š Scene ā The Return of the Ruler of Death
Lilith stared at the corpse before her with focusā¦
It was not an ordinary corpse.
It wasā¦
The remains of one of the forgotten rulers.
Or ratherā
What was left of him after he had been destroyed long ago.
She said coldly:
"Howā¦ did you take possession of this deformed corpse?"
The corpse did not answer immediately.
Instead, it stared at her for a few momentsā¦
Then let out a cold, lifeless laugh:
"I have returnedā¦ to reclaim what is mine."
"Lilithā¦ will you help me?"
Lilith narrowed her eyes in confusion:
"You want to take control of the demonic continent againā¦?"
"Just like you did in the past?"
Then she smiled with deadly sarcasm:
"But look at yourselfā¦"
"You've become nothing more than a corpse."
"A body that can be killedā¦"
"You are no longer an immortal ruler."
Anger ignited in the creature's eyesā¦
And it spoke in a distorted voice:
"Thisā¦ is the price I paid."
"Sacrificeā¦ to return to this world."
Lilith laughed lightly and waved her hand dismissively:
"A pleasure meeting youā¦ corpse."
In an instantā
She disappeared.
š Scene ā The Ruler's Anger
The creature looked at the place where she vanishedā¦
And said with slight irritation:
"If I could kill herā¦ I would have done it long ago."
"She is stillā¦ the same."
He looked at his new bodyā¦
In silence.
Then muttered:
"I won't rush this timeā¦"
"I don't know what that woman will doā¦"
"She isā¦ unpredictable."
š Scene ā Lilith in the Sky
Far from the continent of Miraā¦
Lilith was flying over the sea at tremendous speed.
She said with slight concern:
"Why has that ruler returnedā¦?"
"Wasn't he annihilated long ago?"
She thought for a momentā¦
But found no answer.
She shook her headā¦
And headed toward the Fallen Islands.
Butā
Before reaching themā
She suddenly stopped.
She felt something strange in the sky.
She changed direction quicklyā¦
And moved toward the source of that energy.
As she approachedā
She laughed coldly:
"It seems the angelsā¦ still possess some power."
She had sensed the Roots of the Sky belonging to the angelsā¦
Protected by ancient magic.
She looked toward the hidden islandsā¦
Then suddenlyā
Her expression changed.
"This powerā¦"
"Is terrifying."
She sensed the presence of an extremely powerful entity there.
She immediately stepped back.
And thought to herself:
"Did they manage to train someone with this level of powerā¦ in such a short time?"
She couldn't comprehend it.
And she didn't risk staying.
She vanished quicklyā
Heading back toward the demonic continent.
š Scene ā The Decision to Return
As she traveledā¦
She thought:
"Why would the dragons allow the angels to remain near themā¦?"
"And why would they leave the corpse of that evil rulerā¦ on their land?"
She knew very wellā
Dragons possessed immense powerā¦
And terrifying instincts for danger.
Soā¦
She couldn't understand what was happening.
This timeā
She didn't rely on herself.
Instead, she decided to go to the only one who might have the answer.
The Demon King.
š Scene ā The Demon King's Warning
After some timeā¦
Lilith arrived at the demonic continent.
She went straight to her father's throneā¦
Stood before him, and told him everything that had happened.
The Demon King sat in silenceā¦
His massive body like a mountain.
His red eyesā¦
Radiated terrifying power.
Any weak being who looked into themā
Would die instantly.
Lilith looked at him calmlyā¦
Waiting for his response.
Finallyā¦
He spoke.
In a low voice, yet filled with overwhelming authority:
"Do not leave the demonic continent from now onā¦ Lilith."
"Not youā¦ nor any of the rulers."
"Do you understand?"
Lilith's eyes widened in shock:
"Why, Father?"
Then she added confidently:
"If you're worried about that corpseā¦ it doesn't even have a quarter of its former power."
"And it will never return to what it was."
"And if you mean the angelsā¦"
"No matter how much power they regainā¦ they won't surpass us."
She paused for a moment, then said:
"So why this decision?"
The Demon King looked at herā¦
Then smiled faintly with sarcasm:
"Do you think I even consider those beings?"
He continued coldly:
"Yes, the return of that ruler is a dangerā¦"
"But as you saidā¦ he will never return to what he was."
"He lost everythingā¦ in the distant past."
Then he looked toward the sky, as if seeing the unseen:
"As for the angelsā¦"
"They think they have regained their power."
A deeper smirk appeared:
"But theyā¦ are still fools."
Lilith was silent for a momentā¦
Then said slowly:
"Thenā¦ why are you concerned?"
Her father looked at her directlyā¦
And said in a completely different tone:
"I am not concerned about them."
He pausedā¦
Then said:
"I am concerned aboutā¦ the dragons."
Lilith's eyes widened.
"Andā¦ what they are planning."
Silence filled the space.
Then he added in a low voice, carrying a strange weight:
"What they are preparing forā¦"
"Is not something simple."
Lilith felt something newā¦
Real concern.
She thought for a momentā¦
But before she could askā
The Demon King shook his head and closed his eyes:
"Go and rest nowā¦ my child."
"You have not yet recoveredā¦ from our last battle."
Lilith froze for a few secondsā¦
Then looked at her body.
She rememberedā
The battle a thousand years ago.
When she fought alongside her father on the front linesā¦
Against the angels.
The injuriesā¦
The painā¦
The destruction.
She shook her head firmly, trying to forget those memories.
Then bowed slightly and said:
"Farewellā¦ Father."
And disappeared.
š Scene ā Years Later in Asgard
Many years passedā¦
In Asgardā
Odin sat calmly upon his throne.
Before himā¦
His children, and the children of his brothersā¦
Played innocently.
The scene was peacefulā¦
Reassuring.
Butā
Suddenlyā¦
Odin feltā¦
Something strange.
He slowly raised his headā¦
His eyes narrowingā¦
