The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction)

Chapter 45: Bethel Abraham

Bethel Abraham.

There was only silence among the gods after hearing that name.

The silence was abruptly broken by a thunderous voice.

"Bethel Abraham is a major variable, if not a lethal threat." As his hand hammered on the armrest, sparks of lightning flashed all over him, Leodero stated this. "Even though he's just the king of angels, he has the power to thwart our plans."

"But Bethel isn't like the rest, Leodero. We should have a better understanding of this than others." Herabergan reasoned, as all of the kings of angels under the creator had encountered Bethel long before he became an angel.

"It doesn't change the fact that, with his might, Bethel Abraham poses a serious threat. He has the power to entirely decimate our forces." Badhiel concurred with Leodero on this point.

"Indeed, this may exacerbate the situation by forcing us to deal with him directly. Ultimately, during that chaotic war, it would completely destabilise our advantage." Lilith expressed her opinions as well.

Leodero scowled when he heard Herabergan and others.

"What if he's someone we've met before? How long had it been since we first met him, it was back when he wasn't even an angel? It's been over a thousand years. He can't be the same person, as he was before." Leodero immediately refuted Herabergan.

"However, I've heard that, he frequently wanders the cosmos and rarely stays on earth. The Bethel Abraham that we knew, was the one didn't like restrictions and desired to be unrestricted and free. He even said that rather than staying here, his dream was to roam the sea of stars."

"Based on what I know about the events of the Solomon Empire and his position within the Solomon Empire, I believe my guess is mostly correct." After hearing that, Herabergan did not back down, instead stating all of the facts to back up his words.

"What you just said makes him even more dangerous! He travels the cosmos, where the outer gods are present. After everything that happened with the blood moon, we can clearly see that the outer gods do not lack ways to reach into our world." Leodero exclaimed, as a tyrannical aura swept through the hall.

"Bethel Abraham will mostly not take Solomon's side." Amanines finally spoke up, as a serene aura spread throughout the hall, dispersing the tyrannical aura. "Control your power, Leodero."

"We have an angel with us." She said this as her serene aura enveloped the knelling Trunsoest, relieving him of the pressure and healing his injuries.

Leodero snorted, completely indifferent about Turnoest.

"Amanines, do you know anything about Bethel?" Herabergan inquired after hearing her words about Bethel.

However, Amanines remained strangely quiet, not answering his question.

Aucuces who had been silent previously spoke up to silence any further discussion.

"Let's put this discussion to rest and ask Trunsoest himself about Bethel's situation. As for Cosmos, I believe Bethel is more than capable of surviving there." He spoke calmly.

His words temporarily calmed the situation, and all of the gods focused on Trunsoest, who was able to stand after being healed by Amanines.

Trunsoest groaned in pain as he stood up with trembling legs; the aura of tyranny had earlier severely injured him, causing him to feel immense pain, as if his entire being had been torn apart and crushed. Even though the Evernight Goddess' aura provided reprieve from torture and pain, some aftereffects remained.

Just then, a blaze of pure light fell on him, instantly alleviating all of his sequelae and restoring him to peak condition in an instant.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Trunsoest bowed his head, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

Despite his complicated feelings in his heart, which included a mix of hatred, fear, and helplessness, he didn't show much change on the surface, even after being treated in this manner.

"It's trivial." Aucuces stated flatly. "Now tell us about Bethel Abraham's situation."

"Mr. Door was last seen visiting the Emperor himself after your excellency's attack on the empire."

"They had a disagreement." Trunsoest replied huskily. "The majesty was in a foul mood for a long time after the argument."

"Oh?" Aucuces raised his brows in surprise, not expecting such a turn of events. "How come that was?"

Trunsoest looked up to Eternal Blazing Sun, slightly perplexed, as he reasoned that even this was under the sun god's arrangement.

Nonetheless, he responded immediately.

"It was because of the angel of time, Your Excellency. Mr. Door and Angel of Time were said to be on good terms throughout the empire, and some even believed that they were friends. But, given their paths, I didn't believe it until Mr. Door barged into the royal palace, following the banishment of the angel of time."

Aucuces was speechless when he heard that. He was totally unaware of this. However, this did not come as a surprise, at least not for him, because he was well acquainted with Amon's eccentric personality.

"What a surprise..." Lilith laughed.

After hearing that, Leodero and Herabergan had strange expressions.

"It's unexpected..." Badhiel muttered in surprise. "In particular, it is Amon..."

"How about Antigonus?" Evernight unexpectedy asked about him, surprised, as she looked down at Trunsoest.

"Antigonus is also said to be friendly with Mr. Door and the Angel of Time, but I'm not sure, milady." After a brief silence, Trunsoest responded.

'So it truly is...' Amanines thought, she, too, had heard about this, but she immediately dismissed this, due to the absurdity of the entire situation.

But after hearing Trunsoest, she wasn't sure how she felt about it, but one thing was certain: the pathways of mysteries and beyonders of that pathways never ceases to amaze her.

'I didn't expect the cowardly trio to be a thing.' Aucuces thought amusingly, recalling memes and pictures from his previous life.

However, he was also certain that, with Amon involved, their "friendship" was far from simple.

"So, where has Bethel gone?" Leodero inquired, starting at Trunsoest and putting immense pressure on the other.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Door was last seen entering his home." Trunsoest said cautiously, under the gaze of lord of storms.

"Despite appearances, this entire situation reveals nothing." Herabergan expressed his disapproval. "Bethel Abraham is not as simple as he appears to others."

The other gods were silent in agreement, and while they may have found the previous news amusing, as Herabergan pointed out, it doesn't prove anything in the end.

"Indeed." Finally, Aucuces nodded in agreement. "Bethel is a huge variable in our plan, and his intentions are still unknown to us."

He paused and looked at Trunsoest.

"After this meeting, go to him and inform him that the six gods require his audience!"

Aucuces' voice was majestic and thunderous for Trunsoest, who was stunned by the order of the Eternal Blazing Sun, but soon realisation set in as he considered everything that had happened since meeting the angel of miracles.

"It really took him a long time to figure it out." Lilith smiled and mused. "It's incredible how he managed to survive in a place like the Solomon Empire with his character."

Trunsoest was jolted out of shock by Lilith's voice, and he looked around at the gods, who were all calm, as if they expected this.

"Yo-yo mea-an..." He stumbled.

"Amon discovered my angel while meeting you, so what prevents Bethel from discovering it as well?" Aucuces cut him off. "However, Bethel is very different from Amon, which is why only Amon approached you."

"I will, Your Excellency." Trunsoest finally accepted the order while maintaining his composure.

But, his heart was truly overwhelmed. It was terrifying to think that his betrayal had already been revealed to others and that his fate could have already been sealed.

More importantly, he couldn't comprehend the gods, particularly the eternal blazing sun, who seemed to have considered everything and nothing seemed to escape his grasps or expectations.

He was terrified and saddened by the prospect of working under someone like that in the future.

However, his attention was immediately drawn forward when he noticed the gods rising from their silver thrones in unison after a brief conversation, and peering at him.

A beam of darkness, pure light, twilight, as well as, blot of lightning, a book, and finally a seed all appeared before him and struck his figure before he could react.

He didn't feel any pain or discomfort, which perplexed him even more. To be honest, his emotions were on a roller coaster throughout the entire meeting with gods.

Eternal Blazing Sun's majestic voice echoed in the hall.

"We, the Six Gods, bless you, Trunsoest, for your first mission, which you will know on the day of the war."

"Trunsoest, you will be first to usher in the new era with your own hand. Just as you had envisioned, the era of order and justice will arrive."

"So, don't let us down and then regret it..."

Trunsoest's consciousness sank into eternal darkness before he could even process that.
