Bethel naturally didn't notice Lynn's posturing behavior. When he heard Lynn's suggestion, he was clearly taken aback. After thinking for a few seconds, likely considering the feasibility of the entire plan, he nodded and said:
"In theory, it is indeed feasible. I am just a King of Angels, and I have already been deeply corrupted by the Mother Goddess of Depravity. In this case, with your deterrence, most other Outer Gods will likely avoid me."
As for the Mother Goddess of Depravity, also known as the Primordial Moon, whether she would come to pester him again—although Mr. Door was not clear about the gaze from Lynn's true form, he wasn't blind. He could see that the Goddess of Depravity avoided Lynn like the plague. When she sensed Lynn's arrival, she clearly wished she could flee as far away as possible.
Referring to the Bitch Tree (Mother Tree of Desire) that was beaten by Lynn in the Fourth Epoch, Bethel reasonably suspected that the Goddess of Depravity had also suffered the iron fist of a certain brat.
Mr. Door certainly wouldn't have any sympathy for this, only regretting that he didn't witness the Mother Goddess of Depravity getting beaten in person.
"Bethel, is there anything you want? Once the space is established and you have a place to stay, you can completely transform the alternate space into your temporary residence. If you need any furniture, books, food, etc., I can get them for you," Lynn suggested enthusiastically, seeing Bethel agree to his proposal.
Traveling between the stars and the earth might be difficult for other angels, but for Lynn, who had once replicated some of Mr. Door's skills, it was just a matter of opening a few doors.
As for the barrier, Earth's outer barrier wouldn't prevent Earth's life forms from entering and exiting the stars; it only hindered the Outer Gods.
In fact, these Outer Gods entrenched in the solar system posed the greatest danger to any angel wanting to travel the stars, but for Lynn, it was a piece of cake. He was not afraid at all.
After all, Outer Gods couldn't corrupt Lynn, and the two closest to Earth, Bitch Tree and the Goddess of Depravity, had either been beaten by him or had suffered at his true form's hands.
Most other Outer Gods were also intimidated by his famous scene of beating Bitch Tree. Even if some hard-headed Outer God wanted to fight Lynn, he could just run away.
Lynn was not one to stand on ceremony and suffer; when it came to running away, he was faster than anyone.
Hearing Lynn's suggestion, Bethel was again taken aback, clearly not expecting such a down-to-earth proposal.
But he had to admit it was something that needed consideration, even though Bethel never thought he would have to consider such things.
"Please bring some basic living supplies for me. Besides those, I might need some books—not those containing knowledge, just novels to pass the time," Bethel said after thinking for a few seconds.
Evidently, Bethel did not want to understand the current reality. This was not because he refused to return to human society, nor was he uninterested in the present world. Bethel was intentionally controlling himself from learning such information.
Even though the corruption from the Goddess of Depravity within him had been suppressed, Bethel still worried about reverting to his previous state. In that state, any information he knew about the real world could potentially cause harm. Hence, Bethel chose not to know.
"Alright, I know an author who writes excellent novels. I'll bring her books for you," Lynn smiled, understanding Mr. Door's thoughts, and sighed inwardly. He added, "By the way, that lady is quite connected to you and the Abraham family. In the original timeline, she would have become your successor and the next leader of the Abraham family."
Although this wasn't entirely accurate, Lynn thought it was a fair description.
Fors was promoted to Sequence 2 in the later stages of the original novel, was close to the Abraham family, and was favored by Mr. Fool. In the Book 2, she even appeared as a big shot. With so many buffs, Fors would undoubtedly be a significant figure, if not the leader of the Abraham family.
Bethel's expression turned subtle upon hearing this, and he almost instinctively said, "After all these years, they still haven't given up that hobby?"
Mr. Door was referring to the hobby of writing fan fiction, spreading gossip, and writing novels.
"Not really. Fors is not a descendant of the Abraham family, but in the future, she can be considered half a member. Her teacher is a descendant of the Abraham family. However, um..."
Lynn recalled the diary of a hapless Abraham family descendant he had read recently. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Perhaps the Abrahams haven't given up their old habits. At least those gossip novels they once wrote have been passed down."
Bethel felt a mix of amusement and frustration. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How are they doing?"
Lynn looked up at Bethel, choosing not to hide the truth. He said directly, "Not well..."
Lynn then briefly explained the situation of the Abraham family that he knew.
Even though they were once the top noble family in the Fourth Epoch, the most powerful supporter of the Tudor royal family, most of Abraham family's glory was tied to Mr. Door, Bethel.
So, in the late Four Emperors War, when Blood Emperor Tudor fell and Bethel was banished by the Evernight and Storm, the other high-ranking members of the Abraham family also perished one by one.
Whether this was accidental or a deliberate targeting by the Abraham family's enemies was now impossible to determine, but there was no doubt that after Mr. Door was banished, the Abraham family declined.
Furthermore, after that, the Abraham family was cursed, plagued by Bethel's full moon cries. Almost no Abraham family member successfully advanced to high sequences; they all failed at middle and low sequences.
The key issue was that these failing Abraham members mostly lost control due to the full moon whispers, making the Abraham family's situation even worse.
In this case, to ensure the family's survival, the Abraham family was forced to shift from a large family model to living scattered in small family units.
"...After separating, they tried to adopt a master-apprentice system like the Life School to avoid the full moon whispers. But perhaps their judgment was flawed, and a traitor emerged, dealing another heavy blow to the Abraham family," Lynn said slowly. "Now, you might not find a single Sequence 5 in the Abraham family."
