Empress' Evolution

Lilith watched as the Brick Bears, Werewolves, and the Ogres assist one another in bringing out the carcass of the Orochi and another daemon they killed inside the dungeon.

The Praeries were preparing food together with the Persians, and the Dwarves were talking to Chief about something. The Harpies were going about their patrol, and Eve, one of the few Ogres in the [Shadow Troop], collected information about the surrounding area.

Lilith was seated atop a nearby boulder as she observed the embedded HNP she had in her system. The HNP was the Hunters' phones. It connected to their database; however, because Lilith only had a B+ Rank hunter access, she couldn't quite get enough information about most things.

'This is far easier when I still ruled over the Green Venom.'

The Green Venom, a name that shook even the hearts of the Sector Leaders, the Hunter Association President, and a Government Head. The Green Venom had multiple people under it, she was pretty much in control of half of a Stronghold, but because of this fact, everyone felt threatened by her and tried to kill her as soon as possible.

The ending was simple, Lilith was killed, and she became a Daemon tasked with conquering the Universe. Well, not so much as the Universe but close enough.

She was on the right track of doing things, but someone did something and tried to kill her with the entire island.

'Dammit, those bastards really had to destroy my base of operations!? GODDAMN THEM!' Lilith was pretty pissed at the current situation. She was trembling from anger, and as she did so, Luna appeared by her side.

"Boss head, do you want some?" She offered Lilith the food prepared by [The Workers] tasked with feeding the entire village. Lilith accepted the food.

She then returned at glaring at the system. Luna knew that every time Lilith did such a thing, their beloved Priestess was thinking of something for everyone. It was important for them to realize that fact.

'The Boss Head is doing their best again…' Luna thought as she remained by Lilith's side. She was someone everyone considers the secretary; thus, it was her job to answer Lilith's calls and demands. Staying by her side was a must.

Lilith, in their eyes, was but a young Ogre variant, not even at the age of 10 or so. She was pretty much a child leading a village of daemons.

For the first time, Luna was actually right in guessing what Lilith was thinking. She was indeed thinking about the village, but… this little Priestess of theirs was staring at the 99 barrels of wine, thinking if it would be worth the try.

'But I really like this wine.' She was complaining as she didn't want to share. But in the end, she could only sigh.

"Luna, can you create a link to everyone who's below level 60? Tell them to gather around. I want to give them something."

"I understand, boss head."

Luna did what Lilith asked her to do and called everyone who was the daemons below LVL 60. However, it wasn't just these kinds of people who appeared before her; instead, the entire village went to see Lilith.

"Why are all of them here?" Lilith felt tired seeing them gather in this manner.

"They wanted to see you, boss head?" Luna said with a smile. She had been mellowing down since she escaped being the Moon Liwa and awaked as the [Moon Queen]. Lilith was glad for her, but she was too soft on the people.

Lilith wanted to shout at them and tell them to scram. However, she shrugged her shoulders and thought of ways on how to use this moment. She stood up atop the boulder, gathering everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I thank you for gathering today despite the busy time that we have. I shall not stall your time and get to the heart of the matter as to why I ask those of ours who are below LVL 60 here, it is so that I can share another blessing from the Goddess Letza…"

Lilith raised her hand, and beside her, a barrel of wine with an alluring smell appeared. Its aroma fantastic and attracted the attention of the daemons.

"This is the Divine Wine of the Goddess. It was given to me as I slept, injured by the humans who tried to eradicate our kind. She went down from her realm, visited me in my dreams, and granted me a possible tool, to help us into our predicament.

"She wanted to grant us something more, but she was saddened at the fact she couldn't mess with the world too much as it might badly affect us. Thus, she could only give us a wine, which raises a daemon's level up till LVL 60. To those who are in the Rare-Tier, it will help you reach the maximum of your level, but to those at the Epic Tier, it will help you reach the 60th LVL."

Everyone was in awe as they listened to her words. At this point, Luna connected to the mind of those who were in the same league as those who were mentioned.

Those below LVL 60 and the Rare-Tiers walked forward. Lilith held onto a cup, and she carefully scooped one to give it to a Worker. The moment she downed the Divine Wine, her mind and body experienced electricity coursing through her veins.

Then at the next moment, Lilith watched as she transformed from a LVL 43 to a LVL 60 Ogre. It surprised everyone, and Lilith smiled at the sight of this.

The Ogre collapsed from intoxication, but, her level rose no questions asked. Lilith raised both hands and shouted, "This is the miracle of the Goddess Letza. This is her gift to us who follow her path! This is her gift of strengthening her followers!"

And so, as if they were a cult, the village people cheered for their Goddess. That night, a celebration was held, and the mood was uplifted.

There were those beyond the LVL cap who wanted to try the wine, but Lilith forbade them and to avoid any form of grievances, Lilith shook her head and then showed them a very saddened expression, "This…is for the future of our people… it is hard, but we must refrain from drinking. We must preserve some so the coming generation will grow stronger, faster and help our community flourish.

"Only this night will we give anyone who is at Rare-Tier, but, starting tonight, we will only give those who have reached the Epic Tier."

Lilith had no choice to bar them from drinking the wine. This wine was too delicious. It might create addicted daemons; thus, Lilith chose to keep the wine distribution under control.

She would use this later. However, it would be for something different.

The result of drinking the wine created an intoxicating night as the smell alone managed to make many daemons drunk. As the Rare-Tiers slept, they evolved, and then the tipsy daemons all laughed and sang while Lilith went away with Luna.

She left for one reason, and that reason was to open two things, the Mystery Box…and the Mystery Egg.
