The Unnoticeable Black Hole

("I think I understand what's going on," Dumbledore said.)

(He looked at his usual straight man, Professor McGonagall, "You should have noticed, right? The knights who are skilled in Fire Force and Dadi elements and choose lava environments have encountered light armor that absorbs heat and expands continuously.")

("Krum, on the other hand, chose a space environment with its fully high-speed configuration, only to encounter an environment full of obstacles like the Ring Belt, while its opponent was a mech that focused on high-precision operation and had an exceptionally high speed.")

("The mechs Harry will face will definitely be very effective against mechs that excel at naval warfare.")

("But neither Harry nor Krum played by the rules.")

("Harry, relying on his extraordinary defensive abilities, kept diving deeper, letting the pressure of the sea crush his opponent.")

("Krum, whose [Road] is known for its speed, combined with his mechs, kept the enemy in high-speed mode, eventually wearing down their mechs.")

Krum also realized, "I think I guessed it. That mech probably activated some kind of acceleration device to keep up with my speed. As a result, it overloaded."

The Prewett Brothers, who had been observing the scene, recalled what had just happened and noticed that there were rows of yellow lights on the purple armor arm when it was moving at high speed, but all those lights went out when it exploded.

"Maybe that's really the case."

Meanwhile, Phoebe, who had returned to reality, stretched and sighed, "I think I can understand why they added the feature of freely selecting scenes."

She also realized that the human-machine matching configuration was targeting her.

"If they don't have an advantage in terms of the scenario, it's no wonder that many first-year university students from previous years failed in the preliminary rounds."

"I've heard rumors that the second round of the points competition has too few participants and is not interesting, so the format needs to be changed."

"So that's where the changes were made."

"Phew, there are still three months until the points competition, but I'm afraid I won't have much peace and quiet in the coming days."

Because she knew that the details of the Cosmic Selection Competition would be posted on the official website.

During the competition, she demonstrated several unusual features, including the sudden shrinking of the mecha, Apparition at long distances, high-frequency Force output, and resistance to high temperatures far exceeding the mecha's own heat resistance.

This was even after she had made every effort to conceal even more methods.

These will attract countless collaborations, investments, or suppressions that are restricted within the rules but are very annoying.

After all, whether it's based on unique Force technology, excellent Force qualities, or the modification technology of light armor or Force Furnace, these are all worth pursuing by rent-seekers.

She could already imagine countless businesses approaching her for collaborations, just to get her to use their parts in the upcoming matches, or to say a few words of advertising before the battle.

And countless papers analyzing her personally and her opponents would be sent to her emails.

Another option is to spy on her real-life information for profit, or to spread rumors that skirt the edges of reality.

This is not because Phoebe has paranoia; previous contestants who were considered potential winners have all suffered from this.

For example, Voldemort was cyberbullied and had a lot of false information fabricated to prove that he, like Voldemort, was a complete scoundrel and Pure-blood.

This was all under the condition that 'Voldemort' was a college student, a contestant in the Cosmic Selection Competition, and was under high-level protection, preventing those rumor-mongers from using any more outrageous methods.

Although this is mostly because the name Voldemort is inherently controversial.

However, her name, Phoebe Delacour, the name of the woman who gained the title of "Sun King" and then lost it due to her desire for division, didn't exactly garner a good reputation either.

In short, for the next period of time, Phoebe plans to directly reject all emails outside the whitelist, stay home except for classes, play only single-player games, and live in the Virtual Universe all day long.

Hello, Phoebe.

"Your armor is so beautiful!"

"You truly are a descendant of the Sun King."

"Remember to check my emails; there's some very important information in them."

On her way to breakfast, Phoebe was showered with compliments.

However, I've gotten used to it over the past month.

Furthermore, she also unlisted the emails from the whitelist.

Clearly, all her worries from a month ago were unfounded.

Her identity as a descendant of the Sun King was enough to shield her from all trouble.

Some videos and comments that defame her are often deleted shortly after they are posted, and in serious cases, they can even be traced back to offline events.

After demonstrating her excellence, she received help from all sides.

Much valuable knowledge, including common sense that circulated only among the Cosmic Knight, was sent directly to her email address.

She finally understood that she couldn't use most of the advanced light armor.

Most advanced mechs are so special and possess unique abilities because they possess the laws of another universe.

Every Cosmic Knight, or any outstanding New Human, possesses abilities that defy logic and the laws of physics due to the Force, a power rooted in idealism.

Even those Cosmic Knights with scientific backgrounds don't have Lesser Universe perfectly matches the real universe.

Their light armor, which serves as their second body, and their Nuclear Reactor often originate from singularities that do not conform to the real universe, thus giving birth to abilities that defy common sense.

This is why most advanced light armors are highly personalized; even if they are replicas, only the corresponding knight can drive them and perform them perfectly.

(After learning these common-sense facts through Phoebe's perspective, the audience also began to understand some things they hadn't understood before.)

(Ron, who cares most about Harry, exclaimed, "No wonder Basil didn't just build Harry a Sun Furnace; it turns out only Basil's Lesser Universe could fit and support it.")

(Hermione suddenly realized, "So, the reason that 'Krum' let Krum use his method to comprehend the Cosmic Force and create his Lesser Universe was because he intended to let Krum use the data from his mecha directly.")

("Then he gave up because he mistook Krum's manifestation of the 'path' for Krum mastering his own unique laws.")

("Even if the methods for creating Lesser Universe are the same, the resulting Lesser Universe will be different.")

(As Basil was behind the scenes, corrected, "It's not that you need to comprehend the Cosmic Force to create your Lesser Universe; rather, it's that by comprehending the Cosmic Force, your Lesser Universe will take shape.")

("The [Magic Immortal Artifact] and the [path] of the Dark Magic Fairy are both ways to explore and refine one's own origins. Harry and his friends are now equivalent to having Lesser Universe, but because they lack the Cosmic Force, it is not broad enough, which prevents their own origins from expanding into Lesser Universe.")

(Meanwhile, Phoebe has now absorbed the Genshin Crystal through the Sub-dimension and, through the spiritual world, has touched the edge of the Lesser Universe.)

(In fact, the ultimate goal of the Sub-dimension environment cycle profession is an alternative Lesser Universe.)

(However, one is self-centered, merging the Lesser Universe with itself, while the other places it outside the body, using it as the main body and relying on subspace to develop into Sub-dimension.)

("How did you know?" Unlike Hermione, who accepted everything, Ron was somewhat annoyed.)

(A dazzling sea of stars emanated from Basil's body, just as the Cosmic Knight 'Krum' showed in the video. "Perhaps it's because I am also Basil Granger, but I think I understand what the Force is all about, and I've also grasped the Lesser Universe.")

(Ron was so shocked that he fell off his chair.)

(Hermione's eyes are full of adoration.)

(The professors in the High Table stood up abruptly.)

(In an instant, all eyes in the Great Hall turned to Basil.)

Harry is currently looking at Basil.

"This is Li Lin, a genius from [Luofu Cave Heaven]. He awakened his Lesser Universe in his freshman year. What's more, he wasn't a naturally born New Human." 'Draco' introduced the character in the video.

([Luofu Cave Heaven] and Li Lin attracted the attention of a group of viewers.)

(To cover his embarrassment, Ron deliberately spoke loudly, "Li Lin? Dragon Country?")

(Neville was easily fooled, "In the 22nd century, it's the Interstellar Federation. Forget about Dragon Country, even Britain is gone.")

Having grown up alongside the legitimate descendants of the Sun King and inheriting the name of Harry Potter, one of the best of the first generation of knights, Harry's unparalleled resilience in the competition has made him a figure of great anticipation.

My email inbox also received many documents related to the competition.

They are watching videos of matches featuring outstanding first-year students who could potentially become Harry's rivals.

"[Luofu Cave Heaven] A-1, the [Luofu Cave Heaven] on Earth where elementary, middle and high school students all reside? The [Luofu Cave Heaven] that nurtured the [Sun King] Basil!" Harry exclaimed in shock.

Compared to [Luofu Cave Heaven], Li Lin became Cosmic Knight in his freshman year, achieving something that many college students could never accomplish in their entire lives. For Harry, it was nothing.

But he still looked at the video with a serious expression.

The space environment that Li Lin chose in the video.

He was in the sun's Corona Layer —the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, a ring of high-temperature, highly ionized plasma that surrounds the sun and other stars.

The temperature exceeds 1 million degrees Celsius, hundreds of times higher than the temperature of the sun's surface.

Within the silvery-white Corona Layer, the mech he piloted, seemingly crafted from the cosmos, remained motionless.

(Dumbledore, with a serious expression, said, "This light armor is definitely not just for show.")

(These days, not only Harry and Phoebe, but all the other Champion have also received tremendous support.)

(Cedric inherited the name of the first knight, and the power of that Killing Curse was terrifying, while Krum, although he did not inherit the name, was of legitimate lineage and displayed an astonishing speed.)

(In summary, based on the video footage presented from the perspectives of the four Champion, Dumbledore has determined that the opponents matched in the human-machine competition are selected based on the performance of the players' mechs and the chosen environment.)

(While Krum is Ring Belt.)

(This suit of light armor, however, is used in combat within the Corona Layer.)

His opponent, on the other hand, wore a set of Winky silver armor with blue-glowing blades on his limbs and torso that resembled killing weapons. Blue rings appeared on his body due to the flickering plasma.

As the number of rings increases, the frequency of the blue light emanating from the surface of the blade also increases.

"[Silver Miracle]? The entire body is made of [Cosmic Mithril] (Mithril is another name for Goblin Silver, a metal that only Goblin can forge, capable of absorbing magic to strengthen itself; while Cosmic Mithril is a material that even the Lord of the Sub-dimension cannot replicate, forged by Goblin using Muggle technology and Cosmic Energy as raw materials), absorbing all known forms of energy, and capable of only temporarily attacking the knight through instantaneous high-peak output, making it virtually indestructible light armor?"

Harry is no longer someone who works in isolation and can't be recognized by a suit of light armor.

But that's precisely why he was surprised.

The fact that the system in the Cosmic Selection Competition matched the Silver Miracle as an opponent reveals just how terrifying the person who designed this mech must be.

Unlike Frost Chill, the energy absorbed by Silver Miracle is not overloaded; the knight himself needs to convert the excess energy.

[Silver Miracle] will automatically transform it into a Force Blade that vibrates at high frequencies.

Once the body reaches its limit, it will automatically create layers of silvery protective coating on its surface.

Therefore, its controller often remains stationary, absorbing all the surrounding energy like a black hole, waiting for the opponent's attack.

Its opponents, especially those who know the secrets of the Silver Miracle, often take advantage of the Force Blade's vibration frequency reaching its limit and before the coating is manufactured, to attack using the most destructive weapon of the mech and the most powerful Force application technology.

But Li Lin in the video, like the Silver Miracle, remained motionless.

It was as if they were waiting for the other side to layer their armor.

"Is he crazy?" Harry couldn't help but exclaim.

Watching the Silver Miracle's dignified silver light multiply, seemingly doubling in size, Harry felt an urge to join the battle. "Get moving!"

"Very good, this kind of quality is worthy of being swallowed by a black hole." A soft laugh came from the Information Wave sent by Li Lin.

"Black hole?" Harry didn't know what that was. After all, he wasn't a native-born student at the Magic University, and his knowledge of some scientific common sense came only from his 11 years at the Dursley family, Muggle elementary school.

(Only some viewers, so knowledgeable that they even had some understanding of Muggle general relativity, understood what this meant.)

(If they could create a compact celestial body with a spacetime curvature so great that even light could not escape its event horizon, then this suit of light armor and the knight piloting it could not imagine any possibility of failure, or where they could find an adversary.)

All Harry knew was that Li Lin was finally about to make his move.

The right hand of the armored figure, gleaming with Starlight as if it were part of the empty universe beyond the Corona Layer, was raised.

"Come and experience the vastness of the universe, and let the black hole, from which even light cannot escape, serve as your grave!"

Then the screen went black.

The entire video was completely black, and then it ended a second later.

For the first time, Harry began to doubt his chances of winning. "When did this attack begin? How did it unfold? How can we defend against it?"

He finally understood why the mission didn't require them to win the Champion, but only to defeat the other Champion.
