Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 469 Adam also felt that Sasriel had a hard life.

Amon's true form was clearly not surprised by these words. He then glanced at Sasriel, who was looking haggard and was indeed on the verge of sudden death, and shook his head, saying, "Working for you is really risking your life."

“This is not my fault!” Rowling retorted, displeased. “I also wished that Sasriel could rest, but He insisted on working overtime. What could I do? It wasn’t my whip that drove Him to work, but His sense of responsibility to the world.”

Upon hearing this, Sasriel smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Amon, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The sooner things are done, the sooner the people of this world can be happy. My personal fatigue is nothing."

Amon clicked his tongue upon hearing this. Although he had gradually come to understand what humanity was, the importance of humanity, and even gained some humanity, Amon still could not understand Sasriel's actions of sacrificing himself for others.

A little rest won't cause any problems, right?

"...Excuse me, can someone answer my questions?" The dark angel spirit, who had been silently observing, finally couldn't help but speak up, asking, "What did you mean by what you just said? What tool? And what exactly is Sasriel working for now?"

Upon hearing this, Sasriel first glanced at Rolin, and only after the latter nodded did He look at the Dark Angel Spirit and say with a smile, "This is a very long story..."

Sasriel then briefly recounted how they had initiated reforms during this period, established a new regime, and were now striving to liberate the world.

Finally, Sasriel said, "This is one of the reasons we came to you. The Republic is currently short of manpower, so we all hope to have another capable helper."

“Of course, it would be even better if you could influence the Chaos Sea a little, but it’s okay if you can’t.” Sassiliton paused, then added with a smile.

"...So that's how it is! How wonderful!" The dark angel spirit's eyes lit up, its expression a mix of relief and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both joy and emotion). It then looked at Roland and said:

"If what I say is true, and you have truly liberated the world and the oppressed, then I am happy to contribute to this great cause."

Upon hearing this, Roland's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile and say, "As for whether these things are true, you can see for yourself after you leave the Forsaken Land. I believe what you see will not disappoint you."

Then Rowling looked at Adam and asked, "Is it possible?"

The question here is whether Adam can help the dark angel evil spirit complete its soul and gain a whole personality.

“Okay, it’s a bit troublesome, but not a big problem.” Adam nodded. While helping the Dark Angel suppress its madness and chaos and restore its senses, Adam had already checked its condition and thought of a treatment plan.

Adam then looked at the dark angel and said, "Next, you must fully open your mind to me so that I can truly complete your soul."

“I have no problem with it. In my opinion, we are one person.” The dark angel nodded without hesitation. If it were someone else doing this, He might have refused, but Adam was different.

After all, Adam was also Him!

Adam was not surprised by this. He stepped forward and came to the dark angel spirit.

The dark angel spirit naturally cooperated by lowering its mental defenses, but before Adam's power could invade its mental sea, the dark angel spirit thought of something and spoke:

“You are completely different from what I know. Although I have never met you, in the information I have, you do not have such abundant emotions.” “…Isn’t this good?” Adam looked at Him calmly and asked in return.

“No, this is good, much better than I imagined.” The Dark Angel Spirit smiled and said, “So now I’m very curious about what kind of being the one who changed you all is.”

As He said this, He glanced at Roland out of the corner of His eye, with deep curiosity and inquiry.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Adam said with a smile, his tone meaningful yet tinged with pity.

Even Adam would feel sorry for Sasriel, who was working overtime every day.

To be honest, even the sun god doesn't really want to go to work; otherwise, why would He have pushed all the work onto Sasriel back then?

The dark angel spirit clearly realized this as well, its expression turned strange for a second, and then it closed its eyes.

Adam began to mend his soul.

……

While Adam was mending the soul of the dark angel, Rolin unearthed something from some obscure corner.

"This is the Blasphemous Slab? It looks so ordinary." Roland examined the Blasphemous Slab in front of him, rubbed his chin and commented. Then, as if he had thought of something, he waved to Little K, who was curiously looking over not far away, and said, "Don't peek over there. Come and take a look. Your subsequent potion recipes are all here."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke was a little embarrassed, but he still quickly went over and began to read the contents of the blasphemous stone tablet, paying special attention to the potion recipe of the Diviner's Path.

Rolin had already lost interest in the Profane Tablet. He just thought of something else and said after Little K finished memorizing the potion recipes from the Diviner's Path: "If nothing unexpected happens, Bethel will soon be promoted to Sequence 0."

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he couldn't help but smile with surprise, and said with obvious joy, "Really? That's great."

Little K was genuinely happy that Bethel was able to advance to Sequence 0, after all, Bethel was his teacher and they had a good relationship.

“Once Bethel advances to Sequence 0, it might not be long before He attempts to advance to Lord of Mysteries,” Rolin continued, looking at Little K and saying slowly, “At that time, your Source Castle will no longer belong to you.”

“Strictly speaking, this isn’t my source castle; I’m not its true owner.” Little K shook his head and looked at Rolin, saying:
“Mr. Lucifer, if you ask me if I regret it, I can tell you clearly that I do not regret it. I have no desire to become the Lord of Mysteries. This position and this power should have been given to the most suitable person.”

This is Xiao Ke's honest opinion. Becoming the Lord of Mysteries certainly means possessing supreme power, but it also represents endless responsibility and the near loss of humanity.

Little K doesn't crave power, nor does he reject responsibility, but he is truly afraid of losing his humanity and himself.
