Chapter 55 The Mastermind Got Absolutely Nothing

Even humanity’s ultimate weapon—nuclear arms!
The moment she faced a nuclear weapon, a Dou Huang could easily escape, suffering at most some heavy injuries from the radiation.
Therefore, she felt no fear toward MOSS aboard the Navigator.
What truly terrified her was the gravitational pull of Jupiter acting upon the Earth. If they failed to push the Earth away in time, their mission would end in failure.
The most crucial part was whether she and the others aboard the Navigator, should they fail to evacuate in time... would be pulled in along with the Earth by Jupiter, eventually plunging into the planet and perishing alongside the Wandering Earth?
She was not sure.
It was precisely because of this uncertainty that Medusa had harbored such deep apprehension.
Now that she was already here, however, whatever fear she felt would have to wait. Her priority was to eliminate this annoying artificial intelligence first.
Without this AI, all other troubles would vanish.
Yet Medusa also understood in her heart that without this artificial intelligence, those four thousand reward points might not have existed either.
The points were what she truly cared about.
As a Dou Huang, Medusa did not possess a vast repertoire of Dou Techniques. Aside from the innate techniques of the Snake-People tribe, she preferred to rely on her superior physical prowess to crush her enemies.
However, this was, after all, the Navigator spaceship. If she relied purely on brute physical strength to smash those small robots, it would inevitably cause collateral damage and might even wreck the entire vessel.
She was not here to act as a destroyer!
If she destroyed the spaceship and thus failed to save the Wandering Earth, those four thousand points would go down the drain.
Medusa was not that foolish.
A ball of flame ignited behind her back, gradually transforming into wings before finally coalescing into a massive bow and arrow in her hands.
Uchiha Obito sensed the hidden power contained within that flame-forged bow and his pupils constricted.
He quickly took two steps back.
"Good heavens, this chat group is full of mysterious monsters! This Snake-People Queen, who argues with people every single day, turns out to be an absolute powerhouse!"
Uchiha Obito’s mind was in turmoil.
"If... if even Medusa the Snake-People Queen is this powerful, just how immense must the divine being she respects so deeply and fears to cross even slightly be?"
Uchiha Obito simply did not dare to imagine it further.

"I must acquire those four thousand points, even if it's only a fraction of them! That woman named Hu Liena had her destiny completely altered by a single celestial pill; if it were me, my gains would definitely surpass hers."
While Uchiha Obito was lost in wild fantasies, Medusa wielded the bow forged from flames, picking off the attacking little robots one by one with precision shots.
Time was running short.
According to Han Su’s estimation, in twenty-four hours at most, the Earth would be completely captured by Jupiter’s gravitational pull. By then, even if Jupiter suffered a massive explosion, the resulting thrust would not be enough to push the Earth away again.
And twenty-four hours was merely Han Su’s rough estimate. According to human calculations, in no more than seven hours, humanity and the Earth would perish together in Jupiter’s gravity well.
If the mastermind behind this crisis was not eliminated soon, the mission would ultimately fail.
The four thousand points waiting before her eyes would vanish into thin air.
Medusa could not tolerate such a thing happening.
She was not like Hu Liena, that woman blessed with outrageously good luck who could check in every day and receive a hundred points.
Moreover, ever since Hu Liena exchanged that Tu Shan fox pill from Jiang Mang, her luck had taken a turn for the worse.
The points she received from daily check-ins had plummeted from one hundred down to single digits, putting her on the same level as that useless prophet Qin Wuxu.
Everyone mocked her for having exhausted all her lifetime’s luck in one go; if she wanted good fortune again, she would probably have to return the celestial pill she had exchanged from the immortal.
Naturally, Hu Liena was unwilling to return the Tu Shan fox pill. Besides, she had already consumed it, and even if she wanted to return it, she lacked the ability to do so.
This was precisely one of the reasons why Hu Liena, despite having already consumed the fox pill, was willing to take risks and come to the Wandering Earth world for the sake of points.
After all, desires knew no bounds.
Becoming stronger had now almost become Hu Liena’s creed.
For strength could free her from her shackles.
Even her teacher, that powerful and uncompromising Pope, had no way to restrict her anymore.
Yet this time, Hu Liena’s little scheme was clearly not going to pan out.
Because whether this mission succeeded or failed had actually very little to do with her.
Medusa alone could handle everything on the spaceship.
When Qin Wuxu, who had been watching from the sidelines, wanted to travel through the space-time tunnel to the Wandering Earth world, she realized there seemed to be no need for her to go anymore?
For up on the spaceship, Medusa was single-handedly wiping out all the robots.

Uchiha Obito watched from the side, having no opportunity to intervene whatsoever.
In other words, if this mission could be completed right now, the four thousand mission points would be taken entirely by Medusa alone.
If she felt merciful, she might perhaps distribute a tiny fraction to Uchiha Obito, seeing as he had contributed a tiny bit of effort as well.
Useless Prophet: "@Snake-People Queen, big sister, you solved MOSS all by yourself, what are the rest of us supposed to do?"
Snake-People Queen: "My apologies. I thought it would be formidable before I came, so I accidentally used too much force. Can you leave these points to me?"
Wuhun Palace's Golden Generation: "No way! Let us get a share of the benefits too! It's four thousand points after all, you can't just leave us with nothing."
Little Spider: "Right, right! The mission objective this time is to save the Wandering Earth, which means saving Han Su. You only solved the AI, the mission can't be marked complete yet! I'm coming over right now to steer the Navigator into colliding with Jupiter, and by the way, I can rescue Liu Peiqiang too."
Useless Prophet: "Rescue Liu Peiqiang? Then who is going to pilot the spaceship to ram Jupiter? I don't have the capability for that."
Little Spider: "Don't worry, technology has its own way of solving things. I borrowed some good stuff from Tony. Well, do I qualify for a share of the mission points now?"
Snake-People Queen: "Then why aren't you hurrying over? According to the humans of this world, in less than seven hours at most, the Earth will be gone."
Little Spider: "Coming, coming! I want a share of those four thousand points."
Useless Prophet: "??? I want points too! I came up with this plan! How is it that in the end, I don't get a single point?"
Snake-People Queen: "Hmph, nothing to be done about that. How should we deal with this MOSS? I've already destroyed all of its robots."
Guard of Nantian Gate: "Keep it. Perhaps it can serve as Han Su's right-hand assistant."
Jiang Mang spoke.
Medusa, who was about to display her full might and wipe out all the remaining robots controlled by MOSS in one go, froze awkwardly in her tracks.
She was utterly bewildered.
"Immortal Master, do you truly wish to keep it?"
Medusa asked, filled with doubt.
Nearby, Uchiha Obito looked around. He had no particular thoughts regarding Jiang Mang's directive to spare MOSS.
