This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 174 Power? Power!
"Respected Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, thank you very much for your generosity. I am afraid and dare not ask for eternal life or forbidden knowledge. I only ask that you can grant me the ability to animate the puppets." Isaac bowed and said respectfully.

"?" The Lord of the Eternal Secret Star was a little confused by Isaac's humble attitude. Are all the crazy wizards nowadays like this?

Although he couldn't understand what was going on with Isaac, the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star was still very happy to meet Isaac's request. After all, the sacrifices he gave were indeed a lot, ten times as much as in a ceremony of the same standard!
So many sacrifices, but only such simple power is needed. Even if He doesn't do anything, He will make a fortune, right?
"Satisfied... bastard!" Just as the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star was happily granting Isaac the [Activation] ability through a ceremony, on the other side, Isaac in the Endless Void also began to take action!

This naturally could not be hidden from the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, which is why He let out such an angry roar.

However, to His surprise, He was actually at a disadvantage in this wrestling match!
But the Outer Gods are Outer Gods after all, and they figured out the root cause in an instant - excessive sacrifices!

He was originally puzzled as to why this wizard would offer sacrifices ten times the amount required for this ritual. He thought he had encountered a rare wizard believer, but...

It turns out that they wanted to steal something from Him!

And it is His most precious thing!

That is His most important secret!
This is really too much!
……

A few breaths ago.

In the mysterious void.

Isaac stared at the "sun" in the sky with his eyes wide open, because it was something that shouldn't appear here!

Although the Outer Gods are gods, they are not omniscient and omnipotent. They are just creatures who have reached the extreme on 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 the Eternal Star, as an Outer God of the Mechanical Department, his combat power and means are also top-notch among the Outer Gods. He is not inferior to veteran demon gods such as the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood. However, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot possess power. This 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!
It’s just that we don’t know what kind of power it is yet, but it doesn’t matter, because now no matter what power it is, he wants it!
All plans and forbidden knowledge are bullshit!
The power that can allow the mechanical outer gods to break the limitations of life is obviously a good thing!

Since shortcuts are the fastest, you must pick up the best things!

So after reacting, Isaac didn't hesitate at all. He ignored the other stars in the void and controlled the power of the ritual towards the biggest "sun" in the sky!
Of course, Isaac also knew that gaining power did not mean that he could obtain the technology that the Lord of the Eternal Star used to break through the limitations of life and gain power, but among the Outer Gods, the Mechanical Outer Gods possessed the most forbidden knowledge. Finding the one he wanted among so much forbidden knowledge was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, even if he obtained it, he might not be able to use it with his current strength. It would be better to take a step back and obtain the power directly. After all, the power that made him spend so much effort to obtain must be extraordinary!
Get the result first, and maybe in the future you can rely on yourself to deduce the cause!
However, this movement of his made the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star discover him. According to the original plan, he should have acted quietly this time and tried to avoid being discovered by the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, so as to maximize his benefits.

After all, He has a lot of forbidden knowledge, so as long as you act quietly, it won't attract His attention.

But the power is different. This thing is not only a unique one, but also the secret of the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, so he was discovered the moment Isaac took action.

But it doesn’t matter, he has discovered it, and he, Isaac, is honest and upright. These are all things scattered in the mysterious void that no one wants, so whoever picks them up owns them!
Immediately, the power controlling the ritual began to compete with the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star. It was visible to the naked eye that under the interference of the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, the speed at which Isaac's ritual power eroded the "Sun" suddenly slowed down. But no matter how slow it was, it was still eroding slowly, which showed that in the wrestling with the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star, Isaac was in the upper hand!
It sounds incredible that a mortal has the upper hand in a wrestling match with a god, but it is actually quite normal.

Firstly, in the second-level ritual, due to the dual constraints of the Gate of Legends and the ritual, the power that the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star can exert is very limited.

Secondly, Isaac used the golden finger to gain ten times the ritual power of the second-level ritual, which was far beyond the power that the Lord of the Eternal Secret Star could exert.

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

The Lord of the Eternal Secret Star naturally discovered this as well. He knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise he would suffer too great a loss. He didn't know what was going on with this bastard, as he could actually use so much ritual power. A head-on confrontation was not advisable!

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

So He was trying to do two things at once: on the one hand, He tried to stop the thieves from stealing His power, and on the other hand, He was working to complete Isaac's ritual requirement, which was to give him the power to animate dead things.

This made Him feel very aggrieved. He had already been robbed and still wanted to fulfill his wish. This was fucking...

Hey!
But granting power is the most complicated of all wishes. Even if it is just a simple and ordinary power, it takes a lot of time, because it is different from the power they grant to believers. According to the legend, the power they grant must be uncontaminated and without backdoors...

However, the power of the Outer Gods has long possessed the nature of corrosion over the long years, and keeping a backup plan has long been integrated into their instincts. It is too difficult for them to suddenly do good things.

But we have to do it no matter how slowly, otherwise that thief will steal too much!
Time passed by minute by minute. Under the obstruction of the Lord of the Eternal Star, Isaac's erosion of power was still proceeding in an orderly manner, but the progress...

But it is not ideal. After all, the Lord of the Eternal Star is no pushover.

The ability to animate dead objects was granted smoothly. He could clearly feel a special power brewing in his body, but it would take some time for it to fully take shape.

However, although there is still some room for control, Isaac is ready to stop, because the current success rate is close to 500%, which is about to reach the safety line that Isaac set for himself.

Moreover, although the progress of erosion is not very ideal due to the obstruction of the Lord of the Eternal Star, the current share is 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 anyway.

After making the decision, Isaac decisively used the power he had picked up to push the mysterious void, leaving only the confused Lord of the Eternal Secret Star...
