The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 452: “What If You Add Me to the Mix?”

The heavy pressure that had filled the royal hall vanished in an instant.

Everyone looked at Lildas, who was tearfully clutching her face, their emotions incredibly complex.

But they didn’t dare to speak or ask, only quickly lowering their heads and continuing to feign piety.

Only Lucy, after a wry smile, hurried forward and helped Lildas up.

“Lady Lildas, why are you here?”

Lucy asked, seemingly helpless.

Lildas immediately turned her tearful face to Lucy, looking angry.

“Can’t I come?” Lildas said, both indignant and aggrieved. “If I didn’t come, you might already be married by the time I find out.”

“Then you should have just stayed in the Divine Realm.” Lucy couldn’t help but whisper. “That way, you wouldn’t have embarrassed yourself.”

“You…” Lildas was furious.

However, seeing the strange expressions of the people prostrating themselves on the ground, Lildas seemed to become aware of her image and quickly straightened her face, looking at Shien, whose lips were twitching.

“Are you Shien Buztout? The human who stole my blessed one?”

Lildas’s expression was unfriendly.

Even more so than Shien’s earlier.

But now, the displeasure in Shien’s heart had vanished without a trace, replaced by helplessness.

Divine might like a prison?

Cold and merciless?

What was that? Had it been eaten?

Could this goddess… be a joke?

Shien sighed.

“I said, I am Shien.” Shien said listlessly. “But what do you mean by ‘stole your blessed one’?”

Lildas seemed even angrier.

“Isn’t that the case?” Lildas said, “You actually got engaged to my Lucy without telling me. If it weren’t for a lower-ranking god reporting that a human who received a revelation from Nadue and had a close relationship with the Dragon Demon had appeared in the human world, I wouldn’t have known about this at all.”

It seemed that the things Shien had done had already reached this goddess’s ears through the Divine Race’s investigation.

Shien really wanted to say,

“Seriously?” Shien narrowed his eyes. “Since when do humans who receive a god’s blessing have to report their marriage to the god who blessed them?”

“This…” Lildas was speechless.

Because there was indeed no such thing.

Although gods blessed and protected humans, they didn’t interfere in their lives.

Even if a human committed heinous crimes and became a vicious criminal, the gods would only be disappointed and regretful, removing the blessing from that person, and nothing more.

Of course, if it was a serious incident that would affect the very foundation of the human race, the Divine Race, or even the Demon Race, then the gods would intervene.

However, generally speaking, gods shouldn’t interfere in the lives of those in the lower realm, let alone their marriages.

Or rather, most lower-ranking gods didn’t even bother with the lower realm beings, as they only bestowed blessings upon humans as part of their duties, like a job.

Only those who reached the level of Superior Gods, and whose blessing recipients were few and far between, all elites of the human race, would the gods pay attention to and guide.

As for the Three Goddesses, their blessing recipients might not even appear once in a thousand years, but once they did, it meant that they possessed astonishing potential and would become pillars of the human race in the future.

Under such circumstances, the Three Goddesses naturally valued those worthy of their blessings.

However, valuing them was one thing, guiding their growth and leading them on the right path was understandable, but interfering in their marriages was a bit too much.

Lildas suddenly realized that she was a bit unreasonable.

Just then…

“You’re still as clumsy as ever, Lildas.”

With these words, Airi, holding Lilith’s hand, stepped forward.

“Dragon Demon?”

Lildas was stunned.

She wasn’t stunned because of Airi’s presence here.

She also knew that Airi was currently with Shien, so she wasn’t surprised by her appearance.

But seeing Lilith with her, Lildas was truly surprised.

“You’re Lilith?” Lildas gasped, covering her mouth. “You broke free from the seal?”

Clearly, Lildas didn’t know about the Cosmos incident yet.

After all, Anima hadn’t told her, only mentioning it to Nadue, so Lildas was still in the dark.

Of course, seeing Lildas’s surprised expression upon seeing Lilith, everyone else was also a bit surprised.

They naturally knew Lilith, the mysterious expert who appeared beside Shien and protected him along with Airi when he annihilated the Lucica family.

But they didn’t know Lilith’s identity or background.

Now, seeing Lildas’s surprised look, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Could it be that this little girl’s background was so extraordinary that even the Goddess of Fate was surprised?

Everyone thought this.

Yuler, at the side, couldn’t help but speak.

When Lilith first appeared, the Pope of the temple had already noticed her.

Setting aside others, as the Pope, Yuler had a certain intuition about Lilith’s existence.

He felt that Lilith was likely a goddess, not an ordinary little girl.

Therefore, Yuler asked,

“Do you know this Miss Lilith, Lady Lildas?”

This question was met with a clear answer.

“How could I not know her?” Lildas said without thinking, as if she had no schemes at all, “Lilith, the evilest of evil gods, the demon girl who governs evil and chaos, the apex of evil gods and demon gods, born at the same time as Artemis, the Goddess of Justice, who turned the earth into hell ten thousand years ago, sealed by us because she lost control, whose power surpasses the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature, on par with Artemis, the strongest evil god comparable to a Demon Lord.”

Lildas’s words made everyone present gasp.

“The strongest evil god comparable to a Demon Lord?”

Yuler, Ancil, Harvis, Rockto, Lia, and the others looked at Lilith differently.

They hadn’t expected this mysterious expert to have such a formidable background.

No wonder…

No wonder even the Dragon Demon treated her as an equal, always taking her along.

With this Demon Lord’s arrogance, how could she treat someone like this if they weren’t of equal power?

So, not only did Shien have the support of a Demon Lord, but also an evil god whose power was comparable to a Demon Lord?

This fact shocked many.

Even Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika were the same.

They, like everyone else, didn’t know Lilith’s true identity.

During their time at the Buztout mansion, Lilith was either clinging to Shien, or being taken care of by Airi or Lasha. The four girls were very busy and rarely had the chance to interact with Lilith.

Who would have thought that Lilith’s background was so terrifying?

“No wonder…”

Vivian murmured, as if she understood something.

Lilith, on the other hand, facing Lildas’s gaze and everyone’s shock, didn’t change her expression at all, but instead came to Shien’s side, took his hand, and silently expressed her support for him.

“You…”

Lildas’s surprised gaze returned to Shien.

She didn’t know why Lilith had broken free from the seal.

She also didn’t know why Lilith was here and seemed to have successfully returned, no longer just a separated half wandering outside.

But she knew that the relationship between Lilith and Shien was definitely not ordinary.

Even Airi curled her lip, came to Shien’s other side, and took his other hand.

“I didn’t expect you to appear in a place like this, Lildas.” Airi said calmly, “No matter your purpose for being here, let me make this clear first. This human is someone Lilith and I favor. Even you can’t touch him so easily.”

Airi’s words made all the nobles present exchange glances, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy.

Yes.

They were truly envious and jealous.

Seeing Shien holding hands with Airi and Lilith, one on each side, they knew that his relationship with these two existences who could decide the fate of the world was much better than they had imagined.

With the support of a Demon Lord and an evil god, what couldn’t Shien achieve in the human world?

Only Lildas…

“…Although I don’t know what’s going on, are you sure you want to be my enemy?”

Lildas’s tone changed.

No, not just her tone, but even her aura changed.

Her clumsy and awkward demeanor vanished, replaced by the cold and merciless, divine might like a prison, terrifyingly powerful aura from before.

That feeling not only suffocated everyone, but also made Airi and Lilith’s expressions turn serious.

Shien also tensed up.

This goddess was still the strongest being in the three realms. He definitely couldn’t underestimate her because of her previous clumsiness.

It was true.

“Even if the two of you join forces against me, I wouldn’t say you’re not qualified, but I dare say you can’t stop me.” Lildas’s expression also changed, becoming calm and decisive. “Step aside. Fighting me here would be unwise.”

Only this goddess had the right to say these words.

If the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords were existences that transcended the limits of life, fundamentally different from other beings in the Divine, human, and Demon Realms, then among them, Lildas was undoubtedly at the apex.

Anima, the Goddess of Life, and Nadue, the Goddess of Nature, were on one level.

The Six Demon Lords were on a higher level, surpassing these two goddesses.

And Lildas was on another level, surpassing even the Demon Lords.

She alone occupied the position of the strongest. In the war a thousand years ago, she single-handedly fought against the Moon Demon and the Charm Demon, and even had the upper hand, showing her power.

But…

“What if you add me to the mix?”
