_____________

Amid the early night, two figures lie down peacefully on a giant bed, after a passionate time together, or that's what it would look like if one were to see the act of lovemaking from start to finish.

Elisha Lioness, the wife of Ryu Lioness, was sleeping peacefully on her imposter husband's-- bear chest, normally she would have taken notice that her husband's many scars were gone, proof of his hard work, that she has witnessed time, and time and again, day in, and day out, each day surpassing his limit in hopes of reaching the level of Sword Saint.

However it was too late for any sort of vague or descriptive realization of any manner, the moment Asmodeus possess Ryu's body in order to infiltrate the academy, after all, Asmodeus being the careful intellect he was, wasted no time in infecting her with Lumen dust, the moment the opportunity arises, which was when he pushes her against the wall and gave her a passionate kiss, so, in reality, he made her see what he wanted her to see, and this went all according to his plan.

Although it was made on short notice, he himself can proudly say that the chances of failure were 1% while the probability of success was an astonishing 99%, even after seeing Elisha's insane stats for what it is, had no way of countering the insane effects of the Lumen, as it gives him the ability alter and manipulate the bodies four out of the five basic sense at a perfect level of mastery.

With the power of the Lumen at his disposal, Asmodeus knew it was checkmate from the very beginning, yes he could not complain, he might not be the strongest there is in this place, seeing that Michael has the bullshit cheat code that is Ultimate Magic that makes you nigh Omnipotent by default with the only limitation being your creative imagination.

However he would not complain, and he would not make excuses, Michael must pay, Michael will pay, and Michale needs to pay no matter the cost.

Albeit one step at a time, he just needs to be patient.

This of course was something he had planned out ever since he took Ryu Lioness's entire life memories for himself, essentially becoming him.

The only downfall to this temporary possession of his though, is the fact that he himself, and maybe even Ophis, cant maintain one vessel and has to switch due to his immense power, might [A] completely dissolve the body to nothing due to his potent Demonic energy, or [B] Mutate it into another Horror of Asmodeus, but the same would not apply to his servants.

And seeing that the Lioness family all have perfect vessels to make his subordinates use to manifest themselves in the uncharted territory that is Saint Michael Academy.

This happy family of four children, one head maid, seven butlers, and one beautiful wife was soon going to be offered up as sacrifices to become suitable vessels for all his elite Djinns, the heroes of Purgatory; the five Bogatyr.

However, before any of them gets an opportunity to resurrect back into this world, Asmodeus decide to take Lilith's offer and provide her with a body first, the time was perfect as well, if Lilith had a body there could be a lot that can be down.

Although he would be lying if he said he wasn't worried, as this choice of his might come with a serious amount of consequences on his part if he is not careful.

Although he did have a way to deal with Lilith if things go south, the chances were slim that he could take her on in pure magic bas fights as he was aware of the fact that Lilith out of all his subordinates possess a Mana pool so big it might as well be another personal cheat for herself.

However to avoid, direct confrontation, and avoid the bloodshed of the what-if scenario, then it was simple what he had to do in order to avoid such a scenario from ever playing out.

And that was to make her sign a contract with him, that will bind the both of them, and restrict each other from acting out, and it had to be one so unfair, that no one would sign it without thinking twice.

Now it was just a matter of summoning her forth, and to do that he just had to call for her, so with that said Asmodeus said to Lilith.

"Lilith I have decided, what do you need me to do?"

Upon hearing these words Lilith replied to him moments after his calling, as she said.

『I know you would see reason my liege』

However, Asmodeus didn't give her a simple response, instead, he made it clear from the very beginning, and explain that his kindness was not without doubt.

"Don't take this the wrong way Lilith, I still don't trust you in regards to the recreation of the Answer, however, I need more power, I need more knowledge, I need reassurance, and finally I need an Ally I can put my trust in, this will be a text of servitude and trust, a test that will determine your place in my kingdom, if you can agree to a few rule and condition of mines then we have a set deal."

However, before Lilith even had the chance to respond to me, something unexpected began to happen, something that was not in my scope of calculation to even happen.

Upon claiming a done deal, a golden light suddenly came before me, this, of course, took me by surprise, so much so, that I had to block my eyes from the animosity of its brightness, as it lit the whole room in golden awe and glimmer, blinding anyone that directly looks at it.

But before I look at it, I heard Lilith say and asked with an unreadable tone.

『Hmmmm... Damn to think you would interfere, am I that much of a burden to be trusted?』

Those words were neutral, and hold no actual negative intentions, but anyone could feel the cold meaning behind them as if Lilith was unpleased with the treatment of distrust others had in her.

Although I would love to call her out on it, I didn't have the time as a familiar presence surrounds my very being, as I soak in the wonderous light that was its grace, as I said with respect to something I considered a foster mother or father, sister or even a brother of sorts who save me from the darkness, and horror that was my life; and allowed me to have what I have now.

"What the hell is this, no-no-no, why am I even asking this presence, this power, this light, I know it all too well, my master, my lord, and savior is that you reaching out to me again."

And just like one might think in my familiar situation on what is happening, I got confirmation when something with an all too familiar presence came before me, it was a golden notification, and instantly I knew who this was, there was no doubt about it.

"Lord Akashina, how may I be of assistance?"

Although this time around I didn't receive a direct answer from my lord, the all-knowing, all-giving, and all-powerful supreme one that was Akashina the figurative God or maybe even Goddess, I like to believe Akashina is a girl in my headcanon.

However I did receive a gold notification tab with a message or more like a document that read as such, the detail was rather surprising, honestly, Akashina is always one step ahead of me, truly even she is aware of how dangerous Lilith Prime can be.

Although I want to give Lilith the benefit of the doubt, I want to believe she won't betray me, I want to believe that she can be trusted and worth my time.

After all, technically speaking, I have nothing against Lilith, but by the end of the day, she is the first one in history to kill a Demon King with manipulation and deceit alone.

And now that Akashina came before me, what she was offering indeed more reassurance than what I can offer myself.

If I have a contract, then this tab is a vow higher than all other contracts I can physically produce, this was an eternal covenant strong enough to rival my vow with Akashina before my Ascension to the Demon King of Lust, as Asmodeus Morningstar.

If so, this was all the reassurance I need to get Lilith under control despite her being quite submissive to me already, even in love due to Eva's curse of true love, but you can never be too sure, now with the goal set in mind, I now began to read, and this was what the golden notification said.

[Vow of Loyalty]

. The Answer is race that has the potential to be a multiversal threat on a high hyperversal level if left to grow without disturbance, in short, they are too dangerous to be left unsupervised, as a precaution to ensure the balance is kept and life continues to prosper, a set of six conditions was made personally by the lord creator Akashina, if the contractor Lilith Morningstar wish to regain her former glory she will need to take the first step, being she must vow that she will abide by the conditions below.

Condition 1: Lilith Must not attempt to destroy any universe through the process of devouring and assimilating unless the balance is being disturbed.

Condition 2: Lilith H.I.V.E Mind will not exceed any more than 10 individuals, all of which have to follow the condition as well.

Condition 3: Lilith Cannot betray Asmodeus in any shape or form.

Condition 4: Lilith must never reveal herself as the Demon King's Named Skill and always used an Alias our fake backstory or title, for the safety of Asmodeus's trump card to not being revealed, the same goes for Asmodeus from here on out.

Condition 5: Become the Envoy of Asmodeus, which will be the equivalent of a shrine maiden.

Condition 6: Locate all eighth Demon Kings before the fall and bring them all under one crown that rules all eight crowns of power.

Upon looking at these conditions I began rubbing my head as I said to myself.

'Akashina flat out Nerf Lilith Race by an extraordinary amount, only giving her a small fraction of control over her original self, I can see why though, the "Answer" is a dangerous H.I.V.E Mind race after all, who knows what she can accomplish if left unsupervised.'

'I don't think Lilith seems too happy about these conditions thought.'

However, to my surprise, Lilith's response was not what I was expecting as she said with great delight.

『This is perfect, I only need a fraction of a tenth of my original power anyways, I agree I vow to abide by these six conditions, you have my word』

"Ha. Well, that was unexpected!"

However, after saying this out loud; it caught Lilith's attention and she said.

『What was unexpected Master?』

"I think you were not going to agree."

『The mere fact that I am now allowed to at least create my race despite it only being ten, is a privilege on its own, although the answer is just a Subspecies since my current race is a System』

Lilith responded to Asmodeus, genuinely happy that she can return to her former glory which was the Answer, not only that, she could now commence with her plans as originally wish as well, which was the Immortalization of her master.

To Be Continued.
