Lord: Sequence Master

"I can't find any valuable memories..." Daisy said, disappointed after taking great pains to read Chinon's mental memory.

Rosen was also a little disappointed, but he understood that this was reasonable. Memory inevitably hides its own weaknesses.

Except for the 100% complete memory of the original body, an existence like a divine clone usually only retains basic memories and most combat-related memories. There's no need to retain memories involving their own secrets.

But, memories can't be completely deleted just because someone wants to. As long as something has existed, it leaves traces. Therefore, there is still hope of recovering deleted memories. Daisy, being a psychologist, excelled at this. Of course, even if it took a lot of effort to recover part of the memories deleted by Chinon, they would definitely be incomplete.

Under the five-fold time acceleration of the Time Tower, Daisy estimated that it would take half a year in reality to complete the deep excavation of deleted memories.

Of course, Rosen couldn't wait that long, so he was ready to leave Totem Canyon.

"I'm afraid you can't leave for the next six months," Daisy reminded, as soon as she understood the situation.

"Why?" Rosen asked, puzzled.

"Chinon will locate his divine clone and chase it to the Chaotic Sea," Daisy said with certainty.

Rosen immediately realized that they could not leave Totem Canyon for the time being.

Chinon was different from Daisy. Daisy could avoid being located by her second personality because her main personality had some means that the second personality didn't know about. However, Chinon wanted to locate his divine clone, and conventional means could not hide it at all.

The mysterious study was fine, but Rosen didn't want to reveal his biggest secret to Daisy.

Since he couldn't leave, Rosen decided to concentrate on his studies.

After obtaining the Holy Grail King, the faith of the Lord God's Church had a new purpose. These days, he had been using the Holy Grail of the True God's Power Source Essence to absorb faith, strengthening his own extraordinary source essence. Soon, he would be able to master more high-sequence skills at Sequence 4.

His first choice was Dimensional Art, a high-sequence skill that allowed painters to truly alter things.

Painters below Sequence 3 rarely have skills that can be used to confront the enemy head-on. They usually hide in the Void Gallery, relying on spiritual paintings accumulated over the years to overwhelm their enemies.

However, the painter can't hide forever. There will always be a time when they are blocked by others and must fight head-on.

Other painters do not have the Hunter Sequence, so at such times, they must master powerful frontal combat skills. The Art of Dimension is one such Sequence 3 skill.

However, this skill is notoriously difficult to learn. Fortunately, Rosen had some inherited spiritual paintings.

Rosen hung the Dimensional Art on the wall. After injecting divinity into it, he was immediately pulled into the space of the painting by the spiritual realm painting.

There were 49 floors in the painting, but Rosen had only reached the first floor.

The first floor was a painting studio, empty and void.

Rosen wanted to move forward and explore, but found that his body was controlled by external forces. Even his divinity was out of his control. Under this external influence, he summoned the magic pen and began to draw dots on the wall representing the zero dimension.

However, this point was a bit too large and clearly not a true zero-dimensional point.

Rosen now understood that this was the power of the inherited spiritual realm paintings. It was using his body to start from the basics, step by step, helping him become familiar with how to draw a qualified zero-dimensional dot.

A true zero-dimensional point is infinitely small, but it is impossible for a brush to draw such a small point. For a true zero-dimensional point, the dot drawn by a brush is merely a cover-up. In fact, it requires divinity as the raw material and a special combination of spiritual runes as the technique. First, a large dot is drawn, and then, within the dot, divinity and spiritual runes continuously shrink it.

This is a painting technique that is easy to learn but difficult to master, because before the true God, one can only get infinitely close to the true zero dimension. Without the authority of time and space, and without supreme divine power enough to fully exert the full power of the two authorities, it is impossible to point out the real zero-dimensional black spot with one stroke. Therefore, the zero dimension referred to in the Art of Dimension is actually fake.

But even if it is fake, it still doesn't prevent it from being a very terrifying painting skill.

Rosen holds world authority and also masters five-dimensional painting, so he quickly learned how to draw a dot. At the same time, the first space he was in collapsed and immediately brought him into the second space. If the first space was about learning how to draw a dot, then the second space was about learning how to draw a line.

The essence of a line is between two points. A line can be infinitely long or infinitely short.

This time, the inheritance began to teach Rosen step by step how to draw two points, how to draw a line between them, and how to use divinity to integrate spiritual runes into the line during the simple process of drawing lines.

At the beginning, Rosen drew the lines thick and long. In the end, with the help of the spiritual runes in the painting, the line became shorter and thinner.

Rosen studied very hard and learned very quickly. Because the essence of these painting techniques is nothing more than the mastery of different rules and authorities.

After Daisy's guidance, Rosen now knows that there is a big difference between rules and laws. Different eras have different supernatural systems, but no matter which era it is, the true gods are not affected in any way. What is affected are the gods of Sequence 0 and below, because except for the true gods, the other levels hold the authority of rules rather than the authority of laws.

Law refers to the original law of operation of all things in the world. Rules refer to the influence and control that intelligent life has mastered over some laws on the operation of all things.

To put it more simply, rules are incomplete laws.

Many people can master the rules, but only one person can master the complete law. Therefore, there is only one true God of the same sequence, but there can be more than one Sequence 0. The laws remain unchanged, but the rules change with the times. The changes in the main world's supernatural system are essentially changes in rules rather than laws.

Any extraordinary system in any era will eventually lead to the path of becoming a true God who has completely mastered the laws.

The terrifying thing about the great true God is that they can create new laws based on the framework of the inherent laws of the main world and integrate them into this framework.

So the situation is very clear. The inheritance that Rosen is now receiving is essentially to rely on painting to master different powers little by little.

Sure enough, the third painting does not extend from line drawing to painting but starts to draw the zero-dimensional dot again. But this time, the spiritual runes integrated into it changed.

If the spiritual runes that were fused last time mobilized the power of space, this time they mobilized the power of time.

Then in the fourth space, Rosen learned to draw lines again, as expected. However, this time, just like the third space, the spiritual runes integrated into it had changed from space to time.

Next is the fifth space, the sixth space, and even the inheritance space beyond that. Rosen began to learn how to draw dots and lines, but the spiritual runes integrated into them changed from space to time, and from time to different elements: from gold, wood, water, fire, earth, to wind, thunder, light, and darkness. So far, 22 inheritance spaces had dissipated.

Rosen has thoroughly affirmed that Dimensional Art is essentially about mastering the power of the world through painting.

What is world authority? In essence, it is the sum of all rules and authorities. So there is no doubt that world authority is the strongest authority, and world laws are the strongest laws.

There are probably only two generations of ancient gods of creation who truly master the laws of the world.

As for the world authority constituted by incomplete world laws, it is known that the World Tree can naturally grasp the world authority, and whether there are other existences that can grasp the world authority is completely unknown. Rosen also indirectly grasped some world authority with the help of the World Tree.

The upper and lower limits of world authority are very low because it contains too many rules and authorities. If you want everything, the result will definitely be that everything is mediocre.

The world authority that Rosen currently holds is mainly the authority of time, space, light, darkness, creation, and the seven deadly sins. As for the other rules and authorities, he only needs to master a little bit without the energy to study them in depth. It will be enough to barely constitute the world authority.

But this time, through the Art of Dimension, Rosen's control over the powers of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness was greatly enhanced.

As he looked forward to entering the 23rd inheritance space, Rosen didn't continue to explore new rules and authorities with the help of spiritual runes integrated into points and lines. Instead, he began to further integrate the rules and authorities he had already mastered.

For example, he fused time and space, or wind and thunder.

There were 22 inheritance spaces, and Rosen had learned the techniques for fusing 22 different spiritual runes. However, this was not the end. Theoretically, it was possible to merge three or even four rules, but further fusion was not something this inheritance could provide. He would need to rely on these 22 combinations to create more combinations of rules and authorities in the future.

So, when only 5 inheritance spaces remained, Rosen began to formally learn the techniques of dimensional art. He learned how to reduce the dimension of a painting into a line, how to reduce the dimension of a painting into a point, and how to instantly upgrade the dimension of the painting sealed in the dot and release it in an instant.

By the time he had completely mastered the last technique, Rosen had partial memories of fifty more painters in his mind. It was no wonder that the inherited spiritual realm painting displayed the existence of fifty people, yet he had never encountered any of them since receiving the inheritance. It turned out these people referred to the painter's memory. The inheritance of the dimension was essentially a skill inheritance created by 50 Sequence 3 painters working together.

Dimensional Art: Can use divinity to weave spiritual runes and seal multi-dimensional paintings into points and lines.

Learning skills was just the beginning; how to apply them was the key.

Rosen set up the easel, opened the void album, and prepared the materials before beginning to paint a spiritual painting on the blank paper at the back. He drew a metal slime, a Sequence 4 metal slime.

At the end of the painting, he applied the finishing touch to give the metal slime in the painting a more realistic concept. Therefore, if the Metal Slime were to materialize from the painting, its strength would not be lower than Sequence 4.

Even with the finishing touch and final enhancement, the resources consumed in drawing this picture could be exchanged for a Sequence 4 extraordinary artifact. Following the summoning style of Mogaro, who drew a group of Sequence 3 Angels of Light, Rosen was definitely a rich school among demigod painters.

However, no matter how rich he was, there was a limit to the number of Sequence 3 Angels of Light that Mogaro could materialize. The strength of divinity determined the upper limit of the number of simultaneous manifestations. Furthermore, materializing a Sequence 3 Angel of Light was the upper limit. Unless one mastered high-sequence skills, it would be nearly impossible to materialize a Sequence 2 Angel of Light.

The same went for Rosen. His spiritual strength was now 63 points, not counting the ancient god sacrificial vessels. The new points he had gained were from the improvement in the process of inheriting dimensional art. He spent two months painting 63 pieces of Sequence 4 metal slimes.

Rosen casually took out a spiritual painting of a metal slime, then took out a magic pen and drew a line in the painting. The next moment, the metal slime in the painting disappeared, leaving only the line that had just been added.

He continued taking out more metal slime spiritual paintings, either drawing lines or dots. In the end, all 63 spiritual paintings disappeared, leaving only dots and lines on pieces of drawing paper. He then concentrated all the dots and lines into one painting.

Rosen used these dots and lines to draw a metal slime that appeared to be made up of dots and lines. Finally, he injected 63 points of spirituality to materialize the metal slime in the painting.

A lifelike metal slime immediately emerged from the painting, but its aura was not that of Sequence 4. Instead, it was a Sequence 3. And not just any ordinary Sequence 3, but one that could face Chinon's Sequence 3 divine clone head-on without losing.

Rosen was a little frightened at this time. This was one of the uses of dimensional art. First, similar spiritual paintings were sealed into dots and lines, and then re-created into new spiritual paintings. Ultimately, the power of the entire painting was equivalent to 63 spiritual paintings superimposed on each other, making it much more powerful than summoning 63 Sequence 4 metal slimes.

Rosen continued to try the second method. He summoned the Queen of Wood Elves from the Ancient God Realm.

"Wait a moment, when you are fully prepared, try to break out of this painting," Rosen said, as he took out a Sequence 6 spiritual painting of an ancient tree of life.

The Queen of Wood Elves nodded. A Sequence 6 spiritual painting could not possibly trap her. However, since Rosen had asked for it, she would use other means. She did not underestimate the situation, raising her condition to the peak.

The Sequence 6 Ancient Tree of Life on the drawing paper in Rosen's hand disappeared instantly. Only a fist-sized dimensional dot remained, and then the dot began to shrink. As the dot shrank, the authority of time and space contained in it began to lock onto the Queen of Wood Elves, forming a vortex of time and space.

Since it was only a Sequence 6 spiritual painting, the time and space authority it carried were limited. It wasn't difficult for the Queen of Wood Elves to break free from the suction of the space-time vortex. However, if this painting had been a Sequence 3 spiritual painting, after it turned into a dimensional dot, the space-time suction generated would have been enough to forcibly pull the Queen of Wood Elves into the spiritual world within the painting.

After giving up resistance, the Wood Elf Queen was sucked into the painting in the blink of an eye. The final dimensional dot kept shrinking, and shrinking it to the size of a molecule was the limit of what Rosen could currently achieve. The Wood Elf Queen, who should have easily torn the spiritual world apart and fought her way out, managed to escape from the dimensional dot in an extremely embarrassing way after three hours. This was because, after the spiritual painting collapsed into a dimensional dot, her power was suppressed to Sequence 5 by the dimensionality reduction of the spiritual world.

This was the second use of Dimensional Art: sealing external objects into the painting and then reducing the dimension of the entire painting. Not only did this increase the strength of the seal on the space within the painting dramatically, but it also greatly suppressed the power of the sealed beings and objects. There were two uses for Dimensional Art, and these were just the basic ones Rosen had explored so far.

Even so, Rosen could use this to face any Sequence 3 without being at a disadvantage. If combined with five-dimensional painting, he couldn't imagine how powerful the final result would be. Rosen sent the frightened Wood Elf Queen back to the Ancient God Realm and began setting up easels in the Void Gallery's studio. This time, he wasn't going to paint metal slimes, but Sequence 4 Ash Bees. Like the Slime Nest, the Ash Bee Hive had been enhanced to Sequence 5 through Miracle Synthesis.

Being able to mass-produce Sequence 5 Ash Bees, it wouldn't be difficult to use Miracle Synthesis to synthesize a batch of Sequence 4 Ash Bees. On the other side, the self-portrait clone was responsible for synthesis, while Rosen himself was responsible for painting. As the finishing touch to a Sequence 4 Ash Bee spiritual painting, he integrated an Ash Bee synthesized to Sequence 4 into the painting. This way, the Ash Bee materialized by the painting would not only be stronger, but also the entire painting wouldn't be completely ruined if it was destroyed.

After all 72 spiritual paintings containing Sequence 4 Ash Bees were completed, Rosen began to use Dimensional Art for secondary creation. Finally, 72 points and lines were used to redraw an Ash Bee composed of points and lines. Rosen activated the Ancient God's sacrificial vessel and transformed spirituality into divinity. Then, he prepared to summon the Ash Bee in the painting at its extreme limit to test its strength.

However, at this moment, the painting in his hand underwent a special change.

[2D Ash Bee: Miracle Painting]

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Miracle attribute: can summon a Sequence 3 two-dimensional Ash Bee]

[Miracle Features: True Armor Breaking, True Damage, True Pain, True Must Hit, True Bee Sting, Unique in the World, Eternal Immortality]

Rosen never expected that this painting would become a new Miracle Painting. Perhaps it was because the real Ash Bee was sealed, or perhaps because after drawing the Metal Slime, he mastered the art of dimension and truly put all his effort into painting this picture. In short, this painting became a new Miracle Painting.

All miracle properties now had the true prefix.

True Armor Break ignored almost all defenses below Sequence 2.

True Damage, caused by skills below Sequence 2, was almost impossible to heal.

True Pain could make any Sequence 3 roll over in pain.

True Tracking made the launched bee sting impossible to avoid.

Finally, the True Bee Sting had the effect of making the bee sting as hard to get rid of as a bone-attaching cancer.

Rosen walked to the window of the mysterious study and looked outside. At this time, at least hundreds of Sequence 3s had gathered in Totem Canyon and were searching for him everywhere. After suffering a loss, Chinon seemed to have learned his lesson, so this time they sent a large number of Sequence 3s to search for his traces and hunt him down. As for Chinon himself, he probably went all out to create and arm a new Sequence 3 divine clone, and then hid in the dark, acting carefully.

Rosen had originally planned to leave, as it would be difficult to deal with so many Sequence 3 demigods. The divine clone that Chinon created with all his strength would surely be much more powerful and difficult to deal with than the previous one. But now, with the Two-Dimensional Ash Bee, Rosen was ready to make Chinon pay the price this time.
