"Why do you want to kill Daniel with your own hands?" Ouljia asked, puzzled.

Logo deliberately put on a cold and disgusted expression and said, "I didn't want to provoke the Cult of the End, but these guys have provoked me time and time again. Now that we've formed a blood feud that can't be resolved, I might as well let them vent their anger."

"Is that so?" Ouljia looked at Logo suspiciously, but didn't pursue the matter further. "Then let's do as you say. However, we can't kill the remaining two. We need them to lead the way to wipe out those Follower of the End who have sneaked into Fallen Leaf County."

"Yes, I understand, don't worry." Logo nodded, and then, with Ouljia's tacit approval, he shot out a blade of magic from his fingertip, piercing through Daniel's chest.

The latter's eyes widened, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless.

[Hint: Revenge mission complete]

[You have obtained 1 Fate Gold Coin]

[The Fate Shop is now open to you]

[You can check the Fate War Rankings and the corresponding rewards for your ranking.]

Various prompts from the Eye of Fate flashed through his mind. Logo's heart stirred, and he directly used Fate Gold Coin to purchase Basic All-Region Map and used up his daily attempts.

The Basic All-Region Map can only cover the area of one province on the Continent of Stars, namely Maple Leaf Province where Logo is located.

One by one, points of light appeared on the map. Logo glanced at them and found that there were 68 participants in Maple Leaf Province. One of the points of light was moving rapidly in his direction. Judging from its speed, it had obviously recovered to the level of Lower Transcendent, or even higher.

"Are they planning to kill me?" Logo's eyes flickered slightly, but he wasn't panicked. Although he hadn't used the Revival Badge, his cultivation of the Fate Master System was still quite good, and his combat strength was definitely not low. Moreover, the Level Four Fate Artifact Master, Ouljia, was right beside him. The latter would definitely not watch him fight alone and would definitely help him.

Thinking this through, Logo didn't act rashly. He pretended not to have noticed anything and prepared to lure this ill-intentioned participant into the trap.

Thirty seconds passed, the All-Region Map merged in his mind, and Logo's consciousness left his body. He looked at Ouljia beside him and asked, "How's the supply procurement going?"

"We're still missing some medicinal herbs. Minghu City is, after all, somewhat remote, and resources are limited."

"Could we contact the local Star Envoy? The Star God Lineage should have ample resources, right?"

"The Star God Lineage..." Ouljia frowned slightly, spreading his hands, "These guys have always been at odds with our Apocalypse Cult. It's good enough if they don't fight when they meet, how could they possibly help us raise resources?"

"Don't you still have the identity of a Star Guards?" Logo reminded him, "We need to act quickly, we can't delay. The sooner we gather the resources, the faster I can concoct healing and buff potions. You don't want to let a sure thing slip away, do you?"

"Uh... okay, I'll give it a try."

Persuaded, Ouljia had no choice but to stand up, leave the courtyard, and contact the Star Envoy of Minghu City.

Logo remained alone in the house, his eyes slightly closed, sensing the increasingly clear natural elements in the environment. Looking at the dramatically increased level of integration, he couldn't help but feel pleased.

"Sure enough, after defeating Daniel, my fusion with the original owner increased further, the Star God Realm accepted me more, and my efficiency in absorbing natural elements greatly improved. Next, as long as I continue to improve my Fate Master cultivation and establish the reputation of 'Master Lude's Fate Medicine,' I should be able to reach 100% fusion with him very soon."

The original owner Lude Shiva, had a simple wish to retain his possession.

The first priority was revenge, which has already been accomplished.

The remaining two are to become great Fate Potion Master and achieve brilliant success within the Fate Master System.

Yes, this so-called glorious achievement corresponds to the level of Fate Master, which is the level of Truth Fate Master.

It's not surprising, really. After all, for a rogue Fate Master, becoming Truth Fate Master is enough to leave a brilliant mark on the history of the Star God Realm.

Compared to his level Fate Master, the original owner of this body, Lude, valued his achievements on the path of Fate Potion Master more, but this was nothing to Logo either.

Compared to Logo, a master of alchemy, the Star God Realm's rudimentary Fate Potion System was utterly insignificant—a complete and utter defeat. Therefore, he was very confident that he could push the fusion rate to 100% in a short time.

Time passed slowly, and at a certain moment, Logo suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were like mirrors, reflecting a rough, large hand. On that palm, whose lines were almost worn away, was a layer of violent and fierce bluish-yellow Dou Qi.

"Die, unknown participant!!" Kevin Jura grinned savagely, as if he could already see the brains of the person in front of him splattering.

When Kevin Julla realized that this fool had actually chosen to cultivate the native Fate Master System, his vigilance completely vanished. He was certain that once he got close to Fate Master's frail body, there was only one path left: death.

As for the Fate Master around the house, although one of them had extremely strong energy fluctuations, he was probably no match for him.

But as long as you can defeat this participant, obtain the Fate Gold Coin, and thus revive your strength in the Tier Two, nothing will be an obstacle anymore.

"A knight?"

The moment Logo saw the Dou Qi, he understood the person's profession and felt calm. If it were another profession, he might have been more cautious, but a knight? Just a brute with no special skills.

With a thought, the already formed Fate Art Template, the "Book of Runes," turned to a new page. After the patterns were combined and arranged, a set of golden armor appeared on Logo's body.

'Covered Body - Golden Armor!'

To Kevin Jura's astonishment, his iron palm, powerful enough to shatter thick walls, vanished without a trace upon landing on the thin layer of golden armor, without even a ripple.

"Asshole!!"

A furious roar rang out, and at that moment, Ouljia also reacted. Realizing that Logo had been assassinated, her pupils instantly turned blood red.

Having realized Logo's value, Ouljia, without mincing words, valued his life more than he valued his own, not only because such an outstanding Fate Potion Master could potentially be of great help to the Apocalypse Cult's reform plan for Fate Master.

From a personal perspective, recommending such a talent to the sect would bring Ouljia a great reward, and who knows, it might even help him break through the bottleneck that has plagued him for many years and become Truth Fate Master.

Therefore, Kevin's assassination of Logo was, in a sense, killing Ouljia's future; it's no wonder the latter went mad.

When a level four peak Fate Artifact Master goes berserk, the destructive power they unleash is terrifying. In an instant, intense divine light permeates half of Minghu City, and a storm of needle-like golden light strikes engulf the astonished Kevin Zhura.

First the clothes, then the skin, flesh, internal organs, bones... the whole person was evaporated by the intense light, leaving no trace.

The cruelty of this Fate War was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

It's important to understand that while Ouljia's strength might be comparable to Peak Tier Nine Transcendent in the Astral Realm, to Peak Demigod, she's nothing more than an ant that could be killed with a single breath.

Yet this very ant, today, has accomplished the feat of an ant killing an elephant, even though this ant has no idea what kind of being it is killing.

[You participated in the killing of a combatant]

[Since this participant belongs to the Misfortune Faction, you can only obtain one Fate Gold Coin corresponding to him/her.]

[You have obtained a Fate Gold Coin]

"So, you can get a full Fate Gold Coin by assisting in killing a participant?" Logo thought thoughtfully. "Then if my own subordinates kill a participant, can I get Fate Gold Coin?"

Are you alright?

Before the bright light had even faded, Ouljia rushed into the house, her eyes scanning Logo's body from head to toe. Seeing that he was unharmed, she let out a long sigh of relief, then frowned and asked, "Who was that guy? Why would he try to assassinate you?"

"Most likely they're Follower of the End," Logo casually remarked.

Ouljia nodded slightly, her expression turning serious, though it was unclear whether she believed Logo's words. She said, "I think it's best to send you back to the sect's stronghold first. You shouldn't participate in this operation; it's too dangerous."

Logo's expression shifted slightly. Considering Lude's character, he shouldn't get too involved. After a moment's thought, he nodded. "There's no need for that. I'll just wait for you in Minghu City, won't that be alright?"

"What if someone else tries to assassinate you..."

"That's easy. Just send me to the Minghu Star Envoy and let me stay for a while. The Star Envoy shouldn't refuse, right? At worst, I'll pay him!"

"That's one way." Ouljia's eyes lit up. One trouble or two troubles made little difference to him. Since he had already asked Minghu Star Envoy once, the psychological burden of asking a second time would naturally be much less.

"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
