Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1254 - 254: Empire Line: Towards the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (49)_3

Elevent suddenly realized:

"Maybe that was the opportunity to capture Lai Anding and the [Player] in one sweep..."

"Even if you catch them, it's useless."

Oshen poured a cold bucket of water:

"Lai Anding and the [Player] both have Administrator Access. If they wanted, they could probably even create cheats. Moreover, if they plan to descend into the Void themselves, the strength of security is a secondary issue. For someone as powerful as Lai Anding, confidentiality would be very well handled, and we certainly wouldn't be able to find her."

"More likely, Lai Anding will approach the [Twilight Duke] personally to persuade the Void to wage war on the entire Starry Abyss, and with her status, paying a price would definitely be enough to make the [Twilight Duke] tempted."

Li Aozi mercilessly added another blow:

"We are all on the same side, so I'll just say it: On what basis do you think we could offer a more valuable gift than the esteemed [Redemption Sprite] Lai Anding? So trying to persuade or bribe the [Twilight Duke] is also impossible. This matter cannot be resolved through peaceful means."

"Then, should we assassinate the [Twilight Duke]?"

"That's basically impossible."

Li Aozi shook his head:

"Once we enter the Void, the entire world is within the Inherent Time Domain. The Inherent Time Domain is the Mortal's Divine Country, and Deities can't die in their own Divine Country. Do you still expect the [Twilight Duke]—who is infinitely close to a Chief God—to die in the Zhou Yuan Universe, which is one-sixth the size of the Border Abyss?"

Bam!

Atreya Nightwind slammed a fist on the table, dissatisfied:

"Tsk! This won't work, that won't work, so are we just going to stand by and watch Lai Anding's plan unfold, leaving us to passively face war?"

"Not to mention a war that sweeps the entire world, the three layers of the Starry Abyss, and eight Narrative levels; [Society] might take advantage of the situation."

"The three layers of the Starry Abyss have a combined intelligent life of sixty sextillion. No matter who wins or loses in the end, the Citizens of the Starry Abyss will ultimately be the ones to suffer."

"A war of this scale is about to break out, and we have no way to stop it? Even though we know the opponent's goal..."

"Then, the only option might be to go to war, right?"

"But what if we win? By then, the Starry Abyss will already be torn apart."

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually turned gloomy.

Despite already being aware that the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was extreme, many had already resolved themselves to die before achieving their ambitions.

Sacrifice is not something anyone fears.

But in a war where the price will be great, regardless of victory or defeat, people have to consider whether their sacrifice holds meaning.

This is why Players who removed the Cognition Filter chose to join the True Martial Party and resist Lai Anding.

No one wants to be cannon fodder for nothing, and no one wants the cause they fight for to be cruel and ugly.

"In prosperity, the people suffer; in downfall, the people suffer."

Li Aozi spoke:

"It's always been this way in history. If we're planning a revolution, then don't be afraid of death."

Someone couldn't help but ask:

"So, Lord Leoz, what are your thoughts?"

Li Aozi shook his head:

"First, we need to strengthen our power. Right now, at your level, you can't even gain an advantage against an ordinary Void Overlord, let alone face the [Twilight Duke]."

"We don't have much time. There's only a week left before the version update, and Lai Anding and Plyer will definitely take action this week. There's no time for assembling troops or conducting training." Oshen said helplessly.

"No, we still have one more card to play."

Li Aozi pondered for a moment and said:

"I plan to contact Severston."

"Severston? But according to you, Severston is no longer a Chief God."

"Whether Severston is a Chief God or not doesn't affect his skills."

Li Aozi stood up:

"In such a short time, there's basically no good way to quickly enhance combat power. We can only hope that Severston can create some special tools targeting the [Twilight Duke]. Regardless of how things develop, we're likely unable to avoid a confrontation with the [Twilight Duke]."

"Wait, what kind of card is that?" Atreya Nightwind complained: "In the end, there's still no solution."

Oshen said helplessly:

"...Then it seems that's all we can do."
