As everyone knows, Amon's first official appearance in the original novel is during this incident at the True Creator's Temple.
According to the original novel's plot development, Little Sun Derrick would be selected for the next exploration of the True Creator's Temple in Silver City. Since Elder Lovia is leading this time, it is almost certain that the journey will be extremely perilous. Under the persuasion of Alger and other members of the Tarot Club, Little Sun Derrick decides to feign a poor condition and risk of losing control to avoid the mission.
And indeed, Alger, being the sly fox he is, proposed a very feasible plan. Little Sun successfully avoided the fatal mission, being isolated at the bottom of the round tower to receive treatment through medication, rituals, and mystical items.
Who would have thought that right next to Little Sun Derrick, there was an avatar of Amon who had been lying in wait for forty-two years? Because Little Sun was attending the meeting at the Tarot Club in the Sefirah Castle, Amon naturally discovered Little Sun's uniqueness and parasitized him.
Although this avatar was later successfully removed by Mr. Fool, as everyone knows, when you discover one Amon avatar, it means the air around you is filled with Amon. So even though the avatar parasitizing Little Sun was removed, Mr. Fool also entered Amon's sight.
As for Lynn, he is not too worried about Little Sun's safety. Not because he trusts Amon's character, but because he knows very well that before officially capturing Mr. Fool and obtaining the coveted Sefirot, Amon would not easily destroy Little Sun, the only clue related to the Sefirot. This is probably one of the reasons why Amon never attacked Silver City in the original novel.
Killing Little Sun or others in Silver City wouldn't bring Amon any benefit. Keeping them alive, however, could serve as a means to find Mr. Fool or even they could be used as hostages to make Mr. Fool hesitate.
Lynn is also not worried about Amon coming after him. Although it would add some trouble to his relaxed and enjoyable life of raising cats, he had gotten used to harassing Amon in the Fourth Epoch, so he didn't have much fear of the troublemaker.
—If he really comes, just beat him up like in the Fourth Epoch!
'It's a pity that Bethel's corruption hasn't been resolved, Medici has only just reached Sequence 2, and Antigo is still mad in the foggy town. It's really troublesome not having a tool man...'
Lynn propped his chin with one hand and sighed. 'I can't just pull Adam over as a tool man. That kind of emotionless robot-like old man, even if he is given to me for free, I will not take him. Who knows when he might sell me for benefits.'
Despite his complaints, Lynn was also thinking about another matter — had the gift he asked Ouroboros to deliver to Amon arrived?
Ever since the first painting, Lynn had subsequently painted several more Amon harassment pictures, including but not limited to "Amon Getting Blown Up for the First Time," "Amon Getting Blown Up Again," and other such "wonderful" memories Amon had.
Lynn was genuinely curious if those paintings had been delivered to Amon, and how Amon would react.
—He would certainly not be too happy.
'Should I try contacting Ouroboros? Anyway, besides praying and painting by the True Creator's side all day, he doesn't seem to have anything important to do. I need a tool man around, He seems to be the right person for it. How about pulling him over to help?' Lynn seriously pondered while pinching his chin. 'Otherwise, staying by the True Creator's side all day would probably turn him into a waste.'
'Although it seems he's already quite wasted.' Saying this, Lynn didn't actually take any action. Although his relationship with Ouroboros was good enough, considering the True Creator's presence, he naturally couldn't really pull Ouroboros over as a tool man.
'However, in the Fourth Epoch, it would be possible to approach him. At least let Ouroboros and Will temporarily put their conflict aside and have a proper gathering at the gods' tea party.' As Lynn thought about this, he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, the next second, the doorbell rang. The Fool, who was originally in the house opposite, had arrived at 16 Minsk Street.
Ah, right, I still have to keep up the act in front of Mr. Fool... Lynn blinked and instantly got into character, his expression turning slightly gloomy.
...
While Lynn was getting into character, elsewhere, in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Amon, who rarely took the initiative to approach Ouroboros, arrived.
"What do you want, Amon?" Ouroboros glanced at Amon, but his hand didn't stop drawing. "If you're here for the gift, you'll have to wait a bit longer. It will take me some more time to finish."
Amon: ...
These days, Amon had already received many gifts, and his smile stiffened a little, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "I guess you don't know yet. But He is planning to hold a gods' tea party during the War of the Four Emperors, inviting many true gods and angels, including Solomon, Tudor, and the Evernight Goddess."
Hearing this, Ouroboros finally paused his drawing. He looked at Amon, seemingly deep in thought. After a few seconds, he said, "You want me to paint this?"
Amon felt somewhat helpless at Ouroboros's reaction and straightforwardly said, "He should invite you to the tea party, but not just you. As far as I know, He also knows Will."
This information was actually gathered by Amon from the Fourth Epoch. It wasn't Bethel who leaked this information; Libert had never intended to hide the guest list.
"So?" Ouroboros quietly looked at Amon.
"Do you think he will support you in becoming Sequence 0? In my opinion, he might favor that little snake more." Amon finally decided not to beat around the bush and laid his cards on the table.
Yes, Amon's sudden visit to Ouroboros was to find a tool man. The recent influx of memories and information made Amon of the Fifth Epoch feel the need to take some self-saving measures.
And Ouroboros was the tool man Amon valued. Firstly, Ouroboros was stupid and easy to deceive. Secondly, Ouroboros had some connection with Libert but didn't seem very close. So Amon thought that by coming to deceive Ouroboros, even if he couldn't turn the dumb snake into a fighter, he could create some rift between Ouroboros and Libert, preventing Ouroboros from siding with Libert like Medici and Bethel.
—Of course, Amon still didn't know Libert's name was Lynn.
