Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 485 Lord of Mysteries Finals

Luo Lin smiled slightly as he looked at the reply on the bamboo slip, and continued writing:
"Then get ready. I will let you know when the time is right. It won't be long, maybe within a few years."

After writing this sentence, Luo Lin closed the bamboo scroll, stretched, and looked up at the sky.

It was daytime, and all Luo Lin could see was blue sky, white clouds, and a blazing sun; he couldn't see anything else.

"I've almost finished digesting the Fictional Potion after I resurrected the Sun God. Now all I need are the auxiliary materials..." Rolin muttered to himself, beginning to ponder whether he should try to obtain the hatred of the Mother Tree and the Mother God for him.

But since both of them are in the starry sky, Rolin isn't afraid of encountering one of them alone. What he's afraid of is being besieged by the Outer Gods after going to the starry sky.

Just then, Rowling's phone rang. It was a gadget that Russell had made, and Rowling carried one with him for easy communication.

Luo Lin took out his phone and saw that the caller ID showed that it was Little Amon.

"Why is that brat making phone calls for no reason?" Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, answered the phone, and heard Little Amon say on the other end:
“Jack, come quickly to the Abraham family’s side. My true form is about to challenge Bethel and is about to get beaten up.”

Rowling's eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, he immediately had Lucifer's larger form use its travel ability to bring both forms to Abraham's camp, where they indeed saw Amon's true form.

Not only was Amon there, but Antigonus was also there.

However, unlike what I imagined, Amon was getting beaten up. In reality, the three of them were playing cards, and they even brought along a guy named Xiao Ke who was also playing cards and had somehow appeared there.

"What exactly happened?" Rowling, disguised as Jack, ran up to Little Amon and asked.

"It's like this, this morning my true form went crazy for some reason and suddenly decided to fight Bethel. Not only that, He also dragged Antigonus into it..." Little Amon explained in a low voice, his tone tinged with disappointment at the end:

"I originally thought He was coming to get beaten up, but unexpectedly, His true form suddenly said that everyone is a friend and that fighting is not good. Finally, He pulled out a deck of cards and said that the winner would be the Lord of Mysteries."

"Bethel agreed?" Rowling raised an eyebrow, offering no comment on the absurd situation, but instead asked.

“Originally, He didn’t agree, but the original said that if Bethel didn’t agree, He would hang Him at Abraham’s doorstep,” Little Amon said, shrugging.

"Huh?" Luo Lin was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a second and said seriously, "Isn't this a good thing?"

“I think so too, but the original body also said that it wasn’t just about hanging themselves at Abraham’s doorstep, but also about hiring dozens or even hundreds of writers to compile their story into a beautiful love story that would be sung for all time…” Little Amon sighed at this point and said, “Then Bethel agreed, probably because he felt he couldn’t bear the shame of it.”

Rowling: ...

6!

Maybe this is what they mean by "shameless people are invincible"!
Bethel's downfall was that he was too concerned about saving face.

As Luo Lin remarked this, Hao, disguised as Lucifer, went over to watch the game. After watching for a while, he realized that this was indeed a game of four players playing against each other, and it was incredibly exciting.

Whether it was Amon's theft or Antigonus's grafting, both were executed with consummate skill, along with various other underhanded tactics. As for Mr. Gate, the only Sequence 0 present who had already begun to incorporate the Source Castle and could be considered a true god among true gods, he calmly suppressed his two colleagues one against two, and even had the spare capacity to help Little K, who was only Sequence 4.

"I heard the final battle for the Lord of Mysteries is about to begin. I didn't miss it, did I?" Roselle walked out of the spirit world, looking like he was enjoying the show, clearly afraid of missing out on some great entertainment.

The god of steam and machinery followed Roselle closely, clearly having set off together.

"Look, they're playing!" Rowling glanced at Russell, pointed to the intense opening game, and said.

"Huh, playing cards?" Rosell was dumbfounded. He then looked at Little Amon and asked, "Wait, buddy, didn't you say the battle for the Lord of Mysteries had started? Why are we playing cards?"

“Yes, it’s started!” Little Amon nodded and said matter-of-factly, “They are now fighting for the position of Lord of Mysteries. Whoever wins this round will become the Lord of Mysteries.”

"Huh?" A question mark slowly appeared above Roselle's head. He said incredulously, "Isn't this a bit too frivolous?"

"Actually, no. After all, the candidates have already been decided. Even if everyone were to fight a real battle, facing Bethel from Youyuan Fortress would just be a matter of getting beaten up once or twice." Roland, however, held a different opinion and said, "Thinking about it this way, using cards to resolve the issue is not a bad idea."

Russell thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

If the position of Lord of Mysteries wasn't predetermined, everyone would definitely fight to the death. But now it's clear that Lucifer supports Bethel as Lord of Mysteries. If not Bethel, then it's Zhou. Amon and Antigonus have never had a chance. So instead of going up there and getting beaten up, it's better for everyone to get together and play cards, and resolve this peacefully.

That way, at least Amon won't get beaten up as much.

"Tsk, alright, but it'll be a bit less exciting to watch." Rosell clicked his tongue, shook his head, and then joined the card table with interest to watch the top players from the three card families battle it out.

Roselle's arrival was just the beginning. In the end, many people familiar to Rowling came to Abraham's camp. Some of them came in disguise, such as the goddess of night, while others came in their true forms, such as the sun god.

It's clear that everyone is very interested in the battle for the Lord of Mysteries.

After discovering that the battle had turned into a card game, although some people were disappointed, most people still chose to stay and watch the game.

From a technical standpoint, Bethel and his teammates all possessed astonishing card skills, making their games highly entertaining to watch.

By the time the game was nearing its end, the small Abraham encampment had gathered almost all of the world's high-end combat forces.

“I have won.” Bethel put down his cards and announced the result. He looked at Amon, then at Antigonus, and said with a polite yet authoritative smile, “Or do you wish to continue?”

Amon also put down his cards. He seemed to sigh, then suddenly laughed and said, "Well, you won. A great victory."

After a pause, Amon said, "So, considering our colleague relationship, could you leave me a copy of the Sequence One trait?"
