There was no doubt that the current 'Mother of Devils, Lilith' was a lump of flesh.
The reason for this was likely that the First Generation Lucifer had gone mad with his experiments and turned his own wife into this state.
The Old Devil Kings were inherently insane and extremely brutal; such a thing was not unimaginable.
Regardless of all that, it had nothing to do with Rias.
What she needed was merely the existence named 'Lilith'—specifically, her position within the Pantheon and her own concept.
"Despite being the Mother of Devils, she's so pathetic... I remember the Lilith in Little Garden was also an unlucky soul. It feels like every Lilith is cursed. Are they all just simpletons..."
Rias complained.
The Lilith in Little Garden had multiple identities, one of which was a Celestial Spirit.
No, it should be said she was first the Earth Mother Goddess of Mesopotamian Mythology, then awakened as a Demon Star over a long period of time; the identity of Lilith was acquired later.
Algol, in the identity of Lilith, spread calamity across the Three Thousand Worlds and recklessly declared war on the Asuras, Gods, and Buddhas of those worlds.
Subsequently, she was beaten into a sorry state.
Later, she was rejected by the Biblical Pantheon of Little Garden and was instead taken in by greek mythology as her guardian.
She later opposed Athena, calling her an ugly woman, and was eventually decapitated by Perseus, who had been granted a Sacred Gear by Athena. She was then corrupted into a deity and sealed, becoming a part of the lore of greek mythology.
The Lilith of the High School DxD world was equally capable of causing trouble.
After becoming Adam's wife, she stole the fruit, then married the First Generation Lucifer, created the Devil race through Magic Formulas, and even gave birth to a son.
As for herself, she was turned into a lump of flesh. Before she could create high-level Devils on a large scale as war resources, she was dragged down into mutual destruction by God.
"Though you're an unlucky soul, it has nothing to do with me. For someone like you, classified as evil by the God of the Bible, it's better to die sooner."
Rias reached out gently, and then the Power of Destruction surged.
In an instant, the 'lump of flesh' named Lilith was destroyed by Rias.
Both body and soul were wiped clean, just like her son.
Within the flow of red demonic Power, a concept invisible to the naked eye was captured by Rias in the palm of her hand.
The Transcendent level basically involves developing the concepts contained within magical characteristics. For instance, Sirzechs's Devils True Form is itself equivalent to the will of 'Destruction'.
The Dragon God Level is stronger than Transcendents in two aspects.
One aspect is the concept; the Power of a Dragon God Level condenses a complete concept and turns that complete concept into physical Power.
For example, Ophis's Infinity allows her to make her own energy form a cycle, thereby possessing conceptually infinite magic Power.
The other aspect is the life form; the life form of a Dragon God is far higher in essence than that of a Transcendent.
To describe it using the Little GARDEN system, the difference in life form is like the gap between a five-digit rank and a four-digit rank.
If a Transcendent only has conceptual strength but their life form has not been sublimated, they are equivalent to an exceptional five-digit rank.
The life form corresponds to reishi, and the concept within the energy corresponds to Power.
Rias's life form had already reached the Dragon God Level, and her Power far exceeded the 'concepts' possessed by Dragon Gods, having already condensed fragments of Power.
And Power is the privilege of Two-Digit and Three-Digit ranks!
Even if her life form was lacking, there were indeed some things Rias could do.
For instance, containing the concept of 'Lilith'.
As Adam's ex-wife and Lucifer's current wife, she possessed the concept of the Mother of Devils.
At the same time, in the kabbalah tree of life, she also symbolized the guardian devil within it.
"Is the concept incomplete?"
Rias looked at the 'concept' held in her hand and couldn't help but murmur softly.
Although she possessed omnipotent characteristics, she was best at Destruction, and her second best was create.
It must be said that the Magic Formula Jibril used for the trade was a huge help!
Because she had extremely high manipulation over concepts, the highest level of existence Rias could create was the Dragon God Level.
However, Rias discovered that the concept of 'Lilith' was incomplete.
Whether it was the concept in the kabbalah tree of life or the concept of the Mother of Devils, both concepts were incomplete. Under these circumstances, she simply could not create a Dragon God Level 'Lilith'.
"What would happen if the qliphoth was complete?"
Rias murmured softly.
Although she didn't know what would happen, it would surely be very interesting.
"Then... let's experiment."
Coincidentally, Rias wanted to create a mythological 'trash can' to gather all the troublemakers from various Pantheons and then deal with them all at once.
If the high-ranking members of this 'trash can' were all her own people, it would be much more convenient to handle.
Both the protagonists and the villains are my people—scary, right?
Thinking of this, Rias extended both hands.
"Gather."
Rias placed her hands together in the air, condensing a red light in the center.
Rias's life form had been sublimated, and with the help of the Holy Grail and the Hōgyoku, Rias's magic Power had become omnipotent magic Power.
It not only contained all magical characteristics but also possessed other types of energy.
Magic Power, the Power of light, divine Power, the reishi of a Soul Reaper, the chakra of Naruto, the elemental energy from No Game No Life, the mana from Re:Zero, and so on.
Not only the unique Powers and concepts of the Biblical Pantheon and other Pantheons, but even the energy concepts of Other Worlds were controlled by Rias.
The energy sublimated through this was almost omnipotent. To some extent, it had reached the height of the God of the Bible, and might even have surpassed Him.
With this, simply gathering magic Power could achieve the desired effect, namely—
Creating life.
"Come forth, Hōgyoku, Magical Device: Holy Grail."
Three golden Holy Grails and the Hōgyoku, which radiated a brilliance like the starry sky, appeared in mid-air to mold a new life along with Rias.
Actually, the concepts contained within the Hōgyoku and the Holy Grail were already controlled by Rias, which meant she didn't need the Holy Grail or the Hōgyoku at all.
But in reality, the greatest role of tools is as an aid!
Using tools makes it easier, so why do it barehanded?
The red light gradually turned black, incredibly dark and profound.
As the Power gathered, it gradually became terrifying and violent.
Using the Sephirot of the qliphoth as the foundation, the concept of the Mother of Devils was merely an embellishment, mostly holding great significance for the nobles among the Devils.
With the concept as the core and the soul as the container for the concept, an abyss-like demonic nature was formed.
Following that was the create of the physical body; a perfect and alluring figure appeared before her.
The upper body was human, the lower body was a snake tail, and the hair was black and beautiful, radiating a demonic allure.
"I offer you my highest respect, my Master."
The demonic girl slowly knelt on the ground, her gaze filled with purity.
