Chapter 29: potent sage injector
"So strong! Absolutely incredible! Demon Lord!"
As the holy light dissipated, Hill was the first to rush forward.
Ignoring his disheveled clothes and faintly aching rope marks, he circled around Asmodeus with starry eyes:
"Even legendary holy magic is within your grasp! Truly worthy of being the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm! Augustine's despicable tricks are nothing but a clown's act before you!"
"Wahh, to witness your divine power once more, Hill could die without regrets!"
"Long live the Demon Lord! Wahh..."
As he spoke, Hill actually began to cry—who knows just how much he idolizes Asmodeus.
Facing his little fanboy's frenzied praise, Asmodeus nodded calmly, showing little emotional fluctuation.
However, Lilith, standing to the side, had an incredibly complex look in her eyes.
She stared intently at that tall figure's back, her mind replaying the information the Collector had revealed about "compulsory education" and "labor laws."
"This guy... definitely has something off about him, right?"
"Ahead of his time in thinking, capable of using the hero's magic, stronger than me, who's 'among the world's top ranks'... This looks exactly like the standard setup for a transmigrator!"
A bold idea grew wildly in her heart: Should she just ask him directly? Maybe he's a fellow countryman?
"But..."
"What if he really is a transmigrator and a ruthless person who believes in the dark forest theory?'Since you're someone with a system like me, I must kill you! After all, I don't want anyone stronger than me!'... Wouldn't I be dead for sure?"
"If he isn't a transmigrator, wouldn't asking something as random as 'Are you from Earth?' expose the fact that I'm from another world? What if I get captured as a test subject and dissected for research?"
"Hmm..."
Thinking of this, Lilith's brows furrowed into a tangled mess, her pink lips unconsciously bitten pale.
Just as she was caught in a mental storm.
"Lilith."
That deep, magnetic voice suddenly sounded by her ear.
"Yes!"
Lilith jolted, instinctively straightening her posture and standing at attention.
Before she could react, that tall figure had already enveloped her.
Asmodeus stepped forward, extending his arms and pulling her tightly into his embrace without hesitation—as his arms wrapped around her soft waist, Lilith's body trembled, letting out an involuntary sound:
"Mm?!"
His hard chest pressed against her soft bosom, but this only emphasized the warmth of his embrace.
That intense, masculine heat instantly enveloped her, as if seeping into every inch of her skin.
"My apologies, I arrived late."
Asmodeus lowered his head, his chin gently brushing against Lilith's hair, his voice carrying a hint of barely noticeable fear and self-blame.
"Are you injured?"
As he spoke, his hand slowly moved up Lilith's back, seemingly checking her physical condition.
In response, Lilith's gaze flustered, stammering as she tried to struggle and reply:
"I... I'm not..."
She tried to speak but found her voice utterly weak!
Her blood boiled, her breathing grew rapid, her legs felt somewhat weak, making her mind grow dizzy:
"Oh no... oh no..."
"Being held by Asmodeus feels... so... so comfortable..."
"If... if I could just be pushed down by him like this... be held even tighter by him..."
"Damn! No!"
As soon as this thought surfaced, Lilith broke into a cold sweat from fright, pushing Asmodeus away with her hands!
"No, no, no!"
"What am I thinking! I'm a tough, unyielding man! How can I feel this way about another man?"
"If this continues, I'll turn into an idiot! Absolutely into a foolish, obsessed girl with only Asmodeus on her mind! How could I face Old Song like that?"
"I can't possibly meet him next time with a big belly, leaning happily in Asmodeus's arms and saying to Old Song: 'Best Friend, I'm already the Demon Lord's possession~'"
"Actually, that doesn't sound bad?"
"Ugh! Bad my ass! Get lost!"
Extreme panic temporarily overpowered desire.
After pushing Asmodeus away, Lilith shook her head vigorously, then turned her back to the Demon Lord, squatting on the ground with her hands on her head, trying hard to maintain her sanity.
"Hmm?"
Asmodeus blinked in confusion.
"Am I disliked?"
"Is she angry because I arrived late?"
He looked helplessly at Hill beside him, who also shrugged in bewilderment, shaking his head to indicate he couldn't help.
Little did they know.
At this very moment, Lilith, squatting on the ground with her back to them, was frantically tapping on her mobile phone screen.
"AI! AI!"
"Why have I become like this? Even though my body has turned into a woman, my soul should still be the same! Why do I have no resistance to that Demon Lord?"
A few seconds later, the AI's cold analysis popped up on the screen:
"Problem Analysis: Succubus Physiological Rejection Reaction"
"Analysis Result: The host's body structure is that of a legendary high-level Succubus. The racial traits of succubi determine that the stronger their magic, the greater their desire for 'powerful males.' This is a survival instinct etched into their DNA, unrelated to the soul's gender."
"Additional Note: Since the host's body is currently still in a 'pure' state, the accumulated Succubus factors have no outlet. Facing a top-tier male creature like Asmodeus, experiencing intense desire and submissive urges is a normal physiological phenomenon."
"Current Recommendation: Follow instinct and engage in deep communication with Abyssal Demon King Asmodeus, to alleviate this symptom."
"Deep communication my ass!"
Looking at the suggestion on the screen, Lilith gritted her teeth, her face red as if about to drip blood, whether from shame or anger.
Then, she quickly tapped on the screen again with her fingers:
"Isn't there any other way? It's not like I wanted to become a Succubus! Think of something else!"
For this question, the AI remained silent for a moment before popping up another window:
"Alternative Solution: Drug Suppression"
"Recommended Product: potent sage injector (Succubus Inhibitor Type-X)"
"Effect: After injection, forcibly suppresses the active Succubus factors in the host's body, placing the host in an absolutely rational'sage state,' significantly reducing worldly desires."
"Price: 10 system coins per dose."
"Aha! There's such a good thing!"
Lilith's eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.
Only 10 coins—for Lilith, who has over five thousand system coins, it's ridiculously cheap!
Lilith didn't bother to read the fine print at the bottom of the product details page. She swiped away the omniscient and omnipotent ai solver, found the potent sage injector in the shop, and clicked [Purchase].
Ding!
A metal syringe filled with pale blue liquid appeared in her hand out of thin air.
With her back to Asmodeus, Lilith quietly lifted a corner of her skirt.
The black-stockinged thigh flesh slightly indented, appearing particularly enticing. Gritting her teeth, she aimed at that spot and jabbed hard!
"Mm..."
As the liquid was injected.
A cool, icy sensation instantly flowed through her blood vessels, spreading throughout her body.
In just an instant.
All that restlessness, rapid heartbeat, and desire to cling... completely vanished.
Her mind became clearer than ever, as if standing on an ice field at absolute zero.
Thinking of Asmodeus again, her heart indeed felt no ripples—she even felt like laughing a bit.
"Is this the Sage Mode..."
"Such a rational feeling, such a powerful feeling!"
"Amazing! My body is saved! This money was well spent!"
Finally having saved her chastity, Lilith was in high spirits! She casually closed the interface.
Little did she know, at the very bottom of the closed AI solver interface, there was a warning message she completely missed:
"Warning: This drug only has a calming effect and cannot eliminate the Succubus factors in the host's body. If excessive intimate contact with the opposite sex occurs during the drug's effect, suppressed desires will continuously accumulate and experience a 'retaliatory rebound' after the drug wears off. Please use with caution, as the consequences are at your own risk."
Unfortunately, Lilith saw none of this.
At this moment, she stood up, brushed back her hair, a confident, smug smile curling at the corner of her mouth as she walked step by step back toward that man.
"Lord Asmodeus."
Her demeanor had undergone a dramatic transformation!
The previously somewhat shy, somewhat tsundere girlish demeanor had completely vanished; replaced by a cold, aloof, arrogant, and somewhat smug pretty face.
She gently patted the dust off her skirt, her movements elegant and cold, like a noble, icy queen.
"Lilith?"
Asmodeus looked at the girl who had suddenly changed before his eyes, somewhat baffled.
He instinctively reached out, wrapping his arm around Lilith's slender waist, wanting to pull her into his embrace as usual.
However, this time, Lilith didn't blush, struggle, or show any signs of shame.
She simply stood there quietly, letting the Demon Lord hold her;
Tilting her chin up, she looked at Asmodeus with disdain, saying calmly:
"Since the Collector has been eliminated, let's not waste time here—Demon Lord, let's hurry to the next floor."
"To regain freedom as soon as possible, I'll help you get out quickly."
Her tone was calm, without a trace of shy fluctuation, only the arrogance and confidence of a powerful demon.
In response, Asmodeus was momentarily stunned.
"Hmm?"
He looked puzzled at this coldly beautiful face in his arms.
Though he didn't understand why Lilith had suddenly become less cute, this icy, indifferent attitude... for some reason... seemed even more enticing?!
"Alright."
Asmodeus nodded, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he lowered his head and directly kissed Lilith's always-chattering little mouth!
"..."
This kiss was deeper than any before.
However.
Lilith kept her eyes open, showing no reaction, her heart still calm:
"Heh, useless, useless~"
"Kiss away, kiss away, do as you please. It's just two pieces of flesh pressing together anyway, no feeling at all~"
"I've evolved! I'm no longer that foolish Succubus loli from before! I'm a heartless Dungeon-Grinding Machine!"
"Hmm? Wait..."
Just as Asmodeus reluctantly released her, his hand still restlessly caressing her waist.
Maintaining her aloof posture, Lilith's eye twitched inexplicably.
"Something feels off?"
"Even though I feel nothing in my heart..."
"Aren't I still being casually kissed and held by Asmodeus? My status hasn't changed at all!"
"And why don't I feel disgusted after injecting the drug? Could it be that I've already gotten used to it? This isn't right—"
