Chapter 365: Lynn Meets Medici for the First Time

Upon hearing those words, Azik's expression also turned somewhat complicated. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the True Creator's camp was indeed indescribably bizarre.

Yet, despite this bizarre lineup, it had once crushed other factions into submission—primarily due to Lynn's presence.

"Who said there aren't any normal people? Solomon is a normal person!" Lynn spread his hands and said, "Although I don't remember much about the Black Emperor Solomon, at least he seemed quite proper."

"Solomon? proper? He was nothing but a hopeless perfectionist."

A slightly sarcastic voice suddenly rang out, leaving Lynn stunned for a moment. He turned his head in surprise, only to see Medici had somehow already appeared in the living room.

'What? Why is he here? Is he getting ready to head to the Forsaken Land of the Gods?'

Lynn was puzzled, and along with that puzzlement came a hint of nervousness. It wasn't for any specific reason—he was just worried that Medici might suddenly reveal his hidden identity.

Although Lynn could beat Medici up afterward as payback, it would be difficult to explain things to Klein.

"Who are you?" Klein almost immediately stood up, staring at the "unexpected guest" in the living room.

"Your Highness Medici, why are you here?" Azik recognized Medici, as part of his restored memories involved the latter.

"You… are Little Red?" Lynn feigned a look of curiosity and confusion as he gazed at Medici, as if sizing him up. Out of Azik and Klein's sight, however, Lynn discreetly raised a fist in Medici's direction.

It was a small gesture, and even if someone noticed, they'd probably think Lynn was just clenching his fist out of nervousness. But Medici understood it as a threat, with the implied message being: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll beat you up when you were young!"

"Heh!" Medici sneered, sweeping his gaze over the others in the living room. He also recognized Azik, the former Death Consul, who had been swayed by Lynn into joining his ranks.

Clearly, this version of Azik hadn't escaped Lynn's influence and was even more deeply deceived.

'Ha, poor guy!' Medici inwardly mocked Azik without a hint of pity before his eyes fell on Klein.

Although he didn't recognize Klein, Medici could roughly guess who this low- to mid-sequence individual was—probably Lynn's good friend in this era, the future Lord of Mysteries.

'Tsk, he doesn't seem that special. Can this guy really defeat Amon?' Medici had his doubts as he looked at Lynn. The young angel appeared frail, as if Medici could easily crush him with a single finger.

But Medici knew this was just an illusion; if Lynn wanted, he could still raise a fist the size of a sandbag and pummel a Sequence 0 into the ground.

'Even if that power would come at a cost…' Medici frowned slightly at the thought, unsure if it was out of frustration or disdain. Crossing his arms, he looked at Lynn with a slightly raised chin, his voice dripping with provocation, "You should be calling me brother."

"Huh?" Lynn was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow.

He realized that Medici was also threatening him—if Lynn didn't call him brother, Medici would immediately expose his secret identity.

Heh, it seems this rascal needs to be put in his place!

Lynn thought to himself as he put on a confused and puzzled expression, looking at Medici as he said, "That's not right. According to my diary, you should be the one calling me brother."

—Subtext: I'm giving you one more chance, considering I'm your brother. Think carefully about what you're going to say.

Headstrong as always, Medici chose to bravely confront him, flashing a brazen smile as he said, "That's just your delusion. I'm the big brother here. Be good, call me brother, or else..."

He raised a hand, and a small flame ignited in his palm, illuminating half of his face.

"—I'll burn you!"

Clearly, Medici was banking on Lynn not wanting his identity exposed.

"You..." Klein frowned at Medici's obviously threatening words, but just as he was about to say something, Azik stopped him.

Azik shook his head at Klein, signaling him not to act rashly and to be patient.

"Medici won't harm Lynn," Azik whispered.

His voice wasn't loud, but in the spacious living room, it was loud enough that all the angels could hear. It was hard to tell if he meant it unintentionally or on purpose.

Medici's eyebrow twitched, and he gave Azik a meaningful glance without saying anything, not even extinguishing the flame in his palm.

"Then go ahead and burn me!" Lynn, however, was even more shameless. As if inspired by Azik's words, not only did he show no fear, but he also walked right up to Medici, grabbing Medici's flaming hand.

The flame extinguished instantly, without causing Lynn any harm, which made both Azik and Klein breathe a sigh of relief.

However, what they didn't know was that beneath this seemingly deep brotherly bond, Lynn and Medici were actually fighting.

Not just in this time and space—where they were currently engaged in a silent struggle—but also in the Second Epoch, where their younger selves were already wrestling with each other—although young Medici had no idea what was happening, it didn't stop him from brawling with his mischievous brother.

—Azik wasn't entirely wrong, but that was based on the premise that, in the eyes of these two brothers, fighting didn't count as harm; it was just part of their daily routine.

After a moment of this unseen struggle, Lynn finally manipulated his divine avatar to arrive fashionably late:

"Medici, did you travel all this way just to bully my human half?"

"Tsk, I have no interest in bullying this guy." Medici nonchalantly retracted his hand, hiding it behind his back as if it didn't hurt at all. He looked at Lynn's divine avatar and said:

"I just came to see how your preparations are going. If you keep stalling, that little raven might catch wind of it and flee! Who would've thought you weren't here, and these guys were discussing us. Hmph!"

Despite all the playful banter, Medici ultimately chose to go along with Lynn's script.

Perhaps it was because he knew that if he didn't, an enraged Lynn might really hunt him down.
