Chapter 185: The Lawbreaker Never Yields
"Bastard!" the female commander snarled, her voice laced with both fury and disbelief. Her fists clenched, and veins bulged across her blue-skinned forehead. "Where is the Red Annihilation Team? Deploy them at once!"
Her command rang through the comms like a whip, and the entire Skadi frontline stiffened.
Moments later, the skies split apart.
Five figures streaked across the heavens, trailing waves of warped space behind them. The very air rippled and bent around their bodies, as though reality itself feared their presence.
These were not ordinary Skadis. They were not even part of the known military hierarchy. No rank, no insignia. Just living weapons of absolute destruction.
They were the Annihilation Red Team, the enemies top executioners.
The first was cloaked in robes woven from dark starlight. In his grasp hovered a floating triangle-shaped construct, its core pulsating with collapsing star. Every flicker of its light brought a sense of impending doom, as if it held the death of entire civilizations within.
The second, pale and hairless, held a flute carved from the bones of something ancient and unspeakable. With a single breath, the sound it emitted did not resemble music, but a soul-tearing hum that turned the nearby hills to crumbling dust.
The third was a living nightmare. A colossal titan whose body scraped the clouds, muscles like molten iron flexing with each step. From his shoulders rose six monstrous heads, each one snarling with a different emotion—fury, agony, madness, hunger, cruelty, and silence.
The earth trembled beneath him.
The fourth and fifth moved so quickly they seemed to blink in and out of existence. Trails of smoke and fire marked their wake as they circled high above like vultures seeking blood.
Each of them radiated the oppressive weight of Apex Rank. Their power caused the Overlord’s side to falter for a heartbeat. Even the mountains seemed to bow under their presence.
