Odin, terrified, couldn't help but glance down at Sain'te below and transmitted his voice: "Mansion Lord, Mansion Lord!" Odin was truly panicked. Having witnessed Lin Lei's strength just moments ago, he knew all too well... he had absolutely no power to fight back. In desperation, he could only pin his hopes on Mansion Lord Sain'te.
"Shut up!" Sain'te roared through voice transmission.
Sain'te's eyes were bloodshot, rage filling his heart. In front of so many mansion guards, he had been kicked to the ground — it was a humiliation! Sain'te held an exalted position, and suffering such shame, he naturally wanted revenge. But he had absolutely no strength to take it!
The surrounding soldiers stared at Lin Lei in shock, occasionally glancing at Sain'te, whose body was covered in bloodstains.
"Revenge now means only death. Hold it in, hold it in!" Being stared at by everyone only deepened Sain'te's sense of humiliation. "If I die, it's all over. This Lin Lei is probably truly at Grand Perfection. Even if word gets out that I lost to him, it won't be considered shameful." Sain'te comforted himself thus.
Sain'te was worried about his reputation, but Odin was worried about his life.
"If I don't flee now, there's no hope." Odin plummeted downward with a whoosh, intending to burrow underground and escape.
"Hmph."
Lin Lei smiled calmly. In a blur of afterimages, he appeared directly beneath Odin.
*Slap!* Lin Lei's palm struck Odin squarely across the face, sending him flying backward like a tattered sandbag slamming into the castle wall. With a dull crash, the wall cracked and splintered. "His speed is terrifying." Before Odin could even recover from his shock, Lin Lei pursued him like a shadow, appearing at his side once more.
Odin caught sight of Lin Lei, and his expression changed drastically.
Lin Lei extended his palm with cold indifference as 108 streams of earthy-yellow energy surged outward, forming a cage that bound Odin completely. The terrifying constraining force rendered Odin utterly unable to break free.
Even a powerhouse like Hermes, whose physical attacks rivaled Grand Perfection, had his speed drastically affected by this technique of Lin Lei's.
A mere Seven Star Demon had no way to resist pressure infused with sovereign's might.
He couldn't move an inch!
"Yeru, how he dies — that's your call." Lin Lei turned to look at Yeru, who was flying over at that moment. There was a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Aaargh~~" Odin desperately struggled against the crushing force.
Keep in mind, when Lin Lei had reached Highgod status, his gravity space was already enough to make ordinary Seven Star Demons struggle. Now infused with sovereign's might, its power had increased more than a hundredfold. Odin was like a beast trapped in a cage — though he roared frantically, he could not escape the crushing sphere in the slightest.
"You want to kill me? Hahahaha... brat, are you even worthy of killing me?" Odin glared at Yeru with bloodshot eyes, his gaze filled with contempt.
"Lin Lei, if you've got the guts, just kill me yourself!" Odin roared.
At this point, Odin understood that he had no hope left.
Sain'te, Anita, and the others, along with the numerous mansion guards, could only stand at a distance and silently watch Odin thrashing like a trapped beast. Moments ago, they had still been thinking of attacking, of driving Lin Lei and his companions back or even killing them. But after witnessing Lin Lei's display of power, the thought of resistance had vanished entirely.
"Kill you myself?" Lin Lei smiled coldly. "Keep dreaming."
"Hmph." Odin suddenly let out a cold laugh, and a transparent ripple shot from his eyes, streaking toward Yeru.
*Pfft.* Within the earthy-yellow shield of light surrounding Odin, a translucent blade of energy materialized, directly dissipating the soul attack. Lin Lei glanced at Odin with cold indifference. "Odin, you're trapped in my Gravity Prison. You don't have the slightest ability to resist. Don't even think about any tricks."
"Do it." Lin Lei looked at Yeru.
Yeru nodded slightly, and a deep azure spear appeared in his hand.
"My brothers, my wife and children, my parents..." Yeru's body trembled slightly, his lips drained of color. He stared fixedly at Odin before him. Then his body suddenly coiled like a mighty bow being drawn taut before exploding into motion, the spear in his hand carrying tremendous force as it thrust toward Odin.
Whoosh...
*Pfft!* The deep azure spear struck Odin's body, yet it couldn't even pierce his skin.
Yeru froze.
"Hah, hahahaha..." Odin threw his head back and laughed, laughing like a madman. "Lin Lei, oh Lin Lei. You're letting your brother kill me? Hahaha, he's a mere Lowgod! I am a Seven Star Demon among Highgods! My energy defense is nearly equivalent to a Highgod artifact — his pathetic attacks can't even scratch my skin! Hahahaha, kill me? In your dreams!!!"
Yeru's face went white in an instant.
"I... I..." Yeru's body shook slightly. "I want revenge, but I..."
Lin Lei had already bound Odin for him to kill, but Yeru's offensive power was simply too low. Odin was, after all, at the Seven Star Demon level. Even with Highgod divine power combined with profound mysteries, his physical defense approached that of a Highgod artifact. As for soul defense, Odin cultivated the Laws of Death, making it even stronger still. Yeru couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Odin suddenly fixed Yeru with a vicious glare, as though he wanted to devour the man alive. "Brat, you want to kill me? Dream on! With your pathetic strength, you can't even harm a single hair on my body!"
"Odin." Lin Lei glanced at him coldly.
"What are you so arrogant about, Lin Lei?" Odin, knowing he was doomed, had lost all fear. He looked down on Lin Lei with contempt and laughed. "Didn't you want your brother to kill me? Too bad — he's far too weak. You caught me and handed me over to him on a silver platter, and he still can't do it! It's fate — he'll never be able to avenge them with his own hands! Tsk tsk... I still remember how those relatives of Yeru's died — one after another. It was quite the show."
"Damn you!" Yeru roared.
"You can't kill me. You'll never avenge them with your own hands." Odin laughed smugly.
A layer of frost seemed to cover Lin Lei's face.
"Absorb it into your body and activate it." Lin Lei flipped his hand, and a droplet of black liquid drifted toward Yeru.
"Hmm?" Odin's expression shifted.
"Aren't you so formidable? You're just an ordinary Seven Star Demon who cultivates the Laws of Death at that. Let's see if your body can withstand an attack infused with the Divine Power of a Sovereign!" Lin Lei smiled coldly.
Yeru's eyes lit up.
"Third Brother, thank you." Yeru immediately merged the droplet of Divine Power of a Sovereign into his body. Then, with a resounding boom, a black halo emanated from him as a terrifying aura spread outward. Yeru gripped his deep azure spear. The black halo coiled around the weapon, and Yeru let out a low growl—
"Die!"
Like a bolt of lightning, Yeru drove the deep azure spear with frenzied force straight at Odin.
"Noooo—" Odin had time for only one final scream.
