However, the energy system has been destroyed now? Does that mean it wasn't the Thousand People Lawmaker who did it, but humans?

Who could it be?

Bear in mind, this is a closed facility, it's impossible for outsiders to get in. Does that mean there's an inside man? Although it's not unheard of for people to be controlled and become Lawyer Avatars, like what happened at the research institute Duanmu Huai visited before, but this place has a Reality Stabilizing Anchor running twenty-four hours a day! Even a Lawyer Avatar should lose consciousness once it enters the range of the Reality Stabilizing Anchor...

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, a muffled explosion was heard in the distance, followed by the screams of the control room staff.

"The Reality Stabilizing Anchor lost connection! Detected Lawyer Collapse reaction... This is...!"

The next instant, an invisible ripple swiftly swept across everything. Before the staff member could finish speaking, they collapsed to the ground, motionless. Those at the control console, running around, or responsible for communications all fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut, completely lifeless.

Meanwhile, the entire base seemed to have turned into a deathly grave, enveloped in darkness.

Moments later, flames erupted.

"Boom--------!"

With the scorching shockwave, the entire base was blasted open with a huge hole, and Duanmu Huai leaped out of it with Alicia in tow. The latter looked around in shock, still reeling from the experience.

"Huh? Where am I... for a moment there, I lost consciousness?"

"I knew it, I suspected there was a trick."

Duanmu Huai tossed Alicia aside, and she fell heavily onto the ground.

"Ouch, Sir Judge, it's rude to treat a lady this way, it hurts!"

"What's the big deal? You're so well-padded, you're not afraid of a fall, right?"

In response to Alicia's angry little fists in protest, Duanmu Huai simply shrugged it off. Of course, he felt he wasn't wrong, as Alicia was quite voluptuous, with a very full figure, slim in the middle and curvy below, with plump, round thighs that seemed soft and cushiony, and likely wouldn't be harmed from a fall.

With all that cushioning, she's unlikely to get hurt anyway.

"Ugh... Sir Judge, talking like that won't win you any girl's heart."

"Whatever, you're not my wife, so why should you care."

Duanmu Huai reached out and patted Ogis, who was yawning as usual while sitting on his shoulder, showing no interest in the anomaly before them, just content with being a decoration on Duanmu Huai's shoulder.

"Not now, but maybe in the future? You might miss the chance to have a cute, pretty Fairy Girl as a girlfriend. Wouldn't you be a bit disappointed?"

"Doesn't matter, I have plenty of women, one less won't hurt."

While Duanmu Huai and Alicia bickered aimlessly, others began to appear around the breach.

"What on earth happened?"

Ann flew out of the hole next, with Eden, Sakura, and Dr. Mei at her side. The latter looked particularly astonished, like a country bumpkin who had never experienced Flying Magic before.

As for Mary, she brought Hua and Yimih around from the other side, politely opening the balcony door to enter—despite the fact that the hole in the wall was big enough for a tank.

"Hey... Teacher!"

On the other side, Mianmu Zuoniao leapt down from the void holding a Foxman reporter in one hand and Sakura in the other, landing steadily on the ground. As for the Foxman reporter, who had been too scared to open her eyes, and Xixi, who was rolling her eyes looking as if she was about to lose consciousness... well, they're like that.

"This isn't the Thousand People Lawmaker's power."

Dr. Mei, ever the research enthusiast, made a conclusion as soon as she landed.

"The Collapse Energy levels are too high; it's beyond what a mere Lawyer Avatar could achieve."

"So, we're dealing with two Lawyers this time? I see, that's the Thousand People Lawmaker's ploy to mislead us."

Now, Duanmu Huai understood. Unlike before, where it was one hero going to save the day each time, this time, the Lawyers seemed smarter, sending two at once. Clearly to avoid the Fire Moth noticing any anomaly, the Thousand People Lawmaker had shown up first to create an illusion, leading everyone to think that the Lawyer's power this time was merely having thousands of weakened Avatars.

This way, even when they detected a fluctuation in the Lawyer's signals, they would assume it was just one of the Avatars.

"I see; no wonder I found the Kant Counter scan data so strange this time..."

Realizing this, Duanmu Huai frowned. Just like before, when the Thousand People Lawmaker appeared, they scanned the planet using the warship, but the results were far from ideal. Previously, a Lawyer had a singular signal, and once they found the peak value, they could lock onto the target. But this time, with a thousand Avatars, the scan results were a complete mess...

Turns out, it was for this!

Ha, seems like the Lawyers are learning to use their brains too?

This could also explain why there was minimal resistance when they retrieved the God's Key and the Lawyer Core this time.

They want to gather everyone to wipe out the enemy in one go, and the enemy wants to do the same to them!

Well, talk about a tactical shift.

"We need to come up with a plan to deal with this Lawyer immediately."

Now Dr. Mei's face was stern.

"The Collapse Energy has already been nullified, and even other forms of energy are weakening, even though we haven't been affected yet..."

"That's because we protected you."

Duanmu Huai shrugged, looking at the others. Clearly, it was evident that when the energy blast occurred, Ann and Mary, with their Magician's intuition, had almost instantly put up shields for themselves and those around them, as for Mianmu Zuoniao...

"Ugh... Eh? Where is this place? Why is Xixi here?"

"Meow..."

Looking at the two bewildered, unlucky ones coming to their senses, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

Well, as long as they're not dead.

"In any case, let's first come up with a battle plan."

He then said.
