Chapter 329 Threatening the Lord of Hell

Amber looked at the angry Zariel and quickly said with a smile: "How can this be considered blasphemy? My respect for you has never diminished in the slightest, but I just can't find a warrior who can match Melina for the time being. You have also seen Melina's strength. There is really no one in the Underdark who can fight her to a hearty and thorough battle."

Zariel snorted coldly and said to Amber, "You can go and capture a legendary paladin from Lion. I'm very interested."

"What a coincidence! That's exactly what I wanted to do, so I summoned you. Are you interested in Ryan?"

Seeing Ambershu's smiling face, Zariel suddenly had a strange feeling. Wasn't this lich digging a hole for him to step on? After the last meeting, Ambershu had given Zariel a very bad feeling. No wonder so many gods hated this lich. He was obviously saying nice things, but Zariel felt quite uneasy.

He is so cunning that even the gods can sense it. Why hasn't this lich been deified yet?

At least he can be a less powerful deception god, right? Amber didn't know what Zariel was thinking at that moment, and continued to sell her, "I know that Hell needs a lot of souls. In fact, I am very good at making souls. No matter what kind you want, I can weave it. If I catch a paladin, I can copy his soul dozens of times. If I give it to you, it should be a good gift, right?"

The soul of a paladin can be made into the finest soul coins, which are considered the hard currency of hell. Can this lich really do it?

"You can create souls?" Zariel asked.

Amberxiu didn't waste any time. He took out a bunch of materials and made a Death Knight for Zariel on the spot.

Due to limited materials, the Death Knight created by Amber was a bit fragile and could be considered a high-level undead at best, but Amber had programmed the characteristic of bravery and fearlessness into his soul.

"Respected Grand Duke Avernus, please forgive me for my offense." Amber bowed to Zariel, and then said to the Death Knight: "The one in front of you is Zariel, the ruler of the first layer of Hell. Now, draw your sword against her!"

The Death Knight looked at Zariel, hesitated for only a moment, then drew his sword and rushed towards Zariel.

Zariel was a little shocked. How could this undead really dare to swing his sword at him? The pressure of the gods penetrated directly into the soul, and even the undead would be affected. They could not act just because of the master's order.

This soul has its own will! Zariel stretched out a finger and knocked the Death Knight's sword and his hands away. Then Zariel grabbed the Death Knight's head and countless hellfires sank into his head. Zariel dug out the Death Knight's soul and then used hellfire to melt it into a dark red coin.

Zariel looked at the soul coin in silence for a long time.

Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.

The quality of this soul coin is very good. Although it has defects, it is still very valuable.

Zariel never expected that Ambersu had such means. She wished she could take Ambersu to hell right now and make him her coin-minting slave.

But this is not a good idea. According to Tiamat and Shar, if you are even a little tempted by the lich's proposal, you will be easily deceived.

Zariel quickly threw away his greed and said to Amberhau sternly, "Lich, put away your cunning words. You summoned me here because it must be related to the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, right? If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I don't have that much time to waste with you."

Amber Xiu said with a look of regret, "Alas, what a good win-win plan. You help me capture some Ryan Paladins, and I will mass-produce these noble souls for you. Then you can buy whatever you want in hell, and after a little modification, you can turn those powerful Paladins into Fallen and become your loyal warriors. How great it is. However, if you are not interested, forget it..."

"Wait..." Zariel couldn't help but imagine what Amber said. The scene really made him very excited.

Collecting brave warriors is Zariel's biggest weakness, but also his biggest hobby. However, the losses of warriors under his command have always been great, so he has been in urgent need of replenishment. If only this lich could really provide the souls of warriors in batches on a regular basis.

Zariel tried very hard to suppress this desire. After falling into the devil, Zariel no longer had the self-control of an angel and was easily affected by his emotions.

After a while, Zariel finally suppressed this desire and said to Amber, "We'll talk about cooperation later. Lich, what do you want?"

Amber said: "Grand Duke Avernus, can you please let Uladimir go? I can exchange him for a huge amount of souls."

Zariel said in surprise, "I have inquired about it. Your relationship is not very good. You haven't had any contact for hundreds of years. Can you pay so much for this tiefling? Lich, this is not like you. You can sell all the gods for money."

Amber did not explain, but simply repeated, "So, how many souls are needed to get back Uladimir?"

Zariel shook his head and said, "Impossible, don't even think about it. I want him to be my slave."

"No matter how many souls there are, it won't work?" Amber asked.

"impossible."

…

Amber was silent for a long time, then said to Zariel: "Respected Grand Duke Avernus, no matter what you want him to do for you, wouldn't it be safer to include me? You should know that I am also a legendary prophecy mage. Uladimir has gone further than me on the road of destiny, but I am sure that he is not as good as me in many aspects. In many cases, I am more useful than him."

Zariel looked at Amberth in confusion, "Are you crazy, or are you deceiving me? Are you willing to go to hell?"

Amber Xiu said quickly: "No, no, no, of course not. I mean, I help you accomplish what you want, and then, the two of us prophecy mages will be useless, right? How about turning complete surrender into assistance? Of course, I will still provide you with enough souls."

Zariel was silent.

Amber knew that he had guessed right.

Zariel and Tiamat just need Mr. Fortune to do one thing for them, and after that, Mr. Fortune will be of little use.

In this way, as long as the difference is made up with souls, the two lords of hell should agree.

As for the cost of this rescue, Amber will slowly settle it with the entire Kingdom of Unholy Hymns.

Those hundreds of thousands of nobles went to hell, had their wealth confiscated, and then used as compensation to the lich. This is reasonable, right?

What Amberxiu didn't expect was that Zariel still shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't believe you. Lich, no matter what you are planning, I won't be fooled by you."

Amber Xiu said firmly: "I can swear that there is absolutely no conspiracy or trap this time. I just want to save Uladimir."

Zariel taunted, "Haha, swear? Who are you going to swear to, you damned lich? Io, the god above all gods?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Mortals are different from gods. Gods swear in the name of Io, so they are afraid of Io's punishment if they break their oath. But mortals don't care, because Io never looks at mortals. Even if you write a pornographic novel in Io's name, you will only be sent to the stake by people from various churches, and Io will never care.

And who else could Amberthau swear to besides Io? This lich didn't believe in any gods.

Amberxiu really wanted to say that he swore in the name of the God of Alchemy, but Zariel would probably slap him so hard that he couldn't get up. His relationship with the God of Alchemy was probably known to all the gods, and fooling Zariel like this would be pure blasphemy.

Zariel continued to taunt, "I admit that you are a cunning person that even the gods fear, but because of your reputation, no one will believe you anymore. So, just wait for the time of judgment to come. It has nothing to do with you anyway."

Seeing that Zariel was about to leave, Amber sighed helplessly and said to Zariel: "I really want to solve the problem without offending you, but... I can not only weave souls, I can also weave the fate of others. Grand Duke Avernus, my fate weaving has no effect on you, but Uladimir is just a mortal. I can make his soul dissipate, and then your plan will fail..."

The hellfire on Zariel's body suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire altar red.

"Lich, are you threatening me?!"

Zariel's anger turned into tangible power, causing Amber's body to slowly sink, as if he was being pressed down by a mountain.

Amberxiu did not resist, just waited for this force to destroy his body.

However, Zariel did not do so. When Amber's body was about to fall apart, the noisy hellfire slowly retracted into her body.

Even the Grand Duke of Hell cannot attack mortals at will, and the gods would never dare to violate Io's prohibition.

Amber thought it was a pity. He had originally wanted to use Io to severely injure Zariel, but it turned out that this seemingly reckless and impulsive fallen angel was quite rational.

However, since he had already made such a harsh statement, Amber Xiu would not pretend anymore.

"Zariel, I have always wanted to solve the problem in a peaceful and win-win way, but it seems that mortals are still too weak in the eyes of you, the Lords of Hell. My suggestions are not worth mentioning in your eyes, so I will use all my strength to stop you. Do you think that it is over after I kill Uladimir? "No, you should be very clear about my power and the influence I have. Half of the countries on the continent have close ties with me. The friends I know are high-ranking officials in each country. I will ask them to hand over all the death row prisoners to me so that I can annihilate their souls."

Zariel's eyes widened in disbelief, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Death row prisoners are generally people who will go to hell. The souls of evil people are the universal currency of hell. If Amber destroys all their souls, the income of the entire hell will be affected.

Although it won't cause much turmoil, it will also damage the interests of all devils. How dare this lich? Amber said confidently: "Of course I know, I will publicize this matter and put all the blame on you and Tiamat. It was you who rejected the win-win proposal and forced me to retaliate. I believe that the lords of other layers of hell will have a lot of opinions about you."

"You will die too. You cannot withstand the wrath of all Hell!" Zariel roared.

Amber laughed and said, "Of course not, because I can create souls. If you don't trade with me, I can trade with other hell lords. I can even use soul coins to hire them to deal with you and Tiamat. Zariel, I'll ask you one last time, win-win or war? Now it's your turn to choose!"
