Chapter 630 The Devil with the Best Reputation

Xirik has always advocated controlling others by staying out of the matter.

Just like what He himself said, lying should not affect oneself regardless of success or failure, and that is the right choice.

Therefore, Xirik is rarely caught. Even when he is crazy, he acts according to his instinct, so the Lord of Dawn and other enemies cannot catch him.

It was good enough that Amber was able to capture an insignificant clone.

But Amberxiu wanted more than just this. He wanted Xirik to suffer a defeat and then try to plot against him. That would be extremely annoying.

Therefore, Amber hopes to solve the problem once and for all.

The simplest way to deal with Xirik is to directly deprive him of his priesthood.

Amber is not Io and has no right to deprive the gods of their priesthood, but he is not completely powerless against Xirik.

Just like how Zariel ultimately failed to keep his position as the Grand Duke of the Devil, now as long as Amber can put in some effort, he may have a chance to snatch Xirik's position.

The method is very simple. He needs to defeat Xirik in the matter of lies, and win completely. This will probably automatically strip Xirik's priesthood and transfer it to Amberxiu.

At that time, Cyric will become a mortal again.

And Xirik's clone is exactly what Amber needs.

It is difficult for sinners to leave hell. Now it is difficult for Xirik to even commit suicide.

Amberxiu mobilized enormous divine power in front of Xirek, and layer after layer of mysterious magic array appeared in front of Xirek's eyes, overlapping each other to form a huge magic array that was large enough to cover the sky.

Xirik looked at what was in front of him and was surprised to find that he couldn't understand it.

With his knowledge, he was unable to understand what Amber was doing. He could only feel that this huge magic circle consumed a large amount of divine power, but he could not feel any effect at all.

Xirik didn't bother to be polite with Amber Xiu and asked directly: "What are you doing?"

Amberxiu did not answer, but stretched out his hand and pinched it. The layers of magic circles that had just been stacked quickly shrank and merged into Amberxiu's palm, as if nothing had happened.

After doing all this, Amber said to Xirik: "I'll give you a chance. Let's take a gamble."

Xirik asked doubtfully, "What are you betting on?"

"I bet on whether I can solve the problem of these five demon lords without taking any action."

Xirik said disdainfully: "Why should I bet with you?"

"Because this is your only chance to defeat me. Of course, you don't have to accept it. I won't block your mouth. I will also take you to meet your five allies. You can use your wisdom to stop me."

Amber took Xirik in the cage and walked out of the Great Library in one step, and came to the Blood River Battlefield.

There is a large area of ​​lava below, but above the lava, countless black lightnings are constantly striking. This means someone is breaking through the space of hell and trying to force their way into hell.

Amber Xiu did not stop him. Instead, he stretched out his finger and lightly drew a line, and a huge space door appeared in front of him.

Countless beholders rushed out, and all kinds of magic beams shot everywhere. However, there were no demons stationed here for a long time, only Amberxiu, the lord of the plane.

These intensive magic attacks could not shake the Devil Duke, but he was frozen in place by just a glance from Amberxiu.

After a while, a huge eyeball appeared in the space gate.

The moment he saw the eyeball, Amber felt nauseous and dizzy. Although it was not too obvious, the uncomfortable feeling still surprised him.

Could it be that this Eye Demon Mistress has come in her true form? The effect of this mental disturbance is too exaggerated.

But this did not affect Amber's confidence. Amber said to the big eyeball: "Welcome to my hell, but it seems that the door is still too small. I need to open it a little wider. Would you please come in?"

The pupils of his big eyes contracted, as if he didn't expect Amber to say such a thing.

I came here to invade, but this devil duke just opened the gate?

Is this some conspiracy?

There must be a conspiracy.

Although the Mother of Eye Demons is also a demon, she has a relatively high IQ and complete logical thinking.

Sensing that something was not right, the devil's suspicious nature began to take over.

He glanced around and soon saw Xirik in Amber's hand.

This time, the Eye Demon Mother felt something was wrong even more.

Xirik is the contact person of this joint invasion. How come his clone is in the hands of this devil? If so, all the plans have been known to the other party.

Even though he knew this, this devil still appeared in front of him so calmly.

Something is very wrong.

Didn't Xirik say that this devil had lost most of his divine power? But that wasn't evident from his performance just now.

Could it be that...

At this moment, Amber sighed: "Alas, you are worthy of being the mother of the Eye Demon. You saw through me."

Amberxiu spread his hands, making the space gate even bigger, and the huge body of the Eye Demon Mother appeared on the opposite side of the space gate, like a mountain floating in the chaotic void.

Amber made an inviting gesture, waiting for the powerful demon lord to enter his territory.

The body of the Eye Demon Mother exudes powerful magic power. There is no need to use it deliberately. Countless black lightning appears and disappears around her. That is the effect of the mutual repulsion between the forces of the abyss and hell.

This kind of black lightning slowly appeared on Amberxiu's body. It was the Mother of Eye Demons trying to invade hell with her own power.

The two gods didn't even move a finger, but the battle of power had already begun. After just a moment, the eyeballs of the Eye Demon Mother shrank to the size of a needle tip, and He roared at Xirik: "You are worthy of being the Prince of Lies. I almost fell for your trick!"

After leaving these words, the Mother of Eye Demons issued a silent order, ordering all Eye Demons to quickly retreat from the space gate.

Xirik didn't even react. How could the Mother of Eye Demons leave so easily?

"What on earth did you do?!" Xirik asked Amberxiu angrily.

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "You saw what I did. I invited the Eye Demon Mistress to come in, but He refused to come."

After thinking for a few seconds, Xirik explained to himself: "You scared Him away. Eye Demons are not good things. They bully the weak and fear the strong. When they found that you still possessed the power of the Devil Duke, they did not dare to enter Hell and your kingdom of God."

Amber smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. When you contacted these demon lords, you must have made many promises to them. My weakened power is just one of them. You also told them that no gods would help me, right? Since my power has not weakened, then your previous promise that no other gods would help me might also be false."

Xirik was speechless.

For these demons, if there is even the slightest threat of trust, everything will vanish.

Not only the Mother of Eye Demons thinks so, but other demon lords may also think so.

That's why he vowed that he could make the five demon lords withdraw without using any violent means.

As if to encourage himself, Xirik said loudly: "Impossible, you can't do it!"

"How about taking a gamble? There are four demon lords waiting for me. I believe you know their personalities better than I do. I allow you to speak at any time. When I try to convince them with words, you can refute me. How about this? This condition is already very generous to you, right?"

Xirik now understood why Ambersh's power was so strong. Compared with Zariel, this lich was indeed more like a devil.

He seems to be able to make you an offer you can't refuse at any time.

If he could really refute at any time, then no matter what conditions Amberxiu proposed, Xirik could refute it on the spot, whether by deception or threat. As long as he forced Amberxiu to use violence, he would win. It was such a simple bet, why not give it a try?

"What's the stakes?" asked Xirik.

The prince of lies finally couldn't help but be moved.

"It's simple. If you lose, your priesthood, your wealth, soul and body, everything belongs to me. On the contrary, if I lose, then everything I have belongs to you. Win everything or lose nothing. How about that? It's exciting, isn't it?"

Xirik wanted to agree, but hesitated after hearing about the bet.

He always liked to stay out of things and sow discord. Whether it was rumors or lies, there was always a premise, that is, he would never be involved. But if he made a bet with Amber, he would really have nothing if he lost.

Amberxiu did not give him time to think. He moved to another location in hell and tore open the second space door.

This time, what appeared before his eyes were the six-armed snake demons that surged like a tide, and the six-armed snake demon king Shakatri.

Seeing the demon lord, Xirik suddenly became excited.

Shakatri is not an ordinary demon lord. If you were to ask who in the entire abyss is most keen on participating in bloody battles, it would definitely be Shakatri.

He is the most active demon lord in the blood battle. His bloodline is as ancient as the Lord of Hell. He is the most traditional Tanar'ri demon in the abyss. Therefore, Shakatri is particularly keen to participate in the blood battle and once achieved brilliant results. It is rumored that the reason why the devil dukes in ancient times were renewed was because Shakatri killed them.

He almost captured the Blood River Fortress and can be said to be a role model among demons.

But later I heard that he was ambushed by three mysterious demons, who joined forces with Shakatli's enemies to imprison him, so the demon lord had not been seen in the Blood River Battlefield for a long time.

Shakatri escaped successfully a few years ago. Although he is still very weak, his hatred for the devil must have become stronger.

Xirik had little effort in persuading Shakatri. Shakatri, who came for revenge, would not be scared off by a few words from Amberxiu.

Just when Xirik was about to accept the bet with Amberxiu, Amberxiu first said politely to the Snake Demon Queen: "Beautiful lady, are you ready for me to open the door and welcome you in, or do you want to leave like the Eye Demon Mother?"

Without thinking, Xirik shouted loudly, "Don't listen to this devil. He is deceiving you. Shakatri, hurry up and kill your way into Hell. Other demon lords are trying to invade. As long as you join forces, he will definitely not be your opponent."

The snake demon, whose eyes turned bloodshot after seeing Amberxiu, stopped hesitantly after hearing Xirik's voice.

Amberxiu did not stop Xirek from speaking. Instead, he stretched out his hand and sent the cage containing Xirek to the door of the space, making it easier for Xirek to face the Snake Demon Queen.

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

Shakatli stared at Xirik with her vertical pupils and asked in a low voice: "Is this your plan? Has the Great Matron retreated?"

Shakatri's voice had a unique hoarseness that made one's bones numb, as if countless poisonous snakes were crawling through it. Xirik was only a clone now, and it was difficult for him to bear the pressure, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Facing Shakatli's questioning, Xirik didn't think twice and habitually lied, "The Great Mistress is just watching for the time being. The power of this demon is not as weak as imagined. The Great Mistress has opened up the space and can provide support at any time."

"Is this your plan?!" Shakatri roared again.

The Great Mistress ran away when she saw that something was not right. Now Xirik is trying to trick her into moving forward?

Although the Snake Demon Mother has a higher hatred for the devil, the Demon Lord is not a fool and will not jump into it knowing there is a pit.

How can you fight the Devil Duke who has not been weakened by his divine power and has the power of the entire world? Shakatri has just been released and is still in a weak state. It is no problem to fight a favorable battle, but if you rush into hell alone to face this Devil Duke, Shakatri will be suppressed quickly.

By then, if others don’t know about it, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

Xirik has now come to his senses. He should appease the Snake Demon Queen and dispel her doubts. The best way is to let her wait for a while... Wait, if he does this, won't this devil kill another demon lord? No, he must let the Snake Demon Queen rush into hell, otherwise the other demon lords will choose to wait and see, waiting for others to die first.

In this way, Amber can really eliminate all the demon lords without bloodshed.

The plan went wrong at the very beginning. The remaining strength of Amberxiu was miscalculated, and all subsequent arrangements were misplaced.

Xirik must now make amends.

It is necessary to provoke the anger of the Snake Queen and let her continue to invade with her demons.

"Shakatri, I thought you were the most evil demon, the Lord of the Abyss who hated demons the most, but I didn't expect you to be frightened by such a small danger. It seems that the days you were imprisoned have worn away your sharpness and will. You only need to separate a little strength and create a powerful clone to enter hell, and you will immediately understand that the demon in front of you is just bluffing.

"Perhaps his power has not completely disappeared, but the five demon lords working together, even if they can only create clones, is enough to kill this devil in your hands. He is just a mortal who has just been promoted. Can this scare you so much that you dare not take action? If so, then I shouldn't have cooperated with you in the first place. It is really a shame for the demon lords."

Xirik chose to provoke her. Now he had no more cards to play and could only resort to provocation. He hoped that Shakatri had not completely forgotten the hatred in her heart.

And the provocation was indeed effective. Shakatri's eyes burned with blood-red flames and her anger became real.

Recalling the scenes when he was plotted against by those devil lords, the days of imprisonment and torture, His hatred drove Him towards hell.

Even in a weakened state, Shakatri can still swing the sword, and he is still the most evil demon.

At most, it would just consume a little energy...

The chaotic and warlike nature of the demons prevailed at this time. Not every demon lord was as rational and restrained as the Great Mistress. Most of them were the type who would go berserk after a little bit of trouble.

Xirik could see that his plan had succeeded, and was looking at Amberxiu with pride. Then he heard Amberxiu, who had been silent for a long time, speak: "Snake Demon Queen, although I am a devil and I am hostile to you. But I understand the feeling of being imprisoned and tortured. When I was a mortal, I also experienced countless tortures. Not only the loss of freedom, but also torture and humiliation.

"The prisoners' self-esteem was trampled, and they suffered physically and mentally, so revenge was a natural stance. I understand you very well, really."

Shakatri's squirming body was stunned. What was this devil talking about? Did he think that he would give up his revenge? Shakatri pointed the long knife at Amber's throat and roared, "Put away your eloquence, devil. I won't listen to your nonsense anymore!"

When Xirik saw this scene, he was so excited that he wanted to shout.

Come on, fight, fight now, and this devil won’t dare to be so arrogant anymore.

He was just bragging about being able to repel all demons with words alone.

Just one step away. As long as Shakatli walked into hell and swung a knife at Ambershu, even if she missed, Xirik would win the bet.

But just as Shakatri was about to command the snake demon army behind her to charge, Amberxiu said one last sentence: "Revenge is the right choice, but if the target of revenge is the wrong one, it will be a futile effort. Shakatri, I have just been promoted from a mortal, so your previous imprisonment has nothing to do with me. If you consume a lot of divine power today, how many years will you have to wait before you can take revenge on your real enemy?

"How long will it take for the Demon Lord to recover his original strength? One thousand years, or five thousand years?

"You'll waste your energy and then fall into weakness again. Aren't you afraid that the mastermind will catch you again and imprison and humiliate you again? Perhaps the moment you take action, you'll fall into the trap again."

This time, Shakatri had to stop twisting her tail.

When Xirik saw that something was wrong, he quickly said, "Don't listen to him. No devil will help him. This is his trial!"

Amber Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, no one will help me. That's why other devils never mind using me as bait in exchange for some benefits. Even if I have no power to resist, what can the devil invasion do in the end? Conquer the Blood River Fortress, slaughter the devils on the first floor, and then be driven back by other devil dukes.

"In this process, you just killed a devil who had no grudge against you. Not only did you run the risk of falling into a trap, but you also completely lost the chance of exact revenge."

Shakatri said excitedly: "Damn devil, what are you talking about?!"

Xirik said angrily: "No, don't listen to him!"

However, Shakatri had been attracted by Ambershu's words. She ignored Xirik's call and just stared at Ambershu waiting for his next words, expecting that this devil would say something that she cared about most.

Amberxiu did not disappoint Shakatri and said without hesitation: "Please retreat for the time being. If you are willing to give me this favor, I will find the demons who framed you and help you get revenge."

Shakatri roared, "Why should I trust you, you cunning devil!"

"I'm betting on my honor as the Grand Duke of Demons. You should know that demons value contracts, and you can also inquire about my reputation. I promised Talos that I would offer him a goddess as a bride, and it worked in the end. I promised to build a soul bank for the demons and completely monopolize the soul transactions in hell, which also worked.

"At that time, I was just a mortal. Now I just want to find those devils hiding behind the scenes. As the master of the first layer of hell, can't I do it?"

The devil's promises are never good things, but the conditions thrown out by Amber Xiu are too attractive, and the examples he cited are too convincing.

The fact that Talos married the Kuo-Toa merman goddess was known to all gods, and it was a feat that could be passed down for thousands of years.

Shakatri recalled the various news she had heard, and it was indeed as Amberxiu said, no matter how incredible the things he promised were, they were eventually completed successfully.

This credibility is much better than that of Xirik, or in other words, more trustworthy than any devil.

Shakatri looked at Cyric again, hoping the Prince of Lies would say something.

It’s not that Shakatli wants to give Xirik a chance, but in matters like negotiations, having multiple people bid can always force out more benefits.

However, Cyric was now speechless.

All of Xirik's previous deals were to stay out of the matter and never harm himself. But now, Xirik couldn't offer any bargaining chips, and he couldn't agree to let Shakatri help find the devil who framed him. Even if Xirik was willing to lie, Shakatri would never believe it.

This time, Amber Xiu won again.

What hurt Xirik even more was that before agreeing to cooperate, Shakatri taunted him harshly, saying, "Xirik, you are really just a useless person who talks nonsense. Compared with this fraudulent archduke, you are just a clown."

The Snake Demon Queen cut her palm and threw out a drop of poisonous blood, which mixed with the blood between Amber's fingers.

The devil made a contract with the demon, Shakatri would retreat, and Ambershu would find an enemy for Him and help Him get revenge.

The contract was established and the demon retreated.

The second demon lord then left.

Amber closed the space door and said to the gloomy Xirik, "I don't know what you were busy with just now. Have you forgotten that you haven't signed a contract with me yet? Even if Shakatri really swung the sword at me just now and I suppressed Him directly, you still can't be considered the winner."

Xirik kept silent. Fortunately, the contract was not signed, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Two of the five demon lords have already died, leaving three. Is there still a chance? Amber Xiu seemed to see through Xirik's thoughts. His palm lit up with a fiery red light, and a magical contract was suspended in it. Amber Xiu said to Xirik in a seductive voice: "Yes, there are still three chances. The King of Ghouls, the Demon Prince, and the Doom Girl, what kind of personalities do these three have, and what are their weaknesses? You know better than me, right?

"Three bets. If you win once, I lose. How about signing a contract with me? You better hurry up. The further you go, the lower your chances of winning will be."
