This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 297 Even gods die when they are killed!

In the mysterious sea, Isaac was wandering, trying to find the mysterious power it contained, while outside, the Staff of Anomaly looked at Isaac, whose eyes had suddenly become lifeless, and revealed a smug expression.

So far, he has never missed with this move; it is a more important and powerful trump card than the staff in his hand!

Of course, this move also has its drawbacks; it can only trap the enemy and has no actual killing power.

Therefore, he also needs to coordinate with the Staff of Aberration in his hand during the battle. In recent days, he has been invincible with this method of control and attack. Now, when facing Isaac, he naturally intends to do the same.

However, he had only just raised the Staff of Aberration and had not yet made a move when he was stopped by Jormungandr.

"Alright, stop struggling in vain. Your little tricks are useless against him. He can break free anytime he wants. Besides, with your strength, you might not even be able to hurt him."

As he spoke, Jormungandr looked at the Blood Lord who was protecting Isaac. He could tell that the power level of the Staff of Aberration was similar to that of the Blood Lord, and under His protection, the Staff of Aberration could not harm Isaac.

They might even be killed by the Lord of Blood!

Because the Staff of Aberration is human, its humanity prevails and its divinity is suppressed. While this gives the Staff of Aberration more of its own identity, it also means that its control over divine power will always be one step ahead.

The Blood Lord is different. His divinity has completely devoured his humanity. Although he has lost his self, his control over divine power has been enhanced to an unprecedented degree. In terms of combat familiars alone, the Blood Lord is far superior to the Staff of Anomaly!

"But, aren't you here, sir?" The Staff of Distortion looked unwilling; he really didn't want to give up this rare opportunity!

The scene he just witnessed had a tremendous impact on him!

His divine power was completely defeated by that person's single glance!

It can't be used at all!
This is absolutely terrifying!

He never wants to go through that again!
So if he could, he would want Isaac dead!

The dead can no longer die!

Jormungandr caught a glimpse of the murderous intent and fear in the eyes of the Staff of Distortion, and shook his head inwardly. No wonder Isaac wanted to completely replace humanity with divinity. A god with self-awareness was indeed too dangerous.

but……

How did Isaac manage to control [divinity]?
As Jormungandr stopped the Staff of Aberration, he curiously examined the Lord of Blood. Normally, he should have tried his best to avoid contact with such a product that might involve knowledge of the Outer Gods, but with such an incredible creation in front of him, it was really hard for him, as a wizard, to stick to his principles!
"Give up, it's impossible. Even if you and I join forces, we can't kill him. Besides, how can you be sure that he only has that one Blood Lord?"

Upon hearing this, the Staff of Anomaly fell silent, a conflicted expression appearing on its face.

"Alright, don't worry. If he wanted to kill you, he would have done it already. He wouldn't have given you a chance to retaliate. Just stay put. With me here, you'll be fine." Jormungandr glanced at the still somewhat unwilling Staff of Mutation and said in a somewhat cold tone.

The Staff of Aberration paused for a moment, then nodded silently, its heart sinking into despair as it lowered its head with a forlorn expression.

At this moment, he once again deeply realized the gap between himself and these wizards!
if……

I wish I were a wizard too...

Inevitably, this thought began to sprout in the mind of the Staff of Distortion...

However, Isaac, who was in the mysterious sea, was unaware of all this.

By this time, Isaac had explored most of this mysterious space and had a general understanding of its situation.

This must be the outer edge of the legendary mysterious sea.

The Mysterious Sea, legend has it that it contains a shortcut to the mysterious!

Yes, another shortcut!
However, unlike previous shortcuts, this shortcut comes at an unusually high price!
The exact size is not recorded. Information and knowledge related to the origins of the mystery cannot be recorded in any form. Isaac only knows that if this shortcut is found in the Sea of ​​Mystery, then you will be omnipotent, provided you pay a certain price!

As long as you can afford the price!

Isaac wasn't very interested in this. He did like taking shortcuts, but he preferred shortcuts that came at a high price, or at least had a price that could be paid off. He usually wouldn't even glance at shortcuts that were extremely risky.
However, it's not to say that the Sea of ​​Mysteries is completely useless. If he can leave some traces here, he will surely be able to grasp more mysteries!
Even, like Jormungandr, there is a possibility that he could master the Mysterious Concealment at the fourth tier!
At that time, the trials of the boundless tower will definitely be easier for him!
but……

This is a bit difficult...

Isaac looked at his body, which was gradually becoming transparent, and frowned slightly. He had only been sent here as a consciousness, not a physical body, so his abilities here were extremely limited.

Leaving any trace is impossible.

Looking at his increasingly transparent body, Isaac sighed slightly, gave up the idea of ​​leaving a trace here, and began to continue exploring. This time, Isaac was researching the connection between superpowers and the mysterious sea.

Superpowers are also a product of wizardry, a rather unsuccessful one.

Although superpowers are also extraordinary abilities, they are extremely unsuccessful forms of extraordinary ability. Although some superpowers can even rival those of a fourth-tier wizard, their potential is extremely high!

only……

The power of superpowers cannot be improved. They remain the same as when they are awakened, and can never be improved. At most, one can only increase the proficiency.

Furthermore, although superpowers are incredibly diverse, they all share one thing in common—they are singular!

Regardless of the type of superpower, its scope of attack is quite limited, and it cannot coexist with any extraordinary power!
Oh, no, it can currently coexist with divine power.

So when faced with such a useless power, Isaac only briefly learned about it before forgetting about it. But now it seems that superpowers do have some merit and may well become a shortcut to the mysterious!

It's just a bit too random...

And so, Isaac wandered aimlessly on the outer edge of the Mysterious Sea. In the Mysterious Sea, Isaac could not feel the passage of time, and even if he could, it might not be accurate, as the laws of the Mysterious Sea might not be the same as those of the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, Isaac was still wandering the Mysterious Sea. He had not yet found the connection between the Mysterious Sea and superpowers, but he was not without any results.

When Isaac's figure faded to nothingness and he had to leave, his incredibly transparent form arrived at a small puddle on a "beach." In the puddle, a staff twisted and entwined with fleshy growths lay silently, its dark divine radiance locked within the growths, not a trace of it escaping.

This was the divinity of the Staff of Anomaly; it was through this method that the Staff of Anomaly was able to almost perfectly control its divine power. This scene disappointed Isaac somewhat; if it was only this level, it wouldn't satisfy his needs at all.

First, Isaac is currently unable to set foot in the Mystic Sea, so he cannot help others suppress divinity in this way. Second, without this most fundamental part of divinity, the "perfect" godhood will become somewhat incomplete, and its power will be much weaker than that of a normal godhood. Furthermore, the "desire" that was suppressed by the godhood ritual will also be amplified to a certain extent.

Ultimately, this is still suppression, not absorption.

Since it's suppression, it will eventually get out of control, which will make things even more troublesome.

At that time, it will no longer be the Blood Lord who has replaced humanity with divinity, but rather a being that has merged divinity and humanity, closer to a normal god!

That is, the gods created in wizarding experiments throughout history!

Without a doubt, this meant nothing to Isaac…

Well, it can't be said to be completely meaningless, after all, he still has virtual godhood with a limited lifespan. He doesn't need to worry about this part of the virtual godhood because they won't live to see that day.

However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is definitely just average.

After all, Isaac will surely have other better methods by now that he has set foot in the Mysterious Sea, so why would he need such a shortcut?

Shaking his head, the last glimmer of light on Isaac's incredibly transparent figure faded away as he left the Mysterious Sea.

……

In the real world, Isaac slowly opened his eyes, habitually turned his head, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and streams of information flowed into his mind.

"Three days have passed?" Isaac frowned slightly, looking down at the magical city.

The moment Isaac awoke, faint ripples appeared in the void not far in front of him. Jormungandr, carrying the Staff of Aberration, slowly emerged from them. The instant he appeared, Jormungandr's gaze towards Isaac sharpened, and the [Mystery] aura around Isaac increased!

And the share is not small!
Although it still can't compare to his own, this increase is already quite considerable. This is definitely not an increase that can be brought about by exploring the Mysterious Sea once. At least, when he first set foot in the Mysterious Sea, he did not gain as much as Isaac!
Is this the true nature of the Mad Witch?

Thinking about Isaac's special identity, Jormungandr felt relieved, and the lingering envy in his heart dissipated.

Strong?

It was won by risking one's life.

"Congratulations, it seems you've had quite a good harvest," Jormungandr said with a smile.

However, when Jormungandr congratulated him, Isaac sighed and waved his hand helplessly, saying, "What's there to congratulate me on? I haven't gained anything. I spent so much time and in the end, I didn't leave a trace. I couldn't even figure out the connection between my powers and the Mysterious Sea. I'm far inferior to you."

'This guy is incredibly greedy...' Jormungandr's lips twitched slightly. He could only say, as expected of the Mad Witch.

“I apologize for disturbing you by coming here so abruptly. This is just a small gift, nothing more. By the way, the method of suppressing divinity through the Mystic Sea is not foolproof. Although this guy doesn’t have much time left, there’s still a possibility of a sudden explosion. Be careful.” With that, Isaac handed a cloth bag to Jormungandr.

Jormungandr did not accept the bag, but looked at it with a frown, both because of Isaac's gift and because of his words.

Having been a mad witch for so long, Isaac is now quite self-aware and has a very clear understanding of himself. Therefore, when he saw that Jormungandr did not take the bag, he knew what Jormungandr was worried about, and then spoke up.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Outer Gods. It's just some normal little research I did a few years ago. It should be useful to you."

"Oh? Is that so? Thank you very much then."

Sure enough, upon hearing Isaac's words, Jormungandr felt relieved and reached out to take the bag.

An imperceptible, mysterious light flashed in his hand. After confirming that it was not a product of the Outer God, the smile on his face became even more amiable, because he sensed divine power within it.

Artificial Godhood Fragments!
Moreover, they are fragments of divine essence of extremely high purity!

How high is the purity?
If you fill this thing with a little faith and power, there is a high probability that it will become a true god!

It’s incredible!

However, Jormungandr's joy did not last long. He glanced at the Staff of Aberration behind him, thought about the guy's expression over the past three days, and then looked at the fragment of divinity in his hand, lost in thought.

"What does 'not living long' mean?"

Jormungandr, who was still pondering the possibility of the Staff of Distortion going out of control in the future, looked up at Isaac when he heard the slightly trembling voice beside him.

This guy's words were short, but they contained a lot of information!

"What do you mean by 'not long to live'? A true god shouldn't die so easily!" Jormungandr asked, frowning as he put away his bag.

True gods are not immortal; they can be killed and die, and they may even have an end to their lifespan. This sounds incredible, especially the latter, since gods do indeed possess the concept of "eternity," and theoretically, their lifespan is infinite.

Of course, this is only in theory.

It has been proven that a true god can be killed, but whether a true god is immortal is still only a theory.

So one day, to verify this, several demigod wizards joined forces to unleash a super-dimensional time magic—the Fall of the Gods!

They accelerated the time of a true god, taking a full three years to successfully drain all of His lifespan, causing Him to die of old age!

Thus, the theory that the lifespan of the true God is finite has been confirmed.

However, even if it was limited, it was still quite a long time. Countless gods died in battle, but only one god died of old age. In a sense, he was also killed by the wizards.

“Yes, true gods are indeed not so easy to die, but as you said, they are true gods. They? They are not true gods, they just possess some of the characteristics and theories of true gods. The most typical point is that their lifespan is limited. Your one has more lifespan left, about half a year, while mine only has two or three months left.” As he spoke, Isaac shrugged.

"But don't worry, he shouldn't die. He's lucky he didn't deeply fuse with the Staff of Aberration, but he won't retain any of his divine power."
