In other words, to Airi, the Demon King was equivalent to her mother.
And who wouldn’t care about their mother?
It was impossible, right?
Moreover, Airi was the youngest of the Six Demon Lords, so she was probably the closest to the Demon King (her mother) among the six sisters, right?
Otherwise, when the Demon King was defeated, Airi wouldn’t have lost control on the spot, almost being consumed by hatred and seeking revenge.
Therefore…
“Let’s not talk about the Demon King. Let’s talk about Lilith.” Shien changed the subject. “You told me not to release her, but I already broke her seal.”
As mentioned before, the seal was only temporarily stabilized, not restored.
“The seal will eventually break. When that happens, Lilith will be released, right?”
Shien said.
“No wonder the magic power flow in this city called Cosmos is even stranger than yesterday.” Airi came back to her senses and nodded. “However, you shouldn’t worry.”
“Why?” Shien was taken aback.
“Because those people from the Divine Race must have already noticed the problem with the seal.” Airi said bluntly. “That fox-girl saintess is Anima’s messenger, right? Then Anima must have already learned about her using her power to repair the seal. It won’t be long before she descends to the human world and personally repairs the seal.”
“The Goddess of Life will come in person?” Shien raised an eyebrow.
In other words, he might be about to meet one of the pinnacles of the Divine Race?
This was really…
“What? Are you scared?” Airi sneered. “Are you worried that Anima will come after you because of the seal?”
Shien only had one thing to say to Airi’s words.
“Do I look like someone who’s easily scared?”
Shien said defiantly.
Airi was speechless.
Was this guy not afraid of being struck down again?
Didn’t he know his own limits?
“Anyway, do as you please.” Airi seemed too lazy to banter with Shien anymore. “Our target is only the Old Demon Faction. We really don’t need to get involved in such a big mess.”
Leaving those words behind, Airi turned to leave.
However, before she could leave, Shien’s voice suddenly rang out.
“What if I want to get involved?”
These words made Airi stop abruptly.
She didn’t turn around.
But she could feel Shien’s gaze fixed on her back.
“…Aren’t you always afraid of trouble?”
Airi was silent for a moment before speaking.
“Yeah, I hate trouble the most.” Shien readily admitted, but then said helplessly, “But this time, I might meddle a bit.”
“Why?” Airi asked, confused. “This has nothing to do with you, right?”
“It indeed has nothing to do with me.” Shien was still frank and helpless. “But without my help, that girl will probably never achieve her wish, forever wandering the world, unable to find peace.”
How cruel and painful that would be was self-evident.
Otherwise, why would Beatrice be so eager to break the seal?
Knowing that breaking the seal would turn the world into hell, Beatrice still couldn’t help but do it.
This proved that she was probably at her limit, on the verge of breaking down.
What else could Shien do?
He could only meddle.
“…Even if it means becoming an enemy of the Divine Race, even an enemy of the world?”
Airi asked softly.
Shien smiled.
“Sounds very heroic, right?”
These simple words told Airi what Shien was thinking.
Airi also smiled.
“It does sound very heroic.” Airi admitted. “But I still want to say, you’re truly different from other Heroes.”
With that, Airi left.
Shien watched Airi leave, smiled, and looked outside again.
Outside, the scenery remained the same.
