Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 318 Rosell: I remembered some happy things.

"Actually, I also think it's pretty overpowered. It's almost one of my most useful abilities." Of course, Roland could see what they were thinking, and he said with a sigh.

He has acquired quite a few abilities so far, but not many of them have been of great use. After all, there are basically no mid-to-low-level abilities that Rolin gets involved in, so many of his abilities have become useless.

However, thanks to the power of the Chaos Path, some of Rolin's abilities still proved very useful. For example, "Avatar" allowed Rolin to gain true Sequence 2 level combat power, instead of having to rely on favorability to gain power in a short period of time as before.

However, in terms of usability, "Personality" is not necessarily much less useful than "Avatar".

After all, the "Persona" ability is simply too overpowered in a world that values ​​humanity and anchor points. If the avatar provides direct combat power, then the "Persona" is basically the best ability to win over allies and help them stabilize their situation.

Don't you see? With the help of Persona, Adam has evolved into version 2.0!
"The only problem is that if we keep issuing these masks, we'll run out sooner or later," Rowling muttered to himself. The number of Personas he could use wasn't unlimited; at Sequence 6, he could only use 10. And for these to be effective, they basically had to be active all the time, so Rowling had been very cautious with them, and so far he had only issued Adam, Azik, and Bonova.

As for Amon, although Rowling had been giving him various forms of talk therapy, he did not make him wear a mask.

"Fortunately, once I advance to the role of a scriptwriter, the upper limit of Persona should be able to increase again, according to common sense." As Rowling thought this, he noticed that Osekus was looking at him with a hesitant expression, which made him look at the other person and ask with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something you need, Osekus?"

“Perhaps I also need a mask like this,” Osekus said somewhat tactfully.

Rowling paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure? Wearing a mask means that once your emotions reach a certain level, I will have the ability to control you."

“But I am now living under God’s control, like a puppet.” Osekus said bluntly. He smiled bitterly and looked at Rolin, “And to be honest, although I’m not sure what kind of being you are, I think if you really want to control me, there are probably many ways.”

Osekus wasn't stupid. Putting aside the visible terror within Rolin and his special ability to summon the ancient sun god, just the fear that God showed towards Rolin was enough for Osekus to believe what kind of being he was.

This is something even God has to bow down to!

However, this is not the only reason why Osekus wanted to wear the mask.

Osekus suddenly glanced at the sun god beside him, then looked at Roland again and said, "Most importantly, I believe in the Lord's choice."

Yes, the biggest reason for Ocycus to risk being manipulated by wearing the mask was that he believed in the choice of the sun god and in His vision.

Upon hearing this, Rolin chuckled. He also glanced at the Sun God and teased, "Grisha, your reputation is truly excellent. You really are worthy of being the savior who once saved humanity."

The Sun God wasn't proud of Roland's words; He simply smiled gently and looked at Roland, saying:
“But I think it’s not just because of my reputation, but also because you are truly trustworthy. If you were really a lawless person, even with my reputation as a guarantee, they wouldn’t choose to believe you.”

"Hiss, a divine succubus, how terrifying!" Roland gasped dramatically, then gave the Sun God a thumbs up and said, "Old Ge, you can talk."

The sun god was somewhat helpless in the face of his reaction, but his smile remained gentle.

Rowling then looked at Osekus and said, "Since you have made your decision, then so be it!" Of course, he would not refuse Osekus's request to help him; fighting against God was originally part of his deal with Osekus.

In fact, even if Osekus didn't bring it up, if the plan to help him stabilize his humanity didn't work out, Rowling would have suggested that he wear a mask to increase his humanity.

Rollin hadn't expected Osekus to be so perceptive and bring it up on his own initiative.

It seems God really put a lot of pressure on Oscythus!

However, this was the first time Rolin had put a mask on a Sequence 0 level being, which made him look at the other party with curiosity and ask, "How do you feel now?"

"...It's like having an additional anchor point. Its presence isn't strong, but it exists unwaveringly and is growing at a very slow but definitely present pace."

After sensing for a while, Osekus said, "The more inhuman the situation, the more its effect will likely be felt."

“Good that it works!” Roland listened with great interest, then looked at Osekus and said, “I have some ideas about how to use my power to suppress the power of God within you, but it still needs to be put into practice. Let’s set a time later, I need to do a few experiments.”

Although the physical examination of Osekus was interrupted because God was discovered, this does not mean that Rolin has given up his idea of ​​using the power of the Nyarlathotep fragments to help Osekus temporarily suppress God's will.

As for whether God will have any objections to this?
Rowling didn't care. Their bet didn't include anything like that. Besides, Rowling didn't make the agreement with God through God's charity, so why would he hesitate because of God's opinion?

In fact, God is probably the one who is more afraid of turning against us.

As for whether God might misunderstand that Rowling was trying to corrupt Him with absolute madness, leading to a fight to the death—God isn't that stupid.

“Okay.” Osekus naturally had no objection to this and nodded subconsciously. He then noticed that Roselle next to him had ended their parent-child time at some point and was looking at him with a gloating look.

"Brother, keep it up!" Seeing that He was looking over, Roselle not only did not hide his expression, but walked up and patted Osekus on the shoulder, saying.

Osekus: ?
Ocycus suddenly had a feeling that the other party might have gone mad, but He wasn't stupid. He then realized something and had a bad feeling. He looked at Roselle and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

“Of course, it’s because I thought of something happy,” Rosell said with a smile.

"What's so good?" Osekus's ominous premonition intensified.

“My wife is pregnant… Ugh!” Roselle spat, instinctively picking up on the joke. He glanced at Osekus, perhaps out of some pity for his fellow sufferer, and finally spoke up: “Do you know how Lucifer helped me suppress the pollution within me?”

"How did you do that?" Osekus asked instinctively.
