Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 157: Pales chooses to beat Amon

"How noble, gentle and cruel, Mr. Apollo. Only now do I feel that Adam is indeed inhumane." Rowling commented with a smile.

The Ancient Sun God did not refute, but simply lowered his eyes and said, "I must be responsible for this world."

"I know. I rather like you. After all, I'm the beneficiary!" Luo Lin nodded, quite frankly speaking. Then he smiled and said:
"Then let's talk about how to save Silver City. First and foremost, there's currently no place for Silver City to be relocated outside. So, my suggestion is to change the environment around Silver City first. I wonder if Mr. Sun God can do that?"

……

After chatting with the Ancient Sun God, Rowling naturally found Klein and told him that he could contact Silver City.

So half an hour later, in the God-forsaken Land—

Little Sun Derrick was a little dazed.

Just now, Mr. Fool summoned him alone and told him one thing - among the angels following Mr. Fool, there is a prince named Lucifer who is willing to help Silver City. He can restore light to Silver City and the surrounding areas, and help Silver City leave the God-forsaken Land when the time is right. He just needs them to change their beliefs.

This was a dreamlike surprise for Derrick, the Little Sun. It was like a pie falling from the sky, leaving him dizzy. Even after leaving the gray fog and returning to his residence, he still wondered if he had just hallucinated.

"Snapped--"

Derrick slapped himself, and the obvious pain finally made him feel that he was not dreaming. Then he thought of something and stood up.

"I have to find the Chief!" Derrick muttered, and quickly ran out of the room to find the Chief of Silver City.

So on this quiet afternoon, Chief Colin Iliad of Silver City, who was browsing ancient books in the library, trying to find a path to the future for Silver City through clues, received a surprise of his own.

"You're saying that you've been believing in an evil...god lately, and that god is willing to send an angel to help us, and the only price is that we convert to him?"

Colin Iliad summarized what Derrick had just said incoherently. Although he remained calm on the surface, his soul had been gone for a while.

What the hell, does Derrick know what he's talking about?

This was probably Colin Iliad's only thought at the moment.

“Chief, everything I said is true…” Derrick suddenly became anxious and hurriedly explained, even mumbling out everything that had happened since he joined the Tarot Club. This was not because Derrick was violating Mr. Fool’s prohibition. Previously, in the gray fog, Mr. Fool had agreed to let him reveal the Tarot Club to the Chief.

Colin Iliad didn't interrupt him. He listened quietly until the end before saying, "Derrick, what is the name of this Mr. Fool you believe in?"

Derrick answered without hesitation, "A fool who doesn't belong to this era..."

However, before he could finish his honorific name, Colin Iliad interrupted him at the right time. After repeating this several times, even if Derrick was slow to react, he realized that Colin Iliad was preventing him from reciting Mr. Fool's full honorific name.

But why, Mr. Fool was clearly here to save us... Derrick was confused at first, but then he realized that the Chief didn't trust Mr. Fool enough.

He knew this was normal. After all, during his explorations over the years, Silver City had seen many city-states destroyed by evil gods, so it was normal for him to distrust Mr. Fool who suddenly appeared.

However, this did not discourage Derrick. He then said, "Chief, His Majesty Lucifer will visit within seven days. When He arrives, He will bring light to Silver City and select some people to take to the outside world. I think we should prepare in advance."

Colin Iliad pursed his lips upon hearing this. He could naturally tell that this was a notification rather than a negotiation. No matter how he felt about Mr. Fool, Silver City clearly had no right to refuse at this moment.

At this moment, he could only sincerely hope in his heart that everything Derrick said was true, that he was really an angel who came with good intentions, and not... a demon who destroyed the city-state.

……

When Colin Iliad was in a state of confusion because of the news brought by Derrick and didn't know what the future of Silver City would be like, Rowling finally remembered old man Pales, whom he had forgotten for a long time.

So the headquarters of the Church of Night, the Church of Tranquility—

Leonard, who had just finished the Red Gloves training camp, returned to his own small room and was about to rest when he found that there was one more person in the room.

"You are... His Highness Lucifer?"

Leonard became alert almost instinctively, but suddenly relaxed after seeing the people in the room. He asked doubtfully, "Your Highness Lucifer, what do you want from me?"

It's no wonder Leonard wasn't nervous. The fact that Lucifer was a friendly party had been further confirmed after Lucifer successfully requested leave for Klein. This made it difficult for Leonard to be wary of the angel in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Leonard." Luo Lin greeted Leonard with a smile, then said slowly, "I'm here for Pallez Zoroaster. If it's convenient, why don't you come out and meet me?"

The latter sentence was naturally directed at Mr. Pales.

"Old man, I'm here to see you." Leonard immediately whispered to Pales in his mind.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" A shadow condensed beside him. Pales looked at the strange angel in front of him, feeling a little confused.

"I think you haven't forgotten that you promised to hunt Amon." Luo Lin said with a smile.

"Of course I haven't forgotten about this. Did something unexpected happen?" Pales' heart moved, but he still had a smile on his face.

"You just have one more choice." Luo Lin smiled and glanced at Him, then said slowly, "In a few days, I will go to the God-Forsaken Land with the Sun God. So now you have two choices. The first is to maintain the status quo. We will locate Amon's clone for you and assist you in hunting it."

"What about the second option?" Pales felt his heart pounding, even though he might no longer have that position.

"The second option is very simple. You come with us to the God-forsaken Land. We will beat up Amon's real body under the witness of the Sun God. But relatively speaking, we can't really kill Amon. Maybe you can still only devour some of his clones." Luo Lin said with a smile.

He had no intention of killing Amon. On the one hand, Luo Lin and Amon did not have such a deep hatred. On the other hand, Luo Lin had to give face to the Creator camp. It would be much more fun to keep Amon alive than to kill him directly.

And actually, Rowling had no way to kill Amon. After all, his biological father was right next to him. He could just give him a beating. How could he really kill the child? It was impossible to even cut the Sequence 1 characteristics.

As for how to get to the God-forsaken Land - with the Sun God here, this is the least of your worries.

"So what's your choice?" Rowling looked at Pales and heard him answer without hesitation:
"I choose the second one."

Are you kidding? Who would miss the chance to beat up Amon himself?

Even if it means losing money to the Worm of Time, Pales will do it.
