Why must the devil be Defeated?
Chapter 466: And what if I joined in as well?

Chapter 466: And what if I joined in as well?

The heavy pressure that permeated the Royal Hall vanished in that moment.

Everyone looked at Lidas, who was sobbing and covering her face, and one could only imagine the complex emotions in their hearts.

But they dared not speak or ask, so they could only quickly lower their heads and continue to pretend to be devout.

Only Luoqi smiled bitterly, then quickly stepped forward to help Lidas to her feet.

"Lady Lidas, why have you come?" Luoqi seemed utterly helpless as she spoke.

Lidas immediately turned her tearful face toward Luoqi, looking as if she were very angry.

"Could it be that I can’t come?" Lidas said, both indignant and aggrieved, "If I didn’t come, by the time you got married, I might still be in the Divine World."

"Then you should just stay in the Divine World," Luoqi couldn’t help but whisper, "That way, you wouldn’t have to embarrass yourself."

"You..." Lidas was immediately infuriated.

However, seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the people kneeling around her, Lidas seemed to realize how she must look, and quickly tightened her face, turning to Shane, who was twitching at the corner of his mouth.

"So you are Shane Beizitu? The Human who stole my Blessing?" Lidas looked very unfriendly.

And she looked even more unfriendly than Shane had just moments before.

But by now, Shane’s displeasure had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sense of powerlessness.

Divine Like Prison?

Cold and unfeeling?

What was that? Had it been eaten?

Could this Goddess... actually be a comedian?

At that moment, Shane sighed.

"I’ve said it before, I am Shane." Shane spoke with a lack of energy, "But what is this about stealing your Blessing?"

Upon hearing this, Lidas seemed even angrier.

"Is it not so?" Lidas spoke loudly and aggressively, "You dared to get engaged to my Luoqi without informing me. If it hadn’t been for a Lower Grade God reporting that a Human who had been enlightened by Nudura and had a significant relationship with the Dragon Demon had possibly appeared in the Human Realm, I would have had no idea about this matter."

It seemed that the good deeds Shane had done had already been investigated by the Divine Race and had reached the ears of this Goddess.

Shane really wanted to say.

"No way?" Shane squinted his eyes and said, "When did I become unaware that a Human who accepts a God’s Blessing must report his life’s decisions to the God who blessed him?"

"This..." Lidas was suddenly at a loss for words.

Because there actually was no such thing.

Although Gods bless the Human Race and protect them, they do not interfere with the lives of Humans.

Even if a Human committed heinous crimes and became a vicious criminal, the Gods would only feel disappointed and regretful, allowing the Blessing on that individual to disappear, but beyond that, they would do nothing else.

Of course, if there were heinous incidents that could affect the very existence of the Human Race, Divine Race, or even the Demon Clan, the Gods would intervene.

But generally speaking, Gods should not interfere with the lives of those in the Lower Realm, let alone meddle with the marriage of those they’ve blessed.

Rather, ordinary Lower Grade Gods might not even bother with Lower Realm individuals, because they only bless Humans out of duty, as though it were a task.

Only those who reach the Upper Level, whose Blessing recipients are few and invariably elite members of the Human Race, would the Gods pay attention and guide.

As for the Three Great Goddesses, their Blessing recipients might not appear even once in a thousand years, but when they do, it means that person possesses incredible potential and will become a pillar of the Human Race.

In such cases, the Three Great Goddesses naturally take great interest in those qualified to receive their Blessing.

However, interest aside, guiding someone to grow and take the right path is understandable, but to interfere with one’s marriage is a bit excessive.

So, Lidas suddenly realized she was somewhat in the wrong.

Just then...

"You’re still as impulsive as ever, Lidas."

Accompanied by this remark, Ai Yi, leading Lilith by the hand, stepped forward.

"Dragon Demon?"

Lidas was taken aback at first, then she froze.

She wasn’t frozen because Ai Yi had appeared here.

She knew Ai Yi was by Shane’s side and wasn’t surprised at all about Ai Yi’s appearance.

But seeing Lilith appear alongside him, Lidas was genuinely surprised.

"You are Lilith?" Lidas exclaimed with her hand over her mouth, "Have you broken free of your Sealing?"

Clearly, Lidas was unaware of the situation with Cosmos.

After all, Anima hadn’t mentioned it, mentioning it only to Nadura; Lidas had been kept in the dark.

Of course, when everyone saw Lidas’s shocked expression upon seeing Lilith, they were somewhat surprised too.

They certainly knew of Lilith, knew she was the mysterious powerhouse who had appeared by Shane’s side when he destroyed the Lucica Family, protecting Shane along with Ai Yi.

But they didn’t know Lilith’s identity or her origins.

Now, seeing Lidas’s surprise, all present had a sudden realization.

Could it be that this little girl’s origin was so exceptional that even the Goddess of Fate was startled?

That’s what everyone thought.

Yule couldn’t help but speak up.

There was no helping it.

The moment Lilith made her appearance, Yule, the Pope of the Temple, had already noticed her.

Setting others aside, as the Pope of the Temple, Yule had a particular sense of Lilith’s presence.

He felt that Lilith might very well be a Goddess, not just an ordinary little girl.

So, Yule asked out loud,

"Do you know this Miss Lilith, Lady Lidas?"

This question yielded a clear reply.

"How could I not?" Lidas answered without hesitation, as if devoid of any guile, saying, "Lilith, the Evil Goddess among Evil Gods, the Daughter of Demon who presides over evil and chaos, stands at the apex of both Evil Gods and Demon Gods. Born alongside the Justice Goddess Artemis, she once turned the surface world into Hell ten thousand years ago, lost control and was sealed by us. Her power is above the Life Goddess and the Nature Goddess, rivaling Artemis, and as strong as the Six Great Demons—the strongest Evil God."

Lidas’s words made everyone in attendance involuntarily draw in a cold breath.

"The strongest Evil God who can compete with Demons?"

Yule, Anxi, Harvis, Rocque, Liya, and others looked at Lilith with changed eyes.

They had never imagined that this mysterious powerhouse had such an immense background.

No wonder...

No wonder even the Dragon Demon treated her with equal regard, always accompanying her, coming and going together.

With the pride of that Demon, how could he treat anyone like that without an equal power?

Does that mean beside Shane, there is not only the support of a Demon but also an Evil God with power rivaling that of a Demon?

This fact caused many hearts to tremble slightly.

Even Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica were likewise affected.

You must understand that the four ladies, like everyone else, were unaware of Lilith’s true identity.

During their days in the Beizut Family, Lilith was either clinging to Shane or tagged along by Ai Yi or Lasha, and the four ladies were extremely busy, hardly having the chance to interact with Lilith.

Who would have thought that Lilith’s background would be so terrifying?

"No wonder..."

Vivian murmured as if she had understood something.

On the other hand, Lilith, in the face of Lidas’s scrutiny and the shock of everyone present, not only kept her little face unchanged, but even walked over to Shane’s side on her own accord. Taking his hand, she silently expressed her support for Shane.

"You..."

Lidas’s surprised gaze shifted back to Shane.

She didn’t know why Lilith had broken free from the Sealing.

Nor did she know why Lilith appeared here and also seemed to have successfully returned, no longer like before when only a Half Body wandered outside.

But she knew that Lilith’s relationship with Shane must be out of the ordinary now.

Ai Yi too curled her lips and moved to Shane’s other side, holding his other hand.

"I really didn’t expect you to show up in a place like this, Lidas," Ai Yi said indifferently, "No matter what your purpose is for coming here, let me make it clear to you now. This Human has caught the fancy of both me and Lilith. Even you should not think of touching him carelessly, okay?"

Ai Yi’s words made all the elites present look at each other, soon feeling a mix of envy and jealousy.

Indeed.

They were truly envious, truly jealous.

Watching Shane being held by Ai Yi and Lilith on both sides, they knew that Shane’s relationship with these two beings who could determine the direction of the world was far better than they had imagined.

With the support of such a Demon and a Demon God, what could Shane not accomplish in the Human Realm?

Only Lidas...

"... Although I don’t know what’s going on, are you sure you want to be enemies with me?"

Lidas’s tone had changed.

No, it wasn’t only her tone, but the aura she exuded had changed as well.

The previous sense of clumsiness and incompetence had disappeared in an instant, replaced by the same chilling ruthlessness as before, Divine Like Prison, as if carrying the might of heaven and earth, terrifyingly powerful.

That feeling not only suffocated everyone present but also caused both Ai Yi and Lilith’s expressions to turn heavy.

Shane too tensed up again.

This Goddess was indeed still the strongest being in the Three Realms, one could not afford to be careless just because of her earlier performance.

And indeed it was so.

"Even if you two join forces and become enemies with me, I dare not say you have no qualifications, but I dare say, you can’t stop me," Lidas declared, both calm and resolute, "Back down. It’s unwise to start a fight with me here."

In this world, only this Goddess had the authority to say such a thing.

If it’s said that the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons are beings that transcend the limits of Life, distinct in essence from the rest of the Gods, Humans, and Demons, then giving these beings a ranking, Lidas certainly occupies the topmost echelon.

The Life Goddess Anima and Nature Goddess Nadura belong to one level.

The Six Great Demons are at a second level above these two Goddesses.

And Lidas stands on yet another level above the Demons.

She alone occupies the position of the strongest, having single-handedly stood up to the Moon Demon and the Enchanting Demon during the war a thousand years ago and even gained the upper hand, which speaks volumes of her might.

But...

"What if I join them as well?"
