The System Only Activated After I Became an Overgod

Then Augusta turned into a stream of light and charged directly at Lota's attack.

He could not simply watch Lota kill the Four Divine Beasts.

Lota was not the least bit surprised by Augusta's actions. Or rather, he had already expected this.

The instant Augusta blocked this move, countless gray-black vine tendrils suddenly grew from the "Ilitana" long rod in Lota's hand. In the blink of an eye, they formed an enormous vine cage spanning ten thousand meters.

The cage enveloped both Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts.

Although Augusta and the four Leiding brothers wanted to evade it, they simply could not react in time.

From afar, the area where Lota, Augusta, and the four Leiding brothers were fighting had completely become a ten-thousand-meter cage radiating a gray, deathly aura.

Even Spiritual Sense could not penetrate the cage.

At the same time, a phantom vine stretching a million meters appeared outside the cage.

The phantom vine was entirely gray, with three main branches covered in short gray-gold spikes. As it swayed, the phantom vine shot out three gray streams of light.

Behind the streams of light, openings resembling mouths appeared at the tips of the three main branches' phantoms, which directly closed around the cage formed by Ilitana.

It was as though another cage had wrapped itself around the first.

"Is this... Ilitana's Talent Divine Power?"

As the Death Overlord watched this scene, a glimmer appeared deep in her eyes.

Ever since Ilitana had become an Overgod, it had never used its Talent Divine Power. After all, as Lota's weapon, it had never had the chance to use it.

Thus, its use of its Talent Divine Power now naturally drew the attention of quite a few Overgods.

This was especially true for the Death Overlord. She herself was also a plant-type Super Divine Beast of the Death System. Though she differed from Ilitana, they still had many similarities.

Under such circumstances, seeing Ilitana use its Talent Divine Power naturally drew more of her attention.

The other Overgods were the same, all focusing on the situation in the arena.

Even Ofu was somewhat surprised.

After all, he was Augusta. Even without actively sensing anything, he could roughly understand Augusta's current condition.

Augusta had actually been trapped by this move?!

Did Ilitana's Talent Divine Power also involve space?

If it did not involve space, how could Augusta's strength possibly allow him to be trapped even briefly?

After all, the gap in their strength was simply too great. If it were Lota, that would make sense. But Ilitana? It was still lacking.

Therefore, this move definitely involved space.

For countless years, the primary direction of Ofu's research had been various Talent Divine Powers and techniques involving space.

For a time, Ofu developed considerable interest in Ilitana's Talent Divine Power.

He even directly sent a voice transmission to Augusta's soul. "Find a way to experience the effects of this technique."

Although Sovereign's Might could not penetrate the cage for the moment, the two were one person. Soul voice transmission was not affected in the slightest.

Upon hearing Ofu's voice transmission, Augusta's expression within the cage darkened further. Madman, he's still thinking about research at a time like this!

Even so, he had no intention of disobeying Ofu's words.

Thus, Augusta actually gave up on breaking free with his full strength. Instead, he resisted the surrounding restraints within a small area and carefully experienced the sensation.

Naturally, Lota and Ilitana did not know what Ofu was thinking. Lota cooperated with Ilitana in using its Talent Divine Power, temporarily trapping Augusta and the four Leiding brothers.

If it had been someone else's Talent Divine Power, even if Lota understood its principles, it would have been difficult for him to cooperate in using it this way.

However, he had been with Ilitana for countless years. While researching Ilitana's Talent Divine Power, he had discovered this method of cooperation through a fortunate coincidence by using his own bloodline.

Of course, this also had a great deal to do with Ilitana's willing cooperation. Had he been left to research it alone, even if he could have figured it out, he would not have found this cooperative technique.

With the two working together, the Talent Divine Power's might could not only be increased, but it also served as concealment for Lota himself.

After all, to outsiders, this move was Ilitana's Talent Divine Power. No one would imagine that it was a technique cast by Lota.

"Use the Undead Crystal."

Lota's voice sounded deep within Ilitana's mind.

"Alright."

Ilitana's voice responded.

As the Undead Crystal was used, countless undead phantoms suddenly emerged from the cage that appeared to outsiders to radiate a deathly aura. The deathly aura immediately spread, and even Overgods hundreds of millions of miles away could clearly sense the undead's presence.

For a time, many Overgods were shocked, having no idea what had happened.

"An Undead Crystal?"

A ripple appeared in the eyes of the Life Overlord, who had remained silent all this time. She could not help looking at the Death Overlord. "Big Sister."

Only Big Sister possessed Undead Crystals. Even obtaining one for herself was no simple matter.

"I made some transactions with Lota."

The Death Overlord spoke a single sentence, both explaining things to the Life Overlord and informing Ofu and Uthred that she supported Lota.

Upon hearing this, the Life Overlord merely nodded and asked no further questions.

Uthred frowned slightly, but he did not say anything.

Only Ofu smiled amiably. "With an Undead Crystal, it seems Lota is determined to obtain the Four Divine Beasts."

Though he did not possess an Undead Crystal, that did not prevent him from knowing something about it.

This thing had an extremely powerful effect on souls. It could save people, but it could also kill them. Most importantly, this kind of attack could not be negated, somewhat resembling the Four Divine Beasts' Talent Divine Power.

However, unlike the Four Divine Beasts' Talent Divine Power, it did not involve time and space. It purely affected the soul. It could be considered the strangest form of "attack" in heaven and earth.

"Roar~"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura and the powerful roars of divine beasts erupted from within the cage. Heaven and earth trembled, and even the cage showed signs of shattering.

An exceedingly powerful aura spread from within the cage.

Everyone was very familiar with this aura.

The Four Divine Beasts were joining forces to use their Talent Divine Power.

Clearly, the Four Divine Beasts had likely been forced into a desperate situation. Otherwise, they could not possibly have used their Talent Divine Power again after such a short time. This could be called their final trump card.

Had they encountered danger within the cage?

It seemed Ilitana's Talent Divine Power was rather special as well. It had actually forced the Four Divine Beasts to use their Talent Divine Power.

However, everyone believed that since the Four Divine Beasts had used their Talent Divine Power, Ilitana likely could not withstand it and might even perish.

For Lota, that would be a loss.

But upon careful thought, without their Talent Divine Power, the Four Divine Beasts would merely be four Sovereign Sparks before Lota.

Trading Ilitana for the four Leiding brothers would not be a loss.

But the next second, everyone was stunned!

The Four Divine Beasts' aura,

vanished!

"Impossible!"

Some Overgods even cried out in shock.

Not only that, as the Four Divine Beasts' aura suddenly vanished, Ilitana, which everyone had expected to perish, instead underwent a certain change in its aura.

Ilitana had blocked the Four Divine Beasts' Talent Divine Power???

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Ofu's eyes, which had remained unchanged all this time, narrowed unconsciously.

Augusta could block the Four Divine Beasts' Talent Divine Power because of his Supreme Artifact for Soul Defense. Lota might also be able to block it through his own strength, but Ilitana?

How could it possibly block it?!

This was completely impossible.

Even if Ilitana had reached the Grand Perfection Realm, it could not possibly block it.

Just as Ilitana's aura changed, the Heaven and Earth Rule suddenly descended.

Ilitana's aura immediately withdrew, no longer leaking out in the slightest.

Death Rule Grand Perfection!

Every Overgod watching this scene had the same thought.

What had happened?

The Four Divine Beasts had used their Talent Divine Power to attack Ilitana within "Ilitana's" Talent Divine Power. Not only had the Four Divine Beasts lost, but they had even helped Ilitana reach the Grand Perfection Realm?

The instant Ilitana reached the Grand Perfection Realm, the cage collapsed and vanished.

The figures of Lota and Augusta appeared. As for the Four Divine Beasts, they had disappeared without a trace. Only their lingering powerful aura and some Sovereign's Might that had yet to fully dissipate remained.

Augusta's face was ashen as he looked at Lota, his eyes filled with fury.

Seeing this scene, even though the surrounding Overgods did not know what had happened inside the cage, they could all guess that the Four Divine Beasts had already perished, and that everything had likely fallen into Lota's hands.

An Overgod had fallen!

The Four Divine Beasts were dead!

Since the Faith War, an Overgod had fallen once again!

An unconcealable smile appeared on Lota's face. He glanced at Augusta and the other Overgods before speaking. "Everyone, I'll be returning to the Dark God Realm first."

After saying that, Lota intended to leave directly.

"Lota."

At that moment, Uthred's voice suddenly rang out.

However, before Lota could respond, the Death Overlord spoke with a smile. "What? Uthred, are you planning to interfere in this matter?"

Ofu and the Life Overlord also watched Uthred without any change in expression.

As the Death Overlord's words fell, Uthred noticed the gazes of the three. His brows furrowed slightly, but he did not lose his temper. Instead, he looked at Lota and directly sent a voice transmission. "Lota, the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood is very important to me. How about I exchange a favor for some of it?"

Lota looked at the other Overgods, then at Uthred. With a calm tone, he smiled. "My apologies, but the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood is also very important to me. I have no intention of giving it away for now."

After saying this, Lota ignored Uthred's darkening expression and directly transformed into a stream of light, flying toward the Dark God Realm.

With the Death Overlord present, Uthred could not truly do anything to him.

Besides, even if Uthred wanted to do something, Lota was not afraid.

Ouke...

A favor from the Destruction Overlord?

In Lota's eyes, this was one of the most useless things there was.

Especially for the strong, it was extremely tasteless. Only to the weak did it offer a little intimidation.

Or rather, such a favor was merely a reason or excuse for Overgods to attack one another. It was also one of the loopholes in the Sovereign God Agreement.

After all, so long as they were repaying a favor, high-ranking Overgods could completely slaughter low-ranking Overgods.

If Uthred wished to trade for the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood from Lota using some so-called favor, just as in Earth Memory, that was impossible.

The Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood had allowed Uthred to create "Time-Space Distortion," and Ofu had then used the principles of Time-Space Distortion in his own Ultimate move. Later, with the Magic Array, he had created the perfected "Transcendence of Reincarnation."

It could be said that both Uthred's and Ofu's Ultimate moves had been influenced by the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood, and the effect had been substantial.

Possessing the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood was equivalent to restraining those two guys' Ultimate moves. At least for a short time, neither Uthred nor Ofu could possess the strength to completely crush the Death Overlord and the Life Overlord.

Likewise, Lota no longer needed to worry too much that the two would affect him.

After Lota left, Uthred's expression beneath the darkness turned somewhat displeased.
