Ancient battlefield ruins, the core area.

A mountain made of countless bones, stretching a kilometer high, floated in the air. Below it was an endless abyss.

Fiorentina took a deep breath and looked down at the abyss. Beside her, Clemens looked serious and asked again.

"Are you really going down?"

"The Indestructible Armor is inside the mountain of bones above. Are you giving up?"

Fiorentina smiled lightly. "That's perfect. You've lost one competitor. Siegmund and Astraea are gone. The Indestructible Armor is yours."

"Of course, as long as you can beat that hidden human genius."

Clemens took a deep breath and instinctively touched his chest. If he used his last secret weapon, he could bring a high-level Source from the Envious Royal Clan to fight. That human genius wouldn't be a problem.

Fiorentina slowly flew into the abyss. She wasn't really giving up. She was looking for Astraea.

Meanwhile, Clemens flew straight toward the bone mountain, filled with strong killing intent.

Soon, Johnnie arrived with Sunny, other Celestial Clan talents, and Seth.

They looked up and saw Clemens in the air.

The bone mountain was surrounded by thick killing intent, and the space around it turned red. Clemens didn't notice Johnnie's arrival.

Johnnie saw Clemens alone and immediately frowned.

"Did something go wrong? Where's Fiorentina?"

In Johnnie's mind, Fiorentina should have been working with Clemens by now. But only Clemens was here.

At that moment, more figures appeared in the distance.

It was Douglas, Aiden, and Cameron.

When they saw Johnnie, they clearly froze for a moment.

"Wait! Don't fight yet! Johnnie, you should know what happens if the Ancient Battlefield is taken by Star Raider, right?" Aiden shouted immediately.

He had nearly been shocked by Johnnie's battle with Siegmund.

When had Johnnie become so strong? If it wasn't for Douglas's escape item, the Celestial Mirror, he and Cameron might have already died back there.

Now, seeing Johnnie again, Aiden felt scared. He thought even with Douglas and Cameron by his side, they still couldn't beat Johnnie.

As for running away?

He wouldn't do it unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, the Rex Flag was right here. If he ran, he'd lose the flag. Without it, he and Cameron couldn't use Soul Transference. They'd have to wait until their lives ended—just to die.

Douglas took a deep breath. He needed the Rex Flag to escape the threat of Saint Soul Transference.

So, Aiden, Cameron, and Douglas didn't run away right away.

Johnnie quietly looked back at Seth. Seth nodded, showing he was ready.

Because of the Celestial Mirror, Johnnie had missed many chances to kill Douglas. Now, he had to make sure Douglas couldn't use it.

Johnnie suddenly smiled and said slowly.

"You're right. Star Raider is the real enemy. I agree with that."

"But what you did, in my eyes, is no different from what Star Raider is doing."

"Douglas, you probably don't know that, with my help, Terra Lady has become a Saint."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of Douglas, Aiden, and Cameron showed total disbelief.

Especially Douglas. His eyes widened, and he suddenly understood.

"Ah, that's why you never worried about Saint Soul Transference!"

"Terra Lady can help you avoid Saint Soul Transference! That's for sure!"

Aiden and Cameron looked at each other and didn't hesitate. Aiden immediately said to Douglas.

"Don't believe him! There are no Saints left in the world. Only we can help you escape Heaven's chosen!"

Johnnie smiled. Even now, Aiden was still trying to trick Douglas.

He waved his hand, and the Soul-Nurturing Banner appeared.

"This is Terra Lady's artifact, the Soul-Nurturing Banner. If you don't believe me, come take a look."

Douglas looked confused. He took a step toward Johnnie.

But the next moment, Aiden and Cameron's eyes turned cold. Without hesitation, they attacked Douglas from behind!

Douglas didn't see the danger. He was hit and flew backward.

His chest caved in, and he tried to pull out the Celestial Mirror to escape.

But before the mirror could activate, an invisible arrow shot out and broke his arm.

Clang!

The Celestial Mirror fell to the ground.

Aiden quickly flew over to grab it.

But a figure suddenly appeared next to the mirror.

It was Johnnie!

He had been waiting for this moment. Aiden and Cameron had betrayed Douglas, and they were ruthless.

"Good, you can't run this time!"

"Die!" Johnnie's eyes were filled with killing intent.

For Aiden and Cameron, death was the best punishment!

Suddenly, the Sword Realm formed and covered Aiden and Cameron.

Thousands of flying swords appeared, making a buzzing sound. The strong Sword Aura and killing intent made Aiden's body shake uncontrollably.

He gritted his teeth and said."Johnnie, we always wanted to help you. Even if Terra Lady became a Saint, she might not be able to save you from Soul Transference!"

"We can! Really, we..."

Aiden didn't finish his words. A bright Fire Sword, full of power, shot straight into his chest.

Flames burned wildly, melting his flesh.

His eyes widened in fear. He tried to fly toward Johnnie with all his strength.

But in the next moment, Johnnie vanished. He reappeared behind Cameron, who was trying to run away.

The Darkness Sword swallowed the light around it—and Cameron's hope.

When he saw Aiden couldn't fight back, he left him behind. After all, no one wanted to die.

But when Johnnie suddenly appeared in front of him, Cameron realized he had underestimated Johnnie's power.

Thud!

Cameron fell to his knees, begging."I'm sorry, I really am! It was all Aiden's idea! He wanted to use the Rex Flag and Soul Transference on you!"

"He killed so many innocent kids! It was all him!"

"I helped him, but I can make it up! I can fix it! I really can!"

Cameron shook all over. Johnnie remembered the bones of the children he had seen. Before they died, did they beg Aiden and Cameron like this too?

Johnnie didn't hesitate. He quickly raised the Darkness Sword.

Swish!

A flash of light—Cameron's head rolled to the ground, full of fear and panic.

A moment later, Cameron's Divine Soul flew out of his body, rushing away in a panic.

But in the next second, a strong force appeared, trapping his Divine Soul completely.

"No! No! I really know I was wrong! Give me another chance! I can make it up! Johnnie, I'll be your servant!"

"Please, just let me live!" Cameron's Divine Soul screamed wildly.

Johnnie showed no emotion. He controlled the Demon-Refining Pot and pulled Cameron's Divine Soul in.

As for Aiden, he was still staring in shock.

The Fire Sword was still burning fiercely in his chest. The pain of his body melting made his face twist in agony.

Aiden shouted with hatred: "Johnnie, do you think you've won?"

"The Star Raiders will kill you! The world will be taken over!"

"You can't change anything!"

"You'll die. You'll die worse than me!"

Johnnie shook his head lightly. He said coldly."Is that all? Boring."

He pulled Aiden's Divine Soul into the Demon-Refining Pot as well.

Now only Douglas was left, trying to pick up the Celestial Mirror.

But in the Sword Realm, Johnnie was the master.

He thought about it, and the Celestial Mirror appeared in front of him.

Douglas slowly looked up, his face full of despair. He forced a smile.

"Johnnie, I can give you everything the Doe Family has—everything, including the Celestial Mirror!"

"Aiden and Cameron did bad things. They deserved to die!"

"Johnnie..."

Douglas didn't finish his words. Dozens of flying swords pierced his body.

"You had your chance before. When you helped Aiden and Cameron escape in the real world, you were choosing death." Johnnie said coldly.

He knew what Aiden and Cameron had done, but still helped them.

That was unforgivable in Johnnie's eyes.

Douglas looked at Johnnie with no strength left. His eyes were full of regret. He wished he had supported Johnnie from the start.

Douglas wasn't a Divine Power user, so he didn't have a Divine Soul. As his heart stopped, he was dead.

Johnnie sighed softly. Douglas, Aiden, and Cameron were all dead. Now it was time to stop Clemens.

He slowly looked up, watching Clemens still flying slowly toward the White Bone Mountain in the sky.

"Time for you now." Johnnie said quietly.
