This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 290 The Terrifying Divine System!

"Once you accept this power, you will no longer be human, and this power will burn your life. Can you still accept that?"

Upon hearing Isaac's words, the tiger-striped youth paused for a moment, glanced at his companion beside him, took a deep breath, and silently stepped forward. His emerald green eyes looked at Isaac, and he said sincerely, "I don't care about anything as long as I can gain the power to protect my family and friends! But before that, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"explain."

"If one day I betray my current ideals because of this power, and you are still in this world, I hope you will kill me!" The tiger-skinned youth looked at Isaac with resolute eyes.

There was nothing he could do. He had seen too many examples of people who joined the cult in the hope of saving humanity, only to fall completely into corruption. He didn't know whether it was because those forces were evil or because those predecessors had changed.

In short, he dared not gamble.

So he wanted to ask Isaac for help with this.

Of course, this is also a gamble.

I bet Isaac is a good guy.

Upon hearing this, Isaac raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but nodded, then gestured for him to reach for the longsword.

Having received Isaac's promise, the tiger-striped youth was finally free of any worries. He did not look back at his family and companions, but resolutely reached out to the longsword that was burning fiercely!
He grabbed the sword hilt!

In an instant, golden divine light burst forth from the longsword, and indistinct hymns rang out. One after another, faint ritual arrays appeared within the longsword. Golden energy, like liquid, rapidly spread from the tiger-skinned youth's right hand, which gripped the longsword, to his entire body!

In an instant, the golden light dissipated, and a young man holding a long sword and wearing golden-red knight armor appeared in front of everyone, leaving his companions dumbfounded!
Only Isaac looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Tell me your name."

"Mephisto, Blade of the Sun! Greetings, my lord!" Having fully merged with the virtual godhood, Mephisto not only gained immense power but also learned a great deal from the virtual godhood, gaining a deeper understanding of just how powerful Isaac was before him.

Thus, despite gaining the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, Mephisto did not become arrogant. Instead, he became even more humble, immediately planting his sword in the ground and kneeling before Isaac.

After all, if he weren't humble, Isaac would have had to move his monument...

Hmm, there might not even be a tombstone...

"Mephisto?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Isaac's expression turned somewhat strange. This name didn't sound like that of a benevolent god. It was a pity; he should have been given a demonic virtual godhood. What a waste of this name.

The strange thought lingered in his mind for only a moment before Isaac shook it off. With a flick of his fingertips, the demonic claw floating behind his head sent a piece of parchment flying to Mephisto's front.

“This is the stronghold I have chosen for you. Lead your people here, build a city, gather your people, and develop your family, just like any other city.”

"Yes, sir!" Mephisto replied respectfully, placing his right hand on his chest. Isaac nodded, then vanished along with the demonic claw into a wisp of wind. He still had to find another person to fuse with the [God of War], so he was quite busy.

After confirming that Isaac had left, Mephisto slowly stood up, turned to look at his companions, and after a moment, said excitedly, "Brothers, our hope has arrived!"

As he spoke, seemingly to give his companion confidence, or perhaps to confirm his own power, Mephisto waved his hand, and a golden stream of light flew out, instantly melting another boulder in the cave!

It turned into a patch of scorching magma!

Mephisto's friends had never seen anything like this before. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they cheered and rushed towards him, excitedly circling around him and chattering away, tears streaming down their faces.

Mephisto didn't stop them; he simply stood there quietly, listening to his companions' ramblings. Although his tears were evaporated by the power of the blazing sun before they could fall, his bloodshot eyes revealed that he wasn't entirely at peace...

After a period of commotion, the crowd, having vented their passion on Mephisto, gradually calmed down. As a result, they remembered what Isaac had said: "At the same time, you can also bestow this power upon your companions!"
Could they also possess such extraordinary power, almost godlike?
Everyone looked at Mephisto expectantly.

Although they didn't say it, they had all basically grown up together and knew each other very well, so he knew exactly what they were thinking.

Mephisto took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "The God is right, I can indeed grant you extraordinary power! Extraordinary power far greater than that of those vile monsters and cultists!"

Then, before the crowd could cheer, Mephisto solemnly pressed his hands down, suppressing their excitement, and uttered the "but."

"However! This power comes at a price! Humans cannot possess superhuman power, so if you want to have this power, you can only cease to be human! And you must fight for the survival of humanity for the rest of your lives!"

Hearing Mephisto's words, the heavy expressions on everyone's faces eased a bit. They thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this.

"It's just being human, right? They can just give it up. Living in such a harsh environment, their bottom line is actually very low. As long as they can survive and protect their families, many things don't really matter to them." Hearing Mephisto's words, the heavy expressions on everyone's faces eased a bit. They thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just this?
Although they were somewhat unconcerned about the "expensive" price Mephisto mentioned, they remained calm. After all, Mephisto still held considerable authority, and with the acquisition of such immense power, his authority naturally rose accordingly.

So no one would refute him at this time.

Of course, what they didn't know was that the price was far more than just being inhuman; in addition to being inhuman, he also needed to fight for the survival of humanity for the rest of his life!
It may sound like the same situation as now, but you should know one thing: as the followers of the gods, as long as the gods do not die, the followers will also not die!

The only difference is how much divine power is needed to revive them.

Decades, or even centuries later, this will be a curse...

Of course, when that time comes, they will not have any complaints, because the will of the gods is the will of their subjects!
And this...

In truth, Mephisto wasn't entirely sure either, after all, he had only recently become a god and lacked experience...
