Chapter 138: Defeating the Finality, How Bold is That?
Peaceful days always made time fly. Almost a year had passed since Lee had started living here.
Today was another beautiful day. Look at the peaceful sky and peaceful base, and the researchers running around to avoid attacks…
"Scientists are truly tireless in their pursuit of death."
Lee sighed lightly and descended like a meteor, crushing the head of a Emperor-class Honkai beast.
The once-arrogant chaos-maker fell instantly. The researchers, who had been fleeing, now swarmed over, vying to collect the Honkai beast's materials, as if they had forgotten their earlier panic.
Unlike the daredevil scientists, the security personnel cheered, happy to be alive and excited to see their idol.
The strongest human in legend, undefeated, single-handedly defeated the Herrscher of Reason, Honkai beasts were nothing to her!
Everyone in Fire Moth, even the newbies in boot camp, had heard of this legendary figure.
Being saved by a legend was exciting, and she was so beautiful, which was even more thrilling!
"That's how it is. I'm practically Fire Moth's national idol."
In Mobius's lab, Lee crossed her legs casually. "Sometimes being too popular is a bit of a pain. No matter what I do, there are always people watching. It's stressful in battle."
"Heh, nothing strange about it."
Mobius, busy with experiments, didn't even turn her head, just scoffed. "It's just that internal pressure is too high, so they're using you to build confidence. Even if they keep me locked in the lab, I can tell the situation outside from your expression every time you come back."
"So… how's the Second Herrscher's subjugation going?"
"Troublesome. Casualties have been quite high lately."
Lee smiled, a wry smile. "The Second Herrscher seems to control space. The first time we tried to subdue her, she escaped. Since then, she's been wreaking havoc everywhere, summoning Honkai beast legions and running away… Defeating her isn't hard for me, the problem is catching her."
"If only there was a way to know where she'll appear next."
Lee poked Mobius's butt. It felt nice.
"A world-destroying Herrscher, in your mouth, sounds like some trash mob you can defeat easily." Mobius turned around, looking at Lee teasingly. "Are you really human?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Lee spread her hands innocently. "Dr. Mobius, you know best whether I'm human. All my test reports and medical data are with you. You probably know me better than I know myself."
"Heh, true, test results say you're human, just abnormally strong."
Mobius's eyes were unreadable. "It's like… evolution…"
"Evolution is an exaggeration. I'm just a slightly stronger-than-average human~" Lee waved her hand, looking embarrassed. "To save the world, strength is necessary."
"Save the world?" Mobius laughed. "Do you want to be a superhero from anime? Well, you might be stronger than anime heroes…"
Lee didn't laugh, just looked at Mobius, her eyes gentle and firm.
Mobius's laughter gradually subsided as she met Lee's gaze.
"I'll only tell you this, Doctor." Lee smiled, serious.
"I want to be a savior."
Lee wasn't joking.
Compared to her previous alt accounts, Lee was much stronger, but faced a big problem – she didn't know what to do.
Lihua knew the plot and characters, so she could approach Otto and Kallen, build goodwill, and prepare to reap the rewards at the end.
Shoko knew the plot and missions, so she could plan everything and execute it step by step, reaping a great harvest.
But Lee didn't know the plot, nor who would give her energy. Even with forum info, it wasn't very helpful.
The only two people she knew were Mei and Kevin, and she only knew that one was a cold, genius beauty, and the other was a cool guy who went from cheerful to aloof. She didn't know their personalities or what they would go through.
She couldn't target specific high-efficiency energy sources, nor could she plan specific strategies.
Lee's main task was to get stronger, but harvesting energy was also essential. Since she couldn't farm elites, she had another idea – why not farm the masses?
The Previous Era was facing a great disaster, and before Kevin and the other overpowered characters appeared, they lacked a leader.
If Lee could become a symbol of hope and victory, wouldn't she be able to harvest energy from billions of people?
Lee was the strongest person now, with a glorious record of defeating the Herrscher of Reason. Fire Moth was even trying to make her a hero.
Her plan was feasible.
And Lee had an even bolder idea – since she was so strong, could she defeat the Finality and save the Previous Era?
Even if only 1% of ten billion people survived, that was still a hundred million. As the savior of the world, she would be loved by everyone, and harvesting energy from them would be easy.
Just thinking about it made Lee excited.
Finally, Lee set her ultimate goal: save humanity, defeat the Finality!
It was bold, but Lee was determined.
If she failed, there was always Plan B…
