Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 47 Pales is frightened again

"...Who are you?" As the Angel King standing at the top of the gateway, Bethel Abraham was the first to notice that something seemed amiss in the surrounding space. He also sensed the connection between himself and Luo Lin. This made him look at Luo Lin, questioning him doubtfully, "You said this is the future?"

"I'm Lucifer, let's call me that!" Luo Lin skillfully put on a vest and introduced himself to Bethel with a smile: "As you can see, this is the future world, and you come from more than a thousand years ago."

"If you don't believe it, you can also go out for a walk. Of course, you only have one minute. Maybe it's a good decision to meet an old friend?" Rowling paused here and smiled teasingly.

Bethel looked at Rowling deeply. As the summoned Shadow of Time, he could feel the restraints he was under. These restraints prevented him from doing anything to hurt the people in front of him, but would not prevent him from leaving.

After thinking for a while, Bethel disappeared. As the king of angels of the gate, He could appear anywhere in the world at any time as long as He wanted.

But Bethel did not go too far, because He could sense that there was an old friend nearby.

The other party actually hid it very well, but in Bethel's eyes, it was not good enough.

After all, Mr. Men is the strongest angel king of the Gou San family, and someone is not only in a weak state, but also too close to Bethel at the moment.

So, Mr. Pales, who had just been frightened by Rowling not long ago, suffered his second fright.

"Long time no see, Pales. I didn't expect to see you in such a sorry state. Doesn't Solomon protect you anymore?"

Hearing this familiar voice that he hadn't heard in years, Pales, who was reading the newspaper through Leonard's perspective, almost jumped off Leonard. He looked at Bethel standing by the window in disbelief. After looking him up and down several times, he condensed a shadow just like when he saw Rowling before.

Shadow Pales looked at Mr. Men and said, "Are you mocking me? Bethel, you and I both know that the era of the Four Emperors is long gone, and the Black Emperor is also a thing of the past. Now I am nothing more than a homeless dog, without the protection of a true god, being chased by Amon and forced to survive."

Upon hearing this, Bethel lowered his eyes, apparently lost in thought. After a moment, he looked up at Pales and said, "You seem surprised to see me."

"My old friend, I'm afraid anyone who knows your situation would be surprised to see you like this. Have you finally gotten rid of the contamination of the Fallen Mother Goddess?" Pales said with emotion, and there was a hint of temptation in his words.

As an old fox, after a brief surprise, Pales naturally noticed that there was something wrong with the person in front of him. This did not mean that he discovered that Mr. Men was the Shadow of Time, or that he doubted the identity of the person in front of him, but that he noticed some subtle sense of incongruity.

"Pollution..." Bethel chewed on the word, but did not show any surprise. He just looked in a certain direction, looking at a different space on Earth.

As the King of Angels of the Gate Path, the person who is probably most proficient in the way of space in the world, how could Bethel not realize that there is another him in this world? How could he not realize that the other party seems to be sealed in a certain space, and the situation is extremely wrong.

And now everything seems to have an explanation.

"Do you know Lucifer?" Bethel clearly wasn't prepared to explain anything to Pales. He simply looked at him and asked again. Hearing the name, Pales suddenly remembered Rollin's visit a few days ago.

Although Pales had developed some trust in this younger generation, he still harbored doubts about the Chaos Lord behind him. Curious about this "god," he couldn't help but ask, "Since you believe in your Lord, have you ever met any other Chaos Lord believers?"

Hearing what he said, Luo Lin glanced at him and said with a smile, "Old man, are you trying to find out about the Lord's influence in the real world?"

Pales probably hadn't expected Rollin to be so blunt, but the "Old Angel" had developed a thick skin after years of experience. He simply smiled and said, "Isn't it okay? We've already reached a partnership, so I have to understand the forces I'm collaborating with."

"Of course, but I don't know much. After all, I'm just a newcomer!" Luo Lin smiled, a nostalgic expression on his face, and then said:
"There are many organizations that follow the Lord, but the most important one, as far as I know, is called the 'Fun Club,' which is also the organization I joined. I don't know how many members the Fun Club has, but I do know that many members of these organizations are also members of the Fun Club, such as Mr. A from the Aurora Society."

"Mr. A? Are you referring to the Aurora Society's messengers?" Leonard, standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they a bunch of lunatics who only believe in the true Creator?"

"Mr. A is indeed a devout believer in the True Creator." Luo Lin did not deny Leonard's words. Instead, he nodded in confirmation and said with a smile, "In fact, the reason Mr. A joined the Fun Club was because of the True Creator's instruction."

He didn't directly say that the Lord of Chaos and the True Creator were allies. After all, everything was implied.

Leonard couldn't help but frown and said, "That's the evil god..." His eyes flickered, and he obviously had the urge to risk his life to report the guy in front of him who was colluding with the evil god and the existence behind him.

"Then do you know that in the Third Age, the Goddess of Night was also just an evil god?" Rowling looked at Leonard and spoke with a smile.

"What?" Leonard was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed and he said, "You bastard! I won't let you slander the goddess!"

Rowling smiled and patted Leonard on the shoulder, and all of the latter's anger was forced to subside in an instant.

"There's no need for me to lie about this, and you don't have to get so excited. In fact, I don't mind you reporting these things to the Church of Evernight." Luo Lin gave Leonard a meaningful look before saying,

"How do you know that the Goddess of Night and my Lord have no cooperative relationship? Perhaps, the Goddess of Night is watching us!"

Leonard, who was wondering why his anger disappeared all of a sudden, suddenly widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief when he heard what Rowling said.

"Think about it carefully, Leonard. The relationship between true gods is not as simple as it seems. In the Fourth Age, the real creator who you called the evil god was also one of the true gods." Rowling patted Leonard's shoulder again and said with a smile.
