Chapter 633: Chapter 558 It’s hard to be a good person_2

Mammon no longer asks how much the bank earns but instead inquires which Hell Lord from the Third Level of Hell has not yet taken a loan from him.

He does not permit the existence of any lord who does not owe him money, everyone is indebted, everyone remains a slave, no matter how hard they struggle internally, they are forever slaves.

How wonderful this feeling is!

Seeing this situation, Mammon’s "friends" also began to intensify their promotion of the Hell Bank and the accompanying Magic Mirror system. The Nine Layers of Hell quickly began to be corrupted by Amberser, to the extent that the God of Alchemy had to put down his research and work overtime to upgrade the Magic Mirror; otherwise, Amberser would truly become a statue overloaded with operations, struggling even to maintain the capability to think.

Amberser was originally supposed to promote these in the first layer of hell, not just heavily invest in Melina’s territory.

But for some reason, Zariel seemed completely distracted by something else recently and paid no attention to this promotion. Without the help of this ruler of the first layer, relying solely on Amberser’s promotion was limited; he couldn’t drag the other lords into the vortex of debt, so Amberser had no choice but to continually fund Melina’s territory.

If this continues, Amberser will have to increase taxes in Melina’s territory, otherwise the punishment of Hell Law will soon arrive.

"What on earth is Zariel thinking?"

Amberser was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do; after all, the first layer of hell belonged to Zariel. If this Fallen Angel truly created obstacles, there was really nothing he could do but wait and let time slowly work its magic.

"If it really comes to that, let Melina wage war on other territories. War can also halt the punishment of Hell Law and force other Hell Lords to take loans for the war."

Expanding influence was essential to quelling the Blood Battle; the premise was that hell had enough influence to affect the course of the war.

Then, Amberser would have the credentials to declare an end to this war.

However, many tasks still demanded his attention. The God of Alchemy was almost done decrypting the technology of the Hell Engine, and the concept of alchemy was soon to be further expanded. This was a critical period. Perhaps mastering the technology of hell wouldn’t enable the God of Alchemy to directly enter a higher divine power, but with the Magic Mirror’s influence in hell, the God of Alchemy would receive a significant boost and become one of the strongest among those with intermediate divine power.

Interestingly, each upgrade of the God of Alchemy also brought about a new era of "alchemy."

This was different from other deities; when other deities upgraded, they just became more powerful themselves, perhaps bringing some benefits to their followers or race.

For example, if Sylvanas became stronger, the druids who worshipped Sylvanas would gain enhancements in casting, and various natural spells would become more powerful. The same goes for the Lord of the Dawn; if he gets stronger, the Paladin’s Holy Slash would also become more potent. If a racial god upgrades, perhaps the newborns of the race will become healthier and more talented.

But the influence of these deities ultimately had its limits. The technological upgrades of the God of Alchemy were completely different.

Because alchemy products are not choosy about users, everyone can use them. Everyone knows the impact of the Magic Mirror created after the last upgrade.

No matter whether you are human or devil, the Magic Mirror is usable, which is why the scope of alchemy upgrades becomes so vast.

Once the new "technology" of the God of Alchemy can achieve the impact of the Magic Mirror, the God of Alchemy will once again expand its influence, and its divine power will surge.

Like a snowball effect, this upgrade speed would be astonishingly fast.

But if the impact of this technology is unimpressive, then alchemy would again fall into a long period of stagnation. The God of Alchemy cannot slowly upgrade like the Lord of the Dawn by expanding its followers; without the emergence of a genius to break through this bottleneck, the deity would forever remain just outside the threshold of greater divine power.

A Concept God is a double-edged sword, one cannot only reap the benefits without any setbacks.

However, Amberser had faith in the God of Alchemy; this teacher, like him, came from impoverished backgrounds, understanding profoundly what life at the bottom was like. Alchemy truly impacts the lower levels; it is an innovation in productivity from the bottom up. Only by standing on this point can alchemy continue to develop.

Amberser was now waiting for the God of Alchemy to complete this upgrade while also awaiting changes on the hell side, such as the enemies he anticipated.

It had been two months since Amberser publicly declared his intention to end the Blood Battle. Aside from those hot-headed youngsters who came forward shouting for war, he had indeed reconciled with some of his foes.

The strongest among them were the group of Tifflin nobility from the Impure Chant of the past.

Amberser teamed up with Mr. Misfortune and sold these several million Tifflins in one go, swindling them severely just before sending them to hell. The soul currency scraped together by these Tifflin nobles upon arrival in hell was taken by Zariel, turning millions of nobles into paupers.

A large portion was sent to the worm pit, chewed up, digested, and re-emerged transformed into various lesser devils, but rulers like Domino Lauri were different. These former members of the Tifflin Council chose the easiest way, sacrificing their own family members.

With a family of over ten thousand, Domino Lauri, the former Hell Knight, swiftly initiated the sacrifice of her family members once she realized she had been duped. She was familiar with the ways of devils, thus rapidly transforming these relatives into soul currency. After submitting it to Zariel and mitigating some of the punishment, she underwent a series of tortures and was transformed into a Succubus.
