Chapter 230: Highest Rating: SSS+

Pure white settlement space.

Lilith’s figure emerged from the white light, her military uniform crisp and her cap pulled low.

She stood there, looking at the translucent light screen in front of her, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

[Ding! Scenario World: “Pacific Rim” is being settled…]

The cold system notification voice echoed in the empty space.

[Mission Completion: Kill Kaiju (Over-fulfilled), Kill Pseudo-Angel (Completed), Destroy Wormhole (Completed)]

[Overall Rating: SSS+]

Lilith’s eyebrows rose slightly.

SSS+.

She had always thought the highest dungeon rating was only S+, but she hadn’t expected there to be an even higher level.

It seemed that killing that Level 9 monster, destroying the Wormhole, and conveniently clearing out all the Kaiju in the entire Pacific Ocean truly counted as over-fulfilling the mission.

[Ding! Your overall rating for this dungeon is SSS+, and your Hunter rank has increased to: C+]

Lilith looked at the eye-catching line on the panel, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

C+.

Jumping directly from D+ to C+, she had skipped an entire major rank in a single dungeon.

Those top-tier SSS-Rank Hunters should probably only be at Hunter rank C+ or B right now.

“Not bad.”

She murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.

The reason she hadn’t brought the Kaiju corpses back to reality was that all six slots were full.

Level 5, Level 6—she had packed them all away.

As for eating them on the spot in the Pacific Rim world to devour the Kaiju…

An image involuntarily surfaced in Lilith’s mind: Sterk leading a group of high-ranking officials in front of the giant screen in the command center, watching her on the satellite surveillance feed as she devoured the Kaiju corpses in huge bites.

At that thought, Lilith shuddered.

She didn’t have a fetish for being watched by a crowd while eating.

However, with the number of Kaiju she had, it was enough for her to obtain the complete Kaiju genome.

The next Mutation could also be put on the schedule.

After Lilith exited the settlement space, she didn’t choose to return to Tianqi; instead, she appeared in a private room on the Trading Platform.

The room was large, enough to accommodate her Second Form and the Kaiju in her backpack.

With a thought from Lilith, all the Kaiju corpses in her six-slot backpack were taken out, piling up like a mountain.

Blue blood was still flowing, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Lilith transformed into her Second Form, and a silver-white giant beast appeared in the room.

She lowered her head, opened her bloody maw, and began to eat…

…

Apocalypse Base, Headquarters.

William sat at his desk, a thick stack of documents spread out before him.

Intelligence from Night Raven, replies from European Union countries, movements of major Factions, and the latest news about Britain.

He flipped through them one by one, his fingers tapping lightly on the pages.

Submission.

Every country had chosen to submit.

No surprises, no resistance, not a single ripple.

The decision-makers of those countries knew very well what the wise choice was in this world where strength reigned supreme.

By not resisting, they could keep their current positions and develop slowly.

To resist was to oppose the entirety of Tianqi.

And the power Tianqi had displayed had already exceeded their imagination.

Absorbing the Sentinel Alliance, integrating America, and possessing two Hunters with SSS-Rank combat power.

With such strength, who would dare to resist?

Those high-ranking officials with thoughts of resistance would likely be assassinated by their own subordinates before their plans could even be implemented, their heads then delivered to Tianqi to claim credit.

Rather than dying in vain, it was better to simply submit.

William set aside the reply documents from the European Union countries, his finger stopping on the final piece of intelligence.

Britain.

The whole of Britain was shrouded within a domain.

Lilith had been reinforcing that domain, never stopping.

Within the domain, she was the ruler, controlling creation and destruction.

Defeating her on her home turf within the domain was nearly impossible.

Even the powerhouse ranked second from the Dragon Kingdom could only manage to protect themselves within her domain.

William looked at the intelligence submitted by Night Raven, his eyes narrowing slightly.

That person from the Dragon Kingdom—how did she judge their strength?

Night Raven’s intelligence capabilities had always been strong, but no matter how strong, they shouldn’t extend to the level of SSS-Rank Hunters.

Unless—she herself was an SSS-Rank Hunter.

William’s finger paused.

He slowly put down the document, leaned back in his chair, and a smile gradually curled onto his lips.

“I should have thought of it sooner.”

He murmured softly, his voice carrying a hint of realization.

“The last SSS-Rank Hunter of America—the Eye of God.”

Night Raven was the Eye of God.

That third SSS-Rank Hunter who had never shown their face had been in Tianqi all along.

No, it should be said, she had been there from the very beginning.

William thought of that terrifyingly accurate intelligence and the elusive way she delivered it every time.

Everything made sense now.

He picked up the intelligence regarding Britain and read it once more.

Domain, ruler, creation and destruction.

If Night Raven was the Eye of God, then her judgment of Lilith’s strength was a mutual perception between SSS-Ranks.

The accuracy of this intelligence was beyond doubt.

William placed the intelligence back on the table and looked out the window.

The sky was darkening, and the lights of Apocalypse Base were coming on.

The leader hadn’t returned yet, but he knew she would be back soon.

And she would certainly be interested in Britain.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.

“Eye of God…”

He softly repeated the name, the smile on his lips deepening.

“She hid herself so well.”
