Chapter 529: The Superposition State of the Soul
Io is a very willful God among Gods. Except for those gods who have existed since ancient times, many gods have never even heard of any instructions from this God among Gods. They are just unlucky enough to be slapped and turned into mortals when Io is angry.
Sometimes, when Io is in a good mood, he will fish out a soul that has long since disappeared from the long river of time and give it the power of a god.
In most cases, it is because the person's death is dramatic enough and worth talking about.
But Io will hardly take any action against living mortals. No one knows why. They can only guess that it is the personal hobby of this god among gods.
After all, the rules are set by Io, and he has the absolute right to interpret them and the right to modify the rules at any time.
Amber's death was legendary enough, and this lich himself had done many deeds that exceeded the limits of mortals, so it was normal for him to be deified by Io after his death.
The God of Alchemy must not want this student to be canonized as a god of the same type, causing his own ministry to be divided, so he hopes that he will sink into hell forever.
As long as the mortal is not completely dead, Io will not interfere.
"In the eyes of the devils, this is an imperfect but very convincing reason. My student was really prepared for everything, but unfortunately fate was not on his side."
The God of Alchemy was lying in his kingdom, confiding his troubles to the Goddess of Wealth Waukeen.
"How can a teacher clean up the mess left by students every day? Shouldn't teachers desperately exploit students, use them as slaves, and even take academic achievements for themselves?"
Dressed like a noble lady, Wakin smiled and said, "Haven't you already achieved academic success? That's how you got your position as the God of Alchemy."
The God of Alchemy said helplessly: "That's right, I received the benefits in advance, and now I should repay them. I just didn't expect the trouble this kid caused to become bigger and bigger."
On the eve of the Battle of Storm Arena, Amber had a very long conversation with the God of Alchemy.
Fate is set and cannot be violated. Amber knew that he would die in a disgraceful way. But every prophecy wizard said that they accepted their fate, but every one of them would do something before dying.
So is Mr. Doom, so is Selwyn, and so is Amberthur.
"Although I don't know what happens after death, I will probably fall into hell, and I guess my soul will be shattered or even disappear. If not, my friends will easily resurrect me. If I disappear completely, then you don't have to do anything, but if I still have a little chance, then I hope you can do something for me."
Amberxiu asked so seriously at that time, so the God of Alchemy had no reason to refuse.
But I didn't expect that everything Amberxiu did next was so crazy.
The God of Alchemy watched as Ambersh drew out a large ball of light from his soul.
The pain of soul-tearing could make the undead want to commit suicide, but Amberxiu held on. He cut out a part of his own soul and handed it to the God of Alchemy with great solemnity.
"Teacher, your hammer should be able to transform this into an alchemical product, right?!" Amber said tremblingly.
The God of Alchemy then discovered that what Amber dug out from his soul were all the memories related to his legendary grace.
The Forged Soul, the Golden Throne, and the Weaving of His Fate, a total of three legendary favors.
The God of Alchemy didn't know how determined Amber was. He only knew that Amber was really going to die this time. Legendary grace can be understood as an understanding of the laws of the world. It can be regarded as a weak divine power, which is closely related to the soul. Mortals cannot simply separate these powers. Just like after Amber obtained Rose's clone, the God of Alchemy needed to take action to separate the priesthood contained in it.
Therefore, what Amberxiu is doing now is equivalent to dismembering himself in advance and forcibly tearing his soul apart.
The pain was only secondary. Forcible breaking would cause serious damage to the soul. If he hadn't had the support of the power of grace from a legendary ranger, Amber would have died long ago.
The God of Alchemy could not understand what Ambershu wanted to do, but He still followed Ambershu's request and used His own power to transform these three legendary graces into alchemical products.
The crystal hammer is actually the result of the rules of alchemy. It is an ability that the God of Alchemy realized after becoming stronger. When the hammer is smashed down, it can analyze the principles of all magic and transform any spell through alchemy. In simple terms, it can crack and reconstruct it.
The powers of the three legendary graces were split by the hammer of the god of alchemy, then re-fused, and finally turned into a huge alchemical furnace.
This is the last way of survival that Amberxiu left for himself.
Die completely and wait for Io to grant rebirth?
Haha, he never worshipped the gods in his life, and only prayed for Io's mercy after his death? Amber Xiu couldn't do such a double standard, and he was not willing to pin his hopes on the mercy of the gods.
Not worshipping gods in normal times, and not asking gods for help when encountering problems, this is Amber Xiu's consistent life standard.
After all, the prophecy wizard does not believe in fate and always thinks that he can change his destiny or find a glimmer of hope under the haze of fate. This is a professional tradition.
The God of Alchemy followed Ambersu's plan. After Ambersu fell into hell, he waited until the lords of hell could no longer help but ask for help, and then he took action and released the news about the God of Alchemy and his past.
Devils always like to use the greatest malice to infer the motives of all actions. They will also think in that direction without adding fuel to the fire.
Amber did not expect this reason to be rigorous, as long as it made sense, they would accept it. Because they really lost a lot and could not afford to lose.
For a gambler, with his life and fortune at stake and a seemingly plausible reason, there is no room for him to retreat.
Everything went just as Ambershu had expected. After Zariel learned about the past between the God of Alchemy and Ambershu, his doubts dissipated a lot, or maybe he convinced himself. At least now he decided to give this machine a try.
Mammon also agreed, since there was no choice now.
As for Tiamat, no one knew what the dragon goddess had been busy with recently, and she had not been seen for many days. Unable to contact her for a while, Zariel saw that Ambersh's soul was about to dissipate, and finally couldn't sit still, and stuffed the incomplete soul into the alchemy furnace.
The alchemical furnace began to roar after swallowing Ambershu's broken soul, and then lines of text appeared on the furnace's indicator.
"The soul's integrity is 13 percent. Please invest your soul as repair material."
When they saw this, Zariel and Mammon were stunned.
It's over, isn't this a trap? After a moment's hesitation, the soul's integrity dropped to 10%, and the machine once again prompted to invest in repair materials as soon as possible.
Zariel gritted his teeth and said, "I've made the bet. There's no turning back now!"
A handful of soul coins were stuffed into the alchemy furnace, but the prompt was still there, so Zariel could only continue to put in soul coins.
One hundred, two hundred, three thousand, fifty thousand... When he was about to invest a million soul coins, Zariel's eyes were already red, and Mammon couldn't stop him. Instead, he was forced by Zariel to invest hundreds of thousands of soul coins.
Mammon now knew that he had been fooled. This was not a machine for repairing souls, but a money-making machine used by the God of Alchemy to avenge his students! Just as Mammon was trying to persuade Zariel to give up, the machine finally made a harsh roar, and the outer prompt content also changed.
"There are enough repair materials, the soul repair process is started!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zariel and Mammon were so angry that they wanted to smash the alchemy furnace, but after seeing this sentence, they forced themselves to calm down. It has come to this point, no matter who wins or loses, there must be a result!
The alchemical furnace was shaking wildly, as if it would break down and explode in the next second, causing the hearts of the two Dukes of Hell to beat along with it, and their hearts were really pounding.
The alchemical furnace ran for a whole day, but in the end it was just on the verge of exploding and did not actually explode into pieces.
When the words "The soul's degree of completion has reached one hundred percent" appeared, the alchemical furnace finally reopened after spewing out a lot of smoke.
A vague figure appeared in the furnace core, and Amber's voice, which seemed to be poisonous, came from inside.
"Long time no see, you two."
The blurry figure waved and greeted the two red-eyed dukes of hell.
Zariel roared, "I will make you experience all the tortures of hell, and then I will let you start working. Be prepared, damn lich, you owe me a debt that you cannot repay even in 100,000 years!"
Mammon sneered. The lich who was known as a deceiver was nothing more than this. His entire soul had fallen into the hands of the devil. His future life was already determined. He would only become a toy and money-printing machine of the devil and suffer torture forever.
However, when Zariel reached in and tried to grab Amber's soul, he felt something was wrong. What was this hard thing? When Zariel took out the furnace core, the two Dukes of Hell were shocked to find that it was not a repaired soul at all, but a magic mirror.
It is the magic mirror invented by the God of Alchemy that can communicate remotely across dimensions.
And the figure of Amber Xiu just appeared on the mirror. The young man with black hair and black eyes looked lifelike, and he was still winking at the two Dukes of Hell.
Zariel said in shock, "Damn lich, what have you done?!"
Amber Xiu in the mirror smiled and said, "Nothing, I just took a look at the state of my old friend Arthur Ryan and transformed myself into a heroic spirit attached to the artifact."
Mammon said sarcastically in a sinister tone: "Heroic spirit? I think you look more like an evil spirit in the mirror."
Amber Xiu said nonchalantly: "The essence is the same, it is a soul that exists attached to a divine weapon. For the undead, it is not strange to change the body, right?"
Zariel said nothing more, but reached out to grab the mirror.
No matter what the lich's soul becomes, as long as the contract is not cancelled, he will still be his creditor and can take his soul out and torture it at any time! Zariel swore to make the lich suffer.
However, when Zariel's palm reached deep into the mirror, it was like trying to catch the moon in the water. He only shattered Amber's shadow but failed to catch anything.
"How is this possible! You can't break the laws of hell. You have fallen into hell as a sinner, and there is no way you can escape!"
Zariel was shocked. The soul of Amber was right in front of him, so why couldn't he catch him? Artifacts with spirits were not uncommon, and Zariel had seen them before. Wherever the main body was, the spirit would be there. He just had to find a way to separate it. When Arthur Ryan merged with the artifact hourglass of the Time Dragon, he could still run out and fight with others.
But Amberxiu seemed to exist and not exist at the same time, and could not be reached at all.
Amber looked at the two angry and shocked dukes of hell and explained calmly, "Of course I can't violate the laws of hell. My soul is still in hell... at least, part of it is in hell. Did you forget that the magic mirror is a set of artifacts? Where the magic mirror is, is where my soul is.
"I am not only in hell, I also exist in every magic mirror. But when you want to catch me, I am not in this single mirror. This is a special state of soul superposition. When I was studying how to hide the life box, I had a similar experiment, but this is the first time I used it on the soul.
"This is the most daring adventure I have ever taken after researching for most of my life. With the blessing of Io, it has finally succeeded."
Looking at the two devil dukes with confused faces, Amber Xiu still smiled and said, "Don't be like this, you two just can't catch me and punish me, I didn't say that I would default on the previous contract.
"However, the terms may need to be slightly modified. I wonder if you two would like to sit down and talk about it again?"
