Reverend Insanity, I've Become the Sovereign God, and the System Only Just Activated

Xena turned to look at Reynalds, "Are members of a few Seven-star Devil clans from the Four Divine Beast Family enough to bully my Xue Na Family like this?"

Within Red Maple Prefecture, there were ten large cities. Besides the cities, there were areas for bandits and some major powers.

Lost Lake was a very famous area within Red Maple Prefecture.

It was a stagnant lake, spanning tens of thousands of miles. The lake water was blood-red and churned ceaselessly year-round. To the north of the lake was an endless Red Leaf Forest. To the southern edge of the lake was a snow mountain, which emitted steam, a peculiar sight.

At the bottom of this Lost Lake lay a massive city, Lost City.

For God-level powerhouses, there was little difference between living on land or in water.

Outside Lost City, not far away.

Lota and Kakqi, along with the crowd entering the city, strolled leisurely. Here, they could see special fish swimming in the distance. Those with even a little talent were Saint Domain level fish.

In the Divine Plane, life forms reached Saint Domain level upon adulthood. Even newly born life forms had the potential to reach Saint Domain level in their souls, otherwise, they could not withstand the pressure of the Divine Plane.

This was a form of "protection" by the laws of heaven and earth for life born in the Divine Plane.

However, in the Divine Plane, Saint Domain level life forms were merely ingredients, slaughtered at will.

Only by reaching the God level realm did one possess a slight ability to survive.

After watching Wai and Stuke's battle at Gray Blood Mountain, Lota had taken Kakqi to travel through the surrounding cities for several years.

The last time he came to Hell was hundreds of billions of years ago, and even then, he had only appeared briefly. After so long, Hell hadn't changed much.

It remained a world of endless killing and combat.

As everyone entered the city, a blade-ship-shaped metal life form "flew frantically" towards Lost City from afar, causing ripples in the water on both sides of the metal life form.

These ripples, when transmitted outside the lake water, caused further disturbances.

This was one of the reasons why Lost Lake appeared to be constantly churning from the outside.

Any battle or action would almost invariably cause fluctuations in the lake water.

The appearance of the metal life form instantly drew the attention of the surrounding God-level powerhouses.

Even the city's guard force became vigilant immediately. However, there was no excessive panic; no one dared to cause trouble or fight within the city. This was a rule set by the Sovereign God.

Fighting within the city, even if one could escape the City Lord's punishment, would be inescapable from the Sovereign God's annihilation. A Sovereign God could kill a God-level being with a mere thought.

Except for Paragon High-Gods, no one could withstand a Sovereign God's thought, not even peak Asura powerhouses. This was the power of a Sovereign God's will, so powerful it was unassailable.

Soon, the metal life form reached the city gates. Over a dozen God-level beings appeared, among whom only one was a High God; the rest were all Mid-level Gods.

"Mr. Lille!"

The Guard Captain at the city gate was extremely surprised to see the High God. He then hurriedly flew forward, "Mr. Lille, what happened to you all..."

"The mission failed."

The High God, addressed as Mr. Lille, finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tone laced with lingering fear.

He was a member of the Devil Castle in Lost City and had been leading some God-level beings participating in the devil assessment mission.

This mission was a Five-star Devil mission. In addition to that, there were also some one-star to four-star missions, which were relatively simpler.

But who knew that complications would arise.

Not only was the target present, but there were also other powerhouses at the target's location, causing their mission to be almost a complete annihilation. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been lost as well.

Out of nearly a thousand God-level powerhouses, only a dozen Mid-level Gods had the good fortune to escape with him.

Hearing Lille say the mission had failed and seeing his disheveled state, the Guard Captain was greatly alarmed.

Lille was a renowned powerhouse in Lost City. Many believed he was already a Six-star Devil powerhouse, second only to the City Lord.

To force Mr. Lille into such a state, this mission must have been at least a Six-star mission, and likely involved a powerful Six-star Devil.

"Is the City Lord within the city?"

Lille looked at the Guard Captain and asked directly.

"Yes, he is."

The Guard Captain replied.

The Devil Castle, Blood Peak Castle, and Black Gauze Castle, though backed by Sovereign Gods, did not have the time to manage them. They were all managed by the City Lords of each city.

City Lords were powerful Seven-star Devils themselves and, to some extent, members of the Devil Castle.

"I'll go see the City Lord first."

Upon hearing this, Lille ignored the Mid-level Gods who had escaped with him and entered the city directly.

Those Mid-level Gods did not dare to linger, quickly taking out their Ink Stones and entering the city. Only after entering the city did they feel safe. Recalling the experience, many Mid-level Gods were still filled with dread, not even wanting to attempt devil assessment missions anymore.

No matter how powerful the devil title, one needed to be alive to possess it.

"Line up properly! Those who disobey will be killed!"

Seeing the panicked state of these Mid-level Gods, the Guard Captain couldn't help but frown, feeling disdain in his heart. A bunch of cowards.

Hearing the Guard Captain's words, these Mid-level Gods calmed down slightly.

Lota and Kakqi were not far away, watching the scene unfold.

Kakqi also sighed, "Another failed mission."

The missions for demon assessment were not guaranteed to succeed. In fact, the failure rate was higher than the success rate, and even for successful demon missions, the death rate could reach ninety percent.

When he was a mid-tier god, he had also participated in the assessment for Life Walkers in the Life God Realm. Life Walkers and the demons of Hell and the monsters of the Underworld were similar.

They were all titles for powerful individuals.

Kakqi's first mission also failed. However, he managed to keep his life and only continued with the assessment missions after his strength grew, after which he rose through cultivation.

As for Lota, he had never undergone such an assessment.

The era he was born and rose in had no such thing. At that time, there weren't even Sovereign Gods. The world was in chaos, and the level of slaughter far exceeded the current degree.

The beings that could survive at that time were inherently powerful.

It wasn't until the Sovereign Spark descended, and he became a Sovereign God and created the Dark God Plane, that "mission assessments" were introduced by Sovereign Gods like them.

Uthred, as the Destruction Overlord, had established a Devil Castle in Hell.

He, in turn, had established a Shadow Castle in the Dark God Realm, and Shadow Walkers were the title for powerful individuals in the Dark God Realm.

Initially, he had paid attention to the Shadow Castle and discovered some talented powerhouses from it. However, as time passed, the novelty of these things waned, and his attention naturally decreased from its initial intensity.

Lota and Kakqi did not reveal their identities and traveled through Hell. Hiding their identities was naturally more interesting.

Just as it was their turn to enter the city, a massive dark wave suddenly surged from the distant lake, its immense force causing even the surrounding god-level beings to stagger.

All the god-level beings outside the city changed their expressions.

Even the Guard Captain's face turned grim. "Alert!"

As the Guard Captain spoke, the surrounding High God guards drew their weapons and stood behind him.

After the dark wave passed, a massive metal lifeform resembling a black dragon swam over.

As it approached the city gate, the giant black dragon disappeared, and nearly a thousand figures appeared. These nearly a thousand people were all High Gods, exuding powerful auras.

Seeing so many High Gods, the guards' expressions changed drastically.

The two leading figures were one with black curly hair, two black horns on his forehead, and two mustache-like beards at the corners of his mouth.

The other was bald, wearing a tiger-skin tunic, with dark golden eyes.

"Sir, this is Lost City."

The man with the fish-like beard and black horns spoke in a deep voice, his tone tinged with anger.

He had no idea that a demon mission had been issued against him. If Lord Bert hadn't happened to be in his castle this time, he would likely have fallen.

Don't let me find out who issued the demon mission, or I will destroy all your divine clones!

Although the mission targeting him was carried out by the Devil Castle, he dared not harbor any resentment towards the Devil Castle. After all, the Devil Castle was backed by the great Sovereign Gods, and harboring resentment towards a Sovereign God was suicidal.

Bert looked at the city before him, completely ignoring the guards below. His eyes showed a deep solemnity before he finally spoke, "Are you sure the person is here?"

"Rest assured, sir. While Lewan may not know about others, I can be certain that a member of the Xue Na Family's branch lives in this Lost City."

The man with the fish-like beard and black horns replied, "I also investigated secretly. It is said that this branch member is here to guard the Ice Snow Mountain."

"Mm."

Bert nodded, then said, "If it is as you say, I will reward you accordingly."

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing Bert's words, Lewan's face lit up with joy.

"Everyone, once you find any members of the Xue Na Family leaving the city, kill them directly! I don't want anyone to escape back."

Bert said in a cold voice.

Although Bert was arrogant, he dared not fight within the city. If someone escaped into the city, he would be helpless.

"Yes."

The High Gods behind Bert all responded.

Just then, several figures flew out of the city rapidly. The man in the lead wore a light red robe embroidered with special plant patterns.

His eyes had thread-like red lines, and in the center of his forehead was a special leaf-shaped pattern.

"City Lord!"

Upon seeing this man, the surrounding god-level powerhouses exclaimed.

In Lost City, the City Lord was the strongest, and also the strongest in the entire Lost Lake, an object of worship for countless god-level powerhouses.

Several High Gods followed behind the City Lord, including Lille.

Seeing Lewan and Bert, the City Lord's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. He spoke in a low tone, "Someone from the Four Divine Beast Family."

He could feel the aura of the Four Divine Beast Family on Bert.

It was truly a suffocating scent.

"City Lord, this is the mysterious powerhouse who was at Lewan's castle earlier."

Lille secretly transmitted his voice to the City Lord, his tone grave. "With just one strike, this person killed most of the assessment candidates, and even Karla directly fell. Even I could barely resist. I suspect this person is a Seven-star Devil powerhouse!"

Lewan was only considered decent among five-star fiends. He actually knew such a strong person? It was truly unexpected.

"Are you Demir?"

Bert looked at the City Lord and spoke directly.

"May I ask which elder from the Four Divine Beast Family you are?"

Demir's tone grew serious as he asked. He didn't want any friction with a strong person from the Four Divine Beast Family before the final stage.

An elder from the Four Divine Beast Family?

Upon hearing Demir's words, the expressions of the strong people around him changed drastically. It was actually a strong person from the Four Divine Beast Family!

In other divine planes, people might speculate whether the first family was the Four Divine Beast Family or the Augusta family. But in Hell, especially on the Blood Peak Continent, everyone feared only the Four Divine Beast Family the most.

Even Lille's expression tightened. Was the strong person before him an elder from the Four Divine Beast Family?

Could the rumor that Lewan possessed a trace of bloodline from the Four Divine Beast Family be true?

"Bert, elder of the White Tiger Family."

As Bert introduced himself, his tone even carried an undisguised sense of honor.

"Elder Bert, what brings you to Lost City?"

Demir felt a bad premonition and asked.

Bert smiled slightly and then said, "I'm here today because I need to ask for City Lord Demir's help with something."

Demir frowned slightly. "Elder Bert, please speak."
