Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 141 Azik Wants to Meet the Death Archon

Medici: ...

"Tsk!" Medici wasn't stupid. His previous mistake was purely due to insufficient intelligence. Now that he had more information, he instantly understood. He glanced at Azik and said, "I see! So, you're indeed not suitable for obtaining uniqueness."

Combined with what Mr. Men mentioned before, it was not difficult for Medici to think that all of this was a resurrection trick left by Salinger. It was very likely that once this half of Azik's soul merged with his unique half of the soul, Salinger would be able to be reborn directly through his body.

"That's right." Luo Lin nodded, supporting his chin with one hand. "But I still support the idea of reclaiming the Soul Cult. After all, the Artificial Death God Project concerns the other half of Mr. Azik's soul. If we continue to let the Soul Cult mess around, who knows what accidents will happen!"

"And as the former Archon of Death, it's only natural for Azik to inherit the Spirit Cult. Of course, it all depends on what you think, Azik." Having said that, Rowling looked at Azik.

Azik:......

Azik didn't think about anything. After all, before today, although he knew that his soul was split into two, he had no idea that his soul was originally with the God of Death, or the so-called artificial God of Death of the Spirit Cult.

This made Azik feel absurd. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temple, looked at Luo Lin, and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Jack. It turns out that the artificial death god of the Spirit Cult is me..."

Thinking of what Lucifer had said about the outcome after his two souls merged, Azik's eyes grew more resolute. He then said, "You are right. I really can't continue to let the Spirit Cult go."

Regardless of whether he would eventually merge with his other half's soul, Azik would never allow his other half's soul to fall into the hands of the Spirit Cult and be subjected to arbitrary experiments there.

As Jack said, who knows what kind of accidents will arise if this experiment continues?
"That's the right way to think!" Luo Lin put his hand on Azik's shoulder and said, "Then the plan is finalized. We will first help you, Azik, recapture the Spirit Cult. After the recapture, you can bring the Spirit Cult to join our cause. That way, we can both get what we want. Perfect!"

Azik was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "It should be me who helps you, but now I need you to help me first..."

"Don't be embarrassed, Azik. Although I hope you'll join our cause, that doesn't mean I intend to use your abilities for free. That would be unethical. A win-win situation is the right path. I hope we can all get what we want." Luo Lin didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "As long as you don't run away with the Spirit Cult in the future, that's fine."

What Rowling said was true. He had never intended to rely on pure morality to force Azik to join the cause of reform. The fact that the Sun God was a saint did not mean that everyone in the world was a saint. It was also important to satisfy the interests of those who joined - and even the Sun God could gain other benefits from the reform.

Not to mention that if Azik could recapture the Spirit Cult, it would be a good thing for Rowling.

"I won't do that." Azik said seriously and firmly.

"I believe you." Luo Lin nodded with a smile.

Azik seemed to have thought of something and showed a hesitant expression. Then he became determined, as if he had made up his mind. He said, "Jack, I want to meet your teacher."

Luo Lin blinked, looked at Azik doubtfully, and said, "Meet my teacher? Of course, but what do you want?" Azik lowered his eyes, seemed to sigh, and continued, "I want to meet my past self."

"You in the past?" Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized something and narrowed his eyes. "Are you referring to the Death Archon of the Balam Empire?"

"Yes." Azik nodded.

"Why did you suddenly think of meeting Him?" Luo Lin had a vague guess in his heart.

"I hope to regain more strength." Azik smiled, a smile that was somewhat helpless, yet extremely firm. He glanced at Klein and Rowling and said:
"I'm too weak right now. I need to regain more strength so that... I can protect the people I want to protect and not hold you back. I don't want to be someone who can only wait for your help, nor do I want to..."

When my future significant other's soul devours me, I will be powerless to resist.

If originally Azik only hoped to recover his past memories but had no expectations for his own strength, after experiencing this battle with Augustus's Hand of Order and knowing that the artificial Grim Reaper of the Spirit Cult was actually the other half of his soul, Azik became more eager for strength than ever before.

He is too weak now, so weak that he cannot protect the people he wants to protect in this increasingly chaotic world.

Although Azik was not sure what the situation would be like when his soul was fused, he understood that the weak would only be devoured by the strong. Now he could not even exert the strength of a Sequence Two, while the other half of his soul had already merged with the uniqueness of the Grim Reaper, becoming the so-called artificial Grim Reaper.

In this situation, if he cannot make himself stronger, when the two sides really meet and merge one day in the future, Azik dare not imagine what he will become. Perhaps the one who survives at that time will be the so-called artificial god of death.

Azik also had a sense of pride. He had always considered himself the elder of Klein and Jack, but now Jack was clearly helping him in the opposite direction. Azik wasn't someone who wouldn't accept help from a younger person, but he certainly wasn't someone who would simply wait for help from a younger person. Naturally, he felt the need to become stronger.

Luo Lin could naturally see what Azik was thinking, which made him raise an eyebrow, but he did not refuse. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will write a letter to tell the teacher, and I should get a reply soon."

Originally, Rowling was not planning to help Azik recover his memory quickly, but that was before. Now, Rowling did have other plans.

On the one hand, when summoning Roselle before, Rowling had already confirmed that the Shadow of Time would eliminate the influence of third parties, so the summoned Archon of Death might also eliminate the influence of the God of Death. In this way, Azik's meeting with the Archon of Death might be a good thing.

On the other hand, Rowling thought of his own masker ability. It was known that the masker's ability could even be effective on Adam, so it should also be effective on Azik, who was only a Sequence 2.

"The mask with love attribute should be able to ensure that Azik's divinity will not be fully maxed out instantly, and in this way, I can digest the mask master's potion faster." Rowling muttered in his heart, and he already had a plan for what to do next.
