Unique-Tier Entry? Existence Altered!?

"As expected of Voldemort! At only twenty years old, he has already mastered the Three Unforgivable Curses to an unrivaled level!"

Devero gazed at the Horcrux panel before him in sheer amazement.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

Previously, he had only ever seen such peerless magic in Snape.

Occlumency.

Snape was also the master explicitly noted in the original text as having the strongest Occlumency.

Yet, this single soul fragment of Voldemort actually possessed three such advanced spells.

This undoubtedly demonstrated just how formidable the power of Voldemort's original self truly was.

Devero shifted his gaze away from the Spell Library.

He continued to scroll downward.

Devero carefully examined each entry of the Horcrux.

There wasn't much to say about the [Horcrux] entry.

The main difference between this and Harry's was that Harry had been created by Voldemort accidentally.

Therefore, the influence on Harry was relatively minor.

But one look at this one was enough to know it was nothing good.

It was simply reeking with malice!

When he saw the [Dark Lord] entry, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Fragmented? Could it be that each Horcrux is only a part of the Dark Lord entry?"

If even a fragment was a gold-tier entry, then all the entries combined would surely be at least red-tier!

Devero nodded slightly.

After all, Voldemort was a powerful wizard capable of facing Dumbledore head-on.

It stood to reason that he would possess a red-tier entry.

He dared not even imagine what kind of charisma and magical power Voldemort would possess if he had a complete soul.

The remaining two purple-tier entries were easier to understand.

[Born Heartless] could be considered the very foundation of Voldemort's character.

Raised in an orphanage, then later arriving at Hogwarts.

Treated in an improper manner by Dumbledore.

Perhaps there was also the influence of his bloodline.

Generations of inbreeding among his ancestors, and so on.

With various factors compounding, it ultimately led to him maintaining an antisocial personality after reaching adulthood.

As for the [Decay] entry, it should simply refer to the fact that this diadem had been left in the Room of Requirement for too long.

Counting it up, it must have been about fifty years, right?

I wonder if this Horcrux of Voldemort has consciousness; wouldn't it go mad from boredom after being alone for so many years?

Devero muttered to himself.

Then, Devero's expression turned more serious.

[Wilderness of Knowledge]

This was the first unique-tier entry he had encountered on someone other than himself.

Although a Horcrux shouldn't really be considered a person.

The origin of the entry shouldn't be some dark magic Voldemort had concocted.

It should be an effect inherent to Ravenclaw's Diadem.

Considering that Ravenclaw herself valued wisdom above all else.

Could this so-called Wilderness of Knowledge have originally been a trait belonging to Ravenclaw, only to be later imbued into the Diadem?

Thinking this, Devero felt it was a fairly plausible theory.

After all, she was a founder of the school.

It wouldn't be strange for her to have a Unique-tier trait.

However, the description was extremely vague.

It was very abstract.

What did it mean to say, "You are knowledge itself"?

Devero currently had no way of guessing what the effects of this trait might be.

It differed significantly from his own Unique-tier traits.

The Magic Prodigy trait Devero possessed could be considered the pinnacle of traits related to magical talent.

It could even be classified as a rule.

Devero had yet to encounter a spell he couldn't learn at a single glance.

It was merely a matter of proficiency.

As for the Transmigrator trait, it was brought about by his unique status.

Or rather...

It was brought about by the Great Existence that watched over him.

Then, this Wilderness of Knowledge.

At the very least, it had to involve something related to the rules of the world.

He reckoned its effects wouldn't be subpar.

Devero furrowed his brows.

"System, is there no further explanation for this trait?"

Devero asked the system in his mind.

[Answering the host.]

[There is no other expansive content.]

[However, Unique-tier traits generally follow a basic logic.]

[The simpler it is, the more complex it becomes.]

Ah, this...

Devero felt his system was becoming increasingly cryptic.

What did it mean by "the simpler it is, the more complex it becomes"?

Devero rested his chin in his hand and began to ponder.

Could it mean that the simpler the description, the more complex the actual effects?

Devero shook his head.

No, that wasn't it.

It couldn't be that simple.

His own two traits had descriptions that were not short at all.

Yet, even now, Devero hadn't fully grasped the entirety of what those two traits could do.

But as it stood, this Wilderness of Knowledge was the Unique-tier trait with the most concise text description that Devero had ever encountered.

Therefore, it should fit this definition of "the simpler, the more complex."

He estimated that its effects would be stronger, or perhaps... more bizarre, than the two he currently possessed?

"Could it allow me to possess all the knowledge in the world?"

Devero indulged in a bit of wishful thinking.

Of course, even if he were a Magic Prodigy, he would likely die from a brain hemorrhage if he tried to absorb that much knowledge.

Finally, after much deliberation.

Devero decided to load it and see what happened.

It was just a trait, after all.

What kind of danger could there be?

It wasn't like a Horcrux.

Or a trait that directly turned oneself into a part of someone else.

And so, Devero began to load the trait.

Suddenly!

A sharp sound rang out.

Devero's face twisted in pain.

[Warning!]

[The host copying the current trait will cause a fundamental change in the host's mode of existence!]

[Please choose carefully!]

[Do you wish to continue loading the trait?]

Devero was instantly dumbfounded.

This was the first time he had ever been warned by the system for copying a trait!

A fundamental change in his mode of existence?

That sounded like he was about to turn into something else.

In other words, becoming something other than a human!

Like a diadem, for instance!

Thinking of this, Devero immediately abandoned the idea of loading the trait.

This was too dangerous.

It seemed he couldn't just load any random trait he came across.

Take this Horcrux, for example.

If he had loaded it, he might have turned into an object and lost his humanity.

Devero stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

His encounter in the Room of Requirement today served as a reminder.

In the future, when dealing with dangerous magical objects, it would be better to use indirect methods whenever possible.

Just as Devero was about to cast the Levitation Charm to hide the plaster statue back in the depths of the room, a voice broke the silence.

"Hello there, little wizard."

Devero whipped out his wand and scanned his surroundings rapidly.

He had checked to make sure no one was around the moment he entered the Room of Requirement.

He had only started searching for the Horcrux after confirming it was absolutely safe.

So why was there another voice now!?

"Down here, little one."

Devero looked down abruptly.

He saw the plaster statue opening its eyes, which were glowing with a green light, to greet him.

"It seems Slytherin has welcomed another talented wizard."
