This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 291 The God of War Takes His Position!

Although they were all quite enthusiastic about becoming followers of the gods, unfortunately, Isaac gave Mephisto a virtual divine status as a righteous god, not an evil god, and therefore he could not create followers without limit.

In other words, certain conditions must be met or some trials must be completed before one can be granted power by Him.

In terms of quantity, they are naturally inferior to the randomly created evil god's followers, but in terms of quality, they are much higher. Whether it is combat power, vitality, or even potential, they far surpass the evil god's followers.

Furthermore, their self-will is preserved for a relatively longer period of time, unlike the followers of evil gods, who may survive for seven or eight years if they are lucky, but are completely corrupted in three to five years or even less than a year if they are unlucky.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. One is that the requirements are relatively high. Of the hundred or so people Mephisto and his group, only nine met the standards. The others did not meet the requirements. Among these nine people, three were children under the age of ten and did not have the ability to fight.

At least, it's not time to send them to the battlefield yet.

Secondly, except in special circumstances, the power of most divine followers needs to be increased gradually, just like a normal superhuman, and they will not gain extremely powerful power in an instant.

So at this moment, apart from Mephisto and the three children, everyone else was just a first-order priest.

It is a bit weak, but it is enough for traveling. Although there are many dungeons in this area, they are mostly dormant. There are not many monsters around, and the few that are there are no match for Mephisto.

After all, even though He is not yet fully familiar with His own power and divine authority, He can easily crush third-tier monsters with just pure numerical values. Fighting above one's level is not so easy.

Even Isaac, at the third tier, could only say that he could escape and fight against a fourth-tier powerhouse when caught off guard.
It's impossible to fight against even a little bit.

Even with such a huge advantage, Mephisto did not act rashly. Instead, he took six combat-capable servants to properly adapt to his own power. After three full days, he led his people to migrate to the area designated by Isaac.

On the other hand, after leaving Mephisto, Isaac quickly found the holder of the [Battle God]. There was no other way; in terms of both combat power and potential, the [Battle God] was not even in the same league as the [Blazing Sun Blade]. There was no need to be so particular about the choice; he could just pick one randomly.

Since it's a virtual deity with some "eternal" characteristics, changing hosts comes at no cost. If it's not suitable, just change it.

So after leaving Mephisto, Isaac handed him over to a group of about two hundred wilderness humans, a bit more than Mephisto's group, but their unity seemed a bit lacking; among those two hundred people, there were actually four leaders...

Isaac didn't say much about this. After handing the [God of War] to the most suitable one among the four, Isaac went on to find other humans. Although he no longer had a virtual godhood, it was clear that a mere three hundred people were not enough to support his plan.

As for the [God of War] side...

Isaac wasn't worried, after all, the [Battle God] had an almost absolute suppressive power compared to other ordinary people!
Unless the God of War and his subordinates are all idiots, stabilizing the situation is not a problem at all.

And that was indeed the case. After Isaac left, the God of War, Ex, quickly subdued the others and became the undisputed leader among the two hundred people. He then developed thirty followers from among these two hundred people!

Yes, thirty-six! That's far more than Mephisto's nine, and only two of them are children, making a total of thirty-four combatants!

The reason for such a big difference is that there are more people, the [Battle God] is weaker than [Blazing Sun Blade], so the requirements for becoming a familiar are much lower, and also, He was lucky.

Of course, if the quantity increases, the quality will relatively decrease.

Compared to Mephisto's familiars who can use both fire and longswords, making them both skilled in magic and martial arts, the familiars on the God of War's side are much weaker. Their changes are basically limited to physical enhancement and a divinely bestowed combat technique. Most importantly, unlike Mephisto's familiars, they don't come with their own weapons!

However, their sheer numbers are an unparalleled advantage for them now, meaning that the God of War has more room to maneuver.

Although he had gained such great power, the God of War knew very well who had given him this power. So after he had become familiar with his own power and developed his followers, he made a decisive move and split his forces into two groups. He and ten of his weakest followers led the remaining ordinary people to the location designated by Isaac.

The rest of the family members went to other human settlements in the wilderness to gather more humans for Isaac!

The God of War knew very well that whether he wanted to better serve Isaac or to better survive in this world, population was the foundation of everything!

At least, that's how it is after possessing extraordinary power. Only by having a larger population can one develop more followers and better protect humanity!

Yes, to protect humanity!
Although he had only been the God of War for a few days, such saintly and altruistic thoughts had already emerged in his mind.

This is incredible. Just a few days ago, the God of War was just an ordinary person whose mind was mostly focused on vying for power and profit. This transformation is quite rapid!

This is the firewall that Isaac set up for the virtual deity. Under the influence of the virtual deity, no matter who it is, their actions and thoughts will be affected by the "divinity" within the virtual deity, and their behavior will unconsciously take the "divinity" of the virtual deity as the standard for action.

Of course, Isaac was able to do this because it was one of the dilemmas faced by the gods; Isaac simply amplified this problem slightly.

Even if he does nothing, they will eventually be dominated by the "divinity" in the virtual godhood. Being a god is not so easy.

However, this has nothing to do with Isaac. In any case, he has primary control over the virtual deity. Once his research on the virtual deity deepens, he will be able to give one to each of his familiars and subordinates.

Of course, we're still a long way from that point, for now...

It can only be used by dimensional apostles, because if the holder of the virtual godhood is replaced, the previous holder will be completely devoured by the virtual godhood!

This devouring ability is extremely powerful. According to a rough estimate, Isaac believes that even the immortality of the Dimensional Apostles cannot withstand it!
After all, the immortality of dimensional apostles comes from the dimensional world, while even if the virtual godhood is slightly weaker in scale, its status is no worse than that of the dimensional world, and may even be stronger!
