Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 468 Little Amon: True Form, Dropping Gold Coins
To be fair, the Dark Angel was not particularly powerful; otherwise, Klein wouldn't have been able to defeat it by teaming up with Colin Iliad and others in the original story.

But this doesn't mean that Dark Angels are easy to deal with. In fact, even a normal Sequence 0 wouldn't want to fight Dark Angels.

Because the Dark Angels and evil spirits can mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea to a certain extent, and the Source Essence, apart from those who are the owners of Source Essence themselves and a very few lucky individuals who are perfectly compatible with Source Essence, is poison wrapped in honey for everyone else.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Rolin and the others. After all, among those present, Rolin was not afraid of the Source Essence, Little K possessed the Source Castle, and Sasriel was practically a half-master of the Chaos Sea. With the three of them there, subduing the Dark Angel Evil Spirit was really not a problem.

After the Dark Angel spirit was forcefully suppressed, it was Adam's turn to shine. This super spectator, who had helped Medici maintain his sanity even in his spirit form, stepped forward and skillfully performed a series of actions, which restored the Dark Angel spirit's eyes, which had been filled with chaos and madness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?" The Dark Angel Evil Spirit apologized immediately after regaining consciousness. It can only be said that he is indeed a lingering remnant of Sasriel, and his behavior is obviously very similar to Sasriel's.

Then, the Dark Angel Demon seemed to realize something and looked at Little K with slight hesitation:
"...Source Castle?"

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Little K hesitated for a moment, mainly struggling with how to address the evil spirit in front of him, and finally decided to skip the name and address him as Your Excellency.

The Dark Angel Spirit then turned its gaze to Little Amon next to Little K. Thinking of how well the two had cooperated in the battle just now, and how they clearly had a good relationship, it fell silent.

This world has indeed become something He cannot understand.

—Although it has been sealed in the Giants' Court, as an evil spirit, the Dark Angel is not completely ignorant of the outside world. At least occasionally, it can still know some information. It is because of this that it roughly knows what kind of mess Amon has become since the fall of the Sun God and Sasriel.

The fact that the now-distorted Amon can coexist peacefully with the owner of the Source Castle, instead of tricking the owner into giving up the Source Castle and then eating the owner like a cookie, shows that the outside world has indeed undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Sixth Father, why are you looking at me like that?" Little Amon naturally noticed the Dark Angel's gaze and immediately said with a grin.

"...Sixth Father?" The way Amon addressed him clearly startled the Dark Angel Evil Spirit, who showed a distinct expression of confusion.

“That’s right!” Little Amon nodded matter-of-factly and began counting on his fingers: “First father is the Sun God, second father is Sasriel, third father is the True Creator, fourth father is Adam, fifth father is Medici, so you are the sixth father!”

He spoke with great conviction, yet everyone present fell silent for several seconds.

"Don't you deny the identity of the true creator and Adam?" Rowling glanced at little Amon and asked with some curiosity.

“That’s the original body. Just because the original body doesn’t acknowledge it doesn’t mean I don’t. I’ve already severed ties with the original body!” Little Amon said righteously. “Although I don’t consider them the same person either, both Adam and the true creator have always taken care of Amons. The original body is heartless and doesn’t acknowledge them, but I won’t deny them.”

"I have a very good conscience!"

"Heh!" The real Amon, who had appeared in the corner at some point, suddenly chuckled twice. He raised his hand to push up his monocle on his face and looked at Little Amon with icy eyes: "I should have just taken you back then."

"But who told you not to take it back then! Now you want to take it back? Too late!" Little Amon grinned broadly. After saying this, he hid behind Adam, peeked out half his head, and said earnestly:
"By the way, main body, I'm feeling like Sequence 3 isn't enough anymore. When are you going to give me another gold coin? I'm not greedy, Sequence 2 is fine." He sounded incredibly irritating. Amon Main Body: ...

This is the first time I've realized how annoying I am.

Amon himself gave little Amon a deep look, then looked at Adam, who, though not making any obvious moves, was clearly protecting little Amon, and smiled, saying, "I think it's probably not up to outsiders to interfere in matters between Amon and Adam?"

“But I don’t consider myself an outsider. Amon, I am little Amon’s fourth father, so naturally I have a responsibility to protect him.” Adam also spoke with a smile, gazing at his eldest son before him, his golden eyes carrying a faint smile:
"Of course, if I were also your fourth father, I would naturally treat you all the same."

“You’re quicker to dream.” Amon’s true form gave a straightforward answer, then glanced at little Amon and said, “You’d better always hide behind your wild fathers.”

Little Amon stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and said with a grin, "It's okay, I have plenty of fathers. Strictly speaking, Mr. Lucifer could be considered my stepfather!"

"Ah, do I count too?" Roland looked at Little Amon with a curious expression.

“Of course you count. Without you, there would be no Little Amon. And you’ve been teaching Amon what humanity is. You’re Amon’s teacher, and a teacher is also a kind of father.” Little Amon nodded and said very logically.

“That makes a lot of sense.” Rowling nodded, tentatively acknowledging Little Amon’s algorithm.

"According to your calculations, it seems I'm also your father?" Amon himself pushed up his monocle, looked at little Amon, and said with a smile.

"Of course it counts!" Little Amon nodded matter-of-factly, then looked at Amon and asked, "So, Eighth Father, when are you going to start giving out gold coins?"

Amon's true form: 6
The main body of Amon was obviously too lazy to argue with Little Amon. After all, Little Amon was also himself. Even if he wasn't directly controlled by the puppet, he still had a certain degree of emotional connection with Little Amon.

Some of Amon's behaviors may actually reflect his true thoughts.

Amon then looked at the Dark Angel Evil Spirit and asked with interest, "You intend to save Him? For the sake of the Chaos Sea?"

Before anyone could answer, Amon shook his head and looked at Rolin, saying, "No, given your style, it's definitely not just for the Chaos Sea, or even primarily for the Chaos Sea. I guess it's because you're short of tools again."

Rowling immediately gave a shy smile, something that was quite rare for him.

"There's no other way," said Rowling. "The Republic has too many things to do lately. Sasriel is really on the verge of dying suddenly. I can't let Him become the first angel in history to die suddenly. I have to find someone to share the burden with Him."
