The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 120

Despite being only the size of a fist, these three small objects are no different from real stars. According to historical records, they are not only the energy source of the Eternal Star Lord, but also His most powerful weapon!

At the same time, it is also the forbidden technology that Isaac desires most!

With this thing, why worry about energy?

"A wizard? Interesting. It's been a long time since a wizard has dared to make a deal with me. So, state your wish: eternal life, or forbidden knowledge?"

A message flooded into Isaac's mind, and a gentle and melodious voice echoed in his head. It was a pleasant female voice, crisp like a silver bell gently dancing in the air, delicate and moving, melodious and pleasing to the ear.

However, Isaac remained unmoved, even somewhat disdainful.

Eternal life?

It sounds tempting, but it's nothing more than turning you into a puppet or construct, and even your soul will be taken away, leaving you with only empty memories!

Forbidden knowledge?

That's true, but it's also a real taboo, because using this thing will make you a traitor!

Therefore, Isaac's goal was very clear: he only wanted the ability to activate the puppet, and he didn't need anything else from the Lord of the Eternal Star.

He'll pick it up himself!

Chapter 174 Power? Power!

"Respected Lord of the Eternal Star, I am deeply grateful for your generosity. I am humbled and dare not ask for eternal life or forbidden knowledge. I only ask that you grant me the ability to activate magical puppets," Isaac said, bowing respectfully.

"?" The Lord of Eternal Secret Star was somewhat bewildered by Isaac's somewhat humble attitude. Are all mad witches like this now?

Although he didn't understand what Isaac was up to, the Lord of the Eternal Star was still happy to grant Isaac's request, after all, the offerings he gave were indeed a lot, ten times more than those for a ceremony of the same scale!

With so many sacrifices, yet only such simple power required, even if He didn't do anything, He would still make a fortune, right?

"Satisfied... you bastard!" Just as the Lord of the Eternal Star was gleefully bestowing the [Activation] ability upon Isaac through the ritual, on the other side, Isaac in the endless void also began to make his move!

This could not be hidden from the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, which is why He roared in such anger.

However, to His surprise, He was at a disadvantage in this struggle!

However, the Outer God is still the Outer God, and in an instant he understood the root cause—excessive sacrifices!

Initially, He was puzzled as to why this wizard would offer sacrifices ten times the amount required for the ritual. He thought He had encountered a rare follower of a wizard, but then...

So it turns out they were trying to steal things from Him!

And it is His most precious possession!

That is His most important secret!

This is utterly outrageous!

……

A few breaths ago.

In the mysterious void.

Isaac stared wide-eyed at the "sun" in the sky, for it was something that shouldn't be there!

Although Outer Gods are gods, they are not omniscient or omnipotent. They are merely beings who have reached the pinnacle of a certain path. They can do many things and possess many things, but there are also many things they cannot do and many things they cannot possess.

For example, the Lord of Eternal Secret Star, as an Outer God of the Mechanical type, is one of the most powerful Outer Gods in terms of combat strength and methods. He is not inferior to veteran Demon Gods like the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood. However, no matter how strong he is, he cannot possess authority, which is determined by his life form!

But now, the information released by the huge "sun" above the mysterious void clearly tells Isaac that this is power!

The exact nature of the power is currently unknown, but that doesn't matter, because whatever the power may be, he wants it!

All those plans and taboo knowledge are utter nonsense!

The power that allows mechanical Outer Gods to break the limits of life is obviously a good thing!

Since shortcuts are the fastest way to go, you should definitely pick up the best things when you need them!

So after realizing what was happening, Isaac didn't hesitate for a moment. Ignoring the other stars in the void, he manipulated the power of the ritual towards the largest "sun" in the sky!

Of course, Isaac also knew that gaining power did not mean he could obtain the technology of the Lord of the Eternal Star to break through the limitations of life and gain power. However, among the Outer Gods, the Mechanical Outer Gods possessed the most forbidden knowledge. Finding the one he needed among so much forbidden knowledge was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, even if he obtained it, he might not be able to use it with his current strength. So it would be better to take a step back and directly acquire the power. In any case, the power that would make Him go to such great lengths to acquire must be extraordinary!

He gets the result first, and maybe he can figure out the cause on his own later!

However, his movement immediately alerted the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star. According to the original plan, he should have acted secretly to avoid being discovered by the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star in order to maximize his gains.

After all, He has a lot of forbidden knowledge, so as long as the action is subtle, it will not attract His attention.

But powers are different. This thing is not only a unique individual, but also the secret of the Lord of the Eternal Star. So, the moment Isaac made his move, he was discovered.

But it doesn't matter. He found it, so he found it. He, Isaac, was perfectly aboveboard. These were all things scattered in the mysterious void that no one wanted. Whoever picked them up could keep them!

Immediately, the power controlling the ritual began to interact with the main power of the Eternal Star Lord. Visibly, under the interference of the Eternal Star Lord, the speed at which Isaac's ritual power eroded the "sun" suddenly slowed down.

But even at its slowest pace, it is still a gradual erosion, which indicates that Isaac has the upper hand in the struggle against the Lord of the Eternal Star!

It sounds incredible that a mortal can gain the upper hand in a struggle against a god, but it is actually quite normal.

Firstly, within the second-order ritual, the power that the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star can exert is very limited due to the dual constraints of the legendary gate and the ritual itself.

Secondly, Isaac used his cheat ability to gain ten times the ritual power of a second-order ritual, far exceeding the power that the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star could unleash.

In this way, it is only natural to gain an advantage.

The Lord of the Eternal Star naturally noticed this as well. He knew that things couldn't continue like this, or his losses would be too great. He didn't know what was going on with this scoundrel, that he could use so much ritual power. A direct confrontation was not advisable!

Of course, the direct confrontation must continue; otherwise, without His intervention, Isaac would likely steal His power very quickly.

Therefore, He was multitasking, on the one hand preventing the treacherous villain from seizing His power, and on the other hand, speeding up the completion of Isaac's ritual requirements, namely, granting him the power to bring the inanimate to life.

This made Him extremely frustrated; His wish had been taken from Him, and He was still expected to have it granted. This was just... infuriating.

Hey!

But bestowing power is the most complex of all wishes. Even a very simple and ordinary power takes a considerable amount of time, because it is different from the power they bestow upon their believers. According to legend, the power they bestow must be pure and untainted...

However, the power of the Outer Gods has long since acquired a corrosive nature over the long years, and the idea of ​​having backup plans has long been ingrained in their instincts. It is too unsettling for them to suddenly do good deeds.

But we have to do it, no matter how slow it is, otherwise that scoundrel will steal too much!

Time ticked by, and despite the obstruction of the Lord of the Eternal Star, Isaac's erosion of power continued methodically, but the progress was...

However, it was not ideal, after all, the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star was not someone to be trifled with.

The ability to revitalize inanimate objects was granted smoothly; he could clearly feel a special power developing within his body, but it would still take some time before it was fully formed.

However, although there is still some room for maneuver, Isaac is already preparing to stop, because the success rate is now close to 500%, and he is about to reach the safety line he set for himself.

Furthermore, although the progress of the erosion is not ideal due to the obstruction of the Lord of the Eternal Star, the current share is already enough to condense power, and that is enough.

Even if there are weaknesses, it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Having made his decision, Isaac decisively took the power he had acquired and left the mysterious void, leaving behind only a bewildered Lord of the Eternal Star...

Chapter 175 Premium Client: Lord of the Eternal Secret Star

In the mysterious void, the Lord of the Eternal Star stood frozen in front of the "Sun," while silver streams of power poured out in all directions like flowing water.

This is because Isaac suddenly stopped, thus losing the effect of blocking.

"asshole!!!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, boundless anger followed!

He never expected Isaac to be so decisive. Aren't mad witches just a bunch of greedy hyenas and gamblers? Damn it, you still have more than half your chips left, why are you running away!

The reason He was so angry was that the normal transaction on the other end had come to an end with His efforts and cooperation, and the power He gave was absolutely uncontaminated and without any hidden agendas.

The reason for this cooperation is to quickly free up resources to focus all efforts on the struggle against the mysterious void.

Although He retreated again and again in the mysterious void, having lost much of His power to Isaac and seemingly powerless to resist, He was, after all, an Outer God with a very high status and many methods.

Once He has freed His hands, He can not only reclaim His power, but He can also make Isaac suffer a great loss!

Of course, since the transaction was over and the ritual was completed, He could only let Isaac suffer a loss instead of killing him directly.

but!

but!

Who knew that this scoundrel would stop so quickly!

It was over before He even prepared to retaliate!

Damn it, how can you be so cowardly? You're a disgrace to the Mad Witch!

he tui!

The Lord of Eternal Stars withdrew his power with a disgruntled expression. After carefully checking and confirming that Isaac had not left any tricks up his sleeve and had truly retreated, he finally withdrew from the mysterious void with a frustrated look on his face.

Of course He was frustrated, because Isaac's withdrawal not only denied Him a chance to counterattack, but also allowed Him to successfully bring back all His gains. Moreover, He had to do His best to grant Isaac the ability to revive inanimate objects!

Because nearly half of the ritual energy remains, and due to His previous active cooperation, the bestowal of power is now nearing its end. Even if the ritual energy is insufficient, He doesn't have enough time...

grass! ! !

Soon, the transaction ceremony ended. The Lord of Eternal Secret Star looked constipated and looked away from the present world, while Isaac happily began to take stock of his gains.

First is the activation ability. The Lord of the Eternal Secret Star gave him a rather unique spell called the Heart of the Secret Star. Constructs activated by this spell will have their intelligence and potential greatly enhanced. It is the core ability of the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star!

This was somewhat unexpected for Isaac. Based on his own rough guess, this thing was likely a spell used to activate the Lord of the Eternal Star!

This puzzled Isaac. The spell itself was quite good; otherwise, it wouldn't have been used to activate the Lord of the Eternal Star. Furthermore, after He became an Outer God, the spell became imbued with a lot of mystery, making it even more divine. Why would the Lord of the Eternal Star be so generous?

What Isaac didn't know was that this was a painful choice made by the Lord of the Eternal Star in order to complete the ritual transaction as soon as possible. If He could, He wouldn't want to benefit Isaac so easily, but there was no other way. Only this spell could allow Him to complete the bestowal at the fastest speed, without any follow-up or side effects.

Unfortunately, Isaac's timely withdrawal ruined all of His plans, turning Him into a clown...

Although Isaac didn't understand why the Lord of the Eternal Star would give him such a good thing, it didn't matter; once it was given to him, it was his!

The ceremony proceeded very smoothly, and the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star had absolutely no chance to tamper with it, so there was nothing to worry about.

Besides the Heart of the Secret Star, the real gain from this ritual was the power he received!

As it turns out, his change of target was absolutely worthwhile!

He received the power called "Analysis" from the Lord of the Eternal Star. It doesn't have any strong offensive power, and it doesn't even have many decent power spells.
