Chapter 210: Codename—Tyrant!

“Not good! It’s flying toward the City!”

A staff member stared intently at the screen, his face instantly turning pale.

On the screen, that silver-white giant beast suddenly spread its sun-blotting dragon wings. With just a gentle flap, its massive body took to the air, shooting toward the nearest coastal City!

Its Speed was at the extreme; in the satellite footage, only a blurry afterimage remained!

The entire control room instantly fell into a dead silence.

Then—

“Hurry!!!”

The Commander’s roar exploded!

“Notify everyone in the City! Evacuate to the air-raid shelters immediately! Now!”

“Keep your eyes glued to it! I want to know its every move!”

A technician frantically tapped on the keyboard, trying to redirect the satellite to track the giant beast’s trajectory.

But in the next second, his voice became filled with despair.

“It’s no use! The satellite redirection can’t keep up with its Speed!”

On the screen, that silver-white figure flickered a few times before completely disappearing from view.

Only on the radar, a high-concentration life signal was approaching the coastal City at an unfathomable Speed!

Everyone’s heart was in their throat.

According to the system’s evaluation just now, it was a Level Six Monster!

Its appearance completely shattered human understanding.

If those Kaijus also had this kind of stealth ability, then humans wouldn’t have time to deploy Jaegers before the City was reduced to ruins!

“Continue tracking! Even if it’s just a radar signal, keep your eyes on it!”

The Commander’s voice was hoarse but firm.

“All Jaeger combat units, enter Level 1 combat readiness! Be ready to deploy at any moment!”

Alarms echoed frantically throughout the base.

Everyone was mobilizing rapidly, not daring to stop for a second.

Because this was a moment concerning a City—and even the fate of all humanity.

…

Meanwhile, in that coastal City.

High in the sky, Lilith glanced down at the dense, ant-like crowds of panicked people. Her dragon wings tucked in slightly, and her body began to plummet rapidly.

The moment she reached the airspace above the City—

Red mist filled the air.

The massive silver-white body rapidly compressed, transformed, and reshaped within that thick blood mist.

In the next second, a petite figure leaped out from the red mist, landing steadily on the roof of a skyscraper.

Lilith stood at the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the ground.

Piercing air-raid sirens resounded throughout the City.

On the streets, the crowds surged frantically, sprinting toward the nearest subway stations and air-raid shelters.

Vehicles were jammed, traffic was paralyzed, and cries, screams, and curses intertwined.

The entire City was in a state of chaos.

Lilith tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

These people… what are they running for?

She looked down at her current appearance—a white T-shirt, denim shorts, black shoes, and long silver-white hair flowing loosely.

She looked completely like an ordinary Little Girl.

They shouldn’t be hiding from her, right?

Then what are they hiding from?

Lilith thought for two seconds, couldn’t figure it out, and stopped thinking about it.

With a light tap of her toes, her petite body leaped directly from the top of the hundred-meter-tall building.

“Tap.”

Her short boots landed softly, and the ground began to crack outward with Lilith as the center.

Lilith pulled her shoes and feet from the ground and looked around, finding herself in a quiet alleyway.

At the entrance of the alley, a man in a plaid shirt was crouching in the corner, head in hands, shivering.

Hearing footsteps, he cautiously raised his head, and then—

He met those crimson vertical pupils.

The man froze.

Lilith also froze.

Two seconds later.

Lilith walked up to him and held out her small hand.

“Lend me your phone for a moment.”

The man stared blankly at the exquisite, almost unreal little loli before him, his mind a complete blank.

Not until he felt pain in his face did he snap out of it; he tremblingly pulled the phone from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Lilith took the phone, opened the browser, and began browsing the recent news.

Meanwhile, the man remained crouching in place, motionless.

He saw it.

He saw that this Little Girl had fallen from the sky.

He saw the concrete shatter when she landed.

He saw—

A foot.

A tiny foot, wearing a black shoe, was stepping on his face.

Wait?

Stepping on his face?

Only then did the man realize that his face was being pressed against the wall by that small foot, with a clear shoeprint already stamped on his face.

But he didn’t dare move.

He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

He could only crouch there shivering, watching helplessly as this Little Girl stepped on his face while leisurely scrolling through the phone.

Lilith was indeed scrolling through the phone, but the man’s reaction just now made her quite unhappy.

[Monsters run rampant, humanity is in peril! The third Kaiju this month has landed on the West Coast!]

[Emergency Recruitment! The Pan-Pacific Defense Corps is recruiting Jaeger Pilots globally!]

[Expert Prediction: The frequency of Kaiju appearances will increase by 300% within the next year.]

[The new Jaeger ‘Striker Eureka’ is about to be deployed, claimed to be the strongest in history!]

Lilith scrolled through them one by one, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

Jaegers…

They really are quite interesting.

She continued scrolling down and found the specific details of the recruitment information.

Age 18 or older, excellent physical fitness, no criminal record, must pass psychological tests and simulated piloting assessments.

Training period: three months.

Room and board provided, high allowance, family members enjoy priority evacuation rights.

Lilith looked at these conditions and fell into deep thought.

Age 18 or older… this condition didn’t fit.

However, she could change it.

Psychological test… no big deal.

Simulated piloting assessment… shouldn’t be difficult either.

As for the three-month training period—

She didn’t really need training.

She only needed an identity.

An identity that would allow her to openly come into contact with Jaegers and Kaijus.

And…

She turned her head and looked toward the distant blue ocean.

If she and those Reincarnators became Jaeger Pilots and participated in defensive operations, then the frequency of Kaiju appearances would only get higher and higher.

After all, the Precursors in the Wormhole weren’t fools.

They would perceive the threat and send more Kaijus to deal with it.

Once the number of Jaegers increased, the number of Kaijus would also increase.

For her, this was a good thing.

She needed the genes of the Kaijus.

The more, the better.

As for going to the monster world through the Wormhole—

That was a choice of last resort.

She wasn’t sure what was inside the Wormhole.

If she got bogged down in battle and couldn’t return to the Main God Space in time, it would be trouble.

And the monsters in the Wormhole were countless.

Trying to disengage from battle would be too difficult.

Therefore, the best way was to stay here.

As a human.

As a Jaeger Pilot.

Waiting for those monsters to deliver themselves to her door.

Lilith withdrew her thoughts, removed her foot, and handed the phone back to the man still crouching on the ground.

The man tremblingly took the phone, the shoeprint on his face clearly visible.

Lilith glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

“Thank you.”

With that, she turned around and, with light steps, disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

The man crouched in place, shivering for a full five minutes before daring to cautiously peek his head out.

The alley was empty.

Only the shoeprint on his face proved that everything just now wasn’t a hallucination.
