"Why Lilith Is a God"

"Dr. Uriel, this is the biological sample of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Agni that you requested, sent from the Asian branch." The red-haired female warrior said to the woman with deep red hair in front of her. "Oh, by the way, the biological sample of the End- Maheshvara End-of-Law Honkai Beast, Da Zizaitian, which is recognized by the Entity, will be sent later."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Himiko." Uriel smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Maheshvara should be defeated by Elysia from headquarters, right? After all, she's the warrior who single-handedly defeated the Divine Beast. The End-of-Law Honkai Beast shouldn't be more troublesome than the Apostles of God who possess those special powers, right?"

"Elysia? She did participate in the subjugation, but she didn't defeat the Maheshvara One alone." Himiko glanced at Uriel speechlessly. "Dr. Uriel, I know you've been engrossed in studying the relationship between the Australia ecosystem and species for many years, and you're not very concerned about non-academic issues... But, could you at least take a look at some of the records of the Fire Moth in recent years? There's another one who has single-handedly subjugated Ritsuki, and besides... the warrior with the best record against Ritsuki so far isn't Elysia."

"Oh? Is that so? The two you mentioned are Lilith and Feng, right?" Uriel shrugged and said, "As far as I know, compared to Elysia, Lilith only defeated a Fifth Lawless One who wasn't fully awakened on her own. As for Feng, whether it was the Third or Fourth Lawless One, he actually cooperated with others to kill them, right?"

"That's true..." Himiko smiled wryly, "But both Kaede and Lilith are indeed among the best warriors in the headquarters right now, not much inferior to Elysia."

Furthermore, we must consider whether the legal issues they face are truly the kind that can be handled by a single individual.

The Law of Thunder might be possible, but for humans, just getting close to the Law of Wind would be a problem, and the Law of Ice's ultra-low temperature environment would be an extremely harsh environment that would make sustained combat difficult for humans.

Although in Himiko's own ranking of the Fire Moth's combat strength, Elysia is indeed the strongest, after all, her record of single-handedly defeating the Herrscher of the Void speaks for itself, and...

She had never seen any mission reports from Elysia that were anything other than "very simple," which certainly proved that the current battles were indeed a piece of cake for Elysia.

However... recently the council granted Maple the right to use the first Divine Key, Black Abyss White Flower, that they created. I heard that the weapon can exercise the power of the Law of Death. If we include this weapon... maybe Maple can go toe-to-toe with Elysia?

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things. Compared to all of this, Feng's love life is much more attractive... Let her think about it. Based on the information she has, there's Elysia who fell from the sky, Lilith who is her childhood friend, Mobius who is older, Pardofelis who is younger, Sakura who has a contrasting personality... and many other girls who are not competitive compared to the previous ones.

As for Hua, well, Hua probably didn't really have any thoughts about it. She misjudged him back then... There's nothing she can do about it; Feng has attracted just too many girls, and it's hard not to think about anything related to him...

Tsk tsk... This guy... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the male enemy of the Fire Moth.

However, at least so far, his behavior doesn't resemble that of a womanizer.

"Or is it that girls these days all like guys who are quiet, emotionless, and expressionless?" Himiko recalled the several times she had worked with Kaede on Inuyasha. First of all, this guy had a hard time remembering people's names; secondly, he would avoid talking if he could, and thirdly, she rarely saw any change in his expression. He was like a machine when completing tasks...

If Himiko hadn't occasionally caught glimpses of him laughing while chatting with Elysia, or looking helpless when talking to Lilith, Himiko would have really suspected that Kaede was some kind of android from a research institute.

Regardless, whether as a senior or junior, Feng is quite reliable as a comrade-in-arms, except for the coldness he displays when making certain decisions, which might make him seem a bit arrogant...

Himiko out of her thoughts and looked at Uriel, saying, "Now that the biological samples have been delivered, I will take my leave. I will bring the biological samples from the Maheshvara later."

"Thank you for your trouble, Captain Himiko," Uriel said with a smile.

She watched Himiko leave, then looked at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast specimen in the container and muttered to herself, "Honkai... according to current academic opinion, it was born alongside human civilization and has progressed with it... In the process of human civilization's progress, steel jungles have replaced primitive vegetation, animals that once roamed freely have been confined to cages for human viewing, creatures that should have gone extinct have been kept alive by human greed, and creatures that should not have gone extinct have gone extinct because of human greed... Humanity is trying to challenge the laws of nature, but if Earth is a conscious life form, could Honkai be a mechanism for self-elimination of humanity? Is this... the will of Earth?"

Uriel picked up the container containing the biological samples and placed it on his research table. As if in a conversation, he continued to mutter, "When Earth's environment is no longer suitable for humans, humans can leave Earth and abandon the planet that nurtured civilization. But Earth may never be able to give birth to life again..."

The headquarters of the Fire Moth.

"Do I have any plans to rebuild the Fallen Angel Squad?" Zhu Yufeng asked Kevin.

"After all, if the goal is to defeat the Honkai, every member of the Fallen Angel Squad Flame-Chasers strong enough to be considered a hero. I asked you the same question before, and your answer was to wait. So, what are you waiting for?" Kevin asked.

"The Fallen Angel Squad has quite a few members currently in the Fire Moth... Xila is nominally a security guard at the Mobius Laboratory, Rovoc and Admil are both members of the World Serpent, assisting Mobius and Vill-V under the guise of research. Lilith is currently in our squad, and although Mostima is taking care of her child, she will provide us with intelligence when needed. As for Beifengge... do you want me to go to the Mu Continent court to ask for him?" Zhu Yufeng shrugged. "Abaddon also just left the European branch's squad and will be assigned to headquarters in a few days."

"I know, but what I'm asking is, do you have any plans to rebuild the Fallen Angel Squad?" Kevin said, looking into Zhu Yufeng's eyes.

"I will find everyone again, but in the end, I will do it in a different way." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. "The Fallen Angel will still exist, but... I am both Fallen Angel and Flame-Chasers. That is my answer."

If we were to rebuild the Fallen Angel Squad... and add Kevin and the rest of you, then the number would be too large, not meeting the Fire Moth's regulations for a regular combat team. Or, Kevin, are you still thinking of sending Elysia off with a red card? Seriously... stop dancing around in the minefield!

Speaking of this, we have to mention the big gift Lilith prepared for Kevin's birthday that belonged to Mei. Zhu Yufeng wasn't quite sure what the big gift was, because the final scene was Kevin and Mei spending time alone together... It turned out that Mei made Kevin's birthday cake, and Mei's outfit that day was indeed very stunning, making people doubt that Mei could have done such a thing.

It's definitely not something Mei could have done. The costume design clearly comes from Lilith's taste. If Eden's taste is about elegance, then Lilith's designs are all about seduction and allure, the kind of design where you can almost see something but can't quite... Especially since Lilith had previously considered dressing Mei up like the Thunder Queen's Lightning Empress...

In short, judging from the actual results, Kevin's stubbornness level increased to another level after that.

Moreover... Zhu Yufeng's gaze fell on the lunchbox in Kevin's hand. "Kevin, did Mei make your lunch today?"

Kevin nodded. "She happened to have time, so she did it. To be honest... I never thought I could have a life like this..."

Indeed, Mei can actually cook now. Mei even takes the time to occasionally make bento boxes for Kevin. I remember Kevin always making bento boxes for Mei... Zhu Yufeng even thought that if there hadn't been Honkai, Kevin would most likely have become a stay-at-home dad, otherwise Mei would only be able to order takeout every day or eat instant noodles three times a day like Mobius...

"On Why Lilith is a God" takes even the seemingly simple concept of instant noodles to the point where she can still make bento boxes for Kevin... Although the bento box is a bit too simple, considering who made it... it can only be called a miracle.

Kevin glanced at the bento box in Zhu Yufeng's hand and said, "Lilith made this bento box for you today. It looks quite luxurious."

Zhu Yufeng looked up at the sky. Was this difficult for Lilith? Lilith's cooking skills were specially trained. The only one who could rival Lilith was probably Bai Wei, provided that Bai Wei didn't make any strange or unusual attempts... Although Elysia could also cook, she hadn't specially trained like Lilith.

Actually, Elysia is quite talented in cooking; it seems she can learn almost anything very quickly.

Originally, after Lilith arrived at the Fire Moth, she would usually take care of my breakfast. But then... later, it seems that Elysia and Lilith discussed it and decided to take turns serving one day each. And now, in addition to breakfast, there's also lunchboxes, and she even includes Vill-V, Pardo, and Sakura...

Mobius... Mobius is still waiting for me to bring him food...

"You're really playing hardball, kid," Kevin jokingly.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

To some extent, I might... probably really be good at this game, although I don't even know what I'm good at.

"... Speaking of which, where are Elysia and the others now? Disaster also said she's busy. It seems they have a... gathering every few days?" Kosma, who hadn't said much until now, hesitated.

(I actually thought about asking Disaster if it was a girls' tea party, like the ones Elysia, Aponia, and Eden used to have in my previous life... But if it was, wouldn't asking that seem like meddling too much in Disaster's own affairs?)

"Is it a girls' night out?" Kevin said bluntly. "Don't we play basketball together whenever we have time?"

"It might not be a tea party." Zhu Yufeng lowered his head and ate his rice. "It's possible that they were all learning to cook from Lilith."

Because Lilith did mention that Pardo had asked her for cooking lessons, and later, finding it troublesome, she simply taught Pardo along with Mei when she was teaching her. It seems that both Bai Wei and Lilith taught Elysia her cooking skills, and Sakura's cooking skills have improved a lot recently, it's hard not to suspect that it was Lilith again...

On Why Lilith is a God

Kosma glanced down at his bento box.

(Now that you mention it... it seems like Disaster's cooking skills have indeed improved recently...)

"So sometimes I wonder, is there really something Lilith can't do?" Kevin said.

While eating, Zhu Yufeng said without even looking up, "Lilith only said that she has studied a lot. As far as I know, she knows everything: music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Far East Eastern tea ceremony, dance, fashion design and matching, cooking, daily planning, economics, psychology... She also seems to have some knowledge of medicine, philosophy and law."

As far as I remember, Lilith was able to debate with Beifengge. Beifengge also said that Lilith had definitely studied philosophy and law. Lilith herself explained that since she learned quickly and found it boring, she simply learned more to pass the time.

Regardless of this point, we've all lived for over ten years, how can you learn so much?

Oh no, Lilith seems to be saying that part of it is actually because she met him and then learned from him.

"Since I don't know what kind of girl you like, I might as well learn all the girls I can."

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Lilith's intelligence is absolutely outrageous, but compared to Vill-V and Mobius, Lilith can only be considered an average person. She can do many things within the scope of normal people to the best of normal standards, but it is more difficult for her to specialize in anything.

She didn't have a strong thirst for knowledge; she only learned it to master this skill.

To give an example, if Lilith were to study mechanical dynamics, she could quickly grasp the knowledge, but she wouldn't be able to make various inventions like Vill-V. She could understand the principles and structure of the magic key, but without a precedent, she couldn't make a magic key.

"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?" Kevin asked.

"I don't think so," Zhu Yufeng replied. "Basketball court?"

"Um."

"... I'll do it too."

The other Fire Moth soldiers glanced this way. To them, the three guys sitting there were simply a winning trio, especially that Feng... but there was nothing they could do; each of the three was a formidable fighter...
