Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 314 The Sun God's Family War
“Of course I’m serious.” Roland looked at Him with a straight face and said, “Osekus’s obsession is clearly with you, and His deepest humanity is also related to you. So why don’t you give something in return? The chances of it being effective are high, aren’t they? Anyway, there’s no harm in trying. Don’t you want Osekus to reclaim more of himself?”

Osekus, standing nearby, was completely bewildered, because Rowling had just said "my son" directly in English, which Osekus did not understand.

The sun god pondered for a moment, then looked at Osekus and said, "Although I think you probably already know, it just occurred to me that I haven't actually told you myself yet."

"What?" Osekus asked in confusion, not knowing why his heart was starting to race.

“I am always grateful that I was able to save you in time back then, Oscythus!” The sun god looked at Oscythus with gentle eyes and said, “You are the first child I saved, and the first child I raised by my side. I have always regarded you as my eldest son.”

Osekus visibly stiffened, his eyes widened, and he seemed unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, feeling somewhat lightheaded.

What did He hear?
Was He hallucinating?
Lord, the Lord said... that He regarded Him as His firstborn son?

It's no wonder Oscythus reacted so strongly; after all, He wouldn't even dare to dream of something this big.

To draw an analogy, imagine Medici suddenly stopping his sarcastic remarks and starting to speak sweetly; anyone would be stunned for a moment.

"Hiss, it's all hard. Should we bury it?" Just then, Roland reached out and poked Osekus's arm, then shook his head and said seriously.

The sun god glanced at him helplessly, then looked at Oscythus with a hint of concern and said, "Are you alright, Oscythus?"

"I...I'm fine, Lord...Lord, I just seem to be hallucinating..." Osekus stammered, looking completely lost and helpless. He didn't seem like the majestic and proud Eternal Sun at all, but rather like a young man who had just entered society.

“It’s not an illusion.” The sun god looked at Him, shook his head seriously, and said, “I do indeed regard you as my firstborn son, and I love you as I love all my children.”

Osekus's brain seemed to completely freeze at that moment.

"Paji——"

He suddenly collapsed.

The sun god was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly went to check on Oscythus's condition, but before he could check, Oscythus got up again.

“I’m sorry, Lord, I was so out of line, but I really, really…” Oscythus’s expression was incredibly complex at that moment, a mixture of joy, embarrassment, shame, and excitement. He looked at the sun god and said, “I’m very happy!”

The sun god paused for a moment, then smiled gently, reached out and patted Oscythus on the head, saying, "I know, and I'm happy too."

"Tsk tsk!" Luo Lin clicked his tongue upon seeing this, then nudged Amon, who had appeared out of nowhere, with his elbow and asked sincerely, "Amon, do you feel like your home has been raided?"

Upon hearing this, Amon glanced at him, then raised his hand to push up his monocle and smiled, saying, "I don't mind. I'm my father's only child."

“Really?” Rowling indicated his disbelief and raised a question, “But your fist looks like it’s about to be thrown.”

Indeed, while pushing up his glasses with one hand, Amon's other hand was already clenched into a fist, looking like he couldn't wait to punch someone.

Considering that He is also a heavyweight Oedipus-like king, this punch will obviously land on Osekus.

"Ahem..." Hearing the conversation between the two, even the Sun God couldn't help but cough awkwardly, avoiding looking at Amon.

After all, it's like petting a stray cat in front of your own cat—anyone would feel a little guilty. As Osekus stood up, he leisurely straightened his clothes, which were slightly disheveled from the fall, while secretly giving Amon a wink.

If Rowling wasn't mistaken, it was probably a provocative look.

Amon, of course, didn't miss that provocative look, which made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly as he said, "Interesting!"

hiss!
Upon seeing this, Roland gasped, shook his head, and looked at the Sun God, saying, "How terrifying, Medici, your old father! You're practically a succubus of divine power!"

The sun god looked at him helplessly and said, "Do you really want Medici to feel involved in this?"

“After all, he’s still a child. Although He prefers Sasriel, a father can’t show favoritism!” Roland said with a smile. “Besides, the more people involved in a family war, the more exciting it is.”

Even the sun god couldn't help but twitch his lips at this moment.

He then shook his head helplessly and looked at Amon, asking, "Amon, is the matter over there finished?"

“They’ve finished fighting.” Amon nodded, then suddenly asked, “If Oscythus is your eldest son, Father, then what is Adam?”

The sun god paused, then looked at Amon with some helplessness and said, "Amon, you should already know that Adam is me."

“But I don’t think so, just as I never thought the true creator was my father.” Amon shook his head. He was a staunch representative of the idea that different personalities are different people, and naturally he would not think that Adam was the same person just because he was an incarnation of the sun god.

“But that’s the truth, and Adam himself thought so too.” The sun god clearly wasn’t going to argue with his own son about this, since such a question was unlikely to yield a result. So He immediately changed the subject and looked at Roland, saying, “Let’s go check on the situation over there. If anyone is seriously injured, they need to receive timely treatment.”

Clearly, even the sun god would feel helpless when dealing with family issues.

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, didn't refuse, and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

He then looked at Osekus and invited with a smile, "Osekus, would you like to go and take a look?"

Although Osekus didn't know exactly what was going on, he could roughly guess what had happened—after all, Roselle's presence was very obvious over there.

So He nodded, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Has the pollution on Roselle's body been resolved?"

As the key player who killed Rosell back then, Osekus naturally knew about the corruption.

Or rather, it was precisely because Roselle was corrupted by the Outer Gods that Ocycus was so determined to deal with Him—a corrupted Sequence 0 should absolutely not exist in this world; it's too dangerous.

Otherwise, even out of consideration for the God of Steam and Machines, and for the approaching end of the world, Ocycus wouldn't have been so foolish as to kill a Sequence 0 who had no deep grudge against Him.

"I guess this is a temporary solution!" Luo Lin said with a smile, without offering any further explanation.

Osekus's expression immediately turned curious, but he could also tell that Rolin didn't want to explain too much, so he could only turn his curious gaze to the sun god, hoping to get an answer from his beloved lord.
