"Alright, I'll let you pass!"
Hearing this, although he hadn't felt much fear and had expected this outcome, Lin Ruo still breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he didn't want to fall out with Medici. Whether it was out of consideration for their past friendship or Medici's own strength, Lin Ruo preferred to maintain a good relationship with Medici.
However… it seems Medici and he really have a good relationship!
Thinking this, Lin Ruo remembered something else, sighed, and shook his head, saying, "Medici, I even severely injured the Blood Emperor for you, yet you actually doubted me. Tsk, tsk! How sad!"
His pretentious appearance and sarcastic tone made it obvious that he was deliberately trying to disgust people.
Medici was stunned for a moment, seeming surprised, then enlightened. Immediately after, his brow furrowed, and he said in a rather unfriendly tone, "I knew you little Lunatic would run wild if no one was watching you. Taking on a True God head-on, you really have the guts!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruo almost instinctively felt guilty for a second, then realized that Medici's words seemed to carry a lot of information.
He thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Although I don't have memories of it, according to reliable intelligence, I shouldn't have lost that battle. At most, it was a mutual defeat. It can't be said that I was running wild, right?"
"Tch!" Medici seemed to have heard something funny and chuckled, saying, "Trying to get information out of me?"
Lin Ruo, not surprised that his intention had been seen through, directly and openly asked, "I am indeed very curious about what state I was in at that time… Although I haven't recovered many memories, I can still roughly guess that, purely in terms of combat power, I should have been able to rival a True God for a short period of time, but now it seems that I guessed wrong?"
Medici didn't answer his question immediately. He stared at the slightly swaying liquor in the bottle in his hand, seemingly thinking. After a few seconds, he said, "You didn't guess wrong. At that time, purely in terms of combat power, you could indeed rival Sequence 0 for a short period of time."
"Then why would you say that?" Lin Ruo looked at him, waiting for an answer.
"Little Black, those strange abilities of yours now shouldn't allow you to use Angel-level abilities, right?" Medici didn't answer Lin Ruo's question but asked another question in return.
"Who says so? Isn't summoning your historical projection an Angel-level ability?" Lin Ruo retorted instinctively, but then thought about the meaning of Medici's question.
Medici wouldn't ask this casually, so… Lin Ruo suddenly frowned, looked at Medici, and asked, "Divinity?"
"If I truly simulate Angel-level power, will I also be affected by divinity?"
"You can think of it that way. Actually, I'm not particularly clear about your situation." Perhaps because it involved serious matters, Medici became serious for once. He looked at Lin Ruo and said, "But once you use Angel-level abilities, you will indeed be affected by something. That influence is similar to divinity, but not exactly the same… Anyway, it's not a good influence."
"The more powerful the ability used, the greater the influence."
This is really… Lin Ruo frowned. He had briefly experienced what it was like for divinity to suppress humanity before, so naturally he didn't want to experience it again, let alone become such an existence.
And what does it mean by similar to divinity but not exactly the same… Lin Ruo was puzzled and could only guess at a few possibilities. He then asked, "Then if I stop using it, will I return to normal?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Medici raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Little Black, why didn't I know you were so naive before?"
"That can only mean that your understanding of me wasn't deep enough before!" Lin Ruo subconsciously retorted, but he wasn't surprised by Medici's answer. He just analyzed, "I guess, even if it can't return to normal, the aftereffects of using the power will gradually subside, right?"
"And not using True God-level abilities shouldn't have a particularly big impact."
This was the result of his speculation based on the memories he had recovered and the situation he understood.
"That was later because you exploited a bug and learned how to accumulate the effects of using abilities below the True God level together and solve them all at once." Hearing his analysis, Medici said unhappily, "But you spent a long time exploiting that bug back then. Are you sure you still know how to do that now?"
"In your current state, using Angel-level abilities will probably directly turn you into that little lunatic from back then."
Lin Ruo's expression became strange, "Who taught you the word 'bug'…?"
"The Lord said it when evaluating you." Medici replied, looking at Lin Ruo's strange expression, raising an eyebrow, "Little Black, after so many years, your focus is still so strange!"
Is my focus strange? It's clearly because your pronunciation of 'bug' is too strange…
Lin Ruo complained in his heart, but his heart still became heavy because of Medici's words.
He originally thought that after Klein advanced again, and he could properly simulate Angel-level abilities, his combat power would greatly increase. Now it seems that he was lucky to have decided to talk to Medici beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't even know if he was being tricked.
However… how to solve this?
He must have found a way in the past, but he doesn't remember anything now!
Lin Ruo felt a headache and looked at Medici. Then he remembered something else and asked with a subtle expression, "Was I always asking your historical projection for help because of this reason?"
Medici didn't answer him this time, but took a sip of the wine in his hand and said after a long time:
"A long time ago, the Lord would regularly treat you."
"Later, you would disappear for a considerable amount of time every time you were active for a period of time."
Ah, this!
Lin Ruo was speechless. The memory of the previous picnic flashed through his mind again, and he pursed his lips.
To be honest, Lin Ruo wasn't too surprised that the Creator of the City of Silver regularly treated him to help stabilize his humanity. After all, with the demigod status of the Creator of the City of Silver, it wasn't particularly strange to be able to do this.
However, this path is definitely impossible now. He can't expect Adam to treat him, and Adam may not be able to treat him either.
As for disappearing every time he was active for a period of time… this was actually something Lin Ruo had speculated about before, and now it can be considered confirmed.
But without the memory, Lin Ruo couldn't be sure how he stabilized his humanity during his disappearance.
Could it be like Klein later, relying on sleep?
Lin Ruo speculated in his heart, looking at Medici in front of him, and suddenly remembered another thing, his expression becoming subtle, and asked:
"Was I always asking your historical projection for help because of this reason?"
