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

Chapter 86 The Chaotic Situation

"Didn't even buy him a little time? Really—" In the center of the town, Philo, holding a mouse in his hand, stood in front of a huge magic circle and sighed. Then he said to Remington, who should have been in another dimension behind him, "Go and stall for time. After all, you're his older brother. He shouldn't be crazy enough to kill you yet."

"..."

Remington's eyes held a complex expression, and he hesitated.

"Heh~ What are you hesitating about? You still expect to be brothers with him?" Philo chuckled disdainfully, shaking the mouse in his hand. "Don't forget, you're the one who brought this little guy to me."

"Sigh~" Upon hearing this, Remington sighed deeply and turned to walk heavily toward Isaac.

Philo scoffed at Remington's retreating figure, then looked at the magic circle in front of her with a hint of excitement.

"Angel has failed. Are you sure you still want to be enemies with that madman? I smelled a strong Outer God aura on him, and that madman has bought at least three kinds of Outer God trading ritual materials recently!" Philo said softly, a tentacle extending from his shoulder.

"It's just making deals with Outer Gods, haven't I done that too?"

"How can that be the same? You're making a transaction, he's robbing!"

...

Philo choked for a moment, then said somewhat guiltily, "It's just a mouse, it can't be that serious, can it?"

"First of all, this is clearly not an ordinary rat. Secondly, you're plotting against him. Finally, and most importantly, you can't kill him." The mechanical tentacle spoke in the calmest words, expressing Philo's deepest frustration.

Regardless of how insane Isaac was, or whether Angel was killed or not, none of that mattered to Philo as much as this last point.

What's wrong with a mad witch? What's wrong with a genius?

What's the use of this?

In this world, only the strong deserve our respect!

Genius? Survival is what counts!

Unfortunately—Isaac was one of those people you couldn't kill.

He was different from Angel. Even if Angel failed, she had high-ranking knights stationed in the town of Phyllis to clean up the mess. She had already arranged everything.

But Isaac is different. Behind Isaac is the Solomon family, a powerful border noble family with two high knights, a grand arcane mage who is currently at the general level, three thousand regular knights, and two thousand vassal legions!

Kill him—no, the high knights stationed in Phyllis Town wouldn't let her do it. He wasn't like those useless people she ordered around. If he died, the Solomon family would go mad. The price was something even the royal family couldn't afford, let alone her!

If they were to develop rebellious intentions because of this, it would be a catastrophic blow to the empire!

The Empire's high-ranking knights are not few, but they are not many either. More importantly, if the Solomon family rebels, the difference between gaining and losing six high-ranking knights—and if they also take some nobles with them, the losses will be even greater.

So Isaac absolutely cannot die, at least not here!

so··-·

"So what?" Looking at the magic circle taking shape before her, Philo's lips curled into a wild smile. "As long as I kill him, it's not a big problem!"

"Is it really that small?" The tentacle glanced at Philo with a sinister look.

"If I'm not as skilled as someone my age, is there a problem?"

The magic circle in front of Philo shone even brighter, and the madness in her eyes rose accordingly.

"It's not a problem, since you don't have the right to inherit the empire anyway."

"Yes, I have no right to the inheritance, so is there a problem if I kill Isaac? No problem!"

After saying that, Philo gave a cold laugh and threw the rat in her hand into the magic circle.

"boom!"

Before the rat even landed, a huge, bizarre golem with seven arms, six eyes, five heads, four corners, three mouths, two bodies, and one leg rose from the magic circle. The rat was then enveloped by a strange force field and lifted up by the seven arms, rising with it!

Before long, a colossal golem, hundreds of meters tall, stood in the center of the town of Phyllis!

Meanwhile, Isaac also eliminated the last enemy trial participant, thus ending this inexplicable Genie's Lamp Trial!

Three golden beams descended from the great lamp in the sky. One landed in the center of the town, beside Philo, while the other two landed on the edge of the town, beside Isaac and Angel.

"Huh?" Isaac hadn't even had a chance to check his loot or the giant statue that had appeared in the center of town.

He was surprised to find that Angel's golden light was actually nearby. Without even checking, he...

He focused intently on the direction from which the golden light fell.

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Isaac. I think we now have a common enemy and a common goal." Angel slowly emerged from the shadows, holding a spellbook in her hands, and said with a smile.

Isaac narrowed his eyes as he looked at Angel's unharmed leg and said, "It seems you have many stories to tell. But don't you have the Book of History? Why do you need to cooperate with me?"

After saying that, Isaac glanced at the spellbook in her hand.

"It's precisely because I possess the Book of Time that I've come to collaborate with you~" Angel tilted her head and said playfully.

Isaac paused for a moment, then realized, so this means—this is a guide to the future?

"That's fine, but I don't trust you."

Angel nodded: "Of course, so I'll tell you what Philo wants to do."

"Oh? Is that so?" Isaac raised an eyebrow. It was exactly what he needed. Because of Philo's status, he couldn't kill her, at least not now, and he couldn't do it anyway. The high-ranking knights stationed in the town of Philis wouldn't let him do that.

But who says revenge has to involve killing someone?

"What does she want to do?"

"Creating a god!"

"? A divine species? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be... a god?" After saying that, Isaac fell silent for a moment.

Because this is too crazy.

Although gods and gods are only one word apart and have a very deep connection, they are actually worlds apart!

For example, even though Isaac equipped the Divine Rat with the Bone God Technique, its combat power was still as weak as trash. It could only bully ordinary people to a little. Once it faced a superhuman, as long as the opponent was not careless, the Rat would be instantly killed.

And what about the gods?

If there were no restrictions from the main world, he could instantly kill high-ranking knights and high-ranking wizards with a flick of his finger!

The two are not even in the same dimension!

That's why Isaac fell silent after he finished speaking; it was too outrageous, too insane, and too much like something a mad witch would do.

In the end, Angel nodded gently, shattering Isaac's last illusion.

"Does she... want to destroy this country?" Isaac said, somewhat speechless.

Creating gods is one of the things wizards are most passionate about.

It has nothing to do with strength.

For example, the creator of Isaac's manuscript was a weak person with limited abilities, but he was still incredibly passionate about it and eventually studied the divine species, trying to glimpse the power of the gods from them.

However, not all wizards who studied deities were weak. Isaac alone witnessed seven recorded experiments by wizards attempting to create deities, six of which failed. The only successful attempt failed because the deity escaped.

He became an evil god and almost severed the lineage of wizards at that time.

Fortunately, a powerful figure who had been sleeping was eventually awakened and sealed away, which allowed the wizarding tradition to continue.

So, the most important thing about this experiment is not whether it can succeed, but whether it can be controlled!

"Perhaps," Angel smiled slightly. Who knew what these mad witches were thinking? "I only know..."

She has a chance of succeeding. Do you know what her innate magical talent is?

"Devour, plunder?"

Angel looked surprised: "How did you know?"

"I'm guessing, otherwise I can't think of any reason for you to betray her." Isaac shrugged, then said, "I think you could say something soon, she seems to be starting soon."

Isaac narrowed his eyes as he watched the colossus gradually glow with magical circuits.

Angel looked helpless. Yes, if it weren't for that, why would she have betrayed the eldest princess? After all, she had been so good to her.

"Then I'll make it short. I don't know the specific magical effects, but I do know that this magic has complicated conditions. First, it requires plundering three at the same time, so you need to prepare three materials. Second, they must be corpses. Third, it cannot be used on yourself."

"Hmm, hmm?" Isaac looked at Angel with surprise. "Can't it be used on yourself?"

"I was also puzzled, but this is the insight I gained from the future."

"Revelation? If you modify the past, you'll also erase your own memories?" Isaac asked curiously. "Yes, modifying the recent past won't have any effect, but if it's been a long time, I won't remember it myself. But I can give hints so that people in the past know that the 'past' has been modified. Besides these three points, there are many other conditions, and that's why I've been alive until now."

"It's a bit convoluted, but I roughly understand. In short, according to you, she wants to sacrifice me, you, and another person to transform that big guy into a true god?"

"Yes, but the third one isn't human, it's your mouse. You shouldn't have left it alone," Angel said with a hint of helplessness.

She had wanted to remind Isaac when she was planning the plan, but the closer it got to the plan, the more thorough Philo's surveillance of her became, and she couldn't find an opportunity to speak up.

Upon hearing this, Isaac simply nodded. He was now somewhat certain that Angel's historical records did not actually know everything.

However, he didn't believe Angel's words too much, for example, the idea about the sacrifice was quite far-fetched.

Three offerings, two of which were hastily put together. If Isaac hadn't come, would Philo have never used this magic again?

Is it possible to never start a plan to create a god?

Of course, you could say you changed your mind on the spot, but if the conditions are complicated, how could you just change them like that?

But at least Isaac confirmed one thing: that big guy was very important to Philo!

Isaac looked up at the hundred-meter-tall colossal statue, slowly opened his arms, and revealed a carefree smile!

Alright, let's start disassembling!
