“After all, he’s the one she entrusted her [True Mark] to. It’s understandable.”
Anima also smiled wryly, seeming a bit troubled.
Shien didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Being clung to by the awesome evil god, holding the soft and fragrant little girl in his arms while eating, was a great enjoyment in life.
Shien even expressed his feelings about life.
“As expected, rescuing a damsel in distress is what a Hero should do. It’s quite classic, and I don’t dislike it.”
These words left everyone speechless.
Only Anima, after observing Lilith seriously for a while, admitted helplessly,
“It seems bringing Goddess Lilith back to the Divine Realm is unlikely.”
This was what troubled Anima.
A fellow goddess whose power surpassed her own, ranking among the top three in the Divine Race and comparable to a Demon Lord, Anima naturally wanted to bring her back to the Divine Realm and enhance their strength.
Back then, the Divine Race had high hopes for Lilith, hoping she could become a force to contend with the Demon Lords and bring them an advantage in the war. Who would have thought that Lilith would lose control on the battlefield, forcing them to seal this top-tier combat power, leaving the entire Divine Race with a bitter taste in their mouths.
Now that this evil god had finally returned to normal, the Divine Race definitely wanted her to return to the Divine Realm, right?
Anima felt the same way. If possible, she really wanted to bring Lilith back.
But when she expressed this intention, Lilith glanced at her.
That glance sent a chill down Anima’s spine, as if she had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, almost losing her composure.
If it were anyone other than Anima, being looked at by Lilith like that would probably have driven them mad.
After returning to her main body, Lilith perfectly controlled her power, possessing strength truly comparable to a Demon Lord, and using her power with great ease. Anima, whose strength was inferior to Lilith’s, annoyed her, and naturally suffered a small loss.
From that moment on, Anima knew that Lilith wouldn’t return to the Divine Realm.
She only wanted to follow Shien, whether it was walking, eating, sleeping, or bathing. She would cling to him, and even Lasha couldn’t separate them.
Under such circumstances, Anima didn’t doubt that if she forced it, Lilith wouldn’t hesitate to fight her.
Even though Anima was one of the Three Goddesses, her status much higher than Lilith, a Superior God, and Lilith should obey her orders, Lilith, being an evil god, didn’t care about the Three Goddesses’ commands.
Therefore, Anima realized that it was impossible for her to take Lilith away.
Unless Omniis, the Supreme God, personally ordered it, Lilith, as a member of the Divine Race, might not dare to disobey. Otherwise, let alone the Goddess of Life, even the strongest Goddess of Fate in the three realms probably couldn’t forcefully take her away.
Shien had something to say.
“I’m also helpless, I can’t do anything about it, but this is Lilith’s own will. I’m so sorry, truly sorry.”
Shien said these words with a big smile on his face, without any disguise, making Anima want to beat him up.
Perhaps she couldn’t defeat Lilith, but teaching a Hero who hadn’t fully grown yet a lesson shouldn’t be a problem, right?
But speaking of this, there was another troublesome issue.
“Are you really not hiding anything from me, Mr. Shien?”
Anima stared intently at Shien, although her eyes weren’t open, her serious and intense gaze could be felt.
“You really don’t know why you were summoned to this world, right?”
Anima asked seriously.
Shien also answered.
“I really don’t know, Goddess Anima.”
Shien said helplessly.
However, this was a lie.
Looking at the serious Anima before him, Shien couldn’t help but recall what had happened last night when he returned to his room at the inn, ready to sleep.
