Chapter 89 The Power of the Golden Throne
The so-called promotion to legend actually means that at a certain moment, your wisdom, strength, or some other quality has touched the origin of the world's laws.
Or to put it simply, you have touched the passing line that the highest god has drawn for mortals.
It’s just like when you have a crush on a goddess, from seeing her in photos to catching a glimpse of her in person on the street, you feel like you “know more” about her.
A photograph is flat, a frozen gesture.
The real people you see on the road are three-dimensional and vivid, and the charming goddess of the world's laws is perfect in all directions with no blind spots, which only makes people more fascinated.
Amber Xiu now has the honor of seeing the true face of this supreme deity for the second time, and bathing in the light of the laws again, which gives him new insights.
At this moment, the power of the school of prophecy was ready to move, as if to add a filter to this supreme goddess and then lead her deeply into Amber's soul.
Amberxiu quickly suppressed this power. Given his personality, if he chose the prophecy, he would never be able to become a god in this life.
During his last promotion, Amber's will was not strong enough, and he wavered from side to side, which resulted in the legendary favor being of little use to him. But once he had been reincarnated as a lich, he had discarded all worldly desires and only retained the most persistent and purest pursuit.
He wants to pursue more wealth, to have wealth that can never be spent, to have the power to protect this wealth, rather than having it treated as a treasure to be rubbed repeatedly by others, and to use his wealth to buy anything he wants... Perhaps it is a bit too greedy, but greed is Amber's greatest obsession.
No matter whether the gold color is incompatible with the temperament of this supreme goddess, Amber Xiu just likes this golden color that highlights wealth.
These obsessions were so clear that they finally added a layer of golden filter to the supreme goddess of world laws, and then deeply penetrated into Amber's soul.
A throne made of gold appeared in front of Amberxiu. In a trance, Amberxiu saw all living beings crawling at his feet. They prayed, knelt, praised, and dedicated everything to the emperor on the golden throne.
When Amberxiu recovered from the hazy illusion, he understood what kind of legendary favor he had received.
Amberxiu walked up to the pile of gold and stretched out his hand.
Millions of gold instantly turned into liquid, flowing and solidifying under Amber's control, and were cast into the golden throne that Amber saw.
Amberxiu sat on the throne and floated in front of Dipper who was frozen in time.
Amber waved his hand gently like a king, and Dipper regained his mobility. However, his memory seemed to still be stuck at the time when the Alchemy City was destroyed, and he didn't even know why he was teleported here.
Seeing Amber sitting on the golden throne, Dipper mocked, "This is the reward you got for making a wish. It fits your personality."
Amber Xiu ignored his provocation and just said calmly: "Kneel down!"
Before Dippel had the chance to retort, he only felt a huge pressure falling on him, and the defensive spell on his magic robe automatically took effect, trying to isolate this layer of power.
However, there is no point in doing so.
The spell counter-effect was completely useless, and Dippel was still pressed hard to the ground, his knees hitting the ground heavily.
Dipper was shocked. Was this the effect of the command spell? Could such a low-level spell work on him? Even though he was an alchemist who was not good at fighting, as a legendary warrior, he had a high resistance to these low-level spells. He also had various defensive equipment on him. How could he be pinned to the ground by Amber's words?
Dipper couldn't even lift his head, so he didn't see that after Ambersu cast the command spell, a corner of the golden throne behind him was missing.
Amber was very satisfied watching Dipper kneel down in disgrace. The first effect of this golden throne was to assist in spellcasting. Low-level spells were weak and could be easily blocked or resisted, but using the golden throne to cast spells could greatly enhance the spell effects.
Even spells that Amber is not good at can be perfectly performed through the Golden Throne.
For example...death by law.
Designate all creatures within a certain range to undergo an instant death assessment. If they fail, they will die immediately. This high-level necromancy spell is extremely powerful. Even if you are a legend, you cannot be exempted from this instant death effect. No matter how powerful you are, you will die on the spot.
Amberxiu's research on necromancy was not very in-depth. After all, the reincarnation time was very short, and he could not cast high-level necromancy such as the Law of Death.
But now, by borrowing the power of the Golden Throne, he can cast this spell and easily take Dipper's life.
Amber can also cast a fireball, and through the enhancement of the Golden Throne, one shot can be more powerful than three.
But although the throne is nice, you will go bankrupt if you use it too much.
When gold is cast into a throne, it is equivalent to injecting the power of wealth into it. The power of money is indeed strong, but it also consumes a lot.
With one cast of the Law of Death, the throne behind Amber would completely disappear.
After confirming that the Golden Throne had an ability, Amberxiu no longer worried about which legendary favor the God of Alchemy should give him.
The ability of the president is to complete the alchemical experiment 100%, but it requires krypton gold. The ability of the Golden Throne is not much different. It is still krypton gold to cast spells that you don’t know. The effects of the two overlap to a certain extent. Even if they cannot be completely replaced, it always seems a bit wasteful to choose the president’s ability. After all, many alchemical experiments are inseparable from the casting of high-level spells, and many times the success rate is related to these spells.
Therefore, you should choose the legendary favor of property conversion. Ambersu will not need to worry about bones when making skeletons in the future. He can directly use steel to cast them, which can give Ambersu more choices.
If that were all, Amber would just be spending money to make up for the gap between himself and other legends, which did not fit in with his philosophy of wanting to make more money.
So the Golden Throne has a second ability, which is to help Amber make money.
Amber looked at Dipper kneeling on the ground and said in a gentle tone: "Master Dipper, we had a misunderstanding before."
Dipper felt the pressure disappear and stood up again in a panic. At this moment, he finally felt the threat of death. The lich in front of him seemed to have changed, and the puppet he relied on before had been destroyed. He seemed to have lost the qualifications to be tough.
Dipper lowered his head and said to Amber, "I admit that I have completely lost this time. I am willing to pay the ransom."
When he heard the word ransom, Amber's eyes lit up.
"Haha, you see, it was indeed a misunderstanding. I knew that Master Dipper understood my difficulties. After all, the people of your Alchemy City asked the Holy Knights to demolish my castle. As for the ransom, it must be worthy of the status of a legend, don't you think?"
Dipper's face was gloomy, but he could only say to Amber Xiu: "Alchemy City has long been unable to make ends meet, and I don't have much cash, but I can use these to pay."
Dipper slowly put his hand into his arms, fearing that it would cause Amber to misunderstand.
He took out something that looked like a pocket watch and handed it to Amber.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amberxiu opened it carefully, and rays of light projected out from the pocket watch, combining into many three-dimensional images.
"The detailed data and design drawings of all the puppets in Alchemy City are here. I guarantee that they are more complete than those archives. These materials are encrypted. If you let me go, I will tell you how to decipher them."
But Amber threw the pocket watch back and said to Dipper: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the technology of puppets. You should know that I'm a lich. In my opinion, the undead are more useful than puppets."
"But I have nothing else."
Dippel said excitedly that he gave almost everything, but lost so badly.
"Don't say that. Don't you still have your life?"
Another small piece of the backrest of the golden throne disappeared, and light green magical energy fell on Dippel's body, causing the legendary alchemist to wail in pain.
Dipper tried hard to activate the various magical equipment on his body, but it seemed too late.
The dark energy penetrated his body and quickly corroded his flesh.
The clothes fell off, revealing a skeleton.
Under Amber's gaze, the skeleton knelt in front of the throne, just like the scene Amber saw when he comprehended his ability.
A fine golden light lit up on the gap in the throne, and fine golden sand was generated, filling some of the gaps in the golden throne.
This is the second ability of the Golden Throne.
Every life that submits to Ambersu and kneels devoutly before the Golden Throne can use faith to recharge Ambersu's Golden Throne.
That’s right, it’s faith recharge.
The higher the willpower and wisdom of a life, the more faith coins it will generate when it kneels devoutly at the Golden Throne.
This has nothing to do with the physical constitution of the living being. The faith value generated by a child's devout kneeling may be greater than that generated by a wild beast, because human wisdom far exceeds that of wild beasts.
Amberxiu then unsealed the remaining alchemists, emptied their pockets and transformed them all into skeletons.
However, these skeletons do not seem to be highly intelligent creatures, and the gold produced by kneeling is still not enough to satisfy Amber.
Although Dippel was a legend, his soul disappeared the moment he died. If he had a god he believed in, he would have entered a kingdom of God. If not, the soul of a legendary figure would become a high-value currency that the demons of hell would fight over.
The skeleton in front of me is at most a slightly stronger frame.
But it’s not a big problem. If the quality is not enough, it can be made up for by quantity.
With the ability to create souls, as long as Amber is given enough time and materials, he can create a huge army to provide him with a steady supply of faith recharges.
Before, Amber would worry about not having enough materials, because it is not easy to obtain a large number of corpses of living creatures. Even if you have money, there are not so many corpses to sell to you, unless you directly carry out a massacre.
But now, the body used to house the virtual soul is no longer limited to bones.
Sorry, the problem last night forced me to re-read the plot I wrote before. I need to sort it out and read everyone's comments carefully. I finally have a good book, and I don't want to let it go. This is all I have today. Let me take some time to sort it out and continue to update tomorrow. I am really sorry for the bad reading experience. (End of this chapter)
