Infinite wealth In A New World-Chapter 401: New Ally!
Hearing Sunny's words, all eyes turned to the sky. They watched as the very fabric of the atmosphere distorted. The illusion that masked the presence of the Supreme Beings shattered like glass, revealing three figures hovering in the void above.
Lilith, the Ruler of the third Domain, floated with regal grace. Beside her was Violet. Between them floated a pulsating white cocoon, radiating chaotic, unstable energy—Perran.
"This?!"
Instantly, Jinx and Ellen got on guard. Their instincts screamed danger. Ellen summoned her long white sword, which glowed with a blinding holy light, turning the air around her scorching hot. Jinx moved like a shadow, summoning both her black and red-colored daggers, her stance low and predatory.
Lilith was Eldoria's worst and strongest enemy. The nightmares of their dreams. The two were ready to fight to the death, but Sunny's next word froze the two girls and the Dragon King, Ladon.
"Stand down you two, she isn't an enemy."
"....?!!"
The girls lowered their weapons slightly, confusion warring with adrenaline.
Lilith descended from the sky, her feet touching the earth as lightly as a feather. She fixed her crimson eyes on Sunny. The silence stretched between them, heavy with history and unspoken power. After what felt like an eternity, she exhaled, the tension leaving her shoulders.
"I will agree to my master's offer, if you can heal Perran." She said, her voice devoid of its usual arrogance, gesturing to the cocoon floating beside her.
Sunny stared at the Cocoon, seeing the boy trapped within the chaotic spirit and Primordial energies. Then he looked at Lilith. He knew what Ezekiel—Lilith's master—had told her. From Ezekiel's memories, which now resided within Sunny, he knew everything about the woman before him.
He saw her experience, the eons of pain, the crushing suffering, and the fleeting moments of joy and peace. There was nothing he didn't know.
These memories showed him Lilith isn't an evil creature the worlds label her as. In fact, she did everything to protect her worlds. Even the Wendigos, the monsters that plagued the realms, were created by her... Their main goal was to hold the rules of the lower worlds in place, to act as enforcers of natural law. But the experiment had failed; they lost control and became carnivorous creatures, a sin she carried silently.
Sunny exhaled softly, staring at Lilith with a newfound understanding.
"It seems the great world can withstand a tenth order powerhouse." He said, noting that her true presence wasn't tearing the reality of the great world apart.
"Of course. Besides, I can't send a clone." Lilith answered, her gaze drifting to the cocoon. "Are you saving him?"
Sunny turned his head to Perran. He could still feel the chaotic energy roiling around the little boy—a storm of power that was tearing his body apart from the inside. It made him frown.
"Did you do something?" He asked, turning to Lilith.
"Well, we try a lot of means to bring him back, but all failed." Lilith said in a low voice, looking away. She hated looking weak, she hated admitting failure. But at this moment, she was weak, and powerless to save the only family she had left.
"Lilith... Why do you give yourself the name great mother?" Sunny asked, walking towards her slowly.
"I didn't. My followers gave me that title." Lilith said, still looking away, unable to meet the eyes of the man who knew her secrets.
Sunny walked towards her, his footsteps silent on the stone. He stood two feet away, his presence overpowering, causing Lilith to finally look up at him.
"I am sure Ezekiel told you about your seal." He whispered, his voice for her ears alone.
"Seal? You mean?" Lilith's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah... I can help with that."
Sunny didn't wait for a response. He turned his head to Perran. He snapped his fingers.
CRACK!
Instantly, the kid snapped his eyes open. The white cocoon shattered into pieces of light, dissolving into the air.
Perran landed on his feet, stumbling slightly. He looked at his hands, feeling the surge of power, looking at himself in shock. His senses returned in a rush, and he looked up, only to see Sunny standing close to Lilith—too close.
"You bastard!!! Stay away from her!!!"
BOOOOM!
He shot forward, the ground beneath him cratering from the launch force. Before everyone could stop him, he sent his strongest punch straight at Sunny's head.
BAM!!!!!
BOOOOOM!!
A sonic wave burst out from the point of impact, spreading in all directions. The shockwave was massive, pushing Lilith some steps back, while Violet, Jinx, Ladon and Ellen flew ten meters backward, shielding their faces from the debris.
"Huh?"
The smoke cleared, revealing Sunny. He stood perfectly still, staring at Perran with a bored expression. A pure white shield made from compressed air stood between his face and Perran's glowing fist.
"You?"
Perran was dumbfounded. He had put everything into that strike.
"Do you think I am still the same person you fought in the past?" Sunny asked calmly.
A frown appeared on his face. The air shimmered. A wave of Primordial energy spread out from the shield, magnified tenfold, and smashed into Perran.
"AHHH!"
Perran exclaimed as his arm snapped back. He went flying backward like a ragdoll, crashing into the ground and sliding until he fell in front of the stunned Violet. He vomited a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest.
"This... How can you be so powerful?!" He yelled, trying to scramble up, but his body screamed in protest. Before he could stand up, Violet held his shoulder.
"Calm down, Young master, look at mother." Violet said, her voice trembling.
Perran blinked, wiping blood from his lip. He turned to Lilith, and he was shocked by the look he was seeing. Lilith never showed her emotions; she was a statue of ice and command. But now... He could see relief, vulnerability, and even love in her eyes.
"Mother?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Before he knew it, Lilith appeared in front of him. She didn't scold him. She fell to her knees and hugged him tightly, stunning Perran in place.
'What the hell is happening here? First, the enemy have become so powerful, and now. Mother isn't even bothered by him but hugging me.' He thought, his brain short-circuiting.
"Thank goodness you are safe, Perran." Lilith separated from the hug, staring at the boy in front of her with a relieved smile, tears pricking the corners of her eyes.
"Gosh, you can't even thank me, instead, you attacked." Sunny lightly shook his head, dusting the invisible dust on his robe with exaggerated casualness.
"Um... What is going on here?" Perran asked in shock, slowly getting to his feet with Lilith's help. He looked between the two, trying to bridge the gap.
"And... How did I enter the Tenth order?! Wait a second! I attacked you with my tenth order strength!! How are you still standing! Did I sleep that long?!" He turned to Violet, panic rising in his voice.
"How many years have I been asleep?!!"
"Huh? Um..." Violet was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer. It had only been six to seven months, but the world had turned upside down.
"Forget it." Lilith ruffled his head, a gesture of affection she hadn't shown in centuries. "Your tenth order strength is thanks to him... From now onwards, he is not an enemy, but an ally." She said with a smile.
Perran blinked, still trying to get used to this current mother... Her personality was so different. More... Loving. More human.
"But..." Perran turned to Sunny, his warrior's pride grappling with the logic.
"How can he boost my strength to that of a tenth order? I will need one thousand Primordial stones to even think of achieving this strength." He said.
"You will know everything when we get back." Lilith repeated her words, cutting off the interrogation. Seeing her firm expression, Perran nodded, keeping quiet, though his eyes lingered warily on God Wolf.
Seeing his unsatisfied expression, Lilith sighed, and turned to Sunny, her demeanor shifting back to business.
"We will need your help, Sunny."
"With the Giants?"
"You? How do you know that?" Lilith asked in surprise. She had only just dispatched messengers.
"I am in this realm, so everything that happens here is within my sight." Sunny said. His omnipotence was growing daily. He looked over his shoulder at the human-form dragon.
"Stay back Ladon. With your ninth order strength, you will be able to manage everything in this faction. We will be back." He said.
"Yes, My Lord." Ladon gave a deep bow. He knew his place was here, rebuilding his family's legacy.
"Wait, you are coming with us? Now...?" Lilith asked, hope rising in her chest. She turned her head to Ellen and Jinx, analyzing their auras.
"With them?"
"Not a bad idea, they both need to stabilize the powers in their body before they can touch the tenth order rank. This battle will help them with it." He said. He crossed his arms on his chest, looking at the distant horizon.
"Besides, I am not planning on fighting."
WHOOSH!
The space behind Sunny tore open. The air grew heavy with ancient power as the Three Great Protectors appeared. They stood silently, and moved their gazes onto Lilith and her stunned group.
"Come on, let's go and assist, the war have already started." He said.
He waved his hand. Instantly, the reality in front of them peeled away, and a massive gateway formed behind Lilith.
Everyone turned to the gateway. Through the swirling portal, they didn't see a strategy room; they saw chaos. They watched the battle occurring at the other end—titans tearing through defensive lines, spells flying all over the place like fireworks, and the sky burning red.
"What? Why didn't Agora report this to me?!" Lilith was stunned speechless, realizing the situation was far worse than she imagined.
