Chapter 66: Brave Rescue of Mr. Door

"It was as uneventful as expected..."

Lynn muttered a small complaint but didn't mind drinking in silence. After all, the initial promotion of his main account wasn't meant to enhance combat power, but to lay the groundwork for higher sequence promotions later on.

"With the passage of time on my smurf account, theoretically, there will come a day when the two timelines will overlap. I wonder what will happen then..."

Lynn suddenly thought of something, scratching his chin thoughtfully. "Will it trigger some hidden settings, like the smurf account merging with the main body? That way, I wouldn't have to work hard, hahaha."

Lynn felt this possibility was real; after all, people should have dreams.

But such a future was too distant. So, after a brief daydream, Lynn decided to focus on the present.

He stretched his body, getting used to the changes brought by the Melee Scholar potion. Once he was familiar with it, Lynn began eagerly researching the Cards of Blasphemy: Red Priest Card.

Following the descriptions in the original text, Lynn successfully activated the Red Priest Card. As expected, he saw the limited-edition Roselle Emperor image from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0 in the Hunter Pathway.

"In a sense, the Emperor really was a genius..." Lynn muttered, casually sketching a few card images he liked for keepsakes before starting his formal research.

Unfortunately, probably due to not having any external hacks, Lynn, who was still only at Sequence 8, didn't discover anything significant.

This made Lynn a bit disappointed, but he decided to wait until he was fully recovered and then use the power of his smurf account to study the Red Priest Card. Even if he couldn't completely decipher its secrets, he wanted to record all the necessary data for future reference in making the Chess of Blasphemy.

As for now, Lynn decided it was time to take a bath and go to sleep.

After all, he had a surprise for Mr. Fool tomorrow and needed to be fully rested to play the game in his best state.

...

The next morning.

After a good night's sleep, Lynn woke up feeling refreshed, ready to stretch lazily and start a new day. But then he paused in surprise.

Lynn realized he suddenly had an additional perspective, turning his dual views into three.

He had a second new smurf account!

Could it be that yesterday's "wish" really worked? Does this mean I could soon have a tool at the level of a King of Angel... Ahem, does this mean I could save Little Red soon?

While pleasantly surprised, Lynn quickly switched his main consciousness to the newly opened smurf account, eager to see what the situation was.

But the next second, as Lynn successfully switched to the second smurf account, he was stunned to find himself... in outer space?

Beneath his "feet" was a familiar sapphire-blue planet, just like the ones he'd seen in documentaries, but with a transparent barrier covering its surface like an eggshell encasing it.

Not far from the blue planet, a huge blood-red sphere slowly orbited.

But that wasn't the main point. The main point was a giant, grotesque tree made of flesh and blood, its branches attacking a middle-aged man.

The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, with a serious and composed expression. Despite being at a disadvantage against the giant tree, he remained calm.

He had handsome features, his hair a unique void black with some white strands, and his striking blue eyes seemed to hold endless mysteries. He wore noble attire from the Fourth Epoch, adorned with numerous gemstones, indicating either a love for gems or a need for them in spellcasting.

Lynn blinked.

He couldn't help but look at the blue planet beneath him, then at the man fighting the giant tree. His first reaction was—Holy crap! His second reaction—

Damn! I hit the jackpot!

Despite the initial shock, upon realizing the identities of the two figures before him, Lynn charged forward.

"Hey! You Bitch Tree, let go of Mr. Door!"

While saying this, Lynn unhesitatingly attempted to draw power from his unknown true body.

It wasn't recklessness or fear of assimilation; Lynn knew that if Mr. Door fell, the Bitch Tree wouldn't spare him either. At that point, his self-defense mechanism would activate, likely still drawing from his true body's power.

Given this, it was better for Lynn to take the initiative. This way, he could at least leave a hint to break free, rather than relying on luck.

"Eh?"

Both Mr. Door and the Bitch Tree sensed Lynn's presence and turned to look. They saw a boy, around sixteen or seventeen, smiling brightly but without much emotion.

"Do you two want to play a game?"

As he spoke, time in the area froze. Though he invited them to play, Lynn didn't care whether Mr. Door and the Bitch Tree agreed.

As long as I want to play, you all have to play with me.

This was Lynn's current logic.

Willful and powerful, capricious and wanton.

...

For Mr. Door, also known as Bethel Abraham, today was the most tumultuous day of his life.

Whether it was the unlucky encounter with the immensely powerful Mother Tree of Desire while exploring the stars or being saved by a suddenly appearing boy when he was about to be corrupted, Bethel couldn't remain calm.

Especially the power the boy displayed, a power not inferior to the Mother Tree of Desire and even making it flee in panic, reminded Bethel Abraham of the legendary beings above Sequence 0, those of the Above The Sequence level.

...
