The Top Ten Decided
("This has nothing to do with the Lesser Universe, it's about the Complete Formula Solver!" Ron retorted.)
("The one who's really impressive is Li Lin. This is his own creation," Neville offered a different opinion.)
(This was actually quite rare in the past, but since the fake Professor Moody's words and seeing how he behaved in various parallel universes, he has become much braver.)
(On the other side, Amos Diggory was somewhat relieved, "Sed has finally stopped tanking.")
Cedric was just beginning to feel a little curious about the Lesser Universe.
At Castelobruxo Magic University, his education also included lessons on understanding the Cosmic Force.
Even though the professor, atop the Astronomy Tower, unleashed a rich Cosmic Force from the Starlight he guided, allowing them to immerse themselves in it, his understanding of the Cosmic Force remained largely detached from reality.
Because it is different from life, the Solar Force, etc.
The universe is too vast. The manifested Cosmic Force and the Cosmic Genshin Crystal are all aspects of the universe as understood by the primal force masters, and are all their perspectives.
The Force of other substances, systems, or phenomena is the product of the combination of Mind Stone, that is, the Wisdom Force, and the corresponding substance, system, or phenomenon. In this case, a Force Master can restrain his superfluous thoughts, and the Force generated will only possess the mysteries inherent in the corresponding substance, system, or phenomenon itself.
Unlike the Genshin Crystal from private workshops, which, besides possessing the inherent mysteries of the corresponding matter, system, and phenomenon, are also imbued with the humanistic perspective of Primal Masters—that is, the added value humans attribute to these matter, systems, and phenomena beyond their inherent mysteries, and the humanistic viewpoints they offer—for example: water is the Source of Life; water benefits all without contention; water...
However, the Cosmic Force and Cosmic Genshin Crystal are different. They are either pieced together from other Forces and Genshin Crystal, using the Mind Stone of corresponding Force Masters as adhesives and their Cosmic View as the framework for planning and shaping, or they are directly extracted from Cosmic Knight who possess Lesser Universe.
Their production methods dictate that they are primarily driven by humanistic sensibilities.
Therefore, even though Cedric possesses the super light and dark force affinity that every Champion has, which makes him most likely to master the Cosmic Force, his Cosmic Force has always remained at the beginner level.
Every wizard, or New Human, uses their Mind Stone to overcome reality in order to cast spells.
Therefore, the ideas and concepts of others who use magic are, unless it's a perfect match like Boya and Ziqi, impurities for the individual.
Therefore, Cedric prefers to experience the easily accessible and pure life force: the sun, the Dadi, Fire Force.
Or it may be about combining one's mind with the corresponding matter, system, and phenomenon, and using one's own Wisdom Force to generate and stimulate the primal force that is most suitable for one's own understanding.
After all, the Cosmic Force cannot be derived and activated by the Wisdom Force. Comprehending the Cosmic Force does not mean that one can create one's own Lesser Universe.
The power of the [Ultimate Liberation] that he discovered not long ago also needs to be explored, and he has not yet completed the [Path] of the Dark Magic Fairy.
Let's forget about studying the world's most profound magic.
But now...
His views began to change.
Riddle was the same. He had been focusing on studying the True Form of the summoned Fantastic Beasts through the Chaos Nest, but he found that by simply reproducing them on instinct, he also developed a desire to explore the Cosmic Force that he had initially ignored.
Unlike the other two, Krum, who had early access to the technology for opening up Lesser Universe, never considered learning it.
He only learned the source of good from the dual sources of good and evil, which is known by the people in the Wizarding World, or the audience, as the Heart of White Magic.
He devoted all his energy to exploring the Dark Magic Fairy's [Path].
He has now surpassed Harry in terms of the "path".
If Cedric hadn't consistently played QQ Farm and learned the forms of the massive new species of Magical Creature in the Star Era, he would probably be number one in the [Road] modification progress right now.
This level of refinement manifests in him as a bizarre, charlatan-like stance.
In physical form, it is not possible to travel faster than light like in ghost form.
However, with the help of the magical force field that appeared around him, he was able to absorb all the extra products generated at extreme speeds (such as sonic booms at Supersonic) as energy, while his main body would not suffer any impact from extreme speeds.
However, he can also use the charlatan's force field to launch an attack with the rapidly approaching impact.
In layman's terms, his body is not affected by extreme speed, but it carries the kinetic energy brought about by extreme speed.
In other words, he now doesn't need any Force application technology at all; he just needs to run at high speed, fly, and then crash into it.
If additional force is applied, such as by throwing a punch or drawing a lightsaber from the wings, the resulting attack power is not simply added together, but increases exponentially.
Basil was very surprised.
Although he did design this "path," it was merely a seed that miraculously bore fruit similar to the Speed Force on Krum.
While other Champion were absorbing everything in this world to nourish themselves, Krum, who persisted on the path of the Magic Immortal World, delivered a different answer.
This prompted Basil to approach Krum ahead of time.
He had originally planned to schedule Krum for tomorrow, the last day of the points-based competition.
But now.
"Stanislav Krum!"
Without the faceplate, Krum's sweaty face would definitely have been exposed.
That gaze seemed to see right through him in an instant.
Even though his speed had already increased to this level, reaching the third cosmic velocity under normal conditions and the limit of the light armor he was wearing, the head of the light armor opposite him shifted slightly with his movement at extreme speed, and even had time to emit an Information Wave.
You should know that even yesterday's 'Grindelwald' and the knight piloting the Kabuto couldn't keep up with his current speed.
In particular, he can now wield the force field around his body as if it were his own arm.
The killing intent planted by the knight piloting the Kabuto was perfectly timed. Normally, the neck would have collided with the Force Blade due to inertia, but instead, the fist stopped abruptly at an abnormal moment, unaffected by the reaction force, delivering a supermassive punch with the kinetic energy granted by extreme speed.
And now, within the atmosphere, the flight at the third cosmic velocity did not cause a violent explosion or the burning of air.
Everything was transformed into the physical body that was modified by the "Path," and the energy should be named the Force of Speed.
However.
Even with such great progress, he still failed.
As he retreated rapidly, Krum thought with frustration.
He recognized Li Lin immediately and, at maximum speed, drew his lightsaber, concentrating all his understanding of the Force onto the blade to launch a sneak attack.
However, he was still caught and had no choice but to retreat.
He had long known that Li Lin was very strong. If Li Lin unleashed his Lesser Universe and created a black hole like in the video, perhaps only by transforming into Ghost Form and flying at superluminal speed could he escape.
However, if he were to use this speed of computation that transcends the Virtual Universe, his data would likely be instantly deemed dead and removed from the battlefield.
"The nature of the Force within you is very interesting. The Force of Speed is truly rare, even rarer than the Time Force."
"Another liberator. You're friends with Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory, Phoebe Delacour, aren't you?"
"You are all special."
"Harry Potter's energy is incredibly pure, Cedric Diggory's heart harbors a unique Life Force, Phoebe Delacour's heart power can directly influence reality through her fingertips, and the Force circuitry in your body is so ingenious that it can grow through cycles."
"But these are all minor details. The most interesting thing is the ability you develop by liberating yourself."
"Show me what you're capable of."
Several seconds had passed. Although Krum was unlikely to have escaped the atmosphere, based on the definition of the closest Star Track to Earth—that is, once Rocket launches a satellite into this orbit, it can be said that the satellite has entered space—he was probably close to escaping the atmosphere.
Even so, the Information Wave still followed him into his mind.
What shocked Krum even more was that Li Lin saw right through him at a glance.
Moreover, it wasn't just him; the other three Champion had also fought against him and had seen through his abilities.
They not only learned about the items they redeemed in the [Trial Shop], but also about the existence of the [Magic Immortal Artifact].
The only thing I haven't figured out is the inheritance emblem of the Dark Magic Fairy [Path] hidden among the elves, which surpasses even the Gold Fairy.
However, Li Lin also saw the results of its physical transformation and pointed out the Force of Speed.
This is simply...
"Let's go together!" the Prewett Brothers responded. "Let's see just how strong he really is!"
The speeding green light and shadow split in two. The wings behind him, which were originally used for acceleration but were now useless for his speed, converged into a giant lightsaber, dragging him back in the direction he came from.
But even when attacked by two of them, the humanoid figure formed from the starry sky in front of him easily dodged the attacks.
He even sensed fluctuations in the Force of Speed from Li Lin.
But what he found even more unbearable was Li Lin's verbal torture.
"Interesting. Creating another version of yourself. A complete copy, including the [Force Furnace] and [Light Armor], and it can even accelerate cultivation efficiency."
"However, if you can grow four times more efficiently, why are you so weak?"
"With that wondrous circuit, you should be the one with the most Force among the four, but you're ranked last."
Krum: I was so busy flying around in the Virtual Universe that I forgot to activate the [Magical Circuit]!
In fact, it's because the magic power gained from operating the [Magical Circuit] is not as great as the magic power gained from improving the [Path] through full-speed flight in the Virtual Universe.
However, this was only before the discovery of the [Ultimate Liberation]. The improvement of the [Path] caused by flying at four times the efficiency could not reach four times because there were two bodies and the modifications could not be stacked. However, the [Magical Circuit] was different.
Given this balance of power, operating the [Magical Circuit] is the optimal choice.
Furthermore, flying and operating the [Magical Circuit] are not contradictory.
He can operate even after he goes offline.
But
It's too late now.
He has become the one with the least Force among the four.
("I remember Krum had six [Magic Ring]," Ron remarked. "The two [Magical Circuit] and four units of [Pure Magical Power] he exchanged made him the Champion with the most magic.")
("But now it's actually last.")
(Most viewers also found it hard to understand. From their perspective, they couldn't see Phoebe's complete absorption of the Genshin Crystal, Harry's ability to absorb enemy Force through "Devour" and use technology, the surge in his own Force when he was injured, or the progress that those Magical Creature of the Star Era brought to Cedric.)
(At most, they can only see the abundant reserve energy Cedric gained from turning the [Energy Amethyst] into Summoning Card.)
(Basil was also somewhat speechless. Krum, an employee he had never paid much attention to, had finally submitted a satisfactory report card—the Mystic Force Field—but then he faltered in his area of expertise.)
(Therefore, he couldn't help but remind Li Lin that the other three were either not ambitious enough, or simply gave up, or only knew how to absorb trivial details and ignored their true selves, but this one could have done 100 points, but only achieved 90 points due to negligence.)
"You've learned our techniques?" "How is that possible!" the Prewett Brothers exclaimed in surprise after missing Li Lin once again.
"It seems your condition is more severe than the other three. They only have two personalities, while you have three," Li Lin, who had transformed into Starlight, replied. "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? If not, I'll make my move."
Now that the reminder has been delivered, Basil has no need to delay any longer.
Krum was speechless in the face of Li Lin's words.
Against other opponents, he can use his even greater speed to have another version of himself grab them, acting as a human bomb.
That's how Grindelwald, who was more skilled than him at the time, was defeated by him.
But Li Lin was even faster than him.
"So there isn't one?" Li Lin raised his right fist, which shimmered with Starlight. "Then..."
"The Milky Way—"
The Star Shadow had already appeared beside the main body's ear—
"Star--"
A fist appeared before my eyes—
"Burst!"
The kinetic energy from the extreme speed converged on the fist formed from cosmic stars and shattered Krum's head.
"What a fast punch!" Krum exclaimed, scratching his head as he returned to the challenge platform after his defeat.
It happened so fast that he didn't even feel the pain with his senses before his head was blasted apart.
That punch was powerful and forceful, with strong teeth and powerful teeth!
Time quickly passed to the third day.
The top ten have also been determined.
First place: Li Lin
Second place: Stanislav Krum
Third place: Cedric Diggory
Fourth place: Harry Potter
Fifth place: Phoebe Delacour
Sixth place: Gellert Grindelwald
Seventh place: The Invincible Andros
Eighth place: Derwent Simplin
Ninth place: Robert McGonagall
10th Place: GT Seaborg
Of course, this is only the first-year university stage.
The second-year "Voldemort" wasn't in this stage; he was among the top ten in the second year, ranking first.
