The two exchanged a glance and both tacitly chose not to make a move.
Firstly, this doesn't violate the organization's rules, and secondly...
They didn't dare to make a move...
Indeed, fifth-tier wizards possess power that makes them unafraid of gods, but...
That's way too much!
Fifth-tier wizards are not afraid of one-on-one combat, and the same goes for demigods. Most demigods are capable of killing an outer god one-on-one, having a slight advantage in one-on-two combat, or even managing to fight to a draw in one-on-three combat.
but……
Even such a powerful demigod would be intimidated by so many Outer Gods...
……
"Whoo~"
Isaac let out a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and walked to the side. The first phase of the ritual was over, and he was ready to rest for a while.
Isaac prepared eight rituals for the first phase of his preparations. The first four rituals focused on strengthening dimensional magic, while the last four focused on strengthening dimensional perception, totaling the power of eight Outer Gods!
Even if all the materials picked up are balanced reinforcement materials such as "concepts", in the end, these concepts still have some emphasis and bias. In addition, the quantity is indeed large enough, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
With the power of eight Outer Gods nourishing him, his ability to erode and perceive dimensional magic had largely met his requirements. What he needed next was the power of Brettorman, the Lord of the Illusory Starry Sky.
but……
After eight consecutive ceremonies, even Isaac felt a little tired...
It's alright, I just need to rest for a bit.
After catching his breath, Isaac began the second phase of the ritual, this time with fewer repetitions, only three times. Even so, it still gave the people outside the mage tower a jolt.
Actually...
start again?
Is it not over yet?
Or rather... they're still not dead?
Fortunately, the ritual fluctuations only lasted for three waves before coming to a complete end, which relieved the group slightly. However, they were soon plunged into deep self-doubt.
When did the three Outer God rituals cease to matter to them?
In the void, the two fifth-tier wizards exchanged a glance, both seeing the fear in each other's eyes...
Yes, fear!
It wasn't fear of Isaac, but fear of their own mental state. In just a few days, they had become like this. If this continued, wouldn't they become mad witches?
Therefore, after exchanging a glance, the two left directly.
While the fifth rank is powerful, there is still considerable room for advancement beyond that. The path of mad witches, which involves plundering outer gods, is indeed quite tempting to them...
……
As the third ritual concluded, Isaac stood amidst the remnants of the ceremony, feeling the power he had gleaned from the mysterious void. A slight smile played on his lips; this time, the gains were even greater than in the first phase!
Indeed, this is the correct way to perform the Outer Gods' transaction ritual!
The benefits of randomly choosing an Outer God for a certain purpose and randomly picking up some things to throw into a dimensional world are far less than those of a specially sought-after target.
Take this for example—Illusory Starry Night!
Illusory Starry Night: Reflecting the void, creating a starry sky that is both real and illusory. Based on the information of the stars' movements on it, the answers to prophecies are obtained, and the price of the prophecy will be borne by this void.
Furthermore, if the created starry sky is powerful enough, it may even be able to rewrite, or rather, anchor the future!
Illusory Starry Night, the ultimate spell of the astrological school!
Besides the illusory Starry Night, Isaac also obtained another precious item from this legendary wizard—"An Introduction to the Creation of Higher Beings".
This thing was created by Isaac handing over all the technology for creating higher beings from the Outer Gods, which he had obtained in the first eight exchanges, to Brettlman for him to perfect.
Compared to other bizarre and unreliable magic books, this one, although also filled with ominous magic from the power of evil gods, contains much more reliable information and is of great help to Isaac in creating apostles of higher dimensions.
"Whoo~"
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief. After asking Liuli to let Caesar in the castle know that he was safe, he went into the spatial ripples, plopped down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep, trying his best to recover his tired mind.
Although the ceremony was over, Isaac's preparations were not yet complete.
There is only one thing left to do—create apostles of higher dimensions.
Currently, he possesses two powers in his dimensional world. Theoretically, with the almost infinite magic of his dimensional world, he can create as many higher dimensional apostles as there are dimensional apostles.
But this is only in theory. The strength of higher life forms lies in their power and the degree to which they develop that power.
If he only focuses on quantity, what he will create will be nothing more than a bunch of inferior high-level monsters with high-level life magic but no substance. Under the current conditions, the most suitable quantity is two!
The number of powers integrated with the dimensional world is equivalent.
Not only can they maximize the power of their authority, becoming one of the top beings among higher life forms, but they can also cultivate their authority by using the almost inexhaustible magic of the dimensional world. While improving their own strength, they also give back to the dimensional world, making it even stronger.
It can be said to be a win-win situation!
This is much more practical than wasting a lot of resources only to create a bunch of pretty but useless embroidered pillows.
However, while this method is good, it is also quite difficult. Even though the magic book obtained through the trade is not difficult for Isaac to learn, he still needs to rest and recuperate.
Furthermore, this method still has a major challenge.
Since the goal is to improve quality, the dimensional apostles being modified cannot be chosen arbitrarily; they must at least possess certain qualifications. Unfortunately, in order to increase the number of dimensional apostles and expand the intelligence network as soon as possible, Isaac had not paid much attention to the quality of the dimensional apostles.
His dimensional apostles weren't even worthy of being called good or bad. Among so many dimensional apostles, there was only one anomaly: the Three-Eyed Goblin Sauron the Demon Eye. Even so, that was a miracle created by life, and it was basically impossible to replicate.
In other words, among the existing dimensional apostles, only Sauron can meet Isaac's requirement.
But Isaac was unwilling to let Sauron do it.
Isaac had higher expectations for Sauron the Eye!
Neither of these two powers aligns with Sauron's path, so he must continue searching...
Fortunately, Isaac doesn't need to worry about this; he just needs to sleep. These trivial matters will naturally be taken care of by Liuli and Sauron...
This includes scattering dimensional apostles to complete tasks assigned by the cult, and sending them to various battlefields to use dimensional magic to erode and corrupt the mechanical god's strange divine power, in order to earn contributions for Isaac.
……
And so, time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
When Isaac slowly awoke from his sleep, he was presented with a series of mission settlement sheets from the cult. These sheets not only recorded the results of Soren and his men's battles over the past period, but also showed Isaac's ever-increasing contribution points!
In addition, the candidates for the two dimensional apostles of the two powers have been prepared, and at least for the time being, there is no need to change them.
Chapter 261: Rona, the Representative of Mechanics and Numerical Values!
On the edge of the Endless Sea, at the edge of the Star Sea, a dark rift appeared on the calm surface of the sea, and Isaac and his group emerged from the rift.
As the master of the dimension, Isaac took the lead, with Caesar and Rona on his left and right sides, respectively, and behind them, the high-dimensional apostles, Corrosion and Erosion, emanating black energy.
Well... their own names weren't actually chosen so casually. In the end, while these two dimensional apostles had decent talents, they weren't the most suitable. As Isaac and the dimensional world grew, they would eventually fall behind, and they would definitely be replaced. The case of Sauron was always just an isolated incident.
Therefore, it's convenient to simply refer to them as "powers." Also, from a mystical perspective, as they gradually emerge, it's beneficial for Isaac to further strengthen these powers.
"Boom!"
As soon as the group stepped out of the dark dimensional passage, the calm sea suddenly exploded. A whale-like star beast burst out from underwater, opening its blood-red maw, which was as deep as an abyss, and lunged at Isaac and the others.
Seeing this, Isaac raised an eyebrow slightly. Although he knew before coming that these star beasts had exceptionally strong perception, he did not expect that they could even detect dimensional rifts outside the star sea.
"Power Spell: Arrogant Turtle".
As a faint magical fluctuation emanated from Isaac, the white whale, which resembled a mountain range, and the surging waves instantly froze, as if time had been frozen!
Seeing this, Caesar narrowed his eyes slightly, because this move was even stronger than when they fought before!
Having already advanced to the rank of high wizard, Isaac has made such great progress in such a short time, especially in magic. This cannot be simply overshadowed by his status as a mad wizard.
"Let's go." After glancing at the star beast white whale, Isaac led the group past it and into the sea of stars.
Don't be fooled by how easily Isaac immobilized the star beast; killing it would be quite difficult, as star beasts are known for their enormous size and formidable physique. The larger the beast, the stronger its body, and this whale-like star beast is among the best.
Defeating them is not difficult.
Killing him is extremely difficult!
It's difficult to do at least for the time being.
Therefore, they bypassed it and went directly into the sea of stars.
As soon as they stepped into the sea of stars, everyone frowned, because their perception of the surroundings had been suppressed to a range of less than 100 meters!
For a third-order advanced being, a hundred meters is practically the same as being blind.
"Big brother, how are you?" Isaac's brows gradually relaxed. Although the suppression was severe, it was within his expectations. As the special perception ability of the dimensional world spread, his understanding of his surroundings increased rather than decreased!
It was only after arriving here that he discovered that the existence of the Star Sea was actually closer to the Endless Wilderness and dimensional worlds, a state independent of the real world, rather than being part of the real world like other areas of the Endless Sea.
Isaac had some general guesses about this. The reason for this result was probably related to the fallen Star Gods. Most of these fallen Star Gods were Outer Gods, who were rejected by the real world.
After their deaths, the starry sea that their bodies transformed into naturally carried their own power attributes, and was thus naturally rejected by the real world.
Therefore, after entering the Star Sea, Isaac found it much easier to summon dimensional worlds, and naturally, his perception became even stronger.
Of course, there are always trade-offs. While gaining powerful perception, it also means that the Star Sea will be more dangerous, because this characteristic does not only benefit Isaac, and he is not even the biggest beneficiary.
The biggest beneficiaries are all sorts of evil god churches!
It is foreseeable that this place will soon become, or even very likely has become, a gathering place for various evil god churches, a place where villains and evil people gather, just like in the novels of my past life.
"This is a bit bad." Caesar frowned slightly. Compared to Rona and the others, Caesar was in a slightly better situation, but only slightly. His senses were also suppressed to about two hundred meters around him.
But he was a knight, naturally skilled in close combat. Within a range of two hundred meters, as long as it wasn't a fifth-tier expert who made the move, he could react in time and launch a counterattack.
But this level of perception is only so-so, since their purpose in coming here is to search for the enemy, and this level of perception is not very useful.
Isaac nodded. If it's just a little bad, then it means it's not a big problem.
Then, Isaac brought everyone to a stop in mid-air, slowly closed his eyes, and a powerful force, imperceptible to beings in the real world, rippled outwards from Isaac, continuously transmitting a large amount of information back to him.
In his mind, the [Analysis] power was operating at high speed, rapidly analyzing each piece of information and matching it with the information from the Prank Master.
