Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 325 Sequence 1: The Bizarre War Between the Nobles and the Main World

Chapter 324

"Congratulations on your win..."

The Infernal Blood Dragon instantly teleported in front of Rosen, blocking the resurrected legion under his command.

Eliminating some pure-blooded dragons can stimulate the remaining pure-blooded dragons, making them realize the cost of weakness and changing the complacency that the dragons have gradually developed over the years while hiding in the dragon realm.

Therefore, the previous losses are still acceptable to Purgatory Blood Dragon.

However, if this continued, the Blood Dragon of Purgatory would find it unacceptable.

Although he could see that Yinglong Dragon God's resurrection of tens of thousands of demigods was not without cost, the resurrected tens of thousands of demigods at full health, plus the flesh and blood curse formed by the flesh and blood of hundreds of millions of dragon beasts, would probably not be able to distinguish life and death without filling in tens of thousands of pure-blooded dragons.

The losses have exceeded the limits of what can be tolerated, and the Infernal Blood Dragon does not want to continue to suffer losses.

Ultimately, the Dragon Realm's territory is not important to them.

For the Dragon God, regular territories and the resources within them are no longer of much use.

The civilization and fortune of the dragon race, the strength and weakness of the dragon realm—these are the things that the Dragon God should value, because only these can make a true god even stronger and allow a true god to compete for more resources at the true god level in the main world.

If Yinglong Dragon God really needs it, Purgatory Blood Dragon wouldn't mind if he occupied one-third of the Dragon Realm.

However, Yinglong Dragon God is not a true god yet. He brought in the Mother of Flesh and Blood first, and then brought in a group of forbidden gods of the human race to force them to make concessions. These actions made Purgatory Blood Dragon very unhappy, so he wanted to teach Yinglong Dragon God a lesson.

It turned out that I had underestimated him; it was surprising that Sequence 1 could achieve such a level.

The Blood Dragon of Purgatory is not only not angry, but even somewhat admires the Dragon God Yinglong.

Because once such monsters grow up, the dragon race will inevitably be one step closer to regaining its greatness.

The Blood Dragon of Purgatory was not worried about Yinglong Dragon God betraying the Dragon Clan, because he held a share of the Dragon God's authority. The destruction of the Dragon Clan would not benefit him at all; only madmen and fools would do things that bring no benefit.

Regardless of how the Purgatory Blood Dragon views it, Yinglong Dragon God is not associated with madness or foolishness.

With the active cooperation of the two dragon gods, Rosen occupied one-third of the Dragon Realm.

All dragons within this range, whether pure-blooded or dragon beasts, must obey his commands. Even pure-blooded giant dragons can be disposed of at will if they disobey. The dragon race adheres to the law of the jungle, and if they do not want their lives to be controlled by others, they should strive to climb higher.

After Rosen took control of the territory, the first thing he did was to return to the Dragon Realm.

To achieve a perfect promotion to the new Rank 1 Noble, a total of five conditions must be met.

First, a large-scale war must be launched and victory secured, during which sufficient spiritual power and authority over the war must be gathered.

Then it would require occupying a large area of ​​land, conservatively estimated to be no smaller than the size of an empire.

Next, it is necessary to completely rule the occupied territory and establish laws that all intelligent life within the territory must strictly abide by.

The fourth condition is that all life within the territory must be taxed.

The final condition is to forge an extraordinary artifact that embodies royal power.

In this respect, either the Holy Sword or the Crown of the Holy Grail can embody royal power. However, the card "King of the Holy Grail" contains too many mysteries. Before fully understanding the true nature of the King of the Holy Grail, he does not intend to leave any hidden dangers for his noble lineage.

The spirituality that contains the authority of war will naturally arise when there are heavy casualties on the battlefield.

Rosen had drawn several spiritual paintings of the extraordinary artifact, the Heart of War, in advance. With the help of the extraordinary power of the Heart of War that he had copied, he successfully collected a large amount of spiritual energy containing the authority of war on the Dragon God battlefield.

Then the occupied territories far exceeded the scope of the empire, and it was more troublesome to formulate laws to completely rule the occupied territories.

To this end, Rosen had to use the Miracle Skill Royal Kingdom to transform the occupied territory into a temporary divine kingdom, and then use the Miracle Trait Royal Decree to force all intelligent life within the territory to abide by the laws he had set.

However, although the law was enacted, there was no section on taxation in the legal provisions.

Because the forced taxation is related to the path after advancing to the first rank of nobility.

If taxes are levied in small amounts, this force will be relatively weak.

If taxes are too high, it will inevitably lead to fierce resistance.

Therefore, one cannot enact relevant laws to constrain oneself; one must enforce the levy of taxes until the relevant laws are re-enacted.

Rosen began sending his troops to collect taxes from the outskirts of his territory.

His taxation is 100%, which means that no intelligent life in the territory can keep even a single unit of spiritual crystal. All wealth will be forcibly taxed, which is unacceptable to a dragon that values ​​money above all else.

Therefore, resistance is inevitable, but resistance is also futile.

Because the one in charge of collecting taxes is an imaginary dragon, and an imaginary dragon that wields a dragon-binding rope.

Over the course of several years, all the dragons in Rosen's territory became penniless. Even rats would feel pity and shed tears if they came to their respective dragon nests. Many pure-blooded dragons suffered from severe depression as a result.

During this time, some pure-blooded dragons did try to escape, but Rosen used his Dragon God authority to seal off the territory in advance.

With the forced taxation over, Rosen began creating extraordinary artifacts that would embody the authority of the monarchy.

He only had a superficial understanding of the proper methods for creating extraordinary artifacts.

However, he is a painter, and he can directly paint an extraordinary object.

Rosen materialized God's Palette with his telekinesis, and with the help of the miraculous skill God's Paint, he began to send all the wealth plundered through forced taxation into God's Palette, along with the spiritual power containing the authority of war.

Then there are the fragments of the divine essence of the wise dragon god, and the divine essence formed from the extraordinary source matter of the gatekeeper noble sequence.

These extremely precious raw materials are transformed together into the colorful pigments of God.

Rosen took out the divine brush, which had been enhanced to Sequence 2 by incorporating the heartwood of the ancient tree into the painting sequence, and began to dip it in God's paint. He then began to draw a three-dimensional royal scepter in the void, stroke by stroke, and then endowed the scepter with various powers using the skills of an artist.

Even with a hundred times the speed-up, the scepter that Rosen drew would still be useful for twenty years in reality.

It did not enter the time-space world because the creation of the scepter required it to be located in this land that he had conquered.

As the final stroke of the brush was completed, Rosen began the final preparation of the potion.

After opening the potion bottle, Rosen immediately threw in the golden scepter he had drawn, followed by the ancient god sequence extraordinary bloodline and noble sequence extraordinary essence extracted from his own body, and finally the flame of civilization of the glorious kingdom and various auxiliary materials.

All the auxiliary materials are symbols of royal power held by different kings throughout history.

Now that the main and auxiliary ingredients are all gathered, the potion bottle begins to prepare the Noble Potion of Sequence 1 according to the potion recipe.

In a short while, the potion bottle spat out a dazzling golden bead.

Rosen grabbed the golden bead and swallowed it in one gulp. The power of the potion instantly permeated his entire body, reconstructing a brand new noble sequence of extraordinary essence within him. Within the extraordinary essence, he constructed the professional authority of noble sequence 1, and finally, he used the professional authority to construct his own extraordinary artifact.

[War of Kings: Noble Rank 1 Class Abilities]

[Attribute: You have mastered the war power of royalty and obtained the exclusive extraordinary artifact, the Golden Scepter]

Rosen carefully perceived the changes within himself, and the first thing he understood was the power of war.

After gaining control of the war kingship, he was able to truly exert a portion of the power of royal and divine authority.

Firstly, as king, he gains the combat power boost from all his subjects. In the past, this boost was limited to the divine realm, but now it extends to all the territories under the Glorious Kingdom's rule. Even a true god would find it difficult to defeat him in the Glorious Kingdom.

Then he can initiate wars, ignoring all enemy buffs during the war.

For example, if he launches a war against a true god, he can accurately lock onto that true god and directly invade the true god's divine kingdom. The true god's combat power was originally greatly enhanced by the divine kingdom's blessing within the divine kingdom, but the war kingship can offset the true god's divine kingdom's enhancement of the true god's combat power.

Even more terrifying is that, when combined with the Royal Kingdom skill, it can temporarily transform the true god's kingdom into one's own Royal Kingdom.

Although the Royal Kingdom of the Past could transform Rosen's foothold into the Royal Kingdom of the Past, this effect was limited to the area covered by its own domain. Outside of this area, the Royal Kingdom of the Past was ineffective; essentially, it was just a particularly powerful special domain skill.

However, now, in conjunction with the War Kingdom, any area that the War Kingdom considers a battlefield can be transformed into a divine kingdom.

Rosen summoned his exclusive extraordinary artifact, the Golden Scepter, and he already knew its attributes without even looking at it.

[Golden Scepter: An extraordinary artifact exclusive to the nobility]

[Level: Sequence 1]

[Attribute: The Golden Scepter can double the power of all ranks within the Noble Rank.]

Characteristics of Royal Power: Royal Wisdom, Royal Declaration of War, Royal Law, Royal Taxation

The benefits of boosting basic attributes are obvious, but the real power of the Golden Scepter lies in its four royal attributes.

The wisdom of the king allows Rosen to gain access to the combined wisdom of all his vassals.

Rosen can now bypass the World Government and directly bestow titles upon nobles. Although these nobles are nothing outside the Glorious Kingdom, the power they receive within the Glorious Kingdom is no less than that of a God Realm Lord.

The more nobles who are enfeoffed, the more intelligent these nobles are, and the greater the power of royal wisdom becomes.

A royal declaration of war can perfectly unleash the power of war. As long as the enemy is targeted and a royal declaration of war is issued, if the enemy takes the initiative to fight, that's fine. But if the enemy tries to escape, then their own destiny will be suppressed by the flames of civilization of the glorious kingdom.

Unless you want to be the unluckiest person, there is no way out when facing a declaration of war against the monarchy.

Then there are the royal laws, any laws, whether reasonable or unreasonable, can be permanently established in the glorious kingdom.

Of course, this ability is not without limits. It is not difficult to set a Sequence 2 to die instantly upon entering the Glorious Kingdom, but it is absolutely impossible for a god to die instantly upon entering the Glorious Kingdom. In the end, the law restrains the weak, not the strong.

Weakening some of the enemy's strength is already the limit of the current state of royal law.

Finally, the royal power to levy taxes is, strictly speaking, the most powerful characteristic of the Golden Scepter.

No matter what kind of extraordinary life form it is, it must pay taxes as soon as it sets foot in the glorious kingdom.

This tax is not limited to wealth, but also includes wisdom, lifespan, memory, spirituality and everything else. Reasonable taxation within the scope of the law has no cost, but mandatory taxation outside the scope of the law requires the consumption of the civilization's vitality.

Of course, this consumption is not permanent; it only lowers the lower limit, not the upper limit.

As long as the glorious kingdom is strong enough, the depleted civilizational fortune will not be difficult to recover.

Rosen sensed the intensity of the flame of civilization. If the Sun Dragon God were to set foot in the Glorious Kingdom at this moment, he could launch a forced taxation to seize the Sun Dragon God's true divine artifacts, or even seize at least one-third of the Sun Dragon God's divine power.

He is only Sequence 1, and his understanding of the laws of kingship is incomplete.

Even so, it can still have such a great impact on the true god. No wonder those ancient kings possessed the terrifying power to conquer the true god. He has now reproduced some of the power of the ancient kings who mastered the laws of kingship.

Rosen finally sensed the divine origin, and its maximum strength had reached 105.

Moreover, it brought about a qualitative change, which also led to a qualitative change in his divine territory. Although the influence of the noble sequence has spread from the divine territory to the entire glorious kingdom, the same ability can be amplified at least twice in the divine territory.

Once the transformation of the divine realm is complete, the Ten Directions Annihilation of Sequence 1 will be able to instantly kill a true god.

Rosen doesn't plan to use this trump card lightly; now he'll see which true god will foolishly cause him trouble in the future.

Having clarified the changes brought about by the noble hierarchy, Rosen began to bestow noble titles upon the Dragon Realm.

First, there were the pets and heroes under his command, and then the highly intelligent pure-blooded dragons, especially the intelligent dragons. Regardless of their level, they were all appointed as duke-level dragon lords, which caused the increase in royal power and wisdom to increase many times over.

The forced taxation had already caused widespread resentment among the pure-blooded dragons within the territory.

Now that they have become dragon lords, they have all been blessed by the glorious civilization of the kingdom, and have all mastered the initial Sequence 9 noble sequence. They can transform their dragon nests into divine territories and advance their noble sequence to become stronger.

While wealth is important, improving one's strength is fundamental.

The more than three million pure-blooded dragons who were originally full of complaints no longer dared to say anything openly, because in order to hand over all their wealth and gain control of the World Government's unique noble sequence, this was definitely not a bad deal in the eyes of many alien superhumans.

Rosen reluctantly left the Dragon Realm, barely managing to refrain from hunting the Sun Dragon God and the Infernal Blood Dragon.

With the War King's power and the Golden Scepter, plus the seven forbidden gods, it wouldn't be difficult to kill the two dragon gods once they were lured into the territory, given the Dragon Binding Rope's restraint. However, the chances of capturing them alive are uncertain.

Therefore, it is best to wait until Sequence 1 is perfected and Sequence 0 is promoted before taking over the entire Dragon Realm.

The perennial closure of the entire Dragon Realm has actually attracted considerable attention from the true gods of various races in the main world.

The sealing off of the Dragon Realm was Rosen's request. After he left the Dragon Realm, the Infernal Blood Dragon quickly lifted the seal on the Dragon Realm.

Because resources cannot circulate for a long time, it is also very difficult for the Dragon Realm.

New spies soon appeared within the dragon race, and the mysterious Yinglong Dragon God also came into the sight of the true gods of various races.

The World Government was furious, especially since Yinglong Dragon God had the ability to change to a noble class.

Almost on the same day the news was confirmed to be true, the World Government declared war on the Dragons.

However, before the Sun Dragon God and the Purgatory Blood Dragon could respond, the Abyss World had already declared war on the World Government, and almost all the alien races around the human world followed suit and declared war on the World Government one after another.

Rosen never imagined that the dragons' control of the noble hierarchy would become the trigger for a full-scale war in the main world.

When he found the Blood Dragon of Purgatory and asked him why, the Blood Dragon of Purgatory also knew nothing about it.

It's just speculation that it's related to royal authority, because back then, the true gods of various races suppressed royal authority, and the dragon race was excluded by the true gods of various races. The Purgatory Blood Dragon doesn't know much about what exactly happened back then, but the Holy Light Dragon God definitely knows the truth.

Rosen knew very well that the Purgatory Blood Dragon wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Holy Light Dragon God.

He wasn't planning to kill the Holy Light Dragon God for the time being, because with the Dragon Binding Rope, these dragon gods would eventually be unable to escape his grasp.

Killing the Holy Light Dragon God now would be a huge waste.

So Rosen turned to the God of Pentacles and asked why the emergence of a noble hierarchy among the dragons would become the trigger for a total war.

However, the God of Pentacles did not give him the answer; instead, he warned him to behave himself and not to court disaster.

Through the five networks, Rosen discovered that all the true gods of the World Government had been mobilized, but they could only barely maintain a situation where they won more than they lost. In this sudden all-out war, the total number of true gods mobilized by various races exceeded fifty.

If the World Government's true god hadn't been significantly stronger than the alien true gods, they would probably have suffered a complete defeat by now.

On the surface, the world government is in a very bad situation.

However, Rosen knew very well that the World Government was not so simple. The establishment of the World Government was accompanied by the sealing of the will of the main world, and there was more than one great true god involved behind the scenes. It would not be so easy for the true gods of various races to overthrow the World Government.

According to Rosen's assessment, this was more like a test by the various true gods seizing some opportunity.

As expected, his judgment was correct; the total war lasted less than three months from start to finish.

How it ended is unknown; it started suddenly and ended suddenly.

Rosen had expected the World Government to attack the Dragon Realm, but to his surprise, the World Government did not launch an attack. Instead, it severed all overt and covert transactions with the Dragon Realm, and the various races of the main world suddenly fell into a strange post-war calm.

Rosen was already prepared to temporarily abandon the Dragon Realm territory and make Yinglong, the Dragon God, disappear.

The sudden calm in the main world made him feel uneasy.

This made Rosen even more eager to improve his skills and prepare to complete the promotion to Painter Sequence 1 as soon as possible.

Among the extraordinary sequences they possess, the Noble sequence is the most troublesome, the Hunter sequence is also troublesome to refine the World Tree, and only the Painter sequence is the simplest, which can complete the advancement in a short time and obtain stronger power.

So after making all the preparations, Rosen prepared to go to the birthplace of the painter sequence in the main world to advance to sequence 1.
