Chapter 597: Chapter 531 His Wish

Miracles are called miracles precisely because they don’t occur in most situations.

Reality was no different, as Amberser’s figure had completely disappeared for a long time, and even the God of Alchemy had not waited for any response from the Magic Mirror.

The Clown Mask showed not the slightest impatience and still waited patiently for Amberser’s response.

Ogma cared not for time, and the task he had given had no time limit. However, it required Amberser’s true response before a final judgment could be made.

The God of Alchemy got a bit impatient and couldn’t help but say, "I am his teacher. Can’t I answer for him?"

The Clown Mask replied, "No, you do not understand your student as much as you think, and the answers you provide cannot represent him."

"I do not understand him?"

The God of Alchemy wanted to object, but he immediately remembered that the Clown Mask represented Ogma, the all-knowing deity.

If Ogma said he did not understand Amberser well enough, he probably really could not represent Amberser in answering the question.

Wait, but it seemed there was a way.

"You mean, as long as I can find his true wish, then I can answer the question for him?"

The Clown Mask laughed and then said, "Most people in the world do not even understand themselves, let alone others. Even deities are no exception."

Faced with this almost rejection, the God of Alchemy gritted his teeth and said, "Then I take it as your agreement."

The God of Alchemy began to ponder, He needed to find someone who could answer the question on behalf of Amberser.

But it was not easy to win over the Clown Mask because the Clown Mask could not be deceived, nor could it be glossed over. It was a manifestation of Ogma’s power, and nobody could fool the Lord of Knowledge.

So, who could take their student’s place and answer the question?

The God of Alchemy could not possibly search every mortal one by one. He could only choose a more efficient method.

The God of Alchemy walked up to the Magic Mirror and placed his hand on this Mirror.

The Magic Mirror in the Divine Realm was the true core entity, and no matter the plane or whose hand they came from, all Magic Mirrors were impacted by this core Mirror.

And all who controlled a Magic Mirror received a strange message at that time: "Based on your understanding of the World-saving Necromancer, if a deity were to grant him a wish, how would he choose?"

Now, all those in possession of a Magic Mirror, many of whom had some connection with Amberser, knew exactly who this World-saving Necromancer was. However, nobody knew who had sent the question.

Therefore, it did not take long for the God of Alchemy to receive a series of replies, most of which were "Who are you?" and "Why are you asking this question?"

There were also a few responses filled with surprise, asking whether Amberser had come back to life and was joking with them.

The God of Alchemy realized he had been too anxious and should have laid some groundwork first. Now, suddenly posing the question, he had aroused doubts in many people.

But it was too late to do anything now. The God of Alchemy could only send another message, directly revealing his identity and stating that this was a test given by the God of Alchemy to all users. Whoever’s response satisfied Him would receive a deity’s reward.

The God of Alchemy did not have Amberser’s ability to concoct flawless lies off the cuff, so posing the question so abruptly, the logic seemed problematic no matter how one looked at it.

However, nobody questioned it.

Once the God of Alchemy’s identity was confirmed, everyone became extremely respectful.

This relieved the God of Alchemy, who almost forgot that there were few mortals in the world who dared to blaspheme a deity. The vast majority of mortals simply did not have the courage to doubt or rebut upon receiving a divine oracle and would focus on how to complete the test given by a deity.

Before long, those who held Magic Mirrors sent their answers one after another.

"If it were that one’s wish, it would undoubtedly be money. He would wish for endless wealth!" This was the reply from Gustavo Flint, the chairman of the Alchemist Association.

The God of Alchemy immediately displayed the answer in front of the Clown Mask. Since there was no stated limit to the number of responses, the God of Alchemy decided to prevail through quantity.

But unfortunately, the Clown Mask shook his head upon seeing this reply: "He is no longer bound by the form of a Lich. Now, free of obsession, he would not simply wish for money."

The God of Alchemy cursed them as useless. Those Alchemists could do anything when causing trouble, but when truly needed, they were all useless.

The God of Alchemy decided to give the Alchemist Association something to suffer, but it would have to wait until after this matter was settled.

The God of Alchemy selected and discarded similar responses, and soon a second reply appeared on the Magic Mirror.

"Perhaps he would wish for world peace, after all, he is recognized by His Majesty Arthur as a Necromancer with a soul as pure and noble as the Holy Light!"

This reply came from Allen Watson, the current acting regent of Laine.

Although it was in praise of Amberser, the God of Alchemy felt Allen was completely fooled by Amberser. His student did not have such lofty thoughts; asking for money was more believable.

But since the first response was denied, the God of Alchemy had no choice but to try this one.

The Clown Mask read the reply and, as expected, shook his head again.

"Your student’s moral outlook may be different from others, but he is not such a great person. Each time he saved the world, it was either out of coercion or convenience, not out of genuine intent."
