Chapter 2: Obey, or Die
"Make a child with me, immediately!"
Asmodeus's voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible magic.
As soon as he finished speaking, his vast black wings suddenly unfurled, blotting out the faint remaining light in the dungeon, his entire figure looming over like a towering black mountain.
It was a visually striking scene.
On one side was the ruler of the Demon Realm, standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, possessing a golden ratio inverted-triangle physique, majestic demonic horns atop his head, and radiating an aura of ancient desolation.
On the other side was a top-tier succubus, only 1.57 meters tall, wearing a Gothic Lolita dress, with white hair cascading to her waist, looking delicate and easily overpowered.
Before Asmodeus, Lilith's petite body was like a shivering kitten, as if she would be swallowed whole, bones and all, by this beast in the next second.
The Demon Lord slowly leaned down, his face, handsome to the point of being eerie, enlarging in Lilith's eyes, his cold lips on the verge of touching her cherry-like ones.
However!
Just as the distance between them was down to the last 0.01 centimeters, just as this ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak—
The soul of "Old Duan" finally had enough.
"Dammit! You actually intimidated me. Who wants to have a child with you!?"
With that, Lilith suddenly lashed out!
Shame overcame fear, and a brilliant purple light erupted from her ruby-like eyes!
The vast knowledge base in her mind was instantly searched, and an obscure yet powerful incantation escaped her lips almost instinctively.
"Tier 8 Magic: Void Bursting Flame!"
Although she had just reincarnated, the Goddess, while bestowing Old Duan with this body, had also given her a powerful reservoir of combat techniques and battle instincts.
Lilith could clearly sense that her magic power was practically bottomless! This Tier 8 magic, if used outside, was definitely a super magic capable of leveling a human city!
"Go to hell, you pervert!"
Boom—!!!
Purple-black flames instantly exploded within the cramped space of the dungeon. The terrifying shockwave, mixed with high temperatures, sent cracks through the surrounding hard rock walls and blasted Asmodeus into the distance.
Wave after wave of heat swept through, completely filling the dungeon's space, yet they couldn't singe Lilith's lovely body in the slightest.
But it wasn't over yet!
Lilith pressed her advantage, leaping backward using the recoil and waving her hands repeatedly:
"Shadow Spear!"
"Corrosive Poison Mist!"
"Chain Magic Explosion!"
Boom boom boom boom boom—
A barrage of high-tier magic rained down on Asmodeus as if it cost nothing. The entire Underground Labyrinth shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Wait... wait... wait...
It wasn't until a minute later that Lilith, panting heavily, stared intently at the thick smoke and dust ahead.
[He's definitely dead now, right?]
[Heh, the Goddess gave me peak-level combat power; my firepower is equivalent to a nuclear bomb!]
[Want to turn me gay? Maybe in your next life!]
Thinking this, a smug curve appeared at the corner of Lilith's mouth.
However.
When the smoke cleared.
Her smile froze directly on her face.
That tall figure was still standing in the same spot! Even his clothes weren't damaged in the slightest!
Asmodeus calmly reached out and lightly brushed away non-existent dust from his clothes—let alone being injured, even his hairstyle wasn't messed up. The world-destroying Tier 8 magic hitting the Demon Lord was actually like a gentle breeze brushing past his face!
Then, Asmodeus raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest appearing in his crimson eyes:
"I see. Is this why ancient magic was banned? A summoned high-tier familiar actually possesses such strong independent will that it won't even submit to the master's contract..."
A cruel sneer curled on his lips as he cracked his wrists with a series of pops:
"It doesn't matter."
"In that case, I'll just beat you into submission!"
[Hey, hey, you've got to be kidding me?!]
Looking at the unscathed Demon Lord before her, Lilith was completely stunned, her pink little mouth forming an "O" shape.
Completely ineffective?
That was magic capable of destroying a city!
It's like you're spraying with a fully-equipped Gatling gun, but the opponent just feels an itch?
But before she could react, Demon Lord Asmodeus had already moved.
Swish—
Leaving an afterimage behind, a terrifying pressure instantly overwhelmed the area. Startled, the heart-tipped tail behind Lilith whipped around her thigh, wrapping around the flesh again and again.
[Crap... I'm going to die!]
A fear rooted in biological instinct rose frantically from the depths of her heart.
In her desperation, Lilith responded quickly, her small hands rapidly forming seals in the air:
[Haste Boost]
[Bull's Strength]
[Iron Skin]
[Enhanced Dynamic Vision]... In one breath, she stacked over a dozen powerful buffs on herself. Lilith felt her body filled with explosive power.
This sense of power made her previously terrified heart swell with confidence again.
"I'll give it my all! I don't believe I can't beat you! Die!"
She gave a dainty shout and, instead of retreating, charged forward, turning into a streak of black light heading for the Demon Lord.
Bang bang bang—
The two figures clashed and traded blows repeatedly within the pitch-black labyrinth, their movements so fast that ordinary eyes couldn't track them.
Although she was constantly on the defensive, Lilith was gradually shocked by her own power—her speed was like lightning, every punch created a sonic boom, and hard rock was as fragile as tofu in her hands.
A punch landed, and though it was blocked by Asmodeus with one hand, the shockwave caused cracks to appear on the distant labyrinth walls.
[So strong!]
[Is this the world's peak combat power?]
[I'm way too strong!]
Lilith grew more confident as she fought, feeling as though she were invincible.
[With this kind of power, I could easily tear an aircraft carrier on Earth apart with my bare hands! And I can't take down a mere Demon Lord like you?!]
[Die!]
With an incredibly arrogant thought, the demon bat wings on Lilith's back suddenly unfurled!
Like a fallen angel from hell, she radiated a divine yet eerie purple light, her face wearing a sinister grin and her aura overpowering! Aided by an accelerated dive, she extended her claws infused with black magic and lunged fiercely at Asmodeus's face!
"Get lost!!!"
Closer!
Even closer!
Just a little bit further, and she could scratch that handsome face with her nails!
However, she didn't expect that in the next second... a fist the size of a sandbag would strike first despite moving second, ruthlessly slamming into her face.
Thud—
In that instant, the scene seemed to freeze... Lilith's short little arms were still desperately reaching forward, still a full twenty centimeters from Asmodeus's face... while Asmodeus's long arm had already solidly hit its target.
[Damn...]
In the moment she was sent flying, Lilith only had time to curse that one word in her mind.
Getting hit before even touching the opponent—this was the tragedy of being 1.57 meters against 1.9 meters!
[My arms are too short!]
Thump—
The defeated Lilith traced a far-from-graceful parabola through the air, landing accurately back into that Black Crystal Coffin.
"Ugh..."
She let out a pained whimper. Just as she was about to push herself up with her hands, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back as immense pressure descended like a mountain!
Asmodeus's foot was actually stepping directly onto her delicate back!
"Ah!"
Squish—
Accompanied by a suspicious squishing sound, Lilith was pinned flat inside the crystal coffin.
With her limbs splayed out, her already skimpy skirt was now in complete disarray, and she was pinned down by her back, unable to move.
[Hey, this guy's strength is way too much!]
She struggled desperately, gritting her teeth, but her body was like a turtle with its shell pinned down; her limbs flailed uselessly.
[I... I can't resist!]
[Didn't the Goddess give me world-peak strength? Why can't I even beat the first person I encounter after reincarnating! This isn't scientific!]
"Eh?!"
Just then, Lilith let out an instinctive cry of alarm.
Because she felt something bone-chillingly cold pressed against her snowy-white neck.
It was a demonic sword formed entirely from condensed dark energy.
Terrifying killing intent instantly permeated her entire body!
It was definitely no joke; it was the tangible aura of death! An inexplicable fear welled up in her heart, making her body tremble instinctively.
Her toes curled silently, as if every cell were wailing, wanting only to submit to the monarch before her.
"Obey, or die!"
Asmodeus looked down from above and coldly spat out those words.
As he spoke, he slightly increased the pressure of his foot, pressing Lilith's exquisite little face against the cold inner wall of the crystal coffin.
[Damn it... Damn it!]
To think that right after reincarnating, I'd be so utterly humiliated by a man;
Even with world-peak combat power, I still can't defeat the enemy in front of me... How could I endure such humiliation!
[I'll kill you...]
[Kill you, kill you, kill you!]
[I'm definitely going to freaking kill you!]
Thinking this, the humiliation in Lilith's eyes grew, and her pupils turned redder because of it—to think that a dignified seven-foot man like him was now being stepped on by another man; this was simply the shame of a lifetime! An absolute disgrace!
"Refusing to submit? Fine."
Seeing that she remained silent, Asmodeus's patience ran out.
He spoke coldly, raising the black sword high.
Buzz—
A terrifying sound of breaking wind echoed in the air, as if it were a strike capable of severing even the soul!
Looking at the raised blade, Lilith felt her vision go dark and her legs tighten—what dignity, what backbone? At this moment, they were all thrown to the winds! Only staying alive mattered!
And so, in the next second.
Slap— slap— slap—
Lilith frantically slapped the floor, shouting with a sob in her voice:
"Don't! Don't kill me!"
Swish————
The blade fell; it seemed everything was too late!
Fortunately, at the last second, Lilith added just in time:
"I submit! I submit, okay! Master, I was wrong!"
