A Little Fatherly Surprise for Amon

As he spoke, Luo Lin let a trace of the aura from the fragment of Nyarlathotep's power within him leak out, his expression utterly serious.

In truth, Luo Lin was serious. He was not some lunatic who casually wanted to destroy the world, but neither was he kind enough to sacrifice himself for a strange world. Naturally, he did not mind making a threat to perish together.

Luo Lin's threat was no empty bluff. Nyarlathotep's power might be lying quietly within him now, but if it truly left Luo Lin, even Luo Lin himself had no idea what would happen.

As for whether Luo Lin would really do it—he did not believe that if he truly fell into Amon's hands, he could still live well. Since the world was doomed sooner or later anyway, he might as well perish together with him and keep Amon from profiting off the difference.

Luo Lin had never been a good person. A good person would not do something like perishing together with Nyarlathotep.

The Ancient Sun God naturally saw Luo Lin's sincerity and sensed the dangerous aura within him. Though He had yet to figure out what had happened, the Ancient Sun God quickly made a decision. He sighed, then looked at Luo Lin and asked, "How do you want Me to help you?"

"First, give Him a big slap and let Him understand what fatherly love means when the mountain collapses." Luo Lin pointed at Amon and said earnestly.

The Ancient Sun God paused, but was not surprised by that answer. He turned to Amon instead and revealed a slightly apologetic smile.

If Amon's true body had been here, the Ancient Sun God might have hesitated. But if it was only an Avatar, it did not matter.

After all, He had beaten this brat plenty of times before because of Amon's rotten behavior.

If the Ancient Sun God wanted to beat someone up, even the current Seven Gods would probably have no choice but to take it obediently, let alone a mere Amon's Avatar.

Thus, only half a minute later, Amon had already collapsed on the ground, barely clinging to life and visibly miserable. Even the hidden Amon's Avatars throughout this area had been thoroughly eliminated, leaving only this largest Avatar.

Yet He still forced Himself to sit up, raised His head toward Luo Lin, and curled His lips into a smile.

"Is that all?"

Amon naturally knew that this Avatar of His would likely be finished here, but He clearly did not care much.

To Amon, as long as all His Avatars had not been completely wiped out, it was no great problem.

Amon even revealed a false smile and said, "If you merely wish to eliminate this Avatar, then as long as you are willing to let me speak with my... father for a few words, I can give this Avatar to you."

Luo Lin was not surprised in the slightest. He merely continued looking at the Ancient Sun God and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Sun God. As payment, I can share Amon's life over these years with You. You probably want to know what Your son did after Your fall, don't You?"

The smile at the corner of Amon's lips froze for once.

Though He was an utter bastard, He still had some self-awareness. Amon knew that His father was, in a sense, a good person, and what He had done after His father's fall was clearly not good.

Although Amon did not think He had done anything wrong, just like any child whose embarrassing past was displayed before their parents, even Amon felt resistant at this moment.

He resisted letting the other party learn of those things, and also resisted the possible... disappointment.

That resistance even made Amon subconsciously restrain His smile, leaving His face expressionless.

Luo Lin naturally took in every one of those changes. At that moment, he laughed, fully demonstrating the principle that smiles did not disappear, but merely transferred. Looking at Amon, he said, "Is that all?"

A perfect boomerang struck Amon squarely.

"You'd better pray I don't catch you." Amon said expressionlessly, His defenses cracked for once.

"Don't worry. If there is a next time, I'll definitely bring your father out to beat you again. I know you love your father's heavy fatherly affection the most." Luo Lin replied with a cheerful smile, feeling somewhat fortunate inside.

Good thing it had been Amon. He could still pull in the Ancient Sun God to save the situation. This fellow transmigrator, at the very least, was exceptionally broad-minded and of solid character.

If it had been anyone else, his method of perishing together might not have worked at all. He would probably have truly had to perish together with them.

However, Luo Lin also understood that the Ancient Sun God had been "threatened" by him not only because He was a good person, but also because Amon had been in the wrong first, and because he was facing an Amon's Avatar.

If Amon's true body had been here instead, the Ancient Sun God would probably have been willing to help him escape at most.

"This shows that behind every bratty child is a bratty parent..." Luo Lin solemnly concluded, giving the Ancient Sun God a meaningful glance as he spoke.

"Ah..." Though the Ancient Sun God did not know exactly what had happened, how could He, with the traits of the Audience Pathway, fail to see what Amon was avoiding? He immediately understood.

He said, "This..."

"Luo Lin Soroast." Luo Lin promptly gave his name. It was not some secret anyway. Amon already knew that he had devoured the original owner, so how could He not know this? Even if Luo Lin said nothing, Amon would definitely tell Him himself.

"Mr. Luo Lin Soroast, please tell Me what Amon has done over these years." the Ancient Sun God asked seriously.

"No problem..." Luo Lin was just about to speak when Amon before him suddenly closed His eyes and fell to the ground, turning into a mass of Time Worms.

Ah, this?

"Is this running away?" Luo Lin gave the Time Worms on the ground an odd look, but was not too surprised. Amon had always been a brat who excelled at dodging responsibility; under these circumstances, running away was perfectly normal.

But with Amon's Avatar gone... Luo Lin looked at the Ancient Sun God before him. Due to the lack of a summoning medium, the latter's figure had already begun to grow unstable.

Still, Luo Lin did not find it too regrettable. Even if Amon had not left, his spirituality had begun to fail him—summoning the Shadow of Time was not without cost; it also required spirituality to sustain.

And for an existence at the Ancient Sun God's level, he could only summon Him for less than a minute.

Thus, Luo Lin merely spoke at breakneck speed. "Mr. Ancient Sun God, time is limited, so I'll keep it brief. After Your fall, Amon devoured nearly all the Beyonders of the Theft pathway, constantly toyed with others, wanted to become the Lord of Mysteries while refusing to bear the responsibility of saving the world. He is a brat among brats. I suggest You beat him a few more times when You go back and educate him properly."

The moment Luo Lin finished speaking, the Ancient Sun God's projection completely vanished.
