Lightning Sovereign
Roy, with Nathaniel in tow, was about to fly towards the Planar Teleportation Array of the Muba Plane when the space in front of Roy and Nathaniel suddenly tore open, revealing a massive spatial rift.
A burly man with blonde hair, resembling a raging lion, was as if thrown into the Muba Plane by a tremendous force from within the spatial rift. He regained his mobility only after passing through the rift and stopped in front of Roy.
"Oh? The Lightning Sovereign, Hulley?"
Roy recognized the blonde-haired man who had appeared before him.
At that time, after Destiny Sovereign Off and Destruction Sovereign Utred's decisive battle, the second Sovereign Conference was convened. During the meeting, Off proposed elevating the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to that of Sovereigns.
At that time, this blonde-haired man stood with six other Law Sovereigns, not far from Roy and the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
"No, Sovereigns cannot enter material planes."
Roy was shocked when he recognized the man, but he quickly understood.
This man was not the Lightning Sovereign Hulley's Lightning Sovereign Divine Clone.
Combining this with how Hulley had entered the Muba Plane from the spatial rift, Roy understood.
The person standing before him was Hulley's Earth God Clone!
The Lightning Sovereign Hulley, not yet having acquired a second Earth Lord Godhead, was the only Sovereign among the Sovereigns to possess two Sovereign Clones.
Roy surmised that without his intervention, the Sovereignhead in Nathaniel's hand would have undoubtedly fallen into Hulley's possession.
However, Roy thought Hulley was quite cautious. To avoid attracting the attention of other Sovereigns, he had traveled directly through spatial turbulence, found the Muba Plane's location within the endless spatial turbulence, and then sent his Earth God Clone into the Muba Plane.
Roy stopped, crossed his arms, and stared at Hulley, who was blocking his path, without saying a word.
If it were Hulley's Lightning Sovereign Divine Clone, Roy might have been a bit wary.
But other Sovereign Clones of a Sovereign...
They were just so-so.
If he was in a good mood, he might play along.
If he was in a bad mood, destroying them was not impossible.
"Roy, why do you not pay your respects to me, this Sovereign?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Hulley's words, Roy raised an eyebrow, then looked left, right, up, and down, and then asked Hulley in front of him with confusion, "Esteemed 'Earth High-level God,' what did you just say I saw?"
"A Sovereign?"
"But I've looked all around here several times, and I don't see any Sovereign descending?"
"May I ask, where is this Sovereign you speak of?"
In Roy's words, the phrase "Earth High-level God" was emphasized heavily.
Moreover, his curious demeanor was incredibly lifelike, as if he were genuinely searching for a Sovereign at that moment.
"Roy, you..."
Hulley was furious.
Who was he? He was one of the seven strongest Law Sovereigns, excluding the Four Rule Sovereigns.
Even if this was not his Sovereign Divine Clone, he was still himself. And Roy was merely a Paragon High-level God; how dare he act like this?
Taking a deep breath, Hulley suppressed his rage and forced his tone to calm down. "Roy, I will give you an opportunity to pledge your allegiance to me. Hand over the Sovereignhead in your possession, and I will accept you as my Sovereign's Emissary and resolve the future trouble from the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods for you. What do you say?"
"Hahahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
Upon hearing Hulley's words, Roy burst into laughter.
"Hey, hey, hey, did I hear that correctly? The great Lightning Sovereign Hulley."
"Would you dare say that in front of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods?"
"You..."
Hulley was enraged.
The battle between the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and the former Fate Sovereign Collet had made all the Sovereigns aware that they possessed the strength to kill all Law Sovereigns.
In front of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, Hulley truly dared not utter such words.
But the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were not present, were they?
"Me? What about me?"
At this moment, Roy's expression had also turned cold.
"Furthermore, Lord Hulley, have you perhaps misunderstood something?"
"The person standing before me is merely an Earth-element High-level God Hulley, not the Lightning Sovereign Hulley!"
"You're just a mere Sovereign's Divine Clone. Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like this?"
"You are courting death!"
Roy's final words had directly ignited Hulley's rage.
"Boom!"
Despite his fury, Hulley didn't dare underestimate Roy and unleashed all his abilities.
Armor appeared on his body, a long sword materialized in his hand, and the Sovereign's Power erupted.
The space of the Muba Plane was blasted into massive spatial rifts by the might of Hulley's outburst.
An endless suction emanated from the spatial rifts, but it had little effect on Hulley, who was at their center.
"Sky Shatter!"
Hulley, gripping the greatsword with both hands, attacked Roy with a yellow sword silhouette that seemed to cleave space itself.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Roy let out a soft snort, waving to send Nathaniel to safety.
Then, he unleashed a palm strike at Hulley.
"Void Tremor!"
"Crack, crack..."
The space before Roy instantly shattered like glass.
The powerful attack shattered Hulley's incoming strike.
Although Hulley was protected by the material defense Sovereign Artifact and did not shatter along with the surrounding space, suffering no damage, the attack "Void Tremor" didn't harm people with material defense Sovereign Artifacts by shattering space or utilizing the profound mysteries of the Earth Pulse law.
Instead, it was a technique designed to banish targets into spatial turbulence.
The shattered space from "Void Tremor" led directly into spatial turbulence.
With the willpower possessed by his Earth God Clone, Hulley would be unable to move within the spatial turbulence.
By the time the shattered space healed, Hulley had vanished from the Muba Plane.
In Roy's grasp, Hulley, the Lightning Sovereign's Lord God Clone, was defeated in a single move and banished to spatial turbulence.
"Roy!"
Within the spatial turbulence, the eyes of Hulley's Earth God Clone, the Lightning Sovereign, were filled with violent energy.
A few minutes later, his Lightning Sovereign Clone finally arrived at the location of his Earth God Clone.
Normally, when outmatched, one would retreat as far as possible.
However, Hulley seemed blinded by rage, causing him to forget that only his Earth God Clone could enter material planes.
Thus, in his anger, Hulley tore open the space of the Muba Plane once more and hurled his Earth God Clone into it.
...
"Lord Roy is so strong!"
Nathaniel, who had been thrown far away by Roy, felt a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
To shatter space with a single palm and banish a Sovereign's Clone – such strength and courage were worthy of his allegiance.
If it were the Qingya Lord God, they probably wouldn't have been so resolute, even when facing another Sovereign's Clone, would they?
After banishing Hulley, Roy turned and, with Nathaniel, flew towards the Muba Plane's Planar Teleportation Array.
Along the way, many High-level Gods who had been searching for Nathaniel on the Muba Plane saw Roy and Nathaniel, and they all let out sighs.
If these gods had previously felt that other Sovereigns had obtained their Lord Godheads through luck, becoming lofty Sovereigns, then for Roy, who had seized this Earth Lord Godhead, they were truly convinced.
Lord Roy possessed both the qualification and the strength to claim this Earth Lord Godhead.
He was different from those showy and flirtatious individuals who became Sovereigns purely by luck!
Just as Roy was about to reach the Muba Plane's Planar Teleportation Array, an enraged roar came from behind him.
"Roy!"
"Blaspheming Sovereign, you shall die!"
Rolling thunder, accompanied by endless lightning, raged across the skies of the Muba Plane.
All living beings within the Muba Plane looked up, their expressions suddenly changing.
"Is this... a Sovereign's Projection descending?"
A vast expanse of lightning coalesced into a giant face that covered the entire sky of the Muba Plane. Beneath the giant face, Hulley's Earth God Clone's golden hair whipped wildly in the lightning.
"This... this is Lord Hulley, the Lightning Sovereign!"
Some High-level Gods who recognized the Lightning Sovereign's face changed drastically, then quickly knelt on the ground.
"We pay our respects to the Sovereign."
"We pay our respects to the Sovereign."
"We pay our respects to the Sovereign."
At first, it was the demons, whom the inhabitants of the Muba Plane considered incredibly powerful, that knelt on the ground. Then, as if in a chain reaction, all living beings knelt to welcome the Lord God's arrival.
Even a projection of the Lord God represented the Lord God's majesty.
Even Nathaniel, who was behind Roy, landed on the ground and knelt on one knee.
In an instant, the entire Muba Plane had only Roy standing in the void, confronting Hulley's Lord God projection and his Earth God Clone.
"Roy, with a Lord God present, your arrogance and disrespect are punishable by what crime?"
This time, Hulley had learned his lesson.
He had not only sent his Earth God Clone into the Muba Plane but had also brought his projection to the Muba Plane.
Previously, he had asked Roy to pay his respects, and Roy had said he hadn't seen the Lightning Sovereign.
This time, he had even brought his projection. He wanted to see what excuse Roy could possibly offer now.
"Heh..."
Roy glanced at Hulley's Earth God Clone, then bowed his head slightly towards the giant Lord God face in the sky. "Roy greets the Lord God."
Afterward, Roy looked at Hulley and sneered, "Hulley, this is all you're capable of? You were just banished by me, and now you're running to mommy? Truly, you're a coward."
Roy's words were also not spoken quietly.
Under the effect of the Sovereign Power, they quickly spread to every corner of the Muba Plane.
Suddenly, all the High-level Gods kneeling on the ground, who had some understanding, were dumbfounded.
Roy's words carried a lot of information.
What did he mean by Hulley being banished by Roy?
Wasn't Lord God Hulley a Lord God? How could he be banished by Roy?
...
