The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 174

At first, Smith and the others were on guard as they watched the monsters scatter, worried that there might be some kind of conspiracy. But after a while, when they saw that the monsters had really left, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these monsters pose no threat to them, Isaac is currently at a critical juncture, and if these monsters were to disturb him, the situation would become very serious.

However, Smith and his group were clearly overthinking it. The moment the ceremony officially began, no one except the gods could stop it!

Above the territory, Isaac waved his hands to the sides, a wizard's hat appearing in one hand and a staff in the other. After putting on the hat, he gently tapped the staff downwards in the air, and an invisible wave spread out, and the gaze of a powerful being descended upon him!

Isaac's demonic eye between his brows opened, curiously examining the being to see which unlucky fellow it was.

Lord Yelinus, the Lord of Imaginary Numbers, is an evil god who wields power over illusion and data. He is highly skilled at using the power of information pollution. He can distort the form of life on a spiritual level simply by infusing a large amount of polluted information!

It is an extremely terrifying evil god!

Furthermore, it also possesses a portion of the authority over imaginary magic, making it a coveted evil god, much to Isaac's envy.

However, this time his target is not the power of the imaginary number. His anchor point with the real world is not yet very stable, so it is not suitable for him to pick up the power of the Outer Gods again.

This time, he was simply aiming for Yelinus's data authority, hoping to use His power to reshape his own dimension.

"Interesting wizard. It's been many years since a wizard offered their territory as a sacrifice... Arrogant little thief! You're asking for death!"

Yelinos's leisurely yet terrifying words were cut short as he was forced to stop, letting out an angry shout, all because...

Isaac has already started collecting...

With his increased strength, Isaac is now more at ease when trading with the Outer Gods than before. For example, before, he would first exchange a few pleasantries with the Outer Gods before pretending to set a trading target to distract them.

Finally, it's time to start collecting.

But things are different now. Isaac has now been promoted to a high wizard and has a more thorough understanding of the world, especially regarding the trade with the Outer Gods.

Now, even without considering the success rate of his cheat system, he knows when to back down.

So as soon as the ceremony began, the picking started immediately, without any hesitation!

"You little thief! You *****! I *****! *****! *****!"

Listening to Yelinos's incredibly foul curses, Isaac nonchalantly picked at his ear, then continued to gather the unwanted power and continuously channel it into the dimensional world, transforming it to give it the ability to store data.

Of course, this is just the basic goal. Since we've already started making deals with the evil god, it's best to go straight to the stomach and also get the ability to output junk information, so we don't have to look for other Outer Gods later.

It's better to handle things from two different perspectives; this way, it'll save Yelinos some trouble.

While Isaac was busily transforming his dimensional world, on the other side, in a corner of a massive ritual array, the Three-Eyed Goblin was also undergoing a silent transformation!

Around the three-eyed goblin, a rudimentary magic circle was slowly taking shape. Although simple, the magic circle was complete in every way, silently drawing down a trace of immense power from the vast ritual that covered the entire frontier territory!

Of course, it can't be said that it was completely silent; the commotion was actually quite significant. However, Isaac was currently focused on his battle with Yelinos, so he didn't notice the Three-Eyed Goblin's actions.

And what about Yelinos?

He did notice, after all, the force that drew them there originated from Him.

However, He didn't care either, because the Three-Eyed Goblin was Isaac's dimensional apostle. His aura might seem completely different to others, but to a god, it was the same.

Therefore, Yelinus believed that this was just a little trick by Isaac to distract Him, and He would not be easily fooled!

And so, by a twist of fate, the ritual that the three-eyed goblin was supposed to fail at actually proceeded smoothly...

The miracle of life is about to be repeated in it...

Under the influence of Yelinos's power, the three-eyed goblin's body began to completely disintegrate!

First the feet, then the hands, then the torso, and finally even the head collapsed, leaving only a demonic eye floating in a ball of dark green magic!

However, although the Three-Eyed Goblin's body was gone, it did not mean that it had failed; on the contrary, it had succeeded!

It not only successfully shed the goblin's ugly body, but also completed the legendary wizard's ascension ceremony in one fell swoop!

Now, it is a standard, officially recognized wizard!

Chapter 236 New Companion: Sauron's Eye!

The ritual for the Three-Eyed Goblin went very smoothly, and Isaac's went even better. With a roar from Yelinus, the god of imaginary numbers, the ritual officially came to an end, ending in a complete victory for both Isaac and the Three-Eyed Goblin!

"Zizi~"

In a silent and pitch-black void, Isaac stood silently, beneath his feet surging chaotic magic like a storm, filling the void left by the sacrificed frontier.

Whether it's uniting, summoning, or drawing...

Pieces of land are slowly filling this dark void, or perhaps, not so slowly?

After all, this is deep in the wilderness, where there is no shortage of disordered magic and no shortage of wild land.

However, this had nothing to do with Isaac. At this moment, he stood in the void, casually casting a magical shield to protect the three-eyed goblin who had just shed its goblin body and successfully become a formal wizard. He then raised his right hand, which was wrapped with circles of imaginary number runes, and his eyes gleamed.

perhaps……

It wasn't a resounding victory...

Isaac raised an eyebrow. It seemed that even with a cheat code, one couldn't underestimate these Outer Gods. Despite being so careful, he still got tricked...

Isaac's goal this time was actually just to modify his own dimensional world to give it the ability to store data. Firstly, by taking advantage of the infinite nature of the dimensional world, he could conduct his research on gods more effectively. Secondly, it would also add another powerful arcane system to his existing magic cannon.

Thirdly, it's because he's no longer suited to make deals with the Outer Gods, or rather, he's no longer suited to increase the Outer Gods' power.

In this transaction, the first two points were successfully completed, and the second point was even exceeded, because in addition to a series of powerful arcane arts born from the new characteristic of the dimensional world, [Infinite Data], he also obtained a new talent spell, Imaginary Number Creation.

That is, the magical runes that look like numbers currently wrapped around his right hand.

Imaginary creation, as its name suggests, is a very simple effect. It allows one to create and manipulate imaginary numbers and is the most important and rarest foundational magic in the imaginary magic school.

It can be said that the imaginary number magic cast by an imaginary number mage who creates imaginary numbers and that of an imaginary number mage who does not create imaginary numbers are completely from two different dimensions.

But that's where the problem lies. Imaginary creation is an innate spell, a spell that belongs entirely to Isaac himself, a spell bestowed by the Outer Gods.

Therefore, this gift from the Outer God deepened the world's rejection of Isaac.

"Tsk~" Isaac looked at the circle of illusory numbers on his right hand and pursed his lips helplessly.

Actually, this thing isn't a big problem, especially now that we have the Infinite Expansion Order. It's even simpler. This bit of resistance can be wiped out by the rewards gained from exploring a little wilderness.

But what to say...

Although it's easy to do, the feeling is still disgusting!

Isaac sighed helplessly, glanced silently at the sky, and memorized Yelinos's name. This deep-seated grudge, Isaac Solomon, would remember!

However, compared to him, the Three-Eyed Goblin's anchor point is the real problem...

Isaac dispersed the magic in his right hand, concealing the imaginary runes, and looked down at the ghost-like black-robed wizard protected by his magical shield amidst the chaotic tide of magic.

Wearing a jet-black wizard's robe, with tattered corners fluttering in the wind, unlike Isaac's wizard's robe, hat, and staff—the three-piece wizard's set—the Three-Eyed Goblin only had one wizard's robe after becoming a formal wizard, albeit a hooded one.

Beneath the wizard's robes lay an empty space; hands, feet, torso, and even a head were nowhere to be found!

Instead, a dark magical power, like a black mist, appeared!

Perhaps due to its worship of Isaac, the three-eyed goblin at this time still roughly resembled a human, which can be seen from its humanoid wizard robe.

The only thing on its entire body that could be connected to its original body was the deep green demonic eye floating in the black mist above its head. Compared to the three-eyed goblin that could turn people into living beings, the demonic eye had not changed much. Apart from looking more eerie, its abilities remained the same.

It still involves summoning goblins and soul stealing.

However, the biggest problem with the Three-Eyed Goblin is not its magical eye, but its identity as a dimensional apostle!

As is widely known, the legend tells of how wizards are transformed from mortals into magical beings. In this process, even those who are not mad wizards will gradually be rejected by the world, or rather, drawn in and devoured by the "mystery".

Once you are swallowed by the "mystery," all traces of your existence will completely disappear, and you will even slowly fade from the memories of others.

Therefore, as long as you are a legendary wizard, whether you are a mad wizard or not, you need to establish an anchor point with the real world to reduce the pull of "mystery" on you and enhance your ability to control your own magic.

Compared to normal legendary wizards, the Three-Eyed Goblin has one major advantage and one major disadvantage—it is a Dimensional Apostle!

Its status as a dimensional apostle grants it immortality. Even without a deal with the Outer Gods, many of the legendary wizards' experiments and rituals are extremely dangerous, and this ability gives it an infinite number of chances to start over.

However, the identity of a dimensional apostle also makes the real world reject it as much as a mad witch!

As a formal wizard, it faced almost as much rejection as Isaac, a mad wizard who had already risen to the rank of high wizard. This guy…

For a legendary wizard, this can be described as a disastrous start!

Of course, if we consider their original identity as goblins, this is nothing.

Furthermore, it is now a wizard, and a wizard with a strong research spirit and ability.

Wizards, on the other hand, have almost limitless possibilities!

If it acquires enough knowledge, the identity of a dimensional apostle may only bring it benefits!

Of course, this is only a possibility. Whether the wizard's almost infinite potential can be realized depends on itself.

Before that, Isaac didn't mind giving the hardworking little guy a reward. Isaac looked at the excited yet fearful three-eyed goblin in the magic shield, smiled, and waved his hand gently. Together with the goblin, they transformed into a stream of azure magical light and shot towards the border of the pioneer territory—where Smith and the others were located.

A short while later, Isaac arrived before Smith and the others with the Three-Eyed Goblin. When they saw that Isaac had returned safely, the huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts was lifted. Then, they looked at the strange black mist monster that Isaac had brought over, which resembled a spellcaster.

At first, he was puzzled and stunned, then his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the deep green demonic eye floating in the black mist inside the black mist wizard's head.

This demonic eye...

Could this guy be...

Seeing everyone's eyes widen in surprise, Isaac nodded in satisfaction and said happily, "That's right, just as you all thought. This guy is the Three-Eyed Goblin from before. He has now shed his goblin identity and become a true wizard, a legendary wizard with great potential!"

Upon hearing this, although everyone already had some guesses in their hearts, when Isaac actually said it, they stared blankly at the three-eyed goblin that Isaac was holding in his hand.

How could a mere goblin become a wizard?

What an international joke!

Moreover, it has also gained Lord Isaac's approval, who said it has great potential on the path of legendary wizards.

Is this guy really a goblin?

Isaac was quite satisfied with everyone's shock. He didn't exaggerate at all when it came to the Three-Eyed Goblin, because as a legendary wizard, the Three-Eyed Goblin was indeed very outstanding!

Besides the dimensional apostle's invincible nature and its innate talent for research, the most important thing is that the legendary wizard's path is actually a process of gradually transforming oneself from a mortal into a magical creature, or even a higher magical creature.

That's why so many transformative surgeries are required at the Grand Wizard stage.

Therefore, many legendary wizards are trapped at the stage of the Great Wizard throughout their lives. Firstly, the surgery itself is very difficult. Secondly, the modification surgery alone is not enough. There must also be a strict ritual, and finally, these modified parts must be completely fused together to transform oneself into a completely new high-level magical creature.

This is the advantage of the Three-Eyed Goblin, because this step is completely completed at the formal wizard stage!

Its current form is that of a high-level magical creature with relatively low quantity and quality of magic power!
