The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 176

Of course, Sauron did not believe that his former foolish kin could become wizards, such a great and extraordinary profession. He himself was able to become a wizard only because of His Majesty's influence.

Moreover, let alone wizards, even knights and warriors would be in trouble, since the brains of normal goblins are too small and their physical potential is ridiculously low.

But isn't it true that the wizarding world has almost limitless possibilities?

In this world, there is a way to become an extraordinary being without needing brains, physical talent, or magical talent, and it is closely related to goblins—Goblin Slayer!

Goblin Slayer: All you need to do is perform a simple ritual and dress up in the right way to become a Goblin Slayer who can become stronger by killing goblins!

While it's somewhat absurd and inhumane to make goblins goblin slayers, goblins aren't human, so what difference does it make whether humans are inhuman or not?

Moreover, Sauron believed that goblins, with their tiny brains, absolutely did not possess such moral concepts.

Therefore, Sauron believed that this experiment was worth trying. On the one hand, it could help him get through his period of magical turmoil more quickly through research; on the other hand, it was his first attempt to establish his own anchor.

Legend has it that a wizard's anchor point is the world itself, not a specific race. It doesn't mean that anything beneficial to humanity is necessary to anchor a point; it's just that humanity is the dominant species in this world, and its numbers and quality are top-notch. Therefore, things that benefit humanity are more likely to become anchor points.

But this doesn't mean it can only benefit humans; for example, it could also benefit goblins.

After all, goblins are a part of this world.

Furthermore, at first glance, this experiment seems to be an act of aiding the enemy. After all, goblins are the enemy of mankind, and Sauron's current stance is undoubtedly on the side of mankind. If the goblins become stronger, it will only be mankind that suffers.

But don't forget, the most important prerequisite for a goblin to become stronger, or even become a superhuman, is that it must first become a goblin slayer!

Then, one must slaughter a large number of goblins, and in the process, one's intelligence is enhanced, which makes it possible to become a superhuman.

In other words, if Sauron's experiment were to succeed, then every Goblin Superhuman would be surrounded by an endless pile of goblin corpses!

Whether it will be harmful or beneficial to humans at that time remains to be seen.

……

Meanwhile, just as Isaac was fully immersed in his research, the situation outside underwent a dramatic change, even a complete upheaval!

And all these changes happened in the Endless Sea!

The first event was the battle for the divine title that helped the Terra Empire achieve partial victory. Interestingly, there were actually divine titles involved in this ritual, complete divine titles, the kind that could easily make one a god if obtained!

It's far superior to the corpse of Ifans.

With its powerful national strength, the Terra Empire actually achieved decisive victories in the initial competition, whether it was the first, second, third, or even fourth tier. Only the competition for the fifth tier was not so smooth, but it still gained a certain advantage.

But that's where the drama begins.

After the ritual for the battle for divinity concluded, the divine essence did indeed appear, but not at any of the existing ritual sites. Instead, it appeared on the deserted island that Isaac had previously cleared...

But that deserted island...

It's already been sunk by Isaac...

Although the Terra Empire itself had also sent a certain number of forces to guard the area, accidents can happen unexpectedly. Just as the god appeared and the Terra Empire's people were about to contain him, a fourth-tier knight suddenly passed by...

then……

There's no after that.

This is divine status!

It's a wild deity!

For wizards, becoming a god is a question worth considering, but for knights, it is undoubtedly a smooth path!

So without any hesitation, he picked it up and ran!

As for the Terra Empire, not only was the divine power they were about to obtain stolen, they didn't even know who stole it!

There was no other way. The Endless Sea had just appeared. Those with average prophetic abilities were useless, and those with strong prophetic abilities dared not use them. No one dared to gamble on the idea of ​​a great wizard at this time, not even a demigod.

That's why the Terra Empire couldn't determine the location of the deity.

Of course, one of the most important reasons for their major mistake was that while they were participating in the battle for divinity, they were also waging a near-total war against the apostles and believers of the Lord of Flesh and Blood!

It is said that the demigod emperor and the Lord of billions of flesh and blood had a brief exchange of blows outside the world!

Although the Emperor ultimately emerged victorious, it was merely a brief exchange. The Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood not only suffered no losses but was even more enraged. There were even rumors that He had gone to the God of War, preparing to give the Terra Empire a severe beating!

The rumors were outrageous, but they spread all over the world in a very short time, which clearly indicates that someone was stirring things up behind the scenes.

Of course, more importantly, it's fucking real!

So, for a time, the once-powerful Terra Empire suddenly began to show signs of being on the verge of collapse.

Chapter 238 Nemesis? A mere clown!

While Isaac was making great strides in his development, the atmosphere in the inner palace of the Terra Empire's capital was unusually solemn.

Inside the inner hall, there were only six people: the eldest prince, who sat at the head of the table; standing on either side were Sarod Felman, the Grand Master of the Royal Mage Order; Mensa Balo, the Archmage and leader of the Stargazing Tower; Iris Fischl, the Grand Master of the Royal Knights; Constantine Calvin, the Prime Minister; and Princess Filo.

Of the six people in the inner palace at this time, apart from the eldest princess Filo, the other five can be said to be the true rulers of the Terra Empire.

After all, most of the experts above the fourth rank are looking for opportunities to advance further. Most of them do not have much desire for power, but they just do not hold power. When the empire needs them, they will still act quickly.

For example, the battle for godhood in the Endless Sea.

Therefore, the solemn expressions on the faces of these five people showed that the empire was really in trouble this time, and it was big trouble!

Unlike others, although rumors about the empire's crisis were rampant, many people were just having fun and didn't believe the empire would perish because of it, including those who were stirring up emotions behind the scenes.

After all, the Emperor's demigod status was earned through sheer bloodshed, built upon countless corpses!

There are even two deities among them, one an outer god and the other a true god!

You know, how old is an emperor?

Such a formidable record is comparable to that of many veteran demigods.

Therefore, whether outside or inside the empire, few people believed that this was truly a crisis for the empire.

But the six people present were different, because compared to the others, they also knew a very important piece of information—the emperor's destined death!

With the emperor present, the empire was naturally safe and secure. No matter how great the difficulties, they believed that the empire would be safe and sound. This was the confidence that the emperor gave them.

But what if the emperor is no longer there?

This kind of thing is so terrifying that they don't even want to think about it!

But what's even more terrifying is that this is true!

And nobody knows when it will arrive!

The emperor only foresaw his own death, but the exact time and cause of his death remained unknown.

The only thing that can be roughly deduced is that after his death, Isaac was still at the third rank and did not break through to the fourth rank, because in another of his prophecies, the Terra Empire was destroyed by the high wizard Isaac leading a huge army of monsters!

Although this future may not be real, and even if it is, it can be altered, we can infer from it that the emperor at that time was definitely dead, and dead beyond any doubt.

Otherwise, Isaac would never have taken action.

They had done a lot of research on the only two mad witches in the empire and understood that although Isaac had done many crazy things, he was actually a very steady, patient, and intelligent person.

Such a smart person would not act rashly.

That's the main reason why they were so nervous.

Because Isaac is already a high-ranking wizard...

Moreover, he has already advanced for some time. Although the advanced wizard stage is different from the previous levels, and the more talented a person is, the longer they stay at this level, but... a mad wizard cannot be judged by common sense...

Who knows if he'll advance to the fourth tier again as quickly as before?

Therefore, the empire actually doesn't have much time left.

And it is very likely that this is the incident of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood calling for reinforcements!

Demigods are indeed fearless of gods; the Emperor even killed two gods, but all of this has one condition—it has to be a one-on-one fight!

This is clearly not a one-on-one fight, so the Emperor is very likely to fall at the hands of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood...

What's more troublesome is that, although they had been preparing for this for a long time, they were still somewhat at a loss when the situation actually came to them.

Because this matter is indeed very big.

The only way for the Empire to survive this crisis is for it to produce another demigod!

but……

Mensa and the others glanced discreetly at the eldest prince, who was at the head of the table, and the eldest princess, who was at the bottom. They sighed inwardly; the time was still too short…

Both the eldest prince and the eldest princess possess the potential to become demigods!

Give them time, and they will become demigods sooner or later, and perhaps even faster than the Emperor of yesteryear!

After all, one of them is a mad witch. Any mad witch has almost limitless potential. As long as they don't die, becoming a demigod is practically a certainty. Of course, most mad witches die along the way, but at least they definitely have potential.

another……

Although his own talents were slightly inferior to those of the original owner, he had the [Boundless] power he had plundered, plus the resources of the Terra royal family, so it could be said that there were no obstacles on his path to becoming a demigod.

but……

The same problem remains—time!

It took a lot of time just to fuse with the [Boundless] power. After the fusion was complete, the cultivation speed was indeed very fast, but now he is only a high-level knight, still a long way from being a demigod!

After all, a knight needs to be at least Rank 6 to obtain the title of demigod! (Note: Rank 3 is high-level, Rank 4 is miraculous, and Rank 5 is legendary)

There are still two major ranks in between, and that chasm is not so easy to cross.

The original divine spark in the battle for the divine spark was the closest they came to success. Although as time goes by, true gods can no longer interfere with the real world as easily as demigods, at least in the near future, it will not be affected. This is enough to buy the eldest prince and the eldest princess enough time to grow.

pity……

In the end, however, all their efforts were in vain!

The divine essence was stolen by an unknown fourth-tier powerhouse...

They stole it from that troublesome place, the Endless Sea, leaving them with a wealth of skills but nowhere to use them...

This gave them an inexplicable feeling that the Terra Empire was being targeted by fate...

It cast a shadow over their hearts...

"Whoo~"

Just as the six people in the inner hall were frowning in worry, a gentle breeze swept by, and a figure draped in golden light suddenly appeared in the inner hall. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window.
