When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 131.1

“You’re still pathetic.”

It was the voice of Goddess Julias.

Lilith hated the dreadful voice that often echoed when she was alone in the prayer room. She couldn’t leave, she wasn’t allowed to until the goddess finished speaking.

“Yes.”

“Kneel.”

“Yes.”

Lilith sighed at the goddess’s command and kneeled.

“How many lives has it been now?”

“……”

“You want to die, don’t you?”

Such mockery was nothing but laughable. The fact that a God, still unable to control the rage built up over the years, continued to torment her was absurd.

“This life will be the last.”

“……”

“All you need to do is die as I’ve planned.”

“Will someone try to interfere with the plan again?”

“You’ll find out.”

Lilith knew that Anais was despised by Goddess Julias. Julias was the goddess of order, possessing the greatest powers, and she hated anyone who defied the fate she had set. Anais was one of those who opposed the fate she created, and Julias could not tolerate it.

There had been others in the past, those who defied fate. They had died in miserable ways, their souls obliterated by the goddess as a lesson to others.

“You shouldn’t destroy souls so easily. Creating new ones is no easy task.”

“There’s no need for new ones. There are already enough.”

“……”

“You just do as you’re told. This is your last chance.”

Lilith was truly exhausted now. If this was indeed her last life, once she died, she would embrace eternal rest, ensuring that her soul wouldn’t be absorbed by the god of death.

“Am I to be sealed away?”

“Isn’t that what you wanted?”

If her soul were absorbed by the god of death, the power would return to the original god of chaos, which is likely why it was happening.

Lilith nodded, thinking this over.

“Then do your best.”

With that, the voice disappeared, and Lilith received the task she was meant to fulfill within the fate set by the goddess. Only then did she realize.

“I told you before, didn’t I? That you’re Kylian’s destined person.”

Anais was someone who also knew the fate planned by Goddess Julias.

And that Lilith was truly the woman destined for Kylian.

“Please, help me.”

Though Lilith knew the fate she was meant to fulfill, she did not want to follow the goddess’s will. That’s why she had been acting half-heartedly. But Goddess Julias was not someone who would simply let her be.

“Did Tower Master Lionel call for me?”

It wasn’t the first time Lilith had been summoned to the Magic Tower. She glanced around the familiar room of the tower master and then looked back at him.

“Yes, please lend the Saintess’s power for my experiment.”

“I don’t want to.”

Lilith knew that Goddess Julias was threatening Anais to fulfill her will. There were often people around Anais whose eyes would change color strangely. This was a phenomenon caused by the goddess’s power temporarily overlaying another soul on them.

“I heard the voice of the World Tree. If you help me, we can make the World Tree even bigger.”

“Then it would be good for the wizards.”

“It would also be good for the Empire.”

At that moment, Lilith heard the voice of Goddess Julias in her ear.

“If you don’t obey, I’ll kill this child. Right in front of you.”

Hearing these words, Lilith realized there was nothing she could do. Tired of struggling, she resignedly replied.

“…I understand.”

“Clench your hand, then open it.”

Lilith did as instructed, clenching and opening her hand. A small holy relic appeared.

“Give it to the child’s guardian knight.”

“Instead, please give this to Sir Alucard, Lady Anais’s guard knight.”

“This is a holy relic. Why…?”

“Just do as I say.”

Tower Master Lionel, seemed flustered. But Lilith ignored him, knowing she didn’t need to please anyone other than Anais.

Originally, the war was supposed to take two years, but one night, Anais Percival led her army and beheaded the enemy general, ending the war in just a month.

Though she had earned great military achievements, while retreating from Denver Bridge, Anais was ambushed by Alucard, who was aiming for her. The bridge exploded, and she was seriously injured.

Despite the best priests surrounding her, something seemed to hinder her healing, and the treatment wasn’t progressing well.

Coincidentally, the delegation consisting of High Priest Raviel and high-ranking priests was away on a mission due to a prophecy from Goddess Julias, leaving only mid-ranking priests and those beneath them.
