"I'm not quite sure what happened in Hell, but I'm certain you didn't come to the Human World without losing something between the worlds," Dante said as he pushed the woman away from him. He still didn't trust her much, after all...
"Ah~ Why don't you just hug me, kiss me, and be my husband? You're so boring..." Lilith murmured as she felt a dominating gaze from above. Dante now stood at two meters tall. "Okay! Okay!" She raised her hands in surrender, feeling danger emanating from him. "Ah~ Lucifer...
persuaded all the Demon Kings... even Baal and Beelzebub. I don't know his goal or how he did it, but... seeing that girl, I have some idea of what he's trying to do." Lilith said as she sat on the ground with her legs crossed in a lotus position, hands supporting her body from behind.
"He wants to use divine power to increase his status again; he wants to become an Angel again." Lilith said nonchalantly, "Not that it's going to work. When he fell to a Fallen Angel and came to me, I turned him into a Hybrid of Demon and Fallen Angel, it's impossible." Lilith said, with disdain as if she was utterly certain... "Fool." Dante said, and she blinked twice, looking at him.
"What do you mean I'm a fool? What did I do?" Lilith argued, a bit angry, but Dante quickly responded. "You don't understand, it's not something simple." Dante said, raising his finger, and an Apple appeared in his hand as an illusion. Lilith looked at him seriously... "How do you know about this?" She asked without hesitation; this knowledge was not something Dante should have... Well...
He had recovered many things with Asmodeus's illusion.
"The Apple of Eden." Dante said, showing two apples as an illusion. Yes, Asmodeus's strength had already been completely absorbed. "Lucifer, the Sin of Pride." Dante said and then, somewhat saddened, murmured, "Sara, the Virtue of Humility." Two apples, one rotten and the other golden, slowly turned into small seeds that merged and formed a tree.
The illusion began to move as a tree emerged, grew, and bore fruit...
"The folly of a mortal who wants to become God." Dante said calmly as he exploded the illusion. "He's trying to create the Fruit of Good and Evil." Dante said, and Lilith was left breathless. She knew exactly what that was, but quickly, "That's impossible!" She screamed, not believing what Dante claimed. It was too absurd even for her.
"Yes, you're right." Dante said, and Lilith's face showed no reaction. "It is impossible. It's a pity he doesn't know that yet." Dante said as if... "You... Who are you?" Lilith said, standing up. This man was not the Dante she knew, not the man who pushed her away and somehow detested her.
He didn't have this knowledge.
"I just remembered a few things, nothing important." Dante said. He was already thinking about many things, many problems he would have to solve now, including one quite interesting... But he needs to evolve... He needs more power...
"Lucifer must be thinking of using Qliphoth to generate a fruit that can produce positive and negative energy to propel himself and evolve. But he doesn't know how the world works." Dante said while looking at the ring on Lilith's fingers, "You made a good move.
"Dante?" Thousands of kilometers away, on the other side of the ocean, all the women looked uniquely at one place... "Is he... getting stronger?" Aaralyn questioned. "It's not just that..." Nagasawa said, seeing the remains of the tree they destroyed some time ago transform into energy and begin to fly in the wind, turning into small red particles.
"What... the hell is happening?" Aldria murmured, seeing that her entire city had been completely cleared of the roots...
It wasn't just in the human world...
"Dante?" the red-haired woman asked, seeing the red particles entering holes in the red skies of Nightsphere. "Why... does this seem so familiar?" Valentina questioned, seeing small whirlwinds in the skies that brought nothing but a sensation so familiar, as if... she had seen this before.
"That boy," the Vampire King said, watching the flames extinguish and transform into energy particles, being sucked into the sky. "Boy?" Elizabeth asked, she and Lisa still standing beside Vlad...
"He's talking about Dante Scarlet," a Vampire Countess, who Nosferatu didn't like the idea of having as an ally, said. "Rose Seusther," Elizabeth murmured...
"Hmm? What's happening?" Raven questioned, seeing the spirals in the sky sucking up the energy particles. "That lunatic..." Alice murmured. "Dante," Musashi said, sensing Dante's aura directly from the heavens. "To think that boy reached this level in ten years," he thought, looking on... "You should see this, Sasaki," he murmured.
While they all felt the world slowly changing and being cleansed, Dante was hovering in the air, absorbing all this insane demonic energy.
"We can't hold out," Alter-Dante said, but Dante just responded brusquely, "Shut up. If I said I can do it, it's because I can." He replied, and despite being himself, even Alter-Dante felt intimidated by the force with which those words were uttered.
"Dante! Stop!" A green-haired woman appeared, the World Tree of Elysium.
"I'm almost done, Fey," Dante said, reaching the final stage. "If you continue, you'll absorb my~" "I've already taken care of that. Qliphoth has been disconnected from the world," Dante said with a cold look.
"H-How did you~" Fey stammered; she didn't even know that was possible! "The ruler's authority can only truly be used by the Infernal Progenitor... Though I made a small sacrifice to block it." Dante said with a bitter smile.
"Let's just say I'll have to go through all the cycles of Hell to descend there again, but it will be worth it." Dante said, smiling. "Now, it's time to punish your naughty sister who dared to side with Lucifer." Dante said, making Fey's entire body tremble... not from fear... but from something else she didn't even know she could feel...
After all... that man looked very handsome in that form.
