastered. His survival ability and fault tolerance will definitely be higher. He is not easy to be restrained by others, and at the same time, he is easier to restrain others.

However, it's easier said than done; very few true gods can achieve this level of attainment.

Without the interference of the Mind Queen, Rosen's world domain quickly gained control of the entire Spirit Realm, and then gradually pulled the entire Spirit Realm into the God Realm's territory. As the Zerg Spirit Realm gradually disappeared, the undead demigods waiting outside also sensed that something was wrong.

However, before they could react, the spatial vortex for entering and exiting the Zerg Spirit Realm opened out of thin air.

Then, a cannon barrel more than ten meters thick began firing the instant it emerged from the spatial vortex. This was the Time-Space Destruction Cannon, the main cannon of the Dragon God's Wrath, which had transformed into a mechanical biological warship. Its core was Yinglong's Void Creation and the Ancient God's Ten Directions Annihilation.

The endless spacetime spirituality fired its main cannon, striking seven undead demigods and forming a small world that enveloped them.

In the next instant, the improved Ten Directions Annihilation destroyed the small world, and the world dimension collapsed into a zero-dimensional point.

Before the seven demigods could react, they were instantly killed by the main cannon of the Sequence 1 mechanical biological warship.

Apart from one lich who has a phylactery containing divine essence that can be resurrected, the remaining six Sequence 2 undead demigods have no chance of survival.

Rosen withdrew the Dragon God's Wrath and quietly left using data transmission.

By the time the gods of the undead race rushed to the scene, the murderer had already vanished.

After returning to the Divine Weapon Sky City, Rosen immediately began studying spirituality and the Mind Queen.

After exhausting all means, they finally managed to weaken the Mind Queen.

The Mind Canvas, combining mind control and mind reading, constantly challenges the divine consciousness of the Mind Queen.

At first, he struggled to hold on, but when he couldn't hold on any longer, he committed suicide without hesitation.

However, if time could be reversed, even dying wouldn't be an easy thing.

Within the Time Cage, Rosen tormented the Mind Queen for over half a year before finally breaking through her divine consciousness defenses and successfully uncovering the secrets hidden deep within her memories.

The appearance of the Mind Queen on the Death Continent was indeed significant, as she had received a secret order from the Zerg Overlord.

The Zerg Overmind had already realized that the core of the Zerg race—bloodline genes—was a flawed approach.

Although the Zerg possess a psychic network and seem to have no weaknesses in terms of spirituality, it's important to understand that the power of the psychic network lies in the superposition of the spiritual consciousness of countless Zerg. For a typical Zerg Queen, her spiritual strength is actually relatively weak compared to others in the same rank.

Because we are not strong enough, we need to accumulate small efforts to build a great structure.

However, it was too late by then; the seventh catastrophe of the Zerg civilization was on the verge of failure.

The Zerg Overmind realized that if they failed, the entire Zerg race could be completely wiped out.

Therefore, the Zerg Overmind began to prepare an escape route for the Zerg, sending the Sequence 0 Mind Queen to the Death Continent.

The Continent of Death is no ordinary place; all those who die here become undead.

The Zerg Overlord hoped that the Mind Queen would lead a Queen Egg to the Dead Continent to transform themselves and the Queen Egg into undead life forms, thus escaping the fate of perishing along with the Zerg civilization. However, some unexpected events occurred after the Mind Queen arrived on the Dead Continent.

The Mind Queen obtained a miraculous treasure, the Sequence 0 Resurrection Cross.

This miraculous artifact's unique miracle sequence allows life to be reincarnated, transcending races to live a second life.

The Mind Queen's first thought was to be reborn as an undead being.

However, the Mind Queen did not expect that the Queen Egg she carried with her contained the true god's will of the Zerg Overlord.

From beginning to end, this was actually the Zerg Overmind's way out, and the Mind Queen was merely a sacrifice.

Now that they have obtained the complete Resurrection Cross, the Zerg Overmind also wants to use it to reincarnate and be reborn.

Ultimately, the Mind Queen and the true god's will of the Zerg Overlord perished together. The Mind Queen's final reincarnation also failed, and the Resurrection Cross was eventually split into ten. Except for the most core one, the rest disappeared without a trace.

"Are there ten Resurrection Crosses?"

Rosen unexpectedly extracted a resurrection cross from the divine essence of the Mind Queen.

This one is very special compared to the two he already has.

The difference between the two is like the difference between body and soul.

This resurrection cross, which resembles a soul, contains an inexhaustible supply of mysterious death power. Because of this power, the Mind Queen was drained of her life force before her death, becoming so weak that she was no longer even a demigod. That is why the spiritual realm she formed was only at Sequence 4.

Later, he helped the Mind Queen return to Sequence 3, and the Mind Queen regained more memories and regained control of the Resurrection Cross of the Soul Body.

Then, relying on the mysterious death power within, which restrains the life of the undead, they continuously hunt down undead demigods who enter the spirit realm.

Of course, those undead demigods alone are not enough to advance the Spirit Realm from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2.

The key lies in the mysterious power of death that continuously flows from inside the Resurrection Cross.

Rosen realized that the Resurrection Cross in his hand was not simple, so he immediately took it to the mysterious study to examine it through the computer of the Supreme God.

With the help of the main computer, the unexpected result was quickly identified.

This is not the Resurrection Cross, but the Death Cross of the True God sequence. The nine entities of the Resurrection Cross should be the seal of the Death Cross. Because the seal was destroyed, the Death Cross was able to escape.

However, not all miracle treasures have positive attributes; some miracle treasures naturally contain negative attributes.

The Death Cross, naturally capable of controlling and wielding death, is the nemesis of all undead life.

However, this thing's powerful negative attributes can turn the holder of the Death Cross into a puppet. The current Mind Queen is actually a puppet of the Death Cross, and even the God Computer can only barely seal the Death Cross now.

In fact, if he didn't possess an immortal will and the divinity of an ancient god, or if the ancient god's sacrificial artifacts weren't able to protect his spiritual consciousness...

He was probably already affected by the cross of death when he came into contact with it.

Rosen sealed the Death Cross with lingering fear; he wouldn't be able to use it without obtaining nine Resurrection Crosses.

If you use it to scam people, you might be able to scam them every time.

Rosen was somewhat disappointed and immediately entered the Zerg Spirit Realm to kill the Mind Queen.

No Queen's egg dropped, so it seems the first drop might really be the only one.

Although he obtained the Cross of Death, his main purpose was to modify the Queen's Egg.

Just as Rosen was trying to come up with another solution, the computer that sealed the Death Cross provided a solution.

The Death Cross is indeed dangerous, but the death power generated by the Death Cross, after being transformed by the God's computer, is absolutely a great tonic for the undead race. He can use this death power to transform the Queen's Egg into the Undead Queen.

With the help of the main god computer, the modification of the Queen's egg went very smoothly.

Rosen also incorporated the extraordinary essence that the Mind Queen had dropped this time into the Queen's egg as nourishment for incubation.

Only when the Queen Mother's egg was about to hatch was it bound with divine refinement and the extraordinary source essence of the noble sequence.

A few days later, the Queen's egg hatched into a special undead Queen.

Necromancer Queen: The Mother of Special Units

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Attribute: The Necromancer Queen can produce Soul Insect Eggs, and the life forms that parasitize these Soul Insect Eggs will hatch into Necromancer insects.]

[Skills: Mind Network, Parasite, Assimilation, Death Will, Death Harvest, Necromancer Resurrection...]

Rosen looked at the Necromancer Queen, who was only the size of his palm. Overall, she was a healthy humanoid life form with tanned skin, except that her arms were in the form of mantis blades, just like the Mind Queen. When she didn't open her mouth, she was a little beauty, but when she opened her mouth, there was a retractable injection mouthpiece.

"Don't open your mouth in my sight again."

Rosen gave the first order.

The Necromancer Queen nodded aggrievedly, then retracted her constantly expanding and contracting mouthparts and closed her mouth.

However, after Rosen brought the Necromancer Queen to the Void Prison and then turned to leave, the Necromancer Queen immediately came to the top of each prisoner's head, drooling, and then injected soul worm eggs into their sea of ​​consciousness through her mouthparts.
