Chapter 204: The Journey!

The War Pet leaderboard, at this moment, became the focus of players worldwide.

While everyone was still hesitating and arguing over what kind of War Pet to form a contract with, a name had already appeared on the leaderboard.

The only name.

[War Pet leaderboard: Rank 1]

[Name: Ni Jing]

[Contractor: Ye]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Unknown]

These four simple lines of information caused a massive uproar on a global scale.

“Someone has already completed a contract?!”

“It’s that [Ye]! The one ranked first on the hunter leaderboard!”

“Ni Jing… that name doesn’t sound simple.”

“Without other War Pets as a reference, it’s impossible to tell this War Pet’s true strength!”

“To be worthy of [Ye], it must be top-tier stuff!”

All sorts of speculations spread wildly through the intelligence networks of various Factions.

…

Dragon Kingdom, somewhere in a high-rise building.

Xuanwu stood by the window, looking toward America with a deep frown.

“Could it be that Flesh and Blood Corpse King?”

He muttered to himself.

That day in the Island Nation, he had witnessed Lilith take away the Flesh and Blood Corpse King that was about to evolve.

A creature of that level was indeed worthy of the contract of the top-ranked Hunter.

However, a voice from behind negated his guess.

“It isn’t.”

Luna, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, stood with his hands behind his back.

In his purple eyes, the clouds of the distant horizon were reflected.

Xuanwu turned around, his face showing doubt.

“Not the Flesh and Blood Corpse King? Then what did she contract?”

Luna didn’t answer directly, but said indifferently.

“Although the potential of the Flesh and Blood Corpse King is great, it’s not the most suitable choice.”

He paused and continued.

“As dungeons get stronger, the monsters appearing in the future will also become more powerful. Creatures of the level of Godzilla or King Ghidorah might even appear.”

Hearing this, Xuanwu’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Godzilla?”

“King Ghidorah?”

Those were all terrifying existences capable of destroying the world!

If even creatures of that level were to appear, then the Flesh and Blood Corpse King really wouldn’t be much.

“Moreover…”

Luna’s gaze became deeper.

“America’s national fortune is rapidly fading.”

Xuanwu was stunned.

“national fortune fading?”

He knew all too well what that meant.

“Are you saying [Ye] is preparing to move against America?”

Luna didn’t answer, only a faint smile appeared on his lips.

In that smile, there was a bit of understanding and a bit of anticipation.

Compared to those corrupt politicians in America, if [Ye] were to take control of America, it might not be a bad thing for the Dragon Kingdom.

At least, she was an opponent who could be communicated with and predicted.

“The consolidation of the East Asian situation should also be accelerated.”

Luna withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out.

“With the advancement of the Dragon Kingdom’s national fortune, the whole of Asia, except for India and the Big Bear, is already in our pocket.”

“So now, we must stabilize the situation in Asia as quickly as possible.”

Xuanwu nodded and followed him.

When he reached the door, Luna suddenly stopped and looked north.

That was the direction of the Big Bear.

Since the Main God Game descended, that massive country had gradually faded from the international spotlight.

But their number of SS-Rank Hunters was comparable to the Dragon Kingdom’s.

Now, they seemed to be preparing to do something big as well.

This big event should be related to SSS-Rank Hunters. Perhaps they also want to artificially create an SSS-Rank Hunter to stabilize their country’s position.

“Interesting.”

Luna said softly and stepped away.

…

Apocalypse Base, office.

The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.

Lilith pushed the door open and entered, followed by an unfamiliar figure.

It was a blue-haired girl, her face as delicate as a work of art, but with an innate coldness in her eyes.

She wore casual clothes with a trench coat, standing quietly behind Lilith.

Most striking was the blue Bone Tail swaying gently behind her.

And those dark gold vertical pupils.

Inside the office, all the high-level members of Tianqi were gathered.

Fenrir, William, Leah, Brandy, Rick—every face bore anticipation and gravity.

But when their eyes fell on the blue-haired girl, everyone’s expression changed.

That was an instinctive shudder.

Not fear.

But the body’s spontaneous alertness when facing a powerful lifeform.

Fenrir clenched his fists, his muscles tensing.

William’s pupils contracted slightly, a hint of gravity flashing in his dark red vertical pupils.

Even Brandy, who was used to seeing strong people, subconsciously took half a step back.

That sense of pressure…

It was too strong.

It felt even heavier than the feeling Forti, an SSS-Rank Hunter, gave them.

This blue-haired girl was not simple.

She was very strong.

Extremely strong.

Lilith walked to the main seat, turned around, and her gaze swept over everyone present.

In those crimson eyes, a sharp light flickered.

“Since everyone is here.”

She spoke, her youthful voice carrying an unprecedented seriousness.

“I think everyone is clear about what comes next.”

She paused and continued.

“America will be renamed ‘Tianqi’ before the next dungeon opens.”

“From now on, America will completely exit the stage of history.”

“In the entire West, only one country, one power, can exist.”

Her voice, word by word, was powerful and resonant.

“And that is—”

“Tianqi!”

As her voice fell, the office instantly erupted!

They had finally waited for this day!

At this moment, everyone’s face was filled with excitement and fanaticism.

As members of Tianqi, they had long known that this faction’s ambition was definitely not just to become some power within America.

What they wanted was the whole world!

Now that the leader had spoken, they could finally fight with everything they had!

Lilith raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then, she began to issue orders.

“William, Leah.”

The two stepped forward simultaneously.

“You two will lead thirty thousand of Tianqi’s elites to sweep through all the remaining forces in America.”

Lilith said in a deep voice, cold and decisive.

“Either surrender and submit, or—”

“Be destroyed.”

William and Leah looked at each other and nodded heavily.

“Yes!”

“Brandy.”

Brandy stepped forward.

“Use your [Storage] talent to bring all the Xenomorph Guards created by the Xenomorph Queen.”

A flash of excitement crossed Brandy’s eyes.

“Yes, Leader!”

“Rick.”

Rick stepped out.

“Go and assemble all Hunters of S-class and above. Get ready to set out with me.”

Rick responded in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Lilith’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing outside the window.

“I need, within one day—”

She paused, her voice filled with absolute confidence.

“To make the entire Sentinel Alliance submit.”

Just as she finished speaking—

*Boom!*

A heavy thud of something landing came from outside the window.

A massive shadow blotted out the sun, covering half of Tianqi’s plaza.

Everyone turned to look.

On the plaza, a gargantuan creature was prone on the ground.

With dark purple exoskeletons and an eighty-meter-long body, on its hideous head, eyes composed of countless multiple pupils looked submissively toward the office.

The Flesh and Blood Corpse King.

The transport vehicle for this expedition against the Sentinel Alliance.

The corners of Lilith’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Let’s go.”

She stepped outside.

Behind her, the blue-haired girl followed quietly.

In those dark gold vertical pupils, the reflection of her master’s back was mirrored.

This time, she would follow her master into battle once more!
