Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 359 The Hunter's Prey Transformation and the Arcane Emperor's Trap

Chapter 358

In the new world of Ajin, Lawson quietly descends upon the continent through data transmission.

Back then, he killed the avatar of the Hunting God who mastered the Hunter's Law, but the true body of the Hunting God was not captured by the World Government. Instead, it fled back to the Demi-human continent and hid there, constantly plotting to destroy the World Government.

However, with his current abilities, he is already willing but unable to hunt true gods.

The avatar at the level of a true god perished, and the divine kingdom was destroyed by the World Government.

Without these, the Hunting God is just an ordinary God.

In his most desperate moment of hunting down the true god, He unexpectedly encountered the forbidden true god hidden in the new world.

Despite having a powerful backer, the Hunting God did not gain much benefit.

Because the Hunting True God, who only possessed the strength of an ordinary True God, was not highly regarded by the Forbidden True God.

Deep beneath the continent of demi-humans, the Hunting God is diligently mining extraordinary resources from the deep underground.

Rebuilding the Kingdom of God would be a huge expense for Him.

So much so that over the years, the divine avatars of the hunting gods have all become Sequence 1 miners.

Rosen quietly approached from a distance of tens of miles, sensing that the Hunting God had suddenly stopped mining.

He charged straight ahead, trying to leave the underground, because the cramped space of the underground world was not suitable for Hunter Sequence combat.

Although he didn't know where the danger came from, the Hunting God trusted his wild instincts.

However, before the Hunting God could emerge from underground, Rosen had already simulated the Earth Law of the Breath of Earth Spirit Pearl using the Root Law, and then used Limited Omniscience and Omnipotence to simulate the Earth Element Escape of the Breath of Earth Spirit Pearl, thus intercepting the Hunting God one step ahead.

The reason why the Breath of Earth Spirit Pearl was not used directly is because the Earth Law within the Breath of Earth Spirit Pearl is an old law.

However, the fundamental law transcends the concepts of old and new; simulating the old law can also be used as a new law.

The hunting god was surrounded by mud, leaving no space for Him to draw His bow and arrow.

There was no other way but to unleash the Hunting God's Hunting Domain, using the Law Domain to expand the space and create distance within a small area. However, before the Hunting Domain could be unleashed, it was forcibly crushed by the World Law simulated by the Root Law.

The world's laws restrain all laws, meaning that all true gods are restrained by Rosen.

Of course, this does not mean that it can easily sweep away the true gods, because the consumption of simulating different laws of the root law is also different. The more powerful the law that is simulated, the greater the consumption. Simulating the complete world law means stealing the authority of the ancient gods, so you can imagine how much consumption it would consume.

If one were to face several true gods simultaneously, the fundamental laws would be counterproductive in simulating the laws of the world.

However, facing a mere hunting god, the laws of the world are more than enough to crush him.

Without the Law Domain creating a battle space, even the Hunting God didn't see Rosen being approached from behind.

Rosen directly used the Root Sequence to simulate the Vajra Monk Sequence, unleashing a fighting skill powerful enough to tear apart a True God with his bare hands. In a short time of close combat, he had already shattered all of the Hunting True God's defenses and easily tore off the Hunting True God's head.

The Hunting God, trapped deep underground, could only unleash 30% of his full power and was easily severely injured and captured by Rosen.

No one is omniscient or omnipotent; every extraordinary sequence has its strengths and weaknesses.

The Hunter sequence excels at ranged attacks, and while they are not weak in melee combat, it depends on who they are compared to. Compared to the Vajra Monk, who has super strong melee abilities, they would only be beaten. Therefore, even a true god cannot forget to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Rosen sent the Hunting God to the Void Prison for imprisonment, and he has already upgraded the Void Prison to Sequence 1.

Just as he was about to leave, a prophetic painting of fate suddenly appeared on his mental canvas.

While he was setting his sights on the Hunting God, someone else was using the Hunting God as bait.

If he had been even a fraction slower in capturing and hunting the true god, the Prediction of Fate probably wouldn't have had time to issue a warning.

His fundamental law can simulate any law, and the more laws he simulates, the greater the consumption.

However, the laws he already possessed would not be consumed when simulating them.

Whether it's time or fate, both of these laws are constant simulations.

The fact that the precognitive painting, which can enhance both of these laws, only took effect at this moment clearly indicates that the one targeting him is at least a great true god, and one who has specifically set up methods to interfere with precognition.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, countless hidden magic arrays appeared out of thin air, both in the sky and on the ground.

Countless magical runes intertwined and combined to form a gigantic arcane magic circle that surpassed the level of a true god.

At the core of this magic circle, the Arcane Emperor appeared silently.

Seven true gods also appeared, each occupying one of the remaining magic circle nodes to maintain the operation of the arcane magic circle.

Rosen could sense that the surrounding laws had been dispersed, the God Network had been repelled, and at the same time, at least seven great true god-level sealing barriers covered an area of ​​thousands of miles. Finally, he discovered that even one-way data transmission had been blocked.

The book floating beside the Arcane Emperor is undoubtedly a miraculous treasure of the level of a great true god.

Rosen never expected that the one lying in ambush for him would be the Arcane Emperor.

Although he used others to kill and destroy the Eagle Civilization and the Serpent Civilization, it was not enough for the Arcane Emperor to go to such great lengths to deal with him, even though the Arcane Emperor did not target him under the occasional surveillance of the Apocalypse Eye.

Therefore, only one possibility remains: the Arcane Emperor was able to detect the Eye of Apocalypse's spying.

"Do you think you've seen through us great true gods?"

The Arcane Emperor suddenly asked sarcastically.

Rosen, who was about to retaliate, paused his attack upon hearing this and nodded in confusion.

He realized that the Arcane Emperor was stalling for time, taking the opportunity to activate more arcane magic circles.

However, he was indeed very curious as to how the Arcane Emperor knew about the Eye of Apocalypse's spying.

He had spied on so many great true gods in the old world; if it were so easy for him to detect the spying of the Apocalyptic Eye, there would have been problems long ago.

"I'm certain you've obtained the Eye of Apocalypse..."

The Arcane Emperor spoke slowly and deliberately, "The Apocalypse is an immortal god-demon that surpasses even forbidden gods and demons, and it belongs to the strongest tier among immortal gods and demons. The Apocalypse's eyes can see every corner of the world, and everyone lives in constant fear under its watchful gaze..."

Through the Arcane Emperor, Rosen truly learned the origin of that eyeball.

At its peak, Apocalypse wasn't omnipotent, but calling it omniscient was by no means an exaggeration.

As the strongest beings in the God Civilization, the God Computers are the masterpieces of Apocalypse.

However, after Tianqi survived the tenth calamity of civilization and became an immortal god and demon, Tianqi did not leave the old and new worlds with the main god civilization. Instead, he stayed behind to try to defeat the world's will and replace it, and to take advantage of the ancient gods' slumber to eliminate them.

To what extent did Tianqi achieve back then? Others don't really know the specifics.

At that time, the New World's main god civilization was the only dominant one, and the great true gods remaining from other civilizations hid in the Old World. They dared not get involved in the deadly struggle between Apocalypse and the World Will. They only knew that Apocalypse ultimately failed.

Although the Arcane Emperor didn't reveal what techniques he possessed, Rosen could roughly guess.

They either obtained another eye of Apocalypse, or they obtained a treasure left behind by Apocalypse.

It seemed that he had stalled for time enough, and the Arcane Emperor suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, countless arcane rings appeared on the book that was floating around him, and these arcane rings flashed through the void and hit Rosen.

Each arcane ring carries the collapse of a thirteenth-order arcane law.

Rosen's primordial energy, formed from 164 points of life essence, coiled around his body, creating a terrifying defense that even a true god would find difficult to break. Yet, it was utterly vulnerable to the collapse of laws. However, when the collapse of laws struck his body, it only tore open a tiny wound.

"The sequence of ancient gods in the realm of physical manifestation..."

The Arcane Emperor's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

Only great true gods in the ancient god sequence are qualified to embody a world and then transform it back into their own body. However, to his knowledge, only half-step immortal gods and demons possess such a strong defensive capability against the collapse of laws. Forbidden gods and demons who wish to become immortal gods and demons need to elevate their own divine kingdom into an independent world.

However, the process of the divine kingdom ascending to become an independent world requires obtaining countless resources from the main world and creating countless causes and effects.

Therefore, after the world was born, it was bound to suffer a fatal blow from the world's will.

If you can hold on, you can become an immortal god or demon like the Lord of the Abyss. If you can't hold on, you will be a half-step immortal god or demon like the Dragon Realm and Heaven, who will completely perish and leave behind only the independent worlds they created. Rosen is clearly only Sequence 0, so how could he have a defense comparable to a half-step immortal god or demon?

Rosen just wanted to test his limits, but he didn't expect his limits to be so powerful.

However, he soon realized that he had underestimated the Arcane Emperor.

Because the Arcane Emperor's divine realm descended from the depths of the astral void, like stars falling from the sky tearing through space. The entire divine realm was filled with countless arcane runes, like colorful glass spheres, and one could vaguely see the great arcane towers of true god level standing within the divine realm.

The Arcane Emperor is definitely not an ordinary great god; he has probably reached the limit at this level.

There was no summoning of the divine kingdom, nor any use of the power of the arcane tower.

It was only because the Arcane Emperor had a bad reputation, because he was wary of the world's will, and because he didn't want other great true gods to be wary of him. However, the terrifying defensive capabilities he displayed successfully made the Arcane Emperor wary, and he was willing to do anything to eliminate him directly.

"I will not give you the opportunity to continue to grow."

As the Arcane Emperor spoke, he activated the full power accumulated by the Arcane Kingdom and the Arcane Tower of Wisdom.

An endless torrent of arcane magic, centered on the divine realm, fell upon Rosen.

Rosen was not yet dead, but the entire continent of demi-humans had already succumbed to the aftershocks of the arcane torrent and shattered into pieces. Everywhere, the mournful cries of the demi-humans before their deaths could be heard. The only two true gods of the demi-human race could only lead a portion of the demi-humans in a desperate escape.

The attention of all the great true gods and deities in the entire new world has been drawn to the continent of demi-humans.

"I'm not playing with you anymore..."

In an instant, Rosen simulated the Arcane Laws through the Root Laws, simulated the collapse of the laws through the Root Sequence, and simulated the Arcane Origin of the Arcane Emperor through the Root Origin. In that instant, he was almost equivalent to the Arcane Emperor himself.

Therefore, until Rosen broke free of the arcane magic circle's seal, none of the seals had a chance to take effect.

Then, through data transmission, Rosen vanished in the blink of an eye.

The arcane torrent could not be stopped, and the entire demi-human continent was reduced to ashes in just a few breaths.

Even the oceans spanning billions of miles were evaporated, and the Earth's crust, hundreds of thousands of miles thick, was breached.

However, no matter how powerful the damage is, if it doesn't hit, it's as good as nothing to Rosen.

Enraged, the Arcane Emperor returned to the Arcane Realm, then rode it back into the Astral Plane and disappeared.

Although the battle ended with Rosen's departure, the great true gods in the main world who witnessed the final outcome of the battle realized that Rosen was a monster who was in no way inferior to them, and all the great true gods were wary of Rosen, who was only at Sequence 0.

Meanwhile, Rosen was already familiarizing himself with the arcane laws he had simulated in the mysterious study.

This law is already extremely powerful; there are no more than ten laws in the New World that are more powerful than the Arcane Law.

Arcane Laws were created by the Arcane Emperor and could have been kept to himself. However, the Arcane Emperor allowed Arcane Laws to be integrated into the entire New World, allowing countless arcane sorcerers to share the power of arcane magic, and allowing Arcane Laws to become part of the New World and subject to the will of the world.

If the ancient gods awaken, the other great true gods can still escape using their own unique laws.

So the Arcane Emperor wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Even if he escapes, the Arcane Emperor, unable to take the Arcane Laws with him, will only become a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

However, the Arcane Emperor did it anyway, and the benefit he gained was the continuous growth of countless arcane sorcerers and the arcane network, which in turn strengthened the arcane laws. The Arcane Emperor was probably one of the forbidden true gods who had sided with the will of the world.

Therefore, the essence of the forbidden true god is to integrate his self-created laws into the new world.

If he hadn't endured the collapse of the Arcane Emperor's laws, and if he hadn't simulated the Arcane Emperor's power, he would have been severely injured even if he hadn't died today, and might have been forced into a desperate situation where he would have had to unleash the Ten Directions Annihilation.

"These great true gods should not be underestimated."

Rosen remarked with emotion.

The Apocalypse Eye gave him a huge intelligence advantage, but some great true gods probably already knew that he controlled one of the Apocalypse Eyes and knew about his spying. They then turned the tables and provided false information, secretly setting a trap for him to fall into.

Rosen looked at the disintegration of the arcane laws simulated by the root sequence in his hand, trying to thoroughly analyze the arcane but failing.

He could only simulate the surface, but could not delve into the core of this arcane art.

However, he already understood the general effect of the law's collapse.

This is an arcane art that treats the laws as bombs, releasing terrifying destructive power through the destruction of the laws. This arcane art, which specifically destroys different laws, is probably the source of the Arcane God's confidence to betray the will of the world.

Rosen had originally planned to rebuild the Glorious Kingdom, but now it seems he has to change his mind.

He wasn't worried about his own life if he attracted an attack from several great true gods, but the Glorious Kingdom would inevitably suffer the same fate as the Demi-human Continent. However, without rebuilding the Glorious Kingdom in the new world, he would find it difficult to enhance its civilization and fortune.

Having no better solution at the moment, Rosen vented all his frustrations on the Hunting God.

The Root Sequence directly simulates the power of the Abyss Executioner, subjecting the Hunting God to thousands of tortures.

After torturing the Hunting God to the point of near collapse, the Root Sequence was used to simulate the psychologist sequence. By leveraging the mental link of Sequence 0, the Hunting God's memories were peered into, and gradually the deepest secrets hidden by the Hunting God were revealed.

The Hunting God once discovered a ruin, from which he uncovered an ancient history that had been hidden.

By studying this history, the Hunting God discovered a terrifying secret.

According to Rosen's current understanding, after the destruction of the old world, a new world was born. After the birth of the new world, civilizations gradually developed. The oldest known civilization is the cosmic civilization, and what precedes the cosmic civilization is called the barbaric period.

The so-called barbaric period was the period when intelligent life began to emerge after the birth of the new world.

At that time, there was no concept of civilization, or even if civilization had been born, no great god had been born within it. From a historical perspective, a civilization of this level was simply not qualified to be passed down forever.

Cosmic civilization may not be the earliest civilization, but it is the earliest civilization to give birth to a great true god.

However, through the memories of hunting the true god, Rosen discovered that there was something wrong with this understanding.

Through that historical relic, the Hunting God discovered that a very powerful civilization had actually emerged before the cosmic civilization. That civilization even forced the ancient gods to awaken in order to destroy it and erase all traces of its existence.

However, even with the intervention of the ancient gods, that civilization still managed to secretly preserve its ruins.

The last legacies of this mysterious civilization are hidden inside the Twilight Battlefield.

The Hunting God spared no expense in killing the Hunter God, and his deepest hidden true target was the Twilight Battlefield.

A shrunken version of the Twilight Battlefield appeared in Rosen's hand; this thing was probably more complex than he had imagined.

However, to truly master the Twilight Battlefield, you need to collect the Sequence 3 Beast King Arena, the Sequence 2 All Races Arena, and the Sequence 1 Gods' Arena. Only when all three Miracle Treasures are integrated into the Twilight Battlefield will the Twilight Battlefield transform from a Miracle Treasure into a Miracle Building.

It seems that his focus now will be on collecting these miraculous treasures.

The Beast King's Colosseum was sold by him years ago and later fell into the hands of the Hunting God and was placed in His divine kingdom.

Later, the World Government conquered God Kingdom, and the Beast King Colosseum fell into the hands of the World Government.

The remaining Arena of the Gods is in the hands of many alien gods in the Pantheon.

As for the All Races Arena, it has always been in the hands of the World Government.

Rosen planned to prioritize acquiring the Beast King Arena. Since it was only a Sequence 3 Miracle Treasure, it wasn't highly valued. After the kingdom of the Hunting God was breached, it fell into the hands of a deity responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

Just as he was about to set off, Rosen reconsidered that it was inappropriate to do so.

He was worried about alerting the enemy. If someone knew about the existence of that mysterious civilization like the Hunting God, then it was very likely that all three components of the Twilight Battlefield were bait. If he moved even one of the baits, people would immediately suspect that he controlled the Twilight Battlefield.

So either don't do it at all, or if you do, get all three parts at once.
