Sara was deeply moved by the last few lines: "Behind the door must be very dangerous, please don't go, just stay here and play with me! Otherwise, I'll be alone again..." Trying to ignore these words, Sara walked towards the door deep in the room. But... will it really open? Behind the door must be very dangerous. In her mind, a girl's voice murmured.
The fear that Lilith brought to Sara made Jeana very worried, she seemed very unsettled. Sara muttered to herself, "Nothing will happen! I'm here this time, I won't let the same thing happen again. So let's end this, the three of us: you, me, and Lilith."
On the other side of this forbidden door was a corridor that extended deeper. Although it was filled with an unpleasant atmosphere, there was no evil presence lurking there. With each step Sara took, the invisible pressure increased. Soon, a large double door appeared in front of her. In the underground sanctuary illuminated by flickering amber candles, intense arguments echoed. "What exactly do you want?"
Yuanhui replied with an unconcerned smile, "If the two of us could die together... that would bring peace to the world. That's my idea." Lilith shook her head regretfully, her words filled with disappointment. "You belong to the servant of the Divine King... why don't you believe in the Divine King? The Divine King will forgive you, please take another good look at this world!" "I believe... I have my own faith. That's why I revere the Divine King, but not in the same fanatical way as you." Yuanhui closed his eyes slightly, looking up at the temple ceiling. "Take a good look at the world you mentioned! Is this really the masterpiece of the Divine King? What an tasteless Divine King you believe in!!! You are wrong, it's just your nightmare... it will happen again in five hundred years." "I won't allow you to desecrate the Divine King! You, as a traitor, will never step foot outside the Silent World!!!" "I'm tired of hearing those lines! People who only know how to curse ceaselessly, don't even think about pretending to be the Divine King's messenger - witch!" "Please leave, quickly leave this sacred place! In the name of the Divine King, I expel you from the temple." "Oh dear, you're actually angry. When did you become so great! This is my temple, created by my own hands! And... my good brother, so there's no place for you!!!" "If you continue to obstruct me, even you..." "Do you plan to get rid of me? Just like you did with Jeon-i? You're such a naive woman!" Yuanhui chuckled, emitting a daunting aura all around him. Sara stepped into this underground temple that lacked any aesthetic appeal, feeling like a solid fortress or prison as she approached the two arguing figures. "The main character finally makes an appearance!" Yuanhui turned his head towards Sara and said, "Let's begin the judgement! Hey, Sara, quickly kill this crazy woman! Then, the demon who pretends to be God will disappear! The time is right now, make your move!" "I won't forgive you for desecrating the Divine King!!!" Lilith shouted. The sound of hatred echoed in the dark temple, and the previously pure and holy atmosphere was instantly replaced by an invisible evil spirit. Seeing this scene, the messengers were frightened and began to flee. In an instant, only they remained in the hall. She rushed towards Yuanhui as if she had gone mad, and the two collided heavily. In Lilith's hand was a sharp sickle, entwined with black flames, and she swung it towards Yuanhui. The sickle pierced through Yuanhui's body, and immediately, a mouthful of blood spilled from his mouth. "Lilith!" Sara took a sharp breath, "What... what has happened?" "Nothing... it's nothing serious. I am the Queen of the Night, I won't be manipulated by you!" Looking at Yuanhui lying on the ground, Lilith, still holding the blood-stained sickle, calmly said.She seems indifferent to everything, and even shows no intention of leaving.
"Have you stopped running? Is this the finish line?"
"This is just the beginning, as he said, the time is ripe, Jeana... I'm sorry I can't have your sincere approval... but your heart is still full of hatred and pain in the name of revenge, and successfully conceiving the God King. I thank you, the era of heavily sinful prisons is about to end. Just wait... soon... everyone will forget the pain forever."
"The God King born from hatred cannot connect to Saint Veronica, Lilith... No, my mother, stop!" Sara sighed and looked at Lilith with a sad expression, "You only changed the process, the ending remains the same!!!"
"...Hehehe, my dear daughter..."
The revenge in Sara's heart for the father's killer is rapidly dissipating, and what she sees in Lilith's eyes is not someone she should hate... but a family member.
The woman who used to have a mother-daughter relationship with her, her own mother.
Jeana and Lilith... they used to be a family.
Long ago, the two always smiled at each other.
Lilith would always accompany a young Jeana to play, using wildflowers to make a wreath for her to wear...
They thought this kind of life could continue, but... things suddenly happened and everything changed!
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Sara always cared about Lilith's discomfort, but she never dared to ask more.
Ever since then, she felt her mother was a bit strange, like she could disappear at any moment.
"...Are you trying to save yourself, child?" Lilith looked at Jeana with sympathetic eyes.
In front of her daughter, Lilith was still the strong mother... the woman who endured pain.
"To save everyone, of course, you will also be saved. Is this the perfect ending you expected?" Sara glared again.
She no longer felt any desire for revenge, but she still couldn't forgive Lilith.
"No, I am doing this for the future of everyone, the future of this planet!" Lilith retorted.
Just like that day's extreme reaction... there's no hope left...
"I just want to save everyone! I don't care about myself anymore! Maybe I can't redeem myself, but even so, I don't care... I don't believe I can be forgiven. Although I'm doing it to save everyone, my sins are too heavy. I was being stubborn in trying to bring about the promised day that will eventually come. Hopefully, I can use sacrifice to redeem my sins..." Lilith regretfully knelt to the ground.
"Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah..." Yuanhui groaned, lying on the ground.
Although he felt like he was dying, the pain was evidence of being alive, and he still cared about it.
I just wanted to live a peaceful life. I was tired of the life of constantly opposing hostile forces, that's why I gave all the knowledge I had acquired with great effort... Yes, now is the time!
Though I cannot achieve a peaceful life, it would be boring to live like this for the remaining long years.
So...
Yuanhui smiled and looked at Sara as he slowly spoke, "I'm tired of this eternal life, please... let me disappear! Forget everything and start a new life like a normal person."
"No!" Lilith roared.
She wanted to stop him, but she was repelled by Yuanhui.
"You said you had heavy sins earlier?" Yuanhui sneered, "Since you know you have heavy sins, go to hell quickly."
Then, using all his strength, he shouted, "Sara, combine the two badges!"
"Badge?"
Sara looked at Yuanhui and took out the badge from her pocket.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, that thing! The boring nightmare is about to end... Use it quickly, and we will all be liberated."
"The Hope Badge?!"Lilith took a deep breath and her expression twisted slightly.
Then, she quickly regained her composure and smiled, saying, "That thing in your hand is just a worthless piece of junk. You can't do anything with it. You know almost nothing about the Hope Badge, but you think you can stop the God King just by wearing it? Let me tell you something – the God King is the creator of hope!"
With that, Lilith waved her scythe and thrust it fiercely into Yuanhui's chest.
Everything happened too fast for Sara to stop it.
Yuanhui let out a long gasp and stared up at the ceiling of the temple with widened eyes, quickly ceasing to breathe.
"Poor Yuanhui... but the God King will save you!"
Dismissing Yuanhui's body with a glance of disdain, Lilith turned back towards Sara.
"Jeana, you have nowhere to run now!" Lilith laughed. "Don't expect that guy to help you, he's not even close to being my match!"
"You, uh..."
Suddenly, Sara felt an unprecedented excruciating pain as the parasite in her belly began to move violently.
Sara felt her body being invaded, as if every cell inside her was heating up, as if trying to take possession of her body.
"You bastard, get out of my body!!"
Gradually, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Accept all of this... that way, you won't feel any pain."
Isn't it unbearable? Like drinking poison, isn't it? Can only endure pain in despair, right?
"So I said..." she seemed to hear her father's voice, "I won't give up, it's all coming to an end!"
In the hazy temple, her father seemed to be standing in front... standing behind Lilith, looking this way.
Scenes of being scolded by her father kept swirling in her mind; her once gentle father now looked at Sara with indifference.
"It's all over, I will be the last victor and you will all taste the bitter fruit of this hardship - Saint Veronica!!!"
