Chapter 766: Chapter 624: The Power to Make a Deity Bleed_3

Goddess Tiamat couldn’t help but remind, "But Hircine has already been contacting your enemies. The power of Hell Law is different from that of a real Divine Realm. What you’re using doesn’t truly belong to you. Don’t think that just because you now possess the power of a Deity, your essence is still merely that of a mortal. Among deities, one cannot merely consider the level of divine power, a fact you should be well aware of, shouldn’t you?"

Amberser nodded, "Of course, I am aware. If you were to confront me now, I could only rely on this power to resist, incapable of possessing a real advantage like Zariel. The strength of the Dragon Race is indeed something this mortal can hardly match."

This was not false modesty but the plain truth.

The intrinsic advantages of the Dragon Race’s divinities are too apparent. Ignoring Hell Law, Zariel would hardly be a match for Tiamat, leaving Amberser, who solely relies on Hell Law for self-defense, really capable only of protecting himself. Suppressing the Evil Dragon Goddess like he did Bayer is out of the question.

Tiamat would only need to pay a small price to escape Hell without any trouble.

That is to say, if many Gods truly entered the first layer of hell, Amberser might indeed lose, because now he could only depend on himself, and other Archdukes of the Devils would not provide him any help.

Once Hircine rallied the Gods, Amberser could likely become the first "Deity" to be killed in his own Divine Realm.

But precisely because of this, Amberser would take the initiative to strike.

Amberser set down his teacup and said very seriously to Tiamat, "Whether it be the great Evil Dragon Goddess or the Prince of Lies, or even that Goddess of Pain... My enemies all think this way. I, as a Lich, am merely a mortal after all, who occasionally gained power comparable to a Deity, but whose essence hasn’t changed.

"What I want is exactly this, that you always regard me as just a normal mortal. But you all have overlooked something. When I was still a mortal, I had to be completely subservient to such high gods, because our powers were utterly unequal, and I could only resist using words.

"But now it’s different, I possess the power to make you bleed."

Amberser clenched his fist, and immense Magic Power gathered in his palm, transforming into a pulsating Heart of Hell. This was the manifestation of Hell Law, and even Tiamat furrowed her brow at the immense pressure.

Amberser continued, "When I was still a mortal, I dared to verbally attack deities. Now that I’ve become a God, how could I possibly wait passively for you to come seeking revenge like a mortal would? The one who should seek revenge is me. I’ve always been the one insulted and threatened by the Gods. Haven’t you ever thought that I might take the initiative to strike against you?

"After becoming the master of Avernus, the first layer of hell, I have made my decision. This time there’s no need for the God Above Gods Aio to intervene, I will personally take my revenge and show them what a real devil is!"

Tiamat only felt regret, but not for cooperating with Amberser, but for having antagonized him from the beginning. If she had known destiny would arrange it thus, she would have offered him benefits earlier. Back then, Amberser was so poor he couldn’t even afford a Youth Potion; just giving him a drop of Dragon Blood would have made him grateful.

Tiamat sighed and asked, "So what exactly is your plan? Give me a heads up, don’t drag me into this as well."

"Respected Evil Dragon Goddess, if you don’t know, then there’s no need for you to lie and keep secrets for me. It will make it much easier for you when facing Hircine." Amberser gave Tiamat a polite smile, reassuringly saying, "Don’t worry, I’m still cooperating with the Dragon Race. The Dragon Mother of the Chromatic Dragons isn’t on my list for revenge."

Cooperation... If slavery, blood-draining, and skinning can also be considered cooperation...

Tiamat was about to say something but heard Amberser abruptly change the subject, "Tiamat, the Dragon Pantheon has a long history and is the most knowledgeable of deities. I want to ask you a question. If you can tell me, I would be very grateful."

Tiamat asked with a confused expression, "Your question might not be easy to answer. Aren’t you on good terms with the Lord of Knowledge, Ogma? Is there a question even he cannot answer?"

Amberser responded helplessly, "I asked the wise Ogma, but did not receive an answer. So I want to ask, have you ever seen the Goddess of Fate?"
