Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

"Boom~"

As the terrifying face formed from gray flames descended, the will of the Black Orc God came into being. Looking at Isaac standing before the ceremony, the Black Orc God grinned excitedly. After many years, another fool had finally taken the bait!

Although many new and old legendary wizards trade with these beings every year, there are simply too many Outer Gods. On average, one Outer God wouldn't even get a share of a Mad Wizard's share.

And for someone like Him who left a huge backdoor in the ritual, there are naturally even fewer fools to catch.

But now it's finally His turn, how wonderful!

"Hiss~"

The God of the Black Orcs took a deep breath of the gray flame. Although this amount of energy could not bring him any improvement, smelling it occasionally was good for his physical and mental health!

One word!

Comfortable!

Very good, it's decided. When we eat this guy's soul later, we'll be quick and make it less painful for him!

Soon, the pleased Black Orc God decided on how to deal with Isaac.

So, while secretly breaking the power that shielded him from the ritual, he asked Isaac, "Wizard, state your wish? I can grant all your desires!"

This is a lie.

Isaac subconsciously pulled his hood up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He was not fooled by the Black Orc God; this is a classic Outer God lie.

This is not to say that the God of the Black Orcs cannot do it. Given the difference in their strength, the God of the Black Orcs might actually be able to grant Isaac many of his unrealistic wishes, but that statement is a trap.

If Isaac agrees, then the God of the Black Orcs will be able to directly take Isaac's soul!

No amount of protection will help!

But this was already a known lie, and the allure of its words was completely blocked by the firewall of the ritual, so Isaac naturally wouldn't agree.

He performed an ancient wizard's ritual, then said softly, "Great God of the Black Orcs, who rules over night and beasts, I have only one question to ask you: why are there so many high priests among the Black Orcs in the wilderness?"

"...This question...is difficult to answer..."

This is a lie.

Isaac's lips curled up slightly again. Sure enough, the God of the Black Orcs and the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, although one is an evil god and the other is a demon god, are the same kind of people. They are used to being perfunctory on the surface and then secretly doing dirty tricks behind the scenes!

he tui!

Isaac spat disdainfully at the Black Orc God in his heart, but he didn't sit still. He immediately manipulated the power of the ritual to quietly invade the Black Orc God's domain.

"However... as a reward for you, I can make an exception~ This answer involves a rather special entity, so it will take a little longer. Please bear with it~ You can also think about whether there's anything else you need. I will do my best to fulfill your wish!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Isaac glanced at the steadily declining percentage figures on the ceremony table, which only he could see, his face remaining impassive, but inwardly he smiled disdainfully.

He's a hypocrite, spouting empty words while secretly plotting against others. He's utterly despicable!

Luckily, I did it too!

Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, and in his vision appeared a black night sky, with twinkling stars surrounding three huge moons!

Perhaps it was the second time the ceremony had been held, so they were more familiar with it, or perhaps it was the difference between an evil god and a demon god.

In short, compared to the last time when he just grabbed something without really knowing what it was, this time Isaac was able to "see" much more.

The three enormous moons in the night sky represent the power of the Black Orc God, symbolizing the night, monsters, and stars respectively.

Yes, although He is called the God of the Black Orcs and is worshipped by almost all Black Orcs, the term "Black Orc" does not exist in His powers. Isaac is not sure why. It may be an imposter, or it may be that this world does not actually have such powers or divine authority as race. He currently lacks knowledge in this area.

But it doesn't matter, it won't affect Isaac's actions.

The three moons are undoubtedly the most important thing to the Black Orc God, and also His most valuable possession, but this is not Isaac's goal, because he is still just a formal wizard, and even with the blessing of the ritual, he cannot seize the core power of the Outer God, such as the Power.

This is different from dimensional demons. Although dimensions are also the most important power of demons, they are actually too vast. Basically, no demon would devote all its energy to its entire dimensional world at all times.

That's why he was able to seize the dimensional seed under the cover of the ritual, and this was only because the dimensional seed he seized wasn't that large, which is why he was able to succeed.

However, if the target were changed to the power of the Black Orc God, this attempt would definitely fail. Even if it succeeded, he was only a formal wizard and couldn't use the power at all, since he wasn't a god.

Therefore, Isaac's goal is the stars around the moon—that is, forbidden knowledge!

This thing is not only easy to carry, but you can also use it yourself.

In fact, this is the goal of most mad witches. Very few mad witches set their sights on powers or dimensions, as they would consider that too insane.

Thus, the Black Orc God delayed the transmission of intelligence and secretly breached the firewall of Isaac's ritual. Meanwhile, Isaac pretended to ponder his subsequent wishes while secretly "taking" things from the Black Orc God's domain.

Of course, he would also keep a close eye on the percentages in the ritual. Once it exceeded half, he would immediately stop the ritual, regardless of whether the Black Orc God had given him any information or not!

At worst, we can just get another Outer God; either way, we won't lose out.

Fortunately, the God of the Black Orcs didn't overdo it. When the percentage was down to 600%, the relevant information was transmitted, and a beast-hide book exuding an evil aura floated quietly above the ritual.

"That's all the information I have. I've also given you some targeted spells. Now, tell me your next wish."

After hearing the words of the Black Orc God, Isaac blinked his eyes under his hat. How did things get better?

He only got three "stars"...

However, having achieved his goal and used up a considerable amount of mats, there was not much left to do with the remaining mats. So Isaac decisively stopped and interrupted the ritual!

"Um?"

Although Isaac acted quickly, the God of the Black Orcs still sensed it in advance. As the inviter of the ritual, He could not stop Isaac, the officiant, from closing the ritual, but He still had a trump card!

We can take a gamble!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Black Orc God's eyes widened, and a powerful force surged forth, cutting through the void and bound by the rules of the world!

The terrifying power of the evil god stirred up gusts of wind, and the ashes on the ritual surface boiled wildly!

The progress bar in Isaac's eyes also plummeted instantly... to eighty percent...

Then, the ceremony ended.

The gray flames completely dissipated under the unwilling gaze of the Black Orc God.

"Phew~ That was close~ Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest~" Isaac wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, looking with satisfaction at the fading success rate of only 523%.

I was right to say we should play it safe, wasn't I?
