Upon hearing these straightforward words, Bethel and Azik's mouths twitched slightly. The latter began to contemplate how to ensure his survival if a God's war were to break out.
The former furrowed his brows and pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "If Artisan can lure the Eternal Blazing Sun away from the banquet, I can try to transfer Him to the spirit world and briefly seal the space... but at most, I can only seal it for a short while. After all, I have not officially advanced to Sequence 0 yet, and other Gods will likely arrive quickly."
As someone on the verge of ascending to Sequence 0 within the Door pathway, Bethel could accomplish many things, which is why the other members of the Four Emperors have never given up on recruiting him—the Door pathway is indeed very useful.
Of course, although he could accomplish many things and often play a strategic role on the battlefield, his impact on a Sequence 0 battlefield was limited. Just like this time with the Eternal Blazing Sun, under normal circumstances, without an anomaly like Lynn, it would be difficult to achieve any strategic result even if he could briefly transfer the opponent and seal the space.
Especially since Bethel's superior was Tudor. As a half-crazed Sequence 0 whose whereabouts were always easily traceable, the Blood Emperor Tudor could hardly sneak into the Trunsoest Empire as quietly as Lynn, let alone have an inside agent like the Evernight Goddess Amanises to disguise them. Even a Sequence 0 would find it difficult to see through the disguise in a short time.
Under normal circumstances, without a disguise, Mr. Door could not infiltrate the palace banquet of the Trunsoest Empire and approach an isolated Sequence 0. Places like the palace are guarded against teleportation, which, although it can't stop Mr. Door, would be detected in advance if he teleported into the palace of the Trunsoest Empire.
"No problem, a short while is enough, even just a few seconds are sufficient for me to do many things," Lynn said with a smile. He then recalled something and looked at Bethel, asking, "By the way, I saw an avatar of Amon beside Trunsoest. Are they close?"
"Amon..." Hearing this, Bethel furrowed his brow. After thinking for a few seconds, he replied, "Before the fall of the First Solomon Empire, Amon did have interactions with Trunsoest, but after He chose to support Tudor along with me and Antigonus, He rarely interacted with the Night Emperor. Their relationship shouldn't be very deep."
Bethel then hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lynn a few times, and continued, "Amon might think that Tudor, being targeted by you, has no future, so He's looking for another backer..."
At this point, Bethel's expression became subtle.
In fact, not only Amon but even Antigonus had recently been staying in His Nation of the Evernight. Previously, although this demonic wolf was reclusive, He would respond to Tudor's summons and participate in meetings. But now, according to Bethel's understanding, Antigonus had declined all recent meetings summoned by Tudor, focusing solely on not concerning Himself with outside matters. Although He hadn't officially betrayed Tudor, His heart might have already fled.
'Actually, it's not just them. Even I... sigh!' Bethel couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As the last person who cares for Tudor a little, Bethel, although not planning to abandon Tudor like the others, also didn't intend to sink with this ship. He could only ensure a grand funeral for Tudor.
Lynn was well aware of the situation where the three families were becoming major threats to Tudor, as he had orchestrated this. He merely stroked his chin and said, "I'm not surprised He's looking for a new backer. Tudor is unlikely to win the Four Emperors' war, and only Adam still needs Him to create chaos... But why Trunsoest? They aren't very close, and Amon's relationship with the Six Gods isn't great either."
"Amon mainly has conflicts with the Eternal Blazing Sun, Lord of Storms, and God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He doesn't have deep conflicts with the other three gods," Bethel explained. "Trunsoest's relationship with these three gods isn't particularly good either. The Six Gods aren't united, and you know that the Night Emperor has been trying to free Himself and the Trunsoest Empire from their influence."
"Perhaps Trunsoest wants to emulate Tudor, completely breaking free from the Six Gods' constraints and seeking support from us," Bethel added with a subtle expression.
"So, He's switching tactics?" Lynn raised an eyebrow. This thought hadn't crossed his mind before, but hearing Mr. Door say it, he realized it was indeed possible.
Anyone could see the subtle tension between Tudor and the three families recently, and Trunsoest's relationship with the Six Gods had been delicate for many years. In this context, the Night Emperor's desire to break free from the Six Gods and seek support from the families was quite normal.
First, the Night Emperor had no fundamental conflict with the three families.
Second, while the Six Gods' alliance was powerful, its strength was diminished by internal discord. If united, they would have long since won the war and wouldn't have been so heavily pressured by the Solomon and True Creator alliance.
Third, the Six Gods' power was detrimental to the Night Emperor's ambitions, especially since He didn't want to be a puppet. No emperor would want six de facto rulers behind Him. The Night Emperor's conflict with the Six Gods might already be deep, awaiting the right moment to erupt, such as after the Four Emperors' war.
Lastly, in this world, alliances and betrayals among high-ranking beings were common. The Night Emperor had once supported Solomon, then later allied with Tudor to betray Solomon and establish the Tudor-Trunsoest Empire. This didn't prevent them from now fighting each other. So, without fundamental conflicts, the Night Emperor seeking support from the families was reasonable.
"I see. No wonder His attitude was so subtle..." Lynn stroked his chin, his smile widening.
If the Night Emperor really wanted to switch sides, that would be perfect! It aligned perfectly with his plans.
