BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139 The Desire To Win
"Husband, are you still awake?"
"Yes... Yes."
"..."
"Why, you can\'t sleep Lilith?"
"I could if I wanted but I want to stay beside my husband even in the land of the waking."
"Very well then."
"You want to talk, maybe that will make you sleepy."
"Sure why not, tell me Lilith what do you want to talk about?"
"Hmmm... How about what you like."
"What I like ha, well I like cooking."
"I know, what is your favorite food?"
"Good question, to be honest, I prefer Japanese-style ramen, but I also enjoy French dishes like Beef bourguignon or croissant."
Asmodeus commented as he buries his head into Lilith\'s soft breast, seeking comfort he never had till recently.
However, as the two converse, Asmodeus brought up a question.
"Lilith, are Ultimate Witches and Warlocks, truly unbeatable?"
"... You know this is the six-time tonight your asking this question, do you lack confidence in your power, I know you can beat Michael, just believe in my calculation."
"Well, to be honest, Michael seems powerful as hell, although what I\'m worried about is Mr. Pendragon, what will happen if he rewinds time?"
"Hmmm... Then there is a possibility you will forget everything, I\'m not sure how you would fair against somebody that can rewind time with a mere thought, although the answer would be interesting to find out if that happens?"
"I see, talk to me Lilith, you might not be the system anymore, but you are the Arch-type of knowledge, can\'t you access the Akashic for an answer."
"The Akashic only has information of the past, as it constantly acquiring information from the present time as well that is constantly becoming that of the past."
"So that\'s how it works, bummer, so in conclusion, we won\'t know until we try ha?"
"Precisely so husband."
"Ether Pendragon, wielder of the blade of miracles, a descendant of Arthur Pendragon, the man, the myth, the legend, his bloodline alone is a truly troublesome existence, I haven\'t met him personally, but I have a hunch he is more of a headache than Michael."
"Hahaha... I feel both excited and annoyed at the same time, will I finally be able to fight a worthy opponent, as a Pendragon his swordsmanship should be top tier."
Asmodeus said loud as he laugh to himself. Lilith just rubs her fingers on his hair to ease him, a small gesture of comfort.
"Aw well, as soon as the barrier is down I will just, transform into my Vampire deity: The Demon Above The Blood Form, and hope for the best, I never went all out before, but I will make an exception this time around."
"Although I will not make the same mistake I did when I fought Ekhidnanta, this time with the use of everything I have, I will release my all from the very beginning, Eden might turn into a living nightmare of insanity and corruption due to flooding the place with my Demon King Aura and presence, but I hate Gaia and his simping, so; fuck them, kids."
Announce Asmodeus in a serious tone, Lilith just calmly listens, but that was enough, the mere fact that someone is listing to him was enough to make him feel at ease, and even boost his veiled anxiousness a bit.
Gentle words can even appease a Demon if the atmosphere and mood are right, and that was exactly what Lilith was doing to score points with Asmodeus.
"Well, you have my support, alongside everyone else, just say the word, and we shall unleash discord upon this place; Michael and Ether are the only undetermined factor we have to worry about, but by destroying Eden you are waging war with not one nigh-omnipotent magic user but five."
"Five, well something will work out."
"Look at the bright side, I am confident Lilu could Mid-diff all the sefiroth if they attack him together, Your Djins are a force of nature on their own you know."
"Let\'s hope they are."
Asmodeus replied, and continue as such.
"I don\'t want to lose, not to Michael, not to the braves, not to Ether, no one, if I have to fight, I want to fight on my own terms, I want to fight with such power that I could even make the Gods questions their existence, that\'s why as my first real fight, I want to make an example out of the heretics that goes against the order, but to do that I need more power, raw power, absolute law-breaking reality-defying power, I don\'t care how I get it, or what\'s the price of using such power, I just want it."
"And you won\'t."
Lilith reassured him.
However, as Asmodeus and Lilith began to talk more and more about his worries and concerns, these hidden emotions of his were being observed by someone else.
[ ]
Unbeckon to Asmodeus, with Lilith, separated from the system, leaving only the original computer-like personality behind to administrate and govern over all my skills.
She lost her dominance over the effectiveness of my skills, and with her gone, my Demon King Skill, a unique power that each Demon King has, was starting to behave the way it should have from the very beginning.
Because in a white world that stretches for a vast infinity, and has no distinguishing features, a giant pink orb the size of Jupiter was going through a series of changes, it has millions of books floating around its planetary body similar to Saturn\'s ring, giving it a majestic and Arcane look.
But despite that, the changes weren\'t visible on the outside, no it was on the inside, going past it immense energy of pink, at the very core of it.
A giant red book imprisoned within a blue glass tesseract, giving it the illusion of it cloning itself at an infinite level, was turning its pages at a speed far faster than light.
Processing information.
It has been doing this for a long time, no from the very moment it was reborn into Anastasia\'s a while ago, the worry of Asmodeus was something it could not accept, it had no emotions, it had no feelings beyond love or hate, however, it exists for a sole purpose.
To fulfill its master\'s desires by any means necessary, and as such its purpose was fueled by its master\'s last words.
" \' , , , , , , , , \' , , , , - - , \' , \' , ."
Even recalling the severity of his emotions, Anastasia doesn\'t know anything beyond making sure it happened, The Demon King of Lust of each generation has a skill unique to them, it\'s their absolute trump card in battle, it\'s the power that represents them and their entirety, as such as the named skill Lilith, she who processes, Anastasia would use everything in the realm of possibilities to make this wish comes true, no matter what.
Even now, ever since its rebirth, the original personality of Lilith was always referred to as the Machine, and a weapon of the Answer.
Now itself was tasked with a different purpose once more.
Albeit for a different master, if Lilith was a cursed existence meant to love the Demon King, then Anastasia was just a weapon meant to empower the Demon King.
That was the true nature of the name skill Lilith.
As such to defeat a miracle it would need to surpass a miracle.
To defeat a God it would need the means necessary to kill a God.
To not lose to no one it would need the means to counter all forms of attack.
And yet with the resources it has and the lack of SP, it couldn\'t create some as powerful as that to fulfill the role of all trees.
So Anastasia was left with one answer.
『To utilize what Asmodeus have, and recreate something new to grant his wish』
How far is she willing to go to fulfill its purpose, well the answer was simple, she was going to go back to the very beginning, and she was going to travel as far back in time as she could.

A long time passed in this system space, that is cuts off from all existing reality as a whole, if the omniverse contains all possible universes, then this mysterious place would be the sole exception, a place beyond even the concept of existence, and an entire omniverse containing only the system itself, as such it follows its own rules and law of balance.
A personal existing place that doesn\'t exist, nowhere but here; and here alone, because it is the here itself, the here can be found nowhere, because nowhere is here.
In layman\'s terms a brand new plane of existence within the concept of Asmodeus itself, a unique concept that defines itself as simply is.
As such the only things that are related to the Concept of Asmodeus can even dream of reaching this place, that being only Asmodeus, and things that are a part of him as a unique existence.
It is also the true form of the Demon King system.
Here it does everything in its power to make its master happy and assure his survival.
However with its newfound power, of granting uncertain wishes, a power that can rewrite reality, as it surpasses the law of creation, and even destruction, at the cost of 1. You don\'t know what you will get and 2. Whatever you get will disappear after every re-roll, as only one thing exists at a time, it\'s a power that took inspiration from the strongest Demon King second only to Eva, albeit an incomplete and fake version of it, this incomplete skill had enough potential to grant her master wishes.
Although not even Anastasia truly knows in what form her master wish will come in, however, at this rate, it won\'t be long before one of the most nonsensical skills shows just how devastating it can truly be.
