But it's only a preliminary success; it's still far from the ideal state, and what's rather awkward is that the ideal state...
It seems impossible to finish!
At this moment, although the Blood Lord can be completely controlled by Isaac, due to the special nature of [divinity], His will has lost its underlying "thinking" quality. The Blood Lord is now more like a machine controlled by Isaac than a subordinate with self-thinking.
"Ah~"
Isaac sighed. He knew he had been too greedy, wanting both absolute loyalty and the ability to think for himself. Where in the world could you find such a good deal?
Freedom is the ultimate aspiration of all living beings that possess a sense of self!
However, it's not to say that it's completely useless. At least in terms of combat, there is no difference. It still has the combat power of a strong fourth tier, and it's even more reliable than before!
Because there is no ego, you don't have to worry about Him slacking off or doing nothing in the battle, or even stabbing you in the back. Fighting alongside Him, you will have no worries whatsoever.
From this perspective, the experiment was quite successful!
Of course, this one successful case does not prove that the spell is without problems; more experiments and more data are needed.
So after observing the Lord of Blood briefly and confirming His condition, Isaac had a thought, and the Lord of Blood raised His right arm.
In an instant, the Milky Way appeared upside down!
The crimson pool of blood on the ground swept towards the sky, converging and spreading along the right hand of the Blood Lord, gradually condensing into a blood-red streak that floated and wrapped around the Blood Lord's body.
After putting away the artifact Blood Pool, the Lord of Blood transformed into a beam of blood-red light and entered Isaac's right index finger, turning into a ruby ring.
Isaac raised his right hand, examined the ruby ring, and after confirming that it could instantly transform him back into the Blood Lord to fight, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the location of the last virtual godhood, the Staff of Aberration.
Of course, while traveling, Isaac was not idle. He activated his powers to the fullest extent, and with the cooperation of the Blood Lord, the data from the artifact Blood Pool flowed continuously into Isaac's heart.
Isaac was still very curious about this artifact.
It's perfectly normal for gods to become stronger by forging divine artifacts, and this is the only way for virtual gods to become powerful.
But the Blood Pool artifact is a little different!
Theoretically speaking, divine artifacts are an extension of the power and authority of gods, meaning that their abilities do not exceed the scope of the gods' power and authority. Furthermore, weaker divine artifacts may lose most of their power after the gods perish.
But the Blood Pool... is different, very different!
Because Isaac discovered traces of the powers of [Nurture] and [Enhancement] inside!
Although it is only a trace at present and has not yet been fully formed, this is enough to illustrate its special nature!
Isn't this a miracle in itself?
Therefore, this thing is of great research value to Isaac, whether for the exploration and research of [miracles] or for the enhancement of virtual gods, this thing is very important.
Unfortunately, Isaac didn't have much time left, because the Blood Lord's lifespan was already only half a year before Isaac arrived, and during these three days of transformation, His lifespan was shortened even further, leaving Him with only one month.
This means that in just one month, Isaac either needs to successfully extend the life of the virtual god or strengthen the artifact Blood Pool so that it can retain its original power after the fall of the Blood Lord, even if it means sacrificing its growth potential.
Yes, Isaac has made his choice: save the small over the big!
There was nothing he could do; it wasn't that he didn't want to save the mother, but he was simply powerless to do so.
Isaac has been researching how to extend the life of virtual deities, although he only treats it as a side project. He has invested a considerable amount of energy and time in it, yet he has gained nothing...
All the data of the virtual deity was locked during the weaving and charging process. The former locked the upper limit of its power, while the latter locked the upper limit. Once the corresponding steps were completed, it could no longer be changed.
At least with Isaac's current abilities, there's no way to change it.
Therefore, Isaac does not intend to put much effort into this aspect. What he needs to do now is to protect the artifact, Blood Pool, so that he can proceed with the next step of research.
In any case, the Lord of Blood wasn't particularly important to him.
The art style is so evil!
When I was weak, it didn't matter. As long as my strength was useful, I didn't care what others thought. But now it's different. Now that I'm stronger, I have to pay a little more attention to my image. I can't just casually throw out a big cloud of black smoke. What kind of image would that make?
Furthermore, this is also an advantage. You see, for legendary wizards, "mystery" and "legend" are very important, and the art style also occupies a significant place in these two concepts, especially "legend"!
Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good!
This saying wasn't just circulating in Isaac's past life; it also enjoys considerable acceptance in this world. Regardless of who defines good and evil, in the realm of "mystery" and "legend," if you're emanating black energy, you're very likely evil!
Therefore, when you face an enemy who embodies the "justice" attribute within the concepts of "mystery" and "legend," you will naturally be at a disadvantage!
The battles between high-ranking wizards are gradually shifting from the material level to the conceptual level.
Although he hasn't reached the fourth level yet, he's already showing some signs of it, and Isaac needs to prepare in advance.
Therefore, Isaac plans to replace all the virtual gods he controls with real gods that are glittering with gold!
His actions are always righteous and glorious!
Ok……
Isaac, engrossed in his research, had clearly overlooked one crucial issue: all the virtual deities he controlled were radiant, righteous figures, so…
What is the true nature of Isaac, who has controlled these gods through unknown evil means?
Of course, it's also possible that he subconsciously made himself ignore the problem, because in a world where gods really exist and the belief in gods is widespread, enslaving gods is an unforgivable crime!
In other words, we live in the age of wizards, and the belief in gods has been greatly weakened. Otherwise, let alone taking action, the very idea of it would be enough to burn people alive several times over!
……
Time passed slowly as Isaac traveled and studied. Soon, Isaac arrived at the location of the Staff of Anomaly, a small magical city!
The first two virtual deities were obtained by demons, but this one was obtained by a human who disguised himself as a human wizard from outside!
However, this was not what surprised Isaac the most. What surprised him the most was that, according to the "usage records" he learned through the [Miracle], this human was not the first owner of the virtual godhood, but the third!
In other words, he killed his ex!
A god of the fourth rank!
The second Isaac is understandable, because according to the "usage record", the second Aberration Staff itself was a fourth-tier monster that flowed out of the dungeon, which is normal.
After all, the first generation of virtual gods had a considerable amount of time to adapt to their own power, which is incomparable to the current virtual gods.
Therefore, it's normal to be unable to beat someone of the same level.
But this third one is very strange. The further you go on the path to transcendence, the greater the gap becomes. Let alone an ordinary person, even a third-tier person cannot kill a seriously injured fourth-tier person!
Unless the two fourth-tier beings perish together and their corpses fall outside the combat range, it's possible for an ordinary person to snatch the spoils, but the probability is extremely low.
Of course, it's low, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
However, Isaac's intuition told him that things were not so simple, which is why he left the Staff of Aberration until last.
But now it seems that it's not that simple.
Looking down at the magical city nestled in the wilderness, Isaac's eyes gleamed. Soon, he deciphered the mysterious attributes of this magical city—[Aberration] and [Special Ability].
Immediately, Isaac raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed his intuition was right; there was indeed a problem here!
The mysterious attributes of magical cities are not without positive aspects. Based on the scattered information Isaac has gathered during this period, among the three largest magical cities, excluding the two arcane cities, the remaining magical city has a positive mysterious attribute.
And it's completely positive!
These are [Magic Bloodline], [Magic Physique], and [Psychic].
The three positive mystical attributes endowed the city with the ability to mass-produce superhumans, and humans infected by these three mystical attributes would undergo a transformation, retaining their physical appearance but completely losing their human identity conceptually!
In other words, that city, in a sense, has broken the restrictions imposed on humanity by the Wilderness Tower!
This will be the case, at least for some time.
While the mystical attributes of this magical city are not as good as those of that other city, they are still quite good. Mystical attributes are like opening a blind box for all wizards; no one can reliably control their output.
Because once it becomes stable, it means that it loses the concept of "mystery".
Even great wizards are no exception to this.
So in this situation, it's a bit of a coincidence...
After a moment of thought, Isaac twitched his index finger slightly, and the figure of the Blood Lord appeared behind Isaac. He and Isaac raised their right hands at the same time, and a torrent of frenzied magic and divine power poured out!
next second!
Two enormous magic circles appeared in the sky above the city!
One was blood-red, radiating terrifying divine power fluctuations; it was a divine magic array!
One is purple, radiating strange magical energy fluctuations; it is a magic circle!
Chapter 296 The Evil Solomon Brat, I'll Do It Myself
Terrifying fluctuations of magic and divine power raged across the magical city, causing everyone in the city to look up at the sky in terror and collapse helplessly to the ground!
Faced with this terrifying power, they didn't even have the strength to run away!
"who!?"
However, not everyone in the city was frightened. Just as the two magic arrays in the sky were set up, a deep voice filled with anger rang out.
At the same time, two beams of light flew out from the city. One of them exploded in the air, covering the entire city like a canopy, transforming into an indestructible defensive barrier.
Another beam of light shot straight toward the two magic arrays in the sky!
"Whoosh~"
The black rays of light shooting out from the city pierced straight through the two magic arrays, causing a distortion. Then, the divine magic array and the magical magic array simultaneously exploded into countless points of light!
Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, refrained from attacking again, and simultaneously pressed down on the Blood Lord who was about to continue the bombardment, looking down at the figure slowly emerging from the void below.
No, to be precise, it didn't emerge from the void.
Although Isaac had not specifically studied spatial magic, his insight in this area was not low, thanks to the power and knowledge he had picked up from the Void Worm. Although the way this guy appeared looked like a spatial spell, it was not actually one.
This is a movement ability even more advanced than spatial magic, something that Isaac, or rather all legendary wizards, have always dreamed of—mystery!
Hidden in mystery, the ultimate pursuit of legendary wizards!
Only a great wizard can achieve this level. Once wizards reach this point, they are infinitely close to the common people's simple understanding of the power of gods—omniscience and omnipotence!
Of course, the person in front of me could not possibly do that; he had only scratched the surface, namely, mysteriously disappearing!
Mysterious concealment, in theory, is a skill that only fifth-tier legendary wizards can master. It involves communicating with the "mysterious" and using the power of the "mysterious" to cover one's actions.
In its early days, it could only be used to cover up some traces, making it impossible for normal means to detect the truth. However, as the wizarding path developed, this method gradually became more unpredictable.
The most typical example is how this person is using it right now, using the power of "mystery" to "conceal" the "trajectory" of their actions, in order to achieve a movement effect similar to spatial teleportation, moving from one point to another.
