Chapter 319: Madam, Please Renew the SubscriptionLynn pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the Flesh and Blood Cult?"
The Bound Angel looked him up and down and said, "Extreme flesh supremacy, extreme chaos, obsessed with flesh enhancement and modification. Moreover, they worship many evil gods, the largest of which is the one you mentioned, the Flesh and Blood Dominator."
In contrast to the Mechanical Cult's hive mind and extreme orderliness, the Flesh and Blood Cult is rife with numerous factions. Basically, every root-level entity in the flesh domain has a large group of its own fanatical followers.
They also view the Mechanical Cult as a mortal enemy. The kind that fights to the death.
And a scene of their confrontations immediately popped into Lynn's mind.
Mechanical Cult: "What are you staring at?"
Flesh and Blood Cult: "So what if I'm staring at you!"
Mechanical Cult: "You wanna try staring again?"
Flesh and Blood Cult: "Try? Try it is, then!"
Then both sides would start a chaotic, life-or-death firefight.Lynn shook his head, quickly dismissing those messy associations from his mind, and widened his eyes, saying, "So it's the kind where they disregard life and death, fighting on sight?"
The Bound Angel swallowed and said, "You could say that."
"So I know what you're thinking. You want to find out the location of the Flesh and Blood Dominator from me, then have that bastard Titan wipe them all out in one go, right?"
She glanced at Lynn.
Lynn chuckled, putting his hands together in a prayer-like gesture, and said, "How could that be?! Matriarch, you're so good at joking. How could I, Lynn, be that evil? Of course, it's about having Big Brother persuade him to be kind. There's no talk of extermination."
The Bound Angel rolled her eyes slightly and said, "If you really have such thoughts, I advise you to give up. First, no one knows the true location of the Flesh and Blood Dominator. Second, root-level entities cannot be killed in the Dark World. It's not just about the level of strength;
more importantly, they are constrained by the Dark World itself."
"Third, and most importantly."
"The Flesh and Blood Dominator is the largest force within the Flesh and Blood Cult. If it were eradicated, the Mechanical Cult would have no opponent left. Once they slaughter their way through the Flesh and Blood Cult, they would inevitably turn their attention to all flesh-and-blood beings in the Dark World."
She gazed deeply at Lynn.
"It is precisely because of the delicate balance maintained between those two factions that the Dark World hasn't descended into utter chaos."
Lynn: "..."
Hearing the Matriarch say this, it's clear the Mechanical Cult must also have a root-level entity overseeing it.
Moreover, being able to fight the multi-deity factions of the Flesh and Blood Cult to a stalemate is enough to prove the power of the Mechanical Cult's ruler.
As for getting Big Brother's help to wipe out both organizations, that's probably unrealistic.
Not to mention.
Given the Matriarch's philosophy of healing.
If I really tempted Big Brother into destroying those two organizations, the Matriarch would probably fall out with me too.
"You don't need to consider all that," the Bound Angel said slowly.
"The Flesh and Blood Dominator wanting to invade that world isn't something that will happen overnight. For entities at our level, not to mention descending in our true forms, even projecting an avatar is subject to severe restrictions."
"But if you're truly worried, I happen to have some news that might allow you to come into contact with those two factions."
Lynn immediately looked up, puzzled. "What news?"
The Bound Angel glanced at him and said, "In the coming months, the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult are likely to erupt into another war. When that happens, we will also dispatch a large number of Night Doctors for support. Their conflict is irreconcilable, so we can only do our best to heal as many wounded as possible during the war."
"So, you can go along then. As for what you want to do, I can turn a blind eye."
Lynn's breathing immediately became rapid.
Seeing his expression, a slight smile appeared on the Bound Angel's face.
"But the condition is, during this period, you must diligently follow me and learn professional medical knowledge, and you cannot slack off. Can you do that?"
Lynn immediately gave the Bound Angel a thumbs-up and said seriously, "Of course! Matriarch, rest assured, I will definitely study hard."
The Bound Angel's lips curved up. "Good. You go back and rest properly now. This afternoon, we'll start our first lesson."
Lynn nodded.
"..."
The surroundings fell into silence.
The Bound Angel glanced at Lynn, who was still sitting there with no sign of wanting to leave, and said, "You don't have something else, do you?"
Lynn coughed and said seriously, "Actually, I do. Matriarch, um... the blessing's duration is almost up. Do you think you could... top it up for me?"
"..."
The surroundings fell into silence once more.
Only the faint light emanating from the Bound Angel remained.
The Bound Angel closed her eyes, a vein throbbing fiercely at her temple. She knew it. This kid coming to see her definitely wasn't just to simply report the situation.
And she *had* indeed said she could help him max out the blessing.
The Bound Angel slowly opened her eyes, looking very reluctant. "Alright... come over here then."
Lynn immediately walked over and sat down in front of the Bound Angel, his expression calm, clearly looking very proper.
The Bound Angel exhaled, closing her eyes. "A little closer..."
Lynn immediately scooted forward a large step.
This time, he was so close he could even smell the faint, natural fragrance emanating from the Matriarch and feel her gentle breath.
The Bound Angel: "..."
Too! Damn! Close!
The Bound Angel was truly about to be amused into anger by him, yet she also felt helpless deep down. Because as her hope, she simply couldn't bring herself to dislike this little fellow.
Forget it, let it be.
The Bound Angel helplessly raised her head, gently parted her lips, and then softly left a kiss on his forehead.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light once again enveloped Lynn's body, and waves of warmth wrapped around his entire being.
A System prompt immediately echoed in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! Your blessing effect "Angel's Kiss" duration has been refreshed. Current remaining time: 24 hours.]
Within that warm, healing, sacred light, it felt as if his very soul was being purified.
And this suddenly made Lynn think of his mother.
"Is that good enough now?"
The Bound Angel's lips slowly left his forehead.
Her golden gaze instantly fell upon the face of the young man before her.
She immediately sensed the unusual emotion emanating from Lynn.
"You're feeling sad?" she asked, puzzled.
Hearing the Bound Angel's gentle voice, Lynn snapped back to reality and immediately saw those golden eyes, now so close.
Lynn didn't hide it either, smiling bitterly. "Sorry, Matriarch. I just returned home for a visit, so I couldn't help feeling a bit emotional."
