It didn't notice the nuclear bombs nearby. Instead, it rushed straight for Pope David—the only person in the space with a soul, and a very powerful one at that.

The instinct to swallow souls and merge with living beings made Apophis swallow Pope David in one big bite.

Before closing his eyes, Pope David saw the [The Death God of Love] in the distance suddenly glow with white light, and then the area around him turned completely dark.

He felt no pain, just like he felt no happiness.

No light, no sound, no touch—everything about him was turned into gas by the powerful energy.

Before his consciousness disappeared, he kept thinking over and over...

"Even the power of Saint-level beings couldn't beat it. Can technology really do it? Isn't technology already outdated?"

At the same time as [Land of Sins] completely collapsed, shrunk, and exploded, Logan appeared in the Star Lake base with Fischl in his arms.

Fischl was sitting on his back, her legs wrapped around his waist in a very suggestive position.

Suddenly, she noticed a bunch of eyes watching her and quickly stood up, blushing as she looked around. "Sawako, Yelena, Jessica… you're all here?"

The girls, seeing Fischl actually turn red, looked shocked, as if they had discovered something new. They all gathered around her, talking excitedly.

They told the story of what had just happened, and everyone listened in shock.

Sawako hit her chest and sighed, "That was terrifying. Even without being there, I could feel the fear and despair."

At that moment, Fischl turned to Logan and frowned. "Logan, what about Vincent? Is he okay? And Milo—what if he got hurt? You told him to evacuate people 24 hours, but you blew up the Blood Cultivation Realm in just twelve hours…"

Logan shrugged, raising his hands with a smile. "If I didn't say that, they wouldn't have come to help. Twelve hours was enough for them to leave. Don't underestimate those rebels—they're pretty strong."

Fischl still wasn't convinced. She said, "You guys in the Human Federation have military satellites, right? I can give you the coordinates of The First Holy City. We can use the satellites to track where that Apophis is going."

When she said that, Logan smiled and picked up his phone, calling Philip General. "Old man, I need to tell you something. The ten [The Death God of Love] you gave me? I just blew them up."

On the other end of the line, Philip General was having tea with Darwin General.

When he heard that Logan had just exploded ten nuclear bombs in The First Holy City of The Black Church, he spat out his tea in shock, splashing it all over Darwin General's face.

After hearing what Logan said, Darwin General didn't even care about arguing with Philip anymore. He stood up immediately and shouted, "Logan! What are you thinking? You blew up a human alliance city with nuclear bombs? This will cause a huge political mess!"

Logan sighed, pinching his temples. "It's a long story. The point is, the previous chairman was killed by The Black Church. I have the list and the proof. Right now, you need to help me lock onto the [Land of Sins] square in The First Holy City of The Black Church."

After hearing this, the two old generals realized it was urgent. They immediately told the intelligence department to adjust the military satellites and scan The First Holy City.

As soon as the images came in, both of them were shocked.

At that moment, The First Holy City of The Black Church was almost completely empty.

"Did everyone really leave?" Philip General said in surprise, then sent the video to Logan.

Logan looked at the empty [Land of Sins] square and frowned. "That doesn't make sense."

According to Logan's plan, the ten nuclear bombs exploding in a shrinking space should have created a huge explosion and shockwave, destroying everything and causing a second collapse.

This was like detonating a star-level energy source in the core of a collapsing space. The massive energy would create countless particle rays and energy waves, destroying everything in its path.

As a result, The First Holy City was definitely going to be hit and destroyed.

But right now, The First Holy City of The Black Church showed absolutely no sign of any damage.

Logan scratched his head, confused for a moment. But at least the terrifying Symbiote·Apophis! didn't appear outside, so he felt a little relieved.

Just thinking about the terrible eyes that had nearly overwhelmed him made him shiver.

He had thought that with his strong soul power, his blood tree armor, and a large army of familiars, he could trap Apophis!.

But after seeing Apophis!'s stats, he immediately gave up that idea.

[Name: Apophis!]

[Species: Slime·Symbiotic Hybrid]

[Stats: None]

[Rank: S-level, 5 stars]

[Stage: Saint, 5 stars]

[Talents: Fuse with organic matter, absorb spiritual bodies, convert energy stats]

[Skills: Soul Pollution, Mind Control, Energy Entanglement, Matter Absorption]

[Stats: Power 29807, Stamina 28674, Mind 25677, Agility 23654]

…

For a being with such an absurd level of stats and abilities, Logan knew that even if he used all his tricks, he wouldn't have a chance.

So, it was better to just blow it up with [The Death God of Love].

But now, Logan started to doubt whether [The Death God of Love] would really work.

After all, The First Holy City of The Black Church was deep inside the Lost World, where the laws of invincibility had a huge effect.

While Logan was confused, far away, thousands of kilometers away, something was about to happen.

Nico and Bobbi were both bent over, coughing heavily.

Their black body suits were torn and ragged, revealing parts of their bodies.

Behind them, a jelly-like slime was trapped inside a bottle, struggling wildly.

Bobbi looked up at the bottle and frowned, saying, "Damn it, Logan better be dead from that explosion. If I see him again, I'll skin him alive!"

Nico wiped the dirt off her face, took a deep breath, and patted her chest, saying: "You scared me to death, you know. That explosion was so strong, and you just ran into the Blood Cultivation Realm and pulled out that forbidden thing."

Bobbi glared at Nico and snapped, "If I didn't bring it here, what if it wasn't completely destroyed? What if there was some leftover? Then it would be the people in this area who got hurt. I was saving them, okay?"

Nico rolled her eyes and muttered, "If everyone was as reckless as you, our exploration team would never have more than ten people. You're strong, Bobbi, but this isn't a reason to risk your life. Don't forget how the leader got hurt."

When she heard that, Bobbi fell silent.

She checked on Apophis! again, then opened her familiar space and pulled out a communication device. She dialed a number and said, "Boss, the forbidden item has been recovered. There was a huge nuclear explosion. The Transformed and the Symbiote were in the center. They might be dead."

After hearing Bobbi's report, there was a pause, then a voice on the other end asked, "How did you handle the nuclear explosion?"

Bobbi's eyes flickered as she answered, "It was too urgent. I pulled them into my body. I haven't digested them yet."

"Idiot!" The voice on the other end became more urgent. "You need to get back to the base right now!"

"But!" Bobbi interrupted, her face showing a bit of frustration. "The Transformed hasn't been confirmed to be alive yet. I want to recruit him into our team."

When she heard that, the voice on the other end said firmly, "No way! Finding the Transformed is something I'll handle myself. You have to come back right away. Hello? Are you listening?"

Bobbi hung up the call in silence, then turned to Nico and said, "Bell also died because of something like this. This time, I won't let this chance slip away—unless the person who planted the bombs is really dead."

Nico heard that and also cut off her own call, sighing. "This is the last time. I'll only go crazy with you once."

Then, Nico moved closer to Bobbi and pulled up her clothes, revealing a body that was barely holding together.

At that moment, Bobbi's body kept cracking and healing, showing signs of breaking down at any moment.

Nico took a sharp breath. "You can't fight like this anymore. If you keep pushing yourself, I might not be able to save you next time."

Bobbi grinned. "Don't worry, I still have you, right? Next time, I'll cover for you while you show off.

Thud!

Nico hit Bobbi on the head. "Show off, my foot! If that Logan guy isn't dead, he'll definitely go back to the Human Federation. Let's check there."

…

Outside Saint Heart City, in Philip General's tent.

The top leaders of the Human Federation were all packed into the small space, staring at Logan with serious expressions.

Logan had already explained everything that had happened, but he didn't mention the benefits he had gained.

Everyone was shocked to learn that the Black Church had such a terrible secret history. Especially Holt and others, who found out that the previous chairman had also died in the First Holy City of the Black Church. Their faces showed strong anger.

Soon, the tent was split into two groups, arguing loudly and not letting up.

One group led by the Parliament wanted to punish the Black Church, destroy it completely, and have the Human Federation take over the thirteen Holy Cities.

The other group, led by the Temple, wanted to take over everything from the Black Church to strengthen their own power, to make up for the loss of the Temple's high priest.

The members of the Military Committee and the Judicial Tribunal listened to the argument but said nothing, showing complete neutrality.

As the two sides couldn't convince each other, Garen City Lord finally coughed and said: "You should also hear what Logan has to say. After all, he's about to become the principal of the Inspection Bureau, and he's now on equal footing with you."
