Jin Hwa, intrigued by Lilith's revelations, leaned forward in his room. "So, Lucifer turned his remaining demonic energy into a relic ball to escape the gods' onslaught?"
Lilith nodded, "Exactly. It was chaos in hell even though it's naturally is, but our lord managed to save himself using that relic. Beelzebub ordered the demons to stall for time, giving Lucifer the chance to escape."
Jin Hwa, now more engaged in the story, asked, "What about the sin of wrath? Did he manage to behead one of the gods?"
Lilith chuckled, "He certainly had the spirit. But as they retreated, the gods merely laughed. The sin of wrath's fiery determination didn't waver, though."
Curiosity gleamed in Jin Hwa's eyes as he inquired, "So, what happened to that relic ball? Where is it now?"
Lilith grinned mischievously, "It's in you."
Jin Hwa, baffled, couldn't hide his confusion. "In me? How is that even possible?"
Lilith, with a casual air, clarified, "It's the system, you crackhead. Beelzebub created it using Lucifer's demonic energy. That relic ball is part of the system, and it's inside you now."
As Jin Hwa descended the stairs, prepared for another day, the flickering glow of the television caught his attention. The news broadcast filled the room, detailing a grave announcement from the world government. The anchor's voice conveyed a sense of urgency as they warned the global populace to remain vigilant.
"The divine hunters are dead," the anchor declared, a weighty revelation echoing through the air. "The cause of their demise remains unknown, but the world government is certain that the devil is responsible."
Jin Hwa's gaze fixed on the screen, absorbing the gravity of the situation. The unexpected turn of events sent ripples of uncertainty throughout the world, and he couldn't help but feel a connection to the unfolding chaos, knowing that Lilith's presence had disrupted the divine hunters' plans.
As the news continued to unfold, Jin Hwa pondered the repercussions of this revelation, realizing that the intricate web of celestial affairs was now intertwined with the very fabric of his existence. The ordinary life he once knew seemed to slip further away with each passing moment.

In the dimly lit meeting room, Baek Eun Woo, the world president, faced a somber assembly of government officials. The weight of the recent events hung heavy in the air, casting a pall over the room.
"Our connection to the divine hunters has been severed," Baek Eun Woo announced, his voice measured. "Jeongwon, the representative of Zeus, was found lifeless in the Korean mountains. His torso brutally severed, a canvas of slash marks painted across his body."
As the room absorbed the chilling details, Baek Eun Woo continued with a hint of unease, "Further investigations reveal another revelation from the gods, one that we cannot release to the public. The situation has escalated, and our understanding of the unfolding events remains incomplete."
Amidst the tension in the meeting room, Baek Eun Woo's voice cut through the air, revealing the weight of a crucial revelation. "In a communication from Athena himself, we've been forewarned about an imminent war stirring. Action is needed on our part."
As he delivered this information, the room erupted into a debate. Some argued for transparency, advocating the need to inform the public and initiate evacuations. Others, more cautious, highlighted the complexity and potential consequences of divulging such sensitive details.
Baek Eun Woo, caught in the crossfire of opinions, turned to the other presidential figures in the room, seeking consensus. The stakes were high, and the decision on whether to reveal Athena's warning would shape the course of events for nations and citizens alike. The room, a microcosm of the global dilemma, echoed with the murmurings of strategic minds grappling with an unprecedented challenge.

In the bustling classroom, the teacher's voice echoed, breaking the ambient chatter. "Good morning, class. Today, we have a new student. Please introduce yourself."
A voice unfamiliar to the students resonated through the room. "Hello, nice to meet you all. I'm Rin Hwa Young."
The teacher directed Rin to an empty seat, gesturing towards Jin Hwa. "You can sit there, beside Mr. Jin Hwa."
As Rin settled into the seat next to Jin Hwa, a wave of disbelief washed over him. "What?! What's Lilith doing here?" he thought, eyes narrowing. Jin Hwa couldn't conceal his surprise, and as Rin grinned, a faint laughter danced in the air.
"What are you doing here?" Jin Hwa whispered sternly.
Lilith, now masquerading as Rin, responded casually, "Hmm, why? I just want to experience high school life, you know?"
Jin Hwa, increasingly agitated, pressed further. "That's not the problem here. What will happen if they find out you're a demon?"
Lilith chuckled, revealing his plans. "Heh, don't worry. I conceal my aura, so nobody could notice. Kekeke." The classroom continued its usual rhythm, unaware of the supernatural presence blending seamlessly into their midst.
As the day unfolded, the classroom buzzed with activity, and afternoon shadows stretched across the floor. Jin Hwa, preparing to leave, felt a tap on his shoulder. Rin (Lilith) casually suggested, "Want to go home together?"
Jin Hwa hesitated, aware of the potential rumors. "They might think something..."
Lilith dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand. "You're overthinking. What's so weird about it? Anyways, I'll go along with you. We're under the same roof, after all."
Despite lingering uncertainties, they left together. The scene then transitioned to the palace of the Greek gods, where Athena shared the revelation with Baek. Apollo approached Athena, stating, "I heard your plan failed."
Athena, already on edge, snapped back, "Don't fuel my anger!"
Apollo reassured her, "Easy, sis. I'm not here to fuel anything. I have a proposal. What if, instead of using humans to contain our power and kill the vessel, we cause chaos where the vessel lives? Let's create a dungeon rift in Seoul, releasing a bunch of monsters."
Intrigued, Athena leaned in, ready to discuss Apollo's provocative plan further.
