I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 378 - 376: Conquering the Stars

Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Conquering the Stars

In the Sethiyan Federation, within an ancient villa in Delahong State.

Old Bideng, over the age of 70, sat on the genuine leather sofa in his study, watching footage of the colossal figure falling with a group of people.

Bideng had long been a political rival to Steijie.

Compared to Steijie, Bideng was an out-and-out supporter of the Yixu Tycoon forces, having participated in the election for the chief official twenty years ago.

With the bankruptcy of Communism within the country, the public’s widespread belief in Yixu conspiracy theories, and the worry that the Gold Standard Consortium’s power was gradually overtaking that of the government,

Bideng’s ideology of supremacy in management had not received widespread support; thus, he had returned from three electoral campaigns for the chief official position with resentment.

First, he lost to Steijie’s superior, and then, to Steijie himself.

Old Bideng was determined not to let his political career end with a period, and now, with Steijie boasting his tenuous alliance with Wei Tianyang, his actions had already incurred significant damage to the interests of the Yixu Tycoon, domestic arms dealers, and the underground drug trafficking network.

This was an opportunity.

Presently, besides several of Bideng’s close confidants from within the Republic Party, there were also the president of the Rifle Association and representatives of the Yixu Tycoon forces.

"Wei Tianyang’s harmfulness far outweighs his utility value, and this incident has proven that he has completely lost control, even Zhao Ling can’t fully contain him," said Saint Mary, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Bideng nodded and said, "Steijie has done too much that has harmed everyone’s interests during his tenure. We do not have a tradition of purging the chief official, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need to give a warning."

"Steijie indirectly caused the current situation in Yixu. Wei Tianyang has severely impacted the religious foundation of the Yixu people. We are both deeply saddened and very angry," said a representative of the Yixu Consortium.

"The Federation will compensate," Bideng said. "The next election for the chief official is coming up soon. Steijie can no longer run for another term, and once I take office, I will draft a compensation law."

"You have three potential competitors..." Saint Mary said.

"They are not important, Mary. No matter who it is, they are not capable of dealing with Wei Tianyang, but I can," Bideng remarked.

"We all know Old Bideng has called us here because he surely has something up his sleeve," an old man with glasses and a knowing smile spoke up.

He appeared to be about the same age as Old Bideng, one of his eyes blind, showing a diseased gray color in the pupil.

"Old Qiao still knows me so well," Bideng said with a smile.

At this moment, a subtle fragrance of coffee filled the room, and people looked towards a corner of the study following the scent.

There, by the small round table in the corner, sat an elegantly poised woman with long brown hair.

Dressed in a deep purple backless dress, a black bra was slightly visible from the neckline of her straps, her full curves igniting boundless imaginings.

The woman was pinching a white porcelain cup, sipping coffee slowly.

"How long has she been sitting there?" asked the president of the Rifle Association.

"For quite a while, she arrived before all of you," Bideng said with a smile.

"How did we not see her when we came in??" Saint Mary exclaimed in surprise.

"When she doesn’t want you to notice her, you won’t," Bideng said.

As he spoke, he rose from his armchair and approached the woman.

The woman put down her porcelain cup and extended a hand, which Bideng, like a graceful gentleman, gently took in his own.

"Allow me to introduce her to everyone. This is Lilith, a visitor from the heavens," Bideng declared with a smile.

"From the heavens?" Saint Mary began, then hesitated.

Everyone exchanged glances, their minds swarming with innumerable guesses.

"Stop beating around the bush. Lilith is a living Heavenly Falling Object, She is a superior being beyond our ranks," Bideng said.

"This is too... incredulous," Old Qiao exclaimed.

"Hold on," the representative of the Yixu Consortium said, "This isn’t some scam, right? I’ve seen the Superpower Special Department before."

Bideng looked at Lilith and bowed politely, seemingly inviting Lilith to explain for herself.

"I am here to find my lost offspring, and I have found two so far. Your ’nation’ has been somewhat helpful, and I think we can establish a certain level of cooperation," Lilith said with a smile.

"You look just like a woman who has dressed up deliberately. How can I believe you fell from the sky?" the Yixu Consortium representative remained skeptical.

Lilith suddenly lost her patience, and her pupils turned red.

"Bideng, I need a tangible compensation plan and a reconstruction plan for Yixu, send your troops to help us kill all the dissenters. That would be more practical than bringing over a beautiful woman to swindle and show off," the Yixu Consortium representative turned to Bideng.

The next second, a scorching red beam penetrated his head, leaving a palm-wide charred bloody hole on the upper part of his cheek.

Instantly, the Yixu Consortium representative lay back on the couch, and the wall behind him was also burnt through, revealing the LCD TV in the next room sparking.

"Ah ah!!!!!"

Saint Mary screamed.

The others were also extremely nervous, but paralyzed with fear, they could not control their legs.

"Do not panic, everyone, do not panic. Ms. Lilith is not usually like this, there’s no need to question her. Gentlemen, she will help us deal with Wei Tianyang. And... much more than that," Bideng said with a smile.

"How is she going to help us? Wei Tianyang’s strength is well known; if Lilith can only shoot lasers from her eyes, that’s all there is to it," Old Qiao said.

"I have seen your broadcast," Lilith spoke at this moment.

She stood up, walked over to the laptop computer, and replayed that video.

The black giant descended from the sky; although in the video, it was just a tiny black dot, the human form was still clearly visible.

During its fall, accompanied by thunderstorms, the rain gathered into spheres around it.

"This is one of my lost offspring," Lilith said.

"Offspring..." Saint Mary could hardly believe it.

"These Heavenly Falling Objects that have fallen from the sky, they are like us, they have their own thoughts. They fell because of a war, and through Lilith, we shall glimpse into a higher dimension of the world!" Bideng said.

He seemed excited, and even appeared younger.

"Do you understand? Wei Tianyang is not even a problem anymore, Lilith will take care of him, and then..." Bideng continued.

Everyone looked at Lilith, then at Bideng, and asked, "Then?"

Lilith smiled. She stood by the window, her back against the afternoon sun, and the people could only see her dark silhouette and a pair of red eyes.

"The grand narrative has unfolded, and the conclusion is being written. We ought to inscribe our names in it... Once I find all my offspring, you too will be blessed... becoming residents of a greater Chapter, gaining eternity," Lilith said.

"Eternity... do you mean... that we can... become immortal?" Old Qiao’s blind eye seemed to shine with light.

"Exactly, transcend time, break the limits of lifespan, we shall be immortal," Bideng said with a smile.

"Right. I have the power to do this, you do not need to doubt," Lilith said with a smile.

"My heavens... this is really... too wonderful..." Saint Mary couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.

"And then... I will lead you, to conquer the stars," Lilith said with a smile.
