Linley vs. Augusta

"Linley, why did you kill Bote'er and Manlu? You've violated the covenant of the Overgod!"

Augusta's Divine Sense covered the entire Hell, and he questioned Linley in a cold tone.

"Augusta, I am also Low-Sovereign. How have I violated the agreement of the Overgod?"

Upon hearing this, Linley immediately retorted.

"The ranking is based on strength. You, Linley, were able to kill Bote'er in one move, so your strength is clearly at least at the Mid-Sovereign level. Killing them is against the rules!"

Augusta gave a cold laugh, his tone becoming even icy.

"The premise of the agreement Overgod is that the lower-ranking Overgod do not offend the higher-ranking Overgod. If Bote'er and Manlu want to kill me, my retaliatory killing of them is not considered a violation of the agreement."

Linley stared coldly at Augusta and continued to retort.

"With your strength, neither Bote'er Bötzer could kill you. Your reasons are invalid. Surrender now and await trial!"

Augusta's tone was icy, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand, the surrounding space quickly being covered by an intense white halo.

"Ridiculous. According to your logic, Low-Sovereign tries to kill Overlord but is too weak to do so, does that mean they haven't offended the Overlord? And the Overlord can't kill them either?"

Linley scoffed at Augusta's words, realizing that Augusta seemed to be targeting him intentionally. A golden Liuying appeared in his hand, and the Fused Sovereign Power surged within him.

"I told you, you need to stand trial now. Don't worry, I will be fair and just. Even if I kill your two main Divine Clone, I will preserve your Divine Clone."

Augusta remained firm in his opinion, showing some dissatisfaction with Linley's attitude.

"I'm afraid I can't comply. If you want to judge me, then try it yourself!"

Linley, gripping his longsword, stood in the air like a War God.

"It seems you're not going to surrender. Well then, prepare to die!"

Augusta spoke indifferently, and then moved. The golden sun rose high into the sky, and then fell like an ordinary shooting star.

The golden longsword in Augusta's hand emitted a dazzling white light, and a golden lightning-like sword shadow shot towards Linley in an instant.

"The Sword Intent of Four Mysteries Fusion!"

Linley's Shadow-Retaining Divine Sword traced a strange arc as the earth and Fire Element Sovereign Power within him instantly merged and activated.

"Boom~~"

Under the intense impact, Linley unleashed an attack a hundred times stronger than before, and the translucent sword shadow pierced through Augusta's light sphere attack in an instant.

"What?"

Augusta was startled, and then a golden halo suddenly appeared on his body, blocking Linley's attack.

"Your strength has already reached the level of Overlord. With such strength, you still dare to say that you haven't violated the agreement of the Overgod? Die!"

While Augusta was inwardly surprised, she still remembered to pin the blame on Linley, transforming into a white streak of light and rushing towards Linley.

At this moment, Linley already possessed the Willpower from the Four-Element Soul Mutation, coupled with a physical body at the level of Sovereign Artifact, two portions of Willpower fused with the profound mysteries of Mysteries laws, as well as the Willpower bestowed by the main Divine Clone and the Fused Sovereign Power.

At this point, Linley's strength had truly reached the Overlord level, not much weaker than Augusta, and perhaps even surpassing her.

"If you want to kill me, Augusta, then prepare to die!"

Linley sneered, and the longsword in his hand roared once again. At the same time, his body suddenly split into two, the two main Divine Clone earth and fire, and they separated.

"Hmm? Using a clone?"

Augusta frowned, looking at Linley with some confusion, but her hands moved quickly, the golden longsword flashing as she slashed at Linley with his fiery red hair.

A crimson longsword appeared in the hand of Linley's Fire Sovereign Clone, and with the surging of Fused Divine Power, the ultimate move was activated once again.

"Bang!"

The intense collision shattered space instantly, and the terrifying impact sent Augusta directly into Spatial Turbulence, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Your Fire Sovereign Clone is actually no weaker than your Earth Clone?"

Augusta couldn't help but gasp, looking at Linley as if he were a monster.

"You have no time to be surprised now!"

After Linley's cold voice rang out, Augusta suddenly came to her senses and turned her head to look, only to see that Linley's Earth Divine Clone had already arrived in front of her.

"No!!"

A white halo suddenly erupted from Augusta's body, and the raging Sovereign’s Might instantly formed a defense, while his figure retreated at lightning speed.

Despite this, Linley's attack still landed on Augusta, severing his entire lower body and Augusta looking extremely disheveled.

At this moment, the Overgod sensed the commotion rushed out of the Spatial Turbulence one by one, and their eyes widened when they saw this scene.

"Linley, you deserve to die!"

Augusta's voice instantly distorted, filled with boundless rage. His disheveled state had clearly been witnessed by everyone, something he could not accept.

Since Oufu's identity was exposed, no one has ever made Augusta so embarrassed. Even the Sovereign of Death and the Life Overlord would give him face out of respect for Oufu.

But now, he was actually beaten so badly by Linley, who was previously only a Low-Sovereign, which Augusta could not accept.

"I deserve to die? Maybe it'll be you who dies!"

Linley's two clones erupted simultaneously, flying abruptly towards Augusta.

Linley knew that Augusta was an alter ego of Oufu, and killing him might provoke Oufu's wrath. However, Augusta had already decided to kill Linley, so the two would inevitably fight to the death. Naturally, Linley would not hold back.

"Hahaha! Linley, experience this move!"

A look of madness flashed in Augusta's eyes, and then half of his body suddenly erupted with terrifying power, and four afterimages appeared around him.

Earthy yellow sword shadows, pale blue sword shadows, crimson sword shadows, and emerald green sword shadows swirled around Augusta.

"This is... Oufu's special move? How is this possible! How could Augusta use it?"

Among the watching Overgod, the Sovereign of Death couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although Augusta is indeed Oufu, and theoretically he could use Oufu's special moves, that's not actually the case. The ultimate move, Transcending Samsara, is far too complex. Even if one understands the principle, one needs the enlightenment of Fate Grand Perfection to use it.

Augusta had not even reached the Radiant Paragon, so he couldn't even fully comprehend this move, and theoretically, it was impossible for him to use it.

"Linley, ever since Oufu completed that move, I've been thinking about how to use it myself. Although I've been rather lax in my training, over the years I've found a way: to Compressed Magic Array's formation to reduce its power!"

Augusta's voice held a hint of smugness, which then turned into anger:

"Although the power of this move I use can't compare to the amplification from Oufu, it's enough to kill you!"

As Augusta's voice rang out, a massive, condensed sword shadow descended.
