Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Eri stared at Novia, her tone slightly cold.

"After all, I have nothing to do with you, this is just my objective opinion."

Then, she picked up the cream puffs from the table and went outside.

In fact, Eri was well aware that although Novia was a jerk, he was actually quite reliable. She told herself that it was best not to be too hostile towards him.

But she just inexplicably gets like this easily, and she doesn't quite understand it herself.

It might be because of Chitose. Although she wasn't her biological daughter, Chitose was still her grandmother, so that's why she acted this way, Erise thought.

Meanwhile, the image of the Demon King, who, though not a scoundrel, was utterly unreliable, lingered in Eri's mind.

I really want to see him again...

Surrounded by the chilling atmosphere of the mansion, Eri was still thinking about the "completely unreliable" demon king who had abandoned her.

Bang bang bang.

Eri knocked on the tightly locked door of Kuonji Aratsu, who seemed to be tinkering with something inside these past few days.

"Kuonji, I bought you a cream puff and left it at the door. If you're hungry, you can take it to tide you over."

What exactly is Miss Kuonji doing inside?

The thought of that once aloof and ethereal girl staying up all night concocting elixirs like witches and sorceresses in fairy tales shattered Erise's illusions.

Should I sneak a peek...?

A sudden thought quickly took hold of Erise's mind, and the next moment she stealthily pulled up a stool, stood on it, and prepared to peek through the window using magic...

Yes, it's alright. I was just worried about Miss Kuonji's safety.

"........"

"Whoa!"

When she met those calm, dark eyes, Erise admitted that she was genuinely terrified, so much so that she fell to the ground.

Following closely behind, Kuonji Yuuki poked her head out from the gate and gave her a cold glance.

"Erise, I'm fine, don't worry."

After saying that, she pulled her head back and closed the door tightly again.

Lying on the ground, Eri was unable to speak.

Was that just a hallucination? This room smells a bit strange, and is it a little too hot?

For some reason, Erise noticed a slight blush on the face of Kuonji Aratsu, who was peeking out from behind the camera...

...........

Let's focus on the space where Metatron was originally planning to leave.

The scenery remains the same, like a tower formed of light, a ribbon of light like a waterfall, and even the golden blood that Metatron spilled is still on that ribbon.

Of course, Lilith was the same, but unlike the silver wings that Metatron had seen before, hers were now black, like bat wings.

She was lying with her eyes closed, leaning against the seemingly soft but actually incredibly hard bond, with the greatsword that had pierced Metatron standing beside her.

If you look closely, you can see that Lilith is actually frowning.

We haven't seen the desperate Metatron yet, isn't something wrong?

"Go to hell."

In an instant, this line flashed through Lilith's mind.

Did He not even give Metatron, who had become lazy, a chance to atone for his sins, before killing him directly...? That's in line with His character.

Ultimately, angels are merely conceptual weapons; even if they die completely once, it won't prevent them from reappearing.

"But so be it, let them die. The more the merrier..."

As soon as Lilith finished speaking, several very young voices rang out around her.

"Full!"

"So full, so full~"

"Let's have more blood."

There were three tiny children, as small as dolls, flying beside Lilith because they had wings.

Their names are all Lilim, and in mythology they are generally considered to be descendants of Lilith, inheriting the identities of demons and nightmares.

But in reality, it was just a child created by Lilith using magic; you could even call it a prop.

but,

"Yes, yes, fill it up, let's spread our blood across the Red Sea, even more."

Although she said some perfunctory words, Lilith's expression was very happy. The fact that she shared the lollipops she loved to lick with several Lilims was enough to prove that she really loved these 'children'.

As for taking advantage of Shejina's wavering to create the Sassoon lineage, well, Lilith actually felt somewhat apologetic.

Because she simply wanted revenge, her hatred was deeply ingrained in Sasson's blood, indirectly leading to Little Mugel's final battle. In fact, she was secretly encouraging Little Mugel, and if Little Mugel were to be killed, Lilith would definitely intervene to stop it.

because,

Since she was the one who caused this death, she has a responsibility to change it.

However, in the end, Little Mugel's choice to never leave the cliffs of Voron was a choice made from his own heart, so Lilith did not appear.

But she will remember what made these children happy and what made them sad.

After all, Lilith has a good memory, and she no longer loves 'Him', only hates him.

This is an idea that Lilith truly believes in and is determined to implement.

That being said, Lilith does not deny that her mood fluctuates because of Him.

Although unwilling, when they met, they would still be shaken by His brief words and indifferent gestures. Just looking at Him would make them nervous and flustered.

But if I remain so foolish and continue down that path, then I will...

Then there would truly be no point in continuing to eke out a living in this world.

On a side note, Lilith actually has some affection for "humanity as a whole," but she feels hatred for "humanity as an individual." In other words, she loves abstract people and hates concrete people... I don't know who she learned this from, or if it was some kind of imitation? In any case, even after she transformed from a god into a human, she remained the same.

"Hey hey hey, I have something to do, don't bother me."

"Goodbye, mom."

After saying that, the three Lilim disappeared from Lilith's side, which actually made Lilith smile and greet them for a long time.

It wasn't until half a day later that she frowned again.

Since sloth still lingers in Metatron, it means she hasn't completely... given up hope, right? She still harbors some expectation... how pathetic.

Since she fled from the Garden of Eden by calling out His true name, Lilith has been able to gain power from this, including the concept of the seven deadly sins.

This is why Lilith gave Shejina sex and Metatron sloth.

The reason Lilith believes that Metatron still has potential is because she is referring to Shekina's condition.

After Lilith gave her lust to Shejina, she couldn't control it for a long time. This made Lilith think that once given, it couldn't be taken back. Until one day, her lust suddenly returned, and after Shejina disappeared without a trace, Lilith felt that... maybe the sin would only return after the holder was completely desperate?

Otherwise, Lilith couldn't explain how Shejina could abandon success after obtaining lust; only utter despair could prove it.

At this moment, she possesses all seven deadly sins except for sloth.

So Lilith, who was thinking about how to make Metatron even more desperate, considered how to use the remaining sins. She had a good idea, which was to use something like the Holy Grail summoning system to make the Six Sins appear, but... Lilith hesitated.

Because she intended the Seven Deadly Sins to be given to those who liked her, so that they would despair as much as she did.

If the Holy Grail summoning system is used, then it can only be said that it conforms to the concept of sin, but it cannot be said that one necessarily likes Him... nor can it be ruled out that one might gradually fall in love with Him.

But then Lilith felt something was off.

Surely it's impossible to be so lucky as to summon a being that fits the concept and who has already fallen in love with Him beforehand?

I doubt it. They killed them so quickly I didn't see it at all, and I was the only one around for so long...

"Well, let's give it a try anyway."

Lilith, as always, chose lust.

After all, she didn't think jealousy, anger, greed, and gluttony were very reliable. As for the most crucial one, pride... Lilith felt that it would most likely summon that 'conceptual artifact' that even she had never seen before, which was an 'angel' that had developed self-awareness and fallen. But Lilith had heard that it had become some kind of emperor.

In short, because of Lilith's choice

After the gods retreated in the Age of Gods, within the planet where they resided, in the region where the Hindu gods lived, on the sacred mountain that was exactly the same as the Himalayas on Earth, was also the home of Durga, the great goddess who governed the Hindu gods—within the Himalayas.

"babble?!"

Kama instantly felt an itch all over his face and body.

Could it be Durga...?

Kama crossed his arms and met Durga's indifferent blood-red eyes, which seemed to have no expression.

"Don't try anything funny in front of me, Kama. If you are dissatisfied, I will punish you as your husband's representative. You must not do anything strange."

559: Mom, please help my mother-in-law (daughter) this once! (5k)

You must not do anything strange.

Amid Durga's seemingly serious yet naturally alert voice, Kama was locked in a rather intense eye contact with her.

Both of them had bloodshot eyes, but when Kama met Durga's gaze, who was now a great goddess, she felt a sudden fear, as was her usual self. She suddenly had an impulse to throw herself on the ground and roll around in a rage.

Although Kama understood that what he did had no effect on Durga, he thought that it might have worked if it were Ganesh instead.

"Hey Durga, do you really have nothing better to do than keep an eye on me 24/7?"

Kama suppressed the unknown turmoil spreading from his heart to his entire body, and clasped his hands in a relaxed posture no different from usual.

"There is no shadow of demon within my perception range."

"In this day and age, how could any demon kings or Asuras possibly emerge? They would have all been burned to death long ago, like an eyesore rat scurrying around in a house fire!"

"You are."

Speechless.

This is the truth. Both of them have returned after resolving their respective singularities. As the great goddess who governs India, Durga naturally saw at a glance that the demonic nature of one of her husband's lovers, Kama, had become far too strong at some point. If she were not careful, she would become a 'demon' again, which means she would become a beast once more.

This is natural, since Novia has given all of Mara's concept to Kama, which has completely completed her role as Mara.

But for Durga, it's alright.

Even if Kama truly became a beast, she could still revert it to its original form...

Normally, a pantheon has its own means of dealing with the beasts that appear in its own pantheon. The most troublesome ones are the end devices that are weaker than the beasts, which can be considered part of the game's mechanics.

but,

These are all things from a distant time, belonging only to the time when the Age of Gods still existed.

"Oh, wow, truly unparalleled in the world!" Kama clapped his hands in delight. "As expected of Durga!"

Despite Kama's beaming smile, Durga's expression remained unchanged, still as frosty as ever.

Ugh, this is so troublesome.

Looking at Durga, who was ruthless and unapproachable only towards him, Kama could only smile on the surface while cursing him fiercely in his heart.

As for why Durga only acted this way towards him, Kama could guess some of the reasons. Besides the fact that he would transform into a beast, the main reason was probably what happened with Banda...

But you can't entirely blame her!

Everyone had been there for a month, so it was all that Supreme Bhagavan's fault!

In any case, I was on the side of 'refusing to give Moses' at the time, although most people, under the leadership of the Trinity, generally adhered to this position.

But putting all that aside for now, the immediate question is how to escape Durga's surveillance...

If it weren't for the almost instinctive reaction within him, Kama might have continued to waste time with Durga on this side. But this sudden, tingling sensation that spread throughout his entire body and soul... Kama felt there was only one possibility in this world that could make him feel this way, and that was—

Gavia, you need to think of yourself!

How should I put it? It's only natural, after all, she loves me the most, and I love her the same way.

Of course, Kama could not deny that Durga and Mosini were no less beautiful than her.
