Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Roy’s opinion, Lilith’s current situation was probably similar to his. After returning from the Void, she was also alone. If she wanted to take revenge on the Burning Hells, she had to have at least a sufficient number of troops. Unlike Roy, Lilith couldn’t summon demons from the Abyss. She had been away from the Abyss for too long. Even if she could summon some demons in the name of a demon king, the numbers might not be enough to meet her needs.

After thinking about it, he felt that she could only rely on her children, the nephalem.

However, it was not easy to form a nephalem army. Thanks to the repeated invasions of the seven demon kings and the Burning Hells, the nephalem had always been vigilant against demons. Roy put himself in Lilith’s shoes and imagined it. He felt that if she wanted to raise an army that belonged to her to fight against Hell, then the best entry point should be royal authority!

Although the nephalem didn’t have a large population, there were actually nearly a hundred large and small countries in the entire world. Not to mention the small kingdoms and city-states, there were the larger and more famous ones such as Khanduras, Entsteig, Westmarch, Lut Gholein, Kehjistan, and so on. The less famous ones were Duncraig, Bramwell, Skartara, Scosglen, etc. These were all large city-states and kingdoms with a relatively dense population in Sanctuary. In the repeated demon invasions, these countries had played quite an important role in resistance. If Lilith could control the monarchs of these countries and get them to give orders, she would soon be able to control a large number of nephalem troops.

After realizing this, Roy immediately mobilized his Demon Eyes to monitor some of the countries around Kehjistan, especially the palaces of these countries. The tiny Demon Eyes were completely invisible, and although they looked strange, they were not contaminated with the slightest demonic aura and dark power, so they were difficult to discover. He used these Demon Eyes to monitor dozens of monarchs at the same time, wanting to find traces of Lilith in this way.

His judgment was right. About five days later, a Demon Eye arranged in the city of Lut Gholein sent a faint fluctuation. He immediately focused his attention on this Demon Eye and saw the scene from it.

Lut Gholein was a neighboring city-state to the kingdom of Kehjistan, but this neighboring actually meant that they were separated by a relatively wide sea. In fact, Lut Gholein and Kehjistan were already divided into two countries on two continents. Lut Gholein was on the eastern continent, and Kejistan was on the western continent. Although the demon army led by Inarius was still wreaking havoc on the western continent, the eastern continent was also affected. During this period of time, the city of Lut Gholein was often harassed by a large number of flying demons, and these flying demons flew over from the sea.

Facing the demon invasion, the city of Lut Gholein didn’t have any good ideas. It could only strengthen its defense and carry all kinds of large anti-air ballistas onto the city wall. Numerous city guards patrolled the city day and night.

It was ten o’clock at night, and the lord of Lut Gholein had not rested yet. He was sitting in his palace and reading all kinds of official documents, and a quill was constantly moving. Under the light of the lamp, the lord’s bald head was reflecting light. From this scene, he could be considered a rather diligent lord.

But what he didn’t know was that on the roof of his palace, an invisible Demon Eye was observing him…

Perhaps because he was exhausted, the lord stopped writing and rubbed his forehead with a headache. But at this moment, the oil lamp used to illuminate the palace suddenly extinguished.

The lord was stunned for a moment. But before he could react, he saw a dim, blood-like red light suddenly cover the palace. The lord looked up and found that a passage had suddenly appeared not far in front of him. The dim, blood-like light was coming from this passage.

The bald lord seemed a little flustered, but he found that his surroundings had fallen into dead silence, and he couldn’t hear the voices of any palace guards at all. At the same time, a call from the depths of his heart came faintly, making him stand up in a daze. He moved his slightly fat body and slowly walked toward the passage.

Seeing this, Roy immediately controlled the Demon Eye to fly up and follow the lord into the passage.

The passage was full of blood-red light, and there seemed to be a lazy murmur echoing, but it was impossible to tell where the voice came from. The bald lord walked along the passage in a daze and soon arrived at the end.

At the end of the passage was a dazzling blood-red color, and a demon was standing with their hands by their side in this blood-red light.

When the bald lord saw the demon, he was shocked. He began to retreat in fear, wanting to leave the passage. But he found that although this demon didn’t take a step, the demon was approaching him bit by bit. Finally, when the bald lord left the passage, the demon followed him out.

Through the scene transmitted by the Demon Eye, Roy was shocked when he saw the appearance of this demon. It was indeed Lilith!

Although the Lilith of this world and the Lilith that Roy had come into contact with in the Darksiders world were different in appearance, her female demon form, the demon horns on her head, and the cold aura unique to a queen emanating from her were all so similar that he immediately realized that she was Lilith!

Compared to the Lilith in the Darksiders world, this Lilith in front of him looked more human. Except for her head and the demon wings on her head, her body was completely a human female. The fair skin exposed in front of her chest even looked so exquisite, and the two hemispheres wrapped in the black baroque dress faintly exuded a strong charm.

She walked toward the bald lord step by step, and the bald lord retreated in shock step by step until his back hit his office table. At this moment, she was already standing in front of the bald lord.

Although the bald lord looked fat, he was not actually short. But when he stood in front of Lilith, he could only reach the height of her abdomen. This Blood Queen’s demon form was quite tall.

The bald lord looked at the female demon in front of him and didn’t dare to move at all. At this moment, Lilith lowered her head slightly and stretched out her right hand.

Under the terrified gaze of the bald lord, Lilith’s right hand grabbed… a necklace on his chest. The pendant of this necklace had a circular shape in the middle, and two slender forks extended out from below. She held this pendant and played with it in her hand.

The pendant worn by the bald lord was the proof of identity for an organization, the organization formed by Uldyssian: the Edyrem. During the Sin War, the Edyrem had gathered a group of first-generation nephalem. After Uldyssian’s death, although the organization disbanded, its inheritance was still there. Perhaps because of the outstanding bloodlines, most of their descendants had extraordinary achievements. The bald lord was one of them. His ancestors were the pioneers of the city-state of Lut Gholein. After becoming the lord of Lut Gholein, this iconic necklace was passed down from generation to generation.

In fact, if one looked carefully, they would find that there were many strange objects and portraits in the bald lord’s study. These objects and portraits were all memories of the era of the Edyrem. But because the Edyrem’s memories were removed after the Sin War, the bald lord didn’t know this and only thought that these things were portraits of his ancestors. Even the pendant he was wearing, he didn’t understand the meaning behind it.

After playing with the pendant for a while, Lilith quickly put it down. She lowered her head, looked at the lord, and moved closer and closer to him. The bald lord didn’t dare to move at all and could only watch helplessly as this demoness approached his neck.

Lilith stretched out her hand and touched the bald lord’s neck while sniffing it. Of course, she was not smelling the lord’s sweat but the smell of blood from the arteries in his neck.

From the scent of the blood, Lilith smelled the bloodline of a first-generation nephalem on the bald lord. For a moment, the black tears under Lilith’s eyes seemed to deepen. She whispered in the bald lord’s ear, “Unfilial child, it’s time for you to atone…”

Speaking of which, Lilith was definitely extremely dissatisfied with Uldyssian. She had personally liberated his bloodline and allowed him to obtain great power. But she didn’t expect that he would turn on her and trap her, causing her to be banished by Inarius again. Now that she saw a descendant of the Edyrem again, she naturally didn’t have a good tone.

The bald lord’s entire body was stiff, and he didn’t dare to move, but he still asked, “W-who are you? What do you want to do?”.

“I am your mother, your creator…” Lilith murmured in the lord’s ear. “Child, now that I’ve returned, it’s time to repay what you owe me…”

Hearing this, the bald lord immediately realized Lilith’s identity. Although the memories of the Sin War had been removed, the origin of Sanctuary had always been circulating in history books. Of course, the people knew about the existence of Lilith, the mother of the nephalem.

However, as mentioned earlier, Lilith’s demonic appearance made the bald lord unable to feel any attachment to this mother at all. Instead, there was only

fear…

He didn’t know how to answer Lilith. In fact, Lilith didn’t need him to answer. After returning from the Void, she realized that the thoughts of her children had long changed. Relying on blood relations was no longer enough to control them. If she wanted to control them, she had to completely conquer their thoughts and minds.

Just as Lilith was about to attack the bald lord, she suddenly realized something and looked up at the roof of the palace.

When Roy saw Lilith’s gaze from the scene transmitted by the Demon Eye, he immediately realized that Lilith had discovered the Demon Eye! After thinking about it, Roy removed the invisible state of the Demon Eye.

Lilith stretched out her hand and took the Demon Eye into her palm. She looked at the small winged eye coldly and asked, ‘Who are you?”

Soon, Roy’s answer came from the Demon Eye. “… Osiris!”

Hearing this name, Lilith suddenly showed a cold smile. “Very good. I will come and find you soon…”

Then without waiting for Roy’s response, she crushed the Demon Eye.

Just like that, Roy and Lilith’s first exchange ended in less than three seconds.

The transmission was stopped. Roy, who was far away on the Frozen Throne in the Frozen Sea, couldn’t help frowning as he pondered over Lilith’s last sentence.

What does she mean? Is she listing me as an enemy or… Roy was a little unsure.

The communication time was too short, and he didn’t know what kind of state Lilith was in now. Normally speaking, he and Lilith of this world were basically strangers, but she seemed to know his name from the communication. Did she Imow because of the name of the King of Despair that spread after he conquered the High Heavens, or did she obtain memories from clones of other worlds like Mephisto?

After thinking about it for a while, Roy let it go. Okay, it’s useless to think too much now.. Since she said that she would come and find me soon, I’ll wait…

well know whether shes friend or foe the moment we meet!
