Battle of the Sovereigns

"Brother, he took the Sovereign Spark." Lius transmitted his voice to Riding.

He and Bowen entered the Spatial Turbulence from different parts of Hell, heading towards the location of the Bifu Continent. Just then, they saw Andres's Fire Lord God Clone taking away the Fire Lower-level Sovereign Spark from the Spatial Turbulence.

Upon hearing Lius's telepathic message, Riding's expression darkened further.

"Louis, you don't need this Sovereign Spark anymore, give it to us," Riding said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Why would I do that?" Andres chuckled.

Riding's gaze was icy, his tone threatening. "Do you see clearly? It's three against one now."

"Snort!"

Andres's face instantly turned cold. "You three Lower Sovereign dare to threaten me?"

Riding narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice to Bowen and the others. "Something's not right. How does this guy know that we've all refined Lower-level Sovereign Spark? When I scanned him with my Divine Sense, I couldn't tell what level of Sovereign he was. How does he know our situation?"

Bowen speculated, "Could it be because higher-level Sovereign can see the rank of lower-level Sovereign, while lower-level Sovereign cannot see higher-level Sovereign, just like Demigod cannot detect Middle God?"

When the Sovereign Spark descended, the Overgod mentioned that Sovereign were divided into upper, middle and lower ranks, but did not say how much the difference was or what the distinction was. Therefore, Riding and others could only guess.

What they didn't know was that, unlike the Godhood, at the Sovereign stage, Lower Sovereign could also use their Divine Sense to detect Mid-level Sovereign and High Lord God. There was no situation where different levels prevented them from detecting each other.

As for the refinement of the Sovereign Spark, the Sovereign's Divine Sense cannot detect it. When Sovereign, they can only know that the other is also Sovereign, but they cannot know what level of Sovereign it is.

Andres knew that they had all refined the Lower-level Sovereign Spark because he had the memories of the original work and the information about Iron Saber Castle.

"Regardless, judging from this guy's tone, he's either Mid-level Sovereign or High Lord God. Before we figure out the differences between Sovereign, we shouldn't rush into a falling out with him," Riding said cautiously.

Bowen also said, "That's right. Second Sister is not Sovereign yet. Our Combined Innate Divine Ability are unbalanced and cannot be used. Without Combined Innate Divine Ability, it is best not to rashly fight against high-level Sovereign."

After the four reached an agreement, Riding softened his attitude and said gently to Andres, "Louis, we really want this Fire Lower-level Sovereign Spark. You can name your conditions, and as long as we can meet them, we will not refuse."

Unsure of his chances in the battle, Riding decided to make a deal.

Andres chuckled inwardly upon hearing this, as it suited his purposes perfectly. He had originally intended to give the Lower-level Sovereign Spark to Nimo, and now he could not only give it away legitimately but also get some benefits in return.

He thought for a moment and transmitted his voice, "Alright, here's what we'll do. I know that you Four Divine Beasts have a special move, which is your Combined Innate Divine Ability. I'm very curious about it. Tell me how to use this special move, and in addition, each of you four will give me 100 drops of essence blood. If you agree, I will give you this Sovereign Spark."

He knew that the four of them, including Riding, had spent a lot of time researching the Combined Innate Divine Ability. He didn't want to spend that much time researching it. As long as he got the method of use, he could directly unleash the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts once he completed Nimo's Binding Quest.

As for the 100 drops of essence blood from each person, that was just a pretext he casually mentioned on a whim.

"How to use the Combined Innate Divine Ability? And what about our essence blood?"

Nimo was furious when he heard Andres's telepathic message.

"Brother, we absolutely cannot agree to this!"

Bowen also said, "Brother, our Combined Innate Divine Ability is our trump card, we must not tell him."

Lius scratched his head and said, "Well, I don't think it matters. He doesn't have our Innate Divine Ability. Even if we tell him, he can't use them."

Nimo said, "Third brother, you're too straightforward. Besides the method of using the Combined Innate Divine Ability, he also wants the blood essence of all four of us. He obviously wants to use our blood essence to research our Innate Divine Ability. Although I've never heard of anyone doing this before, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

Reading his younger siblings' discussion, Riding frowned in thought, then gritted his teeth and said to Andres, "Fine, I promise you!"

"Big brother!"

Nimo and the others became anxious.

Riding transmitted his voice, "The most important thing now is to make Second Sister a Sovereign. Only in this way can our Combined Innate Divine Ability be used. If Second Sister doesn't become Sovereign, what's the point of keeping this method? Alright, I've decided, don't say any more."

Bowen sighed helplessly, while Nimo gritted her teeth inwardly, hating Andres to the core. However, she was afraid of being noticed by Andres, so she could only lower her head and harbor her hatred in her heart.

"In that case, let us swear an oath in the name of the Overgod," Andres said calmly.

Having made his decision, Riding did not hesitate and immediately swore an oath in the name of the Overgod.

"How is it?" Riding asked Andres.

"Good."

Andres was very satisfied. He took out the Fire Lower-level Sovereign Spark from his Space Ring and threw it at Nimo.

Nimo's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew towards the Sovereign Spark.

Sudden--

"Haha, this Sovereign Spark is mine!"

The laughter grew louder as it approached, and a white beam of light instantly appeared from the distant horizon, attempting to seize the Sovereign Spark. It was a handsome White-robed Youth, with dazzling long golden hair dancing in the wind, and his body radiating a rich aura of light.

"The Sovereign!"

Andres, Riding, and the other two immediately sensed the strength of the newcomer and attacked simultaneously.

Riding and the other two were worried about Nimo's safety, while Andres was worried that Nimo would be killed by the suddenly appearing Light Lord God. A Commander was no different from an ant in front of the true form of Sovereign.

Once Nimo falls, his Binding Quest will never be completed.

As expected, the arriving Sovereign Light didn't take Nimo seriously at all. His dazzling white light shone wildly in all directions, and those powerful Highgod who were originally vying with Nimo for the Sovereign Spark instantly exploded and died.

Andres acted decisively, blocking the attack for Nimo.

Upon seeing this, Riding and his two companions launched a direct attack on the Sovereign Light.

A massive phantom appeared behind the three of them simultaneously, and they unleashed their Innate Divine Ability at the same time.

"Spatial Confinement!"

"Tiger Roar!"

"Dragon's Roar!"

An invisible gale swept past, but it had no effect on the Sovereign Light.

"Spatial Confinement" and "Dragon's Roar" did have some effect, freezing the Sovereign Light in place.

Riding and the others immediately unleashed their strongest moves, but before they could even land on the Sovereign Light, the effects of "Spatial Confinement" and "Dragon's Roar" were broken by the Sovereign Light. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he blasted away Riding and the others' attacks.

"So strong!" The hearts of the three, Riding, sank immediately. Although the exchange was brief, they had already realized that the gap in strength between the two sides was huge. Even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for this Sovereign Light.

"Riding, what I've refined is Mid-level Sovereign Spark. If you Four Divine Beasts were to unleash your Combined Innate Divine Ability, I might be wary. But if it's just the three of you, you're no match for me," the Sovereign of Light chuckled.

"Gudrian, it's you." Andres recognized the person.

This Sovereign Light was originally a famous and powerful Commander on the Kaluosha Continent.

"Oh? You recognize me?" Gudrian glanced at Andres, but found him completely unfamiliar. He didn't remember such a person being among the Commander rulers of Hell.

"Forget it, who cares who he is. I refined Light Middle Godhead. Among the Sovereign Spark of Hell, neither the High Godhead nor the Mid-level Sovereign Spark have fire element. This guy is most likely Lower Sovereign and no match for me," Gudrian thought to himself.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the surging Fire Element Sovereign Power converged. Taking advantage of the brief exchange between the Sovereign, Nimo refined the Sovereign Spark and became a Lower Sovereign.

The system in Andres's mind was also triggered, completing the Binding Quest with Nimo.

"Good!"

Andres was overjoyed and immediately chose the Innate Divine Ability "Nirvana" as his reward.

"We've finally gathered the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts. All that's left is figuring out how to use Combined Innate Divine Ability." Andres looked at Riding.

Riding and the other two were also happy for Nimo. Bowen even provocatively said to Gudrian, "You said you wanted to try out the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts? We also want to try out how strong the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts will be after we become Sovereign!"

Gudrian frowned, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Based on the brief exchange just now, he roughly estimated that he was about a hundred times weaker than Riding and the others.

" At the Highgod stage, the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the four of them is terrifying, with an amplification that could be more than ten thousand times. I wonder how powerful it will be at the Sovereign stage. If it's also more than ten thousand times stronger, then..."

The more Gudrian thought about it, the stronger his desire to retreat became.

"Forget it, we've just become Sovereign, there's no need to take risks. Besides, they're not the only Lower Sovereign."

"Whoosh"

Without a word, Gudrian decisively retreated.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Riding and his companions immediately made their move. The enormous phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts appeared behind them, and the four Innate Divine Ability were perfectly combined, as if the world had changed, forming a hazy circular light that entered Gudrian's body.

Gudrian's body trembled, and then he fell to the ground. At the same time, a Light Middle Godhead and a Highgodhead of Fire floated out.

A Mid-level Sovereign has fallen.

"Big brother!"

The Four Divine Beasts were very excited. This was the first time they had used their Combined Innate Divine Ability since becoming Sovereign. They themselves did not know how much power this move would still have after becoming Sovereign. After all, not all Innate Divine Ability would improve with the user's strength. For example, the God Devour Rat's "God Devouring" was a great weapon at the Godhood level, but it was nothing special at the Sovereign level.

Upon unleashing their Combined Innate Divine Ability, the Four Divine Beasts discovered that this move still possessed more than ten thousand times the power. How could they not be excited?

"Our Combined Innate Divine Ability is enough to kill Mid-level Sovereign. I wonder if it will be effective against High Lord God," Riding couldn't help but wonder.

"Gudrian is about a hundred times stronger than us. He is Mid-level Sovereign. By that logic, the difference between High Lord God and Mid-level Sovereign should also be a hundred times stronger. Our Combined Innate Divine Ability can also kill High Lord God!" Bowen transmitted his voice to the other Four Divine Beasts. His battle with Gudrian just now allowed him to roughly judge the difference in strength between Lower Sovereign and Mid-level Sovereign.

"Big brother, we can hunt down High Lord God and refine their Sovereign Spark for Gaisreisen and the others. Then, who will be a match for our Four Divine Beasts Family?" Nimo excitedly transmitted his voice.

The Four Divine Beasts were engrossed in their game when Andres's voice rang out at an inopportune moment, interrupting their enjoyment.

"Congratulations, everyone. It's time for you to fulfill your promises," Andres said slowly.

The four of Riding, including Riding didn't speak, but instead took Gudrian's Light Middle Godhead. Then he smiled and said to Andres, "Of course, we have made an oath to the Overgod and will not break it. However, the essence blood is also very important to us, and it will not be easy to take it out. Please give us some time to prepare."

"Big brother, are we really going to give him the method to use the Combined Innate Divine Ability and our essence blood?" Nimo was extremely reluctant.

Andres's theft of her Sovereign Spark had already angered her, but his attempt to use it as a bargaining chip only fueled her rage.

Riding transmitted his voice, "We have already made Supreme God's Oath, how can we break it? However, we can take it back now that we have given it."

"Take it back?"

Nimo and the other two were taken aback.

"As long as we give him the method to use the Combined Innate Divine Ability and his essence blood, then we will have fulfilled our oath. As for what we do after fulfilling it, we will no longer be bound by the Supreme God's Oath."

Nimo and the other two understood what Riding meant.

"Big brother, you mean..."

"That's right. After fulfilling the Supreme God's Oath, we will use our Combined Innate Divine Ability on him. The fact that he can remain so calm after seeing us kill Gudrian means that he is most likely High Lord God. Let him be the first High Lord God we kill!"

"But apart from Second Sister, we've all already used our Innate Divine Ability twice." Bowen frowned.

Riding transmitted his voice, "So we need to stall for some time until our Innate Energy recovers before we make our move!"

"Okay, big brother, I agree to do it this way!" Nimo responded immediately.

She hated Andres to the core and couldn't wait to kill Andres.

Andres was unaware of the Divine Sense communication between the Four Divine Beasts, but he was confident in his own strength and therefore not afraid of any tricks they might play.

He calmly said, "If extracting the essence blood takes time, just tell me how to use the Combined Innate Divine Ability first. There's no need to prepare for that."

"This..." Riding's eyes darted around, and he hesitated.

"What? This won't work either?" Adres's face turned cold.

"Sure, of course no problem." Riding replied immediately. Before his Innate Energy recovered, he dared not anger Andres, so he immediately transmitted the method of using his Combined Innate Divine Ability to Andres.
