"I have given you the reaction you wanted, so will you now give me the answer I seek?" Amon asked.
"Of course, I'll give you the answer you want. After all, I'm not like some people who don't keep their word," Lynn said, looking at Amon's expressionless face with a hint of regret. He decided to draw a picture of Amon crying later, and then smiled, saying, "As a reward for playing along and making me so happy, I'll give you this piece of information—my last guardian's name was Sasrir."
Sasrir... Isn't that the true name of the True Creator? Bethel Abraham thought instinctively as he looked at Lynn. As a being born in the Third Epoch, Bethel Abraham naturally knew who the True Creator was, even though he wasn't familiar with him.
But the term 'previous guardian'... Does that mean I am the current one? Bethel Abraham suddenly felt a stomachache. Although he didn't know the exact meaning of 'guardian,' he could guess from the surface. Reflecting on his recent life and the outrageous behavior of a certain brat, he felt a connection with the True Creator, transcending time.
Sasrir also took care of this little Ancient being?
Bethel couldn't help but glance at Lynn. Though he wouldn't know, despite enduring double trouble from the brat, Sasrir's situation was somewhat better because Lynn truly considered Sasrir as his guardian. Even though he hated work, he still helped Sasrir with his official duties.
But Mr. Door's current treatment with Lynn... Saying he was purely a tool might be an exaggeration, but it could at best be described as an ordinary friendship. This also had to do with Mr. Door's attitude towards Lynn. He didn't truly treat Lynn as a child but maintained a relationship more based on mutual benefit.
Mr. Door remembered Lynn's kindness and hoped for his help with the Cosmos matter. Yet, knowing Lynn's power, he was inevitably more respectful and distant. This wasn't wrong, but it's similar to how 'The World' could be friends with Miss Justice and the others, but 'The Fool' couldn't be a friend to the members of the Tarot Club. This power gap did affect their interaction.
Perhaps this gap could be bridged in the future, but for now, it remained. Lynn's attitude towards Mr. Door mirrored Mr. Door's own. Lynn might not even realize it, but his treatment of others often reflected their treatment of him. If kindness was shown, he returned it in kind. If malice was shown, he reciprocated in kind.
For those who neither showed kindness nor malice, Lynn was indifferent. For example, he didn't care about the Demonic Wolf. He only chose to destroy it because he had sided with the light, and evil needed to be eradicated.
This was a rational decision, not an emotional one. If there was any exception, it might be Lynn's slight compassion for all beings after choosing to stand in the light.
But in a way, wasn't this an extension and feedback of the kindness given to him by his old friend?
Sasrir, I seem to have heard that name before... The Death Consul Azik frowned, trying to recall. As a Sequence 2, his knowledge wasn't as extensive as the other two angels but he vaguely remembered the name mentioned by the God of Death.
Sasrir... Hearing this familiar yet long-unheard name, even Amon was taken aback. He instinctively adjusted his monocle and looked at Lynn, saying, "I never heard Sasrir mention you."
"But I am not lying, you can see that, can't you?" Lynn smiled at Amon and continued, "I'll give you another piece of information for free. You should have guessed I know someone you are familiar with. I can tell you clearly, he calls me brother."
"I don't remember him having a brother like you," Amon said, staring at Lynn.
"There are many things you don't know. But you'll have to find out the truth yourself. Good luck, Amon. Believe in yourself, you can do it!" Lynn said, initially with a mysterious and serious expression like a skilled charlatan but ended up in his usual tone.
"Haha..." Amon chuckled coldly.
"Alright, alright, we've been out long enough. It's time to go back. Unless Amon, you want to continue wandering around the capital of Balam with me?" Lynn stretched and said casually. After speaking, he looked at Amon with a hint of eagerness.
"Since you want to go back and rest, I'll naturally follow your lead," Amon adjusted his monocle, returning to his usual carefree demeanor, smiling.
Lynn looked disappointed but then turned to the Death Consul Azik, saying, "I don't mind if you tell the God of Death about today, but a friendly reminder: don't assume Amon's child form means you can do anything to him!" His tone was gentle, but the warning was clear.
It was indeed a reminder. After all, Amon hadn't truly lost his power and could break the seal if in danger. Lynn liked messing with Amon but had no intention of killing him.
That would be unfair to Sasrir. Plus, if Amon died, wouldn't that mean no more fun in teasing him? That would make life so dull!
…
"Now, Amon should behave for a while. By the time he breaks the seal, my aftereffects should be completely gone. Then, hehe, I can give him another surprise." In the Fifth Epoch, Lynn touched his chin, showing a malicious smile.
Then Amon will understand what it means: You think I'm a weakling who relies on Mr. Door? Wrong, I can beat you up!
With Sequence 0-level power, dealing with an Outer God might be difficult, but beating an King of Angel is easy.
While Lynn was gleefully imagining the next time he would mess with Amon, he suddenly seemed to hear something and froze.
