We knew that in the beginning of the fight though… Didn’t we? I mean, I said once the fight began that the whole reason Phil was fighting Lilith was because they wanted to stress test his Null abilities but… was that ever actually said or did I predict the future?
Pretty much. From our side of things, this looked like nothing more than Lilith being all “I wanna beat up the nerd without his stupid stick!” till this point.
Wouldn’t say that just yet. Lilith is a lesbian and pretty sure Lien is the girl she is most interested in. So her doing Lien a favor doesn’t really make any less of a loose canon.
“You must be stronger if you wish to defeat me! Go, train against my minions!”
There are villains like that. They WANT a good tough fight. They want to be defeated, but the one who defeats them has to be stronger than them. Sometimes its done as a “You’ve won, hero. But the world is still broken. It needs a new Dark Emperor. You.” situation.
Like Younger Toguro in Yu Yu Hakusho and Sensui after him. Both were death seekers (particularly Toguro out of guilt for failing to protect his students) looking for an opponent powerful enough to defeat and kill them in battle and didn’t mind trying to make their killer given the opportunity.
Oh? So perhaps Lilith isn’t JUST a loose cannon! She was a loose cannon with a PURPOSE! Sneaky Lien. Very sneaky.

the story telling heavily implied this was a power up event for Phil but it was never said out right Lien was behind it

Bigger question to you both Did Lien use Lilith as a guinea pig/sacrifice to power Phil up and get data on the Null?

Oh, I meant more-so Lien sneaking it in as a way to do research/training on Phil. Not so much on Lilith. =D
“Deja Vu! Phil has just been in this place before” eurobeat intensifies
I feel like my profile pic is relevant to this.
XD I was mere 8 hours late
Oh-ho, so it seems Lilith *wasn’t* just being crazy-aggressive just for the heck of it!
They needed to simulate a true danger scenario, at least make Phil think he was in real danger
wait wasn’t he if he wasn’t careful?
Not how his power works
no I meant about the danger of fighting Lilith
Ego status : crushed
It’s actually kinda cute how Lilith wanted to help Phil improve.
It would not supprise me if some of her own motive swern’t involved a swell, help him improve and get to pound on him too, win win.

help improve I though she just wanted to beat something up that she couldn’t break?
well….damn…..imma sit in the corner of shame for being prejudiced against Lilith.
Not the only one.
