Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen! - Chapter 391: Humans, Liches, and Restricted Zones!
Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Humans, Liches, and Restricted Zones!
Next, the Flesh Temple Lord added: “The wasteland is too thin on blood energy. We cannot build a flesh-shield barrier as a defense layer.”
After hearing their views, the Shadow Chairman sneered.
She had suggested using the Shadow Rule to build a temporary tunnel, which would help move troops between the two zones, but it couldn’t form a permanent wall.
After hearing all three reports, Logan shook his head and rejected the totem migration plan.
He would not trade his soldiers’ lives for a defensive structure. Instead, he decided to use his own 108-star World Primordial Force to directly reshape the space across a thousand li. He would build a dual-zone defense ring within 72 hours.
After settling the temple’s affairs, Logan sat back in the main seat of the hall. His consciousness linked to the Blind Prophet through the prophecy mark, then switched to the Eternal Night City frequency. In the form of a projection, he watched Moragas’s migration fleet.
In the vision, Moragas wore black obsidian armor and held a soul staff. He stood on the deck of the undead flagship, Eternal Night. Behind him stood three quasi-Demigod-stage Great Liches, all radiating a 48-star aura, along with 12 Saint stage lich floating above their ghosts warships.
The fleet was escorted by three hundred undead bone dragons with hundred-meter wingspans. They were cutting through the gray mist of the Lost World wasteland, heading toward No. 53 Restricted Zone.
Through the soul link, Moragas directly sent Logan a catalog and summary of three knowledge bases.
The first one covered the Nine Observers of the Ancient Tribunal. It recorded that The Observer No. 1 was an outsider and not a native true god of the Lost World.
The second file detailed the origin analysis of the Soul Rule. It contained the methods for drawing Demigod-stage soul protection runes, which could resist the Space Rule erosion from Observer No. 3.
The third file covered the art of constructing planetary barriers. It explained how to use the Soul Rule to anchor space structures, which was perfect for assisting Logan’s 108-star Space Rule in building the defense ring.
Seeing this, Logan nodded. “That old Lich really went all out!”
He moved quickly to meet them.
The two sides soon finalized the coordinates. The branch city of Eternal Night City would be built on the Black Rock Plateau, 300 li northwest of No. 53 Restricted Zone.
This area was a terrain gap between the two zones and a必经 point for the ancient passage. It was the perfect spot to fill the blind spot in the defense system.
72 hours later, Moragas’s fleet arrived at the Black Rock Plateau on schedule. They immediately began setting up the defense formation for Eternal Night City.
Logan stood at the midpoint between No. 53 Restricted Zone and the Black Rock Plateau. He raised the Staff of Creation and the Space Shield, officially starting the construction of the defense ring.
He used the comatose Kane as a rule anchor, drawing on the scattered Destruction Rule energy from his body to serve as the core of the barrier.
Since he was only tapping into scattered primordial energy, this would not affect Kane’s recovery.
Moragas stood to Logan’s left, plunging his soul staff into the ground to release his 48-star Soul Rule and anchor the space structure.
To Logan’s right, Violet drove the Horn of the First Sky-Breaker into the rocky ground. She released the totem divine power of her royal bloodline to stabilize the geology.
Inside Logan, his 108-star World Primordial Force surged. The five-colored light of his pentad DNA flared brightly, while his Space Rule spread out like golden threads across a thousand li.
The entire process took six hours. From the black volcanic rock ground, a pale gold and silver-gray curtain of light rose up, forming a rule-based barrier with a diameter of 1,000 li.
When the construction ended, the cracks on the surface of Logan’s pentad DNA widened from pencil-thick to thumb-thick. His primordial energy was depleted by nearly 10%, and his combat power temporarily dropped to 90 stars. He would need three days of rest to recover to his 108-star peak.
Once the defense ring was built, Logan ordered immediate tests.
Violet sent a scout from the Ancient Beast Clan to cross the barrier. It passed through in just 3 seconds.
Moragas sent a ghost to attempt penetration, which also passed through smoothly after 5 seconds.
Logan simulated an attack using Observer No. 3’s space chains. The barrier immediately sounded a harsh alarm, blocking most of the impact. The remaining weak shockwaves were completely absorbed by Violet’s totem divine power.
Afterward, Logan announced that the dual-zone defense ring was officially complete and could be maintained for 20 years.
During this period, humans would not fight as the main force. Instead, No. 53 Restricted Zone and Eternal Night City would handle external defense, while humans would focus quietly on development in the rear.
Moragas had no objections to this arrangement.
Having lived for so long, he knew the strength of humans.
Apart from Logan, humans almost couldn’t muster any real combat power.
It was better to have humans support them with supplies from the rear rather than using them as cannon fodder.
In return, Logan could use this time to spread high-level cultivation methods and technology from the Lost World to the humans.
“By the time 20 years are up, humans will be completely unrecognizable,” Logan said. He then sat cross-legged to meditate, preparing to spend three days recovering his strength.
Meanwhile, Violet followed Logan’s previous orders and led a team to inventory all of Iron-Bone’s remaining items.
In the underground secret room of Iron-Bone’s residence, she found a black obsidian box.
Inside lay a torn page from a half-parchment contract, faintly bearing the Mark of Truth from The Observer No. 1.
Frowning slightly, Violet decided to show it to Logan once he was free.
Logan meditated for three days. The cycle of five-colored light around his body stabilized as he recovered.
During these three days, he had almost absorbed all the Divine Rule Fragments collected from the previous battle.
Now, he stood up to check his internal status.
The cracks on the surface of Logan’s pentad DNA had shrunk back from thumb-width to pencil-width. His aura had risen from 90 stars to his peak of 108 stars.
Logan then summoned all his core subordinates to the Halls Master hall. Two holographic projections were simultaneously connected into the room.
One showed Pinocchini’s Hiyua, standing in the command room of Dawn City, wearing the Latio family uniform with piles of resource dispatch reports beside her.
The other was Moragas from Eternal Night City, who had already completed his initial deployment.
Violet walked into the hall holding a black obsidian box. She placed it on the table and opened it.
Inside was a complete parchment scroll contract, engraved with golden Truth Messenger runes.
Violet pressed her fingertips against the contract. Golden royal blood energy seeped into the parchment.
The text on the scroll slowly lit up, clearly revealing the transaction details.
Iron-Bone offered 30% of Kane’s Destruction Rule origin as a sacrifice in exchange for the secret support of three Demigod-stage vanguard forces from No. 47 Restricted Zone.
The Truth Messenger seal at the signature and the rule fluctuation of The Observer No. 1 matched perfectly.
Logan picked up the contract and showed it to everyone in the hall. His voice was cold: “The Observer No. 1 from the highest level of the Ancient Tribunal has intervened directly. The current situation is no longer just a local war.”
He immediately announced his decision to split the forces: “Violet will remain in No. 53 Restricted Zone as the acting commander, leading the Sky-Splitting Tribe, the remnants of the Bloodline Temple, the Abyss Walkers legion, and the Eternal Night City allies.”
“The dual-zone defense ring is now complete. It can withstand attacks from ordinary Demigod-stage enemies.”
“Nel, Bobbi, and Taliban will lead the Pinocchini reinforcements back to Pinocchini. Assist Hiyua in integrating the resource channels between Pinocchini and No. 53 Restricted Zone and establish a mid-tier combat power production line.”
Hiyua’s projection bowed slightly, her golden short hair falling neatly over her shoulders as she accepted the order with a serious tone: “Dawn City has prepared the resource docking ports. We will complete the dispatch of the first batch of crystals and spirit herbs within 72 hours.”
Logan nodded and continued: “Natalia, Sophia, and Lucia will lead Fischl, Evelynna, Yelena, Sawako, Jessica, and Gwen back to the human Federation. Carry the 36-star full-breakthrough technique and the complete gene lock system. Establish a Supervisory Council inheritance system to mass-produce Saint stage combat power.”
Hearing this, Nel felt a ripple in her aura and stepped forward to question: “Why not leave the 108-star familiar legion to protect you? You staying alone in No. 46 Restricted Zone is too dangerous.”
Logan shook his head and explained: “Going to No. 46 Restricted Zone to study Battle Style requires traveling light. A large group would only increase your energy signature, making you an easier target for the Ancient Tribunal to locate, which would be even more dangerous.”
Everyone in the hall fell silent, raising no further objections before preparing to depart.
Logan led his group to the entrance of the ancient passage. Nel, Bobbi, Taliban, and the other Pinocchini members were already ready.
Logan placed his hand on Nel’s shoulder to check her energy flow, confirming that his 12 physical avatars were in perfect condition and could support the long journey.
He took five fist-sized Devouring Rule Divine Shards from his storage space and handed them to Taliban.
These shards were left behind by the Origin Devourer and contained super-Demigod-stage rule energy.
“Take these shards back to Pinocchini, establish a Transcendents training camp, and use the shards to create immunity runes to train more Saints above 28 stars.”
Taliban took the shards with both hands. Black Devouring Rule patterns spread along his arms.
He knelt on one knee and promised to establish the production line within three months to meet the training quotas.
Logan turned to Bobbi and warned: “The hunting squad from No. 32 Restricted Zone might track the ancient passage using the Space Rule. You must set up three layers of early-warning traps at the entrance.”
Bobbi nodded, her aura suddenly flaring.
She quickly formed hand seals, setting up three layers of Phase Folding traps at the passage entrance. Transparent space cages nested within each other. Any being below Demigod-stage attempting to force their way through would be trapped for 2 seconds, long enough to sound an alarm.
Logan watched the Pinocchini team enter the passage. Turning around, he led his “harem” to the Dawn City teleportation array.
Natalia’s 32-star pressure instinctively flared. The black threads of the Heaven and Earth Net domain wrapped around Logan’s wrist. Her face was filled with worry.
“You’re staying alone deep in the Lost World. What if you encounter danger?”
Logan raised his hand, displaying the Blade of Time, and comforted her: “I still have 5 uses of Time Anchor remaining. This includes 2 original rewind permissions and 3 Save Point setup permissions. That is enough to save my life.”
“You must depart within 24 hours. Bring the technology and knowledge back to the humans as quickly as possible to avoid being tracked by the Ancient Tribunal.”
