Chapter 381 The Consequences of Offending the Gods
Before setting out to sea, Lady of the Mist Leila reminded Amber that the goddesses he had offended had once again united to cause trouble.
So, after confirming that these monsters were tracking him, he immediately realized that it was Shar who was behind it, at least one of them.
After obtaining the knowledge of the dark magic web from Shar, Amber could be located by the dark goddess at any time. This was the price of obtaining forbidden knowledge, so after Amber tricked Shar last time, he didn't even return the artifact dagger to her. Anyway, it could be located, so having one more artifact didn't make any difference.
Now seeing Shar's smug look, Amberxiu didn't take it too seriously. These goddesses talked big but actually they were just giving away gifts every time.
The main reason is that these goddesses have their own plans.
Chaos cannot defeat order, and evil cannot defeat good. This is not because of the power gap between the camps, but because one side can completely unite while the other can only fight on its own, and even if they occasionally cooperate, they have to worry about being betrayed by their own people.
Therefore, the Goddess Alliance can be easily broken and is not much stronger than a paper one.
However, at least we know who is coming this time.
"Lady of the Night, we had a very pleasant cooperation before. I think you don't want others to know the details of our cooperation." Amber said to Shar.
"Threatening me?" Shar's face made of black mist stuck directly in front of Amberxiu and said in a mocking tone, "You are becoming more and more disrespectful to the gods, little skeleton. I hope you can always grasp this limit. If you cross the line a little, my friends will be eager to punish you."
Ambers ignored this threat. There were many people who cursed the gods. When Llane was at his most fanatical, he smashed the statue of the lich god Velsharoon into pieces. But Velsharoon never took revenge on mortals.
"Alas, I thought we had a pleasant cooperation. Since you are unwilling to give me an answer, I can only say goodbye to you."
"Haha, let me see what method you have to resist me. You can't even write down or tell others the knowledge I gave you. This is a taboo that bears the mark of my divine power and has been completely integrated with your soul."
When the transaction was made, Shar made an agreement with Amber that this knowledge could only be used by him. As for the seal that Amber later gave to the elves, it actually had nothing to do with the magic network.
It was more like Shar taught Amber a mathematical formula, and Amber used this formula to complete a calculation, saving a lot of calculation process, and got a very sophisticated answer, and then told the answer to the elves.
The elves might be able to use this answer to continuously replicate the seal scroll he created, but they have no way of reproducing the process of actually deriving this result.
After Amber accepted this knowledge, it was equivalent to his soul being bound by Shar, so no matter what method he used, he could not hide and Shar would be able to find his location at any time.
Shar was just feeling proud, but the next second he said in surprise: "You are crazy!"
Amberxiu was not crazy. He just reached out his hand, inserted it into his head, and pulled out a silk thread.
"Goddess Shar, you didn't know it at the time, but my understanding of the soul is much stronger than you think. You think this knowledge has merged with my soul, but in fact, it is just something like a tumor. I can cut it off at any time. At most, it will only hurt a little!"
Amberxiu spoke calmly, but his soul already felt the excruciating pain of being tortured, as if his nerves had been plucked out and made into strings when he was alive, and then used to play "Flight of the Bumblebee".
With every pull, Amber's pain doubled.
This kind of pain is the most terrible torture that Amberxiu has endured after being transformed into a lich, but if you want to threaten a goddess, you must spend some money.
At this moment, Amber Xiu turned back into the desperado who had broken arms and legs but could still talk business with others with a smile.
Shar never thought that Amber would do this. He knew very well the pain of having his soul torn apart, so he could also feel Amber's determination.
This lich actually dared to tear his own soul apart on the spot, just to strip out this part of the memory.
Obviously, this has no effect on Shar.
The worst that could happen was that she couldn't locate Ambersu's position, but Shar still felt a strong sense of threat from Ambersu.
Once he forced Amber to tear apart his soul, as long as the lich was alive, he would do everything he could to destroy him. Even if he couldn't affect his kingdom of God, all of Shar's remaining power in the mortal world would be retaliated by Amber.
There was no need for Amber to say these things. The various feats he had performed during this period were enough to prove that his threats were effective.
Shar miscalculated. He never thought that this cowardly lich could be so cruel.
Didn't he transform into a lich because he was afraid of death?
"Okay, you are not afraid of death. This is beyond my expectation, but what effect does it have on me? Even if you kill all my believers in the mortal world, so what? I am the goddess of darkness. Where there is light, there will be darkness. I am immortal, and sooner or later you will pay the price for this recklessness."
Seeing that Shar was still stubborn, Amberxiu once again pulled out a section of the soul thread. This time he could no longer bear it, his body began to tremble violently, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
Amber's voice was trembling, but he still said to Shar: "Since I am so resolute, goddess, shouldn't you praise my courage? Otherwise, I can only use this forbidden magic network knowledge to exchange for the favor of the magic goddess. I can't do business at a loss, right?!"
Shar's only wish is to seize the position of the Goddess of Magic, because the first generation of the Goddess of Magic was born from Shar's wound. In Shar's view, the Goddess of Magic has her current power only by seizing her power.
The Dark Web is one of the means by which Shar plotted to seize the throne. It is considered to be the real trump card that Shar has spent many years researching. It can bypass the duties of the Goddess of Magic and allow spellcasters to use spells without the permission of the Goddess of Magic.
Even though Ambersu only knew some knowledge about the Dark Magic Web, if these things were handed over to the Magic Goddess, Shar's years of planning would probably be completely in vain. If she wanted to deal with the Magic Goddess, she would have to think of other ways.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Shar still insisted, "The Goddess of Magic may not respond to your prayers. Haven't you never seen Her? Do you think it's easy to get Her response? Even if you hold my priesthood in your hands, She may not be willing to look at you."
Amber continued, "Then you don't know something. I happen to know a certain god who can help me find the goddess of magic. Under normal circumstances, it is of course not possible to pray for her attention, but if I have this forbidden knowledge, maybe the goddess of magic will be willing to meet a mortal like me?"
Leila has been reborn and has now joined Silvanas' camp. In this way, one can find Azus, the subordinate god of the Goddess of Magic, through Leila and thus contact this almighty Goddess of Magic.
Amber Xiu wouldn't say he was 100% sure, but he was at least 90% sure.
This result was unbearable for Shar. He said angrily: "You are crazy. You are tearing your soul apart. You are an undead. If your soul is broken, what will be left of you?! Can you guarantee that your soul will not be broken because of this?!"
Amber Xiu trembled and said, "I can't guarantee it, so I don't want to break up with you until the end. I have always been grateful for the knowledge you have given me. You know, as a mage, wisdom is the most important thing. You have been very kind to me, and I wish I could worship you as my teacher. It's a pity that the God of Alchemy is particularly stingy and he doesn't allow me to find another master.
"So, you really can't let a small person like me go? There are so many people who want to join the darkness. If you go to Ryan now, you might find a few chosen ones. And my request is not high. I just want to know who the gods behind the scenes are, and at the same time, never spy on me again. These are just two simple requests. Goddess, are you really going to force me to offer this broken soul to the goddess of magic for such a trivial thing?"
Shar gnashed her teeth in hatred, but this lich was too hateful. Shar had seen countless mortals in her life, wise, stupid, crazy, holy... but no mortal could really threaten the gods. At most, they could only make the gods lose face, but this lich did it.
Not only did he cause the Spider Queen Rose to lose half of her priesthood, turning her into the weakest god, he also disrupted Tiamat's plans several times in a row... But because of this, the goddesses in the evil camp all wanted to get this lich.
This lich has the power to burn the entire continent, but this lich chose to abandon his own evil camp and do everything to maintain peace on the continent.
Now, Shar must make a decision, whether to completely break off relations with this lich or choose to compromise.
Shar hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I really admire you, little skeleton. You are the most interesting mortal I have met in all these years. You are also the most important character in this plane, and you are the chosen one of my dreams..."
The more Shar talked, the more Amber felt something was wrong. What did the Dark Goddess mean? She was going to say "but" next, right? As Amber expected, Shar continued, "But, you also reminded me of the past. I have been hiding in the darkness for too long. All I have left are conspiracies and tricks. I have gone from being one of the original gods to being a clown. I shouldn't have calculated so much with you. Regardless of whether your plan can succeed or not, a mortal has offended the dignity of a god, so you should die."
Amber said in a panicked voice: "Wait, Goddess, you will be punished by Io!"
Shar said unmoved: "It doesn't matter. I am the dark goddess born after Io created the world. In fact, I can be considered his daughter. The punishment of a father to his daughter will always be lighter. So, die with your regrets. This is the result of offending the gods."
