Chapter 683: Chapter 593: The Ultimate Level of Lies_3

"But if you read the ’Shire True Transmission’ before reading the ’Shire Scripture,’ then even Ogma can’t save the mortal who has been brainwashed by this evil scripture."

Amberser felt a cold sweat break out over him as he listened.

What kind of horrific thing was this, too outrageous even for a devil to concoct.

Even a Deity could be hypnotized; this ’Shire Scripture’ was truly sinister beyond measure.

The Lord of Knowledge, Ogma, detested this kind of evil knowledge that disrupted the balance of the world the most; no wonder he was sworn enemies with Hircine.

However, as the conversation reached this point, Amberser still didn’t understand the connection to Hircine becoming insane... wait, do even the deities who have read the ’Shire Scripture’ regard Hircine as the Supreme God?

Amberser asked with shock, "Hircine read this scripture himself, and then... was brainwashed by it?"

He felt insane just by asking this question.

It was like the Lord of the Dawn being burned by the Holy Light, the God of Alchemy poisoning himself with a potion, the Magic Goddess blowing up her own hair with a Small Fireball... all these things sounded ridiculous.

Yet, the Lord of the Dawn looked at Amberser with an approving gaze.

"Correct, you are indeed much smarter than the average mortal. Hircine also read this book and then he was brainwashed. When He originally created the ’Shire Scripture,’ His intention was to turn all deities into His fanatical devotees, so even the gods with strong Divine Power could be affected by the ’Shire Scripture.’

"However, He overplayed His hand and couldn’t resist the hypnotic effects of the scripture Himself. Therefore, Hircine came to believe He was Aeo, even an existence surpassing Aeo. He also believes that All Gods are puppets created by Him, acting on His commands."

After listening to the Lord of the Dawn’s explanation, Amberser had no words to describe the Prince of Lies.

This was what was called the highest realm of lying—believing one’s own lies!

"So, I am facing someone who considers himself the Supreme God with immense Divine Power, and this scroll I hold is greatly alluring to Hircine."

Amberser finally understood why the Lord of the Dawn repeatedly emphasized the danger of this object, as well as why he felt the scent of blood and wind coming from the scroll.

If Hircine targeted him, He would indeed use every method to deal with him.

Moreover, this guy thinks he’s the Supreme God, so He might not play by Aeo’s rules when using dirty tricks. Whether Aeo would squash him wasn’t certain, but Amberser would definitely have to endure a severe blow.

Amberser quickly looked at the man radiating with endless Holy Light and said excitedly, "Great Lord of the Dawn, you wouldn’t just watch as Hircine goes after a righteous and kind mortal like me, would you?"

"Ha ha ha!" The Lord of the Dawn let out a hearty laugh, then said, "That’s precisely why I sought you out. I shall grant you the protection of the Holy Light and help you against Hircine. It’s just that I haven’t figured out Hircine’s purpose yet.

"In the past, He was merely trying hard to act as the clown of the Supreme God, and at least His actions were somewhat traceable, but recently, He seems to have become a lot calmer. His madness is no longer so apparent, and His actions are becoming more and more incomprehensible. I suspect that Hircine might be regaining His sanity.

"Mortal, this is our common enemy. I hope you can help find out what’s going on with Hircine. Just catch one slip, and I, Tyr, Ogma, Mistrall, and Kranvo will take action to end this madman once and for all."

Amberser frowned and said, "What makes you think I can do that?"

The Lord of the Dawn replied very solemnly, "You can, because only you are considered to be the successor of the Prince of Lies. Right now, all you lack is an opportunity. If your lie can deceive Hircine, then His Deity Position will completely lose its Power, and He will never be able to hide in the shadows again.

"Be confident. Your skill in lying has already been personally verified by many deities, hasn’t it?"

Amberser:...

Why did that sound like an insult from the Lord of the Dawn?

Yet, since Hircine had already set his sights on him, Amberser couldn’t just sit back and wait for doom.

He would absolutely not let go of the Aeo’s Resurrection Scroll; Prince of Lies, huh? We’ll see who can out-deceive whom.

But before that, Amberser needed to understand more about this Prince of Lies.

It was said that Hircine had also once been the Grim Reaper?

It seemed like it was time to go back and have a chat with Yeg; he also needed Yeg to give an explanation for being kicked out of the Elegy Poetry Society.
