"Ah, ah!" Solomon General gritted his teeth. "The energy of that thing has already gone beyond Legend stage 5 star. All I can do is take it down with me."

With his last bit of strength, Solomon General kicked Philip General and Darwin General out of the Blood Cultivation Realm.

At the moment the two generals passed through the light gates, Solomon General sighed. "The last [The Death God of Love], die!"

As he finished speaking, the sixty-four light gates that had blocked the City Lord's Office area flashed with bright white light, and started to shrink rapidly.

The familiar energy that had been absorbed by the light gates turned into heat and light energy, covering the body of the connected centipede from all sides, making a hissing sound of burning.

Then, a ball of fire rose up, and the sixty-four light gates, which were quickly compressing, wobbled and shook.

Finally, a huge fireball shot into the sky, and the sixty-four light gates of the Blood Cultivation Realm exploded, sending a loud noise through the entire Golden Sand City.

Outside the city, Augustus, who was using the Blood Cultivation Realm to block Golden Sand City, felt the energy fluctuations inside the city. His face turned pale and red in turns—he could already sense that his companions had been lost.

Soon, Philip General's voice came through the communicator: "Solomon sacrificed himself. The Bone Clan can connect head to tail, forming a human centipede and doubling their power."

In the City Lord's Office district, beneath the blazing fire, the body of the connected centipede slowly stood up.

A loud roar even drowned out the sound of [The Death God of Love]. Even the Blade Squad outside the city felt a chill run down their spines.

Darwin General's voice came again: "Unfortunately, that guy's power has gone beyond Legend stage. [The Death God of Love] no longer works on him."

At the critical moment, Solon's voice came through the communication channel: "Don't let it escape. We're coming right now!"

Suddenly, Philip General's voice spoke again. He sighed, "Take Darwin. I'll hold it back before you get here."

Darwin rushed, "Philip, what are you doing? You're hurt worse than me!"

Philip laughed: "Yeah, I'm hurt worse. And it's a fatal wound!"

As he finished speaking, Darwin was hit hard in the back of the head and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Philip General commanded his mechanical army to lift Darwin and slowly walk toward the city's outside.

At that moment, [Hayya·Bakaz], who had been used as an energy converter, slowly stood up.

As a middleman for nuclear and familiar energy, it had a defense strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion.

As the connected centipede was about to break free from the area around the City Lord's Office, Philip General slowly raised his arm.

Suddenly, [Hayya·Bakaz] jumped up and landed right on top of the centipede's back, locking its body tightly.

With a loud scream, the centipede wildly shook its body, trying to throw [Hayya·Bakaz] off.

At that moment, a bunch of electric blades shot out from inside [Hayya·Bakaz], piercing through the centipede's armor.

A powerful electric current rushed into the centipede's body, making it twist and scream in pain.

Philip General coughed up a mouthful of blood. His wound on the stomach opened again, and the pain almost made him lose his balance.

"Ha, you damn insect. If I were at my best, I might have been able to kill you with my last bit of strength!" Philip gritted his teeth, his voice full of regret.

"The underground battlefield needs Solon and the others' power. Today, I'll burn my last bit of strength to take you down. Make way for my comrades!" Philip spat blood, and his eyes had turned golden.

Seeing this, Logan clenched his fists and cursed loudly: "Idiot! You old fool, why do you act like a young man and risk your life like this?"

At that moment, Logan couldn't hold back. He jumped out of the tent and flew straight toward the Golden Sand City.

Arthur stood there, watching Logan's back as he left. He sighed softly.

At that moment, Arthur's communication wristband buzzed with a voice of complaint:

"You shouldn't have let him go."

Arthur shook his head. "I can't stop him. Philip is very special to Logan. That old man is one of the few elders who truly care about Logan without asking for anything in return. Logan respects him a lot."

The wristband was silent for a while, then the voice came again, this time with static: "At least, you should have gone with him."

Arthur looked up at the sky and said: "Don't worry. Logan doesn't need my protection anymore. He can handle what's coming next. I just need to take care of the aftermath."

With that, Arthur said: "Remember the promise you made to the Federation. Bring the best soldiers."

"Leave it to me. They're the best young people. You just need to worry about whether Logan can control them." The static grew louder before fading away.

Arthur let out a cold snort and turned to leave the room.

At that moment, Natalia, Lucia, and Sophia—three people who should have been at the military command center—also left the base.

Arthur let out a soft sigh and opened the communication channel: "Tell Augustus that Logan and Natalia have gone to support, let him clear the way."

In the live stream.

The live stream image in front of the human strength fighters was almost frozen.

[Hayya·Bakaz] had firmly locked onto the body of the connected centipede, keeping it from moving.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Ten minutes...

Philip General sat on the ground, his eyes burning with golden soul fire, constantly strengthening his control over [Hayya·Bakaz].

"Speaking of which, I should thank Darwin that old man. If he hadn't installed the soul control module for me, I would have been stuck right now." Philip coughed a few times and laughed loudly.

"Hey, you guys watching the live stream! I've lived over a hundred years. To die on the battlefield is to die with honor! What happens next, I leave to you!"

After saying that, Philip slowly closed his eyes.

The golden light on his body began to fade gradually.

Finally, Philip General sat in a monk's posture and died.

A loud explosion rang out. Without Philip's remote control, [Hayya·Bakaz] could no longer hold back the connected centipede. It was flipped over in one move.

At that moment, the connected centipede looked at Philip's body with eyes full of hatred.

It ignored [Hayya·Bakaz] and rushed straight toward Philip's dead body.

Its huge mouth was ready to swallow this hated old human.

Suddenly, a blade of light came falling from the sky.

The blade wasn't long—only one meter.

But when it hit the connected centipede, it immediately flipped it over, sending it flying backward like a spring.

Solon landed in front of Philip General and slowly put away his sword: "Sorry, Mr. Philip. I'm late."

At that moment, Ignatius slowly walked to Philip's side and raised his hand in a salute: "Solon, at this moment, you should call him General!"

Temple high priest Magdalena folded her hands and prayed with deep devotion.

Soon, a holy light appeared in the sky, and the passage to the divine kingdom fell on Philip General. His spiritual body slowly rose, separating from his physical body.

He looked around at the familiar faces and smiled calmly: "You're all here. I'm leaving now."

Magdalena spoke slowly: "General, may you rest in peace. Your brave sacrifice has moved the gods."

Philip General looked around, his eyes finally landing on Solon: "What happens next... depends on you all."

With that, his spiritual body slowly floated into the air.

Just as he was about to enter the light gates and become a hero of the divine kingdom, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "You dare take Philip's soul? I'll burn down your Holy City tomorrow!"

The shout made the cracks in the divine kingdom's sky tremble.

The light that was guiding Philip into the divine kingdom dimmed. His spiritual body hung in mid-air, neither rising nor falling, in an awkward position.

Logan slowly floated in front of Philip's spiritual body, unable to say a word for a long time.

Philip sighed: "I'm dead. I always have to leave. Going to the divine kingdom is better than going to hell, isn't it?"

Logan shook his head hard: "The divine kingdom is just a stupid god's familiar space. Once you go in, you'll be controlled by that stupid god. That's not rebirth—it's eternal suffering."

Philip smiled: "Child, at least then I can see you again, right?"

Logan took a deep breath and said, "General, believe me. I can take you out of the Underworld and give you true freedom."

Without waiting for Philip General to answer, Logan reached out and pulled Philip's spiritual body into his familiar space.

Then, Logan turned to look at the gradually closing divine kingdom cracks and sneered: "Did I say you could leave?"

"What do you want now!" The god's roar echoed, clearly very angry at Logan's actions.

Logan sneered again and said, "Give me the way to make heroes."

Being openly robbed in front of everyone made the god almost lose his mind, especially since it was all happening on live stream.

The god quickly closed the divine kingdom cracks, trying to escape and pretend it never happened.

But Logan's mental voice was clear: "If you run, I'll kill my way into the Holy City tomorrow. So, are you giving it to me or not?"

The god was furious and shouted back, "Logan! You're a thief!"

Logan coldly replied: "Don't forget, I'm your divine brother. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine too!"

The divine kingdom cracks shook, clearly shocked by Logan's robber logic.

But Logan was right. At the moment, his identity was that of a divine brother. The stronger the holy power he showed, the more faith the god would gain.

After all, on the outside, they were still brothers.

So the god stopped arguing and just threw out a badge, which contained the method for making heroes, from the divine kingdom cracks.
