"If Mother was simply careless enough to leave all of this behind for us to find, then that's all there is to it," Beelzebub said. "It would just mean Mother got careless and accidentally exposed her secret to us. The secret about destroying this world itself. But if that's really the case, then we're the idiots for assuming she would've left something that important behind for us to discover in the first place."
I fell completely silent after hearing that.
Honestly, I couldn't believe she had just called herself an idiot without even hesitating for a second. Hearing that come from one of the Seven Deadly Sins felt surprisingly strange, almost like listening to a king casually admit he forgot where he left his crown.
"Well, Lilith is definitely planning something if she managed to pull off something like this," I said after gathering my thoughts.
"In the end, we're nothing more than pieces on her game board, aren't we?"
I couldn't really argue with that conclusion anymore.
