Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 245 Death Archon and Uniqueness

The Death Archon didn't respond immediately. He perceived it for a moment before nodding and saying, "I can sense his condition. It's dire... Father may have erased the consciousness of that half of his soul."

When saying this, the Death Archon's expression remained calm. It was obvious that even when facing his own misfortune, he could not show the emotions he should have, because those emotions basically did not exist.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. He simply asked, "Can you feel the uniqueness of the God of Death that is fused with that half of your soul?"

The Death Archon nodded again, hesitated, and said, "Actually, I can barely mobilize its power."

This surprised Luo Lin. He looked at the Archon of Death and then understood.

Compared to Azik, who has now gone through reincarnation and washed away all the influence of the God of Death, the relationship between the Archon of Death and the God of Death a thousand years ago would only be more "intimate". In this case, it is not surprising that he can mobilize the power of uniqueness.

Luo Lin simply asked with interest, "You have been able to call upon that level, are you able to simply issue oracles? Or... a deeper level of application?"

The Archon of Death pondered for a few seconds and said, "There's no problem with basic usage, it's just that I can't unleash its full power. However..." He hesitated, then continued, "However, if I use it too much, my father might come back to life in this era."

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. Azik was originally the resurrection vessel of the God of Death, and the uniqueness of the God of Death must have brought him a backup plan. To be honest, it was just that the God of Death was too greedy and tried to get his hands on the River of Eternal Darkness, otherwise he would have been resurrected long ago.

Luo Lin pondered for two seconds before saying, "You don't need to invoke too much unique power. Just make people believe that you have embraced uniqueness."

Luo Lin then briefly explained the Spirit Cult to the Archon of Death, smiling, "Although the Artificial Death God faction has now completely sided with Azik for various reasons, the majority of the Royal Faction still chooses to support the Pale Queen Shia."

"They don't acknowledge Azik's true return or even his mastery of the Unique. They denounce it as a conspiracy by the artificial Death God faction. Due to the disagreement between the two major factions, most of the other smaller factions are now wavering and are hesitant to take sides easily."

Did everyone in the royal faction really disbelieve Azik's return? Not necessarily. It was just that Shia, after all, possessed a Sequence 1 Death Path trait. Having been in power for years, she had already cultivated a number of trusted aides and had won over the majority of the faction. So, even though many were shaken by Azik's oracle, they still chose to side with Shia for the sake of their own interests.

Luo Lin had anticipated this and was even happy to see it. He just silently wrote down those stubborn and unrepentant non-recyclable garbage on the list.

The reason why Rowling suddenly brought up the matter with the Archon of Death was that he was thinking about whether he could use the Archon of Death to further stir up disputes within the Spirit Cult. It would be best to let those wavering people within the Royal Faction fight with the firm Shia Faction. This would be more interesting.

"What do you want me to do?" The Archon of Death looked at Rowling calmly.

Luo Lin pulled a list from his pocket and handed it to the Archon of Death, saying, "This is a list of all the irredeemable trash in the Spiritual Cult... In other words, a list of those who are beyond redemption, those who have committed grave sins and are unwilling to repent. I hope you can use the power of uniqueness to punish them."

Luo Lin is not a very harsh person. Although he likes good people, he is also willing to give those who have made mistakes but are willing to repent a chance to reform. Otherwise, he would not have become friends with Azik and cooperated with the true creator.

But some people in the Spirit Cult are truly irredeemable garbage. They have done a lot of bad things, and now they have no intention of abiding by the new rules set out in the Azik Oracle. It's no wonder that Rowling uses them as a warning to others.

"Okay." The Death Archon took the list, took a look at it, nodded, then looked at Rowling and asked, "How do you want to punish them?" "The names marked in red should return to the arms of death. That is their best destination. The rest..." Rowling had naturally made plans for this a long time ago, and said slowly.

……

In the southern continent, a mausoleum——

Heitel was saying his daily prayers.

Ever since he obtained the oracle of the artificial god of death, whether out of "loyalty" to His Majesty Azik or to show it to others, Haitel has been praying whenever something happens.

These prayers of His were not entirely in vain, and occasionally they were answered.

However, he didn't know if it was Haitel's illusion, but he always felt that the artificial god of death who responded to him was a little strange, seemed too indifferent, and didn't speak, but sometimes it was the one he was familiar with, the one who issued the oracle.

Could it be that His Highness the Archon of Death is half crazy... Haitel sometimes couldn't help but have such speculation. After all, it was well known that half-crazy people would sometimes be lucid and sometimes crazy.

When Haitel was still a small pawn, he had heard some stories about the Blood Emperor Tudor. It was said that it was spread by a certain duke. It seemed that the Blood Emperor was half crazy because he jumped to an unadjacent path. He was only awake for a few times every day. Most of the time he was either indifferent or cruel, showing his madness.

Although His Highness the Archon of Death did not jump to a non-adjacent path, it is normal for His Highness, who was once only a Sequence 2, to become half-mad due to some inappropriateness when being promoted to Sequence 1 and accommodating the uniqueness of the God of Death.

This is a common situation in the extraordinary field.

Of course, in addition to the speculation that His Highness Azik was half crazy, Haitel actually had another speculation.

He suspected that His Majesty the Hades had actually awakened in His Highness Azik, but the awakening was not complete, so this happened.

Just as Haitel was daydreaming, the door of His mausoleum was knocked this time, and this time the knocker was very urgent.

"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?" Heiter opened the door and let the person in, and asked. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the last time he suddenly received the oracle of the man-made god of death, and his brows jumped.

"Lord Haiter, divine punishment... Our Lord has brought down divine punishment..." The person who came to report the news was very frightened and spoke incoherently.

Haitel was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening. He immediately asked the other party to tell the story. After finding out who had suffered divine punishment, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Why are you panicking? Those people suffered divine punishment because they didn't believe in the existence of God and disregarded His oracles. Naturally, this incurred His wrath. We are different..."

Haitel spoke this, as if to comfort both the other person and himself. He took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm curious now, will Xia continue to deny the existence of God?"
