This Lich Requests More Remuneration

As the art of alchemy continued to develop, the divine power of the God of Alchemy kept increasing. Not long ago, he even acquired the technology from Hell and has now almost thoroughly researched it, significantly expanding the knowledge of alchemy with many exotic flavors.

However, just adding this knowledge was not enough, since the world’s understanding of alchemy determined the strength of the God of Alchemy. It’s not enough for the deities to know these secrets alone; special means were needed to promote them.

At first, the Alchemist Association seemed a good choice, as it had many alchemists and spreading the knowledge to them would surely ensure a rapid propagation.

Yet, the God of Alchemy decisively rejected Amberser’s suggestion.

"This knowledge cannot be handed over to the profit-driven Alchemist Association, or Ogma will intervene again."

That was the God of Alchemy’s reminder to Amberser.

The technology involving the Hell Engine contained an abundance of biological transformation and soul manipulation techniques; although the God of Alchemy had refined it to be less bloody and cruel, the danger level of this knowledge remained extremely high.

If it were given to the Alchemist Association, they might well repeat that cruel Underworld deific project. At that time, Ogma might not be so lenient - perhaps he might completely obliterate them without offering another chance.

So the important task of promoting the new alchemy fell onto Amberser’s shoulders, the only student the God of Alchemy truly trusted.

Although Amberser was quite avaricious, he also possessed strong restraint, and he alone could handle the balance.
