《Empress' Evolution》39. Victory over their Hearts
Advertisement
The gift Lilith received from the Useless Goddess was not all-powerful, and proof of that was Lilith's bleeding face. She had already transformed into a Two Horn to increase her regeneration and yet the wound was still present on her cute visage.
Her MP had already been drained and couldn’t cast any spell. The only thing she could do was stop the bleeding, but Lilith didn't wipe the blood away.
It hurts, yes, but she can still work around the pain, she won't lose her consciousness for something so feeble.
'Tis but a scratch.' She said in her head. Pain was not something that could easily faze her.
She had already shown her capability to endure in the past.
Chief slowly walked over to Lilith and bent his knee. He looked at Lilith and lowered his head.
"I am a disgrace as a warrior, I have failed to protect the Priestess." He apologized to the injured young warrior priestess before him.
Lilith showed him a wide smile, "This oaf, worry not, it is only a scratch, far from taking the life of this Priestess. You have a more important job, announce the death of the Pixie Lord...”
"What? The Pixie Lord has been killed? How did you know?"
"You question me too much, I had backup plans and one of them worked as I had hoped. If you're wondering how I learned the Pixie Lord's death, it is because of the Goddess' Blessing — it's the Blessing," she repeated the “explanation” to make him understand.
",,,Alright."
Lilith used the ever so convenient excuse known as the Goddess. Lilith would not let the Goddess have her name spread without it doing anything.
'That little Useless Goddess give me nothing but trouble...well there are useful rewards but that’s it. She gives me too many troublesome quests.'
Lilith did not hate the Goddess, she just hated the Goddess' weak methods.
If the Goddess was truly a Goddess then she should have just turned Lilith into the most powerful being in the entire universe and then let her rule over every daemon.
Ting*. A letter from the Goddess has arrived.
[Note: Don't be like that, I am doing this for your sake if you become too strong all of sudden you won't be able to learn the ways of the daemons so live with it for now, okay? Besides, your Blessings and abilities are already at the tier of Gods, [Evolution Tracing] is one of the strongest cheats you know?]

Lilith sighed, thinking what the Goddess is doing at this time. She should be enjoying herself while eating some chips right? In the end, she's nothing like a Goddess at all.
While the Goddess was having fun with Lilith, Chief finally stepped up and went face to face with the Pixies. With the sword beside him, he shouted his intent.
"Your Lord has been killed you are now under the jurisdiction of the Ogres!"
Such is the announcement of Chief to the hundreds of Pixies. The Pixies looked at Chief with an unsatisfied expression on their faces. They glared at him and didn't want to believe her words.
"You are lying! The Lord received the blessing of the Red Moon, it is impossible to kill him!"
"That's right! You're lying!"
The Pixies were in doubt.
Lilith watched them shout and curse at Chief, but it was understandable. No matter how shitty a leader is, at some point, they still provided for a group. Many haters may arise, but there would always be those who followed the leader.
There are two ways to go over the whole situation, either kill the backers of the Pixie Lord or take away the faith they had on their so-called leader.
Lilith in her previous life used a lot of the first method. Though she only killed the aggressors and spared the others, it could be said that it was a mix of the two.
However, Lilith could no longer use her mixed method. First and foremost, she was not the leader of the Ogres, it was the Chief. The Ogres may appreciate bloodshed, but at the end of the day Lilith still had to look beyond the Ogres.
She’s the future Empress of the daemons, not Ogres.
Second, this is the world of daemons, not humans; in the society of humans, she controlled everyone through fear due to the help of her notoriety.
In this life, she’s not a human but a daemon, and her role is not a ruler in the shadows but become a beacon of light to the daemons. She must become a being that emanates hope and lead others to victory, someone who inspires others.
Seeing Chief holding his anger and desire to bash the noisy Pixies’ heads to a bloody pulp, Lilith inwardly nodded her head.
Seeing the Pixies, Lilith knew that either of the two options would not work, so she decided to go for the third.

The Priestess method!
"Chief, do it..."
" Listen! The Priestess of the Ogre Tribe, the one who planned the subjugation of the Pixies will now speak, disrespecting her means you are disrespecting the entire Ogre Tribe and your current predicament does not allow any displeasure —"
“Chief, that is enough, do not scare the lambs that had been misguided by the Pixie Lord.”
Lilith stood up from the ground and walked over to Chief. The Pixies saw Lilith and they momentarily shut their mouths, and then, Lilith finally opened her mouth to speak.
"Your hate is warranted for we have defeated your Lord, but it is now our duty to lead them. You must be afraid for you futures, for your lives, because you have long been under the rule of the Pixie Lord, this change is drastic and believing that we will not harm you would be difficult. If that is the case, then hear me now — in the name of our Ancestor Mawa, and the Goddess that I follow, I, Lilith Qurenara of the Ogre Tribe hereby declare my intention to be devoid of anything other than my desire to the betterment of the Pixies!"
Everyone was placed in a stupor. Blood was going down Lilith's face it was a pitiful sight, her pale complexion was enough to stab the hearts of the Ogres and Pixies.
This meek creature before them was risking herself just to give them peace of mind — Lilith gained their respect and sympathy.
'The Pixies never liked wars, to begin with, a child such as myself is the most appropriate weapon. Without the Pixie Lord ordering them, the walls in their hearts will crumble like a well-baked cookie. And with the blood caused by their Lord, they would be reminded of the tyrant giving me a better look to them… this is fun.' She found manipulating others using such a method rather amusing.
Thus, Lilith's preaching began.
"This war was started by the Pixie Lord, he wished to gain our territory and we retaliated as anyone would, I am but a mere child no older than 3, but as the Priestess, I have placed it upon my shoulders to look over my people.
"Open your hearts, let us end this war. Live in peace with one another, I know we are asking much, we know that many of you wish not to fight, thus, if you accept our wish for peace, I shall see to it that you are given protection."
Lilith's words caused the Pixies to swallow their saliva. Her words spoke of truth, but one last thing stands on her way...
"Do you think our fallen comrades, will let us do that? We Pixies value our kin as much as we value ourselves."
Drip!
A single tear escaped the child’s bloodied visage.
"Listen to me lost lambs, the Pixie Lord who you treated your kin sent you to your deaths to fulfill his greed! I have said we will protect you, but I know you feel doubtful of my words, but worry not, for the lives of the ones who attacked us have been kept."
The drooping heads of the Pixies suddenly propped up, and as their sight towards Lilith began softened, Lilith delivered the final blow.
"I have no intention of letting anyone die, I wish not for death but for life, follow us and we shall pave the way to a new life that is filled with the prosperity for both races!"
Her words struck the core values of the Pixies. They dropped on their knees, crying as they felt relieved. Lilith watched over them with an amicable smile.
It was like a benevolent Saint was before them.
Chief stared at Lilith with a bizarre expression.
'She is amazing, she's at least three to five steps ahead of me. She's amazing.'
Not only did Lilith won over the hearts of the Pixies, but Chief also opened his heart to the loli before him.
Lilith was about to achieve her goals, now she only had to evolve to an epic-tier and her debt would be wiped clean.
'Everything is going well.' She thought to herself. The number of pawns she had under control was increasing by the day.
At this time, the Forest of Beast met peace. However, on the other side of the Forest of Beast, something else is going on.
In the eastern area of the Forest of Beast, the sound of death is countering the orchestra of life Lilith produced.
And daemons from different parts of the Forest of Beast marched towards west. Towards the Ogres, and Pixies.

I'm still improving my skills, but I encourage you to enjoy it for what it's worth. ALSO, the whole plague thing was written about before the COVID pandemic. The plague is fake and actually magic in the story, but that has NOTHING to do with real world events. I am under NO CIRCUMSTANCE trying to make ANY kind of statement with it. Please just enjoy the story and stay safe.
