Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 276 The Depths of the Canyon and the Mech Wizard Tower
Chapter 275

"Finally, it has become a complete Sequence 3..."

Rosen sensed that his divinity had grown to 86 points, only five points away from the limit of 91 points for Sequence 3.

With the oil lamp of origin, and with no lack of faith, his divine growth came naturally without any effort.

What he really had to worry about was the future growth of the World Tree and how to obtain a suitable Sequence 8 miracle artifact.

He has quite a few of Sequence 1 items, and even a few at the True God level.

However, Sequence 8, especially a Sequence 8 Miracle Treasure with very high potential, is very difficult to obtain.

Just look at the Sequence 9 Knight's Reins; its true value is no less than any Sequence 3 Miracle Treasure.

Besides the miraculous treasures, he also lacked cultivation resources.

The legacy of the Hunter God, the legacy of the Sequence 1 Bronze Dragon, aside from those precious treasures, there are not many regular spiritual crystals and divine crystals left, because the growth of the World Tree is simply a bottomless pit, and no amount of divine crystals can meet the World Tree's needs.

If the world can give rise to laws, theoretically, it could grow into a world as vast as the abyss without any problem.

However, in reality, the painted world inside the first World Fruit is less than one ten-thousandth of the Abyss.

The reason it's so small is because it lacks the resources needed for growth.

Therefore, the first World Fruit is actually severely underdeveloped.

He's only Sequence 3, yet his daily expenses already exceed those of many gods.

Cutting costs is impossible, so we can only try to increase revenue.

The Ancient God Realm is struggling to generate new revenue. Although it has started to produce positive output after getting on the right track, with hundreds of billions of believers and billions of extraordinary beings, the area of ​​the Ancient God Realm has increased significantly this time, and the newly added areas require continuous investment to ensure stable output.

The same applies to the Glorious Continent; it's currently in the development stage and it's difficult to generate satisfactory profits.

So if Lawson wants to feed the world's fruit, he has no choice but to work overtime.

The fastest way to make money is by digging for treasure, but he can no longer convert miracle treasure maps.

Because his innate fortune is fixed at the True God level, the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map can only be transformed into a Miracle Treasure Map at the True God level. Not to mention that this is beyond the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map's ability limit, even if it could be transformed, he wouldn't dare to permanently use up his innate fortune at the True God level.

Without the protection of innate destiny, those true gods could easily find the World Tree by following the painters' sequence.

Unable to rely on the Apocalypse Treasure Map, Rosen pulled out his Miracle Pocket.

It seems the only way to find treasure is through equivalent exchange, but the location chosen must be one where there is treasure.

It seems he still needs to make a trip to Storm Canyon. Aside from the unique and rare resources there, the extraordinary artifacts from the Aquarius series are also worth searching for carefully in Storm Canyon.

……

Returning to Storm Canyon, this time Rosen did not encounter the unexpected gathering of the Divineborn.

Six months later, Rosen had penetrated nearly halfway into Storm Canyon.

At this point in Storm Canyon, it's not just endless hurricanes and lightning anymore. The seawater is either blown into the sky by the hurricanes and becomes torrential rain, or it is forcibly broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by the lightning, and then explodes horribly under the sweep of the hurricane.

What's even more terrifying is that at this distance, the hurricane and lightning begin to possess powerful spiritual energy.

Without sufficient spiritual power, even the strongest winds and thunder cannot threaten the life of a demigod.

However, having acquired a powerful spiritual essence, the hurricanes and lightning have become almost living beings, actively targeting all extraordinary life forms. Therefore, extraordinary life forms are almost nowhere to be seen here, and those who arrive here at Sequence 3 have a very high probability of being struck by lightning.

With each step Rosen took, lightning from dozens of miles around seemed to strike him like a lightning rod.

In addition, the constant obstruction from the hurricane made every step forward difficult.

The Church of Evil Gods will not be stationed here. The weakest people coming and going here are all Sequence 2, and they are mainly after extraordinary resources generated under special circumstances. As the world domain expands and contracts, Rosen has already captured a Sequence 2 eye stone in the hurricane.

These eye stones naturally contain the power of hurricanes and the power of the earth.

Without the power of the earth, the eye of the storm would have been blown apart by hurricanes and shattered by lightning long ago.

This extraordinary material is extremely valuable and can be used to create the power engines for void destroyers.

This was already a considerable gain for a demigod, but it was far from enough to satisfy Rosen's appetite.

Rosen deployed his World Domain to isolate the hurricane and lightning before taking out his Miracle Pocket for an equivalent exchange.

He casually took out the Sequence 1 Extraordinary Artifact Guardian Armor. This was Lyric's armor, which was severely damaged by the true damage from the Ash Brand during the battle. Without the technology of the Angel race, it would be difficult to repair. He might as well use it for an equivalent exchange to enhance his treasure hunting ability.

Through the enhancement of equivalent exchange, the treasure-hunting ability of Sequence 3 is enhanced to that of Sequence 1.

Rosen sensed the distance and location of various resources and treasures locked by his treasure-hunting ability, activated the Void Eye, a miraculous property of the Hunter God's Eye, and then opened a series of void wormholes near the approximate coordinates.

Finally, they spread across the world, capturing resources and treasures like a fishing net.

One by one, the treasures sensed by the Miracle Pocket disappeared, and soon all the high-value resources and treasures within a thousand miles were swept away. Before the treasure-hunting ability's enhancement period ended, he casually drew a door, pushed it open, and appeared thousands of miles away.

For the next few years, Rosen frantically searched for treasure in Storm Canyon using the Miracle Pocket.

However, the Miracle Pocket consumes Luck, so overall the expenditure exceeds the gain.

So when his luck dropped to a certain level, he switched to using his miracle skill, the Precognitive Painter, to find treasures.

The painter's miraculous abilities and prophetic abilities possess a terrifying power that, theoretically, will always come true.

Rosen said that a treasure would be blown to him by a hurricane, and that his prophecy would surely come true.

However, through repeated attempts, he also discovered the theoretical limits of miracle prophecy.

Firstly, the things you predict should not exceed the limits of your own abilities.

Secondly, the more predictions made within a certain period of time, the lower the success rate of miraculous predictions will be.

However, as long as he kept the pace right, the miracle prediction still brought Rosen a great deal of profit.

On this day, Lawson began his daily routine as usual.

"I predict that today the Pocket of Miracles will be able to lock in the Bottle series of Miracle Treasures..."

After casting the Miracle Prophecy, Rosen immediately took out his Miracle Pocket and activated the Treasure Hunt for the Aquarius series of Miracle Treasures.

I thought it would be another failure like usual, but I didn't expect to find something this time?
Rosen couldn't wait to head straight in the direction the treasure hunt indicated. A few hours later, he arrived at the left bank of Storm Canyon. He quickly found a sinkhole, where a continuous stream of hurricanes poured into the ground.

Wind is essentially the movement of air; the movement of cold air towards warm air creates wind.

Since the airflow cannot continue to move forward in a closed space, there must be a hidden world at the bottom of this sinkhole.

Rosen jumped directly into the sinkhole and, carried by the hurricane, went hundreds of miles underground.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, Rosen saw a black hole-like vortex churning up a hurricane falling from above.

After checking the surroundings and finding nothing else unusual, Rosen jumped directly into the vortex.

After passing through the vortex, Rosen broke free from the hurricane's embrace and pointed his finger into the air.

Divinity merges with the authority of light, relying on the point of attachment of divinity in the spatial dimension.

Then, the dot that appeared when the fingertip touched it transformed into a small golden sun after being elevated in dimension.

This small sun, painted within the spatial dimension, instantly released warm sunlight, illuminating the dark underground space.

This is an underground mine with a diameter of one kilometer. Judging from the surrounding rock walls, it should be a high-purity copper ore vein.

In the center of the mine stands a thousand-meter-tall wizard tower cast from refined wind copper. At the top of the tower is a giant eye stone with a diameter of ten meters, which absorbs the hurricanes that pour into the sinkhole.

Rosen examined it closely and realized it was a Sequence 2 wizard tower.

His magnificent royal city only has a Sequence 3 Wizard Tower, which was a gift from the King of Star Coins. The higher the level of such extraordinary buildings, the rarer they are. This Sequence 2 Wizard Tower is no less valuable than a Sequence 0 extraordinary artifact.

The entire wizard tower is sealed off, so forcing your way in is definitely not an option. The wizard tower's strongest feature is the magical lock that covers the outside of the tower.

Rosen went directly to one side of the tower and took out his magic brush to draw a door on it. This door, based on divine essence, perfectly mastered the laws of painting.

Every law has its own unique characteristics; for example, space is good at forming worlds and good at spatial teleportation.

The principles of painting are to excel at imitating all things and to excel at integrating and creating all things.

This door is modeled after the door of a mysterious study, and it incorporates spatial rules.

With a push, the drawn door opened.

Without triggering any of the Wizard Tower's warning measures, one can directly enter the tower by walking through this door.

However, as soon as Rosen stepped into the Wizard Tower, sealing magic circles appeared in the hall on the ground floor, instantly trapping Rosen in a sealed space constructed by dark rules.

"The Wizard Tower's intelligent core?"

Rosen frowned.

However, sensing the unique spiritual fluctuations of the sealing magic circle, he immediately rejected this judgment.

"This is troublesome! This is actually a mechanical spirit life form transformed from a mechanical spirit!"

In the case of an intelligent core, wizards usually restrict the intelligent core's control over the wizard tower in order to prevent the intelligent core from developing its own consciousness. However, mechanical spirits are different. Even without a wizard, they can fully exert the power of the wizard tower.

So the only option left is to force our way through, and we also have to be careful of the self-destruct commands that the mechanical spirits might possess.

Rosen vanished into the Void Realm, simultaneously manipulating dozens of Sequence 4 Shadow Fiends to scatter in all directions.

If the Wizard Tower's Mech Spirit chooses to block the Shadow Fiend, then the Shadow Fiend can help alleviate the pressure.

If the Wizard Tower's spirit ignores the Shadow Demons, it can send the Shadow Demons ahead to scout the way, and then use the Void Shadow Realm created by the Shadow Demons to directly traverse into the shadows where the Shadow Demons are located. Soon, dozens of Shadow Demons have been imprisoned by dozens of sealing barriers.

However, Rosen seized the opportunity and used Dragon God's Wrath to break through the sealing barriers along the way and forcefully rush to the third floor of the Wizard Tower.

Realizing the threat posed by Rosen, the Wizard Tower's Mech Spirit began to ignore the Shadow Demon.

However, Rosen charged up the tower even faster, and soon he had reached the sixth floor of the Wizard Tower by using the Void Realm.

However, Rosen stopped, because the seventh floor was not so simple.

The Wizard Tower of Sequence 2 has a total of eight floors, with the top floor typically serving as the energy and control center.

Then, the floor below the top floor is usually the wizard's living quarters.

If an intruder reaches this level, it means that the seals and barriers on the lower levels have all failed.

Continuing to seal and intercept is pointless. At this point, the Wizard Tower will no longer care whether fighting inside the Wizard Tower will damage it. Therefore, this layer is no longer a gentle sealing and interception, but killing the intruders at any cost.

Rosen activated the Holy Light Protection of the Holy Lion Garment, while simultaneously deploying the psychic shield and world domain formed from the essence of life.

Only after his defenses were fully stacked did he push open the door leading to the seventh floor of the Wizard Tower.

After pushing open the door, there was a metal passageway, and the door behind it suddenly disappeared and also turned into a metal passageway.

Both the front and back metal passages are curved, and the howling sound of a hurricane can be heard from the depths of the passage ahead.

Rosen punched the wall of the ten-meter-wide metal passage, but didn't even leave a mark.

The Dragon God's Wrath's spear strike only caused a wound the size of a grain of rice.

Not only the walls on both sides, but also the overhead and floor are of equal strength. The construction material of this passage is at least a Sequence 1 extraordinary alloy, and it is an extraordinary alloy with characteristics such as damage reduction and spiritual absorption, which completely maximizes the defense.

Rosen soon saw a hurricane-shaped wind dragon accelerating and crashing towards him from the passage ahead.

Dragon God's Wrath blasted the Wind Dragon apart with a single shot, but countless more Wind Dragons followed in its wake.

Rosen could only retreat, but he soon realized that the passage he was in was a circular passage with no way out. Countless wind dragons could be generated inside the passage. He either had to break through the passage to get out, or he would be torn to pieces by the countless wind dragons in the circular passage.

Rosen unleashed his World Domain to withstand the wind dragon's impact, and drew a door on the inside of the circular passage.

Pushing open the door, he found himself on the seventh floor of the real wizard's tower.

Within a flat area spanning dozens of miles, there are as many as a thousand alchemical golems.

The weakest are all Sequence 3, and the strongest are three Alchemy Golem Gundams, all Sequence 1.

A full thousand low-sequence 3 ranged spells were now locked onto Rosen and launched at him in a massive barrage.

Rosen had no room to dodge at all. The Dragon God's Wrath fired countless psychic bullets under the accelerated time, shattering all the magic skills that came near. It even had the power to use the miracle property, Eye of the Void, to open a void wormhole behind the alchemical golem and launch a sneak attack with psychic bullets.

Those Sequence 3 alchemical golems were constantly being hit in vital points with true damage by the unpredictable psychic projectiles.

The Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit realized that the Sequence 3 alchemical golems posed no threat to the intruders, so it immediately used spatial teleportation to send all the Sequence 3 alchemical golems away, leaving only three Sequence 1 and nine Sequence 2 alchemical golems behind.

One of the Sequence 1 alchemical golems then unfolded a small-scale spatial domain of distorted space.

Because the area is small enough, the degree of distortion of space is strong enough.

The wormhole opened by the Eye of the Void became unstable, giving these alchemical golems a timely opportunity to evade the psychic projectile attack.

The Sequence 1 alchemical golem, wielding a short sword and standing less than 1.5 meters tall, suddenly vanished like an assassin. At the same time, the alchemical golem, resembling a mage, unleashed a hurricane that covered an area spanning dozens of miles.

Under the cover of the hurricane, the assassin golem silently crept up to Rosen.

Instead of attacking from behind, they merged with the hurricane and launched a surprise attack from the front.

Rosen couldn't see the Assassin Golem, but his seventh sense foresaw that he would be assassinated head-on.

So, just before the assassin golem was about to assassinate him, he directly used the Ancient God's Divine Sound to unleash the Great Sound of Silence.

The ancient god's divine voice amplified the power of the Great Sound Without Sound by more than ten times. The silent dragon roar was compressed into a beam of sound that struck the assassin golem, directly shattering the spirituality infused into the golem by the wizard tower's mechanical spirit. As a result, the alchemical golem lost control and instantly fell into a standby state.

Rosen put away the Assassin Golem, which was at least equivalent to a Sequence 1 professional in the Bronze Sequence.

If it weren't for the close-range, silent counterattack, dealing with this alchemical golem would have come at a certain cost.

Without the threat of the assassin golem, Rosen began to teleport and shoot at supersonic speed.

The alchemical golem's greatest advantage is its strong defense, but the Ash Brand is best at breaking through defenses. As time went by, one alchemical golem after another was destroyed and the control center fell one after another. However, at this time, Rosen had already quietly sneaked into the eighth floor of the Wizard Tower.

Rosen worried that forcibly destroying all the alchemical golems would trigger the self-destruct program of the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit.

He wanted a intact wizard tower, not one that self-destructed into a super bomb and then exploded into pieces.

So, under the cover of the world domain, he left a self-portrait clone flying a kite in that space, while his true self quietly used the wolf totem for concealment to enter the mysterious study at the edge of the space, and then sneaked into the living area on the seventh floor of the wizard tower through the window.

There are no strong surveillance and reconnaissance methods in the living area, because the wizard himself does not want to be monitored by the wizard tower's mechanical spirits.

If the enemies who forced their way into the Wizard Tower couldn't even be stopped by the previous circular passage and the thousands of alchemical golems, then the living quarters would be even less likely to stop them. So Rosen infiltrated directly into the eighth floor of the Wizard Tower from the living quarters.

However, not long after infiltrating, the warning magic circle on the eighth floor of the Wizard Tower was triggered.

Without any hesitation, the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit immediately activated the Wizard Tower's self-destruct program.

The elemental furnace at the top of the Wizard Tower began to forcibly self-destruct.

However, in that instant, Rosen had already activated the World Domain that covered the top of the Wizard Tower, casting a time-stopping effect.

Then find the control center of the Wizard Tower and forcibly control the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit by using spiritual domination.

It took Rosen several hours to gain initial control over the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit.

However, the self-destruction of the Elemental Furnace could not be stopped. The terrifying wind element inside, powerful enough to kill Sequence 1, was difficult to reverse even with time reversal. He could only command the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirit to dismantle the Elemental Furnace and seal it away as a reserve bomb.

Having successfully captured the Wizard Tower, Rosen began tallying his spoils with the help of the Wizard Tower's mechanical spirits.

Aside from the Wizard Tower itself and the alchemical golems, the most valuable things in the entire Wizard Tower are the Alchemical Golem production line, which is at Sequence 3, the vast amount of extraordinary materials stored in the Alchemy Laboratory, and the massive amount of wind-attribute spiritual crystals generated by the Elemental Forge absorbing hurricanes over thousands of years.

As for the Aquarius series of miracle treasures that he wanted most, he searched the entire Wizard Tower but found nothing.
