Of course, that entire assumption depended on one very important question.
Had Lilith actually lost in the first place?
The more I thought about it, the less convinced I became that she had ever truly been defeated.
At first, the idea that she had been killed seemed reasonable enough. After all, that was the story everyone knew. Lilith had fought against the Seven Deadly Sins, lost, and been shattered into fragments. The explanation was simple, clean, and easy to understand.
The problem was that the more I learned about Lilith, the less that explanation made sense.
That feeling became especially apparent when I thought about her relationship with the Seven Deadly Sins.
If anything, it seemed far more likely that she had allowed herself to be killed.
Actually, even that explanation didn't sound entirely correct.
Perhaps "allowed herself to disappear" was the better way to describe it.
And then there was Lucielle.
