Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 335 Healing in the Eternal Sun

After talking with Russell, Rowling didn't immediately continue working. Instead, he chose to rest for a night and recover his energy.

The next morning, after a good night's sleep, Rowling got ready, ate a simple breakfast, and then summoned the incarnation of "Lucifer".

"Jack is engrossed in his studies, Lucifer is handling his work, and the real body is resting. Everyone has a bright future." Rowling multitasked with his alternate identity, while his real body didn't plan to go out but instead picked up a novel to read.

This is Fors' latest masterpiece, telling the story of the great detective Sherlock and the doll girl, which contains a variety of elements such as detective work, the supernatural and romance.

Rowling planned to read a sample first, and if the story was really good, he would share it with a certain Mr. Fool who was playing Medici in a border city.

While reading the new book, Rolin also controlled Lucifer's avatar to go out. Soon he arrived in the Astral Plane, preparing to visit two of the Seven Gods.

One of them is the eternal sun, and Rolin wants to study a way to cure Him.

Secondly, there is the goddess of the night, Rolin's main concern being Antigonus.

Eternal Sun was clearly prepared for Rolin's visit. As soon as Rolin arrived at the border of the divine kingdom, the passage of Eternal Sun's divine kingdom opened, and Osekus, dressed exactly as before, appeared before Rolin.

His gaze first searched around Rolin, clearly looking for the figure of a certain sun god. Upon discovering that Rolin had indeed come alone, Osekus seemed somewhat disheartened, but still managed a smile at Rolin and said:
"Good day, Lord Lucifer, thank you for your help."

His attitude was quite humble, which is not surprising. Although Osekus was proud, he was selective about who he treated. Even disregarding Rolin's true nature, Osekus would not be arrogant in front of Rolin just because of Rolin's relationship with the Sun God.

"Good day, Osekus!" Rolin smiled at Osekus and said, "If you are looking for the sun god, I'm sorry He is not here. But if you want to see Sasriel, He has plenty of time right now."

Osekus paused for a moment, then clearly remembered something, and asked, "So your experiment with the Lord was successful?"

"Have you not communicated with the true creator during this time?" Rowling asked with a smile.

Upon hearing a certain name, Osekus pursed his lips and said, "I do not believe that the true creator is equal to Sasriel."

“It seems you and Amon have a lot in common.” Rolin glanced at Him and continued, “Saslir is busy right now. If you want to see Him, you can create an avatar after the treatment is over, and I will take you there to see Him.”

Because they still need to seal the cracks in the barrier, the seven gods cannot leave the astral plane at will, but they can still create a clone by dividing a portion of their power and travel to reality.

“Thank you.” Osekus did not refuse Rolin’s kindness. He did want to meet Sasriel. Although he did not regard Sasriel as a mother like a certain red angel, Sasriel was still an elder whom Osekus respected very much.

Rowling smiled and said nothing more. He then followed Oscythus into His divine kingdom and arrived at the place where Oscythus usually lived.

"Is there anything I need to prepare?" Even Osekus couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

“I’m afraid you need to restrain your strength, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold you down if you start struggling.” Roland didn’t stand on ceremony. He took out a specially made operating table from his spatial storage and looked at Osekus, speaking seriously.

This is, after all, a proper Sequence 0, and the sealing bed created by Mr. Gate alone is certainly not enough to completely subdue the opponent.

Osekus paused for a moment, and the words Roselle had said earlier flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but glance at the sealing bed that clearly came from Mr. Door. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

While not as proficient and versatile as the Gate of Methods, Osekus, as the strongest notary at present, naturally had ways to limit his own power for a short time. But it must be said that this feeling was really strange, like sending himself to the guillotine.

After Osekus sealed his power, Rolin didn't waste any time. He had Osekus lie down on the sealing bed and then activated the bed's sealing effect.

"Be prepared, Osekus! But don't worry, I won't let you go crazy, nor will I let you die."

Ocycus saw Rolin give him a reassuring smile, which was his last relatively clear memory of this period.

Because in the time that followed, Ocycus's memory became distorted and fragmented, and the only relatively clear impression he retained was of darkness and chaos.

Osekus had another illusion, as if at some moment, he had been thrown into a bottomless abyss, where some terrible, indescribable being existed. Osekus didn't remember whether he had seen the appearance of that being clearly, only that he felt some kind of inexplicable madness.

This madness made Him grin and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Ocycus also had a delusion that in this long, seemingly endless twisting, He would occasionally forget who He was, and occasionally feel that He was another being.

This made Him hear a soft laugh, somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange.

Who is it?
As Osekus was in a daze, it seemed as if a name was about to slip out, but before he could actually say it, someone covered his mouth.

"Don't forget who you really are, Osekus."

The familiar name brought Ocytus back to his senses for a moment, but also interrupted his previous thoughts. Ocytus suddenly couldn't remember which name he had just said, but his body was trembling uncontrollably for some reason.

……

Chaos, distortion, and long darkness.

When Oscythus opened his eyes again, he couldn't even remember who he was or what had happened before.

"How do you feel now?"

It wasn't until Rolin's voice rang out beside him that Osekus snapped out of his daze. He finally remembered everything that belonged to him, but he still couldn't recall what had just happened. His soul's instinct told him that it was something he never wanted to experience again.

“I…” Osekus opened his mouth, his voice dry and hoarse. He looked at Roland and asked, “What just happened?”

"That's not important. What's important is how you feel right now." Roland looked at Osekus without changing his expression, but if anyone familiar with Roland were present, they would surely have noticed his guilty conscience.

Lorin was indeed a little guilty, after all, he had almost put the upgraded version of "The Primal Awakens in My Body" into practice on Osekus—"Nyarlathotep Awakens in My Body." The chaos belonging to Nyarlathotep seriously infected Osekus's soul, almost turning him into another Nyarlathotep.

Fortunately, Rolin discovered it quickly and nipped the problem in the bud. In the end, he successfully retrieved Osekus with his very advanced skills—otherwise, Osekus's consciousness would have been completely destroyed.
