Chapter 634: Some people are always the same (congratulations on the completion)

A massive demon invasion of hell ended in an incredible way.

The great, wise, and insightful deceiver Grand Duke won again, just as he had in every previous gamble.

The demon lord was defeated, and no more demons appeared on the Blood River Battlefield. Instead, a million undead armies were permanently stationed on the tributaries of the Styx.

As the demons were defeated, Hell was holding a meeting to discuss whether to build this place into a permanent residence, in order to expand Hell's territory.

Unless something unexpected happens, this conference will not produce any results within a hundred years.

When there is no external pressure, the infighting among the devils is ten thousand times more serious than that among mortals.

However, after this battle, both gods and mortals had to be attracted by the rising star.

The rise of the Deceiver Grand Duke is a foregone conclusion. He has won the priesthood of Cyric, and with this unique live broadcast, with the blessing of the wishes of all living beings, he can be directly deified even if he is a mortal.

This has never been played like this before, and the first person to try it will get the most benefits.

Everyone is guessing to what extent the power of this Devil Duke has expanded. Powerful divine power is only the basic. Some have already speculated that the Deceiver has become the most powerful Devil Duke in Hell, perhaps enough to compete with Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell.

The rise of such a god from the evil camp had to be taken seriously by Heaven Mountain.

As the Lord of Dawn who had been cooperating with Amber, he also became busy, and Losander was urged to find out what the fraudulent Duke's next plan was.

It's not just the angels in heaven who rush into hell, the devils also don't mind rushing into the mountains of heaven to commit massacres.

Even if they didn't invade Heaven Mountain directly, the cunning of this fraudster was enough to make all the gods nervous. What if he was dissatisfied and dug a few traps for the gods? The Lord of Dawn was still immersed in the joy of solving the old enemy Xirik, but after hearing what the other gods said, he also became nervous.

This is not the mortal who could be manipulated at will, but a great being who is on par with the gods.

When he was still a mortal, Ambersu had killed so many gods. Now that he has firmly established himself as the Grand Duke of Demons, it would be truly terrifying if he really planned to harm the gods.

There is also the goddess of fate who just resurrected. She is also an existence that cannot be underestimated. However, after talking with Amber Xiu, the goddess disappeared and no one has any news about her, so no one cares about it for the time being.

Although the Lord of Dawn is a representative of light and integrity, he is not stupid. He will not really go to hell to have tea with Ambersu. Instead, he will take a roundabout way and first find the God of Alchemy to inquire for information.

However, the Lord of Dawn discovered that Amber had been waiting in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy.

And the Lord of Dawn was not the first guest waiting in line for a meeting.

The God of Alchemy poured a cup of tea for the Lord of Dawn and said helplessly, "My student has been a bit busy lately. Demons, elves, undead, goddesses, and even you from Mount Heaven. Now this kid is showing off and doesn't even respect my teacher."

The Lord of Dawn smiled bitterly, he didn't expect such a big change in such a short time.

Two or three years ago, this devil archduke was just a mortal, just one of the names on the wanted list of the Ryan Empire.

However, the Lord of the Dawn watched this mortal man make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand in such a short period of time, and he has come all the way to where he is now. The speed was so fast that even the gods found it incredible.

This is not the time when Io gets angry and lets mortals and gods play battle royale together. It is too difficult for mortals to become gods.

At this moment, Amberxiu, who was being watched by the gods, was also sitting aside, drinking tea and chatting with three friends he hadn't seen for a long time.

They are the goddesses who have just successfully completed the Trinity Ascension Ceremony.

Catherine, the Queen of the Elf, Leila, the Lady of the Mist, and today's God of Freedom, Ege.

Catherine hasn't changed much. She is still as stunning as when she was first seen. Even though she has become the racial god of the drow elves, she has not been polluted by the drow's faith. Instead, she has been able to reverse the drow's vicious nature with her pure soul.

Amberxiu now understood why the elven gods treated Catherine so well. After becoming a god, he saw that Catherine's soul was crystal clear and was a truly flawless treasure. Only such a pure soul could withstand the spiritual pollution of the drow elves.

When they met again after a long separation, the first thing Catherine said was: "I thought you were really dead and cried for several days."

Amber Xiu explained helplessly that if he had not become a god, he really would not dare to see Catherine again, otherwise he would lose his soul if he saw her.

Catherine is always easy to coax. She won’t be angry after a few words of explanation.

As for Leila, the old friend, Amber is even simpler.

"Lila, I promised you that I would send Xirik to you."

Amber took out a crystal ball, inside of which was Xirik who had turned into a mortal.

Leila took the crystal ball with trembling hands, and looked at Xirik who seemed to be still talking inside, and was so excited that she was speechless.

He had waited too long for this day.

The feeling of being pierced by a sharp sword was still so clear, and even the details of Xirik's betrayal reappeared before his eyes.

Xirik was still struggling and opened his mouth to say something.

Amber reminded: "Although he is already a mortal, the power of language can never be ignored. You should know this very well, Leila."

Leila suddenly smiled and said to Amber, "Of course I know. You are the best example."

As they chatted and laughed, Leila channeled her divine power into the crystal ball, turning Xirik inside into a cloud of smoke.

From this moment on, Xirik's body and soul were completely shattered.

Unless someone can obtain the resurrection scroll granted by Io, even the god of death cannot resurrect him.

The two old friends had settled their little matter, and Amber was ready to get straight to the point.

"First of all, congratulations on your successful promotion. I won't ask too much about the Trinity Goddess. However, you all came together today, probably not just to reminisce about the past. I think I am now qualified to ask what the Elf King and the Oak Father are planning."

The three goddesses Catherine, Leila and Aige may be insignificant in themselves, but the power they represent cannot be underestimated.

Needless to say, Amberthur didn't have the confidence to take Corellon's arrow, and there were more than just Corellon among the elven gods. The Oakfather, who had always been a loner, took Lyra under his wing, and then pushed her out to cooperate with the elves. Obviously, he was prepared.

The only one left is Ai Ge, who seems to have no background, but Ai Ge is a member of the Mourning Poets Society. If you really count, Ai Ge's backer is Jaeger, and even the Devil Grand Duke Amberxiu can be considered Ai Ge's backer.

The three goddesses were promoted at the same time, and they shared the divine power and jointly condensed into one priesthood.

What it looks like exactly might need to be kept secret, but Amber Xiu would have to find out carefully why they wanted to cooperate.

Catherine and Lyra didn't say anything, but Aige, who had been silent the whole time, started to explain: "This is actually the elven gods seeking help. Corellon captured Rose again, but many of Rose's subordinates ran away. But Corellon's son Velen ran away, oh, and Corellon's grandson... Anyway, the elves mean that they either don't do it, or solve the problem completely."

Amberxiu understood now and said in surprise: "The Elven Gods still want to expedition to the Abyss to catch these escaped sons and grandsons? No wonder they need allies."

The abyss is very dangerous. Even someone as strong as Corellon will die in it if he is besieged by a large number of demon lords. The Oakfather is undoubtedly a powerful helper. Although I don't know why Silvanus wants to help the elves, I think it's just an exchange of interests, and there is no need to delve into the reasons.

Ai Ge continued to explain: "Yes, the elves need allies. The Oak Father is one of them, and you are the elves' second choice. The Elf God King has a long-term vision. It seems that he knew you would become an important figure since you were still a mortal. I am just an excuse. The elves hope to get help from you, Jaeger and the God of Death through me."

After saying this, Ai Ge couldn't help but laugh at himself.

In the mortal world, he is a hegemon who dominates the ocean, but in the eyes of the gods, he is just a middleman.

But no matter how the elves viewed him, Aige got what he wanted.

The protection of the elves and a test from Io, the final reward is a perfect resurrection scroll.

Aige didn't know how much effort the elves put into this matter, but Corellon must have helped, otherwise Aige, the little god of freedom, might not have been able to get Io to give him this opportunity.

The hope of resurrecting his father is right in front of him, and Ai Ge feels that nothing else matters.

Next, Catherine briefly explained the elves' plan.

If you want to expedition into the abyss, you absolutely need the help of Hell. Amberxiu is naturally an important part of it. The elves have also made preparations. No matter what requests Amberxiu makes, they will try their best to meet them.

After hearing this, Amber Xiu said with some embarrassment: "If I really have the final say in Hell, then I will be happy to help. However, the Lord of Hell may not agree. I led the undead army to invade the abyss before, and we are still fighting now. Hell has been arguing about this for a long time. The Lord of Hell found me not long ago and asked me to behave myself for a while and clean up the mess in Hell."

Catherine asked curiously: "What a mess, didn't you perfectly block the invasion of the demons? Hell didn't lose anything, right?"

"I have printed too much money. The inflation in the Nine Hells is extremely serious. In the past, one or two soul coins could be exchanged for a devil as a slave, but now the price has risen to 500,000. There are already three devil dukes on the verge of bankruptcy in the Nine Hells. If I don't go back to solve this problem, the devils will start a civil war. Therefore, the most I can do is to provide some intelligence support. It is impossible for me to send troops to help directly."

Amberxiu didn't tell any lies this time, he really had seen the Lord of Hell. Even though he had become a powerful god now, there was still a big gap between him and Asmodeus.

Asmodeus also cherishes talents like Amberhu. Even though he sent the entire hell into the vortex of economic crisis, Asmodeus did not punish Amberhu, but just let him deal with the trouble himself.

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

Although Amberxiu did not fully agree to cooperate, he at least promised not to hinder the elves.

This promise carries enough weight, and the elves can finally rest assured.

After bidding farewell to the three goddesses, Amber received the Lord of Dawn with the same courtesy and gave the same answer.

Amber Xiu said directly to the Lord of Dawn: "Don't worry that I will go to great lengths to deal with Heaven Mountain. I am not interested."

The Lord of Dawn felt relieved after hearing this, but couldn't help asking, "There are billions of devils in your hell, and you are a true fraud. It is normal for Heaven Mountain to be worried. You might as well tell me the truth, the newly appointed Grand Duke of Fraud, what exactly are your plans?"

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "You always think too highly of me, but actually I was forced to get to where I am today. Now I am finally relieved. What I want to do is to be a useless person in hell who enjoys his life all day long."

The Lord of Dawn did not quite believe what Amberxiu said, but since Amberxiu said so, the Lord of Dawn could not continue to ask.

Their identities are different now. If I continue to ask questions, it would be equivalent to forcing Amber Xiu to turn against me.

But no matter whether it's true or not, at least Amber Xiu expressed his attitude of not wanting to cause trouble, so Paradise Mountain doesn't have to be so tense.

After all, this fraudulent Grand Duke has one advantage: no matter how much he hides, what comes out of his mouth is always the truth.

Everyone recognized this, and all those who did not believe it and all the gods were in trouble.

The devil who is called a fraud is the most honest devil. This sentence spread and became the most hellish joke in hell.

After discussing the most important matter, the Lord of Dawn asked, "What about the arrangements for Zariel..."

Amber said: "If you are willing to accept him, I can release him now, but doesn't your Heaven Mountain not allow him to enter?"

"As long as He understands His mistakes and sincerely corrects them, that's enough."

Amberxiu shook his head and said, "Lawshanda, we are friends now, so I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It is time to change the rules of your Heaven Mountain. Do you know why there are always so many demons in Hell and why they can never be killed?"

The Lord of Dawn frowned, feeling that what the devil would say next would be very scary.

"Because there are too many sinners?"

Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "It's because the standard for sinners is too broad. Not believing in God is a sin, and believing in God but not being pious is also a sin. Believing in God and being pious enough but not making sacrifices is also a sin... There are so many sinners in hell, and the temptations of the devil only account for a small part of them. The main reason is that the definition of sinners in the world of heaven is too vague.

"It is a sin for a starving child to steal a piece of bread, but if there is a god willing to forgive him, he can go to God's kingdom. If not, he will go to hell. Even worse, he will be put on the wall of unbelievers and disappear completely. Oh my God, even a devil like me finds this outrageous.

"The lawful good camp is always indifferent to the suffering of mortals, calling it a test of their will and character, but do you think you are Io? The world was not created by you, and it is a bit shameless to call it a test without giving it. It is precisely because of this harsh requirement that your Heaven Mountain is indeed full of upright and kind heroes, but it has also caused countless ordinary people to go to hell.

"Instead of worrying about whether I will bring the devil to Heaven Mountain to trouble you, you should think about how to get fewer people to go to hell. You have done a good job, and those evil gods have long since perished due to lack of believers."

The Lord of Dawn seemed to be thinking about something, but the rules that had existed for millions of years were not so easy to change.

It is not necessarily the case that any random change will lead to a positive development as Amber Xiu said.

However, Amber Xiu did not plan to chat too much with the Lord of Dawn. After seeing him off, he said hello to his teacher and returned to hell.

Zariel's bronze palace has been modified by Amber and looks similar to his castle in the mortal world, but the environment inside was arranged by the Dead Rose herself.

After reincarnation, Withered Rose picked up many of her girlhood hobbies again. She piled up a lot of knight novels at home and forced the vampire Herky Stone to update them every day. She also forced the vampire to hire many popular writers to write novels specifically for Her Majesty the Queen.

Melina simply settled down in hell, wandering around with her army of devils every day. She would directly seize the territory of any devil she disliked. All the devils in Avernus knew that she was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Fraud, so they could only allow herself to be ravaged.

Amberxiu sat on the golden throne of the Great Library, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

I didn’t expect that I could give such a perfect ending to the story.

At this time, Withered Rose walked up to him and asked, "Mammon is urging us again, saying that the bank can't hold on any longer and soul coins are becoming less and less valuable."

Amber Xiu said nonchalantly: "It's simple, it's just inflation."

Boundless divine power gathered on Ambershu. At this moment, the figure of the Deceiver Grand Duke appeared in the Nine Hells at the same time, and appeared in front of every Devil Grand Duke.

All the prominent devils in the Nine Hells were looking at Him nervously. All devils knew that the Grand Duke of Deceiver was going to take steps to solve the problem of inflation in Hell.

Mammon kept rubbing his palms together, hoping to solve the problem immediately.

Amber smiled and said to his colleagues: "Don't worry, inflation can be quickly resolved as long as you do three things well."

Almost all the demons asked the same question: "Which three?"

Amber Xiu said slowly: "Increase taxes, increase taxes, and increase taxes. Let these criminals see what real exploitation is. Everyone, follow me and I guarantee that you will become as rich as before."

The Withered Rose looked at Amber's confident look and couldn't help but smile brightly.

Some people always remain the same, even if they become gods, they still look the same.

Finished, let's celebrate! Thank you for your support, Fat Cat would like to express his gratitude!

I guess there will be another one or two chapters to explain the remaining side quests, but I’ll have to take a break before I talk about it.

As for the new book, I will work on it after I recover from my illness. You can join the book club "149557639" and the new book will be announced in the group.
