"You have a point," Lynn nodded, recalling the other destroyed cities in the Forsaken Land. Not wanting to continue the topic, he simply asked, "Since you know about Moon City, what do you know about the barrier on the Western Continent?"
"That barrier... I've been there before. Honestly, with my abilities, I couldn't discern much. I could only confirm that the City of Calamity is indeed on the other side of the wall," Medici frowned as he spoke. "But that was many years ago. The wall should no longer be as strong as it once was; otherwise, the tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness wouldn't have appeared in the outside world."
"You don't intend to go beyond that wall, do you?" Medici suddenly thought of something, casting a suspicious glance at Lynn.
"Well, I'm a bit curious, but I don't think I can get through," Lynn shrugged. He was indeed curious about the Western Continent, but considering even God couldn't break the seal, he doubted his own ability to do so.
"Let's hope so..." Medici wasn't sure if he believed Lynn, but after giving him a long look, he added, "Even if you could enter the Western Continent, it's best not to. The Lord once said that the situation beyond the wall might be completely different from the outside world, where the power of the Sefirot might be pervasive..."
Medici seemed to remember something else and added, "Of course, if you really want to court death, go ahead. But don't expect me to clean up after you." His tone was dripping with sarcasm.
"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless. Besides, the Sefirot doesn't affect me... ha," Lynn chuckled, adding, "Anyway, it's just three years. I'm not in that much of a hurry."
Medici was slightly relieved at first, but then he realized what Lynn was implying. He asked in surprise, "Three years?"
Clearly, Medici, with his quick wit, had already guessed what Lynn meant by "three years," and because of this, he was even more shocked.
"Yes, three years!" Lynn nodded, looking at Medici with a smile. He explained, "Three years to ascend to godhood. On that day, he would ascend to become an Great Old One."
Medici: ...
Just as Mr. Door had been shocked upon learning this, Medici was also stunned at that moment. His pupils quaked, and after several seconds, he asked, "Did you give him a cheat?"
As someone familiar with his unscrupulous older brother, Medici naturally understood what cheating meant.
"Come on, that was the original history. It has nothing to do with me," Lynn shrugged, continuing, "He doesn't need me to give him a cheat. He is the real deal, He ascended to godhood in three years, he even beaten up Amon, and faced the Great Old Ones on that very day. He even suppressed the Will of the former Lord of Mysteries in a dream. You tell me, isn't that impressive?"
Even someone as knowledgeable as Medici was silent for a moment. He said with difficulty, "So this is why you're so adamant about making him the Lord of Mysteries."
"Exactly!" Lynn nodded, looking at Medici with an expression that said "of course." He added, "If someone like him doesn't become the Lord of Mysteries, do you think that's fair?"
"It seems the little raven is in for a world of trouble," Medici fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly laughing, his tone mocking. "Tsk tsk, I can't wait for that day. The little raven's expression will be priceless."
"Who wouldn't agree..." Lynn shrugged in agreement.
...
Although Mr. Fool was unaware that a certain Angel of Secrets was spreading the great tale of his ascension to godhood in three years and facing the Old Ones on that day—something that even Mr. Fool himself was unaware of—he had just issued a divine message to Little Sun Derrick. The essence of the message was that he would soon send two angels to the City of Silver to provide them with some assistance and bring news from the outside world, hoping that Little Sun could prepare accordingly.
Klein naturally knew that this task might be a bit challenging for Little Sun, but with things having progressed to this point, he could only trust in Little Sun's abilities.
"It should be fine, right?"
Above the gray fog, Mr. Fool muttered to himself while keeping an eye on Little Sun through the crimson star associated with him, ready to intervene or call for help if necessary.
...
Meanwhile, Little Sun Derrick, who had no idea he was being watched, slowly got up from his chair. His hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, trembling slightly—not out of fear, but because he hadn't yet recovered from the shock.
Derrick could never have imagined that Mr. Fool would suddenly issue a divine message, intending to send two angels to the City of Silver and bring news of the outside world.
This was too sudden a surprise for Derrick.
'Mr. Fool indeed has angels following Him... He's sending angels to the City of Silver. Could it be... could it be that Mr. Fool intends to...' Derrick's excitement grew, and although he did have some doubts about the sudden divine message, the sheer joy of the angels' imminent arrival overwhelmed those doubts, leading him to think about something else.
"I must inform the Chief about this..." Little Sun Derrick almost sprinted to the door, grabbing the handle. Just before opening it, he hesitated: "But will the Chief believe me? What if he thinks I'm being misled by an evil god..."
This hesitation lasted less than a second before it dissipated. Derrick's resolve returned, and he quickly made his way to where the Chief of the City of Silver, Colin Iliad, was.
Due to the unique situation in the City of Silver, although Derrick was just an ordinary patrol team member, he managed to meet the Chief after a bit of time—Colin Iliad.
"Is there something you need from me, Derrick?" Colin asked in a low voice. As the Chief of the City of Silver, he knew all the Beyonders in the city, so he naturally recognized who was standing before him.
"Chief..." Derrick took a moment to catch his breath after running over and then blurted out, "I received a divine message from Mr. Fool. Two angels following Him will soon descend upon the City of Silver..."
The room suddenly fell silent. Derrick, after speaking, couldn't help but glance at the Chief, only to see his expressionless face, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
This made Derrick even more nervous, so he stammered as he added, "The two angels are His Highness, the Angel of Secrets, and His Highness, the War Angel..."
"Derrick..." Colin Iliad finally spoke, staring intensely at the young man before him. "Do you know what you're saying?"
