" Here you go " Mother held some food on her claws to Lily and she opened her mouth while Mother threw it in " Still better than the burning charcoal " the children looked at the burned hole through the table and the drop of metal which froze .
" Beryl did much better than you did " Lily said " Mama uses a leaf to feed Papa " Beryl told his mother " Hmm " Mother grabbed a leaf to put food in while Solaris tried to use other flames " This sashimi , is it alright to use this flame on it " Solaris asked .
" If you want to feed her , why not get some leaves from the plantae stellaris species ? " Rate said " So everyone is going to use leaves to feed me ? " Lily asked .
" Why not ? It's not like you can't eat it " Rate said " I guess so , but still I don't voluntarily eat things that shouldn't be edible . They might not even taste so good since there are no chefs who cook it as an ingredient "
" Is that what stopped you from eating most things ? " Mother asked " She does put taste first before being full , how else would she be starving for the whole time like me " Solaris said " I would be small even if I did eat a lot "
" Like before ? " Beryl asked " Yes Beryl , just like before " Lily said carrying him " Me too " Aurora said and Carrie floated to Lily as she carried her too " Aww my kids sure love me " the TV screen shook and out came Lily's child with the Labyrinth .
" Papa " Lily turned " Oh you're here , sorry I didn't mean to leave you out Daize . Here are the rest of your half-siblings " Lily introduced her children to Daize " Looks like you took a while to show yourself "
Daize turned to a boy that resembles Lily " You look like Papa " Carrie said " Argus says I should look like Papa because I'm her child " Daize said . Carrie looked at Rate and at Lily " I don't look like Papa "
" neither does Beryl or Aurora plus Lily has a lot of DNA in her " Rate said trying to assure the children " Yeah even Solaris has a lot of flames Aurora and you don't have all of it " Lily said while Mother was confused of what they were trying to do " I mean my children all look very different from each other too but I know they're mine "
" Then who is your mama ? " Aurora asked and Daize pointed down ' Right we never really tell the children what kind of world we live in , but I guess it's fine , children back home don't know about politics , so no need to involve them '
" Very big " Lily carried the children to their playroom " Dad will be off to work , Have fun with your new sibling " " Make sure to come back home for dinner " Mother said , kissing Lily on the cheek " Sure I'll see you soon "
...
Lily drove the spacecraft and left it at the space station and used Solaris's flames to bring herself into the exit ' Let's bring some food back home ' she returned back later , an hour before dinner and went to the Labyrinth .
" I've bought some food for you dear , also our kid Daize is having a lot of fun with his siblings " Lily opens a box giving the Labyrinth a lot of planets shrunk down .
" You won't have to worry about Immortal soon , but do keep up so they don't feel like they need to be in a hurry , but you do have to be prepared to spit them out "
... " Thanks dear , I'll make sure to get you your body back " Lily continues through the days for another four weeks and she checks everything which was already prepared "Rebels have all been affected by the seal waiting for activation" in one of Scyan's reports .
" Solution formulation complete , Keymaker status imprisoned " the virtual world program said " Integration of world seal progress ... " Lily looked at the machines that had welded together with the exit .
' This might be useful later ' Lily takes her cane out of the tech " How's integration Blank , Can I control it ? " "Yes , through the connection of the grimoire to the facility , using the distributor's spell , it is possible"
' Good , tell me what I can use this tech for other than as a processing unit " "Currently access to exits adjacent to current world's exit number of exits opened relevant to technology's access to certain resources"
' That's good enough , but how is taking over the seal's source ? Are you successful in replacing the seal's energy source " " Current progress is slow however , due to the potential event of Keymaker making an appearance and dissolving the seal here , it is advised to leave them elsewhere "
" Huh guess the processing power of the tech is this big , but the brains inside might not be enough " she wondered how much Rate will say she had dirtied her hands due to this and make her wash them like before .
' Once this is over , I'm gonna have to clean a few things up or I won't even be allowed to go near my children , being a good and righteous person is so hard '
...
" I'm planning to attack the rebel base " Lily told Duarte " Huh really ? " " Yeah I've caught some bastards that tried to kidnap my children and my spouses , no way was I gonna let them off so easy . I don't know much about the rebels; they wish for a society dedicated to fighting the Labyrinth , but there is too much dirt in there . I don't have that much dirt on me , so I'm gonna have to get rid of them and find out why they are attacking them "
Duarte looked at the planet that the rebels had turned into their base ' Wait isn't this place ' Duarte thought of the distributor's conversation that he had with the one who took care of Lily's entrance to this world .
" So this is the background of that commander , she's quite mysterious but these rumors about her . A bit strange , isn't it more plausible that she has some great funding and is just pretending to protect herself "
" It's not like I can do anything I was only limited to speaking with only one person they knew a lot of what I should drag but if they can survive that kind of bomb in their world and rebuild that fast they are worth the payment "
" Didn't you use the truth teller on them ? " " I did , but they were very good at hiding a lot of information . I'm not sure if they were telling the truth or not . But one thing is for sure , if there were rumors , they should be able to live up to the same reputation , if even that world's government couldn't handle her , I've gone through all the files around her and that includes the personnel and subjects she has "
" Also can you believe how this guy you work with is actually a rebel ? " Lily showed the picture and said the plan " They made a ridiculous plan to expose me as an ecological nightmare , but I'm just a girl who successfully attained immortality and grew to protect it . Had to spread rumors about me being a monstrous entity that gives powers just to force my enemies to be on guard "
' It's the truth ' Duarte's mind thought of how Lily's distributor spoke doubt " Be careful about her Duarte , just think she might be dangerous " ' I will , but there's not a lot of evidence that she is ' Duarte thought at that time .
' She is that dangerous then ' Lily smiled and Duarte thought it was towards him or a moment and watched Lily stare at the progress rate ' I have to get away ' " I'll leave and attend to my business commander "
" Sure I'll tell you about the ending of the rebels , they've done some good but targeting me when I have a family they've crossed a line " Duarte leaves pacing himself to not arouse suspicion ' I look forward to the results Duarte , hopefully you give me some things too '
Lily watched as the whole planet suddenly lighted up , the night of the planet started to glow and the seals that were spread to each member activated .
' Starting now , reporters should be watching and making it public . Showing off this much should force the rest of the rebels to try their best to hide too , meanwhile Duarte is leaving to ensure he can protect himself from the monster '
" By the way , how is the progress going along ? " "Synchronization with world seal progressing ... it is possible to now change an exit to seal away Immortal and Keymaker"
" good I have a place to throw them out , Change some exits at the opposite side of the processing unite . I want to use those to trap Keymaker and maybe Immortal if they live up to their name "
Argus made preparations as Blank relays the order after Lily confirms it ' After the rebels are finished I can go take Immortal out once Argus prepares the prisons for them ' " How long until Keymaker gets out of that prison ? "
" They are busy decoding the structure of the digital prison they are put in " " Make sure to reinforce it just to be sure " Lily closed it and made plans for what to do with the rebels once the mission to get rid of the faction against her was finished .
...
Lily walks to a table with many reporters yelling in a different language some questions ' They are annoying ' " Commander what are your plans after eliminating the rebels ? " " Is your intent to answer questions part of a publicity strategy ? " ' There are a few smart and curious cats in the mix '
" You won't be hearing my answers if everyone has so many questions " Everyone became silent as Lily looked at the cameras " Now I do intend to use this for publicity , I plan to get rid of the rebels who tried to kidnap my family and show it to the public as a warning . It seems like they questioned some of my personnel and found out about my past and I think it was time for you to know "
Lily told everyone about her being an immortal , with rumors that mention an ability to gift strength , which the world has yet to find a real answer to , but didn't delve too deep .
" I confirmed that the Rebels were using this as a basis to force me to use the powers they heard from the rumors . I'm still confused why their goal was to expose me for having that power but they forgot that I can retaliate "
" What are your plans after then ? " " I think I will be keeping some of the documents , I dislike corruption . I plan to deal with them according to the documents I find or maybe through interrogation and spare the rebels who were opposed to the plan that harmed my family "
The jounalist took notes and cameras floated out of the reporters and were put close to Lily " That's why , for those corrupt officials with some dirt in their names you better turn in a new leaf or hide your crimes because I am going to take all of these documents and sealing your fate ones they get to my ears I know the truth teller you use and I will be leading a lot of interrogations "
She returned the cameras and the reporters quickly yelled out their questions " Commander what do you mean seal their fates " " Can you tell us more about your past ? "
' The corrupt officials are warned while the distributors that heard the news will probably try to avoid me but if I find the proof of their existence I can get rid of them too . '
She hears some reports of the ongoing operation " Boss lady They have nukes like they're bullets ? " Terra asked and Hasst reports on his side " They have a lot of artillery and they're taking out our forces "
" I am needed in the battle , so if you may excuse me " a door appears and she leaves the crowd of reporters . She appeared at the frontline " I really expect a lot from the Rebels " she gets a call from Rate " What is it dears ? "
" Are you going to be okay ? " Rate asked with some worry " Of course I will be , in fact I'll do you one better I won't be using the benefits I got from your love " " No please use it " " I know you're worried I'm just saying I can be fine against these rebels especially with all the planning I made in advance . "
Lily looked at a star forger using the power of a star and directed towards Lily " I'll call you back dears " She motioned a kiss , closing the call and a ray of concentrated sunlight was shot towards her .
She takes out some fire-based possessors and uses them to shrink the attack for her to absorb ' Let's just say I'm using my spouses' powers and the possessors are being used to control the attacks '
A nuke was dropped and Lily protected herself with a shield and used the wind to gather the radiation and absorbed it , making up another excuse for later explanations " I've had bigger things thrown at me "
Lily noticed a spike in danger through Blank " Hmm ? " she got the locations of the threat and identified them " Not too bad , but you have to exhaust all your options if you want to fight me " she heard some voices of the rebels' current leader .
" Do you think that's gonna be enough ? She has the blessings of two great wills in her , the rumors say she's much stronger . Her growth to a mature state of her species is enough proof " Blank starts finding more and more weapons being activated .
" All of this compiled into one planet , now this is a true weapon against the Labyrinth " Lily's voice echoed through the planet " If you are that convinced I'm some ecological nightmare , then why not use this opportunity to prove it "
Lily started using her powers and the rebels quickly decided to attack her after an order ' They are doing it ' Lily thought of the public's reaction and started making up excuses .
" Maybe I should stop . I could just say I'm extremely talented moreover , if I go on explaining everything , it kinda makes me like a pushover and suspicious "
The rebels activate the attacks and Lily talks to herself about the script she's writing for herself for publicity " Could just say I had to not use my spouses' power because of a fight , but that sounds so personal " She blocks the waves of attacks .
' They might be suspicious that I mastered different arts from different worlds and question the rumors , thinking they have ascertained it ' She froze another bomb from exploding .
" But then again , since I already did this attack , they will start suspecting me for being the monster in the rumors , but won't be completely convinced . the distributors can't say the truth and expose their system and destroy it "
She suddenly thought of why the distributors still stay ' Sense of duty ? ' a giant monster came from the ground and tried to eat her . She quickly unseals the cause of fear as the monster retreats , sensing the threat .
' I guess a sense of duty makes sense , but that also means that the rebels have the same right ? ' " Quickly purge all data we are losing and if she gets this data , she can expose it to the public and crumble the society that builds on it "
Lily finally finishes the rebels after aggroing all of their big attacks " So they did do it " she looked at some of the rebels' souls , which had some missing memories " I didn't think they would have this kind of sense of duty too "
She couldn't find any traces of the distributors ' Guess they at least got rid of something . It's too bad I am already aware of it but they probably knew and were planning to expand the lifespan of this society built in lies . So you deserve a few claps for making this decision and giving me an advantage'
She thinks of the logic Keymaker and Immortal as well as the community had ' It's still not a bad system , the three pillars somehow support each other Rebels cleans the corruption rampant in distributors and both are secretive about the pillar of the distributors from the developers '
" Blank , how is the prison you prepared ? " "It is ready" " How long until the next one is ready so that I can seal the keymaker too before they go out of their prison "
Blank presents the time " Time of Keymaker leaving current prison is longer than expected finished creation of exit prison " " the problem with these guys is that sense of duty , they're not gonna give up and leave me and Labyrinth alone "
She looks at the memories that were forgotten " Too bad the evidences are gone , if I had them , I could rally up the civilizations who only fought the abyss because it dragged people in and brought them in as my allies . Of course , that's unless they go through some dialogues that convince them that the Labyrinth is evil "
Lily thought of how to get rid of that and proceeded back to the smart tower , reporting on the extermination of the rebels to Ryson " You're going to go after the Immortal ? "
" Yes , the rebels have some kind of memory loss backup plan on them . It matches a strategy in my world where they kill themselves to prevent interrogation . good thing I got there in time and found some information about Immortal "
" But would you go for Immortal ? " Ryson asked as the image of Immortal being the symbol of rebels whose goal was to rid of corruption of power ' The rebels are supposed to straighten the goal of fighting the Labyrinth , isn't it ? '
" I know it's hard to believe , but it seems like something is going on with this symbol they have " " What is it ? " " The obvious one was the memory loss , I don't understand what they lost , but it seems every rebel forgot some important memories "
' But I at least got rid of any info leak about my awareness of the distributors but Keyly is bound to figure it out due to her connection to the library of seals and our conversations '
" Now I need some support for their mental health , it seems like some of the rebels who were only focused on the corrupted officials and messed up rules are mentally fine . So it convinced me more to investigate on their symbol"
" Wait , that doesn't make sense " " I know rebels are supposed to straighten the goal of fighting the Labyrinth , but for some reason , they lose memories , which is somewhat connected to Immortal and the memory about the corrupt officials is still present "
" How do you know about it " Ryson asked " I have Death and Life with me , they're both entities with some connection to souls , you should know them " " Oh I'm guessing it takes too long to explain "
" A lot of things take forever to explain , so I'm planning to go search for Immortal according to the memory they are deep in the Labyrinth , so I'll be heading there "
" Are you sure it's safe ? " Ryson asked ' For me it is ' " It won't matter . I need to get to the bottom of this , with all of the strange things that happened when I found them missing some memories , I need to see what their symbol is doing and why some information has disappeared "
' I have so many plans for you Immortal ' " Okay take care " Ryson said and thought of what to prepare ' There might be some altercations , but I can't stop Commander from going down , maybe she's too curious ? '
...
" Dad , you're going on another business trip ? " Aurora asked " Yes but don't worry . dad is just visiting Daize's mother " " Can I go too ? " Daize asked " I guess you could " " I wanna see Daize's mom too " Beryl said .
" Can we go ? " Carrie asked and Lily thought of the danger of the trip " We'll go if your mother gives you permission " " Okay " Daize thought of his mother and Lily picked him up " You don't have to ask , you have my permission "
Lily felt a hand grab her and looked at Rate " Why are you going down to Labyrinth ? " Rate asked " He says it's supposed to be dangerous " Mother said " Which is why I'm not letting Beryl down "
" But mom , we wanna see Daize's mom " Beryl said " You can do other things up here , it's much safer " Mother said " Mom ? " Carrie asked " No Dad is just bringing Daize along "
" I'll call Solaris then so I can head down " " No Carrie , this isn't a field trip . Didn't Dad tell you that she's going on a business trip " Rate said .
" Solaris said no , so let's head down now , Daize " Lily turns her cane into an umbrella and Daize enters the digital space " See you later family " Lily goes to the Labyrinth , shielding Daize's existence from any satellites and goes down .
" Mom " Daize said through the umbrella's radio " Come on Daize you can come out now , this place is safe " a black haze leaves the Umbrella and Daize manifests their physical form while Lily carries him " Hey dear , I bought our son , he wants to see you "
Some Labyrinth puppets appeared " We will take care of the great one's child " ' You want to ask why I'm here ? " Lily gives Daize to the puppets , which Daize senses some familiarity in them ' I was thinking of taking out Immortal from your hands and keeping them sealed somewhere else "
Lily gives out some treats for Labyrinth " Also since Immortal is a part of fighting against the Labyrinth , I plan to clean up your name , it wasn't your fault for causing trouble for them . Can't let my innocent spouse be accused of some bad things , so I'm going to make some evidence to get rid of your bad image , might start with the distributors "
Lily walked to where the puppets were settled and found Daize being honored ' What I'd expect from a cult ' Lily takes a picture and Labyrinth brings a few recording to her " Oh you even have these with you dear " she listened to them , which revealed some conversation of rebels talking about the distributors .
" You have a lot of incriminating evidences , sorry about having Daize stay in a space similar to where you are locked in " Lily sends the documents back home and continues to talk with Labyrinth " You wanna know how I got out of a prison ? "
She thinks of some stories " Oh I remember this one time , I was stuck inside a pool of liquid . I was having difficulties breathing and when they poked my skin to get my blood , it caused it to explode "
Labyrinth pushed an appendage and pointed to itself " Oh right it doesn't make sense if I was able to break out huh ? I guess I do have a lot of other times where I was in prison " Lily thought of a memory .
" How about this one . An emperor heard tales of a god who was me . He wanted immortality and bought lots of gifts I , for one , was curious since I came from a small village and accepted it and said I will try "
... " Relax , I'm getting to that point , the dying emperor tried to drink my blood , but it only killed him and they all started to fear me . They locked me up and I since I saw how the king reacted to my blood I used it to destroy the prison I was in "
... " You're right about that if you smash yourself through your prison , you get assaulted , so the only way to get you out is if I can shrink you , but still they did an amazing prison " ... " I know dear , Which is why I'm here to make sure you're treated right "
Lily gets the solution and manifests it " Alright Immortal , time to die , socially , politically , mentally and physically "
