Myth: I am God!

Chapter 98 A God Walking Among Humans?

The leaders were delighted to see the wizard being repeatedly repelled.

The bearded man exclaimed, "That wizard is a paper tiger! Perhaps his magic has already run out!"

however.

The very next moment after he said those words—

Isaac's pupils flashed with golden light, and he murmured, "Fire!"

next moment.

Countless flames appeared before those golden warriors.

Like a wall.

They've been stopped!

"What is this now?"

They were immediately thrown into a panic.

And in the next moment.

Within that wall of fire...

Then the figure in the golden cloak stepped out.

He walked on fire, the flames passing over him without harming him in the slightest...

It was as if the fire were his servant...

And just as the Golden Warriors were about to make their next move.

Isaac's voice, like a commandment, echoed between the rock walls: "Hear my command, fires..."

As soon as this incantation was uttered, it was as if he had seized the power of Hephaestus, the god of fire, and the element of fire in the atmosphere continued to gather and generate around Isaac.

Intense and scorching, the airflow is disturbed by the heat.

This distorted the light...

Before the golden warriors' eyes, the wizard suddenly burst into flames, his entire body enveloped in fire—a sight both terrifying and eerie, sending chills down their spines.

"Listen to my words," he said, extending his hand.

The endless flames gathered in his palm.

It felt like there was a vortex of fire, a fiery tornado, in the palm of my hand.

As the temperature grew hotter and the flames became more dazzling.

Even the golden warriors could feel the air burning hot. With each breath, it felt as if their lungs were being scorched. Seeing this, they lost all courage to attack and could only tremble as they looked at the figure in front of them, which was now like a blazing sun, and retreat continuously.

At that moment, Isaac spoke again, "Burn!"

next moment!

boom-

A blazing, scorching, and dazzling firework, as bright as lava!

It shot out from his palm!

The dark cave was suddenly as bright as day.

The golden warrior standing there, stunned, suddenly contracted his pupils.

In their despair, the flames instantly engulfed everything like a tidal wave...

However, the flames did not stop after they engulfed the golden warrior.

The flames burned a terrifying, scorching trench in the ground.

The next instant, it crashed into the bandit camp, destroying the wooden walls like a tidal wave.

A massive flame swept over the desperate, terrified crowd and camp.

Everything was engulfed in flames...

Ten seconds later...

The cave, which was as bright as day, gradually dimmed.

The fire in Isaac's hand gradually died out.

When he looked up, two-thirds of the camp had already been destroyed by the flames. The soldiers were either dead or wounded, and more than a thousand people had been reduced to ashes in an instant. Whether they were bronze or silver, they had all been refined into ash by the flames, just like ordinary people.

The rocks along the way were scorching hot, glowing red, with molten lava seeping from their cracks.

Isaac was panting heavily, completely exhausted, his face pale and his vision blurring, as if he were about to faint at any moment... This level of use was still too much for Isaac. Although the power was terrifying, Isaac felt his life force being constantly drained away while using it.

However, just as Isaac's vision went black and he was about to faint from exhaustion...

In that trance, another authority besides the [Eye of the Oracle] appeared within that soul: the [Breath of the Yew].

The next moment, the body, which had been parched and withered like a dead plant, seemed to be infused with a clear spring. Its exhaustion, weakness, and frailty were gradually replenished, and finally, the depleted life force began to recover...

Isaac regained his footing.

The closed eyes are opened again.

Apart from a small tuft of white hair on his forehead.

He has fully recovered!

After regaining his composure, Isaac looked at the camp burning in the distance, where many people were still alive in the fire.

Isaac, being kind-hearted, was about to step forward to help them escape.

Just then, a figure emerged from behind a nearby rock, its body charred black and its legs burned off...

Isaac recognized him; it was the bearded man who had first found him.

He seemed to have stumbled behind a rock because of good fortune.

They were spared the direct scorching heat of the flames.

That's how he managed to stay alive.

His eyes were filled with despair and confusion.

With its crippled body, it crawled to Isaac's side.

He raised his head, trembling, and said, "You...you are no ordinary person..."

Isaac heard this and stopped walking.

He looked at the bearded man on the ground, whose face was now unrecognizable and his body charred, barely clinging to life.

There was absolutely no chance of survival.

The dying man spoke earnestly, his eyes burning with intensity, and asked, "Can you tell me?"

Isaac was taken aback and asked, "What?"

The bearded man paused, using his last breath, his last glimmer of life...

He asked the question: "Who... exactly are you, a deity walking among mortals?"

Isaac smiled upon hearing this, but did not answer directly.

They walked toward the burning camp, from which came wails and screams.

Only a silhouette remains...

His golden cloak swayed in the firelight as he walked toward the fire, as if walking toward his kingdom.

The bearded man's consciousness gradually faded.

And in that daze.

He heard the words, "I am not God."

"I am Isaac Messiah!"

"The burnt offering forgivable by God".

"The Son of Canaan in the fire..."

Isaac was quite merciful in some ways.

Because the flames cooled down as they moved further away.

Many of the robbers were burned or maimed, but did not die.

Isaac was kind-hearted and could not bear to see these people suffer.

So he picked up a fireball and burned them alive one by one.

Listening to the wails and screams of the robbers.

Isaac seemed to have returned to that beautiful afternoon when heavenly fire burned the Canaanite sinners...

After killing all the enemies.

When Isaac was clearing the battlefield.

He discovered a mineral deposit hidden within the camp, or rather, the camp itself was built around this deposit... Isaac, somewhat curious, entered the mine to investigate...

This is a mixed mineral vein, with copper and iron ore everywhere, and some gold and other rare mineral veins can be found a little deeper, but that's all fine... But in the innermost part of the vein, there seems to be some light.

Isaac was dumbfounded when he went in—

This is... a magic crystal vein?

Magic crystals can appear in the form of mineral veins? Aren't they only obtainable from the bodies of ferocious beasts?

This is a bit beyond the common sense of The Binding of Isaac.

Moreover, according to his observation, the magic crystals in this magic crystal vein are different from those inside the ferocious beasts; they are purer.

Like a crystal-clear, fluorescent gem, it was as pure as the magic crystal left by her father, while the magic crystals inside the ferocious beasts were generally murky and mottled, displaying various colors...

According to letters Perseus sent from time to time, Isaac learned that purer magic crystals were several times more effective than mottled ones, to the point that the Hall of Heroes gradually began to classify magic crystals into different tiers.

There are low-level magic crystals and high-level magic crystals, and so on.

Isaac shook his head. He didn't have any clue about this matter for the time being, but he roughly guessed why these bandits generally had bronze and silver levels. Guarding such a rich magic crystal mine and spending some time raising a group of warriors was not a difficult task at all.

Seeing this, Isaac silently memorized the terrain, so that he would be prepared should either Canaan or Argos need large amounts of magic crystals in the future.

After figuring out the situation of the mine, Isaac began to clean up inside and outside the camp.

As he rummaged through the dead men's belongings, he realized these robbers were all penniless; there wasn't much of value in their possessions—gold coins, jewelry, and the like were beneath his notice...

However, he found a letter that was not yet burnt on the body of the leader with the big beard.

This piqued Isaac's curiosity.

Isaac could read and even possessed a certain level of literary literacy, far surpassing his father's mediocre abilities.

He could easily read the words on the papyrus: "Proceed according to plan..."

"Keep an eye on that Hayden. That idiot is simple-minded and prone to causing trouble, at least until the Three Kingdoms Federation dissolves."

"No information can be leaked..."

"I have secured Collins's covert alliance..."

"At the same time, as long as the conflict between Memphis, Athens, and Argos deepens..."

"I will give you instructions in a few days; I need your informants."

"Go to Canaan and capture a woman named Hiaja..."

She is at the heart of it all.

"As long as the federation is divided, Athens will be our natural ally..."
