Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Even the distant demons behaved this way, so Lilith, facing Matthew's unleashed Conqueror's Haki, couldn't help but restrain her previous frivolous attitude.

They became more upright.

She might be able to withstand that Conqueror's Haki, but the word "war," coupled with Matthew's tough attitude, made it impossible for her to continue being frivolous.

Lilith immediately realized that she was no longer facing the next guardian of Earth who had not yet fully matured.

Rather, it is a powerful being who may be at the same level as oneself in terms of dimensions.

Lilith cannot accept a war that offers no benefit.

So Lilith spoke, her expression very serious.

“I am her grandmother, and I have never intended to harm my children and descendants. Each and every one of them is my precious treasure, Empress of Terra.”

Lilith's words were very solemn; she didn't even mention the Earth Guardians, but rather the Terra Emperor.

It is clear that Lilith has always been concerned about Earth.

They also know more about what has happened on Earth in recent days.

Lilith knew that Matthew was not only the guardian of Earth, but also the emperor of a kingdom with a powerful army.

Unlike the weak armies of humans, this is an army in the truest sense.

An army capable of fighting alongside its own Lilin.

Dialogues and negotiations between leaders must be solemn and serious.

Otherwise, it could easily start a war, and she could not accept the consequences.

Matthew narrowed his eyes at Lilith's explanation. His Observation Haki was fully activated, and he could sense the sincerity in Lilith's words.

But Matthew remained skeptical.

Lies and deception are the means by which evil people survive.

He never doubted that there were demons who could conceal their lies and emotions; demons were experts at manipulating emotions.

Especially ancient demons like Lilith.

"continue!"

Matthew responded coldly.

His attitude did not soften; he remained restrained and dangerously calm.

“She has unimaginable potential; the concentration of her bloodline surpasses that of any of my offspring, any one of them.” Lilith’s attitude did not change because of Matthew’s attitude; instead, she remained sincere.

Although we are far apart, I can tell from her eyes, her expression and her tone of voice.

Matthew's expression remained completely unchanged.

Does Matthew know about what Lilith is talking about?

He knew that, given his current height, he could clearly perceive and "see" the extraordinary potential hidden within Carrie's body.

Matthew took Carrie in and insisted that she go to school, using friendship and human emotion to heal the scars in her heart, and it was precisely because of this that he saw this.

But Lilith doesn't seem to think so.

“You are being too protective of her. She is destined to be the Demon Lord, a natural leader, and will be the next Queen of Hell after me. She should not be bound by so-called emotions.”

"So that's why you used those methods to try and activate her bloodline in your way?"

Matthew dismissed it with disdain.

His pupils glowed red, and an overwhelming aura of dominance surged with his voice.

"She is human, not a demon. She needs her own will and doesn't need anyone to guide or arrange things for her."

"The first sixteen years of her life were filled with pain and made her never happy. She shouldn't have gone down that path because of anyone's so-called 'for your own good,' Lilith."

Chapter 239 The Difference Between Mutation and Orthodox Cultivation for Strengthening (Second Update)

Matthew could tell that Lilith truly meant Carrie no harm.

On the contrary, she genuinely hoped that Carrie would follow the path she had laid out for her, thereby taking over Lilith's power and becoming the next Queen of Hell.

Lilith is different from the other demons.

They are extremely cruel and ruthless towards humans and other demons besides themselves.

But there is no doubt that he is sincere towards the offspring he has conceived.

Emotions are the source of her strength, and it is also because of this that Lilith possesses a bug-level ability similar to the "many children, many blessings" system.

The more outstanding and powerful her offspring are, the stronger she will become.

Carrie is the most outstanding and has extraordinary potential among those who inherited Lilith's demonic bloodline.

Lilith naturally hopes that Carrie can activate her bloodline and become stronger as soon as possible.

But Matthew didn't want to use such a brutal method.

Because this instability factor is too great.

This is what distinguishes the Marvel Universe from orthodox cultivation.

Most of them suddenly gain extremely powerful abilities through mutation and awakening, or by injecting serum in some way, or by activating their bloodlines, etc.

However, what is the price for a fragile mortal to suddenly possess world-destroying power?

It's highly likely that his mindset has completely become unbalanced.

If negative emotions are buried and suppressed due to unpleasant childhood experiences, unsatisfactory life, or other factors, then the probability of this imbalance will increase infinitely.

Not everyone has the mindset of Steve Rogers.

More people will become Red Skull, Hydra's super soldiers frozen in ice and injected with serum.

Ambition and desire will be amplified infinitely.

Emotions can be infinitely compressed, eventually turning one into a beast that disregards life and only cares about its own interests.

Carrie was the same.

Carrie was born with extraordinary power, a limit she had from her very infancy; she was a natural-born superhuman.

She was a born witch.

If Carrie hadn't been kind by nature, then she would have been subjected to brutal and oppressive abuse during her childhood by her extremely brainwashed mother.

The final result will be that she becomes a child witch.

To put it bluntly, it's a youth version of gender-swapped Homelander.

Bullying?

He could turn into a monster and slaughter the entire area in no time, or he might become the Joker or Jigsaw.

Carrie's core values ​​are kindness and tolerance.

However, he did not possess the same unwavering will and conviction as Steve Rogers.

She is still just a child and is easily influenced by all sorts of things.

Kindness has a threshold; once that threshold is exceeded, the power it unleashes is extremely terrifying.

Why did Lilith possess Carrie's mother's body in the first place, so that she could witness the slaughter of innocents and repeatedly fight against them in an attempt to save them, but failed time and time again?

The hope was to use this sense of powerlessness and despair as fuel to awaken her inner spirit.

The extreme depravity from good to evil is also a terrifying force.

For example, the village of San Van González, which Mephisto personally oversaw.

Believers with unwavering faith in God possess immense power after their fall, a power that even Mephisto would value.

Lilith is ultimately a demon.

Her worldview and understanding are based on the perspective of the devil.

What is kindness?

In hell, they'd be a joke, only to be devoured alive by other demons, suffering a miserable end.

Demons are evil, they crave immense power, and they will stop at nothing to obtain that power.

That's how you survive in hell.

It would be really good if Matthew weren't in it.

After all, if things really went according to the original timeline, Carrie would eventually activate her bloodline and slaughter that area.

Human civilization cannot tolerate Carrie, and even Kamar-Taj will not let Carrie go.

The options are either imprisonment, expulsion, or death; there are no other choices.

However, Matthew's appearance changed Carrie's fate.

Matthew, this outcast, gives Carrie a completely new choice, a choice that is better and brighter.

We will not let Carrie lose her self-awareness, nor will we erase her kind nature.

To have one's own personality.

Which one will Carrie choose?

There is no doubt that this will not be the path arranged by Lilith.

Ultimately, this is a conflict between Lilith and Matthew, two completely different ideologies.

This was the first point Matthew made with Lilith.

The same is true today.

Their attitude hasn't changed at all.

A fierce glint flashed in Lilith's eyes, but when she met Matthew's resolute gaze, she returned to her calm.

For a moment, only silence remained.

As for Mephisto, he was enjoying the show, leisurely crossing his arms, glancing left at Matthew and right at Lilith.

I almost grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.

"The next Queen of Hell? Lilith's human descendant, tsk, is it that girl named Carrie?"

Mephisto ate the melon while pondering the matter.

Matthew seems to really value that girl.

It seems there's something we can do about this.

Of course, Mephisto had no ill intentions. You see, that human girl named Carrie was not only valued by Matthew, but also Lilith's most cherished offspring.

She even plans to groom her to be the next Queen of Hell.

If Mephisto makes any small move, he'll most likely be ganged up on by Lilith and Matthew.

On the contrary, it would be better to show goodwill to Carrie and gain the goodwill of both sides.

That's a huge profit margin.

Makes a killing!

And so Mephisto spoke.

"Perhaps this is not a contradiction."

His words drew the attention of Matthew and Lilith.

Mephisto met the gazes of the human and the demon without changing his expression, and looked at Lilith: "You wish for powerful descendants."

After saying that, he looked at Matthew.

"You want her to stay true to herself."

"So it's obviously just a matter of time."

Mephisto's words seemed a bit convoluted, but both Matthew and Lilith were extremely astute and understood the meaning behind them.
