Chapter 719: Chapter 608: Amberser’s Principles for Life_3

"The same, using a blood sacrifice to cast the Wishing Spell, once you succeed, this plan will be passed down, and the world will be burdened with more knowledge that desecrates the Deity by harming life."

Alchemy’s biggest problem is not its own danger, but its replicability.

A mage casting a spell still depends on their own level of intelligence, otherwise, even understanding the principles of the spell won’t work, and casting could blow oneself up.

Alchemy is different, it is purely replicable technology.

Seth Yuri, relying on self-taught alchemy, and with the help of the goblins, managed to improve the entire structure of the Magic Array without the help of a Legendary Alchemist.

Even with Moradin’s blessing, the greater reason was still alchemy’s replicable nature.

Once this thing was successful, and it got passed down, it would be continuously improved, sooner or later it would revert to its original state, and might even undergo optimized upgrades.

Continuously sacrificing, continuously casting the Wishing Spell, as long as you have power and authority, you can try what it feels like to be a deity. This technology is simply too terrifying, if left unchecked, it will only destroy this world.

Amberser had already anticipated the outcomes of them using the Wishing Spell, either Ogma would directly slap everyone to death, or the spell would fail and backlash would fall on everyone.

Amberser patiently explained, and Seth Yuri turned pale, completely unprepared for such a conclusion.

"But why haven’t the Gods warned me?"

Seth Yuri had been preparing for this for a long time, if it really could lead to failure, why didn’t the dwarf Gods give any hint?

Amberser said flippantly, "Perhaps, you are not the only Godfavored. Seth, the deity would not place all bets on one mortal, instead, they let a group of Godfavored work towards a common goal, using various methods, and as long as one person fulfills their command, it’s enough.

"As for who ultimately wins, it actually doesn’t matter."

Seth Yuri was stunned for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and said joyfully, "So that’s how it is, thank you for clarifying. Even if I fail, it won’t affect the Gods’ plans, so I can be relieved."

Amberser shrugged; such a response did not surprise him, he had seen plenty of fanatics.

Amberser turned to look at Gustavo Flint, and said to the elder with deeply furrowed brows, "Old friend, do you see now, your lifetime of acting can’t compare to the genuine emotions of a fanatic."

Gustavo Flint’s face flashed with panic, but he immediately denied, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Amberser sighed, then said to Seth Yuri, "Seth, let’s the two of us old men talk privately for a bit."

Seth Yuri smiled slightly, graciously vacating the secret room. Although a bit disheartened, his gains today were by no means small; although this Master Ultraman prevented him from using the Wishing Spell to kill the Dwarf King, he did not object to his assassination plan. In the worst case, he would just change the method.

He believed this master could be reasoned with, and with his help, perhaps there would be a simpler way to resolve the issue of the Vampire Dwarf King.

Seth Yuri was very patient, they could always talk more later.

Now, only Gustavo Flint and Amberser were left in the room, looking eye to eye. Gustavo Flint, uncomfortable under Amberser’s gaze, couldn’t help but ask, "What do you really want? I’ve already given you everything!"

"Come on, we’ve known each other for not a short time, I understand you quite well. You’ve never been the big-hearted type, you are selfish, jealous, vindictive, just like me... We both are people who can’t control our desires.

"I died twice, twice! Even death couldn’t change my nature; how could people like you and me suddenly experience an epiphany?

"On the surface, you relinquish the interests of the Dwarf Kingdom, hand over the power of the Alchemist Association, but you didn’t do it because you had a change of heart, you just knew you had lost. Your clever brain chose a more reliable, more dignified way to lose, not because you truly had a change of heart."

Gustavo Flint’s eyes reddened, he growled quietly, "You know everything, you’re always the smartest one, but so what, I’ve already conceded this time, what more do you want?! I really didn’t deceive you, I just wanted to exchange these things for some peace, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Amberser shook his head, "Some peace, and then what? In a few years, when everyone has forgotten this, you’ll try to win everything back? This kind of enduring, planning, and then rebelling again, honestly, it’s quite uninteresting."

The specifics of the betrayal might not yet be planned, but Amberser understood these maneuvers too well—it was the kind of "a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years": concede today, bear it for a few years, then win back, seize any opportunity and probe until the bold betrayal unfolds.

"You’re the winning one, you can say that," said Gustavo Flint, no longer hiding the hatred in his heart.

Gustavo Flint just wanted to bury his hatred, either letting time heal this resentment or finding an opportunity to win back fiercely; he might not have made up his mind yet, but indeed, he was just deceiving the God of Alchemy.

Where is there a sudden epiphany, where is there any letting go, walking down the street holding a precious vase, who can really not look back and move forward after it shatters?
