Dumbledore has been very busy lately.
He only recently came to understand the true nature of power and the past relationships among overseas Chinese.
The greatest power has always been in his hands.
There are reasons why the Wizarding World adopts a loosely autonomous council and has not expanded into the Muggle World.
The Ministry of Magic can only control wizards who don't study hard and have low magical skills.
Skilled wizards can solve all their problems with magic, not to mention Pure-blood families have very useful slaves – House-elf.
In addition, the Wizarding World has a small population; for example, the British Wizarding World has only a few thousand people in total.
The Muggle World is larger than the individual because no matter how brave an individual Muggle is, they are still as small and fragile as an ant in the face of the violence of an organization.
Organizations are the greatest form of violence, and those who possess this violence do not need to be physically strong; people like Fudge are more suited to it.
But the Wizarding World is different. The difference in individual strength between wizards is so great that it can erase the gap between individuals and the collective.
What's even more terrifying is that the power belongs to oneself, unlike an organization, so there's no need to worry about betrayal or bother to bribe it.
While the Wizarding World may seem to be dominated by the Ministry of Magic, a closer look at the A History of Magic reveals that magic itself is power.
The Ministry of Magic exists because skilled wizards value order, and there are other equally skilled wizards to check and balance it.
Just as Voldemort could have run rampant in this world without him.
And now he is experiencing the duality of this power.
On the one hand, after he directly crushed the entire Ministry of Magic with his personal violence, no one dared to disobey his orders.
On the other hand, the individuals he ruled also possessed considerable violence.
If he were Voldemort, he wouldn't be bound by sentiment or morality; he could freely dictate everything according to his own will.
But he wasn't; he was the greatest White Wizard, the Minister for British Ministry of Magic, and the Hogwarts Headmaster.
He was completely overwhelmed by the wizards who somehow managed to get to Hogwarts and wanted to meet the four Champion.
Most of the Ministry of Magic's employees are capable of handling their work, but their magical abilities have long since been neglected in the peaceful routines of daily life.
Trying to control the elite wizards who come from all over the world and manage to sneak into Hogwarts is practically a pipe dream.
The unfamiliar spells and unique fighting style alone were enough to give them a run for their money.
Fortunately, after the trials and exchanges, the four Champion' combat power is already among the top in this world. Even he only has more experience.
Furthermore, they can transform into magical spirits, so there's no need to worry about dying, and they are protected by Heroic Spirits.
Otherwise, he was really worried that some madman might harm them.
He no longer takes Voldemort seriously.
Even Voldemort, who could use more powerful spells like the Chain Killing Curse during the trials, was no match for Harry and his friends.
His problem was how to find time amidst the school administration and dealing with the unavoidable chores of visiting wizards at Hogwarts to think about how to help his sister's contractor, Phoebe, defeat the other three.
He was already feeling the urge to use the Time-Turner.
"Minerva, tell me, how can I help Phoebe unlock the power of the Magic Immortal Artifact?"
"To cultivate a relationship between her and Ariana?"
Taking a break from his busy schedule, Dumbledore drank a calming potion and mustered his strength to discuss countermeasures with McGonagall.
McGonagall was completely baffled and had no way to deal with it.
Dumbledore sighed helplessly.
He hadn't been idle these past few days; he had consulted the information downloaded from the treasure book within the Phoebe Magic Immortal Artifact.
The advantage of the Phoebe humanoid fairy is the forced release of the Magic Immortal Artifact. This shortcut for the Dark Magic Fairy to release the Magic Immortal Artifact actually takes quite a while.
It is called a shortcut because it takes about six or seven years for most magical fairies to achieve initial liberation.
Furthermore, since all four Champion have learned the Dark Magic Fairy's "Path," they can all use this method.
Phoebe's only advantage has also vanished.
Furthermore, although the four Champion are transformed from heroic Heroic Spirits by the Magic Immortal Artifact, and since Heroic Spirits can now leave their 'original bodies'—they can directly communicate with the Champion and inform them of the [Liberation Phrase].
However, the Champion also face the challenge of adapting to and integrating the power of the Magic Immortal Artifact with their own abilities.
Even in that magical world, the Champion's situation was quite unique.
The Magic Immortal Artifact are not entirely silhouettes of themselves, but rather products of their combination with Heroic Spirits.
Therefore, even now that we know that the "Liberation Phrase" refers to Phoebe, it can be liberated.
But that doesn't mean she caught up with the others.
This is without considering the items they exchange at the store.
Krum can be directly and permanently liberated without the need for Liberation Phrase.
The ability is simple and brutal: to create another version of yourself.
Even more terrifying, according to his secret observations, the [Magical Circuit] that Krum exchanged was also manifested in the other body he created.
Harry and Cedric, however, are a different case.
Their powers are very similar to those of their Magic Immortal Artifact.
In fact, you can tell from the fact that Harry was the first to be freed during the match, while Cedric was freed automatically.
The power they extracted from the Magic Immortal Artifact was incomparable to the power that Phoebe extracted from Magic Immortal Artifact.
Harry could understand, after all, Lily and Harry were mother and son, and Harry had been working with the Love Charm for over a decade.
But Cedric, he couldn't understand at all where he and Tom were similar.
Is it because Tom added the "snake" property to his magic?
But the synergy between Tom and Cedric's powers was already evident before the exchange.
Seeing Dumbledore's furrowed brow, McGonagall offered another suggestion, "How about we continue training him at the original pace?"
"Or perhaps we could develop a targeted plan based on the benevolent aspects that Phoebe has added to her magic?"
Dumbledore shook his head. "The Magic Immortal Artifact are creations of the Guna La God."
"Even if we do as you say, Phoebe will make great progress."
"But other Champion can make greater progress by studying Magic Immortal Artifact."
At this point, he began to recall scenes from the liberation of Phoebe.
The phoenix's magic, beyond his imagination, condensed into enormous fiery wings behind her.
All of Phoenix's abilities were better manifested in her.
Rebirth from Fire, teleportation that defies magical limitations, an exhilarating sound, and a lightness that allows oneself and anything one touches to defy gravity.
And Cedric and his team will only become stronger.
The mission only revealed the tip of the iceberg: Harry's defense that could deflect the Killing Curse, and Cedric's seemingly inconspicuous chains wrapped in full armor that could devour the Killing Curse, were already terrifying.
Cedric, in particular, clearly has full armor as his main feature, and the totem composed of interwoven green and gold patterns on it obviously contains more mysteries.
Phoebe, on the other hand, simply transformed into an enhanced version of a human-shaped phoenix.
Furthermore, although the good aspect she added to her magic was remarkable, given the success of Balala, she didn't consider it a good choice.
Learning from Tom and considering compatibility is the best choice.
Whether you choose the [Fairy] to suit yourself or the [Phoenix] to suit the Magic Immortal Artifact, both are better.
The latter, in particular, would allow them to close the gap with the other three Champion in terms of Magic Immortal Artifact.
What a pity.
Seeing Dumbledore's brow furrow even more, McGonagall made yet another suggestion.
"Then let her sleep more? So that the inherited emblem can quickly transform her physical body?"
"That's one way too." Dumbledore's brow relaxed.
Although it wasn't named by Riddle, and doesn't have a single name, it is still a path that transcends the Gold Saints.
In the Trial Shop, if you directly convert and use the principle, you can get high-priced items worth over 10,000.
What's more, it was tailor-made for us.
Given that the [Path] Legacy Crest only activates to modify the physical body when sleeping, sleeping more will indeed provide a greater advantage.
As for advancing the progress based on the information Riddle sent to Phoebe in her email and the relevant data on her "path" principles, it's far too complicated.
In another, more prosperous magical world, the pinnacle of knowledge of the Dark Magic Fairy, even he could only analyze a fraction of it in a short time.
Those superficial skills could improve his own strength, but when used on Phoebe, whose physical body already contained all the secrets of those materials, they would only hold her back.
After all, the road itself has already been improved to perfection.
Dumbledore's conclusions were actually superfluous.
On the other hand, unlike Dumbledore only considered the "path" of Magic Immortal Artifact and Dark Magic Fairy.
The supporters of the other three Champion have more to consider.
Especially Cedric's current supporters.
Having gained the upper hand in the first mission, Voldemort's threat is now negligible, and with the allure of the books and documents in Cedric's encyclopedia, and through Amos Diggory's connections, Cedric has also secured investors and is no longer an unknown figure.
Building upon Dumbledore's work, these elite wizarding scholars from around the world also crafted spells specifically tailored to the Second Magical Power Source within Cedric's heart, spells more suited to the nature of this unfamiliar magic.
After all, the Second Magical Power Source is a high-priced item costing 500 gems, making it worthwhile to explore.
Moreover, this does not affect the exploration of the power of the Magic Immortal Artifact or the advancement of the [Path].
At the same time, they also brought all sorts of Fantastic Beasts, hoping to recreate the miracles of the biology class in the mission world in this world.
Krum's investors, led by Weasley, were even bolder and more ambitious.
According to the information in the encyclopedia, using the physical body transformed from the Krum Magic Immortal Artifact, experiments were carried out to the fullest extent, including dangerous magical Transfiguration.
In a short time, they actually achieved quite a few results.
Krum acquired the essence of the Ghost Immortal ahead of time. His physical body can be transformed into a ghost-like energy projection, making him immune to physical attacks. He can also fly without using the support of an elf, and can even enter the ground and pass through walls.
Meanwhile, Harry was experiencing a strange burst of power.
Almost every so often, he would glow and his magic would surge.
Therefore, he instead underwent some basic training in order to master his immense magical power.
Watching Harry unleash a massive beam of red Expelliarmus charm that blew up a wall, Snape, while repairing the wall with his wand, asked Lily beside him, "Are you sure Harry be alright?"
Because of Lily's presence, he had gotten used to calling Harry that affectionately.
Harry's magic surged, reminding him of the Obscurus.
A young wizard who died young due to excessive suppression of his magic, resulting in an overabundance of magical energy.
Therefore, even though Harry found a spell that suited his taste perfectly— the Expelliarmus —he couldn't be happy.
He used a spell that merely disarmed others and rendered them unable to resist, and now he's in this state.
It's practically gone from a 'weapon to get rid of you' to a 'life-threatening weapon'.
He found it hard to believe that Harry would be alright.
"Are you worried about him?" Lily didn't answer directly, but instead covered her mouth and chuckled.
Seeing that Lily was still in the mood to joke, Snape felt relieved and his brows relaxed, but to save face, he pretended to be deep and gloomy.
"Okay~" Lily said in her usual coquettish tone, "This is because the power of the Magic Immortal Artifact is surging rapidly on its own initiative. I feel that it might not be long before Harry can unleash the Magic Immortal Artifact Second Stage Liberation."
"That's normal. Harry has been enveloped in the Mana of love for over a decade. The essence of the Magic Immortal Artifact is also the power of love, and even his current path is built around love. Among all the Champion, perhaps only Diggory can barely compare to him in this respect."
Of everything Lily said, Snape only heard the trembling "Okay~", and the rest just passed through his mind.
Feeling a tingling sensation all over his body from the coquettish voice, he forced himself to stand up, lowered his head to hide his blushing face, and said, "That's great. I mean, it's good that he won't hold you back."
"Expelliarmus!" Harry used his Magic Eye this time, and a fiery red plasma beam crackling with electricity shot out from his eye, creating two wheels-sized holes in the opposite wall.
This gave him the feeling of becoming Superman from DC comics, but it still couldn't make him give up his frustration and glare at Snape not far away.
This is actually the real reason why he used the 'Expelliarmus you' as the 'life-eliminating weapon'.
Perhaps Snape and his friends didn't realize that as time went by, they picked up everything from their childhood and became more and more familiar with it.
Harry, who witnessed all of this, just wanted to give Snape a good whack on the head and kill him.
But at the same time, he was also glad that Sirius wasn't there.
If he were really there, his godfather would definitely say a lot of nasty things.
While all the Champion were busy training, Basil, the mastermind behind it all, was also busy flirting with Hermione and trying to seduce Luna.
First, he was busy processing the emotional energy from the beginning of the mission to the present using the previous mission world—a shared lucid dream created by the subconscious of all wizards.
This evolved into a stable dream world.
The magical knowledge he drew from multiple worlds collided within it, resulting in a wealth of new knowledge.
While busy digesting this new knowledge, he also needed to collect experimental data from the four Champion and the Heroic Spirits.
If it weren't for the fact that he could speed up digestion by 'making a wish' and could also become two, he would definitely be overwhelmed with work.
But most importantly, he still needs to devise the background for the next trial world.
It directly uses the seventh movie as the background to build a world, with Voldemort and the Death Eater as prey in a hunt.
Let's choose Marvel and DC as the source material and broaden the horizons of wizards who are indulging in self-entertainment in the global village.
Or perhaps it could incorporate the spiritual magic system of the American Horror Story world, or the emotional magic system of the School of Good and Evil world, for another clash.
After all, the product of this collision between Light Power, Evil Power, and the magic system of this world surprised him greatly, and he gained a lot from it.
Moreover, he has never actually been to the Marvel DC World, and the magical technology derived from it will only be a dubious product. As a result, all he gets is the emotional energy from the audience's fluctuations due to the world's background.
