We numerically investigate a deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) that happens between Neel and valence bond solid phase in a 3-dimensional loop model. Amazingly, this DQCP is an Liftshitz tricritical point due to an explicit lattice symmetry breaking term. This perturbation breaks lattice translational symmetry as well as a mirror-reflection symmetry whereas production of these two operations leave system invariant, hence only an additional vector potential term is coupled to the non-linear sigma model in IR theory. A helical valence bond solid state with spatially modulated valence bond order parameter separates VBS and Neel state due to this explicit vector potential, and a continuous phase transition between Neel and HVB state is simply described by the criticality of DQCP with an emergent Lorenz invariance in IR limit.
