This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 83 Soul Surgery

Amberson doesn't want to fight James Watson at this time.

 With a complete legion of paladin, even if he has the help of Apoptotic Rose, this battle will be shattering and the outcome will not be determined within three to five days.

On the one hand, it is useless to fight, and on the other hand, it is meaningless. Fighting with these holy warriors will only lead to pure losses.

“An entire legion of paladins has arrived from the Lion Empire. A head-on confrontation will not do us any good, so we should hide in the sewers first.”

 Amber Xiu’s suggestion is very reasonable and logical, and it is also the choice to maximize interests.

 However, Apoptotic Rose said: "Since they are going to die, how can I avoid fighting?"

Amberxiu's soul fire jumped, and when the words of persuasion came to his lips, he finally swallowed them.

The group of religious lunatics in the Lion Empire screamed and rushed up when they saw the undead. Apoptotic Rose was not just another kind of madman. When facing the Lion Empire, the Queen of the Undead would also lose her mind.

Amberxiu suddenly said to Gary Watts: "President, how many puppets are there in the Alchemy City? Can you control them?"

Gary Watts said: "It was originally to ensure safety, so there was no unified controller designed during manufacturing, but if necessary, I can make a master controller."

 “Do it now?” Amberxiu asked in surprise.

Gary Watts said confidently: "Yes, it won't take much time to do it now."

Amberxiu said quickly: "Let's get started. You hand over the control of all the puppets to Ms. Rose, and I will help you realize your dream."

"make a deal."

 Gary Watts agreed immediately without hesitation.

Apoptotic Rose looked at Amber Xiu in surprise and asked, "You want to give me all the demon puppets in the Alchemy City?"

Amberxiu nodded and said: "Just think of it as the employment fee for asking for your help this time. We still have big business to discuss in the future, and we can't let you suffer any harm."

Apoptotic Rose looked at Amber Xiu, smiled and said: "You forgot, I am a lich, and... forget it, I understand what you mean."

Amberxiu:? ? ?

 What do you understand?

Amberxiu really just doesn’t want anything to go wrong with this great patron. The Lich will not die unless its phylactery is broken, but if its body is damaged, will it affect the rule of the Apoptotic Rose in the Underdark? If the rich woman's power is affected, the cooperation may fall through.

Just looking at Apoptotic Rose's expression, she seemed to understand that was not the case.

But there is no time to talk in detail now. Gary Watts has already made the controller while the two of them were chatting.

This thing is extremely simple to operate. You only need to hold this controller to give commands directly through voice, and it is directly synchronized to all the puppets in Alchemy City.

This bad old man doesn't know how many backdoors he has left in the puppet.

Apoptotic Rose gave Amber Xiu a meaningful look, and then walked down the tower with her guards.

 Ambrose then said to Gary Watts: "Let's go, let's go to the sewers now and help you realize your wish."

Gary Watts was about to take the unconscious Naomi away, but Amberxiu said: "No, you can't use this girl, and it's just a waste of time to take her with her."

"She is the most important part of the experiment. My soul is not enough to be promoted to the realm of gods." Gary Watts said seriously.

“I said I can help you, don’t forget, I am the real expert in understanding the soul.”

 Amberson's words made Gary Watts hesitate for a moment.

  Reason told him that it was safest to follow his own plan, but for some reason, when he looked at the unconscious Naomi again, Gary Watts suddenly felt unbearable.

 Humanity has not completely faded from his soul, so he will pity the child Naomi.

 But it is precisely because of this humanity that he needs to sacrifice Naomi in exchange for the transformation of his soul.

 Gary Watts had no choice before, so he convinced himself that Naomi had to die. But now, Ambrose has raised the second possibility. Gary Watts's suppressed humanity seems to have found a point of support and begun to affect the soul that should be absolutely rational.

Gary Watts felt like he was about to split into two personalities.

 Gary Watts' translucent body began to flicker continuously, and it took a while before it calmed down.

 “You almost destroyed my will.” Gary Watts finally showed his anger, and he said to Ambrose with a distorted face: “You’d better tell the truth.”

"Of course, I won't give up an artifact for a druid girl. Let's go, we don't have much time."

Gary Watts reopened the blocked window, and Amberxiu also equipped himself with flying skills. The two of them floated out of the window and flew toward the sewer as fast as possible. Just when the two left the tower, the army of the Apoptotic Rose had already started a war with James Watson's paladin army.

Judging from the scene, Apoptotic Rose's undead army is at a disadvantage.

On one side is the well-trained paladin army. The power of the Holy Light naturally restrains the undead. On the other side, the large troops are placed outside the city. There are only a few death knights and a bunch of newly refined zombies around them. They are indeed no match.

It's just that Apoptotic Rose's troops have a numerical advantage and can still sustain it for the time being.

Amber Xiu glanced at it with some concern, but did not dare to linger. The sooner he was done, the safer the Apoptotic Rose would be.

 The two of them flew all the way and quickly entered the sewer.

 At this time, the prayer ritual has been fully activated, and the environment in the sewer has become weird.

Gary Watts saw Amberxiu stop and quickly urged: "Let's go, the core of the ritual magic circle is not far ahead, don't waste time here."

 Having regained some of his humanity, he became very emotional at this time, and his tone of voice became anxious and rough.

Amber Xiu said: "What's the use of removing the core now? To complete this ritual, your soul transformation is the key. I will help you solve this problem now."

Gary Watts listened and said in a mocking tone: "Now, here? How many years of hard work did I spend to develop this ritual magic circle, which can eliminate the humanity in the soul through sacrifice. It has only been a few days since you guessed my plan, and now you are still in a weak state that has just been reborn. What can you do to solve this problem? "

"I said, I am the expert when it comes to souls. Shut up, let go of your soul, and let me operate it."

Amberson reached out his hand and grabbed Gary Watts' body.

Gary Watts instinctively wanted to dodge, but quickly suppressed this urge. The ritual magic circle has reached its most important moment, and there is no time to delay it any longer. Since he chose to believe in Amber Xiu, he could only go to the dark side.

 Gary Watts closed his eyes and let Amber Shoe put his hand inside him.

Just when Ambrose's hand touched the translucent soul body, countless black threads that were thinner than a hair emerged from his palm and quickly spread throughout Gary Watts's body.

Ambrose's palm seemed to have become Gary Watts' heart, and those threads were new nerves and blood vessels, completely controlling Gary Watts' soul.

"This...this feeling...you are modifying my memory?! No, no, you are modifying my soul!" Gary Watts said in surprise.

Amberxiu explained: "Yes, I can transform at the soul level. Not only can I transform the memory, but I can also change the characteristics of the soul. This is my legendary ability, to create the soul. Originally, I could only fabricate it out of thin air. I have a blank soul with a worrying IQ, but after these years of research, I have roughly mastered the characteristics of the soul, and how to modify it to get the special soul I want. This is a small trick that I have practiced thousands of times. Had surgery.

“Eliminate humanity and evolve into a god. Although I haven’t tried this method yet, the principle is the same.”

 Ambrose explained that the black threads emerging from his palms continued to swim and intertwine like living creatures, and began to change Gary Watts' soul body into another form.

His head and limbs began to melt like wax, and then split into several tentacle-like forms. The illusory skeleton began to dissipate, and the body no longer looked like any human being. Gary Watts' soul changed from human form to Completely transformed into a jellyfish.

　　“This feeling…is not wrong…I am evolving…and it’s better than I calculated…”

Gary Watts's voice came from the soul again, but it had become calmer and no longer as violent as before.

Amberxiu's body was trembling, and he could no longer maintain the effect of the transformation spell, and turned into a skeleton again.

Although the ability to create a soul is very powerful, Gary Watts' soul is too strong. In the past, pinching the soul was just as difficult as playing with mud, but now he has to carve it on diamond, and it is still micro-carving, which is a hundred times more difficult. .

 Coupled with the fact that Amber Xiu is now in a weak state, he must concentrate on completing this soul transformation operation.

But no matter how focused he was, the success rate of this operation was only 5% in Amber's opinion.

 The black silk thread suddenly began to tremble crazily, like a mess of threads, starting to get entangled with each other.

Gary Watts also let out a shrill scream. The pain caused by the distortion of his soul was far more terrifying than the torture his body endured. At this moment, he felt as if he had been delayed hundreds of times.

 “Bear it!” Ambrose said loudly.

 One by one, the dice of fate appeared around Amber Xiu. These dice were not made of magic power or any kind of substance, but were woven from the untouchable threads of fate. Under the control of Ambrose, the Dice of Destiny began to spin crazily, and then continued to pour into the body of Gary Watts, who had turned into a jellyfish.

Amberxiu wants to change the future of failed surgeries and replace every mistake with success.

 And he believed he could do it.

 The prophecy fragment shows that the Amber Order will conduct a prayer ceremony in the sewer. Therefore, this soul transformation operation will definitely succeed. If it fails, Amber Xiu will have run away long ago and will not be able to stay in the sewer.

 What Amber Xiu has to do now is to believe in fate and the power that he has abandoned.
