483 Chapter 483: Hostile (4)

Perseus POV

I've spent 6 hours already, and these guys' will are like a rock, it's going to crumble soon enough, but I'm tired as well, I haven't got proper time to rest in a while due to my now busy schedule to rush the war even more.

Why do gods have to take their oaths seriously? Lilith will have to become mortal before giving birth, let's say...2 months before the birth date if we don't want to risk any harm to the baby since the process is quite painful to Lilith when it happens...we could technically go around it by transferring the kid itself to Dawn since she has not sworn that thing, but Lilith said that to keep it as a last option for now.

We need Lilith's ability and battle prowess if the war against God goes wrong, Saber and his hatred for Lilith still also hasn't been technically resolved either, so...until all of that is resolved, I'd rather not have her become mortal just yet, and I need this whole war thing to end in 7 months time.

In a way, it is going faster than expected due to all of them teaming up against us, so that's good, some don't even believe that Lilith is pregnant because the goddess would have too much pride to be a part of a harem instead of the one having it, which...is a very fair assumption.

"Look man, let's just agree to disagree, what if you come over to Bridget over there temporarily and I'll spare Pike where you can return to him after the war." I said as I used my powers to persuade the stupidly strong yellow rose.

"I'm...not gonna..." he responded with a dazed expression

"Come on man, if this goes on, you're going to be forcefully transferred without your consent and I won't spare Pike cuz the guy really hates demons, which will interfere with any possible coexistence."

"Think about it. Imagine the weight lifted from your shoulders, the freedom to be who you want to be. This is your chance to rewrite your destiny, to break free from the chains that have bound you for so long." I said, "The roses would no longer have to repeat this cycle of transferring from one person to another for centuries.

"Look around you, don't you want this to end...This constant struggle, this endless fight between our kind, it has to end. We're not so different, you and I. We share this world, and there's no reason why demons and humans can't coexist in harmony. You've been trapped in this cycle of battles, forced to fight against your will. But imagine a world where demons and humans live side by side, where differences are celebrated, not feared. Don't you want to be free?"

"Free...?" he muttered while in the daze

"No more fighting, no more bloodshed. We can find a way for demons and humans to coexist peacefully. It's time to free you from the shackles of this endless conflict and let you embrace your true purpose. You've fought for so long, but it's time to let go. Let go of the burden, the duty that has weighed you down. Join us, and only then will you find your freedom."

"Yes, I'd like that."

"So, are you saying that you are willing to have yourself transferred?"

"Yes..."

"Would you mind if I kill your partner over there...?"

"Please...spare him...and take me instead."

"Good." I then turned to Tanner, "You do the transferring process, I'm too lazy to wait for y'all to finish, and as promised, you'll join me, and in return, I'll help y'all ascend to the throne."

*****

We got home and left Tanner and Bridget to do their job and transfer the power of the yellow rose toward our side.

"Perseus?" Mom Nyra creepily greeted me as soon as I got home.

"Yeah, yeah, but give it up, your knives have no effect on me, I'm...too...strong, why are you holding an axe? I can tell that it won't be effective, so you might want to switch weapons."

"I see, thank you, next time that you don't tell me that you impregnated a girl, tell us, okay?" she said as stored her axe away

"Well, no one would check their pregnancy right after fertilization, and even if it turns out positive, there are still chances of miscarriages and other things." Mom Rylee chimed in

"Oh, don't worry, they are weird divine beings, miscarriages are impossible, and they can sense their own pregnancy from the moment of fertilization, quite scary actually."

"Do we know the gender or whether it's twins or triplets?"

"Not yet, but you shouldn't worry too much...but do watch over Lilith when she's home, we don't want her accidentally drinking or anything. Even if her body will filter out the toxins and have no harm to the baby, we can't let her get used to it because she'll become mortal soon, don't want her to repeat such actions if we decide to have another one."

I then head to think of my next course of action, at this point, I'm just playing the waiting game, I'm lucky that I'm not mandated to be stationed at the tree and is able to sleep in a somewhat comfortable space...but this isn't it.

This war is making me anxious, in a way, since my skills are more effective when people are all gathered at a single point, it's easier for me, the problem is matter how strong I am, I can't beat all the heroes and demon lord at the same time.

Maybe self-destruct and take them all down with me if I play my cards right, but...I rather live to see everything through. For now, I guess I can just focus on eliminating Cain, I need my revenge, and once he's over and done with, I will feel like my burden has been lifted.

I've been waiting for a such a moment and now I got him stuck in a spacial dimension where he can't escape, but not for long, because Envy is still a god. Lilith or Dawn can handle him...and I'll handle the nuisance that has been haunting my mind all of this time.
