Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 48 Mr. Men: What do you want to do?
The shadow Pales beside him shook his head and said, "Why are you telling this kid all this? He's just a blockhead and won't understand."

Pales' attitude was obviously very relaxed, and he was not afraid at all that Leonard would actually report him - after all, to be honest, the reason why Pales chose Leonard, the Night Watchman, as his parasitic object was that he had originally planned to surrender to the Goddess of Night if he had no choice, but he had not yet made up his mind.

Therefore, if Leonard really reported it, the most that Pales would do was to switch sides and become an angel under the seat of the Goddess of Night, which was not even a bad thing for Him.

"I think Leonard actually has a good brain. It's just that you, old man, often give him advice and act as his external brain, causing his brain to rust because it has not been used for a long time." Rowling opened his mouth and made another classic secret joke.

"Then this is my fault." Pales complained and glanced at Leonard. The latter obviously did not completely disbelieve what they said. He was sitting there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

This made Pales shake his head and couldn't help but sigh, but he had no thoughts of comfort.

After all, Pales knew very well that it would be best for Leonard to think these things through. If he really became a fanatical follower of the Goddess of Night, that would be fatal.

Pales simply looked at Luo Lin and asked with a smile, "You know more secrets than I thought. Did the one you believe in tell you all this?"

"Of course not. Although the Lord is merciful, he can't be my tutor. This is what Senior Lucifer told me." Rowling shook his head and said.

"Lucifer?" Pallez perked up upon hearing this unfamiliar name and asked, "Is he also a follower of the Lord of Chaos?"

"Senior Lucifer is the Lord's favored one, but if you still want to know more, old man, I'm afraid I can't tell you, because I don't know Senior Lucifer very well. I can only say..."

Luo Lin paused here, revealing an expression of awe and something difficult to describe. He said, "Senior Lucifer gives me the feeling of Amon, but he is not Amon."

The conversation about Lucifer that day ended abruptly here. Pales did not expect that the second time he heard this name would be from the mouth of an old friend he had not seen for a long time.

"It seems that you really know Lucifer." How could Bethel miss the change in Pales' expression, and said with certainty.

"I wouldn't say I know him. I just heard the name from a younger generation." Pallez didn't intend to hide anything. He just shook his head and said, "Lucifer follows the Lord of Chaos and is his favored one."

"Lord of Chaos?" Bethel had obviously never heard of this name.

"His honorable name is..." Pales paused here. He had obviously used some extraordinary abilities to ensure that his prayers would not be directed directly at the Lord of Chaos. Then he continued:
“The Great Lord of Chaos;

You are a time traveler;
You are a reflection of the world, the embodiment of joy."

"I don't know much more about this Chaos Lord, but..." Pales said this, looking at Mr. Men and tentatively saying:
"I previously spoke with one of His followers, who seemed to want to promote the birth of the Lord of Mysteries. I asked Him who He favored, and that follower told me that the Lord of Chaos favored you."

This was certainly a test. Pales was really curious about how Bethel Abraham, who had been contaminated by the foreign gods and had long lost himself, could return to normal.

Can the Lord of Chaos eliminate the pollution of the Outer Gods?

Pales felt his heartbeat quicken as he thought of this, because as far as he knew, the one who could remove the contamination of the Outer Gods had to be at least a Pillar-level being. But was that possible? A Pillar that suddenly appeared?

But something even more impossible has already happened before his eyes... Pales once again looked at Mr. Men in front of him, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Old friend, the way you look at me right now makes me feel like I'm some kind of rare gem." Although Bethel didn't know what Pales was thinking, he had a rough idea. He didn't explain anything, but said with a hint of meaning:

"I don't know this Chaos Lord, but I think his authority may really be related to time."

Pales was stunned, and instantly thought of the phrase "the retrograde of time" in the Chaos Lord's honorific name. This made him think of a lot, and his expression became more and more strange.

Bethel was obviously not ready to talk anymore. He glanced at the shadow Pales and said, "I have an appointment with someone else. Let's stop here for today. See you next time, Pales." After that, Mr. Men's figure disappeared as suddenly as he appeared.

"The power of space is convenient. I don't know who has an agreement with Him..." Pales sighed, but there was a flash of thought in his eyes. What happened today was a bit too unexpected for him. Even the knowledgeable Pales found it difficult to digest it for a while.

After a long time, Pales let out a breath and looked at Leonard next to him. The latter had his five senses blocked by Pales long ago. He was sitting there in confusion and didn't hear anything about the conversation between the two.

This is not because Pales was afraid that Leonard would know any secrets. It was simply because Pales was worried that talking to Mr. Men about the topic of the Outer Gods would pollute Leonard, so he simply blocked the other party's five senses, making the other party fall into a state similar to sleeping.

The shield was lifted at this moment, and Leonard looked around in confusion, saying, "Old man, was there someone coming just now? I think I saw someone dressed in particularly flashy clothes..."

"You're just dreaming." Pales said casually, and couldn't help but think of Bethel's body full of jewels, and shook his head with a smile.

After all these years, he still loves gems so much, he hasn't changed at all.

……

"Welcome back, Mr. Bethel, you are punctual." Rowling was not surprised at all to see Mr. Men show up on time. He just closed his pocket watch and said with a smile.

Bethel looked up and down at the black-haired, golden-eyed man in front of him, and after a moment he said, "You have a very dangerous power."

Ordinary angels might not be able to detect it, but as the king of angels who holds the power of sealing, Bethel still vaguely sensed that the man in front of him seemed to have some extremely dangerous power sealed in his body.

"I'm curious, what am I like in your eyes?" Luo Lin asked with interest. This was indeed a question he had been curious about for a long time.

"...Chaos, darkness, and danger." Bethel was silent for a few seconds before answering seriously, "But I have to say, your disguise is very good. If I didn't have the authority related to the seal, I would probably just think you were a mortal."
