"Nice to see you again, Your Majesty Solomon," Lynn greeted with a friendly smile.
"I didn't expect our second meeting to be under such circumstances, nor did I anticipate that the tea party suggested by the True Creator would be such a gathering," the Black Emperor Solomon observed Lynn, even sighing at that moment. "Do you know what reason the True Creator gave me to invite me to this tea party?"
"Reason?" Lynn asked curiously. He had no idea how the True Creator invited Solomon. Under normal circumstances, he might have guessed if it were Sasrir, but he couldn't predict how the mad True Creator would do it.
After all, he didn't understand lunatics very well.
Though, in a sense, Little Mr Bubbles himself wasn't quite normal either.
"He said, 'My child is hosting a tea party and is afraid no one will attend, so I invited you to be the grand finale.'" When Solomon said this, he gave the True Creator a glance with an indescribable expression.
The True Creator then looked at him. Although His entire face was covered by his clothing, his eyes seemed to say, "Isn't that the case?"
Solomon: ... To be honest, even though I had guessed that Libert was probably raised by you, this is just too outrageous, isn't it? Maybe you should wash your eyes and see what your child has done?
Solomon no longer wanted to look at the True Creator, who might be mad or whose eyes might have been faulty even before madness set in. He turned to Lynn, who had a similarly subtle expression upon hearing his words but did not seem surprised, as if he found the True Creator's words perfectly normal.
Solomon: ...It's confirmed. The ancient sun god might have raised his children this way!
In an instant, Solomon felt he had glimpsed the truth. No wonder neither Amon nor Adam, nor this suddenly appeared Libert, were quite normal. One was a troublemaker, and the others were obsessed. It seemed that the ancient sun god didn't know how to raise children properly and was the kind of doting father who spoiled them rotten.
Otherwise, how could he have raised them so crooked?
Solomon originally thought he might not be a particularly good father, but now, in comparison, he felt he had done quite well.
At least his children weren't troublesome or mad. Although not all of them were exceptional and some might not even ensure their promotion to high sequences, they were relatively normal in character and behaved decently.
"Correction, my first father figure in this world was Sasrir, not the Sun God!" Lynn suddenly corrected Solomon's understanding.
"First father figure?" Solomon was taken aback by the peculiar term but quickly grasped its meaning. He then looked at the True Creator with a complex expression and asked, "But isn't Dark Angel Sasrir the Sun God's inheritor?"
For this era's Sequence 0s, the relationship between Dark Angel Sasrir and the sun god was no secret. It wasn't a hidden matter but something openly discussed in holy scriptures.
"Tch!" Medici sneered at this moment, glancing at Lynn with habitual sarcasm, "It's just that some people are hung up on unnecessary things. But this can't be helped; after all, someone who watched him grow up, his actual age hasn't even increased by a year."
Hearing this, the Black Emperor Solomon was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood Medici's point. He looked at Lynn with some surprise but didn't comment further.
Many don't acknowledge the True Creator as the Ancient Sun God, but few deny that Dark Angel Sasrir is the Ancient Sun God.
'No, based on Libert's attitude, this should be reversed. He doesn't acknowledge the Ancient Sun God as Sasrir...' Solomon felt like he had gained new insight.
"I can't help it. I'm just sensitive about issues related to avatars and main bodies!" Lynn calmly poured himself a cup of tea, seemingly finding nothing wrong with his perspective. He then looked at Solomon and said, "Your Majesty Solomon, I'm here to discuss a serious matter with you."
"What matter?" Solomon's expression became serious, losing any interest in gossip, and he looked at Lynn.
"From what I know, you and the True Creator are genuine allies, having closely collaborated for over a thousand years, from the First Solomon Empire to the current Second Solomon Empire. The True Creator has always been your most solid ally."
Lynn didn't directly cut to the chase but first reviewed the relationship between Solomon and the True Creator. Only then did he slowly sip his tea and say, "I think, for such an ally, you wouldn't mind sharing faith within the Solomon Empire, would you?"
Solomon almost instinctively frowned at these words. He had already guessed what Lynn intended to say, but he couldn't refuse.
Because he and the True Creator were indeed the most solid allies, and their bond had reached a point where they couldn't separate and choose other allies.
In the unique alliances formed during the War of the Four Emperors, the alliance between the Black Emperor Solomon and the True Creator was the least fragile. This wasn't to say their emotional bond was particularly strong, but reality and interests compelled them to work together.
The Black Emperor Solomon could hardly join forces with the Blood Emperor Tudor or the Night Emperor Trunsoest, and the True Creator was in a similar position. Tudor had Adam, who represented the Ancient Sun God's divinity, by his side, and among the gods behind Trunsoest, three were practically mortal enemies of the True Creator.
Though this adversarial relationship might resolve in the future, it was the least probable.
Solomon also needed the True Creator as an ally. As the Ancient Sun God's inheritor, even reduced to a single pathway and driven mad, the True Creator was still more powerful than ordinary Sequence 0s.
So, faced with Lynn's question, Solomon could only nod and say, "I indeed don't mind sharing the empire's faith with my ally."
"I like your attitude, Your Majesty Solomon!" Lynn smiled at Solomon. "Then let's discuss establishing a complete True Creator Church within the Solomon Empire!"
Hearing this, Solomon wasn't too surprised. He directly asked, "What are your plans?"
Since he couldn't refuse, Solomon didn't want to haggle over this matter. He had always been a decisive person.
"I've already drafted the initial plan, right here..." Lynn took out a stack of parchment from his spatial pocket, then smiled and said:
"I know no one likes sharing their faith, but perhaps, this matter may benefit you more than it harms you."
As Lynn extended his hand towards Solomon, he continued:
"Let me reintroduce myself, Lynn Sotos, current alias Libert Abraham, current title Mechanical Angel, and future Paragon."
"Also, the unknown entity capable of beating the Mother Tree of Desire into the ground."
"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the coming period."
