"This tie I won't fail," Dante said aloud as he floated, his body... began to peel.
His skin was slowly starting to decompose, his whole body burned and ached, but he was holding onto it because now, he was seeing a woman in front of him.
"Lilith," he pronounced. Lilith just looked at him with a mischievous smile as she waited for him to say what she wanted to hear.
"I accept," he spoke in a sigh. Lilith, with her mischievous smile, brought forth from a red portal with unknown runes a golden scroll.
"Are you absolutely sure about this? It's a contract for eternity, wouldn't it be better to double-check?" She said smiling, as if she were winning a bet at a casino.
"Stop bothering me, just fulfill the agreement or I'll cancel it," Dante spoke firmly while Lilith just smiled. For a second he saw something resembling Vex, but his eyes darkened knowing that this was neither right nor honest of him.
"Yes, yes. Stop being so serious, I won't do anything to you," she said as she licked her lips... "Not yet..." she murmured and Dante stared at her even more seriously.
"God-Demon Lilith, please, shut your damn mouth or you'll end up alone in your stupid fight with your ex-husband who hurt you. You need me more than I need you. Stop acting this way," the serious tone reached Lilith's ears, who quickly countered with just one question.
"Will you be able to save everyone if you don't awaken quickly?" She said, and Dante fell silent. "I-"
-Quiet, you're wrong. Stop being arrogant at the wrong times, start being more diligent with your reality. You're inferior, barely knowing what divine is, so shut up and take responsibility if you want to live peacefully with your lovely wives." She said again. She seemed like a different person, Dante didn't accept her words, her bitterness... It didn't allow him to agree with Lilith.
"Ignore me all you want, it doesn't change the fact that I'm right, Scarlet," she said again and scratched the contract with her bloodied finger.
"He's all yours." She threw the contract to Dante, who held it and read it again. "Tsk, disgusting," he said and signed it with his bloodied fingertip.
Valentina's Cube Prison is slowly breaking apart, there are already several cracks throughout the cube. Honestly, if you want a guess, she's training.
If I know that woman, she's at this moment breaking all her limits after overcoming grief, or maybe she's using it as pure driving force to get stronger.
She will seek revenge, believe me when I say that your Empire will come to an end."
The transmission stopped and Aldria looked at Adam, with her disappointed eyes. "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid? Of course not, I will die," Adam said as Aldria stared at him seriously. "Will die? You've given up on your life, you coward," she reproached him as she stared at him with nervous and upset eyes.
"I'd rather give up my life and save my wife and daughter than live to face a woman who holds the title of God Slayer," Adam said smiling. Although he was right, Aldria couldn't agree with that.
"You're not the man I fell in love with," she said and left the room, stomping her foot in anger, and slammed the door so hard that the hinges exploded.
*Boom*
Adam watched the scene in silence, waiting for the worst. "Cough, cough," he put his hands to his mouth as he coughed.
He looked at them and saw only one thing: blood.
"I only have a few more days, the blessing has disappeared. Maybe it's my punishment for creating such a sinful and sickly offspring. I'm sorry, God," he said as he went to bed to lie down.
His body was already wasting away, with excruciating pain, but that didn't stop him from sleeping. His days could come to an end, as long as the two women stayed alive and well.
