The Upcoming Finals
No one realized the power of Harry's chop.
After all, the power contraction only affected a small island, and the energy was so condensed that the gap it created was extremely small.
The only thing worth praising is the smoothness of the cross-section.
However, this is only everyone's opinion in the first few days.
Seeing that Harry continued to develop attack methods around this hand chop, even Ron realized that it was no ordinary weapon.
However, among the four Champion, Phoebe and Cedric were the most impressive.
In these days, everyone has witnessed Phoebe bring the Light Armor Build to life from nothing, and the Magic Fiber was also brought to life in the same way.
The latter delighted the Squib in the Wizarding World, as it meant they would have a stable source of Magic Fiber in the future.
Some insightful figures in the Wizarding World are also considering whether to grant magic to some Muggle who know about the Wizarding World.
Cedric, after acquiring his Lesser Universe, can reduce a hundred-meter-high mountain to dust with a single punch, even without wearing his light armor.
Even if he doesn't know the technique of unleashing his Lesser Universe, the power he condenses into his fists, feet, and magic is still earth-shattering.
Not to mention the light armor that can greatly amplify the Force.
It truly embodies the self, showcasing the most powerful application of the Force.
This power has led many wizards to take the risk of trying to simultaneously combine the Heart of White Magic.
St Mungo's's Hospital was overcrowded.
If it weren't for the several live broadcasts that greatly improved the level of the Wizarding World and led to a leap forward in St Mungo's's healing magic, there might have been more wizards who lost their lives.
The Ministry of Magic and various authoritative media outlets issued a statement warning people not to act rashly.
Dumbledore even shared his own insights.
As long as you are willing to focus on both Heart of White Magic simultaneously each day, and stop when you encounter rejection, this rejection will gradually fade away over time.
With Dumbledore's insights being revealed, most wizards gave up on cultivating their Lesser Universe.
Because the Heart of White Magic is so useful, it's like a low-end version of the Force Furnace, making magic faster, more stable, and less prone to errors.
When used on Summoning Card, it causes beneficial mutations in the Magical Creature within, and the bond between the wizard and them becomes even stronger. In a time when everyone has a Summoning Card and dueling has become a trend, the Heart of White Magic is something that no one can abandon.
Because it eliminates the worry of housework, housewives' lives become incredibly stable and easy to manage, allowing them to have more personal time.
Public officials are also becoming more accustomed to using Apparition when traveling. In the past, they were afraid of accidentally Splinching when using it, but now they can reliably teleport by simply thinking of how to recreate the apparition without trying to perform better.
Voldemort scoffed at Dumbledore's insights.
He believed this was a way to fool people and whitewash reality.
The reason why the fairies can create their Lesser Universe after comprehending the Cosmic Force is because their "possessions"—the "Magic Immortal Artifact" and the magical spirits—are powerful enough.
Most wizards in the Wizarding World, even if they are willing to spend time polishing, will only end up with two magical hearts of opposite natures, a higher quality of magic created by the coexistence of light and darkness, good and evil, and a faint outline of Lesser Universe that requires a huge amount of time to fill.
As for why Voldemort was so certain.
Because he had personally tested it.
Let's go back a month to the day Cedric condensed his Lesser Universe.
In the basement of the Royal Society of London, in the room containing rows of Voldemort's clones, Voldemort lies in the center of a circular Magic Circle, appearing as a cold corpse.
Ravenclaw's Diadem, Hufflepuff's Cup, Slytherin's Locket, and Gaunt's Ring.
They were evenly placed next to the magic circle.
These Voldemort's last remaining Horcrux (Nagini wasn't Horcrux yet). After Voldemort created these clones that allowed him to resurrect repeatedly, and the approximate locations of the Horcrux were revealed live, he collected them one by one.
Today, they are to be used as surplus value, allowing him to master the Lesser Universe.
There was no sunlight in the room, only Potions glowing with a fluorescent green light in a transparent glass jar, which, combined with the pale body inside, gave off a sinister and terrifying feeling.
The most terrifying thing now is that, as time goes by, starting from the first row, the clones in the glass jars open their eyes one by one in sequence, and then bleed from their seven orifices and die.
The Horcrux beside the Magic Circle also began to tremble slightly.
With a sharp crack, Slytherin's Locket shattered, emitting a piercing scream before flowing out dark blood.
It's like a horror story.
All of this stems from Voldemort, who lies Silencio in the center of the Magic Circle, like a corpse.
His mental world is undergoing a violent explosion.
The black and white magic hearts continued to coalesce and collide.
After the explosion, the clone he temporarily possessed died, and he then moved on to the next one.
At the same time, this almost triggered a massive explosion of the soul, which was transferred to the Horcrux through a magic circle.
In fact, this kind of explosion should not have shattered the Horcrux.
However, after each explosion, the condensed Heart of White Magic becomes even stronger, and the subsequent explosions become even more powerful.
Thus, unknowingly, with each condensation, the explosion generated by the collision of the two exceeded the upper limit of the Horcrux magic.
Ultimately, this resulted in Voldemort losing a Horcrux that was no longer valuable, as well as many valuable but replicable clones.
However, Voldemort, who had just awakened in the tenth glass jar from the second row, couldn't help but smile.
He could already feel the repulsion between the two shrinking. If they weren't growing stronger so quickly, the explosion caused by their mutual repulsion would also have shrunk, becoming almost negligible for him who possessed the Horcrux.
Finally, with only the last row of clones remaining and only the Horcrux Gaunt's Ring.
The Heart of White Magic in Voldemort's mind no longer repelled each other, but coexisted.
As they revolve around each other, their energies intertwine and promote each other.
However, the Lesser Universe he thought would emerge was just a prototype.
It's nothing compared to what Cedric showed in the video.
He's not even as good as Basil Granger from Hogwarts.
At the Heart of White Magic, this nascent form was slowly perfecting itself. Neither the magic he actively poured in nor the last piece of soul sacrificed in the Gaunt family ring could speed it up.
So Voldemort, who had originally planned to run to Dumbledore in the Wizarding World and declare that he would protect the Muggle World from now on and that wizards should stay away from the Muggle World and avoid affecting the scientific magic circle, chickened out again.
Prepare to patiently wait for the nascent Proto-Universe to be perfected.
In short, Voldemort believed that Dumbledore's method was too time-consuming, with the adjustment phase alone taking hundreds of years, not to mention the time it would take for the Proto-Universe to perfect itself.
The time it took for him to perfect himself, given that he so vividly created the explosion, is estimated to be over a thousand years.
Those who take the shortcut that Dumbledore might have to wait even longer.
If it weren't for the fact that wizards' lifespans have now been extended to tens of thousands of years, he would probably say that he's misleading people.
Basil was quite surprised that Voldemort had created the rudiments of Lesser Universe.
If he hadn't been paying attention, the Killing Curse he had placed on Voldemort would probably have been discovered.
But what surprised Basil the most was that Voldemort had managed to reclaim most of his soul in this way.
Those Soul Fragment that shattered as a price in the explosion have actually become part of the embryonic Proto-Universe.
In fact, Voldemort could even sacrifice his own self, his main soul, into it.
If this state of being a corpse is maintained for a hundred years, the Lesser Universe will be successfully perfected, which will take less than the hundred years Voldemort predicted.
But Basil still needed Voldemort's help, so he naturally wouldn't let him do that.
However, even if he didn't affect Voldemort, Voldemort himself probably wouldn't have done so.
The Wizarding World is developing rapidly. If Voldemort were to remain dormant for a hundred years, he would probably be outdated by the time he wakes up. Perhaps even first-year students at Hogwarts wouldn't be able to defeat him. The joke of Voldemort being suppressed by the Prefect in the Magic Immortal World might become a reality.
This could indeed be true.
This can be seen from the current Hogwarts, which is full of Wude.
"Crush it! Ripper!"
It's hard to imagine that Fred would have shouted those words.
Through a benign mutation, the Acromantula, resembling a jade carving, leaped and hung on the back of the equally benignly mutated crimson Hungarian Horntail.
Before the venomous, sickle-like green spider legs could exert any force, the red scales sizzled like a branding iron touching water. The sharp spider legs pierced deep into the dragon's wings, tearing them apart. The sharp mandibles bit down hard on the dragon's neck, injecting even more potent venom.
However, the summoner who was controlling the fire dragon and was of one mind with it did not show any pain. His face was pale and the ferocious smile on his lips was perfectly matched with the audience around him who seemed to be clapping with red eyes.
The bloody and intense battles deeply immerse both summoners and spectators, greatly increasing their tolerance for pain, making it as commonplace as eating a meal.
Even if Bellatrix escapes Azkaban now and uses the Cruciatus Curse to ambush a student, that student would remain unfazed, summon an Acromantula, and bite off Bellatrix's head.
It can only be said that the popularity of Summoning Card, the popularity of monster battles, the closer integration of summoning monsters and wizards after the emergence of White Magic, and the frustration and longing of not being able to participate in the Cosmic Selection Competition have all contributed to the way we are now.
In fact, the close bond between summoned beasts and wizards is not only reflected on the Mind Stone level, giving wizards a touch of bestiality.
On a physical level, they can also be combined.
Now, every wizard who possesses Acromantula can grow eight Spider Spear of various colors on their back to cosplay as Tang Shenwang and spit Silk to impersonate Spider-Man.
Ron can grow Bird Serpent wings and control the expansion of his body parts, which makes Lavender very happy.
Hermione can grow cat ears, a cat tail, and Wampus Cat eyes that can Legilimency, making her gaze as clear as autumn water, Chu Chu. In this state, she is also bolder and more clingy to Basil.
Pansy is the same; she can use the abilities of a spirit cat and can also split into two.
As for Luna, if she had the wide wings of Thestral and a pointed tail, she could cosplay as a succubus. If she only had the white pupils of Thestral and dyed her hair black, she could also play Hinata.
Therefore, Basil was very satisfied with this development.
You don't need to travel to the world of monster girls to do it.
To this end, he even specially gifted Kate, who was slacking off in the Muggle World, Nine-Tailed Fox he created, so that she could make cards and thus enjoy the pleasure of being King Zhou.
Later, he created several more Magical Creature: pale blue, transparent slimes; flower fairies with enchanting fragrances; noble and sacred swans that looked as if they were cast in silver; and magnificent golden tree spirits.
They were given to Kate thus became a vampire with a large capacity.
Thus, the bouncy slime girl, the flower fairy, the angel with silver wings, and the Sovereign woman with golden skin and hair from Marvel were born.
I'm so happy here, I don't even miss home!
Because of this, Basil almost forgot to go to school. Fortunately, he now not only possesses the Destined Twins, but also the power of Krum [Magic Immortal Artifact]. He can be in multiple positions at the same time.
And so, the day came to June 5th, the last day before the final.
The ten contestants logged on again at 2 PM.
They all know that today is not as good as the past two months, and the top 50 contestants who have been training with them for more than two months are eager to launch a final assault.
Harry and Phoebe rubbed their hands together, anticipating the battle.
Cedric wanted to slack off for a bit, but he also wanted to use his Lesser Universe to blast an enemy to pieces.
While thinking about tonight's training, Krum also felt equally uncertain about the challenge, which was like Schrödinger's cat. If there was no challenge, he could observe his opponent now and free up more training time. If there was a challenge, he could hone his tactics.
But their hopes were dashed.
Just like three months ago, no one chose to challenge the top six students.
The first to be targeted was the Invincible Andros.
His opponent was the 11th-ranked rider, the one who wielded the Night Raven. Along with the Chaos Mist, a murky and dark Force also spread out.
They clung to the moon-white armor, which was enveloped in the radiance of the Patronus, like a poison that seeps into the bone.
Between the collision of the filthy Force and the holy Force, there is also the intertwining of the Mind Stone.
False memories fade away, while true memories surface.
The Patronus's radiance began to flicker, Smoke Sword absorbed the excess black smoke, condensing into a blade that slashed towards Andros's neck.
The sound of metal clashing together could be heard.
"What!"
"Finally, these memories have been released." Andros exclaimed, the Patronus radiance on his body began to darken and flow to his right hand. "True invincibility requires the test of real memories, I just didn't expect it to be now."
"You challenged me three times, found logical flaws in my words, and then developed this Force application technology in a targeted manner."
("What!" Ron exclaimed in surprise, "This is also one of his weapons, a foreshadowing he planted!")
Facing the black smoke cloud released by the other side again, Andros retreated rapidly without stopping them. He simply focused on condensing his light cannon. "I thought I would recall everything in front of Lady Delacour, then unleash my power and win."
"But since things have come to this, let's test the power of my emotional breakdown first."
("But the opponent is in the fog, aren't they aiming?" Ron continued to complain.)
The black beam of light blasted into the black cloud of smoke.
It seems to have used smoke and clouds as a medium for transmission.
The crackling and popping sounds resembled black flames or a black swamp spreading through the fog.
("You really don't need to aim!" Ron exclaimed.)
Rumble!
Finally, with a loud bang.
Andros withdrew from the match, securing the victory.
