As Athena approached the pool, she felt the oppressive weight of the Cerberus's gaze, even though its eyes remained half-closed, seemingly indifferent to her presence.
The towering beast, with its three massive heads, regarded her like an ant, insignificant and hardly worth its attention. But as she drew closer, one of its enormous eyes lazily opened, a deep, hellish glow emanating from within. The Cerberus shifted slightly, its colossal form rustling as it considered the tiny figure approaching the sealed pool.
Before leaving her Hell beast baby behind, now known as A47, Athena turned to Virgil, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Is it possible to sneak through the cracks in the skeleton seal?"
Virgil shook his head, his expression grave. "No, the seal is impenetrable. The only way to free Lilith is to corrupt the Aborted Blood with the blood of the living. A single drop of your blood in that pool, and Lilith will be free."
