The Highest Bounty

Chapter 165 Lilliath, Let’s Go Home

Four days had gone by since Caesar started Lilliath’s. Nevertheless, Lilliath had not yet woken up.

It was already the seventh day since Lilliath had been poisoned and the Dark Sector’s people had not yet come to Tampa. Gu Ding guessed that the deal was dead. Gu Ding was also secretly glad that they had frozen Lilliath as per Neptune’s suggestion or she would have been dead by then.

Over the course of the four days, Neptune brought a lot of news. The biggest news of all was that Gu Ding’s bounty had increased significantly It had increased from 320 million Star Credits to 80 million Universe Credits; it had increased by at least 200 fold.

Mi En, An Luo, and the others’ bounties also increased. Nevertheless, their bounties were not on the same level as Gu Ding even in the slightest bit.

What surprised Gu Ding the most was that Kohld Blood’s bounty had increased to more than one hundred million Universe Credits. He had spent his time challenging other Interstellar Pirates within Border River. Every time he targeted an Interstellar Pirate crew, the latter would suffer a devastating blow. With that, he caused a disturbance in almost the entire Border River. Faye Cosmic Nation had no choice but to send in a team of hunters to seize his team.

It took place two days prior, but no one on Skynet had uploaded any news about it, leading Gu Ding to suspect that the hunters failed their mission. Otherwise, news about Kohld Blood’s arrest would have been out by

then.

Over at the hut, Biggie served them meals each day. Robert spent only a few minutes before he was able to create a makeshift portable kitchen that was easy to use. As for Elsa, she carried along performing her guard duty throughout the few days. The past few days were also the days when she had eaten the most food ever since she left home.

In the wooden hut, Lilliath’s condition began to worry Gu Ding a little. Throughout the past four days, she was injected with no less than sixty tubes of cell repair agents. Other than that, Caesar would inject her with a tube of blood each day. Then, he would spend hours on her. Caesar was starting to look more and more unwell with each day that went by.

“Caesar, how is Lili now?” Gu Ding could not help but finally ask.

After a moment’s silence, Caesar chose to tell the truth, “Not very optimistic, her second dream world has been broken, and she will soon fall into a third dream. If this enthrallment continues, she may never wake up, and her soul will permanently drift around in dream world.”

Gu Ding frowned upon hearing this. “Can I help?”

In Lilliath’s dream, the whole world had collapsed. Her parents had once again died in front of her, leaving her close to a breakdown. Looking around herself, she saw that everything had been destroyed. Suddenly, a strange feeling began to stir in her heart-it was the pleasant sensation of revenge.

“I’m going to destroy everything. I’m going to kill everyone! Then, no one can hurt me…” A seed of hatred sprouted in her heart and soon grew into a tree. The idea of getting revenge grew stronger and stronger within her.

All of a sudden, her gene level began to climb rapidly. It shot from Rank-4 to Rank-6, and then went up further-Rank-7, Rank-8… At Rank-14, she instantly gained access to demigod powers. A black flame shot up from inside her body, It was the Purgatorial Flame she had inherited from her father. Nevertheless, the fire in her hand was more domineering. In her right hand, the Combat Armor that had accompanied her all this while, evolved and turned golden in colour. It had transformed itself into a giant particle cannon. Even her defensive Combat Armor had turned gold. Lilliath, who was now dressed in gold armor had a ball of fire in her left hand and a cannon in her right hand. She slowly floated in the air. Her fiery red hair turned blood-red as it grew at a speed the naked eye could see. Soon, her long hair was sweeping the floor.

Her golden pupils also turned completely blood-red, and eerie black patterns began circulating them-it made them look creepy.

Beneath her, the world that had collapsed had disappeared. A bustling planet was now in front of her, and a large black mansion stood before her.

With her eyes, she peered through the window that was tens of miles away and saw several men in black robes secretly discussing something inside. The men in black robes all had pictures of bright red demons on their chests.

“Die!” Lilliath was instantly infuriated, and she shot the particle cannon in her hand wildly. Black flames immediately swept through the city. She was not bothered by the civilians in the city. Her goal was simple-let everyone die with her!!

The black mansion collapsed instantly!

Soon, the whole city was enveloped in flames. There was screaming everywhere, but Lilliath ignored it. Her eyes were fixated on the black mansion which was now laid in ruins. She wanted to make sure that everyone in front of her had died-no one could escape her wrath!

Just then, a man in a black robe slowly crept out of the ruins. The red demon on his chest was still visible. In a flash, he appeared before Lilliath. Even with Lilliath’s pupillary power, she could not see his face that was covered by the brim of his hood.

Without hesitation, Lilliath pressed the muzzle of her black particle annihilation cannon against her opponent’s heart. At that moment, the man in the black robe calmly removed his hood.

At the sight of his face, Lilliath hesitated. That was because it was Gu Ding.

“Olivia, are you really going to kill me?” “Gu Ding” had a sarcastic smile on his face. Lilliath was on the verge of having a breakdown. She could not understand why the Dark Sector’s leader had become Gu Ding.

“Since you can’t do it, let me kill you and put an end to your misery…” “Gu Ding” smiled gently. At the sight of his smile, Lilliath suddenly reacted, and black flames instantly drowned her opponent. She had done so decisively, without holding back. “Gu Ding” quickly fell in front of her. “Why? Aren’t we partners?”

“You’re not my partner. Gu Ding has never called me Olivia. His smile can shine through shadows like the sunlight, so you’re just a fake!” Lilliath finally managed to calm down.

After she had calmed down, she looked at the city which was in ruin. Gradually, the black flames in her hand extinguished. Additionally, the huge cannon that she was holding disappeared. Her long hair also returned to its original state, and the color of her pupils reverted to normal.

A strong sense of prostration came over her. She fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. “What have I done?”

The sky was thick with smoke and haze, even the sun could not be seen. She felt her body slowly turn cold. “Am I going to die? It would be a relief to die… I might get to see mom and dad again…”

Just then, Lilliath heard footsteps coming in the distance. Slightly curious, she turned her head and looked toward the source of the footsteps. Among the debris, a thin figure could be seen moving amidst the smoke. The moment he saw Lilliath, he appeared beside her and crouched down next to her. With the corners of his mouth curled upwards, he held out his hand to her. “Lili, let’s go home!”
