"It's challenging to articulate in words, but the wild realm is essentially a place where those who have fallen out of favor in heaven or hell often end up. It serves as a purgatory for all sorts of miscreants and outcasts from different worlds," the witch confidently explained, drawing closer to Haemon and allowing her hand to graze his chest, feeling his heart pounding with rage. "So, you desire to resurrect a woman, do you? Ha-ha, I wonder if Hel is aware that your heart already belongs to another!" she flirtatiously taunted, dangerously close to the warrior. Her predatory smile suggested that unless he took action, she would seize the opportunity and consume him whole.

"Divorce and the role of a mother!" Lilith answered before receiving a punch to the face. The warrior intended to strike the demoness once more but halted when she made a "timeout" gesture. "Wait, before you turn my face into mush! I want to tell you that I possess the power to bring back to life anyone who is dear to you!" the demoness quickly and loudly proclaimed, observing as Haemon's fist drew closer to her lips. The blow stopped just before impact, and in gratitude for sparing her, Lilith kissed him. Haemon swiftly rose to his feet, extending a helping hand. With a serious expression that conveyed his willingness to kill if she was lying, he asked, "Are you capable of resurrecting someone killed by the Primordial?"

"Who are you truly?" the Olympian demanded angrily, delivering a precise strike to the head. It would be reasonable to expect the woman to retreat, but like a panther, she evaded the warrior's attack effortlessly and countered with a powerful blow to his jaw.

"Well, Hel, please, don't torment me. Just tell me everything as it is!" Lilith purred, moving closer to her friend. "My answer is no! I'm not going to divulge such details to you!" Hel declared angrily. She wanted to add something else, but she immediately stopped when she noticed her friend's eyes turning completely black, resembling an endless abyss. Hel sensed danger, though not mortal, and turned away, shielding her eyes with her hands. "Hel, let me help you!" Lilith spoke in a gentle and affectionate voice. She reached out to touch Hel's face and tried to turn her towards her, so they could lock eyes, but it was in vain. Hel didn't budge, attempting to distance herself from Lilith. Squinting her eyes tightly, the queen tried to push Lilith away, but the demoness stood her ground, only slightly swaying back from the queen's attempt.

As the laughter subsided, Lilith gazed at Hel with a mixture of amusement and concern. "My dear Hel, trust the wisdom of one who has been a mother many times over. Children, even in part, inherit traits from their parents. And your child, I must say, bears no resemblance whatsoever to the brutish father!" Lilith pointed her finger at the child and then proceeded to mock Haemon, mimicking his muscular figure in a taunting manner. "And I highly doubt your black heart desires your child to resemble his father, am I right?" Lilith's words struck at the core of Hel's deepest fears, for they held an undeniable truth, no matter how twisted it may be. After all, who in their right mind would wish to bring into the world a creature as monstrous and deranged as Haemon? No mother would desire such a fate and burden for her child, especially one as tormented as Hel.
