Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 348 Dark Sun Slime and the Hunter's Mind
Chapter 347

In a corner of the endless darkness-shrouded underground world, a magnificent lighthouse stands rooted on the ground, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Because of the Golden Sun Wheel, a relic of the Golden Crow, the power of the Brilliant Lighthouse was amplified several times over.

If the emitted light were concentrated, even the Dark Sun Child of Sequence 0 would not dare to approach.

However, the children of the Dark Sun will be attracted by the light, eventually leading to a situation where more and more children of the Dark Sun gather, then fight each other to form Dark Sun nests. This is the biggest threat faced by the various dynasties in the underworld.

Therefore, whenever any of the Sons of the Dark Sun approach the territory of the Celestial Empire, the true gods of the Celestial Empire must hunt them down immediately.

At the same time, in order to prevent the sunlight covering the territory of the Celestial Empire from attracting too many Dark Sun Children to form Dark Sun Nests, it is also necessary to build city walls covering the entire country at the edge of the territory. The formations arranged based on the city walls can not only resist the Dark Sun's followers, but also block the sunlight to reduce its attraction to the Dark Sun Children.

Rosen's divine realm did not have such walls, nor did he intend to block out the sunlight.

What he wants is for the Radiant Beacon to attract the Sons of the Dark Sun, and then to hunt down these prey that come to him.

The Dragon God's Wrath transformed into a sniper rifle, and the Hunter's Map appeared in Rosen's consciousness.

[Hunter's Map: Miracle Treasure]

[Level: True God]

[Miracle Attribute: Able to mark all life forms as friend or foe within the range of perception]

[Miracle Traits: Hunter, Unique in the World, Eternal]

Because of the Dragon-Tiger Emperor's divine position, Rosen refined this miraculous treasure ahead of schedule.

The Hunter Map can generate a mini-map similar to a game in his sea of ​​consciousness. The diameter of this mini-map is related to the upper limit of his divinity strength. His current divinity strength has been amplified to 126 by the Ancient God's Sacrifice Artifact, so the mini-map covers a radius of 126 kilometers.

All life forms within this area will be marked on the minimap to distinguish between friend and foe.

Once the hostile relationship is established, the hostile prey is still a person.

Hunting this human will earn you Hunter Points. As long as you have enough Hunter Points, you can exchange them for the abilities of any human marked on the Hunter Map who died at your hands.

Therefore, the Hunter's Map is the nemesis of humanity, a terrifying miracle treasure that allows for cannibalistic growth.

Although Rosen's humanity diminishes as his strength increases, he still cannot bring himself to slaughter ordinary people.

So from the moment he obtained the Hunter Map, he began plotting how to change the Hunter Map's concept of human cognition.

As time goes by and life evolves, the concept of humanity has been defined differently in different periods.

In the very beginning of the Old World, only primitive humans would have been qualified to call themselves humans.

Other life forms are not worthy of being called human beings.

In the new world, the main human race that makes up the world government is humanity.

If one day the world government's humanity declines, and the angels replace humanity as the dominant race, and then the angels suddenly abandon the title of angel and start calling themselves humans, then over time the angels of that time will be the true humans.

If the already declining human race were named dog-headed by the angels, then the human race would be called dog-headed.

The act of calling a deer a horse will become the truth when enough people agree with it and when those people are powerful enough.

In the history of Earth, Zhao Gao called a deer a horse. If Zhao Gao had the ability to change historical documents and public perception, then it wouldn't be a problem for the names of deer and horses to be completely reversed in later generations, let alone the definition of species in the extraordinary world.

Rosen doesn't want to hunt ordinary people because of the Hunter Map, so he has to be able to call a deer a horse.

To call a deer a horse in the truest sense is something even the greatest God would find difficult to do.

It would take a dominant civilization tens of thousands of years of effort to truly make other alien races become human.

So initially, Rosen planned to switch to the Fraud Hunter, a special branch of the Hunter class.

This branch of hunters possesses an ability called True Deception.

If this ability is used to deceive a sheep and make it believe it is human, then the sheep can actually become human, thus fulfilling the hunter's map's requirement for hunting humans.

However, fraud hunters can only deceive the weak, and they cannot deceive many prey at the same time.

While it's usable to use the Hunter map, it's difficult to realize its true value.

Therefore, when Rosen created his own Hunter Sequence Skills, he created a Contract Hunter Skills System that was more suitable than the Deception Hunter.

Now, all that's left is for him to complete the final skill. Once he's done, he'll be able to call a deer a horse and treat all life forms related to humans by blood as human beings. At that point, he'll be able to successfully unlock the cannibalistic cheat code and become a true god and a great true god in no time.

"Hunting Contract: Select the prey, the Son of the Dark Sun."

Rosen activated the Hunting Contract, and Dragon God's Wrath began aiming and shooting at the Dark Sun Child who was approaching the Glorious Lighthouse.

The extraordinary bullets formed from the laws of holy light can inflict terrifying real damage on the Sons of the Dark Sun.

Furthermore, the laws of time and holy light allow Dragon God's Wrath to fire bullets at a rate of nine shots per second.

Going faster isn't necessarily a bad idea; either reduce the Holy Light Divinity compressed by the Holy Light Bullet, or use a physical, extraordinary bullet.

Without considering resource consumption, there is no upper limit to the maximum firing rate of Dragon God's Wrath.

Considering the overall cost-effectiveness, a burst of nine shots per second is enough to kill a Sequence 0 Dark Sun Child in just a few seconds.

More often than not, Rosen waited for the Sons of the Dark Sun to be drawn to the Radiant Beacon.

As the Sons of the Dark Sun continued to be shot down, the overall growth effect brought by the Hunting Contract was as good as expected.

Rosen can absorb the life essence of the Dark Sun Children to strengthen his own life force, absorb the divine essence to strengthen his divinity, and absorb souls to strengthen his soul. Except for not being able to absorb authority and laws, the Hunting Contract is almost equivalent to a weakened Hunter Map.

Although in terms of hunting rewards, hunting contracts are definitely not as good as hunter maps.

However, the hunting contract is not limited to humans, and Rosen cannot only hunt humans. Sooner or later, he will encounter life forms that have no blood relation to humans, such as the World Tree and Dark Sun, which are obviously not related to humans by blood.

Therefore, the Hunting Contract essentially makes up for the weakness of the cannibalistic approach, transforming it from a simple cannibalistic approach into a survival-of-the-fittest approach.

The various primal energies plundered by the hunting contract, which Rosen couldn't absorb, were transferred to his pets.

As a result, the pets he contracted underwent a qualitative change at the source level, and were now comparable to those in the Forbidden Sequence.

Rosen has gone completely mad with killing; in just six months, nearly a thousand Sons of the Sun have fallen to his gun.

After hunting down the thousandth Son of the Dark Sun that day, he suddenly felt an abnormal change occurring within himself.

Rosen tore open his clothes and looked at his chest, where a dark sun brand had appeared.

His first reaction was that he was doomed; his arrogance had attracted the attention of Dark Sun.

But he soon discovered that this dark sun mark was only beneficial to him and had no drawbacks.

This dark sun mark did not corrupt him in the slightest; on the contrary, it endowed him with a very special ability.

He can command the Sons of the Dark Sun, and the number he can command depends on the strength of his own divinity.

Rosen used his Apocalyptic Eye to peer into so many great true gods and gods, and never found the Dark Sun Mark on them.

Either the Dark Sun has its eye on him, or he has met the special conditions to obtain the Dark Sun's mark.

For example, within a certain time period, kill a thousand Dark Sun Children in succession.

Those true gods who attained godhood through divine positions simply did not have the ability to hunt down a thousand Sons of the Dark Sun in succession.

The Great True God does have the power, but the Great True God wouldn't hunt down the Sons of the Dark Sun without a reason.

Because the Dark Sun Child has very low utility value, apart from being able to refine the Immortal Ruins Divine Pill, its other uses are more than enough to fill ten fingers.

Because no one was hunting the Sons of the Dark Sun, no one discovered the existence of the Dark Sun Mark in the past?
Although for the time being, the Dark Sun Mark only has advantages and no disadvantages, who dares to be careless about anything related to the Dark Sun?

Rosen immediately began trying to peel off the Dark Sun Mark. He had thought it would be persistent, but it came off easily. After some attempts, he discovered that the Dark Sun Mark could be freely integrated into any living being.

Rosen summoned a metal slime and merged the Dark Sun Mark into the Nightmare Slime.

They have unlimited resources and the laws of time and space, which accelerate time.

Over the years, his close friends and pets have all been promoted to Rank 1.

Nightmare slimes are no exception, but Sequence 1 is basically the upper limit for Nightmare slimes. This is because Nightmare slimes only grow taller but not smarter. Even at Sequence 1, they are still stupid and have no chance of igniting divine fire, condensing divine essence, and establishing a divine kingdom on their own.

If one doesn't follow the normal divine path, the only way to become Sequence 0 is through external forces.

However, those who achieve Sequence 0 with such accomplishments are all mediocre, and even the Son of the Dark Sun is inferior to a true god.

Furthermore, the attainment of divine positions and deities consumes lifespan; the Son of the Dark Sun directly sacrificed his mind. All power gained through illegitimate means requires paying a price for every amount gained.

So Rosen is already preparing to wait for the opportunity to learn about the contract with the Nightmare Slime and get a different pet.

But now, it seems he's changing his mind.

Having successfully fused with the Dark Sun Mark, the Nightmare Slime can now command hundreds of Dark Sun Children simultaneously.

Rosen continued his search for the Son of the Dark Sun, and another six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the newly born Dark Sun Mark, he tried to transfer it to the Nightmare Slime again.

The moment the two dark sun imprints touched, they began to merge.

However, it hasn't evolved yet; it needs more Dark Sun Imprints to fuse and evolve.

Nearly seven years later, Rosen has successfully earned his fifteenth Dark Sun Mark.

He casually transferred it to the Nightmare Slime, then prepared to continue searching for the Son of the Dark Sun.

Now, almost all the Dark Sun Children near the Universal Holy Court have been wiped out by him.

However, at this moment, the Dark Sun Mark on the Nightmare Slime began to change.

With a full fifteen Dark Sun Marks, it seems the conditions for evolution have finally been met.

Originally a Sequence 1 Nightmare Slime, with the evolution of the Dark Sun Mark, it grew to Sequence 0 in a short time. Moreover, the extraordinary bloodline within its body gathered and compressed, and finally merged into the Dark Sun Mark to generate an unprecedented godhood.

Dark Sun Slime: Eternal Familiar

[Level: Sequence 0]

[Sequence: Dark Sun]

[Divinity: Bloodline Divinity (150)]

[Talents: Dark Sun Brand, Eternal Shapeshifting]

[Skill: Infinite Gluttony]

If the pet contract hadn't been still in effect, Rosen wouldn't have believed that the giant creature before him was a Nightmare Slime.

The successfully evolved Dark Sun Slime looks like a black water sphere.

Although they have big, watery eyes, if they are thousands of meters tall, they won't look cute at all.

Through the Ancient God's Shackles, Rosen carefully sensed the state of the Dark Sun Slime.

Still no brain. It seems that slimes are life forms that simply can't grow brains.

This is not surprising, though. Since the body is made of liquid, it doesn't have a brain. The only thing that could potentially increase intelligence is the soul and spirituality, but it doesn't seem to have contributed anything to the intelligence level. However, since the Dark Sun Slime really does have intelligence, Rosen is actually worried.

The Dark Sun Slime is now so powerful that even Rosen is wary of it.

Perhaps due to the influence of his own pet, the Apocalypse Eye can easily identify a lot of information that is beyond human comprehension.
Bloodline divinity is a material divinity that is created by the fusion of extraordinary bloodline and spirituality.

In the normal sense, deities are all composed of spiritual beliefs and generally tend towards the spiritual.

If ordinary deities continue to develop, they will eventually give rise to the will of a true god and the will of immortality.

Bloodline Godhood, upon advancing to True Godhood, will give birth to True Blood.

Rosen immediately thought of the ancient god's true blood; perhaps the ancient god possessed the bloodline divine essence.

He is now in the Forbidden Sequence, and on average, each sequence level increases his maximum divine essence by 13 points.

The Dark Sun Slime is even stronger, with an average maximum of 15 points per sequence.

It was only then that Rosen realized that the forbidden sequence was not the end.

Above the forbidden sequence, there are even immortal sequences and eternal sequences.

Only by mastering the Immortal Sequence can one have the opportunity to surpass the Great True God.

Only by mastering the eternal sequence can one have a chance to become an eternal being.

The Dark Sun Slime is now part of the Eternal Sequence and has the potential to grow into an eternal being like the Old Gods.

However, the Dark Sun Slime is currently only an Eternal Kinship. It needs to use the Dark Sun Mark talent to continue hunting Dark Sun Kinship to strengthen the Dark Sun Mark. Once the Dark Sun Mark reaches its limit, the Dark Sun Slime can grow into an Eternal Lifeform.

He had only killed 15,000 Sons of the Dark Sun, yet he had gained an initial form of eternal life.

Rosen looked at the Dark Sun Slime, feeling not surprise but shock.

He didn't think this was a windfall or a lucky break that he had inherited the Dark Sun's legacy.

Rosen is more inclined to believe that Dark Sun is in very poor condition, and that Dark Sun's Mark may be a means for Dark Sun to be reborn. If Dark Sun Slime were to slaughter countless Dark Sun minions and ascend to eternal life, would it be his pet Nightmare Slime or Dark Sun who survives in the end?
Therefore, in his view, the Dark Sun Slime is now like a ticking time bomb.

Rosen had considered getting rid of the Dark Sun Slime, but could he really just shake it off once the Dark Sun had its eye on him?
Dark Sun hasn't shown any malice yet. If we were to throw away Dark Sun Slime, what if it angered Dark Sun? So, regardless of whether there's a problem with Dark Sun Slime, we can't throw it away. We should wait until it returns to the New World before throwing it away.

As for now, the Dark Sun Slime can become his ally.

Its other talent is eternal transformation, an eternal talent born after becoming part of the eternal sequence.

Under the scrutiny of the Apocalypse Eye, the level of Eternal Talent is ranked on par with the unique Miracle trait of Miracle Treasure.

Relying on Eternal Transformation, the Dark Sun Slime can transform into this thing no matter what it swallows through the Infinite Gluttony skill.

If one becomes a living being, one can inherit 100% of the extraordinary power; if one becomes an inanimate object, the amount of extraordinary power inherited is uncertain.

Rosen commanded the Dark Sun Slimes to independently hunt down the Sons of Dark Sun. The Dark Sun Slimes' defensive capabilities were terrifyingly strong; even the Dragon God's Wrath's full-force attack could probably only break through their defenses. Killing a Dark Sun Slime was almost impossible.

Back in the mysterious study, Rosen prepared to master the last self-created skill in the Hunter Sequence.

Looking back now, he was clearly abnormal. By the time he had hunted more than two thousand Dark Sun Children, he had already met the requirements to master the last skill. However, he was like a demon at the time, single-mindedly focused on hunting more Dark Sun Children and obtaining more Dark Sun Imprints for fusion and upgrade.

It wasn't until the Dark Sun Slime was born that Rosen felt he had truly come to his senses.

As countless spiritual runes overlapped and recombined within the mimicry of the godhood, these spiritual runes quickly merged with faith to generate a special skill rune. This faith could not be the faith of believers, but had to be Rosen's own obsessive faith of killing humans, born from hunting the Sons of the Dark Sun.

[Hunter Mindset: All humanoid life forms are automatically assumed to be human]

It's neither a miracle skill nor a law skill; it's just a special skill, similar to an innate skill.

The three self-created skills that Rosen mastered in Hunter Sequence 1 can all be considered special innate skills.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the Ancient God Realm, and immediately a row of targets appeared in front of him.

They have everything from ordinary white rabbits to Sequence 1 abyssal demons, but there are no pure-blooded humans.

In the past, when Rosen hunted these creatures, he could only activate the hunting contract, not the hunter contract.

But now, any life form resembling a human is automatically assumed to be human.

As for why rabbits are considered humanoid, Rosen's understanding of humanoids is at the conceptual level.

Humans have eyes, rabbits have eyes, what else could they be but humanoids?
No matter how strange or unusual the shape, if a life form has any of the characteristics of a human, it is considered humanoid.

Therefore, hunting these creatures can not only activate the Hunter Contract, but also activate the Miracle Hunter trait on the Hunter Map, thereby gaining Hunter Points, which can be exchanged for everything that human prey possesses through the Hunter Map.

Rosen blew the rabbit's head off with a single shot, and the Hunter Contract automatically took effect.

Continuing to shoot the remaining humanoid lifeforms, I indeed felt a very slight increase in the damage from the supernatural bullets.

It may not be immediately apparent, but as the number of humans killed increases, the true damage from the Hunter's Contract will become increasingly terrifying. The final psychic bullet with Sequence 9 damage could easily kill a god.

Rosen discovered that hunting ordinary humanoid beings yielded very few hunter points.

None of them can be rounded up to a whole number; there are several zeros after the decimal point.

However, for extraordinary beings that hunt humanoids, the amount of their spiritual essence determines their score.

However, there are differences in the points. Hunter points earned from hunting Sequence 3 and below cannot be exchanged for items from demigod prey. On the other hand, there are no restrictions on points earned from hunting demigods, and at least there is no problem in exchanging them for the abilities of Sequence 1 Abyss Demons.

Rosen directly exchanged for the Flame Authority of the Abyss Fire Demon, and then gained control of the Flame Authority out of thin air.
