When Nathaniel's mind landed on Roy's name, he immediately felt secure.
Roy was the fourth Paragon confirmed in tens of trillions of years, and also the first Paragon High-level God.
Coincidentally, the Sovereign Godhead in his hand was of the Earth Element.
Nathaniel decided that once Roy appeared on the Muba Plane, he would directly offer the Earth Lord Godhead to Roy in exchange for his protection.
Once Roy became a Sovereign, the Qingya Lord God, who was not a Paragon, would definitely not be Roy Sovereign's match. His own safety would be guaranteed.
Sorry, Qingya Lord God, it's not that I don't want to continue serving you, but right now, you can't protect me…
Nathaniel's plan was indeed excellent.
It's just…
…
"Rumble…"
In the Infernal Realm, Roy transformed into a yellow streak of light, flying rapidly towards the Planar Teleportation Array in Iron Saber Gorge.
However, suddenly the sky ahead of Roy became covered in dark clouds, countless black energies converged in the sky, and a colossal human face covering more than half the sky appeared.
Is this a Sovereign's projection descending?
Stopping his steps, Roy lowered his head slightly: "Roy of the Four Divine Beast Family, greetings, Sovereign."
"May I ask which Sovereign is gracing me with your presence?"
"Roy, it's been billions of years, and you don't recognize me?"
A majestic voice emanated from the giant face, with a hint of… pleasure?
Roy frowned: "I knew who it was. It's Lord Blood Peak Sovereign."
"May I ask why Lord Blood Peak Sovereign has descended here?"
"Nothing much, I just haven't seen you in billions of years, and I wanted to chat."
"Then I apologize, Lord Blood Peak Sovereign, I have important matters to attend to and cannot chat with you. Goodbye."
After speaking, Roy completely ignored the giant face of the Blood Peak Sovereign and flew directly beneath it.
"Roy, are you refusing a Sovereign's invitation?"
Seeing Roy act like this, Blood Peak Sovereign Pash's tone stiffened considerably.
"Lord Blood Peak Sovereign, we both know what your intentions are."
"A member of my Four Divine Beast Family was killed on the Muba Plane, and I am now going to the Muba Plane to seek justice for my family members. Are you sure you want to stop me now?"
"Heh heh…"
"Roy, I kindly invited you to chat, but you refused my goodwill. It seems you won't understand respect for superiors and inferiors until I show you the difference between a Paragon High-level God and a Sovereign!"
As he spoke, a wave of Willpower emanated from the giant face, striking directly at Roy.
"Buzz!"
Roy, not to be outdone, met the Blood Peak Sovereign's Willpower with his own Paragon Willpower, shattering it directly.
"Lord Blood Peak Sovereign, if you want to kill me, send your Lord God Clone!"
"Arrogant!"
The Blood Peak Sovereign was furious. Even more immense Willpower, mixed with Sovereign Power, surged towards Roy once more.
"You're asking for it!"
Seeing that the Blood Peak Sovereign intended to continue attacking, Roy raised his hand, and dense Sovereign Power gathered in his palm. He slammed out with a palm strike.
"Five Finger Mountain!"
"Boom!"
A colossal hand, shattering space, carrying unmatched might, slammed towards the giant face in the sky.
"Roy, you're courting death!"
The Blood Peak Sovereign roared.
However, a Sovereign's projection could directly kill a High-level God who possessed no soul defense Sovereign Artifact or material defense Sovereign Artifact, but for Roy, whose Willpower was close to a Sovereign's, it was not enough.
Faint illusory peaks appeared on the hand. Upon contact with the giant face of the Blood Peak Sovereign's projection, the fingers curved, and the projection of Blood Peak Sovereign Pash was crushed.
"Roy!"
On Blood Peak Mountain in the Lianyun Mountain Range, Blood Peak Sovereign Pash's blood-red hair fluttered. A powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the divine servants on Blood Peak Mountain to fall to their knees, trembling, awaiting the Sovereign's fury to subside.
"No!"
Blood Peak Sovereign Pash's brow was furrowed so deeply that it looked like a fissure, and the blood-red patterns on his forehead were almost three-dimensional.
"Roy is an Earth Element Paragon. If he obtains that Sovereign Godhead on the Muba Plane, his strength will definitely surpass mine."
"I must stop him!"
"Otherwise…"
That Roy...
He's only a Paragon, yet he's refused my goodwill twice.
If he were to obtain a Lord Godhead and become a Sovereign, what then?
Just thinking about the ant who was once beneath him now crawling above him made Blood Peak Lord God Pash extremely uncomfortable and agitated.
Just as Blood Peak Lord God Pash ripped through space, preparing to pursue Roy through the spatial turbulence, a light chuckle sounded by his ear.
"Alright, Pash. As a Sovereign, you actually violated the Sovereigns' agreement and attacked an elder of my Four Divine Beast Family. You must be tired of living!"
"Oh no, it's Nimo, the Vermillion Bird Sovereign among the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns!"
Pash was greatly alarmed as armor materialized on his body.
"Boom!"
A hand emerged from the spatial rift Pash had opened and struck his chest.
"Pfft!"
"Crack, crack..."
The immense force sent Pash flying out of Blood Peak Mountain. His chest-worn Lord God Artifact was directly cracked, its defensive power greatly reduced.
Vermillion Bird Sovereign Nimo's divine body was of Lord God Artifact level, and its understanding of Profound Mysteries of Laws had reached Paragon. Its strength could rank among the top Mid-level Lords Gods.
The hundredfold difference in strength between a Lower-level Sovereign and a Mid-level Sovereign allowed Nimo Lord God to nearly cripple Pash's defensive Lord God Artifact with a single blow.
"So terrifying!"
A strong sense of unwillingness flashed through Blood Peak Lord God Pash's mind.
He was also a Lower-level Sovereign, but the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns not only had divine bodies at the Lord God Artifact level but also their understanding of Profound Mysteries of Laws had reached Paragon, making them over a hundred times stronger than him.
But what could unwillingness achieve?
When you're weaker, you can only bury your unwillingness deep inside.
Otherwise, acting impulsively would lead to this.
He would have to pay the price.
With that thought, Blood Peak Lord God Pash quickly shed the Material Defense Lord God Artifact he was wearing and put on a new one.
The battle between the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns and the former Fate Sovereign Collet had shown many Sovereigns the terrifying power of Lord God Artifact divine bodies.
But at the same time, it had also given them a combat method they had never considered before.
A hundredfold difference in strength between Sovereigns could destroy the other's Lord God Artifact.
But before destroying the Lord God Artifact, one was absolutely safe.
Therefore, Sovereigns without Lord God Artifact divine bodies nurtured a hoard of defensive Lord God Artifacts.
As long as I change my defensive Lord God Artifacts fast enough, your second, third, or even your hundredth attack won't be able to kill me!
Blood Peak Lord God Pash was undoubtedly the most outstanding performer in this battle.
Although he had one Lord God Artifact destroyed by Nimo Lord God's palm and another Lord God Artifact shattered by a sword, he still tenaciously held on until he reached the deepest part of the Infernal Realm's Sea of Chaos, which was the location of the Infernal Realm's highest ruler, Destruction Sovereign Utred—Wu Kun City.
"Lord Destruction Sovereign, I am willing to submit to you and come under your banner. I beg you to accept me."
As soon as he arrived at the Sea of Chaos, Blood Peak Lord God Pash shouted directly.
Under the diffusion of Sovereign Power, Blood Peak Lord God Pash's voice echoed throughout the Sea of Chaos.
Pash's shout made Nimo Lord God's expression change drastically.
This Pash, under such circumstances, had chosen to defect to Destruction Sovereign?
"Damn it!"
Nimo was furious. He unleashed his fastest speed, and his Lord God Artifact longsword drew a long rainbow, slashing towards Pash.
"Boom!"
Just as Nimo Lord God was about to attack Pash, a black light shot out from the deepest part of the Sea of Chaos and collided with Nimo Lord God's longsword.
"Pfft..."
This black light directly shattered Nimo's Lord God Artifact longsword, then pierced through his abdomen, creating a spray of blood mist and penetrating Nimo's divine body.
"Vermillion Bird, didn't you just hear what Pash said?"
"Pash has already defected to me and accepted my protection."
"If you still wish to attack, I will personally obliterate you!"
Destruction Sovereign Utred's voice echoed in Nimo Lord God's ears. The terrifyingly powerful aura made Nimo Lord God involuntarily swallow.
"Apologies, Lord Sovereign, I shall leave now."
Although the reason for Vermillion Bird Sovereign's pursuit of Blood Peak Lord God was that Blood Peak Lord God Pash had bullied the weak and attacked the Four Divine Beast Family's God-level experts first, thus provoking Nimo's pursuit, now that Blood Peak Lord God had defected to Destruction Sovereign, the matter would be decided by Destruction Sovereign's will and come to an end.
Despite his unwillingness, Nimo had no choice.
This was the might brought by absolute strength.
After glaring hatefully at Pash, Nimo restored their divine body, tore through space, and headed towards Iron Saber Gorge from the spatial turbulence.
Roy's speed was astonishing. After escaping Blood Peak Sovereign Pash, Roy elementalized and rushed forward at full speed. In less than half a day, he arrived at Iron Saber Gorge.
At this moment, the Planar Teleportation Array in Iron Saber Gorge was crowded with people. Countless Earth Element High-level Gods, or experts with Earth Element High-level God clones, were rushing to the Planar Teleportation Array at the fastest speed. Iron Saber Gorge was merely a microcosm of this.
"Almighty Push—Heavenly Conquest!"
"Boom!"
Endless repulsive force spread outwards from Roy's divine body, instantly blasting everyone who was still standing on the Planar Teleportation Array away.
"Who? Who's causing trouble?"
"Get out here quickly, and I'll give you a quick death!"
Seeing that the Planar Teleportation Array was about to begin its transmission, and their group was instantly blasted out of it, someone with a short temper immediately jumped out and yelled.
"Hmm?"
However, the moment this person saw Roy, they immediately deflated.
"Haha, haha, so it's Lord Roy. Please, you go first."
After being swept by Roy's gaze, this burly man obsequiously gestured for Roy to use the teleportation array first.
This inconsistent behavior caused the people around to cast looks of disdain at the burly man.
What a sycophant, pfft!
...
That's all for today's update. We'll meet again tomorrow at noon.
