?Sovereigns are a queer bunch. Just like there are weak titans because of their restraint, and there are strong titans because of their active embodiment, there are also different levels of Sovereigns. This is based on theplexity of their seed of power. The weakest sovereign is still on par with a grand god but the strongest sovereign can be as strong as a celestial god. Only a god King or the celestial supreme can tussle with an origin god.


    The seed of power is the foundation of a sovereign. Even if a sovereign dies, the seed of power will remain. The seed of power is eternal. When a titan goes through the valley of the shadow of death andes out of it, they create something eternal. Then if that Sovereign fuses with his seed of power, they too can be eternal. In a way, it is the greatest birth by the lower realm. The gestation of a mortal to birth an immortal.


    The moment a titan ofw ascends to sovereignty is eternal. Sovereigns can die but the number of Sovereigns hardly reduces. The seed of power of a dead sovereign ofw can be absorbed by a titan ofw to be another sovereign but this sovereign will never be able to be an origin god and they will also be the weakest type of Sovereign.


    The world is made up ofws. Beneath what can be seen or experienced is thew matrix, aplicatedwork created due to the interactions of concepts. Only when someone bes a Transcendent can theye into contact with thisw matrix. It is from it that they learn thews of the world to be lords and kings ofw before they go on to be titans ofw.


    When someone bes a sovereign, that person condenses a seed of power within their origin core. Then they can use this seed of power to ess thew matrix. It is a concept within them, that they can use to manipte the concepts of the world. It is like a key that gives them the permission to use world power as they wish.


    Titans can also use world power but it is passive, they can''t control it, but sovereigns gain active control of the world. The world bes an extension of their will. Their will bes Sovereign within the lower realm.


    Unfortunately, they can''t use this power within a shackled ne like the Virut ne. What they can do is rece world power with their will, since they cannot use it, then no one can. Gods happen to be creatures that rely heavily on world power. It is the world that elevates them to their level as a result of the wishes of the people. The power is not permanent and they can fall. But Sovereigns wield the same power because they deserve it. After all, they worked for it. They braved the chance of death, the very thing that scares gods, to acquire this power. So they cannot be insulted and called lowly.


    Even an Origin god cannot bully a sovereign with their powers in the lower realm. Several Sovereigns ofw may not be able to kill an Origin god but a Single Origin god cannot bully them. Origin gods are too suppressed by the ne to use their full power. A sovereign''s seed of power is protected within their Origin core but an Origin god has be the concept. That''s why Origin gods can be suppressed so easily and so much.


    "This is why we are called Sovereigns. We are not called gods, but sovereigns. We are above everyone else and there is no one above us in the lower realm. We are not lowly." As Tandrak spoke the Grand god weakened.


    Tandrak''s divine sense eliminated the support the grand god was getting from the world. Tandrak''s will immobilized the grand god. The avatar could do nothing but watch.


    "You are not even here with your main body or it would be a real fight." Tandrak shook his head.


    The grand god didn''t panic. It was not a surprising oue. This is why he tried to ambush Ghoto in the first ce. His avatar can harass a sovereign at best, it can''t even defeat a titan with full certainty. Ghoto had even survived the ambush. So he was not surprised that he was bested by the sovereign. The golem might allow them to use their raw power, but raw power isn''t everything. There''s a need for finesse and authority. Something only his main body had.


    "It is of no matter. The dignity of a god cannot be defiled. I will be back." The grand god said.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Tandrak opened his mouth and spoke. "Sunder."


    The single word he spoke discharged the brewing lightning in the clouds. The lightning fell like a waterfall onto the grand god. The golem disintegrated immediately when the pir of lightning struck it. It was like how a waterfall will peel away at a rock but much faster. Tandrak wouldn''t have needed to prepare for the attack if he was in a liberated ne. The origin energy in the ne and his ess to world power will allow him to instantly cast apocalyptic spells.


    The lightning didn''t disappear, it formed into a colossal lightning drake. Tandrak stepped onto the head of the lightning and began to approach the defense of the resistance army.


    The lightning drake was constantly roaring and shouting in the voice of thunder. The thunder ps created shockwaves that destroyed whatever it came in contact with. At least that''s what it looked like. The massive golem army that was being manufactured didn''t stand a chance against Tandrak''s approach. No matter how many they were, they would always disintegrate in waves.


    Tandrak continued unopposed, the path of destruction he carved through the battlefield made him stand out and he easily became the target of focus fire. Energy cannons and annihting beams focused on him but all their efforts were in vain, they would always disintegrate into pure energy whenever they entered a certain range around him.


    Tandrak (Thunder drake) became a titan ofw bybining thews of lightning and thunder. Thunder is sound. Tandrak had a low bloodline purity, so even though he awakened it, he never got a god-level talent. It is why his union with a woman without a bloodline created a son without an awakened bloodline. The best Tandrak got from his bloodline was a top-level talent for lightning. The purity of his bloodline affected what he gained from its awakening, it also reduced the bloodline''s influence on his personality. He had always been a silent child while others with more bloodline influence were always full of energy and talkative.


    He was ambitious and hardworking, he wanted to create a concept of destruction but he didn''t have the affinity for it. So he improvised and fused thew of sound with lightning to create a synergistic effect.


    Lightning is energy, energy in a highly excited state. Sound is the vibration of matter. Sound can be as small as the rise and fall of an electron within the orbital levels of an atom to create a photon, totally inaudible but of major significance. Or it can be as loud as a copsing star, still inaudible to weak beings. But every titan ofw has heard the sound of one as the stars within them copsed.


    He realized that sound needed energy to start and it can also lead to the creation of energy. And lightening is energy easily agitated. Theirbination amplified their effects. He can use lightening to fuel sound creation and use vibration maniption to either increase or reduce the energy levels of matter, thereby achieving the destruction of matter which further creates more energy. This is the path he chose.


    His concept is strong against both matter and energy. As long as he knows the vibration frequency of anything, be it matter or energy, they will be susceptible to his ability. The energy cannons and annihting beams are energy attacks, they will always disintegrate whenever theye under his area of influence. They are both formed from highly excited energy so they are unstable and looking for a release, he just as to provide the release by siphoning their energy through sound and they will be harmless.


    What''s worse for the resistance force is that the thunder drake beneath him was getting bigger and more fearsome, easily surpassing a kilometer in length, which lead to the expansion of the shockwavesing from it. All the energy he siphons is directed to his thunder drake which boosts its capabilities.


    With Tandrak leading the way, it made it easier for others to approach the defensive barrier of the resistance army. Tandrak''s was finally stopped by the barrier shield surrounding the entrenched army. He focused on the barrier and madeparations between its parameters and those he had in his database. He never forgets a vibration frequency he has acquired in the past so even though the shield was veryplicated due to it being created by several war fortresses, he still determined its frequency in a rtively short amount of time. Things were easier since he could physically touch it. That''s why he favors meeting people face to face.
