“Here it comes!”
Seeing the anomaly in the light source in the sky, everyone on the ground shuddered and held their breath.
Anima even approached Shien and whispered,
“If that child fails, please don’t hesitate.”
Shien naturally understood what she meant.
“A Lilith who has completely lost the possibility of regaining her rationality is just a brutal evil god, a disaster for the world, so you don’t need to have any psychological burden.”
Anima whispered in Shien’s ear, her voice gentle and compassionate, giving him a feeling of maternal acceptance.
However, Shien didn’t respond to Anima’s words.
He himself didn’t know if he could bring himself to destroy the [True Mark] entrusted to him if Beatrice truly failed.
Of course, Shien was still someone who could objectively accept reality.
Therefore, if Beatrice failed, he would accept the consequences and wouldn’t struggle pointlessly because he was unwilling to believe reality or couldn’t give up hope.
However, acceptance was one thing, not struggling pointlessly was another. It didn’t mean that Shien would directly give up and destroy the [True Mark].
Perhaps, at that time, Beatrice would indeed be gone, and Lilith would become a true menace, but as long as he had the [True Mark], Lilith could be reincarnated and resurrected by his side, right?
At that time, perhaps Lilith’s rationality would also be resurrected along with her, and be rejected by her, allowing Beatrice to reappear?
With this in mind, Shien made up his mind.
“If she truly fails, I will kill Lilith here, but I won’t destroy the [True Mark].”
Shien said these words, leaving Anima speechless, and looked at Airi.
Airi, receiving Shien’s gaze, naturally knew what he wanted to say.
“Alright.” Airi said decisively. “I’ll help you when the time comes.”
Shien was relieved.
Relying on his own strength alone, defeating Lilith would be extremely difficult.
But with Airi’s help, it would be much easier.
After their previous confrontation, Shien already knew that Lilith, having lost her rationality, had a serious weakness. Once she started fighting, she would only recklessly unleash her power without restraint or adaptability.
With such a weakness, if he and Airi joined forces, defeating her shouldn’t be impossible.
Thus, everyone stared intently at the light source in the sky, no longer speaking.
The light penetrating from the light source became increasingly brighter, creating swirling dark clouds in the roaring sky.
A beam of light shone down from the vortex of dark clouds, enveloping the light source.
Soon, the light source trembled violently, and at its most intense tremor, it collapsed as if reaching its limit.
The light source, like snow melting under the sun, like scattering snowflakes, gradually disintegrated.
Within, the small goddess with twelve black wings and a robe reappeared.
Everyone present widened their eyes as they looked at the small goddess.
Because they discovered that the once violent and turbulent evil aura now undulated around the small goddess like a silent darkness, appearing extremely docile. Řa₦óᛒËȿ
If the previous evil aura was a natural disaster, a storm, a flood, or an avalanche, then the current evil aura was the beautiful scenery after the storm.
Tranquil, peaceful, clear, and mysterious, these were its current portrayals.
Everyone had the same feeling.
“This is a goddess.”
Indeed, this was a goddess.
Sacred and inviolable.
Untainted by the mud.
Aloof from the world.
Beautiful, pure, and natural.
This was the current Lilith.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, Lilith vanished from mid-air.
She transformed into a shadowy figure of darkness, as if traversing the limitations of time and space, instantly appearing before Shien and taking form.
It happened so suddenly that no one could react.
Including Shien, who only felt his vision darken, and then the girl appeared before him.
“Bang!”
The next moment, with a muffled sound, the small goddess collided with Shien.
“Ugh…!”
