Chapter 353: Watching the Eternal Sun Get Beaten Up

Trunsoest, whether he saw through the Eternal Blazing Sun's concealment or not, simply smiled and said, "It seems that Libert Abraham is more like the host of today's banquet than I am..." His tone carried a hint of teasing, as well as a touch of resignation.

"Well, he'd have to attend the banquet first. Though, the host of this banquet will always be you and Auernia," Aucuses shrugged and replied.

Trunsoest chuckled upon hearing this, then said, "I'll go greet the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms. We'll talk later."

Aucuses didn't mind this at all. He waved his hand to signal Trunsoest to go, then added, "I have something to attend to tonight. I might leave early, so don't mind me!"

'So... it's really you!'

Trunsoest muttered in his heart. Although he had already guessed it, he couldn't help but feel genuinely happy when the result was confirmed.

There wasn't any special reason, mainly he just wanted to see the Eternal Blazing Sun in trouble.

If it were any other of the six Gods, the Trunsoest might have been a bit worried, but not for him. He didn't have the leisure to sympathize with him, especially since the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Combat had always restricted him the most, practically wanting to turn him into a puppet.

Thus, with a smile, Trunsoest approached the Evernight Goddess and exchanged a few pleasantries: "It's rare to see you at a banquet. I remember you don't usually like such occasions."

"I don't, but sometimes one needs to get out and about, right?" Amanises responded with a smile.

After exchanging a few more words, they parted ways with smiles. The Night Emperor Trunsoest then had to greet the Lord of Storms, all while pondering a bit more.

'The Evernight Goddess seems to know... the Eternal Blazing Sun was going to have a bad time today?'

Trunsoest refrained from looking at the trio in the corner who were eating, drinking, and teasing Tiny Amon. Soon, he approached the Lord of Storms, who was drinking alone. After exchanging pleasantries, Trunsoest chatted briefly with the other high-sequence attendees, but a part of his attention remained on the Eternal Blazing Sun's movements.

Finally, Trunsoest noticed the Eternal Blazing Sun leaving the banquet hall, accompanied by the God of Crafts.

He also noticed that the trio in the corner, eating and teasing Tiny Amon, had vanished.

'It's starting...' Trunsoest murmured, and seconds later, he indeed sensed a disturbance.

Not far from the palace, the Eternal Blazing Sun's aura flared for a moment before disappearing.

'Space transference? It must be the work of Mr Door...' Trunsoest assessed the situation. He calmed the high-sequence guests who also sensed the disturbance, then headed towards the source of the vanished aura.

Due to his deal with Lynn, Trunsoest didn't plan to rescue anyone. As Lynn had said, he intended to watch.

Watch and see what Libert Abraham could do and what made him special.

As he moved, Trunsoest noticed the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms also heading out. Both seemed to be in no hurry, not keen on rescuing anyone.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the three sequence 0 beings exchanged glances, and an understanding formed.

'So, you're also here to watch!' This is Trunsoest.

'When did you start colluding with Lynn?' This is Amanises.

'So, we're really not rescuing anyone?' This is the Lord of Storms.

If Aucuses, currently being beaten up by Lynn, knew what his good friends were thinking and doing, he'd probably feel quite "touched"!

Meanwhile—

As the Night Emperor Trunsoest, the Evernight Goddess, and the Lord of Storms leisurely made their way to the scene, intending to watch rather than rescue, the Eternal Blazing Sun finally faced Lynn in a sealed spirit world.

"It's you!" Aucuses's pupils quaked. Like everyone else, upon seeing Lynn, the fog in his memory cleared. He recognized Lynn and saw Bethel beside him, instantly realizing another truth—Lynn was Libert Abraham.

So that's it!

'No wonder Evernight and others behaved so strangely. Damn, not one of them warned me...' Aucuses felt like cursing but in the outside remained extremely calm. He focused on Lynn and said, "I don't think we have any grudges between us."

"How so? Did you forget you backstabbed the Ancient Sun God and caused Sasrir to fall?" Lynn said with a smile. As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and Aucuses expression changed drastically. Lynn continued, "And a friendly reminder, don't try any tricks in front of me. I'm not blind."

Aucuses quickly said, "I know you're strong, but using that kind of power comes with a price, doesn't it? I am a sequence 0 after all. Killing me isn't easy. There's no need to pay such a heavy price for a dead person."

"I think we can talk. I'm willing to atone for my past mistakes."

"Hah..." Lynn chuckled, tilting his head slightly as he looked at Aucuses, speaking slowly, "First, I don't think we have anything to talk about."

"Second, if you're stalling for time, waiting for someone to save you, don't bother. Time here flows differently from the outside. We have plenty of time to settle old scores before your allies arrive."

'And all your allies are my allies. Even if they're flimsy allies, they all enjoy watching you suffer...' Lynn added in his heart.

Though he wanted to flaunt this, Lynn, being a reliable ally, had a sense of secrecy and wouldn't betray anyone.

Aucuses had no idea that his three closest rescuers were all traitors, but Lynn's words made his expression change. He realized stalling here was indeed futile.

"But you don't need to worry. I don't plan to kill you."

Just as Aucuses was about to fight to the death, he heard Lynn say this.

The young angel's smile was warm and bright, with a touch of youthful innocence: "I just want to beat you up and take the Paragon's Uniqueness."

"Maybe you should try not to resist?"
