The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 133

"Don't worry, I'm here. You'll definitely be fine," Isaac said nonchalantly as he walked towards the castle. "Even a pig, I can turn it into a competent lab assistant!"

"That's good... Hmm? What do you mean?" Rona glared at him and quickly followed Isaac.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to make you believe in my teaching abilities!"

"No! You know that's not what I'm asking!"

"How do you know I don't know that's what you're asking? You're not me."

"Hmm? That seems so... But I'm not you, I really don't know... Hmm? No! You're lying to me!"

Amidst the commotion, the two arrived at the room where the ceremony was being prepared. Standing at the door, Rona frowned; even she could feel the malice emanating from the room!

Even someone as simple-minded as her would instinctively feel a sense of fear at this malice.

Rather, it is precisely this trait of hers that makes her so acutely aware of such malice!

Isaac didn't seem to care much about this, or rather, it was something he had expected. After all, he had forcibly awakened the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood from his slumber, so it was normal for him to be a little grumpy when he woke up.

Putting aside the fact that she's only a little grumpy when she wakes up, it's only because of the huge amount of offerings.

But this is good, because it saves him from having to start the preparatory plan, which makes things much easier.

"You should stay outside. The environment inside isn't suitable for you. Just observe from outside for now." With that, Isaac pushed open the door and went inside.

Lorna nodded solemnly. She had no objection to this; the current situation was indeed not something a novice like her should be involved in.

If things go wrong, it could put her in danger and distract Isaac from saving her.

Therefore, staying put is the best option.

On the other side, Isaac entered the house. After seeing the situation inside, Isaac's pupils contracted slightly. Ninety percent of the materials that had been used to set up the ritual had disappeared, replaced by clumps of bloody flesh!

These flesh and blood were even twitching slightly!

Without a doubt, this was the result of the leakage of the power of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, and it was the result of His best efforts to control it. Otherwise, Isaac had no doubt that the situation would have been much worse!

But this is understandable. After all, He hasn't encountered a sacrifice of this scale for many years, so it's normal for Him to lose control of His emotions for a moment.

However, even with our best efforts to control it, the ritual has still been affected to some extent. The success rate has dropped from 1,000% to 678%, which is close to the danger line. It definitely needs some adjustments.

Although the ritual was somewhat severely affected, Isaac did not rush to check the repair plan provided by the cheat code. Instead, a blue light shone in his eyes, and he fully activated his [Analysis] power. He prepared to try modifying this seemingly perfect ritual himself first!

This wasn't the first time Isaac had done this; in fact, he did it every time a transaction ceremony was held. Isaac was quite open to using the "golden finger" (a powerful, albeit unconventional, tool).

But for him personally, only the knowledge that is in his own mind is the safest. So for Isaac, the golden finger is often a mirror, a mirror that can reflect all of Isaac's shortcomings, and then he makes up for them one by one.

The only pity is that he had made no progress in terms of the ceremony, because normally, 100% is the limit of the percentage, which itself represents perfection and impeccability.

The "golden finger" technique forcibly breaks through the underlying logic of the material world in an unbelievable way to increase the success rate, something he had never been able to understand how it was done.

Now that we have the [Analysis] power, will the outcome be different?

Isaac is really looking forward to it!

Isaac is overthinking it.

[Analysis] Ultimately, it is only pseudo-omniscience. Some things are still beyond its capabilities. For example, the ritual in front of us, from the perspective of the cheat system, has a success rate of only 678%, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, according to the [analysis], this is a ritual that is almost too perfect, even unreasonable...

"Sigh~" Isaac sighed and obediently opened the supplementary plan for this ritual using his cheat code, and began to make serious arrangements.

Fortunately, the ritual of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood has always been very simple, and His cushion is also very simple and straightforward, just needing to be enchanted flesh and blood. And now this thing is in a state of overflowing, so Isaac only needs to roughly modify the basic structure of the ritual.

Soon, the success rate of the ceremony returned to 1,000%!

Standing in the center of the ritual circle, Isaac took a deep breath. This was the biggest transaction ritual he had ever performed!

And he estimated that there might never be such a big one again, so he was really looking forward to it!

The ceremony is about to begin!

Chapter 191 A Great Harvest! The Generous Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood!

Isaac stood in the room filled with blood and flesh, pulled on his wide-brimmed wizard's hat to cast shadows on his face, then raised his hands and shouted in an extremely fanatical tone: "Supreme Lord, ruler of all flesh and blood! Your devout followers offer you sacrifices and pray for your coming!"

"Pfft~"

As Isaac shouted those words, in another corner of the castle, a bound cultist's body tensed instantly, his eyes rolled back, and he uttered a "hoarse" sound as if he were suffocating.

Meanwhile, Isaac on the other side had developed an air of cultism.

The séance was originally a spell used by believers to draw upon the power of the gods. Later, it was obtained by a mad witch and, after some modifications, it became an ability to temporarily change one's identity information in the eyes of a high-ranking being. It was at this moment that Isaac became that cultist!

This spell is still very important because, with the development of the times, especially with the emergence of the Gate of Legends, the Outer Gods have become more and more cautious, and their dealings with the Mad Witches have become less frequent. Some Outer Gods have even cut off their dealings with the Mad Witches altogether.

Because it's so unfair. If He wins, all He gains is a mortal soul; if He loses...

Therefore, fewer and fewer Outer Gods are willing to make deals with mad witches.

But that won't do.

Would a mad witch agree to such a thing?

Of course not, so the spirit summoning technique came into being. And this technique is particularly ingenious. Its ingenuity lies in the fact that even if the Outer God knows that this may be a trap set by the Mad Witch, he still has to step into it!

Because even the Outer God is a God, and He also needs believers. If believers have prepared such a generous offering for you and you don't go, what will other believers think if word gets out?

This is the open conspiracy of the mad witch of this era!

So soon, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, who had been waiting for a long time, responded to Isaac's call and descended upon him.

Although He was puzzled as to why His devout believer would disturb His slumber, this believer had prepared a blood and flesh sacrifice of more than two million humans!

That's incredibly devout!

Just for this "devoutness," even if it's a trap, it's worth the price of admission!

then……

Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood: "..."

He remained silent as he looked at the figure standing in the middle of the ceremony, who emanated the aura of a believer but was dressed as a wizard.

And for some reason, although all the mad wizards were dressed in the same outfit of wide wizard robes and large-brimmed wizard hats, He felt that the wizard in front of him looked very familiar. Could this guy be that scoundrel who stole His dimensional power?

"*****!"

"Listen to the enigmatic voice of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood." Isaac smiled slightly. This was the language of the demon god. However, he had not studied it in great depth. After all, the demon god's writing and language contained power. The deeper one studied it, the deeper one would sink, and eventually become the demon god's claws and tentacles.

However, given the current situation, it seems there's no need to understand; you can guess that the insults will be very vulgar.

Although the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood was quite rude, Isaac was a civilized man. He only picked up things that had fallen in the mysterious void if no one wanted them. So he didn't take the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood's insults to heart. Instead, he pulled up his hat brim, bowed respectfully, and said...

"Supreme Lord of billions of flesh and blood, your most devout followers offer this meager sacrifice to you, the Supreme One. We beseech you to bestow a wisp of divine grace and slaughter the entire current royal family of Etra, to demonstrate your supreme power and bring unprecedented chaos to this kingdom!"

It's confirmed, this guy is definitely a mad witch!

The Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood was speechless. He was just a homebody, not stupid. The real world only restricted their power from invading, and did not obstruct their vision much. He still knew something about the situation in the real world.

Take Etra as an example. As long as you want to govern it, no matter what you do, things will only go up, because it has already completely fallen to the bottom!

The country is currently being maintained by the Itra royal family. Eliminating them would only make things better for Itra, so He is certain that this is a mad witch!

They wanted to use His hand to remove the last obstacle to ruling the Etra Kingdom!

The Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood could have refused such a request, since there was a fourth-tier Miracle Knight in the royal family of Itra. If they were outside the mortal world, it would have been a piece of cake. But this was the mortal world, and the consumption of his power would be considerable.

Unfortunately, Isaac offered far too many sacrifices!

So much so that, bound by the rules of the ritual, He had to fulfill Isaac's request in order to enjoy the abundant offerings.

However, these offerings were actually enough to make up for the cost of His actions, and there were even many left over. But the thought of Him clearing away the obstacles to unifying the Kingdom of Etra for this mad witch made Him feel as uncomfortable as if He had eaten shit!

But soon, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood rolled his eyes and immediately agreed to the requirements of the ceremony, and began to cleanse the bloodline of the Itra royal family!

As mentioned before, the Mad Witch's deals are protected by the Gate of Legends. Under the protection of this treasure, no matter how much the Outer Gods suffer, they will never know the Mad Witch who presided over the ritual if the ritual is successfully completed.

Unless your power surpasses that of the legendary gate.

But this is a false premise, because if you are stronger than the Gate of Legends, you can kill the Mad Witch during the ritual phase, without having to wait until afterwards.

But this time is different!

During the ceremony, He learned important information—this mad witch wanted to conquer the Kingdom of Etra!

Of course, even so, He could not know the true identity of this mad witch in any way; all information would be blocked by the Gate of Legends before reaching Him.

But who says you have to know his identity to get revenge?

Now that we know this mad witch wants to take over Etra, it's simple: He just needs to issue a divine decree to his followers, instructing them to kill the mad witch who is taking over Etra.

If the believers' power is insufficient, He can also send His own sorcerers.

As a dimensional demon god, and one of the top demon gods at that, He doesn't need to lift a finger to deal with people in the real world; He has plenty of ways to do so!

……

"Mensa!!!"

As the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood began to act, in the space outside Etra, the white-robed wizard seemed to have received some information. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and as he roared at Mensa, he hurled a purple energy ball!

"Disperse~"

However, facing his energy ball, which was enough to instantly kill a high-ranking knight, Mensa simply waved his hand, causing the energy ball and the power wrapped around it to dissipate in the wind, turning into colorful butterflies that fluttered gently in the air.

"You're such a grown man, why are you still so impulsive?" Mensa patted his wizard robes and said with a smile.

Soon, the other two bewildered high wizards also received the message from their rear. Their pupils contracted slightly, and they both looked at Mensa in shock. The gray-robed wizard, who had been just observing, was particularly surprised. His old face darkened, and his gray wizard robes fluttered in the wind.

The black-robed wizard Noel, sensing the surging magic emanating from him, involuntarily took a few steps back, shielding several of his own wizards behind him, and then stood behind the other wizards to continue watching the show.

Although he was equally surprised, the Cult of Flesh and Blood was merely a wizarding organization, and their headquarters had always been in the Flesh and Blood dimension. Therefore, they had never harbored any illusions about Etra's rule, so this turmoil had nothing to do with them.

Oh no, that's not quite right, there is still some connection.

One of the culprits behind this unrest is their sect.

But it doesn't matter. Not to mention that the Terra Empire is there to protect them, even without it, their sect is safe based on Isaac's talent and courage!

Isn't he just a demigod?

Their sect can always pull out a few old guys if they shake things up, as if they don't have any.

"I've already said it, you're all so old, be more mature. So what if a few people died? What's the big deal? Or are you going to start a war with our empire?" Mensa's face showed no sign of guilt, but instead he smiled and said calmly.
