The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 227

Compared to when he set off, the return journey was much faster for Isaac, thanks to the noble spatial teleportation.

Therefore, when Isaac returned to the underground city, he had not yet collected all the materials for the Ten Gods Book. He had only collected a small portion, and the progress was not ideal. Fortunately, Isaac did not only conduct experiments during this trip. He also visited the three major magic cities and some nearby smaller magic cities and had a brief conversation with them. He was able to purchase some of the materials directly from them.

Of course, at this stage, we can only trade with nearby magic cities. The three major magic cities are quite far away, and the procedures are quite complicated if we want to officially start trade. First, we need to prepare a teleportation array. Second, apart from the Arcane City, the other two were built by legendary mages, so we need to find a way to isolate them from the influence of the mysterious attribute.

The teleportation array is easy to solve; it's not difficult for Isaac right now. As for the cost, the all-powerful ritual will solve that problem!

However, the latter is more troublesome. There are only three ways to isolate the influence of the mysterious attribute. The first is to increase one's own mysterious attribute. As the mysterious attribute increases, the related resistance will naturally increase. The second is to learn spells specifically designed to resist the mysterious. The mysterious attribute derived from the magical city can be dealt with by first-tier spells.

Finally, there are magical items, which are the most numerous and common items in the wizarding world, as they increase resistance to a certain attribute.

There's no way around it; low-level superhumans love this stuff the most, especially adventurers. They deal with monsters all year round, and sometimes this resistance can save their lives. The key is that it's cheap, making it extremely cost-effective!

Normally, this shouldn't be a problem, because the main fighting force in Isaac's underground city consists of divine followers. As followers of high rank, their own mysterious attributes should be quite high.

However, there are always unexpected events.

This incident led Isaac to discover a flaw that wasn't really a flaw of virtual deities—their followers did not inherit high mystical attributes from them!

It's bizarre, but after a little research, Isaac found that it was understandable, because the mystical attributes of virtual deities are also fake, and they have no effect once they leave the virtual deity itself.

Therefore, Isaac could only choose the latter two methods in the end. He didn't need to make the relevant items himself, as they were sold in the Arcane City. Although spells were difficult to learn, as followers of the gods, they did not need to learn them and could use divine spells directly. For a fourth-order god, learning a first-order divine spell was not difficult.

Overall, neither method was difficult for Isaac, just a little troublesome...

After a moment's thought, Isaac decided to proceed with both plans simultaneously. He first built a teleportation array for the underground city, and then spent some time modifying a first-tier divine spell. This might be a bit troublesome for other wizards, but for Isaac, it was just a matter of course.

After all, he had done something similar back when he was at the first level.

However, things didn't always go smoothly...

Once the teleportation array and divine magic were ready, the other magical cities all refused entry to the underground city!

It indicates that transactions are possible, but only within the underground city, and must be conducted at fixed times. Personnel between the two parties are prohibited from moving around!

Those extraordinary individuals who had previously come to the underground city to explore its dungeons were all, without exception, rejected by their original magical city...

The reason is simple: because of Isaac...

Previously, no one knew that Isaac was behind the underground city. Like the demon god, everyone thought they were two self-destructive true gods. That's why low-level superhumans from nearby magic cities came to communicate with them. This was also at the behest of the fourth-level powerhouse behind them.

They were also very curious about the purpose of these two self-severing true gods.

but……

When Isaac finally stood on the stage, they were all completely dumbfounded...

There was even a hint of fear in it!

Mad witches are a thorn in the side of the gods, whether they are righteous or other gods.

After all, wizards inherently lack reverence for gods, let alone the most insane mad wizards. They also knew a thing or two about Isaac's reputation; even those mad wizards called him a madman!

How could a person like this possibly have a god cooperating with him?

Or should they sever their own true god? You must know that nowadays wizards are the kings of the extraordinary paths. At the same level, wizards are stronger than most extraordinary paths, not to mention that there are also extremely special wizards, such as the mad wizards who "attack gods".

Two fourth-tier true gods going to cooperate with the mad witch Isaac is like lighting a lamp in the toilet.

Therefore, those two were either not true self-destructive gods, or they did not voluntarily decapitate themselves, or they were unlucky enough to encounter Isaac after their arrival. In any case, they certainly did not cooperate with Isaac voluntarily.

But regardless of the possibility, they all point to one thing—this madman has finally turned against the gods! And the true gods at that!

They wouldn't want to have any interaction with ordinary mad witches, let alone a madman like Isaac.

But they didn't dare to completely cut off communication, since Isaac had come to them. If they refused him, who knew what this madman would do?

Everyone is at level four, and no one dares to say they can definitely beat Isaac. As the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble.

Ultimately, after much negotiation, the current situation was reached—the extraordinary individuals who had previously flooded into the underground city would gather on the spot and form a chamber of commerce to be responsible for trade between the major magic cities and the underground city.

All transactions, in other magical cities, are conducted by magical puppets, and no living beings are allowed to participate!

Of course, since they made something that was originally simple so complicated, they also provided corresponding compensation: all basic supplies were discounted by 30%, mid-to-low-level extraordinary materials by 20%, and high-level third-tier materials by 10%.

As for the top-tier materials of the fourth tier, there are no discounts. After all, these things are also very precious to other fourth-tier superhumans. The fact that they are available for trade with Isaac is already a great favor to him.

If this were in the real world, they would definitely run away as fast as they could!

They won't give Isaac a chance to make a trade!

Isaac had no choice but to agree. Although things had become more complicated, the outcome remained the same, the goal was still achieved, and the other party had shown great sincerity.

However, the feeling of being discriminated against was really unpleasant, which made Isaac secretly cheer himself up. He was determined to create the God Familiar as soon as possible, and the official God Books should be woven entirely with the power of the true gods. He was determined to correct his art style!

We must strive to flatten the mountain of prejudice in people's hearts!

And so, time slowly passed. Six months later, the materials for the Ten Gods Book and the God fragments required for the virtual Godhood were all prepared. The experiment on the Gods Book could officially begin!

Chapter 310 The Divine Familiar Elf Bow Tristie!

In the underground laboratory of the underground city, Isaac looked at the Mother Goddess Mishukant, who had come to deliver the fragments of divinity, and frowned slightly. This guy... was being eroded by [divinity] too quickly, wasn't he?

In just six months, Isaac has already lost much of his humanity. By the end of the year at the latest, he will have completely lost his humanity!

This is not good...

While Isaac needed a God-like familiar, Mishukant was clearly not on his radar. After all, the Mother Goddess's combat power was rather average, and this guy was just a super-sized support.

It seems the experiment to suppress [divinity] needs to be done sooner rather than later...

Compared to the underground city, the existence of Meshkant is very special and important. It's not that it can't lose its humanity. Under normal circumstances, it's only a matter of time before it loses its humanity, so this thing is actually not that important to it.

This is at least true for virtual deities.

But no matter how unimportant it may seem, one cannot lose one's humanity too early. Otherwise, Isaac might be alright here, but once he leaves the Boundless Tower, Meshkant, dominated by divinity, will leave the underground city and, following the instinct of divinity, spread his divine power throughout the entire Wilderness Underground Palace, and even break through outwards!

This is not a good thing for either the underground city or Mishukant itself.

Because He is too weak, let alone leaving the Wilderness Dungeon, He would be destroyed by other fourth-tier monsters within the Wilderness Dungeon itself. At the same time, the Dungeon City would also suffer a great loss of vitality due to the loss of Meshkant.

After all, they were their creators, and Isaac naturally didn't want to see this happen.

He waved for Mishukant to leave with the [Evil Eye]. The creation of the divine fragments still needed to continue. Of the three gods of the underground city, He was the most idle, so He naturally needed to continue his efforts.

After Meshkant left, Isaac began to create a new virtual deity. This time, he chose divine powers from the Elf God, the Treant, and the Forest Archer, all of whom were Elf deities.

Since it's a virtual deity for elves, the compatibility naturally needs to be high.

Soon, a green crystal engraved with the image of a long-eared elf archer appeared in Isaac's hand.

God's Name: Elf Bow

Divine Powers: Summon Treants, Shoot, Elves

Theocracy: Hunting

As the faint light faded, Isaac, having learned about the information of this virtual godhood, nodded in satisfaction. The result was close to what he had calculated beforehand; all three divine powers were quite practical, and the Summon Treant, when used at full power, could summon a powerful fourth-tier treant!

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of divine power, His own power will not decrease in any way. He can summon treants as the front line and shield, while taking the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot arrows. Whether he is fighting with Isaac or fighting alone, he is very good.

As for the Divine Power of the Elf, this divine power has almost no impact on combat. Generally speaking, this kind of racial divine power has two functions: one is to help gods spread their faith, especially racial gods.

Secondly, it can provide considerable benefits to its followers and believers, and these benefits are divided into active and passive. The passive benefits are comprehensive improvements to basic attributes, and even the mysterious luck attribute can be improved, although the improvement is not much.

As for active buffs, those are amazing! They can significantly increase attributes in a very short time, which is commonly known as "bursting power"!

Of course, neither of these two effects is of any use to Isaac. The power limit of the virtual deity is already locked. Developing faith is not only useless, but will also attract the hostility of the church, which is not worth the effort.

As for their families...

What kind of familiars does a familiar need?

Isaac's needs are different from those of the underground city. Back in the real world, he doesn't lack first or second-tier combat power. Besides, even if he did, Isaac is far superior to gods in creating such low-level superhumans.

However, the power of the [Elf] is of little use to virtual gods, but it is somewhat useful to Isaac. It was prepared by Isaac for himself, and he plans to use this power to forge an artifact, to see if it can give the Elf Bow some growth ability, just like the artifact Blood Pool.

Of course, not all outcomes were within Isaac's control. For example, divine power was not what Isaac originally thought it was from the "elves." He was originally aiming for the racial god, so the divine power came from the elven gods.

But then, unexpectedly, a "hunting" event occurred...

It's a bit too biased.

"Is it because there's already an Elf God? But that doesn't make sense. I've never heard of a race having a unique god." Isaac stroked his chin, looking at the virtual godhood with some doubt.

The racial gods of this world are not unique; at least most of them are not unique. For example, the Elven race has four racial gods in the broad sense!

If we further subdivide the Elf race, such as including Tree Elves, Wind Elves, High Elves, Night Elves, and even Half-Elves, the number could easily exceed double digits!

Furthermore, if we include those from the Outer Gods as well, the number is almost in the triple digits!

So it's unlikely that the quantity is limited or something. After examining it for a moment, Isaac didn't see anything different. He shook his head and threw the virtual godhood onto the sleeping elf lying on the operating table beside him.

A dazzling divine light flashed, and the tides of divine power surged. Miraculous forces transformed into invisible fluctuations, merging into the elf's body along with the illusory ritual of becoming a god.

Soon, the fusion was complete, and the elf on the operating table slowly opened his eyes. His golden-green eyes were devoid of any emotion. He stood up, his emerald green leather armor clinging to his slender body, and bowed to Isaac expressionlessly.

"Tristi, the Elven Bow, greets the Lord."

After bowing respectfully, Tristy stood aside, head bowed, awaiting Isaac's command.

Isaac looked Tristia up and down, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. Just as he had thought, if Miracle Domination was activated directly during the fusion of divinity, then [divinity] could directly replace [humanity], unlike the Blood Lord who needed a certain amount of time to adjust.

However, it is still uncertain what drawbacks this method may have, and it needs further observation.

Keeping this in mind, Isaac casually set up a ritual to summon an evil god, took a wisp of the evil god's power, wove it into a virtual divine core, and then threw it to the elf.

"Take it to the underground palace to devour the flesh and blood of demons. Once it's condensed, you can work with Meshkant to create godhood fragments."

“Yes, Lord God.” Tristy accepted the illusory virtual divine spark, nodded, and transformed into a beam of divine light, flying out of the underground laboratory.

"Alright, we can start compiling the Book of Gods!" Isaac flexed his fingers, looking at the pile of materials in front of him with great anticipation, a slight smile playing on his lips.
