This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 225 The Great Wizard and the Endless Sea!
"Can't tell me?" Isaac raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

As a magical world, there are indeed many things that cannot be said before they happen. Some of these things will affect the outcome of the event, while others will have an impact on the listener, and most of these impacts are negative.

But whatever it is, if it can have an impact through information, then it is an absolutely major event.

Moreover, it is more likely to be the former, because Isaac and Mensa are both high wizards. If Mensa was okay with it, then Isaac would naturally be okay with it too.

However, since he couldn't say, Isaac naturally didn't ask any further questions, and simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

Mensa didn't say much; his purpose in coming was more to warn Isaac.

Now that Isaac's suspicion has been largely cleared, he has no reason to stay here any longer, and he also needs to rush to Etra to help Princess Philo.

So, with the arcane light flashing, Mensa left.

Isaac stood there for a moment, pondering, then turned and returned to the mage tower to continue his unfinished training. As for the dimensional apostles operating within the empire…

What is the connection between Isaac and the dimensional apostles of those billions of flesh and blood lords?
On the contrary, now that Isaac has just tricked billions of flesh and blood, he has every reason not to get involved. It's perfectly normal for a mad witch like him to hide from the minions of the Outer Gods, right?
……

And so, as Isaac continued his research, time slowly passed. Soon, another three months went by. During these three months, the research on stealing the power of the God of Trust stalled, with no progress made whatsoever.

His transformation magic, however, is progressing quite quickly. He has already learned all sixteen transformations, and has also successfully fused three of the slime transformations, although they are all low-level monster transformations and the increase in combat power is not significant.

However, it was of great help to Isaac's path to all souls, providing him with a lot of research data.

Meanwhile, apart from research, other things are also going smoothly. The number of official members of the wizarding organization has expanded to thirty. Although only three of them are second-tier wizards and the rest are first-tier wizards, this speed is already very good for a newly established wizarding organization.

The problem is that there's not much development in the industry yet, and there's not much revenue. The wizarding organization is basically supported by Isaac's personal funds.

But this is normal; newly established wizarding organizations are all like this.

After all, the newly joined wizards, whether second-tier or first-tier, are basically self-taught. If they have a few spells that can be used in combat, they are considered excellent wizards. There is no need to expect them to have any research capabilities.

Especially among legendary wizards, the strong include mad wizards like Isaac who can easily defeat third-tier high-level knights at the second tier level, while the weak include great wizards who even many first-tier monsters have to be careful of...

After all, the advancement of a legendary wizard is not like that of an arcane mage. Not only are there requirements for the number of spells learned, but there are also relatively strict standards for the construction of one's own knowledge system. In addition, the two basic attributes of a wizard, mental strength and magic power, need not be mentioned.

Therefore, the situation where a wizard's level and combat power are so disproportionately low rarely occurs among arcane mages, including when fighting opponents of higher levels.

For arcane sorcerers, as long as they have enough talent, there are no obstacles on the path to advancement, unlike legendary wizards who have a fixed process.

However, arcanists have no need to join newly formed wizarding organizations, especially those dominated by legendary wizards.

After all, his major was really not a good fit, even though there were high-ranking wizards in the organization.

So he was quite satisfied with the current development of the wizarding organization. The only thing that troubled Isaac was that the organization was already quite large and it had reached the stage of naming it. If it was to be grand, it would feel too arrogant; if it was to be subtle, it would feel too stifling...

It's really upsetting...

That's why the naming process has been delayed until now.

Fortunately, the scale is not very large yet, so we can hold out for a while longer!

On the other hand, the Dimensional Apostles' operations within the Empire were also going very smoothly, even though the Empire, this massive machine, had been fully activated and was displaying extremely terrifying war potential.

but……

The Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood is also a veteran dimensional demon god, whose foundation is not bad. He has also fully displayed his power and started a direct confrontation with the Empire!

And for the time being, they are not at a disadvantage!

Of course, this is only temporary. After all, the Lord of billions of flesh and blood is ultimately a dimensional demon god. The real world is not His domain. Not to mention Himself, even His powerful dimensional apostles cannot stay in the real world for long. Even though they possess the characteristic of immortality, they are not a great threat.

Therefore, the victor in this war will undoubtedly be the empire!

Of course, this has nothing to do with Isaac. It doesn't matter that the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood lost, since it wasn't a conflict that Isaac started. It was a completely unexpected bonus, and it didn't affect his revenge plan at all.

On the contrary, after the war officially began, the cultists operating throughout the empire provided much-needed cover for the actions of his dimensional apostles, allowing them to focus all their energy on destroying Prince Norns' forces.

Isaac's current target was not the Empire. His actions against the Empire were merely a cover, since the Dimensional Apostles were far from sufficient in both quantity and quality and were not yet qualified to confront the entire Empire.

Therefore, the fact that the followers of the Lord of Flesh and Blood launched a large-scale attack on the Empire actually made their actions easier.

Therefore, Isaac's biggest headache at this stage is still his research into stealing the power of the God of Trust...

It's not that there's no way to steal His divine power, but rather that there's no way to steal it discreetly...

Even if it's just temporary hiding!

During his research, Isaac learned that many wizards in history, like himself, had tried to steal the power of the God of Trust!

He was not only not the first wizard to think this way, but he was also not the first wizard to do it!
Therefore, the God of Faith has taken many precautions in this regard over the years. Stealing His divine power is not so easy...

Inside the mage tower, Isaac sat at his desk, his brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on the manuscript on the table, his fingers lightly tapping the surface as he pondered the next experimental plan.

While the God of Faith's protection of divine power is indeed formidable, Isaac's strength, or rather, his mastery of the cheat system, would allow him to steal it undetected. He possesses numerous low-success-rate schemes, which he can simply increase using his cheat system. The problem, however, is that this experiment differs from previous ones. It's not enough for Isaac to use it alone; it must be made available to most high-ranking wizards. Otherwise, he won't be able to bind them to his cause.

If he fails to bind them to Isaac's chariot, he will face the wrath of a true god!

Therefore, the only thing usable this time is the cheat code's ability to find and fix omissions.

Unfortunately, his current plans all have many flaws, with the highest success rate only reaching 13.5%, which is clearly not in line with Isaac's requirements.

He doesn't expect 100% success, but he needs at least a 60-70% success rate, right?

Then, by guiding it towards its inherent abilities, it can be naturally extended to all high-level wizards.

but now……

Even a success rate of 60% or 70% is difficult to achieve...

This is just awful!

Just as Isaac was pondering, a spellbook suddenly appeared, its magical light flashing continuously. Isaac's already furrowed brows furrowed even more. He raised his hand and waved the spellbook, which landed in his hand. A message entered Isaac's mind.

'Get ready, here we go.'

Upon hearing this, Isaac was taken aback. This was a message from Mensa, and this magic book was a Lord's Book that he had never seen before!

With the power of [Analysis], Isaac quickly learned about the abilities and existence of this Lord's Book.

The Book of Lords originates from a power held by the Terran Empire. In most cases, the Book of Lords it gives birth to is hidden deep within the territory of the Terran Empire, ready to act at the Empire's command at any time!

Yes, although it is called the Book of Lords, there are as many Books of Lords as there are lords. Even nobles who are enfeoffed and then enfeoffed again will generate another Book of Lords.

However, the ownership of these Lord's Books does not belong to the individual lords. In fact, most lords are unaware of their existence. The power of the Lord's Books is firmly controlled by the Empire!
However, the ultra-long-range covert communication we are experiencing now is just a trivial ability in the Book of Lords. Its true power lies in its ability to mobilize all the forces within the territory!
Both the power of the earth's veins and the magic within its territory are under its control!
Looking at the Book of Lords in his hand, Isaac narrowed his eyes. Mensa's actions, besides being to send him a message immediately, were more importantly to demonstrate the Empire's powerful strength to him.

Clearly, although Isaac's suspicion of being a dimensional apostle has been ruled out, they still have some doubts about him.

“Interesting~” Looking at the Book of Lords in his hand, Isaac’s lips curled up slightly. This matter was far more complicated than that.

The source of the Book of Lords is an authority, and even among the gods, very few wield authority completely!
Of course, the Terra Empire could not fully control the authority that gave birth to the Book of Lords, but even if it did, it would most likely be controlled by a demigod!
The Emperor is a demigod who has only recently become a god, so this authority is very likely not held by the Emperor.

Two demigods...

This aligns with Isaac's vision of the Empire's immense power.

However, just as Isaac was speculating about the Empire's true strength, he suddenly paused, looked up sharply at the sky, and his gaze seemed to pass through the mage tower, looking at the vast sky. His expression gradually became serious.

Because he sensed an incredibly terrifying magical power in the sky!

That magic...

It was so terrifying that it was beyond Isaac's comprehension!
He couldn't find any words to describe it other than "boundless"!

With a flash of magical light, Isaac's figure vanished, reappearing at the top of the mage tower. He looked up at the sky with a solemn expression, and gradually, cryptic messages traveled from the heavens into Isaac's mind.

"A great wizard?!" Isaac's pupils contracted, his heart churning with emotions.

The message from the heavens was simple: another great wizard had been born!

The great wizards, the wizards who truly stand at the pinnacle of the wizarding world, possess power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Like demigods, great wizards are not a specific realm, but rather an honorific title for some extremely powerful wizards who have made great contributions to the world!

The wizard who created goblins and Goblin Slayer must have been a great wizard, even though the birth of goblins would consume a great deal of energy in a certain area in a short period of time.

However, for humans, or rather, for extraordinary individuals, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Because he also created Goblin Slayer, a magical profession that allows you to become stronger by killing goblins, and the method to become a Goblin Slayer is very simple, requiring only a simple ritual.

While Goblin Slayer primarily adds warriors—superhumans with limited prospects—and only a few knights with mediocre futures, it does objectively increase the number of superhumans, adding to the world's "weight" and ultimately promoting its evolution.

Therefore, the wizard who can no longer be found and who has hidden in the depths of mystery was also a great wizard.

A powerful wizard is not necessarily a great wizard, but a great wizard is definitely powerful!
And it is more powerful than all the gods!

In a sense, the wizarding civilization's current status is entirely due to the efforts of these great wizards!

Just like the one who is now "proving the Dao," what he brings to the real world is an ocean that is completely parallel to the real world and only interacts with it at fixed nodes!

An ocean that hides endless treasures!
According to the message coming from the sky, there are fragments of godhood, or even complete godhood, in that endless ocean!
This is still not the inferior divine essence that Isaac created, but a fragment, or even a complete divine essence, taken from a true god!

This ocean was created by an unknown great wizard who used his supreme power to kill many gods and used their corpses and the power of the divine kingdom to create this ocean containing countless treasures!

"The Great Wizard... Is this the Great Wizard?!" Isaac murmured to himself, looking at the sky, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
At the same time, he understood Mensa's meaning: he wanted Isaac to enter the Endless Sea to search for divinity for the Empire!
