Chapter 488: Chapter 450 You’re Finally Crazy

When the name of the Goddess of Wealth was mentioned, Amberser immediately perked up with interest.

As a friend of merchants, a goddess of trade, and a protector of traders, the Goddess of Wealth Wojin had been the one Amberser most anticipated to be chosen by, second only to the Magic Goddess these past years.

But now, having given up all hope with the Magic Goddess, Amberser had found himself wanting to meet this Goddess of Wealth.

Regrettably, despite the years, he never had the chance to see her descend and chat with him.

Curiously, Amberser asked, "What exactly happened to the Goddess of Wealth? Teacher, you’ve said before that I should have been chosen by Her by now."

The God of Alchemy explained, "She is asleep. Long ago, she was captured by a powerful Abyssal Demon. After a prolonged imprisonment, she barely managed to escape. Although she later took revenge on that Abyssal Demon, she fell into slumber due to the loss of her divine power. The business dealings in the Prime Material Plane haven’t developed much these years, and it’s related to Wojin’s slumber."

Amberser asked with confusion, "Then how did you find Her?"

"You don’t need to concern yourself with that." The God of Alchemy seemed not too keen to discuss this topic, merely telling Amberser, "I am working on a way to awaken Her. And I need you to continue developing your commercial empire. Your proposed Alchemy Factory plans for Kingdoms have exceeded the original rules of this world and are of great help to Wojin."

"I can sense that Her power is reviving, she is just a little short of awakening."

Amberser had never imagined the Goddess of Wealth had been imprisoned by Abyssal Demons; such an event wasn’t recorded in any book.

Furthermore, the God of Alchemy didn’t mention how he became acquainted with Wojin at all, so Amberser began to wonder if he was involved in the event of Wojin’s coma—could it have been his foul play?

After all, neither Amberser nor his master the God of Alchemy were good people; both were equally unburdened when it came to tricking people and deities.

However, since the God of Alchemy said as much, all Amberser could do was believe him, and he agreed to the plan.

"I will soon negotiate with the Hell Lords, hopefully the exchange of Soul Currency will also provide the power necessary for the Goddess of Wealth’s recovery."

The God of Alchemy nodded and said, "Of course, any business transaction holds the same essence, whether it’s gold or souls that are being traded. But this time, try not to win twice by yourself; it is better to have a real win-win. After all, Wojin wishes for business activities to thrive, not for a capitalist to monopolize every industry."

"That makes it a bit hard for me," said Amberser, slightly dissatisfied.

The God of Alchemy rolled his eyes at Amberser and said helplessly, "You find it hard to engage in mutual benefit? Listen to yourself. At this rate, Wojin won’t choose you as her Chosen."

"Alright, I’ll try my best."

Amberser knew he was asking for a favor and couldn’t afford to be too excessive.

So this time, he would try to achieve a true win-win.

"One last question, Teacher, do you know how to locate this Shrimp-head Goddess? It must be difficult to find a deity hiding in the Divine Realm," Amberser asked his final question.

The God of Alchemy nodded and said, "Indeed, I only know that Her Divine Realm is in the Water Elemental Plane, which is a vast world. It’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint Her location. However, it’s not impossible. After all, if I have a direction, I can invent an Alchemical Artifact to solve the problem."

"That impressive?" Amberser said in surprise.

"You think I just lie around here every day? As alchemy concepts evolve and divine power grows, I can naturally do more," the God of Alchemy retorted.

Amberser quickly asked, "Couldn’t you create an artifact that just bags and snatches the Koutao Mermaid Goddess right over here?"

"Would you like me to just craft a Divine Nature of a God above Gods for you while I’m at it?" The God of Alchemy said disdainfully.

"I wouldn’t refuse if you were willing," said Amberser.

"If I had such a thing, do you think I’d give it to you?!" The God of Alchemy decisively cut off communication.

After saying goodbye to the God of Alchemy, Amberser didn’t rest. The main event was coming up; it was time to have a chat with the Grand Dukes of Hell he hadn’t seen for a long time.

A large-scale blood sacrifice was required to summon Goddess Tiamat, while for Zariel, it was enough to place Princess Melina in the center of the Summoning Magic Circle.

Withered Rose had mentioned to Amberser that the location for the Alchemy Factory in the Fury Tide Kingdom had been decided, and it was time for her to visit as well.

Gold Coin Island had already established a Teleportation Circle directly to the Fury Tide Kingdom; thus, Amberser teleported straight to the long-missed island.

The Fury Tide Kingdom seemed much the same as before, but the ceremonious welcoming troop was somewhat grand. Eyeing the imposing army, Amberser was somewhat surprised; they appeared more spirited.

Withered Rose and Airel stood shoulder to shoulder, the two strikingly beautiful women with their distinct charm were particularly noticeable.

Amberser didn’t want to spoil the mood and approached with the appearance of a black-haired youth to greet them.

Having seen this guise before, Airel was not taken aback, instead, seeming quite relieved.

Working with a Lich didn’t sound respectable, and not all within the Tide Fury Kingdom were amenable. However, both Withered Rose and Princess Melina’s appearance was quite appealing, quieting some of the dissent toward the Undead.

One cannot blame humans for judging by appearances; in the absence of familiarity, appearances set the first impression.
