Chapter 1544: That Eye

As the words fell, the giant face suddenly froze.

He froze not because of the Annihilator Overlord's demand, but because he was shocked by these Alien Species before him.

Such a strong smell of blood..

In the giant face's eyes, the Alien Species flying in now were clearly strengthened.

Within their bodies mixed with a power unique to the Annihilator, the leading soldiers were even directly controlled by the Annihilator.

This aura!!?

Such a practice..

"You let the Alien Species eat themselves!?"

"What on earth are you doing!? What's going on with Lin An!? Annihilator Overlord! Are you crazy!?"

The giant face was greatly alarmed in his heart.

The Annihilator's practice undoubtedly exceeded his comprehension.

If the goal was to kill Lin An, wouldn't it have been better to act personally?

Delaying action, instead letting his subordinates, the Alien Species, devour his own flesh?

Such a practice of abandoning the root for the branches is simply incomprehensible!

Unlike the fugitives' doubtful expressions, the Annihilator Overlord stared coldly and spoke seriously:

"Having come this far, I have nothing left to hide."

"I'll tell you the truth!"

"The gate has been destroyed; the Sovereigns will have a hard time coming over in a short time."

"You should be clear that I am not an Alien Species, and the restrictions I face here are even greater than yours."

While speaking, the Alien Species controlled by high-level Annihilation slowly raised its arm, a black Annihilator Power instantly flickered.

"I've been noticed by the system, I can't exert my strength! So I can only cooperate with you in this way!"

"You haven't been constantly doubting why I don't act!?"

He gave a cold laugh; as he said this, the Annihilator Overlord's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and unwillingness:

"Because of your stupidity! We've already missed the best chance to kill Lin An! You ask why I'm doing this? Besides this, what else can I do!?"

"If I don't act now, you'll still suspect me! You'll still waste time!"

"I've told you before, Lin An can absorb Term: Faith Power! He can rely on Term: Faith Power to convert the stolen energy!"

"Don't you feel the situation is getting more and more wrong?"

"Heh, you guessed right, Lin An has probably recovered some of his strength; he's slowly draining your power!"

Hearing the Annihilator Overlord turn around and blame them, the giant face flew into a rage, merely suppressing his anger, but his heart was filled more with shock.

"Lin An has recovered his strength!?"

"He really is Fourth Stage advanced!? What exactly have you been stolen by him!?"

Compared to arguing right or wrong, the giant face's heart was shocked, his expression grim.

He sensed that the Annihilator seemed to have a feeling of being driven to a dead end.

That would mean Lin An might truly be strong! All their previous guesses would have to be overturned!

Moreover, seeing the Annihilator pay such a price, he also realized the Annihilator Overlord probably felt they had to go all out.

Damn it!

He understood!

Since the Alien Species world cannot currently dispatch power, the Annihilator Overlord is essentially fighting alone!

This guy, fearing an accident, Lin An could even seize the chance to shut the gate completely!

In that case, all the plans of the Alien Species civilization would be ruined at once!

No wonder this guy has been looking for helpers; it turns out he has absolutely no strength at all!

"Annihilator, what right do you have to blame us!?"

"If you had said earlier that the Alien Species cannot descend, we would naturally..."

Mid-sentence, the void giant face suddenly shut its mouth.

The reason is simple; seeing the Annihilator Overlord coldly laughing at him, he suddenly realized the problem also lay with them.

Their cooperation with the Alien Species is essentially under pressure from the Sovereigns and pressure from the Alien Species civilization.

If they had known from the start that the Alien Species would probably not be able to come over for a long time, they likely wouldn't have bothered with the Annihilator Overlord.

Even..

Even killing the Annihilator would be possible!

Closing the gate completely, humans would be much easier to deal with than the Alien Species...

"Figured it out?"

"If I had said so earlier, you wouldn't have sent even a single person!"

The Annihilator Overlord gave a cold laugh, his heart filled with icy chill.

Yes, although he was still deceiving these fugitives, in essence he had already spoken the 'truth'.

There was no way; he could only tell these fugitives part of the truth, so they wouldn't harbor illusions.

The Alien Species cannot descend!

Of course, one should say they've all died out!

Looking at the giant face's flickering gaze, as if constantly scheming in his heart, the Annihilator Overlord mercilessly pierced their idea:

"How, are you thinking again? Since Lin An is likely to have recovered his strength, even if I cooperate and act later, you'll still lose many people?"

"Simply... regardless of Lin An, having lost so many people, the cost is already great enough."

Without waiting for the giant face's instinctive denial, the Annihilation Overlord chuckled lightly and spoke to himself:

"It's impossible."

"You have thoroughly offended Lin An; he already knows how great your threat is."

"Moreover, what do you think the energy he stole is? Why do you think he absorbs Faith Power?"

"I haven't deceived you from the start."

"Lin An stole the Faith Power we have accumulated."

"He can't digest this thing; he can only rely on using human Faith Power to neutralize it, thereby restoring his strength, even... breaking through to Fifth Stage!"

"Do you think Lin An will let you live then? Letting you lot of worms compete with him for Faith?"

With a mocking expression, he casually fabricated a lie.

The Annihilation Overlord thought clearly; he knew just how timid this group of fugitives was.

He knows Lin An too well! Lin An still dares to stay in North America, and even dares to move the entire Long An faction over.

This shows that Lin An must be confident of winning this war!

Especially, his intuition won't deceive him; he has already sensed that monster recovering its strength!

Thus, in the ensuing battles, the fugitives will inevitably witness Lin An's power.

Even if Lin An is not at his peak, this group of fugitives will still be frightened into giving up!

He must force these guys to go to their deaths!

Otherwise, he will have no hope at all!

His face changed repeatedly.

Hearing the Annihilation Overlord expose the thought flashing through his mind, the giant face's expression turned resentful; he even realized that the Annihilation Overlord deliberately concealed this information to make them fight Lin An first!

The grudge of being besieged, plus the conflict over Faith.

Thus, even if they wanted to give up, they couldn't!

"What exactly do you want?!"

"If what you say is true, how much more power do we need to kill Lin An?!"

"Twenty, or thirty Fourth Stage?!"

His heart was dripping blood.

The giant face knew that dwelling on the Annihilation Overlord's deception now was pointless.

According to the Annihilation Overlord, Lin An's strength at his peak is at least around mid- to high-level Fourth Stage.

However, contrary to his expectations, the Annihilation Overlord snorted and extended a finger:

"Thirty? You still want to serve as dishes?"

"One hundred Fourth Stage, or at least require advanced Fourth Stage to act."

"Moreover, you must continue using your guise as deities to prevent Lin An from absorbing Faith Power."

"Masquerading as the Descent of the gods can interfere with his absorption of faith."

"Rest assured, I will also cooperate with you when the time comes!"

His words fell.

The Annihilation Overlord utterly ignored the giant face's ashen expression, his eyes full of mockery.

He naturally saw that the giant face, upon hearing that number, seemed frightened.

But..

What's a hundred Fourth Stage?!

If we do it again, letting the alien species civilization die even ten thousand, a hundred thousand Fourth Stage would be willing!

Silently raising his head to look at the sky, the Annihilation Overlord slowly closed his eyes, believing these fugitives would cooperate with him.

Just that.

No one knows, he merely wants these fugitives to keep sending themselves to death.

It's impossible.

Given how terrifying that monster is, by the time the situation has come to this point, there is no one left on this planet who is that monster.

He has already made the worst preparations.

His true hope.

Only..

That eye!
