Chapter 555: Enemies are also helpers

The place where news spreads fastest in Hell is the Blood River Fortress on the first level.

The main reason is that there are many people here, the density of demons is extremely high, and all kinds of gossip spreads quickly. Moreover, the status of demons who can enter and exit the Blood River Fortress is not too bad, and when they return to their respective territories, they are surrounded by a lot of big and small demons.

With the instigation of the Grand Duke of Hell, word of Amber Xiu's "ignorant" bet soon spread.

It's just that the versions are different.

But everyone knows that the once legendary figure has gone mad and wants to end the bloody battle.

This time it really became a joke, and the phrase "the deceiver is crazy" has become a must-say phrase for the devils when greeting each other.

Have you heard that the fraudster who could even defraud the Grand Duke of Hell has gone crazy? It is said that he could not withstand Zariel's exploitation. Mortals are just mortals after all.

Rumors like this were considered mild. Even Mammon couldn't help but come and ask about it, fearing that Amber would affect the reputation of Hell Bank.

Mammon has already said that if it is a rumor, help him dispel it.

As a result, Amber Xiu said directly: "Yes, I want to end the Blood River War."

Mammon was so scared that he went straight to Zariel to question him, what crazy thing had this fallen angel done to make the money printing machine go crazy?

Zariel was even more wronged. He just wanted Amber to be trapped in a bloody battle and stop any mental torture, so as to avoid the change of power in hell.

After just a few words with Bayer, you want to end the bloody battle? Zariel also found Bayer angrily and almost swung his sword to open Bayer's skull.

Then Bayer felt even more wronged. Nine Hells, could he be blamed for this? Bayer really just asked Amber to participate in the bloody battle, and he really didn't have any private goods.

Who would have thought that this madman hiding in the mirror would get angry when he heard the word "fate". No one knows where his sensitive point is.

The problem is, this guy is going crazy, and what he said is so complicated that Bayer was a little tempted. But in the end, Bayer just didn't pursue the equipment he swallowed. Compared with the entire Blood River Fortress, this amount of things is really nothing. In addition, Bayer not only didn't give Amber any help, but also helped spread rumors mocking this madman.

At that time, Zariel's flaming sword was placed on Bayer's neck, only one centimeter away from the aorta, but in the end he was persuaded by Bayer's aggrieved look.

No one knows what Amber is crazy about, but now the Nine Hells have heard that the Deceiver wants to end the bloody battle, and has made a bet with Bayer. If he loses, he will lose everything. If he wins... no one cares about the bet, because everyone knows that Amber has no chance of winning.

That was a bloody battle between hell and the abyss, a war that would never end.

In order to prove the authenticity of the bet, the fraudster was exposed by Grand Duke Bayer, and a bunch of his former names were reported by Grand Duke Bayer, who said that he wanted all the devils in hell to supervise and prevent this guy from signing the contract with a fake name to fool people.

This reason is actually not valid if you think about it carefully.

The devil's contract is not so easy to fool. Even if you just draw a circle, as long as you sign the contract sincerely, the contract will automatically be established and imprinted in the soul. This is a soul contract, and it has nothing to do with the former name.

Some people who were concerned thought it was not right, and thought it seemed like the news was released intentionally.

But many demons in the Nine Hells lost their minds immediately after hearing those names.

A certain shadowy Hell Lord in the second layer of Hell roared, and the entire fortress seemed to be shattered by him: "King Elden?! That damned fraudster is called King Elden?!"

A sound of grinding teeth was heard, and the Hell Lord, who was usually known for his calm and wise character, went mad and led all his elite troops to rush towards the first layer of hell.

Situations like this continued to occur throughout the Nine Hells.

The same gnashing of teeth, the same rage to the point of losing one’s mind, but these devils were shouting different names.

Arthas, Sargeras, Kel'Thuzad, Taf, Zhuaganbao, Wesker, Sephiroth... These names do not sound like different legendary characters, but in the mouths of those devils with gnashing teeth, these names represent a tragic past.

Some demons were even shocked to discover that their companions, who had been complaining all the time, were the same enemies as themselves.

These demons are strong and weak. Although their combined numbers are not small, compared with the entire Nine Layers of Hell, they are like a bucket of water in the ocean. Only a few of them with special identities can cause some waves.

Amberxiu, who had caused such a big incident, still had tens of millions of clones, most of whom were busy operating the magic mirror system for the civilians, exchanging soul coins, or paying for spells, and he was very busy.

In a short period of time, Amber's "Magic Mirror: Hell Special Edition" has spread.

The cost of refining one is not low, and those ordinary devils can't make it themselves, nor can they afford it. But it doesn't matter, you can take out a loan in installments, get the magic mirror first, and then pay the interest every few days.

The interest is really not expensive, especially since the magic mirror has such powerful functions.

Apart from anything else, the invisibility spell that costs money to cast is already a life-saving skill.

How can a low-level demon know how to be invisible? Not every high-level demon can see through invisibility. Isn't this a necessary skill for stealing, robbing, kidnapping and cheating? With invisibility, you have a way out. With a way out, you can make money boldly. If you make money boldly, you can pay off your debts and become a real kryptonian. If you fail, you won't lose money. The magic mirror bought with a loan can be transferred. Anyway, you can use it after rebinding it, and it will also inherit the repayment period.

Many demons have come up with the idea of ​​killing and looting. If they kill the owner of a magic mirror, they won't have to spend any money to get this civilian artifact directly.

But doing so is quite risky. After all, the devil who wants to snatch the magic mirror is not that strong, and being able to use the magic mirror is equivalent to having a high-level wizard with you. You can even borrow money to cast spells at critical moments, but the interest rate is very expensive.

Because of this, magic mirrors are becoming increasingly popular in Hell.

Ambersu does not charge copyright fees. No matter who makes the magic mirror, it can be connected to his "network" at will. Many capable hell lords get the formula and start making it themselves, and then sell it at a high price, which is equivalent to providing Ambersu with countless free processing factories.

In the kingdom of the God of Alchemy, Amber Xiu said with emotion: "Thanks to your improved version, teacher, it really suits the physique of the devil in hell."

The materials and manufacturing process of this Hell Special Attack Edition are tailor-made to ensure that the materials are available everywhere and the tool requirements are minimized. The only problem is that the quality is not very good and it is easy to be scrapped after a long time of use. But it doesn't matter, the Hell Devil either lives to the time of scrapping, or lives to the time when he can easily replace the magic mirror.

The God of Alchemy was very proud of this. This was not just the result of divine power, but also the result of his painstaking efforts for a long time. He even optimized many functions specifically for Ambersu, the "spirit of the instrument", which greatly reduced the pressure on Ambersu to process countless information at the same time.

For example, some repetitive functions are handled by the magic mirror terminal in the kingdom of God. There is no need to consume Ambersu's mental power to operate them. Ambersu only needs to give the Golden Throne the authority to allow the artifact itself to handle it automatically.

It is precisely because of the real body of the artifact to share the burden, otherwise Amber would only be able to maintain 100,000 magic mirrors at the same time, and it would be impossible to expand it to the entire hell.

Many of these improvements were ideas provided by Amber Xiu, which made the God of Alchemy feel like he had broadened his horizons and shouted that this student was worth it.

Because as the magic mirror becomes more and more popular, the power of the God of Alchemy is also increasing rapidly.

The greater the influence of alchemy, the stronger the power of the God of Alchemy will be. Sooner or later, he will be able to reach the realm of powerful divine power, and at that time he will be on par with Oghma.

The master and his disciple were working hard to study the effectiveness of the Hell Engine and had gained a lot in just a few days.

In a few days, it is estimated that the technology of the Hell Engine will be completely incorporated into alchemy, adding more power to the God of Alchemy.

Just after finishing recording the newly acquired data, the God of Alchemy finally put down his hammer and said to Amber, "Take a break. Even gods can get tired."

The technology to reverse crack the hell would consume the power of the God of Alchemy, and the God of Alchemy has consumed a lot of power in the past few days.

Amberxiu had no choice but to put down the bloody wet goods. He couldn't do reverse engineering by himself.

However, he didn't expect that the God of Alchemy couldn't help gossiping as soon as he put down his work: "What on earth are you doing in hell? I thought you were joking about ending the bloody battle and using this excuse to cause trouble, but what do you mean by luring all your enemies here? Are you afraid that you don't have enough trouble? They can't find you, but they can find your daughter's territory."

The Goddess of Wealth, who had been sitting next to him and drinking tea leisurely, also put down the pure gold cup. On the surface, she remained silent, but in fact, she had already focused her attention here. She was also very curious about what Amber was doing. The Hell Bank was doing well, and the power of the Goddess of Wealth was also rising. It was estimated that she would be able to recover her original power soon.

If Amber Xiu did something like this at this time, it would easily affect the operation of the bank, and his recovery would be a long way off.

Facing these two, Amber Xiu had nothing to hide, so he said frankly: "I had no choice. There are too few people around me who can be used. You can't really expect me to end the bloody battle alone, right?"

The God of Alchemy was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What did you say? Are you serious about ending the bloody battle?"

Amber nodded firmly, and then said to the God of Alchemy very solemnly: "At first, I was just emotional and boastful, but after thinking carefully these days, this may be my chance to be promoted to a god. If I can end the bloody battle, Io can't remain silent this time."

Neither the God of Alchemy nor the Goddess of Wealth had expected that this mere mortal could really play such a big game?

Putting aside the issue of success rate, this ambition alone has truly surpassed most mortals, and even most gods.

Only those who can create miracles can be called gods, but many gods themselves have forgotten this sentence.

But it's strange, since Amber has already left the Mourning Poetry Society, then Jaeger's Death God Competition Game has nothing to do with Amber. Without this mourner's interference, Io should have made some statement, and it is really unreasonable to remain silent until now.

It's just that Io is too high.

It is not difficult for the current God of Alchemy to meet Oghma, and it is also possible for him to have a cup of tea with the Goddess of Magic, but meeting Io is more difficult than for a mortal to meet a god.

The thoughts of the God above Gods are really hard to fathom. The so-called rules before were just speculations made by the gods based on what happened in the past. Io has never personally admitted what the criteria for becoming a god are.

Perhaps, this supreme god really looked at Amber differently and wanted to see him create miracles again.

End the bloody war? Can he really do something that even the gods can't do?

The demons in the Endless Abyss are a chaotic evil camp. They cannot be influenced by "reason" and "interests", and their desire to destroy everything cannot be eradicated, so the bloody battle will never stop.

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

The God of Alchemy couldn't figure out what Amber was going to do, but he wasn't in a hurry. Amber was no longer a lifespan issue, so he could just take his time. The bloody battle had lasted for so many years, so a few thousand years wouldn't matter.

However, the God of Alchemy asked again: "What does your desire to end the bloody battle have to do with your summoning of those enemies?"

"Didn't I just say that there are too few people around me who can be used? Teacher, you may not know that during the hundreds of years that I have been wandering in the main material plane, I have been forced into desperate situations more than once. Although I won in the end, many times I won by luck.

"Those opponents died at my hands in the end, but that doesn't mean they were stupid. On the contrary, there are too many smart people among my enemies. Many times I was able to win only because of the favor of the goddess of fate. If I could get their help, then there might be a little hope of ending the bloody battle."

Amberxiu is really short of people.

There are not many people around him who can use their brains, not to mention Melina. In most cases, the Withered Rose can only help with manpower and material resources, and it is difficult to give him any advice on the general direction.

Every time Amberxiu wants to do something that subverts the world, he looks like a madman. Even the devil dukes find it difficult to keep up with Amberxiu's ideas.

Kidnapping a goddess is a goal that no one dares to even think about. In the end, it is up to Amber Xiu to figure out all the links by himself. Only a madman can understand a madman, just like the enemies that Amber Xiu encountered in the beginning.

In that long list, there were many names that left a deep impression on Amberxiu.

If the situation was reversed and Amber Xiu gave the other party the resources and capabilities he had, he would be the loser. Amber Xiu now wanted to accomplish an even more incredible feat, so he could only find a madman to cooperate with.

When the Goddess of Wealth heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Are you trying to lure out your enemy and make him your helper? This idea is too outrageous. Judging from your previous performance, the person you killed probably hates you to death."

Amber smiled and said, "Zariel also wanted me to die. Hatred is not as important as interests. Did they deal with me because they were jealous of my good looks? It was just a dispute over interests. Now, I have wealth that they can't imagine, so I have the possibility of making them put aside their hatred and work for me. Oh, maybe one of them is more troublesome..."

The God of Alchemy and the Goddess of Wealth asked in unison: "Who?"

The enemy that Amber Xiu specifically mentioned must be really not simple.

Amber Xiu did not elaborate, but just answered casually: "A crazy woman... Never mind, she might have disappeared a long time ago, and she might not have lived in hell for hundreds of years. Even if she survived, she might have been captured and made into soul coins with her personality. But if she really survived, then with her personality, she might have become a very powerful lord of hell."

The God of Alchemy retorted, "I'm afraid there are more than one. Aren't all the enemies you remember quite capable? If they were all alive today, then you wouldn't be facing a group of enemies, but a group of powerful lords of hell."

Amber Xiu said helplessly: "Teacher, you are the God of Alchemy, so don't learn the crow's mouth of the goddess of fate."

While we were chatting, an enemy actually showed up.

Just as the God of Alchemy said, most of Amberxiu's enemies who have survived to this day are not easy to deal with.

Outside Melina's territory, a huge group of demons formed a battle formation. There were at least 20,000 or 30,000 of them and they looked well-equipped. They were not an ordinary ragtag force.

The other side was fully armed and looked ready to attack at any time. The leader was a gloomy-faced Cambion.

Although Cambion is a half-blood devil and generally not very strong, the one in front of him is different. He is a head taller than the succubus Monica, and his whole body is filled with surging magic power.

Standing in front of the gate of Melina Fortress, this Cambion roared angrily: "Get out! Arthas! You had the guts to lie to me with a fake name, but now you don't have the guts to come out and see me?! Get out, you despicable and shameless liar!"

When Melina heard the news, she almost couldn't help but rush out and shoot Cambion to death.

But Amber Xiu's voice came from the magic mirror: "Calm down, Melina, this person is here to see me."

"Father, he is insulting you!"

Melina clenched her fists until they made a creaking sound. She would not allow anyone to insult her parents, especially her father, the smartest person in the world.

Amber Xiu comforted him, "This is not an insult, don't worry about it, let me go see who this person is."

After calming his angry daughter, Amber controlled the magic mirror and flew out of the fortress.

The palm-sized small mirror quickly grew larger and finally became as big as a city wall. As soon as Amberxiu's special look with black hair and black eyes appeared on the mirror, Cambion on the opposite side widened his eyes.

This Cambion roared again: "It is you! Damn Arthas, I will never forget your appearance."

"Arthas, is this the name you are talking about... the tiefling of the Unholy Carol Kingdom?"

The pseudonym Arthas was used more often by Amberthus when he was traveling in the Unholy Song, and Tiefling is also a devil half-blood, so it is reasonable for him to transform into Cambion after going to hell.

But who is this?

This man's appearance must have changed drastically after he was transformed into a devil. Amberxiu was completely unable to fight against any of the enemies in his memory.

Hearing Amber's question, Cambion squeezed out a name from between his teeth: "Corbado! Jaques Cordoba! You should remember this name, right?! Damn liar, lowly slave!"

Amber: ...

It seems like I don’t remember.

Amber Xiu shook his head awkwardly and said, "Forget it. If you can't remember it, it's usually not important. Melina, do it. This person is useless."

Before the aggressive Cambion had the chance to vent his anger, the gate of the fortress burst open, and Melina, who had been impatient for a long time, rushed out with a small number of devil cavalry.

"Idiot, you dare to open the door?!"

The demon lord who called himself Jaques Cordoba waved his hand, and the huge magic power connected with his elite troops, and layers of shields appeared in front of the battle formation. These magic shields not only had a strong defensive effect, but also had sharp thorns that could rebound the damage to the attacker! This was his best skill, and any reckless opponent would be beaten to a bloody pulp by Jaques Cordoba's defensive magic.

But, this time his opponent is Melina.

The light blue light of the Whispering Tree covered over, and the powerful thorn shield melted away like a phantom.

The cavalry charged and broke through the formation.
