Because although Mengzi and the others are nice, there is always a gap between me and me. It is the gap between the creator and the creation. Even after a long time, this gap has not been filled.
What she needs is not a listener, but a confidant, someone with whom she has the closest connection, someone with her blood flowing...
So, Shenqi came up with an idea.
She wanted to create a child of her own.
This idea took root in her heart and eventually became uncontrollable.
Finally, Shenqi took action. She used her own flesh and blood, her own strength, and successfully created a baby girl. Shenqi named her "Alice Margatroid".
Looking at the baby girl in her arms, her own child, Shenqi felt that this was the most precious treasure given to her by God - even if she herself was a god.
Shenqi longed to give Alice all the good things. Shenqi gave Alice the most beautiful appearance, the smartest mind, the most powerful strength - and the most infinite potential, everything.
Therefore, the intelligent Alice was born with the ability to use magic. As she grew older, she knew more and more things. At the age of seventeen, she looked like a little girl, but she had already mastered all the magic in the demon world at that time. In the following year, she achieved the feat her mother had done - creating life, that is, Lilith.
However, things were not going in a good direction.
Because her power grew so fast, Alice's mind could not keep up with her strength. Gradually, her emotions began to become thin. More and more knowledge was stored in her brain, but this did not satisfy her. She was still thirsty, thirsting for more unknowns, like an insatiable wolf, greedily devouring everything.
All of this was seen by her mother. If this continued, this endless greed and desire, as well as the increasingly fading emotions, would eventually destroy the people around her and herself - and all this was not what Shenqi expected.
So, Shenqi's friend, the succubus, came up with an idea.
Shenqi used an ancient magic ritual to separate Alice's knowledge, memory, power, and most perfect qualities from her body and sealed them in the book. What remained were what a child should have.
And this power was obtained by Lilith in the book.
The power of the Demon Princess does not belong to Lilith... Although Lilith is also a Demon Princess, this power only belongs to Alice, and it is not a power that Lilith can withstand.
As long as this power exists in Lilith, it will have a more serious negative impact on her and have a deeper connection with itself. If it lasts longer, Lilith herself may be assimilated by this power.
Fortunately, this power did not stay in Lilith for too long. With the intervention of the God of the Demon Realm, this divine power belonging to the Demon Princess was stripped from Lilith again and sealed back into Alice's magic book.
Lilith's face was calm as she lay quietly in the huge hexagram magic circle, like a sleeping princess in a fairy tale. Shenqi slowly fell from the sky. Also standing in the room were Yumeko, Succubus, Index and Alice.
Shenqi carefully held Lilith in his arms and reluctantly handed her to Alice on the side.
Alice held Lilith in her arms, looked at her cute sleeping face, and remembered that all the things that had happened to this little girl in the past were caused by her, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"So, that's all?"
"Yes."
After telling Alice everything, Shenqi couldn't help but shed tears and buried her head in her chest.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai... I... was really too selfish."
"You should have possessed unparalleled talent. You should have pursued everything you wanted and explored the depths of magic. But it was because of my selfishness and my own desires that I sealed your memory, your power, and everything you desired..."
"If it weren't for what I did, you might have already gotten everything you wanted... So, Xiao Ai, if you wish, then please remove the seal."
"This time, Mom won't stop you."
Looking at the magic book in her hand, Alice was silent for a while.
The power to create life that I have always pursued is right at my fingertips. I can get it with just a few clicks, and this power belongs to me.
Isn't what I want to do exactly to explore the mysteries and roots of magic? Isn't that what a magician is?
Looking at Shenqi with a hopeful look on her face, Alice sighed and handed Lilith in her hand to Mengzi beside her.
Seeing Alice's actions, Shenqi's eyes couldn't help but dim.
Alice walked up to Shenqi, opened her arms and hugged Shenqi.
"Okay, mother, don't cry. Don't worry, I won't leave." Alice said softly, patting Shenqi's back, as if to comfort her.
"Really?" Shen Qi looked a little unbelievable. "Xiao Ai Ni, you don't have to respect my ideas. Just do what you want—"
"That's what I want to do, Mother."
Putting her hands on Shenqi's shoulders and looking at her tearful face, Alice said seriously.
"Just as your mother said of you, I am also a greedy person. Whether it's you, Yumeko, Aika, Lilith, or my friends in Gensokyo... I don't want to lose my feelings, but I won't give up my pursuit of magic either... I want it all."
"So, don't worry, mother, and Ai Ge." Alice turned her head and saw Ai Ge, who had been eavesdropping at the door, poked her head out embarrassedly, then ran over and hugged Alice.
"I will not leave you."
"Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai! Woohoo doll..." Shenqi hugged Alice tightly. Ai Ge looked at the atmosphere of the scene and hugged Alice a little tighter.
Alice hugged the two of them helplessly. The three people on the side were also very pleased with this scene. Lilith, who was lying in Mengzi's arms, turned over and showed a sweet smile. It seemed that she had a good dream.
……
……
but……
Did Shenqi really tell everything?
But not everything can be said. Sometimes, hiding something is a good thing.
(This is the only few chapters of the daily Demon World episodes)
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 100: Can’t think of a title…
"Brother Ni is on—Brother Ni is off."
"As expected, Itadori can use the Red Blood Manipulation Technique. After all, he ate the Nine Phase Diagram..."
"Holy crap, eight consecutive Black Flashes? No wonder I thought Black Flash was so easy. Did I inherit Hu Zi's Black Flash talent? Add to that the effect of the Six Eyes... If I didn't have so many spells, maybe I could try using a basic attack as a Black Flash?"
"Damn, that's a shame... But this should be a good ending for him. After all, he killed so many people in the Shibuya Incident, but he protected his brother at the last moment and died on the battlefield... It was a worthy death."
"Oh my god, Toudou, why are you back? And that thing in your hand is just for fun... Shit, I know why the system gave me that cursed tool."
"Fuck! Gojo Satoru is resurrected... Damn it, iivv you fucking ■%※*@..."
After reading the new issues of Jujutsu Kaisen comics, Xiangbei felt very complicated.
He thought that Chapter 236 of the Jukai manga was the limit of Jukai, but he didn't expect that the content of Chapter 261 was even more explosive.
"I seem to have a boyfriend too. I'm not sure what to do with him. I'm not sure if he's a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I'm not sure if he's a boyfriend or a girlfriend! "
Come to think of it, the various powers I inherited seem to be based on the strength of the anime version, otherwise I wouldn't be able to defeat so many powerful enemies so easily...
With a sigh, Xiangbei stuffed the thin paper comic into the shadow. After a nap, he felt much more refreshed.
After finishing reading the comics, Xiangbei got up from the bed, walked out of the room, and went to look for Aige and the others.
I slept from noon to night, and it was already the demon time, but there would not be any strange things appearing in the demon world at this time.
The palace of the demon world is very large. Xiangbei, who is not familiar with the roads here, wants to find a room like the kitchen by walking on foot. It will probably take a long time.
Fortunately, a group of maids came at this time, so Xiangbei asked them about the location of Aige and others.
After walking for a while and entering a room, Xiangbei saw several people inside. Aige was sitting in Alice's arms, looking at Lilith on the bed, but her little feet were swinging restlessly. Mengzi on the side was removing the bandages on Shenqi's body. It seemed that her previous injuries had basically recovered. Succubus and Index were also there, and they were whispering about something in the corner of the room.
"To the north!"
Seeing Xiangbei coming, Aige cheered softly, jumped out of Alice's arms, and threw herself into Xiangbei's arms.
"Mr. Xiangbei."
After completely removing the bandages on Shenqi's body, Mengzi walked up to Xiangbei and bowed deeply to him.
"Thank you so much for your assistance. If it weren't for your help, Her Highness Lilith wouldn't have returned safely, and Lord Shenqi would have been even more seriously injured."
"It's my job, don't worry about it. After all, Miss Mengzi, you have helped me a lot. It's normal to help in this situation."
Looking at Lilith who was sleeping on the bed, Xiangbei asked in a low voice.
"Is this Lilith? She should be okay, right?"
"Her Highness Lilith is not seriously injured, but she will probably need to sleep for a while longer."
"That's good." Xiang Bei nodded with relief. At this time, Shen Qi also came over and coughed lightly.
"Well, thank you for your help before, but regarding the person who occupied Lilith's body... I hope you can tell me more about her characteristics."
"Of course, no problem...but..."
Xiangbei pointed to Lilith lying on the bed. The room was not big, and even if they deliberately lowered their voices, it still seemed a bit loud.
"Let's go outside and talk about it. Talking in the room will disturb the children's sleep."
"Ah." Shenqi's face turned slightly red. She had forgotten about this and forgot that Lilith needed to stay quietly in the room to rest.
Lilith turned over at the right moment and mumbled something as if she was talking in her sleep. Shenqi waved her hand quickly and asked everyone in the room to evacuate quickly.
Everyone left the room, and Alice was the last one to leave. After touching Lilith's cheek lovingly, Alice put her forehead against Lilith's.
"Sleep sweetly, Lilith."
……
……
Regarding the information about the disaster, Shenqi chose to pull Xiangbei into a hidden room to talk.
Ai Ge also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Shen Qi, who asked Meng Zi to guard the door and not allow anyone to come in.
With such a big event, there must be something very important to discuss... Several people speculated about the identity of the person who occupied Lilith's body, but without any information, they couldn't guess anything.
Inside the house, Shenqi and Xiangbei sat face to face. Xiangbei felt helpless as he watched Shenqi clumsily making black tea for him.
"Let me do it."
After taking the teacup and teapot, Xiangbei's technique of brewing black tea seemed much more professional. Although it was certainly not as good as that of a professional like Sakuya Yumeko, it could be considered of normal standard.
"Xiangbei, you can actually make black tea?" Shenqi raised the teacup and took a sip, praising, "Hmm, it's very good, almost as good as Mengzi's!"
"Ms. Shenqi, you're joking. Compared to Miss Mengzi, my tea-making skills are really nothing to show off. It's good enough that it's drinkable."
"That's pretty impressive, unlike me. I spent a long time practicing, but I couldn't even make a cup of normal black tea. Mengzi even said I had no talent at all in this area."
After the two chatted about some random things, they finally got to the point.
After swallowing the black tea in his mouth, Shenqi's expression straightened and he said.
"Mr. Xiangbei, do you know the identity of the person who occupied Lilith's body?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but judging from your tone, Ms. Shenqi seems to recognize that person?"
"Hmm." After placing the teacup back on the saucer and setting it on the table, Shen Qi replied, "I recognize that person. I'm very familiar with him... Mr. Xiangbei is from Gensokyo, so you must have heard of Yakumo Yukari."
"Of course. The name of the Youkai Sage is known to everyone."
"Then have you ever heard of how Gensokyo was founded?"
"That... I've heard a little bit about it. In order for Gensokyo to be established, the monsters from all factions united to resist the enemies sent by the World Will to obstruct the establishment of Gensokyo."
"In the end, all enemies were repelled by the youkai. The Hakurei barrier was created at the cost of the sacrifice of the first Hakurei shrine maiden. Furthermore, the youkai sage Yakumo Yukari successfully negotiated with the Dragon God, and Gensokyo was successfully established... This is the story I understand."
Putting the teacup on the table, Xiangbei pretended to be completely unaware of this.
"From Ms. Shenqi's tone...it seems there's something else hidden in this history?"
"Yeah." Shenqi said.
"That's right, and this part of history has also been hidden. It was a girl—another youkai sage, the sage of Gensokyo who repelled the Dragon God and allowed Gensokyo to be established..."
"And that girl's name is Yakumo Kurenai."
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 101: Piercing Xiaohong with a Spear ()
Yakumo Red...
Xiangbei's understanding of Yakumo Hong naturally far exceeds Shenqi's, but it is also interesting to listen to Shenqi telling about Yakumo Hong's experiences as a listener.
For example, relatives of Yakumo Yukari, destroyer of the Moon Palace, person who defeated the Dragon God, leader of monsters, founder of the great barrier...it's completely describing a hero.
Rather, to everyone in Gensokyo, Yakumo Kurenai is indeed a hero.
However, as a hero, she did not receive the treatment a hero should receive.
"After being defeated by the Dragon God, Yakumo Kurenai was resurrected once more... but not long after, she was killed by the Dragon God once again."
"The reason is precisely the [Law] within her body."
Shenqi looked up at the other person, but saw Xiangbei with a look of "continue talking" on his face, feeling a little surprised.
