Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 278 The one who survives is Amon
"Ha! You're quite brave." Luo Lin sneered. He had always been the one to poach other people's employees, but he never expected that one day he would be the one poached by others.

It seems that I haven’t bombed the Mother Goddess enough recently!
As for how the Mother Goddess chose to target the people in the God-Forsaken Land, there are many possibilities - the Five Seas were originally within the influence of the Mother Goddess, and to be honest, the people in the God-Forsaken Land were indeed special enough. Whether it was the people of Moon City who were responsible for guarding the seal of the Western Continent, or the Silver City who held the seal made from Omebella's remains, or Amon's special treatment of them, etc., they were all enough to arouse the interest of the Mother Goddess.

Of course, there doesn't seem to be such a plot in the original novel, but...

"The Mother Goddess wasn't blown up so many times in the original book..." Rowling muttered in his heart, and had some guesses in his mind.

If he guessed correctly, the reason why the Mother Goddess attacked these people in the God-forsaken Land might be because of himself.

Even rabbits bite when they are angry, not to mention that the Fallen Mother Goddess is not someone to be trifled with. After being bombed so many times by him, the two beings under his control have shown signs of escaping his control, so it is normal for them to take action.

"Mother Goddess, God...sooner or later, I will kill you all." Luo Lin looked up at the sky, as if he saw the behemoth entrenched on the moon through the invisible barrier. Then he snorted coldly and looked at Amon and said:
"Arrange for everyone to come to me for examination."

"Okay, no problem." Amon nodded, then smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. I discovered it very early. They can only be said to have been slightly affected by the power of the Mother Goddess, but they are not truly contaminated."

The power of the Outer Gods doesn't mean they can marinate people all at once. After all, there is a barrier between them, and even the Fallen Mother Goddess can only infiltrate power little by little. Otherwise, the Temperance Faction of the Rose School would have been wiped out long ago.

"When facing a pillar, it's never too cautious." Even if Luo Lin was usually very happy, he would never underestimate a pillar of the world. Then he glanced at Amon and suddenly said, "It's rare that you actually left the protection of your wild father."

He hadn't noticed it before, but now Luo Lin suddenly discovered that the Amon in front of him was not his clone, but his real body who had been hiding in the God-forsaken Land.

"There are so many interesting things happening in the real world recently that even I would like to get involved." Amon smiled and raised his hand to push the monocle on his face.

Luo Lin looked at Him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Amon, have you seen Adam recently?"

"Adam?" Amon was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that He was not aware of this.

"With my help, Adam has absorbed some of the humanity that once belonged to the Angel of Imagination." Luo Lin smiled and said to Amon, "You can meet Him. The current Him might be interesting to you."

Amon frowned when he heard this, then raised the corners of his mouth and said, "So Adam really existed?"

"If you believe Sasriel existed, then Adam also existed." Rowling said with a smile, "It depends on your perspective."

Upon hearing this, Amon lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He suddenly said, "When I was still a little older, I had a hunch that my father, Sasriel, and Adam all shared a secret. They were so close that it was as if they were a family, and I was just the adopted one."

"Is there a possibility that you really picked it up?" Luo Lin interrupted Amon and said seriously.

There is nothing wrong with it. Amon is the only thief who has become a spirit. He was pulled off from the Heavenly Lord by God. In a sense, he was just picked up by the ancient sun god.

Amon: ...

Amon, who had been feeling complicated just now, was now incoherent. He glanced at Luo Lin dimly, sighed, and said, "Mr. Lucifer, has anyone told you that you are really good at ruining the atmosphere?" "You're welcome." Luo Lin looked at him with a smile.

Seeing this, Amon didn't know what to say for a moment. He raised his hand to push up his monocle before deciding to ignore Luo Lin's interruption. "Now I'm finally sure that my previous intuition was not an illusion, but I still don't think they are my fathers."

"My father is only the ancient sun god. Whether it's Sasriel or Adam, they may be part of my father, but they are not him after all."

Obviously, Amon is a firm supporter of the theory that "different personalities mean they are not the same person."

This is not surprising. After all, if Amon felt that the same soul meant one person, He would not reject the true creator.

But… Luo Lin glanced at Amon, then suddenly smiled with interest. He said, "Sometimes I'm really curious about how you formed this kind of thinking. You're obviously a group-thinking creature, so theoretically, shouldn't you think that a single soul is a single person?"

The mythical creatures of the Thief's Path are different from those of other paths. Their mythical creature form is called the Time Worm, which is a very standard group-thinking creature. Each Time Worm has its own ideas, and all the Time Worms together construct the subject of Amon.

"Precisely because I'm a mythical creature with a group mindset, I understand the differences between personalities even better." Amon said this, looking at Luo Lin and saying, "Don't you also never consider Sasriel to be your father? Otherwise, why would you try to steal his side?"

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this. He looked at Amon and suddenly said, "How interesting! You adhere to such principles, yet you are never afraid of the clones rebelling. You even accept the principle that the clone will take over after the original body dies."

"Is it strange?" Amon gave him a puzzled look, then said as a matter of course: "Only the one who survives can become Amon. This is a matter of course. Right now, I am the strongest, so I am the original body. If I die in the future, there will naturally be another Amon to become the original body."

"Even if He is not you?" Luo Lin looked at Him curiously.

"He is Amon, I am Amon, we are all Amon." Amon pushed the monocle on his face and said.

"The one who survives is Amon."

Luo Lin looked at Him, not knowing what he was thinking about. He suddenly smiled and said with emotion, "Is this the common characteristic of beings with many incarnations?"

His original body never cared about his clones' rebellion, and often even encouraged them to rebel - although no clone had ever succeeded.

Amon looked at him when he heard that, a thought flashing in his eyes.

Luo Lin didn't care what "He" thought. He had just casually mentioned this topic, and his attention soon returned to the people of Silver City and Moon City.

After Luo Lin checked on these people one by one and completely resolved the hidden dangers from the Mother Goddess, he looked at the half-built island and sighed, saying, "Alas, I originally wanted to place everyone here, but now... I have to move to another location."
