Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 253 Awakening Adam's Humanity

"It seems you know yourself well." Luo Lin smiled at him and suddenly asked, "Then how much of you do you think is still in this Adam?"

The Angel of Imagination probably didn't expect Luo Lin to ask this. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Adam with a thoughtful expression. After a few seconds, he replied:

"About one-third? The Lord's divinity and humanity are different, and I am different from Sasriel, so we cannot become the main body after the fusion."

"It's higher than I expected." Luo Lin's gaze also fell on Adam. "Then let me ask you, if the part of you regained its self and emotions, do you think you could change Adam's current situation of only having divinity to a certain extent?"

Rowling's previous idea of treating Adam was to stimulate the ancient sun god's feelings towards this world, but the part of the ancient sun god that Adam possessed was, after all, an emotionless divinity. This kind of stimulation was like creating something out of nothing, and was naturally extremely difficult - after all, the emotional part had been given to Sasriel.

And now, after taking inspiration from the Archon of Death, Luo Lin had some new ideas. The divinity of the ancient sun god naturally did not have emotions, but the former fantasy angel was obviously not only divine. Even if it was just a separated personality, He must also have corresponding humanity.

Just as the ego and humanity of the Archon of Death were completely suppressed by divinity and the god of death, the humanity possessed by the Angel of Illusion was obviously also completely suppressed by the divinity of the Sun God.

So, rather than creating emotions in the Sun God's divinity out of nothing, perhaps it would be a better solution to bring out the humanity that the Angel of Imagination already possesses.

Of course, the disadvantage of this plan is that Adam will be more inclined towards the former Utopian Angel. But then again, the current Adam can't really be called the ancient sun god. In this case, it is not a bad thing to be inclined towards the former Utopian Angel.

Just like the true creator, he has always been more inclined towards Sasriel.

Well, from this perspective, the ancient sun god has really fallen. I don’t know if he can be disassembled and then synthesized in the future... Rowling was slightly distracted for a second, then looked at the angel of fantasy, smiling and waiting for the other party's answer.

The Angel of Imagination was clearly lost in thought at Luo Lin's question. He occasionally looked up at Adam, then down at himself. After a while, the Angel of Imagination looked up at Luo Lin and said, "I'm not 100% sure, but it might be possible."

Luo Lin was very satisfied with this answer. He then looked at Adam and said with a smile, "So what do you think?"

"I've said it before, I am Him and He is me, there is no difference between us. If you can really guide His candidate to be the leader, I would be happy to do so. Gaining a bit of humanity will also be beneficial to my current situation." Adam said lightly, He really felt that there was no difference between them.

Humanity is also what Adam has been seeking for all these years, but has never been able to obtain it. Adam knows better than anyone that having only divinity is very dangerous. He may be able to remain stable now, but if he cannot obtain a true body and mind, then in the future when Adam wants to go further, when he needs to fight against God, the lack of true humanity will put him at a natural disadvantage.

"And..." Adam suddenly spoke again. He looked at Luo Lin, smiled faintly, and said, "This is also a good thing for a puppet without a self."

Luo Lin looked at Him, and he suddenly smiled, saying with emotion, "That's why I said you two are really similar."

Luo Lin then looked at the Angel of Imagination and said with a smile, "You in this era have already agreed. What about you?"

"Of course I have no objection, but what should we do?" The Angel of Imagination looked at Luo Lin with confusion and curiosity. "Actually, I don't have any good ideas. At this stage, I'd probably just put a mask on you." Luo Lin said this and snapped his fingers.

"Is this the mask? I seem to feel a slight change, but it doesn't force my emotions to change, it just amplifies them..."

Compared to Adam who was created completely out of nothing, the fantasy angel obviously originally possessed relatively abundant emotions. He said while feeling the existence of the mask.

"That's its function: an amplifier, a solid anchor that won't waver no matter what." Luo Lin suddenly thought of something and looked at the two people in front of him meaningfully.

"I'm not sure if it can truly bring out your humanity, but at least if you put on this mask, when you merge with the divinity of the Sun God in the future, your self won't be completely devoured. At least a little bit of it will remain."

"This is indeed a very useful thing." The fantasy angel immediately realized the role of the personality mask. It seemed that it could only amplify emotions and did not seem to play a big role, but the fact that it could serve as an anchor point forever could be called a divine artifact in this crazy world.

Many times, the role of rituals is just to provide such an anchor point. Many times, only such an anchor point is needed, and people will win in the confrontation with ancient gods and divinity, or at least not be completely defeated.

"It's a pity that it can't bring about changes to things that have already been established." Rowling sighed with a hint of regret. What he was referring to here was naturally the Adam of this era. Even though the mask could serve as a permanent anchor, Adam's humanity had been completely devoured in the fusion several years ago. Even if there was one more anchor now, it would be of no avail.

After all, the confrontation that year is over.

Just like a person who is on the verge of losing control can still be saved, but a person who has already lost control is difficult to save, even if there is an extra anchor point after losing control.

"But at least, we can still try to change the future." The fantasy angel smiled and said seriously and stubbornly.

Adam looked at him, his expression still indifferent. He suddenly said, "Perhaps this won't have any effect."

"Then at least we have tried, just like a long time ago, the Lord was not sure that He could defeat so many ancient gods and save mankind, but He still tried to do it." The fantasy angel looked at Him, and two pairs of golden eyes met at this moment, one pair was gentle and stubborn, and the other pair was calm and indifferent.

"Just like you, you're not completely sure that you can save the world, but you're still doing it. This is me, this is us. We never do something until we're sure it will succeed, right?"

"Ha!" Adam suddenly laughed.

This was so rare that even Rowling was stunned for a moment.

Adam chuckled and said, "You're right. We never wait until we're sure something will succeed before we do it."
