The red moon returns

Chapter 564 My Identity
The behavior of these apostles was very subtle. There was no trace of contempt for a mortal who overestimated his own abilities. Instead, their attitude was quite cautious. Although they did not express anything directly, the silence itself was a manifestation: they were interested, and very interested.

Lynch breathed a sigh of relief.

This first illustrates a problem, that the guess about one's own identity should be almost correct.

The only thing that worries Lynch is why these evil gods didn’t realize their problems before?

Not to mention the earlier encounters with evil gods, I had a close encounter with Cthugha an hour ago. She played with me for so long without noticing my problem, but after a short while, almost all the evil gods suddenly discovered my identity.

Something must have happened during this period.

Lynch tried hard to recall, but all he could think of were very ordinary things, nothing more than facing the Supreme and fighting against the evil god. Isn't this something that normal people experience every day? There's nothing special about it... Hiss, that's it.

Lynch suddenly realized that the only special thing was that he was teleported here along the half mark, but as soon as he got here, his identity was discovered by all the evil gods.

That’s right, at that time I seemed to have become a simple concept to get here. It is very likely that the conceptualization made all the disguises added by my neighbors disappear, which made my own concept more obvious. Hey, if I look in the mirror now, can I see my true self?

[Cannot see]

"Tsk, I can guess even if I can't see it. I don't believe that the dark fog in the dream is really just a dream. And you didn't hide it this time."

[It’s not what I said, and I didn’t intervene. Everything is just the natural scenery during the journey]

'Well, I understand, but thank you for that.'

Lynch let out a long sigh. No matter what, he was definitely a big shot in the past, and a big shot that even the two top evil gods, Yog-Sothoth and the Faceless One, feared. Although he didn't know why he had memories of his hometown, he didn't need to think too much about it for the time being. What he had to consider now was how to use his identity to gain a big advantage with a small one, cut off the claw of the Shadow Alliance that reached into the Dreamland, try to pull these people to his side, or at least delay time. As long as he could hold on until the end of the ceremony, everything would be fine.

As for winning these people over...

The amount of information obtained in just a few minutes, plus the previous information fragments, gradually became connected under the high-speed operation of the brain.

Lynch knew that he was gradually seeing the deeper things in this world.

The Dreamland is a collection of all mankind’s fears and nightmares. Whether it is the aliens in the Dreamland or the evil gods born in the depths of the Dreamland, they are actually born out of mankind’s fears and nightmares and depend on the Dreamland to exist.

But more than that, Lynch got some inspiration from some anime games in his hometown.

Could it be that humanity’s fears and nightmares are the result of these evil gods and aliens becoming even more powerful circles?
Just like the monsters in the legends of my hometown, the more feared they are, the stronger they become, those monsters that feed on human fear.

People's fear and despair will make the power of the dreamland stronger and stronger. This is a fact that has been implicitly verified by the neighbors, and people's worship and admiration will make the gods more powerful. Then, are the evil gods in the dreamland just the opposite of the gods, and will they also become more powerful because of people's nightmares and fears?

Lynch was not sure at first, but from the reactions of these apostles, he could get a glimpse of it.

The possibility is great.

For the evil gods, their goal is to ensure their existence in the world while putting pressure on humans to the limit and trying their best to squeeze out people's fear. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a matter of interests.

Then as long as we can offer greater benefits, we will be able to win over this group of evil gods.

Based on Lynch's current understanding of the evil gods, they have no ethical and moral concepts of right and wrong, good and evil that humans can understand. The only thing that can influence their behavior is the element of "I".

Everything starts from "I", and everything is only me.

Whether it's the Daughter of the Swollen who follows her own preferences and regards watching fun as her eternal pursuit, or Tsathoggua who stays in an ancient city called Enkai and only knows how to eat, drink and sleep, or Cthugha who chases the Daughter of the Swollen and Mordiggian to make trouble, they are actually not bound by any rules that mortals can understand. The only reason is "me".

This is actually good news. There is no need to consider factors such as honesty and trustworthiness like with humans. They don't understand that as long as you attract their interest and offer more tempting and convincing conditions, these most powerful helpers of the Shadow Alliance will be transformed into your own strength. At least you can keep them neutral and return the battlefield to Lynch and the Shadow Alliance.

Then start.

Lynch took a deep breath, straightened his chest and entered his own battlefield.

Faced with many evil gods, some friendly, some hostile, and some strangers, Lynch put aside all his psychological burdens, calmly took off his hat and bowed gracefully to the apostles.

"Let me introduce myself first. It's not about myself. It doesn't matter who I am, and you don't need to care." Lynch's words made the corners of the humanoid apostles' mouths twitch, but Lynch didn't notice and continued, "Of course, I want to introduce the scarlet lady behind me."

As he spoke, Lin Qi extended his hand to the red moon phantom behind him and said with a smile: "In the past tens of thousands of years, Madam Scarlet and I have lived side by side. During the long years, we have reached some consensus, and for this reason, we have established a relationship closer than that of allies. It can be said that we are now one. In addition, what does the identity of Madam Scarlet mean? I think I don’t need to explain too much, right?"

There is no way that a Fortune 500 company can compete with a vegetable stall at home. There are gods behind the Shadow Alliance, this is an irrefutable fact, so first of all, we must raise ourselves to the same level. Although the neighbor is a fallen god, it is no secret that he is on the road to resurrection. Even if he has not been resurrected yet, it is not enough. Adding the goddess of the night, Nix, is definitely enough. As for the old aunt's attitude, well...

“What is the closer relationship?”

Are you really not gossiping, Countess Hathaway?

Although he was madly complaining in his heart, Lin Qi still turned around and bowed gracefully, pointing to the sky and then behind himself:
"The Red Moon is me, and I am the Red Moon. We are one, inseparable. We live and die together. Is there a closer relationship than this?"

【…】

Ignoring the discordant attitude coming from his soul, Lin Qi continued, "I know that you all have reservations about the gods. To be more precise, you don't trust them. We can each reserve our own opinions on whether the gods are reliable or not. I just want to say that with me as a bridge in the middle, you should be able to dispel your doubts. The fear and awe we can give you is more than you expect and more than they promised you."

"Let's not discuss whether this is true or not." Kelvin, the apostle of the old rival Toad God, also looked like a gentleman and said indifferently, "What the master wants to know most is how is it possible for you to have a will?"

Hmm? Wait, shouldn't I have a will? I can't be a chaotic egg like some god in some myth.

How to answer this?

Lynch's breathing even quickened.
