Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 467 You Should Trust Bethel
“If anything unexpected happens, I will summon the Sun God.” Rolin said decisively. “After all, the evil spirit Dark Angel is not God. Even if He can mobilize some of the power of the Chaos Sea, He cannot be stronger than the Sun God. If all else fails, I can let God solve this problem himself. God is a smart man; He knows what to do.”

“Then I’m all set.” Adam nodded, paused, and added, “It would be best to bring Little K along; having Source Castle around can prevent some unexpected situations.”

"That's what I was thinking too, so I've already notified them." Roland said with a smile. How could he not involve Little K in something like this?

Adam was clearly not surprised by this, but then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Now that Roselle has been successfully resurrected, it means you have a perfect solution to the Outer God's corruption. So when do you plan to make Bethel a god?"

Bethel had already completed the ritual to become a god and could become Sequence 0 at any time, but he had been suppressing himself for various reasons.

The reason was once the Celestial Venerable, but later it was due to the contamination by external gods.

"It'll be soon. I've improved the treatment plan several times, and the side effects of the surgery have been reduced to a minimum. I'll perform the surgery on Him in a few days, and then He can advance." Roland didn't hide anything, saying, "As for His advancement to the Lord of Mysteries..."

Lorin paused for a moment before continuing, "It's very troublesome. My power is too similar to the essence of the Lord of Mysteries. If I really have to do something, it's easy for problems to arise."

Just as Heraborg, the god of wisdom and knowledge, almost fell into a bubble formed by the power of bubbles with just one glance, beings similar to Nyarlathotep, such as the Lord of Mysteries, or even beings who share similarities with Nyarlathotep in mysticism, are also likely to have strange reactions with Nyarlathotep's power.

Don't think this is a good thing. Just as if God goes mad, it will affect all the high-sequence members of the five families. If the Lord of Mysteries is driven mad by Rolin, it will also be a troublesome matter.

Adam was not surprised by this either. He simply looked at Rowling and suddenly said, "Perhaps you should believe in Him."

Luo Lin was taken aback.

Adam continued, “Since you believe in Bethel’s humanity, then you should believe in Him. He will defeat the Lord of Mysteries, even without your help.”

Rowling was silent for a long time before he laughed and said, "You're right, I should indeed believe in Him."

“But worries are still inevitable…” Rowling sighed again.

"Is this a case of being too concerned to think clearly?" Adam asked.

“Perhaps?” Rowling smiled, thinking of Bethel who had been hesitant to speak lately, and said thoughtfully, “Perhaps this is what He hopes for.”

With everyone around him becoming gods and the end of the world drawing ever closer, can Bethel really be completely unconcerned?

They're probably in a hurry.

However, given Bethel's personality, he wouldn't express this point as bluntly as Roselle unless absolutely necessary.

“It seems I need to have a word with Him,” Roland murmured, then put the matter aside for the moment and looked at Adam, saying, “But before that, let’s deal with the Dark Angel evil spirit first!”

……

Since this world fell to Rolin, the Forsaken Lands have undoubtedly become even more lively.

But no matter how bustling it was, it was only a small area; the Giants' Court, far from any human habitation, remained as quiet as a dead land. However, today, the tranquility of the Giants' Court was broken when a group of uninvited guests arrived at this long-abandoned ruin.

"...This is the Giants' Royal Court?" Little K followed behind a group of big shots, looking up at the palace in front of him, which was clearly the residence of giants in terms of size, with a curious expression.

He had heard of this place before, but this was the first time he had seen it in person.

“The royal court is really gone…” Next to Little K was the giant Grosser, who had also been brought here by Rolin this time.

After all, Rowling had promised to help him get home.

Looking at the ruins of the Giants' Court, Grosser was naturally very sad. Even though he had already learned of this fact from others, when he saw the scene before his eyes, the tall giant still couldn't help but kneel down and burst into tears.

Colin Iliad, who was also brought along to help with the funeral of the God of War, looked up at the palace before him with a very complicated expression.

This palace, which is only recorded in the ancient books of Silver City, is a very special existence for the people of Silver City who once worshipped the Giant King.

Rolin gazed at the palace with pure admiration, mentally giving the Giant King a score for his aesthetic sense. Then he looked in a certain direction, towards the heart of the Giant King's court, the place where the Dark Angels and evil spirits resided.

“Colin, you and Groselle stay here. Little K, Jack, and Little Amon, the three of you can come along. You, True Creator, will take care of them.” After arranging for the little ones, Rowling glanced at Adam and said, “Let’s go!”

The others naturally had no objections to this arrangement. Soon, Colin Iliad stayed behind to take care of the emotionally distraught Grosser, while the three little ones mingled behind Rowling and the others, following Rowling to the place where the dark angel evil spirit was sealed.

They naturally encountered some dangers along the way, but for a team that had both an angel king and a true god, there were naturally no problems.

"...You're still alive?" A slightly doubtful voice sounded, and the figure of the dark angel emerged from the shadows, its gaze falling on Sasriel, its expression showing obvious confusion.

He then looked at the true Creator, his expression appearing even more confused.

"Let's just say you're alive!" Sasriel didn't explain anything. He looked at the evil spirit before him, whose appearance was exactly the same as his own, and said gently, "You can also live."

The dark angel spirit paused for a moment, then said, "But I am merely a lingering obsession of yours, an evil spirit destined to perish."

“We can help you become whole, help you truly become a person,” Sasriel continued, for his identity naturally made him the main force in this negotiation with the dark angels and evil spirits.

"Help me?" The dark angel spirit was clearly surprised. Then, as if realizing something, it looked at Adam, seemed to understand, and then looked at Sasriel, saying:
"Perhaps you can indeed help me become whole, but if you want to use me to control the Chaos Sea, then you may be disappointed."

“You’re unwilling?” Sasriel’s expression remained gentle.

“I have no reason not to help you. As your lingering regret and obsession, it is only natural for me to help you.” The Dark Angel Spirit shook his head and said, “But you may have overlooked one point. I am not myself. Apart from your obsession, this body is mostly filled with madness and chaos, and I cannot suppress them.”

As soon as the dark angel finished speaking, its eyes lost their clarity, and the part of it that was insane took over.
