Jin Skyward's Soliloquy

...

"After the Great War between the three factions, I was injured severely, so I slipped into hiding. However, since I did not have any assistance, I was near death's door. But, one day a certain woman came to me and offered to heal me. But I was tricked, and my flesh became THAT and I was stuck like that for many, many years."

"At the time I was just desperate. I had lost most of the things that I owned, even though I never 'loved' my husband, the original Lucifer, he was the only thing that came close to 'understanding' me. So it left me confused and without purpose for weeks, but..."

Lilith squinted her eyes at the tea that was in front of her. "I now know who helped me all those years ago. Nyarlathotep, she is the one who created Lapis, Ignia, Frieza and Meruem, was she not? Regardless, I was stuck in that flesh prison for years—no one found me until this year."

"The God of the Dead, that piece of—excuse me. Hades, he was the one using my flesh and blood for his experiments. However, one day Lapis came over and decided to give me a new body. I am thankful to her, but I did not like that place. The original Satans, the other [Malebranche] and other factions of that organization were there and it was suffocating."

"...Over time while I was trapped in that prison, I had thought about a lot of things. Devils are meant to be evil, right? We were meant to do bad and evil deeds... that's what Lucifer told us, so the original devils did just that—though there were outliers, like Runeas Gremory who was quite eccentric and a few others."

Lilith smirked at the thought of Runeas but then continued with a sour expression. "Once I was resurrected, I met a few others that were also resurrected, a few historical figures that were known or not, did you know, Hitler was resurrected too? He wants to annihilate current Germany and the Norse Pantheon."

"What the fuck?!" shouted Saji. He wasn't the only one in shock as many of us were a bit stunned by this revelation. Though he did get smacked on the head by both Ruruko and Sona for cursing.

"Hitler, huh...? I never expected that," I said.

"There are a few more, but I am not certain about them, but I believe Genghis Khan is also alive," she added, sipping her tea.

"Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan, I wonder how powerful they are now? Especially if they learned magic or were given an Artificial Longinus or Sacred Gear," asked Kira.

So some of the most evil figures in human histories may be alive too... I can confidently assume that they've at least drank the blood then. Alright, how about a few of the operations they may have? Or at least the other factions' plans. She has to know something about them, right?

"So..." I asked her about those and she sat there thinking about my question for a few seconds.

"I was mainly a recluse, however, once I started to plan my escape, I started looking into a lot of things since I knew you would ask me about them. But I suspected a few of them became suspicious of my sudden interest so they did not tell me everything. However, before I answer, please tell me of what you know already."

I nodded and told her what we knew and what Avezza told us, what Yanuyo told us and that I had captured Rubicante and whatever he may know.

Lilith shook her head and said, "He won't be much of use. He mostly picked fights with many of the members of the organization. He prided himself in his strength, his flames, and his magma. He only took part in meetings if he felt like it—though, you may find something about the [Malebranche] if you ask him, or read his memories."
