"It's a pity!"

Seeing Linley's attack blocked by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, the Sovereigns behind Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred all sighed inwardly.

With Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff present, Chief Sovereign Linley had no chance of killing Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

Unless Lord Wodred entered the fray.

Thinking of this, the Sovereigns subconsciously glanced at Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred.

Unfortunately, although Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred was furious that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had passed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns that he had comprehended to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, he had no intention of making a move.

Ten thousand years ago, in his battle against Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had lost.

This technique was precisely what Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had lost to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Although he was displeased, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred was not someone who could not accept defeat.

Since he had lost this technique to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, then it was Orloff's freedom to teach it to whomever he wished.

At worst, Wodred could find an opportunity to beat up Light Chief Sovereign Augusta a few times in the future to vent his anger.

As for the humiliation Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had inflicted upon him, once his strength surpassed Orloff's and he defeated him, Wodred swore that he would spread the technique he had won from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff throughout the entire Infernal Realm!

At that time, he would see where Orloff could put his face!

...

Boom!

Linley held his sword with both hands and was knocked back by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

At this moment, neither Linley nor Orloff was using the innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns. Using the same technique would only waste the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns that both sides regarded as trump cards, and fundamentally could not inflict much damage upon the other.

In terms of normal strength, Linley was ten times weaker than Orloff.

However, Linley currently possessed an attacking Overgod artifact, while Orloff only possessed a soul-protecting Overgod artifact and a material-defense Overgod artifact.

Thus, although Linley's attacks could not injure Orloff, Linley could still use the Life Overgod Sword in his hand to break Orloff's attacks.

However, judging from the situation on the battlefield, Orloff, who could ignore Linley's attacks, held the advantage. Under Orloff's attacks, Linley was continuously forced backward.

At this moment, Linley and Orloff were just like Linley and Augusta had been earlier.

The difference was that earlier, Augusta had been beaten until he vomited blood, whereas now, Linley was the one being beaten until he vomited blood.

"Linley, with me here, it is impossible for you to kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta."

"Why don't you stop here? I can guarantee to you that I will make Light Chief Sovereign release your mother, and then the grudge between the two of you will end here. How about it?"

"Orloff, I already told you before, didn't I?"

"As far as I'm concerned, you have no face left."

Although Linley was at a disadvantage, he did not yield in the slightest in his tone.

"If you had shown even the slightest bit of remorse during these ten thousand years, my mother would not still be without her freedom today."

"Now, I only believe in myself!"

"Unless Augusta dies, I will not be satisfied!"

"Linley, there is truly no room for negotiation?"

Orloff seemed to still want to salvage the relationship between Linley and Augusta.

Unfortunately, this time, Linley had already made up his mind.

Apart from Chief Sovereign Locke, he trusted no one!

"Stop wasting your breath, Orloff."

"Between Augusta and me, either he dies or I do!"

"Alas..."

Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff sighed. Then, the smile on his face faded.

"In that case, you can't blame me!"

After his expression changed, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff struck Linley with a palm, knocking him backward. He then turned his head and calmly said to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, "Augusta, remove your ownership of the attacking Overgod artifact and give it to me. I will kill Linley for you!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's words, the Sovereigns immediately erupted into an uproar.

Previously, they had been wondering why Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was still protecting Light Chief Sovereign Augusta at a time like this. Now, with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's words, they suddenly understood.

It was common knowledge that among the Four Rule Chief Sovereigns, the other three Rule Chief Sovereigns each possessed an attacking Overgod artifact.

Although Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had completed one more Overgod mission than the other Rule Chief Sovereigns, for the rewards from those two Overgod missions, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had chosen defensive Overgod artifacts both times.

The first time, he had chosen a soul-defense Overgod artifact.

The second time, he had chosen a material-defense Overgod artifact.

Thus, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was still lacking an attacking Overgod artifact.

The reason Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had so many entangled favors was probably because Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had taken a liking to the attacking Overgod artifact in Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's possession and wanted to bestow favors upon Light Chief Sovereign Augusta so that Augusta would offer the attacking Overgod artifact to him.

At this moment, there was no doubt that, faced with Linley's pursuit, if Light Chief Sovereign Augusta did not want to die, he had to give the attacking Overgod artifact in his possession to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Unfortunately, they thought they were on the third level, when in reality, Orloff and Augusta were on the fifth!

Augusta and Orloff were originally the same person. If Augusta simply threw the attacking Overgod artifact to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Orloff could use it directly.

Just as when Augusta had gone to pursue the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns earlier, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had directly given Augusta his soul-defense Overgod artifact.

However, Orloff did not want to publicly reveal his relationship with Augusta yet. Thus, saying these words could also be regarded as an explanation to the outside world.

When Augusta heard Orloff's words, his expression darkened.

Although he and Orloff were the same person, as the embodiment of all of Orloff's negative emotions, Augusta's desires were stronger than those of any Sovereign.

He knew that if he gave the attacking Overgod artifact to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff this time, then without a special reason, even if this attacking Overgod artifact remained in his possession in the future, he would not be able to openly take it out and use it.

However, the most important thing right now was still to kill Linley.

Otherwise, once Linley grew stronger in the future and possessed strength comparable to Chief Sovereign Locke, both he and Orloff would have only one outcome.

At once, Augusta pretended to remove his ownership of the Overgod artifact and threw the Fate Overgod Sword in his hand toward Orloff.

"Don't even think about it!"

Linley roared. With a wave of his left hand, four drops of Sovereign blood essence appeared in his hand, transforming into the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.

Seeing this, the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns likewise appeared beside Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

"Crack, crack..."

Beside Linley and Orloff, space shattered like fragments of glass.

"Pfft—"

Linley spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated amid a cloud of blood mist.

In terms of normal combat strength, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was ultimately ten times stronger than Linley.

Thus, in this clash between the fused innate divine abilities of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff held the advantage.

After knocking Linley back, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff did not pursue him. Instead, he first went to catch the Fate Overgod Sword that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had thrown over.

"Swish!"

Orloff ran his fingertip across the blade of the Fate Overgod Sword. His body, which surpassed the strength of a Sovereign artifact, was directly cut open, and a drop of bright-red blood was absorbed by the Fate Overgod Artifact.

"Boom!"

After pretending to complete the ownership recognition, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff pursued Linley.

With the amplification of an attacking Overgod artifact in his hand, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's attacks could now pose an enormous threat to Linley.

If Linley were struck by the Fate Overgod Artifact in Orloff's hand, he would certainly fall.

The might of an Overgod artifact was something beyond the normal scope of a Sovereign.

At this moment, Linley had also long since made up his mind to fight Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff to the death.

However, Linley suddenly had an idea. He stopped clashing head-on with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and instead sent out streaks of sword light, slowing Orloff's pursuit while flying deeper into the spatial turbulence.

A group of Sovereigns likewise followed behind Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, observing this battle between the Rule Chief Sovereigns.

After more than a dozen breaths, the only Sovereign who remained here was Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, whose expression was unpleasant.

"Hmph, he's merely a lucky bastard!"

After coldly snorting toward the direction in which the Sovereigns had departed, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta prepared to return to the Light God Plane.

He had no intention of joining in on the excitement over there.

If he wanted to watch the battle between two Rule Chief Sovereigns, he could simply share Orloff's senses with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

If he rushed over now, he was also afraid that Linley might strike him before dying.

At that time, he had no confidence that he could survive Linley's attack.

However, suddenly, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's expression changed drastically.

Because within his divine sense, Linley's aura was gradually approaching him.

"How is this possible?"

Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was greatly alarmed.

At once, while fleeing, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta shared his senses with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

At this moment, both Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff discovered that there was a Linley near each of them!

"Could it be that everything Linley did earlier was an act?"

"He had long since anticipated that I, Orloff, would make a move, and thus left one Sovereign body in the Infernal Realm."

"After luring me, Orloff, away, he then used another Sovereign body to kill Augusta, me?"

With this thought, Augusta became furious.

When had he ever been looked down upon like this?

Linley actually thought that he could kill him using only an ordinary Sovereign body?

What a joke!

Even if Linley was a four-element Soul Mutate and had stored a considerable amount of fused Sovereign power in his Sovereign bodies beforehand, a Lesser Sovereign body that was not at the Paragon level merely possessed a hundredfold increase in the strength of Sovereign power, along with two additional portions of Will Power from the other two Sovereign sparks.

In other words, Linley's non-Paragon Sovereign body only possessed the strength of an ordinary Law Chief Sovereign!

Even if Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had lost his attacking Overgod artifact, his normal strength was still ten times greater than that of ordinary Law Chief Sovereigns!

This came from the Will Power reward for ten consecutive victories in the Planar Battlefield.

If the Will Power from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff were added as well, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta would be a hundred times stronger than an ordinary Law Chief Sovereign!

How could Linley possibly think that a mere non-Paragon Sovereign body could kill him?

However, although Augusta was furious, he did not stop merely because he believed his own strength was greater than that of this Sovereign body of Linley. Instead, he flew even faster toward the battlefield between Linley and Orloff.

Augusta had some self-awareness.

The divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns on his body had already been exhausted when he previously escaped Linley's pursuit.

Or rather, Linley had frightened him badly!

He felt that since Linley knew his strength and still dared to send this Sovereign body to kill him, Linley must have some way of killing him.

At the very least, Linley could preserve his own life in Augusta's hands and hold Augusta back.

At this moment, on the battlefield where Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was fighting, Linley was also making a huge arc through the spatial turbulence in a manner that no one expected. Once he completed the circle, he would be able to return here.

At that time, Linley's Paragon Sovereign body could instantly kill him.

Therefore, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta wanted to reunite with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff as quickly as possible.

Only Orloff could guarantee that he would not be killed by Linley.

Of course, there was another, even more important point.

Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was also uncertain whether Linley had given the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns to this Sovereign body as well.

If this Sovereign body also possessed the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, then as long as the distance between them was within ten thousand meters, Augusta would probably be killed by Linley's Sovereign body.

Augusta did not dare to gamble.

Seeing Light Chief Sovereign Augusta flee, Linley's newly ascended Wind Sovereign body also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew his own circumstances best.

This Wind Sovereign body had not merged with his original body, so Linley's Wind Sovereign body did not possess the amplification of fused Sovereign power.

All it possessed was the Will Power from the other three Sovereign sparks, along with the Will Power belonging to a Lesser Sovereign.

In other words, in terms of strength, Linley's Sovereign body was merely ten times stronger than an Intermediate Sovereign.

Compared to the current Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, it was a thousand times weaker!

If Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had not been so timid and had not fled, Linley would have had to flee first.

Once his fourth Sovereign body merged with his original body and the other three Sovereign bodies, it could increase his strength another hundredfold.

Thus, even with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff blocking him, Linley would have confidence in killing Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

Therefore, he could not possibly allow this Sovereign body to die before it had merged with his other Sovereign bodies and original body.

Now that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had fled, it happened to suit his intentions.

At once, with both Linley and Augusta knowing the other's objective, they tacitly moved toward the battlefield between Linley and Orloff.

On that side of the battlefield, Linley and Orloff were both fighting to seize a favorable position.

Orloff wanted to protect Augusta the instant he appeared, while Linley wanted to fuse his Wind Sovereign body into his own body the instant it appeared.
