Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen! - Chapter 395: The Devouring Rule Advances!

Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Devouring Rule Advances!

Someone dropped their rune stone, and it clattered loudly on the ground.

“I’m not imagining this, am I? He actually succeeded on the first try?”

“Damn, I haven’t even finished my cigarette, and he’s back.”

“This kid is ruthless. No wonder they want to work with him.”

They all felt the shockwaves of the rules from the town just now. They also recognized the spy who had disguised himself as a shopkeeper.

A quasi-Demigod. Logan was gone for less than thirty minutes, yet he completely wiped him out. There was no chance of resurrection. That is power only a true Demigod-stage should have.

The master of Death Rules stepped forward. Gray-white death energy from his sleeve probed the lingering soul fragments. After a moment, he looked up, his voice filled with surprise: “The soul structure is completely shattered. Even the traces of the Underworld cycle have been erased. He is truly, dead.”

The Blind Prophet nodded. He marked the first task as complete and announced that Logan’s combat power exceeded even the peak of a quasi-Demigod. He now had the strength to briefly fight on equal footing with a Demigod.

The master of Life Rules approached Logan. Green Life Rules flowed into his body, checking the status of his Five-Helix DNA.

The previous battle had strained the cracks to a critical state—about the width of a thumb at Level 9. She immediately pulled out the three Space Rule Fragments. Each one held the pure essence of Observer No. 3’s Space Rule, perfect for fixing those cracks.

As the three Space Rule Fragments merged into Logan one by one, he clearly felt the cracks on his DNA healing by 5%.

In other words, Logan’s DNA cracks dropped from Level 9.0 to 8.1. It was still extremely urgent, but at least it was temporarily under control, giving him some room to breathe.

“What’s the next task?” Logan asked coldly for the details of the second mission.

Upon hearing this, the Blind Prophet silently unfurled his staff of prophecy. A hologram of a mining area appeared. “The next task is in the mining zone of Restricted Zone 46,” the Prophet said.

In the projection, a black rule singularity, ten meters in diameter, hovered in the center of the mining area, devouring the surrounding black volcanic rock.

Worse yet, the singularity expanded by one meter every ten minutes. It had already carved out a crater with a diameter of one hundred meters.

Seeing this, Logan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Is this a disaster caused by the rules?”

The Blind Prophet nodded, his expression grave. “This singularity is a remnant of the battle between Restricted Zones 46 and 47, three hundred years ago. It contains a mix of devouring and space rules.”

“If it isn’t handled within three days, it will tear apart the boundary of Restricted Zone 46. This could cause chaos across planes, or even lead to total collapse.”

The 72-hour countdown for the arrival of the Arbitrator had already consumed about 13 hours, leaving only 59 hours. Time was running out.

Following the coordinates marked on the staff of prophecy, Logan arrived at the abandoned mining zone of Restricted Zone 46.

The mine had long been deserted, filled with collapsed tunnels and scattered chunks of iron ore.

In the center, the black singularity hovered three meters off the ground. Gravity pulled the surrounding rocks, tearing them into powder that was endlessly sucked into the black hole.

Every ten minutes, the radius of its consumption grew by another meter.

At that moment, the Blind Prophet’s voice echoed through the prophecy mark: “Attacks from anyone below the Demigod stage will be directly devoured by the singularity, becoming its nutrients.”

“So, you currently can’t use the Destruction Rule or Space Rule to close the singularity. Your only options are to keep expending energy to continuously seal it, or try to devour the singularity yourself.”

“However, devouring the singularity is risky. Consider it well.”

Hearing this, Logan frowned silently.

Because his last intel was inaccurate, he didn’t fully trust the Blind Prophet’s words just yet.

“I have to try sealing it before I know for sure.” Logan decided to try a conventional attack first.

He activated his Space Shield with his left hand, sending golden ripples of space energy toward the singularity. The moment the energy touched the black hole’s edge, it was swallowed up without any feedback.

The Space Rule definitely had no effect!

Next, he fired a pitch-black rule arrow from his Bow of Destruction. The arrow vanished the moment it entered the black hole, and the singularity’s diameter actually expanded by ten centimeters.

The Destruction Rule was useless too!

Realizing this, Logan stopped his attack immediately. “Looks like part of the Blind Prophet’s intel this time was actually correct.”

Based on his experiment, Logan concluded that conventional attacks were not only ineffective but would actually accelerate the singularity’s expansion.

So, Logan switched his strategy. He sank his consciousness into his familiar world and summoned the projection of the Eighteen Realms to envelop the singularity.

Soon, 108-star marks behind Logan lit up. His Saint stage energy was fully unleashed. The projection of the Eighteen Realms from his familiar world appeared in real space, a massive virtual cosmos enveloping the entire rule singularity.

Logan began to try and devour the singularity, pulling it into his familiar world.

For others, trying to swallow a singularity into their familiar space was a risky gamble; one slip could cause a space collapse and cost them their lives.

But for Logan, that wasn’t an issue. His familiar world was large enough to digest the singularity slowly.

However, what Logan hadn’t expected was how incredibly slow the devouring process was.

It was painfully slow!

Since the singularity was constantly destroying the surrounding Space Rules, Logan’s process of devouring it felt as slow as a snail crawling.

Seeing this, Logan gritted his teeth. “Damn it! If I keep consuming energy like this, it’ll take a month to finish. Ancestral Spirits! Lilith! Kerparos! Join me from inside the familiar world!”

As Logan called out, all his familiars instantly appeared at the edges of the space cracks within his familiar world.

Acting on Logan’s direct orders, they began channeling the world’s source energy to repair the spatial tears and stabilize the projection’s boundary. They worked hard to prevent the black hole from devouring the structure of the familiar world.

Back in the real world,

Logan used the Devouring Rule Fragment inside him as the core, combined with golden Space Rules, to form a containment net. He forced the singularity to drag into his familiar world.

It took Logan a full hour, but eventually, he managed to swallow the singularity into his familiar world.

Inside the familiar world.

The newly swallowed singularity was placed in the empty orbit left behind after the original Eight War Domains were stripped away.

To ensure the singularity wouldn’t destroy his familiar world, Logan mobilized nearly ten percent of the world’s source energy to dampen its destructive power to a level his world could handle.

Finally, using the Creation Rule as a forge and the Devouring Rule as an engine, he reshaped the black hole singularity into a “Devouring Main Star” with a diameter of five hundred kilometers. Its surface was covered in black vortex patterns, creating a stunning spectacle.

In the starry sky of the familiar world.

The Devouring Main Star joined the original nine main stars of Extreme Cold, Magma, Darkness, and others, forming a stable system of Ten Realms.

Logan also discovered something surprising: the faith energy and world source energy that used to leak all over his familiar world were now beginning to gather around the black hole singularity.

Most of this energy had been wasted during power transmission.

Since Logan’s familiars were scattered across many planets and his familiar world was so vast, energy loss during transmission was unavoidable.

Of course, this lost energy didn’t just vanish; it scattered into every corner of the familiar world, making it hard to collect and use.

But now, with the black hole singularity absorbing it, this wasted energy finally had a circulation system.

The black hole singularity would absorb it and return it to replenish the source energy of the familiar world.

As a result, Logan’s efficiency in utilizing world power increased by another 30%.

“What a pleasant surprise,” Logan thought as he returned his consciousness to reality to check his internal state.

After the recent exertion, the cracks on his DNA had started to worsen.

However, with the acquisition of the black hole singularity, Logan felt it was well worth the cost.

Logan returned to the base hall and immediately reported the mission progress to the Blind Prophet.

Hearing Logan’s account of the mission, the Blind Prophet raised an eyebrow. “You actually managed to use the Space Rule to exile the singularity into a time-space rift? That’s unreasonable!”

Logan shrugged with a smile. “You know, I’m quite special.”

Regarding the black hole singularity, Logan didn’t admit that he had devoured it.

This was such a crucial trump card, Logan didn’t want anyone knowing he had mastered it.

Seeing Logan’s calm expression, the Blind Prophet raised his staff of prophecy and touched it to Logan’s forehead.

Golden prophecy runes scanned Logan’s status. The Blind Prophet quickly sensed that Logan’s fate line had branched out, making the singularity’s destination a mystery.

“Strange,” the Blind Prophet muttered, his brow furrowing deeper. “I can’t detect any data about the singularity. It seems to be hidden by something.”

Logan smiled inwardly. To prevent the Blind Prophet’s detection, he had already used the Time Rule to obscure his recent actions.

Now, even a True God descending to earth couldn’t deduce the connection between the black hole singularity and Logan.

Finally, the Blind Prophet sighed and gave up on digging deeper. “Forget it. Just to be safe, I will cloak this experience for you.”

Saying this, the Blind Prophet used the prophecy rules to envelop Logan, hiding the heavenly secrets and preventing the Ancient Tribunal from tracing the truth through the rules.

Immediately after, the master of Life Rules stepped forward to check Logan’s DNA. Green light probed inside, and her expression turned grave.

“The cracks have worsened to Level 9.5, approaching the limit of total disintegration.”

“However, the structure of the DNA’s sixth helix is abnormally stable. The fluctuations of the Devouring Rule have reached the source level, and it has already begun to balance with the other five Divine Rules.”

Saying this, the master of Life Rules looked at Logan and frowned. “You must learn the Rule Separation technique within seven days to repair the cracks. Otherwise, the disintegration will become irreversible, and your cultivation will be completely lost.”

The Blind Prophet nodded, then announced the content of the third mission: “The target for this mission is Hector, a renegade retired Observer. You need to kill him.”

“He possesses the Prophecy Rule, just like me, and has already killed two members of the Observer organization.”

“His physical body is currently located in the Tower of Traitors deep inside Restricted Zone 46.”
