Chapter 93: Seductive Nights and Lilith
“That’s right, Alpha. Child of Gustav, the apostle of the great and evil God of Destroyer.”
Cold reptilian eyes reflected Arachne. Alpha grinned wickedly, revealing his bloody teeth.
“Krr!”
Flick!
Alpha whipped his tail at Arachne.
“Eek!”
The tall shadow loomed over her, heralding death.
Baaam!
Alpha’s tail struck deeply into the ground! Had she moved an inch to the side, she’d have been dead!
“Huff! Huff!” Arachne gasped in quick, short breaths. She crumbled weakly to the ground.
As he watched her, Alpha spoke with arrogance, “Grr. The nerve of this talking spider! Saying that I needed help from a damn insect! What can you even do?”
Krrr, krrr!
The three crocodiles lurking behind Alpha laughed at Arachne in unison.
These accursed lizards! Arachne gritted her teeth. Still, she had to endure this humiliation. She had to pay for losing a hundred billion troops and three apostles with her life. Not even her title as the Goddess of the Empire, nor the favors of the emperor and the empire's gods, could save her.
Now, her last chance at survival was defeating that evil god, Yu Il-Shin, and this giant lizard was perfect for the job. Not only was the lizard an apostle, it also reigned over Gustav’s other children. Above all, the frosty chill surrounding his tail.
“Ugh...”
The dying giant at Alpha’s feet groaned as his ability was being absorbed. Yes, such was Alpha’s power. Hence, Alpha definitely had an advantage over the evil god.
Whiiiing! Ruuumble!
The sounds of helicopters and sirens echoed around the abandoned building, growing louder with each passing second.
Alpha looked outside the broken window, frowning. “Krr. They’re here already? Filthy humans! Brothers, begin the ritual!”
Thud thud!
Then, the crocodiles formed a circle around Carlos. As he groaned, the three kneeled on the ground.
“Hyiii! Monsters! W-what are you doing!” Carlos was stricken in fear.
Snickering, Alpha grabbed his head.
“Kujitolea kwa Mungu(Sacrifice to the gods).”
Tzzz!
Then, a blood-red magic circle appeared around Carlos.
“S-sav—...Arghhhh!”
Ssss— Swoosh!
Carlos melted like salt meeting water and was sucked in instantly.
Tzzz!
Black aura exploded from Alpha and the other three crocodiles. In exchange for the sacrifice, the God of Destroyer had shared his power with them.
Basking in the surging power, Alpha’s eyes glowed with killing intent.
“Let’s go, Brothers! We’re getting out of here!”
“Krrr!” his brothers followed behind excitedly.
They didn’t know defeat. Humans were so much weaker than them, yet Alpha didn’t underestimate them. They could pose a challenge in large numbers but were weaker one-on-one. Since they were newly born, he and his siblings wanted to take time to amass strength.
There’s more of them than I thought.
In no time at all, the elites from the Brazilian Hunter Association, along with hundreds of military soldiers, had surrounded the abandoned building. Among them, there were five S-rank Hunters.
Briefly, Alpha glanced back at his brothers. He could use them as baits to escape.
Poook!
But in the next moment, Alpha and his brothers were covered in Arachne’s webs! Alpha’s eyes widened in shock, burning with anger.
“How dare you, you insolent insect! Die!” Alpha raised his claw, about to crush Arachne.

“Achoo!”
Ugh, who is it? Who cursed me? Well, it’s probably the cold.
Two moons hung in the sky, as if looking down on me. I was still stranded in the mountains. With my phone out of service, I had to wait for the sun to rise. I wasn’t foolish enough to navigate this darkness. At least, I wasn’t alone, which was comforting.
Flutter!
-Kyaaaaa!
-Kyaaaaaaaaa~!
...Let me rephrase that. The angels might be the size of sparrows, but having 10,000 of them around me was just crazy. Moreover, they were a rowdy bunch! They laughed and chattered boisterously. I felt like the only adult among a crowd of kindergarteners!
Haa. I should just sleep instead.
When I tried to sleep, using my flowers as my blanket, something tugged at my bangs.
Flutter flutter—
Unlike the rest of the angels, the one in a black helmet pulled my hair while flying in the air. “Hmm? What is it?”
-----
[Yu Il-Shin’s Angel Soldier]
Originally Ko Sa-Deuk’s Yaksha soldiers. Reborn as angels after being purified by benevolent power.
Special note: Has a favor to ask of you.
-----
“...A favor?”
Slide—
Then, the angel soldier removed its helmet. Multicolored eyes shone brightly, seemingly imbued with magic. As I stared at them, I felt drawn into them.
Ding!
[The innate power Blind Eyes of God has been activated.]
Then, I saw its—Lilith’s—past as an apostle of the evil god, Seductive Nights.
***
Darkness spread all around me like the vast ocean. At its center was a goddess who seemed like a giant womb, conceiving life. Her name was Seductive Nights. She was a great malevolent god who’d seduced, corrupted, and devoured countless gods and mortals. But now, she’d fallen and was breathing her last.
To the beautiful, naked woman bowing beneath her, she spoke weakly.
-...Listen, my last daughter.
“Please speak, Great Mother.”
-Cough cough! At the cost of every ounce of my power, I succeeded only just in stopping the God of Destroyer. He’d devoured all of my familiars. At this rate, it won’t take long until this world and I perish.
“What can I do, Great Mother?”
-The next world he’s targeting is destined for destruction, yet untouched by causality. Harvest souls there for my restoration. Bring as many strong and pure souls as you can before the God of Destroyer devours them! Keep this in mind!
Unlike her divine status, her voice had an eagerness—a desperation to cling onto life, even on rotten ropes.
“Rest assured, Great Mother. I will definitely harvest enough souls to restore you and our world.”
-Yes, I believe in you. No male of any race will ever be able to resist your charms.
Seductive Nights acknowledged her last daughter’s irresistible charms.
-Go forth, Lilith. A summoning gate to that world has been opened by the one who seeks the demonic powers. Had it been my other familiars, it’d have been a fragile gate. But it’s perfect for you, a newborn.
Riiiip!
The air ripped open, its size enough for a woman to pass through.
“I promise to return from my mission, Great Mother.”
Then, without hesitation, Lilith leaped into the unknown world as per her mother’s instruction.
“Wah! A girl! W-who are you!”
Such was Lilith’s first meeting with Ko Sa-Deuk on earth. He was ten years old at the time, and was about to sacrifice a rabbit on a bloody magic circle.
