Chapter 544: Amber Xiu's Goal
"Working for hell? Are you crazy? Those devils are more bloodsucking than vampires. You want me to work for hell. Do you want me to sell my soul?"
Heki Stone felt that Amber was pitting himself. A big reason why many people transformed into immortal souls was that they didn't want to go to hell. If they could go to the kingdom of God, who would want to be an undead soul? "Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to go to hell. I'm asking you to work for hell."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is... you can understand it as, I work for hell, but the devils have to pay me."
"The devil's contracts always seem to make a lot of money, but they actually make a lot of losses!"
How could Herky Stone, who had lived so many years, not know what the devil was?
The old thing about asking for a large sum of money and getting a family death benefit is a thing of the past. There is also the one about asking for a wife and the devil himself transforms into a woman, and on the wedding night, he pushes back and gets the man pregnant and gives birth to a little cowardly demon.
Anyway, there are endless ways to cheat people. If you believe in a devil, your life will be over.
Amber Xiu was speechless. Those devils had such a bad reputation that even he himself was not trusted.
But Amber Xiu still said to Hecky Stone: "Don't you understand what a way out is? If you are really sacrificed, as long as your soul is not broken, your end will definitely be hell. Find a backer in hell in advance, so that when you really go to hell, you can suffer less torture."
Herky Stone opened his mouth and found himself unable to argue.
Herky Stone asked doubtfully, "Are you in hell now too? Which devil is controlling you now?"
Amber's resurrection was so mysterious that most people didn't even know what happened to him. Hecky Stone thought that the God of Alchemy saved him, so how come he suddenly said he went to hell?
Amber did not explain too much, but just said to Heki Stone: "I am now working for Zariel, Tiamat and Mammon, the three great dukes of Hell, so I can talk to them."
"Three Dukes of Hell?" Herky Stone said in confusion. "I've never heard of it before. Demons also share slaves? If they quarrel, who will you listen to?"
Amber replied calmly: "They usually listen to me."
Herky Stone: ...
This guy was actually waiting for me to ask this question, deliberately showing off his superiority.
But Hecky Stone didn't even think about refutation, because he already knew Amber Xiu very well. Ninety-nine percent of the bragging this guy said in person was true, at least on the surface.
Whatever the truth is, Amber is definitely doing well in Hell.
Damn it, why wasn't he surprised at all? Even though he had just been resurrected, even though he had a grudge against Zariel, even though this guy was full of sins and deserved to be punished in hell... but this guy could ignore these obstacles and thrive wherever he went.
Herky Stone was very jealous, but he said, "My old friend, if I go to hell, you must protect me."
Amber Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've been prepared. If you want to do well in hell, you don't have to follow those dukes of hell. I have a contract here with very generous conditions. You don't even need to pay anything. You will just be locked in my territory when you have no choice but to go to hell."
Amber took out a Hell Contract and handed it to Hecky Stone.
Heki Stone took it doubtfully, and after checking it over and over again, he discovered that there were really no restrictions on the contents of the contract. The only clause was that when Heki Stone died accidentally, his soul would definitely fall into hell and fall into the hands of the lord of hell specified by Ambersu.
But when he saw the name of the lord of hell, Hecky Stone said in shock: "Melina?! You sent your daughter to hell?! Are you crazy!"
However, Herky Stone glanced at the others and found that he was the only one who was shocked.
"You all...know that Melina has gone to hell?"
Amber waved his hand and said, "Calm down, it's not what you think..."
I was ready to explain, but Hecky Stone picked up the contract and signed his name.
Amber Xiu said in surprise: "You agreed so soon?"
"You even sent your daughter to hell, you must be plotting something." Herky Stone said firmly: "I have missed the investment before, and I can't miss it this time, not to mention that I didn't pay anything."
Ambersu didn't know what to say. This was really not a conspiracy. If Melina hadn't touched hell herself, Ambersu wouldn't let her take the risk.
But now that Herky Stone agreed, everything would be easy.
The devil's contract is effective even if it is signed in a dream, because it is not a physical thing, but a rule imprinted in the soul, the embodiment of the laws of hell.
Melina originally did not have the ability to sign contracts with others, but now she is an official Lord of Hell and has the same authority as other Devil Lords.
At the moment of signing the contract, Heki Stone felt something in his mind, the devil's contract began to take effect, and his soul was locked. Once Heki Stone died, he would appear directly in Melina's territory, unless Melina lost her lordship before that, or was killed by someone else.
After signing the contract, Herky Stone seemed to be a different person. He said to Amber with a big smile on his face: "Now, we are friends on the same boat. You should tell me what you are plotting in hell."
Not only Heki Stone was curious, Aige couldn't help but look at Amber Xiu and asked, "Yes, why did you suddenly let Melina occupy a piece of territory in hell?"
Amber smiled and said to his friends, "What else can it be? Of course, it is to become a god and completely get rid of the weak mortal body. My current state is a bit special, but compared to the real gods, I can only be regarded as hiding in a life box that others can't find. I am far from being equal to the gods."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Becoming a god?" Ai Ge said in surprise: "Did you feel the call of Ai Ou?"
At the beginning, Ai Ge felt the call of this god above gods, and with the help of Amberxiu, she successfully resolved the obstruction of the Kuo Tao murloc goddess, thus completing the test given to her by Io.
Therefore, as long as Ai Ge accumulates enough power, she can successfully become a god, because she has already passed the test.
It is impossible for Amber to be a subordinate god to the God of Alchemy. If he wants to become an independent god, he must get Io's approval.
However, Amber shook his head and said, "It is precisely because Io has always looked down on me that I need to consider finding a solution from Hell. Haven't you heard of the term quasi-divine power?"
Ai Ge shook her head. In addition to living longer, she was actually the least knowledgeable of the four people present. After all, she usually just lay in the sea and rarely studied other things.
It was Hecky Stone who reacted and said in disbelief: "You want to borrow the laws of hell, you want to become the lord of the nine layers of hell?"
Amber nodded and explained to Aige: "The rules of hell are different from the plane we are in. Strictly speaking, Zariel and Mammon are not traditional gods, but the power they wield is no weaker than that of gods. They rely on the laws of hell. The masters of the nine layers of hell are all of this type. They do not rely on priesthood or faith, but rely on the authority shared with them by the Lord of Hell to obtain power similar to that of gods.
"Why are demons more likely to appear in stories than gods? It's because they are quasi-divine and are much less restricted by Io. Other gods have many rules and restrictions when they want to interfere in the mortal world, but demons only need mortals to sign a contract willingly, and they can also steal, rob, kidnap, and cheat.
"I guess the poet is also a divine race, but I don't know his specific identity."
The rules of Hell are stricter than those of the Prime Material Plane, but also more clear.
Especially in the first level of Avernus, because of the existence of the Blood River Battlefield, it is easier and more direct to gain authority here. If you make enough contributions on the battlefield, Zariel's position may be replaced by you.
However, this is very difficult, almost equivalent to killing Demogorgon's body and completely destroying one layer of the abyss. Only then can it be comparable to the military exploits accumulated by Zariel over many years of fighting.
Amberxiu is not greedy. He has never thought of directly seizing the authority of a certain level of hell. He just wants to become a member of the quasi-divine power.
The gods have too many advantages, and perhaps at that time they can completely break free from the control of the goddess of fate.
