Ex rank talent Awakening: 100% Dodge rate Chapter 69 CHAPTER 69: THE PRIMORDIAL BATTLE

"What is the aning of this, Lilith?" Kyle asked, blocking Lilith's surprise attack.

"Tell , Kyle, who gave you your powers? Don't even think of lying that you don't know, or that it was probably from the demon pill—unless you want to die," Lilith said, her face cold, lacking the usual smile she had whenever she looked at Kyle.

"I have no reason to say anything to you. You do not control ," Kyle said nonchalantly, unwilling to give in to Lilith's threat.

"Very well then," Lilith said, throwing a kick at Kyle.

Kyle reacted, blocking the kick with his arm, moving backward due to the impact.

"I guess you think you can't be defeated because you gained a little power. Perhaps I should put you in your place," Lilith said to Kyle, her two horns that had always been hidden appearing, her wings erupting from her back.

"How did you use corruption, Kyle? That's an ability only the Demon God can use. Although yours is a far cry from his, to have it at all—you have to explain to ," Lilith said, attacking once more with her claws.

As infuriating as it was, Kyle found himself barely defending against her attacks, clearly at a disadvantage. He didn't even have the chance to counterattack. Blocking each attack from Lilith took all of his concentration, and the most annoying part to Kyle was that she hadn't used any of her abilities—she was just using raw strength and fighting skills to force him into a disadvantage.

"Lilith, stop! Let's talk," Kyle surrendered, unwilling to get beaten up by her.

"Good, wasting my ti all along," Lilith said, stopping and reverting to her human form without horns or wings.

"I got my power from a demon that called himself the Ancient One," Kyle explained, massaging his beaten-up arm.

He explained everything to her, trusting his gut that she wouldn't kill him after realizing the truth.

"So that's what it was," Lilith said after realizing the truth.

"Well, you were right to keep it a secret. If you had told any demon lord aside from , you would have been dead on the spot," Lilith confessed.

"Why?" Kyle asked, amused.

"Well, because you were chosen by the Ancient— the child of the First Demon and the true Deadly Sins," Lilith explained.

"You see, a huge battle occurred once upon a ti. The First Demon fought against the First God along with his seven children—and won, finally defeating the Celestial. But that was all a setup, a trap set by the current Celestial King and our Demon God in order to usurp the throne. The First Demon was weakened before the battle, allowing the First God to be born and fatally wounded. He retreated in order to recuperate. Being immortal, he couldn't die, but he lost his ability to fight. With the aid of the Demon God, he was captured and imprisoned. The place he was imprisoned—no one knows. His power was siphoned by the current Celestial King.

Of course, the Firstborn God wouldn't go down without a fight, also fatally wounding the First Demon. The sa fate that befell the Firstborn God befell him as well as his children. They were all trapped by the Demon God in a place no one knows about or can reach, never to be set free again."

"So, knowing that I have the power of the Ancient will make a threat that might free them one day," Kyle summarized.

"Exactly," Lilith replied.

"Then why aren't you my enemy? Or killing right now?" Kyle asked, confused.

"Simple—because I wish to set the Ancient, as well as the First Demon, free. So I'm more or less your ally than your enemy," Lilith said.

"If you will excuse , I need to rest. I'm going shopping with my mother-in-law tomorrow," Lilith said, not entertaining any more discussion and leaving Kyle behind with his confusion.

"One problem at a ti, I guess. Taking Nesis down is my top priority," Kyle muttered, following behind Lilith, both flying under the cover of the thick night.

"Prince Jason, it's an honor to have you at our temple," the priest welcod Prince Jason warmly.

"Thank you for having ," Prince Jason replied courteously as well.

"Please, may I see the bishop? I made an appointnt to see him."

"Oh yes, you did. He is expecting you. Right this way, Prince Jason," the priest said, leading the way.

"Prince Jason, you have arrived. Thank you for your selfless donations," Bishop Kelly said, welcoming Jason.

"It's an honor to be of use to the Celestials in any way that I can," Prince Jason replied.

"Co with . I believe you have sothing important to discuss with , seeing as you have visited in person," Bishop Kelly said, walking with Prince Jason toward his own chamber alone, the priest heading back to his assigned post.

"So, what do you want, Jason? It better be worth it."

"It is, Bishop Kelly. An opportunity has presented itself to help both of us rise in status."

"Hmm, what do you an?"

"My father has promised to na his heir," Jason announced.

Bishop Kelly finally had a wide smile on his face.

"And when I beco the heir, it's only a matter of ti before I beco Emperor. And with my help, you can beco the Oracle," Jason laid his cards down.

"What do you want? I believe you will need my help if you ca to visit ."

"Indeed. There is a condition—I have to bring a certain foreigner to his knees and ensure he pledges allegiance to my father."

"That's quite easy. Your father can just overwhelm him with force."

"It's not possible. Doing so will give his dragons a good enough excuse to intervene, and we surely can't win against a Supre," Jason explained.

"Oh, so he is the rumored foreigner that brought two Supres under him as soon as he arrived in our world. So then, what's your plan, and how do you need my help?" the bishop asked.

"The demon invasion will begin soon. I plan to set a trap for him during the invasion, and I will need your help in doing so."

"Hahahahaha! As long as it will help get what I want, I'm in. Tell what you need to do," Bishop Kelly said, already hooked on the deal.
