I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

"Walk slowly."

And so, Lilith watched Superman leave. Only after Superman stepped out of the house and flew further and further away from Lilith's perception range did Lilith return to her usual lazy demeanor.

After climbing back into bed, Lilith didn't immediately touch her personal terminal. Instead, the story that Daddy Superman had told her kept replaying in her mind.

Although she didn't know why, Lilith's intuition kept telling her: there was something wrong with what she said, and the truth was not like that.

But so what? At least Daddy Superman didn't show any malice towards Lilith. Everyone can have their own secrets, and this is understandable.

So Lilith only paid a little attention to it and didn't focus too much on it. She turned over in bed and reached for her personal terminal.

The screen lit up, and Lilith habitually glanced at the message list first. Adeline had sent several unread messages, probably forwarded posts again.

Lilith glanced at them casually; most of them were old-fashioned dirty jokes, which would only be interesting to someone like Adeline, who was full of real life. For Lilith, who spent her days surfing the internet at high intensity, they couldn't even make her smile.

Next, Lilith idly scrolled through the posts on the homepage, her fingertips swiping across the screen absentmindedly, but soon her fingers stopped.

Messages popped up on the screen one after another, quickly reaching 99+.

Lilith was startled, and a possibility quickly surfaced in her mind:

[While Daddy's post briefly silenced the doubts, they've resurfaced, and judging by the momentum, they might be even stronger than before...]

Thinking of this, Lilith felt helpless. If even her father, Superman, couldn't save her, then she would have no choice but to debut under a different identity.

Reluctantly clicking on the message interface, Lilith glanced at it casually and discovered that these messages were not the doubts and questions she had imagined, but rather a uniform collection of praise and compliments.

"What's going on? Shouldn't I be cyberbullied? What's with these comments?"

Lilith was completely baffled by this scene, and at that moment, Adeline sent her a message:

[Wow! Lilith, your post got retweeted by Daddy Superman! How did you do that?! Teach me!!]

Upon seeing the message, Lilith was taken aback. She then jumped back to the search interface and searched for "Super Daddy". Soon, Super Daddy's account appeared at the top, with an official blue verification icon in the lower right corner.

Upon clicking, the first thing you see is a post that Superman's dad retweeted a few minutes ago. The original post was a self-introduction video that Lilith filmed after killing the first giant beast.

The post was fairly popular, bringing Lilith her initial group of fans. But now, the post has gone viral, simply because Daddy Superman retweeted it.

Not only that, he also wrote in the caption: "Energetic young people, that's great."

Lilith blinked.

Blinked again.

The next second, her personal terminal turned into an alarm clock, ringing incessantly.

Lilith opened her profile page and found that her number of followers, which was originally stuck at 500,000, was increasing at a visible rate: 510,000, 520,000, 530,000, until it started to slow down at 600,000.

Lilith was somewhat stunned by this, and murmured:

"This guy is actually pretty good..."

Chapter 39: The Origin of the Giant Beasts?

Two weeks have passed, and the frequency of the behemoths' appearances has been increasing. Lilith is taking this opportunity to boost her popularity.

However, with the return of S-class heroes who were on missions abroad, Lilith has fewer and fewer opportunities to take action, and her popularity has been difficult to increase significantly. To date, Lilith's total number of fans across the internet is only around 2.5 million.

But Lilith was not discouraged. With her long lifespan, she could outlive all the veteran heroes and then slowly gain their fans.

As long as Lilith's reputation doesn't collapse or any scandals emerge, completing the side quest is just a matter of time.

As it happens, Lilith has no shortage of time...

Several more days passed, and almost all the S-class heroes who were on missions outside returned to the super city. They gathered at the very top of the League of Legends headquarters pyramid building, in a conference room that only S-class heroes had the authority to enter.

In the completely enclosed space, the incandescent lights overhead illuminated the faces of the sixteen heroes present. Some of them looked excited, some frowned, and most were expressionless.

In the decades since the founding of League of Legends, S-tier heroes have been given extremely difficult missions. They not only have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people, but also completely drive out the behemoths and return the world to humanity.

The giant beasts did not suddenly appear at a certain point in time; they have always existed on Earth and were the first life forms created by the gods themselves.

However, although the giant beasts possessed great strength, they were not very intelligent, so the gods quickly lost interest in them and banished them to the underground.

Afterwards, the gods used the giant beasts as a template to create demons, which not only possessed the power of the giant beasts but also had extraordinary intelligence.

However, the devil's cunning disgusted the gods, so the gods once again drove the devil underground and created a third group of life: humans.

Although humans do not possess the strength of giant beasts, they have inherited the wisdom of demons. They know how to please the gods, build altars, and perform sacrifices.

Thus, humanity survived.

This peace lasted until the gods grew tired of humanity and left Earth to cultivate new life on other planets.

Humanity gained freedom, but the giant beasts and demons lurking beneath the earth began to stir.

Roughly a century ago, when human space technology was just beginning to develop, the first giant beast burst out of the earth and purposefully destroyed the weapons arsenal of a certain major power. This was followed by the second and the third.

Humanity was forced to retreat under the onslaught of the behemoths, eventually huddled in the megacity, barely surviving. But now, thanks to the efforts of the S-class heroes, the passage between the underground and the surface has finally been found. As long as the passage is sealed, the behemoths can be prevented from reaching the surface.

That passage is located in the Mariana Trench...

The S-class heroes all looked at the head of the conference room, where Superman's father, dressed in a blue and white suit, sat calmly like a mountain.

Superman is not only one of the five founders of League of Legends, but also the backbone of many S-class heroes. As long as Superman gives the order, they will rush into the Mariana Trench one after another, risking their lives to sever the two worlds of the underground and the surface.

Superman's father was fully aware of this, but instead of immediately devising a battle plan, he calmly looked at the heroes and sincerely expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you all for your hard work, and for your continued sacrifices and dedication..."

After he finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a few seconds.

Sixteen S-class heroes stared at Superman's father; some instinctively straightened their backs, while others couldn't help but smile.

Superman's dad ignored these changes in expression. He placed his hands on the table, folded over each other, and spoke in a calm tone, as if he were having a conversation:

"I will personally lead this operation, with the goal of permanently isolating the underground and surface worlds."

According to exploration data, the target location is at a depth of over 11,000 meters, with a water pressure of 1,100 MPa, a temperature close to freezing, and signs of large-scale animal activity around the passage.

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“I will select suitable candidates from among you to enter the Mariana Trench, while the rest will remain on the surface to deal with any remaining fish.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a red-haired woman sitting on the left side of the long table frowned. Her name was Yan Ji, and her ability was to control flames. Her most dazzling achievement was crossing the north and south ends of the super city in five minutes and burning two S-class behemoths with flames.

She clearly had doubts about Superman's arrangements:

"Dad, I don't understand. What do you mean by 'the rest of the people are stationed on the surface'? Didn't we rush back for this operation?"

"That's it."

A burly man with metallic skin sitting next to her also spoke. His hero codename was Iron Man; even with his entire body transformed into steel, he could still maintain normal physiological functions. He said:

“It took me three days to get back, and I absolutely will not agree to participate in the operation.”

Superman's father remained silent, as if waiting for the two to finish speaking.

Seeing this, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. She said:

"Dad, you should give us an explanation! Everyone here is an exceptional expert, one in a million. We're all waiting for your answer."

"Because the Mariana Trench is more than just a battlefield."

Father Superman finally spoke, explaining:

"That is the most extreme environment known on Earth. What does an 11,000-meter-deep water depth mean? It means that every square centimeter of your body will be subjected to more than a ton of pressure."

"Flame Princess, what can your so-called flames do in that environment? Iron Man, your body can indeed withstand water pressure, but you're still human. How long can your iron lungs hold your breath?"

After these words were spoken, no one responded, and the conference room was so quiet that only the faint hum of the overhead incandescent bulbs could be heard.

Superman's father stood up, his massive frame slightly hunched, as if bearing a tremendous responsibility.

"I know, I know you all want to leave a lasting mark on history, but that's contingent on our success."

As the leader of this operation, I am responsible for the lives of each and every one of you. If I knowingly take you down into the deep sea, knowing your abilities are not suited to the environment, what difference would that be from murder?

Upon hearing this, Yan Ji opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Her flames were completely useless in the face of the deep sea, a problem she had never considered.

After all, since her debut, her success has been unstoppable. With her dazzling achievements, she arrogantly believed that she was invincible. But now, reality has poured cold water on her and forced her to wake up.

Superman Daddy stopped looking at her and instead turned his gaze to everyone present. There was no blame in his eyes, only a kind of weary concern.

"I do not want to see any of you die. Rather than die meaninglessly, I would rather you witness a new world."

That's precisely why I can't let you die in vain. The megacity needs you; you are fighting too, fighting for the future of humanity.

silence.

A long silence.

In the end, Flame Princess lowered her proud head, Iron Man fell silent, and no one questioned Superman's father anymore...

Chapter 40: Give the streamer a follow!

Superman's dad sat back down and began to arrange the selection of people to participate in the mission. There were only five people selected, each of whom was a hero who could maintain combat capabilities in the deep sea.

Those whose names were called showed no joy, and those whose names were not called showed no dissatisfaction. A subtle sense of oppression permeated the meeting room, as if even the air itself had frozen.

After the meeting, the heroes left the meeting room one after another, their footsteps fading into the distance in the corridor.

Alone in the enclosed space at the top of the pyramid, the incandescent light overhead cast a long shadow of Superman.

He remained in his original sitting position for a long time, until the corridor fell silent again, until the brightness of the incandescent light bulb decreased by one lumen.

Superman's dad knew very well that there were far too few people to carry out this mission.

With just five people, plus him, there are only six of them. In the Mariana Trench, which is teeming with giant beasts, let alone blocking the passage connecting to the underground world, they might not even be able to withstand the beasts' attacks.

This team urgently needs more combat power. It doesn't need to be super strong, just enough to buy a few more seconds to block the passage.

However, the deep sea is the domain of giant beasts, where humans are naturally at a disadvantage. Therefore, blocking the passage requires not only combat power, but also the right to move freely in the deep sea.

There are very few talents in this field in the entire League of Legends community.

He needs someone who can maintain a stable output in extremely high-pressure environments.

No, it's not necessarily a person.

Superman's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, his thoughts drifting back to the scene not long ago when he met the "girl riding on a dragon's head".
