My further adventures

An old friend returns

Later in another part of the afterlife, the masked man was interrogating another man.

"Where is Lilith?"

"I don't know," the poor man cried, "I don't know anything."

"Wrong answer. Erase!"

The masked man held out his palm, and a black energy shot from it.

The energy hit the man, and he screamed in pain.

His body dissolved into nothing.
The man then looked at a nearby wall.

"You can't hide from me, Lilith. I will find you. And when I do, you will die."

Lilith watched from a distance.
At the gate between the afterlife and the human world, Lilith and I were talking to Charon, the ferryman.

"Hey, Charon," I said, "how are things going?"

"Not bad," said Charon, "business has been steady. More and more souls have been crossing the river lately."

"Listen," said Lilith, "We need some information. Someone has been erasing people in the afterlife, and we don't know who is doing it."

"Really," said Charon, "do you think this has anything to do with the writing on the wall?"

"It must," said Lilith, "it just has to. I've been keeping an eye on things, and whoever is doing this is very powerful. We have to find them and stop them before anyone else gets erased."

"Alright," said Charon, "but why is this guy trying to kill Lilith?"

"Well," said Lilith, "like I said before, I'm not popular. I'm sure there are many people in the multiverse who want me dead. Some people are not as forgiving as Bill."

"Bill! Lilith!" Said a voice, "The killer is escaping the afterlife!"
It was Hades.

"Who is he?"

"He's wearing a mask, I can't tell. All I know is that I saw him erasing the guards. We have to stop him!"

"Let's go," I said as Lilith and I teleported to the South Gate.

The masked man was erasing more guards, and a line of souls were running in terror.

"Who are you," I said, "Why are you doing this?"

"Because Lilith killed me," the masked man growled, "she's a murderer. I will have my revenge!"

"Please don't do it, it's not worth it. Lilith is a changed woman, I took the evil influence out of her heart."

"I think I care about that Mr. Hero of the multiverse?! She needs to die, and I will have my revenge."

Lilith stepped forward.

"Who are you? I demand to know who are you!"

The masked man removed his mask, and revealed himself to be none other than Adam, Lilith's ex-husband.

"Adam?!" Lilith gasped, "Is it really you? But why are you erasing people here?"

"You killed me, Lilith!" Adam growled, "You also kill Eve and God. You took Eden away from us."

Lilith thought about this for a moment, it was true. Adam and God had both turned on her and casted her into hell.

"That's not entirely my fault." Lilith said, "Adam, all I wanted was so know what it feels like to be on top. Why couldn't you or God let me experience it just once? Why were you so selfish. Why was God so selfish and narcissistic? You always told me how God was all loving, but you didn't even bother to listen to my side of the story. You both betrayed me and casted me into hell. It's true I had no reason to kill Eve, I became a monster. I won't deny that, I can't undone what I did. Bill gave me a second chance, and now I have changed my ways. What would killing innocent people solve?"
