“Are you telling me to steal your brother’s power?”

Lilia was taken aback by Minerva’s unexpected proposal.
I never imagined that such a sound would come out of Minerva’s mouth.

“Sister? Uh, what are you talking about? Take away my strength Are you crazy?”

I was also surprised by the art.
To think that she was inviting an insignificant creature to take the power of the goddess.
She uses that power to deal with her sisters.
Atro’s voice rose at the nonsense.

“Don’t be crazy! I have no intention of giving. I would never give it to you!”

Even after shouting like that, Minerva’s expression did not change.
Just, she looked at Lilia and calmly explained.

“Lilia, as you know from fighting, it is difficult to deal with the goddesses with your power right now.”

Humans, who are weak, are no match for demons.
At least the angel can fight the demons alone, but they are pushed back in strength.
Among the three races, the most powerful race can be said to be the demons.

Even such demons can’t reach the goddess at her feet.
If we had been able to resist, the soldiers stationed in Bunderry would not have been massacred.

“Unlike anyone who has inherited the Leviathan lineage, Lillia, who was born as a human, will never be able to close the gap with her sisters, no matter how hard you try.”
“…”
“To close the gap, we have no choice but to absorb Atro’s power.”

The one who inherited Leviathan’s blood.
Only the children of the most powerful demon king of all time can stand against the goddesses.
In fact, Junis single-handedly cleaned up the lower goddesses who had committed massacres in Bunderry.
Ten goddesses like Minerva might be able to compete against her, but at least they won’t be pushed back helplessly.

Considering this, it can be said that Lilia did well.
An ordinary human with only a small amount of divine power due to the blood of an angel.
Lilia, who was only such a human, pushed her goddess.
It was practically a miracle.

Of course, it was possible because of the geographical advantage and the help of Minerva.

“Remember when I faced Atro. You don’t have to tell me who would have won if I hadn’t intervened, right?”

A fight between Lilia and Artro.
Even though she fought in a place called a workshop that had the effect of suppressing the power of the goddess, Lilia was almost defeated.
It was an art that she couldn’t use her magic properly and couldn’t even produce half of her normal strength, but that didn’t matter at all.
Rather, he pushed Lilia to the point where he doubted that such shortcomings existed.
If Lillia had fought with a normal weapon rather than a demonic sword, if Minerva hadn’t blown her back in the back of her head at the end of her life, her head on the floor would have been Lillia herself instead of Atro.

“…”

Lilia couldn’t resist.

‘Minerva is right.’

Just, I was just lucky.
A surprise attack seized the advantage, but that was all.
Because she provoked her, she almost boarded the train to the underworld.
Without Minerva-sama’s help, the outcome would have been very different.

‘I thought I was getting stronger…’

Just the way her older sister did, Lilia was remodeled.
It has been transformed into a strong person that no one can beat.

Like her demonic sword used by her sister, Lillia corrupted her own holy sword into her own demonic sword.
I thought that this would make me stronger.

As a result of this process, Lilia became stronger than she was when she was human.
She believed that with this, she would surely be able to equal her sister Eris.
She assumed that even if they stuck together again, they wouldn’t be pushed back, unlike her old days.

But as she fought Atro, Lillia realized that she was still lacking.
It is true that she has become stronger.
However, considering the enemies she will fight in the future, she is infinitely weak.
She needs some means to become stronger.

That means was right in front of Lilia’s eyes.
There is an offering called a goddess that she struggles with, swearing at herself as an insignificant creature.
If you eat that offering, you can become stronger.
Lilia staring at her terrified artro in silence.
After a while, she asked Minerva a question.

“Can I, a small creature, absorb it? Aren’t you going to die after absorbing it for no reason?”
“It would have happened if I had just absorbed it.”
“But is it different now?”
“Yes, Lilia, because you dyed it with evil yourself. It’s like evil merging with evil, so you won’t die.”
“Is that so?”
“Control is the key, but I’m sure you can do it.”

Originally, this is impossible.
Rather than using the power of the goddess as a weapon, absorbing the power itself is very dangerous.
If you absorb the power of a god made of pure goodness, small things can’t stand it.
A bowl is not suitable for a small creature in which good and evil coexist, to have the power of a god that only good.

But what if that innocence corrupts into evil?
What if the vessel to receive the corrupted power is also evil?
Then the story is different.
The impossible becomes possible.

“Then, what will happen to your younger brother who has had his powers stolen? Could it be that she even sacrificed her brother’s life for me?”
“No way. She won’t die if her powers are taken away. Our source is the soul, not strength.”
“…”
“Look at me. Even if I used half of my strength to make a holy sword, did I ever get weak?”
“Hmm…”
“Trust me and try it, Lilia. If something goes wrong, I will rescue you.”
“…”

I don’t know how much to believe.
Thank you for helping me, but I don’t understand why they do it this way.
It was still good to see him glaring at himself with a resentful gaze at himself for dropping himself into the abyss.

But if this intention is really pure.
If you are doing this purely because you want to help yourself.
Wouldn’t it be better to accept Minerva’s offer?
It’s true that you need more power to deal with the goddesses.

‘Let’s do it.’

It may be a trap, but there is no time to hesitate.
The invasion is now continuing in real time.
Every corner of the Demon Realm has become a battlefield.
Her sister may also be in crisis.

So let’s do it.
Whatever is at the end, let’s do it.
Lillia’s right hand, which reached towards Atro, was covered with evil demonic energy.

“Sir, I hate it. Don’t come closer don’t come closer Don’t come closer!”

Atro’s face was full of fear, as if he had seen the grim reaper.
She looked down on Lilia as an insignificant creature, but when this happened to her, she was just a weak woman after all.
She tried to back her up to escape, but her struggle was in vain as Minerva was holding her back.

“Ugh?”

Lillia’s hand entered Atro’s body.
Look for energies that feel familiar.
Fumbling with her hands, searching for signs of her own powers.

‘Found.’

Lillia found the traces.
And she pulled as hard as she could.

“Ah ah ah ah ah…”

Oops, I hear something breaking.
It’s the sound of being torn apart.
But there was no pain.
Artro never coughed up blood.
It’s just ripped.

“Is this the power of the goddesses?”

Lillia removed her right hand from Atro’s body.
A large orb filled with evil purple demons rested in the palm of her right hand.
This is the source of the power of the goddesses.
A marble that should originally be made of pure white light.
However, because it was contaminated, the light disappeared.

“Ah, oh, no. No…”

Atro looked at the purple sphere with eyes full of despair.
Her red pupils had turned gray at some point.

“Give it back, give it back to me…”

Artro begged, but Lilia had no heart to listen.

“Mmm!”

Without hesitation, Lilia inserted her orb into herself.
The sphere, which entered without any reaction, assimilated into Lillia’s body.
And,

“Keuk, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh…”

The recoil came.
The recoil that occurs when you have power you shouldn’t have.
In response, Lillia sat down with her hands wrapped around her body.
An evil black magic that was incomparable to her former body emanated from Lilia’s body.

“Haha, haha, haha!”

Sick. Hot. It’s so hot I can’t stand it.
Lillia, whose body had been turned into a fire, seemed to lose her mind at this rate.

“Heuuuuu!”

But Lilia gritted her teeth and tried to endure it.
Because if I lost her mind, it would end like this.

‘Wow, you have to endure it. You must endure unconditionally! If only to help her sister!’

Have to endure must endure unconditionally.
She has to endure even when it seems like she can’t stand it.
Even if the power does not fit the fountain, you must have it unconditionally.
So that she can help her sister.

“Heuuuuu… Ha, ha, ha, ha…”

Did Lillia’s will subdue her goddess power?
The black magic that radiated in all directions from her was gradually absorbed into Lilia’s body.
The recoil that seemed to tear her body apart gradually weakened.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

After a long time has passed.
Lillia raised her body.

“Whoa…”

Breathe out as if you’re feeling refreshed.
Her evil demonic energy shimmered all over her body as if it were wrapped around her.

‘Something seems to have changed.’

The feeling is new.
She is more than just the strength she felt when she became a demon.
Have you ever been so overflowing with demonic energy?
It feels so good to overflow.
Lillia wanted to use this power right away.

“…”

And memories of her began to emerge in her head.

– Sister, sister.

– My sister is really great. Can you do all these things

– Please don’t go, sister. Don’t leave me behind!

It is a memory of art.
Memories of the days following Minerva in the heavenly world.
While absorbing Atro’s power, he naturally learned about her past.
I could also understand the emotions Artro felt at the time.

Atro’s blind love for Minerva.
Lillia realized firsthand how much Artro’s affection for Minerva was.
Just as her longing for herself now to be equal to her sister Eris was great, she also wanted Atro to be equal to Minerva.

Was it because she found out that they had feelings in common?

“Artro, Mr. Artro…”
“What is it?”
“Why do I keep wanting to eat you when you were so arrogant?”

Oddly enough, Artro felt lovely.
It was so lovely that I wanted to covet her lips right away.
She wanted to rub her body right away and indulge in lust without hesitation.

“What, what are you talking about?”
“You look like my brother. I want to covet your body right now.”

Lilia approached with a flushed face.
She held Atro’s head with both her hands, like a man in love with her.
Artro was taken aback by the sudden action, but

“But it’s impossible now, so I’ll aim for the next opportunity.”

Lillia let go of her hand and it ended in an attempt.
If she had pushed on like this, obscene sounds would have filled this space.

“Then I will go. I was too late.”
“Hey, Lilia, wait a minute…”

Minerva stopped Lilia from running to her demon castle.

“What else is it, Miss Minerva?”
“Wear that too. It will be better than nothing.”

Minerva pointed her finger at her silver armor.
It was the armor Atro was wearing.

“…”

Later, soldiers near the workshop witnessed it.

A red-haired woman in silver armor rushes to the Demon Castle.
It was so fast that no one noticed who it was.

●●●

“Oh, sister. Why did you do this?”

There were only three people left in the workshop.
Diana still unconscious.
Minerva supporting her sister with her pregnant body.
Atro, who has been deprived of her powers and incapacitated.
Artro still couldn’t believe what Minerva had done to her.

“Why, why did you take everything I had? Why did you give it all to that demon?”

Everything was taken away
Her powers and soul were tainted by evil demons.
Her own light blue hair became an unsightly crimson, and her red eyes became gray as if she had faded.
Here, her own powers as well as her armor were stolen by Lilia.

Artro didn’t want to believe that Minerva did all of this.

Why did you betray them?
What made Minerva her sister like this?
Wouldn’t she be like her older sister Minerva?
Couldn’t she be completely insane and become a working dog for the enemy?
A fear she had never felt before consumed Artro’s heart.

“I did it because I thought it was a way to save the earth.”
“What is that bastard’s ground… Does she know what her sister did to her?”
“I know you well.”
“Why would you do this even though you know!”
“I want to protect my children living on the ground. I want to protect the people who believe in me. That is all.”

Her sisters intend to sweep the face of the earth.
Including the children she loves and the people who believe in her.
The only power to stop such sisters is the demons.
They’re the most heinous guys, but there’s no answer other than joining hands with them.
So Minerva sacrificed her own precious sister to Lilia.

“What the heck are those little things? Why did they abandon us?”
“Because they are precious. You said it before. They are more precious than sisters.”

Even if I said that, Art couldn’t understand it.

“I don’t know. I don’t know why my sister does that. Is cleansing really that bad? Is it bad to get rid of all the enemies that threaten us?”
“It is strange to me that I do not know that. Can’t you change your mind?”
“I don’t know if I can change it! I have no idea why my sister is doing this!”
“… Then why don’t you try to become a beauty yourself?”
“Yes?”

Minerva waved her hand, and a small barrel appeared in the air.
The barrel contained an unknown purple drug.
It was a drug that transformed any race into a demon.

“Come on, open your mouth. Before I force it.”
“Uh, sister…”

No one knows what happened after that.

“Keuheuk, augh, haaaaagh!”

It is only said that a woman’s pitiful scream was heard.
