Chapter 697: Chapter 598: Reputation Crisis_3

This was the last resort, and the risks were immense.

"Then let’s make it two insurance policies," he said, "As soon as I complete my deification, I’ll contact you right away. Maybe after joining forces with the other two goddesses, I’ll be able to perfectly control my power. At that time, Rose won’t need to take the risk of entering Hell."

Amberser nodded, naturally preferring this option.

But he also had to prepare for the worst, ensuring a smooth path in Hell for Rose.

Counting on his fingers, Amberser realized he was quite busy; there were several critical matters to attend to: Rose’s treatment plan, settling Hircine’s troubles, and ending the Blood Battle—all urgent yet important tasks.

Amberser was reassuring himself that these could be handled gradually when he suddenly received a message from Hell.

The madwoman Parurier had sent information through the Magic Mirror, a brief message that made Amberser’s scalp tingle.

"Your bank can’t exchange Soul Currency."

Amberser was genuinely startled. He hurriedly tested his own account.

As he expected, the balance had decreased, but the Soul Currency couldn’t be exchanged.

"This..."

Without saying goodbye to Aige, Amberser instantly transferred to the Divine Realm of the God of Alchemy to conduct a thorough check of the Magic Mirror’s main system.

Quickly, Amberser identified the problem.

An odd power was invading the Magic Mirror’s system, spreading something akin to a virus. The effect of this virus was simple: to create an Illusion Realm, making users believe that their Soul Currency balance had been deducted.

Fortunately, this seemed more like a prank altering the display page rather than a genuine system invasion able to modify account deposits. As the Instrument Spirit of the Magic Mirror, Amberser might have been affected before discovering it, but after noticing, it wasn’t a big issue to eliminate this virus.

In just a few minutes, the invasive virus program was thoroughly deleted by him, and additional protection was put in place to prevent similar intrusions.

Having dealt with that, Amberser re-established contact with Parurier, stating, "The problem is solved."

Parurier, however, scoffed, "But your trouble isn’t over. Devils are deeply distrustful patients; how will you resolve this crisis of trust?"

Parurier wasn’t exaggerating. Although just a prank-like illusion technique without causing anyone’s deposit to decrease for real, for devils, one incident could lead to another. This time was fake, but what about the next?

"If Soul Currency could get lost while inside, then why trust the Hell Bank?"

As expected, Amberser noticed a large number of users beginning to withdraw deposits. Even with a high fee, they prefer to take losses just to get all their Soul Currency out.

At the same time, Mammon and other Devils sent messages, questioning the system’s security and demanding Amberser compensate for everyone’s losses.

Looking at the messy messages and the rage-twisted faces of the Archdukes of the Devils, Amberser sneered and sent a uniform reply: "If you don’t want to do it anymore, withdraw your shares. I’ll buy back your stake at the original price, plus an additional twenty percent compensation. However, I can only give you Soul Currency that I personally print."

Did a bunch of opportunistic devils not understand what Hell Bank’s real advantage was?

Bullshit reputation—it’s his, the Deceiver’s, ability to print counterfeit money.

Credit crisis?

Dare to not use the Magic Mirror and handle all cash transactions instead. Amberser guarantees their assets will rapidly devalue, and they’ll go bankrupt one by one.

After sending such direct responses, Amberser didn’t bother considering what the Archdukes of the Devils thought. He was now focused on resolving Hircine’s issue. He thought there was time to wait, but apparently, that was no longer viable. If this guy could plant a virus once, he could do it a second time. His power—specifically designed to create lies and illusions—would cause tremendous chaos; Amberser had to prioritize dealing with him.

"If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Amberser moved his fingers, and the "Shire True Transmission" was uploaded to the Magic Mirror’s reading section, where it began to be recommended on the homepage to ensure everyone opening the Magic Mirror would see the book’s advertisement for a few seconds.

Come on, let’s see if lies are more powerful, or the truth prevails.
