The Imperial Queen had been searching for this paper for so long now. In fact, the other six hiding overlords had also tried their luck to search this paper but to no avail. Even one of them used all of their available resources to find clues about its location.
Who would have thought that it's been hidden very well by Windgod in his personal hidden treasury?
This paper held a great importance for overlords like them and it's very beneficial towards their path. After all, their paths were much more dangerous than those in who took the normal path.
"The paper you are holding is definitely tempting. I have been searching it for millions of years now. And now that you're using it as a trade for my cooperation, I can finally see your sincerity." The Imperial Queen smiled and nodded, "Very well, I will be lending a hand during the invasion. However, I will only move when it's necessary."
Hearing this, Windking sighed in relief.. He thought that he's going to lose the most precious item he had been saving, but Jin Rou saved him the trouble, "Your Friend Jin, thank you so much for your assistance."
"It's okay, I have no use for the paper anyway since it's for existences like them would it only draw its full power." Jin Rou said. It was true that this item had no worth for someone like him. After all, he was already standing at the very top of the whole multiverse. Although the paper had many good benefits to offer, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest.

"It's one of the hidden treaures of Windgod Perfection Immortal." Jin Rou smiled, "He had a lot of treasures that could tempt more existences like you. But those will be for my consumption."
"I see." Imperial Queen nodded. It's logical that Windgod had hid it very well, "That brat. He even thought of hiding this item from me. How I wish I could revive him and choke him to death."
Although it was only a joke, Windking felt his nerves going crazy and chills running down his spine.
"Alright, you may take your leave now. Don't worry, I'll uphold my end of the deal." Imperial Queen waved her hand and said, "I'm going to farm, so I cannot attend to you any longer."
"Thank you for your time." Windking immediately pulled Jin Rou towards the end of a temporary gate they had used a while ago. It was something that connected this nest and Immortal.
However, upon entering the gate, what met them wasn't the usual Wind Gate they were from but another space. It was a plain black sea with no island to see.
"Where is this?" Windking didn't expect this kind of scenario, "We are supposed to be in there Wind Gate now."
"It looks like someone pulled a trick to get us here." Jin Rou looked above and smirked, "How about you show yourself now?"
"Haha! As expected of someone like you." Suddenly, a black figure appeared. It wasn't a human, it was a moth with wings emitting dark gaseous flames, "That's right, I pulled a trick to get you here in my nest without Imperial noticing it. Although it costed me a lot, I hope it's worthy. By the way, I am called Mortheus."
Another overlord! Only overlords were capable of having a nest and domain. The only ones who were capable of severing spatial ties with the world!
"So what do you want?" Jin Rou asked, "If you're asking about the paper, it's no longer in my possession as you have probably seen."
"Haha, right! While you don't have the paper, I know that you still have a few treasures that might interest me. Come, show it to me. I'll decide if they are worthy of my help." Mortheus grinned as it spoke.
It was the most greedy overlord of the seven. It would do everything to get what it wanted no matter the price to take. As a matter of fact, it even robbed a fellow overlord in the past!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWindking could feel a headache and danger incoming. This overlord couldn't be reasoned out and it would do anything it wanted. Furthermore, they were on its nest so they were at a great disadvantage. Even if three immortals at the perfect level were here, it would still be hard to slay this overlord. This was the the type of overlord Windking didn't wish to meet.
"I don't have a treasure that might suit you. After all, you already strong enough." Jin Rou shook his head, "And Imperial Queen's help is already more than enough."
"Are you saying that you refuse my assistance?" The moth's voice turned deep and said, "Just to let you know, I am stronger than Imperial Queen. With my help, you can have a higher chance of surviving the impending catastrophe. You better decide properly."
"As I said, the queen is more than enough. Don't make me repeat myself." Jin Rou knew that this moth would try to rob him off in the name of assistance. As someone arrogant like him, why would he let this butterfly incarnate flap his arrogance around him?
"You sure have some guts to decline me." The moth was angered and its natural black eyes turned red, "But you see, declining me is a lot more costly than accepting it."
"Are you threatening me?" Jin Rou chuckled, "I'm sorry but if you still love your dear life, don't make this mistake."
"Such arrogance!" The moth's aura bursted forth, creating countless explosions around the sea, "You have truly angered this overlord! If you want to live, give me all the treasures you have in your inventory, or else don't think about leaving this place breathing!"
The voice of the moth was filled with hatred and power that it shook several realms around this sea. It was like an earlier catastrophe was about to descend to Jin Rou and Windking.
