Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 433 Ignorance, Arrogance, and Utter Defeat

Chapter 432

"Something's wrong..."

Rosen suddenly felt dizzy and a little disoriented.

At the crucial moment, the Dream Source brought him back to his senses.

Rosen immediately realized that although the ancient god's avatar had stopped the Ten Directions Annihilation, it had already used the Eternal Dream Demon's dream-entering ability and almost pulled his consciousness into the dream. He was like this outside, even when he had control of the Dream Source Seed.

The world's wills are not only inside, but each of them also lacks a dream source seed to resist entering dreams.

Rosen was worried, but he soon realized that he had worried for too long.

The power of the memory source finally reminded him that the world's will had already merged with the Eternal Dream Realm.

The Eternal Dream Realm is itself a dream, and the world's will, which controls the Eternal Dream Realm, has no reason to worry about entering the dream.

Under the protection of the world's will, the old fisherman and his companions had nothing to worry about.

This means that he was not affected by the ancient god's avatar entering his dream, but rather that the ancient god's avatar was targeting him. If he hadn't realized something was wrong at the crucial moment when he mastered the memory source seed, he would have been hypnotized by the ancient god's avatar using the dream source seed, and then foolishly forgot the danger and obediently waited to die.

Instead of addressing the issues posed by the world's will, they set their sights on him, who was merely watching from the sidelines.

Rosen knew without a doubt that the ancient god's avatar saw him as easy to bully and planned to eliminate him first to weaken its forces.

The Eternal Dream Realm has been taken over by the world's will, and it no longer needs assistance in suppressing it.

The Creator's domain instantly expanded, enveloping the surrounding void for billions of miles.

The snake bracelet on her wrist instantly transformed into the Heavenly Burning Serpent and the Heavenly Frost Serpent, which coiled in the void.

The Heavenly Sacred Serpent can sense all souls through the Heavenly Soul Fire, and then the Heavenly Frost Sacred Serpent will manipulate the Heavenly Frost Cold to freeze them.

However, they were powerless against the pursuit of the Heavenly Soul Fire and the blocking effect of the Heavenly Frost's chilling aura, and were completely unable to overcome the eternal will of the ancient god's avatar wandering in the void.

Rosen had assumed that if the ancient god's avatar wanted to kill him, it must have been the main body that had secretly left the Eternal Dream Realm.

The result was not like that at all. The ancient god's avatar was still in the Eternal Dream Realm. What attacked him was merely a projection formed by the convergence of laws and energy of the eternal will. It was equivalent to using an avatar's avatar to kill him. This was not just taking him for granted, but completely disregarding him.

Rosen was initially angry, but he quickly calmed down and came to terms with reality.

Because he discovered that the eternal will still had the right to despise him.

They also possess the power of eternal will, and the power of the source seed and the laws.

However, he can only unleash six or seven tenths of his full power when he has a full foundation, while the ancient god's clone can unleash several times more power when it has a full foundation.

The ancient god's avatar only possesses the source seed of plunder, and the law it controls is the law of the world.

At first, the Burning Heaven Soul Fire could still lock onto the eternal will of the ancient god's avatar, but in the blink of an eye, the eternal will of the ancient god's avatar had already gathered and dispersed at will, merging into all things in heaven and earth, and by plundering the source seed, it controlled all the laws and energy of the void.

Then, using countless laws and energies, they constructed a world domain even more powerful than the realm of the Creator.

Then, with the world domain, he gradually encroached upon the domain of his creator.

The difference in their mastery of the rules and the field is like the difference between a primary school math problem and a top mathematician's.

Rosen initially felt resentful, but he quickly accepted reality.

He only lived for a little over a thousand years, and even with the acceleration of time, it would only be a few hundred thousand years at most.

Moreover, most of the time, he was engrossed in his studies.

He has no shortage of real combat experience, but his opponents are only strong individuals at various levels.

The most valuable experience I gained was during my time on the King's Continent. As for the experience of fighting against immortal gods and demons, it was very limited, and the experience of fighting against eternal life was only this one time.

In contrast, the ancient gods are conservatively estimated to have lived for hundreds of billions of years.

With such a long period of time, the research time on the source species and the laws is countless times longer than his, and he has countless experiences of fighting to the death with countless eternal beings. How can his hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation be comparable to the cultivation of the ancient gods for hundreds of billions of years?
Only now did Rosen truly understand why the World Will had made him play a supporting role outside.

Because the world's will knows very well that he is not qualified to face the ancient god's avatar.

To reiterate, we only brought him in because we didn't want him to cause trouble.

The power he displays is seen by the world's will as nothing more than a hindrance than a help.

Rosen was certainly holding back; at least so far, the power he used was at the level he had before ascending to immortality.

He still holds back some of his significantly enhanced strength after his promotion, keeping it as a trump card.

I was originally planning to reveal myself at a crucial moment to grab more spoils, but now it seems that hiding is the best option.

Indeed, his origin and eternal will, which transcend the boundaries of immortal gods and demons, can make up for his lack of experience.

However, realizing that his true strength is even more terrifying than imagined, the world's will will also be wary of him.

After all, experience is easy to acquire, but inner strength is difficult to cultivate.

What Rosen should do now is not to covet more resources, but to find a way to fully transform his existing resources into power.

The ancient god's avatars and the world's will are his best teachers at this stage.

Rosen stopped thinking about how to kill the ancient god's avatar and instead seized the opportunity to study hard.

The Omniscient Source Species enhances various reconnaissance eye techniques, responsible for observing the actions of the Ancient God's clones and others.

Then, the memory source seed enhances the photographer sequence, recording everything the pupil technique sees.

Then the source species gathers and disperses, and the sequence of psychologists is distracted countless times.

Finally, the information source organizes all the recorded videos, filters and summarizes valuable skills and experiences, and then learns from them through the wisdom source, gaining the most intuitive growth every minute and every second.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Serpent and the Frost Serpent, the ancient god's avatar was unable to defeat Rosen.

This caused the ancient god's avatar to gradually give up targeting him, while Rosen stubbornly clung to the projection of the ancient god's avatar.

Compared to the entanglements outside the Eternal Dream Realm, the battles inside the Eternal Dream Realm are far more intense.

The ancient god manifested in various forms, merging with all things, plundering and controlling them.

All things in heaven and earth were controlled by the ancient god's avatars, so the immortal dawns naturally could not control them.

Fortunately, the Immortal Dawns all possessed their own immortal worlds and had anticipated such a situation. Therefore, no life could be seen within each person's immortal world, as all spaces were filled with accumulated eternal essence.

Even though it is difficult to control external energy, it can fight to the death for a long time by relying on its own stored energy.

The conditions for determining victory or defeat, life or death, in battles between extraordinary beings are very simple.

The strength of the Eternal Origin Reserves, the power of the Origin Seed, the strength of the Eternal Will—these are the foundations of extraordinary life forms. Combined with combat experience, whichever side gains the upper hand will essentially determine the outcome.

Victory is always decided by the strong over the weak; there is no such thing as the weak over the strong.

The ancient god was worried that his clones might cause problems and threaten his original self, so he never granted his clones true eternal-level power.

Therefore, the ancient god's avatars, like the immortal dawn, are all beings of extraordinary proportions at the level of immortal gods and demons.

Although the Ancient God's Plunder Source Seeds are powerful, the Ancient God's avatar only possesses one of the nine Plunder Source Seeds.

In contrast, the Immortal Dawns possess complete Source Seeds.

In these respects, the ancient god's avatars and the immortal dawn are almost identical in their foundation.

Even in terms of reserves of eternal origin, the prepared Immortal Dawns have an advantage.

With four enemies surrounding one, even if the ancient god's clone had an advantage in combat experience, that advantage was not enough to offset the disadvantage.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the world's will has been fighting a battle it is certain to win.

The only difference lies in how long the battle lasts and how much the cost is.

When the ancient god's avatars are driven to the brink of destruction, they will definitely resort to a suicidal tactic, dragging the world's will down with them.

Therefore, the Immortal Dawn were always somewhat restrained, with 60% of their power spent on careful defense. After all, what they wanted was to kill the Ancient God's avatar alive and enjoy the fruits of victory, rather than perish together with the Ancient God's avatar and let others benefit from all the gains.

As time passed, the ancient god's avatars could no longer transform into anything to avoid harm. This was because the will of the world had already wiped out everything within the Eternal Dream Realm.

However, neither Rosen, who was watching from the outside, nor the World Will and others at the core of the battlefield were careless in the slightest despite having an absolute advantage, because they all knew very well that the ancient god's avatar still had trump cards to play.

The ancient gods limited their avatars to the level of immortal gods and demons because they were afraid the avatars would escape control.

However, the enemies faced by the ancient god's avatars may be true, eternal beings.

Historically, there are records of ancient gods awakening in their avatars and slaying eternal beings.

It is certain that it was done with the help of an external object, and it is extremely difficult to use an external object that can kill an eternal life form that is beyond one's level continuously.

However, no one can be sure whether the ancient god's avatar, which has not yet revealed its trump card, can once again slay an eternal being.

So the world's will is actually gambling, betting that the ancient god's avatars no longer have any trump cards to kill eternal life.

If they lose the bet, everyone will die in the Eternal Dreamland.

As expected, the ancient god's avatar, having been forced into a corner, finally couldn't help but use its trump card first.

The trump card of extraordinary beings has always been their strongest means.

They won't easily use their trump cards unless they're forced into a corner.

Because everything in the universe is interconnected and mutually restraining, no matter how strong a trump card is, once it is used, someone will inevitably find a way to counter it. The strength of a spear and a shield is never absolute; a stronger spear will inevitably lead to the creation of a stronger shield, and vice versa.

Moreover, even the most powerful spear needs to hit the opponent to cause damage.

Both sides are at their peak, and easily using trump cards may not be able to hit an opponent in their prime.

Only when the opponent's condition weakens with each continuous battle, and only by seizing the enemy's weaknesses in the midst of this sustained struggle, can the revealed cards unleash their maximum destructive power and play a crucial role in determining victory or defeat.

The ancient god's avatars no longer transform into various things, but instead coalesce into the true form of the ancient god, shifting from a defensive counterattack to a full-scale offensive.

He produced a straw-like object in his hand, then inserted it into his brain and extracted a tube of cerebrospinal fluid.

Bring the straw to your mouth and blow; a colorful bubble has already appeared.

The moment the colorful bubble formed, the World Will, Immortal Dawn, and others all lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

The ancient god's avatar did not seize the opportunity to attack the world's will and others. Instead, it instantly disappeared from its original spot and reappeared behind Rosen, a giant axe flashing in its hand, locking onto Rosen and cleaving down with the axe.

The Creator's Domain was torn apart like paper by the axe blade, and Rosen's Butterfly Feather Robe was also instantly ripped apart.

Even the immortal divine body of the immortal god and demon was split in two, and the eternal divine spark was instantly shattered.

Rosen had died before, but never so decisively.

In the instant his consciousness faded, he finally realized that something was wrong with him.

Today, he is following the will of the world to hunt down the ancient god's avatar, which is as dangerous as dancing on a tightrope over a cliff.

Yet he was watching the show outside, and even had the mind to learn and steal techniques during the battle?
What arrogance! A complete loss of vigilance.

There's no time when you really need to learn. The normal approach is to wait until you've killed the ancient god's avatar and then reflect on the battle to learn from it. To be preoccupied with learning during a fight when facing a stronger opponent is the arrogance of a strong person facing a weak person, or a genius facing a fool.

Yet, despite his arrogant and foolish behavior, he was completely unaware that he had a problem.

It's likely that the ancient god's avatar has unknowingly eroded his vigilance by plundering the source seed.

The ancient god's avatar's control over the plundering of source seeds has reached a terrifying level, capable of silently stealing even the mindset of vigilance.

Perhaps in addition to vigilance, he has also lost qualities such as humility.

All that remained was arrogance, which led him to focus most of his energy on learning the combat experience of the ancient god's avatars and others.

That's why he was killed without any chance to resist when the ancient god's avatar revealed its trump card and launched an attack.

Through the terror of facing life and death, Rosen regained his lost vigilance.

Even eternal life cannot erase the eternal will. His vigilance cannot be permanently taken away by the ancient god's avatar; at most, it can only be temporarily taken away. Now that he has regained his vigilance, the cycle of time and space has silently enveloped him.

Rosen vanished like a dream, reversing his own timeline to return to the state before he was killed.

He is now certain that the ancient god's avatar did indeed know everything that would happen today through the Book of Destiny.

However, in the future destiny known to the ancient god's avatar, he probably doesn't even exist.

Because at this point, he had already mastered the Time Source and escaped his fate.

The ancient god's avatar sent a projection to kill him not because he thought the ancient god was weak, but on the contrary, his appearance broke the ancient god's control over fate, making the ancient god's avatar feel that the situation that was originally under control was out of control. Therefore, from the beginning, the ancient god was determined to kill him at any cost.

Otherwise, he clearly had a chance to severely damage the world's will, but the ancient god's avatar jumped out to kill him instead.

The ancient god's avatar looked at Rosen in surprise, not understanding how Rosen could possess such powerful spacetime abilities.

Seeing the surprised look on the Ancient God's clone's face, Rosen immediately realized that the clone probably didn't know about Blue Star. The clone's memories depended on the original body's indoctrination. The spacetime source seed of Blue Star was obviously extremely important to the original Ancient God, so important that even the clone wasn't qualified to know about it.

The realm of the Creator envelops the Eternal Dream World, unfolding a cycle of time, and under the reversal of time and space, the world's will and others awaken.

The cycle of time and space can reverse their state, but it cannot reverse their memories.

Having escaped the dream of the ancient god's avatar, everyone looked at the ancient god's avatar in the void with lingering fear.

That straw-like thing is, without a doubt, the Eternal Relic of the Eternal Dream Demon: the Dream-Making Straw.

Although it is very powerful, it can only bully immortal gods and demons, and is not considered very good among the eternal relics.

However, the Heaven-Opening Axe held by the ancient god's avatar is one of the top three known eternal sacred objects in the universe. They never expected that the ancient god himself would entrust the Heaven-Opening Axe to his avatar. Their attempt to hunt down the ancient god's avatar was doomed from the start.

The ancient god's avatars were not forced to reveal their trump cards, but rather were testing the trump cards they possessed.

Now the ancient god's avatar has revealed its trump card, and is ready to kill them.

The ancient god's avatar clearly wanted to kill Rosen the most, but after failing to kill him in one strike, it let him go without hesitation.

Since the ancient god's avatar did not know the exact extent of Rosen's spacetime power, and the Heaven-Opening Axe could not counter that level of spacetime reversal, it was better to concentrate its power to kill the World Will and others whose true nature had been figured out since it could not kill him.

The Heaven-Opening Axe once again cleaved through the void, shattering all things into chaos. The Eternal Dream Realm was split open from the outside in with a single axe strike.

The world's will, which had merged with the Eternal Dream Realm, was unable to transfer even the slightest damage to the Ancient God World despite its best efforts. After absorbing all the damage, it was instantly severely injured. The destructive power of the Heaven-Opening Axe was even greater than the world's will had heard.

The ancient god's avatar did not intend to completely destroy the world's will, since the world would be affected without the ancient god's will.

Therefore, the third axe locked onto the Immortal Dawn. Even though the Immortal Dawn instantly transformed into the primordial light of the universe in an attempt to evade the damage, the ancient god's avatar actually transformed into a beam of light as well, catching up with the Immortal Dawn at an even faster pace and unleashing the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.

It turns out that while they were fighting, the ancient god's avatar had already secretly plundered some of the power of the Immortal Dawn.

The loot was minimal, only enough to briefly transform the ancient god's avatar into the light of dawn.

But chasing after him and striking him with an axe was enough; that one strike had severed all life in the Immortal Dawn.

Even the scattered clones of the Immortal Dawn were slain from afar by the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.

The Immortal Dawn, which perished instantly, was left with only the Dawn Source Seed, which had merged with the eternal will, falling into the hands of the ancient god's avatar.

The idea of ​​reincarnation and resurrection is now a pipe dream.

The ancient god continued to pursue the immortal particles. However, the immortal particles were a trinity, and their strength was no weaker than that of the immortal dawn. The immortal particles abandoned one of their immortal god-demon avatars to block the ancient god's avatar, covering the escape of the remaining two avatars from the battlefield.

The old fisherman's strength is no less than that of the Immortal Dawn, but his escape methods are far inferior to the Immortal Dawn's.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the source seed within his body instantly hooked onto the fishhook, fell into the void, and disappeared.

Because he was the last one targeted by the Ancient God's clone, although he couldn't escape, he was at least able to send away the Source Seed, so he wouldn't suffer the same fate as the Immortal Dawn. The old fisherman was even more fortunate that the Ancient God's clone didn't target his Source Seed and deliver the final blow.

Because the ancient god's avatar still hadn't given up on killing Rosen, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe in its hand had already slashed at Rosen again.

Rosen once again used the Time Loop technique, this time not only reversing time but also reversing space.

When the time loop ended, they had already left the battlefield and arrived at the Supercluster of Stars.
