Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 465 The Fall of the God of War
"Perhaps it's because you are Omibella's child?" Roland met His gaze, making no attempt to hide anything, and smiled as he spoke: "Omibella is a very special being; she must die, so you must die too."

The God of War was speechless at this moment. He really didn't know that his own mother had any special identity, but that didn't stop him from seeing Roland's attitude.

The other party had no ill intentions towards him, but also no goodwill.

He only wanted to kill Him, nothing more.

"Ha! How ridiculous, everything is so ridiculous!" The God of War suddenly laughed, neither insane nor desperate. He only laughed for a while, then suddenly raised the greatsword in his hand and pointed it at the Goddess of Night, saying, "Night, perhaps I will be killed by you today, but I will still not submit to you."

"You are not a warrior, you are just a schemer, a laughable and pathetic schemer. A guy like you will sell anything and betray anything as long as the profit is enough!" the God of War said. "You did the same to the Demon Wolf back then, and you did the same to the Sun God later. So what about now? When will you betray your current master?"

The Goddess of Night was neither angry nor did she argue. She simply looked calmly at the God of War and said, "Aren't you the same? Or have you forgotten why your father died..."

The Giant King fell at the hands of the Sun God, but the God of War, as the Giant King's son, obtained some of His characteristics and even joined the Rose of Redemption.

The reason for this is obvious.

The God of War continued to laugh and said, "Yes, I am the same, my father was the same, we are all the same kind of people, equally pathetic, equally ridiculous."

He seemed to have finally finished laughing, and turned to Rolin, saying, "I don't know what kind of being you are, but let me remind you, few of this woman's superiors and allies have met a good end. Many have died, but she has lived on. This is no simple coincidence."

"Are you trying to sow discord?" Rowling asked with a smile.

“You can think that way.” The God of War did not deny it, because He was indeed trying to sow discord.

"You're becoming rather amusing," Rowling remarked, then suddenly added with interest, "While it's impossible to let you go, is there anything else you wish for?"

"A wish?" The God of War paused. What He was thinking at that moment, no one knew. All the others could see was that after a few seconds of silence, the God of War shook His head and said, "I have no other wish. If possible, let me die like a warrior!"

"I am the God of War, the God of Battle, and I should face destruction in battle."

"...Would a group fight work?" After thinking for a second, Luo Lin asked seriously, "After all, in a one-on-one fight, probably no one here can beat you."

Although warriors are often insulted, no one can deny that when it comes to head-on confrontations, warriors are undoubtedly the top-tier (T0) class.

"...Hahaha, I couldn't be happier." The God of War's gaze swept over everyone, his smile extremely cheerful, and he said, "I'm also very curious about where my limit is, and how many Sequence 0s it will take to kill me."

……

The God of War met his end in a thrilling battle.

Regardless of what kind of person He was in the past—whether glorious, arrogant, or treacherous—at least at this moment, the God of War was genuinely enjoying a battle.

Even if the outcome of this battle is inevitably His destruction.

When Rolin's sword pierced the God of War's chest, destroying his heart and extinguishing all his life force, delivering the final blow, the God of War didn't look at him, nor at anyone else present. He simply stared in a certain direction. "Cough..." Blood spilled from his mouth. The God of War finally looked at Rolin, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and said, "You can go to the Land of Forsaken Gods, can't you?"

"Hmm." Roland nodded, not denying it, but asked, "Do you want to be buried in the Giants' Court?"

"...Thank you." The God of War smiled, a smile of relief. He glanced at Lilith one last time, but said nothing, and simply closed his eyes.

Thus, in the first year of the Republic, the God of War fell.

"Hmm, another part of the Time Memory Potion has been digested. Why..." Roland felt the Time Memory Potion being digested further in his body, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.

Perhaps it's because Lilith's betrayal of the God of War can be considered a historical reenactment to some extent—after all, whether it was the false God Sun God killing Omibella or the God of War betraying the Giant King, there are certain similarities with this scene.

The historical recreation required for potions obviously does not require 100% accuracy.

"To be honest, thinking about it this way, the Giant King's family is really toxic, they're always fighting with their own family..." Rolin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Lilith wasn't the God of War's biological mother, since the Sun God was considered Omibella's father, Lilith could certainly be considered the God of War's mother.

After this digestion, Rolin was basically certain that even if he didn't do anything major, relying solely on the various policies that the Republic had reinstated, his Time Memory Potion would be completely digested in just a few days.

As for the ritual of advancing to the level of a fictional being, Rowling basically relied on Medici's advancement to Sequence 0, since it was not easy to completely erase the traces of a Sequence 0 in a short period of time.

The God of War is, after all, a righteous god, and there are far too many people who believe in Him. Luo Lin can't brainwash them all one by one. Back then, the Six Gods were able to erase the existence of the Sun God mainly because of the long passage of time.

Therefore, rather than erasing the traces of the God of War, Rowling preferred to fabricate Medici's past.

In fact, Luo Lin had already done so long ago. During this period, stories about the Republic's general had spread throughout the streets and alleys, becoming a popular topic of conversation.

Of course, if something unexpected happens to Medici, Ares could be considered as a backup option.

After all, He was indeed killed by Rowling's own hands, which met the requirements of the ritual, and that's why Rowling personally delivered the final blow.

“…Sigh!” Lilith looked at the remains of the God of War and suddenly sighed, her eyes filled with a slightly complicated expression.

"What, you really treat Him like a son?" Roland turned his head to look at Lilith, asking with a curious expression.

“He has been with me for many, many years, from the Second Age until now…” Lilith neither admitted nor denied it. She simply said softly, “Sometimes I can’t tell whether I was moved when He called me Mother.”

Lilith was the false mother of the God of War, but she accompanied him longer than Omibella, the God of War's real mother.

So much time has passed that Lilith sometimes feels a bit confused, wondering whether she is Lilith, the progenitor of the vampires, or Omibella, the harvest goddess of the giants.

He has played this role for so long that he has become one with it.
