Chapter 546

Locke and Moria successfully completed the mission; they returned to the World Government base and reported the completion of the mission to the Empress.

Upon hearing their report, the Empress nodded with satisfaction and expressed her gratitude to them.

However, at this moment, the Empress suddenly changed her attitude, sneering as she said, "I never intended for you to successfully stop that pirate crew's attack."

Locke and Moria both looked at the Empress in astonishment; they did not know why she had suddenly changed her attitude.

The Empress continued, "In fact, I wanted to use that pirate crew's attack to achieve my own goals."

Locke and Moria were stunned; they could not believe the Empress's words. The Empress continued, "Your mission was merely to provide cover for me, allowing that pirate crew to carry out their attack smoothly. This is why I assigned you to come here to achieve my goal."

The faces of Locke and Moria became extremely ugly; they felt they had been used. What was the Empress's goal? They could not help but start to guess.

The Empress looked at them and sneered, "You don't need to think too much. My goal is very simple: I need that pirate crew's attack to prove my strength and let the whole world know that I am the most powerful person."

The gazes of Locke and Moria became cold; they decided not to be used anymore and to stop the Empress's conspiracy.

"Empress, you are too arrogant. Do you think you can control everything? We won't let you succeed!" Locke straightened his chest and issued a challenge.

The Empress sneered, "You little pirates dare to challenge me? You are too naive."

"We are not little pirates; we are the souls of justice. We will not be intimidated by your power!" Moria's voice was also full of determination.

The Empress's face became very serious; she knew she was facing two extraordinary enemies.

"Fine, since you want to challenge me, then come! I will let you witness my strength!" The Empress's voice became very cold.

Locke and Moria stopped talking and began to act. Locke used his ability to launch an attack on the Empress.

Locke's ability was the control of fire, and his attacks were very fierce. He sent waves of fire toward the Empress.

The Empress did not show weakness; her ability was the control of lightning. She sent waves of lightning that collided with Locke's fire.

The two powerful forces canceled each other out, and the scene was very intense. Locke's attacks became increasingly fierce, his flames grew hotter, and the Empress also continuously strengthened her own attack power.

Moria used his ability to control the surrounding shadows, distracting the Empress. He launched an attack on the Empress, and she could only divert part of her attention to deal with him.

The attacks of Locke and Moria became increasingly fierce, and their strength grew as well. The Empress felt she was beginning to struggle; she started to retreat, attempting to avoid the attacks of Locke and Moria.

However, Locke and Moria did not relax; they kept pursuing the Empress, not giving her a chance to catch her breath.
