Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 327 Nyarlathotep's Words

Lorin didn't ask them what they had discussed in detail. He simply told the True Creator about his chosen location and asked Him to help prepare for the construction of the biological laboratory. Then he led his people toward Moon City.

Rolin had not forgotten his main purpose in coming to the Forsaken Land.

When Rolin arrived in Moon City, the people there had obviously already been notified and were prepared.

Luo Lin didn't waste any time. After putting all these people into the alternate dimension, he returned to Silver City.

"Your Highness Lucifer, you're back." Colin Iliad had clearly been waiting for a long time, and upon noticing the return of Rowling and the others, he immediately came to greet them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Colin." Rowling smiled at him, and without exchanging any further pleasantries, they went together to the gathering place for the people who had gone out of Silver City this time.

The number of people from Silver City who went out this time was similar to that of Moon City, both around a thousand. However, because the average height of Silver City residents was over two meters, each person was equivalent to two or more ordinary people, making them appear as a vast, swarming group.

Fortunately, Rowling's alternate dimension was large enough to accommodate 1000 people. He even thoughtfully arranged for Colin Iliad, the chief of Silver City, to calm everyone down. He had also prepared some fruits, food, and books introducing the outside world in the alternate dimension.

After assembling the people of Silver City, Rolin and his group did not linger in the Forsaken Land and quickly returned to Rune with the two thousand men.

Because he had already communicated with the Church of the Night, Roland had naturally prepared a place to accommodate the two thousand people all at once. So when he arrived at the destination, he released the two thousand people from the alternate dimension.

The warm sunlight shone on every person in the Forsaken Land, causing them to look up involuntarily and see the azure sky and the dazzling, enormous sun.

At this moment, many people felt fear, but they did not look away. They continued to gaze at the sky and the sun, staring with almost greedy eyes at everything that was so different from the land abandoned by the gods.

This is something that cannot be described in any language or painting; it is something that everyone living in this magical place pursues throughout their lives.

Only at this moment did everyone have a dazed sense of reality—they were truly saved!

At that moment, everyone's emotions were intense, whether it was excitement, joy, or agitation. Many people knelt down on the spot, and even a tall man over two meters tall cried like a child.

Amidst this intense emotion, Rowling calmly took out a potion he had just prepared and drank it down in one gulp.

In a moment of daze, Roland felt as if he saw countless overlapping phantoms, which were countless versions of himself, and countless possibilities of fate.

He watched these phantoms from a detached, God-like perspective, seeing them rush towards their respective destinies. He saw countless deaths, as well as various endings besides death. Rowling even saw that in one of these endings, he replaced the original body and became the only true Nyarlathotep.

In a daze, he seemed to hear a laugh, a laugh that was both familiar and strange.

"Why not give this kind of destiny a try? We all know you can do it, easily."

Luo Lin was momentarily dazed. His somewhat confused mind instinctively tried to figure out who the voice was coming from, and then he remembered.

It turned out he was the one speaking.

Rowling instinctively frowned. He wanted to retort, but his muddled mind left him speechless. "Why not choose me? It's the best outcome, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the voice spoke again, carrying an indescribable allure that made Luo Lin instinctively want to nod.

Suddenly, a red moon rose in the space, and its cold moonlight shone on Rolin, making him shudder and clearing his mind.

At that very moment, another layer of phantoms suddenly enveloped the countless phantoms. These phantoms were no longer individual Luo Lins, but rather the phantoms of the Silver City and Moon City people that Luo Lin had just seen, or rather, the embodiment of their twisted fate.

The intense emotions of thousands of people enveloped Luo Lin at this moment, bringing him to his complete waking up.

Roland took a deep breath, looked at the phantom that had devoured Nyarlathotep, and said, "But in this case, are you me or Nyarlathotep?"

The phantom chuckled upon hearing this, a smile unlike Rolin's, more wicked, yet tinged with a hint of regret: "What a pity, I thought I could trick you into coming back this time, my Black Sheep, my child! Yog is such a bad guy, preventing our family from being reunited."

Luo Lin's lips twitched. He looked at the illusory figure in front of him, not afraid, but sincerely said, "Thanks for the invitation, but I don't really want a physical reunion with you. Goodbye!"

As Luo Lin finished speaking, all the phantoms disappeared, and Luo Lin opened his eyes again.

"My goodness! That scared me!" Luo Lin patted his chest, still feeling a bit shaken.

Although he wasn't afraid of Nyarlathotep's true form, to be honest, Rowling didn't really want to deal with him.

Rather, who would want to deal with that guy?
"Fortunately, I have already righteously severed ties with Him with Bubble and Mother Goat as witnesses. Whew!" Rowling breathed a sigh of relief as he remembered something.

This experience of meeting the original body also brought back some memories for Rolin, but they were only fragments of memory. It confirmed to him that he had indeed severed ties with the original body long ago, and that this was done in the presence of two other gods.

But... what exactly was my situation back then, how did I end up being connected to all three pillar gods at the same time?

Rowling fell into deep thought. After pondering for a few seconds without reaching a conclusion, he decided to stop considering the matter.

After all, those things are in the past, and Rowling never dwells on the past.

Rowling then began to enthusiastically perceive his new abilities.

The scriptwriter's potion naturally enhanced Rowling's spirituality once again, making Rowling suddenly feel that if his spirituality continued to increase like this, perhaps one day, summoning the sun god on a daily basis would not be a problem.

It's not that we can't look forward to it!
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but smile, and continued to examine his abilities. Just like with each of his previous advancements, Roland's abilities had been strengthened again after this advancement. For example, the Hundred Faces Mask had successfully broken through the transformation from human form to beast form. Now, when Roland wore the Hundred Faces Mask, he could even directly transform into a kitten.

The Persona adds a fantasy experience function, which, simply put, allows the wearer to record a memory or emotion of another person, enabling them to immerse themselves in that memory and emotion.
