Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 56 The Rat God Descends
Chapter 56

"The hidden storyline has been successfully activated..."

Baron Kaman said excitedly, feeling the divine aura within the gray ratman's spiritual link.

Even for a direct descendant of a noble family like him, divinity was not a top-tier resource that he was qualified to access.

However, without divinity, he could not establish a divine domain, so on his first day as a Sequence 7, he began to plan ahead.

The progenitor of the gray ratmen was only a demigod, and a demigod whose true form had already perished.

Therefore, even during the heyday of the Gray Ratmen, not every Gray Ratmen could summon the Progenitor through blood sacrifice.

The Battle of Spiral Harbor was crucial to the last naval power of the Grey Ratmen, so in history, the Grey Ratmen progenitor granted this place the right to a blood sacrifice. The Grey Ratmen leader who successfully descended with divine power back then inflicted truly devastating damage on the Blazing Shadow Pirate Alliance.

Although the Gray Ratmen eventually went extinct, the spirit of their progenitor still slumbers deep within the spirit world.

Later, this history transformed into the Spirit Realm, and the lineage of Grand Duke Blazing Shadow frequently used the gray ratmen within the Spirit Realm to harm the gray ratmen progenitor of the Spirit World.

Unlock hidden storylines multiple times, then slay the progenitor of the gray ratmen in the spirit realm to seize divinity.
Later, as the sheep were exploited more, the Gray Rat Man progenitor almost never descended with divine power again.

The greatest value of the entire Spirit Realm disappeared, and its level dropped to Sequence 7, which is why the Spirit Realm fell into the hands of the Hunter's Guild.

Afterwards, many families tried to unlock hidden storylines to guide the arrival of the Gray Ratman Ancestor, but without exception, they all failed.

Kaman is confident in unlocking the hidden storyline of the divine descent this time entirely because he unexpectedly obtained a rat tooth from the progenitor of the gray ratmen.

Don't underestimate this single tooth; it was very important to the ancestors of the gray rat people.

If the progenitor of the gray ratmen could obtain this tooth and combine it with his own divinity, he could completely sacrifice his demigod transcendent sequence and successfully reincarnate as a low-sequence gray ratman, carrying his divinity and relying on the rat tooth.

If it were during the height of the Gray Ratmen's power, their progenitors, with their faith and offerings, would never have done this.

After all, the price to pay for reincarnation is simply too high.

However, the Gray Ratmen have now been wiped out in the outside world, and the Gray Ratmen ancestor has no better choice but to descend into the Spirit Realm with his divinity to try to seize the Rat Tooth and be reborn.

Of course, limited by the level of the Spirit Realm, the power that the Gray Ratman Ancestor can descend with will not exceed Sequence 7 at most.

Now, all he needs to do is kill the progenitor of the gray ratmen to obtain enough divinity to become the lord of the divine realm.

Kaman crushed the communication crystal in his hand, and the human beings who had reached Sequence 7 gradually gathered over.

After the last Sequence 7 arrived, Kaman immediately led the team to the deepest part of Spiral Harbor, where the Gray Ratman Temple was located.

At this very moment, inside the temple, the progenitor of the gray rat people has successfully possessed the statue and completed his descent.

Seeing the desperate gray ratman leaders below, the Gray Ratman Ancestor manipulated the softened statue's body to attack the gray ratman leaders.

The leader of the gray ratmen, who was completely unprepared for the progenitor's attack, was instantly pierced in the heart by the progenitor's claws.

The Sequence 7 ability, Bloodlust, was activated, and the Gray Ratman leader held in the hands of the Gray Ratman Progenitor instantly turned into a dried-up corpse.

"Squeak squeak squeak... Why did the Ancestor kill him?"

"Is he a traitor?"

"Something's wrong, the progenitor wants to kill us all..."

Finally realizing the intentions of the Gray Ratman progenitor, the Gray Ratman leader began to flee frantically without any intention of fighting back.

Both are Sequence 7, and both possess the highest Sequence 7 abilities.

However, the Gray Rat Man progenitor had a higher skill level and a deeper level of control and application of skills.

Furthermore, by harnessing divine power to wield extraordinary abilities, the power of all skills can be increased several times over.

In this situation, even if all the Gray Rat leaders attacked together, they would only face certain death. The Gray Rat Ancestor pursued closely behind, relentlessly draining the Gray Rat leaders of their blood with his bloodlust.

The blood, brimming with immense life force, quickly made the statue of the Gray Rat Man's progenitor more and more like a real living being.

After the last Gray Ratman leader turned into a mummified corpse, the Gray Ratman progenitor sensed his own rat teeth rapidly approaching.

In a rat trail several meters wide, the progenitor of the gray rat people and Kaman's group of Sequence 7 met face to face.

"If you take another step forward, I'll destroy your rat teeth."

Kaman threatened, raising a palm-sized rat tooth in his hand; a ring on his finger emitted undisguised spatial fluctuations.

Before the progenitor of the gray ratmen killed him and took the rat tooth, he was absolutely certain that he could destroy the rat tooth with the help of extraordinary artifacts.

"Human, what do you want from me that drew me to this spiritual realm?"

The progenitor of the gray rat people suppressed his impulse and asked.

“You strip away your divinity and downgrade to Sequence 8. Let’s have a fair duel. I want divinity, you want rat teeth. The winner gets everything.”

Kaman immediately stated his terms.

The progenitor of the gray rat people hesitated for a moment, weighed the gains and losses, and began to strip away his own divinity.

He knew what these humans wanted, and if he could obtain rat teeth through direct trade, he wouldn't mind sacrificing a portion of his divinity.

However, he knew that this human dared not make a deal with him, as helping a demigod from another race to be reborn through a deal would be a serious crime of treason for the human.

Therefore, it can only be a fair hunt: the living get what they want, and the dead lose everything.

Even with only Sequence 8 transcendent level remaining, he was confident he could deal with these humans.

Of course, these humans were also confident in defeating him, otherwise they wouldn't have risked their lives to threaten him into a duel.

The moment the power of the Gray Ratman progenitor waned to Sequence 8, it struck first without warning.

Dozens of gray rat-man progenitors instantly appeared in the rat tunnel, and the fur on each of them stood up like steel needles shooting out in all directions. However, the prepared human Sequence 7 also deployed their respective defensive measures.

Kaman put the rat tooth into his spatial ring, and his spiritual energy surged, transforming him into a Sequence 7 dimensional cat.

He is a gourmet in the gourmet sequence, capable of transforming into an extraordinary life form of the same sequence as the ingredients he consumes.

The time it takes for the same ingredient to transform depends on how many carefully prepared delicacies it has eaten.

Kaman has eaten seven kinds of delicacies made from ingredients taken from the Dimensional Cat, so he can only transform into the Dimensional Cat for a maximum of seventy seconds. This is not his strongest transformation, nor is it the longest transformation, but it is definitely the most effective transformation against the Gray Ratman sequence.

The Dimensional Cat's ability to see through space allowed Kaman to instantly lock onto the true form of the Gray Rat Man's progenitor.

He dodged the Gray Ratman's selfless attack with a dimensional teleportation and appeared directly behind the human camp, pouncing on the Gray Ratman progenitor who had emerged from the ground. At the same time, the remaining human superhumans were also fighting with the Gray Ratman progenitor's clone.

……

The opening of the hidden storyline at Spiral Harbor directly led to earth-shattering changes in the entire Spirit Realm.

The pirate alliance, having discovered that the Gray Ratmen's counterattack had completely ceased, has tentatively dispatched pirates to land.

Rosen, who had been hiding in the supply warehouse, made several attempts to probe the area and discovered that the Sequence 7 guards had completely disappeared, and there were no gray ratmen coming to move supplies. He immediately seized the opportunity to move all the remaining supplies from the supply warehouse.

Rosen realized that something drastic must have happened to the Gray Ratmen, and the only ones who could cause the plot change were himself and other human superhumans.

So after leaving the supply warehouse, Rosen carefully explored Spiral Harbor.

With his extraordinary five senses weakening other perceptions and enhancing his hearing, he quickly heard the commotion coming from the depths of Spiral Harbor. He then cautiously used Shadow Cloak to get closer and soon arrived near the battlefield. After entering the mysterious study, he remotely controlled the God-Slaying Crossbow to approach the battlefield two corners away.
