And so, their paths crossed, they got to know each other, gradually fell in love, and eventually married and had children...
Fortunately, I will die as a hero.
With that thought in mind, Superman's father flew with all his might as he faced the countless giant beasts pouring out of the tunnel, starting at Mach 1 and continuing to increase his speed.
At such extreme speed, the seawater was forcibly torn apart, and a layer of supercavitation immediately enveloped Superman's entire body.
Without any fancy moves, relying on flight speeds several times the speed of sound and ridiculously strong physical abilities, the giant beasts crumbled like tofu the moment they came into contact with Superman.
As Superman's father slaughtered the giant beasts, clumps of white, semi-transparent substance gradually drifted down from above the passage, replacing the seawater within it.
Before long, the translucent substance almost filled the entire passage, but that was far from enough.
Superman's dad casually grabbed a clump of shear-thickening hydrogel that was about to fall on his shoulder, squeezed it hard, and the translucent substance slipped through his fingers.
Without a container to hold it in place, shear-thickening hydrogels offer no protection whatsoever. Therefore, the shear-thickening hydrogel must fill the channels, using the channels as its container, in order to provide protection.
"Keep pushing, this isn't enough."
Superman said this in the channel. After hearing this, Qi Zong remained silent, but the speed at which he converted the shear-thickening hydrogel increased slightly.
Soon, the shear-thickening hydrogel filled the passage completely, leaving Superman with nowhere to retreat but to enter the underground world.
This is a space filled with a ghostly blue liquid, with blue fluorescence spreading throughout the world. Looking around, you can see many mountains that have fallen to the sky, and on these mountains, ugly giant beasts cling to them, emitting low-frequency roars.
Countless behemoths attacked, and demons lurked in the shadows, waiting for their chance. Although the behemoths and demons could not pose a threat to Superman's father in the short term, in the endless war of attrition, Superman's father's death had already become a foregone conclusion...
Outside the passage, on the surface world, after the Qi Clan sealed the passage, the heroes also killed the last giant beast in the outside world. Faced with the outcome of only Superman's father dying, everyone fell silent.
At this point, Lilith, who had been slacking off, couldn't sit still any longer. She remembered very clearly how Superman's dad had helped to refute the rumors online.
Lilith is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since Superman's father had helped her before, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
So, risking exposure, Lilith secretly added another patch to her summoner persona, and then used her powers to actively retrieve Superman Daddy from the underground world...
Chapter 46: Mission a Complete Success
How hard is it to accept your own death? Superman's father couldn't answer that question, but he knew that if he didn't die here, the people he cherished would die because of him.
To prevent this ending from becoming a reality, Superman's father willingly became the sole sacrifice of this mission. Even if he died in the underground world and was devoured by giant beasts and demons after death, he had no complaints.
However, just as Superman's father was preparing to face death, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, like an electric current running through him.
He frowned and looked around, trying to find the source of the anomaly, but his situation had changed dramatically.
In the underground world, everywhere is filled with liquids that emit a blue fluorescence. These liquids are not icy cold; compared to the Challenger Deep section of the Mariana Trench, they can even be described as warm.
This is because the underground world is located deep within the Earth's crust, where radioactive elements continuously release heat but have nowhere to go, resulting in a higher temperature deep within the crust compared to the surface.
Now, everything has changed. Superman's dad, who used to be able to see clearly through the blue fluorescent liquid, can now see nothing at all, and even the slightest warmth around him has been taken away.
This sudden change plunged Superman's father into despair, leaving him feeling utterly disheartened.
He knew very well that he was in the underground world, and the only thing that could have put him in this situation was a giant beast or a demon.
The fact that even he couldn't detect how the enemy attacked him meant that the beast/demon was incredibly powerful.
Even though the invasion of the giant beasts has been temporarily stopped, they will soon return to the surface.
[Before that, I must do something...]
The thought crossed Superman's mind. He had long considered himself dead, and the reason he was still alive was to do more useful things before he died.
Just as he was thinking about how to find the mastermind behind it all, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in the channel. It was Lilith:
"Welcome back, Dad."
When words tinged with joy reached his ears, Superman's father was stunned, his mind going blank. Lilith's words also surprised the other heroes.
The heroes were puzzled as to why Lilith would say such a thing, but the Deep Sea and the Qi Sect discovered that the density of what was originally just a patch of seawater had increased dramatically, a density that was clearly not something that ordinary creatures could possess.
It's not a giant beast, not a demon, not a superhuman, or an unknown fish. This kind of body density has only been seen on one person:... Superman Daddy.
Overjoyed, they immediately shouted in the channel:
"Dad! You're not dead!"
Upon hearing this, Superman's father immediately snapped out of his daze and realized that he hadn't been hit by an enemy's attack; he had simply returned to the surface of the earth.
But that doesn't make sense.
As Superman's father remained silent, more heroes discovered this blind spot. Given Superman's father's recent situation, his chances of survival were almost zero. So how did he get out?
At this moment, Lilith suddenly coughed twice in the channel to attract everyone's attention, and then spoke smugly:
"Don't overthink it. I'm the one who saved him. How about that? Isn't that amazing?"
After this was said, there was a moment of silence in the channel before Daddy Superman finally spoke up and asked:
"So, how did I get back here? What did you do?"
Lilith smiled:
"I forgot to tell you, as a summoner, I can not only summon familiars to fight in my place, but I can also temporarily form contracts with things in the real world to summon them..."
"You mean, when you contacted Superman's father, you temporarily made a contract with him, which is how you summoned him from the underground world?"
"Of course!"
As Lilith readily admitted it, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Lilith was on this mission; otherwise… Daddy Superman might really have died here.
After learning the reason for what happened, Superman's father sincerely thanked Lilith. Then, the group returned to the surface and began their journey back to the super city.
As soon as everyone returned to the megacity, they immediately launched an unprecedented press conference. Under countless cameras and spotlights, and under countless expectant eyes, Superman's father and all the heroes who participated in this operation stood in a row and said:
"For a long time, humanity has lived under the threat of giant beasts and demons. The land that belongs to humanity has been attacked and taken away little by little. But from this moment on, I declare... the world belongs to humanity again."
Upon hearing this, people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and cultures erupted in deafening cheers. The heroes who participated in this operation were regarded as idols by everyone, including Lilith, of course.
Enjoying the admiring gazes of the crowd, Lilith was overjoyed. Suppressing her joy, she adopted the composed demeanor befitting a "superhero who has just saved the world" and silently basked in the adoration.
Not long after, a crisp system notification sounded in Lilith's mind. When she opened the task panel, she saw the word "Completed" appear after the first side quest.
Seeing this, Lilith's eyes curved into crescents, and she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. After completing the most difficult side quest one, isn't completing the main quest and side quest two easy?
After the press conference ended, the world did not immediately return to normal. At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the passage was merely filled with shear-thickening hydrogel, which could only temporarily block the passage connecting to the underground world.
To permanently seal it off, an entire construction team equipped with oxygen masks, under the protection of the Air Cult, reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The Air Cult used telekinesis to construct an absolutely solid cavity on the seabed, allowing the construction team to build a monumental project there.
Meanwhile, the other heroes were not idle either. The passage being sealed off only meant that no new behemoths would appear, but before that, many behemoths had come to the surface. After destroying human cities and countries, they wandered aimlessly around the world.
To reclaim these lands, heroes must defeat these behemoths. Led by Daddy Superman, these heroes, centered around the super city, continuously clear away the roaming behemoths in the vicinity, and the expansion of the super city is also on the agenda.
The special system that originally formed under the apocalypse has gradually begun to give way to the new era. The prototype of the Human Federation was born, and it has gradually improved various human-centered systems.
Everything in the world is moving in a positive direction, but Lilith is troubled by this. After becoming a hero worthy of being recorded in history, Lilith has many ways to complete the side quest "Second Infamy".
Whether it's indulging in pleasure, vying for power, or changing her identity to become the BOSS, Lilith could easily accomplish the infamous mission. However, the main mission—killing the Star Destroyer-class superman Bai Weishov who invaded Earth—remains completely elusive.
However, judging from the plot developments in anime or novels, after the main characters resolve the disaster on Earth, aliens should be coming to invade Earth.
Maybe this alien is even related to a giant beast/demon by blood.
Lilith pondered for a while, then stopped racking her brains and decided to complete side quest two first, and then figure out a way to complete the main quest...
Chapter 47: Superman's Real Name
Lilith went to great lengths to go from being renowned to infamous.
As a public figure, instead of joining his father in dealing with the giant monsters scattered around the world, he spends all his time at home playing with his personal terminal and using his live streaming account to connect with other streamers.
The live stream content was completely devoid of substance and quality; it was mostly just tormenting the host or engaging in grandstanding about the construction and policies of the Human Federation, bordering on anti-humanitarian.
Even so, the Human Federation turned a blind eye to Lilith's behavior and had no intention of managing it.
As a hero who participated in sealing the passage between the underground world and the surface world, people have a very high tolerance for Lilith.
This puzzled Lilith greatly:
"What's going on? Before, I would get attacked by the whole internet for being late in saving people, but now these troublemakers are so tolerant of me? Are they playing favorites against me?!"
As she spoke, Lilith rolled over on the bed in dissatisfaction, then scratched her hair, looking quite troubled:
"It seems that nowadays, no matter what I do, I'll be forgiven. I can only change my identity and do bad things secretly..."
With that in mind, Lilith began to prepare precautions for doing bad things. But after thinking it over, the only bad thing she could think of was randomly cursing people online. But could that really make her infamous?
That obviously won't work!
After another round of deep thought, Lilith came up with another idea: if the ordinary methods didn't work, she would transform into the form of a giant beast and bring a small disaster to the megacity.
As long as enough damage is caused, one can accomplish a task that makes them infamous.
However, this would inevitably harm innocent people. Lilith is not a lunatic; she certainly couldn't harm ordinary people without any psychological pressure.
So Lilith fell into confusion again, and could only pick up her personal terminal and start surfing the internet to kill time. Anyway, with her current status, she could be said to be the emperor of the internet, and she could do whatever she wanted without anyone interfering.
As usual, upon entering the forum, the first post caught Lilith's attention. The post's title was:
[Shocking! Superman's son is bullied at school and, in order to protect himself, is forced to reveal his father's name]
When Lilith clicked on the post, she saw a rather thin young man. Although his features resembled those of Superman's father, he didn't seem to have inherited Superman's abilities.
"Is this really Superman's child? I never thought he'd be bullied. If I were him, I'd announce it to the whole school on the first day of school..."
Lilith shook her head slightly, not paying much attention to it. Her attention was quickly drawn to the post titled "[A group of sows are lining up to fall into the river]", which she read with great interest…
Not long after, a message notification sound suddenly rang out. Lilith looked over and saw that the guy with the nickname [Adeline] had sent her several messages.
Upon clicking through, you'll see Adeline say:
"Did you see that post? Superman's kid was being bullied. If he hadn't revealed Superman's name to protect himself, who would have known he was Superman's kid?"
"This shows that Daddy Superman has been raising his son well, preventing him from becoming a bully. It just shows that Daddy Superman is too modest..."
"Did you know that? Some netizens found out the identity of Superman's dad by digging into the child's identity and home address. It seems he was a government employee."
"And another thing, I finally know Superman's real name! If it weren't for the school bullies bullying Superman's kids, I probably would never have known. Maybe I should thank them... Can I really say that, haha?"
Looking at the series of messages Adeline sent her, Lilith felt somewhat helpless. As a normal person, she simply couldn't understand this fanatical mentality.
And Adeline's last sentence was dangerous! She's a hero, is it really okay to say that? It seems that idol worship really can make people lose their minds.
Lilith shook her head slightly, and to make sure Adeline, who was constantly sending messages, didn't feel ignored, she casually replied:
