Chapter 307: Arranging the Meeting Between Klein and the Emperor Countdown

"Her exact words were..." Lynn paused here, looking at Roselle's tense expression, before continuing, "I hope he can personally read those diaries he wrote to me."

Though the original phrase included the premise of meeting in the real world, that was based on Bernadette not knowing she could meet in dreams. In fact, Lynn was certain that tonight, when they meet, Bernadette would definitely want her dear father to read those diaries to her.

Roselle: ... Ahhh!

"Let me die! Corrupted personality? Corrupted personality, come back! Why aren't you coming back yet? Why are you so quiet..." Roselle exploded. Even though it was also about his daughter knowing the contents of the diary, having someone else read it to her was different from him reading it himself. There was no comparison!

Roselle knew exactly what kind of nonsense was in his diary. Just watching Lynn read those diaries to Bernadette made Roselle almost want to dig a hole with his toes, while also worrying that his daughter might kill him. If he had to read them himself...

"I don't think I deserve this!" Roselle said seriously and through gritted teeth as he looked at Lynn.

Though he planned to apologize to his daughter and win her over, he never imagined doing it like this! Was this reasonable?

"I think it's very reasonable!" Lynn shrugged and gave an innocent look, "And it's not me wanting to persecute you; your daughter asked for it herself. Actually, I was surprised she had this talent..."

"What talent! A talent for persecution?" Roselle was almost speechless, but Lynn seriously said.

"Would you mind recording what you just said and showing it to Bernadette?"

Roselle: ...

Roselle, who was about to curse regardless, suddenly stopped. He trembled as he raised his middle finger towards Lynn and then collapsed straight to the ground, looking as if he had died.

If it were someone else, they might panic, but Lynn wasn't fooled. He could tell that Roselle was just playing dead to avoid reality.

So, Lynn walked over, kicked Roselle twice, and smiled, "Instead of playing dead to avoid reality, I suggest you think about what to say when you meet your daughter tonight."

Roselle shot up, holding his kicked backside, and yelled, "You really kicked me!"

"Of course," Lynn said innocently.

"Lynn, I now suspect everything you said before was a lie. You're not divine; you're human," Roselle said with a grief-stricken look.

"If you had met Amon, you wouldn't think that. That Angel of Time also doesn't have normal human qualities. But in terms of evil pranks, my current state is still a bit behind him," Lynn said, adding silently in his mind: "Of course, if it were me from the Fourth Epoch, it would be the other way around."

It's not that Lynn had a huge difference in personality between the two timelines. The difference in circumstances led to different approaches. The Angel of Secrets, Lynn, indeed didn't mess around as much as the Mechanical Angel, Lynn, from the Fourth Epoch.

"Angel of Time, Amon? Isn't that the one you mentioned before? I've only read about him in texts. You seem to know him well?" Roselle muttered, then looked at Lynn.

"Not very well. Let's just say I've beaten, bombed, and persecuted him," Lynn smiled.

Roselle: ...

Roselle immediately thought of the time Lynn told him about making Amon's worms jump wildly. Though he didn't know the details, at that moment, Roselle genuinely felt pity for the Angel of Time, Amon.

How badly must he have been tormented?

"Why pity him? He doesn't deserve it. He's just a bad child who fantasizes about power but doesn't want to take responsibility," Lynn said slowly, noticing what Roselle was thinking.

"You should be glad I'm not on his side. If that bad child became the Lord of Mysteries, he wouldn't help this world resist the Outer Gods. He would abandon everyone and survive alone."

In this aspect, even the former Lord of Mysteries was better than Amon. The former, due to drawing too much hatred, was naturally an enemy of many Outer Gods. They wouldn't let him go even if he wanted to run.

Moreover, the former Lord of Mysteries had committed numerous sins, with countless prior offenses, toying with various Outer Gods. How could they let such a threat go?

They're mad, not stupid.

'Well, except for the Lamp Ginne, who might have been duped by the former Lord of Mysteries. Otherwise, why would he have invested in the next candidate after being deceived by the previous one...' Lynn mused, his thoughts flashing.

'Speaking of the Lamp Ginne, why not find him for research? He's a ready-made sample of an Outer God. Though Outer Gods differ, their corruption must have some commonalities.'

Lynn, rubbing his chin, finally considered the Lamp Ginne.

Roselle, unaware of Lynn's thoughts, frowned, saying, "Then you indeed did a good deed."

Upon realizing this world was his home, Roselle couldn't view it as just a game anymore. Naturally, he didn't want a future Lord of Mysteries who was irresponsible.

But... Roselle seemed to think of something and looked at Lynn, "Since you exist in the past, present, and future, you should know who the future Lord of Mysteries is, right?"

"I do," Lynn nodded, "In the original history, the one who first saw your corrupted state is the future Lord of Mysteries."

"He's on good terms with another version of me. When the time is right, I'll introduce you," Lynn smiled. One more won't hurt; he didn't mind letting Klein meet another fellow native.

Surely, seeing Roselle's persecution would make Klein appreciate his mildness more.

Everything is relative!

"He?" Roselle noticed the detail.

But Lynn didn't explain, just smiling at the clearly evasive Roselle, returning to the previous topic, "So, Roselle, are you ready to read your diaries to your daughter? I'll be supervising to prevent any cheating."

Roselle, trying to avoid the topic: ...

Ahhh!
