In the early hours of the morning, the stars hung low over the fields, their silvery light falling like ribbons across the sky, casting a hazy glow over the war-torn battlefield that filled the heavens.

Fear spread amidst cries and screams, with terrified crowds fleeing everywhere, causing countless stampedes. Logo, however, merely watched indifferently, then waved his hand lightly.

The next moment, the mechanized and bio-engineered Golden Sparrow, in flocks, gathered into clouds and swooped down on the earth, precisely and fatally killing the Transcendent living in the White Wolf Royal Capital.

The Dark Energy Wolf Beast opened its ferocious, steel maw, spewing out beams of dark purple energy. The Sky- Space-Rending Knight, wielding its ship-slaying sword, slashed wildly, Endless blades of light sweeping down like a storm. The Wings of the Firmament were even more decisive, unfurling their wide, butterfly-like, magnificent wings of light, bursting forth with intense light. Wherever they passed, towering buildings were destroyed, swaying weakly before collapsing with a deafening roar...

Destruction is spreading!

Puffs of black smoke rose, the once orderly ground was destroyed, and the magnificent palace turned to dust...

Logo had no intention of holding back in the face of the White Wolf Kingdom's capital; he intended to utterly Destruction it.

On one hand, it was for Revenge; on the other hand, at the moment of his arrival, from the perspective of the Eye of Insight, it was discovered that all the residents of this entire city possessed hidden demonic energy—the aura of the Primordial Demon God Diorus.

"As expected, the sudden betrayal of the White Wolf King was because of the Primordial Evil God?..." Logo's eyes were as deep as an abyss. His previous guess had become a reality, but he didn't feel too much surprise.

"Since you've become a den of demons, then let's annihilate you all. Vanishing from this world is your best fate..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Not long after Logo launched his large-scale Destruction offensive, a series of domineering auras that soared upwards and pierced the clouds suddenly appeared around Logo, like pillars of heaven, impossible to ignore.

Somewhat unexpectedly, there were actually four Demigod in the White Wolf Royal Capital, one more than Logo had anticipated.

These four Demigod are:

The ruler of the White Wolf Kingdom, White Wolf King Diriel, is Mid-Rank Demigod and a knight. He wears black armor, is burly, and quite handsome. Upon closer inspection, one can see that his facial features resemble Qiya's in several ways, but this is not surprising, as he is Qiya's uncle and they are closely related by blood.

Wolf's Kiss Brinsha, a loyal follower of the White Wolf King, Low-Rank Demigod, a night assassin, wears a black tight-fitting leather outfit, is tall, has short hair, and her appearance is hidden in the Mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

The Ashes Organization, one of the Eighteen Star Pillars, the Dusk Star Pillar Filomite, Mid-Rank Demigod, a spellcaster. This being is not a humanoid race, but an energy life form. It looks like a writhing, turbid sludge, with bubbles churning on its surface, giving off a feeling of malice, as if a single glance would corrupt one's soul.

And the last one, Amanda, the Dawn Knight the Radiant Empire, Mid-Rank Demigod, whose profession is his nickname. He wields a lance, wears golden armor that shines brightly, and his mane stands on end, making him look like a raging Lion.

At this moment, the four Demigod completely surrounded the Nirvana Tower, ignoring the city below that was being destroyed, and showing no intention of protecting it.

The Fire of Birth surged, and golden-blue flames coalesced into Logo's body. He raised his head and looked at the man in dark armor before him, who was none other than the White Wolf King, Diriel.

He held a greatsword, his pupils filled with dense gray-white lines, and his expression was one of aloof indifference, like a god looking down upon the mortal world.

Starlight focused in his eyes, and with the enhancement of his Eye of Insight, Logo saw even more.

Bloodline, demonic energy, karma...

"So, you were just a tool..." Logo looked thoughtfully at the White Wolf King before him, the former Son of the White Wolf.

Perhaps Diriel didn't betray us willingly, but it's too late to say anything now; he must die!

The White Wolf King slowly raised his greatsword, and gray-white tentacles emerged from the hilt, wrapping around his right arm to help secure the weapon. He didn't speak, but instead continuously increased his aura, attempting to suppress Logo's Nirvana Legion before the battle fully erupted.

But it was all in vain.

The aura of the 100,000 Nirvana Legion coalesced into one, as immovable as an unyielding star. The terrifying aura they formed directly suppressed the four Demigod in front of them, causing the three other than the White Wolf King to show solemn expressions.

Dawn Knight Amanda looked at Logo, who was surrounded by his 100,000 soldiers, and spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty Campbell, are you truly prepared to go to war with the Radiant Empire?"

"Heh, what are you talking about? I'm clearly attacking the White Wolf Kingdom, what does it have to do with the Radiant Empire?" Logo smiled faintly, charging the 'main cannon' as he spoke slowly and deliberately, not at all worried that the Dawn Knight would waste time.

"Don't forget, the White Wolf Kingdom and the Radiant Empire have Mutual Defense Treaty. His Holiness the Pope will be very unhappy if he finds out about this!" Dawn Knight Amanda emphasized the words 'His Holiness the Pope,' her threat quite pronounced.

Logo, however, didn't care at all. "Pope, my foot! I'll give him face and call him Pope; if I don't, he's just an old dog. What can he do about it?"

Although he didn't say it aloud, his contemptuous attitude ignited the fury of Amanda the Amanda Dawn Knight, who was fiercely loyal to Pope Anthony.

Dawn Knight, barely containing his anger, was about to say something more, the Dusk Star Pillar Filomite suddenly spoke, his dim, yellowish body writhing, his voice deep and muffled, "Alright, Amanda, stop talking to him. Act quickly! The ' Prophet ' spell template I set in my mind has been triggered, issuing a warning. This guy is preparing some trump card; we can't give him the chance!"

Upon hearing this, Wolf's Kiss Brinsha's figure vanished instantly, entering ' Space Walking ' mode, intending to approach Logo and complete the decapitation.

Brinsha's profession is an assassin. High-level assassins usually possess assassination techniques such as curses and causality to deal with higher-level targets.

In Brinsha's view, as long as she could pierce Logo's body of the Fire of Birth with the "Dark Night Dagger," she could use the power of cause and effect to distribute some of the damage to Logo's main body, thus completing the kill.

What good is it for a mere alchemist with such frail life force to command 100,000 soldiers?

However, the next moment, she was subjected to a fierce confrontation by the alchemist.

As Logo uttered the command, the Nirvana Tower trembled slightly, and countless silver tadpole-shaped runes detached from the tower, instantly forming a spatial domain that covered most of the city. Within this domain, all spatial fluctuations were completely sealed off, as if amber had solidified and turned into a solid state.

Bang!

The space surged and churned violently, like boiling water, and then with a muffled thud, Wolf's Kiss Brinsha tumbled and stumbled out of the Space Walking state. She had actually been forced out by the intense spatial pressure.

That feeling was several times stronger than the spatial confinement created by the Space Detection Tower.

"This tower has spatial properties... Such strong spatial solidification, no wonder it could break through the confinement of the Space Detection Tower..." Wolf's Kiss Brinsha's heart sank, as if a huge stone had been placed on it. This was bad. Alchemy towers with spatial properties were among the most terrifying weapons of war. They could fight and run away at will, and the others couldn't hold them back at all.

If Wolf's Kiss Brinsha could see the problem, the other Demigod certainly could too, but things had come to this point, and they had no choice but to fight. Even if they couldn't save the new king of Gendaya's life, they had to drive him out.

The Dawn Knight and the Dusk Star Pillar each have their own missions, but without exception, ensuring the White Wolf Kingdom is not Destruction is the core of their missions.

Thump!!

A deafening explosion echoed outwards, rolling like thunder and lightning. Even faster than the sound was the black figure, the White Wolf King wielding a greatsword, who charged directly into the battle formation with his powerful physique, his target Logo.

Ding ding ding~!!

The greatsword struck the soldiers, the crisp metallic clang echoing throughout. Terrifying gray-white sword energy raged within the Nirvana Legion, slaying one soldier after another with unstoppable force. However, the closer he got to the core, the slower his speed became, as he was held back by the fearless soldiers.

At the same time that the White Wolf King made his move, the other three Demigod each chose a direction and launched their attacks.

Wolf's Kiss Brinsha, wielding twin daggers, moved with lightning speed. Her sharp, Dark Night Dagger sliced through the chest of an Epic- level Dark Energy Wolf Beast as easily as cutting through tofu. Terrifying Demigod energy surged from the daggers, shattering the Dark Energy Wolf Beast's energy core. Furthermore, a highly toxic domain, ten thousand meters in diameter, appeared around her, its purplish-blue venom splattering and corroding the metal armor of her warriors with a hissing sound.

But that's all. A large-scale Demigod domain can completely suppress a few low-level Transcendent combatants, but when the number expands to the unit of 'ten thousand', the damage becomes negligible and is completely distributed.

Not to mention, alchemical warriors are lifeless beings, purely war puppets, so the effects of toxins on them are further weakened.

Therefore, Wolf's Kiss Brinsha was the first to feel immense pressure. Soldiers surged in from all directions, the ferocious Wolf's Kiss suddenly appeared behind her, energy beams shot from all sorts of tricky angles, and every now and then, the 'sun' would crash down from the center of the Nirvana Legion...

This Low-Rank Demigod, an assassin, had already begun to feel despair after fighting for about three minutes.

There's no way around it; with the space confined, fragile assassins with high attack but low defense are simply getting crushed by a monster that spawns massive numbers of soldiers.

On the other side of the battlefield, Dawn Knight Amanda revealed her Knight True Body right from the start of the battle.

Demigod- level battle Dou Qi materialized and surged forth, filling the sky with golden light and coalescing into a giant standing 1,200 meters tall. The knight's lance in his hand also swelled with the wind. With a furious roar, he swept across, instantly blasting away hundreds of soldiers blocking his path, sending them crashing to the ground. Countless buildings were Destruction along the way, but these thick-skinned creatures quickly shook their heads, stood up, and leaped up from the ground once again to rejoin the battle.

While a large size allows you to attack more enemies in a group, if the enemy is tough enough to be Destruction quickly, you'll be the one who suffers.

Following Wolf's Kiss Brinsha, Dawn Knight Amanda became the second to experience what despair truly meant.

Swarms of soldiers, as dense as ants, pounced fiercely from every corner. The black mechanical wolf-like beasts opened their mouths like madmen and bit his body, impossible to shake off. The humanoid mechanical warriors took the opportunity to finish him off, striking him from places where he hadn't been able to defend.

One or two times is nothing; the Knight class is a melee class, and its members are also known for their toughness and high defense.

The problem is that almost every minute, Dawn Knight Amanda is attacked by tens of thousands of attacks.

Small damages accumulate, and once they reach a certain level, a qualitative change begins.

Slowly, a massive mechanical sphere appeared in the sky. This sphere continued to expand as more soldiers rushed to reinforce it. Just looking at the thick mechanical shell from the outside filled one with a sense of despair. One could only imagine how helpless Amanda felt at that moment.

Compared to assassins and knights, the Dusk Star Pillar Filomite, a spellcaster, is clearly much more ruthless and sophisticated in his methods.

As an energy-based life form, Filomite is completely immune to physical attacks. Moreover, the Ability Energy that constitutes its body has extremely strong pollution properties. Once enveloped by this energy, whether it is Dark Energy Wolf Beast or Space-Rending Knight, its energy circuit will be quickly polluted, which will then infect the entire energy circulation system, eventually causing it to freeze and stop moving.

Moreover, the changeable nature of energy has allowed it to avoid being completely surrounded on many occasions, but that's all.

As Brinsha and Amanda's struggles gradually weakened, more and more Wings of the Firmament unleashed their firepower.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clusters of golden-red fireballs, each a kilometer in diameter, were launched in parabolic arcs from the center of the Nirvana Legion, striking Filomite precisely on the head.

A terrifying burst of light and heat erupted, and energy radiation streams flew erratically, weaving into an impenetrable network that filled every inch of space.

I heard you're good at dodging?

Very well, then I'll bombard every inch of space within my sight.

If once isn't enough, do it again, until you're crushed into dust.

Filomite, desperately dodging the relentless bombardment from the Wings of the Firmament, thought gravely, "This can't go on. We have to kill Logo Campbell, or we'll all die here."

With this thought in mind, Filomite decisively unleashed his power.

' Dusk Nova!'

With a crisp hum, as if something had cracked, a dim yellow light burst forth, like a star rising slowly, before exploding with a deafening roar. Countless beams of light, like needles, instantly wiped out the soldiers within a radius of several thousand meters.

This is the prestige of Demigod spellcaster; their combat capabilities are truly top-notch.

Of course, unleashing such a terrifying attack came at a price; Filomite's body noticeably dimmed, a normal reaction to the drastic depletion of his energy.

After temporarily clearing the area, Filomite began to sing again.

' Foul Gaze!'

A hazy, decaying gas rose slowly; if the surrounding area were still filled with soldiers, Filomite would definitely not have been able to complete this high-level spell with a 17th ring.

Therefore, he used another powerful move, ' Dusk Nova,' to clear the battlefield in advance, buying himself time, even if it was just a second.

Clearly, it succeeded.

A hazy, yellowish energy swirled like strands of hair dancing in the wind, Filomite's voice, cold yet tinged with a hint of amusement, rang out, "The new king of Gendaya, die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred-meter-tall eye appeared instantly, shooting out an unstoppable Pupil Light that traversed the battlefield spanning hundreds of kilometers and struck Logo with a deafening Logo.

In the distance, three thoughts converged simultaneously, each harboring anticipation, all yearning for Logo's death.

However, one second, two seconds...

Time passed by little by little, and the guy who was hit by Filomite's ' Foul Gaze ' attack was completely unharmed, still full of energy and in excellent condition.

"How is this possible? He's just a top-tier alchemist, so why is he completely unaffected by my Foul Gaze? That's a soul attack..." Filomite was stunned, as if his faith was crumbling.

What this Dusk Star Pillar didn't know was that Logo, who had transformed into an information-state life form, was least afraid of soul attacks.

To Logo, a soul? What is that? I don't even have a soul, what are you talking about?

Logo, of course, wouldn't tell Filomite, who was in a dazed state, about his own condition. Instead, he took the opportunity to unleash a fierce attack from the Wings of the Firmament.

Having unleashed two powerful attacks in quick succession, even Demigod spellcaster would have suffered a significant depletion of Elemental Magical Energy and be in a skill vacuum, unable to retaliate. Now is the perfect time to strike while the enemy is down!

Boom boom boom!!

One sun after another rose into the sky, then crashed down with long trails of flame, gradually evaporating and dissipating Filomite's energy-based body.

The Dusk Star Pillar of Ashes finally began to feel fear, for it caught a long-lost whiff of death.

Filomite began his retreat and sent a reconciliation mental wave to Logo.

Logo ignored him completely and continued his relentless bombardment. Not only that, he also squeezed out some of the engine's energy to allow the Nirvana Tower to release another Rune Array.

[Finite Space]!

The principle is to use spatial runes to form an independent, Finite Space to bind a certain life form. Then, through the resonance of inner and outer spaces, dimensional collapse, and spatial distortion, a complete space is crushed. It is a Rune Array used to hunt down individual powerful individuals.

Due to insufficient energy supply, the "Finite Space" released by the Nirvana Tower is not in its complete form; it can only trap people, not kill them.

But that's enough.

Filomite, already struggling to move under the relentless bombardment of the Wings of the Firmament, was further bound by space, making it as if he were carrying a mountain on his back. He could only helplessly endure Logo's merciless lashing, and in the end, he became the first Demigod to fall.

Boom!!

The Demigod's fall caused his life magnetic field to disintegrate dramatically, releasing a powerful stream of radiation like a star exploding. Perhaps this can be seen as the universe showing respect to such a life form.

The fall of Dusk Star Pillar Filomite fueled the despair of Dawn Knight Amanda and Wolf's Kiss Brinsha. The former began begging for mercy from Logo and even threatened him with the Radiant Empire, failing to preserve any semblance of dignity before her death.

On the contrary, Wolf's Kiss Brinsha, though shrouded in despair and fear, never yielded. Perhaps she understood that even if Logo spared anyone, he would never spare her, Demigod directly belonging to the White Wolf Kingdom.

Raising his hand and pointing forward, the warriors who had just finished annihilating the Dusk Star Pillar Filomite split into two groups and joined the attack on Amanda and Brinsha.

One minute later, Brinsha perished, cleaved into pieces by the Space-Rending Knight's ship-slaying blade.

Three minutes later, Amanda perished under the Wolf's Kiss of the Dark Energy Wolf Beast. During this time, the Golden Lion Jiesili of the Radiant Empire personally called to plead for her life. Logo merely sneered and silently turned the camera around, showing Golden Lion the Jiesili Dawn Knight devoured by the Dark Energy Wolf Beast.

"You'll regret this!" Golden Lion Jiesili said, his face ashen, staring intently at Logo.

"The howling of a defeated dog..."

"You..."

A flash of light, and the projection ended.

Logo's lips curled slightly. The enemy who was once out of reach now had no choice but to rage in his face.

That's the charm of growth—surpassing one enemy after another, step by step, watching their angry yet helpless expressions...

If you had to describe Logo's current feelings in one word, it would be -- awesome!!

With a couple of light laughs, Logo composed himself, regained his rationality, and continued his attack on the White Wolf King.

To be honest, Logo was quite surprised by the White Wolf King's fighting prowess. Moreover, as the battle continued, the guy seemed to Growing Stronger in Battle with each fight, and there were even faint signs that he was approaching the level of High-Rank Demigod.

"This is... the bloodline power of Pureblood Human Race. Has he really explored it so deeply?" After observing carefully for a long time, Logo discovered the reason why the White Wolf King Growing Stronger in Battle.

From the perspective of the Eye of Insight, the bloodline power within the White Wolf King's body was constantly surging, and it wasn't just a single bloodline aura.

"Time and space, is this trying to condense ' Emperor Blood '? No, it's still far from Emperor Blood, but it's already barely able to fuse with Space-Time, and its power is growing stronger. The spatial seal of the Nirvana Tower is actually starting to crumble. Is its level ultimately too low? Limiting the strength of the Rune Array..."

Logo's expression gradually turned serious. The seemingly indestructible White Wolf King made him acutely aware that something was amiss. After a moment's thought, Logo suddenly sneered, "Heh, so you wanted to use me as a whetstone?"

The Gendaya People are known as a warrior race.

As a superior bloodline, the Pureblood Human Race is even more war-crazed. The "Bloodline Purification Secret Art" obtained from the Kalenos Family has a very important step: to fight to the death repeatedly, and then, with the help of the corresponding resources and knowledge, to complete the bloodline purification.

The White Wolf King's actions were strikingly similar to those of the five great families undergoing a bloodline purification ritual. Although it was somewhat comical and a poor imitation, it did have some effect.

At this moment, Logo, combining the information he had obtained from Lancelot, had completely understood the significance of the White Wolf King's existence.

"Trying to use the White Wolf King's Space-Time abilities to completely escape Tibeici's Realm of Exile —no wonder the White Wolf King betrayed us, no wonder the Royal Court has been repeatedly targeted by the Ashes... Primordial Evil God, Diorus, you are the real culprit!!"

Like Thunderclap, Logo instinctively clenched his fist, a rare surge of anger rising within him.

Scenes of the sudden attack on the Royal Court a century ago unfolded before Logo's eyes like a vivid painting. Logo seemed to see hundreds of millions of his people being slaughtered, smell the stench of blood, and touch the still-warm corpses of children...

Logo looked up. He understood that these were not illusions, but rather the natural ability, after he became king, to hear the cries of his people and see the tragic Fate of his tribe in the past.

Countless voices converged in his mind into two words!

Revenge!

Revenge!

"Then... let's start with you!!"

As soon as the cold words fell, Logo raised his hand and gestured, causing the Nirvana Tower to spin and shrink, transforming into an ancient hunting rifle.

The Black Hole of the gun was aimed at the White Wolf King, who was surrounded by soldiers. The latter suddenly looked up, and the feeling of having a gun pointed at his forehead made his long-dormant soul tremble with fear.

The threat of death surged through my defenses like a tidal wave; countless gray-white lines coalesced within my pupils, as if trying to materialize into a human figure and Escape from this place.

However, it was too late. The moment the God-Hunting Spear locked onto him, his Fate was sealed!

Bang!!

A soft sound, not particularly loud or high-pitched, yet eerily resounded in every corner of the half- Destruction city in an instant.

The pale red spherical bullet appeared and, under the effect of [No Distance Between Two Realms], arrived at the White Wolf King's brow.

Thump!!

Without any hesitation, the White Wolf King's head exploded, and then, under the Destruction power of the bullet, all parts of his body, organs, cells, and even his soul, cause and effect, and consciousness... were completely evaporated and vanished from this world.

The White Wolf King has fallen!
