Within the chaotic space, Desterie shifted his intent, and his body transformed; his Fate divine clone appeared, while his Destruction divine clone retreated into his soul ocean.

Desterie gazed at the Fate Chief God Spark before him.

"Rumble--"

This corner of the vast, boundless chaotic space, originally filled with seven-colored flowing light, suddenly underwent a drastic change. Fate energy, dense to a terrifying degree, instantly flooded the entire space. A massive amount of pure white liquid appeared out of thin air around Desterie, circling him, surrounding him, and praising him. These pure white streams were none other than liquefied Fate Chief God power—the very power that Asuras would spend their entire lives desperately seeking, yet struggle to obtain even a few drops of.

The vast, surging torrent of Fate Chief God power also spilled through the spatial rifts, revealing itself to all the Commanders and the seven-star and six-star powerhouses. They stared blankly at this scene, which was rarely seen throughout the ages. Among them, a Commander who recognized Desterie and had noticed him rushing into the chaotic space muttered in a daze, "Could it be... he has become a Chief God?!"

It was not only the God-level experts in the Galaxy Channel who witnessed this; the high and mighty, yet tardy, Chief Gods also arrived.

"Stop right there--!" Seeing this scene, the Four Divine Beasts and the other Chief Gods finally arrived, and the White Tiger Sovereign Ers roared.

But his roar was destined to be in vain, for that Fate Chief God Spark had already submerged into the center of Desterie's brow.

A new Fate Chief God was born!

Hearing the unknown roar, Desterie had no time to savor the beauty and power of having just become a Chief God. He quickly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as he looked at the newcomers. There were dozens of them in total, and apart from the Sovereign of Death, he did not recognize a single one. But without a doubt, every one of them was a Chief God!

"You actually dared to refine this Chief God Spark!" The speaker was a female Chief God in red, her hair burning like flames, wild and unrestrained.

"Hehe, Nemo, he is a middle-stage Chief God now, no weaker than you. You don't need to speak like that!" This time, it was the Sovereign of Death who spoke. Having just ended the Heavenly Realm's ten-game winning streak and immediately seeing her own Chief God emissary luckily refine a Chief God Spark, her mood was terrifyingly good.

A middle-stage Chief God? He had actually refined a middle-stage Chief God Spark? Hearing the words of the Sovereign of Death, Desterie was overjoyed.

He had originally assumed there was a high probability it was a low-stage Chief God Spark; he hadn't expected it to be a middle-stage one, which was truly a pleasant surprise. However, this Chief God Spark seemed to be related to the Four Divine Beasts, which was troublesome. Even ordinary Overgods had no solution for that move of the Four Divine Beasts, let alone a middle-stage Chief God.

Desterie shifted his gaze to the Sovereign of Death, and a judgment formed in his mind: he would likely have to continue relying on this "old patron." Since he had a backer, he might as well use it.

However, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. While leaning on the Sovereign of Death, he also needed to leave himself a way out. As his consciousness sank into his soul space, Desterie discovered that under the transformation of the Chief God Spark, his Destruction divine clone had also rapidly gained willpower equivalent to eighty percent of a Paragon's.

And that Companion White Jade was, for once, spinning non-stop. Even more surprisingly, it was emitting a faint aura of willpower. Seeing this, Desterie felt even more confident.

In the past, when he became a God, a middle-stage God, and a high-stage God, the Companion White Jade had also spun rapidly like this, and subsequently, his "Soul Protection" ability had been greatly enhanced. Based on his experience, his current "Soul Protection" was sufficient to defend against any soul attack from the Chief God level.

In other words, even with the Four Divine Beasts' combined innate talent amplification of ten thousand times, they could not break this layer of defense, unless they attacked twice in a row! But generally speaking, who would use the same move twice?

Thus, Desterie looked up and smiled faintly, "This Chief God, why would I not dare?"

"Desterie, she is the Fire Element Sovereign Nemo from the Infernal Realm, the very Chief God of the Four Divine Beasts Clan you know so well. Don't underestimate them; the four of them just joined forces to kill the Fate middle-stage Chief God Angnak!" The Sovereign of Death was in a truly good mood and reminded him kindly.

Not to mention a middle-stage Chief God, even an ordinary Overgod couldn't withstand a single strike from them! Desterie continued to smile faintly, "Thank you for the information, my Lord. Then I must express my gratitude to them. After all, if it weren't for the four Chief Gods' generosity, I wouldn't have had the chance to become a Chief God, would I?!"

Hearing this, Vivian and the Sovereign of Death both burst into laughter, and the other Chief Gods couldn't help but chuckle as well.

The Four Divine Beasts took action, and in the end, a high-stage God benefited—who could they even reason with about this?

Having been subjected to Angnak's rude accusations and attacks, and forced to reveal his strength in self-defense, they had finally killed Angnak, only to have a high-stage God swoop in and steal the prize. Now, this high-stage God even dared to mock them with stinging words. This time, even the most even-tempered of the Four Divine Beasts, the Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen, could no longer hold back. He said indignantly, "You have gone too far! Don't blame us for being impolite!

I had intended to allow you to keep your other divine clones if you were willing to listen to reason and return the Chief God Spark, but now, you must die!"

Desterie remained smiling, "I obtained this Chief God Spark with my own ability; why should I give it to you? If you have the ability, come and take it yourself!"

This Chief God Spark destined him to be a natural enemy of the Four Divine Beasts, so Desterie never thought of trying to appease them.

The Chief Gods looked at this arrogant new Chief God in astonishment. Knowing that the Four Divine Beasts had just killed a middle-stage Chief God, where did he get the confidence to act like this?!

The Azure Dragon Leiding also stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Since you are seeking your own death, I will make your dream come true! Let's go!"

As the words fell, Leiding, Nemo, Ers, and Bowen all transformed into their divine beast forms. Immediately, the auras between the Four Divine Beasts began to link, seemingly brewing some kind of powerful attack.

Just then, the Sovereign of Death suddenly retracted her smile and spoke sternly, "Leiding, you are at the Overgod rank. Don't forget the Chief God Agreement: you cannot attack Chief Gods of a lower rank!"

Leiding froze, his massive azure dragon head stalling for half a second, "Since when did we four low-stage Chief Gods become the Overgod rank!"

"Hmph, the four of you combined can instantly kill the Fate middle-stage Chief God Angnak, and you still consider yourselves low-stage Chief Gods?" The Thunder Element Overgod Hullei sneered. As the number one among the Law Overgods, he was confident enough not to fear the combined attack of the Four Divine Beasts.

"Hullei, look at what you're saying. Is Angnak an ordinary middle-stage Chief God? The Heavenly Realm won a ten-game winning streak countless years ago; Angnak is naturally ten times stronger than other middle-stage Chief Gods. Even I couldn't kill Angnak instantly in a head-on fight!" The Darkness Overgod Black exchanged a look with the Sovereign of Death and added.
