A New Fate Sovereign

In the Spatial Turbulence, Desterie's mind stirred. His body transformed in an instant, revealing his Fate Divine Clone while his Destruction Divine Clone returned to the Soul Ocean.

Desterie gazed at the Fate Sovereign Spark before him.

"Rumble—"

In a corner of the boundless Spatial Turbulence, the seven-colored streams of light had flowed as usual. But now, heaven and earth changed in an instant. An overwhelming force of fate filled the entire space, and vast quantities of pure white water appeared around Desterie from nowhere, circling and surrounding him, singing his praises. Those white streams were liquid Fate Sovereign Power—the kind of Sovereign's Might that Asuras spent their whole lives desperately seeking, yet could scarcely obtain even a few drops of.

The mighty currents of Fate Sovereign Power also showed through the spatial fissure, revealing themselves to all the commanders and the Seven-Star and Six-Star powerhouses. They stared blankly at this scene, unseen for countless ages. One commander who knew Desterie and had noticed him rushing into the Spatial Turbulence murmured, "Could it be... he became a Sovereign?!"

The ones who witnessed this were not only the divine fighters battling in the Galaxy Channel, but also the lofty Sovereigns who had arrived late.

"Stop right there!" the Four Divine Beasts and the other Sovereigns had finally arrived. Seeing what was happening, White Tiger Sovereign Us roared.

But his furious shout was futile. The Fate Sovereign Spark had already disappeared into Desterie's forehead.

A new Fate Sovereign had been born!

Hearing an unfamiliar roar, Desterie had no time to savor the wonder and power of becoming a Sovereign. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the newcomers, his gaze sharp. There were dozens of them, and apart from the Sovereign of Death, he recognized none. But there was no doubt that every one of them was a Sovereign!

"How dare you refine that Sovereign Spark!" The speaker was a red-robed female Sovereign, whose hair blazed like flames, wild and untamed.

"Heh. Nemo, he's an Intermediate Sovereign now. He's no weaker than you, so there's no need to speak to him like that!" This time it was the Sovereign of Death who spoke. First she had ended Heaven's Ten-Win Streak, and now she had watched her own Sovereign's Envoy get lucky and refine a Sovereign Spark. Her mood was almost frighteningly good.

Intermediate Sovereign? He'd actually refined a Mid-level Sovereign Spark? Hearing the Sovereign of Death, Desterie was overjoyed.

He had expected it to be a Lower Sovereign Spark, most likely. He hadn't imagined it could be a Mid-level Sovereign Spark—what a wonderful surprise. But the Sovereign Spark seemed connected to the Four Divine Beasts, and that was trouble. Even ordinary Overlords had no answer to the Four Divine Beasts' combined attack, let alone an Intermediate Sovereign.

Desterie shifted his gaze to the Sovereign of Death and immediately made up his mind. He would probably have to keep relying on this "old client." If he had someone powerful backing him, he might as well take advantage of it.

Still, it was better to rely on himself than on others. While counting on the Sovereign of Death, he also needed a backup plan. His awareness sank into his Soul Space, where he found that his Destruction Divine Clone had rapidly gained Willpower equivalent to eighty percent of a Paragon's, thanks to the Sovereign Spark's transformation.

Even more surprisingly, the Companion White Jade was spinning rapidly, something it rarely did. Faint Willpower radiated from around it as well. Seeing this, Desterie felt even more confident.

When he had become a god, then a Midgod, and then a Highgod, the Companion White Jade had spun rapidly in the same way. Afterward, the power of Soul Protection had greatly increased. Judging by past experience, Soul Protection could now guard against any soul attack at the Sovereign level.

In other words, even if the Four Divine Beasts amplified their innate ability ten thousand times, they still couldn't break through this defense—unless they attacked twice in a row! But who would use the same move twice?

Desterie straightened up and smiled faintly. "What is there to fear, Sovereign?"

"Desterie, she's Nemo, a Fire Element Sovereign from Hell—and one of the Sovereigns of the Four Divine Beasts Clan you know so well. Don't underestimate them. Those four just joined forces to kill Angnak, an Intermediate Fate Sovereign!" The Sovereign of Death was in a genuinely good mood and kindly warned him.

Forget an Intermediate Sovereign—even an ordinary Overlord couldn't withstand their attack! Desterie still smiled faintly. "Thank you for telling me, my lady. Then I should thank them as well. After all, if those four Sovereigns hadn't been so generous, I wouldn't have had the chance to become a Sovereign, would I?"

Vivian and the Sovereign of Death both burst out laughing at that, and the other Sovereigns couldn't help laughing either.

The Four Divine Beasts had made a move, only for an Highgod to benefit from it. Who could they even complain to?

First, Angnak had insulted and falsely accused them, then attacked, forcing them to fight back and reveal their strength. After finally killing Angnak, they'd had the prize snatched by a Highgod—and now that same Highgod was mocking them with pointed remarks. Even Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen, the mildest-tempered of the Four Divine Beasts, couldn't hold back any longer. Furious, he said, "You've gone too far! Don't blame us for showing no mercy!

"I was willing to let you keep your other Divine Clones if you listened and returned the Sovereign Spark. But now, you're dead!"

Desterie continued to smile. "I got the Sovereign Spark through my own ability. Why should I give it to you? If you're capable, come and take it!"

This Sovereign Spark meant that he and the Four Divine Beasts were natural enemies. Desterie had never intended to treat them kindly.

The Sovereigns stared in astonishment at the arrogant newcomer. What gave him the nerve to act this way after learning that the Four Divine Beasts had just killed an Intermediate Sovereign?!

Azure Dragon Leiding stepped forward and said gravely, "Since you're asking for death, I'll make your wish come true! Attack!"

As soon as he spoke, Leiding, Nemo, Us, and Bowen all transformed into their divine beast forms. Their auras began to connect, as if they were gathering power for some mighty attack.

Just then, the Sovereign of Death's smile vanished. She spoke sharply. "Leiding, you're at the Overlord rank. Don't forget the Sovereign Agreement. You can't attack a Sovereign of a lower rank!"

Leiding froze, his enormous blue dragon head still for half a second. "How have we four Lower Sovereigns suddenly become Overlords?"

"Hmph. The four of you joined forces and killed Angnak, an Intermediate Fate Sovereign, in an instant. Do you still think of yourselves as Lower Sovereigns?" Thunder Element Overgod Hullei sneered. As the strongest among the Law Overlords, he had no fear of the Four Divine Beasts' combined attack.

"Hullei, listen to yourself. Was Angnak an ordinary Intermediate Sovereign? Heaven once achieved a Ten-Win Streak countless years ago. Angnak was naturally ten times stronger than other Intermediate Sovereigns. Even I couldn't kill him instantly in a head-on fight!" After exchanging a glance with the Sovereign of Death, Darkness Overgod Black added.
