Chapter 318: The Proposal of the Angel of Secrets

"The nature of my relationship with Him depends on His choice..." The Angel of Secrets spoke with a somewhat meaningful tone. Glancing at Klein, He smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Ah, oh, please come in!" Klein was momentarily stunned, then quickly stepped aside to let the Angel of Secrets in. After the Angel of Secrets sat on the sofa, Klein asked, "Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee will do. My taste is no different from Lynn's," the Angel of Secrets replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Klein glanced at him, then made two cups of coffee. As he handed one to the Angel of Secrets, he asked, "Is there something you need from me? Should I call Lynn over?"

As he asked this, Klein mentally prepared himself for some surprising news. After all, visits from the angel were never trivial matters.

"You don't need to call him. I've already notified him, and he will be here shortly," the Angel of Secrets said, taking a sip of coffee slowly.

Sure enough, a few seconds after the Angel of Secrets spoke, the wind chime at the door rang. Soon, the sofa opposite Mr. Fool had two identical people sitting on it.

"I mean... why don't you put on a mask or change your appearance? This feels weird, like I'm looking in a mirror," Lynn frowned, looking troubled as he addressed the Angel of Secrets next to him.

—Let's reiterate, Lynn is a professional when it comes to playing roles.

"You'll get used to it..." The Angel of Secrets cast a glance at the drama king and spoke indifferently.

"Is this really about getting used to it?" Lynn rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Klein watched the interaction between the two, his mouth twitching slightly, unsure of what to say. He handed the other cup of coffee to Lynn, made himself a cup, and then looked at the angel, asking, "Can you tell us why you're here now?"

"I'm here mainly for three reasons..." The Angel of Secrets looked at Klein and smiled, "First, I want to exchange the Cards of Blasphemy with you for a period of time. I want to exchange my Red Priest card for the Black Emperor card that you are about to obtain. It won't be for long, just two months."

Hearing this, Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is this what you saw in the future? So that bookmark is indeed a Card of Blasphemy, and which pathway is the Black Emperor?"

"This is indeed the future I saw. As for the Black Emperor, it belongs to the Lawyer pathway," the Angel of Secrets replied, then added, "This pathway would actually suit your brother. If you wish to make him a Beyonder, he can take this pathway."

Lynn's words were sincere; he genuinely believed that Benson was well-suited for the Lawyer pathway. Moreover, in this apocalyptic era, becoming a Beyonder carried less risk than before, and the times were more dangerous than ever. Thus, there was no better era to become a Beyonder than now.

Klein frowned at these words. He wasn't surprised that the angel knew about Benson, but he was a bit anxious. "What have you seen?"

Klein didn't think the angel would suggest this without reason.

"This is the best era to become a Beyonder, and also the most dangerous," Lynn manipulated the Angel of Secrets to show a mysterious expression and continued, "War will come soon, both in the mundane world and in the mystical. In any other era, I wouldn't suggest your family become Beyonders, but in this era, although there are risks for ordinary people becoming Beyonders, it's not necessarily a bad thing. At least when danger comes, they will have some ability to protect themselves."

Lynn wasn't lying; war was inevitable. In the original work, the final war that turned everything into chaos was due to the accumulated contradictions of the era. Although the churches and the Seven Gods played a significant role, even without them, the war would have likely broken out; it was just a matter of time.

It was the choice of the era and a historical inevitability, just as the Industrial Revolution would have come even without Roselle. The gods acted as a catalyst, determining who would emerge victorious in the war.

"War..." Klein's frown deepened. He did not doubt the angel's words, but they alarmed him.

As someone who had received nine years of compulsory education, Klein understood what war meant. Once the flames of war ignited, ordinary people like Benson and Melissa could easily be drawn in and become cannon fodder, dying without a clear cause.

Even though Klein himself was a Sequence 7 Beyonder, he couldn't guarantee his survival in a war.

"But the risks of becoming a Beyonder..." Klein hesitated.

The extraordinary powers in this world weren't necessarily benevolent; Beyonders often faced the risk of losing control. While Klein wanted his brother and sister to have more protection, he worried about the potential for tragic accidents before war even broke out.

"This is the best era to become a Beyonder..." The Angel of Secrets repeated, smiling at Klein, "If you are worried about the risk of losing control, I can assure you that in this apocalyptic era, the risk of losing control for low- and mid-sequence Beyonders has decreased significantly. There has never been a better time to become a Beyonder."

Klein pondered this, then asked, "Will they... face danger?"

The Angel of Secrets looked at Klein and, without hiding anything, said, "In the original future, you saved them, but now, everything has slightly changed. I can't be sure if you can still save them in this current future."

Klein's pupils contracted sharply. He knew what the Angel of Secrets meant, causing him to purse his lips. A few seconds later, he made a decision.

He looked at the Angel of Secrets and seriously asked, "Can I purchase the Savant pathway potion formula from you?"

He knew that his brother and sister were likely to be drawn into the war and face danger in the future. Thus, Klein decided to ask for their opinions. If they were willing, he would help them become Beyonders.

Klein intended to buy the Savant potion formula for Melissa. He knew how much she loved things about machinery, so the Savant pathway was most suitable for her.
