This Lich Needs More Money

"Working for hell? Are you crazy? Those devils are more vampire-like than vampires. You want me to work for hell. Do you want me to sell my soul?"

Herky Stone felt that Amber was cheating him. One of the main reasons why many people transform into immortal souls is that they don't want to go to hell. If they can go to the kingdom of God, who would want to be an undead?

"Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to go to hell, but 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 contract seems to make a lot of money but actually loses a lot!"

Herky Stone has lived for so many years, how could he not know what the devil is.

What's the old saying about asking for a large sum of money but ending up with a family death pension? There's also the old saying about asking for a wife but the devil himself transforms into a woman, and on the wedding night, he counter-pressures the man and makes him pregnant and gives birth to a little coward.

Anyway, there are endless ways to cheat people. If you believe in a devil, your life is really over.

Amber was speechless. Those devils had such a bad reputation that even he himself was not trusted.

But Amber still said to Heki Stone: "Don't you understand what a way out is? If you are really sacrificed, as long as your soul is not broken, you will definitely go to hell. Find a backer in hell in advance, so that when you really go to hell, you can suffer less torture."

Heki Stone opened his mouth and found that he could not refute.

Heki Stone said puzzledly: "You are also in hell now? Which devil is controlling you now?"

Amber's resurrection was too mysterious. Most people didn't even know what happened to him. Heki Stone thought that the God of Alchemy saved him, so why did he suddenly say that he went to hell?

Amber did not explain too much, 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 great dukes of hell?" Heki Stone said puzzledly: "I have never heard of it. Demons also share slaves? If they quarrel, who do you listen to?"

Amber replied calmly: "They usually listen to me."

Heki Stone: ...

This guy is actually waiting for me to ask this question, deliberately showing his superiority.

But Heki Stone didn't even think of refuting, because he already knew Amber very well. As long as this guy brags in front of him, 99% of it is true, at least on the surface.

No matter what the truth is, Amber must be doing well in hell.

Damn, why am I not 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 everywhere.

Heki Stone was very jealous, but he said, "Old friend, if I go to hell, you must protect me."

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm ready. If you want to do well in hell, you don't have to follow those hell dukes. I have a contract here. The conditions are very generous. You don't even need to pay anything. You will only be locked in my territory when you have to go to hell."

Amber Xiu took out a hell contract and handed it to Heki Stone.

Heki Stone took it with doubts. After checking it repeatedly, he found that there were really no restrictions on the content of the contract. The only one was that when Heki Stone died accidentally, his soul would definitely fall into hell and fall into the hands of the hell lord specified by Amber Xiu.

But when he saw the name of the hell lord, Heki Stone said in shock: "Melina?! You sent your daughter to hell?! Are you crazy!" However, Heki Stone looked at the others and found that he was the only one shocked. "You all... know that Melina went to hell?" Amber waved his hand and said, "Calm down, it's not what you think..." He was ready to explain, but Heki Stone picked up the contract and signed his name. Amber said unexpectedly: "You agreed to it?" "You even sent your daughter to hell, you must be plotting something." Heki 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." Amber didn't know what to say. This time it was really not a conspiracy. If Melina hadn't touched hell herself, Amber wouldn't let her take risks. However, since Heki 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, and it is the embodiment of the law of hell.

Melina originally did not have the ability to sign a contract with others, but now she is an official lord of hell, with the same authority as other devil lords.

At the moment of signing the contract, Heki Stone felt that something was added to his mind, and the devil's contract began to take effect, and his soul had been locked. Once Heki Stone died, he would appear directly in Melina's territory, unless Melina lost her lord authority before that, or was killed by someone else.

After signing the contract, Heki Stone seemed to have changed, and said to Amber Xiu with a smile on his face: "Now, we are really friends on the same boat, and you should tell me what you are plotting in hell."

It was not just Heki Stone who was curious. Aige couldn't help but look at Amberxiu and asked, "Yes, you suddenly let Melina occupy a piece of territory in hell. What is the reason?"

Amberxiu 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, and I am far from being on par with the gods."

"Become a god?" Aige said in surprise, "Did you feel the call of Io?"

At the beginning, Aige felt the call of this god-level god, and with the help of Amberxiu, she successfully solved the obstruction of the Kou Tao fish goddess, which was considered to have completed the test given to her by Io.

Therefore, as long as Aige accumulates enough power, she can successfully become a god, because she has already passed the test.

Amberxiu can't be a subordinate god to the god of alchemy. If he wants to become an independent god, he must get the nod of Io.

However, Amber shook her head and said, "It is precisely because Io has always looked down on me that I need to consider finding a way from hell. Haven't you heard of the term "quasi-god power?"

Aige shook her head. In addition to living longer, she was the least knowledgeable of the four people present. After all, she usually just lay in the sea and rarely studied other things.

It was Heki Stone who reacted and said in disbelief, "You want to borrow the laws of hell, you want to become the lord of the Nine Hells?"

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 control is not weaker than that of gods. They rely on the laws of hell. The masters of the Nine Hells are all of this type. They do not rely on priesthood or faith, but rely on the authority shared 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 is because they are quasi-god powers and are much less restricted by Io. If other gods want to interfere in the mortal world, there are many rules and restrictions. The devil only needs mortals to sign the contract willingly, and can also steal, rob, kidnap, and cheat.

"I guess the poet is also a race of quasi-divine power, but I don't know what his specific identity is."

The rules of hell are stricter than those of the main material plane, but also clearer.

Especially in the first layer of Avernus, because of the existence of the Blood River Battlefield, it is easier and more direct to obtain power here. If you have made enough contributions on the battlefield, Zariel's position may be replaced by you.

However, this is very difficult, which is almost equivalent to killing Demogorgon's body and completely destroying one layer of the abyss. This is likely to match Zariel's accumulated military exploits over many years of fighting.

Amber Xiu is not greedy. He has never thought of directly seizing the power of a certain layer 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 get rid of the control of the goddess of fate.
