He was gritting teeth. The yaks needed him. His friends needed him. But, now he was stuck here. He couldn’t fight them. Fighting even one of her guards would be a struggle right now even with the strength he had gotten. The idea of attacking her crossed his mind. If he could kill her then all of this would be over. Cut off the head of the snake and all that. Yet, even with that thought in his mind. That almost seem suicidal. She had this…aura. This overwhelming strength that he couldn’t see past. It was different from his Ancestor’s strength. Yet at a similar level…was there no end to her strength.

The man in front of him known as Sinbad gave bow to Anon, gesturing him towards the table. Anon gave a look but moved forward towards the table. Taking a seat across from Lilith. He offered her only a glare as her guard surrounded them. Lilith didn’t speak. She gave a wave of her hand for her honor guard to give them space.

“But, my lady…” The woman in knight armor spoke out.

“It’s quite alright, Arthoria. This is just a talk right Anon?” Lilith finally spoke. The voice was quiet. A whisper on wind that weighed down.

Anon nodded as his reply. Arthoria shot a look towards him. Anon glared back without breaking his composer. “Please listen to what she has to say. I know it may be hard to hear but, actually listen to her please.” She spoke before giving Lilith bow and back away the rest of the guard back away as well. The green haired woman gives a huff and Sinbad simply crosses his arms behind his back as they give the table some distance.

“First and foremost thank you for speaking to me. I know our relationship didn’t start off on the best foot. Would you like some tea?” She asked as if she was speaking to an old friend. She was calm, relaxed as if a thorn in her side for the last few weeks wasn’t seated across from her.

Anon was already grinding his teeth at her. She was this close to him. A woman murdered, enslaved and conquered anyone would get in her way. Maybe he could do it. He just needed a mortal wound. One solid blow to her head or heart. He didn’t show it on his face. Letting out a single breath to calm his thoughts.

“I have somewhere to be. So let’s skip the pleasantries shall we…and you get part where I don’t want to put your head through this table.” He could only hold back vile for so long.

That’s when his body locked up, a green aura appeared around his body locking him place. He flexed his muscle trying to escape was this her trap. He…couldn’t move. Even as he strained. “Hey blockhead, she is trying to be nice to you. We could cream the floor with you with ease. I could have done it all by myself. She wanted to talk to you. Be grateful.” The green-haired woman spoke in an annoyed tone.

Anon could move his eyes enough to see a green aura around her hand that locked him in place. It was some kind of weird mental energy. Was she a psychic?
Lilith raised another hand. “That’s quite alright Tatsumaki. If I were in his situation. I might feel some….aggression. Please release him.”

Tatsumaki huffed again, lowering her hand as the tension broke around Anon's body. He let out a heavy breath. Sweat rolled down his cheek. This was worse than he thought. Could he get away now? He kept his focus on the source of his anger.

“Let me ask you some Anon. Do you know why I am doing all of this?” She asked, tilting her head.

“I don't. I am assuming it because you want to rule over everything or you get your sick kicks out of it.” That was true. He didn’t know why. It never really mattered to him. He saw her handy work. Enslaving people…making them bend to her will using force if needed. He didn’t feel the reason to fight against a tyrant.

Arthoria took offense to Anon words gritting her own teeth. Lilith however, only laughed. Chuckling at his words as if he had said some kind of joke. “Nothing that simple. I am afraid. All the people around us were just like you when I came to their worlds. They fought back at first and then I showed them what I fight against. So they joined me. I am not a threat here Anon.”

“What are you talking about?” Anon spoke. She had piqued his interest.

“There is something coming that threatens…the whole of existence. I have seen with my own eyes. In the world I come from I was a great Oracle. One cast her vision beyond the stars…and I saw something horrible. Something that cares not for life or peace. I took up my banners going world to world with power I had massed. I have gained much strength in my time but it is still not enough. This world has what I need. An unlimited amount of magical power within the planet itself.” Her words were focused and held weight to Anon’s ears.

“....” Anon’s fist tightened. “How do I know you are not lying? How do I know you have brain washed these people into believing you?” He paused looking at her. “And…even if that is the case…..you can’t just hurt innocent people just to justify your actions.” He slammed his fist into the table causing it to shake. He could feel his rage boiling over thinking of all the people who she has hurt.

All of the guards except for Sinbad went on the defensive but Lilith raised another hand to calm them. “They didn’t believe at first until I showed them. Would you like to see it, Anon? Maybe then you talk your friends down. Show them this is the only way. Luna saw it my way.” She offered her pale hand towards Anon.
