I mean the new abilities, like Supreme Overlord or Beads of Ruin. Do they ignore Unaware or no?

I think they're affected by unaware only if they use stat stages, which supreme overlord and beads of ruin don't use.

Let's us first know what do the abilities actually do:

Supreme Overlord (Japanese: そうだいしょう Supreme Commander) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Kingambit.
A Pokémon with Supreme Overlord receives a 10% increase in Attack and Special Attack for each Pokémon that is fainted in the same party.

And the 4 "Ruin" abilities:

Beads of Ruin: Chi Yu's signature ability

Beads of Ruin decreases the Special Defense stat of all Pokémon on the field other than the Pokémon with this Ability, by 25%.

Swords of Ruin: Chien Pao's signature ability.

>Sword of Ruin decreases the Defense stat of all Pokémon on the field other than the Pokémon with this Ability, by 25%.

Vessel of Ruin: Ting Lu's signature ability.

>Vessel of Ruin decreases the Sp. Atk stat of all Pokémon on the field other than the Pokémon with this Ability, by 25%.

Tablets Of Ruin: Wo Xien's signature ability.

>Tablets of ruin decreases the Attack stat of all Pokémon on the field other than the Pokémon with this Ability, by 25%.

Now, we talk about unaware:

If a Pokémon with this Ability uses a damaging move or is targeted by a damaging move, the other Pokémon's stat stages are ignored during damage and accuracy calculation. Unaware will not prevent the moves Gyro Ball, Electro Ball, Stored Power, Punishment, and Power Trip from factoring in the stat changes that determine their power. This Ability has no effect on a Pokémon hurting itself in confusion.

So it's clear from reading the descriptions that, unaware will not ignore boosts from supreme overlord since it's a stat boost without a change in its stats stages. It can be considered like this, Kingambit's base attack and special attack itself have risen (due to it's ability) and now those raised values are the base stats themselves! Same as for the ruin abilities, the stat changes caused by them also are not ignored by unaware!

Alright. Thanks.
Your own source says the other Pokemon's stat STAGES are ignored. Supreme overlord raises stats without using stat stages, so it should not be ignored.
Ok, thanks for the correction!
