Chapter 316: A Future Where Dots and Lines Intertwine

Amber's power of destiny is to bring countless possibilities together and artificially lock one possibility for destiny.

Mr. Doom's ability is to block one of the countless possibilities, so that this goal can never be achieved.

Therefore, Amber likes to give several options when he is fortune-telling, and let destiny make a choice for him. When Mr. Doom is fortune-telling, he turns countless possibilities into silk threads and lets destiny cut out the last one for him.

It seems that the results are the same, but the essence is completely different.

Although they have been separated for hundreds of years, the cooperation between the two is as tacit as tens of millions of times. The silk threads of destiny are being annihilated one by one, and the dice of destiny are also stopping one by one. All possibilities come together, and countless pictures are born and die until they are finally frozen.

It is a shocking and terrible picture.

An incredibly huge silver-white dragon soars in the sky, and on the ground is an endless legion of holy warriors.

Mr. Doom said in surprise: "Lion's invasion? Isn't this something we've known for a long time?"

Amber was also a little confused. How could the two of them work together to create such a picture? This is something we've known for a long time... But this super-huge time dragon is a bit scary. It should be the appearance of the dragon when it is armed.

No wonder it is Ryan's national treasure. This posture is really majestic. A breath of time dragon will destroy the whole city.

But what does this picture represent?

Both Amber and Mr. Doom began to fall into contemplation. This is the most important part of the prophecy-interpretation.

Countless prophecy mages fail at this stage. Once the interpretation is wrong, the result will be very tragic.

After pondering the picture for a long time, Mr. Doom spoke first: "There is something wrong with this picture. I recognize this mountain. It is already in the territory of the Unholy Song. That is to say, the Ryans have already reached our doorstep."

Amber Xiu immediately reacted: "The Gate of Hell! The Gate of Hell is gone!"

The border of the Unholy Song is full of the Gate of Hell. If Ryan came, there should be an overwhelming army of demons here. How could it be empty and nothing?

In other words, when Ryan invaded, the problem of the Gate of Hell had been completely solved.

"Did we solve the problem of the Gate of Hell?" Amber Xiu said puzzledly.

Mr. Doom rolled his eyes and retorted: "Seventy-eight Gates of Hell, how do you solve it? This is built with the efforts of the whole country. What can we do to solve it?"

This is a super-large plan related to the national destiny. It has been running for so many years. How can one or two legends solve it?

The Gate of Hell is in a virtual state after it is built. It is almost immune to all attacks and will not be affected by the outside world before it is opened actively. Once opened, a large number of hell monsters will pour out in a short time, and there will be no time to destroy them.

If there are only one or two, it is easy to say. Think of a way to open it and tear it down. The two of them still have a chance to join forces.

But seventy-eight gates... just thinking about it is terrifying enough. They can't solve it even if they work themselves to death.

Amber was also a little surprised. Seventy-eight hell gates, these tieflings really dare to play with fire. If they are not careful, they will be completely finished.

However, Amber was not discouraged, because the prophecy has proved that the hell gate has disappeared, which means that this thing will definitely succeed. It's just that we have to figure out how to do it and who did it.

Amber thought for a moment and said to Mr. Doom: "Since the two of us can't do it, it's not us who solved it. We should think in this direction and find the person who can solve these hell gates, then the whole story should be smooth. Does the Injustice Council have a way to dismantle these hell gates at once?"

Mr. Doom shook his head and said: "No, we didn't think about dismantling them at the beginning. Either Ryan attacks us and we fight to the death with him, or we use these hell gates to guard until Ryan declines or our unclean hymns collapse themselves."

Amber sighed and said: "It's not the Injustice Council, nor is it you and I who did it... Remove all the impossibilities, then I'm afraid there is only one answer left."

Mr. Doom frowned and said: "The Ryan Empire?"

Amber nodded and said: "Yes, Ryan found a way to eliminate these hell gates, so he organized a large army to attack. Although I don't know how he did it, this is the only possibility. It can't be the gods who took action."

Mr. Doom also felt that Amber's speculation was reasonable, but this was not what he was worried about.

"Arthas, what we are looking for at the beginning is the contract signed between Zariel and Domino Lawley. Now what's the use of knowing that Ryan can solve the Gate of Hell? We should infer the content of the contract from this picture."

Amber shook his head and said, "No need for that. There is no point in pursuing details. We already know that Domino Lawley used the entire Kingdom of Unholy Songs as a bargaining chip to deceive the Unjust Parliament into signing this contract. Then all their subsequent actions are to promote the fulfillment of the contract. There is no doubt that the Gate of Hell is part of the content of the contract.

"It is possible that Zariel asked Domino Lawley to build the Hell Gate. Now the number is not enough, so Domino Lawley is recommending more Hell Gate construction plans. Therefore, this contract will not take effect until the number of Hell Gates is met. And if Ryan can eliminate these Hell Gates, Zariel's plan is likely to fail."

Mr. Doom is not as calm as Amberxiu. This is his homeland, where he was born and lived for hundreds of years. Mr. Doom is not as relaxed as Amberxiu.

Mr. Doom asked back: "If you can't confirm their plan, how do you know that the disappearance of the Hell Gate is not part of the plan? What if the contract requires them to protect these Hell Gates?"

"Haha, you don't understand this. Although the devil's contract is very tricky, it depends on what the bet is? Zariel wants the entire Kingdom of Unholy Songs. With such a big gain, if he still plays that kind of tricky treaty, Io will not agree. The bigger the bet, the fairer the devil's contract must be.

"To make a mortal fall, just make him get drunk and press a handprint. To make an entire kingdom fall into hell requires equal efforts. Regardless of whether the thirteen people in the parliament were forced to sign the contract or were tempted to sign the contract, at least the efforts of both parties must be equal to a certain extent, otherwise Io will slap Zariel to death. How can the construction and protection of the gates of hell be compared to the importance of an entire kingdom? Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible. "

Mr. Doom has not studied the behavior habits of demons, and he cannot tell whether what Amber Shu said is true or false, but he can only temporarily trust Amber Shu's judgment. He should not lie to himself on this issue.

Mr. Doom frowned and thought, muttering to himself: "Equivalent to the price of an entire kingdom... Hell Gate... Lion..."

After muttering for a while, Mr. Doom suddenly widened his eyes and said to Amber Shu: "Will the price proposed by Zariel be to protect the Unholy Song?"

Amber Shu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Mr. Doom meant.

"You mean, Zariel used these gates of hell to resist Lion's attack, which is equivalent to helping the Kingdom of Unholy Song avoid the crisis of national destruction. Save a kingdom, and then win this kingdom... It's a reasonable guess. Brother, you are really good. You have thought of this. "

Mr. Doom did not have any proud expression, and said to Amber Xiu: "Because in my heart this kingdom is more important than anything else, in your eyes, this kingdom has no weight at all."

Only by understanding the value of this kingdom can we guess what price Zariel is willing to pay. Amber Xiu is an outsider after all, and naturally not as sensitive as Mr. Doom.

Amber Xiu followed Mr. Doom's words and deduced: "That is to say, if Ryan solves the Gate of Hell, Zariel will not be able to protect the Unholy Song, and the contract will automatically become invalid. But now the problem is, without the Gate of Hell, how can Tiefling resist Ryan's army of paladins? "

If Zariel helps stop Lion, the Unholy Hymn will fall into hell; if Zariel cannot stop Lion, the Tieflings will surely be destroyed, and most of the dead Tieflings will still fall into hell... Zariel wins anyway.

As expected of the Lord of Hell, this business is as good as picking it up for free.

Mr. Doom suddenly said confidently: "I understand, as long as the Lions solve the Gate of Hell, we can stop Lion's attack."

Amber asked: "Don't just repeat what I said, do you have a way?"

"Not yet, but... at least we can try. The war between kingdoms is not so easy to determine the outcome. Even if Lion attacks with all his strength, how many years will it take to completely defeat this kingdom? It took them so many years to determine the outcome of the fight against the dwarves. As long as we can persist, there will be a turning point! "

This is a solution. Sacrificing some border cities, using the tactic of clearing the countryside, and defending one city after another can always wear down the strength of the paladins.

Lian is surrounded by enemies. As long as the war is not one-sided, other kingdoms may not sit idly by.

If the dwarves and orcs take the opportunity to counterattack, Ryan may not be able to stop them.

It must be said that Mr. Doom's method has a certain chance of success.

"No more talking, I'm going to prepare for war. The disappearance of the Gate of Hell will definitely make the people of the kingdom panic. If we don't prepare in advance, our army will collapse at the touch of a button. "

Mr. Doom hurriedly left Amber's private space.

Amber did not stop him. Mr. Doom's mind was already in a mess, and it was not suitable to discuss the second question.

They figured out Zariel's contract, but what about the contract of another hell lord?

When Amber entered the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, the tiefling guarding the teleportation array asked him to sign a devil's contract. There were not only Zariel's inscriptions on it, but also the inscriptions of the dragon goddess Tiamat.

In this business, what role does Tiamat play, and what backhands does she have?

This question can only be figured out by Amber himself. Fate gave him a discount and let him see a fragment of the future. He can't be foolish enough to divine a second time, otherwise he will really be slapped by the goddess of fate.

But now there is no clue. Regarding the questions about the gods, he can only consult the gods.

Amber touched his chin and thought, and came up with a very risky method.

Or, ask Shar?"
