Chapter 130: The Frustrated Lamp god
This hobby is quite nice.
It's a good opportunity to try and bribe Sharon. Once the link is established, perhaps her true emotional changes can be glimpsed.
Now she's like a puppet, sometimes showing a hint of micro-expression, but often it's hard to read her specific emotional fluctuations.
Hasta quickly made up his mind, smiling, "Of course, I think under Miss Sharon's supervision, I might not need three days to write an interesting story."
Sharon just nodded, showing no joy over this matter.
"Now, would Miss Sharon please tell me about your adventures outside?"
Although Hastur had heard it once from Maric, he wanted to hear Sharon's version of the adventure story.
It was after eleven when Sharon, having finished the adventure story, left the mirror.
Before leaving, she specifically mentioned that Bernadette would soon leave Beckland, so he wouldn't have to avoid her deliberately anymore.
After seeing off Sharon, Hastur checked the time, returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and entered the Hall of Stars.
A lot has happened recently, and it's time to talk to the Mother Tree of Desire and the Overstar Lord.
As for the Lamp god… after Bernadette's successful promotion to Sequence 2, it will probably be even harder for it to cause trouble.
The Hall of Stars.
Chains of Order flew out from behind Hastur, landing on three stars, summoning the Mother Tree of Desire, the Overstar Lord, and the Lamp god.
When the three Outer Gods took their seats in the Hall of Stars, Hastur first turned his gaze to the Lamp god.
Today's Lamp godobviously lacked its usual vigor and had become somewhat silent and reticent, probably feeling that its situation was worrisome.
The Mother Tree of Desire was still hard to read, and the Overstar Lord glanced at the Lamp god indifferently, without speaking.
Without the Lamp god initiating conversation to liven up the atmosphere, the Hall of Stars first fell into a brief silence, then Hastur spoke to break the spreading quiet.
"A very exciting collaboration."
The Lamp god's gaze flickered, and it hummed softly without speaking.
The collaboration between the Mother Tree of Desire and the Overstar Lord was undoubtedly a great success, but it, unable to use this opportunity to escape the seal of the Wishing Lamp, was further trapped by Bernadette's promotion to Sequence 2, making the seal even more solid, now unable to even manifest a shadow.
It had truly become Bernadette's prisoner.
The Overstar Lord looked at the Lamp god and said indifferently, "It was just a small attempt."
The Mother Tree of Desire didn't miss the chance to suppress the Lamp god, "The divine scourge has already taken a risk in Beckland, even bringing about the storm's divine punishment, thus suffering heavy damage, and you seem to still be imprisoned in the Wishing Lamp?"
The Lamp god's face darkened, and it said unpleasantly, "Hah, isn't it because your foolish son lacks ability? He clearly had the chance to take away the Wishing Lamp, but he was discovered by the storm, bringing about the storm's divine punishment."
The Mother Tree of Desire was generous this time, not arguing with the Lamp god, just saying lightly, "The divine scourge has been heavily damaged and can't act for a short time, our cooperation ends here."
"…"
The Lamp godfelt frustrated but had nothing to say.
It had joined forces with the Mother Tree of Desire against Bernadette several times, but could never do anything to her, instead allowing her to find the opportunity to promote to Sequence 2.
With the powerful seal she held, escaping from the divine scourge Sauron was no longer as difficult as before.
Now, the Rose School was being targeted by the seven orthodox churches, already in a precarious situation.
Ending the cooperation was a very normal decision.
"Wait a few more years, and I might be able to help you take back the Wishing Lamp."
The Overstar Lord spoke, full of mockery towards the Lamp god.
The Lamp god retorted without showing weakness, "Hmph, just afraid you won't last that long."
"I still have that confidence."
"Heh, blind arrogance will only lead to your failure."
"Like you?"
"…"
The Lamp godreally wanted to curse out loud, but the situation was stronger than the person.
The Mother Tree of Desire clearly stood firmly on the side of the Overstar Lord, the Star Returner remained neutral, and it was fighting alone.
Hastur silently watched, eating melon seeds, as he realized that the Lamp god, the Child of Chaos, must have had very poor relationships in the starry sky.
The Overstar Lord was obviously squeezing the Lamp god on purpose; otherwise, with its character, it would be hard to be so active.
"Don't be too happy too soon, the high-dimensional observer has also cast its gaze from the starry sky, watching your every move."
The Lamp god changed the subject, deliberately mentioning the high-dimensional observer, obviously trying to muddy the waters.
The Mother Tree of Desire said calmly, "It's just peering, ignore it."
Hastur's thoughts moved, deliberately using the power of the Hall of Stars to manifest the star where the high-dimensional observer was located in the Hall of Stars.
The Mother Tree of Desire, the Overstar Lord, and the Lamp godall looked over.
"Tsk, just a line of latitude hanging down, it seems very cautious."
This was the voice of the Lamp god, feeling a bit like comrades in misfortune.
"Compared to us, it's easier for it to project its power into the initial barrier."
"Scattered power is not enough to be a threat."
The Overstar Lord calmly gave his assessment, not caring about the high-dimensional observer's appearance within the initial barrier.
Listening to this conversation, Hastur gained a deeper understanding of the state of the high-dimensional observer.
"Very suitable to help us distract the attention of the seven churches."
The Mother Tree of Desire had an idea.
It resided in the starry sky and never considered the so-called seven gods as opponents, but its followers couldn't, and now with the seven gods cooperating, if they weren't careful, the entire libertine faction of the Rose School it influenced could be annihilated.
"If you want to cooperate with it, unless you tell it something of interest."
The Lamp god said, deliberately looking at Hastur.
Its meaning was clear; if the Mother Tree of Desire really reached cooperation with the high-dimensional observer, it would inevitably be by betraying the existence of the Hall of Stars to gain this opportunity for cooperation.
Hastur looked at the Mother Tree of Desire, waiting for its statement.
The Mother Tree of Desire declared, "I wouldn't be so foolish."
If it really betrayed the news of this Star Returner to reach cooperation with the high-dimensional observer.
Then it was certain that as soon as it reached cooperation, the Star Returner would pull the high-dimensional observer into the Hall of Stars.
At that time, its situation would be very awkward.
And now, the Hall of Stars suited its needs more, as it suppressed the Lamp god with the Overstar Lord, thus being able to hold more sway in the starry gatherings.
Bringing in another high-dimensional observer would break this situation.
The Lamp god said disdainfully, "Who knows."
Hastur looked meaningfully at the Mother Tree of Desire, "My game with it isn't over yet."
The veiled threat made the Mother Tree of Desire feel a bit uneasy.
Regarding this Star Returner, it and the Overstar Lord still hadn't figured out the details and didn't want to provoke its hostility just like that.
"I also hate those who disrupt the balance of the game." The Lamp god smiled happily.
"Just like your game with the lord of the Mystery?"
The Overstar Lord knew how to insert a knife into the Lamp god's lungs at the right time.
"…"
The Lamp god was both angry and furious, but had no way to deal with the Overstar Lord.
The Mother Tree of Desire also timely added, "I heard that you jumped into the Wishing Lamp on your own initiative? Such a way of playing the game is really quite unique."
"…"
The Lamp godfelt very frustrated, and in the end, it just snorted coldly, ignoring the provocations of the Overstar Lord and the Mother Tree of Desire.
Hastur held back a smile and said indifferently, "Under the watch of the stars, everything is like a game."
"Compared to a game, I prefer destruction."
Just with this sentence, Hastur understood that the Overstar Lord was the most determined destroyer among the three Outer Gods.
The Lamp god was trying hard just to return to the starry sky, the Mother Tree of Desire wanted to take back its essence and extraordinary paths, and they didn't care whether the Earth was destroyed or not.
Only the Overstar Lord had long been prepared to offer a firework to the entire universe when the initial barrier disappeared.
"Heh, madman." The Lamp god gave a fitting evaluation.
"Don't rush, that planet seems to still hold many secrets." The Mother Tree of Desire also disagreed with the Overstar Lord's philosophy.
The Overstar Lord chuckled and said, "Perhaps the so-called secrets are just a coincidence."
The Lamp god looked at the Overstar Lord with an idiotic gaze, full of mockery, "You were the first to awaken here, God and the lord of the Mystery chose to make further attempts here, do you think they are stupider than you?"
This time the Mother Tree of Desire didn't speak, obviously sharing the same thoughts as the Lamp god.
Otherwise, why would a circle of Outer Gods surround the initial barrier? Many of them don't need the essence and extraordinary paths here.
They came here because of the initial, because
They came here because of the initial, because of the choices made by God and the lord of the Mystery.
Whether to witness or to participate directly, they all want to glimpse the secrets hidden here.
The Overstar Lord remained calm, "When everything explodes, whatever secrets there are will be exposed in the starry sky."
"Aren't you afraid that the secrets here will be destroyed by your brute force?"
"If it can be easily destroyed, then it's not worth God and the lord of the Mystery leaving it here."
The Overstar Lord's view was clear: wait for the initial barrier to disappear, blow up the entire planet first, then search for the so-called secrets.
