บท 291: Chapter 292: Listening to Mr. Door’s Past Stories
'Was it my illusion? Mr. Door didn't seem very interested in talking to Lynn...' Klein muttered to himself, not dwelling too much on the matter. He then looked at Lynn beside him and said, "Lynn, Mr. Door wants to chat with you. You probably have many questions for Him as well..."
While saying this, Mr. Fool handed over the Master Key, which served as the medium for contacting Mr. Door.
"...I do have some things I want to ask Him." Already in character, Lynn pursed his lips and took the Master Key. After successfully establishing contact with Mr. Door on the "phone," he didn't speak immediately.
On the other end of the line, Bethel remained silent as well. After ten seconds, perhaps finally finding the right words, Bethel said, "Maybe I should say long time no see?"
"For me, it feels more like our first meeting..." Hearing Bethel's words, Lynn finally opened up, smiling as he said, "Hello, Bethel. Although I don't have many memories of you, I think we were probably on good terms?"
"We were indeed very good friends." Bethel did not deny this, directly acknowledging it.
"Rather, I am very grateful to have a friend like you."
"You're making me a bit embarrassed..." Lynn said, though his expression showed no hint of embarrassment. He continued, "So I am not your child, right? The name Libert Abraham was just a false identity?"
Far away in the cosmos, Bethel was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lynn to bring this up. Feeling somewhat awkward, Bethel still responded, "That was indeed a false identity. At that time, you didn't want to act under your original identity, so you borrowed that one."
"Phew..." Lynn seemed relieved, even patting his chest with his hand, and said with a tone of relief, "Good, good. I knew it was a false identity. I thought I had gained another father..."
"If you were really my father, I wouldn't know how to face you. Suddenly having an old father would feel too strange." Lynn said, then as if recalling something, asked, "By the way, you should know I've lost my past memories. Can you tell me about my past? Every time I ask that guy about it, He just plays riddles with me. It drives me mad. Sooner or later, I'll put Him in a sack and beat Him up."
Hearing Lynn's words, Bethel fell silent again, almost immediately picturing a certain Blood Emperor being sacked in his mind, which was quickly dispelled.
Bethel hesitated for a moment before saying, "I do know some things about you, but not much. If you want to know, I can tell you..."
"Then tell me. What kind of person was I before?" Lynn, holding his chin with one hand, asked with great interest. He even waved to Klein beside him, inviting him to listen to the past stories together.
And Bethel did start to tell them about Lynn's significant actions in the Fourth Epoch, which Lynn listened to with relish, and even Mr. Fool was left stunned.
Although Fool Klein had known the Angel of Secrets was not ordinary, he never expected that the former angel was so powerful.
Repeatedly blowing up an Angel King, even having beaten the Blood Emperor Tudor, and single-handedly hosting a tea party attended by numerous angels and true gods.
This greatly exceeded Klein's understanding of the Angel of Secrets. He once thought the angel might just be an ordinary angel. Later, he knew the angel had prophetic abilities, but now he discovered the angel might also have formidable combat power, capable of going toe-to-toe with a true god.
While Fool Klein was greatly shocked, the story soon progressed to its latest part, where Lynn of the Fourth Epoch lured the Death Consul of the Byrn Empire back to the Tudor Empire.
"And then? What happened next..." Klein couldn't help but ask. It wasn't strange, given Klein was probably the one with the best relationship with Azik among the three. Now hearing that Lynn's past involved Mr. Azik, he naturally became more interested.
In the cosmos, Bethel hesitated for a few seconds before responding, "I don't know."
"Ah?" x2
Two voices of surprise echoed above the gray fog. Lynn's was faked, while Klein's was genuine.
"How can you not know? Weren't you involved?" This didn't stop Lynn from frowning and asking in confusion.
"Retaining self, losing power... so that's it." Bethel didn't directly answer Lynn's question but showed a thoughtful expression, then sighed, recalling the things Lynn said in the Fourth Epoch, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't understand why you would split your soul in half before. Now I understand. You planned to do this."
If Bethel previously didn't understand why Lynn split himself in two, now He did. Lynn's division was evidently to better combat the presence reviving within Him.
Now, this Lynn, who conversed with Him, lost his memories and that powerful, mysterious strength but represented humanity and Lynn's self, even starting anew on the path to godhood.
Lynn evidently intended to rid himself of the resurrecting original or some other presence through this division, gaining a clean "rebirth."
—One must say, although the reasoning was wrong, Mr. Door's thought aligned perfectly with the script Lynn wrote for himself.
As the person involved, Lynn blinked. He had guessed Bethel's general idea but pretended to be clueless: "What retaining self, losing power? Do you know why I split with that guy?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you the specific reason. It's knowledge you're not meant to know now." Bethel said kindly but firmly.
"So you're also a riddle maker?" Lynn showed an exasperated expression and said, "Forget it, I'll find the truth myself. Anyway, that's what He wanted."
Beside him, Klein furrowed his brow, showing a thoughtful expression.
'Retaining self, losing power... refers to Lynn?'
'Could something have happened back then, forcing Lynn to retain his self through splitting? But the Angel of Secrets had power...'
'No, though the Angel of Secrets had power, He also said Lynn was the foundation, the main force... Did Lynn encounter some issue where retaining power would make him lose self, hence splitting his power and part of his soul temporarily, resulting in the Angel of Secrets, while losing power to become Lynn Sotos?'
Klein pondered, increasingly convinced of this possibility.
