Second Universe.

On the summit of Mount Giant Emperor in the original Demon Continent.

Looking at the lifeless Zuo Ge beside her, and Lilith being held in Zuo Ge's hand, her pale purple pupils suddenly contracted.

The next second, countless demonic flames carrying an aura of destruction erupted from Lilith's body, breaking through the power seal of the pink hairpin and sweeping towards the surrounding sky, attempting to incinerate everything.

Unfortunately... it didn't work...

Even though the endless demonic flames obscured the sky, forming a raging cloud of demonic fire, the deadly heat behind Lilith not only didn't disappear, but became even more terrifying.

It is clear that the person who attacked Zog has turned his attention to Lilith after Zog's death.

What horrified Lilith even more was that she discovered she... couldn't move at all, and couldn't even unlock the magic lock.

Just like Zuo Ge just now, they were caught in a strange time freeze.

They can only be manipulated and controlled by others.

Before Lilith could think any further, she suddenly felt that terrifying heat coming from behind her.

It felt like I was about to hit the back of my head any second...

At this moment, Lilith's ethereal physique, capable of withstanding all fatal damage, showed no reaction whatsoever. It was as if this intense heat... was merely a kind greeting, friendly and harmless...

But a premonition of death reminded Lilith that if this intense heat touched her body...

Then... certain death!

"Beep beep..."

Sensing the looming shadow of death, a flicker of confusion and relief crossed Lilith's eyes as she murmured something, seemingly bidding a final farewell.

Just as Lilith closed her eyes, preparing to use the Demon-Slaying Flame to ignite the Dark Emperor's Codex and perish together with the being behind her through its self-destruction, the deadly burning sensation that was about to touch her skin suddenly stopped and receded instantly.

Immediately afterwards, an aura that felt very familiar to Lilith appeared and rose from behind her like the sun, blocking all danger and breaking the strange time freeze that had imprisoned her.

This...this aura...

Lilith froze, involuntarily stopping her self-destruction and turning her head to look blankly.

At this moment, a tall and imposing figure was silently suspended in mid-air, as if...

I've always been here, I've never left...

In an instant, Lilith's pale purple eyes filled with tears, filled with grievance and pity.

"Bang, bang bang..."

Yes, that figure was a projection that Li Qingyu had created across the universe after using the Companion skill.

Unfortunately, since the companionship can only be activated when the user is in a silhouette form, this projection is also in a silhouette form.

Moreover, because its consciousness was intercepted by the second universe, this projection had no thoughts at all; it simply stood there like a background image, completely ignoring Lilith's calls.

However, unlike Li Qingyu's own back view, the back view in the accompanying state is not hunched, but rather tall and mighty, full of a sense of security.

at the same time.

Lilith also recovered from the shock of Baba's appearance and noticed the person who had just killed Zuo Ge, who was being blocked by Li Qingyu.

That was... a dog?

The dog's entire body was covered in black curly fur, and only its ears were visible on its face; its eyes and nose were completely obscured by the black fur.

If Li Qingyu were here, he would definitely recognize this thing.

This is clearly a giant black poodle...

For some reason, the giant teddy dog ​​did not attack after seeing Li Qingyu's projection. Instead, it retreated a distance and stood silently in confrontation with Li Qingyu's projection.

It seems this giant teddy bear is observing something...waiting for something...

However, Lilith only glanced at the beings opposite her before looking back at Baba's projection, and then leaped directly to the projection's side.

As for the already deceased Zog...

I don't know where it was blown away when Lilith's demonic flames erupted just now...

But just as Lilith was about to hug Baba's leg, trying to get a loving hug from him, she discovered...

Even after I got to Baba's side... all I could see when I looked up was Baba's back....

Furthermore, Baba didn't even bother to acknowledge him...

Somewhat skeptical, Lilith, with tears welling in her eyes, stretched her little head towards Baba and looked up at him.

But... it was still just a silhouette against the sky...

Lilith felt even more aggrieved, thinking that Baba didn't want to talk to her.

"Beep beep..."

Just as Lilith was feeling extremely wronged.

A warm, large hand pressed down on Lilith's head.

Lilith was startled, and then a warm feeling came from the large hand, which made Lilith forget all her troubles and close her eyes happily.

Warmth...is being passed on...

..............

The title "Funeral of Love" is too embarrassing... I've given it to you!

The birthmark is even more shameful... but they gave it to me too!! What, they can't give that many, only two at most? Fine, give me two then!!

The earth, the womb... nurtures the second child...

Sheep droppings... to help with digestion during a second pregnancy...

Energetic stickers... I can't believe they actually give out! Is it because they're a system reward, or because they're in Crimson's inventory...?

Okay, it doesn't matter, let's just consider it as speeding up the delivery of the second child!

Looking at the pile of talents and items he had given away through care, Li Qingyu nodded in satisfaction.

Great, everything went smoothly except for the birthing marks not being completely sent out.

However… Li Qingyu blinked, feeling like he was cleaning up trash, having not given his second child a single ability to enhance combat power…

This is not good; it needs to be changed...

Li Qingyu reflected on his actions.

The second child received so many magic cores, we can't treat them badly.

So, Li Qingyu stroked his chin and handed the Merlin legacy, which had automatically upgraded to the seventh level of Archmage, to his second child.

Anyway, because of this sneaky eating, the Slayer Spell inherited by Merlin only has one skill left. Even if it can crit, Li Qingyu doesn't lack that little bit of attack power at all, so he gave it to him!

Is that alright now...?

Hmm....

Well, since we've given them offensive capabilities, there's no reason why we shouldn't give them defensive capabilities, right?
