Chapter 168: Sharing Happiness with Little Red

In the Fourth Epoch, Lynn's second Smurf Account also left the Abraham family's residence.

He was going to meet the Medici of this era, who had just recently become an evil spirit, and give him a gift.

...

Inside the underground ruins, Medici raised his eyes to look at the space door that had just opened in front of him, raising his eyebrows as he already guessed who the visitor was.

After all, in this era, the only people who would come to see him as an evil spirit, apart from the descendants of the Tudor family he controlled, would be a certain heartless brother.

As it turned out, Medici's guess was right. Lynn walked out of the space door, but what surprised Medici a little was that another person followed behind him, someone who looked exactly like Lynn and had the same aura.

"Lynn, did you finally lose your patience and split yourself in half? How should I address you two now, Lynn A and Lynn B? Or do you want to imitate Amon? I'm afraid you don't have that talent because you don't have his brain."

Medici's tone was immediately sarcastic. As a former King of Angels, he naturally realized right away that the other person was Lynn's avatar.

However, what made Medici slightly wary was that Lynn's new avatar felt very peculiar, not like an ordinary avatar.

"You can call me Lynn, and call him Angel of Secrets," Lynn responded with a smile, retorting without hesitation, "And frankly, having avatars in this world is quite normal. There are many big shots with Smurf Accounts. But, Little Red, you are unique in merging three accounts into one."

Lynn was not afraid to poke at Medici's sore spot. After all, he would change this history sooner or later, and he had just helped Little Red defeat the Tudors, giving him some confidence.

"Heh, I should have inherited the Sage's Characteristics while you inherited the Weather Warlock's Characteristics," Medici's expression turned ugly. Being turned into a hotpot was a lifelong pain and humiliation for him.

If he were still a King of Angels, Medici might have been able to control his emotions better and not be easily provoked by such topics.

But now Medici was an evil spirit, and being able to maintain his sanity was already thanks to Adam's silent manipulation. You can't expect an evil spirit to control their emotions well. Medici not losing his mind and refraining from wanton malice was already a good result.

"It's better not to. I'm afraid we both wouldn't achieve much, and that would be terrifying," Lynn said seriously, leaving people unsure whether to admire his self-awareness or see it as more sarcasm.

However, before Medici could speak sarcastically again, Lynn preemptively said, "I saw Alista Tudor."

"What?" Medici's words of provocation that were on the tip of his tongue were immediately forgotten. He almost instantly became energetic, no longer lazy, and even the two scars on his face seemed to become active.

"Is he still alive?" Medici's look at Lynn was somewhat terrifying, but not directed at Lynn, rather at a certain man who had been dead for countless years.

Evidently, although he knew of Lynn's special nature, as a mythological creature from a time with normal flow and no changes before Lynn's arrival, Medici's first reaction was not that Lynn saw Tudor in the past, but suspicion that the long-dead Tudor might have survived.

This is not surprising. Creatures have inertia in their thinking, and Sequence 0 beings are not easily killed. While Red Priest is not as hard to kill as the three families' Sequence 0s, it's not impossible for him to have some contingency to survive.

This is common knowledge among big shots in this world. High Sequences are hard to kill, and the higher the sequence, the harder it gets. When it reaches the level of Great Old Ones like the Lord of Mysteries and the God Almighty, they can teach you in person what it means to "still be able to resurrect in you after being dead for countless years."

Medici himself is a witness to this. Though he was turned into hotpot, lost his Characteristics, and became an evil spirit, he still survived, retaining his rank.

Otherwise, Medici could not have used the unowned Red Priest Uniqueness to respond to prayers, and in the later stages of the story, directly take and consume the Conqueror Characteristics traded by the Demoness Sect and the Augustus family, regaining the Sequence 1 Conqueror status, even attempting to devour the Primordial Demoness, although he got betrayed by Amon again.

Such experiences made Medici's first reaction to Lynn's words naturally suspect that Tudor survived by some means.

"Honestly, in this era, I'm not sure if Tudor is still alive. But I didn't say I saw him in this era..." Lynn said unhurriedly, shaking his head while looking at Medici, smiling, "Remember I said I would change your fate?"

"You..." Medici instantly realized something, his blood-red pupils slightly dilating. But the next second, Lynn's words made the hotpot evil spirit almost stage a brotherly brawl on the spot.

"However, I'm sorry to say, I did not succeed in returning to the time before your fall," Lynn said, his smile fading as he sincerely apologized.

Medici: ...

Can you stop with the suspense?

Medici was speechless, but at the same time, as a cunning conspirator, he had already guessed the follow-up to Lynn's words.

So Medici said, "You said you didn't manage to return before my fall, meaning you went to an era after my fall, right?"

"Yes, indeed. You're very smart," Lynn sincerely complimented before continuing, "I went back to the era of the Four Emperor's War."

"Tch." Hearing this expected result, Medici clicked his tongue, not knowing whether to feel disappointed or regretful.

"Although I couldn't rescue you directly, I did get back at them for you," Lynn continued, sharing his joy with Medici, "I blew up Amon, making him feel pain equivalent to having one-third of his Time Worms repeatedly killed, and turned him into a child."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Medici's mouth lifted a bit. Not only that, but his aura, which had been agitated due to Alista Tudor, also calmed down a lot, clearly showing that his mood had improved significantly.

This is not surprising. As the former caretaker of the mischievous child, who genuinely raised Amon, Medici had suffered countless times at Amon's hands and had long wanted to punish this brat.

Hearing today that this brat got his comeuppance at the hands of an even brattier brat, how could Medici not be happy?

Lynn naturally noticed Medici's mood change and immediately struck while the iron was hot:

"Not to mention, Amon truly lives up to his name. After turning into a child, he tried to use this advantage to make me soft-hearted and almost succeeded. But luckily, at the critical moment, I thought of you, who gets beaten by me every day, and suddenly, Amon's child attack didn't seem like much."
