As she said this, Lilith's expression turned somewhat sorrowful.

Su Deng remained silent for a long time. "But you've gone through so many loops, and you still haven't found a way to crack the code and win, have you?"

Lilith said, "The Witch Castle doesn't care about humans. Since its establishment, it has never done anything evil. In fact, to avoid humans, it was built deep in the Dark Forest and has set up so many magical traps."

The Witch's Castle is isolated from the world and never does evil.

"But those angels thought they were shrouded in holy light, and said that witches were evil and that they should purify the world and protect mankind. Purifying and annihilating the witch city became their goal."

"But the demons are there too, why don't they go and purify them? Is it because they don't want to? No! They're afraid! They can't win!"

Lilith took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

“Kasha is someone I raised, and she will be the next ruler of the Witch Castle. Perhaps I was too strict with her when she was young, because as she grew up she began to covet the world outside the Witch Castle, and even ran away several times, and fell in love with a human…”

But that human was just lying to her; he wanted to use her to enter the witch's castle.

Three or four times.

At first, Lilith turned a blind eye because of Kasha's pleas.

"But he's trying to hurt you, to lure you to the demon realm!"

Witches cannot shed tears or fall in love; once they do, they will permanently lose their magic.

Lilith looked down at Su Deng, her expression cold. "Because of your love, a breach appeared in Witch City, allowing the demons and Angel City to take advantage of the situation. The entire Witch City fought with all its might, and only then did I reach an agreement with the Holy Angel for a seven-day war..."

Therefore, Angel City was determined not to let Witch City survive for seven days.

For this reason, those angels even secretly cooperated with the demons.

"The witch's origins may be shameful, but the Witch City is innocent. I will protect this city for Gia, and protect all the witches within it!"

Lilith said in a deep voice, "For this, I am willing to pay any price!"

But she would never go down the old path and make a pact with the devil.

"I used all my magic to reverse time. In these five attempts so far, although I failed each time, the Witch's Castle has survived a little longer each time!"

"So you keep reversing the cycle, relying on this to prolong it, in order to protect the Witch's City?" Su Deng's gaze was calm.

Lilith: "I'll try anything to protect the Witch's Castle."

Su Deng: "Is the most effective way you've found to prevent the Witch City from leaving the seven-day war agreement?"

“The first time I could extend it by one night, the second time by one day…” Lilith said, “As long as I can hold on, there will be a time when I will successfully hold on for seven days!”

“But what if we fail?” Su Deng pursed her lips. “What if we fail once, twice, ten times, a hundred times, a million times? Do you want to trap yourself and the entire Witch City in these seven days forever, endlessly cycling through the same cycle?”

Lilith paused, then her aura turned cold. "So what!"

"Those witches sacrificed themselves time and time again, and you watched them die one after another. Do you think that what you're trapping is them and the witch's castle, or yourself?"

"What does it matter if I'm trapped here, as long as I can defend the Witch's Castle!"

"If I'm not mistaken, each reversal is a result of your own energy being expended. If you keep relying on this cycle, how long do you think you can last?"

Each time she tries again, the golden light on Lilith fades a little.

In a few more years, it will fade into obscurity forever.

“So,” Lilith’s gaze sharpened, her aura oppressive, “I want you to kill that demon!”

Su Deng frowned. "Would killing him save Witch City?"

Lilith: "Kill him, and the demon race will be defeated!"

...This dungeon, with the witch faction, is really difficult to deal with.

Now that he understood everything, Su Deng realized that he had initially underestimated the difficulty of this dungeon. Judging from the current situation, the other three factions could be considered to have a sure win.

Only the Witch's Castle...

It truly lives up to its ten-star difficulty rating.

But we've already made the choice, and we've come this far, so we have to make things work, even if it's difficult.

We must win.

……Headache.

Su Deng looked at Lilith and licked her slightly dry lips. "I will find a way to protect the Witch City with you."

“No matter who you are, you’re just Kasha here,” Lily said.

Kasha lost all her magic because she fell in love and shed tears.

Even though Lilith was angry, she couldn't really do anything to the girl she had raised since childhood and treated like a daughter. All she could do was put her in solitary confinement and let her reflect on her actions.

They caught the despicable man who deceived her, put him through a castration trial, and avenged her.

After understanding this, Su Deng asked her with mixed feelings, "Aren't you curious about who I really am?"

Lilith said, "To me, you are my Kasha."

Su Deng remained silent.

“Gia was treated as a demon by humans, nailed to a cross, and burned alive. After the Witch Castle was established, she created the punishment of the Cross Trial, which is not a useless thing for any man who tries to break into the Witch Castle.”

Lilith explained this.

"Actually, you're only half right. I can indeed reverse time, but the fact that the destroyed Witch's Castle could be rebuilt again and again over these seven days isn't entirely due to my power..."

Lilith's emotions had returned to normal, her golden attire exuding a holy and noble aura. "The other half, the other half of the power that helps me turn the tide time and time again, I don't even know where it comes from. Without that power, I might not have been able to successfully turn the tide..."
