Chapter 470: The Gods’ Conspiracy

The mist in Ariel's eyes quickly dissipated, but she did not shed tears in the end. After hearing what Amberxiu said, she repeated the last words left by Mung Gray River.

This should have been something that could not be passed on to others, but because of their "similarities", Ariel couldn't help but tell it. Perhaps, she also hoped to get advice from this knowledgeable master.

"Master Ultraman, do you know what this means?" Ariel asked.

Amber nodded and said, "Obviously, this hero was favored by a certain god, who couldn't wait to take him to the kingdom of God, so this sudden death occurred. As for which god it was, I can't guess, but this is a good thing, because Your Highness, as the Lord of Storms' chosen one, you must enter His kingdom of God.

"In the near future, you will have eternity to look for this hero. With the reputation of the Storm Lord, it won't be difficult for him to help find out. So, do what you should do first. As long as you satisfy the Storm Lord, your wish will naturally come true."

Ariel raised her head and sighed, "I also thought about seeking help from the Lord of Storms, but unfortunately, He did not give me any response."

"That means the time has not come yet, Princess. The gods are omniscient and omnipotent, and there must be a reason for them not responding. This makes it even more important for us to do everything we should do and wait for fate to come."

Amber's words seemed to give Ariel strength, and the princess' eyes finally regained their spirit.

"Yes, Master Ultraman, you are right. As a believer of the Lord of Storms, I should put serving the gods first. I believe the Lord of Storms has already made arrangements."

Amber Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, finally he passed the test successfully.

As long as Ariel doesn't have any weird thoughts, there will be no problem in the cooperation.

At this moment, Heki Stone, who was hiding in the corner, showed an extremely disgusted expression towards Amber Xiu, and then added: "This lich always has a false smile, but there is no warmth in his eyes. His words are sweet and pleasant to hear, but behind them are endless indifference and calculation. His heart never stays for anyone, and he only cares about his own interests..."

Amber looked at Hecky Stone who was writing furiously and couldn't help asking, "What are you writing? I'm chatting with Her Royal Highness the Princess and you're writing too. What does this have to do with my great cause?"

Herky Stone shook his head and said, "You don't understand this. Historical materials all need details. Only with details can they verify each other and prove their authenticity. Don't bother me. You talk about yours and I'll write mine."

Amberxiu really wanted to give this dwarf vampire a kick, but his intuition as a prophet told him that the draft written by this guy must contain a lot of out-of-context quotations, preconceived positions, and rumors and slanders. It was a pity that he had no evidence.

However, Ambersu will not take this little matter to heart for the time being. He was just writing about Ultraman Tiga, what does it have to do with him, Ambersu.

At worst, I can just change my identity when the time comes.

The Gray River took off, just like Ariel's state. After telling Amber what was in her mind, Ariel felt refreshed.

Some things are not that serious, but what is serious is that they cannot be shared with others.

Now Ariel felt as if she had thrown away a heavy burden, and she smiled more often.

After returning to the Kingdom of Raging Tides from the Thunder Sea, Ariel continued to work on the alchemy factory, while Amber worked overnight to thoroughly study the design drawings provided by the Githyanki.

Mind flayers are very good at hiding, so it is difficult to find them by ordinary means, but their hiding ability is based on their powerful mind control ability.

And as long as they use their mind control abilities, they will be detected by the Githyanki's "gem".

Amber was also surprised by the design of this "gem", which could sense the fluctuations of mental energy extremely sensitively, and its detection range was very long.

As expected of the mind flayers' mortal enemies, the Githyanki have gone to great lengths to hunt down their former "masters."

The manufacturing cost of this mental energy detection gem is a little high. Amberxiu failed twice and spent tens of thousands of gold coins worth of materials to make one.

Amberxiu embedded a fist-sized transparent gem on the top of the staff. Once it detected that someone was using mind control spells, the transparent gem would turn red and form an arrow-shaped mark inside the gem.

The closer you get to the target, the darker the color will be.

The detection range of this gem is about five kilometers. If you fly over it in an aircraft, you can scan a large area of ​​land very quickly.

But the mind flayer is not in the main material plane, it is possible that it has been exiled to the land of chaos.

In the Land of Chaos, both space and time are in disarray, so it's hard to say how useful this gem is.

Amberxiu could only send the finished staff and the manufacturing drawings over, hoping that the Unholy Hymn could help solve the problem.

After just a few days of waiting, instead of receiving any good news from the Unholy Hymn, he received some bad news that made Amber Xiu frown.

Over in the volcanic sea, Ai Ge sent an urgent signal—she was about to become a god.

This news made Amber Xiu stunned for a moment. According to calculations, it would take Aige at least several decades to transform the power of faith into the prototype of the kingdom of God, and then he would have his own kingdom of God the moment he became a god.

It's only been a few days, how come he's going to become a god all of a sudden? Without the slightest hesitation, Amber Xiu dropped his work and rushed to the volcanic sea area.

Most of the volcanic sea area is now under the control of the Silent Night Pirates. It's a pity that there are only so many "criminals" from the mermaid tribe, and this sea area seems sparsely populated.

But this also has its advantages, that is, if resources are sufficient, these "non-abstinent" mermaids will reproduce very quickly. If they are given two generations, their numbers will increase exponentially.

And the problem lies here. The mermaids' belief in Ai Ge has just begun. Where does the power come from that allows Ai Ge to enter the realm of gods?

The answer to this question came when Amber Xiu met Ai Ge.

Ai Ge's ghost ship has changed its appearance. Ugly shells are irregularly inlaid on the hull. It not only has no aesthetic appeal, but also looks bloated and ugly.

All kinds of strange corals grew on the mast, and even the bow began to take the shape of a lobster head.

Ai Ge's incarnation barely maintained its original appearance, but ugly gills still appeared on her neck.

Seeing An Boxiu appear, Ai Ge said excitedly: "You came at the right time. You should have guessed what happened, right?"

Amber nodded. This was undoubtedly the pollution of faith.

The only ones who can do this are the Kou Tao murlocs.

A large number of Kou Tao fishmen changed their beliefs, and a large amount of power of faith poured into Ai Ge's body, beginning to distort her appearance.

The Kuo-Toa fishmen can provide a large amount of power of faith. The faith provided by any Kuo-Toa fishmen is comparable to that of fanatics, but no god wants such believers. The reason is the pollution effect of the Kuo-Toa fishmen.

Their minds are so confused that they will worship their own imaginary illusions as gods, and then transform the gods into the appearance of their own imagination.

The Kuo Tao murloc goddess has an ugly lobster head, mainly because the lobster head conforms to the aesthetic taste of the Kuo Tao murlocs.

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

And now, Aige has also started to turn into a lobster head, which means that a large number of Kou Tao fishmen are providing her with the power of faith.

"That psychopathic goddess is really cruel. She actively asked her followers to change their beliefs. Isn't she afraid of losing money?"

This was undoubtedly a counterattack by the Kuo Tao Fish Goddess, and her approach was very precise. The real crisis was not the change in appearance, but the disruption of Aige's steps to becoming a god.

Now that he has been promoted to a god, Aige's kingdom is not yet ready and he will be hunted down the moment he becomes a god.

The Lord of Hell, the Demon of the Abyss, various evil gods... they are all eager to tear Aige to pieces. Aige's identity as an undead is bound to conflict with many camps, and the Lord of Dawn may even take action.

And this is what the Kuo Tao Fish Goddess wanted to see. She wanted to destroy Aige and use this method to take revenge on Ambershu.

Amber Xiu asked: "Isn't it possible for the president's ring to transform these powers of faith? Wouldn't these powers of faith be able to speed up the creation of your kingdom of God?"

Ai Ge said helplessly: "It's too late. These powers of faith are rushing towards me like a tsunami, and the role of the ring is just a small ditch, unable to transform such a huge power of faith."

Artifacts also have their limits. This ring is already very powerful, but compared with the revenge of an entire race and gods, a mere artifact is still not enough.

Moreover, this move by the Kuo Tao Murloc Goddess was an open conspiracy. Unless Ai Ge gave up on becoming a god and completely isolated herself from the influence of all the power of faith, she would not be able to stop the Kuo Tao Murlocs from "worshiping" her.

Faith is part of the world's laws. If you want to use the power of faith, you must accept the influence of faith. There is no such thing as doing good without suffering backlash. Not even the Lord of Dawn can do that.

From this perspective, the move of the Kuo Tao Murloc Goddess seems invincible and can pollute any god at will.

But in fact, this is not the case. Other gods have a large number of believers. The pollution effects of some Kuo Tao fishmen will soon be purified by the original believers and turned into pure energy. Or some gods can not care at all. What's the problem with changing the image? Gods can incarnate at will and take any shape. How ugly can the original body be uglier than the devil? Only a fool would not want the power of faith given for free.

Only Ai Ge was in an awkward situation. She couldn't refuse, but she couldn't be forced to become a god.

"Even if the power of faith is enough, it won't work if Io doesn't nod. Let's calm down. Maybe Io won't agree with what the Kuo Tao Murloc Goddess did?" Amberxiu comforted.

Ai Ge shook her head again and said helplessly: "No, I have sensed that Io will let me be promoted the moment I lose control. The Supreme God is impartial and will not destroy the plan of the Kuo Tao Murloc Goddess in order to help me. This is also a test given to me by Io."

"That's troublesome..."

Amberxiu never expected that this matter had risen to the level of a test for Io.

As we all know, the most basic prerequisite for becoming a god is Io's nod. As long as he nods, whether you are willing or not, even if you are just a piece of mud, you can become the god of mud.

Take the God of Alchemy as an example. Amberhau unified the weights and measures of alchemy. This great achievement only attracted the attention of his teacher Io. In the end, he was able to become the real God of Alchemy and take the concept of alchemy as his own priesthood because Old Pete passed Io's test.

Amber Xiu didn't know the specific content, but he knew that the test must be not easy.

Just like Ai Ge's current situation, the test of Ai Ou has begun. If he gives up, he will fail completely and he may never have another chance.

For others, staying alive is more important, and giving up is giving up.

But Ai Ge couldn't give up. Her only wish was that Ao could help her resurrect the old shipwright. Only Ao could help her with this. Giving up was no different from committing suicide.

"I still underestimated the gods. This trick is really cruel. However, it is not unsolvable."

Amber said to Ai Ge: "You said that the power of faith of the Kou Tao fishmen is like a tsunami, and it cannot be diverted by the artifact ring alone. Then we should open a few more flood discharge outlets. Senior Ai Ge, perhaps you can accept a few subordinate gods in advance to divert the power of faith for you."
