Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff could naturally also sense the change in Linley's aura.
This caused Orloff's heart to sink.
At this moment, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff possessed three Overgod artifacts.
Even if Linley's strength had increased by two hundred times, it was still impossible for him to cause any harm to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
It could be said that during the Sovereign stage, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's strength was not the strongest.
However, in terms of his ability to preserve his life, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was in a class of his own among the Sovereigns.
Other than Chief Sovereign Locke, who had already been confirmed to have entered the realm of the Overgods, no Sovereign could kill Orloff.
Even Death Chief Sovereign Lilia was no exception.
The strength of Death Chief Sovereign could almost be considered the pinnacle among the Sovereigns.
Sovereign artifact-level physical strength, combined with the Will Power and Law might of a Paragon, was standard for the Four Rule Chief Sovereigns.
The Will Power of the half-body Netherworld Chief Sovereign, the hundredfold amplification from the Netherworld's supreme treasure, the Netherworld Heart, and the five-hundredfold amplification of the two and a half percent of the Laws of Reincarnation...
Adding everything together, Death Chief Sovereign's normal strength was fifty thousand times greater than that of the other Rule Chief Sovereigns!
Even Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, who possessed one additional portion of Will Power compared to the other Rule Chief Sovereigns, was still five thousand times weaker than Death Chief Sovereign!
This gap was even greater than that between an ordinary Lesser Sovereign and a Law Chief Sovereign!
However, even Death Chief Sovereign could not destroy an Overgod artifact.
Therefore, if Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff fought Death Chief Sovereign Lilia, Orloff would be completely suppressed by Death Chief Sovereign from beginning to end. However, protected by his Overgod artifacts, Orloff still would not be killed by Death Chief Sovereign.
Linley's current strength, even though it was twenty times greater than Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's, was still several thousand times weaker than Death Chief Sovereign's.
Since even Death Chief Sovereign could not kill Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Linley naturally could not kill Orloff either.
However, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff knew that the reason behind Linley's increase in strength was the work of Lord Locke.
Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff did not believe that his relationship with Light Chief Sovereign Augusta could be concealed from Chief Sovereign Locke.
From the changes in Linley at this moment, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff could tell that Chief Sovereign Locke had probably already regarded him as a whetstone for Chief Sovereign Linley!
A trace of sorrow flashed through Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's heart.
Could it be that his fate had already been decided by Chief Sovereign Locke?
However, the nature of the Bula Race caused this trace of sorrow to not remain in Orloff's heart. Instead, it immediately transferred to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
"Could it be that I am going to die?"
The sudden sorrow that rose in his heart caused Light Chief Sovereign Augusta to panic greatly.
Especially after Linley's strength had increased once more, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta even felt that Orloff might abandon him.
"Nothing is certain yet. Anything is possible!"
After the sorrow in his heart disappeared, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's mind became completely clear.
As the Fate Chief Sovereign, and someone who had cultivated the Laws of Fate to their limits, Orloff could be said to be the number one person in fate apart from Locke.
Having cultivated the Laws of Fate to the Paragon level, Orloff had naturally observed the fates of countless living beings and attempted to interfere with them.
Over the countless years, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had also come to understand that the living beings in this universe seemed to be like puppets on strings. Each had their own "fate."
No matter how he interfered with them, in the end, those living beings would still move toward that predetermined "fate."
However, among these countless living beings, there was an extremely small portion whose "predetermined fate" would change according to everything that happened around them. Even Orloff, despite having comprehended the Laws of Fate to the Paragon level and possessing Will Power at the Rule Chief Sovereign level, could not see the "fate" of these people clearly.
For a period of time, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had also wanted to "control" the "fate" of these living beings.
Orloff felt that if he could even control the "fate" of these living beings, his attainments in the Laws of Fate would certainly rise to another tremendous level.
He even felt that the "higher-level Law" that Chief Sovereign Locke had mentioned after the Paragon level might be precisely the realm he was about to touch.
Unfortunately, no matter how many attempts Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff made, he ultimately failed.
This was inevitable!
Those living beings whom Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had noticed, who could deviate from their own "predetermined fate," were the "Uncertain Fates" within the Magical Universe.
Even Hongmeng, the creator of the Magical Universe and currently the only Hongmeng Controller in the Hongmeng Space, could not observe the fates of such living beings.
Not only that, those with Uncertain Fates could also interfere with the fates of others to a certain extent, causing the fates of other living beings to deviate and thereby rewriting their original "predetermined fates."
For Orloff to have noticed the special nature of those with Uncertain Fates was already enough to demonstrate that his attainments in the Laws of Fate were extraordinary.
Even Locke, if he had not possessed the memories of his previous life, probably would not have been able to achieve such attainments in the Laws of Fate.
"Who can say for certain that my own 'predetermined fate' cannot undergo some other change?"
Very quickly, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff established a psychological defense for himself.
He believed that even if Chief Sovereign Locke had already determined his "future," it was not necessarily impossible for him to become like those living beings he had once observed, those who could change their own "predetermined fates," and ascend to an even higher level.
...
Boom!
Although this sounded like a lengthy process, from the moment Linley completed the fusion of his Sovereign body to the strengthening of his fused Sovereign power and physical body, only an instant had passed.
Linley opened his eyes, his sharp gaze directly meeting Orloff's.
At this moment, with the Locke lineage excluded, Linley felt that his strength had completely surpassed Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
"Orloff, do you still want to stop me now?"
"Ha, Linley, now that things have come this far, do you think there is still any room for reconciliation between us?"
Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff shook his head and smiled.
If Orloff had previously still wanted Light Chief Sovereign Augusta to restore Linley's mother Lina's freedom so that he could resolve the cause and effect between Linley and Augusta,
then, after learning of Chief Sovereign Locke's actions, Orloff had already cast everything aside.
The more one understood the thing called "fate," the more one would revere it.
Chief Sovereign Locke was also a Paragon of the Laws of Fate, and had even comprehended the higher-level Law of Fate.
Therefore, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had every reason to believe that Chief Sovereign Locke had tampered with his "fate," making him the villain in Linley's story and the whetstone for Linley's growth.
Since his "fate" as the "final villain" had already been decided by Chief Sovereign Locke, what Orloff had to do was break the "fate" that Chief Sovereign Locke had imposed upon him.
