Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 386 Little Amon Wants to Become Human

"Your second task is to take down the Sea God Cult. You've seen the information on this organization. Although it's not a large organization, it's of great strategic significance. Taking it down and reforming it will be beneficial for the later liberation of the Five Seas."

Lorin continued, "Once you obtain the properties of Kavituwa, I will arrange for someone to craft it into a suitable magical item for you. This will serve as one of your rewards."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke recalled the information he had just seen about the Sea God Cult. It was an indigenous religious sect in the Five Seas with extremely bloody and primitive doctrines. However, its members were quite unusual, mainly composed of resistance fighters from the Five Seas who resisted colonialism. If the Five Seas were to be liberated in the future, taking down the Sea God Cult would indeed be necessary.

Kavituwa is a god worshipped by the Cult of Poseidon. Of course, he is not a true god but a Sequence 3 Poseidon. Moreover, due to his madness, his strength is probably not comparable to that of a true Sequence 3, and his condition has been getting worse recently. Perhaps he is not far from his fall.

“But even in its weakened state, Kavituwa is still Sequence 3…” Little K raised his doubts, pointing to himself, “while I’m only Sequence 6!”

He checked in at Vitória? Really?!

“I didn’t expect you to actually fight it. In fact, according to your original fate, you just needed to pick up the scraps.” Roland chuckled as he said this, then continued:
"Of course, while I believe in the convergence of fate, we must also consider the possibility of unexpected events. So you can contact the Church of Storms when the time comes, and they will arrange for someone to assist you."

This is no lie. Although Rolin has not yet spoken to Storm Pigeon, ever since he pulled the Sun God aside and greeted Leodorus, the Storm Church has actually been turning a blind eye to their various actions. When the Church of the Night sent people to help, the Storm Church also sent some people over.

This is also why Rowling never went to see Leodorus; although the old pigeon was irritable, he was still quite sensible.

"That's good." Little K breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of strong enemies, fighting a Sequence 3 was still too much.

Rowling then explained some other tasks, and finally said, "Besides the Church of Storms, you can contact the forces of Hell General, Temperance General, Star General, Iceberg Lieutenant General, and the Mysterious Queen. They are either our people or allies."

Xiao Ke was somewhat astonished and couldn't help but remark, "It sounds like half of the Five Seas belongs to our people."

"Be confident, the remaining half of the country will be ours sooner or later," Jack said, patting Little K on the shoulder.

Rolin, who approved Lucifer's disguise, smiled and then looked at Little K and said, "You can advance to Sequence 5 first, and then slowly complete these tasks. By the way, you can digest the Puppet Master potion. The Five Seas are more suitable for you to play the role of Puppet Master than this place. I look forward to the day when you advance to Sequence 4."

"I understand." Xiao Ke nodded. He had originally planned to find the mermaid's whereabouts, advance his cultivation, and then return after arriving at the Five Seas, but now that he had many missions, there was no need to rush back.

Moreover, while the border city is nice, it's not conducive to digesting the Master of Puppets' potions.

After giving K a few more instructions, Rowling looked at Sasriel and said, "You can hand over your work now."

Little K also looked at Saslier and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Saslier."

“This is what I should do anyway. You, on the other hand, have had a tough time these past few days.” Sasriel gave Little K a gentle smile and said. “It’s nothing. I’ve been paid well, and it’s an honor to be able to do something for the cause of change.”

Little K shook his head. Although he had been very busy lately, he didn’t feel tired at all. On the one hand, he was happy to do something for the ordinary people in this world. On the other hand, he hadn’t been working for nothing. He had digested the Faceless Man’s potion and prepared for the Miracle Master’s ritual, and he had also received corresponding rewards, such as materials related to the Trickster’s potion.

From this perspective, Xiao Ke was actually a little embarrassed, feeling that he had gotten the better deal.

“What are you embarrassed about? The others aren’t working for free either. For example, Medici’s reward is a Sequence 1 trait and a godhood ritual!” “Jack” obviously saw what Little K was thinking and said with a grin.

To be fair, although Luo Lin made his employees work 007, he was never stingy when it came to compensation. Whether it was rescuing people, providing special benefits, or anything else, he would basically rescue those who deserved it and give them what they were entitled to.

“Jack is right, you don’t need to feel embarrassed about it.” Sasriel said with a smile, and then he discussed work-related matters with Little K. Because Sasriel had helped handle many matters in the border cities during this period, the handover of their work was very smooth.

During the handover between the two, Rowling, who had approved Lucifer's vest, looked at Little Amon and asked, "Are you going to the Five Seas too?"

"Can't I go to the Five Seas, Uncle Lucifer?" Little Amon blinked and asked.

“Of course you can go. You are free to do so. I’m just curious. Little K went to the Five Seas to advance to the Master of Mystic Puppetry, and Jack went for fun. What about you? Why are you going to the Five Seas?” Roland looked at Little Amon and asked with a smile.

Amon, whom he had watched "grow up" in a way, paused for a second after hearing Rolin's question, then showed a serious expression and said, "I just want to go and take a look."

"Little K said the Five Seas is a very complicated place, a melting pot of all sorts of people, so I want to go and see it." Little Amon looked up at Roland and said earnestly:
"During my time here, I've witnessed many beautiful aspects of humanity, and I've come to understand why Uncle Lucifer and the others value humanity so much. But humanity isn't all about good things, is it?"

Little Amon continued, "I know what I exist for, so I want to see the other side of humanity, even if it's something ugly, I still want to see it, so that I can become a complete person."

Little Amon did not have the memories of Amon's original self, but after Amon's original self descended upon him last time, he did understand roughly the meaning of his existence—he existed to become a human being.

So during this time, Little Amon kept observing the various aspects of the border city, observing the beautiful and resilient humanity there, and He did indeed gain a lot from this observation.

But that's not enough. Little Amon knows that human nature is not entirely composed of the good side, so when Little K decides to take leave to go to the Five Seas because of the promotion ceremony, Little Amon also decides to go to the Five Seas with Little K.

Go and witness another side of human nature.
