Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 53 Resurrection (Please continue reading)
Chapter 53

In the municipal government staff dormitory, Le Corbusier, exhausted after a long day, quickly lay down and fell asleep.

During the day, because he had only recently awakened his psychic powers, he was subjected to intense training by the Yin Beasts every day.
Reality is completely different from imagination. He survived by the skin of his teeth to become a Nen user, but he didn't gain endless money, beautiful women, or high-ranking power. He just went from being a low-level gangster to a security guard in the city government.

Cobb was very unwilling, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Not long after falling asleep, Cobb had a nightmare, unable to escape the shadow cast by the Shadow Beast even in his dream.

When Rosen entered Cobb's dream, what he saw was Cobb's nightmare of being constantly beaten by the Shadow Beast.

It has to be said that the Shadow Beasts are really ugly. Even if ordinary people without talent manage to survive and become Nen users by forcibly awakening their Nen abilities, 99% of them will be novices with limited lifelong achievements, just like Cobb. This obviously cannot satisfy the World Mafia Alliance's thirst for power.

Thus, the Shadow Beast was born, which caused humans to mutate by fusing them with the genes of magical beasts.

The mutants born in this way possess greater vitality.

Forcibly opening the seminal vesicle increases the chances of successful conception.

A strong life force naturally leads to stronger Nen abilities.

Therefore, although the Shadow Beast is not a top-tier Nen user, it is far stronger than a novice.

However, the chances of successfully creating a mutant are very low, and without exception, all of them will retain characteristics of the monster.

So being ugly is one thing, but those who don't even look human are truly miserable.

Rosen's understanding of Yorknew City was superficial, so he wasn't in a hurry to get rid of Cobb.

By using Freddy's ability to manipulate Cobb's memories, Rosen quickly gained a better understanding of Yorkshire's gang.

Although gangsters don't mind sacrificing a large number of people to cultivate Nen users, forcibly ordering their underlings to undergo the life-or-death Nen awakening will only cause them to live in fear. Although gangsters are all weak and ordinary people, how can they rule the territory without them?

Therefore, the vast majority of the followers who are forced to start reciting mantras come from two types of people.

Those who made mistakes were either executed outright or attempted suicide to try and gamble.

Or perhaps it's a thirst for power, a willingness to take a gamble.

The latter is a very small minority. Cobb belongs to the category of those who committed capital crimes. He used his gang identity to collect extra protection money and even killed a tourist who came to visit Yokersin. All of these violated the rules of the Yokersin gang.

If every gang member did this, Yokesun would have been infamous long ago, and it wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now.

Without a certain status in the gang, you have to be qualified to do anything bad.

The rule of Youkexin is that money is everything. As long as the shop owner pays the protection fee, it's no problem for him to curse the ancestors of the gang members to their faces. However, if the protection fee is short by a single nun, he will sell his blood to make up for it.

The local gangs offer basic protection to tourists, ensuring their safety as long as they avoid remote areas.

It is precisely because the gangs here are very law-abiding that Yokohama, a city teeming with gangs, has become one of the most prosperous cities in the world, continuously attracting wealth from all directions.

This rule is good, and Rosen has no intention of breaking it.

There are no patrol officers in Yokesin; gang members have basically replaced the vast majority of civil servants.

If gangsters weren't considered unsuitable for economic development, Yoke Shin might not even need him as mayor or civil servant.

Cobb's memories were no longer of any value, so Rosen decided to make one last attempt.

He began to control Cobb's nightmares, which proved to be slightly more difficult than controlling the nightmares of ordinary people.

Clearly, after he converted Freddy's ability into Nen through the God Computer, the strength of this ability became equivalent to his own.

If the person experiencing the nightmare is far more powerful than him, he would likely have difficulty controlling their nightmare. Cobb was clearly not one of those people, so Rosen quickly controlled the demonic beast within the nightmare to kill Cobb.

At that moment, Cobb in reality also stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating.

However, unlike ordinary people who died in nightmares not long ago, Cobb's nightmares showed no signs of collapsing after his death.

Because of the Nen within Cobb's body, after his death, all of it flowed into his nightmares along with his soul.

Supported by the energies of the dead, the nightmare collapsed very slowly.

Rosen once again tried to erode the nightmare with the divine territory, and this time the nightmare that shrouded the edge of the territory instantly grew many times larger.

Even the corpse of Cobb, who was killed in the nightmare, stood up again and appeared in the divine realm.

When Cobb regained consciousness, he was startled. He could clearly remember dying at the hands of the Shadow Beast.

But somehow, he reappeared in this unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye.

"Can a Nen user who dies in a nightmare escape the nightmare and be reborn in the divine realm?"

Rosen watched as Cobb, lively and energetic, approached the Alchemy Castle, and attempted to lead the Divine Realm out of Yorkxin.

After returning to the mysterious study, Cobb did not disappear despite leaving the Hunter x Hunter Realm.

This means that Rosen has found a breakthrough in his plan to acquire the people of Yorknew City. However, this breakthrough is not very significant because there are too few Nen users, and he cannot kill everyone he sees. Moreover, it seems that Cobb is currently only in a spirit form.

Humans lose their physical bodies and become spirits; unless they become special spirits, their growth potential will be greatly reduced.

After all, humans are not born spiritual beings; without a body, the soul would lose its vessel.

Therefore, Cobb's future growth potential is very limited, and he has little potential for development.

In the blink of an eye, Cobb was crushed by the power of the divine realm.

The Lord of the Divine Realm can mobilize the power of the entire Divine Realm territory. At best, it can suppress the enemy; at worst, it can directly annihilate the enemy. Although the current Divine Realm territory is weak, Cobb is even weaker.

As Cobb's spirit dissipated, the divine realm gained some psychic power and spirituality.

The mixed mental energy was poured into the outer nightmares, while the spirituality was stored in the divine realm. The evolution of the divine realm required not only the absorption of various resources for building the world, but also the absorption of spirituality. The greatest source of gain was the killing of spirit beings.

Having figured out Freddy's Nen ability, Rosen gleaned some useful information from his own identity details.

Although his new identity, which replaced the original mayor, was merely a facade for the global mafia to develop the Youkexin economy, and although he was completely restricted by the mafia in terms of force, he had real power in terms of city management, and he had quite a few loyal and obedient subordinates.

Therefore, after Rosen made a few phone calls, the professional managers who assisted him in running the business immediately got busy.

Rosen's task for them was simple: to acquire materials related to rare magical beasts and some ancient artifacts.

Eating the meat of rare and powerful monsters can increase vitality, and its effects may not be worse than those of extraordinary creatures.

As for ancient artifacts, they may be imbued with spiritual power and have the potential to be transformed into extraordinary objects.

As the world's largest transit point for auction items, Yokersun will surely bring him some surprises if he is willing to spend the world's unique currency, the Jinni. Of course, this is only the work of a professional manager on the surface.

As for the few shady professional managers, Rosen ordered them to gather more valuable information.

Nuclear bombs are definitely unavailable in the Hunter x Hunter world, but the "Poor Man's Rose," which is used extensively by small countries and is known as the "poor man's nuclear bomb" but is actually a highly toxic bomb, should be easy for Jenny to acquire if he can find a way to get a few.
