As he spoke, Evah leaked a hint of the aura from the Nyarlathotep power fragments within his body, his expression quite serious.
In truth, Lou Lin was indeed serious. Although he wasn't a madman who would casually want to destroy the world, he wasn't so benevolent as to sacrifice himself for a strange world.
Naturally, he didn't mind making such a threat of mutual destruction.
Lou Lin's threat was no empty boast. Though Nyarlathotep's power currently lay quiet within Lou Lin, if it truly broke free from him, even Lou Lin himself didn't know what would happen.
As for whether Lou Lin would actually do it—Lou Lin didn't think he could survive if he truly fell into Amon's hands.
Since the world was doomed sooner or later, it was better to opt for mutual destruction directly, to prevent Amon from profiting from the difference.
Lou Lin had never been a good person; a good person wouldn't resort to something like mutual destruction with Nyarlathotep.
The Ancient Sun God naturally saw Lou Lin's seriousness and sensed the dangerous aura within him.
Although He hadn't yet figured out what was happening, the Ancient Sun God quickly made a decision. He sighed, then looked at Evah and asked, "How do you wish for me to help you?"
"First, give Him a hefty slap across the face, let Him understand what 'fatherly love that hits like a landslide' means." Lou Lin said earnestly, pointing at Amon.
The Ancient Sun God paused for a moment but wasn't surprised by this answer. He turned to Amon, revealing a slightly apologetic smile.
If Amon's true body were here, the Ancient Sun God might have hesitated, but a mere avatar was a different matter.
Besides, He had disciplined this little rascal plenty of times before due to Amon's despicable behavior.
...
If the Ancient Sun God wanted to thrash someone, even the current Seven Deities would probably have to take it obediently, let alone a mere Amon avatar.
So, merely half a minute later, Amon was already sprawled on the ground, barely breathing, visibly wretched. Even the hidden Amon avatars in this area had been completely wiped out, leaving only this largest avatar of His.
But He still forced Himself to sit up, looked up at Evah, and a smile tugged at His lips as He said:
"Is that all?"
Amon naturally knew this avatar of His would likely be done for here, but He clearly wasn't particularly concerned about it.
For Amon, as long as not all His avatars were completely eliminated, it wasn't a big deal.
Amon even put on a fake smile, saying, "If you just want to eliminate this avatar, actually, if you're willing to let me have a few words with my... father, I can give you this avatar of mine."
Lou Lin wasn't surprised at all by this. He just continued to look at the Ancient Sun God and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Sun God. As a reward, I can share with you what Amon has been up to all these years. You probably want to know what your son has been doing since your fall!"
For once, the smile on Amon's lips stiffened.
Although He was an out-and-out scoundrel, He still had some self-awareness. Amon knew very well that this father of His was, in a sense, a good person, and the things He had done after His father's fall were clearly not good deeds.
Although Amon didn't think He had done anything wrong, just like any child whose dark history is exposed before their parents, even Amon felt a sense of resistance at this moment.
Resisting the other knowing these things, and also resisting the possible... disappointment.
This resistance even made Amon subconsciously retract His smile, His face becoming expressionless.
All these changes were naturally witnessed by Lou Lin. The latter laughed out at this moment, perfectly illustrating the principle that smiles don't disappear, they merely transfer. Looking at Amon, he taunted, "Is that all you've got?"
A perfect boomerang, striking Amon squarely.
"You better not let me catch you," Amon said expressionlessly, rarely showing signs of his composure breaking.
"Don't worry, if there's a next time, I'll definitely have your dad come out and beat you again. I know you love that heavy fatherly love of his the most," Lou Lin replied with a grin, feeling somewhat fortunate in his heart.
Luckily, it was Amon he encountered; he could still pull the Ancient Sun God in to save the day. This 'fellow transmigrator,' if nothing else, at least had exceptional insight and solid character.
If it had been anyone else, his mutual destruction tactic might not have worked so well, and he probably would have truly perished along with them.
However, Lou Lin also knew in his heart that the reason the Ancient Sun God could be 'threatened' by him was not only because the other was a good person but also because Amon was in the wrong first, and he was facing an Amon avatar.
If Amon's true body had been here, he reckoned the Ancient Sun God would at most be willing to help him escape.
"This just goes to show, behind every problem child, there's an enabling parent..."
Lou Lin concluded solemnly, glancing meaningfully at the Ancient Sun God as he spoke.
"Alas..." Although the Ancient Sun God didn't know exactly what had happened, with His Spectator Pathway characteristics, how could He not see what Amon was trying to evade? He instantly understood.
He said, "This esteemed..."
"Evah Zoroast," Lou Lin stated his name crisply. It wasn't a secret anyway. Amon already knew he had 'consumed' the original owner; how could He not know this? Even if Evah didn't speak, Amon would definitely take the initiative to inform Him.
"Mr. Evah Zoroast, please tell me what Amon has truly been doing all these years," the Ancient Sun God asked seriously.
"No problem..." Lou Lin was about to speak when the Amon before him suddenly closed His eyes, fell to the ground, and turned into a cluster of Worms of Time.
Huh?
"Is He evading?" Lou Lin looked at the Worms of Time on the ground with a strange expression, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, Amon was inherently a brat accustomed to evading responsibility; fleeing in this situation was perfectly normal for Him.
But Amon's avatar was gone... Rolyn looked at the Ancient Sun God before him, whose form was already beginning to destabilize due to the lack of a summoning medium.
However, Rolyn didn't feel too regretful about this. After all, even if Amon hadn't left, his spirituality was actually starting to give out—Lou Lin's summoning of the Shadow of Time was not without cost; it also required spirituality to sustain.
And an existence of the Ancient Sun God's level, he could only summon for less than a minute.
So Lou Lin just spoke very quickly: "Mr. Ancient Sun God, time is limited, so I'll keep it brief. After your fall, Amon devoured almost all the Beyonders of the Marauder Pathway, toys with others at every turn, wants to become the Lord of Mysteries, yet is unwilling to bear the responsibility of saving the world. He's the brat of all brats. I suggest you give him a couple more beatings later and educate him properly."
As soon as Lou Lin's voice fell, the Ancient Sun God's projection completely disappeared.
