Chapter 720: Chapter 608: Amberser’s Principles for Life_4

Saints are rare precisely because most people cannot be so magnanimous.

Amberser laughed heartily, confidently saying, "That’s right, I am the one who wins, but you’ve seen me lose before. If I had always won, would I have turned into a Lich? Back then, you were the high and noble of Alchemy City, and I was just a poor Legend transforming into a Lich."

Gustavo Flint couldn’t help but roar, "Then what’s the difference between you and me?!"

Gustavo Flint wanted nothing more than to smash the mirror in front of him and tear off the infuriating Clown Mask.

Yet Amberser was even more agitated, angrily saying, "The difference between you and me is that no matter how greedy or selfish I am, I would never betray anyone who has been kind to me. Flint, my teacher, he truly pitied you, he truly wanted to forgive you. He blessed all geniuses, helping them reach higher realms, and he bore their sins, so much so that he himself was punished by Ogma.

"Despite that, he was willing to trust you, willing to give you one last chance. But you put on an act in front of him, thinking to stab him in the heart one day!"

Dozens of huge Mage Hands appeared, pinning Gustavo Flint harshly to the ground. No matter how many pieces of Magic Equipment he had, they were meaningless under the immense Magic Power suppression of Amberser.

Amberser continued roaring, "That’s the difference between you and me. I can discern who genuinely cares for me, who truly hates me. I’ve killed many people, committed many atrocities; I don’t even regard the Deities. But I’d never scheme against any friends, I always try my utmost to repay anyone who is kind to me; this is the principle I’ve adhered to all my life.

"I once thought this was just the most basic requirement of being human. Compared to the Saints, I am just an insignificant ordinary man. But it took me centuries to realize, even scum like me are actually not too bad, it’s ungrateful wretches like you who make up the majority."

The strength of the Mage Hands intensified, and the magical protection around Gustavo Flint was slowly crushed. He felt like an insect about to be squashed to death.

This damn Lich, since when had he become so terrifying?

After transforming into the Mirror Spirit, all the reserves left inside the Magic Mirror became his sources of Magic Power, Amberser’s total amount of accessible Magic Power had long reached the realm of Deities, something mere mortals could not contend with.

As the power of the Mage Hands grew stronger, the bones in Gustavo Flint’s body fractured one by one as if about to be completely crushed.

"To Hell with you, I no longer want to waste time on you," Amberser said gravely.

Crack, crack, the bones in Gustavo Flint’s body broke one by one, and he was about to die on the spot when suddenly, a golden light shone upon him.

The Magic Hand controlled by Amberser started to fall apart, then dissipated as pure magic power.

Severely injured, Gustavo Flint barely caught his breath, still trying to struggle and escape, but found that the golden light also trapped him in place, completely immobilizing him.

A sigh came from the void.

"Flint, I will take away everything related to alchemy from you, from now on, you’re on your own."

Within the golden light, Gustavo Flint’s gaze became vacant, as if he had lost his soul. His aged body slowly shrank, eventually turning into a dark-skinned boy. The child blinked, curiously looking around as if he knew nothing.

The next second, the child disappeared into thin air, and Amberser’s reformed Mage Hand caught nothing.

Amberser angrily said, "Old man! You saw everything, and still you are lenient?!"

From the God of Alchemy came a helpless voice, "What else can I do, they are all children I watched grow up!"

Every Legendary Alchemist is a child cherished by the Deity, they just don’t know it themselves. Even Garey Woz, the chairman who committed the greatest blasphemy, in the end, the God of Alchemy still tenderheartedly bore his sins.

The God of Alchemy reassured, "Don’t worry, I’ve stripped him of all his memories, he doesn’t even know his own name now, and he’ll never learn alchemy again. Let him lead an ordinary life."

"Ptui!"

Amberser couldn’t help but spit, only to realize that the body of the Mirror Spirit couldn’t spit, irritating him even further.

"Damn it, I don’t want to talk to you right now!"

Amberser cursed, then controlled the Magic Mirror to drift out of the room.

Seth Yuri waited outside the room for a while, the room was so well soundproofed he had no idea what was happening inside. When he saw the door open and only Amberser coming out, he was taken aback.

Where was the great Legendary Alchemist?

Still furious, Amberser said to Seth Yuri, "Come with me, Zane’s nephew, I owe your uncle a drink; I’m going to take down that Vampire Dwarf King, consider it repayment."

Seth Yuri was utterly confused; why did the conversation jump here, what had he missed?

Amberser didn’t want to explain too much, his fury stoked by the leniency of the God of Alchemy, and unable to suppress his anger now that he was no longer a Lich, he decided to let the Dwarf King suffer the consequences. After all, when the Alchemist Association was usurping his properties, the Dwarf King had been behind, pushing them along. It was high time that guy got what he deserved.

"Wait, Uncle Tav!" In his agitation, Seth Yuri even got the name wrong, but he didn’t care and quickly asked, "Didn’t you say the Wishing Spell couldn’t be used? The Dwarf Palace is heavily guarded. Ever since that blasphemer transformed into a vampire, he’s been hiding in the deepest part of the palace, there’s no way to sneak in for an assassination."

Amberser sneered, "Sneak assassination? There’s no need. Come with me, it’s time to show those ungrateful wretches my fury."
