I've become the Sovereign God, and the System is Only Now Activating

Lota let out a soft chuckle, his royal robe fluttering with the spatial turbulence. He calmly looked at Augusta, "Your strength isn't just what you show on the outside."

Augusta's eyes darted as he listened to Lota's words, his thoughts unreadable.

Lota wasn't in a hurry to attack. The Four Divine Beasts wouldn't escape anyway.

Thus, neither of them paid any attention to the Four Divine Beasts who were seizing the opportunity to recover from their injuries.

The more powerful the body, the greater the difficulty in recovery. Although the Four Divine Beasts' strength was average, their bodies were undoubtedly among the strongest, naturally requiring a lot of time to heal.

A moment later.

Augusta glanced at the Four Divine Beasts, then fixed his gaze on Lota, not hiding his intentions at all, "Then let's rely on our own abilities!"

At this point, neither of them could back down.

This was true even for the Four Divine Beasts.

The Four Divine Beasts were all in their true forms, their expressions unreadable. However, the way the four of them looked at Lota and Augusta was extremely solemn. It was unclear what they were discussing.

"Relying on your supreme artifact?"

Lota laughed heartily, then charged towards Leiding and the other three with his long rod.

Although this battle involved Augusta, it wasn't yet time to fight Augusta to the death. Therefore, the main target was the Four Divine Beasts.

Whoever killed the Four Divine Beasts would gain the initiative.

Even Ofu and the others couldn't say much.

Did Augusta not know this?

If he could kill the Four Divine Beasts, so could Lota, but neither could let the other strike first.

So, the moment Lota moved, Augusta's figure also moved.

However, he wasn't attacking the Four Divine Beasts. Instead, he attacked Lota, preventing Lota from directly annihilating the Four Divine Beasts.

Leiding and the other three reacted quickly. Seeing the two attacking again, even though their injuries weren't fully healed, they stopped recovering and hurriedly reformed their magic array to defend.

Although the Four Divine Beasts were at risk of being killed at any moment, most of Augusta's attacks would be blocked by Lota; most of Lota's attacks would be blocked by Augusta.

Only a small portion of their attacks would continuously fall upon Leiding and the other three.

For a time, the scene became "bizarre."

It looked as if Lota and Augusta were fighting, but both would spare a hand to deal with the Four Divine Beasts. Yet, as they dealt with the Four Divine Beasts, they would also "protect" them.

This resulted in Lota and Augusta's attacks, though powerful, not causing any significant damage.

Conversely, Leiding and the other three, caught in the middle, were already covered in wounds and in a miserable state.

They could only endure some of the residual attacks from the two. If they tried to withdraw from the battlefield, one of the two would "pull" them back.

They couldn't win, and they couldn't escape.

The other Sovereign Gods watched the scene in the arena, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Even the Death Overlord's mouth twitched.

It was interesting, certainly.

But when would it end?

At this rate of consumption, they might fight for hundreds or thousands of years.

I wrote this all night yesterday, plus this morning. I'm a bit dizzy. I'll sleep a little less at noon and continue writing in the afternoon and evening.

Shame!

A monumental shame!

Leiding and the other three were battered and bruised by the attacks of Lota and Augusta.

Even during the Sovereign God War, the four of them had never been so disheveled. At their most dangerous moments, facing Mith, the Grand Perfection Overlord of the Water Element, they weren't as miserable as they were now.

After all, the situation wasn't like this back then; they were almost beyond their own control now.

What was most difficult for them to accept was that they weren't taking the main attacks; they were merely receiving the "incidental" attacks from the two.

They were completely like "playthings"!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Rage burned in the hearts of Leiding and the other three.

However, no matter how furious they were, they didn't dare to show too much emotion at this moment, only able to suppress the anger in their hearts with all their might.

After all, both Lota and Augusta had displayed strength far exceeding their expectations.

This was absolutely not the strength of a Law Overlord!

It was already close to what they considered a Rule Overlord!

Why were they so strong?!

Leiding and the other three didn't understand.

In particular, how could Augusta withstand their talent divine power? In their perception, Augusta couldn't possibly block this move and was certain to die!

But in reality, Augusta was completely unaffected.

"Boom~"

A colossal staff shadow, tens of thousands of meters long, was smashed out by Lota. The space turbulence was scattered by this single strike, forming a vortex.

Accompanying this staff shadow were countless vines, forming cages that spread out in all directions.

It was precisely this "vine" formation, creating a massive "restriction" effect, that allowed Lota to face Augusta's Supreme God sword without being significantly affected.

The attack power of a Supreme Artifact is immense. Setting aside all else, with equal strength, possessing a Supreme Artifact allows one to easily defeat an opponent.

For example, Augusta and the Lightning Overlord Hulley. The strength they previously displayed to the outside world was almost identical. Augusta possessed a Supreme Artifact with mismatched attributes, making him ten times stronger. Hulley, on the other hand, had an Earth Lower Sovereign God avatar, granting him an additional portion of Willpower Might, also making him ten times stronger.

However, it was universally acknowledged that Augusta was slightly stronger than Hulley.

This is part of the advantage of a Supreme Artifact.

If Lota had only exposed strength not exceeding Augusta's, without the restriction of these "vines," he would not have been able to "protect" the Four Divine Beasts from Augusta.

"This is truly troublesome."

Augusta's attack was once again blocked by Lota, and his expression turned grim.

He had already confirmed that while Lota's strength was considerable, without "Ilitana," Lota would only be comparable to the former "Hulley" when facing him now, still having some gap.

Lota was truly lucky!

Augusta felt a pang of jealousy towards Lota's fortune.

After all, for a Sovereign God to act as a "weapon" while risking falling, only Lota could achieve this.

Even the Four Great Rule Rulers couldn't do this.

Moreover, Ilitana's strength was not weak, judging solely by her performance. Ilitana's body was incredibly strong, at least on the level of a Sovereign Artifact, otherwise, she couldn't have served as Lota's weapon.

This means Ilitana likely belonged to the category of "Super Divine Beasts."

With this, Ilitana was comparable to an ordinary Middle Sovereign God.

Lota had to admit Augusta's strength at this moment.

Although this guy was arrogant and domineering, he indeed possessed the strength to back it up.

"Prepare yourself."

Lota directly transmitted his voice to Ilitana.

His killing of the Four Divine Beasts was partly for Ilitana, in addition to his own reasons.

Her Death Law had reached its extreme, and to break through the final step, she could only rely on enlightenment. With enlightenment, she could reach the Grand Perfection realm. If she couldn't achieve it, she would have no opportunity for further progress for countless years.

However, what kind of opportunity could allow one to break through to Grand Perfection?

There were too few.

Lota himself, as well as the Destruction Overlord Uthred, the Life Overlord Vivian, the Wind Lower Sovereign God Teresa, and Qinghuo in future "plotlines" that Lota knew of, all achieved breakthrough to the Grand Perfection realm by relying on the qualitative change in their souls at the moment of refining a Sovereign Spark, and then using this change to smoothly break through.

A Sovereign Spark was the greatest opportunity in this world.

What could compare to such an opportunity?

From this, one can see the difficulty of breaking through from the extreme of a peak law to Grand Perfection.

Especially since Ilitana was already a Super Divine Beast, the difficulty of breaking through to Grand Perfection was even greater.

This world is fair; the stronger the body, the greater the difficulty in cultivation. If she hadn't become a Sovereign God and enjoyed countless Power of Faith, Ilitana's chances of reaching the final step of the Death Law would have been very slim.

But for Lota, Ilitana was not without a chance.

By utilizing the Undead Crystal he obtained from the Death Overlord, combined with Ilitana's talent divine power.

Observing and participating in the process of a Sovereign God's fall might just allow her to take that final step. After all, Ilitana cultivated the Death Law.

If it were any other law, this method would be completely impossible.

Whether it would succeed, Lota was unsure. He could only say that in his view, if Ilitana couldn't break through under these circumstances, she probably never would.

"Okay."

Ilitana had already learned of the plan from Lota.

She didn't stand on ceremony with Lota. In her view, her own strength was Lota's strength. If she broke through to the Grand Perfection realm, Lota would not be at a disadvantage even when facing a Rule Overlord.

For Lota's sake, she had to break through!

"Mm, I will cooperate with you to unleash your talent divine power."

Lota's tone was steady.

He had already figured out the principle behind Ilitana's talent divine power. By combining it with his own bloodline, he could naturally unleash Ilitana's talent divine power.

The power he displayed now, using Ilitana's talent divine power, even surpassed Ilitana's own execution of it.

After all, Lota's strength was greater.

And using his Essence Blood to unleash the talent divine power was no less powerful than a Super Divine Beast unleashing its own talent divine power. If one didn't know about the existence of the Origin Bloodline, no one would have imagined that Lota could unleash a talent divine power that only Divine Beasts could use.

"Mm."

Ilitana responded. Though her voice was calm, Lota could sense some "nervousness" in her tone.

"Don't worry, this opportunity is no less significant than becoming a Sovereign God."

Lota knew Ilitana was worried about failure, so he spoke to comfort her.

Besides, it wasn't just comfort. In Lota's opinion, participating in the killing of a Sovereign God and becoming a Sovereign God were both incredibly difficult feats.

With the prior preparations, this opportunity was close to becoming a Sovereign God, if not equal to it.

Since the birth of Earth, Sovereign Gods had fallen before.

However, had there ever been a situation where a fallen Sovereign God was used for cultivation? That had never happened.

After comforting Ilitana, Lota said no more. Everything had been arranged. Whether it succeeded or not, it would depend on Ilitana herself.

Afterward, Lota quickly shook off Augusta's entanglement, gripped the "Ilitana" long rod in his hand, unleashed a powerful attack, and smashed directly towards the Four Divine Beasts.

For a moment, in the spatial turbulence, countless black Sovereign Powers appeared from all directions like stars.

It was as if the entire world had completely darkened.

"Hmph, trifling skill."

Augusta saw Lota's move. Although it possessed considerable power, he didn't take it to heart.

"You want to kill the Four Divine Beasts? Did you ask me first?"

Augusta raised the Supreme God Sword in his hand. The power of the Light Lord God descended from the heavens, and the divine sword immediately emitted countless rays of light, completely transforming into a light sword.

Wherever the light sword passed, the darkness was dispelled. It was as if a huge crack had been torn in a black curtain, and a holy aura emanated from the crack.
