The truth about his sister
The Chaos Sea possesses a physical form and is sealed underground in an ancient castle on the outskirts of Loen, a fact confirmed by the Bronze Gate beneath the throne of the Dragon of Imagination. But what Luther didn't expect was that this Tide also existed underground in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods," far removed from the world of light!
"So, this city was ultimately destroyed because the Chaos Sea was unearthed..."
He thought to himself.
It's unknown how large the Chaos Sea actually is. Are these just coincidences that there are entrances and exits, or has it already filled the area beneath...?
The murals were finished, and the hall had come to an end. A decaying altar stood on the high platform of the Temple, and in the rooms behind it were excavated "holy objects," but due to their age, these so-called "holy objects" were all rotten and rusted, leaving only a few dark pottery pieces and some broken glass shards.
There was absolutely no Spirituality aura about it.
The fact that people here treat these things as miracles shows they've reached despair; they grasp at even the slightest glimmer of hope as a lifeline...
Luther shook his head almost imperceptibly.
After leaving the Temple, Adam led him through the entire city block to the edge of the city.
Behind the magnificent city, a massive crater suddenly appeared. The crater's area far exceeded that of the city itself, and it was bowl-shaped with sloping edges that extended towards its dark center.
The light emanating from Adam could not fully illuminate the bottom. After countless generations of digging, the entire pit became dark and deep, as if leading to an endless Abyss.
"What about the Chaos Sea?"
Luther looked towards the cave entrance, but he heard neither the familiar, illusory sound of water nor saw any sign of liquid. "If only the Tide were still here," he thought to himself, "Perhaps I could break free from Adam's control by making contact with them."
The Tide here have long since receded.
Adam began, "All that's left here is a huge void."
"Oh, I see."
Luther's thoughts were seen through, but his expression remained unchanged. "So, what use is bringing me here to you?"
"Although the Chaos Sea has receded, its mystical influence remains. This cave is connected to the True Creator on some level," Adam calmly replied. "Therefore, it can be used to quickly travel to the True Creator's Divine Kingdom."
Luther was slightly taken aback.
As an extraordinary being of the same Pathway, he could clearly sense the presence of the True Creator, who was in the far north. He had originally estimated that at this rate, he would still have time to prepare and find a way to escape, but little did he know that he would be facing the Hanged Man almost immediately.
With my current strength, there is absolutely no way I can defeat my opponent.
Quickly think of a way to delay...
"In other words, it ends when you jump here."
He glanced calmly inside, then looked at Adam. "Before that, I have some questions. Could you answer them for me?"
Adam stopped and looked back at him.
In the darkness, He did not speak, but stood at the edge of the dark, deep pit. A halo of light on His body was the only light in this world. Although He did not speak, His posture of waiting in place already indicated His acquiescence.
After a moment's thought, Luther asked directly, "Who was the original owner of the Chaos Sea, or rather, whose will is that cold-blooded spiritual imprint?"
Adam looked at him calmly.
After a few seconds of silence, He slowly gave an answer, "God Almighty."
"... God Almighty?"
Luther Consciousness repeated the name.
In the world before he transmigrated, the weight of this name was self-evident, but in this world, he had already heard of this name before.
"I remember that when your father came to earth, he also called himself God Almighty."
He said.
Adam nodded almost imperceptibly, then said, "The Lord's return, though seemingly grand, actually conceals God Almighty's ambition to resurrect... The more He reclaims authority from the Ancient God, the closer He gets to the true meaning of 'God Almighty'... All gifts bestowed by Fate have already had a price tag attached in secret."
Every gift bestowed by Fate has its price already secretly marked. The Creator of the City of Silver, seemingly powerful, is in reality merely a backup plan for the resurrection of [God Almighty]... that [God Almighty] is a great being above the True God...
Luther processed the information Adam provided, a chill running down his spine.
No wonder the Ancient Sun God secretly sent his half-body tissue, "Rose Redemption," in an attempt to erase the spiritual imprint by killing himself, thus achieving a clean resurrection... Unfortunately, this wish was ultimately not fulfilled.
"Oh, no wonder you were in such a hurry to control me."
He felt he had thought things through, and said to Adam, "Because I am recklessly using the Chaos Sea, you are worried that this will cause [God Almighty] to awaken, making it impossible for your father to be resurrected..."
Ultimately, it's nothing more than a struggle for divine power...
However, Adam shook his head.
"It doesn't matter who becomes the new [God Almighty], what matters is whether this [God Almighty] can shoulder the responsibility of saving the world and is willing to give everything for humanity... Based on my understanding of the original God Almighty, He wouldn't make a sacrifice when the Apocalypse approach..."
"I cannot place humanity's hopes on a cold and cruel, great being."
He looked directly into Luther's eyes and said in a calm and firm tone, "Instead, we must choose a god who truly loves humanity."

Luther's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with ripples of emotion.
Adam's words were so resolute that they even confused him. Did this guy really think that way? Was he truly willing to sacrifice everything for humanity, or was he just putting on a perfect act, deceiving himself the whole time?
As an extraordinary being who Pathway "Spectator," He is both the easiest and the hardest to trust.
So in the end, he just scoffed.
"So, just as [God Almighty] arranged the Ancient Sun God, you also arranged me, and other innocent people..."
"... This is a necessary sacrifice."
Adam said softly.
Necessary... sacrifice?
In the darkness and the cold wind, Luther took a deep breath.
"One last question, I want you to tell me the truth."
He abruptly looked up, staring directly at Adam, and finally asked the question that had been lingering in his heart, "When exactly did you start controlling me? Or to put it more clearly, was Ms. M also under your control...? Was my sister's death related to you?"
This is the beginning of all of Luther's tragic story. Now, facing Adam, he seeks answers.
Adam looked at him calmly, his golden eyes seemingly carrying a hint of pity.
There's something I should let you know.
"What?"
Luther asked, suddenly having a bad feeling.
Adam looked at him and slowly said, "Cecilia... she was actually your biological sister."
