Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 213 Hello, Ms. Lilith
"Okay." Lucifer smiled, knowing in his heart that Mother Earth was expressing her appreciation for him, or perhaps Mother Earth was also eager to talk to him.

It seems that the Goddess of Night does share a lot of information with her allies.

The three of them then followed Bishop Utravsky into the Harvest Church. After arriving at the hall, Bishop Utravsky didn't rush to lead Lucifer to see the Earth Mother. Instead, he turned to Klein and "Jack Jones" and said, "Please wait here for a moment, both of you."

Obviously, Mother Earth intended to talk to Lucifer alone.

"You guys stay here, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Lucifer looked back at the two of them and said.

Klein and Jack exchanged a glance, then obediently found a seat in the hall.

Wearing the Lucifer vest, Rowling followed Bishop Utravsky into the real interior of the Harvest Church and soon arrived at a door.

Bishop Utravsky opened the door for Roland, and saw a potted plant placed in the center of the room.

Bishop Utravsky bowed his head respectfully and saluted in front of the potted plant, muttering words of praise, and then respectfully stepped aside.

When Rowling looked at the potted plant, he knew what was going on - part of the will of the Mother Earth had descended upon the plant, a bit like a divine descent, but without much power.

It seemed that Mother Earth really wanted to talk to him.

Thinking this, Luo Lin walked into the room.

"Click——"

The door closed automatically as he entered. Luo Lin didn't care. He just looked at the potted plant and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Lilith. Would you like me to introduce myself?"

"...You really know many secrets just as Heiye said." After the potted plant was silent for a few seconds, the flower inside suddenly opened and made a soft and feminine voice.

"I'm curious, how did Hei Ye introduce me to you?" Luo Lin asked with a smile, a little curious on his face.

"The Night shared information about you with me. It wasn't much, but at least I knew what kind of being you are." The flower carrying Lilith's will continued, "So I know you can summon the sun god from the distant past. I also know that you helped Bethel, clearing some of the pollution from him, allowing him to regain a moment of clarity."

"Oh? Haha! It seems that you two are really close." Rowling smiled and was not surprised by Lilith's words.

After all, the existence of the Ancient Sun God would not be a secret to Night. He even took the Ancient Sun God to the Storm Church to call Leodero. Judging from Storm Old Dove's style, he would most likely share this information with the Goddess of Night.

As for Bethel's matter, it is no longer a secret. The Goddess of Night has always been paying close attention to him. It would be strange if she didn't notice any changes in him as long as she paid more attention.

"We are naturally close allies," the flower bearing Lilith's will spoke. Though expressionless, it somehow suggested a polite smirk. "Indeed, after all, you two were able to conspire together to backstab the God of War. Poor God of War, he still didn't know his mother had been replaced long ago. Even in the many stories I know, this is a true story..." Rowling paused before uttering a single word.
"A joke from hell."

The flower carrying Lilith's will fell silent again, and after a moment, it spoke: "Let's be frank, Mr. Lucifer. You didn't come to the Harvest Church today just to chat with me about family matters."

"I'm afraid the God of War wouldn't like such homely talk." Luo Lin shook his head, then smiled and said slowly, "Shouldn't it be you, Ms. Lilith, who should be frank?"

Luo Lin's gaze fell on the potted plant. He reached out and lightly pressed a leaf. Then he shook his head and said with a sigh, "What a familiar scent! The last time I felt this was when I was decontaminating Bethel."

"Ms. Lilith, I'm very curious about how much of your will is still your own?" Rowling asked, his expression like a scholar exploring an academic issue.

If you were to ask what is the most obvious difference between the two paths of Earth and Moon and other paths, there is undoubtedly only one thing, and that is the influence from the outer gods.

Although there were more than two of the 22 paths on Earth that once belonged to the Outer Gods, only these two paths belonged to another pillar-level existence. This made it almost easy for the Fallen Mother Goddess to influence the extraordinary people of these two paths, and even caused Lilith, the former ancestor of the blood clan, to choose to die once in the Second Era in order to get rid of the influence.

Lilith once succeeded. Death and the jump from the Moon Path to the Earth Path greatly reduced the influence of the Outer Gods on her. But she failed because the influence was not eradicated. It still affected Lilith like a shadow and became more serious as the end of the world approached.

It's hard to say if this continues, Lilith won't become another Bound God, Torzina.

"...I don't know." The flower carrying Lilith's will did not deny Luo Lin's words. "Now, even I don't know whether my will comes from myself or is influenced by that Outer God."

"So I need your help, Mr. Lucifer." Lilith didn't try to test the waters again. This time, she spoke directly and decisively, "If you can suppress the power of the Outer Gods and remove their contamination, that's exactly what I need."

"I'll pay any price for this, as long as I have it."

No one wants to die, and becoming a puppet of the Outer Gods is only worse than death. Although Lilith has made preparations to blow up the Mother Goddess at the end of the world and has already prepared to die, who doesn't want to live?
Luo Lin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, unsurprised. He simply said, "To be honest, I can indeed remove the contamination from the Outer Gods, but that method may not work on you. I can remove power, not will."

Unlike Mr. Men and others who were simply contaminated by the Outer Gods, Lilith's situation is actually closer to "the Origin has awakened in my body", except that the Origin and the Celestial Lord have both fallen, while the Fallen Mother Goddess, who is the third pillar, is still alive and well.

Although Luo Lin's power can forcibly remove the pollution from the outer gods, it is not very effective against the will that comes with the extraordinary characteristics.

The flower carrying Lilith's will fell silent again, this time for longer than usual.

"...It's enough to clear the power, which at least allows me to hold on longer." Lilith finally spoke again, her tone filled with relief and a hint of loss.

"No, I mean, why not try another method?" Luo Lin said with a smile.
