In an instant, the twisting and mutating monstrous life form under the blood moon let out an extremely excited scream. Accompanied by this twisted and monstrous scream, countless incredibly evil magical tentacles rolled towards Isaac!
"Heh~ Interesting. So you've taken me as prey?" Isaac's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind racing, and he quickly made a decision—go for it!
Originally, Isaac and his companions had already achieved their goal at this point. At this stage, Gailard had no chance of turning the tide, because above that strange life form, a number that only Isaac could see was clearly visible—0%!
If Isaac's judgment based on his own knowledge might be wrong, then the probability shown by the cheat code completely sealed Gallard's fate!
Even with Isaac's cheat code that increases the success rate, there's no way to change him back to his original state.
After all, the premise for his cheat code to increase the success rate is that the success rate itself must not be zero!
So Isaac can actually leave now. As for this weird, dirty thing, there's no need to worry about it. There are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls. Besides, this is the Star Sea. Tier 3 is as common as dogs, Tier 4 is everywhere, and Tier 5 can be seen from time to time. This little aberration can't cause any trouble at all.
But after a moment's thought, Isaac decided to do it anyway!
The reason is simple: as a mad witch, Isaac will have to go through this state sooner or later. Rather than facing it in a panic, it's better to test his skills on this guy first, at least to figure out what these fragments of Outer God's power can do, and what magical changes will occur when the powers of different Outer Gods are combined.
Isaac was particularly interested in the last point!
For him now, simply scavenging in that mysterious void is no longer enough. As his strength increases, it has gradually become something akin to paying taxes to the government...
He needs to seek some excitement!
With these thoughts in mind, Isaac launched an attack on the aberration that Gailard had transformed into.
Isaac clasped his hands together, and the demonic eye between his brows and the demonic eye on his wand floating behind his head released an eerie magical power. With a soft shout, Isaac separated his clasped hands and pushed them forward...
An invisible wave swept away, and the black, twisted tentacles that touched the invisible wave turned into countless petals and disappeared!
Real and illusory power!
However, this was only the power of the demonic eye between Isaac's eyebrows. This time, the power activated two demonic eyes in succession!
As the fluctuations spread, it was not only the tentacles that dissipated into petals, but also the ever-expanding, twisted body of the aberrant creature. This was both a characteristic of its ever-expanding power and one of the ways it strengthened its defensive capabilities.
In other words, at this moment, He has already been stripped of his armor!
Just as that part of the body turned into petals and disappeared, a twisted vortex suddenly appeared, twisting off a part of the deformed creature's limbs!
"Heh heh?" The eyes on the mutant looked at the twisted part of the body with confusion, wondering why this part of the body had lost all its sensory abilities when it hadn't been completely destroyed.
As time passed, the weak will of the Outer God was gradually dominated by the ever-expanding power of the Outer God. At this moment, the mutant was gradually turning into a monster without any intelligence, only knowing how to destroy!
This is a suppression from the laws of the real world. Unless it causes enough damage to the real world, it may attract more Outer God wills and thus gain more thinking ability.
Therefore, the mutants, who are gradually losing their ability to think, naturally cannot recognize the power of authority contained in this demonic eye—the twisted authority!
Chapter 270 The road ahead
The battle ended even faster than Isaac had anticipated. The demonic eyes, imbued with the power of an ancient evil god, were far more powerful than he had imagined, especially when they worked together—one to remove armor and the other to deal damage—their efficiency was exceptionally high!
In no time at all, the mutant was completely dismembered by Isaac, turning into pieces that floated silently in the air...
Caesar: "...That's...it's over?"
After the battle, Caesar flew back with Rona. Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Caesar's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Although Gallard was dead, Caesar did not feel the satisfaction of avenging a great enemy...
Because throughout the entire revenge process, he didn't contribute much; the killing move he prepared for Gailard was never used before the battle ended...
This left Caesar, who had been preparing for revenge for many years, feeling a sense of frustration, as if he had fought with all his might but ended up hitting a brick wall...
On the other side, although he had personally killed his enemy, Isaac actually felt quite the same way. He had prepared for this battle for a very long time, even taking down the Outer Gods several times, but in the end…
In the end, apart from making tracking a bit more troublesome, they didn't really use any of their other methods. The Demon Eye that could wreak havoc was something they had obtained before.
Looking at the pieces of corpse floating in the air and feeling a faint emptiness in his heart, Isaac frowned slightly. Although this battle went exceptionally smoothly, it had actually exposed many of his own problems.
For example, although he has many methods, and they are all very powerful, he can only use a few in actual combat. Against weaker enemies, he can use the infinite magic power of the dimensional world to drive the magic cannon and form absolute firepower suppression. Against ordinary enemies, he can use power spells to fight them. When he encounters a very strong enemy, he also has two great power magic eyes, which have a very terrifying suppressive power.
Of course, this does not mean that the power he obtained from the Outer Gods and legends is useless. Those abilities and knowledge have all become his foundation, and they may come into play at any time in his future research.
only……
That makes sense, but in that case, wouldn't the power he risked his life to trade with the Outer Gods be meaningless?
In fact, this is a problem that many mad witches encounter after reaching a certain stage of growth. As their own strength grows stronger, the power or knowledge they acquire from the Outer Gods will gradually become unable to keep up with their pace, becoming tasteless to consume but a pity to discard.
However, normal mad wizards usually only encounter this situation at the fourth level. After all, for wizards, the fourth level is very close to becoming a demigod comparable to a god. The fifth level is already very close, and if there is a floating city, this distance will be even shorter.
In this situation, it's normal that the power obtained from the Outer Gods' trade can't keep up. It's not very normal that Isaac, who is at the third tier, encountered this situation. However, his method of trading with the Outer Gods is somewhat different, so it's not surprising that this stage arrived early.
However, there is one thing that Isaac has in common with the other mad witches: they are not satisfied with the status quo!
Most mad wizards, after experiencing that rapid pace of progress in the early stages, simply cannot be expected to slowly research and accumulate power like normal wizards. That's how gamblers are.
Therefore, apart from a very few mad witches who continue to maintain normal transactions steadily, most mad witches will start to take bigger steps, such as entering the mysterious void like Isaac to collect the power of the Outer Gods.
Isaac also wanted to speed up his pace, but he was facing a problem: for a normal mad witch, taking big steps was to seize the power of the Outer Gods, but Isaac was already doing that, so how could he speed up his pace?
So, Isaac needs to think carefully about what to do next...
After glancing at the battlefield, he casually waved his hand, and black mist swept in, collecting all the mutated corpses into the dimensional world. Although the Outer God power inside this thing was destroyed beyond recognition by the power of the illusory and the power of the distorted, it still left many traces and had great research value.
Finally, Isaac's gaze fell upon the corpse floating on the surface of the starry sea, his eyes widening in astonishment—a divine corpse…
And it was the corpse of a star god!
This thing...
how come?
Isaac was surprised. In other parts of the Endless Sea, encountering the corpse of a star god would be quite normal. After all, the Endless Sea was a product of a great wizard and a newly born miracle, so it was quite normal for it to contain both a divine corpse and a divine essence.
But this is a sea of stars!
This is the product of the fusion of the corpses of many fallen star gods. Here, the godhood of the star gods will remain, but their corpses will not, because in this sea of stars, the corpses of the star gods will be melted away by its special magnetic field.
For example, right now, the divine corpse soaking in the sea of stars is being affected by the magnetic field of the sea of stars. If it weren't for the special magic protecting the surface of the divine corpse, it would probably have melted away.
but……
"I have a feeling... that even if this thing is removed, it won't be melted away?" Looking at the Star God's corpse floating in the sea, Isaac stroked his chin. Although it was just a guess, he felt that it was probably true.
Otherwise, there's no explanation for why those two guys left this thing here.
This wretched place, Xinghai, doesn't seem like a safe place to conduct experiments, especially those related to the Star God's corpse—there are too many variables.
Unless they have no way to move it at all.
"How to deal with this thing?"
At this moment, Caesar flew to Isaac's side with Rona, looked at the divine corpse below, and asked with a solemn expression.
Although he didn't understand magic, as a chosen one of the gods, he knew a thing or two about what was happening to this divine corpse. This guy...
They are crossing the line between life and death!
Simply put, this star god is being resurrected!
The resurrection of dead gods: the most dangerous and taboo experiment in witchcraft—the creation of gods!
Because after the resurrection of the gods, He will not be grateful to you for being the one who resurrected Him; on the contrary, He will spare no effort to kill you!
Because resurrection, especially by a being of the divine level, is a serious violation of the laws of the world. And a being is, in a sense, the embodiment of the laws of the world. Unless He wants to fall into becoming an Outer God, He will inevitably take action against the one who casts the spell.
Therefore, Caesar worried that Isaac might be interested in resurrecting the Star God...
That's dangerous!
Fortunately, while Isaac was interested in the god-making experiment, he wasn't interested in such a crude one.
Yes, rough!
In Isaac's eyes, Gallard and his companion's experiment in creating a god was incredibly crude. Compared to Caesar, Isaac saw much more.
For example, they would not personally carry out the final step of the resurrection process, but would instead delegate it through other means, so that the resurrected star god would not be the one to kill them.
They truly received the divine favor!
In addition, there should be some other small measures to protect their rights.
However, Isaac remained uninterested in this, because ultimately, it was merely the resurrection of a god, not the creation of one, and he lacked the means to control such a god.
That alone makes Isaac completely uninterested!
Chapter 271 Advancement to the Fourth Rank!
"Just leave it here, don't worry about it." Isaac took one last look at the Star God's corpse, then waved his right hand, and dark cracks appeared behind them. "Let's go back, this place... won't be safe any longer."
Caesar looked surprised by Isaac's decisiveness; he had thought...
This guy might be a little greedy...
It seems Isaac has grown a lot in recent years...
Thinking about it, Caesar showed a relieved expression. To be honest, he had always been against Isaac going down the path of a mad witch, because gamblers never end well.
Even though Isaac has had a smooth ride so far, he is still worried that Isaac might accidentally crash one day.
Thankfully, Isaac has finally seen the error of his ways!
Unaware of Isaac's true thoughts, Caesar, filled with joy, entered the dimensional world with Isaac, thus leaving the sea of stars. Shortly after their departure, several powerful forces descended from the heavens, opening a new battlefield for struggle…
Ownership of the divine corpse!
However, none of this mattered to Isaac. After returning to his territory and parting ways with Caesar, Isaac felt much lighter after avenging his great grudge. He returned to his previous state—moving while completing the cult's tasks, continuing to climb the rankings, and grinding in the floating city!
The floating city will become Isaac's trump card after he advances to the fourth tier!
Besides that, Isaac was busy researching a brand new Outer Gods trading ritual, or you could say a brand new path of mad witchcraft!
Nowadays, simply seizing Outer Gods can no longer satisfy Isaac's needs. Or rather, this level of power will no longer be as helpful to him as before. It will only become part of his foundation, assisting him in some future research, or becoming a flash of inspiration.
Therefore, Isaac needs to further strengthen the Outer Gods!
However, this kind of thing isn't so easy to accomplish; he doesn't even have a clear idea yet...
Fortunately, he has a lot on his plate right now, so there's no rush and he can take it slow.
……
Soon, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
During these three years, Isaac deeply embodied the essence of the survival strategy, staying in the mage tower almost all the time. Except for moving, he never stepped out. His contribution to the sect was entirely due to deciphering the methods of the mad witch and producing magical resources.
