Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 466 Dark Angels and Evil Spirits

“Yet you still decided to kill Him without any mercy.” Roland spoke bluntly, looking at Lilith, and said, “The emotion was real, and so was the desire to kill.”

Lilith didn't deny it. She just twitched the corner of her mouth, her smile tinged with self-mockery, and said, "This is us, this is Sequence 0. The God of War was right. We are such a ridiculous existence. We live with madness, we coexist with madness. In our pursuit of power and survival, we have lost ourselves in many ways."

"Don't speak for Sequence 0 blindly. At least I wouldn't be so cruel to the child I've raised for thousands of years," Roselle suddenly spoke up at this moment, refuting.

Lilith glanced at him, smiled, and said noncommittally, "Perhaps!"

Rosell frowned immediately, wanting to argue with Lilith, since the child was, in a sense, Rosell's Achilles' heel.

Russell may be a bad person in other matters, but when it comes to his children, he can at least be considered a good father.

"Alright, stop arguing." Roland naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the two of them start arguing. He reached out and patted Rosell on the shoulder, saying, "Lilith's in a bad mood, so don't take it to heart."

Rowling then looked at Lilith and asked, "Are you going to officiate at His funeral?"

Lilith was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, what would it mean for me to hold a funeral for Him? It would be too hypocritical."

Luo Lin didn't insist. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this to someone else."

……

Rowling intends to entrust the funeral arrangements for the God of War to Colin Iliad.

After all, Silver City was once part of the Kingdom of Giants, so having Colin Iliad, the chief of Silver City, hold a funeral for the God of War can be seen as a way of bringing things to a proper conclusion.

However, considering the dark angelic evil spirits in the Giants' Court, Rolin did not directly hand the matter over to Colin Iliad, but instead went to Sasriel first.

At that time, Sasriel was working overtime. The Republic already had enough to do, not to mention that war had recently broken out again in order to liberate other countries, so Sasriel had even more to do.

"Uh, Sasriel, have you thought about taking a break?" Looking at Sasriel's haggard expression, who seemed to be flirting with sudden death, even Rolin felt a pang of pity and offered his advice.

"Don't worry, I know my own body. If I were truly on the verge of sudden death, I would go and rest." Sasriel clearly knew what Rolin was worried about. He gave a reassuring smile, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Is the matter with the God of War over?"

His expression was not surprised, after all, the fall of a true god was no small matter, and even if Sasriel was here, he was not completely unaware.

“Yes, I plan to hold a funeral for Him next, as a way of repaying the Church of the God of War for protecting the Fusak people all these years.” Roland did not deny it and nodded. Although he had killed the God of War, he did not deny the God of War’s achievements.

No matter how society is governed, the Church of the God of War, like other orthodox churches, protects ordinary people from all sorts of extraordinary dangers and monsters.

This is also why Rowling was willing to give the God of War a dignified end; He may not have been a good person, but He was not without merit.

“He certainly deserves a funeral.” Sasriel’s expression was somewhat complicated. To Him, the God of War was not an enemy, at least not in the Third Age.

But Sasriel knew that times had changed and understood the special nature of the God of War, so he did not object to Rolin and the others killing the God of War. "Where do you plan to bury him?" Sasriel asked.

"The Giants' Court, that's what He wanted too." Roland didn't hide anything and said directly, "So I plan to resolve the small problem at the Giants' Court."

Sasriel clearly knew the current state of the Giants' Court, and upon hearing this, he said, "The Giants' Court is very important... or rather, the Profaned Tablets lost there are very important. Now, we can only rely on the Profaned Tablets to safely control the Chaos Sea."

Roland glanced at Him and suddenly asked, "Then what do you think of the evil spirit, the dark angel?"

“…He is not me.” After a few seconds of silence, Sasriel shook his head and said, “He is just a remnant of my spirit. The real me has long since merged with the humanity of the Sun God and become the true creator. He is just a remnant of my spirit, corrupted by the Chaos Sea and twisted by God.”

"Since even you say so, it seems there's no hope. Tsk!" Rolin clicked his tongue, slightly disappointed. He really hoped that the Dark Angel Evil Spirit was also Sasriel's. After all, the Republic is really short of people right now. If there were one more Sasriel, it would be double the happiness.

Sasriel could clearly see what Rolin was thinking. He smiled helplessly, then hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Although He is not me, it might not be impossible if you want to use Him as a tool."

"Hmm? Tell me more." Rowling's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked with great interest.

“Although He is only a remnant of His will, He has existed for so many years. Despite being corrupted by the Chaos Sea, He has also gained stability as a result…” Sasriel clearly did not intend to keep anyone in suspense and replied, “If Adam were to take action, perhaps He could be completed and made into a truly complete being.”

“But…” Sasriel’s expression turned serious. “Such a being is born with a close connection to the Chaos Sea. If we cannot suppress it, it may become a big problem.”

“Wow!” Rowling raised an eyebrow. After thinking for a few seconds, he smiled and said, “But conversely, if He is on our side, He will also be a good helper.”

Sasriel did not deny it; rather, He had taken this into consideration, which is why He proposed the solution just now.

An entity closely connected to the Chaos Sea is both a danger and an opportunity.

“…In that case, let’s set off!” Roland suddenly laughed, patted Sasriel on the shoulder, and said, “Whether it’s danger or opportunity, we have to try to find out, right?”

He has never been one to shy away from trying new things.

Adhering to the principle of "do it right away," Rowling quickly found Adam and informed him of the matter.

"So what's your opinion?" Rowling asked Adam with a smile.

Adam looked at him, a thoughtful glint in his golden eyes, and after a moment nodded and said, "It's worth a try, but we need to make sure it's safe."

The security that Adam refers to is naturally the security of being able to suppress the other party even if they go crazy.

Even after gaining human qualities, Adam still preferred to do things with absolute certainty.
