I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 399

The large orb of light in Lilith's mind, imprinted with the legacy of the Calamity Witch, did not resolve Erin's doubts.

It's not that there are no relevant records, but that the large sphere of light seems to have some kind of seal.

It restricts access to a lot of high-level knowledge to Lilith.

Unless Lilith's strength reaches a certain level and meets the other party's requirements, she will not be able to obtain higher-level knowledge from the large light sphere.

As for the specific descriptions of the Light of Calamity, apart from some records of the abilities of the initial prototype of the Light of Calamity, the rest are all contained in that restricted knowledge.

Erin had originally intended to use his mental powers to see if there was a way to break the restrictions of that orb of light and help Lilith obtain some information from it.

But before Erin's mental power could enter Lilith's body...

The large ball of light that Lilith mentioned seemed to sense danger and vanished from Lilith's mind with a "whoosh".

However, the mental energy that Erin used to probe into Lilith's mind, relying on her trust, was blocked by a dark mist before it could even reach the depths of Lilith's mind.

Although Erin's mental power could forcefully break through the obstruction of that dark mist, forcibly entering the depths of Lilith's mind would inevitably cause unpredictable damage to Lilith's spirit and mind.

But do you think you can escape this way?

Buzz...

With a buzzing sound, Erin's mental power gathered, directly forming a figure composed of mental power in Lilith's mind.

Just as the Erin, composed of spiritual power, was fully formed and its eyes began to gleam with a brilliant light.

The dark mist that had been occupying Lilith's mind suddenly cracked open.

Through the crack, Erin could vaguely see a huge sphere of light floating in the black mist.

The moment Erin "saw" that giant sphere of light, a mysterious message flowed into Erin's mind along with his gaze.

After Erin had processed the information he had just received...

The large ball of light that had been floating and disappearing in the black mist vanished again.

Even the black mist that had previously blocked Erin's path receded like a tide.

·······

"Disaster!"

After withdrawing his mental energy from Lilith's mind, Erin frowned slightly as he pondered the information the large orb of light had transmitted to him.

Just now, when I was about to attack those black mists...

The large ball of light hidden deep within Lilith's mind seemed to be there out of fear that Erin would find it and settle scores later, or perhaps out of concern that Erin's actions might cause irreversible damage to Lilith's mind.

In short, at the last moment, it seemed to surrender and convey some message to Erin.

And among these messages are the reasons why Lilith felt uneasy.

The Calamity Witch, the Calamity Witch.

This is more than just a literal name.

While bringing calamity to others, the Calamity Witch is also a disaster for the witch herself.

Each time, when the Calamity Witch's calamity energy accumulates to a certain level...

This world will then unleash a calamity upon the Witch of Calamity.

Once the calamity is overcome, the Calamity Witch's power will increase rapidly.

However, if she fails to overcome the calamity, not only will the Calamity Witch herself die in that calamity, but the people and environment around her may also be affected and suffer terrible disasters.

Therefore, each calamity is both a test for the Witch of Calamity and a disaster for her.

Moreover, the calamities that befall the world are not necessarily material disasters. As the power of the Calamity Witch grows stronger, she survives several calamities.

Calamity witches usually face both physical and mental tribulations.

In such calamities, countless relatives, friends, lovers, and children of the Calamity Witches will be caught up in it, and then perish in one calamity after another.

For these reasons, many calamity witches become extreme, impulsive, and appear crazy due to the repeated calamities they suffer in the later stages of their lives.

At the slightest setback, they will use their abilities to bring disaster upon the people or things around them.

It's a natural disaster that can be described as humanoid.

This is why they are called the Witches of Calamity.

It is precisely for these reasons.

During the transmission of the Calamity Witch's legacy, this information is concealed in the early stages. Only after the inheritor has condensed the Light of Calamity and embarked on this irreversible path will this information be revealed to the inheritor within the transmission message.

Because by then, the inheritors had long since run out of options.

only······

Unlike other inheritors of the Calamity Witches, Lilith had no choice at all.

Because... she was born a woman of calamity.

Even without gathering the light of calamity, as time goes by and Lilith grows, the calamity that has been entangled with her from the past will grow stronger day by day.

One day, Erin's holy light healing will be unable to suppress the calamity within Lilith.

And by then...

Lilith, engulfed by countless calamities, will meet a tragic end.

It was for this reason that Lilith's mother suddenly appeared after Lilith encountered the Calamity Witch, and without hesitation erased the Calamity Witch's physical body, turning her soul and knowledge into a sphere of light to guide Lilith onto the path of the Calamity Witch.

because.

In her opinion.

Rather than waiting for Lilith's calamity to grow to an irreversible level, it would be better to let her embark on the path of the Calamity Witch and try to gain a glimmer of hope.

······

However, this was a message from a large, luminous sphere that seemed to be alive, capable of hiding and fearing.

Erin didn't believe it completely.

Who knows how much of this is actually true?

So, after exiting Lilith's mind, Erin, carrying a strand of Lilith's hair, entered the Balance Space.

By using the high positions of the scales, one can divine the information one wants to ascertain.

······

A dozen minutes later.

Having exited the scales and finished the divination, Erin looked at Lilith, who stood timidly in front of her, and sighed softly in her heart.

because.

According to the divination.

Aside from some information that the large sphere might be deliberately concealing.

The information I obtained from that large sphere of light was all true.

With Fregrana's face slightly pale, Erin spoke up: "I've roughly figured out what happened..."

Erin did not hide the information he had obtained.

He told Fregra and Lilith everything he knew.

Because they have a greater right to know than we do.

"...So, the unease that Lilith felt was probably caused by the Light of Calamity being passively devoured and condensed into Calamity Qi, making the so-called calamity closer and closer."

"Although the sphere of light from the Calamity Witch's legacy conceals this information, as long as Lilith can overcome those calamities, she will actually gain some benefits, and may even acquire some extraordinary power..."

Listening to Erin's description.

Fregra's expression was grim, and he was also somewhat confused, because for a moment he couldn't tell whether the so-called legacy of the Calamity Witch was good or bad for Lilith.

If it weren't for the Calamity Witch incident.

With Erin's help, Lilith's condition had stabilized.

Even if, as the orb of inheritance said, as Lilith grows, the calamity that plagues her will become stronger and stronger.

But at least until Erin is completely helpless against the calamity within Lilith, she can grow up happily like a normal person.

But now, facing one terrible calamity after another, and the ever-approaching threat of death, can Lilith still be happy?

And can Lilith really survive those terrible calamities time and time again?

Even though his reason told Fregra that the Calamity Witch might be the only way for his daughter to survive, the thought of the pressure Lilith might face in the future made him feel that Lilith's life had become gloomy.

Forcing himself to stay alert, Fregra took a deep breath and asked with a somewhat grim expression, "So how should we get through this so-called calamity?"

Erin shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't know."

Before Fregra's expression could turn even more grim, Erin quickly said, "Although I don't know what the Calamity Witch is talking about, I do know that if Lilith is strong enough, then the chances of her overcoming the so-called calamity will be greater."

"From now on, Kiris and I will set aside some time to teach Lilith, to help her become..."

Just as Erin and Fregra were discussing how he and Gillis would teach Lilith to become stronger,

Lilith, who was standing between Erin and Fregra, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Erin, Lilith doesn't want to become stronger, nor does she want to become the Calamity Witch, so there's no need to trouble you and Sister Kiris."

When Erin followed the sound and saw the determined expression on Lilith's face, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

Looking at Erin and Fregra, whose faces showed confusion.

Before Fregra could show any anxiety on his face and was about to scold him, he spoke up.

A smile suddenly bloomed on Lilith's little face: "I don't want anything to happen to Daddy and Big Brother Erin!"

"If the Calamity Witch's calamity will bring disaster to my family and friends, then I'd rather not have to go through that calamity. My father and older brother have already sacrificed enough for Lilith, so... I want to see my father and older brother doing well."

"And I'll tell Dad and Big Brother a secret: Lilith isn't afraid of dying, because I should have died a long time ago. So, I'm more afraid of losing Dad and Big Brother than of dying."

Seeing that Fregra was about to say something more, Lilith added, "This time, no matter what Daddy says, Lilith won't agree. Let... let Lilith be willful one more time!"

After watching Lilith smile and say the cruelest words to him in that sweet voice, he felt a pang of sadness.

Erin's heart was suddenly touched.

Because of Erin's psychic field, she could clearly sense how resolute Lilith was when she said those words.

Moreover, given Lilith's personality, Erin knew that if she had really made up her mind...

He and Fregra might not be able to persuade her otherwise.

Erin could sense Lilith's determination, so how could Fregra not perceive the same determination in his daughter's words?

"Lilith..."

With red-rimmed eyes, Fregra moved his mouth a few times before squatting down and pulling Lilith tightly into his arms.

"dad!"

Lilith, who was being held in Fregra's arms, also hugged her father tightly.

His eyes were filled with reluctance.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to part with her own life; what she couldn't bear was that after she died, she would never see her father again.

However, if living would harm her father, Lilith would rather die.

I already owe my father, and even my older brother Erin, enough.

Looking at Fregra, who was holding his daughter with tears streaming down his face, and Lilith, who was in Fregra's arms, trying hard to hold back her reluctance but looking at him with firm eyes.

Erin chuckled.

Then he stepped forward and vigorously ruffled Lilith's hair, saying, "It's such a small thing, don't keep talking about dying. How much do you look down on your father and older brother!"

"Can this so-called catastrophe be as severe as the Battle of New York? The aliens and abominations that appeared during the Battle of New York couldn't do anything to your father and older brother, so why would we be afraid of this so-called catastrophe?"

"But Lilith, if you don't want to be the Witch of Calamity, then you shouldn't be. To be honest, facing calamities that could strike at any moment all the time is indeed a bit too much pressure for a little girl like you."

"Okay, in a bit, your big brother will get rid of that nascent form of calamity light outside your body that keeps devouring the calamity. Before that, I'll try to get that big ball of light in your mind. That way, you won't have to worry about any calamity."

"As for the aura of calamity that's been afflicting you, you don't need to worry about it at all; your older brother will take care of it for you. However, I think it's still necessary for your sister Kiris to help you make a plan and train your body."

Before Lilith could speak after Erin finished speaking, Fregra asked excitedly, "Can it really be resolved?"

Erin glanced helplessly at Fregra and said, "Of course, those abominations that appeared in New York and those demons that appeared in Tokyo were all much more difficult to deal with than this."

As he spoke, Erin glanced at Fregrana's slightly thin body, then stroked his chin and said, "Your body seems a bit weak too. I'll have Kiris prepare an extra plan, and you can train with Lilith so you can spend more time with her."

"This world is getting more and more chaotic. Aliens, abominations, demons, all sorts of weird things are coming out. Who knows what other weird things will pop up next? It's never a bad thing to be physically stronger."
