Unlike the White Whale, Lord of R'lyeh was an ancient, cunning evil god with far more domains of authority. Thus, His void was not filled with Origin Power like the White Whale's, but studded with stars like that of the God of Black Orcs.
Isaac closed his eyes and sensed the information conveyed by the stars. Among these countless stars, he needed to find something that could complete the Dimension World.
Very soon, Isaac locked onto his target.
It was a star that radiated seven-colored light, brimming with a dreamlike aura.
It was inconspicuous among the sky full of stars belonging to Lord of R'lyeh, yet it was exactly what Isaac needed most.
Having found his target, Isaac did not hesitate. He immediately drew upon the ritual's power and began stealing the power of that Seven-Colored Star.
However, the moment Isaac acted, something unexpected happened—he had been exposed!
"...Mortal, I shall now bestow... Hm? Mortal! You seek death!!!"
Unlike the careless Lord of Myriad Flesh and God of Black Orcs, Lord of R'lyeh was highly perceptive. The instant Isaac made his move, He noticed Isaac's little trick, and He was utterly enraged!
Countless bolts of black lightning swept toward him alongside a raging storm!
Yet Isaac's expression did not change. On one hand, he continuously urged Lord of R'lyeh to complete the transaction. He had prepared thoroughly; the success rate was as high as one thousand percent!
That one thousand percent represented the price he had already paid. When Lord of R'lyeh responded to the ritual, it meant He had accepted that payment. Before He broke through the ritual's protection, He had to complete the transaction within a certain period of time, or He would face an extremely severe punishment!
On the other hand, since he had already been exposed, Isaac stopped concealing himself and began brazenly seizing the power of the seven-colored star from the Mysterious Void, confronting Lord of R'lyeh head-on within the Mysterious Void!
The price, however, was that the success rate was rapidly falling.
"Damn mortal! Thief! Was this your true purpose?"
Lord of R'lyeh was furious. Although Isaac's rate of stealing Dream Origin had become incomparably slow with His interference, He was still losing power in the end. That was something He absolutely could not tolerate!
Normally, a mere mortal would find it difficult even to touch Their power, much less seize or steal it. Before they could even touch it, weak mortals would first be warped by the evil gods' force fields.
But Legendary Wizards were different. Times had changed. Present-day Legendary Wizards used the Legendary Gate to trade with Them. Before They could break through the Legendary Gate, all Their power would be blocked outside it, leaving Them able only to watch as the Legendary Wizards acted without restraint.
Originally, the Legendary Gate's power was not supposed to be this strong. After all, these rituals merely drew upon the Legendary Gate's power; they did not truly control the Legendary Gate. There had still been a chance to break through it.
However...
For some reason, the power of the Legendary Gate drawn forth by this tiny mortal was extraordinarily powerful!
Forget stopping him—He felt that if He did not complete the transaction soon, the punishment would descend upon Him!
Fuck!
Where was the promised fairness and justice?
Was this fucking fair?
Was the Supreme Law blind?
This guy was definitely cheating!!
Lord of R'lyeh was exceptionally furious, but There was nothing He could do. Whether it was the owner of the Legendary Gate or the Supreme Law, He had no way to deal with either of Them.
Well, that was already giving Himself too much credit. The truth was that if either of those two beings wished it, They could erase Him at any time...
After a while, Lord of R'lyeh, having vented His anger, helplessly realized that He had no way to deal with Isaac...
More than half of the Legendary Gate's power remained. To affect Isaac, He would need to weaken its current power by at least another eighty percent!
Even then, it was only possible that He might affect him, not certain.
And the harsher reality was that He had run out of time. He had to complete the transaction.
Unless Isaac continued stealing His power after the transaction was complete...
At that thought, Lord of R'lyeh gradually calmed His anger. While obstructing Isaac in the void world, He recorded the method of stealing Dimension Magic Power in a Magic Book.
He had realized that He would most likely be unable to affect Isaac before the ritual ended. Thus, He decided to screw Isaac over—He had swapped the concepts in the transaction!
What Isaac wanted was knowledge of extracting magic power from dimensions, while what He provided was knowledge of stealing Dimension Magic Power.
The two were very similar, but only similar. In truth, they were not the same. The former was lawful utilization, while the latter...
Was also lawful utilization, except it came with a tiny little side effect.
If used too often, one would become a servant of a Dimension Demon God!
Dimension Demon Gods were more generous than evil gods like Them!
Naturally, They also demanded a far heavier price!
No matter what, He was definitely going to screw Isaac over! He said so! Even the God of Light would not be able to stop Him!
Very soon, as the final Demon God Script entered the Magic Book before Isaac, the transaction was officially complete.
Unfortunately, under Lord of R'lyeh's expectant gaze, Isaac did not remain in the Mysterious Void. Instead, he decisively stopped, taking the Seven-Colored Star's power with him and directly ending the ritual.
After all, the success rate had already fallen to five hundred and thirty-two percent. Continuing would be dangerous.

Lord of R'lyeh: ...
No, bro, you were so bold when you robbed me, but there's still half the Legendary Gate's power left and you're already running? How did you manage to be both bold and cowardly?
Watching the place where Isaac had departed, Lord of R'lyeh's slowly vanishing eyes flickered. Amid His surprise, He understood one thing—Legendary Wizards were about to become great once more!
So the question was, should He ride this wave and, like His old friends, ascend to godhood again in the identity of a Legendary Wizard?
Should He gamble?
In the pitch-black depths of the sea, a pair of enormous crimson eyes slowly opened. Across countless worlds, He looked toward the world where Isaac was located. A moment later, He closed His eyes again and continued sleeping.
Forget it. Better not run. Gamblers never end well, and it was not as if none of His old friends who fled there had been eaten by Him. Better sleep first.
The deep sea returned to tranquility.
"Whew~ That was close. I actually got discovered."
Elsewhere, after ending the ritual, Isaac let out a lingering sigh of relief. He had not expected Lord of R'lyeh to be so experienced. He had been discovered the instant he made his move, which meant he had not managed to steal much.
Still, it was fine. His big profit had merely become a small profit; he was still not at a loss.
Isaac raised his hand and looked at the seven-colored radiance appearing in his palm, a smile rising on his face.
Dream Origin came from the Dream Dimension painstakingly created by Lord of R'lyeh. It was the Dream Dimension's most core power, the foundation of everything within it!
The Dream Dimension, meanwhile, was a power Lord of R'lyeh had newly mastered. However, this dimension was still weak, so He remained an evil god rather than a Dimension Demon God.
Of course, what delighted Isaac most was that Lord of R'lyeh's ritual still had an astonishing ten percent success rate!
