A few minutes later.
Logan Howlett returned, appearing once more before Karl and the others.
However, this time, his face clearly showed a newfound confidence.
It seemed he had made a new discovery!
"Mr. Merks, I can now almost certainly confirm that the killer who slaughtered those 15 human guards in that secret room is a 'Demigod' emanating a strong aura of death…"
"Ah, my apologies, but at the moment, besides the word 'Demigod,' I truly don't know how else to describe that fellow!!"
After regaining his Bug-level sense of smell.
Logan Howlett returned to the underground secret room and effortlessly 'sniffed out' the entire sequence of events.
However.
What puzzled him, even perplexed him, was that.
He not only detected the 'scent' of a human in the Invader's lingering odor but also some ancient auras far more powerful than humans.
Logan Howlett was almost certain that it was absolutely not a 'scent' that humans could possess!
This couldn't help but remind him of an encounter more than two years ago when he was driving through New Mexico and met that big fool on the road... Ah, no, he heard that idiot was later known as Thor?!
But whether he met Thor at that time wasn't actually important.
What was important was that he detected a scent on the Invader that was extremely similar to that of the former.
But clearly, the ancient and powerful aura on Thor was purer!
Moreover, this Invader seemed to be able to use some kind of magic or superpower to summon a group of 'monsters' radiating a decaying aura to help her in combat.
And these 'monsters' neither bled nor died, and Logan Howlett had never encountered similar creatures before, so he couldn't guess what they were at the moment.
However, one thing was certain: those heavily armed guards were all torn to shreds by these 'monsters'.
So, what do you call a creature that is both like a human and like a 'God'?
In the end, Logan Howlett could only use 'Demigod' to refer to that Invader for now!
"But what's even more interesting is that the other surviving human female didn't participate in the battle at all, and clearly wasn't subjected to any coercion... In fact, she and that Invader left together."
As he spoke, Logan Howlett gently sniffed in a certain direction, following some scents.
Soon, from the complex and chaotic myriad of scents in the air, he successfully filtered out the almost vanishingly faint scent pheromones left by that human female.
Because these special scents secreted from the human body have extremely stable chemical compositions.
So even after leaving the human source, they can still exist independently in the air for a long time.
However, with an ordinary person's sense of smell, it is simply impossible to detect the presence of these scents.
But for Logan Howlett, who possesses Bug-level olfactory abilities.
Unless special severe weather is encountered during this period, as long as there is even a tiny bit of scent molecules remaining in the air or on objects the target has touched, he can accurately capture them.
Nice!!!
After hearing Logan Howlett's report, the smile on Karl's face grew even wider.
Next, there was no need to waste time and effort trying to identify who the survivor was!
The answer was already obvious.
There was an internal traitor among the guards protecting the thirty silver coins, and this person was the last survivor, and her true identity was... Sister Grady!!
Because, as the person in charge of guarding the sin silver, she was the only female in this monastery.
But for Karl, as long as someone was still alive, this matter would be much easier to handle!
Next, he only needed to find Sister Grady, and then the whereabouts of the thirty silver coins and the true culprit's intentions would all be revealed.
Especially since this murder case even involved a 'Demigod'!
Things suddenly seemed to be getting interesting, didn't they?
"Mr. Merks…"
Bishop Warren McCoy looked anxious and wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Karl's wave of a hand. Then Karl looked at Logan Howlett and asked:
"Can you track her down by scent?"
Although Wolverine's sense of smell was incredible, more than a month had passed, so Karl actually didn't hold out much hope for it.
At the moment, it was just a habitual casual question!
After all... what if it worked?
But who would have thought, a hint of eagerness flashed in Logan Howlett's eyes, and he said seriously:
"Mr. Merks, although I'm not entirely confident, if possible... I'd like to try!!"
Karl looked at the other party with some surprise, then nodded readily, "Okay, then the task of finding Sister Grady will be entirely entrusted to you and Frank."
...
...
Texas.
Houston.
A dark, unlit street.
Creak—
A door opened, and an old woman with short silver hair and a black cloak cautiously poked her upper body out, first looking left and right.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, she stepped out.
Then she walked directly towards the brightly lit main street in the distance without stopping.
However.
Just as she passed a crossroads, two blinding bright lights suddenly appeared from the side.
Immediately after, two tall figures in police uniforms, wearing badges on their left chests, blocked her path.
"Sister Grady, is there anything we can help you with?"
"Move aside, you two have the wrong person!"
Sister Grady stopped, her expression somewhat uncertain as she looked at the two police officers who had suddenly blocked her path.
"Hehehe, that's right, you're exactly who we're looking for."
One of the police officers approached continuously, grinning wickedly, "Mr. Necrodamus would like to invite you, Sister, to catch up... How about it, care to grace us with your presence?"
"So it's that heartless Black Wizard!!"
A look of resentment flashed in Sister Grady's eyes, and she said indignantly, "I didn't expect this bastard to not only use those magical creatures to hunt me down, but now he's even bribed police officers?"
"I really shouldn't have believed his sweet-talking nonsense and used those 'sin silver' to exchange for... Hmm?"
Sister Grady seemed to suddenly notice something, sniffing sharply at the air, then said with disgust:
"Damn it, you're not police officers at all... you're not even human!"
"Even if you can perfectly disguise yourselves by devouring humans, the suffocating stench of sulfur on you can't be hidden no matter what!"
"I never thought that besides that obedient jackal 'Demigod' under Necrodamus, he would also collude with filthy demons?"
"Hmph, less talk!" One of the demons disguised as a police officer pulled out a pistol from his waist and threatened with a sneer:
"Sister Grady, if you don't cooperate obediently, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Impolite? You vile demons, how dare you threaten me, an Angel's agent?"
Compared to the troublesome magical creatures summoned by Necrodamus using Black Magic, Sister Grady clearly preferred facing demons.
Because the power she possessed could be said to be the bane of all demons!
Sister Grady clasped her hands together in front of her, and then a holy power filled her entire body, swiftly forming a pair of pure White light wings behind her.
Clearly, this was a blessing of power from Heaven!
The demon police officer opposite, seeing this, showed no fear; instead, a cunning, evil smile appeared on his face, indicating his scheme had succeeded.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look what we've found? A pure Angel's agent... Bang!!"
As the words sounded, he had already pulled the trigger, and a specially made silver bullet directly pierced Sister Grady's abdomen, blood gushing from the wound.
But what was truly incredible was that.
Almost the instant Sister Grady was hit by the bullet, the 'Angel's Power' that had originally filled her entire body was strangely dispelled by some powerful and evil force?!
No matter how much she tried to summon that power and the Angel who had blessed her with it afterward, she received no response whatsoever.
It was as if... she had been completely abandoned by Heaven and the Angels?
"What's going on? You... what exactly did you do? Why can't I feel the power blessing from the Angel at all?"
At this moment, Sister Grady's face was filled with horror; the fear of losing her power even forcibly overshadowed her pain receptors, causing her to temporarily 'forget' the intense pain coming from her abdomen.
Sister Grady quickly turned her head to look behind her, only to find that the pair of light wings, symbolizing 'Angel's Power,' had already vanished, and she was immediately overcome with grief, wailing:
"No... Merciful Archangel, please don't abandon me!!"
"Hey hey hey, did you see that?"
The demon police officer who had fired the shot turned to his companion behind him and cheered with delight:
"This bullet can really drive away those winged bird-people and their blessed powers!!"
"That's right, but it seems to be more than just expulsion..."
The other demon police officer nodded repeatedly, also saying with a joyful expression, "It looks like Necrodamus's plan really worked. I really want to report this good news to Bu... Ahem, My Lord, right away."
"Wait a minute, are you saying..."
Sister Grady, already sprawled in a pool of blood, heard the words of the two demon police officers, and a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through her mind, her voice trembling as she spoke:
"That bastard Necrodamus, he wouldn't be trying to use those thirty silver coins to create bullets specifically for fighting Angels, would he?"
"Hehehe..."
The demon police officer who had fired the shot before advanced with a sinister grin, stepping on the wound in Sister Grady's abdomen, twisting his shoe back and forth.
Seeing the look of extreme pain on her face, he slowly leaned down and said:
"Sister, didn't anyone tell you that sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing... it can cost you your life!"
At this moment, the other demon police officer's urging voice came from behind, "Quickly kill her, then retrieve that silver bullet."
"Since it has now been confirmed that this experimental silver bullet works, then for safety's sake, everyone who has seen or touched the silver coins must be silenced."
"We're going to be busy now..."
"You're right."
The demon police officer holding the gun immediately aimed it at Sister Grady's head.
But just as he was about to pull the trigger, a short knife burning with red Fire streaked through the darkness like a meteor.
The next second, Frank's slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind the demon police officer.
"This woman has been temporarily requisitioned by our Hyperspace Group. No one can kill her until I get the answer I want."
???
The demon police officer holding the gun was startled, but when he turned to look behind him, his head had already slammed heavily to the ground the moment he made a move.
Then his head and body were swallowed by a rising red Fire.

"Hmm?"
The other demon police officer froze for a moment, then reacted, roaring hysterically, "Damn human, what the hell did you do... Roscoe's soul is gone?"
Puff puff—
At this moment, a figure as agile as a leopard suddenly darted out of the darkness, and six sharp Adamantium Claws directly pierced the demon police officer's heart.
But the next second, the demon police officer's body suddenly swelled and grew, transforming in the blink of an eye into a ferocious demon over 3 meters tall with ram horns on its head.
"WTF?"
Logan Howlett rolled on the ground, dodging the demon's claws aimed at his head, exclaiming in disbelief:
"Demons are actually... real?"
But on second thought, since even the legendary God-King Odin and Thor had appeared before, it seemed plausible that demons also existed in this World!
Bang—
A bullet imbued with Khorne's psychic energy instantly blew off most of the horned demon's head, and its body was subsequently engulfed by red Fire.

"Logan, you don't need to care whether this trash is a demon or some other legendary magical creature."
Frank re-holstered his Beretta M92F pistol, from which a wisp of smoke was still rising, and said with a casual smile:
"Because as long as you can get Boss's power blessing, even if God comes, you can still kill them... I personally slaughtered a piece of trash who liked to call himself 'Blood God' before!!"
"Ah?"
Logan Howlett stared blankly at Frank, then at the two demon corpses that were almost completely incinerated by the red Fire, his turbulent emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
To be honest, even though he was battle-hardened and a famous "Mr. Big Scene" in the X-Men, that scene just now still nearly overturned his Worldview!
Although he had seen Frank's moves in the combat video about Greenwich that circulated online before... it was basically like cutting melons and vegetables, incredibly fierce!
But that was against aliens, after all.
Yet now, Frank had killed a real demon, and it was an instant kill!
No, since when could humans easily slay demon creatures?
And what about the "power blessing" Frank just mentioned?
Why could receiving Mr. Karl's blessing kill demons and... Gods?
For a moment, many questions surged in Logan Howlett's mind.
But he didn't doubt for a moment that Frank was exaggerating.
Because no explanation was needed; the scene of the other party instantly killing two demons just now was the best proof! !
