Chapter 27: The Silver-Haired Savior’s Grand Entrance

Just as the majority of people were celebrating with joyous cheers, a few sharp-eyed citizens abruptly noticed the rapidly approaching threat in the sky.

Recalling the past actions of Nation I, and considering the moral character of Nation M, the terrifying thought of a nuclear weapon uncontrollably surfaced in many minds.

Before long, the once-quiet crowd was once again enveloped by fear, and people scattered in every direction.

The individuals on the battlefield also spotted the rapidly approaching object. Though they wished to retreat, they were powerless to do so.

What good would running do them?

To escape the nuclear blast radius? That was a fool’s dream.

At this moment, their only hope rested with the mysterious silver-haired girl.

If the girl chose to depart, their deaths would be certain.

Although she had already displayed unparalleled strength, effortlessly defeating the fierce beast that had rendered the army helpless, the power of a nuclear bomb was undoubtedly not to be underestimated.

While the girl would most likely have no trouble evading the blast, whether she could prevent the nuclear explosion and protect these innocent civilians was an entirely different matter.

Yet, strangely, deep within the hearts of these soldiers, they had already convinced themselves that the silver-haired girl would safeguard everything here. Not a single person complained about why she hadn’t arrived on the battlefield sooner.

These soldiers’ inner thoughts were precisely what Lin Ling had anticipated. After all, the portion of Sacred Spirit Power she was currently emanating significantly increased all living beings’ affinity for her.

Even intelligent creatures like humans were subtly influenced by it, which, in some respects, felt a little like cheating.

But if that were the case, she couldn’t possibly let them down, could she?

Lin Ling adopted an expression and aura of unwavering resolve, as if facing death unflinchingly, sacrificing herself for others, and embodying profound righteousness. With a light leap, she soared towards the direction from which the nuclear missile approached.

Normally, Lin Ling’s speed would render her imperceptible to the naked eye.

However, now, she deliberately slowed her pace.

She specifically flew directly above the soldiers.

Moreover, truth be told, the girl’s abilities were more than capable of preventing the nuclear missile from detonating. Yet, at this moment, she intended to directly withstand the attack.

What was her purpose in doing so?

Naturally, it was to boost her popularity.

One shouldn’t be modest when it comes to gaining prestige. After all, she would be interacting with humans frequently in the future, so accumulating some popularity was quite necessary. (^o^)

‘Life is like a play, and all depends on the acting.’

As expected, upon witnessing the silver-haired girl’s actions, the favorability of everyone present surged dramatically.

Under the anxious gaze of all onlookers, the silver-glowing figure collided directly with the nuclear missile streaking through the sky.
