Signing a contract with a Demon requires caution, making sure not to give them any loopholes.
Signing a contract with Lette also requires caution, making sure not to provoke his interest in loopholes.
Because preventing him from exploiting loopholes is inherently impossible.
No wall is high enough to stop soone who’s determined to jump over it and give you a beating.
The only way to avoid getting beaten is to ensure he doesn’t want to hit you in the first place. It’s that simple.
Hence, on this contract, the Demon was unprecedently devout, almost to the point of showing him his heart.
The contract, as dense as a dictionary, essentially said one simple thing.
The Demon is willing to compensate with an amount of soul currency and the Desecrated Holy Crown to Lilith, hoping she would not trouble the Demons again over past affairs.
And within this, the guarantor is Lette.
Or rather, the adjudicator is Lette.
If there’s an issue with what the Demon provides, then Lette would dig out their hearts for a heartfelt chat.
If Lilith is untrustworthy, Lette will have an exploratory discussion with her about life and ideals.
With such a big Buddha in charge, the whole transaction went quite smoothly.
As the Demons were retreating, Lette held back the old demon Fla Player.
"I’ve been looking for ways to repair soul damage recently, if you happen to co across any, rember to let know, the price is negotiable."
"I do have a lead! But acquiring it is a bit troubleso..."
"Then I would trouble you a bit... By the way, I’m also collecting immortal traits recently. Spread the word for , and the price is negotiable!"
The Old Devil looked at Lette in surprise: "You... since when did you start pursuing immortality? That’s not like you!
For tactical players like us, once we crave peace, it ans total tranquility."
"I’m not that bored, but it’s quite fun to play with."
"Dark humor... The intrigue is far more entertaining than pursuing eternal constancy, not suitable for us."
"Just pass on the ssage!"
The Old Devil sighed: "Hobbies that waste ambition! Alright, alright, I’ll ask around for you."
Fla Player left, shaking his head and stepping on a paper boat. After the Demons all left, Lette returned to the deck.
"Alright, they’re all gone."
Lette pointed at Emily angrily, saying: "You, watch what you say in the future! Especially in the Dream Realm! So things shouldn’t be said recklessly.
Carelessly, you could invite bad ons!
By then, you wouldn’t even know how you died!
So words can only be withstood by those with a strong fate, you get it?"
It was the first ti Emily saw Lette so angry, she nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood, I’ll be more careful with my words from now on."
"Alright, alright, stop scolding her. Hurry, hurry, hurry... put this thing on for !"
Lette reached into the treasure chest and took out the Desecrated Holy Crown, hesitantly looking at Lilith.
"Before you put this on, there are so things I need to clarify for you.
This is the Demons’ temporary delaying tactic.
Concept-level fusion and expansion require a lot of ti.
Once you start to refine this Desecrated Holy Crown, you can only pause so activities.
It’s like... a snake swallowing a large prey needs to find a place to digest for a while.
Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to move.
Especially since your body has not fully recovered yet."
After hearing this, Emily imdiately blocked in front of Lilith.
"That’s not okay, we still need to deal with The Liar Demon and save the Witch.
Didn’t know before, but it turns out Lilith is also a conceptual-level powerhouse.
With two conceptual-levels on our side, isn’t victory certain? In such a guaranteed win situation, there’s no need to prematurely reduce our main combat power, right?"
Lette wagged his finger: "A battle between conceptual levels isn’t simply about size comparison.
Let ask you, which is stronger, fire or water?"
"Uh..."
"See, you can’t even determine the outco between simple elental concepts, let alone assess the strength of a vague and broad concept like Lies."
At this mont, Lilith was slightly impatient as well: "Oh, she gets it. Hurry up and put it on ."
"I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t be in such a rush."
Lette didn’t put the Holy Crown on Lilith just yet: "There’s sothing else. Your body has been gradually adjusting since its release four and a half years ago.
If you reclaim your old powers, it will take so ti to digest as well.
You understand that?"
"I know, after all, I’ve been separated from my main body for too long."
"But if you include this, the digestion ti will be even longer."
"I know that too."
"What I’m saying is, your body’s growth to a mature form will also be very slow."
After Lette said this, Lilith fell silent.
This, indeed, was a ponder-worthy issue.
Faced with the choice between power and family status, Lilith seed a bit lost.
"Then... what should I do now?"
Lette, without a word, placed the Holy Crown on her head directly.
"Aah! I haven’t made my decision yet!"
"Let decide for you. Of course, it’s the path that’s better for you."
Lilith caressed the Desecrated Holy Crown on her head, sothing she had long dread of. Now that she had it, it wasn’t as delightful as she thought.
"Ugh... what about my body?"
"Just grow slowly. Besides, I never said anything definitive. Well, I did say a lot, but it was all in jest."
Lette gently pinched Lilith’s cheek: "I promise I won’t say it again. Don’t give up such a good opportunity because of trivial matters."
Lilith pouted: "But I’m still... not content."
Lette laughed and cried: "If you really care that much... once you’re fully unsealed, the feedback from your Origin Power can still give you so room for shaping."
Lilith’s interest was instantly piqued: "Really?"
"Of course, it’s like a not-fully frozen soda. Although most of it needs to wait for the ice to lt to drink, you can still sip so by force.
While it won’t restore you to your once-perfect physical state,
at least... it’s enough to improve the parts you care most about.
But again, the ti for you to reach complete form will be considerably delayed."
Lilith dismissed it with a wave of her hand: "It doesn’t matter, I never planned to fully restore the complete form anyway. If so, wouldn’t I have to return to the Demon Realm?
This way, it’s just right!
What are we waiting for? Let’s continue diving quickly!"
Lette nodded slightly: "You go to the cabin to familiarize yourself with the Power of Profanation, and once we’ve dived to a certain depth, I’ll have Emily call you."
Lilith happily humd a tune as she headed to the cabin. After she left, Emily imdiately abandoned Alice and sidled up to Lette.
"Lette, Lette, what’s the real aning behind Lilith managing Strong Desire?"
"You’re interested in this?"
"Actually, I’m more interested in your concept. But Lilith explained it to once, and I didn’t understand a word...
But since Lilith’s main body is an Enchanting Demon and also manages Strong Desire... is it what I think it is?"
Lette let out a sly laugh: "At first, it was indeed what you think. At that ti, Lilith wasn’t Strong Desire yet.
She advanced to Strong Desire after devouring other concepts like Gluttony and Greed.
But she has a not-so-small flaw."
