Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 459

“Krrraaa!”

“Another breath attack!”

“We’ll block it, sis!”

Thud!

The twin sisters enlarged their shrunken fortress, using it to block the Hydra’s venomous liquid.

Though they couldn’t set up supports, this wide-area defense fortress was made in preparation for such situations, but it was melting away uselessly in the face of the Hydra’s venom.

“Undeadification is impossible. Sadly, sample collection will be difficult.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ says that the things spewing from the Lair of Lust are deeply imbued with demonic energy, making undeadification difficult.

Baekhyun, who had arrived unnoticed, summoned a massive number of undead befitting his title, the Sea of Corpses, to fight the monsters pouring out of the Lair of Lust.

Yoo Seoa, Kang Hancheol, and other key combatants were dealing with the Hydra’s heads, while production-type members like the twin sisters supported the fight from the side.

Thanks to Harry gathering the guild members with Ose’s authority, guild members were steadily gathering in front of the Lair of Lust even at this moment.

“But do we really have to deal with this? Isn’t coming here what the Guild Master wanted in the first place?”

“I don’t know the details either. What do you think, Ana?”

“I just don’t like it~”

“Huh? Ana, you were fighting because of that?”

“Then, don’t we not have to fight?”

“Without knowing the details, us being here might be a hindrance.”

They were fighting the monsters diligently, but there was a major problem with this battle.

Namely, there was no purpose.

Seun had entered the Lair of Lust according to his goal, so with the goal achieved, there was no reason to keep holding out.

However, some, including Ana, felt an instinctive sense of crisis.

“But, if that’s the case, there’s no reason for them to spew out monsters and try to stop us, right?”

“That’s true…”

If there was no reason, the other side wouldn’t have any reason to spew out monsters and block the guild members like this.

They said knocking on the door would be a hindrance, but they could have just said they needed time to talk.

Since it was the situation Seun wanted in the first place, even if they had just said that, no one here would have bothered the door and interfered.

But they even spewed out monsters and created a battle situation?

Yoo Seoa thought there must be a reason for this.

“If we keep going like this, there’s no end. I think we need to block that door, but that might interfere with the Master.”

“How about we retreat for now?”

“Hmm…”

With Seun absent, Vice Guild Master Yoo Seoa had to make the right decision.

Although the reaction from the door spewing out monsters was unsettling, as the guild members said, the current battle had no meaning.

She was contemplating whether to leave this place and wait for Seun’s contact, as people suggested.

– Are you all fighting hard? You do have some sense, I see.

“This voice is?”

“It’s Lilith.”

“The Demon God of Lust…”

The goal Seun was trying to find in the trial of the 68th floor.

Lilith’s voice echoed in the minds of all the guild members present in the joint space.

Just as they were considering retreating from this place, her voice, no matter how positively they tried to think of it, contained an overwhelming pressure.

– You’re not thinking of running away, are you? Because if you are, something not so good might happen.

“Could it be the Guild Master!”

– Ah, so you call him Guild Master? Yes, your Guild Master. I was just about to finish sucking up all the energy here and clean up the place. So, would you mind helping me clean up?

Clunk!

The half-open door opened completely.

Then, the monsters, which were already difficult to deal with, began to increase about twice as fast.

It was hard enough to deal with one Hydra, but so many monsters.

The increased number of monsters made the joint space feel suffocatingly narrow, and the floor was filled with sticky amniotic fluid that grabbed at their ankles.

– I can’t invest divinity for too long either. About 10 minutes should do it, right?

Completely deal with the monsters within 10 minutes.

That was what she meant.

It was already hard enough to deal with the existing monsters, but now they had to deal with all the monsters that were increasing more than twice as fast.

The monsters were constantly increasing even at this moment, and they didn’t know when that door would close, yet they had to clear all the monsters in 10 minutes.

It was an unfair proposal that didn’t make sense.

– If you’re late, I’ll take your Guild Master with me, so try your best~

“Damn it!”

“Everyone, form ranks! Harry, gather the scattered guild members as quickly as possible!”

“I’ll apply debuffs as widely as possible!”

“Hancheol, I’m sorry, but can you handle the Hydra alone for a bit!”

“Enough said!”

Kwaaang-!!

Now was the time to judge and act with their bodies rather than complaining.

The Diablo Guild members began to brace themselves with enthusiasm to achieve the newly created ‘goal.’

* * *

“I want to make a deal.”

Seun mentioned the deal first, but Lilith’s face didn’t show the slightest change in expression.

She simply smiled charmingly, as if she had been waiting for it.

“I think I know what you want. What can I get?”

“Nothing.”

“Hmm? Aren’t you being too arrogant for someone so confident? You know, I’m a Demon God.”

From her raised finger, her nail extended sharply like a knife.

A chilling premonition was felt on his neck.

Even without feeling it touch his skin, a long cut appeared on his neck, and a few drops of blood trickled down.

It was such a smooth and light movement, but he couldn’t even feel the attack coming.

Although she hadn’t fully descended, she was, in the literal sense, a Demon God.

No matter how strong he had become, Seun couldn’t resist her right now.

All he could do was stare straight into her eyes with strong mental fortitude and the help of Ruin and Turik.

“Don’t you already know?”

“I’ve seen those nasty things.”

“Then I think you’ll understand. If things continue like this, not only the Tower and the players but also the Constellations will be finished.”

“And you’re saying you’re the only one who can stop it?”

“That’s right.”

Seun hadn’t intended to make such a proposal from the beginning.

However, before entering the Lair of Lust, he realized that she had been watching him from Lilith’s words inside the door.

‘Oh, you came on your own? I was going to go find you myself when you became a little more appetizing.’

Thanks to those words, Seun could guess that she already knew about the Outer Gods.

Then it was easier to talk.

The biggest problem when proposing a deal to her was explaining the Outer Gods.

If she already knew about the Outer Gods, even a Demon God would eventually have to accept the deal.

If the Outer Gods destroyed the Tower, even the Constellations would eventually be annihilated.

“I’ve already been recognized as a New Star by the Administration [governing body of the Tower] and have been asked to handle matters related to the Outer Gods.”

“Hmph~ Those Administration guys, as expected. Entrusting such important work to a player, they’re useless.”

“Annihilating the Outer Gods isn’t something anyone can do. Right now, my power is the only one that can do it.”

Seun shone his Stigmata.

The third power, Destruction.

Ruin, a lifeform born from it.

It was a power that Seun, who had gathered divinity with the will to annihilate the Outer Gods and manifested the Stigmata, could create.

Perhaps even if someone among the Constellations accepted a new apostle to oppose the Outer Gods right now, it would be impossible to awaken such power.

“I know, I know. Of course, I know. But even if you have that power, who can guarantee that you can stop them?”

“Whether I succeed or fail, it’s something no one but me can do.”

“Ah, you seem to be mistaken. You’re not thinking that since you’re the only one who can stop them, I’ll unconditionally help you, are you?”

Lilith flicked her long hair. Then, she crushed a monster crawling right below her with a crunch!

Immediately, a chair made of the monster’s flesh and amniotic fluid was created, and Lilith sat on it, coquettishly crossing her legs and resting her chin on her hand as she continued to speak.

“As I said earlier, I’m a Demon God. That means I’m not some idiot shouting about justice or peace from up there in the clouds.”

Lilith looked around widely.

In the places her gaze reached, the monsters that had not yet fully formed raised their bodies as if asking her to look at them.

It was as if the entire space was wriggling, reacting to her gaze.

“If I can’t stop the destruction, I can just avoid it. I don’t care if the world is destroyed or not. I can just gather enough power to create a place like this and endure until I die of boredom.”

Seun frowned at her continued explanation.

He had faced several Demon Gods so far, but none of them were as uninterested in the current world as she was.

Mammon helped Seun because he was worried about losing his treasures, and Beelzebub helped Seun because he was worried about his food disappearing.

Leviathan was showing affection for Seun, but basically, she felt jealousy towards Lucifer and asked for revenge, and Beelzebub helped Seun to enjoy peaceful sleep.

Even Lucifer had impure motives of overturning the Tower, but wasn’t he interested in the Tower?

“So, rather than believing in the uncertain words of stopping destruction, it’s more certain to invest my power in creating a new lair.”

Seun hadn’t even considered this.

Honestly, he couldn’t think of a way to persuade her when she said this much.

‘Should I give up?’

The best option was to bring her over to his side, but he could still avoid the worst-case scenario of facing her as an enemy.

Even if she tried to keep him from leaving, he could borrow Leviathan’s help and escape from this place.

While Seun’s mind was racing, Lilith, who had been watching him with amusement, continued to speak.

“However, I have a condition for the deal.”

Her condition.

Since she said Seun’s power was uncertain, was she asking him to prove his power right here?

Seun, who had thought that far, grabbed Durandal.

He didn’t think he could beat her in this place, but he had no intention of being easily defeated.

However, her condition was completely different from what Seun had thought.

“I don’t think you can stop them alone, no matter how great you are.”

She reached her hand under the chair. Then, an unstable lifeform broke through the amniotic fluid and crawled up her palm.

“What I want to see is how well you’ve raised your children. That’s it.”

Chwaarrreuk!

The moment her finger pressed down on one part of the chair, the amniotic fluid next to it soared high.

The translucent amniotic fluid darkened for a moment, and something began to be reflected on the flattened surface.

– Damn it, how many more are coming out!

– Block! Block!

– I think we need to do something about that door first!

– Can you buy me some time? I have an idea.

– Understood.

“That’s…!”

What began to be reflected on the amniotic fluid was the 모습 [scene] of the Diablo Guild fighting countless monsters.

Not only the Hydra they had defeated before entering the Lair of Lust, but also a number of monsters that were on a different level from before were swimming in the amniotic fluid on the floor and attacking the Diablo Guild.

“Your children and my children. If your children win against mine, I’ll listen to your deal. How about it, do you like it?”

Seun’s hand holding Durandal tightened.
