Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 315 Lilith's Stirring Up Trouble
"All of this is thanks to Roland." The Sun God didn't explain much either, simply stating this before asking, "How are you feeling now?"

Osekus paused for a moment, then realized that the question was probably about His human state. He coughed lightly and said, "I feel great. Just now, my humanity was more abundant than ever before, and it even completely overwhelmed God."

"I told you this would work!" Roland said with a smile.

At this moment, Amon suddenly said, "Actually, my humanity isn't that abundant, Father."

The sun god's expression showed a rare hint of embarrassment, but He was clearly still happy for Oscythus, so He looked at the other first and said, "This at least shows that the direction is correct, and that enough humanity can indeed suppress God."

Then He looked at Amon and said, “I’m sorry, Amon, although this may be a little unfair to you, I do indeed regard Osekus and the others as my children.”

“It’s alright, Father, I don’t mind.” Amon said with a smile, but whether he really didn’t mind or was just pretending was anyone’s guess.

Seeing this, Rowling shook his head, looking at the Sun God with a hint of disappointment, and said, "Old Gorilla, although I always tease you about being a Batman, you can't actually be a Batman!"

When Batman is mentioned, besides the labels such as Dark Knight, Joker's nemesis, DC's father, and no-kill principle, what people obviously talk about most is Batman's taciturn nature and his lively family.

As we all know, when a family has many children and the parents are not talkative and cannot be fair enough, family wars are likely to break out. The Bat family is a prime example of this – not only is the father not talkative, but the children are also not talkative, and the whole family is quite strong, so their fights are particularly exciting.

Now, the sun god is clearly on the verge of a family war.

"Who do you think caused this?" Even the sun god couldn't help but ask at this moment, with deep helplessness.

"Anyway, it wasn't me. At most, I only provided a trigger. Ultimately, it's because you, Lao Ge, didn't balance the family relationships well enough."

Luo Lin was not guilty at all. He then patted the Sun God on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It's okay. What family with many children doesn't fight? The sky won't fall."

The sun god shook his head. After thinking for a while, he looked at Osekus and Amon, who seemed to be in harmony but were actually secretly competing, and instructed them: "Fighting is fine, but you must know your limits."

Fighting is really not a big deal in the eyes of the Sun God. After all, it was very normal for the eight archangel kings to fight among themselves back then. Although they did not fight because of this time, there were still many frictions in the past.

The only thing that worries the sun god is that everyone was once the king of angels, but now Oscythus is already Sequence 0, and Amon will inevitably suffer a loss if he faces Him.

Upon hearing the sun god's words, Oscythus and Amun immediately and obediently indicated that they knew their limits, but when their eyes met in private, the tension was even stronger.

It was under these circumstances that the group returned to the divine realm of the god of steam and machinery, arriving at the site of the previous divine battle.

Just as Amon said, Roselle and the God of Steam and Machines had made peace. Judging from the result, Roselle had clearly won. He had few wounds, while the God of Steam and Machines was in a much worse state. Not only were his clothes torn to shreds, but his head was also covered in bumps.

But in a sense, Roselle also lost, because His youngest son Bonova was carefully applying medicine to the god of steam and machinery, which made Roselle's face turn dark. He paced back and forth between the two of them with an expression that could be described as gritting his teeth.

"Where did this medicine come from?" Roland glanced at the medicine in Bonova's hand and asked curiously.

"The Earth Mother Goddess just came by, watched the battle for a while, and left this box of medicine behind," Amon explained simply. Lorin raised an eyebrow and commented, "This woman has a knack for stirring things up."

As for how Lilith knew there was a fight going on here—what a joke! With such a commotion, anyone could sense it. I bet all the other seven gods are hiding somewhere, secretly watching.

However, so far only Osekus and Lilith have openly appeared.

"Boss, you're finally back!" Rosell naturally noticed the returning group. He was about to ask Rolin to speak to the God of Steam and Machinery when he paused and his gaze fell on Osekus.

"Long time no see, Rosell." Osekus greeted him with a normal expression, while at the same time looking at Rosell with some curiosity, mainly observing his condition.

The pollution seems to still be there, but... it's being suppressed by something?
“It has indeed been a long time, Lieyang.” Rosell snorted, but also responded to Osekus.

He certainly knew that Ocycus killed him because He had been corrupted, and Roselle didn't hold much resentment towards him, since it was part of His plan.

But you can't expect Him to greet the Eternal Sun with a smile. The fact that He didn't retaliate for what happened back then is already a concession from Roselle, considering everyone's efforts to protect the Earth.

After all, Russell was hardly a good person.

“Since you both know each other, I don’t need to introduce you.” Roland could naturally see the less-than-friendly atmosphere between the two, but he had no intention of mediating it. He simply looked at the God of Steam and Machinery and said, “Osekus has already voted. God of Steam and Machinery, do you have anything else to say?”

The god of steam and machinery glanced at Ocycus, not surprised by his choice—after all, the sun god had appeared, and given Ocycus's obsession with him, this choice was perfectly normal.

But this also means that He truly has no allies left.

"Yes!" But the God of Steam and Machinery still weakly raised his hand and said feebly, "Can I ask you something? What exactly do you want me to do? I don't think you beat me up just because of personal grudges, right?"

“It’s very simple. I just need your help to advance the technology tree. Of course, I may implement some reforms in the human world later, which will require the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery to provide corresponding assistance.” Roland didn’t hide anything and said with a smile.

"That's it?" The God of Steam and Machinery widened his eyes, saying incredulously, "If you had just told me this, I wouldn't have refused!"

For Him, advancing the technology tree is more beneficial than harmful; it's something the God of Steam and Machinery has always desired. As for any changes—as long as they don't affect His anchor point, the God of Steam and Machinery doesn't care what happens to the human world.

So why was He beaten up?
“Of course it’s because you were a jerk back then!” Rolin looked seriously at the God of Steam and Machines and said, “I already said before that you got beaten up because you were a jerk back then. Even if you meant well, it was a bad thing for the person involved. Rosell beat you up purely out of personal grudge. And isn’t it possible that Rosell already said that from the beginning, and you just didn’t listen?”

God of Steam and Machinery: ...

Oh yes, that seems to be the case!
