Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 340 The Slaughter of the Dwarf King and the Kingslayer's Forging Hammer
Chapter 339

In the Dwarf Kingdom, Rosen secretly opened Boya's portal to another dimension.

He had visited the dwarf kingdom once, so of course he would have left spatial coordinates.

Knowing the specific spatial coordinates, with his mastery of the laws of spacetime, and with Boya's spacetime portal, he could easily locate the dwarf kingdom and sneak in. This time, he planned to use a soul substitute to parasitize and replace the Earth Dwarf King.

If you can only parasitize one, then parasitizing the Earth Dwarf King is the most suitable choice.

Although the Ancient God Realm already has tens of millions of dwarves, these dwarves have many problems.

Some simply refused to believe that their earth dwarf king would sacrifice them.

Some believed him, but still refused to listen to him.

If a soul substitute can replace the Earth Dwarf King, those loyal dwarves can be easily subdued.

Moreover, all the remaining dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom can be transferred to the Ancient God Realm.

Not to mention that the Earth Dwarf King can forge extraordinary artifacts of true gods, and by controlling the Earth Dwarf King, the forging hammer containing the power of kingship that has not yet been refined, it is not so difficult to know its specific attributes.

So far, Rosen has had little trouble refining extraordinary artifacts from true gods.

But that forging hammer left him helpless.

This is not to say that the forging hammer surpasses the quality of a true god, but rather that he suspects that only dwarves can use it.

He even suspected that the forging hammer was a miraculous artifact.

If it weren't for the fact that miraculous treasures are eternal and indestructible, it would be hard to understand why the Earth Dwarf King could keep that forging hammer. Unless the forging hammer is completely unusable by races other than dwarves, it would explain why he couldn't refine it.

However, there are also inexplicable aspects to this, because Rosen once transformed into a dwarf to attempt alchemy.

The result was still a failure, which is one of the reasons why he was so eager to control the Earth Dwarf King.

Without that forging hammer, the Earth Dwarf King could no longer maintain control over the power of the kingdom.

Their ability to perceive the outside world is naturally greatly affected.

Rosen gazed at the dwarf capital city being rebuilt from afar, his Hunter's Eye locking onto the Earth Dwarf King.

From God's perspective, he saw the Earth Dwarf King forging something deep inside the volcano.

Judging from the situation, the forging is almost finished. The thing being forged is almost identical to the forging hammer. It seems that they have been trying to forge a replica for a long time. It is unknown how well they can replicate it.

Rosen had originally planned to take action, but now he decided to postpone it until the Earth Dwarf King finished forging.

Forging a divine artifact is no easy task; it consumes a great deal of resources from the Earth Dwarf King.

Once he finishes forging, he will not only obtain a divine artifact, but also take advantage of his weakness to more easily parasitize and replace him.

Rosen stopped moving, disappeared into the mysterious study, and swallowed the Blood and Flesh Secret Fruit to restore the upper limit of his divine origin.

With a time acceleration of a thousand times, the divine essence has already reached the upper limit of Sequence 1 in just half a month.

During this period, the unique abilities generated by the Miracle Sequence reaching Sequence 0 were finally born.

This ability is somewhat special; Rosen can arbitrarily transfer the miracle properties of all the miracle sequences he has mastered.

For example, the miracle ability of the Ancient Bell is Ancient Voice, so he cannot use the Ancient Bell to cast the miracle ability of the Judgment Ring, Sinister Judgment.

But now it's different. He can transfer the sinful judgment of the Judgment Ring to the Ancient Sacred Bell, and then make the sound of the Ancient Sacred Bell have the effect of sinful judgment, changing it from the original judgment thunder to the judgment divine sound of the Ancient Sacred Bell.

Although it can only transfer one miracle trait at most, it is still a qualitative enhancement for the miracle sequence.

Rosen has already completed the Miracle Sequence, the Noble Sequence, and the Painter Sequence.

Only the Hunter sequence remains, and so far, no self-created skills have been mastered.

Because the three self-created skills in the Hunter Sequence all require specific conditions to be met in order to master them.

So we are still in the preparation stage and will master it once we meet the requirements for cultivation.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen has been busy using the Hunter God's Eye to spy on the privacy of the gods.

On this day, the extraordinary artifact forged by the Earth Dwarf King was finally nearing completion.

Rosen also began preparing a trap to capture the Earth Dwarf King.

Rosen sat on the sofa behind the window, and with a thought, he unfolded a corner of his divine domain. The small World Tree also projected down at this time, shrinking to ten meters tall and taking root in the void behind him. Then, it unfolded a spacetime domain.

Rosen reached out and grabbed, and the laws of time and space together formed a spacetime fishing rod.

Then the spacetime realm transformed into a pool of water, and the fishing rod and hook, once swung, fell into the pool and disappeared.

The miraculous skill of Time-Space Fishing allows you to catch prey that has fallen into a time-space trap in different times and spaces.

If the fishing hook reaches the past, its greatest value is to fish out dead lives and thus resurrect the dead.

Alternatively, one could fish for treasure, but the treasure must be unclaimed in the present world.

If the hook of the time-space fishing rod travels to the present instead of the past, then the hook becomes the ultimate means of theft. Even treasures hidden by enemies within their own divine kingdoms could be secretly stolen by time-space fishing.

Finally, the hook travels into the future, and its greatest value is undoubtedly in setting traps.

The trap is set not in the present but in the future, so the prey in the present cannot detect the trap that exists in the future. The moment the trap leaves the future and appears in the present, it traps the prey without giving it any chance to escape.

Rosen is now sending rune traps directly into the future via time-space fishing.

Since it is spacetime, in addition to time, there is naturally space as well.

Therefore, these traps have already appeared in the future timeline of the space surrounding the Earth Dwarf King.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Earth Dwarf King began to extinguish the fire in the Earth's core.

In that instant, rune traps existing in the future appeared out of thin air, generating two rune traps: Time Stop and Space Imprisonment. Moreover, these were multiple superimposed rune traps, which, through the power of the original Sequence 1 rune traps, were amplified to the level of a true god by the laws of nature.

Even a true god who falls into a rune trap will experience a time freeze of at least three breaths.

Don't underestimate those three breaths; even a true god would lose the ability to resist and be attacked unilaterally during those three breaths.

The Earth Dwarf King was able to move only his divine consciousness; all other abilities of movement were completely imprisoned.

Rosen blinked into the rune trap, and the muzzle of the Dragon God's Wrath gun began to fire endlessly, its tip pressed against his brow and sea of ​​consciousness.

After more than a dozen psychic projectiles were fired, the subsequent projectiles entered the sea of ​​consciousness through the breached defenses.

Then, a thousand mental projectiles were fired in a single breath, almost completely destroying the Earth Dwarf King's sea of ​​consciousness. However, the damage to his divine core was ineffective, because there were actually two extraordinary artifacts of true gods guarding the divine core.

The moment the three breaths ended, the Earth Dwarf King, having regained some mobility, descended like a god.

The Earth Dwarf King, now a giant dwarf, was not slowed down by his increased size. He grabbed the newly forged hammer and smashed it down on Rosen with immense gravity, tearing apart the surrounding spatial constraints.

Rosen's spatial-temporal domain blocked the gravitational pressure, and within the domain, the void flickered as he continuously moved around the Earth Dwarf King.

Miracle Aura: A Miracle Aura that transforms all skills into an aura that is applied to bullets.

Using the mannequin's skill, the magic bullets repeatedly immobilized the Earth Dwarf King.

The inescapable curse of the volleyballs continues to deepen the sins of the Earth Dwarf King.

The God-Hunter's Mind Bullet directly burned the divine essence of multiple Sequence 0 Dark Sun Children, thereby gaining true damage against the divine essence.

Fate Marks the Beast, granting all true damage a continuous effect.

Then, the Time Bullet, whenever the Earth Dwarf King casts a skill, reverses or accelerates time, either preventing instant skills from being cast or causing sustained skills that were finally cast to lose their duration due to time acceleration.

Finally, countless chanting bullets, like living things, swirled and danced in the air, painting like brushes.

The multi-dimensional painting enveloping the Earth Dwarf King repeatedly attempted to seal him within its confines due to dimensional collapse. The battle raged for half an hour. The Earth Dwarf King had even been touched by Rosen's shadow, his entire body riddled with wounds from the psychic projectiles. Even the Earth Dwarf King's terrifying regenerative ability—the ability to regenerate blood from the earth—could not completely dispel the wounds caused by the laws of flesh and blood.

So much so that the accumulated injuries all over his body had made it possible to vaguely see the internal organs beneath the last few layers of flesh.

It must be said that the Law of Flesh and Blood is far too restrictive when it comes to restoring powerful flesh and blood life.

However, at this point, Rosen gradually slowed down his offensive.

Each bullet is a skill. If he hadn't mastered the fundamental laws, no one could have lasted this long by unleashing skills so frantically. He can continue for a long time by relying on the fundamental laws, but he can't let the Earth Dwarf King see this.

Because the Earth Dwarf King is not only a being of flesh and blood, but also a being of rock.

However, flesh and blood are more suitable for the growth of dwarven blood, so they will not enter the rock form unless they are forced into a desperate situation.

Because the rock form has a fatal weakness: it reduces intelligence.

The most crucial change in the evolution of the Earth Dwarfs into the Earth Dwarf Kings is the acquisition of a flesh-and-blood form and the resulting increase in intelligence.

If the Earth Dwarf King is forced to regress into a rock form, his defensive capabilities and vitality will increase at least several times over.

If we try to hunt them then, it will be more than ten times more difficult than it is now.

The most terrifying thing about the Earth Dwarf King is his defense and vitality; his damage output is at most at the level of a forbidden god.

Unable to kill the Earth Dwarf King quickly, Rosen's plan was to slowly boil the frog in water.

Forging a divine artifact already consumes a great deal of divine power, and prolonged fighting further depletes that power. When the consumption exceeds the rate of recovery, the Earth Dwarf King will become increasingly weak.

Now that Rosen has mastered the fundamental laws, he is least afraid of engaging in attrition warfare with others.

After a short while, Rosen, unable to seriously injure the Earth Dwarf King, began to retreat, feigning exhaustion.

The Earth Dwarf King pursued relentlessly, having already figured out the enemy's tactics from the last time.

By using some kind of forced contract, he will suffer the backlash of the contract.

He had finally managed to completely eliminate the remnants of the contract, and even took out a large number of extraordinary artifacts from the treasure vault that could weaken the power of the contract. It was no longer possible for this Sequence 1 human to use the contract to backfire and trick him.

This is the best chance to deal with this human; missing this opportunity might mean losing the Kingslayer Forging Hammer forever.

Rosen teleported ahead, fleeing, while the Earth Dwarf King chased after him relentlessly, wielding his forging hammer like he was whacking a mole.

Wherever he went, mountains crumbled and everything was destroyed. There was no time to interrupt the Earth Dwarf King's skill release. The Earth Dwarf King, enraged and in a berserk state, trampled the earth's core with every step he took during the pursuit.

Terrifying gravitational collapses continue to occur beneath Rosen, and lava erupting from the Earth's core blocks the way.

Every now and then, a lightning hammer, like a black hole, would fly from behind and tear him apart.

If it weren't for mastering the laws of space and time, and having an extremely high priority for the Void Blink skill, they would have been hammered to death by the Earth Dwarf King long ago. The two sides chased and fled, occasionally counterattacking, until finally they fought their way out of the spirit realm where the dwarf kingdom was located and into the underground world.

Then the Earth Dwarf King was in his element, and wherever he went, the underground world collapsed and nearly buried Rosen alive time and time again.

This is why the Dwarf Kingdom is located near the edge of the main world; otherwise, it would have already alarmed the true gods of the major civilizations in the underworld.

After several more days of battle royale, Rosen finally stopped.

At this moment, he appeared to be unharmed, but he gave the impression of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

The Earth Dwarf King's physical injuries have all healed, but his divine power is less than 30% remaining.

At this point, the Earth Dwarf King was already considering retreating. The humans he was chasing had suffered heavy losses, but he himself was also severely depleted. Even if he killed this terrifying human Sequence 1, he was worried that he would be taken advantage of by some true gods of the underground civilization.

Just as the Earth Dwarf King gave up the pursuit and prepared to retreat, Rosen knew that the final battle was about to begin.

He immediately stopped pretending. The laws of flesh and blood and the laws of time completely healed his injuries, and the laws of origin kept his divine power at over 90% of its peak. The bronze dragon avatar that had been staying in the mysterious study had also set up a massive number of rune traps through spacetime fishing in the past few days.

Thanks to the Prediction Painting, Rosen already knew that the final battle would take place here.

Therefore, the rune traps set up by the Time-Space Fishing were always placed around the area.

As the Earth Dwarf King turned to leave, he suddenly saw thousands of time traps stacked beneath his feet. All of these time traps were time-stopping devices, enough to imprison the severely weakened Earth Dwarf King for at least a minute.

Rosen activated his ancient god form and transformed into a giant, and the Dragon God's Wrath also grew in size due to the Weapon Master skill.

The extraordinary bullet fired from the gun left a huge wound after hitting the Earth Dwarf King.

However, starting from the wound, the surrounding flesh began to fester and rot wildly.

Rosen used the Origin Star Core to seal the divine essence of the Light Angel God, the sequence of doctors at the God level, and combined the laws of flesh and blood to create a terrifying virus specifically targeting flesh and blood life. These viruses, designed for dwarves, were enough to completely decompose the flesh and blood body of the Earth Dwarf King within a minute.

At the same time, the Ancient Sacred Bell, which incorporated the Miracle property of Sinful Judgment, began to shake.

The divine sound of judgment directly attacked the consciousness of the Earth Dwarf King. The sound waves, enhanced by the Great Sound of the Dragon, combined with the power of the Sinful Judgment, directly destroyed the Earth Dwarf King's consciousness, leaving only his divine essence protected by the extraordinary artifact of the True God.

As the minute drew to a close, the flesh virus decomposed the Earth Dwarf King's body, leaving only his rocky heart.

Godhood and a rocky heart—both are the true weaknesses of the Earth Dwarf King.

Rosen used his last moments to open the Royal Treasury and suppress the heart of the Earth Dwarf King.

Then, exercising the will of kingship, and coordinating with the continuous divine judgment, he continued to attack the divinity.

The time freeze ended, and the Earth Dwarf King, manipulating two extraordinary artifacts, desperately tried to escape.

One of these extraordinary artifacts even distorted gravity to create a gravity wormhole in an attempt to send away the god.

The Earth Dwarf King succeeded, sacrificing two extraordinary artifacts of the true gods to block all of Rosen's attacks and send away the godhood. However, after the godhood passed through the gravity wormhole, what awaited him was a new runic trap and a fishhook falling from the void.

Rosen had already learned all the details of the battle in advance through the Prediction Painting.

Where the Earth Dwarf King would chase him, when he would retaliate, and when he would use his last means to send away the godhood—all of these had already been successfully foreseen by the Fate-Predicting Painting. Therefore, the Time-Space Fishing, waiting patiently, had already captured the godhood that had finally managed to escape.

In the mysterious study, Rosen used the Origin Star Core to seal the divine essence of the Earth Dwarf King.

Only then did he release the soul substitute, forcibly parasitizing and replacing the soul and divine essence of the Earth Dwarf King.

Unbeknownst to many, the Earth Dwarf King had died completely, but his demise did not result in the creation of any miraculous treasures.

Rosen took out the rock heart that had been suppressed in the Royal Treasury. His divinity regained control of the heart, and soon a completely new dwarven body was generated based on it. The fully resurrected Earth Dwarf King looked at Rosen with hatred, hesitating whether to make a move.

Clearly, after being replaced by the parasite, the Earth Dwarf King was unaware that he was already dead.

In the blink of an eye, Rosen's soul substitute took over the reins.

All hatred of the Earth Dwarf King vanished, and his divine consciousness was suppressed, becoming an avatar under his absolute control.

The most powerful aspect of this clone is that before the soul substitute is awakened, the Earth Dwarf King himself is unaware that he is dead, unaware that he is being manipulated, and he does not have the weakness of a soul parasite beast, nor does he lose his civilizational fortune simply because he has been replaced.

Even if a great true god were to examine the earth's dwarf king now, he wouldn't be able to tell that this is a puppet whose soul has been parasitized and replaced.

With the help of the Earth Dwarf King, Rosen finally learned the true nature of the unforgeable hammer.

That is a miraculous treasure exclusive to the Earth Dwarves; only the Earth Dwarves can wield it.

Rosen's true form as an ancient god can transform into a dwarf, but not into an earth dwarf. This is because, although earth dwarves were born from dwarves, they are not ordinary flesh-and-blood beings and have no direct blood relation to primitive humans. They can be considered one of the few native species in the main world.

The True God Miracle Treasure, the Kingslayer Forging Hammer, has a base attribute that can enhance all dwarf forging and enchanting skills tenfold.

Then there are three wonder traits, which allow one to rule the dwarves, wield royal power, and manipulate the destiny of the dwarven civilization.

This is absolutely the most top-tier true god's miracle treasure, but it has a negative effect: using the Kingslayer Forging Hammer requires sacrificing dwarves as offerings, and the stronger the power unleashed, the more dwarves need to be sacrificed afterwards.

So when the Earth Dwarf King destroyed the Dwarf City, he was actually using all the dwarves as sacrifices.

Otherwise, the damage transfer caused by the equivalent contract wouldn't have been enough to severely injure the Earth Dwarf King, who was covered in divine and extraordinary artifacts.
