Chapter 785 - 630: The Last Chance_3
Amberser listened and didn’t get angry, smiling at Hircine in the cage, he said, "I just said, if you don’t accept my bet, then there’s no need for me to waste my thoughts and time on this and I’ll just resolve it the easiest way. But that does not mean I only have that one method. Even if Dimogorgen came again, I could still easily resolve it."
Hircine spread his hands and said disdainfully, "The deed is done, whatever you say now is pointless. If you really want to impress me, then let’s make a new bet."
Amberser replied with patience, "Sure, you are welcome to make any suggestions."
"Don’t play word games. A language-based withdrawal must involve language, without using any form of violence, including all kinds of threatening tactics. That’s no different from directly suppressing with divine power, and you can’t borrow any other power, be it from a deity or a mortal..."
Hircine prattled on at length, wanting to add countless clauses to the contract.
Amberser, growing impatient, interrupted, "How about we simplify this? I won’t just refrain from violence, I won’t speak at all, nor will I express my intentions through writing, symbols, or any other means. I will just appear before these demon lords, and if I can make them withdraw on their own, then I win. How about that?"
Hircine paused, then said with confusion, "What kind of joke is this?"
Amberser spoke firmly, "I’m not joking. Your endless demands are truly unsightly. Hircine, we are fighting for a deity position, something mortals can only dream of... Oh, although you picked up your deity position by sheer dumb luck. Anyway, it’s highly precious, so our bet should match its legendary value.
"I won’t talk, express my thoughts in any way, or use others to speak for me. And you can say whatever you like, persuade your allies to attack me. If you can get them to take action against me, then I lose.
"Is this condition gracious enough for you? If you’re still afraid to accept, then I’m done betting with you. Go experience the tortures of hell and then crawl back to your Divine Realm like a scared turtle."
