This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 298 The Divine Assembly Line!
In the end, Isaac didn't bother with the Staff of Aberration and left it with Jormungandr, after all, Jormungandr had to be respected.

If the Staff of Aberration perfectly embodies the power of the virtual godhood, devouring divinity with humanity, then no matter how special or coincidental his situation may be, Isaac will choose to fight Jormungandr to the end and bring him back.

Because no matter how special or accidental his situation may be, under Isaac's magic touch, it will become 100%!

The difference is probably just a matter of cost-effectiveness.

Unfortunately, the Staff of Distortion is not only unique, but it also harbors a huge hidden danger. With Isaac's current knowledge, he has no idea how to solve it, so it is useless to him.

Since that's the case, I might as well do Jormungandr a favor.

The personal connections of such veteran wizards are still very important.

Although this is a supernatural world where great power belongs to oneself, interpersonal relationships are also very important, especially before you are invincible!

This is precisely what Isaac lacks, because he leveled up too quickly, to the point that he has no friends at the same level, not even a nodding acquaintance, not even a single person he merely knows...

Jormungandr is different. As a veteran fourth-tier wizard, a fourth-tier wizard who is about to advance to the fifth tier, and an old monster who has lived for countless years, his network of connections is undoubtedly very powerful!

For Isaac, there are many benefits to befriending them.

The only downside is that the other party refused to engage in academic exchanges with him!

Indeed, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. Just because someone makes deals with outcasts and enslaves gods, they refuse to engage in academic exchanges with them. This world is truly...

"Sigh~ It's all knowledge, so why is there still discrimination..." Isaac sighed and returned to the underground city with the Blood Lord.

Just as when he left, Isaac's return went unnoticed. He and the Blood Lord quietly returned to a basement in the underground city and began to sort out their gains.

First and foremost, the success of the derivative spell Miracle Domination is undoubtedly the most commendable achievement. The next urgent task is to create another God Familiar. Although God Familiars have almost no independent action and can only assist in battle, this is exactly what Isaac, who has just advanced to the fourth rank, lacks.

Secondly, another righteous god must be created for the underground city, and it cannot be done arbitrarily as before. The authority of this righteous god must be related to [reproduction] and [birth].

Although the population of the underground city has reached its limit, it is foreseeable that this is only temporary. Once they have absorbed the current population and established a sound management system, they will inevitably continue to expand.

The expansion of a power cannot rely solely on the influx of outsiders. While this method is effective, it has significant drawbacks, and competition is fierce these days. Sooner or later, the humans in the wilderness will have exhausted all their resources.

Therefore, preparations for matters related to reproduction should be made in advance.

Although the world of Wilderness Palace itself has similar abilities, which is why humanity has not been wiped out in such a harsh environment, even if it does, it must only be a safety net mechanism that can only guarantee that humanity will not be extinct.

However, it cannot guarantee that humanity will be able to reproduce and thrive.

Isaac even suspected that there might be some kind of law governing human reproduction in this world, because he had observed the humans in this world and found that their success rate was pitifully low!
Despite the high frequency of movement, very few people reacted.

This isn't normal!
So Isaac prepared to give them all the relevant deities to bless them.

Furthermore, it is clearly not enough to only have a conceived deity; a growing deity is also needed to perhaps achieve rapid troop production.

Besides these two, they need many more gods, but Isaac doesn't intend to provide them all. Firstly, it's too tiring, and secondly, it wouldn't do him any good.

Moreover, he prefers teaching someone how to fish to giving them a fish.

That is, to bring the consecration ceremony of the real world that can create virtual gods to this world and transform it into a miracle of this world!

Perfect timing! By familiarizing himself with [miracles], he can also compare the differences between setting up miracles in this small world and setting up miracles in the real world.

But all of that is for later. Right now, while the Blood Lord is still around, let's try out the new method for creating godhood fragments!

The Divine Fragment was one of Isaac's earlier, more advanced research achievements. Although it was not very useful, its extremely high status allowed Isaac to attract several investments, which helped him a lot.

But that's all there is to it, because the fragments of divinity only sound high-end; in reality, they're completely useless.

Isaac even tried using it as a ritual offering to the Outer Gods, but because the fragments were so small, none of the Outer Gods wanted them...

It can't even serve as a cushion for a cheat code...

It's utter garbage; its only use is as a snack for hamsters.

Therefore, Isaac didn't delve deeper into this area, but instead set it aside, occasionally making a little bit for his hamsters as a snack, until...

Miracle Magic: The Appearance of a God!
It can not only be used to power virtual deities, but also to endow virtual deities with a portion of the concept of "eternity"!
That's how his status skyrocketed thanks to the rise of virtual deities!

So, after arriving in the world of the Wilderness Dungeon, during his two and a half years of seclusion, Isaac not only optimized the ascension ritual of the virtual godhood, but also optimized the godhood fragments.

However, rather than optimizing the divine fragments, it's more accurate to say that the method of creating divine fragments has been optimized, making it more efficient!
After all, the divine fragments themselves are still not very useful; although their rank is high, their numerical value is simply too low.

Optimizing the most basic values ​​of a god fragment is just as difficult as becoming a god, and may even be easier, since becoming a god can be achieved through shortcuts. Just pick up a god fragment, hold a godhood ceremony, and you have a high probability of becoming a god, which is much simpler than strengthening god fragments.

Even so, the current number of god fragments still cannot meet Isaac's needs. Although the efficiency of creating god fragments has increased, it still relies on Isaac's special abilities. Otherwise, even if Isaac were to personally handle the process, the success rate would be pitifully low.

So optimization is still necessary. After all, Isaac hopes to spend his time on more meaningful things, rather than this kind of repetitive, valueless labor like an assembly line.

Are there any alternative methods?
The answer is yes, all that's needed is to hand over the production of the divine fragments.

Under normal circumstances, this is very difficult, since the difference between divine fragments and divine fragments is only in numerical values, not in mechanics or rank, and it is very difficult to produce them using normal methods.

But, who made Isaac's situation abnormal?
After all, he has gods under his command!
Would it be different if God created the fragments of divinity?
Isaac was a little curious.

He had already tried before, but the power of the virtual deity could not power the virtual godhood, because both possessed the concept of "illusion," and the principle of two negatives making a positive did not work here.

However, adding a step in the process might lead to a different answer... In the basement, Isaac looked expectantly at the Lord of Blood, who slowly picked up a piece of monster meat from the experimental table. His non-existent "eyes" stared at the meat in his hand, and blood-red divine power slowly surged, like threads, and was slowly injected into the meat.

Under Isaac's expectant gaze, the crimson divine power threads slowly merged with the chunk of flesh, and crimson divine power networks began to spread across the flesh!
Upon seeing this, Isaac couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight!
This is because, in addition to the fact that the process of transforming the meat chunks is the same as the process of creating god fragments, in Isaac's eyes, the success rate of the thing hanging above the meat chunks is also 100%!

This is the extreme success rate without the use of a mat!
This demonstrates that the action will succeed without external interference!

only……

If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is about to occur...

The moment the divine fragment took shape, before Isaac could even take it, it transformed into a streak of blood-red light and completely merged into the Blood Lord's body!
Isaac was completely stunned.

After a brief moment of surprise, Isaac frowned and began to analyze. First of all, it could be confirmed that there were no problems with the entire experimental procedure, as both the data and the feedback from the "golden finger" proved to be true.

So, did the Lord of Blood steal it?
Isaac looked up at the Blood Lord's calm features composed of blood mist, and shook his head slightly. The Blood Lord only possessed divinity and would only act in accordance with the authority of divinity and Isaac's orders. Let alone a fragment of divinity, even a genuine divine essence would not allow Him to act without authorization.

that……

Is that why?

Isaac narrowed his eyes and had the Blood Lord begin the second experiment.

The second experiment was just like the first; everything went incredibly smoothly until…

Final shape!
As before, once the divine fragment was formed, it turned into a beam of blood-red light and merged into the Blood Lord's body, disappearing without a trace. Even though Isaac had preemptively activated the power spell "Arrogant Turtle," it was to no avail.

Then, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...

The Blood Lord tried more than ten times, but the result was always the same: once the creation was successful, the divine fragments would directly merge with the Blood Lord, and no method could stop the fusion.

The joy on Isaac's face vanished completely, replaced by a furrowed brow. After a moment's thought, Isaac waved his hand and put away the Blood Lord. The experiment continued, but next he planned to have Mephisto and the others try it out to see if the problem lay with the Blood Lord.

After all, the Blood Lord's situation is rather special. His power involves flesh and blood, and the basic material for the Godhood fragments is demonized flesh and blood, which may have some impact.

A hideous, serrated edge emerged from the void and swallowed Isaac whole.

In the underground city above ground, Mephisto was intently flipping through a small booklet made of animal hides, pondering how to quickly improve the strength of his familiars. Currently, the development of his familiars has reached a bottleneck. Although, thanks to their large numbers, they can still obtain enough resources from the underground palace to maintain their survival and development.

However, most of the servants are still too weak, and at most they can only wander around the second level of the dungeon. They can't go any deeper.

But that won't work!
Except for the last level, all other levels of the dungeon need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise the monsters inside will rush out and wreak havoc!
Currently, He and the God of War are handling all the other levels of the underground palace, and they can continue for now. However, this is not a long-term solution. As the underground palace city expands, they need to clear more underground palaces to obtain sufficient resources.

Furthermore, even if they are content with the status quo, they still need to be vigilant against other dungeons at all times. Otherwise, if they get out of control and monsters wander over to their area, it will still be a considerable problem.

So ultimately, it all comes down to improving your own abilities!

True strength comes from being strong yourself!
but……

Is this easier said than done?
Although their own power is inexhaustible, the power they use to transform and elevate their followers is not. Now, with their extensive transformations, the power they had when they became gods has long been exhausted.

Mephisto is the same. Although he has fewer followers than the God of War, their quality is much higher. Moreover, he used all his excess power to strengthen his followers, and now he has nothing left.

As for how to restore this power, they have now figured it out—faith!
As long as there are people who believe in them and exercise their divine authority, that power can be restored!
only……

The recovery process is extremely slow...

From the information flowing from the divine spirit, Mephisto knew that this power was called the power of faith. In the divine books, it was a rather omnipotent power that could be used to do many things, but its most basic use was to enhance one's own power.

However, this is useless to them, since their strength cannot be improved.

As for other uses...

Further exploration is needed.

Therefore, it can currently only be used for transforming and strengthening dependents.

There is only one way to increase your ability to gain faith: have more intelligent beings believe in you!
This brings us back to the original problem—population.

The underground city cannot accommodate any more people for the time being, so we must slow down...

"Ah~"

Just as Mephisto sighed, a series of hideous, evil serrations slowly emerged in the void. Mephisto frowned, and golden flames leaped up, but they were extinguished by Mephisto as soon as they ignited.

Only because Isaac's figure slowly emerged from the jagged edges of this righteous void.

"God Lord!"

Mephisto immediately bowed respectfully.

Isaac waved his hand and tossed a piece of monster flesh to Mephisto: "Do me a favor."

After saying that, he casually unleashed a stream of magical light that entered Mephisto's mind; this was the method for creating a fragment of godhood.

"As you command, Lord God."

As a god, even a virtual one, Mephisto possessed exceptional learning abilities. He grasped the process of creating the god fragment almost instantly, nodded in agreement, and then began the creation process.

But soon, the same situation as with the Blood Lord occurred: the divine fragments merged into Mephisto's body the moment they took shape!
The difference is that Mephisto seems somewhat pleased?
