Chapter 205: Blackmail
Augusta, the Light Sovereign, was well-regarded within the Light God Realm.
Especially in the early days of establishing the Augusta Family, Augusta had exchanged the secret of the Angel Reincarnation Pool with these Lord Gods for over a hundred Lord God Artifacts in exchange for their one hundred and eighty-two children. Both sides felt they had gotten the better deal, and over the years, there had been no friction between the Light Lord Gods.
With the strength of the Lord Gods, they had already extended their Spiritual Sense when Augusta, the Light Sovereign, and Tina were fighting. Therefore, after receiving Augusta's telepathic message, they dared not delay and immediately tore through space, rushing from the spatial turbulence towards Augusta and Tina's location.
The speed of Lord Gods was indeed very fast; even Low-level Lord Gods could travel over five million kilometers per second.
However, the God Plane was not small. If one were to fly within the God Plane, it would take at least half a day for the Lord Gods to reach the Divine Prison Sea where Augusta, the Light Sovereign, was located.
But if they traveled through the spatial turbulence, they could arrive in at most half an hour.
As expected, ten minutes later, the first Light Lord God arrived by tearing open a spatial rift.
Twenty minutes later, the five Light Lord Gods within the Light God Realm had all gathered before Tina.
"We pay our respects to Sovereign Tina."
"Mm."
Tina nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly frowned and looked to her front right.
Chira…
before everyone's eyes, the space there was torn open from outside the spatial turbulence, and Off, the Destiny Sovereign, with white beard, white hair, and a white robe, entered the Light God Realm with a smile from within the spatial turbulence.
"Off, why are you here instead of cultivating in your Augus Garden?"
Upon seeing Off, the Destiny Sovereign, Tina's brow furrowed.
The strength displayed by Off, the Destiny Sovereign, was only slightly weaker than Tina's Earth Master clone.
Tina's Fire Element Divine Clone at this moment was naturally no match for Off.
With a thought, Tina's Earth Master clone in the Star God Realm directly tore through space and flew towards the Light God Plane.
"Hahaha, Tina, aren't you also rushing here from the Star God Realm from a great distance?"
After Off, the Destiny Sovereign, appeared, Augusta, the Light Sovereign, finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Supreme God Sword, and stood behind Off.
"Hmph!"
Tina snorted and ignored Off, the Destiny Sovereign.
Besides Roy, Tina was also aware of the existence of the "Bula Clan."
This was because there was already a member of the "Bula Clan" in the Star Army, Breler!
Considering the performance of Off, the Destiny Sovereign, and Augusta, the Light Sovereign, Tina suspected that Off was very likely from the "Bula Clan."
Augusta might even be Off's Divine Clone.
Unfortunately, even though Augusta had almost died just now, it had not revealed any extra Willpower.
Her Earth Master clone had the upper hand over Off, and her Fire Element Divine Clone was also stronger than Augusta, the Light Sovereign.
From this perspective, whether Augusta was Off's Lord God clone or not had little impact on Tina.
She could win either way!
However, if Augusta, the Light Sovereign, was indeed Off's Lord God clone, it would mean that Off, the Destiny Sovereign, possessed a Supreme God Artifact for soul defense and a Supreme God Artifact for offense. In that case, Off's true strength might be even greater than hers!
"Linley, come here."
Ignoring Off and Augusta, Tina called Linley over.
"This little fellow from our Four Divine Beast Family, his mother was sacrificed to a Light Lord God by people from the Church of Light in the material planes."
"You guys investigate and see who she was sacrificed to, then give me some face and release her."
"This..."
The five Light Lord Gods looked at each other. Finally, a Mid-level Light Lord God spoke up, "Sovereign Tina, you don't know, but we control our subordinate angels through the Angel Reincarnation Pool."
"There is only one way to release control over an angel."
"That is to release the Angel Reincarnation Pool that this angel is bound to."
"But if we do that, all the angels born from this Angel Reincarnation Pool will lose their control."
With this Mid-level Light Lord God speaking up, the other Lord Gods also began to complain to Tina.
"Sovereign Tina, over the years, each of the Angel Reincarnation Pools we possess is bound to millions of angels. If we were to release their binding, our loss would not be just one angel, but millions."
"Yes, what Lord Saint Gala says is correct..."
"This is just an ordinary Angel Reincarnation Pool. If it were an advanced Angel Reincarnation Pool, then releasing the binding would almost be equivalent to ruining countless years of our hard work."
Low-level Angel Reincarnation Pools would only produce low-level angels.
Advanced Angel Reincarnation Pools could even produce Twelve-winged Angels comparable to Seven-star Demons, or even Asura Prefect level beings.
If the mother of this Four Divine Beast Family youngster was a Twelve-winged Angel, then if they released the connection to the Angel Reincarnation Pool, their strongest combat force collected since becoming Lord Gods would become a bubble.
Linley stood beside Tina, and he could hear what these Lord Gods were saying.
He never expected that simply wanting to find his mother would require the Lord Gods to pay such a heavy price.
However, if his mother had indeed become an angel of a Light Lord God, Linley would not be able to avoid rescuing his mother and allowing her to regain her freedom.
"Boom!"
As these Light Sovereigns began to stretch their limits and complain to Tina, a powerful pressure emanated from Tina's body. The space of the Light God Realm couldn't withstand the pressure she was emitting, shattering with "bang bang bang" sounds. Rifts in space streaked past the Light Sovereigns.
Instantly, everyone fell silent.
"Are you all done?"
"If you're done, it's my turn to speak."
"No matter what treasure it is, once the owner dies, that treasure becomes ownerless."
"I believe the Angel Reincarnation Pool should be no exception, right?"
"Before you answer me, you'd best consider whether you'll personally sever the Angel Reincarnation Pool's master-servant connection, or if you'll need my help to do it!"
As soon as Tina spoke, the expressions of all the Light Sovereigns changed.
A threat!
A naked threat!
"Lady Tina, aren't you violating the Sovereign Covenant by doing this? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the other Rule Sovereigns?"
One Light Sovereign, speaking too quickly, blurted out these words.
Instantly, the other Light Sovereigns cheered inwardly but simultaneously scrambled away from the first Light Sovereign.
As expected—
Tina snapped her fingers.
"Snap!"
The next moment, the Light Sovereign's pupils seemed to lose focus. After a few seconds, flames erupted from his divine body, severely wounding him.
"Pfft..."
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Light Sovereign's body swayed a few times, his knees buckled, and he knelt before Tina. His head drooped powerlessly, as if he were dead.
A few seconds later, the Light Sovereign's gaze regained clarity, but the fear in his eyes could not be dispelled.
Just now, in his perception, he had felt as if he had truly died.
How terrifying!
Is this the horror of the "Soul Deceiver"?
"Are you guys perhaps mistaken about something?"
"The Sovereign Covenant is nothing more than something we Rule Sovereigns created to limit you all, out of consideration for you not dying too miserably."
"When did you ever get the idea that the Sovereign Covenant could restrict Rule Sovereigns?"
"And besides..."
"Destiny Sovereign Off can join forces with Destruction Sovereign Utred, wanting to monopolize ten consecutive victories in the Plane War and has taken action for it. How can you think that a Sovereign Covenant that can't restrict them could restrict me?"
This last sentence was not spoken by Tina standing before the Sovereigns, but from a spatial rift behind Tina.
Of course, the voice was still Tina's.
However, it was Tina's Earth Master Divine Clone, the Star Sovereign, one of the Five Great Rule Sovereigns—Tina!
Seeing the yellow-robed Tina emerge from the spatial rift, everyone present, except for Destiny Sovereign Off, bowed their heads to Tina.
"Lady Tina."
"Lady Tina."
Except for Augusta, who was hiding behind Destiny Sovereign Off, the other five Light Sovereigns were truly stunned.
Look at this. She directly displayed an attitude of "I won't abide by the rules you set, what can you do about it" in front of another Rule Sovereign, and yet, Destiny Sovereign Off actually said nothing.
"Now, if anyone doesn't want to sever their connection with the Angel Reincarnation Pool, step forward. I'll give you a chance to challenge me."
After retracting her Fire Element Divine Clone into her body, Tina said coldly.
"We dare not."
Facing Tina's questioning, the Light Sovereigns present shook their heads repeatedly.
It was a joke. This person had even brought her Divine Clone. If they truly dared to step forward, Star Sovereign Tina would definitely make an example of them right in front of Destiny Sovereign Off.
They were the chickens to be killed, and Destiny Sovereign Off was the monkey to be warned.
Star Sovereign Tina wanted to see if Destiny Sovereign Off could protect the person she intended to kill.
"Since you dare not, why aren't you hurrying to investigate?"
"Yes, Lady Tina."
Thus, after obtaining the basic information of Linley's mother, the five Light Sovereigns quickly connected to their respective Angel Reincarnation Pools to check if Linley's mother, Linna, was indeed an angel under their command.
After all, with so many material planes, they didn't know if the Church of Light on the Yulan Continent was their believers.
At this moment, the greatest hope of these Light Sovereigns was that Linley's mother, Linna, was not an angel under their command.
Even if she was, they hoped she had already had her Angel Heart destroyed and was utterly dead.
Hmm, even taking a step back, if Linley's mother, Linna, were still alive, it would be best if she wasn't a high-level angel. That way, their losses would be even smaller.
"Hoo..."
A few minutes later, the five Light Sovereigns under Tina all let out a sigh of relief.
None of them had found any trace of Linley's mother among their subordinate angels.
There were only two possibilities.
First, Linley's mother was not an angel under their command.
Second, perhaps Linley's mother was once an angel under their command, but her Angel Heart had been shattered, and she had completely perished!
"Lord Tina, I've already checked. There isn't an angel named 'Linna' under my command."
"Lord Tina, I've also checked. There isn't an angel named 'Linna' under my command either."
After five consecutive Light Sovereigns stated that there was no angel named "Linna" under their command, not only Tina, but even Linley began to doubt if his mother was already dead.
However, even with just a sliver of hope remaining, Linley still turned his gaze towards Augusta, who stood behind the Destiny Sovereign Off.
"Hurry up, Augusta, it's just you left," Tina said, showing no respect to Off and directly shouting at Augusta.
And Off, naturally, would not clash with Tina at this moment.
Ever since the Supreme God Roy had visited him, he had understood that Supreme God Roy, unlike the other Supreme Gods who had manifested from the supreme rules, was a free individual who could maintain his self and had discovered the greatest secret of this world.
Of course, the Destiny Sovereign Off was also working on how to sever his connection with Augusta. Therefore, before his research yielded results, Off would not allow Augusta to die.
Otherwise, he, Off, would become "Augusta Off," losing the opportunity to know this world's secrets.
Augusta and Off were the same person. Upon learning from Off that he would not intervene on his behalf, Augusta could only glare hatefully at Linley before starting to check if there was an angel named "Linna" under his command.
And as he checked, Augusta's face instantly turned pale.
Linley's mother, Linna, was not only an angel under his command, but she was also the highest-ranking Twelve-winged Angel.
Although Linley's mother, Linna, had only inherited the moves from the Angel Reincarnation Pool that Augusta had fused with four profound mysteries of light laws, giving her a combat power equivalent to a Seven-star Demon, this did not lessen Augusta's heartache.
In the Light God Realm, there were a total of 128 Angel Reincarnation Pools, and Augusta controlled sixty-four of them.
Among these, there were only two highest-level Angel Reincarnation Pools capable of birthing Twelve-winged Angels, both of which were under Augusta's control.
Over countless years, although the purest souls were rare, each of the highest-level Angel Reincarnation Pools had brought Augusta over three thousand Ten-winged Angels and twenty Twelve-winged Angels.
Once the master-servant relationship was dissolved, the strength of Augusta's angel troops would decrease by at least half.
With this thought, Augusta couldn't help but glare menacingly at that Mid-level Lord God.
It was all this guy's fault.
If it weren't for this guy saying that dissolving the control over the angels required dissolving the master-servant relationship of the Angel Reincarnation Pools, he could have generously returned Linna to Linley and lied to them, claiming he had restored Linna's freedom.
