Inside the Temple of Saint Heart City.

Holy Son knelt in front of the statue, praying with great devotion.

Behind him, Eugenia and Shaya Priest looked worried.

Nancy Priest walked slowly between the group and frowned, asking: "Why did you provoke Logan?"

Eugenia and Shaya looked at each other, then both turned their eyes toward Holy Son.

Holy Son faced them with his back, stretched his arms, and laughed. "Now that the Federal Council is in a power vacuum, they sent us away to suppress The Black Church. They just don't want us to interfere with their politics."

"But you all saw it—how corrupt the Federal Council has become. Just changing the chairman won't fix it. Only the light of the gods can clean the sins of these foolish people and guide them back on the right path."

Hearing Holy Son's wild words, the others looked shocked.

Nancy Priest stepped in front of him and frowned, warning, "Your Highness Holy Son, the Temple doesn't get involved in politics. That's a rule set when the Human Federation was first formed. Doing this will bring trouble to the Temple."

Holy Son shook his head with a smile. "They don't have the power to trouble us. Instead, we are their salvation!"

He looked at the statue with a dreamy expression. "I received a divine message. If we take control of The Black Church before the power structure of the Human Federation is completely rebuilt, we'll have overwhelming power and can take part in the politics of the Federation."

"What a beautiful thing that would be!" Holy Son grew more and more wild as he spoke. The others around him stepped back, watching his strange behavior.

Eugenia hesitated for a moment, then spoke again. "The Black Church has a deep foundation, just like us. Even if Logan took their Blood Cultivation Realm wealth, their strength isn't something we can control quickly."

Hearing this, Holy Son clapped his hands. "Smart!"

Then he walked up to Eugenia and lifted her chin with his hand. "So, we need to win time with wisdom."

"The first chairman of the Human Federation once said: to beat a country, first beat its men. To conquer a people, first conquer its women."

"So this time, I've decided to personally marry the Imperial Princess of The Black Church. From me, all male members of the Temple, including the knights, will go with me to marry the female priests of The Black Church."

"Once those priests carry the children of light, they will no longer be able to resist the rule of the light."

Shaya Priest turned pale when she heard Holy Son's suggestion. "What about the male priests of The Black Church? Are you planning to make us, the female believers of the Temple, marry them too?"

Holy Son smiled gently at Shaya's fear. "Of course I wouldn't let darkness pollute the light. So, I plan to kill all the male priests of The Black Church!"

The way Holy Son spoke about killing made the women feel uneasy.

Nancy Priest turned around and walked straight toward the entrance of the hall. "Your Highness Holy Son, I can't stop your decision. But the Twilight City Temple will not take part in any of your plans. I'll leave with my people tomorrow."

Holy Son was surprised by Nancy Priest's move. "Why?"

Nancy Priest stopped and said coldly, "I don't think you have the power to achieve your dreams. At the very least, you won't be able to marry the Imperial Princess."

Nancy Priest's figure disappeared into the distance, and Holy Son's smile froze.

He took a deep breath, then turned to look at Eugenia and the others. "Do you all think I can't marry the Imperial Princess?"

Shaya stayed silent. Eugenia sighed. "Everyone can see that the Imperial Princess is Logan's woman. Your Highness Holy Son may be the Temple's rising star, but... you still have a long way to go compared to him!"

Hearing this, the ground beneath Holy Son's feet cracked.

His fists clenched with a loud sound, and his face turned red with anger. "So you all think I'm not as good as that coward Logan, who just hides behind his familiar?"

Eugenia didn't answer, but her eyes showed exactly what she was thinking.

That made Holy Son even angrier.

But after a moment, he calmed down. "The Imperial Princess has my divine spell on her. She has to marry me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Logan's voice came from behind. "Is it really that hard to break a divine spell?"

Hearing Logan, Holy Son lifted his eyes and smiled proudly. "No one else can do it except me."

Logan walked slowly into the hall and nodded. "Got it. I'll spare your life, but I'll Enslave your mind."

Eugenia's eyes widened in shock. "Logan! You can't attack Holy Son. That would be a declaration of war between the Federation and the Temple!"

Logan looked at the statue and spat. "I'm the one declaring war on your stupid god!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying force shook everyone's soul in the hall.

Holy Son's eyes widened. "Get down! He's going to—"

Before he could finish his warning, countless space cracks suddenly split open above their heads.

A series of space blades shot down like knives, cutting through the entire Temple. The statue of the god in the center of the Temple was instantly turned into a pile of mosaic pieces.

Shaya Priest stared at the falling pieces, like raindrops. She stood frozen. "Logan! How could you!"

Eugenia drew her sword and pointed it at Logan. "Logan, I don't care if you're after Holy Son, but you shouldn't be desecrating the gods!"

Logan smirked. "I thought you guys were reasonable. Turns out you're just brainwashed priests."

As he finished speaking, a dozen space gates appeared behind him. Dozens of black ants and ash-colored dragons crawled out, destroying everything in their path.

Seeing this, Holy Son's eyes bulged. "Logan! You're insane! What are you trying to do? We can talk first!"

Logan laughed coldly. "If I can solve something with my hands, I never waste words."

Holy Son was furious. "I'm giving you a chance, but don't take it. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Then, a beam of holy light fell from the sky and suddenly surrounded Holy Son.

In an instant, his power exploded, filled with divine power and authority. "Blasphemer! You must be destroyed!"

Holy Son raised his hand, and a massive light column, tens of meters wide, shot straight at Logan. The heat from the beam melted everything in front of it, and the light was so bright it lit up the entire Saint Heart City.

In the City Lord's Office, Garen, the City Lord, had just taken off his coat and was about to rest.

The light outside the window suddenly made him shiver all over, like a cat that had its tail stepped on—his fur stood straight up.

"Damn it! How dare the Temple act in my Saint Heart City? This is a rebellion!" Garen shouted, then jumped out of the window and called out his familiar to fly toward the Temple.

Outside Saint Heart City, in the military camp.

General Philip and General Darwin had just finished brewing a cup of tea and were eating some cookies.

Suddenly, bright light filled the city, almost blinding the two of them.

Philip hit his thigh hard and yelled, "Oh no! I forgot to tell the Temple kids to remove the spell on the Imperial Princess!"

Darwin, hearing Philip's words, also jumped in surprise. "You mean...?"

Philip looked very bitter and nodded. "It's probably Logan who's coming to cause trouble!"

Darwin shot up from his seat. "That can't be allowed!"

The two old generals were about to lead the soldiers into the city to stop the fight, when suddenly the tent was lifted up. Judge Arthur walked in with a bottle of brandy and said, "What's the rush? Let the young ones fight first, and we'll step in later."

But Philip and Darwin didn't care.

Philip muttered, "After they finish, Saint Heart City might be in ruins!"

Darwin glared at Arthur. "You want to use Logan to take down the Temple, but you can't risk Saint Heart City in the process!"

Arthur watched the two old generals leave and laughed to himself. "You really misunderstood me. I just wanted Logan to kill Holy Son!"

With that, Arthur opened the bottle and drank the whole thing in one go.

Meanwhile, in the Genius Training Camp.

Sophia and Lucia looked at Natalia, their faces full of worry.

Natalia sighed. "It's no use looking at me. If I were Logan, I'd be knocking on their door too."

Sophia and Lucia looked at each other and both rolled their eyes.

Sophia sighed. "You should have said that earlier. We weren't trying to stop you—we just wanted to help too."

Natalia was shocked. "What? You guys are the instructors at the Genius Training Camp!"

Lucia immediately put on her combat suit and grabbed her weapon. "We're not anymore after the civil war."

Sophia followed suit, putting on her gear. "You forgot, right? We promised to go to the监察院 together."

Natalia just rubbed her forehead in disbelief. "You should have told me earlier! I was even worried you'd try to stop Logan, so I was watching you all this time."

Sophia jumped out the window, her voice echoing in the room. "Now we go—there's still time to tear the place down!"

At the same time, as everyone rushed toward the Temple,

Logan had already started destroying everything.

Ever since he made Nel cry in the arena that afternoon, he had suddenly become serious.

Holy Son appeared like a god descending from the sky, his power so intense that even Logan felt nervous.

But Logan didn't fight Holy Son at all. He just kept annoying him, using his many familiars. All he did was one thing—tear the place apart.

After chasing Logan for a few minutes, the Temple was completely destroyed.

The huge Temple that once stood in the center of Saint Heart City, covering hundreds of hectares, was completely gone, like it had been erased by an eraser. Every single piece was taken away by Logan's black ant army. Not even a single stone was left behind!

Once Holy Son realized this, he was furious. "Logan! I'll kill you!"
