Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 390 Roland's Trip Can't Be in Vain
But... Death?
Rolin blinked, feeling the power of the Sequence 0 Death granted to him by the Dice of Pleasure, and suddenly had a strange idea: "Since I am now the Death God, can I help Azik suppress His other half of His soul and suppress the uniqueness of the Death God?"

Rowling felt this had great potential.

As it happened, Rowling was also planning to go to the Spirit Church to talk to Medici about establishing a church, and Azik was also a regular member of the Spirit Church. So Rowling got up without hesitation and decided to go to the Spirit Church to give the two of them a surprise.

When Rowling arrived at the Church of the Spirits, Medici was busy with work.

Although he is not as busy as before, he is not so leisurely as to have nothing to do; there is still work to be done.

"Who?!" Sensing the presence beside him, Medici became alert almost instantly. Then he paused, looking at Rolin not far away with some surprise.

"Hi, Xiao Hong, did you miss me?" Luo Lin greeted him with a smile.

“You…” Medici frowned, looking Rolin up and down, and said uncertainly, “The Grim Reaper?”

The reason he didn't immediately recognize Rowling's aura and instead mistook her for an outsider was because the aura of death emanating from Rowling was so strong that Medici had mistaken her for someone else.

“That’s right, I am now the Grim Reaper!” Roland nodded without hesitation.

“You…” Medici’s expression was strange for a second, but then he felt relieved. Mainly, he remembered the endless stream of abilities from various sequences that Rolin usually displayed. Although the upper limit of the abilities that the other party had shown before was only that of an angel, this was Rolin after all!

Medici pondered for a moment, then looked at Rolin and asked, "You've been promoted?"

“Yes, I’m now Sequence 4.” Roland nodded, not hiding anything, and said with a smile, “This has given me some new gains. For example, the Death God ability I’m using now is the effect of a new ability.”

Hearing this, Medici's expression wasn't surprised, but he couldn't help muttering something under his breath before continuing, "You didn't come here just to show off your new ability to me, did you?"

"Actually, there is a bit of showing off involved," Luo Lin said, blinking without any embarrassment.

Medici choked for a moment, then curled his lip, tidied the documents on his desk, and then gave a cold laugh, saying, "Since you're so bored, why don't you come and help me with my work?"

"No, no, I have important business to attend to!" Luo Lin immediately shook his head, not wasting a single second, and said, "Actually, I also have important business to discuss with you. You know I also have another identity as the Chaos Overlord, and I'm now at Sequence 4, so..."

Rowling paused here, then looked at Medici and said, "I think it's time for me to establish a church."

Medici looked up at him upon hearing this, then realized something, chuckled, and said, "Trying to make me do hard labor again, huh?"

"The capable should do more work, the capable should do more work!" Luo Lin quickly reassured his most capable assistant, saying, "I know this matter is troublesome, but you are the only person I can ask for help. I really don't trust anyone else. Besides, once the Chaos Church is established, you will be the top leader under the Chaos Ruler, and you won't lack faith then!"

"Ha!" Medici sneered, but he didn't intend to refuse. On the one hand, he did need believers, and on the other hand, whether it was because he was working for Rolin or because of their relationship, he really couldn't refuse Rolin's request.

After all, you can't really expect Rowling, who's a hands-off manager, to establish a church on his own, can you?
"I must have been incredibly wicked in my past life to have met you in this one," Medici finally couldn't help but curse, then looked at Rolin with annoyance and asked, "Has the church's doctrine been finalized? Has the holy book been written? What are your thoughts on the basic framework? Have you informed your subordinates about this?"

Rowling gave a somewhat embarrassed smile and said, "No, no, none at all." Medici: ...

He knows it!

For a moment, Medici really wanted to quit.

Rolin seemed to have misinterpreted Medici's speechlessness and quickly spoke up, "Although we don't have any of these yet, I will discuss these matters with you later and arrange for others to assist you in establishing the church, such as two hundred assistants. I certainly won't let you do it all by yourself."

Medici's expression softened somewhat.

Then, as if remembering something else, Luo Lin said, "By the way, Little Red, do you want to obtain the uniqueness of the Red Priest?"

Rolin suddenly remembered something. As far as he knew, the current unique Red Priest, namely 001 "Salinger Blood Flag", should be in the hands of Herabergen, or more accurately, sealed by Herabergen in the "City of Exile" Morola.

The reason for this is that the Red Priestess unfortunately fell into the hands of the Death God Salinger at the end of the Fourth Age. She was forcibly taken in by this madman and thus suffered the pollution of the River of Eternal Darkness.

Ultimately, after Death's defeat and fall, the Red Priest's uniqueness was formed as 001 "Salinger's Blood Flag," which, for some reason, fell into the hands of Herabgen and was sealed away by him.

After all, things contaminated by the source material are already dirty, and ordinary sequence 0 is not a good place to use them.

“I know where it is. Hrabergan contacted me before.” Medici was clearly not unaware of the 001 “Salinger Blood Flag” matter. A shadow fell over his brow, and he clicked his tongue.

For Medici, the Red Priest's uniqueness being corrupted by the River of Eternal Darkness is obviously bad news, meaning that if he cannot remove the Red Priest's corruption, it will be difficult for him to use it to become Sequence 0.

Hearing Medici's words, Rolin raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all. As a standing god, Herabergen was a smart man. It was fine before that they hadn't reached a cooperation agreement, but now that a formal cooperation had been reached, it was perfectly normal for him to contact Medici to inform him of the Red Priest's uniqueness.

"What are your thoughts on this?" Rowling simply followed up with the question.

"What ideas could I possibly have? If I really can't directly accommodate the Red Priest's uniqueness, I might as well just devour the Primal Witch first." Medici said this with great bravado, but his expression was not good.

He mainly thought of the gossip about the Primal Witch that Rowling had once mentioned, and the thought of having to swallow such a madwoman made Medici feel nauseous.

After all, Medici was truly out of place with the other hunter witches' eccentricities; she was a bit too normal.

“Uh…” Rowling’s expression wasn’t much better, after all, he was really worried that Medici would be corrupted by the crazy couple next door.

Moreover, to be fair, given Medici's personality, he is actually not suited to be a calamity of destruction, but rather to be a simple red priest.

As for what will happen to the apocalypse—silly child, before Rowling arrived, this world needed to be destroyed by natural disasters. If it still needs to be destroyed after Rowling arrives, then wasn't Rowling's arrival in vain?
