Lilith didn’t say anything in the face of Mendeln’s earnest call. She only lowered her head slightly and looked at her descendant.
The transformation between Void and matter was still going on in her body. Lilith’s naked skin was emitting a strange reflection, but what caught people’s attention the most were her cold pupils. For some reason, the color of Lilith’s pupils was alternating between black and gold, giving people a very unstable feeling.
Mendeln noticed this, but he didn’t know what was going on.
Fortunately, this situation didn’t last long. When Lilith’s body finally stabilized and cooled down, the color of her pupils was finally fixed, turning into two heterochromatic pupils, one black and one gold. Black tear stains appeared under her eyes, and her black lips looked extremely coquettish under the contrast of her pale skin. The bone demon horns with distinct veins also took the form of a demon king’s crown. The two thickest pairs gathered together and raised high to the sides, while the smaller pair curved down around her neck like sideburns.
Lilith tensed slightly, and a pair of enormous demon wings stretched out from her back.
This pair of enormous demon wings looked very ferocious. The wing membrane between the gaps of the wing bones was grayish-white, and at the end of the wings, several incomparably sharp bone spikes hung down to the ground, looking somewhat like those of Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades.
Behind Lilith, a slender tail hung down. There was no flesh and blood on this tail, and it was completely connected by bones. At first glance, it looked like a chain, and only the bones at the tip of the tail opened into claws.
The layer of blood that Lilith had passed through when she descended formed an enormous flesh and blood cloak behind her. But this flesh and blood cloak had now turned into blood-red petals that lingered around her body. These blood-red petals finally turned into a baroque dress that covered her. After putting on this black dress, she looked even more demonic.
In the form of a demon king, she had pale skin, strange pupils, and a gaze so cold that it could freeze people. Facing the demon queen’s gaze, Mendeln felt immense pressure. He knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and whispered, “First Mother, welcome back.”
But before he finished speaking, a tremendous force hit him and sent him flying. He slammed into a stone pillar opposite him, and with a bang, the stone pillar collapsed. He rolled on the rubble and bounced several times on the floor before finally stopping.
He struggled to get um and a trace of blood aDDeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t dare to do anything. He still walked over and knelt in front of Lilith.
He knew very well that after being exiled in the Void for so many years, Lilith had accumulated boundless anger in her heart that she needed to vent. This reaction was completely normal.
However, perhaps because the blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth made Lilith smell her bloodline, she didn’t attack him again. Instead, she slowly opened her mouth and said to him in a lazy and seductive voice, “Raise your head… ”
Mendeln raised his head as instructed. Then Lilith stretched out her pale finger and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. She placed her blood-stained finger on her black lips and tasted the blood.
“Ah-” Lilith’s throat emitted a moan. This captivating voice made Mendeln’s blood boil, and he hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up.
Although she didn’t do it deliberately, Lilith was the first succubus in the world. Even her unconscious movements exuded incomparable temptation to male creatures. Mendeln was very clear about this, so he didn’t dare to have any thoughts.
It was not because he respected Lilith. On the contrary, he was afraid! As the younger brother of Uldyssian, he still remembered the situation when Lilith first returned. Although she was the mother of the nephalem, she didn’t have any concept of ethics. When she transformed into a succubus, she had even seduced Uldyssian to have sex with her.
This was what Mendeln was afraid of. Once he had any thoughts about Lilith, she would notice, and it would be terrible…
“I remember the taste of this blood…” Fortunately, Lilith spoke at this moment.
“You’re… Mendeln, my descendant, right?”
“Yes, First Mother!” Mendeln replied with his head lowered.
“Mendeln…” Lilith’s index finger swiped across his face, and her sharp black nails drew a bloody mark on his face. Although the bloody mark quickly disappeared, this action made a trace of pleasure flash in the depths of her eyes. She said coldly in a charming voice, “My child, tell me. Back then, you saw Inarius exile me to the Void but didn’t save me. Now, you pulled me back from the Void and asked me to save you. Should I be angry with your actions?”
Lilith’s resentment was very strong. In fact, it was easy to understand when you imagined it. Back then, in order to protect the nephalem of Sanctuary, Lilith didn’t hesitate to fall out with Heaven and Hell at the same time. She had killed all the angels and demons in Sanctuary to protect her children.
However, these protected children turned into ingrates. Not only did they just watch on as she was exiled, but some even helped a little in this matter… Especially Uldyssian. Lilith had liberated his bloodline and bestowed him with unparalleled power. In the end, he used this power to imprison her, which led to her being successfully exiled by Inarius.
This exile had lasted for more than a thousand years. Staying in the lonely environment of the Void for a year would drive people crazy, let alone a thousand years. Lilith didn’t know how she had persevered.
Now, not only did these unfilial descendants not have any thoughts of atonement, but they even wanted to seek her help. Lilith didn’t know how they could say this…
Of course, Mendeln knew the cause and effect of the nephalem’s sins, but he didn’t want to argue with Lilith. When she first returned from the Void with hatred for Inarius, she had wanted to use the nephalem. And Uldyssian was unwilling to be used by Lilith, so he chose to resist. From the standpoints of the two sides, they both had their own reasons, so it was impossible to explain clearly.
Therefore, Mendeln said, “First Mother, I guided you back from the Void because something huge happened in Sanctuary. The High Heavens… is gone!”
“Oh?” Mendeln’s method of changing the topic was effective. After hearing this, Lilith was indeed interested. “What happened?”
Thus, Mendeln told Lilith what Trag’Oul had told him.
But what he didn’t expect was that after mentioning the name of the King of
Despair, Osiris, she suddenly shrieked. She abruptly hugged her head and looked like she was in pain.
At the same time, her pupils changed. The original heterochromatic pupils turned into two golden ones. A terrifying thing that he had never seen before erupted from Lilith. It was a black mist so deep that he couldn’t look directly at it. This mist enveloped her body, making her tremble.
When this power erupted, Mendeln retreated far away in horror and looked at Lilith in surprise and doubt while listening to her shrill roar echoing in the temple.
After a while, Lilith finally stopped trembling and quieted down. An invisible force enveloped her body and forced the deep dark mist back.
Mendeln asked carefully, “First Mother, what happened just now?”
“It’s nothing. I just… received a memory!” A look of surprise flashed in Lilith’s strange eyes.
She didn’t lie. She had indeed received a memory just now. This memory came from another clone of hers far away in another world!
Although she was not Mephisto’s true daughter, Lilith did indeed have some abilities that were very similar to Mephisto’s. For example, not every demon king had this ability to obtain memories from other clones.
“Osiris?” Lilith read this name. After receiving this memory, she finally remembered something and muttered to herself, “I see. Is he the figure who could move freely in the Void earlier? He’s indeed a strange demon… So, he brought the Red Sea Egg?”
Hearing what Lilith said, Mendeln was immediately puzzled. “First Mother, have you… seen the King of Despair, Osiris? Also, that terrifying power just now was….
“It’s nothing. Continue!” Of course, Lilith wouldn’t explain to Mendeln. In fact, the terrifying power that erupted from her body just now was Void corrosion! Lilith had been exiled in the Void for so long, so how could she not be corrupted by the Void? But this Void corruption was suppressed by her special power. If not for the short moment of absent-mindedness when she received the memory just now, the Void power in her body wouldn’t have easily erupted.
Mendeln didn’t dare to ask anything else and continued to recount what had happened recently. Finally, he said, “First Mother, the High Heavens has fallen, the Archangels are dead or missing, and the Burning Hells have won this war. Next, the demons may invade Sanctuary on a large scale. Their strength is unprecedented, and humans alone are unable to stop the army of Hell. We need your guidance! You… shouldn’t want to see your children slaughtered by demons, right?”
“Hmph!” Lilith snorted coldly and walked toward the exit without saying anything. Mendeln hesitated for a moment before following her out of the temple.
After arriving on the ground, Lilith gently flapped her demon wings, and the temple behind her immediately shook violently. Under the intense earthquake, the place that had once exiled Lilith immediately collapsed and was destroyed. She personally ended this disgusting building..
