Book 4: Chapter 118: Half Truth

“What do you want then?”

After wasting so much of her breath, it was only expected that Cornelia was going to make some kind of request. And this request was already well within Lilith’s expectations.

“I want you... along with the hundreds of your companions... to leave this world at once.”

The expression on Lilith’s face showed that she had already expected all of this.

Stuck in such a stalemate, the other party had no other option than to let them go no matter how much hatred she held for them.

The existence of outsiders in this world would lead to its destruction. Any power above the saint realm would also lead to its destruction. If Cornelia needed to wipe out all of them, she must resort to that kind of power.

Hence, this was already a stalemate. The only way to break it was for the outsiders to leave on their own accord. There is no result without a cause, let alone a stalemate.

“Fine, we can leave. But with a condition.”

“Sparing your lives is already a great grace. You dare negotiate terms with me?”

Cornelia gave up on suppressing her emotions. “Do you really think you are in a position to do as you please?” she asked murderously.

Lilith placed her hands on hips and stuck her chest out. “Of course. If you don’t like it, you are welcome to smite me with power beyond saint-level.”

“You think I wouldn’t? I can surely use that kind of power for a few minutes. This world isn’t that fragile.”

“Is that so? Do you think my ancestor will just sit back and watch me getting killed?”

“If he does that, you will all die too.”

“We’re going to die anyway, I might as well make sure you’re going down with us!”

“YOU...!”

Cornelia gave Lilith a hard glare, before rubbing her throbbing temples in a defeat. “Fine, state your condition.”

“It’s very simple... Tell me how to bring the Titans out from here,” Lilith said.

Truth be told, it had always been her intention to take the Titans with her. She was thinking of asking Lesiah if she had any idea, but this person standing in front of her clearly understood the situation better. Hence, she would be the most reliable source of information.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

However, that idea was shot down by Cornelia without a second thought.

“Bring the Titans out from here? Impossible!”

“But that also means you won’t gain anything else.”

“I don’t need anything else. I’m very content.”

Cornelia glanced over at Lilith again. “So, do you understand now? The Titans are not allowed to exist in this world. They may be products of nature, but that doesn’t mean they belong.”

“Then those black devils...”

“They are also the products of nature. They are born to bring everything back on track, much like the immune system of a living being. They remove harmful things from this world.”

“Immune system...”

Lilith couldn’t help but recall Shiloah’s words.

The black devils are the wolves. The Titans are the sheep. Wolves eat sheep and sheep eat grass. The wolves may seem evil, but the sheep are the ones damaging the environment. If the sheep die, so will the wolves. If the wolves die, the sheep will eat all the grass.

“If that is the case, then allow me to bring the Titans out from here. Everything will be fine again once they are removed from here right?”

“Your idea is sound. Unfortunately, this world does not allow it.”

“Allow?”

“That’s right. This world is...”

The expression on Cornelia’s face contorted when she was half way through her sentence. Madness and murderous intent oozed out of her. She seemed to have reverted to who she was earlier.

“Hey, what’s the matter with you? Are you freaking out?” Lilith cautiously asked, trying her best to not trigger Cornelia.

“Or did your aunt suddenly call and tell you that your house is on fire?”

Unfortunately, her attempts were useless.

Cornelia’s face took on a hideous expression. The power that didn’t belong to the mortal realm once again showed signs of rearing its ugly head.

“You... despicable and shameless bunch. I’ll definitely kill all of you!”

“Huuuuh? I didn’t even do anything! Don’t just simply accuse me!”

“Didn’t do anything?”

Cornelia’s eyes were red and she was livid.

“Then why is the passage from this world to outside sealed off?” she hissed the question through her gritted teeth.
