Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 396 Little Red's Attitude Towards the Goddess of the Night
Azik is in very good shape right now.

On the one hand, he finally regained most of his lost memories and no longer needed to search for the past in confusion as before, or to find an answer to "Who am I".

On the other hand, although the recovery of his memories brought Azik some minor troubles, thanks to his frequent meetings with the children, Lucifer's Persona, the anchors provided by Kelvin and others, and the approval of the Death Archon himself, Azik was not defeated by the past and maintained himself.

Even after taking down the Cult of Souls with Lucifer's help and fighting for the cause of change, the last gap in Azik's heart, the part he couldn't let go of because of the sins he had committed, was filled by him.

It can be said that Azik is living a very fulfilling life now, despite his busy schedule.

So when faced with Rolin's question, Azik was somewhat surprised, but still described his condition in an orderly manner, and finally said: "...My condition is fine. If you, Lucifer, can really suppress my other half of my soul, I am more than 50% confident that I can successfully merge with Him."

This wasn't Azik being stubborn; it was a conclusion he reached based on his own state and his interactions with his other half during this time.

Thinking of this, Azik seemed to remember something else and added, "Actually, the success rate might be even higher. Your theory is correct. My other half of my soul has indeed been influenced by faith during this time, becoming more... well, how should I describe it? It's more like it's become more gentle?"

The reason why Rowling wanted to change the doctrine of Death was not only to reform the Spirit Cult, but also to test whether the believers' change in their view of God would affect the state of the artificial Death that contained uniqueness.

As it turned out, Rowling's idea was correct. As someone who was half involved, Azik could clearly feel the changes in the artificial Grim Reaper during this period. Although the other party still had little rationality and only instinct, its attitude had indeed become more gentle compared to its previous cold appearance. To put it in perspective, it was like a lion that would bite people at the drop of a hat, turning into a big cat that you could touch its paws.

Although the big cat is still fierce and might suddenly swat you with its claws, things have definitely changed.

"That's good." Roland raised an eyebrow, not surprised by Azik's words. He then looked at the other man and asked, "So, do you want to fuse with your other half of your soul today? Or wait a while?"

Rowling wasn't in a rush to have Azik merge with his other half of his soul right now, mainly because today was indeed a good time—after all, Rowling couldn't guarantee when he would be reincarnated as "Death" again—but if Azik wasn't in a hurry, Rowling wouldn't mind waiting until next time.

Azik didn't answer immediately. He thought for a few seconds, then nodded firmly but gently, and said, "I think I can do it, and the New Year is coming soon. I want to become stronger before then."

“Alright!” Rolin met his gaze and, sensing Azik’s determination, nodded in agreement. He didn’t try to persuade him further, but simply smiled and said, “Then I’ll inform the Goddess of the Night. She has some clever tricks for dealing with Salinger that should be useful in the upcoming fusion.”

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Although Rowling is now a Grim Reaper, he only possesses the relevant abilities. In dealing with Azik's scumbag father, he certainly can't compare to the Goddess of Night, Salinger's old nemesis.

"Thank you for your trouble." Although Azik was a little embarrassed, he didn't try to be brave. After all, although he wasn't very clear about what his father had done to him, he knew very well how scummy his father was. Given this, it was better to play it safe.

Otherwise, his death wouldn't be a big deal, but if Death were to truly be resurrected, it would be a huge problem for Lucifer and the others. Roland was always decisive in his actions, so a short while later, the avatar of the Goddess of Night appeared in the study, causing a variety of expressions to change among those present.

The most composed of them, besides Rolin, was Medici. He glanced at the Goddess of the Night, with whom he had dealt with many before, and said, whether sarcastically or teasingly, "When did you start doing charity, Night?"

"It's just a transaction. I thought Lucifer had told you about this." The Goddess of Night glanced at Medici, not angry, but just smiling.

“…Heh, that’s just like you.” Medici chuckled suddenly, his tone slightly amusement, and continued, “Of course he told me about this, so I’d like to give you some advice: stop playing these little tricks. There are some things he doesn’t care about, he doesn’t care what tricks you play, but there are some things he does care about. If you actually do something, it doesn’t matter if you die, but if you drag the world down with you, heh!”

"...It seems you've misunderstood me." The Goddess of Night seemed somewhat helpless.

Medici pursed his lips. He didn't actually dislike the Goddess of Night, but Medici knew all too well how cunning and calculating she was.

This goddess, who achieved the "Demonic Wolf Family Bucket" in the Second Age, became the leader of the Redeeming Roses in the Third Age, and was the final winner of the Four Emperors War in the Fourth Age, is like a bottomless pool of water. You never know how much scheming is hidden under her gentle mask; you only know that she has almost defeated everyone.

Over the years, many people have died, many people have lost, but only the Goddess of Night has won all the way to the present.

Medici knew very well that even Adam was very wary of the Goddess of Night, and now the Goddess of Night might have chosen to bow down because of Rolin's magic, but who knew if she might be plotting something behind the scenes, especially something that concerned the uniqueness of the God of Death.

Medici could understand the concerns of the Goddess of Night, but that didn't mean he would like to see her scheme against Rolin.

As long as the little monster He serves doesn't go mad, He will serve His master. Until the monster destroys the world, Medici will be the monster's most loyal guardian.

Not to mention the goddess of night, even if the sun god suddenly went mad and tried to attack Rolin, Medici would stop him.

This is the Red Angel; He does not easily submit to anyone, but once He makes a choice, He will not rest until death.

The Goddess of the Night naturally understood Medici's attitude, which made her show a rare expression of surprise. Then she looked at Rolin, who was watching the show from the sidelines, and said with a sigh, "You have a good subordinate."

"Of course, Xiao Hong is my most trusted and trusted confidante, my most beloved one." Luo Lin said without any embarrassment, and even a little proudly.
