Hearing the guard's description, Demir's expression couldn't help but become even more shocked. This person was actually this powerful? Based on the description, he was at least a Seven-star Devil expert.
"Let's go, let's go out and see."
Demir flew directly towards the outside of the city.
Hell, Sea of Chaos.
This was the "Outer Sea" of Hell, and it was the largest area among the five continents and two oceans in Hell, even exceeding the total area of several continents.
At the same time, it was the most chaotic place in Hell.
And this Sea of Chaos belonged to the territory of the Destruction Overlord Uthred.
Deep within the Sea of Chaos, there was an extremely vast city – "Wu Kun City".
No one knew that this city was actually one of the lairs of the Destruction Overlord Uthred, and it was also the place where Uthred spent the most time.
In Wu Kun City, it was built within a continuous range of underwater mountain ranges deep in the Sea of Chaos. Or rather, the entire mountain range belonged to Wu Kun City.
And in the central area of this mountain range, there was a huge black castle surrounded by countless water edges mixed like swords. The castle, surrounded from the outside, could not be seen at all, and these water edges were very strange, even High Gods could not maintain their posture within them.
This water edge area was a top-three dangerous place, even in the entire Sea of Chaos.
At this moment, within the castle surrounded by the water edges, the Destruction Overlord Uthred looked towards the northeast, his brows slightly raised, somewhat surprised. "These guys, Leiding and the others, actually provoked Lota."
As the Destruction Overlord, as long as he wanted to know, almost nothing in Hell could escape his perception. Especially since Lota was on Pash's Blood Peak Continent, Pash had informed him of this matter.
He naturally paid some attention to Lota.
Not knowing what he saw, Uthred suddenly smiled. "Interesting."
Ever since the Sovereign God War, after the eleven Overlords had fought each other, he had paid attention to Lota for a period of time. Especially after knowing that Lota was originally just a human, his attention had increased.
After all, how could Lota, who could fight them without falling behind in a human body, not have anything special about him?
Perhaps Lota, like that madman Ofu, had also improved his strength through research.
However, Lota was different from Ofu. Lota's "mystery," or rather "caution," exceeded his imagination. All along, he and the other Overlords had not learned much about Lota's information.
Due to Lota's "caution," it was as if his own strength was just like this. Coupled with the appearance of the Supreme God's mission and Supreme Artifact, the Rule Overlord's strength increased, and the other Overlords paid less attention to Lota.
After all, the boost that the Supreme Artifact gave to the Sovereign God was too great.
Especially the four Rule Overlords, after obtaining the Supreme Artifact, their strength far surpassed that of the Law Overlords. Under such circumstances, even if Lota was somewhat mysterious, it would not affect anything.
Of course, all Overlords had their own secrets, but Lota was just relatively more mysterious.
"If Lota can participate, coupled with Augusta, this matter will indeed be more certain."
Uthred suddenly said without rhyme or reason, as if he was thinking about something.
"However."
Uthred's brows furrowed slightly. "This Lota is too cautious. If he discovers any clues, it will also be a trouble."
Ever since the Rule Overlords obtained the Supreme Artifact, their status had surpassed that of the Law Overlords. However, this did not mean that the Rule Overlords could now ignore the Law Overlords.
After all, if the Law Overlords truly fought them, even if they could not defeat them, they could easily escape. That would be a considerable trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Uthred still decided not to actively "provoke" Lota, lest any accidents occur. However, if Leiding and the others continued to provoke Lota, it would not be his fault.
Thinking of this, Uthred looked in the direction of the Heavenly Realm, his gaze distant, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hell, Blood Peak Continent.
You Lan Prefecture, Sky Altar Mountain Range.
In the main hall of the Four Divine Beast Family, Leiding and the other three sat in the hall, their expressions carrying some solemnity.
The death of family members was actually irrelevant to them. As Sovereign Gods, they would not interfere in matters at the God level. What truly concerned them was that Lota had come forward to "interfere" in this matter.
"The Dark Overlord actually came to the Blood Peak Continent?"
Vermilion Bird Sovereign God Nimo spoke first.
Since the Sovereign God agreement took effect, although the four of them were only Lower Sovereign Gods, according to the agreement, their status was on par with the Seven Law Overlords. The four of them together were not allowed to fight against Lower or Middle Sovereign Gods.
In terms of strength, they were indeed classified as Overlord level.
However, the four of them also knew that the other Overlords did not truly treat them as equals.
"Is this Lota deliberately provoking us?"
Black Tortoise Sovereign God Bowen also frowned slightly and spoke.
Although the four of them were somewhat displeased, they were not blinded by the so-called "friction." Having lived for countless years, they were not stupid. Leaving an impression on outsiders was for outsiders; in private, they naturally did not need to hide themselves.
"A Law Overlord, truly thinks he is invincible."
White Tiger Sovereign God Lius did not seem to fear Lota and said directly, "If he really has intentions towards us, it might not be a bad opportunity for us."
Saying this, Lius looked at Leiding, his golden circular eyes shining slightly, and switched to voice transmission. "Once there is a High Sovereign God family member in the family, even if we face a Rule Overlord, we might not be at a disadvantage."
They knew very well that they had only reached the Overlord level in their fused innate divine powers. In other aspects, they were too far from High Sovereign Gods.
Therefore, the status of the four of them had always been awkward. Especially the Sovereign God agreement, which, in their opinion, was a restriction imposed on the four of them by these eleven Overlords.
A powerful Lower Sovereign God, is he no longer a Lower Sovereign God?
Nonsense logic!
Going by that logic, a Grand Perfection Lower Sovereign God couldn't even be considered a Lower Sovereign God. If Sovereign Gods had different strengths, they wouldn't be able to fight!
Aside from their "Overlord-level" group of four, the remaining seven Law Overlords and four Rule Overlords, though varying in strength, could all escape if another didn't want to fight.
But what about the four of them?
Once a fight broke out, the outcome was obvious. They had no choice.
Kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent!
Even if they could kill the opponent, would the other Overlords just stand by?
They didn't count on any so-called Sovereign God pact.
In their view, the only reason no one bothered them was that those who weren't confident they could withstand their combined Talent Divine Power were deterred by the mutual checks and balances, making it not worth their while to attack them.
It was precisely because of this Sovereign God pact that the four of them actually dared not split up.
Leiding wasn't agitated by Lius's words, remaining very calm. "Since the War of Faith, this is the third time something like this has happened. Aside from a few Rule Overlords, the others don't dare to act rashly."
"However, we still need to be cautious."
Leiding continued, "This Lota is too mysterious. He might have some backup."
"Hmph, as long as he dares to attack us head-on, no matter what tricks he has, I don't believe he can withstand our ultimate move. When that time comes, we'll go all out and kill him."
Lius narrowed his eyes. "How about we select and cultivate clan members with Darkness talent in our families in advance? Once we kill Lota, we can directly refine his Sovereign Spark. The other Overlords might not react in time."
"According to your idea, we'd need to cultivate clan members with Darkness talent for more than just this. So, let's just think about it."
Nimo shook his head helplessly. "Lota is the Dark Overlord. He wouldn't fight us over such a trivial matter."
Although his tone was helpless, Nimo was also confident that Lota wouldn't dare to face their ultimate move, the four of them.
"Then we'll just let this matter go?"
Bowen couldn't help but frown.
The four of them were already "restricted" at the Overlord level. If they truly backed down now, their status would become even more awkward.
"There's no need to retreat. No matter how powerful Lota is, can he be stronger than Mith? We didn't retreat when facing Mith, the Grand Perfection Water Element Overlord. Lota alone isn't enough to make us."
Leiding spoke directly. "However, there's no need to confront Lota directly. Have our clan members go to the Dark God Realm and kill some Seven-star Shadow Walkers. Especially the Fallen Angels, kill a few."
Fallen Angels were exclusive to the Dark Lord God. Especially Fallen Angels at the Seven-star Shadow Walker level, only Lota could create them.
It could be said that any Seven-star Fallen Angel had a connection to Lota.
Lota had no clan members, so they could only start with the Fallen Angels.
This was also a way to subtly express their stance and save face for the Four Divine Beasts.
"Fallen Angels, Light Angels..."
Lius curled his lip. "These things that Lota and Augusta created are truly disgusting."
"But I have to admit, with just these Fallen Angels and Light Angels, their rule over the Dark God Realm and the Light God Realm has become much easier."
Nimo spoke.
Sovereign Gods were different from Gods. Besides being more powerful and having a different life level, once one became a Sovereign God, they also had their own "duties."
These duties were inherited from the Supreme God.
For example, consuming the number of God-level experts in the Plane Battlefield, and recycling Divine Sparks in the Divine Plane to be handed over to the Supreme God, were all within their scope of duties.
Just like how the guardians of the Material Planes were sent by Sovereign Gods to manage them.
In a sense, Sovereign Gods were also guardians of the Divine Plane. However, their authority was greater, to the extent that as long as they stayed within the rules, they could do as they pleased.
This was why every Sovereign God had their own "territory," and regardless of whether the Sovereign God was in hiding, they had their own army.
All of this was for the better management of the Divine Plane.
However, among all Sovereign Gods, the "simplest" to manage the Divine Plane were the Light Lord God and the Dark Lord God. The reason for this was that the Sovereign Gods of these two elements could create angels.
This was an inherent ability of the Light Lord God and Dark Lord God positions.
Other elemental Sovereign Gods, even Rule Overlords, did not possess this ability. They spent considerably more effort in managing their Divine Planes compared to the Sovereign Gods of the Darkness and Light systems.
The true purpose of Sovereign Gods was not their power, but to cooperate with the Supreme God to maintain the balance and operation of the world.
However, few Sovereign Gods deeply pondered these matters.
In fact, even Lota, who possessed "Earth Memory," overlooked one point: why were Sovereign Gods born in this world?
After all, Sovereign Gods were not a cultivation realm. What was the significance of the birth of Sovereign Gods? Was it just to have a new realm beyond the God level?
In Lota's "Earth Memory," there was almost no description of this. Ultimately, in "Earth Memory," this world was just a "novel," and its story spanned only over twenty thousand years.
This world had actually existed for over a thousand eons. Twenty thousand years, for over a thousand eons, wasn't even an instant.
Furthermore, for these twenty thousand years, the core focus was on "Linley." Even after Linley became a Sovereign God, it was less than ten thousand years. How could he have understood all of this clearly?
Perhaps Linley understood after he "transcended," but there was no need to explain too much. Just like how Linley later replenished the disappearing Sovereign Sparks.
However, there were still clues to be found regarding this matter.
This world is based on "Earth, Fire, Water, Wind," giving birth to Darkness and Light energies, and deriving Lightning as the power of judgment.
As for the Four Major Rules, they are the rules for the normal operation of the universe.
This is also one of the few descriptions of this world in "Earth Memory."
Furthermore, this world was created by Hong Meng as a subordinate universe to stabilize the so-called "main universe." If the subordinate universe itself cannot exist for long, how can it stabilize the main universe?
Therefore, the Sovereign Spark was actually an additional component added by Hong Meng to stabilize this subordinate universe.
Its purpose was to repair the instability of the subordinate universe.
Refining the Sovereign Spark, to some extent, means becoming "bound" to the rules of this subordinate universe.
This explains why a Sovereign God is completely different from a god. Why the abilities of a Sovereign God far surpass those of a god-level expert. Under such restrictions, akin to "permission levels," no matter how powerful a god-level being is, they cannot cause any impact before a Sovereign God.
Moreover, different elemental Sovereign Gods, besides combat, have different focuses for their "duties."
In fact, it is due to the differences in their respective "Law rules" that the particularities of different elemental Sovereign Gods also differ.
For example, the Earth Element Sovereign God is bound to the "Earth Element Law" of this universe, more so representing the operation of the "Earth Element Law" throughout the world. Often, they are responsible for maintaining the population of Earth Element life within this world.
As for the Rule System Overlord, to some extent, they are very similar to the "Emissaries" of the Supreme God, serving the Supreme God's rules more often.
The derived Darkness, Light, and Lightning are more inclined to complement and compensate for the deficiencies of other Laws.
For instance, for life in the Material Plane, Light and Darkness are essential for survival, something other Laws and rules cannot achieve.
Therefore, the birth of the Light Element and Darkness System Sovereign Sparks was more to stabilize the Material Plane. This differs from the inclinations of the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind elemental Sovereign Sparks.
Precisely because of this, the Light Element and Darkness System Sovereign Sparks possess abilities different from other Sovereign Sparks, having the Angel Rebirth Pool, which can directly convert the souls of qualifying Material Plane life into angels.
Of course, regardless of the elemental Sovereign God, the basic duty is to maintain the normality of their respective domains.
