Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Even with Heavy Wounds, Speak with a Hard Edge!
On the other side, inside the Dawn City command center.
The light-blue data screens were flashing wildly.
Dense monitoring data was refreshing at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch.
Hiyua stood in the center of the screens, her right hand tightly gripping her metal clipboard.
Her eyes never wavered from the real-time feed of the aerial battle, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst from her chest.
The moment Logan activated Time Freeze, cutting off the link between Kane and the dimensional gate, every electronic device in the command center froze for exactly three seconds.
The time flow monitor’s needle spun wildly, smashing straight through its historical peak.
Loud equipment failure alarms screamed through the entire command center.
“Brother is freezing time,” Hiyua whispered, her pupils shrinking as her voice shook uncontrollably.
Violet’s mind voice instantly synced into the command center’s communication channel.
Her voice trembled with barely hidden anxiety. “Master is fighting a Demigod head-on. The energy drain is massive.”
Natalia stood right next to Hiyua.
Her Saint-stage Mental Power exploded outward. In an instant, her Web Domain expanded, covering the entire command center.
“Using Time Freeze to hold a Demigod that big for ten seconds is taking a huge toll on him,” Natalia said.
Turing’s data projection hovered in the center of the screens.
The pale blue data streams were refreshing so fast they blurred into ghostly shapes.
Even his usual calm, mechanical tone carried a hint of worry.
“Kane’s energy signature is still above the Demigod-stage threshold.”
“Logan’s five-spiral DNA is showing slight instability.”
The moment Kane stepped back into the dimensional portal, everyone in the command center finally let out a sigh of relief.
Hiyua dropped her clipboard, clattering it to the floor.
She didn’t bother to pick it up. Turning on her heel, she sprinted out of the command center.
With her 22-star Legend-stage speed maxed out, she frantically climbed up the main trunk of the World Tree.
At the top platform of the World Tree…
Logan watched Kane vanish completely into the rift. The tension in his long-held body finally snapped.
His legs gave out, and he dropped to one knee on the cold wooden floor.
A mouthful of blood erupted from his lips, splattering onto the platform in front of him.
Blood slowly trickled from all his orifices.
Warm blood ran down his cheeks, dripping onto his black combat suit and staining it in dark patches.
The moment Hiyua reached the platform, she saw the sight.
Her eyes turned red. She rushed forward, gripping Logan’s right arm tightly. “Brother, are you okay?”
Hiyua choked back sobs, and tears finally spilled down her cheeks.
Logan lifted his head, trying to speak. “Cough… cough…”
But no sooner had he opened his mouth than he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
His vision was blurring, and his five-spiral DNA was screaming with a tearing pain.
Just then, Natalia and Gwen also arrived on the platform. Natalia’s Mental Power instantly probed Logan’s body for a full scan.
Seconds later, her face went pale. “Damn it, his DNA is almost snapping.”
“He needs to meditate and repair immediately. If we wait any longer, there’s a risk his five-spiral structure will collapse.”
Hearing this, Gwen immediately pulled the plug from a test tube and held the latest Mind Stabilizer to Logan’s lips.
Her hands were shaking so badly that the glass of the tube was clinking gently. “Logan, drink this fast. It’ll stabilize your Mental Power.”
Logan opened his mouth slightly and downed the potion.
Warm, gentle power spread from his throat to his limbs, finally stabilizing the chaotic energy inside him.
Nearby, Violet arrived as well.
She and Logan were connected by their thoughts, so she had sensed his condition long ago.
She began pouring a steady stream of stable Mental Power into him through their soul contract.
At the same time, she reached into Logan’s Soul Sea and summoned his Ancestral Spirits and Familiars: Lilith and Kerparos.
The Familiars helped Logan suppress the three restless Demigod consciousnesses swirling in his Soul Sea, keeping them from causing trouble.
After a long while, Logan finally regained some strength.
He reached out and gripped Hiyua’s shoulders. His voice was hoarse, barely audible.
“We have seven days, Kane gave us seven days.”
“After seven days, he will definitely be back.”
“We must make the most of these seven days. No time to waste.”
As Logan spoke, a cold mental voice exploded inside his soul sea. The Master behind that voice was Kane, who had just retreated into the rift.
“Seven days later, if you can still survive in my hands, I might grant you a way out!”
Kane’s cold mental voice echoed in Logan’s mind for a long time.
Logan instantly stabilized his shaky form.
He shoved Hiyua’s hand away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips.
At the same time, Logan’s pressure from his 80-star Legend stage spread out silently again.
Five colors of rule-glowing light circled around him, forming a solid defensive halo.
He stepped into the air and flew toward the dimensional channel.
Standing on the edge of the World Tree’s top platform, he faced the Kane inside the rift from a distance.
Hundreds of meters of empty space separated them, along with the massive chasm between Legend and Demigod.
But Logan’s eyes held zero fear. “If you lose in seven days, I might not even kill you.”
Logan responded coldly. His voice cut through the space cracks, clear and loud in Kane’s ears.
He slowly raised his right hand. The golden space gene chain condensed in his palm, transforming into a transparent blade. He slashed viciously at the void.
A thousand-meter-long silver rift suddenly appeared right in front of the dimensional channel exit.
Sharp Space Power completely severed the energy flow inside and outside the channel.
One-way closed space barriers stacked layer upon layer, like countless transparent shields, locking the channel exit tight.
Logan showed his strength in the most direct way: he could cut off Kane’s escape route at any moment.
On the other side of the space channel, Kane’s pupils shrank sharply.
His mental scan swept over the spatial barrier, clearly sensing the ten-thousand-fold space amplification power hidden within.
Even for him, breaking through this seal would take at least three breaths.
And in three breaths, Logan could trigger Time Freeze three times, landing three fatal attacks.
Both parties’ Spiritual clashed silently high in the sky.
Kane’s Spiritual dove into Logan’s Soul Sea again, searching for a flaw in the five Divine Rules.
But the moment he got close, he was forcefully knocked back by the combined pressure from the three Demigod consciousnesses.
Yepera’s chain of creation churned in Logan’s mind sea.
The Black Dragon’s Draconic Destruction Breath roared deep within the array’s nexus.
Nyarlathotep’s Soul Impact waves swept the entire path of the mental invasion instantly.
Kane clearly perceived that these three Demigod consciousnesses were now deeply bound to Logan’s five-spiral DNA.
If Logan died, the divinity of all three Demigods would instantly Self-Destruct.
In that case, a thousand-square-mile radius would be flattened to the ground. Even if Kane survived, he would suffer irreversible heavy damage.
At the same time, Logan was constantly reading Kane’s information during their mental clash.
Violet’s intelligence kept flowing into his mind sea through their soul contract.
Three years ago, during that deadly battle with the Devourer, Kane not only had his Destruction Rule partially devoured.
His own primordial soul had also suffered irreversible damage.
Now, every time Kane used his full power, he would drain one percent of his lifespan.
Hearing this news, a cold smile formed on Logan’s lips.
Then, he sent a mental message to Kane: “Every move you make now costs you your lifespan.”
“Even if you kill me in seven days, the Devourer will exploit the opening.”
“You should be able to calculate whether this is a profit or a loss.”
The golden chains surrounding Kane vibrated violently instantly.
He couldn’t believe that this human boy had discovered his biggest secret so clearly.
In his grey eyes, fear and killing intent were intertwined.
In the end, the fear won out.
“I will cut you down in seven days,” Kane declared, his mental voice rolling like thunder across the sky above Dawn City.
“In seven days, only fate will tell who dies,” Logan replied, a trickle of blood on his lips but a calm smile on his face.
Facing Kane, Logan stood straight as a rod, showing zero weakness.
Kane gave him one last deep look, then finally turned and retreated into the depths of the channel.
At that moment, the main army of the No. 53 Forbidden Zone waited on the other side of the channel. Yet, seeing Kane retreat, not a single soldier dared to cross the line Logan had drawn between them and Kane.
Inside Logan’s familiar space, Lilith folded her twelve pitch-black wings.
She remained ready in an *Enslave Mind* stance, prepared to strike at any moment.
Only when Kane’s presence vanished completely into the channel’s depths did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Through a mind link, Lilith sent a message to Logan: “Master, that Demigod has retreated, but his killing intent hasn’t faded.”
In the corner of the familiar space, the three Pro-Demigods—Sky-Shattering Chieftain, Flesh Temple Lord, and Shadow Chairman—knelt on one knee, trembling violently.
Just the sweep of that Demigod-stage pressure had shaken their souls, even from across the familiar space barrier.
They had lived for over a thousand years, yet never once seen someone at the Legend stage force a Demigod to step back.
Logan withdrew his gaze. The five-colored light surrounding him slowly faded back into his body.
The standoff with Kane had looked calm and collected, but it had actually drained every ounce of his strength.
The moment his feet touched the platform at the top of the World Tree, his legs gave out again. He dropped to one knee, slamming down onto the cold wooden floor.
Hiyua had been guarding the edge of the platform. Seeing this, she rushed forward immediately.
She caught Logan’s right arm with one hand and wrapped her left arm around his waist.
