Did the witch get her wish today?

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the sea of ​​flames full of corpses.

But this time was different. She saw her limbs were covered in blood and her fingers were bent into strange shapes.

Ah I……

Lilium came to her senses. Like the other dead, she was lying in a church full of rubble and burning with flames.

The chest hurts, the whole body hurts... Is this when she dies?

By the way, when she saw her adoptive father and younger brother, she was so sad that the soldiers turned back.

Then... what happened next?

She seemed to lose her mind with grief and anger, and then...became like this?

The flames crackled and the wooden beams fell down, covering the miserable bodies of the dead.

Lilium remembered what was in her mind before she died——

The dead bodies of companions and students, the burning medical hall, and the adoptive father and innocent people were shot to death amidst their begging.

And her younger brother, Jacob, who was not infected with platinum-lead disease and had just turned ten.

Obviously I pray every day, I have never done anything evil, why the world government and the royal family have abandoned us, why good people are not rewarded, why...the gods have not appeared?

Mom and Dad were the same at that time, and they are now, is it because she is too weak and not pious enough?

I am so unwilling, really unwilling——! !

She struggled to open her mouth, like a fish out of water, with broken syllables in her throat, and tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

The statue above her head made a sound of cracking, and Lilium saw the merciful Madonna break a few knots and smash it down on herself.

Gods... don't exist at all! ! ! !

However, just as this idea flashed in the girl's mind, and the moment she was hit by the white boulder, she suddenly came to a void space.

Her body was still stained with blood, and her fingers were still twisted into strange shapes. She lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and then... saw the light.

It is something that is difficult to describe in words, it is thousands of rays of light, condensed and diffused, like bubbles in the water that are suddenly big and small.She fell to the ground, but the thing floated in midair as if there was no obstacle.The dislodged parts of the sphere and the eerie outflowing protoplasm gathered together to form something ominous and terrifying like she had never seen before.

……what……?What's there?

The girl's body and brain, which were on the verge of death, sensed a huge crisis, but she couldn't move.

Its face is formed by the convergence of iridescent spheres, and the light-ball-like bubbles shrink and split, turning slowly, like a huge "eyeball".

Finally, the "eyeball" slowly focused on her.

“……———————!……——————!”

Unknown whispers filled Lilium's brain, she twitched and rolled in pain, and her torn vocal cords let out a terrible howl.

Something seemed to melt, and something didn't.Her body seemed to be torn apart abruptly and kneaded together, but she seemed to be intact.

Indescribable things flashed in her eyes, and the voices in her head told her:

All is in "it" and "it" is in all.

"It" is—————

The sharp pain in her chest allowed her to regain consciousness, and Lilium breathed in the fresh air with great gulps.

The sky is blue above the head, and the ground is solid under the feet.

At this time, the girl noticed that she was wearing a golden spear in front of her chest, and her whole body was bound by chains.

She was nailed to the stone wall.

"...Have you regained consciousness, you bastard?"

The golden king stood in front of her, condescending, with no emotion in his eyes.

"Lily... you're back."

The green God Weapon seems to have been injured... Who hurt him?

"Do you remember what happened to you?"

I remember that she seemed to meet the goddess named Ishtar head-on, and before she even had time to say a word, she was beaten by the other party?

Lilium looked at the man in front of her suspiciously. She wanted to move her hands, but found that the chains were very tight.She wanted to speak, but there was a tearing pain in the part of her chest pierced by the gun.

Thanks to that goddess, she finally remembered why she traveled here.

In that fire scene, on the verge of death, the moment of spurning and hating the gods.

The miracle really...appeared on her body.

King Gilgamesh pulled out his long///spear, and although the chains still held her firmly in place, she was able to breathe no matter what.

The hole in her chest slowly healed, Lilium smiled wryly.

...It doesn't seem to be that good. Is she still a human being now?

"I remembered why I came here."

"Oh? I'm not curious why that idiot wanted to kill you?"

Deliberately ignoring the word "idiot", Lilium subconsciously clenched her lower lip as she looked at Enkidu's blood-stained white clothes.

"I probably know the reason. For the gods here...that thing...is bad? Is she...is it alright, Lady Goddess?"

"After the woman attacked you, seeing that the situation was out of control, she ran away with a guilty conscience."

To Lilium's surprise, it was Enkidu who answered her this time, and of course, his tone was not very gentle.

"As I said before, the country was ruined by the platinum-lead disease." Without delving into the coldness in the two's voices, Lily took a deep breath and slowly began to explain. "Actually, after seeing my father and everyone dead in the church, I was also discovered by soldiers from other countries."

She had already lost her mind at the time, and she probably had friction with those people, and was eventually shot and fell into a pool of blood.The church was also completely burned by those people with a blowtorch.

"When I saw the statue crumble, I thought I was going to die."

It turned out that there was something hidden in the statue of the Virgin who had been quietly guarding the church for a hundred years, carved from a large block of platinum lead.

She vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a fragment of some substance.

"I couldn't move, I just got hit by something that was falling."

It was also that insignificant piece, smaller than a fist, that saved her from being directly smashed to death by the stone statue.

But thinking about it now, it would be better to die directly in the sea of ​​fire.

"The moment I touched that thing, I... I was taken to a strange space."

As she said that, Lilium's body began to conditioned reflex and trembled uncontrollably.

"Saw... that 'thing'."

The girl couldn't describe what she saw. While it brought her an almost impossible miracle, it also brought her endless pain and fear that penetrated into her soul and bone marrow.

Just like what Ishtar said, it is a terrible thing that, even in retrospect, is profane and tortures the spirit.

Now, she just described it, and the desire to vomit has eroded her brain.

"What's the name of 'it'?"

Lilium twitched her lips and shook her head in vain, unable to utter a word.She was afraid that if she opened her mouth again, she could only scream in collapse.I was also glad that the chains were still tightly binding her in place at this moment, otherwise I would not be able to restrain the desire to pinch her neck with both hands and scratch the skin with my nails.

She even wanted to tear off the pair of eyes that had looked directly at "it", and tear off the tongue that was about to utter those words.

"enough!"

It wasn't until her jaw was pinched that Lilium suddenly realized it.

"Jill, stop asking. She'll bite her tongue off."

"En... Enkidu...!" Tears welled up, and the girl was vague but struggling to mobilize her already aching tongue. "Are you... sorry!"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in seeing this bastard die again." Gilgamesh turned his head, "It will be troublesome if that thing appears again."

Although Ishtar left, the palace hall left a mess.Lilium didn't know what happened to her body. She only knew that the priests who followed the goddess were completely insane. Only a few soldiers could suppress a self-harming person.

Naturally, Gilgamesh has to deal with the mess.

As for herself—

"I'll stay with Lily."

Enkidu, who was the lock of the sky, took over the task of guarding her, and carried the girl who hadn't broken free and didn't want to regain her freedom back to her empty residence.

The restraints on her body had been undone, but Lilium still didn't want to move.Because even she herself didn't know whether the same thing as before would happen in the next second.

"Actually, Jill and I noticed very early on that you seem to be connected to something."

Enkidu slowly told the girl something she didn't know.

"We judge that as long as you don't attack and destroy your body, the existence on the other side of the connection will not be awakened, but why..."

But there was an impatient goddess who didn't know the cause and effect made a move.

"That's fine..." After a while, Lilium responded, "If it wasn't for that goddess, I might not be able to remember everything."

She pulled the corner of her mouth, trying to show a smile, but failed.

"You...you can't kill me, right?"

The long///spear on the chest and the attack of the goddess are all showing a terrible fact.

"Yes."

As she thought, Enkidu gave an unabashed answer.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we really cannot kill you by normal means."

Lilium closed her eyes in despair.
