The Inheritance of a Name

The knight who fought Derwent Simplin was ranked lower and wore light armor that looked like it was made of green jelly.

It is clear that he developed a targeted Force application technique to counter Derwent Simplin's fighting style.

The green gelatinous substance began to multiply from him and enveloped the entire area.

The light armor and the knight himself were well concealed by their similar color and texture.

Derwent Simplin's fist, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, became weak and powerless upon landing on the green gelatinous substance. The green gelatinous substance trembled violently, dissipating all its force.

Then, his fist dented further, as the absorbing force not only targeted his fist but also his Force.

"How is this possible!" the green jelly knight exclaimed, his smile vanishing instantly.

"The perfect and flawless nature of the Mecha Force is beyond your comprehension!"

Derwent Simplin focused the Force at a single point, directing it in the direction of the suction—towards the knight within the green, gelatinous substance.

The bouncy, gelatinous substance hardened, its surface cracked, and light burst from the cracks, then expanded and exploded.

Derwent Simplin held onto his ranking.

The same applies to the remaining Robert McGonagall and GT Seaborg.

But the two also revealed their trump card, or rather, the new technology they had developed over the past few months.

Faced with challengers who developed his idealistic technique to extract the Force from low temperatures, Robert McGonagall revealed that his "Molecular Interference Device" could not only slow down the thermal motion of molecules to create low temperatures, but it could also speed up them to create high temperatures that could melt gold and burn iron.

Facing the Coordinator who pilots the [Spatial Vortex] and can create a spatial layer of protection that isolates everything, GT Seaborg demonstrated his superb spatial force application skills for the first time. This might seem like showing off his limited skills in front of the [Spatial Vortex]'s pilot, but if it was just about breaking through the spatial defenses to allow his Poison Force to arrive smoothly, it was enough.

After the last four players demonstrated perfect responses to their weaknesses, no one was willing to contribute anymore, to be someone else's sparring partner or a stepping stone for others to show off in front of the entire StarCraft audience.

Among the top fifty contestants, none of them sold themselves out to advertise for a few Credit Points.

Therefore, the challenges gradually subsided.

(After witnessing all this, Ron belatedly realized, "Aren't they at a huge disadvantage? Everything has been exposed to the top-ranked players.")

("Especially for the Invincible Andros, it will probably be more difficult for him to gather enough emotional collapse tomorrow than it was today.")

("That's normal," Basil rarely acknowledged Ron. "The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker. To make the strong sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the weak is against human nature. Besides, this is just a competition, and the purpose of the competition is to select the strong, not to select moral saints.")

("I remember Harry was one of the high-ranking viewers you mentioned.")

("Why are you making such a big deal out of this?" Ron muttered, then snuggled into Lavender's arms for comfort.)

(Basil grimaced. He wasn't without reason.)

(Roan's longing for Harry is particularly evident and irritating in the Sea of Emotions in the Rune Card World [an ocean of emotions collected by subconscious avatars in the real world, serving as a source of energy and inspiration for Basil].)

(It's normal for him to make a couple of random, unreasonable remarks when he's bored.)

(But he also somewhat understood why Roan missed Harry the most of the three.)

( In the Starry World, there is no subconscious incarnation of Ron; Harry, who corresponds to Harley, is always present in his body, while Draco, who corresponds to Draco, is always by Harry's side in this world.)

"What's wrong?" Harry, who had already logged off after the challenge timer expired, suddenly asked Draco.

He saw 'Draco' suddenly call out for no apparent reason.

"It's nothing, I just felt someone pinch my waist."

(In the second illusory world born in the Sea of Consciousness, inside Hogwarts Castle, Draco rubbed her back and looked at Roan speechlessly, "You crazy woman, why did you suddenly start causing me trouble!")

(Roan pouted, "Because Harley is my friend.")

("What kind of logic is that?")

("I don't like either of you.")

Harry had no idea that Roan was thinking about him, and he even had a falling out with Draco.

He smiled and said, "Maybe someone is thinking of you."

"Stop it!" Draco took a sip of his takeout milk tea, and the surprise combined with the popping pearls in his mouth almost made him spit it out. "I'm single. In this society, getting married means having a house with Sky Curtain. I'm a respectable person, and I only date with marriage in mind. I can't afford to date."

("Is Draco Malfoy such a good man?" Some girls were tempted, after all, only Lucius Malfoy from the Malfoy family had entered Azkaban, and because his parents were still alive, their business was still preserved.)

(In some ways, Draco Malfoy is still a good investment for marriage.)

(Even a middle-aged woman like Rita Skeeter, whose mind is only on the news, was instantly smitten. The ordinary yet confident Rita wanted to let Draco experience the charm of an 'older sister'.)

"The Malfoy Manor you inherited is on Earth," Harry said, speechless. "There's no need for a dome. What you're describing is simply impossible."

This is as absurd as a girl claiming she would never marry a guy who doesn't have Nimbus 2000, only to be rejected by the guy who only has Firebolt.

"Your family is different from ours. We didn't sell our assets on Earth to participate in the Great Expansion Movement and end up losing everything."

"That's what a normal person would choose," Draco shrugged. "Anyone with eyes can see that land prices on Earth are getting more and more expensive. At least your family is making an investment. Those who sell their old houses on Earth to buy houses on remote planets just to keep up with the times are truly brain-dead."

He suddenly lowered his voice, "Like the Diggory family."

("You wicked Malfoy family brat, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget—" Amos Diggory broke down, reaching out with both hands as if to grab the non-existent 'Draco Malfoy' by the neck.)

(Although he knew that the Diggory who made this decision—selling the old Devonshire house and moving to Jupiter —was not from this world, but from another world, he still couldn't help but be furious.)

(This is just as foolish as joining the Death Eater in 1991.)

("Who are you going to pinch?" Arthur Weasley looked at his neighbor, colleague, and classmate with a hostile expression. "He's Fred's son, my great-great-grandson!")

Draco felt a strange tightness in his neck, but ignored it and continued, "That 'Cedric Diggory' is still your friend, right? It's really strange, if we don't count Li Lin, the top five are all taken by you and your friends."

"Apart from Stanislav Krum, they are all Inheritors of the [Naming Magic]."

"[Naming Magic]?" A thought flashed through Harry's mind.

He suddenly felt very stupid.

Since there's such a good magic available, why not learn it?

[Naming Magic] is a technique that uses one's bloodline similar to that of one's ancestors to invoke the power of deceased ancestors.

And in this world, who is more closely related to Harry Potter by blood than him!

In this world, he served as the leader of the Night Watch for a long time in place of Basil, and was also one of the first knights.

Perhaps he learned a lot of secret magic from Basil.

"Why are you so surprised?" Draco asked, puzzled. "Aren't you an Inheritors?"

"I just..." Harry for an excuse, "I just suddenly thought of a possibility, about the secondary inheritance of names. Could you send me some information on [Naming Magic], the kind that's detailed down to the basics? I need to study it carefully."

(Most viewers were more excited, thinking that they were fortunate enough to learn the [Naming Magic], inherit the power of their ancestors, and sweep away their mediocrity.)

(Ron, however, slapped his thigh hard, "No wonder it's Harry, he even thought of this!")

(Oh dear, how foolish of me!)

(Then he suddenly sighed as if he had lost millions of Galleons, deeply embracing the identity of Champion, "No wonder Krum has the complete Lesser Universe creation ritual to learn.")

("That's because the name of the first knight, Krum, has been inherited by his descendants in this world.")

("But Harry and the others haven't.")

("If Krum hadn't been so stubborn and hadn't neglected to study the Lesser Universe, Harry and the others would have been at a huge disadvantage.")

("However," Ron looked worriedly at Harry on the screen, who had already received Draco's information and was studying it in the Virtual Universe, "There's only one day left, is it really enough time?")

(Tomorrow is the final, not just the final of the qualifying rounds, but the final of the Triwizard Tournament organized by the Behind-the-Scenes God.)

("There'll definitely be enough time," Ginny encouraged. "Time in the Virtual Universe is 10:1 compared to the outside world.")

("There's enough time," Hermione replied decisively. "Harry can buy time.")

(This is not something Hermione made up.)

(The time ratio between the Virtual Universe and the outside world is 10:1 to take into account the user's physical experience and to prevent excessive use from prematurely entering mental twilight.)

(When one's mind dies depends on the individual. In the afterlife, some people live for hundreds of years before entering a mental twilight, their souls remaining but still entering eternal sleep. Others, however, have persisted since the beginning of the afterlife.)

(There's even a trend towards the idea of eternal life.)

(But if you're willing to spend the money and bear the consequences yourself, the time frame can be extended.)

(And right now, Harry has chosen to buy time.)

"Is this the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Harry looked at the portal in front of him and stepped inside.

Three minutes later.

"I underestimated myself."

Harry's body in the real world is already glowing, just like the rainbow light that 'Draco' received when he fully inherited the power of his ancestors.

His consciousness was partially detached from the mental time chamber in the Virtual Universe.

This is outrageous.

They did not examine their own bloodline composition.

The resonance was not activated using the Wisdom Force.

He did not silently recite his surname.

They did not project their soul out of their body to sense the afterlife.

Simply by setting up Magic Circle, the afterlife appeared in his senses and exerted a strong attraction.

He finally understood why Draco had instantly grasped his origins and recognized his great-grandfather's identity.

The afterlife is not like a real universe.

It's more like a convergence of hearts.

The Setsuna he sensed it, he saw himself in this world, his parents, children, relatives, and others smiling at him.

Their appearance, names, achievements, and the intensity of the radiance that comes with their abilities are all revealed.

He also sensed the source of that intense attraction—himself, who looked the same as he did before entering the Rune Card World, but with a slender build.

Then, a strange yet familiar power appeared out of thin air within his body, containing information.

He hardly needed to digest or adapt; they automatically began to expand and merge with his body and even his soul. He mastered many unfamiliar spells without a teacher, and also gained some inexplicable insights and profound magical knowledge.

Before he could even react, he had already inherited the power of Harry Potter in this world, like Draco had absorbed it completely.

But his intuition told him that he could also inherit the power of a name.

"Perhaps it's because you are Harry that this miracle means you didn't really inherit anything; you simply regained your power," Lily's voice rang out.

She didn't connect with Harry or sense the afterlife; her intuition told her that if she did, she might fall back into the slumber she had when she first entered this world.

Although she might wake up again, and even gain the power of this world, the finals are tomorrow, and she can't take that risk.

"Is that so?" Harry replied, still connected to the afterlife, beginning his search upwards based on kinship, looking for a sufficiently large orb of light. Out of a certain pride, he excluded his own descendants from this world. "Should I choose... Rowle Potter, Abraham Potter, Hudwin Potter... Ignatius Peverell?"

"Such a powerful glow! Peverell?"

As Peverell, the son-in-law of the Potter family in the Rune Card World, he was familiar with this surname.

The youngest brother in the Tale of the Three Brothers who obtained the Grim Reaper's Invisibility Cloak is based on the real-life figure of the three brothers.

Having met the Behind-the-Scenes God and traversed worlds, he once truly believed that the Grim Reaper existed in their world, and that this Invisibility Cloak truly originated from Him.

But after the Rune Card World ended, he found the Invisibility Cloak passed down from his ancestors and discovered that it was merely a sophisticated alchemical tool, a remarkable Invisibility Cloak capable of self-repair and possessing Eternity invisibility magic.

It has nothing to do with death.

Therefore, he also recognized Peverell as a powerful alchemical family.

But just now, he saw an incredibly intense radiance in Ignatius Peverell.

He was only slightly weaker than the person in this world.

"He's the one!"

Harry made his choice, and after connecting with it, he suddenly felt a faint burning sensation emanating from the elf within him.

It felt just like when the crest was passed down to the Dark Magic Fairy [Path].

But his senses weren't so sharp back then, and it ended before he even felt anything.

But now.

Harry looked at the elf who resembled a silver stag with black, flame-like clouds on its hooves.

He sensed something like a legacy emblem contained within it.

"So, I've actually inherited everything from Ignatius Peverell, and everything after that is just opening the compressed file and adapting?"
