Isaac already had the foundation for this method in hand—the dimensional world.
The magic of the dimensional world is inherently difficult to deal with, and after he incorporated the powers of the Deep Sea Corruptor, it became even more troublesome. More importantly, he also has a large number of dimensional apostles who are not afraid of death and can work for him. Therefore, choosing this method also means...
He could handle all these tasks by himself!
No amount of odd jobs can make money as fast as contracting.
Moreover, the work is done by dimensional apostles; they only need to complete the preliminary preparations. It's like they can earn money while lying at home!
This preparation was not difficult; it simply involved gathering more power from the Outer Gods. What truly made Isaac's expression turn serious was that he saw traces of another mad witch in the data provided by the cult!
And it was also a trace of the mad witch he had been searching for!
Master of Pranks!
The culprit who cursed Isaac's mother, causing her to die in childbirth!
Over the years, Isaac had been trying to find traces of him, and had even prepared a share of Outer God power for him, just waiting for the right moment to obtain the power from that person and then locate him.
However, I've been too busy lately, so this matter has been postponed again and again.
Of course, another reason was that he had previously learned that this guy had appeared in the battle between the Flesh Cult and the Mechanicus, so he planned to take care of him as well.
However, after so much time without any trace, Isaac was almost ready to give up and revert to his original plan to find him. Unexpectedly, he discovered his trail at this very moment...
Really...
A sharp glint flashed in Isaac's eyes. [Analysis] While activating his full power, he multitasked, sending orders to his familiars and wizards, instructing them to stop all their current tasks and carry out Isaac's commands!
Among them, the Dimensional Apostles poured into the battlefields of the Flesh Cult and the Mechanicus Cult to gather more data and intelligence for Isaac. The Magic Eye Wizard Sauron put down his research project and restarted the Dimensional Magic Enhancement Program. The Holy Lord stopped practicing the new magic spell and teamed up with the Rat, who had also stopped his research, to collect materials needed for the Outer Gods trade for Isaac in various places.
Smith and Lorna, along with the Madhearts, went on a shopping spree in Lake Town, the Truth Society, the Flesh Cult, and the trading markets run by various organizations, collecting every possible ritual material!
This time, Isaac is going to go big!
He hoped to seize this rare opportunity and make it a perfect strike!
In an instant, all the forces under Isaac's command sprang into action, operating like a giant machine, providing Isaac with a continuous stream of materials and data.
Time flies when you're fully engaged.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past three days, Isaac has successfully found more traces of the prankster from the ocean of data, and roughly located his position—the Star Sea!
An ocean formed from the corpses of several star gods, containing an exceptionally complex energy field that greatly interferes with detection spells. It's no exaggeration to say that even a fifth-tier wizard would be practically blind without special detection methods.
In addition to the environment that is as silent as the night, what is more troublesome is that there are many star beasts born from the corpses of gods wandering in the star sea. It is said that there are even divine abominations that are comparable to gods!
It's easy to imagine how high the risks are to operate here!
But as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
Despite the perilous nature of the Star Sea, it remains a focal point of contention among various factions, solely because—
He has divine qualities!
And there's more than one!
"Starry Sea..."
Looking at the densely packed circuit diagram in his hand, Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly. Even he would find a place like the Star Sea somewhat troublesome, but...
It's only a little bit...
Isaac's gaze shifted to a thick stack of parchment beside him, filled with ritual materials that his familiars and wizards had collected over the past three days for use in trading with the Outer Gods.
Among them, there are five Outer God rituals used to enhance reconnaissance capabilities. Four of these rituals can extract the power of prophecy, one can extract the power to enhance the ability to perceive dimensional worlds, and the most rituals, twelve in total, are used to enhance the ability to erode dimensional magic!
However, to maximize its effect, these twelve portions cannot be collected all at once. Several need to be carefully selected and combined to maximize its effectiveness while ensuring that it does not affect the perception abilities granted by the dimensional world...
After all, this is his greatest asset as he travels through the starry sea!
"Kaka~"
Isaac cracked his neck, a sinister smile spreading across his face. For him, this was the simplest thing!
soon……
Just as Isaac was immersed in the data of the ritual, someone who was both unexpected and expected arrived in Isaac's territory...
Caesar Solomon!
Chapter 258 Caesar: Guess why the true god is called the true god?
"Sorry, we've been a bit busy lately, this is all we have." In the empty castle, Lorna handed Caesar a cup of freshly bought black tea, her face slightly flushed, looking a little embarrassed.
Caesar had no objection to this. He took the black tea, looked at Rona curiously, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Lorna tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding why Caesar nodded, but she didn't say anything. She silently took the plate and retreated, which was a bit impolite, but she was busy at the moment.
Besides, Caesar's approving look in her eyes inexplicably made her feel a little shy...
……
After Lorna left the room, Caesar slowly sipped his black tea, his smile gradually fading and his expression growing serious.
With Isaac making such a big move, it would be hard for him not to know.
After all, Isaac is no longer the newcomer who became a wizard just two years ago. Now, in terms of personal combat strength, he is almost invincible among the third tier, and he also has many high-level combatants under his command.
Although the wizarding organization Madheart was newly established and its foundation in various aspects was still very weak, and although they were all wild mages, which made their combat strength relatively weak, they were still spellcasters after all. Their combat strength may not be up to par, but their productivity was absolutely off the charts!
In addition, he also has several extraordinary legions under his command whose combat power is unparalleled on the continent!
It's no exaggeration to say that in an empire where fourth-tier powerhouses rarely show themselves, Isaac's slightest stomp would send shivers down the spine of the entire empire!
Moreover, even putting all that aside, just look at the things this guy's men have collected...
Not to mention the Empire, even the Mechanicus was terrified of this guy, fearing that he would hold another evil god transaction ritual and deal a few more blows to the cult. As a result, although Isaac's actions had only started three days ago, the Mechanicus's battle lines had already begun to shrink.
There's really no other way. The Cult of Mechanics isn't afraid of Outer Gods, but they're disgusting!
The same was true for the Flesh and Blood Cult. They did not take this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack. Instead, they also withdrew their battle lines and sent several fifth-tier experts to guard the vicinity of Isaac.
On one hand, they were worried that the Cult of Machines would give up and kill Isaac outright. On the other hand, they were also worried that Isaac might act recklessly, and if he really wanted to use the power of the Outer Gods to attack the Cult of Machines, they wanted to stop him in time.
After all, it's unrealistic to think that the power of the Outer Gods can destroy the Cult of the Machine God. If Isaac loses in the ritual and ends up losing himself, that would be ridiculous.
However, unlike the others, Caesar knew that Isaac's goal was definitely not the Mechanicus. The conflict between the Mechanicus and the Flesh Cult had been going on for more than a year or two; if they were going to go crazy, they would have gone crazy long ago.
There is only one reason that could make Isaac make such a crazy decision—the Mad Witch, the Master of Mischief!
Isaac wasn't the only one searching for him over the years; he and his older sister Cheryl had also been looking for him, knowing that he had appeared on the battlefield between the Mechanicus and the Flesh Cult.
But unlike Isaac, they had territories to manage and families to support, so they couldn't just go there directly like Isaac.
So even though they knew that guy was there, the battlefield was too big, and they didn't have a suitable reason to get involved.
But the lack of action does not mean they have let go of their hatred.
Therefore, upon noticing Isaac's actions and guessing that these major moves might be related to that guy, Caesar simply handed over the affairs of the territory to his older sister Cheryl and went directly to find Isaac.
"Big brother? What brings you here?"
Spatial fluctuations appeared, and Isaac, dressed in a white robe, stepped out. Upon seeing Caesar's solemn expression, the smile on Isaac's face faded.
"Very good, it seems I don't need to say anything more. Don't worry, I'm not here to stop you, I'm going with you."
"Together?"
Isaac paused for a moment.
"What? You think I'm not strong enough?"
Isaac blinked, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
"Ha~" Caesar laughed helplessly, shook his head, stood up from the chair, and a few golden flames emerged from his body, along with a powerful aura.
"Sigh~"
'You've gotten stronger again!' Isaac opened the demonic eye between his eyebrows, and his three eyes narrowed slightly.
Compared to last time, Caesar's aura has greatly improved, which is somewhat abnormal. The path to transcendence becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, especially for knights, for whom there are no shortcuts. Whether it is physical strength or the accumulation of faith and divine power, it requires a great deal of time.
Unlike wizards, who can advance through shortcuts once they have accumulated enough extraordinary knowledge.
While geniuses may be faster, they won't be this fast.
"Brother, you wouldn't... have made a deal with the Outer Gods too, would you?" Isaac looked at Caesar suspiciously. Although he couldn't sense the aura of the Outer Gods on him, they were still Outer Gods after all. Who knew if they had any tricks up their sleeves to hide their presence?
"...Is that all you can think of? Is it possible that there are also true gods in this world?" Caesar looked at Isaac speechlessly.
"A true god?" Isaac was taken aback. "Isn't that even more dangerous?"
Caesar: "..."
Looking at Isaac's nonchalant expression, Caesar was speechless. At that moment, he felt a deep sense of guilt for letting Isaac grow up wildly. This child... had actually habitually entertained the idea that making a deal with the true gods was even more dangerous...
"Uh... ah... oh, sorry, I didn't react for a moment." But Isaac only paused for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening.
For them, the mad witches, making a deal with a god is indeed very dangerous, but for normal people, it is very safe!
Because normal people wouldn't try to outsmart a righteous god...
Moreover, to be precise, in most cases, the transactions of the true gods cannot be called transactions, because they often do not care about whether there is a return or not, but simply act according to their mood. When they are in a good mood, they do not care about such things as returns.
If a righteous god intervenes, then the improvement will be no problem. However, the identity of that righteous god must be extraordinary, otherwise the evil god on the other side of the demonic eye between the eyebrows would not be so surprised.
However, Isaac didn't talk much about this topic. Although they are righteous gods, it doesn't mean they don't have their own plans.
"Then, I guess I can go with you now?" Caesar shook his head and chuckled, looking at Isaac and speaking softly.
“Of course, but let’s make it clear first, that guy is currently in the Star Sea, and that place is very chaotic.” As he spoke, Isaac glanced at the top of Caesar’s head.
Caesar raised an eyebrow, understanding Isaac's meaning, but he still nodded. Although the Star Sea was chaotic, ordinary chosen ones would not easily step into such a place.
Fortunately, he was not an ordinary chosen one of the gods, and the one who gave him power would not care about these things.
“Okay, I understand. But it’s not the right time yet. We’ll set off in three days. I need to make some preparations.”
After he finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation appeared behind Isaac, swallowing him up.
