Mystery: Chaos Path

The "Lord" Uroboros was referring to was naturally the True Creator.

"Heh!" Amon snorted, looking like he couldn't be bothered to say more to Uroboros.

Uroboros, however, continued to frown. He suddenly thought of something and said, "If you don't acknowledge the Lord, why stay in the Land Abandoned by God?"

"Do I need your permission to stay wherever I want?" Amon glanced at Uroboros.

"The Lord has always been protecting you," Uroboros said earnestly, looking at Amon.

"I never asked Him to… Sizz!" Before Amon could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck him on the head.

Not only that, but another bolt of lightning struck immediately after. This time, Amon reacted faster, flashing to another location, but the lightning didn't let him go, relentlessly striking at him no matter how he dodged.

Clearly, some old father who had been watching from the sidelines couldn't tolerate his rebellious child any longer.

"This tells us not to be greedy, wanting both protection and refusing to acknowledge your parent. Isn't that just asking for a beating? Even the most doting father has his limits," said Lorne, who had been watching the show, finally speaking.

Hearing this, Uroboros revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "So, I can't both want the Lord as Lord and as Father?"

Lorne blinked and didn't continue to add fuel to the fire. Instead, he said very sincerely, "That depends on the Sun God's thoughts."

He had been adding fuel to the fire earlier to stab at Amon's heart, since there was no harm in doing so.

"Oh…" Uroboros responded, revealing a pensive expression, and finally said, "If I can't both want the Lord as Lord and as Father, then I want the Lord to continue as Lord."

Lorne wasn't surprised by this answer. He simply glanced at Amon, whose expression seemed somewhat relieved yet even more displeased, and didn't continue to discuss the topic. He simply smiled and said, "Uroboros, I'm tired and going to take a nap. I'll leave the traveling and safety during my sleep to you. Hmm, you should know where our destination is, right?"

He had specifically notified the Angel of Fate, Uroboros, to come not to stab at Amon's heart, but to ensure safety during his sleep and to be able to travel continuously.

After all, it would be a bit extravagant to have the Sun God spend his precious summoning time on traveling. These preliminary tasks could be completely accomplished with the help of others.

Such as the Angel of Fate, Uroboros, who was extremely familiar with the Land Abandoned by God.

"I know. I will protect you well and travel diligently," Uroboros nodded and said earnestly.

So Lorne handed the medium for the alternate dimension to Uroboros and went to sleep in the nearest alternate dimension, making sure to close the "door" to the alternate dimension to prevent Amon from sneaking in while he slept to cause trouble.

When Lorne woke up again after his nap, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Good afternoon, Uroboros!" Lorne greeted Uroboros as he left the alternate dimension, and found that they seemed to have already arrived near the seal wall of the Western Continent.

In the distance was a patch of solidified grayish-white mist. This mist was boundless, like a giant wall dividing the world in two, making it impossible to imagine what the other side of the mist was like.

"Tsk, wanting to seal off the Western Continent, forcing others to support the appearance of the Lord of the Mysteries to achieve resurrection, but… how can the Celestial Worthy not be considered to have brought it on himself, hahaha…"

Thinking of a certain dead weirdo who had screwed himself over in every sense of the word, Lorne couldn't help but laugh gleefully. Then, he raised his hand and pulled in the air, and a familiar figure appeared.

The Ancient Sun God opened his eyes in the future once again. His gaze first swept over the familiar Lorne, Uroboros, and Amon, then fell on the gray mist a few hundred meters away.

The grayish-white mist had no substance, yet it was a substantial barrier. Before it was removed by the Lord of the Mysteries, it would prevent anyone from entering or leaving the Western Continent, even the Ancient Sun God, who was half a God, was helpless against it.

The Ancient Sun God stared at the "wall" formed by the gray mist and said after a few seconds, "Compared to the era I was in, the power of the seal has weakened a lot."

"Probably because the Celestial Worthy is finally about to die completely? Although that itself is a pseudo-proposition," Lorne chuckled. He then walked towards the "wall" formed by the gray mist, and when he was close enough, he raised his hand and pressed it against the "wall."

The grayish-white mist, which had been incomparably calm just now, began to boil at this moment. The entire "wall" began to tremble violently, as if it would shatter in the next moment, revealing the Western Continent within.

Even the Sun God was stunned after seeing this scene, and felt a rare sense of nervousness in his heart.

Could Lorne open the seal of the Western Continent?

"…Not yet," Lorne frowned and retracted his hand after a few seconds. He had suddenly thought that the Lord of the Mysteries himself seemed to have a certain connection with the existence of Nyarlathotep, so he wondered if he, as a small Nyar, could use the power of the Nyar fragment to deceive the seal. The result was that he could deceive it, but the fragment power he could currently mobilize was not enough to open it.

"After I advance to Angel, perhaps I can try again," Lorne estimated the missing power gap and came to a conclusion.

"However… since Nyar's power does indeed possess a certain similarity to the Mysteries, why didn't the Sefirah Castle react?" Lorne thought of the Sefirah Castle, which had been completely normal when he first went up, and then thought of the Nyar fragment, which had been unusually quiet at the time, and fell into thought for a moment.

No one is wrong, one first, one issue, one content, one is, one look!

"Could it be that the reaction has already occurred, but I just didn't notice it?" Lorne pondered in his heart, but still couldn't figure out where the reaction was. However, he didn't really care about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

The Ancient Sun God naturally didn't know what Lorne was thinking. He simply looked at the unsealed seal and felt somewhat disappointed.

Amon pushed the monocle on his face, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Uroboros stared at the gray mist that had returned to calm, then looked at Lorne and suddenly asked, "Lorne, are you the Lord of the Mysteries?"

As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent for a few seconds.

The Ancient Sun God glanced at Uroboros with some helplessness. He knew that given Uroboros's personality, he probably really was just curious to ask this question.

But the key issue was that some questions were not suitable to be asked so bluntly. Regarding Lorne's identity, whether it was the Ancient Sun God or the True Creator, or perhaps other existences who knew of Lorne's wonders, they probably all had certain guesses—a special Outer God, an existence similar to the Celestial Worthy or God, or even a true Transcender.

They had speculated on many possibilities, but no one had really bluntly asked. Everyone had tacitly chosen not to explore Lorne's origins.

After all, no one could be sure what would happen if they broke through this paper window. It could be that nothing would happen, or it could… lead to an accident.
