Enemy of Heaven

(The order of the courses was naturally based on their relationship: Harry, Cedric, Krum.)

The next day.

Harry got up early in the morning and logged into the Cosmic Selection Competition to start matching opponents.

After a day, he had begun to enjoy the game.

He spread the power of [Devour] throughout his body, absorbing the opponent's attacks and transforming them into Force cannons that he fired.

In the eyes of his opponents, Harry Potter was arrogant and conceited, not even using his trump card in its white form, but instead using his normal black form to withstand a blow before retaliating, which was extremely insulting.

Therefore, even though the videos of the qualifying matches could not be leaked, the nickname "Black and White Demon Kings" still spread online.

But Harry didn't know, just as he didn't know that after winning this match, Li Lin would come after him.

As if electrified into water, the red plasma cannon, which finally coalesced into a single mass, shot out and struck the surface of the black light armor.

That's right, this is magic.

Harry, from the movie version of the Harry universe, is more accustomed to seeing magic in a welding-like manner, rather than in faster and simpler forms of light of various colors.

He was almost sick of seeing all sorts of light cannons, rays, and beams of light.

Now, the splashing, water-like, glowing, charged 'liquid' gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to his original world.

However, what made him feel most comfortable was the god contained within the plasma cannon that he had "devoured" along with it.

That's why he truly enjoys fighting.

The light cannons of the light armor, as well as the light beams of various light swords, are not simply accumulations of energy. They are formed by the condensation of energy, which is closer to magic, thanks to the processing of energy by the Force Furnace.

This often also contains the knight's understanding of the Force and their will.

Therefore, artillery dueling is not as technologically unsophisticated as it may appear from its appearance.

This is not merely a collision of energy itself, but also a clash of wills, wisdom, and levels of understanding of the Force.

Now, through [Devour], Harry has come to understand the opposing knight's understanding of the Force of Lightning and the Fire Force, as well as his anger and resentment.

He raised his right hand, which was shrouded in black light armor, and said, "To show my respect for you, I will defeat you based on your understanding."

This was the first time Harry had ever done this.

Even with the same level of understanding, Harry's higher quality Force, Magic Immortal Artifact, and the Force Furnace with its Magic Ring all contributed to his superior understanding.

Larger, deeper crimson plasma cannons condense and spray!

Overwhelm the other party.

("Ah, this..." Ron thought of Li Lin, just like how Phoebe had been brutally beaten yesterday.)

(More importantly, when did Harry become so strong?)

(Ron didn't disbelieve that Harry couldn't create a bombardment of equal destructive power, but rather that Harry lacked the intelligence and knowledge to replicate the enemy's skills.)

(In his eyes, only Phoebe, who had completed elementary, middle, and high school courses in interstellar space exploration, possessed the foundation for this level of knowledge.)

(Harry didn't.)

("Could it be an application of Harry's [Initial Release] ability?" Ginny didn't believe Harry had this knowledge either. She guessed, "Harry's defensive rebound ability can reflect enemy attacks back. It's not impossible that he delayed the reflection, reprocessed and enhanced the enemy's attack within his body.")

("That's certainly possible," Ron said with a sigh of relief.)

(It wasn't that he couldn't stand his brother becoming stronger, but rather that he was uncomfortable with his brother becoming a stranger.)

(Harry, like him, was only so-so in terms of written knowledge, but strong in application. The only difference between them was that Harry had a higher talent for combat, never gave up, and could always find a way to defeat his opponents in Extremis.)

Harry, who won the match and arrived at the challenge stage, did not immediately begin matchmaking.

He was closing his eyes to digest and absorb the insights he had gained from the other party.

(The audience also turned their attention to Krum, one of the three Champion had just come online and was now facing a tough opponent.)

"You are no match for me, Stanislav Krum." The knight in his magnificent golden armor remained calm, enveloped in a Jin Guang like a morning mist, and dodged Krum's attack, which had transformed into a streak of green light, with the slightest movement.

"In my domain, everything about you is under my watchful eye."

(The Dumbledore brothers, Grindelwald, and his followers recognized the voice.)

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Krum was furious.

It's not because he hasn't been able to defeat his opponent for so long.

It was because he recognized the knight in the golden armor— 'Gellert Grindelwald'.

How could he tolerate this 'enemy' of the Krum family speaking to him in such a contemptuous tone?

But he really couldn't beat his opponent if he didn't use more methods.

The domain that 'Grindelwald' spoke of was this golden, light-like, mist-like thing that he spread out.

They were like projections of nothingness, and even the sonic booms he generated when he initially flew at supersonic speeds without restraint could not shake them.

The same applies to the various spells he casts, that is, the techniques of applying the Force.

However, they also do not impede his speed in any way.

Their sole purpose was to serve as Grindelwald's eyes, and perhaps also to give Grindelwald the ability to react at his high speeds.

This superb reflexes meant that, even now, 'Grindelwald' is still at the very beginning of the arena. Apart from dealing with Krum's wide-ranging Force application techniques, he has hardly moved a step, and his Force consumption is minimal.

Krum was curious to know how Grindelwald had done it. Night Raven could dodge because he could teleport within the black mist he released, while Grindelwald in front of him simply increased his speed suddenly, then turned his head and took a step back to dodge.

But 'Grindelwald's' speed is clearly just a snail's pace compared to his own.

This frustrating feeling of using slow to beat fast made Krum unable to resist using his trump cards other than speed.

"Is that all? As Krum, you really disappoint me," 'Grindelwald' added at the opportune moment.

'Fabian, Gideon, get him!' Krum turned red.

Yes. 'x2'

The sound rang out, audible only to Krum.

The green light and shadow were split in two.

"A clone tactic?" Unlike most people who would consider it a foolish strategy, the Golden Knight said, "The Force fluctuations haven't diminished at all; there are two of you."

As they spoke, the golden mist ignited into blue flames, forming countless fire beasts with claws, tentacles, and tails that spread out, forcing the two approaching figures to retreat hastily.

"Two of you in energy-saving mode are indeed no match for me, but..."

The golden knight was also tinged with blue, as if he had become one with the flames.

"Please take a look. This magic originates from one of my illustrious relatives, whom you surely know— Protego Diabolica Modified."

(Grindelwald felt only shame, for his Protego Diabolica was far less powerful than that of the magic of the unknown descendant before him; the difference between them was greater than that between ordinary fire and the Divination Immortal Fire.)

"Be careful, that flame is dangerous." "It's like Fiendfyre, but more evil and Fiendfyre," the Prewett Brothers warned.

Krum's expression was also very serious.

Having fought so many duels, even though his battles ended quickly, he had seen Force techniques that applied fire.

After all, light, fire, and lightning are the most common elements in wizarding magic, and the New Human are no exception.

Since his opponents were all college students, and all of them were very talented, even if they couldn't keep up with his speed, they could subconsciously use their best techniques.

Let him have a good look.

The flames they created, imbued with their own understanding of the Force, or the light cannons and light blades formed from flames, were unlike ordinary fire, which was limited by temperature, flame-retardant materials, or combustibles.

They all come in different forms and have different abilities.

Some can explode continuously as they burn, some can continuously regenerate health, some can devour life, and some can trigger negative emotions.

And without exception, their power as flames should not be underestimated.

But he had never encountered anything like this before, which made him feel a sense of crisis and instinctively back away.

Most of his opponents' flames were defeated by his extreme speed, and then he would take their lives in Setsuna.

Having come from Durmstrang, he had seen Fiendfyre before, and he could even summon Fiendfyre.

As Grindelwald's unilateral enemy, he was naturally familiar with the Protego Diabolica spell, which Grindelwald had created.

Protego Diabolica is a defensive spell that Grindelwald uses to verify and protect his followers.

It can form a continuous ring of blue Fiendfyre that can block spells and enemies from entering, and only those whose beliefs align with the caster can be protected by it.

The so-called [Protego Diabolica - Modified] before us has not only undergone a dramatic increase in power, but also in its ability to distinguish friend from foe. Lifeless ground, grass, and air can all remain unharmed, just like 'Grindelwald' inside.

He only considered Krum and the Prewett Brothers as enemies.

As for how powerful it really is, Krum doesn't want to try it out; his intuition is far more reliable than any plan that takes a lot of time to develop.

'A stealthy attack from underground won't work either.' 'It seems to sense us.'

"How about... Tactic Four?"

The Prewett Brothers suggested.

"Then let's go with number four." Krum's mech retreated rapidly.

The Prewett Brothers' car sped toward Grindelwald.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that 'Grindelwald', which was no different from before, did not move its feet.

The green light and shadow clashed with the blue fire beast.

The mech, capable of flying at the third cosmic velocity (16.7 km/s), crumbled upon contact with the blue Fiendfyre, began to crack, and the flickering Spark were licked away by the flames.

Doesn't this light armor break too quickly?

Suicide attack?

It was only then that 'Grindelwald' realized what was happening.

But that's too late in high-speed warfare.

The green mecha embraced the blue humanoid figure in the flames, expanded, and exploded.

Krum, who had been flying a kilometer away in an instant, looked into the distance and saw a huge mushroom cloud spreading out from the spot.

Time and space shifted, Krum returned to the challenge platform.

("Suicide attack, they even have that trick up their sleeve!" Ron was starting to think Krum might win again. "Then Harry ... Harry! That... Li Lin!")

"Li Lin".

Harry instantly [Ultimate Liberation] and enveloped his light armor in the power of the [Magic Immortal Artifact], and the white light armor finally appeared.

Lily instantly channeled the power of various Potions into her son's body.

"Harry Potter, a worthy opponent."

"Yes, the power of Potions. Felix Felicis, Tranquilizer, Baruffio's Brain Elixir."

Just as Li Lin said, Harry's senses were very sharp due to the various Potions he had been given, and he even noticed that Li Lin was looking him up and down.

Then Li Lin blurted out, "The power of a mother's love combined with adolescent heat and the fear of death? What a disappointment. It's like a blank sheet of paper with a black spot."

(Having already known that Harry was his Horcrux, Voldemort instantly understood that his so-called fear of death originated from himself.)

("How could they analyze Harry Potter's power composition in such a short time?")

"Although the paper is still the same paper, it has lived up to its purity and innocence."

Harry was shocked. His [Magic Immortal Artifact] power and his [Path] were extensions of the power of love, yet Li Lin in front of him could see it at a glance and even analyze the source of his [Ultimate Liberation] power.

'So [Devour] is related to Voldemort.'

Then Harry heard something earth-shattering.

Do you know Phoebe Delacour?

"Your pattern is very similar to hers, no, it's the same one. I would never mistake this pattern of transcending Lesser Universe to explore and surpass oneself."

"Unlike her, you have also discovered the power of deeper patterns."

(Dumbledore surprise, "Harry has also [Ultimate Liberation]?")

(He looked at Krum, who had just defeated another opponent, and said, "You wouldn't happen to be one too, would you?")

Harry didn't answer; he didn't know how to answer.

He doesn't even know how to deal with it now.

The various primal force application techniques obtained through "devouring," and the insights into various primal forces, are still fragmented even after digestion.

His own knowledge was too shallow to unify it.

They surpassed the magic he possessed, both technically and from a divine perspective.

However, none of them could match Li Lin in front of them.

Harry's silence did not stop Li Lin from continuing to speak.

"In that case, simply using their own methods against them would be too simplistic."

"A mother's love. So let me let you experience the love of the world."

Li Lin, sitting opposite him, spread his arms wide.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

There were no sudden explosions, smoke, or flashes of light or sound.

The place before them was just as it had been when they entered: lush green grass, a clear blue sky, and lots of white clouds.

In his [Ultimate Liberation] state, Harry can be said to have combined and fully realized all of his and Lily's potential.

Lily's senses were already heightened because she had redeemed the complete set of [Magical Power Refinement].

Not to mention that Harry is now also empowered by various Potions.

But no matter how Harry observed, the world remained the same.

Until

"Fight for what you love. Harry Potter, be Enemy of Heaven."
