Jormungand laughed joyfully, his scales spreading as he extended countless tentacles—anything in the room that he judged to be edible would be swept up by the tentacles and sent into that blood-colored maw, an abyss that could never be filled.
Crunch! Crunch!
The sound of bones and flesh being crushed together.
Drip! Drip!
The sound of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Splat! Splat!
The sound of hair, clothes, other inedible parts being spat out.
..
At this sight, not to mention the Followers remaining in the room, even the surviving Vampires and Ogres were terrified—
That thing! That terrible thing—
Since you follow Lilith and view humans as food, it is only natural that you must also accept the fate of becoming food for a higher-level lifeform one day in the future.
"Wood," he announced coldly.
At this moment, his eyes flashed with electric light, his entire body radiated an aura so powerful it was incomprehensible: "Accept your fate! From the moment you obeyed Lilith's orders to issue a challenge to me!"
“No—!”
—Save me!
No!
The remaining Vampires and Ogres screamed frantically.
"Wood" dismissed this with contempt, the Holy Sword in his hand slowly—
They have indeed done something unforgivable, but please, for my sake, let them go!
A Dark Voice rang out, the blood on the ground slowly gathered, transforming into a Mysterious Man with a White Long Scarf wrapped around his neck.
Or rather—
Lilith's Lover, the Progenitor of Bloodline.
Cain.

Chapter 58 Lilith's Seduction (11)
Cain?
Wood" sneered at him, lightning flashing in his eyes: "What exactly is your stance! Is it Lilith, or—us?
My stance is myself.
Cain lowered his head slightly, his attitude humble: "I hope that I can maintain eternal independence, belonging neither to Lilith nor to you."
Eternal independence?
Wood" sneered, "Since you have chosen eternal independence, why have you appeared here?
They are my kin. I want you to hand them over to me for processing; I will punish them according to the penal code I have established.
Cain's voice was very gentle and slow, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance and majesty.
Please do not interfere in our world in your capacity as an outsider.
They provoked us first! They even wanted to devour Father! What they are getting now.. is entirely their own doing!
Realizing that Wood was being threatened, Jormungand opened his blood-stained maw and mocked Cain mercilessly.
If you truly long to maintain your eternal independence, you should not have appeared when they were being punished! You should have waited quietly to the side, only offer your Sorry once I have finished devouring them—they no longer have the right to live, anyway.
“—I need to maintain the dignity of my power as the ruler of this world as much as possible.”
Cain said with a hint of helplessness, "Even if they commit unforgivable mistakes, they are still my followers. I should be the one to personally strip them of their lives, rather than—"
[What's the point of saying all this! They're just a bunch of damn Dirty Things anyway!]
Jormungand shut his massive maw in disdain, more blood leaking through the gaps in his teeth.
[Eating them is the best punishment for them!]
“——!”
Cain was furious, black flames erupted behind him.
“Jormungand—”
[Do you want to have a direct confrontation with me?]
Jormungand lifted his eyelids, acting as if it were nothing.
You should know that at this moment, I am only one ten-thousandth of my complete self.
“..”
After a brief silence, Cain looked at Wood: "Can you leave the survivors to me to deal with?"
You still want to save them?
Wood" was puzzled: "But they are—
I am sorry.
Cain lowered his head again: "But I have no other choice."
Why?
Because—
Cain looked up, holding a small crystal vial filled with red liquid in his hand.
Click!
The crystal bottle shattered.
In an instant, Wood woke up within the protective coils of Jormungand, his green eyes gazing blankly at the scene around him, which was covered in blood and flesh, as well as the sight of Jormungand and Cain facing each other in a furious confrontation.
—What happened? Why do I feel like.. like..
Another you just came out.
Cain said with feigned leisure, "We took the opportunity to discuss the past and reach a consensus."
What consensus?
Wood asked curiously, "What consensus have you reached?"
“The consensus is—”
Cain's lips curled slightly, forming an evil crescent shape.
Don't believe a word he says, he is no good!
Jormungand roared in anger.
Wood, however, wanted to hear Cain finish what he was saying: "What kind of consensus have you reached with the other me inside your body?"
We have decided—to cooperate to kill Lilith! To seal him away forever!
Sorry, I refuse!
Why?
Because—
Wood did not believe he had the ability to kill Lilith, besides—
I want to remain myself.
—What did you say?
I know there is another 'me' inside my body. Almost everyone around me loves the other 'me' inside my body more than the me standing before you. In fact, lately, I have frequently lost control of my body for a while due to uncontrollable factors—if my guess is correct, during the time I lose consciousness, the one using my body is the other 'me' inside my body, right?
Wood murmured, "I'm scared.. I'm truly terrified.."
Please provide the Chinese paragraph you would like me to translate.
Yes, I'm afraid—I'm afraid that the current 'me' is just another 'me' inside this body, a false personality created by the so-called real 'me' to achieve some purpose.. I'm afraid that one day, 'I' will disappear completely.. I.. I.. I don't know what the other 'me' thinks, nor do I know what kind of existence He truly is, but I know—if the other 'me' inside my body takes control of my body for a long time, there is a possibility that the current me will disappear completely—so—I refuse!
Please provide the Chinese paragraph you would like me to translate.
Cain sighed with a hint of regret, his body dissolving into scattering droplets of blood.
..
After Cain left, Jormungand quickly eliminated the Vampire and Ogre at the scene, then gently released the body he had been entwined around to protect.
Papa—
I am not your Papa.
Wood said in a low voice, "The other soul within my body is your Papa.. at least, that is how it seems for now.."
[No, that's not what I really meant..]
Jormungand gradually shrank his body, turning back into a fluffy and cute Black Cat, before leaping into Wood's arms, his soft head gently nuzzling Wood's nape.
Due to the ancient covenant, Jormungand could not reveal the truth to Father for the time being, but there was one thing I could swear—you truly are our Papa, the Papa who sired us.
“Birthed..”
Wood gasped again.
In Norse Mythology, there are indeed records of Loki giving birth, but—Jormungand, Fenrir, Hela are the children born to Loki and the giantess Angrboda!
Loki is the father of the three children, not their mother!
[Yes, you gave birth to us~]
Jormungand Cat stuck out his tongue and gently licked Wood's neck with a slightly sandpaper-like texture.
