Chapter 515: Despicable

"I cannot possibly hand Bresle over to you."

Linley's rejection of Orloff's proposal was not because he had found a way to free his mother Lina from Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

Rather, Linley did not want to betray his original resolve and make himself regret it in the future.

Although his mother's soul was currently under Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's control, as long as Linley was there, he could completely seal his mother and isolate her from Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's control.

Once his strength advanced another step and reached Chief Sovereign Locke's level, then even if Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff possessed the complete set of three Overgod artifacts, he would still be unable to stop Linley from killing Augusta.

Linley had confidence in himself.

Since Chief Sovereign Locke had said that he possessed the potential to grow to his level, Linley naturally would not belittle himself.

His mother Lina would inevitably regain her freedom.

If he agreed to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's condition and exchanged Bresle for his mother's freedom, then if Bresle were killed by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff because of this, Linley would inevitably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Linley did not want to make himself regret his decision in the future just for the sake of gaining a little time.

Having one incident like Grandpa Doehring's was enough for a lifetime.

Fortunately, because of the help of Chief Sovereign Locke and Lord Nanessa, Grandpa Doehring had not died beneath the Angel Battle Formation. Instead, he had gained a blessing from the disaster, becoming Lord Nanessa's disciple and becoming a God independently.

Once his strength reached Chief Sovereign Locke's level...

No, he did not need to reach Chief Sovereign Locke's level. As long as he surpassed the Sovereign level and reached the realm of the Overgods, Augusta would certainly die.

As for Orloff...

To be honest, even now, Linley still did not regard Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta as the same person.

The difference between the two of them was simply too great.

Although Bresle's two divine clones also had some differences, they were nowhere near as extreme as Orloff and Augusta.

Of course, if Orloff still wanted to protect his divine clone at that time, Linley would not hold back. He would kill Orloff along with Augusta.

Anyone who tried to prevent him from allowing his mother to regain her freedom was his enemy!

This was Linley's resolve!

Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff frowned.

Linley's rejection had been beyond his expectations.

He did not understand. Forget about a Rule Chief Sovereign like Linley. Even a Lesser Sovereign—no, one did not even need to reach the level of a Sovereign. As far as a Paragon was concerned, an existence at the Seven-Star Fiend level was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of a Paragon.

Although Bresle's attainments in magic arrays were extraordinary, making him one of the foremost magic array masters in the Magical Universe, his status and position were at most comparable to those of an Asura Prefect-level expert.

And Lina was Linley's mother, the person Linley had been willing to violate the rules of the Planar Battlefield to save, even at the risk of being killed by an Overgod.

The difference in importance between the two in Linley's heart did not need to be explained.

Yet even so, Linley had actually rejected the proposal to exchange Bresle for his mother's freedom.

However, although Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff did not understand Linley's rejection, he became excited inside.

With Orloff's attainments in the Laws of Fate, after Chief Sovereign Locke had chosen him to become the villain on Chief Sovereign Linley's path of growth, he had already developed some guesses about what he would encounter in the future.

On one hand, Chief Sovereign Linley would inevitably have a period of rapid improvement in his cultivation.

On the other hand, anything related to his increase in strength that Orloff wanted to obtain would encounter many twists and turns, causing him to miss out on those things.

Whether it was this Overgod mission or Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's second ten consecutive victories on the Planar Battlefield, both had been like this.

The Overgod mission had allowed Linley to obtain an attacking Overgod artifact, giving him the possibility of fighting Orloff.

The ten consecutive victories on the Planar Battlefield, because of Linley's existence, had stopped at nine consecutive victories, preventing the gap in strength between the two sides from widening.

Now, the greater the resistance Orloff encountered in obtaining Bresle, the more it indirectly proved that Bresle could provide him with a tremendous increase in strength.

Perhaps even to the point of reaching a level that could threaten Linley's life.

Thinking of this, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff smiled slightly at Linley.

"It seems that Chief Sovereign Linley, like Chief Sovereign Locke, places great importance on certain principles."

"But unfortunately..."

"Chief Sovereign Linley, Chief Sovereign Locke's persistence is because Chief Sovereign Locke possesses the strength to uphold those principles."

"But your persistence, Chief Sovereign Linley, is like a thin sheet of paper in my eyes. A light poke is enough to pierce through it."

"Linley, now let me teach you a lesson!"

"When faced with goodwill from a strong person, the weak must accept it."

"Otherwise, once the strong no longer have goodwill toward the weak, everything belonging to the weak will be completely taken away by the strong!"

"Boom!"

After saying this, a powerful pressure erupted from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff. He transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the Water Divine Plane.

Earlier, Linley had three Sovereign Armies. They were the Black Tortoise Army from the Earth Divine Plane of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, the Azure Dragon Army from the Water Divine Plane, and the Vermilion Bird Army from the Fire Divine Plane.

In reality, the Fire Sovereign spark Linley had refined belonged to Sovereign Manlu.

The Sovereign Army he had inherited should therefore have been Sovereign Manlu's Manlu Army.

The Vermilion Bird Army belonged to Bluefire Redding.

However, Bluefire also knew about Linley's relationship with the Four Divine Beasts clan. Therefore, he left the Vermilion Bird Army to Linley and instead took over Sovereign Manlu's Manlu Army.

Bresle served as a commander in Linley's Azure Dragon Army and was stationed permanently in the Water Divine Plane.

"Orloff, how dare you!"

Seeing Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's actions, how could Linley not know what Orloff intended to do?

It was not only Linley. In reality, all the Sovereigns had been jolted out of their earlier shock by this action from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

And at this moment, the Sovereigns had also completely accepted the absurd fact that Lord Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta were actually the same person.

After all, in everyone's impression, Lord Orloff would never do something like forcibly taking another Sovereign's Sovereign Emissary.

No, it was not merely that Lord Orloff would not do it. Even if it were another Sovereign, they would not behave this way.

It was merely a Sovereign Emissary. The Sovereigns were not so despicable as to act this way.

But if it were Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, everyone believed that this was something he might actually do.

It was just that no one had expected Lord Orloff to make such a move.

However, it was precisely this action by Orloff that finally caused the Sovereigns to equate Orloff with Augusta.

Linley was furious. Following closely behind Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, the Life Overgod Sword in his hand slashed out streak after streak of overwhelming sword aura toward Orloff.
