The collection of ritual materials went very smoothly, because this time, the target was once again our old friend, the Master of Billions of Flesh.
That's right, it was him again!
It wasn't that Isaac was determined to fleece the same sheep, but mainly that the ritual materials and catalysts for this guy were just too easy to get. Even without Francis's Life Derivation Technique—a treasure that could convert living beings into Artificial Humans—the Demon Flesh from the Underground Palace alone was more than enough. After setting aside the edible portions, and even with the ritual having been upgraded to Tier Four, there was still enough left over for him to perform it twice!
Other Outer Gods, even Demon Monarchs who only required souls, needed time to produce Soul Crystals. None were as convenient as the Master of Billions of Flesh.
