Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 270 Sequence 2: The Beast King and the Mystery of the Sea God

Chapter 269

"It's coming..."

Through the torrential rain and lightning, Rosen saw thunderclouds gradually gathering in the sky towards Thunder Harbor.

This is how storm thunderbirds drive thunderclouds to converge and compress, thereby creating an environment suitable for storm thunderbirds to lay their eggs.

Although they are also Storm Thunderbirds, the Storm Thunderbirds here are much stronger than those in the Thunder Empire's natural rainforest.

The majority are sequence 4, and there is even a significant proportion of sequence 3.

Storm Canyon is indeed a uniquely advantageous environment for Storm Thunderbirds to survive.

If it weren't for the Storm Thunderbirds' bloodline limit, they wouldn't be limited to living only in the outer areas of Storm Canyon.

The thunderclouds were driven away and compressed in less than half a day, and the rainwater had turned into liquid thunder plasma.

At this moment, the demigods who had been hiding suddenly appeared one by one.

A Sequence 3 Storm Thunderbird descended from the sky. The demigods approached the Storm Thunderbird and each offered a large amount of extraordinary resources that would greatly benefit the growth of the Storm Thunderbird's chicks. After the Storm Thunderbird put away the resources, it gave each of the demigods a different number of feathers.

This scene surprised not only Rosen, but also two other demigods who were also visiting for the first time.

So, the real reason for hunting Storm Thunderbirds was actually to buy them with extraordinary resources.

Rosen quickly realized that this must be a compromise reached between the two sides after repeated struggles.

Outsiders come to Thunder Harbor specifically to target the Storm Thunderbirds.

No matter how the Storm Thunderbirds resist, their eggs will be taken away and a large number of Storm Thunderbirds will be killed or wounded.

The foreign demigods will definitely suffer reduced gains due to the Storm Thunderbirds' fierce resistance.

Later, it was likely a powerful member of the Storm Thunderbirds who reached a compromise with the foreign demigod.

You can take the bird eggs, but you'll have to exchange them for extraordinary resources.

This reduced the casualties among the Storm Thunderbirds. With the availability of extraordinary resources, the remaining chicks were able to grow better. Although the eggs taken away by the alien demigods lost their freedom, on the bright side, it was equivalent to them spreading their branches and leaves in the outside world.

Although the foreign demigods paid a price, they gained more bird eggs and were no longer in danger.

This is a win-win compromise after the struggle, and only the foreign demigods who come to Thunder Harbor a second time will know this secret.

However, Rosen didn't want to do it a second time; he planned to catch enough this time.

The storm thunderbirds, overwhelming the sky, began to descend in flocks into Thunder Harbor to lay their eggs.

At that moment, Rosen, using the power of the ancient god's body, transformed into the Heavenly Punishment Dragon and soared into the sky from the bottom of Thunder Harbor.

Great sound!

The silent dragon roar originating from Yinglong was so powerful that the Storm Thunderbird lost consciousness and fell from the sky.

All the Storm Thunderbirds that fell landed within the Beast King's Domain that Rosen had created.

The divine authority of the Beast King allows him to forcibly tame extraordinary beings whose divine power is lower than his own.

Then, all of these Storm Thunderbirds, which were instantly tamed, were sealed away by time-stopping and sent to the historical dragon's nest.

The Beastmaster Domain can tame Sequence 4 Thunderbirds, but it is very difficult to tame Sequence 3 Thunderbirds. Moreover, due to the limitations of his divine power, Rosen can only tame about eighty at a time, and the taming process consumes a lot of his divine power.

However, by using the power of time stored in the Time Godhood, Rosen can reverse time and restore his divinity to its peak state.

This allowed him to continuously tame Sequence 4 Storm Thunderbirds. For those Sequence 3 Storm Thunderbirds that he couldn't tame and managed to escape, the Nightmare Shackles, inlaid with Dragon Binding Ropes and Time Towers, would be activated, transforming into nooses around the birds' necks to remove their resistance.

In less than a minute, Rosen had captured over a thousand Storm Thunderbirds.

These were all female birds that had laid eggs, and their capture directly angered the male birds that were driving away the thunderclouds.

Countless bolts of lightning locked onto Rosen and descended from the sky, frightening the other demigods of Thunder Harbor into not daring to approach.

However, all the lightning bolts that struck Rosen were like mud sinking into the sea, causing no harm whatsoever.

Yinglong possesses the divine power to control thunder and rain, but this power is subordinate to the divine power of creation and is encompassed within it. While it doesn't grant immunity to all lightning damage, the remaining damage poses no threat to the ancient god's body or Yinglong's indestructible body.

The Storm Thunderbirds realized this and instead of continuing their attack, they split up to the left and right.

From the depths of the thunderclouds, a storm thunderbird appeared, blotting out the sky.

This Storm Thunderbird showed almost no signs of flesh and blood life. Its wings were made entirely of liquid lightning, and more than 50% of its body was energy. Only a few parts, such as its head and heart, retained flesh and blood.

"A Sequence 2 Beast King has actually been born..."

Rosen's pupils contracted slightly.

There can be significant differences between different Beastmasters.

The sea dragon king he initially hunted was just an ordinary lone beast king. Although it could forcibly command extraordinary life forms, the extraordinary life forms it summoned could not actually provide much help to the beast king. At best, they could only be used as cannon fodder.

However, there is another type of beast king, which is the beast king born from a vast number of its own kind.

This kind of beast king is like a lord, able to enhance himself with the power of all the storm thunderbirds under his command. This kind of beast king has even surpassed the titled demigods of the same level and can be compared with the forbidden sequence that breaks the boundary of the same level.

A bolt of lightning, so blue it was almost black, descended from the sky, locking onto the target at near-light speed, making it impossible to dodge.

Rosen's wings, which blocked the lightning, were covered in feathers, and half of his right wing was charred. The lightning strike was too fast. Even with the help of time acceleration and the Holy Grail Knight's special sequence skill for protection and blocking, he could only barely block the attack.

The lightning strike just now contained damage far exceeding Sequence 2; this Storm Thunderbird is probably the strongest opponent he has ever faced head-on.

Time reversed, and the injuries on Rosen's wings were completely healed.

He no longer tried to withstand the damage head-on. With the Vengeful Judgment activated, under the accelerated time and the infinite void flickering of Void Gun Dance, Rosen began to move and blink around at an extremely high speed in a disorderly manner, giving the Storm Thunderbird no chance to lock onto him.

At the same time, Rosen activated the Weapon Master's Miracle Trait Weapon Adaptation.

The Dragon God's Wrath transformed from a firearm suitable for human hands into a hollow, spiraling dragon horn atop its head.

The Dragon God's Roar Bullet was launched instantly, wrapped in a series of miraculous halos. The psychic bullet, which had been fused and superimposed with all the skills, transformed into a fiery dragon and struck the Storm Thunder Bird Beast King under the acceleration of time. Then, the psychic bullet instantly expanded and transformed into a dragon breath fireball that covered a radius of a hundred miles.

The entire fireball's outer shell was composed of world domains, and the world authority formed by the fusion of dozens of authorities was suppressing all the storm thunderbirds.

Those Storm Thunderbirds below Sequence 3 were almost instantly vaporized into black orbs of combat power.

In the end, only a few hundred Sequence 3 Storm Thunderbirds stubbornly survived the burning of the dragon flames.

The Storm Thunderbird Beast King let out a desperate wail as its entire body rapidly dissolved.

Its remaining flesh and blood completely disappeared, and its entire body turned into an energy state. However, this forced change was unstable and could not last. The Storm Thunderbird Beast King's huge size instantly shrank to a wingspan of one meter, and it transformed into a golden lightning bolt as it swooped down toward Rosen.

Rosen tried his best to dodge, but the Storm Thunderbird Beast King in this state was faster than him.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, Rosen immediately activated all his defensive abilities.

It shares the Guardian Block and Glory Shield from the Holy Grail Knight, the Holy Grail Crown of the Holy Grail King that locks health, the Elemental Immunity from the Fairy Dragon Ball, the Light Walker and Holy Light Protection from the Holy Lion Coat, plus the World Domain, and the Hardening formed by the Life Essence Qi that covers the entire body.

With all his defensive abilities combined, Rosen swung his right wing and collided with the Storm Thunderbird Beast King.

Its indestructible beak tore through all defenses, layer by layer.

Finally, the Storm Thunderbird Beast King pierced through the dragon scales and plunged into the heart, then released all the power of storm and thunder within the heart.

Rosen's body turned to charcoal from the inside out, and was then torn apart by the storm, almost completely annihilated.

Only his head is still intact, protected by Nen, but you can still see his wriggling brain through the carbonized skull.

If it weren't for the Holy Grail Crown locking his life points, Rosen would be seriously injured right now. With the regeneration from the Holy Grail Crown, his Nen self-healing, his Ancient God Body, and his Yinglong Undying Body, Rosen's body began to heal rapidly. His carbonized and pulverized body was visibly growing back. Seeing this, the Storm Thunder Bird Beast King pounced on him once again.

Although its speed and power have been greatly reduced compared to before, it still possesses a terrifying destructive force that Rosen could not withstand in the past.

But things are different now. Rosen's newly grown right wing directly blocked the Storm Thunderbird Beast King.

Rosen had never felt so powerful. The greater the difference in strength between himself and his enemy, the greater the damage amplification of the Vengeance Judgment. The more severe the injury to Yinglong's Undying Body, the stronger the amplification of its power. Combined with the Holy Grail Crown to lock his life points, the three formed a perfect closed loop.

Rosen's speed increased, and he began to hunt down the Storm Thunderbird Beast King in the storm.

The Storm Thunderbird Beast King, whose attack had just been blocked, realized that the dragon in front of him was an opponent he could not defeat. He immediately fled into the depths of Storm Canyon, enduring the divine awe of the dragon's roar behind him, as well as the impact damage from the Dragon God's Roar Bullets.

At this moment, the demigods of various races hiding in Thunder Harbor fled without hesitation.

They had all realized that, regardless of who won or lost, this was their last chance to escape.

Under Rosen's relentless pursuit, the Storm Thunderbird Beast King grew larger and larger, indicating that its divine power was being consumed more and more, and it was gradually unable to continue to restrain the compression and refinement of its energy body.

Therefore, the larger the body size, the weaker it is, and the more violent the backlash from the forced complete energy transformation.

Rosen seized the opportunity and used Void Flash to intercept the Storm Thunderbird Beast King.

The world domain that unfolded instantly collided with the storm domain unleashed by the Storm Thunderbird Beast King.

However, the World Domain, which integrates dozens of rules and authority, far surpasses the Storm Domain in strength. Therefore, the Storm Thunderbird Beast King was trapped inside the World Domain. Before it could tear the World Domain apart, Rosen had already unleashed the Dragon Devouring Heaven technique he had prepared and swallowed the World Domain whole.

Despite the Storm Thunderbird Beast King's constant struggles inside Rosen's stomach, it was unable to escape.

The strongest parts of Rosen's body right now, besides his heart, are his stomach.

His heart is the heart of an ancient god, and his stomach has been modified by the Gluttony Authority, strengthened by the Yinglong Immortal Body and the Ancient God Body. He even integrated the Gluttony Runestone into his stomach, creating an 87-layered infinite loop of the Gluttony Trap World.

If it were the Storm Thunderbird Beast King at its peak, it might still have a chance to force its way out.

It's too late now; the Storm Thunderbird Beast King will only grow weaker and weaker in his stomach until he is devoured.

When Rosen returned to Thunder Harbor, he could no longer see any living Storm Thunderbirds.

Clearly, the surviving Storm Thunderbirds had taken the opportunity to escape, and at this point, chasing them would only result in capturing a few hundred Storm Thunderbirds.

There's no point in continuing to wait passively; it seems he'll have to go elsewhere to capture the Storm Thunderbird.

Storm Canyon is vast even on its outer perimeter, and the Storm Thunderbirds' spawning grounds are certainly not limited to Thunder Harbor. However, that place is the safest, while the other spawning grounds are located in more dangerous locations. Nevertheless, the dangers on the outer perimeter do not pose a threat to Rosen.

So after several years of hard work, Rosen has captured tens of thousands of Storm Thunderbirds.

He could have captured even more, but his reckless attempts to capture Storm Thunderbirds attracted a Sequence 1 Storm Thunderbird Beast King. After several exchanges, he didn't gain the upper hand, and sensing the danger, he stopped in time.

Rosen knew very well that the Storm Thunderbirds were not the biggest danger on the outskirts of Storm Canyon.

Those evil cults are the ones that truly threaten him.

When he fought the Storm Thunderbird Beast King of Sequence 1 for the third time, he could clearly sense that someone was spying on him in the dark, so he stopped in time. Otherwise, what awaited him next might have been an ambush by the powerful members of the Church of Evil God.

In the Ancient God Realm, Rosen found a lake on the Dark Continent.

Over the years, the Vengeance Tribunal has reaped tens of thousands of black trophy orbs.

Since they were all dropped by Storm Thunderbirds, the resulting materials and artifacts were all extraordinary items related to storms and thunder. Because there were so many, Rosen planned to integrate the rest into the lake, leaving only a few high-quality items for his knights.

The Ancient God Realm doesn't have an environment like Storm Canyon, but it can artificially create the natural rainforest of the Thunder Empire.

Rosen directly used the power of Yinglong's Void Creation to decompose all the extraordinary materials and artifacts with storm and lightning attributes. Then, using the nameless lake in front of him as the core, he used the source obtained after the decomposition to create a small world.

Finally, the lakes within a radius of ten thousand miles turned into a sea, which was filled with endless thunderclouds and storms.

All the Storm Thunderbirds that had broken the seal of time have been tamed by the Nightmare Shackles.

So, tens of thousands of Storm Thunderbirds quickly laid more than 100,000 eggs and then worked hard to adapt to their new living environment.

All the bird eggs were sent to Paradise Pharmaceuticals, where the hatching success rate was over 90%.

All the females and a few males were sent back to the Storm Thunderbirds' habitat to expand the population. The remaining majority of the males were enough to arm at least 60,000 Storm Thunderbird Knights, a number that was almost greater than the total number of Storm Thunderbird Knights in the Thunder Empire.

Rosen has achieved his goal in Storm Canyon, and now he's not in a hurry to leave.

Over the past few years, he has discovered two unusual events related to him.

The first is the Sea God's Remnant Ring; he sensed the other Sea God's Remnant Rings.

The second were the Dragonblood Vial and the Potion Vial. Through the Pocket of Miracles, he discovered other flasks in Storm Canyon.

Rosen was most interested in finding other bottles, since the Bottle series was a miraculous treasure born from the creation of the first potion. If he could collect the whole set, its value would be immeasurable.

However, for some reason, he could only sense that there was a treasure bottle in Storm Canyon, but he couldn't sense the specific direction.

With no other option, Rosen could only turn his attention to the remnant of the Sea God's Ring.

He set up keyword searches for the Poseidon Ring on various online platforms.

The result was somewhat unexpected; neither the deep web of the spirit world nor the network of the gods had any relevant information.

This is clearly abnormal; it's obvious that someone has erased all existing information about the remnant of the Sea God's Ring.

Rosen then turned his attention to investigating the sea god, but there were too many deities in history who claimed to be the sea god.

Then he noticed something strange: these sea gods were all Sequence 0.

Surprisingly, not a single one of them is recorded in history as a true god?

It's important to know that the main body of the main world is the ocean, and it's strange that no true god has been born in this realm.

The only explanation is that a true god has already been born in the ocean realm, or even a great true god has been born in the past. This is why the path for later generations to become true gods through ocean authority has been blocked, and why all records related to the remnants of the sea god's ring have been erased.

In fact, Rosen realized long ago that the Poseidon Ring was not so simple.

Because the Poseidon Ring, like the Holy Grail King, is different from other miracle artifacts.

Other miracle treasures basically possess miracle attributes and miracle characteristics.

However, the Poseidon Ring and the Holy Grail King both possess the power to grant individuals relevant divine authority.

It is now certain that the King of the Grail is related to the Great God, otherwise the three Gods would not have gone to such lengths to plan the start of the King's Game. Conversely, looking at the Poseidon Ring, it is not hard to imagine that this thing may also be related to the Great God.

So after discovering the other remnants of the Sea God's Ring, Rosen couldn't help but approach them like a moth to a flame.

However, he wasn't just taking a pure risk. Other holders of the Sea God's Remnant Ring didn't have the Miracle Pocket and might not be able to sense other Sea God's Remnant Rings of the same origin. Even if he had other means of locating the Sea God's Remnant Ring, he would usually keep it in his mysterious study.

Several months later, Rosen successfully approached the location of the first fragment of the Sea God's Ring that he had sensed.

However, the closer he got, the more he noticed that the number of divine descendants in the vicinity was increasing.

This made him wonder if the remnant of the Sea God he was looking for might be the same place as the alchemy laboratory in Viska that these divine descendants were searching for. If that were true, it would be a mixed blessing.

The good news is that this fragment of the Poseidon Ring is unclaimed; the bad news is that getting it won't be easy.

Rosen could sweep through ordinary divine beings, but the only ones who could make him wary were the top-tier divine beings.

However, even the most ordinary divine descendant has at least one Sequence 0 behind them. If they accidentally kill a few while fighting for treasure, they will suddenly have several more Sequence 0 enemies. Therefore, they must not let anyone discover their true identity.

Rosen continued to maintain the changes of the Heavenly Punishment Dragon, preparing in advance to eliminate the scapegoat of the divine offspring.
