This teleportation method has extremely high priority and can ignore all spatial blocking measures and physical interception. There is only one way to block the mysterious disappearance's movement—
To counter this mystery with an even greater mystery!
Furthermore, you must be far superior, on par, or slightly superior to the other party in order to interrupt them, and of course, the other party cannot interrupt you either.
This method is extremely powerful and was once widely recognized in the wizarding world as a signature technique of legendary wizards.
However, as the path of wizardry developed, even exceptionally talented fourth-tier miracle wizards were gradually able to master this technique. Although they could not be as proficient as legendary wizards, they could not use it to fight against legendary wizards who possessed higher levels of mystery.
But once you master this move, you'll be virtually invincible in the fourth tier!
So even though he recognized the methods the other party used, Isaac's expression became even more serious.
Great, the case is solved. If we were just guessing before, Isaac is now almost certain that he helped that human obtain the Staff of Mutation. Now, retrieving the Staff of Mutation is going to be a bit more troublesome...
However, what Isaac didn't know was that while he was wary of the other party, the other party was also wary of him!
There's no other reason than that Isaac's identity as a mad witch is simply too terrifying!
Although Isaac has only just advanced to the fourth rank and took a shortcut, his reputation among legendary wizards is actually greater than that of many legendary wizards!
It all stemmed from his identity as a mad witch!
No, to be precise, it should be his identity as a mad witch from the old era!
This is the scariest thing!
Even among the mad witches of the old era, there are varying degrees of madness. And even compared to those mad witches of the old era who pioneered the path of wizardry, Isaac was among the most insane!
This guy has an insatiable gambling addiction!
Our ancestors embarked on the path of madness because they had no other choice. It was to open a path of light from the darkness, so these were risks they had to take, and they had no choice but to go mad.
But what about Isaac?
Putting aside this kid's noble status, the current wizarding environment is already extremely friendly to wild wizards. With the cabin in the woods and the Truth Society, they have no shortage of access to knowledge or resources. In fact, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not lack opportunities to make money.
It can be said that in the present era, for a legendary wizard, as long as you have a little luck and are patient and steady enough, there is basically no problem in advancing to a high-level wizard, although your combat power may be a little weaker.
But compared to other extraordinary paths, these conditions are extremely favorable.
Not to mention, Isaac was no ordinary person. He was not only of noble birth, but also had an older sister who was a half-step Grand Arcane Mage at the time. Even compared to a proper direct lineage arcane mage apprentice of the Truth Association, let alone a wild wizard, his conditions were quite good.
But even under such favorable conditions, this guy still became a mad witch who made deals with the Outer Gods!
And it's the oldest kind!
This guy probably has some kind of problem...
That's why he was so wary when he met Isaac. This guy was a madman, a madman almost as bad as himself; who knew what he might do? And...
He looked up at the Blood Lord, who was half a body length behind Isaac in the sky, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes. There was no mistake, that was a god!
And he is a true god!
Like that Staff of Aberration, although it is unknown why it is only at the fourth rank, in terms of status, it is indeed a genuine god!
“Isaac Solomon, I apologize for bothering you, but I mean no harm. I’m just here to find my test subject,” Isaac said politely, bowing slightly.
There's no way around it; this guy has mastered the art of stealth, which puts him in an invincible position. There's no need to offend him too much. There's no such thing as being able to guard against a thief for a thousand days if you're a thief yourself.
There's nothing shameful about admitting defeat.
'Experimental subject?' Upon hearing this, the wizard's lips twitched slightly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the Blood Lord behind Isaac, his heart filled with shock!
Has this guy completed his god-making experiment?
And it seems they even successfully completed the enslavement part. How did they do that?
Amidst his shock, the wizard couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity about Isaac's mysterious and sinister knowledge.
However, this curiosity only lasted a moment before he forcefully nipped it in the bud!
Although he was quite interested in the power of the gods and was conducting a lot of research, none of it was as crazy as Isaac's. He wasn't out of his mind and didn't intend to become a mad witch.
Moreover, the god-making experiments that once stumped countless genius wizards are no longer insurmountable obstacles. Even the methods of controlling the gods after their creation are quite sophisticated. For example, some legendary wizarding organizations keep two or three true gods in captivity.
However, none of these things can be done openly. You are a sixth-level wizard, so you can do whatever you want. Let alone creating a god-raising circle, you can even capture a true god and use him as a sex slave, and no one will dare to say a word against it.
However, it is clear that neither Isaac nor he are sixth-order wizards, so they must abide by the covenant between sixth-order wizards and the gods, and are not allowed to privately research the technology related to creating and raising gods.
No wonder he's called the Mad Witch...
He took a deep breath and said, "My name is Jormungandr Noyce. Is the experiment you mentioned a deity?"
"Yes, the Staff of Aberration. Currently, this divine essence should be in the hands of a human, or perhaps a native of this world."
Upon hearing this, Jormungandr sighed. Since things had come to this point, there was no room for reconciliation. He waved his hand, and immediately, a middle-aged man holding a fleshy staff slowly emerged from the void, staring at Isaac with a wary expression.
Yes, it was him!
To Isaac's surprise, this man did not become a god!
He has almost completely mastered the power of divinity, but he has not become a god and still maintains his human identity. This guy... is interesting!
“Is this your research?”
Although it was phrased as a question, Isaac's tone was quite certain. As expected of a master who had reached the level of "mystery" at the fourth tier, he was indeed quite skilled!
Jormungandr noticed the surprise in Isaac's eyes and couldn't help but smile smugly, clearly pleased with Isaac's shock.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know he was your test subject before, so I made some modifications without permission." Although he was apologizing, Isaac could still sense a hint of smugness in his voice.
Of course, only a small amount.
After all, compared to Isaac's creation of gods and enslavement...domination of deities, both in terms of skill and audacity, it is far inferior.
"It's nothing, it's not a big problem, but I'm quite curious, how did you do that? Would you mind sharing?" Isaac said, stroking his chin.
He was genuinely curious. Although this thing was not as technically advanced as his Miracle Domination, and even had the same risk of going out of control as the virtual deity, it had to be said that this technology greatly expanded the strategic significance of Isaac's virtual deity.
He transformed it from a large familiar into a super-powerful weapon that's ready to use right out of the box!
With greatly increased flexibility, and if removing the virtual godhood wouldn't be fatal, then Isaac could start assigning virtual godhoods to his subordinates and friends, which would bring an explosive boost to his power!
Even if they would die from being stripped of their powers, it doesn't matter. They can first give some people with less potential but guaranteed loyalty an [Eternal] virtual godhood, instantly transforming them from weaklings into fourth-tier true gods!
That's absolutely amazing!
pity……
Faced with Isaac's extremely tempting question, Jormungandr did not hesitate at all and shook his head to refuse.
Are you kidding me? Having an academic exchange with a mad witch?
He was afraid that after the conversation, he would also turn into a mad witch!
The main account is playing very well, don't mess with it.
Even without the towering tower, Jormungandr could advance to the fifth rank by cultivating step by step for a few years. With his talent, if he puts in more effort, he might even be able to earn the title of demigod at the fifth rank. Only a madman would become a mad witch.
So he chose to reject Isaac's extremely tempting idea.
However, considering Isaac's exceptional talent, he thought about it and decided not to completely refuse. Academic exchange was out of the question; he had no interest whatsoever in Isaac's sordid knowledge!
However, one-sided guidance is fine, so after thinking for a moment, Jormungandr simply said, "Mysticism, I used the power of mystery."
"Mysterious?" Isaac frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.
A glint of light flickered in his eyes, and the power of [Analysis] wrapped around the Staff of Anomaly, beginning to analyze its data.
Sensing that chilling gaze, the Staff of Aberration tightened its grip and instinctively gripped the fleshy staff, channeling its divine power to try and block out the force within that gaze.
But to his horror, under this gaze, he was unable to mobilize any of the power of the Staff of Mutation!
This is something unprecedented!
It should be noted that even when facing the incredibly powerful Jormungandr, it could only weaken his powerful fourth-tier divine power to the level of a first-tier being!
Who is this guy?
However, the Staff of Aberration quickly realized that only the power of the Staff of Aberration was restricted; his own abilities were not sealed!
Driven by fear, the Staff of Aberration unleashed its own supernatural power—the Mystic Sea!
"Wow~~~"
When the Staff of Distortion activated its power, Isaac, who was analyzing its data, suddenly felt the scenery around him change drastically. The sea breeze blew in his face, and the sound of the waves echoed in his ears. Isaac suddenly realized that he was on a beach!
"This is... a spatial ability? No, there's no ocean in the Wilderness Palace. Illusion? It doesn't seem that simple..." Isaac remained calm, observing his surroundings with interest.
He sensed a mysterious aura in his surroundings!
This should be the unique ability of the Staff of Aberration, and also one of the reasons why it is not assimilated by the virtual godhood.
After taking a few glances inside, Isaac had a general understanding of the effect of this ability: it essentially sent his will into this mysterious space and locked it away. The divinity of the Staff of Distortion was also inside.
Leaving is easy, at least for Isaac.
As the saying goes, mystery will eventually give way to an even greater mystery!
Compared to Jormungandr, Isaac's mysticism is somewhat insignificant, but that's in comparison to Jormungandr. Compared to the Staff of Anomalies, the Staff of Anomalies' mysticism is simply not up to par.
The reason he was affected was because the level of mystery involved in this ability was extremely high when it was activated, which is why Isaac was pulled in without any resistance, but only for that one moment.
Since he can leave at any time, and the Blood Lord is watching over his body outside, he naturally wants to explore this place thoroughly. Perhaps, he can further advance his mastery of the [mystery]?
With a touch of anticipation, Isaac began his exploration of this mysterious sea...
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!
