Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 257 Problems After Problems

Lilith and I left the room and headed back to my place in silence. There was so much that I wanted to say, but I didn\'t know how to say it. In the end, I just decided to go with the truth.

"I am sorry for everything that happened," I said as we floated into my room, and Lilith just shook her head.

"You have nothing to be sorry about; they are just worried about what will happen after we escape this place," Lilith reassured me as she sat down on my bed, and I joined her. "It has been a long time since anyone has had hope of escaping this place."

"I get that, but I will be bringing you all to a new dangerous planet. The Gideons are coming, but so are three Dragon Queens that are direct pieces of Tiamat herself. Just to add water to the oil fire, we have drawn the attention of the Cleaners. I will be basically taking you all from this somewhat peaceful place, even if it is a prison," I said with a sigh.

Lilith was silent for a moment as she mulled over my words before she finally spoke. "I think that it will be fine. Do not worry about what everyone is thinking; they are just worried about the future. Just focus on training and becoming stronger. That is all you can really do right now."

I nodded in agreement since Lilith was right. There was nothing else that I could really do at this point but train and become stronger so that I would be able to protect everyone when the time came.

"Thank you, Lilith," I said as she guided me to the bed where we had spent so much time talking lately. I felt like my relationship with her was starting to grow, but other than the mental connection we shared, there was very little physical.

I lay down next to Lilith as she put her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around me. It felt nice to finally have someone that I could rely on while I was here, even if our relationship was mostly platonic.

"Thank you for everything, Daniel," Lilith said as she stared up at me with silver-slitted eyes, and I couldn\'t help but smile.

"It is no problem; I am just happy that I can finally do something useful," I said as we just lay there in silence, staring at each other. There was so much that I wanted to say to her, but the words never seemed to come out right when they mattered most.

Eventually, we both fell asleep in each other\'s arms. Lilith had started sleeping in my room lately, and each night I thought more about how I could help her change back, but I still didn\'t know enough about how the Great Red Eye worked. I would just have to keep training and hope that I would be able to find a way to help her before it was too late.

A few weeks had passed since I met everyone, and things were starting to feel a little more normal. Everyone was still somewhat standoffish toward me, but they were at least talking to me now. Lilith had been spending most of her time with me lately, and I found myself really enjoying her company.

"What are you doing?" Lilith asked as she watched me from the door of my room. I was actually just about to come and find her for training.

"I was just about to come and find you for training," I answered as I floated over to her. "I have been thinking about what you said, and I want to try and change back your form."

Lilith was silent for a moment as she mulled over my words before she finally spoke. "I do not know if that is possible, but I am willing to try if it means that there is a chance that I could be myself again."

"Thank you," I said as we floated out of the room and made our way toward the training area. Along the way, we ran into Abraxas.

"Daniel, Lilith, do you have a moment?" Abraxas asked, and we both nodded before following him to his room, where he gestured for us to sit down.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, and Abraxas just shook his head.

"No, nothing is wrong. I just wanted to talk to you about your plans after we escape this place," Abraxas explained, and I frowned. Lilith and I had already talked about this, so I wasn\'t sure why he was bringing it up again.

"I have already told everyone that I can not make any promises right now, but I will do my best to ensure that everyone is able to live the life they want after we escape this place," I answered truthfully. I have also told Lilith that we have our own problems to deal with when I get out of here, but I think that this training will give me the advantages that I need."

"I see, and what about the humans? What are your plans for them?" Abraxas asked, and I frowned. This was something that Lilith and I had talked about at length, but we still hadn\'t come to a conclusion.

"I do not know yet," I admitted, "but whatever happens, I will make sure that they are able to live happy lives. I have relations with many of them, but there are many cruel ones that don\'t seem like they are willing to change."

"I see," Abraxas said, "but you must understand that many of us have been living in seclusion for so long that we do not know how to interact with humans anymore. We will need your help in this regard."

"I understand," I said, "and I will do my best to help everyone adjust to life on Earth. It will be a new experience for all of us, but I am sure that we can make it work."

"Thank you, Daniel," Abraxas said as he stood up from his seat and gestured for us to leave the room. Lilith and I both stood up and left the room before making our way toward the training area.
