Chapter 163 Why is Amon Fearful?

Amon was speechless again. After staring at Rosen for a while, he whispered, "Just because of this?"

"Yes, that's why." Rosen nodded frankly, saying, "After all, I'm a pitiful little thing who would die if no one loved me!"

These words made Amon feel that Rosen was lying again, but Amon's intuition told him that Rosen seemed to be a little angry and—sad.

Why? Just because of His previous trickery?

But you've clearly played pranks on them many times before, haven't you?

Amon looked confused. He stared at Rosen for a moment before finally speaking, "Rosen, I don't understand. It was just a simple prank, why—why are you so bothered by it?"

"Perhaps it's because, in my opinion, matters of the heart are not suitable for pranks?" Rosen rested his chin on his hand and actually gave Amon an answer.

He gazed at the bewildered divine child before him, and finally sighed, saying, "Amon, do not use emotions to deceive people, whether it is kinship, friendship, or anything else. If emotions are tainted with lies, then all you will get is another lie."

Amon seemed to understand but not quite, but he roughly grasped what Rosen was angry about, and slowly said "Oh".

"But—" Amon then seemed to remember something, looking at Rosen with confusion, and said, "Wasn't your relationship with us also a lie from the beginning?"

Amon wasn't unaware that Rosen's origins were problematic. He knew that Rosen shouldn't have been his brother, and he also knew that his instinctive closeness to Rosen was somewhat questionable.

How can this not be considered a lie?

Rosen paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded frankly and said, "Yes, I don't deny that."

Amon immediately looked at Rosen with an expression that said, "You really are applying double standards."

Rosen chuckled and said, "But we're different, Amon. I can accept feelings born from lies, I can accept that someone isn't 100% related to their father. Can you?"

Amon froze for a moment, stammering for a long time before finally saying in confusion, "I don't know."

Rosen continued, "Amon, I hope you can have emotions like a normal person, so I don't want you to bring lies into it. It would be too tragic to be alone because of deception."

Amon listened quietly, and after a long while, he said, "I understand."

After a pause, He whispered, "What I just said was a lie."

"Which sentence?" Rosen looked at Amon with some confusion.

Amon snorted coldly and said no more.

Rosen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "You don't know that sentence?"

"Go to hell!" Amon said irritably.

"Hahaha!" Rosen laughed, then said, "Just kidding, I know which sentence you were referring to."

Rosen certainly knew; he knew Amon was referring to the line—"Your relationship with us, didn't it all start with a lie?"

.

Amon immediately fell silent.

He didn't believe that the fact that Rosen was his brother was a lie. The other party's background might indeed be questionable, but so what?

Is He, Ammon, truly the biological son of the sun god?

No one had ever told Amon about his origins, but he wasn't stupid. If it weren't for Rosen and a series of other events, Amon might not have thought about this matter so deeply. But the existence of Rosen, such an anomaly, made Amon instinctively explore his own origins while investigating the other's.

So Amon learned that Rosen was an unidentified being of mysterious origin, and that He was a unique being endowed with a personality.

Since they are not biological children in the true sense, and since they are recognized by the sun god, then what is the difference between them and real brothers?

At least Amon didn't see any difference, just as he also acknowledged that the current Adam was His elder brother—so what if he was the incarnation of His father? As long as he had an independent personality, he was another person.

As for those intimacy stemming from extraordinary abilities—does His intimacy with the sun god have nothing to do with extraordinary abilities?

In Amon's view, there was no difference between the two, and Rosen's influence on Him was even less than that of the Sun God. The closeness did not affect His personality. Amon was well aware of this, so He would still hate Rosen and would target him because of the uniqueness that Rosen had taken away.

On the contrary, it was the sun god—He gave Him personality and this emotion.

Amon sometimes gets confused about this. His self comes from the fabrication of others. Can such a self still be considered a self?

Amon didn't know.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this confusion that Amon is particularly sensitive about his personality. Deep down, he is actually afraid of having his current personality altered by others. His self is the only thing he has, and the only thing he does not have.

If the sun god could weave Him into His current form for some purpose, would His future father modify Him into something else?

Amon didn't know, but he at least knew that in the future that Rosen and the others traveled to, Adam was no longer Adam.

This is also why He worships the sun god, but never takes the initiative to get close to the sun god.

Deep down, Amon harbored a fear of the sun god. After all, he was not yet the battle-hardened angel of time who would become in the future; he was merely a newborn infant.

This is also why Amon prefers to hang out with Rosen—they are both different kinds of people who share the same plight.

Although----

"Ha!" Amon suddenly raised his hand, pushed up his monocle, sneered, grabbed the cage bars, and shouted, "Let me out!"

"Just wait, I'll let you out at dinner time." Rosen said, taking out his pocket watch, glancing at it, and nodding slowly. "Hmm, three and a half hours."

Amon gritted his teeth, sat back down, and said irritably, "At least give me a book."

"Clatter—"

'

A book fell at Amon's feet.

Amon picked it up and looked at it, a question mark immediately appearing above his head: "What is this thing?"

"A collection of fairy tales," Rosen said with a smile. "After all, you're still young! It's more suitable for children to read fairy tales that tell stories of truth, goodness, and beauty."

Amon: ————

Today is another day I want to beat Rosen to death.

Amon gritted his teeth, then opened the collection of fairy tales and began to read.

Rosen then took out a few sheets of paper and began to read.

Medici, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, caught a glimpse of the handwriting on the paper in Rosen's hand and asked with some confusion, "Osekus wrote you a letter?"

"Well—" Rosen blinked and said slowly, "Actually, it's like this: Osekus has recently had a surge in creative inspiration and has written some short stories. I was curious, so I decided to borrow them."
