Time had returned to before Charlotte rushed to the rescue.
Even when Charlotte learned from Haral that Lilith had been captured by the followers of the God of Hatred and Deformation, she knew it must be a trap.
The reason was simple—Lilith and Haral had always been the pillars of the Free City State, and as the two most powerful Transcendents of the city-state, it was their presence that had sustained it against the onslaught of the gods.
Though Lilith and Haral firmly believed that it was their special transcendent abilities and the Divine Artifacts left by the elves that enabled them to contend with the gods, Charlotte, who had become a Demigod, did not think so.
After staying behind, she had personally "assessed" the strength of the two, and the conclusion of this "assessment" was that although the duo was indeed strong, it would be quite difficult for them to stand against the Mythical if they really wanted to.
