Chapter 354: Chapter 355: The Eternal Blazing Sun's Public Humiliation
"It seems the time for farewells has finally arrived." Lynn also glanced in that direction before smiling at the three deities present. His gaze first met that of Amanises before settling on Trunsoest.
The Emperor of the Justiciar pathway appeared calm on the surface, but Lynn, being who he was, could easily see through the facade. Beneath Trunsoest's composed exterior, his thoughts were in turmoil: 'What the fuck... The Eternal Blazing Sun was beaten down like a dog? What exactly is Lynn?'
"In three days, I'll arrange for Bethel and Antigonus to have a conversation with you."
Lynn's voice echoed in Trunsoest's ear. Aside from him, no one else could hear it.
Trunsoest's eyes flickered, but he neither spoke nor made any other gestures.
Though the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms were aware that he had "cozied up" to Lynn, and even though they themselves had unclear relations with Lynn, the Eternal Blazing Sun was still an outsider, and...
Trunsoest was very aware that the Six Gods would never agree to him switching his allegiance.
In fact, although Trunsoest's desire to change patrons had been easily guessed by Lynn, Bethel, and others, it was primarily because Lynn immediately recognized Amon, had knowledge of Trunsoest's inevitable fallout with the Six Gods, and possessed the ability to discern people's hearts. In such circumstances, no secret, no matter how great, could truly remain hidden. However, to others, this was still a well-kept secret.
The Six Gods were not constantly watching Trunsoest's retinue, so they hadn't noticed Amon's presence. And under normal conditions, no one would ever imagine that Trunsoest, who had been supported by the Six Gods and had become deeply intertwined with them, would want to switch sides.
Even in this world, where alliances among high-ranking entities constantly form and break, this was too shocking.
'However...' Trunsoest glanced at the Evernight Goddess standing quietly, then nonchalantly looked away.
Among the Six Gods, Trunsoest was sure the others hadn't guessed his thoughts or noticed his actions, but he wasn't so certain about Amanises.
This goddess, who wielded the authority of secrets, had always been the most enigmatic. Trunsoest rarely understood what she was thinking or how many trump cards and allies she had, or what schemes she harbored.
The only certainty was that their relationship was neither close nor distant. They were collaborators, allies, but nothing more.
In fact, even among the Six Gods, the only one who had an overtly good relationship with the Evernight Goddess was the Lord of Storms.
The powerful but not very bright Lord of Storms often followed the Evernight Goddess's lead, either to perform certain tasks or avoid some troubles.
So, regarding Lynn's statement that the Augustus family, under the support of the Evernight Goddess, the Lord of Storms, and an unknown deity, replaced the Trunsoest royal family, Trunsoest wasn't surprised.
Though he had no grudge against the Evernight Goddess, he knew that when the time came for the Trunsoest royal family to disappear, this goddess wouldn't hesitate.
Trunsoest bore no ill will toward Amanises for this; it was simply unnecessary. He was merely curious—curious about the nature of the cooperation and deals between this goddess and Lynn. If she had indeed noticed his intention to switch sides, what would her attitude be?
Perhaps she wouldn't oppose it?
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Lynn waved at them and his body gradually faded away, clearly using his travel ability to leave.
With him, Mr. Door, Azik, and Artisan also departed.
The other angels and high-sequence beings finally began to move. Although they were about to arrive in just a few moments, before they could reach their destination, Aucuses, who had been lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and got up. He immediately looked at the Evernight Goddess beside him and said, "Evernight, please conceal me."
Amanises glanced at Aucuses. She naturally knew why he made such a request. As a Sequence 0, he still had some pride. Showing this level of humiliation in front of peers of the same rank was one thing, but he didn't want to show such a disgraceful appearance in front of other angels or even saints.
However, while she understood, the Evernight Goddess did not act immediately. Instead, she said seriously, "You have a very special corruption clinging to you, likely from that person. I can't guarantee that concealing you under these circumstances won't have adverse effects."
Her words were spoken with such righteousness and sincerity, seemingly all for Aucuses's benefit.
Aucuses's eyes widened in response, and just as he was about to say something, the group of angels and saints finally arrived, loudly and bustling.
Aucuses's had no time to ask the Evernight Goddess for concealment anymore. Even if it might worsen his injuries, he immediately transformed into a glowing ball, like a mini-sun, and streaked across the skies above Backlund, heading straight for his divine kingdom.
Seeing this, Amanises couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The group that had arrived noisily stopped beside the Evernight Goddess and the others. They stared at the dazzling figure in the sky, and one of them hesitantly asked, "Was that just now His Majesty the Eternal Blazing Sun?"
"Impossible, that was clearly a beaten pig. How could he be His Majesty the Eternal Blazing Sun..."
"Ahem, don't speak nonsense."
Clearly, as high-sequence beings, some of them had sharp eyesight.
Hearing these hushed discussions, the Evernight Goddess couldn't help but slightly curl her lips and then said, "You may all return now. The matter is over. Remember, try not to speak of today's events."
Trunsoest and the Lord of Storms, meanwhile, struggled to hold back their laughter.
This time, the Eternal Blazing Sun had indeed suffered a great misfortune!
Not only had he been thoroughly beaten, but his dignity was likely beyond repair. It wouldn't even take until tomorrow—within half an hour, the news of the Eternal Blazing Sun being beaten into a pulp would spread throughout the high-sequence circles.
While ordinary angels and demigods wouldn't dare to mock the Eternal Blazing Sun, others might not be so restrained.
...
While Aucuses was nursing his wounds and reputation, Lynn had already returned to the Abraham family's base and didn't rush to deal with the uniqueness of the Paragon. Instead, he turned to the deeply shocked Azik and smiled, saying:
"Azik, after today's events, you should have a clear understanding of my strength. How about joining me? Following that deadbeat dad of yours leads nowhere. He clearly intends to use you as a tool and a resurrection vessel. I'm different. I only need you to work for me, and I guarantee your physical and mental health and safety."
