The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 91

The Mad Wizards' year-end gathering lasted for a week, and Isaac gained a lot during that time. After all, it was the Mad Wizards' gathering, and most of the wizards mainly discussed the Outer Gods.

Although none of his ideas were as crazy as Isaac's, the various whimsical thoughts still gave him a lot of inspiration.

Especially regarding the forced wake-up.

Contrary to popular belief, most so-called "mad witches" today are actually quite cautious!

Yes, although they are bold enough to make deals with Outer Gods, they are actually quite cowardly.

This duality of recklessness and cowardice is present in almost all mad witches, including Philo and Isaac, who are recognized as madmen within the Empire.

For example, Princess Philo would never conduct a ritual involving the evil god if she didn't have the Emperor's Decree. Also, Isaac would never take action unless the success rate of the ritual was at least 1,000%.

If they were all like this, the other mad witches naturally became even more cautious.

Given the mad witches' extreme caution, their choice naturally became remarkably unified—the sleeping Outer God!

The most dangerous part of dealing with Outer Gods is that Outer Gods will not make honest deals, but will try to bypass the power of the ritual and instead swallow the wizard who presided over the ritual whole!

But what if we could make a direct deal with the sleeping Outer God...?

What's the difference between that and bringing a hypnosis phone into an all-girls school?!

Do whatever you want!

So most of the mad witches discuss these kinds of issues, and surprisingly, quite a few of them actually possess some kind of special ability.

After all, there's no limit to the wizards at this gathering, and those big shots have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. While there aren't any big shots who can manipulate Outer Gods at will, there are plenty of high-level wizards. I wonder where all these crazy wizards came from.

Isaac guessed that they were either not on the same continent or not in the same world.

The former might be similar to the wizarding world of the past, where they only live on a secondary continent, and there are even larger worlds outside the secondary continent. The latter is similar to a crystal wall universe, where there are even more worlds beyond the existing world.

Isaac leans towards the latter because, so far, he has encountered many beings beyond this world, and the extraordinary beings in this world are simply...unbelievably strong!

At the third rank, one can master time magic very smoothly, not to mention that the Terra Emperor is a demigod. If this is just a secondary continent, what level must the outer continents be?

Is it the primordial continent?

However, these are all just speculations. With Isaac's current strength, he can only get a glimpse of what this world is really like.

So Isaac didn't dwell on it too much; he figured he'd understand when the time was right.

But it wasn't without its regrets. He didn't know if it was because there were too many mad witches and he hadn't encountered one, or if that guy hadn't come, or if Isaac hadn't noticed, but this trip still yielded no clues about the murderer who cursed his mother back then.

However, Isaac wasn't in a hurry. If there were no clues, he would just continue to develop steadily. If possible, he still hoped to take revenge himself!

But achieving this is quite difficult. That guy was already a high-level wizard when he cast the curse on his mother. Now, almost twenty years have passed, and as long as he doesn't die, his strength will inevitably become even more terrifying.

Although legend has it that a wizard's magical power increases much slower after reaching the third tier, this only applies to the wizard's tier; their actual strength will only increase as their knowledge base grows.

and so……

Lord of billions of flesh and blood, here I come!

Having just finished the party, Isaac, still in the heat of the moment, quickly refined the ceremony, made the arrangements, and got right to it.

Before the ceremony began, Isaac habitually glanced at the success rate: 1,000 percent, the same as before.

However, Isaac remained calm, because it wasn't about the success rate of the ritual, but rather his survival rate.

It's not that Isaac didn't want to use his cheat code to determine whether the ritual would be a complete success, but rather that a ritual, unlike surgery or potion making, doesn't simply have a success or failure outcome.

During the ceremony, there is also the possibility of—or…

Unless it is a complete existing ritual, he can only see the true success rate directly; otherwise, he can only have a bias.

If you're looking at the success rate of awakening the Outer God, you can't look at the survival rate; if you're looking at the survival rate, you can't look at the success rate.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem. As long as the survival rate is guaranteed, we can try them one by one. Isaac has come this far not entirely because of his cheat code. He has also put in a lot of effort and hard work!

Before long, a crimson glow filled the entire laboratory, and Isaac's mind was transported to a mysterious void.

This void is different from the void where he took the things from the Outer Gods. According to their definition, this should be the dream of the gods, but it is the shallowest dream. The deeper dreams cannot be entered, and they are too dangerous.

In fact, for other mad witches, reaching this point would already be considered a success, because they could now trade with the Outer Gods, and most of their demands would be met, making it very safe.

However, for Isaac, this was just the beginning...

Chapter 137 Awakening Failed, Returning Home

In the dream of the gods, Isaac floated in the empty void, looking down into the deep dream below with a solemn expression. After observing for a moment, he waved his hands, drawing one mysterious symbol after another in the air.

Under Isaac's control, these strange symbols gradually formed a large-scale three-dimensional pattern.

Upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that this is an external ritual array.

A double ritual—this is the latest method Isaac has come up with.

Because the other mad witches never intended to awaken the Outer God; they only wanted to trade with the Outer God here, relying on the Outer God's half-awake state to increase the success rate of the trade.

Therefore, Isaac needs to come up with another way to awaken the Outer Gods.

Isaac's idea was simple—forced awakening!

On the surface of the dream of the gods, a plundering ritual is constructed, skipping the transaction process and forcibly plundering the power source of the outer god, triggering the outer god's instinctive defense mechanism, thereby awakening Him.

Simple and crude.

But it's also extremely dangerous. This is a method only Isaac can use because he can use his cheat code to ensure his survival.

Soon, the massive ritual array was completed. Isaac took a deep breath, glanced at the deep dream again, and then resolutely started the ritual!

A dazzling red light shot into the sky!

"Lord of billions of flesh and blood! Wake up!"

"boom!"

After a deafening roar, Isaac's vision blurred, and he opened his eyes with a helpless expression. He was back in the laboratory, and nearly half of the demonized flesh in front of him had disappeared.

Failed……

The idea was correct, but he overestimated his own abilities.

After his ritual was initiated, the defensive instincts of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood were indeed triggered, but He did not awaken as a result.

After the ritual was initiated, a crimson hand reached out from the depths of the dream and slapped Isaac's ritual circle and his mental entity away...

The direction is right, but... the details still need some optimization...

Isaac walked thoughtfully to his desk, recorded the experimental data, and placed it together with the notes from the gathering. Then he got up and began to prepare the Dragon Transformation Elixir.

It's only been a little over half a month since his eldest sister's promotion to Grand Archmage. Once he finishes making the Dragon Transformation Elixir, he'll have to set off. After all, his status is different, and he can't wait until the day of the banquet like the others.

The Solomon family is not yet as large as those great noble families, so the relationship between the brothers is not that bad.

Well, if Remington hadn't made that stupid mistake...

Thinking of Remington, Isaac, who was mixing ingredients, couldn't help but sigh. He wondered if his older brother had accepted that he had killed his second brother...

It's been so long, you should have accepted it by now... right?

Isaac shook his head, banishing his worries, and focused his attention on brewing the potion.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. Otherwise, by the time the Dragon Transformation Elixir finished its exchange meeting with the project team, the quality of the Dragon Transformation Elixir should have improved.

Now...

Although he has been promoted to Grand Wizard, the quality of the Dragon Transformation Elixir will not change as a result; at most, Isaac's refining efficiency will increase slightly.

Three days later, the Dragon Transformation Elixir was successfully brewed. Isaac put it in a transparent potion bottle, placed it in a gift box, casually tossed it into the Phase Space, and then walked out the door.

"Tear~"

Sensing Isaac's movement, Hamon, who had fallen into a half-dreaming state due to Isaac's advancement, emerged and groggily waved his paw at Isaac. A gentle breeze swirled around Isaac, carrying away the grime and strange smell.

"woke up?"

"Sigh~"

"Then get some rest. There's no fighting for now."

"hiss."

Harmon tapped his claws and retracted them back into Isaac's body.

Stepping out of the lab, Smith, Liuli, Shengzhu, and the mouse perched on Shengzhu's shoulder were already packed and waiting for Isaac at the door.

Although they were called luggage, there were only one or two small suitcases. Despite the large number of people, only Isaac and Smith actually needed to change clothes. Mouse and Holy Lord didn't wear clothes, and the clothes on Liuli's body were created along with her appearance, so it was practically the same as not wearing any clothes at all.

"Everything ready? Let's go then." Isaac smiled and walked up to the group. Then, the space behind him slowly rippled and swallowed Isaac and the others in the blink of an eye.

When they reappeared, they were already at the gates of Solomon's Castle.

"Who!" The moment Isaac and his group appeared, the guards at the castle gate changed their expressions and drew their longswords, pointing them directly at Isaac.

However, upon seeing Isaac's appearance, he immediately planted his sword in the ground, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head in apology.

"I'm sorry, young master Isaac!"

"It's alright, you did a great job." Isaac waved his hand with a smile, then looked helplessly at the barrier in the sky, which only a few people could see.

I must say, he truly deserves to be called a Grand Arcane Master.

The defensive barrier he set up couldn't even be broken through by his phase teleportation technique personally taught by the evil god; he could only reach the entrance. That's truly impressive.

"Little brother, why didn't you say anything before you came?" Isaac hadn't even looked away from examining the barrier when his older sister appeared before them. Her eyes held a mixture of relief and helplessness as she looked at Isaac.

What's gratifying is that Isaac's progress is very fast. He has advanced to the rank of Grand Wizard in such a short time. This speed is considered fast even among legendary wizards and mad wizards who are used to taking shortcuts. Moreover, he can directly use spatial magic to teleport to the castle gate.

It's important to understand that the barrier she set up not only isolates the space inside the barrier, but also prevents anyone without the necessary permissions from teleporting within a 10,000-meter radius of the barrier's edge!

However, Isaac teleported directly to the castle gate, demonstrating his formidable strength.

But Cheryl also knew that such immense power could not have been learned through normal means; it most likely came from some Outer God…

However, Isaac's path to madness was unstoppable, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Isn't it because I just got stronger and wanted to test the methods of a Grand Archmage?" Isaac chuckled.

"What do you think?"

"Unfathomable!" Isaac exclaimed admiringly.

"Heh~ Do you have to tell me that? Let's go, Father will be happy to see you advance..." Cheryl suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, sighed, "Father will be happy to see you here."
