Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 435 Hopefully it's not God

Pales' clone then teased the young couple a few more times before presenting his congratulatory gift: a Sequence 5 Thief's Path trait and several high-level runes.

Others also presented congratulatory gifts, most of which were not expensive, but they all represented their good wishes.

Rowling, naturally following the trend, also gave the young couple a gift. Afterward, he arranged for the smaller character to rest, while the larger character left with "The Travels of Grossell".

……

"Is this the book you mentioned?"

Medici's gaze fell on the book that Rowling had brought back. He was already used to Rowling always bringing back big things whenever he went out, but after looking at it for a few moments, he said, "It doesn't look special."

“That’s normal. If its special qualities were so easily noticeable, it wouldn’t have ended up in the wrong place.” Rowling smiled and looked at Medici, saying, “Next, I’m going to explore the true secrets of this book. Why don’t you come with me?”

Rowling genuinely hoped to glean something from Grosser's Travels.

For example, the method by which the Imaginary Dragon was resurrected through 008 is actually very similar to the resurrection of the Sun God in Adam and the true Creator. However, the resurrection of the Sun God has a huge flaw, as it directly splits into two halves. Rowling is very curious whether the Imaginary Dragon's resurrection method also has the same flaw.

If the resurrection method of the Imaginary Dragon, apart from the reduction in sequence, does not have the flaw of split will, then it would be of great reference value to Roland.

Medici glanced at Rowling, but didn't refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to see what secrets are hidden here."

Even if Rowling hadn't mentioned it, Medici would have suggested going in with him, partly out of curiosity as he claimed, and partly to protect Rowling.

After all, in its normal state, the other party is just an ordinary angel.

"This book..." The will of the City of Calamity on Medici's shoulder stared at the book for a few seconds, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

Roland glanced at Him, then suddenly said abruptly, "What, you sensed the power of God?"

The Imaginary Dragon also faced the same dilemma of God's resurrection within him, which is why it is not surprising that His resurrection might have some traces of God.

Who knows if the negative personality sealed away by the Imaginary Dragon is actually a negative personality mixed with God's!
“A little, but not quite.” The Will of the City of Calamity did not deny it, nodding. His greatest lesson during this period was “not to be stubborn or sarcastic,” so he naturally appeared obedient in the face of Rolin’s question.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, then smiled, flipped his hand, and the key to enter the world of the book appeared in his palm.

Luo Lin said, "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go in and take a look."

Medici naturally had no objection to this, while the will of the City of Calamity was not worthy of having an opinion.

Thus, the world in the book, which had been visited not long ago, welcomed guests once again.

Unlike the original story where the ancient city was transformed into a frozen wasteland after the events of the book, the world in the book remains exactly as it was when Rowling and his companions left, because Rowling intervened to prevent the death of the King of the North.

And the place where Rolin and Medici landed happened to be the location of the sealed Northern King.

“Little Disaster, can you sense its special nature?” Rowling glanced at the cat on Medici’s shoulder and suddenly asked.

The will of the City of Calamity poked its head out and stared at the King of the North for a few seconds. Suddenly, it jumped onto the other's body, ran around the solidified dragon a few times, and finally stopped on the dragon's head.

The will of the City of Calamity looked at Rolin and asked, "Did you take something?" "Of course!" Rolin didn't deny it. He nodded, walked to the dragon's side, and an ice-blue dragon scale appeared in his hand.

As Rolin held the scales, a white light burst forth with the infusion of Nyarlathotep's power, and the entire world seemed to change in an instant.

The world seemed to vanish for a moment, only to be reassembled in the next second. However, the reassembled world was no longer the icy, snowy landscape it once was; instead, it became a city.

It was a city with a grayish-white foundation, very magnificent, and its size did not seem to be that of a human dwelling, but rather more like a city inhabited by a giant creature such as a dragon.

"Livihed, the City of Miracles".

Medici looked at the city, which wasn't too unfamiliar to him, and raised an eyebrow.

Rolin also surveyed the Dragon City before him, and after staring at it for a while, he commented, "It seems that the Imaginary Dragon has a better aesthetic sense than Adam. This city looks even more awe-inspiring than the Church of the Bone."

Medici glanced at him, but did not refute him. He nodded and said, "This is the only commendable thing about the Imaginary Dragon."

The Will of the City of Calamity listened to the two men commenting on the aesthetics of the two imaginary dragons and was at a loss for words. He could only continue to gaze at the city before him. After a while, he spoke up: "I sense the power of the Chaos Sea. There must be something here that has been corrupted by the Chaos Sea."

Upon hearing this, Rolin glanced at the Will of the City of Calamity. He wasn't surprised by these words. He also looked at the city before him and said with a smile, "That's a second personality that was cut out by the Imaginary Dragon. I hope it doesn't have any of that old idiot God's influence mixed in. I don't really want to see Him."

Upon hearing Rolin's words, the Will of the City of Calamity shuddered its fur but remained silent.

Because He didn't really want to see God, even if it wasn't God's physical form, but just a wisp of the other's will.

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out by going to see!" Medici glanced at them and then strode towards the city in front of him.

They were not wandering aimlessly, but rather following the direction of the pollution they sensed in the Chaos Sea, and soon arrived at a large hall.

“…A hateful power.” Medici narrowed his eyes, instantly noticing the unusual nature of this hall.

That's right, they have arrived at the City Hall. In this hall, everyone's inner thoughts are presented in language, so it is also known as the Hall of Social Death.

Of course, while it's said to be everyone, this is still just the residual power of the Imaginary Dragon. It's still a bit short of being able to read the thoughts of Medici, who now has control of the City of Calamity and can be considered the king of angels among angels.

If Medici had been completely unprepared, his thoughts would likely have been successfully read, but once he became prepared, the Hall of Honesty was clearly defeated.

Luo Lin waited with great interest for his thoughts to be read. He never thought there was anything shameful about his thoughts. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear any sound and immediately showed a disappointed expression.

"That's enough. Don't you know who you are?" Medici glanced at Rolin, his tone as sarcastic as ever.

As for the will of the City of Calamity, as a primordial-level existence, even if it is just an avatar, it is impossible for the residual power of the Imaginary Dragon to read its will. Even if the Imaginary Dragon itself came, it would be in trouble.

"It's boring. It's definitely less fun here once you're at a higher rank." Roland curled his lip, deciding to lure Little K and the others over next time. He then looked towards the depths of the hall, and after walking a while further in that direction, he unsurprisingly saw a door.

It was a bronze gate engraved with countless mysterious runes, seemingly sealing something away. At this moment, the gate was tightly closed, unlike in the original story where it was open.
