"Sigh..."
Off let out a sigh, his Willpower enveloping Daphne and shielding her from the damage of the spatial turbulence.
"Lord Sovereign."
Saved by Off, Daphne was filled with both joy and shame.
She was supposed to be carrying out Off's mission, but in the end, Off himself had to come to her rescue...
Off nodded slightly, saying nothing, and continued to fly forward with Daphne.
Not long after, Daphne saw Foster, who was also trapped in the spatial turbulence.
However, compared to the panicked Daphne, Foster was much calmer.
He was wearing a Lord God Artifact for defense, and the spatial turbulence couldn't do anything to him!
As long as Off received the news, he would definitely come into the spatial turbulence to rescue him.
...
On the Infernal Realm's side, under the pursuit of six Sovereign Legions, especially after their commanders and deputy commanders had been banished into spatial rifts, Off, the Destiny Sovereign's Sovereign Legion, was left with only a handful of stragglers.
Suddenly, above the Infernal Realm's Star Mist Sea, a spatial rift appeared. An old man in white robes, with white hair and beard, along with two others, a man and a woman, emerged from the spatial turbulence.
A massive aura emanated from Off.
In an instant, all those who were still fighting were instantly suppressed by this overwhelming pressure. Their sense of crisis told them that the newcomer was an existence they could not contend with.
"Lord Sovereign!"
"Greetings, Lord Sovereign!"
With the arrival of a Lord Sovereign, the war naturally could no longer continue.
"Heh heh, Lord Off, you have quite the leisure time, coming all the way to the Infernal Realm to show off your might?"
Endless Earth Elements gathered in front of Off, coalescing into Roy's divine body.
This made Off's pupils contract.
What kind of ability was this? To condense a divine body of the Lord God Artifact level using only basic elements?
Then, if...
"Star Sovereign."
After Roy appeared, Off, the Destiny Sovereign, retracted his aura.
With a wave of Roy's hand, the commanders of the Four Divine Beast Lord God lineage quickly regrouped their respective teams and began to withdraw from the Star Mist Sea.
Next, it was time for the Lord Sovereigns.
After all, the Sovereign Legions and Sovereign's Emissaries were merely tools used by the Lord Sovereigns to resolve disputes between gods.
Previously, the six Sovereign Legions of the Four Divine Beast Lord God lineage's slaughter of the unknown Lord God Soldiers had already attracted the attention of many Lord Sovereigns in the Infernal Realm.
Now, with Off, the Destiny Sovereign, directly intervening, it had piqued everyone's interest even further.
What had happened to involve two Sovereigns directly?
And Off, the Destiny Sovereign, one of the Four Lawful Sovereigns, had personally entered the fray.
"Off, this is the Infernal Realm!"
Within the Sea of Chaos, Utred's, the Destruction Sovereign's, Spiritual Sense naturally witnessed the confrontation between Off, the Destiny Sovereign, and Roy, the Star Sovereign.
Although he desperately wanted Off, the Destiny Sovereign, to test whether the Star Sovereign Roy had truly mastered the fusion innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, this was the Infernal Realm, Utred's, the Destruction Sovereign's, home turf!
Wasn't Off coming to the Infernal Realm and bullying the Lord Sovereigns here without a word a slap in his face?
"Don't worry, Utred, I'm not here to fight in the Infernal Realm."
After replying in the direction of the Sea of Chaos, Off smiled and said to Roy, "I am truly sorry, Star Sovereign. Because my instructions to my subordinates were not clear enough, they offended you while completing my mission. I will apologize on their behalf."
Hearing the words of Off, the Destiny Sovereign, all the Lord Sovereigns fell silent.
Was Off, the Destiny Sovereign, backing down?
Had the Star Sovereign's strength already reached the level of a Lawful Sovereign?
No!
The Lord Sovereigns silently recalled the strength displayed by the Star Sovereign, and then remembered the battle scenes between Utred, the Destruction Sovereign, and Off, the Destiny Sovereign.
From their performances, the Star Sovereign's strength was more about the mystique of his techniques.
Whereas the Lawful Sovereigns possessed overwhelming absolute attack power, hundreds of times stronger than the Law Sovereigns!
It was beyond doubt that the Star Sovereign was stronger than the Law Sovereigns, but he was still a notch below the absolute might of the Lawful Sovereigns.
"Is Lord Off saying this because he's afraid of violating the Lord God agreement if he makes the first move against me?"
Roy only believed Off's words by at most fifty percent.
Undeniably, Off, who had separated all his negative emotions and unnecessary things, was a "nice guy."
But the premise of being a "nice guy" was that it did not obstruct the research he intended to conduct.
Otherwise…
Off mentioned that his unclear orders led his subordinate Sovereign soldiers to offend Roy in the Infernal Realm.
Roy believed this statement.
However, whether the lack of clarity was intentional or accidental was questionable.
"How about I make the first move against Lord Off? That way, his counterattack wouldn't violate the Sovereign's agreement, right?"
After saying this, two drops of bright red blood turned into a blood mist, which Roy inhaled into his eyes, causing his pupils to turn red.
Then, Roy looked up at Off, a faint gleam flashing in his eyes.
"Tsukuyomi!"
A surge of Soul Power emanated from Roy, enveloping Off and the other two before him.
In an instant, Off and the other two felt the scene before them change. The sky filled with purple lightning and mist vanished, replaced by a desolate, blood-red land.
Foster and Daphne were bound to crosses planted in the ground.
Off was also fixed to a cross, but he was not bound.
Vast Willpower formed a transparent white shield, protecting Off within it.
"This is a pure soul attack? Such powerful Soul Power!"
The sudden change in his vision surprised Off slightly.
He was even more shocked that this world was entirely composed of Soul Power.
So, it wasn't just Sovereign Power that could create planes; Soul Power could do that too?
The composition of this world bore some resemblance to Roy's previous move, "Kingdom in the Palm." Roy wondered what profound secrets it held.
With his curiosity piqued, Off didn't hesitate to ask Roy, "Star Sovereign, the soul attacks I've encountered over the years have been like poisonous snakes, lurking silently to strike fatally when an opening appears. Others have dispersed into countless attacks, overwhelming with sheer numbers. Some even burn the soul for a desperate final strike exceeding their limits..."
"I wonder what effects your attack has?"
"The effects of Tsukuyomi?"
Hearing Off's question, Roy shook his head. "Lord Off, your question has stumped me."
"This is the first time I've used this move on someone since I developed it."
"As for whether it can achieve the effect I desire, it needs to be tested."
For ten thousand years, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods would provide Roy with two hundred drops of Sovereign essence blood.
Using the essence blood from the White Tiger Sovereign Us and the Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen, Roy comprehended the mysteries of Space Law. By consuming their essence blood, he could utilize spatial power against enemies before it was completely depleted.
He could achieve "Space Containment," "Space Strangling," and "Instantaneous Movement."
Naturally, Roy also achieved significant results with the essence blood from the Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding and the Vermillion Bird Sovereign Nimo.
Combined with his immense Soul Power, Roy completed his strongest soul attack to date – "Tsukuyomi"!
The inspiration for "Tsukuyomi" came from a certain eye-based legend, or perhaps a village feud.
Within this soul realm created by Roy's Soul Power, he could control time and inflict powerful damage on his opponents' souls.
As for the specific effects, with Off and the other two present, Roy naturally had to test it thoroughly.
Roy extended his right hand, brought his thumb and middle finger together, and then…
"Snap!"
With a snap of his fingers, Daphne and Foster, bound to the crosses, were engulfed in raging flames.
"Argh~"
"Ahhhhhhhh…"
"Kill me, kill me!"
"Please, kill me quickly!"
Daphne and Foster screamed in agony under the flames that burned their souls.
Daphne, unable to bear the excruciating pain of her soul burning, begged Roy to kill her.
Off frowned, and the semi-transparent shield formed by his Willpower suddenly expanded, enveloping Daphne and Foster and expelling the flames from them.
"Hmm, the 'Amaterasu' flames, developed from the Vermillion Bird's innate divine ability, can indeed inflict direct damage to the soul, but they are blocked by soul-defending Lord God Artifacts and Willpower defenses."
"I wonder if increasing the investment of Soul Power can enhance the flames' damage."
Seeing Off shield the two, Roy's thoughts shifted.
Instantly, the entire dimension transformed into a world of flames.
Countless scorching flames tightly wrapped around the shield of Off's Willpower, searing it.
"It's effective!"
Although the burning speed was extremely slow, the flames, after a large amount of Soul Power was injected, could indeed burn through Off's Willpower shield.
This meant that with enough time, Roy could burn through Off's Willpower and inflict real damage on his soul!
Off naturally understood this point. Although he really wanted to study this move by the Star Sovereign, Off also didn't want to put himself in danger.
At that moment, Off's thoughts shifted, and his immense Willpower attempted to tear apart the soul plane that Roy had opened, thereby escaping.
However, something happened that Off did not expect!
To use Willpower to tear space was originally just a thought.
But Off found that his current thoughts were unfolding at an extremely slow pace.
It was as if his own time flow had been slowed down countless times.
"Time deceleration?"
In Off's mind, Roy's two drops of vital blood from before suddenly appeared.
Could that be the vital blood of the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods?
Did the Star Sovereign gain control over time by studying the vital blood of the Divine Beast of Azure Dragon Lord God Leding?
"That's right, it's Time Deceleration, Lord Off,"
Roy's face broke into a satisfied smile. "Lord Off, within this soul space, time is under my control."
"The reason you and I can communicate smoothly is that I've kept the time flow between our souls on the same temporal level."
"The setting I've given this 'Tsukuyomi' space is three thousand years in an instant."
"This means that no matter how much time passes in this Tsukuyomi space, whether it's three thousand years, when we return to reality, it will only have been an instant."
"Lord Off can tear apart the 'Tsukuyomi' space in an instant, but under the slowed time, this 'instant' has been stretched into three thousand years by me."
"Now let's see."
"Will my soul fire burn through Lord Off's defenses within three thousand years, or will Lord Off first tear open the soul space I created?"
"By the way, Lord Off, I know your divine body has reached the Lord God Artifact level, but I wonder if your soul's strength has also reached the Lord God Artifact level?"
"It actually has such an effect?"
Off was also astonished by Roy's move.
Three thousand years in an instant.
Sensing the slow transmission of his thought to use Willpower to tear open a spatial rift, Off gained a general understanding of the power of this move by the Star Sovereign.
Time Deceleration, truly a terrifying ability!
Now, he could only wait.
After all, no matter what action he took, in this space, it would only happen after three thousand years.
Seeing this, Roy didn't speak to Off anymore. The two of them just quietly watched the collision between the flames and the Willpower shield.
In reality, Roy had lied to Off.
The Law of Time he comprehended through the vital blood of the Azure Dragon Lord God Leding was not "Time Deceleration" at all, but "Time Acceleration."
The moment he opened the Tsukuyomi space, he used his powerful soul force to make the time flow within the soul plane achieve the effect of "three thousand years in an instant."
Only when the comprehension of the Law of Time reached an extremely profound level could one comprehend "Time Deceleration," or even "Time Stoppage."
That was not something Roy's current soul force could comprehend.
Even with the cheat of using the vital blood of Leding Lord God to access the "Law of Time" in advance, three thousand years in an instant was already Roy's limit!
In the outside world, everyone was greatly shocked by the Star Sovereign's actions.
Was the Star Sovereign going to challenge the Law Sovereign?
Then, the spiritual senses of the Lord Gods in the outside world saw a very strange scene.
The Star Sovereign did something, and after exchanging a glance with Destiny Sovereign Off, Destiny Sovereign Off actually drew a massive spatial rift between himself and the Star Sovereign!
The man and woman behind Destiny Sovereign Off were all cowering behind him, trembling, and looking at the Star Sovereign as if he were some terrifying existence.
