Two Satisfied People

Cedric never expected that the opponent he was looking forward to, the one who could kill his boredom, would arrive in the very next match he was thinking of.

A faint, silvery-white wave of light, created by the Force, emanated from the hands of the unadorned gray armored figure before him.

The force fluctuations of this light wave were extremely weak, like a gentle breeze, but it spread very quickly.

Most of the Fantastic Beasts it swept over instantly lost their lives and returned to basic elements.

This also includes Cedric. If it weren't for the special nature of his "path," which Setsuna ignited the Phoenix Flame and regenerated all the cells in his body, he probably wouldn't have survived.

(Dumbledore suddenly stood up, "There's a poison that can instantly kill Dark Magic Fairy whose body has been modified by the [Path].")

"This is poison," Riddle's voice was unpredictable. "A poison that targets the physical body."

He noticed that those that survived were phoenixes and Space Jellyfish, life forms with biased energy structures.

"What kind of poison is this?" Cedric was equally surprised.

He noticed that the Basilisk, which had extremely high resistance to poison, had taken the lives of even the enormous Cosmic Dinosaur.

"It actually withstood my Polonium Force." The gray knight was surprised.

(Due to the live stream's capture, unlike Cedric, viewers heard the Grey Knight's voice.)

(Aside from those viewers who were fortunate enough to have been exposed to the knowledge of the Magic Immortal World, most others were somewhat confused, with only a small number recalling the periodic table of elements mentioned in the Magic Immortal World's creation class.)

Polonium is the most toxic substance in the world, and the human body cannot tolerate more than 0.8 parts per trillion of polonium.

However, its toxicity is not based on its chemical properties, but on its high radioactivity due to its short 138-day half-life. It continuously fires alpha particles like a machine gun, and each particle randomly steals two electrons from the enemy's body.

Alpha particles have a very short travel distance—only a few centimeters—and cannot penetrate the skin. They pose no harm outside the body as long as they are not allowed to enter.

But this is the precious Force that he learned through polonium.

While retaining toxicity, it is not subject to physical rules.

The design of his armor was entirely aimed at amplifying the penetration and diffusion speed of his Force.

Even the most airtight light armor cannot withstand it.

It can be said that no carbon-based organism can resist it.

New Human might be able to forcibly sustain their lives with the Force. If they possess a deep understanding of the Force, a profound grasp of the Life Force, and skillful application of the Force, they might be able to recreate their physical bodies by expending a massive amount of Life Force.

The Gray Knight began to ponder what methods this opponent had used to deal with the situation.

After all, the fact that the Fantastic Beasts quickly filled the field again showed that the opponent's Force depletion was not significant.

'Could this mech, or its defensive technology, be based on spatial teleportation?'

'That'

He still needs to breathe.

With a thought, the Polonium Force fluctuations that had been maintained continued, while a portion was converted into a less toxic but more targeted form of hydrogen cyanide. This extracted force, using a specially developed force application technology, combined with oxygen in the air.

In this situation, even the most sensitive sense of smell cannot detect its inherent bitter almond flavor.

After all, it is the Force, and an applied technology based on the Force, not hydrogen cyanide itself.

A smirk played on the lips beneath the gray knight's helmet. "Take my hydrogen cyanide force! Let's see how you resist! It can suppress cellular respiration; without respiration, cells produce no energy, unless... you're a self-circulating Cosmic Knight."

"What's going on?" Cedric noticed that the army of Fantastic Beasts, which had been transformed into phoenixes with a more energy-oriented structure, was also suddenly starting to weaken. Although they didn't die and collapse back to the [Chaos Nest] as before, they were using more of their Force to sustain themselves.

As for himself, his skin was turning pale, his breathing and heartbeat were beginning to stop, the shadow behind him was disappearing, his body was becoming light, and his canines were growing. He was automatically evolving towards becoming a pure [vampire].

It was as if the body sensed that it could no longer exist in its original form.

"Never mind what happened. Just kill him and activate Groudon." Riddle said, as his stored white external armor detached from his body and transformed into a giant, winged white snake.

It revealed the hidden crimson base color underneath.

"Yes." Cedric, having nearly been killed twice, wasn't without anger. "Primal Reversion."

The crimson armor extended its right hand, Dadi began to expand and accumulate, with a hundred-meter-high mountain rising out of thin air. Then, it erupted with fiery magma, the orange-yellow color of which intensified over time.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The gray knight retreated rapidly while dealing with the phenomena created by the various Magical Creature approaching—air tremors, fire rain, Jin Guang, and Stormfront noise.

His meditation skills were quite good, and his sixth sense was also very sharp. He clearly felt the towering mountain that rose up in that instant, and something in the magma was aimed at him. No matter how he retreated, the feeling of getting closer and closer to death became stronger.

"The Sword of the Cliff!" The hand, encased in crimson gauntlets, gripped tightly.

The mountain fractured, lava flowed and spread, and a Jin Guang shot towards the gray knight.

"It's over." After returning to the challenge platform, Cedric reverted to his human form and began to pant.

Then I started to wonder, "Should I have posed and shouted 'Fire Kirin Devours Sun' just now?"

(After seeing Cedric's victory, Cho Chang finally dared to vent his anger, "All you do is act recklessly. If you had just copied Phoebe and Krum, you would have won immediately by attacking first. You almost died twice.")

(Ginny comforted him, "Cedric did try to attack first, but who knew his opponent was a poisoner, targeting living beings. It's also because the [Chaos Nest]'s capabilities are too superior; the summoned Magical Creature have real bodies, making them easy targets.")

("But this is only a low-probability situation. Most light armors are designed to target energy, and forms constructed purely of energy are actually at a disadvantage.")

("Have you noticed," Ron suddenly said, "That they mostly fight by exchanging magical attacks from a great distance, and rarely engage in melee combat?")

(Hermione rolled her eyes. "Because the New Human originated from wizards, and most wizards use magic to fight. It's rare to find someone like Gryffindor who uses a sword for close combat. Phoebe and the others' light armor is more like a larger wand that amplifies magic power, provides physical and magical defense, and has flight capabilities and other special abilities.")

Meanwhile, at 8 p. m., in his final battle, Krum finally encountered an opponent who could keep up with him.

("Kabuto!" As one of the most vocal haters of Phoebe, Hermione immediately recognized the light armor that even Phoebe couldn't pull off. "Could it be a descendant or disciple of the Tendou Souji?")

(As a viewer, she also knew that the fundamental reason why such advanced light armor could not be controlled was that the corresponding knight's Lesser Universe was too special. Even if the wearer's Force was sufficient to maintain the operation of the technology or Force application technology that was different from the rules of reality, it would still be rejected due to differences in personality, Lesser Universe, and energy properties, and might even automatically explode and disintegrate like the Build Genius Form.)

"Cast Off!"

The knight, recognizing Krum's identity, immediately activated the switch on the [Insect Device].

The somewhat bulky armor shell peeled off, transforming into high-speed bullets that shattered in all directions.

Having watched Krum's combat videos, he knew that even though his mech's [sensory element] was sensitive enough to detect timeline distortions, most high-speed enemies could be countered by his [rapid reaction device], allowing his body to respond to their attacks in time.

But Krum is the exception.

As for Krum, facing the fragments of the enemy's armor that were hurtling towards him at 2,000 meters per second, he simply swayed slightly and twisted his neck to easily dodge them.

Then a slender lightsaber shot towards his neck, followed by a voice that seemed to have summoned it, "Standby!"

Wow, so fast!

Thinking this, Krum revealed a long-lost smile, his body moving at high speed, creating shockwaves, and his fist doing the same, swinging towards the light armor that resembled a humanoid rhinoceros beetle.

The two moved at high speeds in completely different ways.

One relies on [tachyons] to accelerate the movement of surrounding particles in the flow of time, creating only red light and shadow, without any trace of smoke or fire.

The other green light and shadow created shockwaves, the vibrating sound waves being his weapon itself. At this speed, speed was his best weapon.

In short, one's speed can be converted into power, while the other only has pure speed.

Therefore, the red light armor primarily uses sharp, slender lightsabers to face enemies, dodging both the enemy itself and the sonic waves it generates.

("The kabuto is going to lose," Ron concluded immediately.)

(Don't be fooled by the fact that only a minute has passed; this is a high-speed battle, and in that short time they have already traversed more than a hundred laps around the arena.)

("Not necessarily." Hermione shook her head. Krum had been flying for months, and even if she wasn't interested, she knew a little about it. "This time, Krum didn't use his [Path] Free Stance to absorb the sonic boom created by high-speed flight.")

("Instead, it was transformed into shields and weapons.")

("In this situation, his magic power will not decrease but increase during high-speed flight.")

("His light armor will no longer ignore the resistance of the air.")

("Even though his mech is equipped with an ultra-high-speed configuration, the swing mechanism inside will absorb some resistance at high speeds, but it still can't withstand speeds exceeding the mech's inherent performance.")

("As for Kabuto, his high speed is more like directly accelerating time; the mecha itself doesn't suffer much wear and tear.")

The riders who drive the Kabuto think the same way.

But he didn't expect that Krum, who was skilled in high-speed combat, would do this.

Because there is a world of difference between the two people's inherent Force abilities.

Krum doesn't need to conserve the Force that's a drop in the ocean for him.

Damage to the light armor can be repaired entirely using the sun or the Life Force.

All he needs to do is throw punches, keep speeding, not thinking about anything else, and use the sonic Riptide generated by the high speed to defeat his opponent.

Ultimately, the Knights could only seize the last opportunity.

"Clock Over!"

The [Time-Accelerated State] was forcibly exhausted, and the Force that maintained the activity of [Tachyons] in the [Insect Device] disappeared.

The remaining Force flowed to his right arm, and the slender lightsaber, following the momentum of the disappearing [Time-Accelerated State] state, swung towards the sound wave, towards the spot where the light armor he was about to punch should have appeared at the neck.

Running at such a high speed, it must be very difficult to stop.

"You underestimate me." Krum snorted, as if he could hear the other's thoughts.

The sound waves and even the inertia generated by the forward movement vanished instantly, turning into the Force.

The neck, along with the light armor, hovered for a split second before it approached the lightsaber.

The fist didn't stop; it seemed to separate from the body, becoming two parts. Krum twisted his body and slammed into the head of the red light armor.

As a red, broken horn flew out and landed, Krum exited the arena.

(Seeing Krum win, he guessed correctly, Hermione guessed wrong, but Ron didn't show off.)

(His attention is now completely focused on Harry.)

(The same goes for Ginny and Draco in the Slytherin dormitory.)

(Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy also became unusually tense.)

"Harry, my opponent is you." The silver-green visor disappeared, revealing a face that Harry recognized.

"Yeah," Harry replied with a forced laugh.

He had planned to rest after this match, but he ran into an acquaintance—no, a friend.

During this time, he had already come to regard 'Draco' as a friend.

'Draco' must be the same.

Because he knew everything about the silver-green light armor in front of him.

In order to design an excellent suit of light armor for Harry, Draco specially provided Harry with his own design for reference.

Both of their armor plates bore testimonies of their friendship.

The silver lily pattern on the silver-green armor breastplate and the fire dragon pattern with outstretched wings on the right arm of the black armor were marks they left for each other.

("Disgusting." Ron squinted. Even though he knew that this 'Draco' was actually Weasley, his family's junior, he was still furious at the sight of that face and the details of his interactions with Harry over the past few months.)

("Luckily Harry deliberately avoided him." Ginny noticed their gazes were almost glued together and began to feel relieved; otherwise, her Harry would have become Dumbledore, and she would rather Harry find another girlfriend.)

Harry realized this and quickly avoided the other person's gaze.

But he didn't discover something was wrong because of the contact with his eyes; rather, he discovered his own "path," the "path" that can only blossom with the nourishment of love, which was progressing at a very obvious speed.

Harry blamed it all on his longing for Draco.

Then, as if electrocuted, he put away his mask and said, "Let's fight first, then we'll eat together later."

"Order takeout again?" Draco seemed oblivious to Harry's evasiveness, and stepped forward familiarly. "Let's get the Three Broomsticks student meal again. I remember you love the fried chicken leg in it."

("That's because I like it! Stay away from Harry! You..." Ron was trembling with anger, which calmed Ginny down, who was about to explode, and then his expression became inscrutable.)

(Not only Ginny, but everyone around them looked at Ron Shendu.)

(For the first time Lavender shed her romantic illusions and began to suspect that Ron's friendship with Harry was not entirely innocent.)

(Dumbledore looked at Ron with the eyes of someone who understood him, "I was a redhead back in the day.")
