The remaining members of the Four Divine Beast Family could be handled by ordinary Fallen God Angels.
Hearing Lota's order, the six people exchanged glances before answering in unison, "Yes!"
"This is the Dark God Realm. It is not the place for others to make trouble."
Lota casually remarked, then her figure vanished directly.
After Lota left, the other six looked at one another before finally letting out breaths of relief.
"I wonder what the Four Divine Beast Family did to make the Dominator so angry. He does not even care about Leiding and the others anymore."
A Dark Lord God spoke cautiously.
Although the Dominator's words did not amount to declaring war on the Four Divine Beasts, his relationship with them had clearly fallen to freezing point. Otherwise, why would he issue such an order?
After all, the Dark God Realm had quite a few members of Leiding and the others' clans within five generations.
Especially the Dominator's final remark—it was unclear whether he had said it for them to hear, or for Leiding and the others.
"Forget it. Since the Dominator has decided, we can only act according to his orders."
The man from earlier spoke with some emotion. Although he did not agree with dragging the Four Divine Beasts into this matter, he said nothing more.
"Everyone, in that case, I'll be leaving first."
Erni spoke immediately. Clearly, he intended to return and make arrangements.
If Overgods wanted to kill some God level experts, they only needed a single thought.
But the Four Divine Beast Family was clearly not qualified to make them act personally.
Otherwise, why would the Dominator need Fallen God Angels to intervene? He could have wiped out the Four Divine Beast Family himself.
The same went for them. They would not act personally either.
The others said no more. After exchanging glances, they all vanished from the great hall in an instant.
After everyone left, Lota's figure reappeared on the throne, without even changing posture.
Clearly, Lota had never left from beginning to end. The others simply had not noticed at all. This was something only possible after reaching Paragon level in the Dark Law.
When different laws and rules reached Paragon level, the rewards were not limited to Willpower Might. They also brought the characteristics of each system of laws and rules to their absolute limits. Just as a Death Paragon could strip away souls, that was a characteristic of the Death Rules.
And the Dark Law's greatest strength was concealment.
Lota's expression remained unchanged as he looked beyond the great hall. A glint of gold flashed through his dark eyes, and no one knew what he was contemplating.
Dark God Realm, Darkness Prefecture.
Kakqi flew at full speed toward Phantom Mountain and noticed several differences along the way.
Fallen God Angels, who were rarely seen normally, had now become common. They were almost always in groups of six. Fallen God Angels could form Angel Battle Formations, and a six-person Angel Battle Formation was the most stable and could unleash the greatest amount of power.
It looks like the Dominator has already moved against the Four Divine Beast Family in the Dark God Realm.
Kakqi looked at the Fallen God Angels in the distance and sighed inwardly. Perhaps the conflict between the Fallen God Angels and the Four Divine Beast Family would soon spread to other places.
Thinking of this, Kakqi stopped dwelling on it and once again flew toward Phantom Mountain at full speed. He needed to obtain the Sovereign Artifact granted by the Dominator as soon as possible. Without a Sovereign Artifact, resolving the matter at the Burning Volcano Mountain Range would not be easy.
Although he did not know Lota's purpose, Kakqi was certain that the Dominator would not let this matter end so easily.
Otherwise, he would not have ordered Kakqi and Morit to kill Spark and Mel.
All that could be said was that the Divine Planes might soon descend into chaos.
Hell, Blood Peak Continent.
You Lan Prefecture, Tianji Mountain Range, within the Four Divine Beast Family's main hall.
Leiding and the other three sat upon four enormous seats.
Sovereign's Might enveloped the surroundings, making it impossible for any Spiritual Sense to probe what was happening inside.
"What do you think about what happened in the Dark God Realm?"
Leiding looked at the other three, with little anger in his tone.
This calmness was somewhat at odds with their personalities before outsiders. They were practically like entirely different people.
"Twelve-winged Fallen Divine Angels can only be mobilized by Lota."
Lius said directly, "It seems Lota truly intends to oppose us."
The four of them were not fools. They had already sensed at Ice Snow Mountain that Lota had been excessively "tough" toward them. How could they ignore such an "abnormality"? Their decision to have their clansmen deal with Fallen God Angels was not merely to recover some face.
More importantly, they wanted to test Lota's attitude again from the side.
Although Fallen God Angels were the Humanoid Weapons of the Dark Lord Gods, killing a few would not have much impact. Such a matter could be made large or small.
Lota's reaction would reveal enough.
Yet Lota had directly sent commander-level Fallen God Angels into action. His attitude was already obvious.
"Since the War of Faith, Heaven and Earth have been peaceful for far too long."
Nimo suddenly said something seemingly unrelated, a trace of gravity appearing in his voice.
Leiding nodded as well.
Since the Sovereign God War and the War of Faith, the only conflicts had occurred when Supreme God Missions appeared. Yet even then, the battles had not been especially fierce.
Overall, the Overgods had remained fairly peaceful.
That period had lasted far, far too long.
And when enough time passed, some people were bound to develop ideas.
In their eyes, Lota had developed different ideas.
But that was fine. So had they.
If Lota took the initiative to attack, then even if they killed him, the Rule Overlords could say nothing.
"We can begin selecting some clansmen with Dark and Light talents. Have them reach the High God realm as quickly as possible. Most importantly, they must be loyal to the family."
Leiding's gaze drifted as he suddenly spoke.
It was not only Lota whose conflict with them had deepened. There was also Augusta, the Dominator of the Light God Realm.
Their conflict with Augusta was even greater than their conflict with Lota.
When the other three heard Leiding finally say those words, their eyes brightened.
Ever since their battle with the Previous Water Element Overlord, although the status of the four of them had risen sharply, their sense of crisis had never disappeared. They were Overgods who had lived since the Beginning of Heaven and Earth. They had never placed their safety in the so-called Sovereign God Agreement.
The only thing that could truly guarantee everything was strength.
But it had to be said that the Rule Overlords and the Sovereign God Agreement were mountains pressing down upon them.
Wanting to remove those mountains completely would not be easy.
But no matter how difficult it was, they had to try. The true difficulty was merely how to do it.
Had they not always acted arrogant, overbearing, and unruly before others precisely to slowly draw out those who would take the initiative to attack them?
As long as someone attacked, they would have an opportunity.
If the four of them gained just one more High-level Overlord clansman, they could stand equal to the Rule Overlords. At that point, the Sovereign God Agreement would no longer restrict them.
After countless years,
they had originally thought they had only provoked Augusta's hostility. Who would have thought that Lota would suddenly step forward for some unknown reason?
For them, that was not necessarily a bad thing.
No matter who it was, as long as battle broke out, it would be enough.
It was not impossible to pay a price and use their Talent Divine Powers twice in a short period of time. When that time came...
An idea surfaced in all their hearts.
Regarding Fallen God Angels and Light God Angels.
In the original work, among angels below Twelve-Winged, Eight-Winged angels were Lower Gods, while Ten-Winged angels were Middle Gods. The earliest description stated that Ten-Winged angels were relatively ordinary Middle Gods, because low-level Rebirth Pools could not withstand high-level Profound Mysteries techniques.
Later descriptions stated that the Profound Mysteries comprehended by Overgods merged into the Rebirth Pools, producing angels of corresponding levels. This section mainly described Twelve-Winged angels. The weakest were Seven-star Devils, while a small number were commanders.
This part of the setting differs somewhat from the original work. Here, Ten-Winged angels are no longer merely the simplest Middle God level. At minimum, they are Middle Gods who have comprehended two Profound Mysteries, while at maximum, they are Six-star Devil level after Three-fusion.
Otherwise, I personally feel that the power gap among angels would be far too terrifying. Of course, there will not be many descriptions of Ten-Winged strength later on. It was only mentioned a little earlier.
But it is still worth noting.
News of what happened in the Dark God Realm quickly spread among the Overgods.
The Overgods had lived for countless years. Even the youngest Water Element Overlord had lived for nearly eight hundred Eons. Other than Supreme God Missions, Heaven and Earth had been peaceful for far too long for the Overgods.
A single Eon lasted sixty quadrillion years!
Eight hundred Eons was so long that the Overgods had become unimaginably bored.
Overgods needed something to pass the time.
Thus, to a certain extent, the Four Divine Beast Family's arrogance and tyranny had been tacitly permitted by the Overgods, simply as entertainment.
Many of the powerful factions and clans provoked by the Four Divine Beast Family were, in truth, backed by forces dependent on Overgods, such as the clans of Overgod envoys.
The strongest among them was the Augusta Family of the Light God Realm, backed by Augusta, the Light Overlord. He was the strongest among the Law Overlords.
The friction between the Four Divine Beast Family and these forces under the Overgods was also one of the livelier events in the Divine Planes.
The Overgods were happy to watch the excitement. Naturally, they would not step forward to ease these conflicts. Sometimes, there were even people secretly fanning the flames, their goal being to continuously expand the spectacle.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Four Divine Beast Family was, other Asura level factions would never have allowed themselves to be humiliated by them. Even if they were humiliated and killed some ordinary members of the Four Divine Beast Family, the Four Divine Beasts could not have done much to them over it.
But in reality, these super clans and factions had almost all been suppressed by the Four Divine Beast Family until they could barely breathe.
However, what happened in the Dark God Realm this time allowed all the Overgods to sense a different kind of atmosphere.
Fallen God Angels were not casually established factions under the Overgods. They were the "Humanoid Weapons" of the Darkness System Overgods. The occasional death of a few was no major matter, but deliberately hunting Fallen God Angels would inevitably draw the attention of the Darkness System Overgods.
Yet Leiding and the others showed no reaction to the Four Divine Beast Family doing this. That was thought-provoking.
After all, the Fallen God Angels were backed by more than one Overgod. They represented seven Overgods of an entire system, including one Dominator.
Leiding and the other three truly had confidence in their family descendants.
Of course, it was not only Leiding and the other three.
The Dark Overlord's actions were also somewhat "abnormal." He had actually sent commander-level Fallen God Angels to "retaliate." That response was far too extreme.
This no longer resembled ordinary "entertainment."
Although the Four Divine Beast Family had an absurd number of enemies, and every one of them was a super faction renowned throughout the Divine Planes, there had never been a situation as "tense" as this one.
For a time, quite a few Overgods began to entertain their own thoughts.
Netherworld, Nether Mountain.
Within the great hall atop the mountain, a red-haired girl sat casually upon the throne.
"Hahaha, this is getting interesting. I never expected Augusta to have no reaction, while Lota suddenly stepped in."
The red-haired girl laughed happily, though her eyes remained calm.
"Dominator, Leiding and the others may have plans as well."
A deep voice echoed through the great hall.
The red-haired girl's expression did not change. Still smiling, she said casually, "Those thoughts did not arise only now. After so many years, there ought to be some entertainment."
"I just wonder who will be the winner this time. Hehehe."
The red-haired girl seemed to have thought of something and became very happy. There was not the slightest tension in her voice. To her, these matters seemed incapable of affecting her at all.
"Dominator, should we intervene?"
The deep voice asked again.
"Why intervene? Hehe, let them fight."
