"I'm sure."

Lilith nodded, while Amelia behind her remained silent. Once the fish was cooked, she lifted the lid, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out...

Chapter 42: Boarding

Faced with Lilith's insistence, Superman's father had no choice but to compromise:

"...Okay, come find me at the League of Legends headquarters in two days."

Lilith grinned, and having succeeded, she didn't mention the matter again, immediately changing the subject:

"Stay for dinner before you go. I bet Amelia's cooking won't disappoint you."

"No need."

Lilith's words reminded Superman's father, who first declined her offer, then said:

"I still need to gather more heroes who can prove their worth in the deep sea... We'll have to try them another time."

After saying that, Superman's dad didn't turn around. Instead, he lifted his feet off the ground by one centimeter and quickly moved out of Lilith's house. The wind made the door slam shut, just like Los Ferrato.

Seeing this, Lilith shrugged and turned to have dinner with Amelia...

Two days passed quickly, and when Lilith and Amelia arrived at the League of Legends headquarters as promised, Daddy Superman was already waiting in the lobby.

He was still wearing that blue and white combat suit, with the red cape hanging limply on his back, vaguely revealing his strong back muscles, and he exuded an aura of mystery and awe.

"Come with me."

Superman's father spoke calmly, then turned and led the way for the two.

Lilith pouted, grabbed Amelia, and followed. Soon they passed through the pyramid structure and arrived at the back, where there was a huge open space. Many staff members in yellow vests were maintaining order, and there were also armed guards on patrol.

The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the sleek, dark gray transport plane on the tarmac. It was huge and silent, and even though Lilith wasn't interested in this type of vehicle, she was still willing to pay attention to it.

After her gaze lingered on the giant transport plane for a few seconds, Lilith noticed that there were seven strangely shaped figures standing below it.

Fishmen, orcs, little giants, and one that, no matter how you look at it, isn't human at all.

Lilith's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but think to herself:

"Luckily, this is a world rich in species. If I encountered these things in another world, I would definitely treat them as monsters to farm..."

At this moment, Superman's father, leading Lilith and Amelia, walked straight towards the direction where the seven were, saying:

"Before we begin, I need to introduce you to your teammates. Only by understanding them can you entrust your backs to them with peace of mind during the subsequent battles."

The first thing that catches the eye is a bloated fellow with translucent gray-blue skin, like that of a deep-sea fish. In addition, his eyes are large and black, almost taking up half of his face, and there are three pairs of cheeks below his eyes, which are rhythmically opening and closing slightly with his breathing.

"This is an S-class hero... Deep Sea. He can move freely in any water pressure environment, has the ability to control marine life and create ocean currents, and is a true Aquaman."

Superman's dad calmly and methodically introduced the monster to Lilith.

Upon hearing this, Lilith looked at the deep sea, and the deep sea looked back at Lilith. When their eyes met, Lilith gasped.

"Is this a person?"

Upon hearing this, Shenhai was taken aback, then his face showed displeasure, and he exclaimed:

"How rude! My body is designed to adapt to the deep-sea environment. Do you think I wanted to be swollen like this on land?"

Lilith shrank back, too ashamed to argue with this strange-looking fellow, and could only look away, whispering:

"Feel sorry……"

Seeing Lilith's timid and adorable appearance, even the deepest anger vanished without a trace. He sighed and waved his hand:

"Just be more careful next time."

After getting to know the Deep Sea, Superman's dad immediately introduced the next hero.

Compared to the bizarre shapes of the deep sea, this guy seemed normal, yet not quite normal, because this middle-aged man in a white training uniform had an unusually large head, as if he had grown up eating Sanlu milk powder.

Upon seeing this guy, a certain game character suddenly popped into Lilith's mind, and she almost instinctively spoke:

"Is that you, Dr. Zombie King?"

This sentence received no response whatsoever; of course, it would be a miracle if it did…

"This person is called Qi Master, an S-class hero. His ability is telekinesis, and his maximum power output can lift an object weighing about one million tons."

"One million tons?"

Lilith's eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed in disbelief. You should know that when Amelia was still the Executioner Dragon, she weighed only 1.8 million tons.

The ability to lift half of Executioner Dragon with telekinesis—such power is terrifying...

"This is the Watcher."

Just as Lilith was pondering how many air masters she would need to lift herself, whose weight was measured in tens of millions of tons, Superman's dad introduced the largest of the seven.

Standing at approximately three meters tall, he possesses a well-proportioned yet not thin physique, with full muscles and defined lines, resembling a statue sculpted by a top Greek craftsman, exuding the most primal beauty.

Superman's dad introduced:

"The Watcher, apart from not being able to fly, has physical strength second only to me. He can fight at high intensity for seven hours while holding his breath."

As Superman's father introduced him, Watchman lowered his head, met Lilith's gaze, and said nothing. He simply nodded slightly to Lilith as a greeting.

The remaining four were introduced one by one by Superman's father: Mr. Belief, who believed he could do anything; the mermaid boy who could turn into Leviathan by touching seawater; Mundo, who could go wherever he wanted; and Charles Leclerc.

Lilith's gaze swept over the four people one by one, silently noting their corresponding code names and abilities.

At this point, Superman's father declared loudly:

"Now that everyone is here, let's board the plane."

After he finished speaking, the rear door of the transport plane slowly lowered, and the group of people boarded the plane in an orderly manner.

The cabin interior was converted into a makeshift command center, with a row of fixed seats on both sides and a holographic projection screen suspended in the center.

Lilith led Amelia to a window seat and sat down without saying a word. After the engine roared louder and the fuselage trembled slightly, it slowly took off.

"Let's get down to business now."

Superman's dad stands in front of a holographic screen, which displays a three-dimensional map of the seabed. An extremely deep trench runs through the center of the image, with its depth data increasing layer by layer, dropping from several thousand meters to below eleven thousand meters, which is extremely terrifying.

"The Mariana Trench, Challenger Deep section, this is the entrance to the underground world. Detection has shown that the passage is over three hundred meters in diameter, and the giant beasts that appear all over the world every day come from here..."

As Superman's father finished speaking, a series of blurry photos appeared on the screen, mostly aerial shots of the sea, in which the shadows of giant beasts could be seen.

Ninety percent of these photos were taken in the Pacific Ocean, and seventy percent were taken in the Philippine Sea (the area where the Mariana Trench is located)...

Chapter 43: Descent

"In order to block this 300-meter-diameter channel, our research team synthesized two special proteins based on eel mucus: water-binding silk protein and water-coagulating mucin."

Mixing two proteins at a ratio of 1:1000 requires only one gram, which can convert one ton of seawater into a shear-thickening hydrogel (a non-Newtonian fluid) in one second.

In this way, by converting all the seawater inside the passage into a shear-thickening hydrogel, the underground world can be essentially blocked. If further reinforcement is desired, the section of the Challenger Abyss can be reinforced later…”

While introducing the plan to block the passage, Superman's dad switched the screen to an experimental video. The video showed a researcher adding a drop of liquid to a glass tank in front of him, and the entire tank of seawater almost instantly turned into a white, translucent gel-like substance.

The researchers then left the scene, and a fully armed combatant appeared on screen. Without any words or introduction, the combatant pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and aimed it at the seawater that had been transformed into a shear-thickening hydrogel.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of the bullet bouncing off and embedding itself in the wall.

"The Qi Sect's telekinetic abilities can perform micrometer-level manipulations, so the battle plan is:"

The Qi Master was responsible for releasing the Binding Water Silk Protein and Coagulating Water Mucus Protein in the correct proportions. I was responsible for protecting him until the entire passage was sealed off, while the rest of us were responsible for preventing the giant beasts that had already reached the surface from getting closer.

Prior to this, Qi Master had already conducted a simulation with me. Under ideal conditions, it would take approximately seven minutes to completely seal the entire passage using this method.

As he spoke, Superman's father glanced at the nine people in front of him. Apart from the roar of the transport plane's engine, the place was completely quiet.

Seven minutes is nothing to anyone on land, but what about at a depth of 11,000 meters underwater? Seven minutes is undoubtedly an extremely long time.

During those seven minutes, the heroes not only had to withstand 1,100 megapascals of water pressure, but also had to fight against an unknown number of giant beasts. A moment's carelessness could cost them their lives.

But no one regretted their choice. More than death, they were worried about mission failure and the destruction of the civilization that countless people had protected in their hands...

After a long silence, the transport plane finally reached an altitude of 3,000 meters above the Mariana Trench. The moment the cabin door opened, the salty sea breeze rushed into the cabin.

Superman's dad arrived at the edge of the hatch, carrying two iron cans containing binding silk protein and coagulating mucin on his back. Looking down, the sea was dark black, like an abyss.

"let's go."

Without saying anything more, Superman's dad put a hand on Qi Zong's shoulder and jumped out of the hatch with him.

During free fall, the Qi Master immediately uses his telekinetic powers to create two layers of barriers for himself. The first barrier is used to cushion the impact, and the second barrier is used to support his entire body.

But Superman's father did nothing; he has always been so confident in his physical strength.

The two plunged into the water with a "whoosh," and were swallowed by the sea before the huge splash could even form.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...

The two descended rapidly, and as the depth increased, the pressure from all sides became more and more obvious. Superman's dad glanced at the Airbender next to him and saw him nod at him. The communicator then came the reply, "No problem."

On the transport plane, Lilith and Amelia rushed to the hatch before everyone else, glanced down, and felt no fear, only a little excitement at the imminent completion of the first side quest.

"Are you ready?"

Lilith asked this question, and Amelia nodded vigorously beside her:

"Ready, boss!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Amelia leaped out of the hatch, instantly transforming into a purple sphere of light that expanded continuously. When the sphere reached a certain size, it shattered with a "crash," revealing a hundred-meter-long dragon.

After Lilith leaped onto the dragon's head, Amelia folded her wings and, like a purple shooting star, slammed Lilith into the sea.

Subsequently, the remaining six heroes went into the sea one after another...

For a long time afterward, the only sound on the communication channel was the breathing of the people; no one spoke.

It wasn't until Superman's dad sensed something was wrong that he heard no sound, but he could clearly feel the water being pushed against him by some enormous object.

"A giant beast has appeared." Superman's father said calmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the darkness was shattered.

It was a giant beast that resembled a lizard, over sixty meters long, with a flat head and six rows of jet-black eyes on either side of its head. The beast had no fins, its limbs were tightly pressed against its belly, and its body twisted more like a bloated snake.

At that moment, it happened to have its eyes on Superman's father and the Qi Master.
