Chapter 589
"In the current situation, Zeke Draker is the only being who fulfills the conditions as a vessel for the Demon King."
"It's insufficient to simply call Zeke Draker bait. He is one who defies fate, the only variable capable of breaking the wheel."
"Not only Arthur Draker, but the celestial constellations will have to focus on Zeke Draker, who will become the Demon King's only physical vessel. We will break this endless cycle of evil by targeting the moment when the Demon King descends into his body."
She knew how Zeke had strived to become stronger in his past life and how much despair and pain he had lived through.
As Nigel and Nabu showed hostility, the leader raised his hand, causing karmic backlash in their bodies.
"If they'll interfere with the crack that will break fate's wheel, it's better to eliminate them now. This is a carefully planned arrangement that took a very long time."
He continued while rotating his prayer beads, "I sense a being with strong hostility approaching here rapidly."
"We must prepare the castle before they arrive. With the High Table reduced, there's much to do. Help me."
"I'll follow for now given the urgent situation. But if I see any sign of you trying to use Zeke..."
Zeke, who had gained forced execution rights over soul entities by releasing her seal, wore a relaxed expression.
Lilith, who had planned to seduce and absorb Zeke's soul after learning he was the successor of the arrogant savior, shook her head with a pitiful expression.
While many beings in the demon realm could control or seduce targets, most forcefully affected the mind.
Many constellations overlooked Lilith's brazen evil deeds and fell deeper for her despite knowing better.
Though he too fell for her enough to accept her as his companion, his mind was strong enough to make the final decision when he saw her evil and greed worsen.
"The Arrogant Savior's memories weren't complete, so I was unsure. I felt something was there, but I had to confirm it to know."
Zeke had deliberately fallen into her trap to recover the Arrogant Savior's memories and divinity through Lilith.
When Lilith absorbed Zeke's power, he used the system to forcibly connect to her seal and interpret her soul entity.
"I had intended to use you as my subordinate. However, after seeing the numerous things you ruined in the arrogant savior's memories, I realized that wouldn't be possible."
"Please trust me! I will be completely loyal to you great lord! I'll do anything you desire, please!"
As Lilith was absorbed into the shadows, Zeke felt the divinity of the arrogant savior that had dwelled within her body transfer back to him.
Having absorbed even the power Lilith originally possessed, Zeke's understanding of the arrogant savior's power increased.
[Due to the high rank of the submitted shadow spirit, it transcends the limitations of shadow spirits.]
While Lilith had been an evil being, it was true that she had a soul strong enough to receive divinity, which is why she became a shadow guardian like Caligula.
[I have become a completely new being belonging to the great lord. As a guardian, I will be wholly loyal to you.]
Surprisingly, when he opened the door and went out, all the employees of this castle were gathered, waiting for Zeke with their heads bowed.
As Zeke had expected, not only Shamos but all the employees in this castle were followers of the arrogant savior.
Having been freed from their covenant with Lilith through recent events, they had gathered to pledge loyalty to Zeke who had saved them.
They prostrated themselves toward Zeke's feet as he walked down the corridor, pledging their loyalty.
