Lilith Strikes

Ye Chuan gazed into the deepest part of the sky, where the gray mist had thickened almost to the point of solidification. Countless eyes opened behind the clouds, like a rotting sea of stars hanging above the mortal world.

The sky was bending under the pressure.

Layer by layer, the clouds collapsed, and gray-white mist cascaded down through the cracks in the shattered night.

The Superhuman Alliance’s alarms blared across every major city—

“Alert!”

“Alert! Do not look at the sky!”

“Do not look at the sky! Do not make contact with anyone who has turned into a monster!”

Many superhumans rushed into the streets, trying to disperse the gray mist with their aura. But the moment they looked up, vertical eyes split open on their foreheads.

One superhuman froze in place.

In the next instant, his bones burst through his skin, his arms transformed into gray-white giant claws, and he turned around to smash the armored vehicle beside him.

When ordinary people mutated, they became mere monsters.

But when superhumans mutated, they transformed into war beasts wearing the broken shells of human forms, tearing through city block defenses with ease.

Those monsters crawled out of the smoke and dust. Severed limbs regrew, and more eyes opened in the cracks of their wounds.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Myriad Realms Apartment.

Lan Xiaoke was sitting on the couch, clutching a bag of chips. She hadn’t even finished chewing when the night outside the window suddenly turned gray.

Huh?

It got dark so fast today.

She looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window—

The next second, her whole body froze.

The night sky was packed with eyes, each one hiding behind the gray mist, as if they were staring at her through the glass.

So disgusting?!

What is this?!

The sky is covered in eyes?!

“Li-Lilith… Lilith! Quick, look!”

Lan Xiaoke let out a sharp shriek, scrambling and crawling over to Lilith’s side. “Waaah! Help! So gross!”

“Something really weird is growing outside.”

Ye Yue, at this moment, looked out the window. Strangely, the power of the Outer Gods had no effect on her. In fact, her aura began to strengthen under its influence.

“This…”

“Why is this happening?” Ye Yue could feel that this very power was the one that had turned her into what she now was.

Hearing Lan Xiaoke’s scream, Lilith glanced down at the whimpering white-haired girl clutching her leg. She looked a little exasperated but still walked over to the window and took a look. Her twin tails hung quietly by her shoulders, and her delicate, pale face was nearly translucent in the gray light.

She raised her blue-violet eyes and frowned.

“So, this day has finally come. Just as the prophecy foretold.”

“Lilith, are these things coming for Ye Chuan?” Lan Xiaoke asked curiously.

Lilith didn’t answer. Instead, she reached out and pushed open the balcony door. The gray mist tried to surge into the room but was immediately blocked by a layer of blue-violet starlight. As soon as the mist touched it, it began to sizzle, unable to advance even an inch.

Lilith stepped out, and her figure vanished from the balcony in an instant.

The next moment, she was already midair, her twin tails whipped by the high-altitude wind, her skirt swaying gently.

“You things from the void.”

Lilith raised her head to face the sky full of eyes, and a blue-violet magical array unfolded silently beneath her feet. “You’ve been hiding for so long, and now you’ve finally found this place?”

The eyes in the sky seemed to sense her.

Countless pupils rotated in unison, their icy gazes converging on the twin-tail girl.

But Lilith merely raised an eyebrow. Ancient star patterns flickered in her blue-violet irises.

“Oh? Looking at me?”

“You’re not even qualified to comprehend me.”

With that, she raised her right hand and gently clenched her five fingers toward the sky. “Origin Magic—”

A blue-violet magical array instantly expanded from the rooftop to cover the entire city.

A second, third, and fourth layer of magic arrays lit up in succession.

They nested within each other, like countless precise star tracks blanketing the surface of Blue Star.

“Arch-level—”

Lilith spoke calmly, yet her voice carried clearly across the entire planet.

“Stellar Dome Sealing Barrier.”

A blue-violet radiance rose from her feet, passed through cities, oceans, mountains, and clouds, and finally expanded into a massive star ring beyond the atmosphere. The barrier was clean and transparent, like crystal, forcefully blocking the vast gray-white mist that was cascading down from beyond the heavens.

Blue Star trembled.

Many who had not yet fully mutated collapsed in pain. Their transformations halted temporarily, and the eyeballs under their skin slowly closed one by one.

But those who had already turned into monsters did not recover. It was as if they had received a higher-order command. They looked up simultaneously and let out hoarse roars at the star barrier.

In the cities, mutated superhumans began to frantically ram into the blue-violet light pillars, trying to break the barrier and attack the magical nodes sustaining it.

On the ocean, thousands of gray-white tentacles rose from the contaminated zones, lashing at the sky like giant serpents.

The tentacles slammed into the barrier, and the blue-violet starlight trembled. But it had little effect, after all, Lilith’s magical power was absolute—no ordinary monster could contend with it.

Lilith’s petite form was wrapped in blue-violet radiance. She floated calmly in midair, sensing the presence outside the barrier—

“Troublesome.”

Suddenly, she looked toward the distant island.

“Ye Chuan, these things… are just the appetizers. Don’t you screw up.”

What she had always warned Ye Chuan about was exactly this: the Outer Gods from the void. They had destroyed countless space-time nodes. If all those nodes disappeared, then every continent, including the Aiser Continent, would cease to exist, forever becoming a den for the Outer Gods.

Beyond the barrier, that vast shadow was growing clearer!

It had not yet fully entered Blue Star, but its presence had already bent half the sky.

At that moment, Lilith narrowed her eyes. Her twin tails lifted slightly in the gale.

A cold, almost emotionless expression crossed her face for the first time.

“In such a hurry to get in?”

She lightly tapped the space around her, and thousands upon thousands of magical arrays surged into existence, interlocking like precise gears.

“Root Fluctuation—”

Blue-violet star tracks shot into the sky in an instant, converging into a beam of light that blasted toward the indescribably colossal entity!

The beam pierced through space, racing straight into the sky.

A loud boom echoed through space. The gray sky seemed to light up for a moment, and the faint roar of some monster could be heard. The entire planet shook violently, and the gray mist was forced back tens of thousands of miles.

But the eyes in other areas quickly filled the gaps—endlessly.

They had no limit. When one batch closed, even more opened, as if beyond the world lay an ocean made entirely of eyes.

Lilith watched this scene, thinking to herself.

“The numbers aren’t right.”

“This isn’t just one Outer God watching.”

“It’s a swarm of void beings, all looking this way through the space-time coordinates.”

“If this keeps up, this world is probably doomed.”

Lilith’s current power had not yet fully recovered. In her prime, handling this situation would have been no problem. But now, she was still far too weak.

She couldn’t even maintain her original form and was forced to rely on this loli appearance in an energy-saving mode.
