Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 284 God's Paint and the Hand of God

Chapter 283

In the ancient realm of gods, the Dragon-Binding Rope bound the Void Dragon God, Jimatik, and hung him from a tree.

At this moment, Matic was still struggling frantically. The dragon-binding rope kept wrapping around his dragon wings, turning them into pieces of flesh, but it still couldn't stop Matic's self-destructive struggle, because Matic had already seen the imaginary dragon drooling in front of him.

Clearly, as long as he falls into a deep sleep, the imaginary dragon before him will plunge him into an eternal slumber.

Therefore, Matic would rather be injured or suffer than fall asleep.

After getting rid of the Holy Light Dragon God, Rosen immediately went to the World Tree to deal with Matic.

Rosen instantly unleashed the Cloud Dream Law, using it to lock onto Mattik and unleash the Primal Dream.

As time went by, Matic gradually fell into a deep sleep in despair.

Rosen manipulated the primal dream into Matiq's dream little by little through dream entanglement. Only when the two were completely integrated did he grant the Imaginary Dragon access to the primal dream, and then allowed the Imaginary Dragon to occupy the primal dream.

In just a few years at most, the Imaginary Dragon will surely be able to advance to Sequence 0 this time.

This is not only because the Imaginary Dragon had experienced a failed ascension, but also because he strengthened the Imaginary Dragon's innate fortune to sequence 0.

Finally, even with the aid of the Dragon God's divine authority, it still cannot become Sequence 0, so the Imaginary Dragon has no value.

These past few years have been very busy, so Rosen has been guarding the World Tree.

Of course, he wasn't just waiting idly; the fragments of the wise dragon god's divine essence in his hands could prove invaluable.

Although it is only a fragment of a god, it still contains powerful wisdom, divinity, and the power of the laws of wisdom.

Refining this fragment of divine essence would allow Rosen's wisdom to grow remarkably.

Several years is enough time for him to develop a second painting skill.

Rosen already had an idea for the second skill.

Divine possession, Nen abilities, mind control, drawing skills, Ed's palette, the seven deadly sins...

His second skill requires the power of the Hunter Sequence.

Therefore, the difficulty of creating one's own skills exceeds that of the dimensional canvas.

With the aid of the fragments of the God of Wisdom, Rosen began to create new skills little by little by using the time acceleration of the Time Drawing.

Five years have passed in reality before Rosen created the second skill of Sequence 3 within the painter's extraordinary essence.

[God's Paint: With the help of God's palette, everything can be transformed into God's paint]

The skill "God's Paint" is simply an upgrade of Edward's "Palette" skill.

Originally, relying on the soul painter, he could imprison the spirituality of life and then transform it into spiritual paint through Ed's palette. This paint, which has no substance and is composed entirely of spirituality, is very suitable for creating five-dimensional paintings.

Because ordinary pigments simply cannot adhere to five-dimensional space.

However, Rosen always believed that Edward's color palette skill was not impressive enough.

However, there are no skills more powerful than this at lower levels, and the highest-level ones are all at Sequence 0.

Therefore, by combining his own strengths, Rosen created God Paint and even used his Sequence 3 Nen ability to develop God Palette, which is a materialized form of Nen, to perfectly unleash the powerful energy contained in God Paint.

Rosen has hundreds of billions of followers in the Ancient God Realm, and these followers' faith in him is very pure.

However, the fact that believers worship him does not mean that his followers will lose themselves.

His followers include corrupt politicians, kind-hearted saints, greedy businessmen, and serial killers who commit murder in secret. These people are a mix of good and evil, but that does not diminish their faith in him.

To put it bluntly, the more negative a believer's nature is, the more devout they tend to be in their faith.

Because these people are greedy enough to have desires, yet they believe in gods without seeking any benefit. Are they born with a love for selfless dedication?

Those who are completely without desires yet still believe in him are either simple fools or so devout in their faith that they have become saints.

Rosen's mental network covers all the temples, continuously absorbing the faith of hundreds of billions of beings.

In the past, he would not directly absorb faith, but would filter it through the God's computer to at least remove the negative and chaotic faith, otherwise absorbing such faith for a long time would do more harm than good.

But things are different now; Rosen no longer needs the God Computer to filter faith.

All beliefs containing negative thoughts were sent by Him to God's palette through the network of the mind.

Then, on God's palette, various special pigments are formed.

Paint made entirely of greed, paint made entirely of hatred, paint made entirely of happiness, paint made entirely of joy—beliefs, whether containing negative or positive emotions, can all be transformed into different paints.

Using these pigments to paint can amplify the power of spiritual artwork to the fullest extent.

Rosen arrived at the Void Gallery, where a human prisoner of Sequence 6 stood before him.

This human prisoner was once very devout in his faith, but he was also very ambitious. However, his abilities and faith combined were not enough to satisfy his ambition. In the end, his ambition remained unfulfilled for a long time, and his originally devout faith began to turn into resentment.

He eventually went down the path of assassinating church members and was captured by the Inquisition and imprisoned in the Void Prison.

Rosen collected some of the prisoner's blood and used a portion of it to transform into dimensional canvas.

Then, using the remaining blood, combined with the goodness gathered from God's palette, God's paint was created.

Rosen used God's paint to paint on the dimensional paper and quickly drew a portrait of the prisoner in front of him.

As the final stroke of the brush fell, all the ambition, hatred, and anger in the prisoner's heart vanished in that moment, leaving only pure kindness. He became a truly good person, inside and out.

This is the power of God's pigment on a spiritual level, capable of directly altering the spirituality and thoughts of all living beings.

Rosen continued to explore other uses of God's palette, this time not by absorbing faith, but by sending a rock into God's palette to form God's paint, and then sealing a pound of soil into a dimensional canvas.

This time he painted a castle, and after finishing it, he threw the painting into an open space.

In the blink of an eye, a castle appeared on this empty space.

It's not difficult for a painter to bring everything depicted in their paintings to life in reality, relying on their spiritual inspiration.

However, even the most realistic castle depicted in a spiritual painting is still fake.

However, the castle before him was real, because it was not a castle he had drawn that had materialized, but rather a castle that had been formed by the painting itself absorbing real soil and rocks.

This is the most terrifying aspect of God's paint: using the limited reality in the painting to leverage the endless reality of the real world.

Rosen then began frantically creating God's Paint, incorporating everything he could access into the God's Palette and transforming it into God's Paint, including even luck and the skills he possessed.

Rosen transformed the pre-death judgment figure into God's paint.

Then the character illustrations for the Death Judgment were redrawn, resulting in a significant improvement in the effect of the Death Judgment.

Of the tens of thousands of God pigments he has concocted so far, the most effective is the God pigment transformed from the extraordinary source matter. He used this God pigment to paint a self-portrait of the original owner of the extraordinary source matter, and the deceased extraordinary person was resurrected based on this painting.

This is different from the resurrection of the Spirit Realm paintings, whose essence relies on the spirit world.

If there are no traces of the spirit world, it is difficult for paintings in the spirit realm to be resurrected.

However, God's Paint, transformed from extraordinary source matter, can still come to life in the spirit world even if the original owner did not leave any trace of their existence. As long as the raw materials used to make God's Paint are of good enough quality, God's Paint is theoretically almost omnipotent.

The core of the Dimensional Canvas is primarily based on dimensions and the sealing authority, with painting rules and other regulations playing a secondary role.

However, the core essence of God's paint is that the rules of painting are primary, while other rules are secondary.

By skillfully imitating all things through the principles of painting, and by integrating the power to create all things, and finally combining this with the ever-changing compatibility of the mental abilities originating from primitive humans, they created the incredible skill of God's Paint.

Rosen sensed his own divine origin, and the intensity of his divinity had been accelerated to 88 points due to the influence of the fragments of the Wisdom Dragon God's divine essence.

He is getting closer and closer to the completion of Sequence 3.

So he decided to go all out and create his last self-created skill as well. The first skill was drawing paper, the second was paint, and the third skill was originally supposed to be a paintbrush, but the Divine Brush skill was already powerful enough, so for the last skill, he planned to create a damaging painting technique similar to Death's Judgment.

[Canvas of the Mind, Prophetic Painting, Finishing Touch, Eraser of Fate, Mark of Fate, Food Chain, God Hunter...]

Having already gained experience from the previous two encounters, and having obtained fragments of the divine essence of the Wise Dragon God.

However, it took Rosen a full ten years to successfully create his last self-created skill.

Because in the end, he incorporated part of Yinglong's power of creating the void and generating all things into his final skill.

[The Hand of God: Miraculous Painting Techniques]

[Miracle Attribute: A spiritual painting created after using God's power can indirectly manipulate all things.]

[Miracle Traits: God's Will, Uniqueness of Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Immortal]

Rosen summoned his magic brush, opened the Void Sketchbook, and casually sketched York City.

The moment the drawing was finished, the miraculous property of God's will took effect.

Through this painting, his divine power can directly descend upon the real Yokersin City. By altering this painting, he can bring about corresponding changes in the real Yokersin City. This is the application of God's hand and will on the real level.

Rosen flipped the Void Sketchbook over; this time, it depicted a gaunt young man.

This is the Church of the Lord God, which has since been renamed the Church of Glory, and is still wanted by a Sequence 5 thief.

As the master of the Ancient God Realm, Rosen could easily catch this thief.

But if we let him do everything, what's the point of having the Glorious Church?
However, he needs guinea pigs now, so he's just unlucky.

Rosen did not paint a normal portrait of the thief. In his painting, the thief broke into the Brilliant Church to steal treasures, but accidentally triggered a trap in the treasure room and died from being dismembered by the spatial trap.

The moment the painting was finished, God's will was automatically activated.

Rosen manipulated the thief's future through this painting, and he would soon die the same way the painting depicted.

Strictly speaking, he painted a picture that foreshadowed death.

To manipulate fate like God, to control all things like God—that is the terrifying power of the Hand of God.
If God's Hand combines with God's Paint and then paints onto a dimensional canvas, the three elements are superimposed, and finally, with the addition of painterly skills such as adding the finishing touch, the final effect will be a terrifyingly amplified.

Rosen put away the Void Album and looked up at the Void Dragon God, Zephyr, who was hanging under the World Tree.

The imaginary dragon still hasn't become a god, and it looks like it's going to fail again.

It has not completely failed so far, only because the Dragon Binding Rope has kept the imaginary dragon's soul alive.

At first, he thought it was just a fantasy dragon that was beyond redemption.

However, as the divine avatar delved deeper into the history of the dragon race related to the Imaginary Dragons, it was discovered that it seemed that only one god had been born in the history of the Imaginary Dragons, and there was no second Sequence 0. This suggests that the upper limit of the Imaginary Dragon race might be Sequence 1.

That mythical dragon, the only one to become a deity, may have had a destiny unknown to the world.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The imaginary dragon is enough to make the dragon god fear it, so you can imagine how powerful the imaginary dragon is. Sometimes being too powerful is not a good thing. The balance of all things will naturally cause other flaws in life forms that are too overpowered.

Therefore, it is probably more difficult than imagined for the imaginary dragon to advance.

Although he failed this time as well, he had some understanding of why he failed.

The normal progression from Sequence 1 to Sequence 0 involves igniting the divine fire, condensing divine essence, and establishing a divine kingdom.

These promotions are essentially inseparable from faith.

But look at the Imaginary Dragon. First, it is inherently unable to absorb faith; second, it cannot ignite divine fire; and third, it is out of the question to establish a divine kingdom. Despite being the most advanced extraordinary life form that controls dreams, it cannot even dream itself.

The Imaginary Dragon gives the impression of having weakened all other abilities in order to ultimately enhance its imaginary manifestation in dreams.

However, going to such extremes weakens those abilities, which do not meet the requirements for becoming a god.

The failure of the Imaginary Dragon's ascension is like a normal Sequence 1 trying to ascend to Sequence 0, where the divine fire is ignited but no divine spark is formed. Naturally, the ascension will fail. Therefore, there are two ways to make the Imaginary Dragon's ascension successful.

The first option is to address the weaknesses, but this will inevitably weaken the extreme advantages of the Imaginary Dragon.

The second approach is to continue to strengthen extreme advantages.

Without hesitation, Rosen chose the second option, using data transmission to bring the Dragon Binding Rope to the Dragon Realm.

The first thing to do upon returning to the Dragon Realm is to use its power to bestow the Dragon Pearl upon the Imaginary Dragon, and then find the part that strengthens the primordial spirit from the incomplete inheritance of the Yinglong, making the Imaginary Dragon's dragon soul even stronger.

As expected, although the Imaginary Dragon is still Sequence 1, its overall strength has been greatly improved.

The Dragon Ball and the Primordial Spirit system are surprisingly well-suited to the fantastical dragon.

Rosen even discovered that the Imaginary Dragon had the connotation of being a child of the Dragon Realm.

Through the constant scrutiny of history and the in-depth exploration of the history of the fantastical dragon race.

Gradually, Rosen figured out the origin of the imaginary dragon.

The ancestors of the dragon race also evolved from primitive humans, and the current dragon race evolved from the ancestors of the dragon race.

However, the imaginary dragon did not originate from the progenitor of the dragon race, but rather from the native life forms of the dragon realm.

At that time, the dragon race occupied the Dragon Realm. Later, some dragon crystals turned into dragon pearls. Gradually, some dragons began to believe that the Dragon Realm was the origin of the dragon race and that they were born to belong to the Dragon Realm.

This unrealistic fantasy of dragons has led to the birth of fantastical dragons in the dragon realm.

However, the original imaginary dragon was only one, and it was a born deity.

Later, this imaginary dragon perished, and its soul collapsed, giving birth to the Imaginary Dragon race.

The fantastical dragon deity that led to the extinction of its race may have inherited the legacy of the progenitor of the fantastical dragons, because the fantastical dragons were born in the dragon realm, born from the dragons' fantasies and beliefs.

Therefore, the imaginary dragon is actually born to be the successor of the dragon realm, and as long as it becomes a true god, it will have the opportunity to inherit the dragon realm.

The reason why several dragon gods spared no expense to wipe out the entire Imaginary Dragon race back then was probably because they discovered this secret.

With the Dragon Balls and the Primordial Spirit, the Imaginary Dragon began its third ascension to godhood.

This time, without any surprises, the Imaginary Dragon easily usurped the Dream Nest and advanced to Sequence 0.

The current Imaginary Dragon can not only perfectly control Matik's dreams, but also control Matik's body through the dreams. The Imaginary Dragon can hide deep within Matik's sea of ​​consciousness and dreams, and then manipulate the body of the Void Dragon God to fight.

Unless the Void Dragon God awakens, it will forever remain a puppet manipulated by the Imaginary Dragon.

After ascending to godhood, the first thing the imaginary dragon did was to try to break free from the control of the dragon-binding rope.

The result was an inevitable failure; he was nearly torn to pieces by Rosen.

The imaginary dragon that nearly died will probably not dare to harbor any rebellious thoughts until it becomes a true god.

After Rosen returned to the Glorious City, he painted a prophetic picture and discovered that many more cultists had appeared in the city.

The newly appointed head of the intelligence agency neither manages nor does anything.

Although this was also a dereliction of duty, as long as he did not collude with the Evil God Church, and as long as the Evil God Church did not launch a large-scale invasion and destruction of the Glorious Kingdom, he would not have been able to destroy the Intelligence Bureau. This shows that the Intelligence Bureau and he had completely broken off relations.

Rosen did not deal with these cultists because the newly emerged ones were all well-behaved.

These cultists dare not cause trouble unless they are absolutely certain of their success.

However, the repeated invasions by cultists made Rosen realize the flaws of the Glorious Kingdom. Its rapid development and continuous influx of foreign populations naturally led to a relaxation of supervision. But if supervision were to be strict, it would certainly be detrimental to the kingdom's development at this stage.

So after careful consideration, Rosen decided to paint the entire glorious continent in one picture.

Then, God's will was incorporated into the painting, giving it the power to monitor the entire Glorious Continent. Since the Intelligence Bureau was inactive, the Kingdom's intelligence department would completely take over the Bureau's responsibilities. Only in this way could all the evil god cultists who entered the Glorious Kingdom have nowhere to hide.
