So he is Lynn's twin brother?
Hearing Lynn's words, Klein was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Lynn covering his head with his hand, his expression pained. One eye was closed while the other looked at the angel, filled with confusion and puzzlement. "No, you're not... my brother, it seems like it's red..."
"I am indeed not your brother." The divine avatar shook its head. It then gently pressed a hand on Lynn's head. Accompanied by a soft white light, Lynn's pained expression eased considerably.
"Don't think about it. It's not yet time for you to remember these things," the divine avatar said gently. It then looked at the puzzled and worried Klein and slowly said, "You got one thing wrong. I am indeed Lynn Sotos."
"You..." Klein was clearly taken aback. For a moment, he wondered if he had heard wrong. He couldn't help but look at the two identical people in front of him, feeling confused.
"What? You say you are Lynn Sotos? Then who am I?" Lynn, who was equally confused, frowned deeply, his expression full of disbelief at what he had just heard.
If Klein's mind had fleetingly thought, "Could I have been wrong all along? Is Lynn still fooling me?" upon hearing this, seeing Lynn's reaction made him quickly process the situation.
Klein didn't think there was any need for the other party to continue deceiving him under the current circumstances, but the situation was indeed puzzling.
However, Klein was still Klein. After a series of thoughts, he suddenly considered a possibility and hesitantly said to the divine avatar, "Could it be that you, like Mr. Azik, had your soul split in half?"
Yes, this was the possibility Klein thought of. It was the explanation that best fit the current situation.
Hearing this, Lynn, who had initially been considering how to further guide the conversation, felt a sense of gratification. Controlling the divine avatar, he looked at Klein, smiled, and said, "Not too dull."
"Wait, what do you mean my soul was split in half?" Lynn's main body seemed to have realized something. He looked at the divine avatar and then at himself, "So you are me? This... this is impossible!"
So it really is like that... Having received confirmation, Klein felt a great weight lift from his mind. He then considered something and asked, "So Lynn is also... a fellow transmigrator?"
If the divine avatar and Lynn were related as split halves of the same soul, didn't that mean Lynn was also a transmigrator?
Thinking about this, Klein felt another headache coming. While some of his doubts had been resolved, many more questions arose.
Klein couldn't help but ask, "If you and Lynn are split halves of the same soul, why did Lynn not only lose his memory but also need to retrace the path to divinity, while you retain your power and memories?"
"And what about the prophecy from a thousand years ago? Why did Lynn's soul split?"
"Shh!" The divine avatar made a quiet gesture, placing its finger to its lips. It then leisurely said, "Too many questions, little seer."
"But as a gift, I can answer one of your questions. So think carefully about which one you want to ask."
Klein's brow furrowed instinctively. He looked at the divine avatar, then at the obviously still shocked Lynn, and said, "Since you're no longer hiding your identity, isn't it time to answer these questions for Lynn?"
"Why would you think that?" The divine avatar glanced at him and smiled. "I just think it's time for a certain fool to know part of the truth. After all, being constantly treated as a conspirator by another version of oneself isn't a pleasant experience."
"As for the full truth, now isn't the time for him to know."
"Isn't that your fault? Being so mysterious all the time!" Lynn, seeming to have recovered, snapped back immediately.
"See, it's like this. Even I would feel sad being treated this way by another version of myself," the divine avatar said, its tone softening at a certain point, clearly hiding something.
As what?
Klein's intuition made him catch onto a crucial point, but before he could think further, he heard the divine avatar speak again,
"So have you decided what to ask, little seer?"
"As a friendly reminder, you could also ask something unrelated to Lynn, something about yourself." The divine avatar smiled, its tone carrying a certain mischievousness.
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? It won't be so easy to meet me again."
"What are you talking about? Sherlock, do you have questions you want this guy to answer?" Lynn looked around, completely lost and a bit displeased.
Klein paused for a moment, clearly caught in a dilemma. After a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at the divine avatar and asked, "Is everything you arranged for Lynn harmful to him? Will you devour his personality?"
Klein had indeed struggled over whether to ask about transmigration, but ultimately decided to ask this.
Because he suddenly realized something: Even if they shared the same soul, were Lynn and the divine avatar truly the same person?
If their souls were to merge again in the future, who would be in control? Would Lynn's personality be completely devoured by the divine avatar?
Frankly, if the souls were to merge, Klein couldn't imagine his two-faced companion being the one in control.
"Those are two questions," the divine avatar said, then looked at Lynn. It seemed to have realized something, sighed lightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will never harm him."
"When our souls merge one day, he will be the one in control."
Hearing this answer, Klein felt a sense of relief, but another doubt arose.
Why?
Not harming could be understood as them being the same person, but why was the divine avatar so certain that Lynn would be in control when their souls merged?
Moreover, it didn't seem to show any signs of resentment... Klein pondered, only to hear Lynn's dissatisfied voice,
"Although I am touched, have you two finished talking? Can someone explain to me what's going on here? After all, I'm involved, right?"
"You know I'm not very smart, could you at least give me more information?"
