Chapter 5255: The God of Annihilation

The God of Annihilation's mind swirled with countless thoughts, but then he shook his head, casting all of them aside, and walked toward Su Han and the others with a smile, arms outstretched: "Young Lady Qiyan, Young Lady Bronia, and the two Mei ladies—would you be interested in becoming Laws?"

"Oh wait, you already are Laws, aren't you?"

"Then let me rephrase…"

"For instance… Young Lady Qiyan! Do you want to become… the Final Law, the one who wields the power to destroy civilizations?"

The scene fell into dead silence.

Himiko, who had just broken off combat with the Law of Thunder and caught her breath, froze in expression; she involuntarily swallowed, her gaze fixed on the group with horror and disbelief—tinged with a thread of fear.

Two or more Laws…

One Law had already made her and her squad run like dogs—if two more joined, did human civilization still have hope?!

In fact, it wasn't just her…

Meanwhile.

The headquarters of the Firefly.

The Firefly's high command, monitoring the scene via the remote camera embedded in Himiko's clothing, had been watching the situation. Of course, during the close-quarters battle with the Law of Thunder, the terrifying electromagnetic field had flooded the video feed with static, barely transmitting distorted audio…

But now that the battle had ceased, the recording functioned normally again.

The moment they could see clearly, they heard the God of Annihilation's invitation—it was as if they'd been struck by lightning from the outset!

After a brief silence, the scene erupted into utter chaos.

"Immediately, right now, throw every Peace Egg we have at them! Otherwise, humanity is finished!"

"I'll throw your mother, that's Shenzhou! That's Shenzhou's most prosperous coastal metropolis… the very heart of Shenzhou's essence…"

"Everyone's already dead anyway—this is humanity's moment of survival! Suffer Shenzhou a little…"

"But it won't work—the Peace Eggs might kill a Law, but even that's doubtful! And the God of Annihilation, who created the Laws, is right there!"

"That God of Annihilation openly said from the start: 'Throw all your eggs at me!' That means he knows we have this weapon… and yet he dares appear openly despite knowing it—do you really think it'll work?"

"Aelisya is there too—she's our Firefly's strongest warrior right now! And countless Firefly warriors are there, fighting Death Knights and rescuing civilians—they're our most elite troops!"

"Exactly—this strike would dissolve the Firefly outright. Even setting that aside, if the troops below find out we ordered the sacrifice of tens of thousands of elite warriors, they'll revolt—and kill us all."

Radical voices, critics of the radicals, moderates, those urging patience, those convinced all was lost, those who had given up completely—every human reaction laid bare.

"Enough!" The green-haired girl slammed her fist on the table, glaring fiercely at everyone present—she was Mephisto, the Firefly's chief scientist. She controlled the Firefly's scientific division and, as one of the high command herself, held immense authority.

"Is now the time to argue?"

"Then what do you suggest?" A blond man crossed his arms, his face grim.

"Wait," Mephisto replied coldly. Before anyone could object, she turned her gaze back to the video feed: "Wait. Wait for Aelisya's response."

"Ultimately, none of us are there. We know partial information, but we cannot judge the true situation—yet Aelisya is there. Her answer holds the most value."

A brief stir ran through the room, then someone spoke: "But… she's with those two Laws…"

"Are they even Laws? Don't forget—the so-called God of Annihilation once arrogantly claimed he created every Law in past and future? Then how come two new Laws have appeared who seem unrelated to Him?" Mephisto said coldly.

After a few moments of murmuring, the room fell silent again.

They all had to admit—Mephisto was right…

And everyone knew Mephisto disliked Aelisya… the Firefly's chief scientist versus its chief warrior—one cold as a serpent, the other fiery as flame—one seemingly rational, the other seemingly emotional.

They were complete opposites.

Yet even Mephisto, of all people, was willing to trust the suspicious Aelisya now—what reason did the rest of them have to object?
