Chapter 192: Absolute Dominance

Chapter 192: Chapter 191: Absolute Dominance

The Pentagon, Core Command Center.

On the massive circular screen, the final scene of the Battle of Chicago was playing on loop.

That silver-white figure soared into the air, disappearing into the distant horizon.

In front of the screen, a group of high-ranking military generals and civilian officials stood with faces as pale as paper.

“How is this possible…”

A high-ranking official murmured to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

“How can such a powerful creature exist in this world?”

No one answered him.

Because everyone was too shocked by the images on the screen to speak.

The previous superhumans had already made them doubt the world.

But now, this hideous giant beast that could turn into a Little Girl had completely shattered all their perceptions.

How many creatures were still hidden on Blue Star that they didn’t know about? Did they really understand Blue Star?

“Those… those people…”

Another general spoke with difficulty.

“They put on such a grand display to welcome what they called the Hunter…”

He didn’t finish.

Because the result was already right before their eyes.

Total annihilation.

Those five people, those high and mighty individuals who seemed to have everything under control, were all killed by that silver-white giant beast like crushing ants.

The two sides were simply not on the same level of existence!

What chilled everyone even more was that crimson ray that swept through everything.

That kind of power was comparable to humanity’s current most powerful weapon—the nuclear bomb.

It might even be stronger.

And that giant beast had only used one strike.

With one strike, the central area of Chicago was completely leveled, and the skyscrapers in the center of Chicago were sliced clean in half!

Almost all of Chicago had been reduced to ruins.

Powerful.

Unprecedentedly powerful.

This was simply not a creature that humans could contend with.

Even—

They didn’t know if a nuclear bomb could even harm her.

No one dared to experiment with a nuclear bomb.

Because none of them could afford the consequences.

Once a nuclear bomb proved ineffective, with the opponent’s strength—

The downfall of America would only be a matter of time.

A deathly silence filled the command center.

“Re… Report!”

A trembling voice broke the dead silence.

A technician suddenly stood up, staring at the radar signals on the screen, his voice full of terror.

“The target is flying at extreme speeds! Direction—”

He paused, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

“The Pentagon!”

These words exploded in everyone’s minds like a thunderclap!

A few days ago, they had joined forces with those people to wanted and suppress those they called Reincarnators, and wanted this Hunter.

This was practically begging for hatred!

This was seeking their own destruction!

“Quick! Quick! Rescind all the wanted notices immediately!”

That general was the first to react, almost shouting the order.

“Instantly! Right now!”

His voice was shaking.

Although he didn’t know the real reason the opponent was coming to The Pentagon.

He knew that right now, they had to take a stance.

Their survival depended entirely on the other party’s mood.

This was the dominance of absolute strength.

When an individual’s power could rival humanity’s strongest weapon—the nuclear bomb.

Then, their lives were no longer their own to decide.

…

In the skies above The Pentagon.

A silver-white streak of light cut through the sky.

Lilith retracted her dragon wings, letting her body enter a free fall, rapidly plunging towards the massive pentagonal building below.

The wind whistled past her ears.

The building in her field of vision grew closer and closer.

Five hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

Suddenly, an invisible field radiated from her entire body!

That field was like a layer of transparent shielding, clinging tightly to her body.

When her body made contact with the steel and concrete of The Pentagon—

That steel, that concrete, those sturdy building materials instantly disintegrated before that field like tofu!

There was no loud crash.

There was no vibration.

Only a silent melting away.

Lilith’s body went straight down, passing through floor after floor, passing through office after office, and finally—

She landed steadily in the center of a massive command center.

The field dissipated.

Her feet touched the ground.

Those small feet, encased in black combat boots, stepped onto the cold floor, making a soft and rhythmic sound.

Inside the command center, everyone froze in place like statues.

They looked at the Little Girl who had appeared out of thin air in the middle of the command center, their minds going blank.

Long silver-white hair.

A black and red Gothic military uniform.

A face as exquisite as a doll’s.

And those—

Crimson vertical pupils.

Lilith raised her hand and straightened the brim of her military cap.

Her gaze slowly swept over every person present.

Those generals who were usually high and mighty, those high officials who held the fate of this country in their hands, were now all as quiet as cicadas in winter before her, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The corners of Lilith’s mouth curled up slightly.

She took a step, her combat boots treading on the floor, and walked directly up to a general.

He should be the highest commander here.

Lilith stood still in front of him, slightly tilting her head up to look at this old man who was twice her height.

“Hello.”

She spoke, her voice childish, yet carrying a majesty that could not be ignored.

The general’s Adam’s apple bobbed once.

“He… Hello…”

His voice was shaky, even stuttering a little.

She was clearly a Little Girl who looked weak and fragile, her small frame not even reaching his chest.

But when she stood before him, he felt a pressure that he couldn’t look directly at.

It was a suppression originating from the food chain.

It was the natural crushing of lower organisms by an existence at the top of the food chain.

He didn’t know what kind of identity this seemingly harmless little loli played on Blue Star.

But he knew—

She could make him, this building, and this City completely disappear in an instant.

Lilith looked at his terrified expression, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes.

“I want to know.”

She spoke, her childish voice echoing in the silent command center.

“Those research results from Gene Energy Company—”

She paused, organized her words, and continued.

“Were they taken by you?”

This question was like a massive boulder pressing on everyone’s hearts.

In that moment, the general felt as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff.

One wrong step would lead to a bottomless abyss.

But he had no choice.

He took a deep breath and answered in a voice as steady as possible.

“Ye… Yes. Those research results have been archived by us.”

Lilith nodded slightly.

“Take me there.”

Three words.

Beyond question.

The general lowered his head deeply.

“Yes.”
