Chapter 235 Taking Control of Sovelin

Soverein.

Ayesha's vehicle slowly landed on the tarmac.

Upon seeing this, the guards who had been waiting there immediately surrounded them.

However, when they forced the spaceship open, they found that it was completely empty.

Ayesha, who should have been here, appeared a few minutes later outside the palace of the Grand Elder of the Sovereign Council, accompanied by Levi, Jessica, Bullseye, and Mantis.

As for the other members of the alliance, they naturally remained on Anti-Earth under Tony's leadership.

They've just acquired this planet, and there's so much to do.

However, the situation in Sovelin cannot be ignored.

Therefore, they had to split into two groups.

Fortunately, the situation in Sovelin was not too complicated.

Although the council is seeking to depose Ayesha.

However, as a high priestess who had held power for decades, Ayesha actually had a very high level of prestige in Sovereignty.

Under normal circumstances, even if one completely breaks ties with the council, one might not necessarily lose so quickly.

This time, it was mainly because of the need to deal with the Supreme Evolution that the power center of Sovereign was removed, which gave the old guard of the Council the opportunity to seize most of Sovereign's power.

However, as long as Ayesha can safely return to Sovereignty and regroup her confidants, she can eliminate several core members of the council.

Then she will soon be able to regain control of Sovelin.

Clearly, to achieve this goal, Li Wei, as a mage, is more suitable than Tony.

Sure enough, after the spaceship landed, Li Wei simply opened a door and, without even lifting a finger, successfully led Ayesha out of the encirclement.

We arrived at the Grand Elder's palace.

Soon, with the help of Ayesha's spies who had been planted in the Grand Elder's palace, the group easily entered the hall and headed straight for the meeting room.

With an inside man leading the way, the guards along the way were often taken care of by Bullseye before they could even utter a sound.

The group quickly arrived outside the meeting room.

The guards outside the meeting room were also shocked to see Ayesha appear.

But by then, it was too late.

After dealing with the guards outside, Jessica stepped forward and smashed open the heavy door to the conference room with a single hammer blow.

Inside the meeting room, several elders of Sovereignty were having a meeting.

Of course, this was not a formal meeting, but a small gathering belonging to the faction of the Grand Elder.

The highest power center in Sovereign was previously comprised of the High Priest and the twelve elders of the council.

Now, nine elders have gathered in the meeting room. Of these, only seven were originally from the Grand Elder's faction, while the other two were recently recruited by the Grand Elder.

As for the other three who were not present, they were staunch supporters of Ayesha's faction and have now been detained.

Once Ayesha returns and is brought under control, Sovelin will be completely under the control of the Grand Elder's faction.

Of course, it would be even better if Ayesha were too afraid to come back.

Are the nine people discussing the future route to Sovereignty at this moment?

Sovereign was once considered a major power in the galaxy.

However, in terms of actual strength, they are far inferior to established civilizations such as the Kree, Xandar, and Skrulls.

The reason it was able to join the ranks of major powers is largely due to its relatively unique existence within the universe of Supreme Evolution.

So despite being enslaved and exploited by the supreme evolution, many Sovereigns are happy to accept it.

Not everyone is as restless as Ayesha.

However, with the death of the now supreme evolutionary entity, the Aogo Group has been divided up.

What should they do next in Sovelin became a big question.

Maintaining their status in the universe as they have in the past will not be an easy task for them on their own.

One of the most important reasons is the population problem.

Although Sovereigns can reproduce in a normal way due to their unique characteristics, this method of reproduction is not welcomed by the Sovereigns.

Therefore, in most cases, the reproduction of the Sovereign population comes from reproductive pods—which are actually gene culture chambers—and are cultivated according to demand.

In some ways, Sovereign's method of population cultivation is similar to that of the Kryptonians in the DC Universe—of course, their individual strength is incomparable.

In addition, the Sovereigns themselves have long lifespans, and despite being influenced by the highest evolution, they are also keen on collecting powerful genes.

However, the collected genes are more often used to optimize the entire race in order to produce more perfect Sovereign life forms.

They are not particularly enthusiastic about normal population growth.

This has resulted in Sovereignty's population remaining stagnant.

Despite being a powerful cosmic civilization, the entire race has a population of only a few million.

This number is pitifully small, not to mention among the various cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way, even for a civilization like Earth that has not yet entered the interstellar age.

Clearly, the elders of the council understood this, so they had to find themselves a new patron.

To some extent, this was one of the reasons why Li Wei and his team were willing to cooperate with Ayesha.

If the Sovereign were a vast empire with a population of trillions like the Kree, they would absolutely not be able to cooperate with them.

But if there are only a few million people... hehe.

Accompanied by a "boom".

The heavy soundproof door shattered instantly, startling the elders who were having a meeting inside.

When the smoke cleared and the newcomers were clearly seen, the nine elders in the conference room were shocked.

"Haha, I bet you're all disappointed to see me back, aren't you?" Ayesha's face revealed a gloomy smile.

These old fogies actually dared to seize power while she was away; they're simply courting death.

"Ayesha, how dare you come back! You killed the great Supreme One, causing Sovereign to lose its most reliable support. You are the eternal sinner of Sovereign!!" The Grand Elder slowly rose and angrily rebuked Ayesha.

However, while he was angrily rebuking them, his hand was inside his sleeve, frantically pressing the alarm device, hoping that his guards would come to his rescue as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, when Li Wei arrived, he had already enveloped the entire conference room in a magical barrier.

The Grand Elder's distress signal couldn't be sent out at all.

"If you like being a dog, I'll send you to see the Supreme Evolution, but don't drag me into it!" Ayesha sneered, raised her hand and fired a shot, killing the Grand Elder instantly.

It's not that keeping the Grand Elder around would have any impact on her.

The reason was simply that the Grand Elder and most of the council members had always opposed her, and the two sides had long harbored deep resentment. Previously, there hadn't been an opportunity, and the laws of Sovereignty didn't allow it.

But now that the opportunity has presented itself, Ayesha naturally wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

When they saw that Ayesha had killed the Grand Elder without saying a word, the remaining elders panicked.

In the past, they may have fought each other, but they rarely resorted to direct killing.

In particular, two elders who originally belonged to Ayesha 7's faction immediately knelt down!
"High Priest, we were coerced by them. We had no intention of betraying you!"

"Of course, I know you have no choice. Come here!" Ayesha said with satisfaction, then brandished her gun and looked at the remaining six elders. "And you?"

“We are very willing to accept the leadership of His Highness the High Priest. The Grand Elder has committed insubordination and deserves to die!” Faced with the threat to their lives, four of them could not withstand the pressure and quickly chose to surrender.

In the end, only two elders remained, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"It seems the two elders are unwilling to submit, but that's alright, I will make you submit sincerely!" However, Ayesha did not kill the two who were unwilling to submit, just as she had killed the Grand Elder.

As elders of the council, everyone present had a great deal of support in Sovereignty.

Killing one of the elders is fine, but killing three would easily cause unrest.

However, Ayesha and Levi had already discussed this situation.

She then looked at Li Wei, who nodded and turned his gaze to Mantis, who had now officially joined the alliance.

Mandis nodded and stepped forward to touch the face of an elder who refused to compromise.

Normally speaking, as a product of genetic technology, the Sovereigns' individual physical abilities cannot be said to be extremely strong, but overall they are actually superior to most ordinary aliens.

However, no matter how strong one's physical abilities are, they still need to be maintained through training.

Otherwise, they might not even be as good as ordinary people.

As the top figure in Sovereign, this elder was clearly used to a life of luxury.

Before he could react, Mandis touched his cheek.

The moment he was touched, the elder was completely controlled by Mandis. To the astonishment of the other elders, he knelt before Ayesha with far greater devotion than they did.

"High Priest, I am willing to die for you!"

Seeing the other person kneel down, Ayesha felt extremely happy, but her gaze towards Mantis also carried a hint of fear.

This powerful mind control ability is terrifying!
Not only Ayesha, but also several elders watching, and even Jessica and Bullseye stared wide-eyed.

Although Mantis has been a member of the League for some time, this is the first time they have officially seen her use her abilities.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Li Wei.

Are you kidding me? Even someone as powerful as Ego could be controlled by Mandis, let alone a few mere Sovelins?

It's just that this girl doesn't have any ambition. Otherwise, with her abilities, she could easily raise a force in the galaxy and dominate a region.

After subduing one of the elders, Mandis turned his attention to the last elder who had not surrendered.

"No...no...no, you're a devil!" The last elder, seeing this, tried to flee in terror.

But with a wave of his hand, Li Wei bound him tightly with a magical chain.

Mantis then successfully brought it under control.

"See? If you don't want to lose yourselves, you'd better behave yourselves from now on!" Ayesha was shocked by Mantis's abilities, but her face remained impassive as she swept her threatening gaze over the other elders.

The elders all obediently agreed, not daring to cause any trouble.

“Very well, next, let’s discuss the issue of reform. I think Sovelin needs a true monarch to rule it in the future. What do you think?” Ayesha sat down in the main seat that originally belonged to the Grand Elder with a smile, and said with an air of self-assurance.

Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances.

Good heavens, they never expected Ayesha to have such ambitions.

They actually want to establish a monarchy in Sovereignty?
This is too crazy!

However, while inwardly criticizing Ayesha's madness, he outwardly cooperated by shouting to her, "Greetings, Your Majesty!!"

Hahahaha! Upon hearing the elders call her "Your Majesty,"...

Having finally realized her dream of totalitarianism, Ayesha couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But when her gaze fell upon Li Wei's ambiguous smile, she fell silent, like a duck being choked.

I almost forgot about these old men from Earth!
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

What kind of place is Earth? How could it produce such powerful beings?
As her beautiful eyes swept over Li Wei's figure again, a strange feeling arose in Ayesha's heart.

If we could obtain his genes...

Li Wei was unaware that Ayesha had already set her sights on his body.

At this moment, he began to think about how he could completely control Sovelin.

Although the current alliance and Ayesha are cooperating quite well.

Ayesha also did not seem to have any intention of breaking the agreement.

But everyone in the league knows that this is only temporary.

Ayesha was never one to be controlled.

Ayesha's current cooperation is entirely based on the overwhelming strength of Levi and his group.

If Ayesha finds an opportunity, she will absolutely not hesitate to abandon the alliance, and may even deliver a fatal blow to it.

Just like she did in order to escape the supreme evolution.

Therefore, the best way to completely resolve this hidden danger is to thoroughly bind the interests of both parties together.

The most important part of this is the agreement they signed with Ayesha earlier.

Hopefully, my fellow countrymen on Earth will be able to lend a hand in the future.

Li Wei pondered to himself.

A few days later, after helping Ayesha completely seize control of the main power in Sovereign, Levi and his group left Sovereign.

Although Ayesha now controls most of the power in Sovereignty and is plotting to seize the throne.

But this will undoubtedly be a rather long process.

Therefore, Li Wei and his group could not stay in Sovereignty indefinitely.

After all, the league itself has a lot of things to deal with.

However, after leaving Sovereignty, Li Wei did not return to Anti-Earth—no, it has now been renamed New Earth.

Instead, they went to the Land of Nothingness, the Collectors' lair!
