Chapter 74: Subjective

Lilith POV

"Please answer my question, how did you 2 find each other? And how did you prove yourself worthy?"

"The first I can answer, but not now." he answered "As for the latter, you're going to need Leilah to answer it for you. Well I confirmed Maple's words and my suspicion, I'm going now."

"Stay." I unconsciously reached out and grabbed his wrist "I got some questions as a goddess that I need filled."

"If I stay too long, Leilah and Ruka might teleport to me to see if I'm in danger, you clearly don't want to see them now that they recognize who you are."

"How did you make contact with Maple? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have to keep having those complicated feelings."

"You haven't fallen for me, have you?" he asked

"What?! No!"

"Because Leilah have, and Maple is already entrapped by my charms, and Ruka has already warmed up to me, so if it's something that you sisters have in common, the possibility isn't too far off, you did just assume I came here for your body."

"I'm not as easy as my 3 innocent sisters, if you want to seduce them, go ahead, but answer my question, how did you make contact with a goddess that she's comfortable enough to meet you in person and how did you and Leilah meet?"

"Okay, I'll answer you, but I'll need some water first, I didn't expect to stay this long."

Perseus POV

These sisters are so similar, I swear. The moment I implanted the thought or possibility that they might have fallen for me, their imaginations already went while due to them being visual people. Leilah and Ruka already know that I won't be in any danger yet, but I did tell them to come to my aid if I'm gone for more than 20 hours.

Here's an advice for you readers, when you make a girl fall for you, treat them like a friend, the thought of the possibility will be implanted sooner or later, and it will grower stronger by the day, it works for protagonists every time. And if you want to attract a guy, just give them a compliment, they'll remember it for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, at my request, she ordered some late night room service and no one even questioned her decision and just indulge in it without worry, later I was sat on the opposite end of a table and in front of me were some cakes with some hot tea. This goddess isn't hostile the very least.

But she's definitely resentful.

'My siblings would never apologize to her as it would hurt their pride.'

That was what Maple told me, and this war isn't helping their dividing relationship, when the war starts, the gods are going to be at war as well. Lilith, to protect the demons while 2 of the gods from the other side will side with the humans. Maple and the spring god will remain neutral and let whatever happens happen.

It didn't help that most humans inherited the thoughts of the gods who discriminated against Lilith as well, as a countermeasure, the gods taught the humans that the demons are beings to be eradicated. Clashing egos...it is what's causing the loss of lives.

This world is complicated for me to solve every single problem. Lilith wants an apology for the way she was treated and an apology for her people who suffered discrimination. As for the 3 other gods, including the 1 neutral one who was quite vocal about it, want an apology for the deaths of their believers.

If my grandfather was up for it, plus the gods as well, I'll arrange a group therapy for em.

Lilith POV

The boy is strange, even if inside, he's technically much older, he's still a bizarre existence that I cannot comprehend. Leilah chose him...they did not nickname her the last rose for nothing, and from my sight of her, she's already grown stronger, much stronger than the white rose.

To qualify, that person have to undergo death once, every soul reincarnates, but in this case, a soul that remembered, it will never happen naturally unless Leilah cause it and interfere with the rule of death. He was chosen for that. A world where the heroes come from...

They are very ordinary in their world based on reports, but once they undergo the summoning ritual, they will far surpass any existence if they are grouped together, even the demon lord whom I've blessed with the ability to pass on their powers. With a demon lord, the humans would have far ruled the world a long time ago.

"Are you not scared of me? From your previous world, a demon is supposed thought of as monsters from myths, right?"

"I was never really treated well by humans in that world." he answered "If anything, people celebrated my death, Leilah told me so."

"Were you some sort of famous serial killer."

"I did kill people, but mostly out of self defense or my want of escaping my prison."

"Why were you in a prison?"

"Like you, I was born differently. We both look human enough, but we have one small feature that the others don't like, and in return, we were treated different, tossed aside with no one to stand up for us due to the fear of their involvement might get them in trouble too, was it not like that for you?" he asked

Spot on. I don't necessarily hold a grudge against Maple, but she should have done more to help instead of ignoring my plea for help.

"What do you think is the most powerful thing is this world?" he asked as he ate a cake

"For your type of people, knowledge and information." I answered, that's the answer that smart people usually reply with and I overheard that he has said similar things before "Is that right?"

"No, it's unrestrained violence."

"It's subjective, is it not?"

Just what kind of life did this guy lead? Maybe he's from the same country as one of the heroes where people are super prideful and would slice their stomachs for an honorable death, the hero was a very interesting specimen and despite his pride, respectful.

She, who disguised as a demon general, got a sword knocked out of her hand and he waited for her to pick it up before he continued. is this person the same? No...unrestrained violence wouldn't be the answer to the question if that were the case.
