Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 196 Are You the Lord of Mysteries?
The Lord mentioned by Ouroboros naturally refers to the true Creator.

"Ha!" Amon sneered, looking as if he was too lazy to talk to Ouroboros.

Ouroboros continued to frown, but something suddenly occurred to him. He asked, "If you don't acknowledge the Lord, why do you stay in this God-forsaken land?"

"Do I need your permission to stay anywhere I want?" Amon glanced at Ouroboros.

"The Lord has always protected you." Ouroboros looked at Amon and said seriously.

"I didn't ask Him...hiss!" Before Amon could finish his words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down and hit Amon on the head.

Not only that, another bolt of lightning struck down immediately afterwards. This time Amon's reaction was faster, and his figure flashed and appeared in another location, but the lightning did not let him go. One after another, it struck Amon, and no matter how Amon dodged, it kept chasing and striking him.

Apparently, an old father who had been peeking at the screen couldn't stand his naughty child anymore.

“这件事告诉我们，不要既要又要，既要庇护又不认爹，这不是等着挨揍嘛！再疼孩子的爹也是有脾气的。”看完戏的罗林在这一刻，终于开口。

Ouroboros looked thoughtful when he heard this and said, "So I can't have the Lord as both the Lord and the Father?"

Luo Lin blinked and did not continue to add fuel to the fire. Instead, he said sincerely: "It depends on what the Sun God thinks."

The purpose of adding fuel to the fire was to hurt Amon's heart. After all, it would be a waste if you don't hurt him.

“Oh…” Ouroboros responded with a thoughtful expression, and finally said: “If it is not possible for the Lord to be both the Lord and the father, then I want the Lord to continue to be the Lord.”

Luo Lin was not surprised by this answer. He just glanced at Amon, whose expression seemed to have eased a little but also seemed even more unhappy. He did not continue to talk about this topic. He just smiled and said, "Ouroboros, I'm sleepy and ready to take a nap. I'll leave your responsibility for the journey and safety while I sleep. Well, you should know where our destination is, right?"

He specifically notified the angel of fate Ouroboros to come over not to hurt Amon's heart, but to ensure his safety during sleep and to be able to continue on his journey.

After all, it is a bit of a luxury to let the Sun God spend his precious summoning time on the road. These preliminary work can be completed with the help of others.

For example, Ouroboros, the angel of destiny, who is extremely familiar with the God-forsaken Land.

"I know. I will protect you and travel well." Ouroboros nodded and said seriously.

So Rowling handed the medium of the alien space to Ouroboros, and went to sleep in the nearby alien space. He also closed the "door" of the alien space to prevent Amon from running in and causing trouble while he was sleeping.

When Luo Lin finished his sleep and opened his eyes again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Good afternoon, Ouroboros!" Luo Lin left the alien space and greeted Ouroboros, and found that they seemed to have arrived near the sealing wall of the Western Continent.

Not far away was a solidified gray-white fog. The fog was boundless, like a huge wall dividing the world into two. It was impossible to imagine what the scene was like on the other side of the fog.

"Tsk, he wanted to seal the Western Continent and force others to support the Lord of Mysteries to appear in order to achieve resurrection, but in the end... How could it not be that Tianzun deserves it, hahaha..." Thinking of a dead ghost who had ruined himself in every sense, Luo Lin couldn't help but smile with glee, then raised his hand and pulled in the air, and a familiar figure appeared.

The ancient sun god opened his eyes again in the future. His gaze first swept over the familiar three people: Luo Lin, Ouroboros, and Amon, and then fell on the gray mist a few hundred meters away.

The gray-white fog has no substance, but it is a real barrier. Before it is lifted by the Lord of Mysteries, it will prevent everyone from entering or leaving the Western Continent. Even the ancient Sun God, who is half a god, is helpless against it.

The Ancient Sun God stared at the "wall" of gray mist and said after a few seconds, "Compared to my time, the power of the seal has weakened a lot."

"Maybe it's because Tianzun is finally dying? Although this is a false proposition in itself." Luo Lin smiled, and then he walked towards the "wall" made of gray mist. When the distance was close enough, Luo Lin raised his hand and pressed it on the "wall".

The gray-white mist that had been extremely calm just now began to boil at this moment, and the entire "wall" began to tremble violently, as if it would break in the next moment, revealing the Western Continent inside.

Even the Sun God was stunned after seeing this scene, and felt a little nervous in his heart.

Can Luo Lin open the seal of the Western Continent?
"...Not yet." Rowling frowned and retracted his hand after a few seconds. He just suddenly thought that the Lord of Mysteries himself was suspected to have a certain connection with the existence of Nyarlathotep, so he wondered if he, as a little Naa, could rely on the power of Naa's fragments to deceive the seal. It turned out that he could deceive it, but the power of the fragments he could mobilize was not enough to open it.

"Maybe I can give it another try after I'm promoted to an angel." Rowling estimated the lack of power and came to a conclusion.

"But... since Naia's power is indeed similar to the mystery to some extent, why didn't Sefirah Castle react?" Luo Lin thought of the first time he went to Sefirah Castle, when there was nothing unusual about it. He also thought of the Naia fragments that were extremely quiet at that time, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment.

"Could it be that the reaction has actually occurred, but I just didn't notice it?" Luo Lin pondered in his heart, but still couldn't figure out where the reaction was. However, he didn't care much about this matter, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

The ancient sun god naturally didn't know what Luo Lin was thinking. He just looked at the seal that had not been opened and felt a little lost for a moment.

Amon pushed the monocle on his face, a thought flashing in his eyes.

Ouroboros watched the gray mist regain its calm, then looked at Luo Lin and suddenly asked, "Luo Lin, are you the Lord of Mysteries?"

After these words were spoken, the scene was silent for a few seconds.

The ancient sun god looked at Ouroboros helplessly. He knew that given Ouroboros's personality, he probably asked this question out of curiosity.

But the key to the problem is that some questions are not suitable to be asked too directly. Regarding the identity of Luo Lin, whether it is the ancient sun god or the real creator, or perhaps other magical beings who know Luo Lin, there are probably certain speculations - a special outer god, an existence similar to Tianzun, God, or even a real time traveler.

They guessed many possibilities, but no one really asked directly. Everyone tacitly chose not to explore Rowling's origins.

After all, no one can be sure what will happen if this window paper is broken. It may be that nothing happens, or it may... lead to an accident.
