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

Chapter 89 Experiment Failure

Even though they are now on opposing sides, Isaac has to admit that Philo's idea is truly ingenious!

The established divine network is extracted and transplanted into a colossal alchemical golem. A magical ritual is then used to accelerate the fusion of the divine network and the golem. In this way, an exceptionally powerful deity can be created in the shortest possible time!

The most difficult part of the entire experiment was extracting the divine network and fusing it with the colossus. Isaac has observed this so far and still can't figure out how it was done. He can only guess that it was either forbidden knowledge traded from the Outer Gods or her innate witchcraft.

Of course, it's also possible that both are true, for example, his incredible sorcery, the Flesh Nest, was obtained through a deal with Outer Gods.

If he can do it, others can too.

Once you understand one thing, you understand everything; so if others can do it, he can naturally do it too!

Let's take a good look at it first. If it seems reliable, we'll take it back, disassemble it, and he can build one himself when he gets back!

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, the divine network extracted from the rat slowly merged into the giant golem. Then the ritual began, and the golden network started to spread downwards from the top of the golem's head.

Seeing this, Philo was excited, Hitz looked serious, Mensa was indifferent, and Isaac sighed.

Failed.

He has worked on nearly a hundred divine networks to date, and since they were mostly successful due to the power of his cheat system, he has seen too many instances of divine networks failing to unfold. The current progress seems to be going smoothly, but judging from the size of the colossus, the divine network will likely get stuck around the nose.

Because the power of faith is insufficient.

Although Philo somehow obtained a batch of faith power, she clearly overlooked the issue of attrition. The faith power of a god has an object; faith power that is not one's own will either suffer huge losses or cause mental confusion.

This is also one of the reasons why Isaac speculated that the historically recorded creation of a god eventually went out of control.

Although legend has it that wizards also need the power of faith, this is completely different from the power of faith in gods.

The simplest example is that believers in one god cannot coexist. Once you become a believer in another god, you cannot become a believer in another god. Only one faith can exist at a time.

But legend has it that wizards have different beliefs. After reading this book, you can immediately read the next one. If you can multitask, reading two books at the same time can also provide the power of faith.

Therefore, the faith power that Isaac usually uses to modify the divine network is obtained by hypnotizing rats. It is of lower quality, but stronger than heterogeneous power.

Therefore, upon seeing this step, Isaac already knew the outcome.

So he waved his hand, and the giant rats that had been watching the show rushed toward the giant statue!

The greatsword demons then returned in an orderly fashion to the flesh dimension behind him, first turning into minced meat, then into blood, and finally into pure magic stored in the flesh nest.

"Hey! What are you doing! We're almost there!" Philo, who was excitedly looking at the giant statue, suddenly noticed the movement of the giant rat swarm and immediately scolded Isaac.

Isaac rolled his eyes: "First, I didn't call you 'Hey,' and second, you'd never succeed."

He didn't explain much, but simply continued to let more giant rats swarm toward the colossus.

As a mere spectator, Hitz wasn't as angry as Philo. He watched with great interest as the giant horned rats surged toward the colossus like a tidal wave. He was curious how these little creatures would deal with such a tall and enormous colossus.

This colossus is no ordinary object. The main body of the statue is made of Harris Goat Steel, a type of steel forged from the flesh and blood of monsters, which is quite expensive.

While the weapons and armor made from this stuff aren't very strong, they possess excellent magical energy conduction properties and even have a slight growth potential. Most importantly, Harris goats can be raised in captivity. However, although their production is large, they mainly flow to the military, so this material is very expensive on the civilian market.

It's only because Filo is the eldest princess that even some great arcane mages couldn't obtain such a large quantity.

However, while Harris Goat Steel's strength is only average, that's in its normal form. When it's enhanced with magic,

That's another matter entirely; otherwise, it wouldn't have been used as a primary material for military equipment.

Then, Hitz fell silent.

One by one, rats climbed up the golem's single leg, gnawing as they went.

Needless to say, with their claws and teeth, they couldn't possibly bite through it. Let alone the enhanced goat steel, even before the enhancement, they couldn't bite through it even if they chewed their teeth to pieces!

However, Hitz was surprised to discover that they could absorb the magic power of the goat!

A single giant horned rat may not absorb much, but what about ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million?

The giant rats kept rushing forward, biting off pieces of the colossus's magic!

Normally, even though the colossus itself was not successfully forged, it still possesses certain defensive mechanisms, making it impossible for ordinary monsters to get close so easily.

But who can blame them when the colossus is at a critical juncture?

All defensive measures have come to a standstill, leaving us completely at the mercy of the rats!

Philo was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth!

The most terrifying thing in the world is to give her hope, only to extinguish it with your own hands!

"Alright, stop yelling." Mensa shook his finger helplessly, silencing Philo, and then said, "Isaac is right, this experiment has failed. As for why it failed, unfortunately, you are destined never to know. Don't complain. You are only alive now because you are the eldest princess, which is already very lucky."

After saying that, Mensa looked at Isaac with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Without a doubt, Isaac is a genius!

She's also a research genius, a perfect match for them, the arcanists!

Unfortunately, Isaac was a mad witch, the most insane kind at that, otherwise he really wanted to take on a student. What a pity.

Mensa looked at Isaac, shaking his head with a mix of regret and complex emotions. On one hand, he hoped Isaac could survive and fully utilize his talent, perhaps even becoming a great wizard in the future. But on the other hand…

Because of the mad witch's erratic nature, he didn't want Isaac to grow up.

Of course, the most regrettable thing is that Isaac has two things stolen from the Outer Gods. Once he is killed, the things inside him will instantly become the anchor point for the Outer Gods to descend, and the Empire will suffer even greater losses!

All mad witches, at their best, die at the hands of the Outer Gods.

Of course, the main reason he wasn't killed was because his surname was Solomon, which had too much influence.

"boom!"

Soon, amidst the silence of the crowd, the magical radiance on the hundred-meter-tall colossus gradually dimmed. Without the enhancement of magic, its single leg could no longer support such a massive body, and it collapsed with a crash!
