Chapter 581: Chapter 407: Evil God: Oh, Great Isaac, Please Grant Me Power

Isaac had once considered several possibilities, but looking at Caesar’s experiences, he was now almost certain it was all about romantic entanglements.

’The perks of being a protagonist, honestly.’

Besides, it wasn’t as if he was short one Virtual Deity.

After getting his father settled, Isaac summoned Maxu Kant, from whom he learned about the current state of the War. He relaxed slightly afterward.

Overall, the fighting had indeed escalated. Even in the Main World, Tier Four powerhouses were frequently making their moves.

But there was no longer any need to worry.

Because just a moment ago, two Demigod Mages had appeared simultaneously on the main three-faction battlefield in the Main World. They had forcibly halted all fighting and ordered the three factions to gather their armies and experts to decide the ultimate victor in a Little World on an appointed day.

This was a common practice for most powers in the current era to avoid large-scale conflict. The only difference was that, in the past, they would only consider this option after a truly heated battle had left them with devastating losses.

Now, however, the two sides had clearly not reached that point. The conflict had barely begun before the Demigod Mages forcibly intervened, preparing to bring the matter to a definitive end.

This made Isaac even more curious. ’The Emperor... That guy can’t possibly be coming back, can he?’

Otherwise, even with a prior promise, the Demigod Mages wouldn’t have gone to such lengths. After all, the Orc Empire had Demigods of its own; it was just that their power couldn’t possibly compare to the Emperor’s.

When the Emperor was alive, he could have taken on the two opposing Demigods with one hand and thrashed them.

This was also a major reason why the Terra Empire had fallen into such a panic after the prophecy of the Emperor’s fated death emerged. It also explained why, after the Emperor died, the vast Empire instantly fell apart, even though one Demigod remained to guard it.

The Empire rose and fell with the Emperor.

Unfortunately, Isaac was currently just a humble Tier Four Mage. Even if there was something fishy going on, he wasn’t qualified to get involved. So, Isaac didn’t dwell on it.

At the moment, his thoughts turned to the upcoming War in the Little World. ’Should I get involved? No, to be precise, the question is which side I should choose.’

’Of course I have to participate. The Little World chosen for the battlefield was handpicked by the Demigod Mages; everything inside would be incredibly appealing to me.’

’More importantly, since it’s been chosen as a battlefield, that means I can go wild in there without any repercussions!’

’It would be a huge waste not to go!’

He had two factions to choose from. The first, naturally, was his family. He still carried the Solomon name, after all. And because his rise through the ranks had been so swift, most people thought of him as the "Mad Witch" first. But anyone who dug a little deeper would learn of his Solomon origins and connect the two.

This set him apart from other Tier Four Mages, particularly other Tier Four Mad Witches. By the time most Mad Witches reached Tier Four, they wouldn’t have a single friend left, let alone family.

But Isaac was different. He had a whole family!

So if he joined the War under the Solomon banner, no one could say a word.

Besides his family, he could also choose to side with the Terra Royal Family. Yes, even though he had just fought the Eldest Prince, the doors to Terra were still open to him.

This time, it wouldn’t be through his connection to Philo, but because Isaac himself was still a member of the Terra Kingdom’s Nobility!

That’s right. Strictly speaking, Isaac was currently a Baron of the Terra Kingdom.

Originally, Isaac’s title of Baron had been granted by the Solomon family. He was first a Baron of Solomon, and by extension, a Baron of the Terra Kingdom. But all that changed with the appearance of the Great Creation known as the Endless Sea.

At the time, a Water Tornado connecting to the Endless Sea had appeared over his relatively small territory. The "thing" possessed immense strategic value, so the territory was reclaimed during negotiations between Terra and the Solomons.

As compensation, he received a Pioneer Order, which would allow him to have his noble title re-evaluated based on the size of the Pioneer Territory he claimed. The highest rank he could achieve was Count.

It was just that Isaac found the whole process too troublesome, so he simply secured the rank of Baron and left it at that.

But he had, in fact, become a Baron of Terra.

During the previous schism, Isaac’s territory was an exclave. Normally, a noble in such a position would choose to break away from Terra and join the nearest alliance of Nobility for protection.

But...

...with Isaac’s power, he obviously had no need for that, and no one dared force him to do so. As a result, Isaac remains a Baron of Terra to this day. And while he has hardly fulfilled any of the associated duties, the current Terra Kingdom clearly doesn’t care much about such things.

’Thinking about it now, perhaps reclaiming that territory in exchange for giving me a Pioneer Order was part of Terra’s plan all along. I just don’t see the point of maintaining this fragile connection.’

But that wasn’t important. What mattered was that Isaac could join on behalf of either faction without needing to fight for either side’s victory. Therefore, all he had to consider was which side offered more benefits and greater freedom of action...

After weighing his options for a moment, Isaac sighed. ’It seems pointless to even weigh them...’

’The Terra Royal Family isn’t stupid. Even if they offer rewards, you’ll have to earn them. They won’t just hand them out for free. But I obviously can’t help Terra fight my own family. Fighting Orcs, on the other hand, is perfectly fine.’
