Pallez Startled Again

"Who are you?" As the King of Angels at the apex of the Door pathway, Bethel Abraham could immediately sense that the surrounding space felt slightly off. He also sensed the connection between himself and Luo Lin, causing him to look at Luo Lin and ask, "You say this is the future?"

"I am Lucifer, at least for now!" Luo Lin skillfully put on a disguise and introduced himself with a smile to Bethel, "As you can see, this is the future world, and you come from over a thousand years ago."

"If you don't believe me, you can also take a stroll outside. Of course, you only have one minute. Perhaps meeting an old friend would be a good decision?" Luo Lin paused here, revealing a playful smile.

Bethel gave Luo Lin a deep look. As the summoned Shadow of Time, he could feel the restraints placed upon him, preventing him from doing anything to harm the person in front of him. However, it did not prevent him from leaving.

After some thought, Bethel's figure then disappeared. As the King of Angels of the Door pathway, he could appear anywhere in this world whenever he wished.

But Bethel did not go too far, because he could sense an old friend nearby.

The other party was actually hiding quite well, but in Bethel's eyes, it wasn't good enough.

After all, Mr. Door was the strongest King of Angels among the 'Gou San Jia' (Three Families of Stealth), and someone else was not only in a weakened state but also too close to Bethel at this moment.

Thus, old man Pallez, who had only recently been startled by Luo Lin, was greeted with his second scare.

"Long time no see, Pallez. I didn't expect to see you in such a sorry state. Has Solomon stopped protecting you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, which he hadn't heard in years, Pallez, who was looking at the newspaper through Leonard's eyes, almost jumped out of Leonard. He looked at Bethel, who was standing by the window, in disbelief, scrutinizing him from head to toe before conjuring a shadow, just as he had done when he met Luo Lin.

Shadow Pallez looked at Mr. Door and said, "Are you mocking me, Bethel? You and I both know that the era of the Four Emperors has long passed, and the Black Emperor is also a thing of the past. I am now nothing more than a stray dog without the protection of a True God, chased by Amon and only able to survive by hiding."

Hearing this, Bethel lowered his eyes, clearly deep in thought. After a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Pallez and said, "You seem very surprised to see me."

"My old friend, anyone who knows your situation would be surprised to see you like this. Have you finally escaped the corruption of the Fallen Mother God?" Pallez said with a sigh, his words laced with a hint of probing.

As an old fox, after a brief moment of surprise, Pallez naturally sensed something slightly off about the person in front of him. This wasn't to say he had discovered Mr. Door was the Shadow of Time, or that he suspected the other's identity, but rather he sensed a subtle incongruity.

"Corruption..." Bethel savored the word but didn't show much surprise. He simply looked in a certain direction, towards a spatial anomaly on Earth.

As the King of Angels of the Door pathway, perhaps the person most proficient in the way of space in this world, how could Bethel not sense that there was another him in this world? How could he not sense that the other seemed to be sealed within some space, and that his condition was extremely dire?

And now, everything seemed to have an explanation.

"Do you know Lucifer?" But Bethel clearly had no intention of explaining anything to Pallez. He simply looked at the other and asked again.

Hearing this name, Pallez suddenly recalled the scene from a few days ago when Luo Lin had visited.

At that time, although Pallez had gained some trust in this junior, he was still very suspicious of the Chief Sovereign of Chaos behind him. Curious about the condition of this "god," he couldn't help but probe, "Since you have faith in your Lord, have you met any other followers of the Chief Sovereign of Chaos?"

Hearing his words, Luo Lin glanced at him and then smiled, "Old man, are you trying to inquire about your Lord's influence in the real world?"

Pallez probably didn't expect Luo Lin to be so direct, but having been around for many years, the "old angel" had developed a thick skin. He simply chuckled and said, "Can't I? We've reached a cooperation, so I need to understand the influence of the entity I'm cooperating with."

"Of course, you can. However, I don't know that much either, as I'm just a newcomer!" Luo Lin also smiled then, showing a reminiscent expression, and continued:

"There are many organizations that follow the Lord, but the most important one, as far as I know, is called the 'Troublemaker's Club.' This is also the organization I joined. I don't know how many members the Troublemaker's Club has, but as far as I know, many organization members are also members of the Troublemaker's Club. For example, Mr. A of the Aurora Order is one of them."

"Mr. A? You mean the divine envoy of the Aurora Order?" Leonard, who was beside him, couldn't help but interject at this moment, "Aren't they just a bunch of lunatics who only believe in the True Creator?"

"Mr. A is indeed a devout follower of the True Creator." Luo Lin did not deny Leonard's words. Instead, he nodded and affirmed, then smiled, "In fact, it was at the True Creator's behest that Mr. A joined the Troublemaker's Club."

He didn't directly say that the Chief Sovereign of Chaos and the True Creator were allies, as everything was implied.

Leonard couldn't help but frown. "But that's an evil god..." His eyes flickered, clearly filled with the urge to risk his life to report the guy colluding with this evil god and the existence behind him.

"Then do you know that during the Third Epoch, the Goddess of the Night was also just an evil god?" Luo Lin looked at Leonard and said with a smile.

"What?" Leonard was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed. "You scoundrel! I won't allow you to slander the Goddess!"

Luo Lin chuckled. He then patted Leonard's shoulder, and all of Leonard's anger was instantly and forcibly quelled.

"I have no reason to lie about this, and you don't need to get so agitated. In fact, I don't mind if you report these matters to the Church of Evernight." Luo Lin gave Leonard a meaningful look at this point before saying, "And how do you know that the Goddess of the Night and my Lord don't have a cooperative relationship? Perhaps, the Goddess of the Night is watching us!"

Leonard, who had been wondering why his anger had suddenly disappeared, widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing Luo Lin's words.

"Think about it carefully, Leonard. The relationships between True Gods are not as simple as they appear on the surface. In the Fourth Epoch, the True Creator, whom you call an evil god, was also one of the True Gods." Luo Lin patted Leonard's shoulder again and smiled.
