Chapter 519: To such an extent
In Avernus, the first layer of hell, eternal flames and endless battles are the themes of this hell.
As the lord of the first layer of hell, Zariel's personal hobbies have a great influence on the atmosphere of hell. Of course, it is also related to the geographical location of the first layer of hell.
Theoretically, the first layer of hell is the entrance and exit of hell. Any devil who wants to leave hell in his true form must pass through the first layer. The bloody battle between the abyss demons and hell is in the Blood River Fortress on the first layer.
Zariel was able to become the master of the first layer of hell because of his warlike character.
If it were any other lord of hell, he would not be able to withstand the endless bloody battle.
But Zariel, who has recently regarded war as his daily entertainment, has not been to Blood River Fortress for a long time.
The corpses of demons and devils here are piled up like mountains, but as long as the battle situation does not change, the Duke of Hell is too lazy to take a look.
Because He has more important things to do, which is to find a way to repair a broken soul.
In Zariel's mansion, the three Dukes of Hell were all distressed over a broken soul.
The soul was shattered, and only a few human figures could be barely seen from the fragments.
This is the soul of the lich. After the sinner dies and his human body is restored, his soul will automatically fall into hell.
According to the contract signed previously, the breaching Amberhose naturally fell into the hands of Zariel and Tiamat.
At first, the two Dukes of Hell were so excited that they almost started a fight over this soul.
Everyone knows that Amber has the power to create soul coins. He is the money printing machine of hell. He is still a prisoner in hell. Whoever gets him is equivalent to having unlimited souls.
Even the Lord of Hell might not be able to bear this temptation.
But before the two of them could really take action, they discovered that Amber's soul was so damaged that it was almost collapsing.
It’s hard to say whether this thing can still be called a soul.
This caused Zariel and Tiamat to not dare to use any punishment on Amber's soul. It was like broken glass barely held together by spider silk, which would shatter completely with just a little force.
That won’t work. Once this lich is completely destroyed, they will really suffer a huge loss.
Hell Bank has already started to build momentum. If the principal cannot keep up, it will not only be a loss of face, but the principal will probably be lost.
But it is not easy to repair Amber's soul.
Theoretically, as long as time is reversed, Amber's soul can be restored to its complete state.
But actually it is not possible. One of the reasons is the dragon blood curse left by the Time Dragon. This curse itself contains the power of time. Even if Amber's soul is traced back, the dragon blood curse will follow him and tear his soul apart again. As a result, it is very likely that he will not be able to maintain his current state.
The second reason is that hell does not allow this operation on souls. There is a rule involved here, that is, the souls of sinners cannot be forgiven in a simple way.
Would going back in time be equivalent to going back to the sins he had committed? This was a method of deleting memories as well, which meant that the sinner didn't even know he had committed a crime.
Of course, many Hell Lords can do this very accurately and trace back to any extent they want.
But I'm sorry, the Lord of Hell said, once this starts, it will never end. As the Lord of Hell, don't you know what you devils will do? Retrospective sin cleansing will become your newest business, and it will become a business that every devil will push.
Then all hell will break loose and all kinds of trouble will arise.
So, the rules of hell are one-size-fits-all.
Sinners will be what they are when they go to hell. They will be what they were when they committed the sins they committed.
According to the authority of the Grand Duke of Demons, you can punish, but you can also use or release at your discretion, but you cannot forgive sins. Forgiving sinners is the authority of the Lord of Hell, and other demons cannot get involved, otherwise it would be a rebellion.
Zariel and Tiamat were both upset.
Unable to turn back time, Amberxiu would always remain in this fragile state. Not to mention asking him to work, he would even need to constantly provide him with nutrients to prevent his soul from really dying.
In this situation, Zariel was too lazy to even watch the bloody battle. It had been the same for so many years anyway, and the devil and the demons could never win.
But even though the two Dukes of Hell stared at Amber's broken soul for a long time, they still couldn't think of any solution.
Finally, they had to find Mammon.
This Lord of Hell is not the strongest among the devils, but he is definitely the one with the widest network of contacts and the most money. Perhaps a pure-blooded and ancient devil like him can have more ways than the two outsiders.
When Mammon first heard about this, he rushed over in a hurry.
Mammon is well-informed and knows a lot about the soul. He was confident that he could repair Amber's broken soul.
But when He saw the state of Ambershu's soul, He also looked helpless.
"This... How can we save him? It's like carving words on his hair with a red-hot iron, and it can't even burn the hair off. Not many gods can do this."
Zariel and Tiamat both felt that this metaphor was very apt. Saving Amber's soul was about this difficult, and even the Grand Duke of Hell could not do it.
Mammon, with her big belly, paced back and forth anxiously in front of Amber's soul. After walking around for a long time, Mammon said, "If you want to save his soul, there are not many options. You must be mentally prepared."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Tiamat heard this, she quickly asked, "You want to wake Asmodeus?"
Mammon nodded. As long as the Lord of Hell nodded, saving Amber's soul would be much easier. Now the Lords of Hell could not use the means they could use, and they dared not use the forbidden means.
Zariel shook his head quickly and refused decisively, saying, "No, the three of us cannot afford to disturb his sleep."
The Lord of Hell has an extremely bad temper. Mammon and his daughter were originally a good couple, but he separated them just like that. Even though Mammon is the Duke of Hell and the master of the third level of hell, this father-in-law can punish people whenever he wants, and Mammon doesn't dare to say a word.
If she gets angry, Tiamat can run back to the dragon gods to survive, but Zariel will definitely be in big trouble.
The thought of the horror of this Lord of Hell sent past memories piercing into Zariel's soul like a knife, causing him to tremble all over.
Mammon did not insist, because He also knew how terrible this former father-in-law was, so He said the other two names.
"Either, we go to Oghma. The Lord of Knowledge knows everything. He must know how to repair this soul. Or, we go to Kelemvor. Death can end all death. With his approval, this lich can come back to life even if his soul is broken."
Both Oghma and Kelemvor are easier to talk to than the Lord of Hell. At least if the negotiations fail, he won't slap them to death.
But the problem is that neither of them is so easy to meet.
It is even more difficult to ask them for help.
Tiamat couldn't help but say, "You two, are you planning to lose a lot of money again? How much will it cost us to ask these two to help? It's obviously this damned lich who owes us a debt, but you want us to spend a huge price to resurrect him? Don't you think there's something wrong?"
This made Zariel and Mammon stunned for a moment, but Mammon said sarcastically: "What else? If we save him, we still have a chance to make money from him. If we don't save him, it will be a pure loss. We have signed loan contracts with many hell lords. If we can't take out the soul coins at that time, are you going to default on the debt?"
Zariel and Tiamat were silent.
Mammon was a purer businessman, more decisive than the other two Dukes of Hell. He raised his hand and said, "Let's vote. Continue to invest, or give up?! I'll make it clear first. I want to save him, and then squeeze all his value!"
Zariel and Tiamat struggled for a long time, but finally they could only raise their hands.
"Very good, it's passed unanimously. I will go find a way then." Mammon teleported away impatiently. Neither Oghma nor Kelemvor were easy to find. He might have to do some favors.
After Mammon left, the two Dukes of Hell couldn't help but look viciously at Amber's broken soul. Damn lich, was this also part of his calculations?
He knew that he was doomed, so he deliberately delayed paying the balance, and now he is forcing them to work together to resurrect him?
Have you calculated it to this extent?
When he is resurrected, I will squeeze him till not a drop of blood is left! (End of this chapter)
