The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

The Herrscher of Reason cackled as she unleashed her powers.

Looking at the fully armed troops she'd suppressed, unable to even raise their heads, and the planes she'd blasted out of the sky, her confidence in destroying the world soared.

Who could possibly kill her?

"I am invincible—"

"High-altitude falling objects, watch out~"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the Herrscher of Reason heard a joking voice from above. But that was impossible. All the planes had been driven away. There were no parachutes in the sky, so how could anyone attack her from above—

The Herrscher of Reason looked up, only to see a fist nearing her face.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion rang out. The impact instantly engulfed the hill in smoke. When the dust settled, the hill was now a crater, and only one figure stood at its center.

"Oh? You managed to withstand that? Not bad, not bad."

Brushing off the dust, Lee smiled, looking at the disheveled, embedded Herrscher of Reason. She clapped enthusiastically. "You reacted pretty fast."

"You—!"

Unlike the carefree Lee, the Herrscher of Reason was furious, her eyes bloodshot. She wanted to rip Lee apart.

She was a messenger of God, a noble being who would overthrow this world, yet, this creature dared to strike her face?!

If she hadn't reacted quickly and created a shield, her head would have been blown off.

Despite her anger, Lee's attack had put her on guard. The Herrscher of Reason looked around at the destroyed environment, astonished. How could a human do this?

Jumping from the sky without protection and with such destructive power… was she a Herrscher?

"Aren't you going to attack?"

Lee, watching the Herrscher of Reason stand still, her expression shifting, calmly began doing calisthenics. "If you don't move, I will."

What did she mean, letting her attack first? No matter how arrogant a human was, they wouldn't be this bold—ah, she understood!

A glint flashed in the Herrscher of Reason's eyes. She had finally found the loophole.

That girl had used all her strength in her sneak attack, but even so, she couldn't break her defense! As long as she stayed in defense mode, the girl was powerless!

So she was trying to lure her into attacking, and then sneak-attack when she was focused on offense?

Foolish. She had the power to construct anything from God. This trick couldn't fool her!

Lee didn't know what the Herrscher of Reason was thinking, but she saw that she was hiding behind a virtual shield, looking at her cautiously. The Herrscher didn't move, even after she'd finished her calisthenics.

Did she want to become a training dummy? Lee had given her a chance, but she didn't take it...

"Well, you chose this, don't blame me for not giving you a chance~"

Lee assumed a fighting stance and smiled, clenching her fist.

She hadn't had a second chance to use this move since she paid a fortune for it.

After Lihua bought it, she was immediately thrown into a dungeon. Shoko was too weak to use it. And Li Bei, as the main body, didn't like to fight, nor was it necessary for him.

It was a skill worth seven figures, but had never shined – but now, it didn't need to be sad anymore, because Lee was here!

The Honkai energy within her surged.

If Lihua's power with this move was like a small stream, then Lee's power was like a roaring ocean!

Her physical stats and Honkai adaptability were far superior to Lihua's. With Lee as the proper user, this move was not a weak skill that couldn't break a Honkai steel prison.

Seeing Lee clench her fist a few steps away, the Herrscher of Reason suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if she would die in the next second if she didn't do anything.

But how was that possible? The girl didn't have any weapons, she was just about to attack with her fist... Her defense was flawless, it was unbreakable!

Yes, it was unbreakable—

"Inch Punch..."

Lee exhaled lightly. The next moment, she was in front of the Herrscher of Reason, who hadn't even seen her move.

"Sky Splitter."

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no collision between an attack and a shield.

Only a flash of light.

Lee's attack was like a hot knife through butter, instantly breaking through the defense and piercing the Herrscher of Reason's chest.

Due to the high-speed friction with the air, the protective glove and sleeve on her right arm had melted and burned. The flash of light was from those items burning in the air.

Worth the five million, Lee thought, looking at her still-white skin. Even Fire Moth's special equipment was burned, but her hand was completely unscathed.

A maxed-out account was different.

The Herrscher of Reason fell silently. Lee calmly turned her hand around, revealing a glowing pale blue gem in her palm.

As everyone knew, Herrschers of Reason were known to do sit-ups, seemingly dead but not. To prevent a resurrection, she had casually pulled out the Herrscher core from her body.

Although Welt Yang, the later Herrscher of Reason, often failed, he had survived those failures, proving his strength. And the original Herrscher of Reason, Walter Joyce, was capable of making Otto break down.

If it were one of those two, the result of the fight would be uncertain, but this Herrscher from the Previous Era…

"This messenger of God is disappointing."

But a Herrscher was still a top-tier combatant, right? She had defeated the Herrscher of Reason all by herself. Did that mean she was the strongest person in the world now?

A five-million account to become the strongest in the world. Seemed like a good deal.

She just didn't know if her build could keep up with future updates.

Lee glanced at the body, casually stuffed the core in her pocket, and walked leisurely towards the Fire Moth troops in the distance.

"If there's a next life, remember to read more books."
