Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 261 The Pale Queen is in Trouble

But Xia had no choice. He couldn't kill all those wavering people at this critical juncture. If he really did that, he would be cutting himself off from the Spiritual Cult.

Killing people to establish authority may be effective under normal circumstances, but that's because everyone has no choice. Now that there is a returning "God of Death", if Xia really does this, it will only push more people to the opposite side.

And Xia actually had concerns - he had to leave a way out for himself. If he really killed too many people, he would be seeking death.

Whoever the returning "God of Death" is, he certainly would not want his prepared believers to be slaughtered.

"So who is it..." Xia's expression darkened. She had been investigating the identity of the "God of Death" for some time. After much investigation, Xia had actually locked onto a certain existence.

"Could it really be you? Your Highness Azik..."

Xia's expression became even more gloomy, because he knew one thing very well. If the "God of Death" was really Azik, and the other party had integrated the uniqueness of the God of Death, then his chances of winning would be too low.

This was not only due to his strength, but also due to his bloodline—Azik was the most legitimate descendant of the God of Death, the Son of God who had ruled on behalf of the God of Death during the Balam Empire. Even now, Azik was still an existence that all members of the Spirit Cult must know.

In a sense, Azik has become a symbol of the Balam Empire. When talking about the Balam Empire, besides the most supreme ruler, the God of Death, the second person that everyone thinks of is the Archon of Death.

To put it bluntly, when the God of Death fell and the Balam Empire collapsed, the Archon of Death disappeared unexpectedly, otherwise there would be no such thing as Himshia.

Even if the Death Archon had ruled the Spirit Cult from the beginning, then the so-called Royal Faction and the Artificial Death Faction would probably not exist at all.

In other words, factions will still exist, but only under the rule of the Archon of Death. The Spirit Cult will not be like it is now, without a leader who can completely command the support of the people, seemingly one entity but actually having two heads.

"But you've been missing for so many years after all. It's a good thing you've been missing for so many years..." Xia murmured. He took a deep breath and regained some confidence.

No matter what happened to the Archon of Death back then, he has been missing for many years, and Xia has not been idle all these years.

Thinking of this, Xia poured herself a cup of tea and prepared to drink some water.

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on his door. Xiaya had a bad feeling in her heart. She opened the door and looked at the person outside. Before she could speak, she heard the other person say:
"Oh no, Lady Shia, the Artificial Death God faction is rebelling!"

Shia: ...

"Click——"

At this moment, with a snap, the cup in Xia's hand was crushed to pieces.

"What are you talking about?" Xia looked at the person knocking on the door and said word by word.

"Lady Xia, just now the man-made Grim Reaper suddenly attacked our people..." The door opener blinked and began to describe it vividly.

"Haitel, what on earth does he want to do..." Xia was confused at this moment. His eyes fell on the person who opened the door. He was about to ask the other party to go with him to check the situation, but suddenly he was stunned.

Because Xia couldn't remember who the person in front of her was.

He had never seen this person before!
Xia's heart tightened, but she didn't question it immediately. Instead, she calmly mobilized her strength.

"Alas, I can't hide it after all..."

Just when Xia was about to take down the other party in one fell swoop, he saw the other party shook his head, and then his figure disappeared.

Xia suddenly realized that what had just appeared before her eyes was an illusion. Suddenly, Xia looked up in a certain direction and saw a man with black hair and golden eyes.

"Hello, Ms. Shia."

The man smiled at Him and continued, "Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Lucifer, a person who enjoys watching plays."

"...Are you from the Church of Evernight?" Xia quickly searched for the name, quickly locked onto the target, and asked.

"Ha!" Luo Lin laughed after hearing this, then shook his head and said slowly, "Ms. Xia, you probably misunderstood. I'm not from the Church of Evernight. If you really want to know about my organization, then I belong to a club."

"The Fun Club."

Xia chewed on this unfamiliar name and was suddenly stunned for a moment, because he realized that something was wrong with himself.

Xia touched her head and found that a pair of rabbit ears had appeared on it without her knowing.

"Divine evil!" Xia immediately understood what was happening to her. At this moment, a chilling feeling invaded her. It was the power of the curse, which belonged to an alien path.

But Xia was clearly no pushover. Possessing a Sequence One trait, she wasn't easily defeated. In an instant, undead spirits filled the space, and the ear on Xia's head appeared on one of them.

"The Bound God Tolzna?! Impossible! You clearly..."

While getting rid of the curse, Xia also sensed the presence of his opponent, but this also caused him to suddenly lose his composure.

Because he found that the one who attacked him seemed to be an old acquaintance - because they were both developing in the southern continent, the Spiritual Cult and the Rose School had dealt with each other many times. As an angel, Xia naturally knew what was behind the Rose School and how miserable the bound god Tolzner was.

But the bound god Tolzna in front of him at this moment did not look like he was controlled by the mother tree.

Torzina was freed from contamination? When?
And how did He escape? How could He possibly escape?

Countless questions flashed through Xia Ya's mind at this moment. At the same time, she realized something. She looked at Luo Lin and the Bound God Tolzna who appeared beside him and said, "Are you the ones behind the Death Gods who have returned recently?"

"No, we are just here to help the God of Death." Luo Lin shook his head, looked at Xia with a smile, and said:

"Ms. Shia, don't you already know? The one behind the returning Death God is none other than your Balam Empire's former Death Archon and the most legitimate successor to the Spirit Cult."

Shia: ...

Shit! It really is Him!

Xiaya felt a little desperate at this moment. He looked at the two people in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "What benefits did he give you..."

"That's not important. What's important is that you can't afford it." Luo Lin interrupted him. He looked at Xiya with a smile and said slowly, "Ms. Xiya, I have no intention of causing more bloodshed, but if you insist on resisting, I'm sorry."

Rowling did not have a strong desire to kill Xia. After all, it was hard to find an angel-level tool these days. Rather than killing him directly, it would be best to beat him into submission.

And to be honest, an angel from the path of death is not that easy to kill. At least it is difficult to kill the opponent completely with only the bound god Tolzna.

Xia gritted her teeth, her eyes flickering, and then she suddenly laughed at herself, saying, "Just think of me as having too much pride. You want me to admit defeat without even fighting. I can't let it go. I won't accept it!"

"Okay!" Luo Lin nodded indifferently, turned his head to glance at the Bound God Tolzna, and said with a smile: "Little Tolzna, hammer him!"
