Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 86 Three Years of Self-Portrait

Chapter 85

Rosen opened his right hand, and a palm-sized blood-flame skull appeared in his palm.

He slapped the Bloodflame Skull against his forehead, and the Bloodflame Skull immediately merged into his skull, becoming a part of his body.

He then summoned the Void Gallery, casually releasing it to let the Bloodflame Skeleton merge into the void and disappear.

The Void Gallery, a spiritual crystal worth millions, can not only integrate into the skull to enhance his spiritual perception, but also integrate into the void interlayer to directly enter the spirit world, and even integrate into his divine domain to mutually strengthen each other.

Rosen's body vanished from reality and entered the divine realm, where he released the Void Gallery.

Through the divine realm, he quickly read all the attributes of the Void Gallery.

[Void Gallery: Extraordinary Architecture]

[Level: Sequence 8]

[Defense Strength: Sequence 6]

[Defense Level: Sequence 7]

[Attack Power: Sequence 8]

[Functional Buildings: Void Studio, Void Safe House, Gallery Maze]

[Special Features: Bone Frame, Human Skin Canvas, Human Blood Furnace]

Defense refers to the safe house, which can completely withstand a frontal assault from a Sequence 6.

Defense and attack power refer to the Gallery Maze, which can withstand a large amount of Sequence 7 damage and can easily deprive Sequence 8 of its life.

Functional architecture is easy to understand; it is the extraordinary characteristics that make the Void Gallery so valuable.

First of all, the bone frame and the human skin paper are easy to understand. His Void Gallery can produce these two Sequence 8 painting tools on its own. Using the human skin paper to paint and the bone frame to frame the painting can greatly enhance the extraordinary power of a spiritual painting.

Finally, the Human Blood Furnace allows the Void Gallery to share the power of Rosen's extraordinary bloodline.

This means that the Void Gallery can share the extraordinary power of the Nightmare Slime.

Not only can it gain the power to become intangible, but it can also directly enter nightmares and devour them.

It can even gain the gluttony talent of Nightmare Slime, thereby granting the Void Gallery a powerful gluttony evolution ability.

Rosen did not activate the Blood Furnace in front of Ulbert because he did not want others to know about his extraordinary bloodline.

He didn't even convert the Void Gallery into an innate skill; these were his deepest secrets that he couldn't let outsiders know.

Rosen integrated the Void Gallery into his skull, then manipulated the noble transcendent essence and nightmare slime transcendent bloodline within his own blood, guiding the power within to continuously wash over the Void Gallery. Gradually, the blood flames inside and outside the Void Gallery began to turn blackish-red and become active.

Rosen used the extraordinary essence that had been incorporated into the Divine Brush to integrate the Divine Brush into the Void Gallery.

In the instant the two merged, his spiritual perception reached the ancient tree of the artist sequence in the spirit world.

A golden leaf drifted down and merged into the Void Gallery, granting it the potential to evolve along with his extraordinary sequence.

At this moment, Rosen sensed the Void Gallery again and immediately felt that its connection with him had become even closer.

Initially, without refining the sequence runes within, the Void Gallery reminded him of his own hair and nails.

After refining the sequence runes, he felt as if his hands and feet were his own heart.

Now that the Human Blood Furnace has been activated and become part of his innate skills, the Void Gallery feels like it has become part of his mind and his spirit, a connection even closer than his hands, feet, and body.

The Void Gallery is already there; now Rosen needs a Void Album.

Any transcendent being who knows anything about the painter would not be foolish enough to easily enter the painter's empty gallery.

Therefore, painters mainly rely on the Void Album for daily combat, and the Void Gallery is mainly used for defense, counterattacks, and setting traps.

Unlike the Void Gallery, which has three qualities, the Void Book has only one quality.

Rosen took out some bones and human skin left over from building the Void Gallery and quickly went to the Art Designers' Chapter.

Art designers, specializing in creating extraordinary artifacts within the artist's catalog.

The pre-booked Sequence 7 art designer, after obtaining Lawson's bones and human skin, quickly added various extraordinary materials to create a picture book with the bones as the cover and the human skin as the pages. Lawson paid for this by paying 100,000 spiritual crystals.

The creation of the Void Album is not difficult; the main challenge is achieving a high degree of compatibility with the Void Gallery.

Once this requirement is met, creating a virtual catalog is a piece of cake for any art designer.

[Void Album: Extraordinary Artifact] [Rank: Sequence 8]

[Attribute: The Void Album can hold all of the artist's spiritual paintings and allows all spiritual paintings to be reused]

[Exceptional Trait: Affinity Enhancement - High affinity with the Void Gallery can significantly improve the attributes of self-portraits]

Rosen looked at the final extraordinary properties with satisfaction. Because it used the same materials as the Void Gallery, the Void Album naturally had a high affinity with the Void Gallery, and its enhancement of the self-portrait was naturally far greater than that of the ordinary Void Album.

Now that we have the Void Gallery and Void Album, it's time to master the final extraordinary skill, Self-Portrait.

Rosen returned to the Pseudo-Spirit Realm with the Void Album and immediately went to the Void Gallery's studio.

Rosen approached the wall, where skeleton frames and human skin paintings automatically grew out of it.

He took out his magic pen and quickly drew a sofa set.

The sofa he drew instantly materialized and was placed in the studio. Due to the nature of the virtual gallery, the sofa he drew could exist for at least a few months. Then he drew a series of furniture to decorate the studio, quickly arranging the empty studio.

Rosen then took down a piece of human skin canvas, laid it on the easel, and prepared to paint his self-portrait.

During the twenty days he spent creating the Void Gallery, he didn't rest either, purchasing the Self-Portrait skill book in advance and studying it carefully.

A self-portrait is not as simple as drawing a picture of yourself in front of a mirror. Unlike ordinary spiritual paintings, a self-portrait must also possess three special properties: permanent manifestation, perfect and real manifestation, and spiritual projection manifestation.

The magic pen in Rosen's hand transformed into a sketching pen, and the tip of the pen was inserted into a blood vessel to begin drawing blood from himself.

The blood seeped into the pencil lead, and the ferrous ions in the hemoglobin were quickly oxidized by the air to ferric ions, turning black. Then, a full-body sketch of himself without clothes was drawn on the human skin drawing paper.

Rosen spent a full six months in his studio before he finally finished this exquisitely detailed self-portrait sketch.

From head to toe, this sketch is so detailed that not a single eyebrow or hair is added or removed. If you magnify the drawing many times, you can even see that the skin texture and pores are drawn in detail.

Up to this point, it was only the front of the self-portrait. After Rosen activated the self-portrait, he immediately turned around in the painting.

In the painting, only the outline of his body can be seen after he turns around; his back remains blank.

Rosen spent another three months gradually drawing the back of his self-portrait.

It took a full nine months to complete the first step of this self-portrait.

At this point, the self-portrait is still a sketch version. It will need to be colored next. The quality of the paint used in the coloring process will determine the quality of the self-portrait. Rosen has prepared in advance the best paint for a self-portrait that can be used by a Sequence 8, worth 100,000 spiritual crystals.

Rosen spent another six months completing the coloring on the black and white background of the sketch.

At this moment, he in the painting looks like a three-dimensional living person.

But this was not the end; under his control, Rosen in the painting peeled off his own human skin.

After the skin was removed, his image in the painting became blank again.

Rosen began to draw muscles, blood vessels, bones, internal organs, and brains, etc. These did not require the same level of realism and detail as the appearance, but the closer they were to reality, the better the effect.

He painted for another year, and by then the figure in the painting was exactly the same as him, inside and out.

At this point, the painter's self-portrait was nearing completion.

The final step is to depict the painter's memories and sea of ​​consciousness within the painting.

For a painter, this last step is the most difficult.

However, for Rosen, he could take a shortcut and complete this final step as quickly as possible.

Because he possesses the extraordinary skill of the Mind Canvas, he can draw his own memories on the Mind Canvas, and then project and render the memories on the Mind Canvas onto his self-portrait. In this way, all he really needs to draw by hand is his sea of ​​consciousness.

Even though he took a shortcut in the last step, it still took Rosen half a year to draw the final stroke of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

It took Rosen two years and nine months to complete his perfect self-portrait.

[Self-Portrait (No Level): Perfectly replicates all the extraordinary powers of a painter of Sequence 8. A materialized self-portrait clone that can be regenerated from the painting after being summoned.]

In fact, other Sequence 8 painters would not have spent nearly three years painting their self-portraits.

Because the self-portrait of Sequence 8 needs to be redrawn in Sequence 7.

However, none of this was a problem for Rosen, because he had already prepared to transform his self-portrait into the second innate skill of Sequence 8. At that time, his self-portrait would grow and evolve along with the improvement of the extraordinary sequence.

Therefore, the more perfect his first self-portrait is, the better. The next self-portrait he redraws will at least be Sequence 3.
