Chapter 2529 - 1109: Teleportation Raid (Part 2)
Compared to corrupting her, I believe corrupting her believers is much simpler.
By that time, we can use the corrupted believers to corrupt her instead."
"You truly deserve to be Father’s most favored lover, your strategies are unparalleled in Agrazte, this is indeed a novel idea."
The Triple Shadows gave full acknowledgement to the Succubus Manipulator, then abruptly shifted the topic, "But the time required is too long, and the variables are indeed too many. After all, we cannot control the actions of her believers, we might wait countless years and still gain nothing.
It would be simpler to target these Fallen Merchants directly.
Furthermore, this matter has an experimental aspect, as long as it’s effective.
I can then apply for more assistance from Father, and by that time, we will have an endless stream of Soul Contracts from Fallen Merchants."
"I was shortsighted." Taharissi’s final statement convinced the Succubus Manipulator. Her slender hands formed a complex Dharma Seal, and instantly a rift appeared, leading directly to the Hall of Calculation.
As the Succubus Manipulator’s hands moved gracefully, the Hall of Calculation seemed to come alive, the Demon Contract Bookshelves began constantly changing positions, numerous Demon Contracts flew off the shelves into the air.
Marreta pointed toward the Goddess of Wealth and said, "Go."
The Demon Contracts rushed forward immediately.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These Demon Contracts collided with the golden shield and exploded instantly.
"Haha... I told you it’s useless, yet you still attempt... Wait, this is not an attack, this is the Soul Contracts of Fallen Merchants... you actually desecrate trade with such base methods... this is despicable behavior..."
The Goddess of Wealth was leisurely drinking tea, watching the commotion, but soon found herself unable to laugh anymore.
After the Demon Contract Scrolls exploded, they transformed into masses of black mist.
This black mist could not be resisted by the golden shield, as many wisps seeped in, wrapping around her body, whether on her golden clothing or skin, a faint layer of black mist covered her.
With just a touch, she understood what was happening.
Every Demon Contract represented a merchant who had signed a contract with the demons.
No matter if these merchants were originally kind, the moment they signed a contract with the demons, it was destined they would slide into the Bottomless Abyss.
This refers not only to the fate of their souls but also their actions.
Under the demons’ temptation, they would resort to any means for gain — murder, plunder, dark transactions, etc.
Once they tasted the benefits, it would become irresistible, sliding deeper and deeper.
Evil trade is also a form of trade, the Goddess of Wealth Woken has a natural allure to them, and will not be shielded by barriers as she is directly drawn into her body, causing an erosion and corruption, attempting to drag her into the dark abyss.
"Commercial transactions are the best way to prosper. If we can find a way to enhance economic circulation worldwide, then all civilizations can advance further, bringing happiness to all sentient beings in the world."
"You should strive to remove all barriers to trade, must not damage trade goods, nor spread malicious rumors to sabotage others’ economic activities. When you hear any unverified rumors harmful to promoting trade, you must step forward to refute such rumors. Evil trade methods will cause the collapse of the entire trade system, with brief prosperity followed by endless decline."
"You should use the money at hand to give to beggars, or use it for investment. The more money people have, the more likely they are to engage in trading rather than hoarding it."
After a brief shock, countless voices began chanting around the Goddess of Wealth, her expression turned solemn, her body glimmering with golden light as if washing away the filth from her body.
This represents her core teachings, embodying trade, money, and wealth.
A normal trade environment and fair competition are the true means to accumulate wealth and money.
Although such corrupt trade methods may rapidly accumulate wealth in the short term, they trade off future long-term development, and she will never allow such short-sighted behavior to occur.
"It is indeed effective." Taharissi and Marreta exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
For them, the greatest significance of this matter is finding a way to breach the trade shield and visibly corrupt the Goddess of Wealth.
It’s just that the number of Demon Contracts used in this attempt was too few, those Fallen Merchants have not yet grown, their strength is relatively small, unable to exert enough of a lethal impact on the Goddess of Wealth.
Once both quantity and quality increase, tearing down the Goddess of Wealth’s normal trade barriers will be the moment she falls into darkness.
With the full support of Prince Grazte of the Ubar, this should not be a difficult task.
"Madam, please guard here, unless necessary, do not enter again... Yawn... I will go back to Father now... Yawn... Ask for his full assistance... Yawn..." Taharissi spoke while yawning repeatedly.
"What’s happening to you?" The Succubus Manipulator asked warily.
Taharissi, being a Demigod, has long since no need for sleep, nor would she feel fatigue; this sudden intense sleepiness is extremely abnormal.
