Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 306 The Mother Tree ran away quickly.

"Is this a matter of whether the method is brutal or not?" The God of Steam and Machinery swallowed hard and said weakly, "If I say now that I believe you are that ancient sun god, can I escape this calamity?"

The ancient sun god did not answer the question, but instead looked at Roland.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Steambase, but as the saying goes, since we've already come all this way, we can't just leave like this." Roland gave the God of Steam and Machinery a gentle smile, but his words were icy cold.

"And strictly speaking, the reason we decided to beat you up is because of the scum you've done. People have to pay the price for their actions, don't they?"

The god of steam and machinery paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at Rosell.

Rosell faced the gaze of the God of Steam and Machinery without flinching, and said frankly, "Steam, perhaps you do have good intentions, but I must seek justice for my child."

Bonova, standing next to him, frowned as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped before he could speak.

Amon placed his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and said, "This is a matter between your father and the Lord you believe in. You should leave it to them to resolve themselves, which is what they would want."

Bonova paused for a moment, glancing at Roselle and then at the God of Steam and Machines. Neither of them looked at him, but Bonova suddenly understood that Amon was right.

This is a matter between them, and it must be resolved by them.

"Alright! I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time, Rosell!" The God of Steam and Machinery suddenly laughed, looking at Rosell and saying, "I've been holding a grudge about what happened back then!"

Rosell harbored resentment towards Bonova because of what happened to her, but wasn't Bonova also harboring resentment towards Rosell for the betrayal?

None of them would be satisfied without a fight.

“That’s right, that’s the attitude a real man should have!” Rosell smiled, then looked at the ancient sun god and said politely, “I’m counting on you, Mr. Grisha.”

Why did things turn out this way? The reason is simple: just now, while speaking outside the divine realm, Roselle suddenly proposed that He wanted to personally go and beat up the God of Steam and Machines.

"This is between Him and me. I won't be satisfied until I personally give Him a good beating." Roselle's expression was complicated. The megaphone in his hand was still playing the words he had just shouted, a result of being distorted by the Black Emperor's power.

“Although steam is not a god skilled in combat, please allow me to remind you that you are not a proper Sequence 0 right now.” Roland looked at Rosell, not objecting, but simply reminding him.

“Therefore, I hope to get help from Mr. Sun God.” Rosell looked at the ancient Sun God and said sincerely, “I also know a little about God. If Mr. Sun God is willing to help me, perhaps I can temporarily restore the power of Sequence 0.”

Faced with Roselle's request, the ancient sun god neither agreed nor refused, but instead looked at Rolin.

“If you can do it, then help Him!” Roland said, smiling as he looked back at the Sun God.

So the sun god nodded and looked at Rosell, saying, "I can indeed help you briefly return to your peak, and even make you stronger, but are you confident that you can suppress the god of steam and machinery?"

"If it were someone else, I might not be so sure, but this shut-in Steam... ha, if I can't even beat him, then I might as well die!" Rosell said with great confidence.

Since He had said so, the Sun God naturally didn't say anything more and nodded. And so the scene described earlier unfolded.

Let's rewind to the present. In response to Rosell's request, the ancient sun god raised his hand, and golden light fell upon Rosell, instantly changing His aura.

If Roselle previously only possessed the rank of Sequence 0 without the corresponding power, then Roselle has now briefly returned to his peak, truly becoming a Black Emperor.

This is a method belonging to a semi-god, exploiting the audience's imaginary authority.

In addition, the sun god used the power of the sun and knowledge to buff Roselle, greatly enhancing his power.

The God of Steam and Machinery watched this scene silently, neither intervening nor able to. But He was not idle either. Pieces of metal floated around Him, forming a colossal mecha-like structure. At the same time, a scroll appeared in the God of Steam and Machinery's hand, depicting scenes of history related to steam, His imprints on the world.

Roland stared at the two who were about to clash, then suddenly shook his head and said, "How can Steam possibly win? Its ultimate moves are all Roselle's!"

Yes, the historical panorama presented by the god of steam and machinery is rich with traces of Roselle.

Seeing this scene, Roselle probably recalled something, and his expression became complicated for a moment, but this obviously did not change his determination to beat up the God of Steam and Machines.

Coincidentally, the other party thought the same thing.

Thus began the war of the gods, a clash between the perfect and the Black Emperor, a battle between machinery and rules.

Both fighters gave it their all in this battle, yet neither seemed to go for the kill. Overall, however, Roselle held the upper hand, showing signs of dominating the God of Steam and Machines.

And whether it was intentional or not, despite not being known for close combat, Roselle repeatedly rushed in front of the God of Steam and Machinery and threw punches, each time aiming hard at His face. First, he gave the God of Steam and Machinery a stylish panda eye, and then he caused bumps to swell up on His head.

"It's hard to say how damaging it is, but it's certainly satisfying to watch," Roland commented. After watching the battle of the gods for a while, he lost interest and walked to the edge of the divine realm, to the edge of the astral plane, curiously examining the barrier in front of him.

It was this barrier that defended against the invasion of the outer gods, and at this moment, perhaps sensing the movement inside the barrier, a huge shadow could be vaguely seen outside the barrier, which clearly belonged to one of the outer gods.

"The Mother Tree of Desire." The Sun God appeared beside Roland at some point, looking at the shadows outside the barrier and calling out his name.

"What a pity, I thought it would be the Mother Goddess! But cassava is an old friend..." Roland gave a slightly regretful smile, then raised his hand and placed it on the barrier, suddenly laughing as he said:
"Hi!"

Then, visibly, the huge shadow outside the barrier trembled, and the other party seemed to realize something, running away as if it had seen a ghost.

“Why are you running so fast? I’m not going to eat Him…” Roland shook his head, withdrew his hand, and then opened his palm. There was something in his palm, a flesh-colored “twig”.

The ancient sun god looked at the "twig" in Rolin's hand with a strange expression, and suddenly understood why the mother tree had fled as if it had seen a ghost.

"Don't look at me like that. It's just a few stripped-off characteristics, maybe Sequence 9? It's really not worth mentioning." Roland glanced at the Ancient Sun God and said with a smile.
