Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 94 Lucifer's Complex Personality
Thinking of this, Klein hurriedly read the subsequent diary entries, hoping to gain more clues about "chaos":

“September 9th, light rain.

After so many days of digestion, I finally learned to control my emotions. Now, even when facing Amon, I can smile and restrain the murderous intent in my heart.

After all, I need to lie dormant. Before I can kill Amon, I must first survive under His hands.

Although I know very well that my flimsy disguise is probably obvious to Amon, it doesn't matter. After what happened last time, Amon is more interested in me now. Before digging out all my secrets, He obviously doesn't mind playing a little game with me.

This is good. "

"August 9, cloudy.

Today I asked Amon for his secret knowledge as usual, as if nothing had happened last time.

“Interesting!” I heard Him describe me like this, and then He smiled as gently as He always did, answering my questions like a true teacher.

After answering all my questions, I saw Amon push up his monocle and heard Him comment on me: "You'd better control your gaze. Your murderous intent is too obvious."

"Sorry, teacher, I will pay attention next time. Thank you for your reminder."

I heard myself answer, submissive and hypocritical, and then I saw myself in the window's reflection.

That person is laughing.”

Seeing this, if Klein didn't have the Joker's ability to control his expression, it would be difficult for him to restrain himself from frowning.

Although these two diaries do not contain any important information, they are undoubtedly an important node in Zoroaster's character transformation. In order to seek revenge, Zoroaster learned to disguise himself and to be in a friendly relationship with Amon.

This transformation would undoubtedly be more conducive to Zoroaster's survival, but... Klein sighed inwardly and continued reading the diary entries.

"September 9, sunny.

Today Amon taught me some more history about the Fourth Age. He told me that the relationship between Blood Emperor Tudor and the Primordial Witch was better than many people thought, describing them as "Although I also think it's crazy, there may really be so-called love between those two lunatics."

Are you serious? Hunters and witches are similar sequences that can be interchanged. Other similar paths are fighting and killing each other, but you hunters and witches are in love, right?
All I can say is that, worthy of being the history of the Fourth Age, official history is even wilder than unofficial history."

What, Blood Emperor Tudor and the Original Witch are true love?

Even though he had heard some gossip about Tudor and the Original Witch from Jack a long time ago, and even knew that the two had a child, Klein the Fool was still shocked at this moment.

After all, this gossip was really shocking. He had previously thought that the two true gods were getting married for some reason, but it turned out to be true love?

It turns out that gods can also fall in love... Klein the Fool suddenly felt that the existence of gods didn't seem so far away, and he suddenly became down-to-earth.

After sighing, Klein the Fool went on to read the following diary entry, which was from a diary entry written many days ago:
“On October 10, there was heavy rain.

I dreamed again last night. I dreamed of that chaos. Not only that, I also saw another self in the chaos.

Of course, that may not be me. Although he looks like me, who says that people who look the same are the same person?

But I will just call him the me in my dream. The me in my dream smiled after seeing me, and I heard him say:
"Ah, I finally see you."

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"You can call me Lucifer."

This is what I answered in my dream.

Lucifer? To be honest, I've heard of this name before, in those mythological stories before I traveled through time, so I asked with some curiosity: "So you are Satan?"

"No, I'm just your shadow."

I heard myself answer like this in my dream.

Then, I woke up.”

If it weren't for the Joker's incredible ability to control his facial expressions, Klein felt that he might not be able to maintain Mr. Fool's unwavering character at this moment.

The amount of information contained in this diary was truly astonishing. It almost confirmed that the Zoroaster diary did indeed belong to the Mr. Lucifer that Klein knew, but everything seemed not that simple.

"Split personality? Or is Lucifer actually another consciousness within the Chaos, replacing the original Zoroaster..."

All sorts of speculations flashed through Klein's mind, making him almost impatient to read the rest of the diary. Unfortunately, the remaining diaries were all Russell's diaries, and no longer related to Zoroaster.

Fortunately, these Russell diaries contained a lot of valuable information, which was not a loss for Klein.

While Mr. Fool was quietly reading the diary, Rowling was naturally guessing Mr. Fool's reading progress in his heart.

During this period, Rowling wrote a lot of diaries, which can be summarized as "The Birth of Lucifer". It roughly describes how Lucifer was toyed with by Amon, and then he cheered up and began to learn disguise, acting with Amon, and in the process he came into contact with the power of chaos and met "Lucifer" who called himself Shadow.

In the setting, this "Lucifer" naturally exists as a villain. His setting is similar to that of the real creator. He is a combination of Lucifer's negative emotions and chaotic will. He will teach Lucifer a lot of knowledge, and will also accelerate Lucifer's blackening. In the end, he will die as a villain, but he will exist forever in another form.

The reason why Rowling made such an arrangement was mainly to reasonably increase Lucifer's sources of information. After all, all gossip cannot be blamed on Amon.

In addition, the existence of Shadow Lucifer can be regarded as a benchmark for the will of the Celestial Lord, perfecting the setting of the resurrection container of another great existence of Lucifer.

At the same time, this can also increase Lucifer's mystery to Mr. Fool and reduce the possibility of being exposed.

"Of course, the most important thing is that this way of setting up Lucifer's character will be richer and more interesting!" Rowling muttered in his heart. He is a bit of a dramatic person, and naturally likes to use nesting dolls when designing complex characters.

Klein the Fool naturally had no idea what his friend was thinking. After finishing reading today's diary, he glanced at the Tarot Club members and had another idea.

Mr. Fool chuckled and said he wanted to share some common sense with the Tarot Club members. He then shared with them the Law of the Indestructibility of Beyonder Characteristics and the Law of the Conservation of Beyonder Characteristics within similar pathways.

This was naturally knowledge that neither the Hanged Man Alger nor Justice Audrey knew. While it brought them great benefits, it also raised many questions, such as "What is a similar sequence?"

The answers to these questions naturally did not fall under the category of free common sense, but neither the Hanged Man Alger nor Justice Audrey minded paying a price to obtain this knowledge. After all, it was very useful to them.
