Dealing with the Thousand People Lawmaker itself is not difficult. After the Newborn Lawkeeper was slain, the other Fusion Warriors displayed their strength as well. Combined with the assistance of Ann and Mary, dealing with those Lawyer Avatars, which only had numbers but no strength, was not a problem at all.

So Duanmu Huai didn't care about the chaotic battlefield ahead but took the opportunity to connect with Lumiaire—who had been monitoring the situation here. Obviously, she should know why this happened.

And Lumiaire indeed did not disappoint Duanmu Huai.

"Just before you, Sir Judge, were attacked, someone secretly sent a command to the garrison troops of this facility."

"A command?"

"Yes, the other party claims that Dr. Mei and the Fusion Warriors intend to rebel. Therefore, they instructed the garrison to cut off and destroy the energy supply channel of the Reality Stabilizing Anchor to allow their eradication by the Lawkeepers."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow. They only discovered the Newborn Lawkeeper's ability after the fact, but this order was issued beforehand, meaning the other party clearly knew about the Lawkeeper's ability, which is why they wanted to cut off the Reality Stabilizing Anchor first. Otherwise, the Lawkeeper's strength would be ineffective.

This also means...

"The command came from?"

"The upper echelons of the World Government."

"Oh ho..."

Hearing this answer, Duanmu Huai was not surprised at all.

Or rather, this was normal operation.

"This is really interesting."

Duanmu Huai said this while looking towards Dr. Mei, who was standing not far away, focused on the battlefield, saying nothing.

As for what she was thinking, well... shall we take a guess?

Duanmu Huai squinted his eyes, staring silently at Dr. Mei's back.

Enemies are never external, or rather, external enemies are easiest to deal with.

But internal enemies are different.

Eventually, everyone cooperated to eliminate the invading Thousand People Lawmaker. The reinforcements from Fire Moth arrived with them, bringing news that didn't surprise Duanmu Huai at all—a senior member of the World Government was identified as an avatar of the Thousand People Lawmaker and had been killed just now. It was also he who gave the command to destroy the Reality Stabilizing Anchor here, leading to the deterioration of the situation.

Luckily, the loss was not significant.

Thus, the joint operation of the Tenth and Eleventh Lawkeepers declared a failure, and both Lawkeepers were completely eradicated. At first glance, it seemed like a great victory, but for the members of Fire Moth, the situation was not that simple.

"I really didn't expect that the Lawkeepers could infiltrate the upper echelons of the World Government..."

Sitting in her chair, recalling this battle, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

"This is quite an accident."

"But, luckily, the Thousand People Lawmaker has been completely destroyed. At least now we don't have to worry about it hiding avatars."

Eden said quietly while sipping tea beside her, to which Alicia only nodded, not speaking. However, Xixi, sitting nearby, spoke up anxiously.

"But... when will this all end? Xixi feels that the current Lawkeepers seem to be getting stranger and harder to deal with..."

"..."

As Xixi said, the initial Lawkeepers used elemental attack capabilities like wind, water, fire, and earth, which were relatively easier to deal with. But after the Tribunal appeared and reversed the near-defeat state of humans on this planet, the subsequent Lawkeepers have become more bizarre. Some can cause memetic contamination, create black holes, clone themselves, or even halt the operation of Destruction Energy...

It's as if we've suddenly leaped from a materialistic Martial World to an idealistic Xianxia World, evolving from "Seven Injuries Fist, one punch, seven injuries" to "Little Li's Flying Knife, never misses."

After all, the former still talked about physics, but the latter is directly about causal law.

What a mess this is...

Frankly, this is tougher than the Saint Fighters challenging the Twelve Palaces because at least they knew they would pass once they fought through the Twelve Palaces. But the path ahead of them seemed like an endless staircase. How many more times must they face the Lawkeepers' attacks? How long can they endure? How many Lawkeepers remain? Must all humans on this planet perish before the Lawkeepers truly disappear?

As the Fusion Warriors fell silent, a voice broke the quiet.

"You'll never finish them, give up. Even if you grow old, you won't finish them."

With this provoking voice, Duanmu Huai pushed the door open and walked in, tossing his huge body onto the nearby sofa. The expensive branded sofa, funded by Eden, emitted a pitiful groan under his weight but didn't collapse—well, it seems the quality is good.

"Really, Sir Judge, this is a girls' tea party, can't you be a little more polite when you enter?"

Alicia picked up the teapot, grumbling at Duanmu Huai, who snorted lightly.

"What does it matter? It's all superficial. Plus, isn't it risky to have tea and snacks in the afternoon without worrying about gaining weight?"

"Please feel free to rest assured on that point."
