Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Frustrated Lilith!
Aster Grant was stunned for a while, then reached out to poke Lilith’s smooth forehead.
At this moment, this Blood Progenitor might be puzzled, perhaps due to just having fused bodies.
"Awoo!"
The Blood Progenitor acted like a fuzzy little kitten, opening her small mouth to bite his finger.
Aster quickly withdrew his hand, looking at the fierce yet cute little creature with astonishment.
He really couldn’t associate her with the noble, elegant, and glamorous Blood Progenitor from the Divine Realm...
"You..."
The words got stuck in his throat.
This sudden change left him at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Lilith’s crimson eyes were fixedly staring at the pulsing blood vessels in Aster’s neck.
If she could just drink this human’s fresh blood...
Just one sip...
Her strength could recover partially!
By then...
Neither the rebellious Blood Clan nor the Demon God would escape her wrath.
Just at this moment.
The door was suddenly flung open.
Lazuli, Vera, and Veridia, the three Beasts, rushed in with serious expressions.
They had sharply sensed the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar presence within the room.
But after entering, the three Beasts were visibly startled.
"Master, isn’t this...?"
Vera’s eyes widened as she pointed to Lilith, wrapped like a zongzi, "Isn’t this the Blood Progenitor? What’s she doing here?"
Veridia and Lazuli also turned their gazes toward her.
In the Divine Realm, the Blood Progenitor hadn’t left a favorable impression on them.
Both had given their all to defeat this Blood Progenitor!
As for Vera’s question, Aster frowned with hesitation.
What could he say?
Should he say that while giving the little one a bath, she suddenly transformed into the Blood Progenitor?
Unable to grasp the situation, he decided to directly ask the person involved.
Aster hoisted the "zongzi" in his hand, forcing Lilith to meet his gaze:
"Lord Blood Progenitor, care to explain?!"
Lilith looked at Aster, now close enough to touch, breaking out of her bloodlust-induced daze.
As she noticed the watchful eyes of the three Myth Level Beasts around her, combined with the emptiness of her own power...
Her scattered thoughts instantly cleared.
This is bad!
Just escaped the wolf’s den only to fall into the tiger’s lair.
She hadn’t forgotten that her Blood Clone died at the hands of this human.
And in her current body’s recovery phase...
The silver-haired little girl paused, deciding to first cooperate with this human.
Her energy levels had plummeted to their lowest point, making escape from this human’s grasp... exceedingly difficult!
It’s better to cooperate with this human for now!
After all, he probably wouldn’t forcibly take the Divine Pattern from her.
Once some time passed and her strength returned...
Even if she couldn’t defeat his three Beasts, her Blood Clan abilities should allow her to escape successfully.
"Human, you picked up my Blood Body formed from the Divine Pattern!"
But—
"Bang!"
Vera unceremoniously flicked her forehead:
"What human or not, you’re a captive now, call him Lord Aster!"
Treated like this by Vera...
Lilith’s pupils instantly turned blood-red, her fangs unconsciously elongating.
Insult!
This Elf dared to...
"Bang!"
Another crisp flick.
"What? Still want to resist?"
Vera squinted her eyes, unleashing a Tier Two Commander Level Myth aura.
And Veridia and Lazuli stepped forward in unison, the three terrifying auras crashing upon Lilith like a tide.
Feeling their pressure, Lilith’s face turned ashen.
Such trouble!
Lilith quickly calculated in her mind.
Even if all her strength was restored, she’d merely be at Commander Tier One; facing three Commander Tier Two Myth Level Beasts, her odds were slim.
Moreover...
Her gaze shifted towards Aster, her silver teeth clenching unconsciously.
This human was simply a juggernaut!
Not only did he have two Talents, but each was incredibly formidable.
Now that he’s advanced to Commander Level, his power could only have become even more formidable.
"Lord... Lord Aster..."
Lilith took a deep breath, forcing herself to lower her head.
Though once a Totem Level powerhouse, bowing to a human felt utterly humiliating, but circumstances spoke louder than pride.
And in the years before she became Blood Progenitor, she’d often had to endure such situations.
"What... do you want to ask?"
Aster cast a glance of approval at Vera.
Getting this haughty Blood Progenitor to concede would yield valuable information.
Without hesitation, he asked the most critical question.
"How does one breakthrough to Totem Level?"
"I don’t know!"
Lilith blurted out reflexively.
But as soon as the words escaped, she noticed the three Beasts’ eyes grow dangerously intent...
Seeing this scene, Lilith hurriedly added.
"I really don’t know!"
"Each Race has a different method to breakthrough to Totem Level, my breakthrough was thanks to inheriting the power of the previous Blood Progenitor."
"Additionally...she required me... to protect the Human Race."
Hearing Blood Progenitor Lilith’s response, Aster frowned slightly.
He thought by finding the once Totem Level Lilith, he could learn how humans could breakthrough to Totem Level.
But now...
The method of breaking through to Totem Level remained a mystery.
However, from Lilith’s answer, he at least understood why she protected humans.
Meanwhile, Lilith seized the moment of Aster’s contemplation to scrutinize him.
Suddenly she understood the reason for Aster’s venture to The Crimson See.
"You’re here for the Light Divine Crystal, aren’t you?"
"How about this...you let me drink a bit of blood, and not only will I fix the mess at The Crimson See, but I’ll also hand you the Light Divine Crystal, how’s that?"
Aster’s mouth twitched at Lilith’s proposition.
This Blood Progenitor really knew how to draw a big picture.
Not to mention, she currently had no control over the Blood Clan, completely lacking authority.
Besides...
Aster glanced at Lilith.
If they let her power recover as a Blood Progenitor...
She’d likely make a move against him immediately.
At that point, never mind negotiating terms, she might even claim his Divine Pattern.
Aster exchanged a look with Vera.
Vera caught on instantly, flashing a crafty smile.
Looks like...Lord Blood Progenitor needs some more education!
Then Aster left the room.
Moments later.
When Aster re-entered, Lilith’s gaze was "clearer" than before.
Vera proudly stepped forward to take credit:
"Master, it’s settled!"
While wrapped in bedsheets, Lilith’s look at Vera was as if seeing some terrifying demon.
Seeing Lilith’s "broken" state, Aster couldn’t help but twitch his eyes.
Though unaware of Vera’s methods, the effect was indeed immediate.
But as Lilith confessed thoroughly, Aster’s frown only deepened.
The situation was worse than he imagined:
Not only was there a Blood Clan rebellion, but even the Demon God was involved, and worse still...
Stryker was caught up in this mess too.
In this case, he simply couldn’t stand idly by!
However, everything was now related to Lilith...
He had to bring Lilith before the Queen of the Holy See before those Blood Clan members did.
Only then could this conflict have any chance of ending!
