Nader, who was usually the noisiest, was now clutching his head and groaning softly after a hangover:

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

These three questions startled Hilde, who frowned and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"You've lost your memory already? Do you think you're the main character in this sequel...?"

"Don't make a sound... let me sleep a little longer..."

"........."

Chapter 35: Instantly Killing the S-Class Behemoth Dragonborn

Ever since attending Adeline's birthday party, Lilith has become picky about food. If Amelia serves up a plate of boiled cabbage like before, she'll definitely get angry.

So, in order to satisfy Lilith's taste buds, Amelia began to teach herself cooking. After a few days, she had mastered most of the basic cooking skills.

Nowadays, Lilith's table may not have any delicacies, but it will never again have bland, tasteless boiled cabbage...

One day, Lilith was lying on her bed as usual, playing with her personal terminal and enjoying browsing interesting jokes online.

Just as I was having a good time, the screen of my personal terminal suddenly turned scarlet, and a line of text appeared on it:

[A behemoth, codenamed "Dragonborn," has attacked the Southwest 7th District. Roughly assessed as an S-rank behemoth, S-rank heroes are requested to proceed to the scene to evacuate refugees. Other S-rank heroes and above are requested to proceed to eliminate the target...]

Lilith was initially annoyed that her attention had been abruptly interrupted, but that annoyance vanished instantly upon seeing the text on the screen, replaced by a surge of joy:

"Great! The behemoth is here again, and this time it's an S-class behemoth!"

"Once I defeat it, I'm sure I'll gain a huge following. And once the side quest is complete, I won't have to put up with these guys anymore!"

As soon as Lilith finished speaking, Amelia perked up her ears. The word "giant beast" caught her attention, and her eyes lit up. She excitedly rushed to Lilith's side.

"Boss, are we going to fight monsters again? Do I need to transform into a dragon this time?"

“Of course,” Lilith replied affirmatively, but compared to the last time she fought the behemoth, she clearly had more to consider:

"I not only want you to become a dragon, but I also want you to use the most magnificent moves to kill the giant beast... Simply crushing the giant beast to death won't demonstrate our power, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Amelia's eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed:

"As expected of the boss! He even thought of this!"

"Hmph~ Of course!"

Lilith raised her head, said no more, and led Amelia out of the house to an open area. After transforming into a dragon, she rode it and flew towards the southwest 7th district.

There's actually a story behind turning Amelia into a dragon.

Lilith did not turn Amelia back to her original size, but instead shrunk her size by tens of thousands of times, from a length of 1,600 meters to a length of 70 meters. This was a process filled with heartache.

After all, in this megacity teeming with humans, if Amelia were still her original size, she could unintentionally kill countless people with a mere flap of her wings.

In order to continue to survive in this city, both Lilith and Amelia had to be extremely restrained. However, despite their restraint for so long, they still ultimately fell victim to this S-rank behemoth called [Dragonborn]...

In the southwest 7th district of the city, a colossal beast hundreds of meters tall is rampaging through the skies above the city. It has a bloated body, hard scales, a ferocious dragon head, and unusually large wings.

This black monster is none other than the S-class behemoth known as the Dragonborn.

The wind howled, and with each flap of the dragon's wings, a terrifying hurricane was unleashed. The hurricane uprooted trees, overturned cars, and even some older buildings collapsed instantly in the gale.

Within a minute of the appearance of the S-class behemoth Dragonborn, 38% of the area in the southwest 7th district of the city was destroyed. Fortunately, the nearby A-class heroes arrived in time to provide assistance, which prevented the casualty rate from becoming too severe.

But A-class heroes are no match for S-class behemoths. Most of the S-class heroes in the city have gone out on missions. Could it be that... there really is no one who can stop this S-class behemoth?

Yes, of course.

In the northeastern sky, a purple shadow, like a shooting star, swiftly crashed into the city ravaged by the S-class behemoth, the Dragonborn.

It was a purple dragon about seventy meters long. Compared to the bulky body of the dragon offspring, the purple dragon was slender and exuded a very obvious sense of power.

Above the giant purple dragon's head, Lilith stood there, looking at the bloated dragonborn in mid-air, staring back at it.

There were no words spoken, but the giant dragon beneath their feet opened its massive jaws, and the frenzied energy emanating from its body surpassed all words.

As an S-class behemoth, the Dragonborn naturally sensed the frenzied energy and immediately realized that the two uninvited guests were gathering a powerful attack.

Should we hide?

The Dragonborn's answer was "no." It had absolute confidence in its strength, after all, it was a genuine S-class behemoth, capable of destroying a city with a single unintentional action.

And the other side? Just an unknown nobody.

The dragonborn opened its mouth, and purplish-black energy particles condensed from the air began to gather in its mouth. This energy was very stable and did not show any signs of frenzy.

The Dragonborn stared at Lilith, a cruel smile playing on its narrow, amber eyes. It believed itself to be superior to Lilith and Amelia in terms of control over energy alone.

Unlike its attacks that gather energy from the air, Amelia continuously leaks energy before attacking, and the frenzied nature of the energy reveals that Amelia's control over energy is not strong.

And what about the Dragonborn? It has been micromanipulating energy from beginning to end, keeping it in a fragile but stable state as much as possible, and then actively breaking it when the energy is large enough.

At that time, the terrifying energy flow will destroy everything in its path, including Lilith and Amelia...

“It’s taken the bait, Amelia, now’s the time.”

On the head of the purple dragon, Lilith said these words. Upon hearing this, Amelia immediately stopped releasing energy, hurriedly flapped her wings, and the entire dragon instantly appeared behind the Dragonborn.

Before the dragonborn could react, Lilith raised her claw and slammed it to the ground, simultaneously opening her mouth to gather an attack and instantly launching a purple orb of light.

boom!

With a deafening roar, before the dragonborn even realized he was being attacked, his massive body slammed into the ground and was blasted to pieces by the ensuing dragon breath.

The heroes, who arrived late, were all shocked when they saw this scene.

What speed! What power! What astonishing speed! In just two moves, an S-class behemoth was instantly killed. Is this human or a monster?

The heroes didn't know just how strong Lilith was, but they did know that their side had produced an extraordinary individual.

High above, Superman's dad, who had just finished his mission and received news of a giant beast descending in the southwest 7th district of the city, stood there. He had witnessed the entire battle just now, and it was because of this that he understood Lilith's strength even more.

With his arms crossed and his cape fluttering, Daddy Superman watched as Lilith posed for photos atop the purple dragon's head after defeating the behemoth, and murmured softly:

"A guy who's out of control is really unsettling..."

Chapter 36: Good heavens! Public opinion has taken a sharp turn for the worse!

After killing the S-class behemoth Dragonborn with unparalleled power, the Dragon Knight's fame soared on the internet.

Those who initially thought Dragon Knight was just a slightly different hero began to learn more about him after discovering that his strength was comparable to an S+ level hero, and quickly became fans.

Within three days, Dragon Knight's total number of followers across various platforms exceeded one million, and the topic's popularity soared to ten million...

In the room assigned by League of Legends, Lilith lay on the bed, engrossed in browsing the overwhelming positive reviews online.

Nowadays, if you encounter unwarranted insults, you won't panic like before; instead, you can simply block and delete the person.

After all, someone with over a million followers across the internet shouldn't be upset over a single meaningless negative comment; it's not wise to lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain.

However, while Lilith was admiring the overwhelming praise, she noticed a strange comment. It wasn't unfounded abuse, but rather a well-founded accusation:

[With such strength, why didn't you arrive at the scene sooner? If you had arrived earlier, some people wouldn't have died, and the damage to the city could have been reduced further...]

Upon seeing this comment, Lilith was taken aback. It was indeed true, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

However, if this comment is left unchecked, it may provoke dissatisfaction among passersby and even generate negative feelings towards Lilith.

To become a popular hero, one must reject all discordant voices. So Lilith didn't think too much about it and simply deleted the comment, continuing to leisurely surf the internet.

I thought this matter would pass quickly, but unexpectedly, a few days later, instead of being drowned out on the internet, such voices intensified...

"What happened? My approval rating dropped from 21% yesterday to 18%. What's going on?"

That day, Lilith woke up and habitually opened her personal terminal, but unlike the overwhelming praise of the previous days, critical voices began to appear in the public eye.

These voices have turned some of Lilith's fans into skeptical neutrals, while neutral bystanders have seen their favorability towards Lilith plummet, with many wanting a reasonable explanation from her.

But how can this be explained? Lilith became a hero not to save people, but to complete side quest one, which is something that can't be told to anyone.

What about lying?

Once you tell the first lie, you'll inevitably tell a second and a third to cover it up, which is a bad approach.

Lilith chose to remain silent, a choice that only hastened her descent into the abyss.

Initially, Lilith's fans tried to explain themselves in the face of overwhelming accusations and questions. However, as the number of haters increased, their voices completely drowned out the fans' voices until they could no longer make a ripple.

Lilith witnessed all of this, and although she didn't want to see it happen, there was nothing she could do.

"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll complete side quest two before I even finish side quest one..."

Lilith frowned, looking helplessly at the negative reviews displayed on her personal terminal. Faced with this situation, there were practically only two solutions if she didn't resort to cheating.

Firstly, they openly play the victim, recounting their tragic family and experiences: a gambling father, a runaway mother, a baby sister, and other broken stories—in short, trying to gain as much sympathy as possible.

The second option is more complicated. Lilith would need to give up everything she had built up and withdraw from the public eye. Once the controversy has died down, she could then debut again under a different name. This is a common practice among many disgraced internet celebrities and artists.

"Which method should we use? Maybe we should try them both in order, since they don't conflict with each other..."

As Lilith thought this, she prepared to put it into practice, but before she could, she suddenly smelled a rich, salty-sweet aroma in the air. As the aroma entered her nasal cavity, her mouth began to secrete saliva like crazy, and she felt hungry.

"Boss, dinner's ready! Try my new recipe!"

Just then, Amelia, wearing a small apron, walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of braised eggplant in both hands. The enticing aroma clearly came from that plate of braised eggplant.

Seeing this, Lilith stopped thinking about the accusations and questions online, since her reputation was unlikely to improve in the short term anyway.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

After those words popped into her mind, Lilith dropped her personal terminal, put on her slippers, and went to the living room.

Looking at the steaming plate of braised eggplant on the table, Lilith eagerly picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

The eggplant melted in her mouth, its perfect salty and savory flavor making Lilith's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but gulp down several mouthfuls of rice.

"Really delicious."

Lily didn't hold back her praise; those three simple words made Amelia, who was smiling beside her, blush. After a moment of fluster, she lowered her head and whispered in response:

"I'll keep working hard, boss..."

And so, Lilith happily finished her meal with braised eggplant. Afterwards, she patted her belly and lay contentedly on the bed, like a lazy salted fish that didn't want to turn over.

The soft clinking of porcelain reached her ears, and before her stood a spotless ceiling. At times like these, Lilith would think:
