I'm The Devil - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Lilith Meets Adamaltheia

“so this is the place where you held me back from entering”

Nyx and the others paid little heed to Lilith’s discontent as she surveyed the Greco Realm with a critical eye.

“It seems like shit to me,” Lilith remarked, her voice dripping with disdain.

Nyx resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Lilith’s blunt assessment. She understood that Lilith’s bitterness stemmed from being initially denied entry to the realm, only to gain access later under tense circumstances.

Despite Lilith’s caustic comments, Nyx remained focused on the task at hand. With Lilith now present in the divine plane, Nyx knew they would need to proceed cautiously to prevent any further complications.

Lilith’s frustration grew as she searched the Greco Realm fruitlessly for any sign of Lucifer’s presence.

“So where the hell is Lucifer? I don’t see him or sense him here,” she demanded of Athena, who remained silent and aloof.

Athena shrugged in response. “I have no idea. I’ve only met him once, and then he vanished. Nobody knew where he went or what he’s up to,” she explained impassively.

Lilith furrowed her brow at Athena’s response, deep in thought. “Could there be another realm apart from this?” she mused aloud, turning to Zeus for answers.

Zeus, irritated by Lilith’s persistent questioning, scowled at her. “I have no time for your idle speculation. Lucifer’s whereabouts are of no concern to us,” he retorted dismissively.

Unfazed by Zeus’s rebuke, Lilith continued to ponder the mystery of Lucifer’s absence. If he wasn’t in the Greco Realm, then where could he be?

“Why don’t you ask the Phoenix, she always has a connection to him” Nyx told Lilith about the Phoenix that was with her.

“As if I haven’t tried that already?”

Lilith said remembering the first time she came upon Feng Huang who seem as if she was waiting for her arrival.

That’s when she asked about Lucifer and the next thing she knew, she was brought to the Greco Realm where the gods denied her entry.

“Then we can’t help you; you are on your own here. As for your previous question, there are indeed other realms. But I wouldn’t bother looking for him there, as he is not there either. However, you can explore the Divine Celestial Myriad Plane. I’m sure you might find him there, since he is nowhere to be found here,” said Nyx. After delivering a warning to Zeus not to aggravate matters with Lilith, Nyx disappeared back to her domain.

“So where is this Divine Celestial Myriad Plane?” She asked Athena who was the only one she deemed worthy of speaking to her after Nyx left.

“It is an entire Plane, just like ours, it also has countless realm but the difference between us is that they are born weak and grow stronger by doing something they call, cultivation thus referring to themselves as Cultivators, most of them are also in the God Plane, you can asked them how that traverse between Planes” said Athena who still wore her stoic expression.

Lilith shook her head at Athena’s stoicism. “You are no fun at all. I wonder what Lucifer sees in you,” she remarked dryly. She gestured to Fang Hua, indicating her desire to find a place to rest. Tomorrow, she would embark on her quest to locate the other wives of Lucifer in this realm.

As soon as she departed, Zeus finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been struggling to contain his anger in the presence of Lilith, whose very presence infuriated him greatly.

Elsewhere

Adamaltheia was busying tending to her private garden which she just recently grown so that she can distract her from the affairs of the world due to the craziness recently when she sensed a familiar aura approaching the Island of Crete and an unknown aura.

She wondered who could the Fiery Phoenix be bringing to her Island now.

After a few minutes, Feng Huang appeared before her and transformed back into her human form after dropping Lilith. She approached Adamaltheia, who was just looking at her.

“This is Lilith Morningstar, my new master and wife of my previous master” said Feng Huang as she introduced Lilith to the curious Adamaltheia.

“The first wife to be precise, make sure to always include that when next time, I don’t want others to think I’m the last of them lots” Lilith chipped in on the conversation causing Adamaltheia to look in her direction.

Adamaltheia closely observed Lilith, attempting to discern her intentions. However, Lilith remained as enigmatic as Lucifer himself. Despite her apparent weakness, Adamaltheia sensed an underlying power within Lilith. She realized that underestimating Lilith would be a grave mistake.

“Okay I get that but why are you here?” Adamaltheia asked with a frown as she did not get why Feng Huang would bring her here unannounced.

“Simple, I want to rest for the day and this is just the best place and also I heard during the way how, many of this so called false gods are trying to get their hands on your island for themselves but no matter how hard they tried, they always seem to fail, so that makes me wonder what’s so special about this place” said Lilith as she looked at the direction where the tree was planted while smirking at Adamaltheia.

Adamaltheia regarded Lilith with a mixture of curiosity and caution. “This island holds ancient powers, ones that even the mightiest of gods cannot easily wield,” she explained. “It is protected by forces beyond mortal comprehension, and those who seek to claim it for themselves are met with fierce resistance.” She paused, studying Lilith’s reaction. “But enough about that. If you seek rest, I can arrange accommodations for you. Follow me.” With that, she gestured for Lilith to follow her towards a secluded area of the island where she could find respite.

“By ancient power, you meant Lucifer, correct?” Lilith ask with a smile on her face, “if you want to lie to me, at least make it believable”

With that, Lilith followed Feng Huang who led her to the chamber where she could rest.
