Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday-Chapter 326: Territory Reclamation
After the Mega Hunt Mission in the Wastelands of Country C, Grace's reputation as the most powerful warrior and human in existence only surged like wildfire.
The entire world witnessed the live broadcast of the hunt, and they also witnessed the sheer power and strength she possessed.
Those who hadn't already accepted her as the new world leader over the past eight and a half years, were now doing it as they knew she was the biggest hope for the survival of humanity.
And she didn't disappoint that reputation.
She was always there when a Mega Hunt was called. The Great Alliance collectively accepted her as the Great Leader and openly started following her guidance. They finally gave up on the idea of ever commanding her, they knew better than to wish for the impossible.
They listened when she spoke and did what she told them to do. Because every time she went out on those hunts, she returned alive, victorious, and with fewer threats left on the map.
And with every Mega Hunt, her collection of high Level Spirit Stones kept growing while the Alliance kept getting useful and rare resources from the dead beasts.
One such Mega Hunt took place in the ruins of the floating city of Myrasil. It was a place once hailed for its advanced tech, but was now half-sunk into the poisoned sea.
2025 detected the presence of a Class 10 Flying Shadow Beast there. It was feeding on the smaller beasts there and growing stronger by the year.
The battle raged for almost twenty-four hours as the beast was not only deadly and powerful, but also commanded the mutated plants in the area.
But despite everything, and the few casualties on her side, Grace turned up victorious as always. And from the crumbling body of the Class 10 Shadow Beast, she got a Level 10 gray Spirit Stone.
It was the first air elemental stone found, and while the Alliance surely had their eyes on it when they saw it on the live broadcast, none dared to even think about asking for it.
The rule was simple - since Grace was the one killing the beast, she owned its Spirit Stone. Besides, she was always generous enough to leave all the other Stones and resources to be distributed among the countries participating in the hunt.
With this hunt, she had two original Level 10 Stones - one Red and the other Gray.
But the collection didn't stop there as she soon found herself facing another Class 10 beast during a hunt the very next month. This time she got a Blue Stone.

By the time the ninth year came to an end, she had a collection of eight Level 10 Spirit Stones - two red, two blue, one green, one yellow, one gray, and one purple.
The next hunt led her to face the very first Class 11 Monster Beast detected on the planet so far. The battle was brutal, probably one of the hardest and most tiring she ever fought. But with the help of Rune and a team of elite warriors from Starfall, they managed to take down the beast.
While she was growing with each hunt, so were her warriors. In the tenth year, a second group of twenty warriors manged to enter the advanced level of Rank A, joining the previous group of warriors.
All these warriors were not only strongest to walk on Earth, but they all had managed to unlock at least one elemental power along with their original superpowers.
Her Shadow Beasts had also grown stronger. The dragon was already a Class 16 beast, and there were five other Beasts that made it to Class 12. The rest were still between Class 9 to Class 11.
But as the tenth year continued to progress, Grace was faced with a new problem - a big one.
The original safe zones were no longer enough for the rapidly growing human population. Even Starfall had reached its limit with its current population sitting at 11,889.
And among these nearly twelve thousand people, about two and a half thousands were children that were born in the past four years.
That's when she decided to turn her attention to something bigger... territory reclamation.
But doing so was easier said than done. It took nearly seven months, twenty-four hunt missions, several casualties, and nights of planning before she finally managed to secure five major cities in the old ruins of Country B.
These cities were once the technological core of the nation, and together, spanned an area twenty times the size of Starfall Isle.
It meant that once this new safe zone would be ready to welcome residents, it would be able to provide homes for at least 250,000 to 300,000 people.
These hunts not only helped her in securing a new and the biggest safe zone in existence, but it also allowed her to collect further high level Spirit Stones and other rare resources from the fallen beasts.
To keep the cities from being swarmed by other infected and beasts, she placed a barrier around it to keep it safe. But creating a barrier of such a massive size was even more energy-consuming and hard than reclaiming these cities.
It took her a week to create the barrier that was fused with nearly a hundred Spirit Stones, an AI system controlled by 2025, spells, potions, and artifacts made from the parts of Class 10 and 11 Monster Beasts.
But finally, she was able to secure the place.
In the meantime, Dr. Kian, Professor Neil,
and their team of researchers were able to make some really amazing breakthrough in their researchs. And some results came from the scientist of the Great Alliance.
A vaccine had been created that could help the mutated flora return to their original selves about fifty percent. The tests were further carried out where normal plants and mutated plants, which were vaccinated, were used to grow more plants. As a result, new hybrid plants came into existence that were the closest to the normal plants of the world so far.
