God-level Hero

Now, the Sky Ship sails upstream along the underground river, and what comes its way are the Japan Region Bright Alliance’s low-level players, floating downstream with logs in their arms.

In a place like Lamia Village, which is under Hell Power control, Bright Alliance players are practically useless, so their only use is acting as human shields to prevent Da Fei’s sabotage. Da Fei is well aware of this. Nonetheless, one has to admit, Japan Region does things efficiently in its own way.

In contrast to the China Region—well, Da Fei has never really cooperated with China’s large guilds. If there’s any collaboration, it’s the Dragon Slayer Guild building that circle of the Great Wall outside Radiant City for him. Honestly, it was indeed highly efficient and effective; if not for the interference of Divine Beast Leviathan, I’d probably be gone. In any case, these world-class guilds are indeed formidable.

But there’s an issue—since the Pool of Radiance’s passage to the Underworld Hell City has been discovered, will the Elf Kingdom launch a counterattack? Should I consider leveraging NPC power to play big? However, the premise is, does the Elf Kingdom have the power to counterattack?

Just as Da Fei was deep in thought, a system prompt dinged:

——System Prompt: Your Lamp God Space has received letters and goods from Elda in Exile, please check!

Oh yes! It’s here! Da Fei rushed excitedly to the Lamp God Space and saw indeed a pile of Blood Red Crystal Stones on the array like a small mountain, along with a letter on the crystals. Eagerly, Da Fei opened the letter to read.

——To my astonishment, Lord City Lord:

Receiving your letter made me very happy and shocked; I too believe these crystals are extremely suitable materials for producing Lilim, and there’s no more suitable material than this. I fully support your actions and have sent all 363 units and 46 pieces of crystals collected this time. I will continue to mobilize all warriors to keep mining; please be patient.——Fatigued Elda, just back from mining.

Da Fei’s hand trembled with excitement as he held the letter: "Good! That’s great!" So these are the ultimate materials for Lilim; I’m going to mass-produce them! Haha, wahahaha!

Now, of course, time to grab some materials and find Miss Hilda to let her study them.

Thus, Da Fei headed to the tavern to hand over the materials to Hilda: "Miss Hilda, here it is!"

Hilda solemnly received the crystal stones with both hands, then began casting magic, causing the entire stone to emit a dazzling red light. At this moment, Hilda’s expression changed entirely, and her voice started to tremble: "So good! I want it so much!"

"Want it so much?" Da Fei had never seen the always calm and composed Hilda lose decorum like this!

Da Fei chuckled in disbelief: "I don’t even know how much I owe Miss Hilda. If Miss Hilda wants it, I can give you extra crystals, not sure if it can offset the debt?"

"Really?" Hilda shivered all over, her eyes showing a gambler-like fervent glow! Yes, that’s a greedy look, one Da Fei had only encountered during a gambling match with the Gambling God!

Da Fei was shaken to the core; what is happening? Why did Hilda’s lady-like demeanor fully collapse in an instant? But faced with her fervent gaze, Da Fei couldn’t help but nod and laugh awkwardly: "Of course—this, after all, I owe you quite a debt and quite a favor too."

Hilda laughed heartily: "Lord City Lord, you’re so generous. Do you know what these crystals mean to me?"

Da Fei coughed: "Aren’t they your mom’s flesh? Is there sentimental value?"

Hilda’s smile disappeared: "It is my mom’s flesh, but the use is even greater; I need a lot of them. Will the Lord City Lord support me?"

There is potential! Could it be—at this moment, Da Fei faintly guessed the direction! This is going for a big move?

So Da Fei also straightened his face: "Throughout Miss Hilda’s long journeys on board, you have proven yourself as our good friend, good partner, an indispensable member. Whatever you do, even if you want to become the Great Demon King, as long as you continue to be my friend, I’ll fully support you!"

Hilda laughed more: "Lord City Lord, I truly feel I chose correctly to follow you; with your support, I now have the courage to pursue freedom!"

Indeed, there is potential! Da Fei quickly said: "Please, Miss Hilda, state your request; I am a man capable of defeating even Demon God-level experts!"

Hilda excitedly said: "I told you, my dad is Adam, my mom is Lilith, I am one of the world’s first Lilim—one of its clones. Of course, strictly speaking, I don’t have an original body; my original was like a worm, decomposed into many weak clones like me, scattered amidst the world’s mundane, atoning for my mother’s rebellion against the gods. Although I personally committed no crime, owning Lilith’s power is a crime. I’m clearly not a criminal but receive treatment like a criminal! Lord City Lord, can you understand my feelings?"

Indeed, it’s time to recruit her!

Da Fei, deeply emotional, wrapped Hilda in a hug: "I said, I will support you!"

Hilda coughed and pushed away Da Fei’s demon hand: "Well, my lord, please have some restraint!"

Apu! Da Fei spat a mouthful of saliva! Is our relationship not there yet?

Hilda sighed: "Though I don’t have a physical body, Lord City Lord can’t just—"

Da Fei paused: "You don’t have a physical body?"

Hilda smiled: "Of course, I don’t have a physical body; I exist in the same essence as Third Generation Angels!"

Da Fei then realized: "That’s it! Not having a physical body is good; that’s purity, no need for bathroom breaks!"

Hilda seriously said: "Precisely because I don’t have a physical body, I urgently need one; this pursuit of freedom roots from that, and the bloodstone of Lilith is the perfect material to create my body—nothing suits me better. However, before that, I will gradually master using these crystal stones through manufacturing ordinary Lilim Army; I need a lot of crystal stones!"

As Hilda’s voice fell, the system prompt dinged:

——System Prompt: You have received the Legendary Task information for "Freedom Wings."

——Task Hint: The current formal conditions for triggering the task are not met. Players can accumulate tasks before formally triggering it.

Da Fei was shaken all over! Wow, legendary task! I’m able to trigger finding some Atlantis or whatever underwater city for Sea God in New World’s legendary task and even Bahamut whatever, yet this task’s conditions aren’t triggered yet? What’s going on here?

Hilda continued: "So, Lord City Lord, I will first study these crystals. Once Miss Selvia’s Lilim’s Soul is officially refined, I’ll proceed with manufacturing."

Da Fei suddenly realized, this crystal is related to Red Name Village; could it be waiting for the formal opening of Red Name Village? It must be! Being able to accumulate pre-conditions before the official opening is extraordinarily advantageous.

Da Fei smiled: "Alright, Miss Hilda, take your time researching; take as many crystals as you need!"

"Got it!"

Looks like I’m on track to create a god! Feeling sentimental, Da Fei returned to the cockpit. Just then, the system prompt dinged again:

Your team gains extra growth potential! Your Fluid Mechanics Talent Skill grants you an aerial navigation insights notebook!
