Holy Knight Star.
The dilapidated floating city was teetering on the brink of collapse, with a large portion of its structure already broken off and crashing onto the planet's surface. Most of the buildings within the city were destroyed, and billowing dust filled the air, creating a desolate and tragic scene.
Logo descended from the sky, looking up at the huge, broken beast-like body before him, which resembled neither a sheep nor a goat and was covered in strange black scales.
This is half of Dark Moon Gelaxius's body, which was cut off by the Grand Elder with a war scythe during his hasty escape.
Apart from the rather unlucky Dark Moon, Frost Lord Leigh Wilde and Dark Moon Sylvain both escaped unscathed. This wasn't because Logo deliberately let them off the hook; High-Rank Demigod and Peak Demigod are inherently difficult to kill. Frost Lord was also very cunning; upon seeing Golden Lion Jiesili fall, he didn't hesitate to use his trump card to escape into the deeper dimension and disappear.
Dark Moon Sylvain, on the other hand, was much more straightforward and ruthless. He directly used a powerful gravitational field to create a miniature spatial wormhole and escaped from the battlefield.
Aside from the fact that these three Demigod were extremely powerful, the fact that the God-Hunting Spear could not be used frequently was also key to their successful escape.
Firstly, the energy source of the Nirvana Tower was insufficient to support a second attack from the God-Hunting Spear.
Secondly, the Nirvana Tower's ability to withstand the force was insufficient. Every time the God-Hunting Spear was used, the terrifying recoil would put enormous pressure on the Nirvana Tower. This time, the firing was particularly severe, not only instantly draining all the energy but also causing hideous cracks to appear all over the Nirvana Tower's body. When the gun was fired, Logo even heard the Nirvana Tower groaning in pain.
Logo understood that he wouldn't be able to use the God-Hunting Spear for a long time to come; if he dared to force it, Nirvana Tower would give him a taste of its power and explode on the spot.
Finally, there's the issue of the God-Hunting Spear itself.
This severely damaged artifact suffers further damage to its internal structure with each use, and given Logo's current level of alchemy, he is unable to repair the damage and can only leave it as is.
According to Logo's estimate, the God-Hunting Spear can fire a maximum of 7 to 9 more times. After that, it will be unusable, and repairing it will be no less costly than manufacturing a new God-Hunting Spear.
Conversely, by controlling the amount of use and maintaining the overall stability of the God-Hunting Spear, once Logo becomes a more experienced alchemy master, he will be able to perform basic maintenance and repair some minor damage.
By then, the energy problem of Nirvana Tower will surely be greatly alleviated with the increasing power of the Fire of Birth, and the God-Hunting Spear will become a standard tool.
Although they failed to defeat the three most powerful Demigod for various reasons, the outcome of this battle was still glorious.
Two Star Pillar -level beings have perished in the Ashes. Thus, three of the Eighteen Star Pillars have died at the hands of Logo, and all of them were of mid-to-high level.
The Dusk Star Pillar, the Barbarian Star Pillar, and the Dragon Star Pillar are all Mid-Rank Demigod, with the Barbarian Star Pillar being the most powerful. Unfortunately, he wasn't very bright and misjudged the battlefield situation, which ultimately led to his inability to escape.
In addition, Dark Moon Gelaxius, one of the Three Moons, was also severely injured by the Grand Elder. Half of his body was cut off by the Slaughter Scythe. Such an injury will not heal in a short time. Dark Moon Gelaxius will definitely hide in the shadows to lick his wounds. It is estimated that it will be difficult to hear news of him causing trouble for a long time.
The First of Three Moons was severely damaged, three of the Eighteen Star Pillars were killed, Ashes was severely weakened in terms of high-end combat power. It is estimated that they will keep a low profile for a while.
Compared to the Ashes, the Radiant Empire suffered far greater losses, including Prince Leiersen, Mid-Rank Demigod, and Golden Lion Jiesili, Peak Demigod.
The latter, in particular, as the most trusted confidant of His Majesty the Pope of the Radiant Empire, the leader of the Judgment Knights, and the director of the Inquisition, Golden Lion Jiesili's status in the Radiant Empire was, if not second only to the Pope, almost equal.
The Intimidation effect of killing such a pillar of strength as Logo will be extraordinary.
As for whether the Radiant Empire will retaliate fiercely?
There might be a tiny, albeit slight, possibility.
But the more likely reaction is fear.
The game between nations has always been based on reason, and it has always been a zero-sum game. To wage war out of anger goes against the basic logic of the operation of a nation. Even if the Pope wanted to do so, the entire ruling class of the Radiant Empire would not agree.
In short, all countries, by their very nature, bully the weak and fear the strong. This is not a derogatory term, but rather the best choice made after extreme rationality.
"In this battle, the Gendaya Royal Court will surely awe the Elven Plane." Mechanical Bishop Belotti gazed at the half-body of the Dark Moon and rarely expressed such sentiments.
As she spoke, Belotti was still carefully observing Logo, especially the old-fashioned hunting rifle in his hand, a deep sense of apprehension surfacing in the depths of her eyes.
An instant Destruction a Peak Demigod —such terrifying destructive power, could it be Demigod of Immortal quality?
even...
The deeper Belotti pondered, the more chaotic her thoughts became. She even silently moved a few steps away from Logo, not out of fear of being attacked, but simply out of sheer dread. It was like a normal person instinctively resisting a knife that had just been used to kill, especially one with bloodstains still on its blade...
Logo, realizing this, sheathed his God-Hunting Spear and turned to smile, saying, "Our Gendaya Royal Court was able to successfully capture Holy Knight Star thanks to everyone's help. As per our previous agreement, all resources will be delivered as soon as possible. Also, please feel free to choose from the spoils left behind by these fallen Demigod!"
Logo has always been very generous towards his allies, and this time was no exception.
Although the Demigod all had good personal relationships with Logo, who would complain about resources?
After some picking and choosing, the division was quickly completed.
Logo watched with a smile, and after the Demigod finished distributing the spoils, he chuckled, "Next, I'll need to trouble you all for a while longer to prevent the Ashes and the Radiant Empire from launching a surprise attack."
"You're really cautious enough. The Radiant Empire and the Ashes are probably too stunned to launch another attack." The Sunset Lord toyed with a newly acquired Demigod, looking at Logo strangely. He thought he was cautious enough, but Logo was even more cautious. Could it be that he was influenced by him?
Thinking of this, the Sunset Lord smiled with satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad, it must be because of me. I didn't realize this kid usually admires me so much!"
Seeing the sudden smile on the Sunset Lord's face, Logo was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. After receiving confirmation from the Demigod, he walked into the core area of the floating city, took out many alchemical devices, and began to repair the crumbling and dilapidated city.
A few days later.
News of the battle on the Holy Knight Star has spread far and wide, causing a huge uproar throughout the entire Elven Plane.
Coupled with Logo's previous battle in the White Wolf Royal Capital and the Gendaya Royal Court's unstoppable recapture of the Rising Sun Peninsula... many countries and forces have begun to re-evaluate the Gendaya Royal Court, this resurgent kingdom-level power.
After a brief evaluation, envoys from all corners of the world arrived at Origin Island, bringing gifts and goodwill.
More than a hundred years ago, after the fall of the Western Capital, the Royal Court Yuan Qi, was severely lacking in resources, and its military strength plummeted. Its international reputation and status also fell sharply, and the forces that were originally on good terms with it turned their backs on it. Some even kicked it while it was down, which made the already weakened Royal Court even worse off.
Now, with the two wars in the Rising Sun Peninsula and the Holy Knight Star System ending in resounding victory, the Royal Court has once again demonstrated its strength to all sides. Its previously sparse circle of friends has suddenly become lively, and even the great powers that once looked down on the Royal Court have begun to actively extend friendly signals...
The arrogant attitude of these countries that turned obsequious at first is not worth mocking, because this is the real world, where the strong prey on the weak, and weakness is the original sin.
The most direct way to witness strength is through war!
The rise of any great power requires the salute of war, a war fought with fire and blood, to truly earn the respect and attention of the world!
