Cosmic Star God

Cedric had no idea that it was almost his turn.

He's currently curious about a set of light armor that doesn't look simple at all.

"What's the name of the mech on the other side?" Cedric asked. "It sounds a bit like [Silver Miracle]."

Although he is still slacking off in battle, his near-death experience has made him start to ask his external brain, Riddle, for advice.

The only difference between this suit of light armor and the one used by Li Lin's opponent in the points competition, [Silver Miracle], is that it lacks those constantly vibrating, blue-glowing blades.

If it is also made of [Cosmic Mithril], then tactics like stacking damage through beast tides need to be abandoned.

[Cosmic Mithril] can absorb all known forms of energy.

It can only penetrate by relying on a momentary high peak output.

"It's not [Cosmic Mithril], but it's not much weaker either." Riddle's voice was somewhat gloomy.

The Cosmic Dinosaur that shook the Dadi and sky was shattered with a single punch.

The phoenix, singing an inspiring and restorative hymn, had its neck snapped.

The Space Jellyfish that unleashed its frenzied thunder was torn apart.

The Thousand-Eyed Peacock returned home with its Jin Guang wings broken.

The silver knight approached the armored figure amidst the horde of animals without using any Force-related techniques, relying solely on his fists and feet.

All the energy attacks that struck his porcelain-like light armor were shattered by the vibrating white light waves that appeared on its surface.

Their fighting style is unique, unlike the typical style where players use their mechs as wands and unleash projectiles at each other.

They don't seem like New Human derived from wizards; they're more like fighters.

(Ron was quite excited; he had finally seen a melee-style melee armor.)

"A unified whole, without flaws or omissions." Riddle narrowed his eyes.

This time he used Information Wave.

After experiencing the Magic Immortal World, he began to learn Dragon Country and can now use some idioms.

As for whether Cedric could understand it or not, the invention of the Information Wave greatly diminished the status of language and writing as a tool for communication.

To Cedric, it was as if "his Force, his physical body, and his light armor were perfectly integrated, without a single flaw."

In fact, Cedric doesn't even need the translation of Information Wave.

He didn't watch martial arts games, TV series, and movies for nothing.

In fact, he's having a blast right now.

Immerse yourself in the Silver Knight, imagine yourself as a warrior, use various powerful martial arts to defeat opponents one by one, and get closer to the final enemy.

'The wind swept away the buildings!' 'Swift and decisive!' 'The divine wind howled!'

'Braving snow and frost!' 'Unrivaled in frost!' 'Covered in frost marks!'

However.

The happy time came to an end quickly.

The Silver Knight stopped in his tracks. "Cedric Diggory, are you oblivious or doing this on purpose?"

"Your mech is clearly a real-world device, just like mine, and the Mecha Force is perfectly aligned with it."

"But you seem completely unaware of this power."

("What is the Mecha Force?" Ron was a little confused.)

("That's obvious, isn't it?" Hermione, leaning against Basil, rolled her eyes. "'Krum' said the universe was too big to be absorbed as a whole, and Build all those weird, Full Bottle: motorcycles, tanks.")

("This actually shows that anything, any individual, can be connected with through the Mind Stone, giving rise to the corresponding primal force.")

("The Mecha Force is no exception.")

("Perhaps, the Mecha Force that you comprehend, when used on the corresponding Light Armor, will naturally fit more perfectly, just like how we use our own magic—that is, the Wisdom Force —as if it were our own arm. Reaching a state where it feels like a unified whole, without any flaws or omissions.")

("In this case, the original light armor is not weak either. Using more precious materials and technologies to create a light armor might actually be inferior to using the original.")

("Alternatively, you could spend money to have the original light armor modified offline, and then gradually adjust it.")

Cedric understood what the Silver Knight was saying, but he didn't understand when the Silver Knight had grasped the Force of the Legacy Armor he was wearing.

"Groudon!" Riddle reacted first.

The Armored Groudon is more like a Phantom Beast with a living physical body.

Cedric's [True Form], which grants him control over all beasts and allows him to innovate upon them, has long since transformed Groudon into a form of himself.

He and Cedric had actually discovered this long ago, which is why Cedric and Groudon a perfect match.

But they never considered the Mecha Force.

Because this obscure Force is not considered the right path by the professors of the school's Knight Major.

They didn't teach it at all.

The true path lies in comprehending the Cosmic Force and, consequently, having the privilege of creating Lesser Universe.

While the Mecha Force is powerful, it is too dependent on the mechs themselves.

Only a professional Mecha Engineer can truly understand mechs through a passion for them.

However, they generally do not directly comprehend the whole, but rather grasp the primal force of a certain core component.

"Is this the source of your power?" Cedric realized this after Riddle's reminder.

The white external armor detached from the body and transformed into the feathered serpent, Cedric [True Form].

The crimson light armor beneath was revealed.

A gigantic Beast Shadows in spikes and its entire body wrapped in red, sheet-like skin roared to the sky before merging with the light armor.

He tried to throw a punch.

"Well done!" The Silver Knight responded with a punch of his own, ignoring the white feathered serpent circling in the sky and the Fantastic Beasts it summoned. His eyes were fixed on the crimson fist shadow that shone like a meteor and was astonishing.

"I'm so strong now!" Amidst the explosion that stretched for miles after their punches, Cedric looked at his fist, which was enveloped in crimson armor.

Now, his fists are his strongest spell!

He tilted his head back and raised his left leg to kick at the silver shadow that was rushing in from the dust.

The Dadi and sky trembled as the bodies collided.

Unlike the Silver Armor, whose abilities are entirely focused on defense.

The crimson armor's heat caused the Dadi's growth potential to be released with the movement of the limbs. On the virtual blue planet that served as the arena, crimson spread out, and boiling magma replaced the Dadi.

Where it meets the azure sea, boiling water vapor rises and falls as rain after cooling.

As the scene changed to a place suitable for Cedric, Present Body the armored Groudon, to unleash his power, his power also expanded.

The force of the planet's rotation seems to be connected to it.

Even with the silver armor's defensive power pushed to its limit, it was still pierced through by the crimson fist shadow.

The silver armor did not shatter; in its state of true oneness with the Force and the knight within, it resembled a solid statue.

Therefore, when faced with a penetrating attack, and having borne the force as a whole, it Diffindo, defying the laws of physics.

There was no blood at the break, only the same silvery, watery cross-section.

On the challenge platform, Cedric grinned from ear to ear, still basking in the joy of his fantasy becoming reality.

Clad in light armor, he has now truly become a warrior. The Force flows through his body, increasing the power of his fists and feet. With a wave of his limbs, he can change the color of the wind and clouds and shake the earth.

There is absolutely no need to expend Mental Power weaving energy or using complex Force application techniques.

Just follow your instincts and feel the urge to throw a punch.

"Next opponent, come on!"

"Eat mine"

The smile on his face disappeared, and he obediently put on the external armor. Then he quickly retreated, dropping Fantastic Beasts along the way to buy time.

(The audience also became tense.)

(The video's perspective is no longer following Cedric, but rather focusing on the humanoid figure formed from the condensed cosmic space.)

"So this is how the [Chaos Nest] works?"

As they spoke, a phoenix flew out from the humanoid starry sky.

"Hmm, this phoenix still needs further upgrades! This arrangement and combination of Force... digging into itself, integrating the Wisdom Force... Wow! Such stable characteristics, it can even incorporate consciousness."

(The audience began to doubt everything they were seeing.)

(They knew how terrifying the "Complete Formula Solver" was, but even so, they couldn't imagine that Li Lin could deduce the method of energy-based magic from the Fantastic Beasts that Cedric summoned, which possessed the "True Form.")

(Before their very eyes, it created its own spirit from nothing.)

(And the appearance of this elf.)

A humanoid hand, seemingly supporting the cosmic starry sky, holds up an ever-expanding elliptical cosmic bubble suspended above it.

"Has the essence of my Lesser Universe materialized?"

("His elven form is actually a universe." Dumbledore's facial muscles twitched.)

("The essence of the Lesser Universe," Voldemort had long since regained his rationality, pondered, "The source of the immortality of the ghost, the aggregate of magical spirits, the manifestation of the self, the essence of the Lesser Universe. Are they all the same thing?")

(Hand pressed against the beating chest, "An ethereal heart?")

"It seems like this is also possible?"

(What shocked the audience even more was that the cosmic bubble also transformed into a human form, then faded away, forming another Li Lin.)

(Turning elves into humans, Great Magic Immortal!)

"Interesting, my physical body also seems to have acquired the properties of immortality."

("It's really true!" Ron murmured in a dreamlike voice, "The only one who can live forever as a fairy— the Great Magic Immortal!")

(The camera returns to Cedric.)

"Have they caught up yet?" Cedric asked, panting.

He has already left this planet and entered space.

The battlefields of the Virtual Universe are incredibly vast, appearing randomly in various locations, but most of the time they are on a single planet.

But it's also possible to travel to outside the planet.

"Why don't we just surrender?" Riddle, who had witnessed everything Li Lin had done through the eyes of the Fantastic Beasts and the audience, spoke out for the first time in such a pathetic way, "We have no chance of winning. We might as well just surrender and withdraw from the competition."

(The audience was very understanding, even Voldemort; everything Li Lin had shown was beyond everyone's comprehension.)

(It's normal to act irrationally when faced with things beyond one's understanding.)

"It's just a competition." Riddle's retreat only emboldened Cedric. "Fighting a powerful opponent, even if you lose, is a valuable experience. Although I don't like Bu Jingyun, I admire his courage to challenge Di Shitian."

"Yes, it's just a game." Riddle regained his composure.

Crimson Tribulation Fire descended from the sky.

The white feathered serpent's form continued to spread, its body still in space, while its head meandered across the Dadi.

It grows endlessly, much like the mythical world python Jörmungandr, which can coil around the entire world.

"The Mecha Force is perfectly round and flawless," Li Lin exclaimed. "But... why not unleash it? Phoebe Delacour, Harry Potter's friend?"

"The other you has indeed been liberated, and you are no longer a half-baked person like Miss Delacour. You have transformed all the potential you have learned into the feathered serpent that represents your true self, abandoning the extraordinary abilities of the beasts and replacing them with near-infinite potential to transform and grow."

"But you can too, can't you?"

("It seems Li Lin can't distinguish between Riddle and Cedric either, and treats Riddle as another personality of Cedric," Ron remarked.)

(Seamus scoffed, "Needless to say, this is the work of the Behind-the-Scenes God.")

From the magma- Dadi, crimson armor emerged from the surface. "He chose the Feathered Serpent, I chose Groudon."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire planet turned crimson, as if it were composed entirely of liquid magma.

The feathered serpent ignored the high temperature and instantly evolved the corresponding resistance.

"Is that so? The main body was changed to match the mecha. You can still use your abilities like this, interesting," Li Lin's voice held a hint of distress. "But I don't want to be Beast."

(Having witnessed his battle with Harry Phoebe, the audience instantly understood that, just as Li Lin had mastered Harry's love abilities and developed new ones, he must have also learned Cedric's [Magic Immortal Artifact] abilities.)

"I almost forgot, humans can also be considered a kind of Beast."

"What?" Cedric didn't understand Li Lin's words.

Looking up, Li Lin's figure had disappeared.

"Look up!" Riddle, whose body was still halfway up in space, had already noticed something was wrong. He shouted sharply, and the huge snake head seemed to freeze.

Cedric looked up.

It was daytime just a moment ago, but now it's shrouded in the curtain of night, with stars twinkling within! The stars are moving, following the patterns of the hand armor as it retracts!

A gigantic hand is enveloping the entire planet!

"It's too late!" Riddle's enormous body crashed into the planet.

Giant hands clasped together

On the challenge stage, Cedric's eyes lost their sparkle.

Even now, he can't forget the moment when his senses were pushed to their limits.

The colossal star god stretched out his body in space, with stars swirling around him. Only the sun, 1.3 million times the Dadi, remained magnificent and did not pale in comparison.

Compared to that, the feeling of being crushed along with the entire planet is nothing.

"Are we really all college students, contestants in the Cosmic Selection Competition?" Cedric asked incredulously.

He had seen highlights from previous Cosmic Selection Competition, but none of them were as powerful as Li Lin, who worked tirelessly day and night, and could manipulate celestial bodies with his bare hands.

"His extraordinary, even world-surpassing power is because of us!" Riddle sighed. "He learned things from the Magic Immortal World from us: the Magic Spiritization, the abilities of our [Magic Immortal Artifact]."

"Yes, and Harry and Phoebe too. They both seem to have fought with Li Lin as well," Cedric said. "Is this learning ability due to his Lesser Universe? Looks like I have to get serious."
