Any Overlord might be slightly weaker, but their speed wouldn't be far off. Escaping wouldn't be difficult.
Especially Lota, that guy's strength isn't bad.
Moreover, they had known each other for a very, very long time. When no outsiders were around, they were too lazy to hide anything.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
The Death Overlord, without waiting for Lota to speak, said with a chuckle.
Lota didn't say much more and then entered the Shadow Castle with the Death Overlord.
Inside the Shadow Castle's Hall.
A new "Throne" appeared next to Lota's Throne. The Death Overlord sat on it casually and lazily, scanning the Hall at will.
"Ilitana greets the Death Overlord."
Ilitana's voice rang out.
She was originally a Lower Sovereign God of the Death system, a Sovereign God of the Underworld lineage. However, she had always followed Lota.
This was not uncommon among Sovereign Gods.
The followers of the Overlords of each system were not just Sovereign Gods of the same system, nor did all Sovereign Gods of the same system follow the same Overlord.
Just like the Sovereign Gods of the Darkness system in the Dark God Realm, although they all obeyed Lota's orders, the Overlord they secretly followed might not be Lota.
"Alright, you don't need to be so formal."
The Death Overlord, upon hearing Ilitana's voice, was not surprised at all. He didn't even ask Ilitana to appear.
Besides Ilitana's own reasons, it was also because of Lota.
Among all the Sovereign Gods, Ilitana was considered a rather special existence.
Sovereign Gods were high and mighty, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the monarchs of this world. Even Lower Sovereign Gods were like this.
Lower Sovereign Gods and Sovereign Gods might follow a certain Overlord, but it was merely a following. In many normal times, Sovereign Gods of different ranks would stay in their own territories, and even their interactions wouldn't be so unbalanced.
Therefore, in the impression of countless lives on the Divine Plane, the status of all Sovereign Gods was almost the same.
However, Ilitana was different from everyone else.
After becoming a Sovereign God, she never took human form and had always followed Lota. It wasn't just a simple following; she acted as Lota's weapon.
It's important to note that even her companion spirit fruit tree, the Netherworld Fruit Tree, couldn't achieve what Ilitana did.
It could be said that not a few Overlords envied Lota for having Ilitana.
Setting aside other aspects, Ilitana alone was a significant boost to Lota's strength.
"Lota, have you already prepared to make a move against Leiding and the others?"
The Death Overlord didn't beat around the bush, staring intently at Lota, and directly transmitted his voice to ask.
Lota's expression remained unchanged. "It's just a minor punishment."
He hadn't intended to hide anything and even wanted to reveal some of his strength.
"Heh, who are you trying to fool?"
The Death Overlord pouted but didn't expose Lota. He continued, "There are quite a few people paying attention to Leiding and the others. Do you have the confidence?"
"Augusta?"
Lota didn't care about the Death Overlord's teasing and asked.
Although the battle between the Four Divine Beast Family and the Fallen God Angels was intense, it had only erupted quickly.
The ones truly fighting fiercely with the Four Divine Beast Family were the Augusta Family of the Light God Realm. Augusta was not a magnanimous person, and the Augusta Family naturally inherited Augusta's personality: domineering and arrogant, no less low-key than the Four Divine Beast Family.
This also led to discord between Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts.
If Lota hadn't suddenly intervened, Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts would have inevitably fought.
The Death Overlord listened to Lota's words, shook his head, his tone becoming slightly more serious, and continued to transmit his voice, "No, Uthred."
"Destruction Overlord?"
Lota raised an eyebrow but wasn't too surprised.
The Destruction Overlord Uthred was also a terrifying fellow. Ofu could research for countless years because of his talent, giving all his unfavorable personality traits to Augusta.
But Uthred was different; he relied entirely on his perseverance.
If viewed from this aspect, no one could compare to Uthred.
Lota believed that Uthred would stop at nothing to improve his strength.
Looking back at "Earth Memory," after the Four Divine Beasts fell, the biggest beneficiary was Beirut. A High God received the largest share after the Four Divine Beasts fell.
However, Beirut purely benefited from opportunity and heaven-defying luck.
Besides Beirut, Uthred gained the most. With just a few words, he obtained half of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood from Beirut.
Then, in less than twenty thousand years, he researched "Time-Space Distortion."
Twenty thousand years?
To Lota, this amount of time was a joke.
Let alone twenty thousand years, even if it took two trillion years to research, it would already be a heaven-defying level of luck.
After all, Lota himself had researched talent divine powers. Even with Ilitana's cooperation, it took an unknown amount of time to research the principles behind Ilitana's talent divine power.
Therefore, Lota could be sure that Uthred had been secretly researching the talent divine powers of the Four Divine Beasts for an unknown number of trillions of years.
He was likely very close to a breakthrough.
Only with this possibility could Uthred research time-space distortion after obtaining the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts for a mere twenty thousand years.
It was precisely because of this certainty that Lota had always suspected that the fall of the Four Divine Beasts in the "future" plot was inextricably linked to Uthred.
Ofu might not have the personality to do something like that, but Uthred absolutely would, in order to increase his strength and kill the Four Divine Beasts.
It was just that Lota had never found any trace of Uthred in this matter.
That guy was also very cautious.
Now that the Death Overlord mentioned Uthred, it was clear that he had also guessed or discovered something.
None of the Four Great Rule Rulers were simple.
"Indeed."
The Death Overlord nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "You're not surprised at all. Interesting, hahaha, it seems Uthred won't have an easy time achieving his goal."
Lota remained silent.
The Death Overlord chuckled and no longer reminded him, instead directly transmitting his voice, "Leiding and Bowen's sovereign sparks."
Upon hearing the Death Overlord's voice transmission, Lota's eyebrows twitched. "Two sovereign sparks?"
He knew the Death Overlord had come for sovereign sparks, and it was something he owed the Death Overlord.
Ilitana's death lower sovereign spark was something he obtained after becoming the Dark Overlord. However, obtaining a sovereign spark at that time was no simple feat.
After all, the other Overlords wouldn't just stand by and watch others refine additional sovereign sparks.
This was one of the main reasons why lower sovereign gods and sovereign gods had survived back then.
However, in order to increase their strength, some Overlords had secretly formed alliances after the Sovereign God War, hunting sovereign gods to deal with other Overlords.
Lota had joined forces with the Death Overlord at that time and obtained this death lower sovereign spark.
According to their agreement, this death lower sovereign spark would eventually belong to Lota. But it wasn't free; their next sovereign spark would belong to the Death Overlord.
Furthermore, they had to prioritize obtaining a water element sovereign spark for the next one.
However, the other sovereign gods were too vigilant, and the two had never succeeded.
This continued until the agreement between sovereign gods was established, and sovereign gods no longer attacked each other.
Up to this point, Lota owed the Death Overlord a special "favor." Whenever he had an additional sovereign spark, the Death Overlord would have the priority to obtain it.
But it was only one sovereign spark.
Listening to Lota's inquiry, the Death Overlord's expression turned serious, and he said directly, "Bowen's sovereign spark, I owe you a favor."
Clearly, the Death Overlord had used their previous agreement to prioritize the water element sovereign spark. As for Bowen's earth element sovereign spark, it wasn't prepared for himself.
"Hehehe."
Lota chuckled. "A favor for a sovereign spark?"
Sovereign sparks were the most precious things in this world, bar none. In Lota's opinion, even the Death Overlord's favor was not as valuable as a sovereign spark.
Especially now, when it was no longer the beginning of heaven and earth, the difficulty of obtaining a sovereign spark was immense.
The Death Overlord clearly knew this. "I will help you block Uthred. You don't think Uthred will stand by and do nothing after you succeed, do you?"
Neither Lota nor the Death Overlord considered the possibility of Lota failing.
Lota just smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, the Death Overlord's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he continued, "Besides these, for the next Supreme God mission, I will help you complete it with all my might!"
Clearly, the Death Overlord also knew that Lota wouldn't agree so easily. This guy was also black-hearted.
Supreme God mission.
Upon hearing the Death Overlord's promise, Lota's mind stirred.
According to the "future" plot, the Supreme God mission was indeed about to begin. Not to mention whether the plot would change, even if it didn't, completing the Supreme God mission would not be easy.
But with a certain degree of "foresight," this Supreme God mission was the one with the highest probability of him completing it.
If the Death Overlord could help with all his might, it would indeed be a significant boost for him.
Seeing Lota deep in thought, the Death Overlord did not rush him.
After a moment, Lota looked up at the Death Overlord, his gaze calm, and said directly, "One favor, the Supreme God mission, and in addition to that, ten undead crystals."
The treasures described in "Earth Memory" were few, but in reality, there were many treasures in this world.
Undead crystals were one of them, and their preciousness was even comparable to Zijing's soul stones.
"Lota, don't push your luck too far."
The Death Overlord's expression darkened upon hearing Lota's request.
Undead Crystals were the Heart of the Underworld. They were formed over countless years under the laws of heaven and earth, absorbing countless special undead beings. Each one was a priceless treasure.
Furthermore, the birth of each Undead Crystal required a great deal of her energy.
Lota smiled at the Death Overlord's reaction. "It's just an equivalent exchange. Isn't one Sovereign Spark worth this much?"
"Three! Not one more."
The Death Overlord let out a breath and, too lazy to argue with Lota, stated directly, "If you agree, then it's settled. If not, we'll settle it by our own abilities."
Seeing the Death Overlord's reaction, Lota stopped "provoking" her and smiled, "Alright, three then."
In truth, Lota was well aware of the Undead Crystal's importance to the Death Overlord. Three was already more than he had expected.
The Death Overlord left the Dark God Realm with an displeased expression.
Lota stood in the Hall, his expression returning to normal.
"Overlord."
Ilitana's voice rang out, tinged with emotion. "This Undead Crystal..."
Undead Crystals were supreme treasures, especially for beings of the Death Law, they were unparalleled treasures.
"Let's try one last time."
Lota's voice was devoid of emotion. "This is the only chance."
He had asked for the Undead Crystals for Ilitana.
Lota felt a touch of complexity in his heart for this vine that had followed him for countless years. Especially when she had used her essence blood to help him research his talent divine power, which had greatly boosted his strength.
Hearing Lota's words, Ilitana was silent for a moment before replying, "Okay."
