Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 144 Ron: You're actually a pretty good person.

Palez Zoroaster decided to ask his "good brother" Amon for help.

He seized the opportunity to make a sound and, using the trickster's abilities, uttered the name of Ammon at an extremely fast speed.

As for whether there will be any consequences, that's no longer important. Only by overcoming the current difficulties can we consider the future.

"Hmph, ╯^╰."

"Don't waste your energy. I've sealed off the surrounding spirit realm. Even if you chant the names of the seven gods, they won't hear you!"

"Furthermore, you are a Sequence One Time Worm, the final obstacle to Amon's ascension to godhood. It seems you two are enemies!"

Ron gave a haughty hum, seeing through Pales's little scheme, and the information he obtained from the Twilight Hermits' Meeting allowed him to instantly expose the Time Worm's lie.

These mundane words struck Pales Zoroaster's heart like a hammer blow, making his heart sink again, and he felt that he was truly the unluckiest man ever.

I just wanted to recover from my injuries, but this happened instead.

At this moment, He would rather have encountered Amon than this strange and terrifying fellow.

"By the way, I'm curious, why didn't you completely parasitize Leonard, but instead only parasitized him at a superficial level?"

"For despicable extraordinary beings like you, the former seems to maximize your benefits."

"If you really parasitize him deeply, then with your abilities, you certainly won't give yourself away."

Ron scratched his right cheek and asked the question he had always wanted to ask in a calm and indifferent tone.

The frozen space fell silent instantly, plunging into a deathly stillness.

"This is just my personal habit. Isn't it normal for everyone to have a few hobbies?"

After a while, Palez Zoroaster's aged voice came, his tone filled with emotion, as if there was a hidden meaning in his words, which made the blond boy push up his monocle.

"Heh, you're not going to say that you didn't mean any harm at all, and that you only had to parasitize Leonard's body to avoid Amon, and that you're actually a good person with principles and a strong moral compass, are you?"

"..."

Ron's answer left Palez Zoroaster speechless, causing him to swallow his sob story and abandon his plan to play the emotional card.

Although the little brat looked human, emotions didn't seem to be a necessity for mythical beings. Compared to such things, He felt that benefits were more likely to move people's hearts.

"I don't know you at all, and we don't seem to have any grudges between us. You can just say what you want; there's no need to use this method!"

The archangel of sequence one immediately spoke in a deep voice. Ron's dawdling manner and his attitude of wasting time talking to him made Him realize that things were not as bad as He thought, and there might be a turning point.

"We don't know each other, and we have no grudge against each other, but don't you find it interesting that we've caught you?"

The blond boy uttered a vague and ambiguous remark, which gave Palez Zoroaster another headache.

As a source of amusement, this isn't something to laugh about.

"Alright, let's get back to the main point. Old man, you just said Amon is your good friend?"

Pushing up his monocle, which was carved from crystal, Ron stared intently at the Time Worm before him, constantly probing its condition.

"No, that's not it. You already said it yourself, He is my enemy!"

"His character is wicked and despicable, and he is incredibly powerful. He has no moral compass whatsoever, and he always takes pleasure in deception, turning any human he finds interesting into himself."

Seeing an opportunity to belittle Amon, Palez Zoroaster immediately spoke up. He spoke quickly, listing Amon's crimes one by one, and intentionally or unintentionally comparing himself to Amon to highlight Amon's extremely wicked character.

"Tsk, it seems you're a pretty good person!"

"Alright, since that's the case, let's make a deal."

With a slight smile, Ron let his initial excitement fade quickly and abandoned his plan to tease the old man, instead steering the conversation toward his pre-prepared plan.

As a great being who controls the realm of time, he explored Pales Zoroaster's past the moment he discovered him. Well, he was a pretty good guy, but he had bad luck and had a miserable life.

He lived a life of secrecy, always having to be wary of Amon, and he had no powerful backing. His life was even worse than that despicable Si'a.

Moreover, Ron can see from Leonard's past that this old man actually has a certain moral standard. Even after taking such a despicable path, he can still maintain a certain conscience and moral bottom line.

This surprised Ron, who mentally mocked the Celestial Venerable's will, which had been firmly suppressed.

However, having a conscience is one thing, but the matter of pressing the coffin lid cannot be abandoned!

"What deal? You don't want me to be used as bait to lure Amon out, do you?"

"Hmph, let me tell you, Amon isn't so easy to deal with. Once He senses something is amiss, He'll definitely be alert and send out clones to probe. Catching Him won't be that easy!"

Palez Zoroaster noticed the kid's intentions and immediately sneered.

Amon isn't some old and crippled Sequence One like Him, who can be captured at will. As an old fellow who has fought against the Angels of Time for many years, His understanding of Amon far surpasses that of anything else.

"Hmph, ╯^╰. This is none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, the blond boy arrogantly raised his head, snorted disdainfully, and then turned his eyes to look at the Sequence One who was not in a very good mental state.

"To be honest, if I wasn't afraid of killing you, and that Amon would discover I was using your extraordinary abilities as bait, I would have killed you long ago!"

"However, my deal doesn't stop there. I not only need you to lure Amon out, but I also want your Sequence One Extraordinary trait."

"But in exchange, I can protect you with my status and authority, allowing you to continue living as a Sequence Two."

"And you, you will no longer need to hide. Under my protection, you can even rebuild your family—something you've always dreamed of!"

"This is good for both of us!"

The blond boy's words were like sweet honey, striking right into Pales Zoroaster's heart. However, this seasoned conman didn't immediately believe this seemingly divine being, and instead asked in an aged voice:

"Your qualifications are quite good, so what makes me believe you?"

"Although you have no choice now, I still want to tell you the truth: all the promises I have made will not change in the slightest, even if the world ends and time runs out. This is the promise I, Ron Sothos, have made to you!"

The authoritative and authoritative words resounded, causing the space to tremble and time to surge in waves.

They seem to be providing corroboration for Ron's words, proving that his words have supreme authority and that whatever he says will be accomplished, not just empty words.

The black and white world fell silent once more. Pales Zoroaster, feeling an unusually complex mix of emotions from what had just happened, took a long while, then took a deep breath and spoke in an analytical tone:

"You are not like the other true gods! Compared to them, you seem more like a god, just like those ordinary people imagine..."

"What I mean is, more like the 'God' described in the scriptures of various churches!"
