Chapter 58 Part 1) New Friends Part 1

Above the Holy Kingdom of Serenity, three figures appeared. They looked down at the barriers covering the kingdom in surprise. “This barrier…. The Demoness Lilith is here?”

“Does that mean he has met with her?” Khione furrowed her brow.

“You never did like that man.” Nix chuckled. “But you have to admit he has never treated her poorly.”

“Even so, I can’t stand that man. A demon who dares to covet a goddess.” Khione snorted. “He may be a higher being than the rest of us, but that does not mean he can covet what does not belong to him. Aria has always been kind-hearted and gullible. That man just took advantage of it.”

“But, a demon is what we might need. Especially one from the higher realms. The man we call the god of creation is trying to break into the higher realms but is still stuck here in this lower realm. While Silas might not be able to actually do much of anything here himself, his demon legion will be very helpful. Lilith, after all, is also very powerful. This barrier alone is enough to protect this kingdom from even Zeus’s attacks.” Nix could tell the barrier was very strong. It would take multiple gods attacking it at the same time to break it.

“Tch…” Khione clicked her tongue. Although she did not wish to admit it, Nix was right. Feeling angered, she turned and kicked Erebus.

“Why’d you kick me!?” Erebus rubbed his leg, pained expression. Her kicks hurt!

“You look like you needed a kick.” Khione felt a little better now that she let some anger out. Nix giggled at her side. Although he was her husband she did not care what happened to him.

Within the city, Desaray looked up at the sky with a frown on her face. “Lilith.”

“I sensed them. Although one of them is Erebus, they do not seem to have come with any bad intentions.” Lilith appeared and explained.

“Then should I meet with them?” Desaray was unsure. She was willing to put her life on the line to protect her city, but at the same time, she worried about dying as well. She had Lilly to look after and the rest of her family. Having a god and two goddesses appear was not very welcoming news.

“I think you should. If they are not here to fight, then we can only hope they might be willing to side with us. If anything, I will hold them back while you escape. No matter what happens, you will not die.” Lilith replied as she reached out and patted Desaray’s head.

 “I don’t want you to die either.” Desaray frowned. She took a deep breath and was about to agree when Juna suddenly appeared at her side along with Oinktera.

“Desa, we will go with you.” Juna’s eyes were firm. They were not going to let their goddess, her sister go out with just Lilith.

“Not going to call me Your Holiness?” Desaray asked in a teasing tone.

“Now is not the time for formalities,” Juna replied, pursing her lips. “You are not the only one who wishes to protect someone.”

“She right.” Ricky suddenly appeared next to Oinktera. “I can’t let my daughter go out alone. I may not be as high of a level as you, but after evolving for a second time and reaching level 300, I can at least make a path for you.”

“Dad…” Desaray bit her lip. She wanted to reject him and send him back, but she knew there was no way to change his decision.

 “There are enough people here to protect the kingdom. Our group will go welcome our visitors.” Lilith smiled seeing Desaray surrounded by people willing to protect her. If her Master knew that Desaray was so blessed, he would be very happy.

“Then let’s go out and see what they want.” Desaray made her decision. She just hoped nothing would happen.

Lilith waved her hand and wrapped everyone in her mana before disappearing, taking the others along with her. When she reappeared, she and the others were all standing above the city behind the three people who were still talking to one another.

“Hmm?” Khione noticed the new presence and turned her head. When her eyes locked with the blue-skinned girl standing in the air, her body blurred. “Sister!”

Before Desaray, or anyone for that matter could react, Desaray was hugged by Khione. Desaray stood there in confusion, unsure what was going on. “Umm… I am not your sister?”

“No, I would never mistake you for someone else,” Khione replied with a bright smile as she let Desaray go but reached up and held Desaray’s cheeks in the palms of her hands. “You may look different, but your soul is the same. There is no way I wouldn’t be able to know you. You may not remember, but I will never forget.”

“Khione, you are scaring the girl.” Nix giggled as she walked forward, dragging Erebus with her. “She may be the same soul, but she is now a different person. Miss, this bastard here has an apology to make.”

Erebus, who was suddenly tossed forward and kicked in the butt, landed on his hands and knees in the air. But when he looked up, all he saw was a bare foot being shoved in his face.

“So you are that bastard who attacked Her Holiness!?” Juna’s cold voice came from above.
