Chapter 1: Lilith Returns
The world has just experienced a catastrophe that has led to the near extinction of humanity, and the streets can be seen everywhere with poor souls like walking corpses wandering alone.
Heaven, the gods are confused about what happened to the world, they don't understand what makes the Demon King of Hell dissatisfied, and his obsession with revenge has not changed.
Ever since Belle married to hell, Ivy has been depressed and depressed every day when she returns to heaven. She stayed in her dormitory all day, not coming out to attend any of the events held by Heaven, and the gods almost forgot about her existence.
Gabriel, however, persistently insisted on visiting Ivy every day, always bringing beautiful flowers and funny jokes to amuse her. Ivy was unmoved, she just sat at the table and watched the man perform hard.
"Ivy, I'm leaving." Gabriel saw the absent-mindedness of the woman in front of him, and the words he originally wanted to hide in his heart were finally said with relief under the woman's indifferent expression, Gabriel didn't want to leave any regrets before he left heaven.
"......" Ivy was silent, and it took a while for her to react, because her ears inexplicably became no longer noisy: "Leave?" She looked at him suspiciously, just like the scene when they first met, frightened and unfamiliar.
"When there is trouble in the world, the father decided to send three angels down to the mortal world to find out the cause and calm the disaster." Gabriel replied truthfully.
"I'm going too!" Ivy didn't even think about rushing to answer.
"You know who started this earthly catastrophe, so Father will never let you go with us." The man seemed to be conveying his father's meaning, and said seriously looking at Ivy in front of him.
"I can erase all memory of that person." When Ivy said this, she had actually been thinking about it for a long time. Since Lucifer got married, the woman has spent nearly 400 years of lonely time in heaven, but some memories will not be forgotten by the passage of time, on the contrary, her heart will overflow again, which is too painful for Ivy to be together but to keep the time with that person forever. That's why Ivy decided to delete all memories and start over.
“…… You know, if Heaven were to delete a memory, it would clean up all the causes and consequences of that memory. That is, you will also forget about me...... Forget all the gods in heaven who have a relationship with you, and you will be like a poor soul who has just stepped into heaven and is ready to be saved......" Gabriel had a certain selfishness towards Ivy, and he was very sad to explain to her that he hoped that a woman would give up such an idea.
"So that I can get to know you all over again." Ivy smiled at the man's selfish eyes, yes, it is really a good choice to get to know all of you again, so that Ivy will not meet Gabriel on the altar again, and Gabriel will not willfully bring her back to heaven...... She will not go through a series of events and then meet the unruly demon king of hell.
Eventually, Gabriel had not persuaded Ivy to take her to her father's palace for help. Ivy still vividly remembers the first time she saw her father, when she was in a hurry to stop the rebellion of the Demon King of Hell, and came to her father's garden to wait for him to come out, and now she was also nervous.
"Disturb you, my most noble Father, and I am sorry for our surprise visit." Gabriel humbly knelt before his father, bowing his head and praying earnestly for forgiveness.
Ivy stood silently beside Gabriel, her nervousness so strong that she had completely forgotten the rules of the three Heavenly Archangels.
"My child, what the hell is going on?" The father looked kindly at Gabriel, who was kneeling in front of him, and he raised him with his hands in a friendly way. This is the minimum mutual respect between the gods.
“…… Actually... Ivy, she wants to remove everything about ...... of memory. Gabriel did not say the name that was forbidden in heaven, but the wise and transcendent Father saw it all in his timid eyes. After listening to Gabriel's request, the father moved his gaze to Ivy, who had been silent and nervous beside his son, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"Ivy, are you sure you want to do this? Erase the memories and forget all our gods, and the incredible past you have experienced. The father reaffirmed Ivy's thoughts, because once the woman decided, all memories dissipated.
“…… Yes. Ivy paused, she came back to her senses to suppress her fear to the bottom of her heart, and then spoke to her father with courage.
The beautiful garden, the tender yellow leaves flying all over the sky, the three people stood on the grouper path, just looking at each other, and no one spoke first to stop them. Ivy lay on a marble surface under her father's guidance, and the coldness of the stone spread first to the woman's back and then to her body, forcing Ivy to stay awake at all times. After a while, her body shivered involuntarily, and Ivy never expected that deleting her memories would be so painful.
"The more you shiver, the faster the amnestics will explode until your body warms up again in the midst of trembling, and your memories will cease to exist." Father explained as he watched Ivy lying on the marble.
The cold eroded Ivy's weak body, and she didn't cry out in pain for it, but endured it in silence. Before she knew it, Ivy was frozen and lost her last of consciousness and passed out on the marble bed. Gabriel looked at the woman lying motionless on the marble with distress, everything will be fine, even if you have forgotten us, forgotten all of us...... The man had a relieved expression on his face when he thought of this, but his eyebrows were vaguely furrowed.
"Don't worry, kid, she'll get through it. Let her lie down and rest, and let's go sit in the garden. The father comforted his restless son, and put his hand around Gabriel's trembling shoulders from behind, and the two men walked out of the garden.
Ivy lay quietly on the marble floor, her memories of the past blurring until at last there was no more picture in front of her eyes, and the memories were displayed in front of her like a transparent white paper. When she got this result, she smiled with satisfaction and fell asleep with peace of mind, indeed she had dragged the person she missed for long enough.
The man with blue eyes as bright as jewels appeared in front of Ivy unconsciously, his head held high, and he stared contemptuously at the unarmed and sleepy woman in front of him in his noble white robes.
"Who do you think you are, you think it can be over? Filthy bloodlines are destined to be unacceptable to Heaven, and since you have lost your memory, I will do one more thing for you...... The owner of Purgatory hasn't been home for a long time, and today is the time for her to return to her hometown. The man said resentfully, placing his right hand full of divine power on the woman's forehead, and whispering a spell in his mouth......
Suddenly, a dazzling bright light emanated from Ivy's forehead, and the man in the white robe couldn't resist such a bright light, so he subconsciously stretched out his other hand to cover it in front of him, but the right hand had no intention of moving away from Ivy, it seemed that the man in the robe was determined to send Ivy back to purgatory!
As the strong light disappeared, Ivy's body gradually became transparent, and after a while, her whole body also dissipated from the marble, and the only proof of her existence was the woman's tenacious struggle on the marble and the sweat, the man in the holy robe saw that his wish had been granted, his nervous face slowly turned back to normal, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly at the same time. The man regained his arrogant expression, then straightened up the collar that had been accidentally crumpled by the spell he had just cast, and then quietly left the place.
When Ivy woke up from her dream, her body felt unusually cold. She sat up from the ground in confusion and looked around vigilantly at the pitch-black surroundings, which were both familiar and unfamiliar. At this moment, a faint light came from a distance and was drifting towards the woman, and Ivy did not feel the slightest fear.
Then, as the light approached, the light became brighter. Ivy saw the boy who was walking with the lantern clearly, they looked at each other without saying a word, the boy helped Ivy who was sitting on the ground up, and then consciously took half a step back, bent down lightly and said, "Welcome home, Lord Lilith." ”
