This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 292 The Demon God's Arms Race!?
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had gone by...

Three months is neither a long nor a short time; it's at least enough for the underground city to begin its development.

Thanks to the efforts of Isaac and the two virtual gods, the underground city grew from three hundred people to three thousand people in just three months!
The population has increased tenfold!
The number of divine followers has also reached more than a thousand!
That's a full third!
At this point, development has temporarily reached its limit, because the nearby humans have already been wiped out by Isaac and the two virtual gods. If they want to expand further, they will have to explore more distant places.

Of course, it's not that they don't have the ability. Three fourth-tier beings, one of whom is a fourth-tier wizard and the other two are gods. They are all extraordinary beings with explosive combat power. It would be absolutely impossible to defeat them without more than ten fourth-tier beings joining forces.

But it's no longer necessary.

Firstly, it would be too strenuous, and secondly, the current underground city is not suitable for adding more people. Although Mephisto and the God of War were leaders before, Mephisto had at most managed a little over a hundred people and oversaw three thousand people...

It was a considerable test for them, as they had absolute power to suppress them, and many of the humans they recruited from various places had management experience. Only by working together could they barely hold on.

If it continues to expand, the underground city will collapse!
Therefore, the current goal of the underground city is not to continue to expand, but to consolidate the current gains, manage the existing humans, and at the same time, increase the infrastructure development of the underground city and the efforts to conquer the underground palace!

After all, the underground city is different from other magic cities. Isaac will not fail to provide them with any basic resources. Whether it is resources for building the city or food, they will have to obtain them themselves.

This is not too difficult for them.

Unlike other magic cities, the Underground City, while not having Isaac to provide survival supplies, has been given even stronger superhuman power. It is no exaggeration to say that, under the leadership of the two virtual gods, none of the seven nearby underground cities, except for the lowest level, can match them!
Although the other members of the family are a bit weaker, if they are careful, sweeping through the first floor shouldn't be too difficult.

With the support of dungeon resources that can be refreshed regularly, the dungeon city can maintain a basic standard of living. However, that's all it can do. If you want to go further, you need to make more precise use of the dungeon resources.

This will further enhance the power of the divine followers; relying solely on two virtual deities is not enough.

Moreover, for some reason, recently whenever the two of them entered the underground palace, the resistance they faced was much stronger than before!
This puzzled them greatly. They wanted to ask Isaac, but ever since the population of the underground city reached more than two thousand and began to operate automatically, Isaac had disappeared. They couldn't contact him at all, so they could only suppress their doubts and stop their conquest of the deep underground palace, focusing their energy on strengthening their familiars.

In fact, the dimensional demon behind the underground palace was even more confused than the two of them!
The underground palace, which hadn't been touched for many years, suddenly started operating again. This was not unusual, since the Boundless Tower had reopened in the real world where those wizards lived. They were bound to cause some trouble once they came in. Meanwhile, the other underground palaces they had set up were also being activated one after another.

But what's abnormal is, why are there two gods?!

That's not some inferior thing like a god; it's a genuine god!

It is the kind of being that actively lowers its own power level to the fourth rank, but retains all the characteristics of a god... a true god!
Have the true gods of that world gone this mad? Have they finally been infected by those wizards?

You should know that self-inflicted injury is no small matter; once you fall, it's not so easy to climb back up.

First, after self-severance, the authority and power you previously possessed will be reduced to some extent. Moreover, it's foreseeable that these reduced portions will be taken over by other gods or wizards. Getting someone to relinquish what you've already consumed won't be easy. Second, after self-severance, the faith power required for advancement will need to be rebuilt. This is more troublesome than the loss of authority and power; it won't be possible to recover in less than several hundred years, even assuming the sect's development is successful.

If you encounter any minor trouble, just wait!

You'll see!

Finally, and most troublesome, during this self-severance process, the slightest carelessness could lead to extremely serious aftereffects, so serious that one's strength would be completely locked at the fourth tier in the future!
No further progress!

This is the most desperate!
Based on their observations over this period of time, these two idiots seem to be the worst-case scenario!

Not only was one-tenth of his divine power gone, but the path to recovery was also blocked, and even the divine [eternity] characteristic seemed somewhat illusory...

This last little bit is absolutely crucial!

It's important to understand that aside from these dimensional demons, the other gods, whether righteous or evil, possess the greatest asset in this world: they have the concept of "eternity," making them extremely difficult to kill!
As long as you don't die, you have endless opportunities!

But now, these two idiots' concept of "eternity" is flawed...

The dimensional demons were first shocked, then curious, and finally greedy!

So what magical thing is in this world that would make two true gods willing to pay such a huge price to enter it?

Although they have been in this world for a long time and have explored its resources thoroughly, this is still, after all, a great creation of a great wizard, even if it is only a part of that great creation.

Its immense power is beyond the comprehension of these little beings.

Perhaps there really is something extraordinary inside?
After all, these two true gods came from that world, the main world from which that great wizard originated, the world where the wizard was incredibly powerful. It's only natural that they would know some inside information, right?

With this in mind, these demon gods began to increase their investment in the underground palace. Especially when Mephisto and the God of War entered the underground palace, they put all their effort into transferring magic power. In any case, for them, a little bit of magic power that they could never use up was nothing compared to the secret treasure left behind by the great wizard!
Furthermore, in addition to these few underground palaces, they also began to increase the infusion of magic power into other underground palaces!
The circle of demon gods is very small, especially the group of demon gods in the Wilderness Palace. Although the other demon gods did not know the specific situation, they all followed suit. After all, it was just a little magic power and a little time, which they could afford!

Coincidentally, during the opening of the Boundless Tower, that real world was also shrouded in the power of the Great Wizard, and neither the true gods nor the outer gods could interfere with that world.
