As he spoke, Superman grabbed Lilith and shot into the sky with a "boom," crashing through the roof and soaring into the clouds at Mach 7, with the speed increasing exponentially.

A few seconds later, the two arrived at an altitude of 50,000 meters, where there is almost no oxygen and the extremely low air pressure can rupture internal organs in a short time, causing death within minutes.

Even so, Lilith remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened, with Superman's father gripping her neck.

Seeing this, Superman's dad lost his composure and began to panic:

"What's going on? Why aren't you dead yet? Even at tens of thousands of meters apart, the shared defense ability is still effective? This shouldn't be..."

Superman's dad murmured, then took Lilith and flew north. In just over ten seconds, the land changed from desert to grassland, then from grassland to sea, and finally settled on a glacier.

In the Arctic, Superman's dad crashed into a glacier with Lilith. The only sound they heard was the crashing sound of ice breaking apart. Even so, Lilith was unharmed.

"What on earth is going on? Why can't I kill you?!"

Seeing Lilith's unchanging expression, Daddy Superman finally felt uneasy. He could only use both hands to tightly grip Lilith's neck, muttering:

"If you don't want to suffer in vain, then just die honestly. Does it really have to be this way? I didn't want it to come to this..."

However, Lilith was completely unharmed and even managed to open her mouth and utter a few words.

Superman's dad didn't hear what Lilith was saying. Before he could even think about it, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He was forced to stop what he was doing and looked down to see a small fist piercing through his abdomen, the splattered blood staining his suit.

Before Daddy could react, one of his little hands transformed into a chop, and with a swing of his other little hand, it sliced ​​him in half like a pair of scissors.

With a crisp cracking sound of bones breaking, the excruciating pain was replaced by a tingling sensation. He tried hard to see who was behind him, but his head inevitably slammed into the ice.

Before his consciousness faded into darkness, he heard only one sentence:

"Execution successful, boss."

"Thanks for your hard work……"

As Lilith spoke, she then silently watched Superman's father die quickly after being cut in half at the waist. She had wanted to take the opportunity to ask him some questions, but she didn't expect Superman's father to die so easily... even though humans don't die immediately after being cut in half at the waist.

"It must be because aliens have different physical constitutions than humans."

As Lilith thought this, the notification sound of mission completion rang in her mind, even though she had the ability to revive Superman's father at this moment and ask those questions.

But now that things have come to this, these questions are no longer important. Moreover, Lilith will not only not resurrect Superman's father, but will also use his death to complete the second side quest.

You see, apart from Lilith, no one knew that Superman's father was an alien invader. In other people's eyes, he was still a great hero worthy of being recorded in the history of human civilization. And now, this hero has been killed by Lilith.

No matter how much popularity, prestige, or power Lilith had accumulated, it would all vanish...

"Boss, are you alright?"

At this moment, Amelia's voice interrupted Lilith's thoughts. Lilith was about to reply "I'm fine" when she noticed that after Daddy Superman died, her heart was beating faster than usual, and her chest was heaving more.

Tension, fear, unease... these emotions unconsciously lingered in Lilith's mind. She thought of Superman's wife, Adeline who admired Superman, and the first time she met Superman.

These memories, like sharp thorns, kept piercing Lilith's body. She was surprised to discover that she didn't actually want to kill Superman. If it weren't for the main quest, Lilith would have chosen to persuade Superman instead of killing him.

However, guided by the mission, she had to kill Superman's father, a task she was forced to do against her will, which Lilith loathed.

Looking at Superman's lifeless body, Lilith clenched her fists tighter and tighter. At that moment, she made up her mind:

"This is the last time. From now on, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do..."

After speaking, Lilith let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Amelia and asked a strange question.

"Can you take photos using a personal device?"

Amelia was a little confused by this strange question, but she quickly answered:

"meeting."

"That's good."

Lilith casually picked up her personal terminal from 100,000 miles away, handed it to Amelia, and then went to pose next to Superman's father's corpse.

Chong Amelia said:

"Find a secluded spot and take a complete picture of me and him. Remember, the image can be shaky and partially obscured, but the subject must be prominent."

After listening to Lilith's words, Amelia nodded emphatically:

"Don't worry, boss! I'll definitely film it well!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Amelia ran to the side and began to prepare evidence for the "Arctic man's chance encounter with a murder scene"...

Subsequently, a newly registered user on Tieba posted a thread titled: Shocking! Dragon Knight's Arctic Attempt to Lure and Kill Superman's Daddy!

The post was from a guy who called himself an Arctic person. He claimed that while he was walking in the Arctic, he encountered Lilith the Dragon Knight killing Superman's dad, and he attached several blurry pictures.

As the incident unfolded, the post quickly went viral online, garnering numerous highly-rated comments:

"With the Dragon Knight's strength, how could he possibly kill Superman's dad?"

Why are they fighting? Aren't they all on the same side?

"Where would Arctic people, who struggle to even get enough to eat, get personal terminals..."

But soon, everyone noticed the seriousness of the problem. Lilith, who was active on the internet, suddenly stopped all activities, and even Daddy Superman, who often teamed up with the heroes to kill giant monsters, disappeared completely.

Only then did people realize a terrifying truth: the post might not be fake; Lilith, the Dragon Knight, really did kill Daddy Superman...

Chapter 50: The Death of Superman's Father

In a detached duplex, Adeline anxiously stood by her personal terminal, looking at the unanswered call screen. Her face was full of worry as she paced nervously around the room.

pat pat pat.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the empty room, making Adeline feel uneasy.

Not long ago, Adeline saw a strange post on the forum. Because the post was tagged with "Superman's Daddy," she naturally clicked on it.

But Adeline never expected that the post would contain the story of Lilith killing Superman's father in the Arctic. After browsing the blurry pictures and the comments below, she was so angry that she trembled.

"It must be some bastard trying to grab attention... How could Lilith be fighting with Superman's dad, especially in the Arctic? That's too fake. And the photos are so blurry, how can anyone tell who's who?"

Adeline initially thought that the poster had not only insulted her idol but also offended her friends. In order to teach this guy a lesson, she even tried to find out the poster's information.

Before she could even do anything, the post was completely deleted, and even the poster's account was banned. It was the authorities who intervened, citing pollution of the online environment as the reason.

Adeline felt that he deserved his punishment and stopped paying attention to the incident.

Everyone thought the matter would end easily, but no one expected that after that strange post appeared, Daddy Superman, who was often active on the front lines, suddenly disappeared. Even Lilith, who often appeared on the internet to stream live, never streamed again.

With multiple pieces of information overlapping, the content of that post was brought up again by netizens, and more and more people began to believe it. The situation became so serious that even the authorities had to step in to refute the rumors.

"Why isn't Lilith answering the phone? Could it be true? Did she really kill Daddy Superman?"

"Impossible, impossible! There's absolutely no reason for them to fight. Given Lilith's personality, she wouldn't kill Superman's dad. There must be some kind of enemy with special abilities controlling them..."

Lost in thought, Adeline noticed that several calls on her personal terminal had gone unanswered, and she lost patience and simply closed the call.

"Whatever the truth is, I will find it."

Adeline was determined to find Lilith or Daddy Superman and disprove the contents of that post.

After changing into his platinum-gold battle suit, Adeline flew all the way to Lilith's house. Just as he was about to knock on the door, she froze.

Because the door was only ajar and not closed, Adeline pushed it open, poked his head in to look around, and called out:

"Lilith? Are you home?"

After speaking, there was no response. Adeline simply went into the room, the sound of his boots hitting the floor was incredibly clear, and the room was eerily quiet.

After surveying the area, Adeline discovered that no one was there, and in fact, no one had lived there for the past few days, as evidenced by the thin layer of dust on the table.

"How could this be? Why isn't Lilith home?"

Adeline exclaimed in surprise. In her mind, Lilith was nothing more than a harmless homebody who wouldn't even step out of her room unless specifically invited.

"There's definitely something fishy going on here. Maybe someone used Lilith to lure Superman's dad to the North Pole, and then..."

Thinking of this, Adeline couldn't help but shudder. She reached up and patted her cheeks, trying to calm herself down.

"Don't overthink it. There's no evidence yet that Daddy Superman is dead. Lilith's disappearance might just be a coincidence. Don't think the worst."

Adeline took a deep breath, rallied his spirits, and left Lilith's house, gently closing the door behind him.

Her next stop was the address where Superman's father had been revealed. She was going there to look for clues about him, and if she could find him directly, that would be even better...

After about half an hour of flight time, Adlin arrived in North District 8. As the flight altitude gradually decreased, her gaze swept around the detached residential area and finally landed on a detached villa surrounded by armed forces.

This is the home of Superman's father. After the address was revealed, many fans came to visit. To prevent Superman's father's family from suffering any mishaps, the authorities specially dispatched an armed force.

Compared to a few days ago, there were significantly fewer passersby here, but you could still see many young people taking selfies in front of the villa.

In the past, Adeline would have done the same as these young people: take out his personal terminal, pose for a group photo in front of the villa, and then post the photo on social media with the caption "Checking in today, hoping to run into them."

But now, Adeline landed in the residential area with a heavy heart and headed straight for Superman's dad's house.

The armed men recognized Adeline, who was dressed in combat gear, and readily made way for her.

As soon as Adeline knocked on the door, a steady female voice rang out:

"Please come in."

Adeline took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped inside. But when she saw the scene inside, she was stunned for a few seconds. In the spacious living room, besides the woman who appeared to be Superman's father's wife, there were several other heroes dressed in tight-fitting combat suits.

"Nader? Hilton? What are you doing here?"

Adeline exclaimed in surprise, only to be met with Nader's impatient reply:

"Stop asking so many questions. Isn't it obvious what we're here for? It's nothing more than for Daddy Superman and that girl named Lilith."

Hilton nodded in agreement.

"Come here quickly, we've just obtained crucial intelligence, let's share it."

Upon hearing this, Adeline did not hesitate and strode forward to the group. Immediately, the group all looked at the woman.

Hilton said:

"Madam, do you know where your husband is?"

The woman smoothed a strand of hair at her temple, her brows lowered, a hint of apology in her expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. But before Wei Xiao disappeared, a little girl did come to see him. They went into the study and then disappeared. After that... I don't know either."

"Little girl..."

Hilton muttered the name, and recalling the recent forum post, she quickly connected it to Lilith.
