Chapter 149 Born as a Human
Fate mercilessly pressed against Lilith's throat, leaving her unable to take any measures of resistance. She had tried desperately to vent her accusations against the injustice of the world, but it was like a pebble sinking into the sea, unable to create even a single splash.
Fortunately, Lilith had long been accustomed to this kind of life. Since she had chosen to bear this burden, she should accept everything about it.
"Don't rely on charity from others, but work hard on your own."
Lilith murmured, then she looked at Yiyin and the others affectionately.
It's really strange. Although Lilith can't see, Yiyin and the others seem to be able to understand her thousands of words from her golden eyes.
"You're obsessed with winning or losing, which is fine. But if you get too hung up on it, you'll lose your original intention."
Shuoyue was silent. It seemed that Lilith had successfully touched his heart.
"You are a person with a gentle heart. Beneath your harsh exterior lies a soft heart. Your compassion for the lives of the world has made you who you are today."
After hearing this, Baihu's face turned even redder.
As she spoke, Lilith looked at Yiyin.
"Previous generation, please continue on your way."
Xing Qi's day finally arrived, and he was very curious about what kind of image he had in Lilith's mind.
"..."
Lilith pondered for a moment, as if trying to figure out how to judge Xing Qiri.
"About you... I really can't see through you."
Lilith smiled and shook her head.
"Actually, ever since I became blind and transformed into a worm, I've noticed a strange change within me. I don't know if it's good or bad, but humans can't accept those who are different from them. I've heard my father say that humans exclude mermen and fishmen, oppress dwarves and giants, and resort to many dirty tricks to ascend to the throne. If I leave like this, they will definitely be taken away for dissection and study."
The truth is that humans do not have the intelligent minds of dwarfs, nor the strong bodies of giants, and the reason they can win in a three-way melee is because of their unscrupulous and despicable skills.
Even people like Qiqi expressed their indescribable disappointment with the earth, so much so that she would rather stay in the Dragon Palace than return to the earth. Although after the destruction of the Dragon Palace, she could only return to the Fantasy Sea Star and curse the circus.
Compared to Qiqi, Lilith's words lacked a trace of disappointment. It seemed she had long since recognized the true nature of the Monster Masters Association and had given up hope.
So, is Ouroboros good?
No, no matter how you wash it off, the sins Ouroboros committed will never fade with time. An organization built on violence and bloodshed... If Lilith knew her father—Albert, the Ten Shadow King known as the "Red Sage"—had joined Ouroboros and become one of its Four Heavenly Kings, how grateful she would be.
Yiyin didn't intend to tell Lilith this. It was better to let her have false hope than to be completely desperate.
Sometimes, people always have to deceive themselves. Otherwise, they would have been crushed by tons of pressure long ago.
Lilith closed her fluffy long skirt again and looked deeply into the gloomy sky in the distance, as if she was recalling the past events from who knows how long ago.
"There are so many strange things happening on Blue Planet. I am just a tiny part of that scale... But since you are so lucky to meet me, I would like to ask you for a favor."
"From now on, if you see any insects anywhere, kill them without mercy."
White Tiger frowned slightly. "That's not good. Although we're not the kindhearted people who wouldn't even dare to slaughter tigers and pigs, we're not that cruel either. Besides, aren't you the mother of all insects? Why are you killing your own people?"
Lilith sighed slightly.
"Because I can't stop them. All the bugs on Blue Star possess a strong collective consciousness, like the queen bee in a hive, and I've become their substitute. Under the pretext of dedicating everything to me, they plunder and commit all manner of evil. Only in this way can they gather enough negative energy to counteract the alchemical forces that suppress me, causing me to regress to my pre-insect state."
"I've never told anyone about this, not even my father or Bruno. I didn't mean to be so heartless, but the insects' evil hand has become rampant. I know very well that life has its own course. If I leave the insect state, I will definitely go berserk. After weighing the pros and cons, I can only make this decision."
"After all, I am still a human being, not a monster."
Yi Yin remembered the time when he had dealt with the violent insects and the poisonous insects. No wonder they behaved so strangely. It turned out that it was all for Lilith.
With such a pure purpose without a trace of impurities, Yiyin couldn't tell whether he should respect them or pity them.
"I will. Although I can't help you now, I will do my best to fulfill your human wishes."
Yi Yin said, "Lilith, please don't give up. Although his methods are not very bright, I believe that in places you can't see, your father must be working hard for you."
"To be honest, I hope he dies without doing anything."
Lilith sighed, "At least this way I can remain innocent in the world... Well, you guys must be tired of hearing me ramble on about the same old things for so long, right? Let me see you out."
"real or fake?"
Hearing this, Shuoyue became unusually excited. Even if he continued to be ridiculed by Teacher Jin Baker, it would still be better than his current situation where his head was tied to his belt.
"Of course it's true. I kind of understand your situation. It's basically impossible to reverse the folded space through ordinary methods, but I can allow you to ignore this restriction and return to the area where you entered this forest."
"What will happen to you?"
Baihu instinctively sensed that something was wrong. If that was the case, then why did Lilith speak so tragically?
"It's just a trivial price."
Lilith smiled and said, "After using my power to teleport you all away, I will enter a cocooned state of dormancy. Honestly, I don't know how long I will sleep, but to combat wear and tear, I have no choice but to do this. Oh, by the way."
Lilith seemed to have thought of something and took out a golden forbidden fruit from her loose puffy skirt.
"I'll give you this. With it, you can defeat all monsters from another world."
Are they monsters sent by the Destruction Source Summoning Body?
Yi Yin didn't understand the deeper meaning of Lilith's words, but fortunately he could use the system to check what kind of precious treasure this golden forbidden fruit was.
【Name: Golden Forbidden Fruit】
[Category: Props]
[Quality: Legend]
[Introduction: Disposable item, disappears immediately upon consumption. Instantly restores one-third of the maximum HP. This effect is unaffected by any healing reduction, prohibition, or increase. A maximum of three items can be held.]
[Note: This forbidden fruit appears during certain battles. Once a certain number of pieces are reached, they will no longer appear. Please enjoy them before then.]
That’s great. Yiyin often dances on the red line of health. With the golden forbidden fruit, it is equivalent to Yiyin heading towards a second life.
"Get ready to go."
After Lilith finished speaking, she began to concentrate her mind and energy, preparing to release the magical spell.
"Lilith..."
Seeing Lilith like this, Yi Yin couldn't help but feel sad. It was like this again. Hadn't he been able to change anything?
If he can't rewrite reality, then what's the point of him, a time traveler, coming to Blue Planet?
And "the one who came before"... This wasn't the first time Yiyin had heard that term. What did it mean? Was he also destined to fight one battle after another?
There are no answers to these questions yet.
In a dazzling golden color, Lilith wrapped herself naked in a huge cocoon like a worm.
But Lilith couldn't turn into a butterfly - she knew that she was a human being - a capital human being.
Tears blurred his eyes, and Yiyin didn't know why he was so sad. It was as if he saw his past, but now he had forgotten it all.
"Iyin? Iyin!"
Accompanied by Baihu's fierce shouts, Yiyin woke up as if from a dream and opened his eyes in sweat.
