Seizing Fate

Uthred was about to speak when Sovereign of Life Vivian suddenly interrupted the conversation, "Big Sister, Uthred, stop arguing. Just now, the Netherworld actually secured a victory in one of the Galaxy Channels!"

Her tone was filled with utter disbelief; such a development had completely exceeded her expectations.

Uthred asked in astonishment, "How is that possible? It was clear that the Heavenly Realm held the advantage in both channels!"

He once again cast his "gaze" toward the Galaxy Channels, though his peripheral vision inadvertently caught a glimpse of Orloff.

The Sovereign of Fate, known for his gentle temperament, was currently ashen-faced, suppressing a rage that threatened to erupt at any moment. How could this be? Given Orloff's personality, even in the face of a setback, he shouldn't be this unable to keep his composure!

In just this brief moment, the time it took to exchange a few words, what exactly had happened on the Galaxy Channel?!

Sovereign of Death scanned the Galaxy Channel and also said in an extremely shocked voice, "It was the other Galaxy Channel that won!"

"It is the Paragon Iluka. He, he actually defected!"

The Destruction Paragon Iluka was the only one among the known Paragons who cultivated the Laws of Destruction.

He had lived in seclusion in the material planes for many years until, just before this Plane War, his tracks were discovered by the middle-rank Sovereign of Fate Angnak and the Sovereigns of the Four Divine Beasts. Later, Angnak entrusted the lower-rank Sovereign of Earth Manlu to invite him out to assist the Heavenly Realm in the Plane War.

As the only Paragon in this session of the Plane War, his existence could be said to have swayed the outcome of the victory, and it also signaled the arrival of a ten-game winning streak for the Heavenly Realm.

Yet, a figure such as this had actually defected!

With his defection, the Heavenly Realm legion in one Galaxy Channel was attacked from both sides and cleared out extremely quickly, and because of this, the Netherworld achieved victory in one of the Galaxy Channels! This ensured that, at the very least, the Netherworld would secure a draw in this Plane War!

In fact, it was more than just a draw; this half-victory directly ended the Heavenly Realm's ten-game winning streak and prevented the Fate-aligned Sovereigns from being rewarded with another portion of Willpower, which held epoch-making significance for the collective of Sovereigns!

Unless he never left the Plane Battlefield for the rest of his life, he would inevitably be targeted and annihilated by the Fate-aligned Sovereigns!

But that was impossible. After the final decisive battle, the Plane Battlefield would soon close, and no one could remain inside, including a Paragon who possessed Willpower!

The Sovereigns watching the battle fell into an eerie silence.

"Angnak, Manlu, what is the meaning of this!" Compared to the forcibly calm Orloff, Augusta was unable to suppress his fury and immediately erupted, breaking the silence first.

Manlu was flustered and hurriedly argued, "My Lord, Lord Orloff, I don't know! I truly don't understand why Iluka would do such a thing!"

Angnak was even more lost in his rage, merely muttering, "Impossible, how could such a thing happen!"

"Hahahaha—" At this moment, the Sovereign of Vermilion Bird Nemo laughed heartily. Disregarding the fact that both Augusta and Orloff were in a state of suppressed anger, she only knew that Angnak had suffered a loss so bitter he couldn't even voice it, having lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet, which made her feel incredibly satisfied.

Hearing Nemo's laughter, Angnak's hateful gaze gathered upon her. Recalling that it was he who had discovered Iluka alongside the Four Divine Beasts, his rage surged even higher. "It was you, the Four Divine Beasts. It must have been you who tampered with things, causing Iluka to betray us. It was you who plotted and acted as his backers; otherwise, as a Paragon, where would he find the guts to do such a thing!"

"Watch your words, Angnak. We are not afraid of you. Why don't you tell us what we could possibly offer to make Iluka choose to backstab the Heavenly Realm? Is he, a Paragon, really that stupid?" The voice of the Azure Dragon Chief God Leiding rang out like thunder, deafening to the ears.

"No, it is you who are playing tricks!" Under Leiding's aggressive stance, Angnak's rage completely overwhelmed his reason!

Destrie was completely unaware of what was happening in the spatial turbulence, but that did not prevent him from noticing that the dazzling seven-colored light of the other Galaxy Channel was rapidly receding until it vanished.

"The outcome has been decided over there?!" Every powerhouse who noticed this scene reached the same conclusion, and they immediately grew anxious.

The Heavenly Realm side assumed that since there was a Paragon on the other side, the Heavenly Realm must have won, and they waited joyfully for the arrival of reinforcements. Meanwhile, the Netherworld side increased their firepower to the maximum, hoping to reverse the situation or even secure a victory before the Heavenly Realm's reinforcements arrived!

No one dared to be a deserter; history and experience had proven that deserters would be settled by the Sovereigns after leaving the Plane Battlefield!

Destrie also grew anxious. He clearly remembered that in the "Foresight" vision, the seven-colored light of the Galaxy Channel had not dissipated when the Chief God Spark appeared! Since the outcome of the other channel had already been decided, there was not much time left for this one!

"Kill—!" The commanders and soldiers of the Netherworld began a desperate last stand, attacking with a "fight to the death" mentality.

Just at this moment, "Strong Luck" took effect!

At almost the exact same instant, Destrie and Croken both keenly spotted a brilliant crystal flashing within a spatial rift!

Moreover, compared to Croken, who saw it from afar, Destrie was positioned almost right next to this spatial rift without hindering his movements!

Now!

A massive amount of material and soul attacks landed on Croken, who had been distracted by the Chief God Spark. Croken's eyes immediately plunged into darkness.

The Prefect of Tianluo, Croken, had fallen!

Now!

Amidst a crowd of bewildered gazes, Destrie burned all of his Sovereign Power to the limit and charged straight into the spatial rift!

After entering the spatial rift, he utilized the momentum and used his Sovereign Power to form a long arm in front of him, gripping it with all his might. The treasure of heaven and earth, radiating a white halo, was seized in his hand; he had grasped his fate!

Without hesitation, Destrie used his other hand to wield his Sovereign Artifact and slashed fiercely at the arm he was controlling with his Sovereign Power. Immediately, a large amount of blood submerged the Chief God Spark.

Suddenly, in this terrifying spatial turbulence where one could not control themselves, the drifting Chief God Spark stabilized, quietly hovering there. A mysterious white light radiated outward, illuminating this patch of spatial turbulence and the spatial rifts within it.

Those commanders who had been fighting incessantly all looked through the spatial rifts, sensing this terrifying aura of power and seeing this incredibly intense light of the Chief God. Like the light of heaven, it spilled down onto the Galaxy Channel, which was filled with blood and slaughter. Even the seven-colored light of the Galaxy Channel was eclipsed by this pure white radiance.

What kind of war could compare to witnessing the birth of a Sovereign?!
