Harry Potter vs. Stanislav Krum

For wizards from other countries, Grindelwald, the Dark Lord, is most famous for his belief in wizard supremacy.

For the sorcerers of France and America, the scars he left in Paris and New York were the things they cared about most and considered the most humiliating.

"This punch was delivered because of Paris's tears!"

The man, the Force, and the armor became one, the three elements united. As the fist was thrown, a noble, sacred, and ethereal phoenix shadow appeared behind him.

"Mecha Force!" Cedric exclaimed.

Phoebe's "Path" was inspired by the phoenix, and the power of her "Magic Immortal Artifact" is also related to this immortal and noble creature. Furthermore, the core of her chosen light armor Phoenix Upgrade Full Bottle, is the essence of the phoenix's power.

Therefore, she and the mech were essentially one, capable of unleashing power beyond the mech's physical capabilities.

Other Champion certainly wouldn't notice the difference.

But he was different; having also mastered the Mecha Force, he recognized him.

'Information Points!' Riddle was extremely annoyed. He mistakenly thought that Phoebe had used Information Points to purchase her mech suit offline, thus gaining mastery of the Mecha Force. 'I could have forgotten the power of money. We can certainly buy advanced knowledge with money.'

Just as Cedric expected, Harry and Krum weren't too surprised, only briefly marveling at Phoebe could find such a perfectly matched light armor.

The two were more concerned about how Grindelwald would respond to this punch.

"Senescence."

As the clock ticked, a bright yellow force field spread out from the Golden Knight.

The Dadi decayed and turned to ash, and the air became rotten and murky.

The unfolding force field of time began to devour the world and everything that intruded into it except the Creator, at the cost of time itself.

"Reckless. The phoenix is an immortal creature that transcends time," Robert McGonagall scoffed.

He's not one of those guys in the Knight Major who's all philosophical and intellectual. He's very knowledgeable about the Time Force. If given time and the opportunity to modify his mechs, he could handle it too.

Adding a gravity lever affects the time itself.

After all, gravity is merely a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime.

However, the next second, the cold smile on his face froze.

The phoenix is indeed unaffected by time, but he forgot that the phoenix's immortality comes from the Eternity cycle of birth and death.

Therefore, the golden-red glow emanating from the fist also continuously waned from its peak as the fist advanced.

Grindelwald seized that moment of annihilation and retaliated with a punch of his own.

This punch was as fast as a meteor, without dodging or avoiding.

Arrogant and reckless!

Their fists collided, and endless light and heat emanated from the point of contact.

"What!" Grindelwald's confident smile froze. He hadn't expected that even if he had seized the slightest opportunity, the punch he received would still be as powerful as an erupting volcano. Moreover, the force was incredibly dense and solid. Even with the support of the force field technology that simulated the "Mind's Eye World" and the fact that he controlled a high-level force like the Time Force, he could only barely keep up.

Bang bang bang!

The immense recoil sent him flying backward, like a golden bullet piercing through dense forests, cliffs, and mountains.

All that remained was the deafening sound of the explosion and the thick smoke that obscured the sky.

Phoebe did not retreat, but flew towards Grindelwald's retreating trajectory, letting the reaction force shatter her right arm and the light armor on her right arm. Then, with a flash of red light, her arm and light armor were instantly restored.

"Fortunately," Grindelwald exclaimed.

His armor and body were unharmed, and his Force was being restored as the force field eroded the time of things passing through it.

As the Time Force surged, a new future appeared in his mind.

A black and red light cannon appeared from behind.

"Divine Buster!"

Qing Leng female voice rang out, accompanied by a burning sensation at the back of my head, and then everything went black.

"It's too late."

Grindelwald already knew his end was near. The force field was far more reliable than his eyes, and the space behind him had already been torn apart the moment he foresaw the future. Now, the highly concentrated energy fluctuations were incredibly close to the back of his head.

It was incredibly discreet and silent, only being detected the Setsuna it approached the force field.

It was also incredibly fast, breaking free from the automatic constraints of the force field in a Setsuna and reaching its destination.

Boom!

Just as in the foreseeable future, his head shattered like a watermelon and then exploded.

Harry, Krum, and Cedric's eyes darkened.

Phoebe revealed almost no additional information; her incredibly powerful light cannon had already been exposed online by her opponents in written form.

The Apparition at long range was exposed during the human-machine competition.

The three decided to continue observing in secret.

The Invincible Andros abandoned his idea of challenging Phoebe and set his sights on 'Grindelwald'.

Then secretly observe Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory, Stanislav Krum, and issue a challenge as appropriate.

Derwent Simplin set his sights on the Invincible Andros, an opponent who displayed a fighting style almost identical to his own in the top ten battle.

Robert McGonagall is still aiming to challenge GT Seaborg and reclaim his ranking.

His ultimate goal has now been to get seventh place.

GT Seaborg is ready to challenge the Invincible Andros. Although he lost to the eighth-ranked Derwent Simplin, it doesn't mean he can't beat the higher-ranked Andros.

The match also depends on the counters. Derwent Simplin has a way to resist his Poison Force, while Andros, even if stronger, may not have the technology to resist poison.

Having just won, Phoebe is ready to await further challenges.

The recently defeated Grindelwald wanted to bypass Phoebe and Harry and challenge Cedric Diggory, who might just be the one he was able to defeat.

The boundless animal tides can serve as the price of the time force field, the source of the time consumed.

With different thoughts in mind, the five people pressed the avatars of the people they wanted to challenge.

Gellert Grindelwald vs Cedric Diggory

(Viewers felt that Grindelwald was really unlucky to have drafted another Champion, and he was the only one of the four who had mastered his Lesser Universe.)

Harry, Krum, Phoebe instantly became serious.

The Invincible Andros was delighted, as this would allow him to observe his target— 'Grindelwald' —more closely.

Derwent Simplin, GT Seaborg, and Robert McGonagall sighed.

"Don't use your Lesser Universe, [Ultimate Liberation]." Riddle instructed, while skillfully beginning to lay out his plan, releasing one Magical Creature after another.

The strategy remains the same: tanks like the Cosmic Dinosaur are in the front, supports like the Little Devil and Phoenix who disrupt the enemy's buffs are in the back, and damage dealers like the Thousand-Eyed Peacock and Space Jellyfish are placed in the center.

"Protego Diabolica - Modified!"

He 'just barely' dodged the energy attacks, whether direct or indirect, that would inflict various negative statuses on him, and then unleashed his Fiendfyre Domain.

Next is dealing with group attacks and high-speed opponents' [Time Mire].

The series of explosions triggered by the rhinoceros-horned beast froze inside, and the mushroom cloud shrank.

The subtle black aura released by the little devil in his tuxedo, which could cause his opponents to make unfortunate mistakes, became more apparent in the mire of time. It was either dodged by the 'Grindelwald' who could foresee the future, or swallowed up before it could even touch him.

Because the phoenix, which possesses the [True Form] song that restores health and mana and inspires people, has its sacred power contained in its song also succumbed to the Fiendfyre time, egoism, and evil.

The Cosmic Dinosaur, capable of physical space travel, slowed down the Setsuna they approached the blue Fiendfyre, and the frequency of the earth-shattering vibrations they created gradually decreased.

The countless golden beams of light released by the Thousand-Eyed Peacock in the middle of the formation, which could have eroded Force application technology, were instead swallowed up.

It was just a thin blue fire domain, only a hundred feet in diameter, yet it acted like an insurmountable barrier, blocking the dense rain of various colored primal forces and the onslaught of the beast tide.

But 'Grindelwald' didn't actually perform that easily.

All he wanted to do was curse.

They called Cedric a cunning Goblin, a treacherous Leprechaun.

During these three months, he did collect information about his opponents, including videos of their human-machine matches, comments posted online by their opponents in the points matches, and their performance in the top ten relegation matches.

He also roughly knew that Cedric's light armor was modified from Paradise Lost, and that the Phantom Beast he created would be transformed into the appearance of ordinary Magical Creature in order to make his opponents careless and make mistakes.

But he didn't expect it to be so bizarre.

The Magical Creature match the appearance are intertwined with those whose abilities do not match (for 'Grindelwald' of this era, Star Era Fantastic Beasts such as Space Jellyfish are very common and no different from little devil Graphorn, so they are difficult to distinguish).

It leaves people overwhelmed.

They had no idea which was normal and which possessed unusual power.

Those who appear particularly weak are the most cunning.

In the countless futures he foresaw, he repeatedly made mistakes due to being accidentally struck by the black glow of the little devil, suffering a backlash from the Time Force and exiting the stage in various comical ways.

Moreover, that phoenix was too troublesome.

With the blessing of its song, the Force attacks of the beast horde in front of it were almost inexhaustible, and the wounds that had just appeared on its body were instantly healed.

In short, none of these Fantastic Beasts are easy to deal with.

Most importantly, Cedric did not make a move.

According to the information he collected online, Krum, Cedric, and Phoebe are all rare cases of dissociative identity disorder.

Cedric's true form is riding the armored Groudon of the original knight Cedric Diggory.

He was wearing external armor modified from [Paradise Lost].

This external armor represents another personality.

'It's time to make a move.' Riddle also noticed Grindelwald's struggles. 'He's performing too perfectly, almost inhumanly. It's clearly different from the perfection he initially achieved through his superhuman reflexes. It's obvious he's constantly foreseeing the future.'

"Yes," Cedric replied.

The Dadi instantly turned into magma, and the crimson armor transformed into a ball of energy that seeped into it.

"Damn it!" Grindelwald's Time Force had been pushed to its limit, and he kept changing his position and coping strategies based on the future he saw.

But no matter what changes are made, the outcome of his head being smashed by a single punch cannot be changed.

At most, the location where the crimson armor appeared and the angle from which it shattered his head changed.

Damn it!

The Fiendfyre [Time Mire] gathered and converged in his right fist, the gray flames flickering.

He abandoned his defense; everything hinged on that one punch.

I refuse to believe it!

The fist, shrouded in gray flames, moved forward in a manner that defied any trajectory.

There is no longer any prediction of the future.

His essence, his Force, everything was contained within this fist-sized gray flame.

Time will guide the fist to the right place.

The fist struck the magma-filled ground, meeting the crimson fist that emerged from it.

"I lost."

Crack, bang, bang, boom!

The explosion traveled from his fist to his head.

The golden armor cracked, and the flesh inside had decayed into black ash.

The Invincible Andros, Derwent Simplin, Robert McGonagall, and GT Seaborg are all incredibly impressive.

They all knew the true value of someone who wielded the Time Force.

They also knew how outrageous the [Paradise Lost] light armor set was.

But now, the master of the Time Force has been defeated by a single punch.

Even though they hadn't initially intended to challenge Cedric, they all temporarily abandoned the challenge.

They were incredibly excited, eagerly anticipating the battle between the top five.

If the sixth and fifth sections are so exciting, what about the higher ones?

This time, the 'Gellert Grindelwald', which was shattered even more, has given up the challenge.

Then

After the match, a long period of silence ensued.

No one issued a challenge.

Final.

Harry broke the silence, "It looks like the final will have to start earlier than planned."

(Only the audience understands Harry's meaning; the battle for supremacy between Champion is finally about to begin in its most direct form.)

Harry Potter vs. Stanislav Krum

When Harry appeared in the field, he was already in his [Ultimate Liberation] form.

The black armor turned white, golden lily patterns appeared, and silver [Galaxy Sand] formed a thin film on the body surface, which Lily controlled.

Then

It was as if countless green lights and shadows were rushing towards it.

Krum pushed his speed to the limit and summoned a second body.

These light and shadows are the trajectories of their movements: fists, flying kicks, and slashes.

Having already shared the fruits of Harry's [Path] soul level, and having exchanged [Magical Power Refinement] seven times, Lily, whose senses had been elevated to the extreme, controlled the [Galaxy Sand] so tightly that it blocked a large number of Krum's attacks.

A few punches, flying kicks, or slashes that managed to break through the [Galaxy Sand] defense were [absorbed] by Harry's defense.

Harry is gradually mastering the Force of Speed, like sand forming a tower.

'We've got this in the bag,' Harry thought.

'We've got this in the bag.' The same thought flashed through Krum's mind as he attacked.

With each attack, which is high-speed movement, his Force of Speed continues to accumulate. As time goes by, his and the Prewett Brothers' forces double, and eventually their attack will reach a terrifying level, shattering Harry's monstrous defense, which he now regrets.

They weren't unaware of Harry's head slowly turning, following their trajectory.

But they didn't expect that Harry was keeping up with their speed. After all, Harry was also a fairy, and it was normal for the fairy's senses to detect their trajectory.

He didn't even notice Harry's outstretched hand behind his back.

'Now!'

The portion of Force of Speed that he had just learned to transform was all channeled into the [Galaxy Sand], which transformed into a giant hand that grabbed Krum was leisurely retreating after the attack.

'Magnetic Field Sky Blade!'

The Prewett Brothers attempted to attack Harry by attacking Wei, but Harry withstood all the myriad lights and shadows.

Krum attempted to Ghosting, but it had no effect on Lily, who shared Harry's "Path," which was also a ghostly pathway.

A blue crescent moon flashed by.

Harry wins.

Second place: Harry Potter

Fourth place: Stanislav Krum

Due to the change in rankings, Harry's remaining two challenge attempts are reduced to 1.

Krum's unused challenge attempt has been increased to 3.
