Chapter 307: Ambran Shell Coins and Tricks (Part 1)

Tom?!

Seeing the exhausted youth, who was severely injured in an instant, Lyon reached out to support him in surprise. He then unleashed his ultimate control technique towards the mysterious woman whose origins were unknown.

"Bow to me!"

With Lyon's command, the dazzling spell silver instantly split into two halves. One half pounced towards the Plague Blood Belt that was thrown to the ground, while the other half exploded mid-air, transforming into countless sharp, slender cones that rained down towards the mysterious woman.

Although he didn't know her background, anyone who could instantly gravely injure Tom was definitely an opponent beyond his capabilities. The only chance to turn the tables was to first control her with a forced bow, retrieve the Plague Blood Belt, and save Tom from his near-death state!

"Hmph, an interesting request."

The Traveling Skylark Queen, upon which Lyon had placed high hopes, proved ineffective. The mysterious woman who had gravely injured Tom chuckled and raised her palm, waving it twice. The two groups of spell silver, each with their own purpose, instantly vanished, transforming into several strangely polished shells in Lyon's hand.

[Name: Ambran Shell Coin (Sacred, Currency)]

[Appearance: A shell shaped like a petal, roughly polished with a crude technique. Two small round holes are drilled in the center for easy stringing with rope knots. On the inner side, there is an inscription in Ambran Script, carved with a stone knife, which reads, "A Sheaf of Wheat."]

[Ability: Divine Rank, Forced Transaction]

[Cost: Usage requires permission from the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, and ownership of this anomaly will be lost upon completion of the transaction.]

[Archive: The initial currency used by the ancient kingdom of Ambra, one of the oldest coin types in human history. It was completely abolished during the middle period of the Ambran Kingdom and was personally sanctified by the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, becoming a special anomaly with an extremely high divine rank. She often uses it to bestow upon her devout followers.]

[Evaluation: A special anomaly that can force an equivalent transaction with any target below the True God rank. Although the ability is decent, it is a one-time use item, and a sufficient quantity is required to achieve its effect, making it not too difficult to deal with.

However, if the user is not a fanatical follower of the Scale Gold Sect, but instead a woman with a delicate face, a capable demeanor, and a short to medium length hair, appearing to be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old... then you should be cautious.]

"..."

This description... Wait! Could it be?!

...

"My god!"

In the moment when Lyon's pupils contracted, the "Black and White Worm" in the glass bottle had already prostrated itself on the ground, performing a reverent bow with fervent devotion.

"Well done!"

Glancing at the Snake Spirit, the mysterious woman, after seeing its head still stained with two small clumps of dry chicken droppings, said with a mix of dissatisfaction and disdain, "With your level of ability, if you had stayed in the Dream Realm and not run around recklessly, even if you couldn't match that person, you wouldn't have lost so badly.

But you had to be clever and worry about suffering at his hands. As soon as you sensed some movement, you ran directly, only to be caught red-handed by him! If I hadn't arrived quickly, you would have been stuck with that stupid toad!"

"My god... I... I'm ashamed..."

"If you're ashamed, then remember this lesson well and stop playing your little tricks!"

After scolding the Snake Spirit without regard for others, the mysterious woman looked up at Lyon, whose expression had turned rigid. Her gaze paused momentarily on the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest before she spoke with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Lyon Lane... I've wanted to meet you for a long time. Did you know that?"

"..."

Looking at Lyon, who remained silent, the woman, suspected to be the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, slightly restrained the smile on her face, and her expression turned stern. "After that stupid toad was done in by you, I went through great hardships to reach the Dead Realm and redeemed a portion of its soul. I wanted to use those soul fragments to recreate a Holy Spirit with the same authority.

However, I discovered that those soul fragments that fell into the Dead Realm have lost their compatibility with the power of wealth, no longer staunchly believing in the price of all things, and have completely become useless... Tell me, how did you do it?"

"..."

That toad...

If my judgment is correct, the reason it collapsed in the first place was because it discovered the existence of the "Emblem System," something that couldn't be measured by value, so its power foundation crumbled.

What about the Wealth Goddess before me? Will she be like that toad? As this thought crossed his mind, Lyon's fists clenched unconsciously, and his facial muscles twitched slightly. He then asked, expressionless:

"If you want to know the reason, why don't you 'buy' it yourself? Your Scale Gold Sect can even trade lifespans, so buying 'secrets' shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Indeed, forcing the purchase of someone's secrets is not a challenge for me."

A woman with shoulder-length hair, efficient and capable... The Wealth Goddess nodded at her words, then stared intently at Lyon's eyes, her face showing a strange color as she said:

"But my intuition tells me that you seem to be expecting me to do this... So, can I assume that if I forcibly 'buy' this secret from you, my fate might be similar to that foolish toad?"

?!?

"It seems that's indeed the case... At the very least, that's what you should believe."

Watching Lyon's pupils constrict slightly, the Wealth Goddess pondered and said, "To be honest, I'm actually a bit unsure now. I wonder if your strange thoughts are due to shallow arrogance brought about by ignorance or if you truly have some special trump card."

I've been seen through!!!

Feeling his hair stand on end under her gaze, as if she could see right through him, Lyon inwardly grumbled, blaming himself for being too obvious. He forcibly suppressed the strange urge to kneel before her and struggled to support the barely conscious Tom, saying:

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want to know what happened to that toad, then go ahead and buy it yourself!"

After speaking, Lyon slightly lifted his cuff, revealing the polished cufflink, which he quietly aimed at the 【Plague Blood Belt】 beneath the woman's feet. The young larvae inside were already poised to strike.

I remember the Director mentioning that Tom and Emma were elite Tier 1 Purifiers, almost on par with the Small Director. Even if they couldn't defeat a True God who descended in their physical form, they should still have some means to fight back, right?

Additionally, if she's truly that powerful, to the extent of easily subduing Tom, why would she bother buying the 【Plague Blood Belt】 from me to prevent me from healing Tom?

In summary, there's only one answer.

She's not as powerful as she seems. It's likely that she managed to easily defeat Tom mostly due to a sneak attack, and she's also wary of Tom's abilities. If I can save Tom, there might be a chance to turn the tables.

So... do you still want to struggle?

The Wealth Goddess shook her head slightly as she looked at Lyon, trying to maintain a poker face but still filled with hope in his eyes. Then, in the moment she sensed the Mirror World's fluctuation, she lifted her hand and slightly hooked her fingers towards Lyon's cufflink.

Your guess is correct. Due to the excessive loss of power from the forced descent, I was indeed wary of the "Dice Emperor," who was skilled in using all sorts of methods. That's why I relied on a sneak attack to defeat him, and I even dared not take his life directly, fearing that I might trigger some vicious life-saving ritual.

But no matter what, I am a True God, a renowned unlucky Dice Emperor. How dare you, a Tier 3 Purifier who can't even conceal your soul's fluctuations, think you can play tricks in front of me?
