Chapter 143: Fast-Forward to Conflict

However, Lynn didn't reject this idea; instead, he was looking forward to the upcoming developments.

He never feared unveiling the "same person" scenario because, from the start, Lynn had written this script to eventually reveal it to Klein.

Since this was inevitable, instead of letting Klein discover it on his own and accidentally uncover his deepest secret, it was better to unveil the script himself first.

This way, Klein's attention would be more focused on the unique state of his humanity and divinity. Even if he exposed something in front of Klein in the future, he could have a more convincing excuse.

Thinking of this, Lynn excitedly clenched 0-08 in his hand.

He admitted that he was quite looking forward to the moment when the angelic disguise was revealed in front of Klein and seeing his reaction.

It would surely be very interesting!

"His first reaction will definitely be 'This is impossible' or 'So, Lynn has been playing me all along.' Then I'll let Lynn Sotos appear, giving him a little shock with a double Lynn..." Lynn thought, subconsciously curling his lips into a smile.

"But I can't explain the relationship too clearly. The truth easily obtained won't be cherished, nor will it gain trust. Only the truth one uncovers for oneself is most believed. If I easily tell him about the relationship between divinity and humanity, and explain this script, he might doubt its authenticity."

"So, rather than telling him directly, it's better to leave some records in the Fourth Epoch to guide him to this truth."

"And I, of course, will know nothing." Thinking of this, Lynn's smile became even brighter. He was perfecting the script in his mind and also thought of Sharron and Maric.

"This is just right. Let's start the script with Sharron and Maric. The young miss behind them and the involved Bitch Tree are enough reasons for the Angel of Secrets to appear. After all..." Lynn smiled warmly and kindly.

"The Angel of Secrets and the Bitch Tree are arch-enemies! The Bitch Tree has always coveted Sefirot. As a being intent on protecting the earth, the Angel of Secrets using this opportunity to have the inheritor of Sefirot and members of the Temperance Faction collaborate against the Rose School of Thought members who believe in the Bitch Tree is very reasonable, isn't it?"

"Although I really can't tell Klein about the matters of the Outer Gods, I can use this opportunity to hint at the apocalypse. This won't bring any Corruption and can motivate Klein to advance while explaining some of the Angel of Secrets' actions..."

Lynn toyed with 0-08, ruffling the feather on this pen that had killed countless owners, and his expression turned slightly subtle.

"Speaking of which, without my interference, wouldn't this development naturally fast-forward to a conflict?"

Lynn wanted to complain a bit. Sharron and Maric, who were avoiding the Rose School of Thought's pursuit, met Klein, who was wary and paid special attention to them, and might even report them. What a disastrous first meeting.

It wouldn't be surprising if they started fighting the next second!

But Lynn knew this was normal.

Klein hadn't left the Nighthawks yet, nor had he hired Sharron for protection. Through the three-day protection task, he had somewhat understood the character of the two Temperance Faction members and didn't know that the Rose School of Thought's Temperance Faction and Indulgence Faction had already fallen out.

In this situation, Klein's first reaction upon discovering suspected members of the Rose School of Thought would be to report them to the Evernight Church—after all, the Rose School of Thought had a notorious reputation!

Of course, Lynn admitted he might have had a little influence on this.

"If they really start fighting, it would be hilarious. If they drag Sharron into it and scare her away, how much fun would be lost? Given Klein's sensitivity to setups, he would probably blame it on me..."

Lynn muttered in his heart. As Klein's daily companion, Lynn knew very well that Klein entirely suspected his angelic disguise to be that of a script-obsessed maniac.

"Oh well, it's not bad. Having this preconceived notion might even make me seem more impressive in his eyes. Even if I'm not a script-obsessed maniac, having a persona that writes scripts based on prophecies sounds cool too." Lynn thoughtfully stroked his chin for three seconds, deciding which persona was cooler before continuing with his serious thoughts.

"Actually, if they really fight, it's not a bad thing. Then I can have the angelic disguise appear to save the day. As someone who can foresee the future, the Angel of Secrets certainly wouldn't want Mr. Fool to clash with the future messenger's students..." Lynn suddenly thought of a new script direction and seriously considered it.

"Then I can naturally involve myself in the subsequent actions against the Rose School of Thought. Maybe I can even get an Beyonder characteristic of a 'Puppet.' Since I've already revealed my disguise, I can directly give the characteristic to my main persona..."

"Some abilities from other pathways are quite useful..."

Lynn wasn't interested in purely offensive magical items, but he was somewhat interested in functional magical items.

Although Lynn could create scrolls from other pathways, it hadn't been revealed to Klein yet. Comparatively, using revealed magical items was more convenient.

As for the script... Lynn looked at the lines written by 0-08 and smiled.

"Well, then it's time to meet Klein. I wonder if he misses his dear Fellow Angel!"

...

As it turned out, Lynn's guess was right. Klein, Sharron, and Maric indeed almost fast-forwarded to a conflict.

This couldn't be blamed on any of them. Both sides were in a sensitive state for various reasons. Klein was worried about some grand conspiracy by the Rose School of Thought behind Sharron and Maric. They were also worried that Klein was involved with the pursuers from the Rose School of Thought or some official Beyonders aiming to capture them.

Plus, a little bit of guidance from a certain someone created this situation.

So when Lynn arrived on the scene with his divine incarnation, he saw both sides facing off in a small alley, separated by a short distance.
