Is there a way to continue drawing upon the power of the Outer Gods without affecting one's own anchor point?
Some brothers, yes.
To possess the power of an Outer God without affecting one's own anchor point is simple: just don't actually possess that power, but be able to use it—that is, stuff it into a dimensional world!
It might not sound nice, but that's the truth. For Isaac, the dimensional world has become a dumping ground; whatever bad stuff you want, just stuff it in.
For example, the power obtained from the Deep Sea Corruptor this time—[Corrosion] and [Erosion].
The two core powers of the Deep Sea Corruptor were integrated into the dimensional world, mainly because Isaac himself didn't really need them, and because they had a very high compatibility with the dimensional world.
After integrating these two powers, just as Isaac had imagined, the dimensional world was greatly enhanced. Although the origin did not increase much, the strength of the dimensional world in all aspects increased significantly.
Most importantly, although the original dimensional world already possesses many characteristics of a real dimension, it is still far from giving birth to power. Even the transaction ceremony of the Kingdom of Etra would require at least three to five more dimensional worlds before it could possibly give birth to power on its own.
But things are different now. After Isaac integrated the two powers he picked up from the Deep Sea Corruptor into the dimensional world, it skipped several stages of growth and became a dimensional world with powers!
In addition to improvements in basic values such as stability and magical power, the most important thing is that, as the master of the dimensional world, Isaac can not only use these two powers with ease, but also bestow them upon dimensional apostles and even life forms outside the dimensions!
Of course, the conditions for bestowing these powers upon other life forms outside the dimensional world are quite high. Firstly, life forms granted these two powers by Isaac will directly become dimensional life forms!
Dimensional beings are not the same as dimensional apostles. Dimensional apostles are dimensional beings, but dimensional beings can not necessarily become dimensional apostles. The biggest difference between dimensional beings and dimensional apostles is that they are more difficult to leave the dimensional world and operate in the real world, and are subject to more restrictions.
Secondly, such a gift requires immense magical power, which cannot be the magical power of the dimensional world, as it is so vast that Isaac alone cannot provide it.
It is so enormous that it would take a full year to accumulate enough energy to power the magic pool of the mage tower!
Of course, the cost is high, but the benefits are also considerable. The power granted in this way is comparable in strength to that of a normal third-tier power. In other words, as long as other shortcomings are addressed, Isaac will have the ability to mass-produce third-tier combat power!
That's the allure of making a deal with the Outer Gods!
High risk, but also high reward!
The fourth-tier black-robed wizard gave Isaac a deep look before shifting his gaze. Even though Isaac was one of his own, he didn't want to have too much contact with him. This person…
He was covered in shit!
"No problem, let's go back." A glint flashed in the black-robed wizard's eyes. After confirming that no hidden weapons had been left on the group, he nodded slightly. Wisps of black mist emanated from his body, weaving into a black vortex behind him.
Compared to the caution we took when we came, we can be a little more carefree on the way back, and we can directly use spatial teleportation.
Of course, transmitting directly to the main base in the war zone is not very reliable, but transmitting to the edge of the main base, within the safe zone designated by the cult, is still not a problem.
Led by the black-robed wizard and the green-robed wizard, everyone stepped into the vortex of black mist and in a flash, they arrived next to the main camp.
"Dismissed." After everyone had walked out of the black mist vortex, the black-robed wizard dispersed the vortex, coldly leaving behind this sentence before flying away.
The green-robed wizard and other high wizards followed closely behind, making Isaac scratch his head. How come this is... different from what the others said?
Isn't it said that after a mission, miracle wizards usually organize a gathering to exchange academic ideas?
This is one of the reasons why these high-ranking wizards risked their lives to participate in this mission, since miracle wizards are not so easy to encounter on ordinary days.
But why did they leave?
Just as Isaac was wondering, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Phoenix sneaking to the side.
"What's wrong with you? You're acting so suspiciously. Be careful, or the monsters from the enforcement team might catch you."
"Hahaha~" Phoenix scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, "How could I possibly be afraid of you, boss? Hahaha~"
Isaac: "..."
Phoenix instinctively looked away: "...My wife is about to give birth."
Isaac paused for a moment, then smiled with relief and waved his hand: "Then go quickly, family is more important."
Phoenix looked at Isaac, opened his mouth as if to speak, but finally nodded and transformed into a streak of blazing light, quickly disappearing.
Ultimately, he wasn't very close to Isaac, and that little bit of friendship was nothing compared to the Mad Witch.
Phoenix had previously thought that the Mad Witch was nothing special, but after witnessing Isaac's madness firsthand, he realized he was too naive. All that he had experienced was nothing compared to the real Mad Witch!
Don't you see, even fourth-tier miracle wizards avoid them like the plague?
Watching Phoenix's departing figure, Isaac, standing alone, let out a long sigh. A dark crack opened behind him and swallowed him up.
The outside world is pretty boring...
Chapter 255 The Witch's Juice is Very Good!
Meanwhile, as Isaac returned to his territory in low spirits, the wizards of the Cult of Machines were holding an emergency meeting for him, an emergency meeting composed of fifth-tier wizards and fourth-tier wizards.
The meeting's content was simple: how to deal with Isaac!
Although he is only a minor third-tier wizard, the deterrent power he has displayed so far is far greater than that of an ordinary fourth-tier wizard!
Especially for the wizards of the Cult of Machines, they are practically their mortal enemies!
Of course, if that's all there is to it, then it's not so bad. At worst, we can just kill him directly. If we can't kill a third-tier enemy, can't we kill a fourth-tier or even a fifth-tier enemy?
There's only the principle of "a thief can be caught for a thousand days, but there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days." Even if the Flesh and Blood Cult has strong individuals protecting its genius seeds, can they protect them at all times?
What high-ranking wizard has so much free time?
Therefore, for a large wizarding organization, unless the genius shuts himself away, there is no genius that cannot be killed.
It's just that people don't usually do that.
Because this kind of bullying behavior is a serious and meaningless internal conflict, it is likely to arouse public outrage in the wizarding community, which is currently seeking common development.
Of course, when it comes to the core interests of a religious sect, public outrage is of little significance.
only……
Isaac is different...
This guy isn't just a natural genius, he's a mad witch!
He's a mad witch who has plundered many Outer Gods!
As mentioned earlier, people like mad witches are almost universally hated and rejected by all forces, and are expelled from the country as soon as they are discovered.
Yes, deportation, not extermination.
This isn't due to the mysterious rules passed down through generations of mad witches, but rather to some of the mad witches' own characteristics that are akin to latrines or dog excrement...
The power of the Outer Gods is not so easy to obtain. Although, under the effect of the ritual, the power of the evil gods that fell into the hands of the mad witches was basically under their control, and even the original owner could not interfere in the slightest.
but!
The status of the Outer God is what it is, and only after the Mad Witch reaches the sixth rank and officially integrates all his power will the drawbacks of these Outer God powers be completely eliminated!
But what's most disgusting is that before this, these powers from the Outer Gods not only didn't have any negative effects on the mad witches themselves, but on the contrary, they became a protective charm for them!
Before entering the sixth tier, once the Mad Witch dies, the power from the Outer God will lose all restraint. It will not only wantonly destroy and corrode everything around it, but it will also tear apart the protection of the real world and release the coordinates of the real world to all the Outer Gods!
Compared to the former, the latter is what is most difficult for all parties to accept.
Because those Outer Gods are usually very cunning, and very few of them will confront you head-on. Faced with such a great opportunity to invade, they will only launch a feigned attack on the front while secretly infiltrating the real world to prepare for even greater destruction!
Therefore, every mad witch is a dirty bomb with extremely serious consequences!
Killing is impossible; the only options are expulsion or imprisonment.
Originally, such a group of people with such great potential for future trouble should not continue to exist, but unfortunately, due to certain reasons, we cannot interfere with the emergence of mad witches, and sometimes we even have to ensure their existence.
Therefore, there is even a law mechanism in this world that can seal away a dying mad witch and prevent her from dying.
But that’s a story for another day.
In short, Isaac is quite troublesome for the Mechanicus, as they cannot kill him. For the Flesh and Blood Cult, as long as Isaac is not completely dead, it does not take much effort to save him.
So, although it was supposed to be an emergency meeting, it had been going on for ten minutes now, but no one had spoken yet.
Because I really don't know how to handle this...
However, this stalemate couldn't go on. Finally, a fourth-tier witch hesitantly raised her hand and cautiously said, "How about... I deal with him? I won't kill him, but I'll keep him under control and prevent him from causing further destruction on the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her in surprise, their eyes filled with admiration. After all, not everyone has the courage to stand in front of a mop covered in poop!
After their initial surprise, everyone frowned slightly.
First, they have to admit that this is indeed a solution that can prevent Isaac from being killed and stop him from wreaking havoc on the battlefield. The only problem is that it requires sacrificing a fourth-tier combatant, which would put them at a certain disadvantage on the battlefield.
But that's not so bad. What really gives them a headache is something else – what if they get infected?
It's important to understand that while the wizards of the Cult of Mechanism revere constructs and are keen on modifying their own bodies, they are still legendary wizards, essentially the same as mad wizards. They can easily be infected and assimilated by mad wizards and become mad wizards themselves!
Because in this world, high-level knowledge, especially extraordinary knowledge, inherently possesses power, particularly the knowledge of Outer Gods, whose power is both strong and evil!
But in the end, everyone just frowned and did not reject the proposal.
Because they couldn't think of any other way to restrain Isaac, everyone finally looked at the leading group of fifth-tier wizards.
After a moment of contemplation, one of the fifth-tier wizards, dressed in white robes, gently tapped his chest. His chest instantly transformed into a sophisticated machine that slowly dissipated, from which a blue chip flew out and floated in front of the witch.
"This is the Wisdom Source No. 3 that I created using fragments of the Godhead of the Lord of Stars. Install this and it can help you resist mental pollution below the sixth level. As long as you don't actively study the [Original] that kid obtained from the Outer God, there won't be any problems."
Upon hearing the wizard's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and smiled at the witch.
The witch nodded, put the chip away, and planned to install it on herself later. After all, it was made from a fragment of a sixth-order god's divine essence, and couldn't be used like a pop-up drug.
After discussing Isaac's matter, the group naturally began to discuss other things. It was not easy for so many high-level wizards to take the time to gather together, so naturally they would not only discuss this one matter.
……
On the other side, Isaac, who had gained a clear understanding of the mad wizard's interpersonal relationships for the first time, returned to the wizard tower somewhat disheartened. He stood alone at the top of the wizard tower, looking down at the busy little people below.
"Why are you back so early this time?" Rona's figure appeared behind Isaac, walking forward as she asked curiously, handing him a glass of juice. "Want to try some? This is a magical drink I just learned to make!"
"Why do you suddenly want to learn magical cooking?" Isaac asked curiously as he took the juice.
"You...want to learn? Hehe~ How does it taste?"
Isaac took a small sip, stared blankly at the expectant Rona, then glanced at Smith and his familiars bustling about in the territory below, and smiled slightly: "It's delicious!"
Chapter 256 Hey fellow travelers?
After returning to his territory, Isaac did not go to the Endless Sea to carry out the mission of the Cult of Flesh and Blood again. One reason was that the sacrifice he had made last time was too big, and he needed to lay low for a while.
Although, given the mad witch's despicable nature, major powers primarily expel them rather than kill them.
But Isaac wouldn't see it as a shield. They just didn't want to kill, not that they couldn't. If they were provoked, they would still kill without hesitation, so it was safer to avoid them for the time being.
