Chapter 173: Lynn Discovers a Blind Spot

For example, Lynn could be considered a friendly entity to communicate with, or perhaps he could become a key ally for Medici, crucial for changing his own situation and aiding both him and the True Creator.

Thus, the hunter's instinct led Medici to conceal any remaining doubts and thoughts, deciding to interact with Lynn in the manner he remembered.

This was Medici, once one of the top conspirators. While emotions could sway him, benefits and reality were his primary considerations.

Lynn naturally saw through Medici's hidden suspicions and the reason for his current state.

One might say he was empty-headed and not very smart, but never doubt Lynn's keen perception of people.

In a certain sense, Lynn was actually very clever, just not good at scheming. If anyone tried to deceive him as a fool, they'd likely end up being deceived by Lynn, left with nothing but their underwear, and still feel grateful for his mercy.

However, despite understanding this, Lynn didn't care about Medici's hidden doubts or his reasons for his current attitude. He knew this was normal behavior for Medici.

Or rather, someone as cunning as him wouldn't easily abandon all suspicion in such circumstances, letting pure emotions dictate his actions. Considering benefits and reality was what someone like him should do.

Moreover, there was the precedent of Medici from the Fifth Epoch, so Lynn simply shrugged his shoulders sincerely and spread his hands, saying, "Honestly, I don't know either, but I definitely won't destroy this world, you can be assured."

Medici's blood-red eyes stayed on him for a few more seconds. It was unclear whether he believed him or not. He then crossed his arms and said, "I'll assume you don't know. So, why did you come here today?"

"First, to share the joy of Alista Tudor being beaten up," Lynn raised one finger.

Medici's lips curled slightly, clearly remembering something pleasant.

"Second, to bring you this Weather Warlock characteristic, helping you maintain yourself and gain basic self-defense capabilities," Lynn raised a second finger.

Medici's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unsurprised by this.

"Third…" Lynn raised a third finger and looked at Medici, "to take you away from here, back to the Solomon Empire, back to the True Creator."

Although his expression didn't change, Medici's clenched fists revealed his inner turmoil.

"Fourth, to discuss the dual godhood plan with you," Lynn smiled brightly as he said this.

"The dual godhood plan?" Medici raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding, "You want to become the Paragon?"

"Exactly!" Lynn nodded, not intending to hide this. After all, Medici was his intended ally, and even without emotions, out of sheer benefit, he wouldn't likely betray him.

So, Lynn smiled and recounted the plan he had mentioned in the Fifth Epoch, only vaguely describing some aspects, such as merely mentioning that the God of Death and the Primordial Demoness would cause a disaster in the future without going into specifics. He concluded by saying:

"If you agree, I'll help you ascend to the Red Priest position, and I'll need help from you and your allies to become the Paragon."

In this era, Medici not only represented himself but also the True Creator and the Black Emperor Solomon behind him.

This was one reason Lynn believed he could help Medici become a god. The True Creator would definitely support Little Red fervently, right?

Plus, with the ally Black Emperor Solomon and himself possessing Sequence 0-level strength, the chances of killing Tudor during chaotic times and supporting Medici to godhood were quite high.

Of course, Lynn knew that entities like the Six Gods, Evernight Goddess, God of Death, and Primordial Demoness wouldn't just let them easily send Medici to godhood. He himself would face obstacles when aiming for godhood, highlighting the importance of allies.

Once Lynn secretly contacted the Evernight Goddess and persuaded her to form an alliance, they might even pull in the Earth Mother, greatly enhancing their advantage. Their opponents weren't exactly united either.

Though they weren't completely united, their team spirit would likely be stronger.

Especially with Lynn as a guarantee for the lower limit, and the Evernight Goddess being a wise entity.

"Of course, I mean providing some Sequence 0-level assistance when you need it," Lynn added, making a small gesture, "I assume you don't need me to kill Alista Tudor directly and hand you his characteristic, right?"

"Ha…" Medici chuckled as if he heard something amusing. His blood-red eyes flickered with emotions, clearly thinking of something, and he said, "Indeed, I don't need that. Just your help at the right moment."

As a Spirit, these words might sound arrogant, but Medici had the confidence to say this. Firstly, he was cunning, and secondly, he had the True Creator and Solomon, both Sequence 0s, behind him.

Though the Four Emperors War was complex, such complexity was perfect for a conspirator.

It might require long-term planning, but Medici had the patience and could wait.

He would eventually turn Alista Tudor from a hunter into prey.

Lynn wasn't surprised by this. He just suddenly thought of a question, a blind spot he hadn't considered before.

In the original story, the God of Death seemed to have premeditated on the Red Priest's uniqueness, becoming one of the biggest beneficiaries after Tudor's death. By forcibly accommodating the Red Priest's uniqueness and the River of Eternal Darkness, he became a half-old one and went mad, initiating the Pale Disaster.

But if Tudor was killed by Medici, would the Red Priest's uniqueness still end up with the God of Death? Lynn doubted it.

And without the Red Priest's uniqueness, would the God of Death still initiate the Pale Disaster?

Lynn rubbed his chin, unsure.

After all, without the Red Priest's uniqueness, there was still the Justiciar's uniqueness. Maybe the God of Death could get that. Though there was a difference between the two for the God of Death, if he really wanted to cause trouble, forcibly accommodating it wasn't impossible.

That god wasn't a compliant one and definitely wouldn't wait quietly for death. The chance of him causing trouble was nearly a hundred percent.

Moreover, considering there was the Primordial Demoness on the opposing side, they might really snatch the Red Priest's uniqueness from Medici.

After all, Little Red would be at most Sequence 2 in the upcoming period. In a Sequence 0 battlefield, he could act as a strategist, luring Tudor into traps, and guiding the True Creator to kill the Blood Emperor. But it would be hard for him to fight directly, akin to how Antigonus watched from the sidelines.

However…

"...Medici ending the Pale Disaster as the Angel of Kings, completing the ceremony, and with the help of other gods, killing the God of Death, reclaiming the Red Priest's uniqueness, and ultimately ascending to Red Priesthood. It sounds epic?"
