At this moment, Pope David's lower body was completely made of bones, and his upper body was so thin that his skin was stretched tight over his bones.

Seeing him like this, Logan slowly walked up to him and said: "Why do this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Logan kicked Pope David out of the Hexagram Array.

Without Pope David's control, the Hexagram Array suddenly lit up.

Pope David landed on the ground and coughed painfully. Then he looked at Logan with anger and shouted: "You bastard! Who gave you the right to do this? The symbiotic weapon—Apophis—will wake up early!"

Logan looked at Pope David with a look of pity, and let out a cold laugh. "If I don't stop it now, are you letting it celebrate the New Year?"

Pope David's eyes widened in shock. "You're crazy! Fischl hasn't reached the Saint stage yet. Without a Saint to sacrifice, everyone is going to die!"

Logan gave Pope David a cold look and laughed. "What does it matter if others live or die?"

Then, the Blood Tree armor on Logan's body extended countless tentacles, which gathered into a sharp battle axe. He swung it down hard onto the Hexagram Array beneath his feet.

"Space Blade!"

In an instant, the space in front of Logan seemed to twist apart.

The earth flew into the sky, and clouds fell down to the ground.

One swing of the axe, and the world turned upside down. A hundred-meter cliff was lifted into the air, and the Hexagram Array was torn to pieces.

Although the earth that held the array was destroyed, the energy circuits connected to it still floated in the air.

Through the energy lines, Logan could clearly feel a chaotic, dark, strange, and violent energy awakening deep in space.

Logan coldly watched the center of the Hexagram Array, then turned to look at Fischl and shouted:"Start absorbing spatial fragments and gather them into space crystals!"

Fischl heard him and immediately sat down at the end of the Blood Cultivation Realm, starting to draw in space energy.

Logan kept his eyes on the Hexagram Array and let out a cold laugh. "I'm curious—what if even space collapses, will you still come out?"

The being inside the Hexagram Array seemed to understand Logan's words. A loud, angry roar suddenly came from the array.

Even though they were in different spaces, the sound rang deep into Logan's soul.

Pope David, hearing the roar, showed a flicker of fear in his eyes. He turned to look at Logan and growled: "Damn it! It's all your fault! Apophis is awake!"

Logan silently watched the Hexagram Array and said coldly, "Do you know how long it will take before it comes out?"

Pope David looked defeated. "The Hexagram Array is the ritual to summon it. Its roar was looking for the array's coordinates. You just destroyed the ritual, so the coordinates are hard to find. It will take at least ten minutes."

Logan nodded silently. "Ten minutes is enough."

Then, he ignored Pope David, sat down next to Fischl, and started absorbing the space energy at the end of the Blood Cultivation Realm.

Pope David saw Logan's expression and almost jumped with anger. "You still have time to absorb space energy and grab your benefits? Apophis is coming out—this is bad news for us!"

Logan didn't pay any attention. He just kept quietly absorbing space energy.

Meanwhile, outside the Blood Cultivation Realm in the Land of Sins.

Nico and Bobbi were dressed in black, tight combat suits, with metal tactical helmets on their heads, looking like sci-fi soldiers, waiting for the order to move in.

Suddenly, the space energy around the Blood Cultivation Realm started to fade. Both of them realized at the same time that someone was starting to harvest the space energy inside.

Nico lifted his earpiece and frowned. "Boss, why aren't we going in yet? The Transcenders and forbidden things are all inside. If we don't go in soon, it might swallow the Pope and make things even worse."

At that moment, a static noise came through the radio: "The electronic signal can't get through the space barrier of the Blood Cultivation Realm. If you go in, I can't track what's happening inside. Just wait a bit. Even if the Pope dies, it's just a little trouble for you, right?"

Bobbi heard that and immediately pouted. "That's not fair! We were promised this was an A-level mission. We're getting A-level pay, but taking S-level risks. That's not right!"

As soon as Bobbi finished speaking, the static went quiet.

Nico saw this and sighed. "Alright, the boss is still the same. We can't convince him, so we'll just lie low. We'll deal with him later—after the mission, we'll give him a real beating."

Bobbi watched the Blood Cultivation Realm's gate shrinking and shrugged. "Okay, okay. There's only a few Legend-level fighters in there. Even if they all get eaten by that thing, it's not a big deal for us."

She cracked her knuckles with a loud crack-crack. "When that thing comes out, I'll have some fun with it first!"

Then, both of them kept their eyes fixed on the Blood Cultivation Realm's gate.

The gate had shrunk from dozens of meters tall to less than ten meters.

As the Land of Sins' Blood Cultivation Realm started to collapse, Bobbi's eyes lit up with excitement.

Nico, standing nearby, got nervous too. She pulled out her Mental Perception Analyzer, checked it, and her face changed. "New soul reactions detected… very strong!"

Bobbi's eyes sparkled. "Heh, that thing is waking up. Once it eats the others, it'll have to come out, right?"

She then pulled out a jagged, gear-filled chainsaw from behind her and grinned. "Heh, that old-fashioned way of fighting like a human familiar tamer won't last long."

While the two girls waited for Apophis to break out of the Blood Cultivation Realm, Logan and Fischl had already absorbed 90% of the space energy inside the Land of Sins.

Behind them, a white space crystal floated in the air, glowing with an unusual light.

At the same time, the Hexagram Array floating in midair became unstable because of the loss of space energy.

Loud roars and shouts kept coming from inside, and even the big hands Pope David had summoned earlier tried to reach out, but they were all disturbed by the space turbulence and failed.

Pope David watched the Hexagram Array becoming darker and darker with each collision, and his face showed fear. "Damn it, Logan! Take off that space crystal and get us out of here!"

Logan and Fischl exchanged a look but didn't respond to Pope David's order.

At this moment, Logan had already activated his [Three-Headed Hell Wolf] battle style, and his three heads were constantly calculating how long until the Hexagram Array collapsed.

As the giant hand of Symbiote·Apophis kept reaching out from the array, one of Logan's heads turned to Fischl and smiled. "Listen to my orders next, and don't hesitate!"

Fischl looked at Logan's face, and her eyes showed all sorts of mixed emotions.

Ever since Logan sat beside her, her heart had been beating fast.

She had never felt this nervous around a man before, and she couldn't help but blush: "Okay."

Seeing her nervousness, Logan gently took her hand and said, "It'll be fine. Trust me."

Then, he winked at her, making her face turn even redder.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of space breaking apart. The Hexagram Array was suddenly covered with cracks.

Pope David, seeing this, screamed in fear: "Damn it! You two crazy people! It's about to come out! It's about to come out!"

After hearing Pope David's shout, Fischl also became nervous. She held onto Logan's hand and frowned. "Are you sure? It's something even Saint-level beings can't beat. You and your familiar haven't even reached that level."

Logan gently squeezed her hand and smiled. "Don't worry. Humans have always survived in any situation—not by brute strength."

Then, Logan jumped into the air and appeared above the Hexagram Array.

Right after that, he pulled out a magic scroll, waved it in front of Pope David, and laughed, "It's technology!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Logan looked down at the bottom of the Hexagram Array. It was as dark as the bottom of a deep hole.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes, like searchlights, lit up and stared straight at Logan's body. At once, it let out a loud roar: "Come here!"

The call hit Logan's Soul Sea like a heavy hammer, making his whole body dizzy and disoriented.

But quickly, the life crystal on his forehead helped him recover.

Through his soul power, even with his eyes closed, Logan could feel Symbiote·Apophis! getting closer.

He calculated the time carefully. Only when the fear made him feel like he couldn't breathe did he finally take a deep breath. He stopped looking down at the darkness and turned to Fischl instead. "Now, take off the space crystals!"

Fischl heard him and reached out to grab the [space crystal].

In an instant, the entire Blood Cultivation Realm started shrinking and collapsing before their eyes.

At that moment, Logan turned to the stunned Pope David, tore off the scroll in his hand, and dropped ten nuclear bombs called [The Death God of Love], each set to explode in ten seconds.

Pope David stared in shock at the bright 10-second countdown on the bomb heads.

"Your Holiness, let me explain—when space is small and being compressed quickly, the power of ten bombs can be multiplied by thousands!"

Logan looked at Pope David's stunned face and knew he wouldn't understand right away.

So, he smiled and instantly teleported to Fischl's side, taking her with him out of the Blood Cultivation Realm.

Right after that, the Hexagram Array shattered, and the ultimate weapon of the Black Church, Symbiote·Apophis!, came out of it.
