章 133: Chapter 134: Amon is a Terrifying Man
"Truly a terrifying existence..." Death Consul Azik couldn't help but mumble again.
"But... not detestable."
Perhaps he should indeed write to that young angel, and in the future, visit the Tudor Empire.
Anyway... Azik thought as he glanced far towards the direction of the Balam Empire palace.
—You don't oppose this either, do you?
—Your Majesty.
…
"Bethel, do you know Will?"
On the ship returning to the Tudor Empire, Lynn asked casually while looking at the increasingly distant port.
Hearing this, Bethel Abraham was taken aback and hesitated before saying, "You mean the Snake of Mercury of the Wheel of Fortune Pathway?"
So, the little snake in the Fourth Epoch is also called Will... Lynn raised an eyebrow but wasn't surprised. He nodded, "Yes, that's him. Do you know him?"
"We've had some interactions, but we're not particularly close. Why do you ask?" Bethel Abraham said, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Do you want to meet him?"
"Yes, I want to meet him." When Bethel said he had some connection with Will, Lynn's eyes lit up. He made no secret of his interest in the snake, eagerly saying, "So could you introduce me to him? I'd like to be friends with him."
Bethel Abraham: …
Are you sure you want to be friends and not persecute him?
Having learned a certain term from Lynn, Mr. Door couldn't help but think about what Lynn was planning and what he intended to do.
By now, Bethel Abraham had fully understood Lynn's mischievous nature. He knew that although the possibly Great Old One was really strong, his character was... unpredictable.
The only consolation for Mr. Door was that Lynn didn't seem interested in persecuting him. Instead, his attention was focused on Azik, the Death Consul of the Balam Empire, and a certain unnamed Angel of Time.
Fortunately, Lynn doesn't seem interested in persecuting me... Bethel Abraham thought, keeping a straight face as he said, "I remember his old address. Though I'm not sure if Will has abandoned it, I will help you find him if he's not there."
Without a doubt, between persecuting others and being persecuted, Mr. Door unhesitatingly chose to assist in the persecution.
"Thanks, Bethel. Whether or not we find Will, I owe you one." Lynn wasn't surprised by Bethel's choice. He then smiled and said, "I hope Will doesn't hide from me, or I will be very angry."
So, Will, if you really can get hints from fate, don't hide from me!
This is my sincere advice... The mischievous Lynn thought as he consciously emitted his "malice."
After failing to bait in the Fifth Epoch, Lynn had this reverse operation in mind. If Will ran away because of fate's warning, he would make it clear that running away would result in worse consequences.
In the Fifth Epoch, Lynn couldn't do this, but in the Fourth Epoch, he had some leverage.
"Although this makes me feel like a villain... it must be an illusion!" Lynn shook his head, smoothing over his nonexistent conscience. He became more eager to meet the little snake.
I wonder what the reaction of the Fifth Epoch's little snake will be when I catch the one in the Fourth Epoch.
It should be quite a shock!
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Fourth Epoch.
A certain Snake of Mercury was feeling the reminder from fate and fell silent.
"Meeting will lead to an unfortunate outcome."
"Avoiding will lead to an even more unfortunate outcome."
Although he hadn't met the mischievous one yet, the Mercury Snake already felt a headache coming on.
Is he being targeted by some strange person?
"But... neither meeting nor avoiding poses a life-threatening danger. So, the other party doesn't have clear malicious intent but seems to want... to tease me?" Will muttered uncertainly, his expression filled with confusion and puzzlement.
Will naturally didn't know that he was carrying the blame for the Fifth Epoch's self.
If Lynn had met the little snake in the Fifth Epoch, he wouldn't be so interested in the one in the Fourth Epoch.
...
Although Mr. Door promised to help Lynn find Will, that was something for after they returned to the Tudor Empire. Until then, Lynn naturally kept himself busy. For instance, finding opportunities to persecute Amon, and more persecuting Amon, and still more persecuting Amon.
—It's not that the Angel of Time has a good temper, but mostly because Amon's seal wasn't lifted, and most of his means were ineffective against Lynn. Moreover, Mr. Door was around, so Amon chose to ignore some of Lynn's childish behaviors, like pinching his cheeks or patting his head.
In this aspect, Amon, who had countless avatars and loved playing various roles, adapted quickly. Initially uncomfortable with Lynn's persecution, he soon learned to use his childlike state to win Lynn's sympathy.
Because Amon noticed that although Lynn was still a rascal to him in his childlike state, he was relatively less so.
This might be due to the humanity in Lynn.
Amon naturally despised this, but it didn't stop him from taking advantage of it.
Just like in the original story, when he took Klein away and almost fooled him by playing the role of a mentor and friend, Amon was always adept at manipulating and gaining others' trust.
Seeing all this, Lynn thought—please keep it up, give me more blackmail material.
Lynn indeed couldn't treat child Amon the same way as adult Amon, but so what?
Everything he did was not only to satisfy his own evil pleasure but also to persecute the future's adult Amon!
