Death Sovereign

There were five people in total. The leader was a Red-Haired Beauty with delicate features and domineering eyes like lightning. She wore a purple robe embroidered with tree branches, vines, silver snakes, and other patterns.

Behind her followed a White-Haired Elder, wearing a green robe. The old man had a kind face, gentle eyes, and always wore a kind smile.

Behind the old man were a slender man and woman. The man had a cold face and wore a golden robe, while the woman wore a silver robe.

In addition to the four people, there was also a Bald Man whose body was covered with strange patterns.

"Yibai'er!"

Andres was startled, recognizing the Bald Man as Yibai'er, the King of the Abyss Plane. He hadn't expected Yibai'er to appear here, much less that he would be with those four people.

As soon as the four people, led by the Red-Haired Beauty, appeared, the system in Andres's mind was triggered.

"Target: Ophelia."

"Talents: Death Rule Upper God (Asura), Water Law Highgod (Asura), Main Godhead Level Body, Innate Divine Ability 'Death Coil'."

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desire): Heart of the Netherworld".

"Completion condition: Help Ophelia obtain the Heart of Storms."

"Completion Rewards: Death Rule Upper God (Asura), Water Law Highgod (Asura), Main Godhead Level Body, and one of the following Innate Divine Ability: 'Death Coil'"

"Target: The Youming."

"Talent: Life Rule Upper God (Asura), Innate Divine Ability 'Ghost Soul'."

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): None."

"Completion conditions: None."

"Completion Reward: One of the following: Life Rule Upper God (Asura) or the Innate Divine Ability 'Ghost Soul'".

The Red-Haired Beauty is the Death Sovereign in the original work, while the White-Haired Elder behind her is her symbiotic fruit tree— the Netherworld Main God in the original work.

As for the man and woman behind them, they are two giant snakes living on the bodies of the Death Sovereign and the Netherworld Main God, respectively. The man is called "Gold" and the woman is called "Silver".

Ophelia occupied the Teleportation Array deep in the Nether Sea, and Iron Saber Castle had long since gathered information about her. Therefore, although they had not officially met, Andres already knew what she looked like.

"Sigh, I didn't want to run into you, but I still did," Andres helplessly.

Although he was not afraid of the Death Sovereign, he preferred to avoid trouble. If he could smoothly wait for the Heart of the Netherworld to mature and then return to Iron Saber Gorge, it would certainly be better than starting another conflict.

Ophelia looked up at the Heart of the Netherworld, then turned her gaze to Andres.

"I heard from those who fled that there is a terrifyingly powerful being here who has seized the Heart of the Netherworld. I didn't expect it to be you, Andres. It's one thing for your Iron Saber Castle to be gathering intelligence in the Netherworld, but you also have to extend your hand here. What? You don't take the strongmen of my Netherworld seriously?" Ophelia's tone was unfriendly.

As they both occupied a Teleportation Array, Ophelia also knew something about Andres.

There are no Plane Battlefield in this era, and the number of powerful individuals is far less than in the original story. Even fewer powerful individuals venture into other dimensions, so there is not much communication between different dimensions. For many Six-star Demons and even Seven-star Demon, they are unaware of how many powerful individuals exist in other dimensions.

However, for beings like Andres and Ophelia who have already reached the pinnacle of the Four Supreme Planes, they pay close attention to other planes' powerhouses of the same level as themselves. Even if they have never met them, they will know what they look like or have seen related Shadow Projection Crystal Ball.

Therefore, Ophelia recognized Andres as soon as she saw him.

Andres smiled and said, "Ophelia, I will not underestimate the power of the Netherworld. After today, I will set off to return to Hell."

Ophelia said coldly, "You may leave, but you must leave the Heart of the Netherworld behind."

Andres still smiled and said, "That won't do. I've already bound it to you with my blood; it's mine now."

"Release it immediately," Ophelia said bluntly.

"No." Andres's smile remained unchanged, but his words were firm.

"Then you can stay here with us!"

As soon as Ophelia finished speaking, a thick gray mist surged from her body, forming a giant gray hand that slammed down on Andres as if to crush Andres like an ant.

Andres stood up from the ground, his right hand forming a palm blade with his five fingers together, and slashed at the gray hand.

"Sizzle"

The collision of the two created a spatial rift tens of meters long.

The gray hand was shattered, and Andres was also sent flying backward by the shockwave.

"Call"

Andres suddenly realized something was wrong behind him. Ophelia had appeared behind him at some point and was about to punch him in the face with her pink fist.

Andres flipped his hand and drew Purple Longsword, holding it horizontally in front of him.

"Bang!"

Ophelia's seemingly soft fist struck the longsword, yet it unleashed astonishing force, sending Andres flying back several meters.

Andres looked down at the weapon in his hand and noticed that cracks had appeared on the blade.

His heart sank. He had clearly seen Ophelia attack earlier that she wasn't wearing gauntlets, meaning Ophelia was fighting his Highgod Artifact bare-handed.

"She shattered my Highgod Artifact with a single punch. Could it be that Ophelia has already raised her physical strength to the level of Sovereign Artifact?"

What Andres feared most was Ophelia's Innate Divine Ability and her Main God Artifact Body.

The original work did not mention the exact effects of the Death Sovereign's innate Innate Divine Ability, but as the oldest life form in the Netherworld, her Innate Divine Ability must be quite formidable.

As for the Main God Artifact Body, it is even more troublesome. In the era before the arrival of the Sovereign Spark, having the Main God Artifact Body means absolutely invincible material defense, and there will also be a bonus in material attack.

Although the Four Divine Beasts and Uthered that Andres encountered before also possessed physical talents at the level of Sovereign Artifact, they had not yet fully developed them.

If Ophelia has truly developed her physical talents, then she will be invincible.

With a body at the level of Sovereign Artifact, her physical defense is invincible, and in addition, she is skilled in the Death Law and is adept at dealing with the soul.

Andres was utterly helpless against her.

Of course, it's only been one encounter, so it's not possible to fully determine Ophelia's physical strength.

Andres put the broken Purple Longsword into his Space Ring, and then took out a sword-shaped Highgod Artifact from it.

This is a Cross Longsword that glows white. Over the years, he has killed many powerful figures, and his Space Ring contains countless sword-shaped Highgod Artifact, so he doesn't have to worry about weapons.

"Let me test whether you truly possess a body at the level of Sovereign Artifact." Andres narrowed his eyes, his gaze as cold as a knife.
