Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 100 The Archipelago of the Mechanical Spirits
Chapter 99

At the Blue Whale Guild City Gourmet Guild, Rosen smiled happily as he looked at the tickets he had just received.

The major guilds, especially the Hunter Guild, control the majority of the Spirit Realm.

However, most of the truly high-quality spirit realms are located in guilds within the four major civilization sequences.

If Rosen hadn't used his noble status, he wouldn't have been able to buy this Spirit Realm ticket from the Gourmet Guild.

【MechSpirit Islands: Spirit Realm】

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Synopsis: A mysterious archipelago in the ocean ruled by followers of an evil god, inhabited by mechanical spirits that feed on humans...]

The ticket to the Sequence 6 Spirit Realm cost Rosen a full 500,000 Spirit Crystals.

There are two reasons why it is expensive. The first is that this spiritual realm is dominated by human civilization.

The Fishman's Lament is dominated by Fishmen, while the Spiral Sea Battle is dominated by Gray Ratmen. The source of these spiritual realms is alien civilization, and it is almost impossible for humans to control them. They have been destructively exploiting these spiritual realms.

Therefore, the tickets for this type of spirit realm are very low in value, while the tickets for a spirit realm like the Mechanical Spirit Islands are very high in value.

Because entering the extraordinary sequence within it means that all gains are made at the expense of the spiritual realm's foundation.

Therefore, at least half of the value of the ticket's spiritual crystals must be artificially replenished to the Mechanical Spirit Islands after the Spirit Realm closes.

Normally, a single trip to the Mechanical Spirit Islands by a transcendental character would yield a decent amount of spiritual crystals worth tens of thousands.

The harvest was so small, yet the entrance fee was so expensive; of course, it's because the specialties of the Spirit Realm are quite precious.

The Mech Islands are rich in rare skill crystals, and there is also a small chance of obtaining special resources that are beneficial to the growth of spiritual strength.

The common understanding in the human world is that people want to make money to hunt ashes in the alien spirit realm.

If you want to quickly improve your strength, then enter the spiritual realm, which is dominated by human civilization.

Rosen waited five days before finally managing to sell enough tickets to open the Spirit Realm of the Mech Spirit Islands once.

The Gourmet Guild only had twenty members in total.

The vast majority of them are sequence 6, there are only a few sequence 7, and as for sequence 8, there is only one, Rosen.

The staff saw that it was time to open the spirit realm.

Suddenly, a spatial vortex filled with boundless malice appeared on the wall of the waiting room. Based on the location of the identity card, Rosen, who was waiting at home, was instantly captured by the entrance to the spirit realm and pulled into the spirit realm.

In a flash, Rosen found himself in a desolate cemetery.

The piercing cawing of crows echoed around him, and he instinctively slipped into the shadows and teleported away.

Just where he had disappeared, the broken metal sword flashed through the air and missed its target.

The broken metal sword turned in mid-air and continued its pursuit of Rosen, whose powerful stealth ability in Shadow Cloak was completely ineffective.

Faced with the broken metal sword attacking again, Rosen summoned Nightmare Slime to use as a shield and rammed it.

The Nightmare Slime struggled with its mouth agape in terror, only to have the broken metal sword pierce its round mouth all the way to its stomach. Moments later, with its mouth bound by Nightmare Chains, the Nightmare Slime, utterly despondent, began to digest the mechanical spirit within its belly.

This island of mechanical spirits is covered with a special metal, the mechanical spirit alloy.

Weapons made from this alloy are inherently endowed with a powerful spiritual capacity.

By capturing extraordinary life forms and infusing their souls into mechanical spirit weapons, the Mechanical Spirit Islands even forged a top-tier semi-divine artifact of Sequence 1 at its most glorious moment. However, the glory of the Mechanical Spirit Islands depended on Mechanical Spirit Alloy.

Like the decline of the Blazing Shadow Principality, the Mech Spirit Islands also gradually declined due to the dwindling availability of Mech Spirit Alloy. At this time, the Mech Spirit Islands came under the scrutiny of the evil god's followers.

The Gourmet Guild has no record of what exactly happened.

All that is known is that everyone on the Mech Spirit Islands is cursed by an evil god. Not only are they unable to leave the Mech Spirit Islands, but they are also attacked by Mech Spirit weapons at night. After all humans are killed, their lives and souls are captured by the Mech Spirit weapons.

The surviving humans tried everything to save themselves, but only ended up heading towards their doom in despair.

Although the Mechs Islands have fallen into decline, they have been targeted by an evil god, and normally the world government would come to their aid.

However, no rescue ever came, as the Mechs Isles mysteriously disappeared from the human world.

When it was rediscovered, the Mech Spirit Islands had become a spiritual realm.

Moreover, it is very strange. Normally, a civilization's history will give birth to at most one spirit realm. Occasionally, multiple spirit realms will be born, but that is because the histories of different regions have become intertwined, resulting in multiple spirit realms with overlapping backgrounds.

However, the Spirit Realm of the Mechanical Spirit Islands has already been known to have several thousand in existence.

The lowest sequence is 6, and the highest can even reach sequence 1.

Of the many spirit realms on the Mech Spirit Islands, many have naturally been completely conquered and controlled by powerful humans.

Even so, the Mech Spirit Islands remain an unsolved mystery.

It seems that the storylines of the spirit realms within each of the Mech Spirit Islands are somewhat different.

It's just a Sequence 9 weapon, Nightmare Slime should be able to digest it in half an hour.

However, the gluttony that should have brought benefits was as if nothing had been eaten at all.

Rosen seemed to be deep in thought, realizing that everything on the Mechanical Spirit Islands might not actually exist.

The most widespread theory at present is that only one of the Spirit Realms in the Spirit Islands is a real Spirit Realm generated from the Spirit Islands, while the rest of the Spirit Islands are all projections that are so real that they are indistinguishable from illusions, and are closer to illusions than ordinary Spirit Realms.

So the Nightmare Slime spent ages digesting with gluttony, only to end up eating nothing but air.

However, nothing is absolute. The broken metal sword that the Nightmare Slime ate was fake, but there are also real mechanical spirit weapons on the Mechanical Spirit Islands. Humans who successfully killed these mechanical spirit weapons even obtained special extraordinary essence.

Whether the magical weapons are real or not is impossible to tell, so if you encounter a real one, you have to go on a killing spree.

The more you kill, the greater the chance of encountering a real mechanical spirit weapon.

Rosen entered the Void Gallery and released his self-portrait, then took out his magic brush and began to draw circles around himself, creating a prison-like environment.

A circle with a radius of one hundred meters encloses the adjacent cemetery.

Standing in the center of the circle, Rosen began to unleash his spiritual perception without restraint.

The spiritual perception of the extraordinary sequence belongs to the higher level of spiritual perception.

It can perceive everything within the spiritual realm in a comprehensive, seamless, and meticulous manner.

If the enemy's spirituality is far weaker than one's own, it is difficult to detect the spiritual perception surrounding oneself.

Conversely, if the enemy is more spiritual, then releasing spiritual perception is equivalent to actively lighting a lamp in the darkness.

This is why, even with spiritual perception, extraordinary humans still need to further enhance their senses, such as vision.

At this moment, Rosen's spiritual perception was weakened to Sequence 9 in intensity and remained at Sequence 7 in range. For all mechanical spirits above Sequence 9 within a radius of several thousand meters, this was equivalent to the most direct provocation.

With his God-like vision of spiritual perception, Rosen looked down upon the ever-growing number of mechanical spirits approaching.
