Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 87 I Can Give You a Chance to Choose

Klein opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He suddenly laughed, although he didn't know why he laughed.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Klein felt that the clown potion he had been struggling to play had suddenly digested. At this moment, he understood the true meaning of digesting the clown potion, which was that even if he knew the future, he was still unable to fight against fate and could only become a helpless clown with a smile to cover up everything.

How ironic!
As Klein thought this, he looked up at Rowling and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on with Doomsday?"

"In about ten years, this world will usher in the end. If there is no Tianzun or someone to replace Tianzun, 99% of people will die." Luo Lin said without hiding anything. The reason why it is 99% of people is that it is not ruled out that a god will run away with the believers.

Klein was speechless for a moment. He remained silent for a long time before he said, "What about you?"

"They chose to bet on me, so why are you telling me this?"

Because I was soft-hearted, Klein. The Lord of Mysteries must be born, but it doesn't have to be you.

You can reject this fate. As my friend, you should have the right to reject your fate.

Luo Lin muttered to himself, then smiled at Klein and said, "I just don't want to see another 'me' make the same mistake."

"So I'm willing to give you a chance, Klein. You can choose to accept this fate. Even though it's not that good, it's not that bad either. At least by choosing this path, you can become one of the strongest in this world."

"You can also choose to give up. After you give up, all the salvation has nothing to do with you. You can continue to stay in Tingen as a night watchman, or you can leave Tingen and do whatever you want."

Luo Lin said seriously. He looked at Klein with an unprecedentedly sincere smile, "I will help you prevent trouble from others and find another savior."

"...Besides me, is there anyone else who can become the 'Celestial Lord'?" Klein asked after a moment of silence.

"There is another suitable candidate, but his condition is very bad. I cannot guarantee that he can become the 'Tian Zun'. I can only say that there is a certain possibility." Luo Lin did not exaggerate. Although he was confident that he could rescue Mr. Men, could the other party definitely fight against Tian Zun?
It’s hard to say, after all, Mr. Men has experienced so many years of torture, and his condition is really bad. Even if he gets rid of the pollution, it is not certain that he will be promoted to the Lord of Mysteries.

"So, can I definitely do it?" Klein asked this question out of genuine confusion. He simply didn't understand why an ordinary person like him was qualified to be the savior.

"For the Goddess of Night, you're the only choice. They're not sure you're qualified, but they have no other choice," Luo Lin explained, hiding nothing. "And in the scenario I can foresee, you do temporarily defeat the Celestial Lord."

"For now?" Klein clearly didn't understand what this meant.

"Tianzun is a very special existence. No one can defeat him completely. Even you, as the protagonist, can only defeat him temporarily. After tens of millions of years, he will finally win." Luo Lin explained slowly.

"That sounds really shameless, like a boss with a locked health bar in a game," Klein said sarcastically. He fell silent again. After a moment's silence, he said:
"...If the 'Tianzun' cannot be born, will the end of the world really come?"

"Yes." Luo Lin nodded, thought for a moment, and added, "Although the end of the world is bound to come, there are also many who can resist it. So you don't need to take all the responsibility on yourself. Even without you, the world may still survive the end of the world."

"That sounds good." Klein wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he didn't. He was silent for a long time before saying:
"Can I be alone for a while?"

"Of course, you don't have to rush to answer. No matter what choice you make, I will support you." Luo Lin stood up and said as he walked out.

"I thought you hated me." Just as Rowling walked to the door, Klein's muffled voice came.

"I hate a little liar, but I don't hate a good boy." Luo Lin didn't look back, he just smiled and said:

"So I'm willing to help a good child choose his or her own ending."

The door opened and closed, and the room fell silent, leaving only Klein the cat.

He couldn't help but curl up his body, like a real cat, and rolled himself into a small ball. But perhaps because the coffee table was relatively cold, Klein the Cat couldn't feel any warmth.

It’s so cold!

This world is so cold!
Klein felt very cold and exhausted. The fatigue from the recent battle and the fatigue accumulated during this period of time all came up at this moment. He felt that he would not be able to sleep, but in fact, Klein fell asleep very quickly, faster than he expected.

After he fell asleep, the door of the room opened again. Rowling tiptoed to Klein's side, covered Klein's cat with a blanket, and said gently:

"Go to sleep, and when you wake up, consider those choices that are too complicated for you."

He gently pressed his hand on Klein's head, making a grabbing motion, and the injuries on Klein's body disappeared.

Rollin stole the wound from Klein's body and then released it on the white mouse that had just been prepared.

"It's really troublesome not having healing skills." Rowling sighed and felt that he still needed to deal with the Church of Mother Earth, otherwise where would he get the healing skills?

……

Klein didn't know how long he slept.

When he woke up, he found that the wounds on his body no longer hurt. He stood up and found that he was still a cat, but he didn't know who had covered him with a blanket.

Klein shook his head. After this sleep, he could feel that his condition had recovered a lot. He looked out the window and saw that it was already pitch black outside.

Klein looked around again and found a bowl of food nearby. It was cooked chicken breast. Hunger made Klein swallow his saliva. After looking around, he leaned over and ate up all the chicken breast in the bowl.

After eating and drinking, Klein finally had the energy to recall what happened before he went to sleep. This made him emotionally unstable again, but because his condition had recovered, he naturally did not lose control again.

Klein just stared silently at his own shadow under the light, thinking silently. He suddenly wished he were a real cat so that he wouldn't have to worry about all these messy things.

Suddenly, Klein heard the sound of a door opening, which made him subconsciously think that Lucifer had returned. He looked up at the door, but was stunned.

Because at the door was a figure Klein was familiar with, a figure so familiar that Klein thought he would never see it again in his life.

——His mother.
