Chapter 488 It’s time to change people
The Lord of Hell should not allow anyone to challenge his authority, even if it’s just about wealth.
If it was simply counterfeit money, Asmodeus would definitely slap Ambershu, who printed the counterfeit money, to death, and Io would not stop him.
But the problem is that what Amber printed was "bad money", and this thing can really be burned.
This inferior currency can be used in various devices widely used in hell, and the effect is not much different. So do you think the lords of hell will use it?
Moreover, as long as Amber is willing to pay the cost, he can also print real currency.
What's so special about normal soul coins? Can't they be disassembled into complete souls? Ambersu can also create complete souls, but this profiteer cut costs and only left extreme emotions without other movement and thinking functions.
Therefore, the real way of operation of Soul Bank is to take advantage of the time difference.
As long as the Soul Bank can continue to operate, over time, all of Hell's "real currency" will become the bank's "reserve funds" and become an equivalent to gold as the foundation of the economy, while all of the currency circulating in the market will become Amber's counterfeit currency.
At that time, Asmodeus did not dare to kill Amberxiu casually, because once the economy of Hell collapsed, it would affect all the heavens and worlds, and Io would be really unhappy at that time.
For Io, if Asmodeus fails to manage Hell and causes unrest in the worlds, it is not impossible to replace him.
No matter if you are the oldest devil or the father of all devils, the God of Gods wants to deal with you, and Asmodeus can only accept it.
The three lords of hell actually know this very well, so they want to gamble, and they want to gamble big. If they succeed, they will become another king of hell. If they fail, the worst that can happen is that the status quo is maintained.
As Mammon said, the devil will always cause trouble, as long as he doesn't use violence to overturn the table.
Playing with contracts is the devil's duty. Regardless of winning or losing, Asmodeus usually does not impose too great a punishment.
In this case, why not give it a try? If luck is a little better, in a few thousand or ten thousand years, the Soul Bank might be able to print real money. A piece of paper can be exchanged for soul coins at any time, turning it into real credit currency.
But this is unlikely because Hell is too unstable.
The owner of each layer of hell will be changed countless times, various bloody battles, wars, abyss invasions, etc., war will never disappear, and the use of this credit currency has too many limitations.
After a big war, the bosses of the Soul Bank would change several times, and maybe all of them would die out.
After the change of people, the inferior currency made by the lich can still be used, but how much will the faith currency, which is like a piece of paper, depreciate? The devils are not fools, how can they hold the "credit currency" that can become waste paper at any time?
The best case scenario is to use a small amount of credit currency, but the inferior currency printed by Amber is still the mainstream.
Capitalism is not invincible and needs to be modified according to different environments. In this regard, neither Amber Xiu nor the Goddess of Fortune will make the mistake of blindly copying.
However, as long as they can control this soul bank, these lords will be able to accumulate a large amount of wealth, and wealth represents power. It is not impossible for them to use this power to impact powerful divine power one day.
No matter what, a bright future is right in front of us and no one will refuse it.
The Goddess of Wealth only needed a little thought to understand the future that the three lords of hell longed for, but She also knew very well that this future would never come true.
The reason is simple: the goddess of wealth will not allow hell to stride into the era of capitalism.
This is a faction issue.
The goddess of wealth hates demons and the devil as well.
The cooperation with the Soul Bank is just a cover. He is using Amber's plan to turn the economy of Hell into part of His own concept of wealth.
In the eyes of the goddess of wealth, this bank will become a nail left in her hell.
Sooner or later, the goddess of wealth will use the power of the soul bank to teach these demons a profound lesson.
But again, this is a long time in the future, and now everyone’s goal is the same, which is to build the bank first.
After agreeing on the price, the next step is to set out to kidnap the Kou Tao murloc goddess.
"Everyone, gather your troops. We are going to fight against the Kou Tao Fish Goddess. Kidnapping a goddess for a mortal, this battle is destined to be recorded in the history of the gods. It also happens to be the most gorgeous advertisement for the Soul Bank. Please don't make the scene ugly, otherwise it will be detrimental to our future profits."
When the three Hell Lords heard this, their expressions turned serious.
This was indeed the case. The three Hell Lords were dispatched, including the Lords of the First and Third Layers of Hell. Any action they took would surely cause a stir in all realms. If this mighty expedition failed, the reputation of the Hell Lords would also be affected.
Zariel stroked his sword and said confidently, "As long as you keep your promise and trick the Kuo-Toa goddess out of the kingdom of God, I can kill her even if she doesn't become weaker."
"Then it depends on your performance."
When the magic mirror communication was closed, the Goddess of Wealth ended her transformation, with a red glow of excitement on her face.
The God of Alchemy looked at it and said happily, "It seems to be going very smoothly."
"Of course, negotiating business is my greatest skill, and I have helped your students save a lot."
"Then you must not tell him." The God of Alchemy warned.
"Ah?" The Goddess of Fortune asked curiously, "Why?"
"If that kid finds out, he will kneel before you desperately and beg you to grant him a favor. And this will become his best excuse. He says he wants to repay the goddess for her help and wants to do things for you, but in fact, he is relying on you and can't get rid of you."
The Goddess of Wealth covered her mouth and laughed. This master and disciple pair was really interesting.
The Goddess of Wealth then said to the God of Alchemy, "What are you going to do next? Are you sure you can trick the Kuo Tao Fish Goddess out? The army of Hell has already assembled. If you can't do it, I'm afraid those devils will not be polite to you."
The devil's contract cannot be violated. Io doesn't care about the devil's debt collection. From the moment the contract is signed, everyone must act in accordance with the contract. This is a rule endorsed by the entire hell.
The God of Alchemy said confidently: "You are good at negotiating business, and I am good at making artifacts. This thing is guaranteed to be useful. However, we need to go to the water elemental plane first, which is not an easy task."
The Water Elemental Plane is a very unique space. It is a vast ocean with neither sea bottom nor sea surface.
No matter whether you go up or down, you can never reach the edge of the sea.
There are aquatic species from all planes here, from seaweed to island whales, all of which can survive and reproduce in this world. Because the water element plane is theoretically infinite in space, it naturally also represents infinite resources.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although the kingdom of the Kuo-Tao fish-man goddess is an independent space, the kingdoms of the sea gods are theoretically connected to the water elemental plane.
Therefore, if you want to find the kingdom of the Kuo-Toa fish-man goddess, you must go to this plane. The water elemental plane is extremely exclusive of other magical elements, and the gods of other pantheons will find it very uncomfortable to enter it. They need to overcome many difficulties before they can act in the water elemental plane.
The God of Alchemy was well prepared for this.
Alchemy is all-encompassing and is not affected by a single element. As long as the God of Alchemy is not throwing fireballs in the water elemental plane, his other abilities will not be affected.
After drinking the water element affinity potion, the God of Alchemy can pretend that he is a member of the ocean gods. This is the power of alchemy.
Free movement is not a problem, and the identity of a god is enough to allow the God of Alchemy to ignore most dangers.
The only thing to worry about is the attitude of the sea gods.
Idro, Secora, Demogorgon, etc., these gods are very sensitive to the elemental plane of water, and the God of Alchemy will definitely be discovered if he enters it.
If these gods disagree, the God of Alchemy will be in big trouble.
Fortunately, Amber did a good job in the preliminary work.
The God of Alchemy took out something that looked like a scale and handed it to the Goddess of Wealth.
"When the time comes, you can disguise yourself as my subordinate god and take this fish scale with you so that you can travel freely in the water elemental plane without being stopped by the gods of the sea."
The Goddess of Wealth said in surprise: "Is this... the breath of mermaids, the scales of Idrolo, the god of mermaids?"
"Yes, my student has driven Bribodup completely mad. He is unwilling to accept his own weakness and is plundering all kinds of creatures in the water elemental plane, forcing them to become his believers. Izoro cannot tolerate such a thing that destroys the balance, so he has communicated with the sea gods, and Bribodup is left to us to deal with."
The Goddess of Wealth said with emotion: "Can your student still be considered a mortal? All the gods have fallen into an endless whirlpool under his stirring. Io should have granted him a divine position long ago."
Although Io usually does things according to his mood, and can give priesthood to anyone he wants, and no one has the right to ask, Io still cares about everything about the gods.
This lich is just a mortal. After such a short time, Shar was punished, Rose was punished, and she was almost killed by her ex-husband Corellon. The lord of Hell fought a big fight because of this mortal's idea, and almost blew up the first layer of Hell. Now a goddess of the sea gods is going to be expelled and captured to be sent to Talos... This is too outrageous.
It is impossible for a mortal to achieve this without seeing it.
With such great achievements, it would be unreasonable not to give him the position of God of Fraud.
The God of Alchemy also said with emotion: "Yes, I actually wanted to promote this kid a long time ago. Wouldn't it be better for him to live with me in the Kingdom of God? Why did he have to hang out with a bunch of mortals? But someone stopped me. It was a god that I couldn't refuse. He said that he hoped I would wait a little longer."
"Wait a minute? Are you saying that Io didn't grant your students priesthood because of this god?"
The Goddess of Wealth frowned. Not many gods could afford such an honor. She quickly thought of the old senior who had been forgotten by most gods.
"The Mourner, the Mourning Poetry Society... I know who it is, but what exactly does 'He' want to do?"
The Goddess of Wealth felt very confused. This person was indeed qualified to be honored by Io, but what did He want this lich to do? The God of Alchemy sighed and said helplessly, "What else can I do? What has this old man done in his life is to send qualified people up one by one, and then pull down those who are unqualified.
"Although I don't know the reason this time, I think it's time to change the position of the God of Death again."
