Chương 182: Chapter 183: The Innocent Lynn

Lynn didn't think his relationship with Bethel was better than his relationship with Klein.

The gap between them was too large. This wasn't a difference in strength but in other aspects. Lynn was well aware that Bethel, unlike Klein, was a mature King of Angels and bore the burden of the Abraham family. He could never be an open and honest friend like Klein.

There would always be reservations, distances, and barriers between them.

Just as Lynn knew, Bethel might accommodate him in other matters, but if he really wanted to kill Tudor, Bethel would've definitely stopped him.

Similarly, Lynn might help Mr. Door in other matters but would never help him complete the ritual to become the Lord of Mysteries.

"But strictly speaking, Klein also has unshakeable principles, and Medici has uncompromising boundaries... Indeed, I am a double-standard person, biased to the extreme." Lynn mused, without a hint of embarrassment.

He was a double-standard person, with different standards and filters for those close to him and those who weren't.

That's normal, isn't it?

"Tsk." Medici glanced at Lynn, unsurprised.

As Lynn's blood relative, Medici knew certain traits of Lynn very well, even knowing who exactly Lynn truly cared about.

For instance, Medici, Sasrir, and the future Lord of Mysteries were evidently within that range.

Medici naturally didn't find this problematic. In fact, because in the War Angel's eyes, Sasrir and the Ancient Sun God were essentially the same, Medici and Lynn had no points of conflict.

With Medici's intelligence, it was easy to see that Lynn might try to resurrect Sasrir, potentially replacing the True Creator.

But Medici didn't mind. In Medici's view, whether it was the True Creator or Sasrir, they were just different states of the same Lord. Medici was loyal to the Lord and willing to accept all forms of the Lord.

So, if Lynn wanted Sasrir to replace the True Creator, so be it. Even the Lord Himself wouldn't oppose such a thing.

As the Lord said, "There's no difference between Him and me."

If the Lord returned to the state of Sasrir, allowing Lynn to help the Lord more, Medici was entirely in favor.

"So you must follow my script and never reveal that Lynn Sotos and the Angel of Secrets are essentially the same,"

Lynn recalled the matter at hand, looking at Medici, "No matter what happens in the future, I am weak, pitiful, and clueless. The one who knows everything is the Angel of Secrets, understood?"

"You really enjoy playing house." Medici remarked sarcastically, then added, "Don't worry, I'm not bored enough to spread important information. But Lynn, haven't you forgotten that your ability to change history is somewhat known? How do you plan to explain that to others?"

"Why should I explain it to them?" Lynn showed a radiant smile, "I have no obligation to explain everything to others!"

"Of course, to facilitate future cooperation with some people, I will throw appropriate bait." Lynn paused, "But that's all on the Angel of Secrets, not me."

"Although as the main body, I unintentionally changed the past, I didn't know that! To me, those were just dreams, just recovering memories. How would I know I was changing the past?"

Lynn smiled innocently, "The Angel of Secrets, who knows all the truths, will hide this fact from me, the main body, to better maintain my humanity."

"And when Lynn Sotos and the Angel of Secrets merge, I will finally retrieve all memories and powers, so it's natural to freely control that time-altering ability, isn't it?"

Indeed, Lynn's principle and script were consistent throughout: he knew nothing.

Don't ask. If you ask, it's all the Angel of Secrets' fault; he, as a human, is innocent.

This might be shameless but sufficient to deal with most people. As for whether they would doubt— for those close, Lynn naturally had ways to convince them. He was professional in this regard, and for those not close, so what if they doubted? Lynn didn't care.

"A rough script." Medici smiled mockingly, "But it's enough to deal with those you intend to."

Medici didn't doubt Lynn's ability to deceive, having experienced it firsthand.

"But it's best to have your cooperation to make the script more real." Lynn smiled, then remembered something, asking, "Now that you've recovered to Sequence 2, you don't have to stay trapped here. What are your plans?"

"Just say it, what do you want?" Medici glanced at Lynn.

"It's not about what I want, but as a brother, I'm ready to selflessly share some information." Lynn smiled brightly, "The Augustus family has a Conqueror characteristic. They will trade it with the Witches of the Primordial Demoness. The trade involves this Conqueror characteristic."

"While theoretically, you could wait long enough to recover to Sequence 1 or even higher using your Fourth Epoch self, I think you might prefer to control your fate."

"You have a grudge with the Augustus family?" Medici looked at Lynn, clearly guessing Lynn's intentions.

Sharing information to help Medici recover to Sequence 1 was true, but wanting to use Medici against the Augustus family was also true.

After all, in this timeline, Lynn was much more vulnerable and needed to leverage others' power.

"Not a grudge, just a dislike for their style and certain actions they plan to take." Lynn shrugged, looking at Medici, "What, do you have ties with the Augustus family?"

"No, I have no ties with them." Medici sneered, clearly not fond of the Augustus family, "I'll take the information, and as for the actions you dislike…"

"Tell me, what exactly is the Augustus family planning?"
