The Sovereign power essentially ceased to be when the Eyes were destroyed since you can't control something that doesn't exist anymore. After Loptr was absorbed, regardless of what mark he had before he was sent back into the past, his original diamond (Prophetic) mark is the only thing that flashes briefly when Balder becomes corrupted. This hints that Loptr either lost the Sovereign power upon being absorbed or it doesn't exist anymore. I personally think the latter.

Also, keep in mind that even if Balder had the Sovereign power from Loptr, it wasn't necessary for his plan in the first game. He didn't want to take Bayonetta's Eye and then control both of them for his own use, he simply wanted to bring them together to give to Jubileus.
