Reverend Insanity: The System Activated Only After I Became an Overgod

Once a body reached a certain threshold, it could be considered comparable to a Sovereign Artifact. There would only be more or less variation.

Some focused on strength, others on defense, speed, and so on.

Yet Leiding's dragon scales were comparable to a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact in defense alone. In this regard, even counting every life form born since heaven and earth came into being, there were no more than three who could compare to him.

Thus, he had not even forged himself a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact. His scales provided sufficient defense.

Even White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise were somewhat inferior to him in this regard. Although their bodies also fell within the category of Sovereign Artifacts, they were still weaker in defense and strength.

However, even if their bodies were somewhat weaker than Leiding's, they still ranked among the very best Overgods. After all, there were only a handful of Overgods with bodies comparable to Sovereign Artifacts.

Once the strength of their bodies reached the Overgod level, any one of the four could rival a Mid-level Overlord who was not a Paragon.

With this, once the four of them joined forces, even without using the Combined Talent Divine Power, they were confident they could hold off a Law Overlord for some time.

As long as they could keep fighting and avoid being directly slain by a Law Overlord, they would have ample opportunity to unleash their Talent Divine Power.

Lius, Nimo, and Bowen all agreed strongly after hearing Leiding's words. This was a rare opportunity.

"Big Brother, let's go!"

Lius was the first to speak. "We can use Lota's move as an opportunity to charge into the Dark God Realm. Hehe, that also fits the 'personality' everyone else thinks we have. Hahaha."

Although they were preparing to fight the Dark Overlord, Lius was not worried in the slightest. Instead, he even made a joke.

Nimo and Bowen also laughed and nodded. "Yes."

They had prepared for this battle for a long time.

It could be said that they had begun laying plans in secret ever since the War of Faith and their battle with Mith, the Water Element Overlord. Their public "performance" of their personas had begun at that time as well.

Countless billions of years had passed.

At last, it was time to end this deliberate "performance."

Seeing the three of them like this, Leiding smiled and nodded. He said nothing more, yet his gaze conveyed everything. "Good. Let's go!"

With that, Leiding tore open the space before him and stepped through first. Lius and the other two exchanged glances before immediately following him into the Space Turbulence through the cracks he had opened.

The moment Leiding and the other four left Blood Peak Continent, Pash learned of it.

Pash then entered the Space Turbulence as well, swiftly setting off toward the Dark God Realm.

It was not only Pash. Nearly everyone who received the news entered the Space Turbulence at the first opportunity.

Not long after the Four Divine Beast Overgods entered the Space Turbulence, the other Overgods received the news.

For a time, every Overgod focused their attention on the Four Divine Beasts.

Hell.

Zijing Continent.

Zijing Mountain Range.

Within a simply decorated cave mansion deep in the mountain range, a beautiful woman in a long purple dress sat cross-legged. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked beyond the mountains.

"Ah."

As though she had discovered something, the beautiful woman could not help but sigh softly.

The next moment, she casually tore open space and stepped into the Space Turbulence.

Unlike the other Overgods, who merely wanted to watch the show, the beautiful woman in purple spread out her Spiritual Sense and directly sent a Voice Transmission to the Four Divine Beasts. "Leiding, are you truly going to fight the Dark Overlord?"

Although she had not paid attention to matters in the Dark God Realm before, she knew something of the affairs between the Four Divine Beasts, Lota, and Augusta.

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's Voice Transmission, Lius and the other two looked toward Leiding, who was leading them.

Clearly, they were not in a position to say much about the matter between Leiding and the beautiful woman.

"Zijing, this is a matter for the Four Divine Beasts."

After a moment of silence, Leiding's calm voice rang out. He did not care in the slightest about Zijing Overlord's thoughts.

Ever since Zijing had made the Supreme God Oath, he had known that there could never again be any entanglement between him and Zijing. No one could violate a Supreme God Oath. Not even an Overgod.

"Leiding, you cannot deceive me."

Zijing Overlord was somewhat helpless as she sent a Voice Transmission. "I do not know why the four of you became like this after the War of Faith, but listen to my advice. Let this matter end here."

Clearly, Zijing knew Leiding and the others far too well. After all, they had joined forces for a time in the past.

She also felt somewhat guilty toward Leiding, since he had helped her greatly. She had even wondered whether Leiding's personality becoming what it was now might have had something to do with her.

The more she thought about it, the more indebted she felt toward Leiding.

"Hahaha."

Leiding suddenly laughed in self-mockery. His expression was extremely complicated. "Zijing, you have always been like this. What you think is the right choice is not necessarily right for others! It was like this then, and it is like this now. Hehe, I am not you."

After a pause, Leiding's expression became even more resolute. He stopped paying attention to her and said directly, "Let's go!"

As soon as he spoke, Leiding's flying speed increased considerably.

Lius and the other two looked at one another. In the end, they said nothing and closely followed Leiding toward the Dark God Realm.

Zijing was stunned for a moment upon hearing Leiding's words. Then she could only sigh and did not try to persuade him further.

Seeing Zijing like this, Nimo, the Vermilion Bird Overgod, secretly sent her a Voice Transmission. "Zijing, after this matter is over, I will help explain it to you."

Zijing did not respond after hearing Nimo's words. She merely smiled helplessly. "Be careful, all of you."

After speaking, Zijing stopped spectating and returned directly to the Zijing Mountain Range.

Nimo watched Zijing leave and said nothing more.

Outside the Light God Realm, within the Space Turbulence.

Augusta's gaze shifted as he wondered about something.

"Dominator, the Four Divine Beasts have entered the Space Turbulence and are flying toward the Dark God Realm."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Augusta's mind.

This was a Lower Sovereign God from Hell who secretly followed Augusta. As the strongest among the Law Overlords, it was not as though no Overgods secretly relied on him.

"They are flying to the Dark God Realm through the Space Turbulence?"

Augusta frowned, then could not help smiling. "Leiding and the others are actually not taking the Teleportation Array. Hehe, in that case, let us see whose speed is faster."

Light flickered in Augusta's eyes as his right hand gently rubbed an inconspicuous ring on his finger.

Then Augusta transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Heavenly Realm.

Augusta Garden.

Ofu raised his head and sighed softly. "I hope this does not affect my research."

Although Augusta and he were the same person, they could be treated as two entirely separate individuals. Most importantly, because of their "personalities," it was clear that they found it difficult to understand and accept one another.

At the very least, he could not approve of Augusta's actions.

Dark God Realm.

Shadow Continent, Darkness Prefecture.

Within Phantom Castle on Phantom Mountain.

Lota stood at the entrance of the main hall with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the distant world. He did not appear nervous in the slightest about fighting the Four Divine Beasts.

His thoughts drifted.

Not long after he became the Dark Overlord countless years ago, he had led six Darkness System Overgods to create the Dark God Realm together. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the ruler of the Dark God Realm.

In truth, as creators of Divine Planes, Overgods possessed a certain degree of control over the regions they created. For example, whenever someone entered or exited those regions, the Overgods who had created them would know immediately.

Thus, the first group of Overgods born when heaven and earth came into being preferred to remain within their own created regions. Even if danger arose, they could detect it immediately.

The reason Lota did not remain in the Dark God Realm for long was mainly because his hometown was a Material Plane, which was safer to him. Of course, he was also confident in his own strength.

Ever since he created the Dark God Realm and the War of Faith ended, countless billions of years had passed. His state of mind had long been tempered until it was unruffled. Yet the successive appearances and confirmations of people and things from his Earth Memory and the "system" had ultimately caused some changes in his state of mind.

As he sensed the continent he had created, Lota's state of mind gradually calmed.

"Dominator, the Four Divine Beasts are already heading toward the Dark God Realm."

Ilitana's voice rang out. The Four Divine Beasts had not concealed their tracks, and many Overgods were exchanging Voice Transmissions. She only needed to pay a little attention to know.

Lota withdrew his thoughts and gave a soft acknowledgment. He silently turned around, his tone unchanged. "Let's go."

As Lota spoke, his eyes emitted intertwined black-and-gold light. His aura was incomparably domineering, and the black Embroidered Gold Robe around him fluttered despite the absence of wind.

"Yes."

Ilitana's voice fell.

Then the stable Shadow Continent suddenly began to tremble.

Countless living beings had no idea what was happening and looked around in confusion.

Even the Prefecture Lords and Overgod armies on Shadow Continent did not know what had happened.

Especially at Dark Sky Mountain on Shadow Continent, where the Teleportation Array had been built. The black mist surrounding Dark Sky Mountain suddenly began to churn, and countless Overgod soldiers fled beyond the mountain, staring at Dark Sky Mountain with terrified expressions.

The Nameless Plants that occasionally appeared within the mist around Dark Sky Mountain suddenly began to move. They seemed to grow and contract, creating an extremely bizarre sight.

Even they did not know what these strange plants within the mist were. They seemed to have existed ever since Dark Sky Mountain first came into being.

Although many powerful experts had investigated them, they had found nothing. Some had even accidentally become lost within the black mist.

Soon, before everyone's astonished eyes, the black mist that had shrouded Dark Sky Mountain for countless years vanished. At the same time, the special plants hidden within it also disappeared.

Other than that, nothing around them changed.

Phantom Castle, within the main hall.

Countless vines grew from the thick stone pillars standing in the hall. They spread from large to small, intertwining around Lota's arm.

At that moment, Lota gently tore open space and stepped inside.

Countless turbulent currents swept past him, yet they could not affect Lota in the slightest.

With the Sovereign's Will, whether it was the Space Turbulence, a Divine Plane, or a Material Plane, there was no difference to them.

"Heh, there really are quite a few people here."

Lota discovered several dozen Overgods through his Spiritual Sense.

How many Overgods were there in total? Yet half of them had already arrived.

But it made sense. Overgods were bored as well. Even battles involving Asuras, Seven-star, or Six-star experts would draw bored Overgods to secretly spectate. This was a battle at the Dominator level, so naturally they would be even less willing to miss it.

"Lota."

Suddenly, the Death Overlord's voice entered Lota's mind.

"Augusta is flying toward the Four Divine Beasts."

Before Lota could respond, the Death Overlord's next words arrived.

Upon hearing the Death Overlord's words, Lota was briefly stunned. His Spiritual Sense instinctively spread outward, and then his expression became somewhat strange.

An Overgod's Spiritual Sense covered an extremely vast range.

Lota indeed discovered Augusta and Leiding's group of four, and Augusta was flying directly toward the Four Divine Beasts.

"What is Augusta trying to do?"

Lota was momentarily speechless.

"Lota, I suspect Augusta also wants to strike against the Four Divine Beasts at this time."

The Death Overlord's voice arrived, carrying a trace of amusement toward the end. "He probably does not want you to obtain the Sovereign Sparks."

Clearly, the conflict between Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts was common knowledge.

Augusta taking action surprised her, but it was not difficult to understand.

If Augusta seized the Four Divine Beasts, her deal with Lota would become invalid. Logically, she should have opposed Augusta's involvement, but upon seeing this scene, she still found it interesting.

The Overgods had been living too peacefully for too long. It was boring.

Strike against the Four Divine Beasts?

Lota narrowed his eyes slightly.
