Phoebe Takes the Lead

Basil did not intentionally want to get himself involved in frying fish.

Rather, it's because this dream universe is far more difficult to take shape than other universes.

The Magic Immortal World only showcases the [Tree Realm]. The [Mountain Sea Realm] and [Cloud Realm] can be shown in a blurry way for now, or even just as textures. They can be improved gradually later.

But the Virtual Universe, the set of tangible light armor in the Cosmic Selection Competition, and the scientific and technological aspects contained therein almost made Basil go bald and nearly cause him to faint from exhaustion.

In terms of magic, he could truly reach the level of a pillar of the Magic Immortal World, wielding a concept, occupying a source of energy, and having all intelligent beings cultivate for him and obtain all their achievements.

After all, most of the magic he has learned so far is based on my own thinking and foundation.

With enough data and energy, the wish can be fulfilled by the Fairy Tale Mage's 'wish'.

As for science, although it is a methodology and a tool for Tomoyo, it overlaps with the logic-based aspects of magic and does not contradict magic.

Before transmigrating, Basil, who was still Li Lin, dropped out of university in his freshman year.

He has a liberal arts background.

It requires the collective wisdom of scientists worldwide, but also his own integration and understanding; heaven knows how he survived this period.

If science fails, magic will do. Magic, no, it really works!

The result is that even with all his efforts, the universe still needs him to become an idol to attract the attention of all viewers, as the World Tree that supports this dream world.

Basil Granger, the inventor of the Sun Furnace, rarely gets a chance to speak.

Thus, Li Lin, a freshman at [Luofu Cave Heaven], made his debut.

However, the feeling of appearing before everyone again, using my name from my Previous Life and that face that should never have appeared again, was something I hadn't experienced in a long time.

This is absolutely fantastic!

"This is really... terrible!" Li Lin's Phoebe paled as she watched the video clip.

As is well known, in the second match in March, player matchmaking was based on completion time.

She dawdled for quite a while.

The time it took them to clear the checkpoint was almost the same as Li Lin's.

Fortunately, the second match is a points-based competition, so the outcome is not determined by a single loss.

But she didn't want to encounter such a monster.

Unlike Harry, she had previously spent information points to brush up on a lot of basic knowledge and recognized what Li Lin was showing.

The most powerful and invincible application technology of the Force in this world—[The Mind's Eye World].

In a trendy way, it can be called a "Inherent Domain," or in a simpler way, Lesser Universe unfolding.

This is not an exaggeration by Phoebe.

The Lesser Universe created by each Cosmic Knight is a condensation of their knowledge, intelligence, potential, will, emotions, Force, and everything else; it is the most direct manifestation of themselves.

Therefore, no matter how powerful their Force manipulation techniques are, they cannot compare to the Lesser Universe itself.

This is precisely why the most powerful application of the Force is the technology of Lesser Universe using it to erode reality, allowing it to overlap with reality.

Within their scope, they are the will of Heaven; to oppose them is to oppose the entire world.

This is even more dangerous than entering the plane of the plane master without authorization.

The Dimensional Lords, by virtue of the stable existence of their planes and their ability to recreate and digest everything within them from the void, possess far less control over their planes than the Cosmic Knight do over their unfolded Lesser Universe.

The only way to deal with this is to use one's own Lesser Universe, the Root (which is another manifestation of the Lesser Universe; not every New Human opens up their Lesser Universe, but their Lesser Universe manifests as planes, light armor, Nuclear Reactor, some kind of Force application technology with a living characteristic, or a unique ability), or to fight against it by having Lesser Universe that is greater than the opponent's.

But the latter is difficult.

If we say that the fighting power of a Cosmic Knight Lesser Universe 10.

Within his unfolding Lesser Universe, his combat power is 100.

The former uses its own Lesser Universe to fight back, which is equivalent to reducing and offsetting the opponent's bonus, preventing its combat power from reaching 100, or even lowering it to 10.

The latter requires you to be strong enough, meaning your combat power must be greater than or equal to 100 in order to fight against the opponent.

If the value is equal to 100, since humans are not machines, their combat effectiveness will be affected by various factors such as mindset, the state of their armor, and whether their Force application techniques are countered by the opponent.

Only by fully displaying themselves, unleashing their full potential, and employing techniques that allow them to unleash their inner Lesser Universe to their fullest extent, can Cosmic Knight who has mastered the "Mind's Eye World" be more likely to win.

"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Phoebe exclaimed in frustration. "How could a first-year student learn a technique like [Mind's Eye World], which even most Cosmic Knight would find difficult to master, and then drag it out, just around the same time as my competition!"

She has been in this world for several months.

Since the school assumed that she had already mastered the application techniques of the Force in elementary, middle and high school, and that she had passed in terms of application techniques, she had been focusing on expanding her Force abilities.

Students who have explored their own Wisdom Force to the limit are exposed to other forces and can delve into the force in which they have a high inclination (testing inclinations is very common in this world; Furong tested it when Phoebe bought the Genshin Crystal). Other forces with lower inclinations can be used as supplements to help them learn by analogy.

The course on the application of the Force is not taught at all; students are left to develop their own solutions based on their own circumstances.

But she was not a student who had received a complete education.

She studied magic from the old era, and with Dumbledore's intensive tutoring, she became a qualified wizard.

The [Magic Immortal Artifact], elves, and the [Path] of the Dark Magic Fairy obtained in the Magic Immortal World are all technologies and technological achievements that are difficult for this world to match in terms of improving one's own essence and exploring one's own roots.

However, my knowledge of magic has not improved.

It's just about using force to fly bricks; it's about making a fundamental, high-level improvement.

The Witch of the Rune Card World only enhanced her essence; the spell cards were merely an extension of the magical knowledge she had learned, a kind of trick.

So, in reality, although she is stronger than most of the New Human in this world, and even comparable to some Cosmic Knight have not learned the "Mind World," she may not be as good as a high school student in terms of Force application technology.

Some spells, due to their inherent improvement and the existence of spell cards, may have surpassed their depth, but their breadth...

And in terms of the more advanced views, classifications, and understandings of magic that have developed over hundreds of years, she cannot compare to the other party in these intangible aspects.

So, she's been catching up on this knowledge lately.

In my spare time, I also need to read and analyze data.

But one look was enough to tell that something was wrong; they knew of Li Lin's existence.

The pressure is immense, to say the least.

Ten minutes later, I had to give myself another lesson—high school level Force application techniques.

Without relying on the tricks of spell cards, and without using wand gestures to cast spells, the level of skill in bringing spells to life is only at a high school level!

Outrageous!

("It's over, Harry's over," Ron exclaimed.)

(Phoebe's curls were revealed to all the viewers.)

(While Harry and Krum also saw Li Lin's videos through various channels, and both learned the true nature of Li Lin's methods from 'Draco' and 'Krum' respectively, they also made efforts.)

(But their efforts were completely misguided.)

Krum, taking advantage of the increased time in the Virtual Universe, continuously flew, played Quidditch, and advanced the progress of his "path".

But even when Phoebe transforms into a phoenix, it happens in Virtual Universe.

Moreover, she seems to have the same effect when she wears the Phoenix Enhanced Full Bottle Build armor.

Even while dressed, she continued to watch video materials for lessons and training.

Harry's progress in the "path" was minimal. Without a girlfriend, he lost the nourishment of love and was left only with the stable, weak growth brought by his mother's companionship and love.

Although being with 'Draco' also brings strange progress.

But Harry ignored this point entirely in order to avoid becoming Dumbledore.

(Dumbledore sighed, "Foolish! Don't be so narrow-minded about love.")

(Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief. If Harry were to get together with Draco, who was actually Fred's great-grandson, they wouldn't know how to view this brother-in-law and great-grandson's wife.)

Harry focused more on practical training, constantly adjusting the design of his light armor, practicing war magic, and getting used to the various amplifications his mother provided through drugs during battle.

As for the Force lessons, the essential improvements brought about by exposure to various Forces can be considered nonexistent.

Even Cedric, who was practically giving up, was studying diligently in the Force class.

He usually slacks off by watching videos, which Riddle throws into games related to Fantastic Beasts.

So, in reality, Harry and Krum's efforts were only on par with Cedric's.

Although they may seem to be slacking off, the progress they've made on the "path" through contact with Fantastic Beasts is substantial.

In QQ Farm, a game produced by Tencent, Cedric, who was shouting "[Sword 23]", suddenly shivered. He looked at the Cosmic Dinosaur bred by Saturn not far away and thought, "It has learned another form."

The control panel was brought up.

Time and space shifted, and he found himself next to a Fantastic Beasts called Space Jellyfish. In the vast wilderness, amidst thunderclouds, he pulled up the video again.

(Hagrid ignored Madame Maxime once again, his beetle-like black eyes fixed only on the purple-skinned, transparent Space Jellyfish Spark swaying and sparking in the thunderclouds. "It's so beautiful.")

I clicked play.

"Xiongba can only die by my hand!"

Seeing the Sword Saint fall, Cedric's eyes widened in fury, "Bu Jingyun, you bastard!"

(Ron sighed, "The more forms Cedric learns, the more Fantastic Beasts Riddle can summon, not to mention the physical and magical increases brought about by the [Path] upgrade.")

(The external armor controlled by Riddle was modified by Paradise Lost, and the summoned creatures were changed from Phantom Beast to real Magical Creature that could Transfiguration under their control.)

(It should be noted that these Magical Creature have also gained an ability called [True Form] thanks to the magic of the fairy.)

(So, Ron couldn't help but sigh, "Is this guy really just giving up?")

("Harry's really finished, I guess. Unless he gets a girlfriend.")

("Krum can also gain double experience points because of the [Magic Immortal Artifact]'s ability.")

(Ginny, listening to Ron's words, looked at Harry was still in the video, with a mixture of happiness and disappointment.)

(She was happy because in this world Harry was virtuous and even rejected 'Draco Malfoy'.)

(And the disappointment stemmed from knowing that her boyfriend's chances of winning were slim.)

"This victory will definitely be mine," Harry said confidently.

Because he discovered that the [Magic Immortal Artifact] had been [Ultimate Liberation].

(Basil: "Bullshit, all four of you have [Ultimate Liberation].")

His "Ultimate Liberation" was not an enhancement of his existing ability, nor a transformation into a completely different ability, nor a composite situation, but rather the acquisition of a new ability.

The shield with golden lily patterns had been transformed into a full suit of armor, which, if not mentioned, would easily be mistaken for a suit of light armor.

The new ability is based on exploring another aspect of his soul besides the part about love.

Devour.

In the [Initial Release] state, he can only deflect external attacks, fatigue, aging, etc.

Now, it can devour it and turn it into its own Force.

This can actually be considered an expansion based on the original ability.

In the past, attacks exceeding his defensive and reflective capacity could only be withstood by his shield Protective Charm. He had to bear the burdens of fatigue and aging himself, or he could Dotty reflect them back as weapons. But now, those that exceed his capacity can be transformed into his Force.

This indirectly improved his defense and endurance.

I'm exhausted; I can't bounce back completely.

The remaining portion was converted into the Force.

The Force also comes in different types for Harry right now.

It is transformed into Life Force to repair wounds and gaps in the armor.

It can be converted into Solar Force to enhance the armor's defense, and White Magic can be used to create the power of light and heat magic, slightly increasing output.

It is converted into Dark Force, enhancing the output of the light armor, Dark Magic, the power of magic that creates darkness and lowers temperature, and slightly increasing defense.

If you need to create magical phenomena such as lightning or fire, you only need to convert them into the appropriate Force.

Therefore, Harry can't think of any reason why he lost to the other Champion.

"How could someone as strong as me lose? How could I possibly lose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry channeled the frustration he felt because of Li Lin into the Solar Force. Countless rays of light and heat converged in the fist of the mecha and blasted towards the earth.

Rumble!

The area within a ten-mile radius was instantly reduced to scorched earth.

Harry was suspended in mid-air, the ground beneath his feet had turned to dust, and a little further away, the ground had become vitrified.

("Oh no, Harry's too arrogant." Ron was speechless.)

(Harry's punch was so powerful that he was virtually unmatched by any of the local qualifiers from outside Li Lin.)

(But Krum's extreme speed, another mech with combat power no less than Krum and even surpassing it; Cedric's immortal Fantastic Beasts that have mastered [True Form], and the inherited mech that has not yet fully displayed the style of Groudon, the Dadi God; Phoebe's instantaneous long-distance Apparition, the unimaginable power of fire magic enhanced by mechs of the same nature, and the fireworks she created that were larger than an atomic bomb.)

(These are all points that Harry needs to take seriously, as he could easily fail if he's not careful.)

("Unless he's in a relationship, in Virtual Universe, I can't think of any reason why Harry would win.")

("What do you mean?!" Ginny snapped, "You really want him to find another man, right?!")

("That's Weasley!" "My great-grandson!" George and Fred were furious, their ears turning red.)
