Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 307 The Eternal Sun Makes its Debut
If you ask him what he just did, the answer is simple: Rolin simply used the power of the Destiny Horse to steal from the Mother Tree. However, he activated the Nyarlathotep fragments within his body to enhance the power, which is why Rolin was able to successfully steal the Mother Tree's power.

However, Rolin also had a feeling that even if cassava didn't escape, he probably wouldn't be able to extract more of its characteristics at the moment.

As for why Rolin was able to use the power of the Trojan Horse of Destiny, the reason is simple—just now, Lucifer's disguise was successfully transformed, becoming a proper Sequence 2.

The "transformation" potion was successfully digested the moment Lucifer's disguise was complete.

It has to be said that this progress is actually a bit faster than the preliminary selection by Rowling, but considering the efforts he has made, Rowling is not surprised.

"Once the matter of the God of Steam and Machinery is resolved, I can advance to the level of a scriptwriter," Roland muttered to himself. He then took out a box from the alternate dimension and put in the Sequence 9 trait he had directly stolen from the Mother Tree, intending to use this trait to analyze the power of the Mother Tree later.

“In that respect, Torzna is pretty lucky.” Rolin nodded, put the box back into the alternate dimension, and then thought of something else: “However, Torzna is still under the control of the Mother Tree. The decontamination could be done remotely before, but surgery can’t be done that way. Tsk, looks like I’ll have to find a time to snatch Him back!”

Thinking of this, Rolin turned his head to look at the ancient sun god beside him and said, "Grisha, there may be a battle in a while that requires your help."

"Who is the enemy?" The ancient sun god looked at him and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"The Rose School." Rowling didn't keep them in suspense and said frankly, "I plan to snatch Little To back."

The ancient sun god paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Alright!"

He was well aware of the current situation of the bound god Thorzna, and for this reason, he had no objection to Rolin's actions, and was even very pleased with them.

The Outer Gods were the enemies of all of them, and the ancient sun god was happy to do anything to deal with them.

Lorin, meanwhile, began to sketch out more details of the plan in his mind, such as contacting Miss Exeggutor before the war began.

Just then, Roland suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.

The sun god also seemed to sense something and looked in that direction, where a familiar figure was approaching.

He was a handsome man, tall and dressed in a magnificent white robe with gold trim. His hair was a brilliant gold, which made one think of the sun.

The man's golden eyes were fixed on the ancient sun god, his expression one of disbelief and daze.

Rolin raised an eyebrow, guessing the other party's identity—Eternal Sun Osekus.

It's not surprising that the other party would appear here. After all, the divine kingdoms of the Seven Gods are basically all in the Astral Plane. Even if they are not neighbors, they are not too far apart. As for the movements of the God of Steam and Machines, Rolin did not deliberately hide them. It is perfectly normal for others to notice them.

Roland didn't care about this, or rather, he deliberately made people aware of it—if Roland needed to keep a low profile initially due to insufficient strength and lack of allies, then now he had absolutely no need to keep a low profile.

The goddess of night, the lord of storms, the earth goddess, and the god of steam and machinery among the seven gods already know of his existence. Of the remaining three gods, the god of war is just a little Karami who will die sooner or later, so there's no need to care. As for the dignified god of war, Rolin also believes that Erwulong will make the right decision after knowing of his existence.

As for the Eternal Sun… Roland had already shown some interest in him, so he naturally didn't mind if the other knew of his existence. Of course, Roland didn't deny that he was even more curious about the Eternal Sun's reaction upon seeing the Ancient Sun God.

"...Who are you?" The Eternal Sun finally spoke, stopping some distance from the Ancient Sun God. Its golden eyes looked at the Ancient Sun God, its expression still calm, but its hands beneath its robes were clenched tightly.

The ancient sun god did not avoid the gaze of the eternal blazing sun; instead, He met its gaze openly. Suddenly, He sighed and smiled, saying:
"Long time no see, Osekus."

The Eternal Sun paused, and one could imagine that its feelings at that moment were incredibly complex. Looking at the Sun God, it asked, "You've returned?"

“No, I have only briefly traveled from the past to this era.” The ancient sun god shook his head and said, “You can think of me as a time traveler. I will only stay in this time and space for a very short period of time.”

"The past?" The Eternal Sun was naturally puzzled, but He did not question the truth of the statement. Instead, He seemed to have realized something and said, "No wonder I could vaguely sense the power of the sun within you even though I had not lost my uniqueness."

His gaze then fell on Roland, and he said, "Is it His power?"

"Hi!" Rowling greeted the other person with a smile, saying, "I am Lucifer, but you can also call me Lucifer. Please use his name to refer to me; I prefer to be treated as a human being."

"...You are very dangerous. I can feel the power within you, extremely dangerous, enough to overturn this world." Eternal Sun looked at Rolin and said after a few seconds.

"To be honest, steam is really a bit embarrassing. It feels like even a god has seen more than steam," Roland said with a smile, speaking frankly.

“I do possess the power to overturn this world, but fortunately, I have no intention of doing so. At least for now, I stand with you.”

Upon hearing this, the Eternal Sun did not express whether it believed him or not, but simply looked at the Ancient Sun God.

“He is indeed on the side of humanity, at least for now,” the ancient sun god nodded and said.

The Eternal Sun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, or perhaps not. He was silent for a second, then, as if he had thought of something, looked at the Sun God and said, "You say you come from the past, so do you know your future?"

“I know.” The ancient sun god’s expression was calm, even somewhat benevolent. He looked at the eternal sun like a forgiving father and said, “That’s not your fault, Osekus.”

Osekus's body trembled for a moment, but he did not speak, only looking at the ancient sun god.

The ancient sun god, however, stepped toward him. He stood before Oscythus and gently patted him on the head, like a priest guiding a lamb or a father comforting a child.

Ancient Sun God Path:

"Thank you for all these years, Osekus."
