Absolving Lammasu rulings
You don't have to choose a target for Absolving Lammasu's last ability. However, if you do, and that permanent is an illegal target at the time the ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't gain life.
When an effect suspects a creature, it becomes suspected. It gains menace and "This creature can't block" for as long as it's suspected. It stays suspected until it leaves the battlefield or another effect causes it to no longer be suspected.
If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won't stop being suspected.
Being suspected isn't a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won't be suspected.
If a creature is already suspected, suspecting it again won't have any effect.
There's no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn't cause other creatures to stop being suspected.
Absolving Lammasu keyword rules
Flying Rule 702.9
Flying is an evasion ability.
A creature with flying can’t be blocked except by creatures with flying and/or reach. A creature with flying can block a creature with or without flying. (See rule , “Declare Blockers Step,” and rule , “Reach.”)
Multiple instances of flying on the same creature are redundant.
Suspect Rule 701.58
Certain spells and abilities instruct a player to suspect a creature. That creature becomes suspected until it leaves the battlefield or until a spell or ability causes it to no longer be suspected.
Suspected is a designation a permanent can have. Only permanents can have the suspected designation. Suspected is neither an ability nor part of the permanent’s copiable values.
A suspected permanent has menace and “This creature can’t block” for as long as it’s suspected.
A suspected permanent can’t become suspected again.
