Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 273 Azik's Choice
Azik opened his eyes and looked at Luo Lin. He said seriously, "I want to accept the uniqueness of the God of Death. I don't want to be that arbitrary Archon of Death anymore. I want to protect my children, my family, and you all."

The God of Death pursues power for his own sake and abandons everything around him. Whether it is his people or his descendants, they are just tools that he can use.

Azik was clearly the opposite of his father, choosing strength for the sake of the people around him. Azik knew that he needed strength to protect his current home.

"That's the choice you would make." Luo Lin was not surprised by the answer. He just looked at Azik and said with a smile:
"It seems I need to start a new chapter for you, Azik. I'm looking forward to you writing a new play about the god of death in this world."

"Thank you, Lucifer." Azik said sincerely.

"I don't think we should be so polite to each other." Luo Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "We are friends, aren't we?"

Azik also laughed when he heard this. He was obviously about to say something, but Luo Lin interrupted him.

"Okay, stop being sentimental and focus on compiling your holy code. Becoming a god is no easy task. Even if the god of death doesn't resurrect within you, you still have to learn to fight madness, fight divinity, and fight the first possible resurrection. No matter which one, it won't be an easy task." Rowling waved his hand and said.

"Yeah, I know." Azik nodded. He suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Lin.

Because Azik saw Xia standing at the door of the study. He didn't know how long he had been standing there listening, and his expression was not very good.

Luo Lin was clearly not surprised by someone's presence. He slowly poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, which had been a little dry from talking so much. Then he turned to look at Xia and said with a smile, "Did you hear everything?"

Xia Ya didn't deny it and nodded, "Yes, you must have let me hear it on purpose."

"It's good that you know." Luo Lin also did not deny it. He looked at Xia with a smile and said:

"Azik is the next candidate for the God of Death, jointly nominated by me, the Goddess of Night, and the True Creator. If you are smart enough, you should know how to choose."

Hearing this, Xia finally couldn't help but look at Luo Lin, her expression somewhat broken as she said, "I don't understand. Forget about the others, but why does even the Goddess of Night support Him? Weren't they once enemies?"

"The High-Sequence World never has eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. I thought you understood this principle." Luo Lin took a sip of black tea, looked up at Him, and said, "I let you hear this because I don't want you to seek death or engage in any petty actions."

"Xia, I don't enjoy killing people, so even if Azik ascends to godhood, you can still survive as a Sequence Two."

Luo Lin paused here, then changed the subject and said, "But if you insist on doing something you shouldn't do, I can also turn you into a special person."

Xia bit her lower lip. She was indeed unwilling to accept this, but no matter how unwilling one was, one had to learn to bow to reality.

He is just a Sequence 1, unable to defeat even the Bound God Tolznasia. How can he fight against Azik who has the support of multiple Sequence 0s?
Xia glanced at Azik gloomily. He suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I once thought I could become the next Hades Emperor, even surpass him... Now it seems that I was really overestimating my own abilities."

Azik looked at Him calmly and suddenly said, "You're going the wrong way."

Xia looked at him puzzledly.

"This world doesn't need another Hades." Azik seemed to sigh. He looked at Shia, as if he were looking at a misguided junior, and said, "The people sent by the royal family have taught you bad things. Even without me, do you really think you can advance to Sequence 0?"

"Or maybe it's just to let Salinger change his body and be reborn." Xia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and widened his eyes.

Azik said nothing more and lowered his head to continue compiling his own "Holy Book".

Luo Lin glanced at Xia, who seemed to have suddenly realized something, and smiled.

As everyone knows, Shia is also a descendant of the Grim Reaper, and she calls herself the Pale Queen. Since the Grim Reaper can use Azik, a descendant, as a vessel to be resurrected, then can't he also be reborn in Shia's body?

Luo Lin doesn't think this is impossible.

Especially since Xia was apparently being trained by the royal family to become a Death God.

……

After Azik pointed out a certain fact to Xia, she became depressed, like a lost person who had lost his dream.

Luo Lin was too lazy to care about him. As long as Xia worked obediently, nothing else mattered.

After all, even Rowling himself was busy in the following days, so how could he have time to care about the thoughts of a marginal tool man?

However, during these busy days, a small incident occurred.

"It's not easy. You're finally going to be promoted to a Faceless Man. I thought you liked life here too much and didn't want to go to a border city to experience life there!"

Rowling, wearing the Lucifer vest, looked at Klein in front of him and said with a smile, mainly in a sarcastic tone.

But my digestion speed is really fast... Klein defended himself in his heart, feeling a little aggrieved. Of course, he said nothing outwardly. He just quietly took out the box containing the ingredients for preparing the Faceless Man Potion, opened it, and began to prepare the Faceless Man Potion.

As a skilled worker, there was naturally no way this process could go wrong, and soon a bottle of "Faceless Man" potion was freshly produced.

"Is this the Faceless Man's potion? It looks so unpalatable." Little Amon commented from the side.

"There's no delicious potion!" "Jack," who was also standing nearby, spread his hands. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "No, the audience potion seems to taste good... Tsk, that's so unfair. The potion tastes good, and the abilities are all-round. It can fight, heal, and even carry. This version of the audience is too strong!"

"If you're so envious of the audience, you could jump over there too. Jumping over now would be a great opportunity to compete with Adam for the position of Sequence 0." Medici, who appeared for some reason, glanced at "Jack" and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Forget it. Adam has worked so hard for so many years to reach the Sequence 0 position. If I jump over to compete with him, it would be too disrespectful to him." Rowling, wearing the "Jack" vest, said this and glanced in a certain direction.

The blond priest in the corner seemed to sense his gaze and gave him a gentle smile.

"Jack" then glanced at Medici again.
