Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 324 The Angel of Fate Witnesses Everything

"You've done a great job and haven't let me down." Hearing the person in charge's words, Luo Lin nodded and didn't hold back his praise. He then smiled and said, "By the way, I brought your old friend with me. You haven't seen each other for a long time, so you'll probably need to have a good chat."

He snapped his fingers and pulled a person out of the alternate dimension.

—Colin Iliad, Chief of Silver City!

"Chief!" The current head of Silver City's eyes lit up the moment he saw Colin Iliad, his expression filled with undisguised excitement.

This is not surprising. Compared to the angel Rolin, who inspires both reverence and fear, Colin Iliad, though only a demigod, is the rightful leader of Silver City and the backbone of Silver City for many years. It can be said that many people in Silver City have long regarded him as their spiritual support.

The current head of Silver City is just like that. He was originally an admirer of Colin Iliad. He was appointed as the temporary head of the city because the chief and others were going to explore the outside world. Now that the real leader has finally returned, it would be strange if he wasn't excited.

Colin Iliad nodded to the person in charge, signaling them to calm down, then looked at Rowling, awaiting his instructions.

“You can chat with your old friends, or reassure those who are about to depart. I need to go to Moon City to bring the people over. You have plenty of time before I return,” Roland said with a smile.

He knew that Colin Iliad definitely had a lot of things to deal with. After all, there were no telephones in this era. Even if he could contact Silver City through Mr. Fool, given Colin Iliad's personality, he wouldn't really use Mr. Fool as a phone booth. At most, he would only use him to handle some important matters.

“Thank you, Your Highness Lucifer,” Colin Iliad said sincerely. He did have many things to deal with, such as making arrangements for the remaining citizens of Silver City based on the situation outside, so that they could adapt to the outside environment more quickly and effectively.

Roland smiled but didn't say anything. He then looked at the others and said, "Besides going to pick up the people from Moon City, I also plan to meet the True Creator. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?"

"Why would I be unwilling? Although I have a lot of opinions about someone, I would not hold a grudge against the true creator."

Medici spoke somewhat lazily. Even setting aside the fact that he had put aside his past grudges after stabbing Adam in the kidney, before this, Medici had only been slightly annoyed with the true creator because of Adam's true identity; it was not at all that he didn't want to face it.

“I’m curious about His current state,” Adam said with a smile, a genuine look of inquiry and curiosity in his eyes. His gaze swept over Sasriel beside him, and he said, “He is a greater beneficiary than I am.”

Because of his special condition, Adam was not greatly affected by the appearance of the sun god and other beings. His humanity was able to emerge thanks to Rowling's Persona.

But the true creator is different. The true creator's madness was greatly weakened by the appearance of the sun god, and now with Sasriel present, the true creator's state will only be better.

“I should see Him, I need to see Him.” Sasriel’s expression was slightly complicated as He looked in a certain direction and sighed.

Sasriel had communicated with the true creator of this era, but He had not yet met him. "Since everyone is looking forward to this meeting, let's set off!" Roland was not surprised by this outcome, and nodded with a smile. Then, the group set off in the direction of the true creator.

After traveling for some time, the sanctuary of the true Creator was finally in sight.

This wasn't the first time Rolin had visited the True Creator, so he greeted Urolius, who had clearly sensed something and come to greet them, quite familiarly: "Good evening, Urolius, it's been a long time!"

"Good evening, Lucifer!" Urolius gave a somewhat pleased smile. His gaze then fell on the others, skipping Adam and then cheerfully greeting Medici. Finally, he paused for a moment when he saw Sasriel.

“...Sassriel?”

This was the first time Urelius had seen Sasriel in this era. Before today, although he had heard Medici mention Sasriel, he had never seen him arrive in this era with his own eyes.

But Urelius always held onto this hope, believing that if he waited, he would see the other one day.

And today, His waiting has finally paid off.

While Ulorus was in a daze, Sasriel carefully examined the angel of fate before him. He looked at him very seriously, like a parent who hadn't seen their child in a long time and couldn't help but care about the child's condition after finally seeing them again.

After confirming that Ulorus had neither become a bad child like Amon, nor fallen to the level of Medici as a strange evil spirit, nor become a puppet of the will of the ancient gods like Oscythus, Sasriel finally smiled and looked at Ulorus, saying:
“Long time no see, Urolius. I’m so glad you look just the same as before.”

“I’m also very happy to see you like this, Sasriel.” Ulorus smiled as well, looking at Sasriel with a rare hint of nostalgia and sadness, saying, “I can hardly remember what you look like anymore, since…”

He paused here, seemingly unwilling to mention a certain word, and skipped over it, saying, "I can hardly see your face anymore. At first, I could still see your murals. I drew many, many murals of you based on my memory of your appearance, but later those murals were destroyed, and after my memory was restarted many times, it is not so clear anymore..."

“Even though I’ve been right beside you, I can hardly remember your face anymore, Sasriel.”

What does it feel like when the people around you leave, perish, or become unrecognizable?
Urelius, the angel of fate, was perhaps the one who understood this most deeply. He was one of the first to follow the sun god and the angel who accompanied him the longest, from the Second Age to the present, from the rise of the sun god to his fall, and then to the birth of the true creator.

Ulorus is the only true creator who has accompanied the true creator from birth to the present. He witnessed the glory of the true creator joining forces with Solomon to overpower the six gods and dominate the northern continent, and also witnessed how the true creator was defeated and sealed by the six gods after the successive falls of Medici and Solomon.
