Logan's phone suddenly buzzed with a mechanical voice: "Launching [The Death God of Love] now. Coordinates (149, 755). Countdown starting... 10... 9..."

Logan was floating in mid-air, eyes wide open, lips trembling. "Bell! You idiot! Stop it! I have a way to kill that monster! Stop it right now!"

Bell heard Logan's yelling and smiled. "I know you have a way. Otherwise, you would've already run away. But I don't want you to use that secret card too early. You have too many dangerous secrets, and you shouldn't reveal them so easily. This is a lesson I learned with my life. And it's my final advice to you, Logan. Goodbye, my dear student!"

Logan listened to Bell's last words while flying as fast as he could toward the CEM38 base.

At that moment, he was only a few kilometers away, but it felt like thousands of light-years away.

Along the way, Logan saw the figures of several death-row prisoners. They saw him, some smiled foolishly, others waved at him.

Logan wanted to hear what they were saying, but he was moving too fast to catch any words.

Then, one of the prisoners closest to him finally spoke, and Logan's face turned surprised.

"Kid, you think your [War Domain] is cool? That's just what General used to play around with," the prisoner said with a proud smile. "But I believe you can go beyond General. Keep it up!"

As the prisoner finished speaking, Logan felt something grab his body.

In the blink of an eye, the night around him turned into an icy cave—cold and desolate.

Then, a bright and dazzling rune array appeared around the cave.

Logan swore it was the most complicated array he had ever seen, more complex than anything Kerparos had ever drawn.

Then, the rune array fully activated, and Logan was teleported away again.

When he finally came to his senses, he was already high up in the sky, tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

No matter if he wanted it or not, below him, a huge mushroom cloud was already rising.

"Damn it! You bastard, Bell!" Logan was high up in the air, falling fast, but his tears were flying upward with the wind.

Now, he finally understood why Bell never asked him about the function of his [War Domain], yet was able to use it perfectly in battle.

Because that little ice cave that could only fit seven or eight people was Bell's [War Domain]. Bell had already mastered it long ago.

Looking back, Bell's envy of Logan wasn't about the [War Domain] itself, but about how big Logan's familiar space was.

Logan could even imagine how much Bell had wanted to use the [War Domain] in a large-scale war.

At this moment, a deep and new kind of anger filled Logan's heart.

If he had killed the Nine-Headed Dragon right away, would Bell have had any reason to kill himself?

With that anger, Logan called out his horned hawk, Red Feather, once again.

One man, one bird, they rushed straight into the mushroom cloud, diving down at full speed.

As the Inferno disappeared completely, Logan landed back on the ground.

Using his soul power, he quickly found out that all nine of the Nine-Headed Dragon's bodies had been destroyed by [The Death God of Love].

But just as Logan stood there, feeling lost, the dragon's bodies began to move.

Logan frowned, and saw that they were healing—fast, with his own eyes.

One of the heads opened its eyes and looked at Logan, full of hatred. It said: "Logan, I won't forgive you! I won't forgive the people of Saint Heart City either! The next beast tide is coming, and it's even bigger than this one. Not even I can control it. Hahaha..."

The dragon laughed wildly, and Logan rushed forward, activating his "Dual-Beast Possession" mode. His body quickly grew larger.

"Why don't you just die?"

"Why don't you die already!"

Logan roared as he swung his fists, big as a train engine, and smashed them into the dragon's face.

Now the dragon was no longer able to fight. It could only stay alive thanks to its super powerful [Regeneration] ability.

So it could only scream in pain, taking all of Logan's punches.

Suddenly, a cold little hand patted Logan's ankle.

A sudden chill shot up from Logan's feet to the top of his head, cooling him down and shrinking his body back to its normal size.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Logan stood frozen in place: "City Lord, you're too late. Bell Major... he..."

Natalia looked at Logan and sighed. "I know everything. Do you know what the Federation does to make sure important prisoners are punished?"

Logan blinked. "What?"

Seeing that Logan was still able to talk, Natalia let out a small sigh. "Prisoners like Bell and his subordinates—before they're executed, their families are put under strict control. If the prisoner tries to escape, the family gets punished instead."

When Logan heard this, his eyes started to shake. He clenched his teeth and growled: "What did you just say?"

Natalia sighed again. "So Bell and his people had no choice but to die. They did all those things before they died, protecting so many people. The point was simple—to show off their glorious death and mock the people hiding in the shadows who planned all this."

Hearing this, Logan started shaking all over. "City Lord, who are those people you're talking about?"

Seeing the color return to Logan's face, Natalia gently patted his shoulder. "I don't know much, but if you go back and accept the Supernova challenge, you'll meet them. Bell was once targeted by them and lost his chance to become a Supernova..."

Logan's face turned red again.

A burning anger rose in his chest, and he had to get it out.

Natalia saw this and turned toward the Hydra. "I'll wait here. Do what you need to do."

Then, Natalia reached out and pulled all nine of the Hydra's heads toward her, forcing them to merge back into one body.

The Hydra, feeling the terrifying power of Natalia, let out a loud roar. "You're just a Legend-stage warrior. How could you use Saint-stage techniques?!"

Natalia snorted. "Because Bell and I were once the most talented people ever on the road to Supernova. If Bell hadn't been betrayed, your little beast tide wouldn't have even reached the outskirts of Saint Heart City."

With that, Natalia pressed her hand against the Hydra's forehead, forcing a contract upon it.

"Damn it! What are you doing! This is... a bondage contract! I won't accept it! I'd rather die than be your slave!" The Hydra, dozens of meters long, roared wildly and twisted its body, but it couldn't break free from Natalia's small hands.

The contract was quickly signed. Natalia immediately pulled the Hydra into her familiar space. "Hmph, your Nine-Headed Dragon clan is so revenge-driven. I'm not going to kill you! I'll改造 you a bit and give you to Logan as a familiar!"

Then, Logan walked alone to the ruins of CEM38 Base.

He looked at the burnt land before him, trying to find Bell's body, but all he saw was ashes and dust.

A wave of sadness hit him. He forced himself to stay calm and whispered, "Teacher Bell, I'll avenge you. I'll also protect your family. This is all I can do for you."

After saying that, Logan walked back to Natalia's side and said softly: "Let's go back."

…

Snow Dragon City, the capital of the northern border of the Human Federation and the seat of the Federation Parliament.

In the center of a huge hall, a news broadcast was playing. Every story was about Logan.

In the video, a reporter was interviewing a survivor that Logan had saved. She started by questioning Logan's strength, trying to get the survivor to say that others had helped him: "Do you really think Logan saved you all by himself? Was there any other help?"

But the survivor didn't say what the reporter wanted. Instead, he praised Logan to the skies: "Mr. Logan is our savior! Thanks to his help, none of the survivors or soldiers had a chance to fight the monsters along the way."

Bang!

A loud crash! A cup thrown from somewhere smashed the projection in the center of the hall.

"Damn it, you all hear that? Is that survivor even speaking in a normal way? According to what he said, Logan cleaned up all the monsters on the whole way by himself?" A old man in black robes stood up angrily and shouted.

At the same time, the head of the Tattalia family also stood up and said skeptically, "I've seen Logan in person. He doesn't have that kind of power."

Hearing the Tattalia head speak, the old man who had just thrown the cup shot back, "Hmph, if your family's Victor wasn't such a failure, would things have gone this far?"

Being criticized directly in front of everyone, old Tattalia's face turned dark. "Holt, shut your mouth!"

Seeing the two of them getting ready to fight, the old man sitting in the center of the hall pushed up his glasses and shouted, "Enough!"

Hearing the old man's words, both old Tattalia and old Holt stopped immediately and bowed to him. "Temporary Chairman, we're sorry."

The temporary chairman nodded in satisfaction. "Today I called you all here to talk about how to deal with this Logan. I'm sure you've all heard—Logan has the power to become a Supernova."
