“All debts will be paid in full.”
Upon hearing those words, Alburzoa burst into insane laughter.
“Hahaha! Have you lost your mind? You think you can collect debts from me?”
Alburzoa’s avatar gradually began to rise into the air.
“Just because I spared you once when my prey’s thoughts interrupted me doesn’t mean you can defeat me. A portion of my divinity has transferred to you and you have achieved a deity status. However, there already exists an overwhelming difference in divinity.”
Woooooong
“Even among the same divine status, there are differences in divinity! An incomplete deity like you is not on the same level as I am!”
Alburzoa’s dark divinity swirled around and attacked Lilith.
Kwang!
“This is not a fight.”
“Did you catch me?”
A gigantic vortex was held in one of Lilith’s hands.
“This is the judgment delivered to the false God of Evil.”
Fresh green
A teardrop bloomed beside Lilith.
Srrng
Lilith drew her sword from within it.
The divine presence that Lily had passed to Lilith began to swirl together with Lilith’s ‘Chaos’ energy.
“Judgment! It’s judgment!”
The illusion surrounding them melted away and flowed into Alburzoa’s avatar.
“Do you think you are superior just because you managed to block it once? Who do you think this Alburzoa is?”
A massive amount of divinity gathered and turned Alburzoa into a demon god.
“No energy can catch up to divinity! Only divinity surpasses all!”
Alburzoa charged at Lilith.
And.
Kwahzz!!
“W, why! To a chick with this little divinity! There’s no way I can lose!”
Alburzoa froze in mid-air.
“Only divinity surpasses all, huh? So you mean you’ve swallowed Lily too?”
Srrng
Lilith approached Alburzoa, wielding a sword filled with divine energy.
“But Lily’s divinity…”
The energy of ‘Chaos’ rapidly engulfed the surroundings.
“The moment this power, created from my love for Lily, mingles… nothing can be an enemy.”
“This is nonsense!”
Was it that Lilith, combining Chaos energy with divinity, overwhelmed Alburzoa?
This is the true power of the ‘Chaos’ God of Evil.
“Pay for your sins against Lily!”
Kwang!
A massive hole appeared in Alburzoa’s chest.
Behind it, Lilith was standing, holding the core.
I couldn’t even see it.
Even now, I am in a transcendent state powered by Dia.
That is a true deity’s battle.
The true power held by the ‘Chaos’ God of Evil.
If I didn’t have the bug-like ability to stop time, I wouldn’t have been able to escape, much less defeat Lilith; her power was overwhelming.
An overwhelming gulf of strength that made direct confrontation seem impossible…
I doubted whether my avatar’s plans in the Nova Empire could succeed.
“Unbelievable….”
Kuung!
Alburzoa’s colossal form collapsed and shattered.
Woooooong
The space around them began violently shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
Thud!
“Lily… I avenged you.”
Lilith began to cry as she sat down.
“Even after death, even being left with only thoughts, you always… for me…”
Even having ascended to divinity, Lilith wailed like a young girl.
She bore no resemblance to that malicious Lilith I had seen in [Deus Ex Machina], it was almost confusing.
Even though Lily was dead, it seemed like she had defeated Alburzoa with her help.
So why had she become a God of Evil?
Ku-gu-gung!
“You little brat! How dare you! How dare you!”
At that moment, Alburzoa’s voice echoed throughout the space.
Is he still alive?
“I should have destroyed the core. How come?”
“Because of you, the core that formed my existence was destroyed. I can no longer return. Soon, I will perish.”
Was the reason the avatar vanished earlier because the core was destroyed?
“However, I still have some power left. I can still carry out one final act of revenge against you!”
Final revenge, huh?
Is it a last desperate struggle?
But even Alburzoa in full form could not defeat Lilith; could Alburzoa without the core inflict any wounds on her?
“You little God. Do you know? The power of the divine status and the power of divinity are so ‘omnipotent’ that it is possible to even resurrect the dead.”
Resurrect the dead?
“You mean bring the dead back to life?”
“Indeed. The woman you love can be resurrected, as long as I can manipulate the soul of that woman still asleep within me and give her a new life using divine power.”
“If… If that’s true!”
“But! I will completely annihilate the soul with my remaining strength! So she can never be reincarnated again!”
“No, no! Nooooooo!”
“Uwahahahaha! Despair!”
Kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah!
A tremendous explosion engulfed the space.
Since the world was based on memories, I suffered no damage at all.
Did Alburzoa self-destruct?
Attempting to destroy its own prey, Lily’s soul within itself?
That would definitely be the most effective act of revenge Alburzoa could carry out in that state, but…
I never expected it to self-destruct.
Is he insane?
As the smoke from the massive flow of energy cleared, Lilith emerged.
As a deity, and having defeated a high deity like Alburzoa, she seemed untouched physically, but…
The psychological shock looked immense.
“Lily… Lily… No… Not this ending…”
Lilith’s gaze lost its focus.
Is this… the reason Lilith has fallen?
“Lilyiiiiii!”
The mad God of Evil.
What a mess he’s making.
If only he had just died quietly, Lilith would have resurrected Lily and they would have happily lived ever after…
But no, he turned it into a tragedy, birthing a powerful God of Evil.
The subsequent scenes were a series of expected events.
Lilith, unable to overcome the shock and sorrow for a long time.
“Lily. I will find a way no matter what.”
Only after a long time did Lilith manage to shake off her grief and rise.
“No matter how long it takes. By any means. Even if it means destroying all dimensions.”
All the divinity that formed Lilith’s deity was completely consumed by the ‘Chaos’ energy.
“So, as the ‘Chaos’ has stated, I am the God of Gluttony, Saros. What is your name?”
“I am Lilith.”
The other God of Evil, Saros, who came to find Lilith.
“The ‘Chaos’ has?”
“Lilith’s, the God of Desire, Lilith.”
“Nice to meet you, Lilith.”
She discarded the name Erika and took on the name Lilith.
From that point on, she formed the forces of ‘Chaos,’ invading countless dimensions and succumbing to ‘Chaos.’
Until the day comes when she can resuscitate Lily by tainting all dimensions with ‘Chaos.’
Even when witnessing the mournful tragedy of Lily and Erika, I thought Lilith was a little pitiful.
Born as a fragile girl, she tragically lost her best friend to the Evil God’s greed.
But as I witnessed what Lilith had done afterwards, those thoughts faded away.
The interdimensional invasion activities.
There was no way to justify this.
The mass slaughter at a continental level following the fall of the Labyrinthos Empire was already crossing the line.
What were the developers of [Deus Ex Machina] thinking when they crafted this story?
Did they think this could be resolved?
Anyway, what I need to do now is not to cry over such a tragic story.
It’s to manipulate the memories of Lilith, which I was lucky enough to seal, and turn her to my side.
Alburzoa, the God of Evil, has been toppled.
Is there anyone else as attractive to pull under my banner?
If she hadn’t been a God of Evil, I might have felt some guilt.
But considering the atrocities she committed in her attempt to save just one Lily, I felt none of that.
In fact, it would be the right thing to do in this universe.
And as I scoured her memories, I found a good method.
Lilith’s ‘Desire’.
The very essence that constitutes her being, Lily.
After all, the identity that Lilith holds, ‘Lilith,’ is probably a manifestation of her debt and guilt toward Lily.
What if I overwrite those memories about Lily with myself?
No, that may feel too alien.
It’s a bit difficult to mistake a young girl for a boy.
So…
What if I made her believe my reincarnation is Lily?
This sounds pretty good!
*
Having emerged using the powers of Dia, I altered her memories and came out.
No matter how divine she may be, she is now confined to me.
Manipulating her memories within the frozen time was entirely possible.
Of course, complete manipulation was impossible, and it was only partial, but that was enough for me.
Finally, I erased the memories I had entered into her mental space.
Now she would never imagine I tampered with her memories.
And.
“Luke PulseRay… huh?”
Lilith suddenly seemed bewildered.
“That can’t be… But it shouldn’t be…?”
As expected, the plan went smoothly.
