Chapter 354: Everyone is an Oscar-Winning Actor

"Maybe you should try not to resist?" Lynn's words were undoubtedly serious. He really didn't intend to kill Aucuses; this traitor wasn't worth the effort.

But it was clear that Aucuses wasn't going to stop resisting just because of Lynn's words. He was never the type to let others decide his fate. Or rather, Aucuses didn't fully trust Lynn; he feared that giving up resistance would result in being effortlessly killed.

However, Lynn's words weren't completely ineffective. Although Aucuses did resist, it was clear he wasn't fighting desperately. He was caught between not fully believing Lynn and holding onto a bit of hope.

After all, not only would it cost Lynn a significant effort to kill Aucuses, but if Aucuses fought desperately using his trump cards, it would also cost him dearly.

Under these circumstances, without a real sense of life-threatening danger, Aucuses maintained only a limited resistance. Simply put, he resisted, but not too much.

It was just enough to avoid making Lynn pay too high a price, but still very frustrating, making Lynn feel that not giving Aucuses a thorough beating would be a loss.

One has to admit, Aucuses had a knack for putting himself in such situations.

Because of this, when Trunsoest, the Evernight Goddess, and the Lord of Storms arrived late, just in time to witness the end of the incident, what they saw was Aucuses sprawled on the ground, battered and bloody, with a golden sack torn open on his head. His handsome face was swollen like a pig's head.

Aucuses wasn't unconscious; he was just lying there. Judging from the positions of his limbs, it seemed like every possible bone was broken.

Of course, this didn't mean the Sequence 0 had completely lost his ability to fight back. Despite being severely injured, as a mythical creature, Aucuses still had the ability to launch a desperate counterattack or even escape at a great cost if Lynn truly intended to kill him.

Never underestimate the survival abilities of a Sequence 0. Not everyone is God of Combat. Aucuses lay there like a dead dog because he realized it was the most cost-effective approach.

Lynn, a mysterious figure suspected of existing across multiple timelines, with immense combat power and possibly a vessel for the revival of some great entity, surprisingly only wanted to steal the Uniqueness of the Paragon and beat him up a bit.

Honestly, although Aucuses had harbored a glimmer of hope from the start, the fact before him still left him dumbfounded.

Lynn could see through Aucuses's thoughts, but he didn't care. After giving Aucuses a thorough beating, Lynn, feeling refreshed, stretched lazily and casually looked at the three gods who had arrived late. He smiled and said, "Since you all are here now, I'll leave him to you. I suggest finding the Earth Mother to treat him. Although it won't heal these wounds, it might reduce his pain. Hehe!"

Lynn was speaking the truth. Although the wounds on Aucuses seemed like ordinary injuries, each spot Lynn had hit contained a trace of time's power.

This was a new skill Lynn had developed. The principle was complex and hard to explain, but the effect was simple: it could fix a certain state on a living being without involving the soul. For example, if he used this skill on an eighteen-year-old girl, her appearance would remain eighteen for a century or so.

As for Aucuses, the fixed state was naturally his injuries. As a Sequence 0 with various extraordinary abilities, the fixed injuries wouldn't last a century, but they would be enough to make him suffer for a while.

"Lynn, I think we need an explanation," Amanises said calmly after glancing at the badly injured Aucuses.

"Why are you here, and why did you seriously injure the Eternal Blazing Sun?"

Amanises, known for helping Lilith deceive and pit God of Combat, didn't disappoint. Although she was directly involved in the plan to beat up the Eternal Blazing Sun and steal the Paragon's Uniqueness, she could still ask these questions without batting an eye.

Of the gods present, only Aucuses wasn't aware of the close relationship between Amanises and Lynn.

So, when Amanises spoke, Trunsoest remained expressionless, thoughtfully looking at the Eternal Blazing Sun on the ground. The Lord of Storms hesitated, glancing at the Evernight Goddess several times, wanting to say something but holding back.

"Of course, I came here as a tourist, just settling old scores with the Eternal Blazing Sun and taking what's mine," Lynn said with a smile, even spreading his hands innocently. "You all arrived so aggressively, you almost scared me."

There was a few seconds of silence after Lynn spoke. Even Azik, who had been holding the cage with Tiny Amon throughout the whole incident, found Lynn's words too outrageous at that moment.

Fortunately, everyone present, except for the unfortunate Aucuses, had some relationship with Lynn. Even if they didn't, like Trunsoest, they had interacted with Lynn and made some deals.

Everyone had a certain understanding of Lynn's character. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Amanises continued calmly, "I hope we didn't leave a bad impression. However, Lynn, I must state that the Six Gods are an alliance. We always stand together. So, no matter what grievances you have with the Eternal Blazing Sun, we cannot stand idly by. I hope you understand."

"If this happens again, the Six Gods will fully oppose you."

Lynn almost burst out laughing. He blinked, trying to hold back his laughter, and after a few seconds, said, "If he doesn't provoke me again, I think there won't be a next time. I'm a very good-tempered person; I never hit people casually."

Amanises didn't comment on that.

The Lord of Storms turned his head, possibly to hide his expression.

Trunsoest's gaze remained on the Eternal Blazing Sun, his lips twitching slightly.

Azik looked down at Tiny Amon in the cage, thought for a moment, and said nothing.

Artisan looked around, seemingly distracted by something interesting.

Bethel, skilled at ignoring Lynn's nonsense, just glanced at the location of Trunsoest Empire's palace and reminded, "Others are arriving soon."
