She gathered friends with the Founders’ legacies to study how to cross the weakened barrier between universes, leaving Cedric eager to join her trip.

• After graduating, Daphne and her friends discovered that Australian wizards had opened a space-time rift, and Daphne later sealed Harry and the others’ memories of a parallel universe.
• Daphne investigated Nagudinnaf in her own world and confirmed that its wizards had not obtained Evil God power, while the academy in the parallel universe possessed an object connected to a deity.

• Daphne gathered Harry, Neville, Cedric, Qiu, and Luna to study the Tower Chapters and the weakened barrier between parallel universes.
• Daphne looked toward Cedric as she proposed going to Nagudinnaf in another world, and Cedric reacted with excitement.

Daphne and her companions arrived in a parallel-world Australia, where she subdued the family living in their chosen house and used the Imperius Curse to keep their presence secret. After dividing up to explore, Daphne set off alone to find the hidden magical school Nagudinnaf.

• Daphne emerged from the spacetime rift into a family's breakfast and stunned the four people who saw her arrive.

• She discovered that Nagudinnaf's defenses disrupted teleportation and followed the students toward a balcony protected by several invisible spells.

• Daphne seized control of the blonde witch’s black chains and suspended her, then blocked the other wizards’ spells and sent a Killing Curse back at its caster.
• An old wizard intercepted the returning curse with the bundle he carried, knocking the caster down, while Daphne summoned a whirlwind to stop the incoming attacks.
• Daphne used the whirlwind to gather and combine the room’s Yin-Yang Thunder Powder around the eighteen Australia Wizards, unleashing a massive lightning strike.

• The old wizard threatened Daphne, and the surviving white-robed wizards surrounded her as one grew into a giant and another sprouted membranous wings.

Daphne faced Nagudinnaf’s five core wizards and discovered how deeply they had altered themselves with an Evil God’s power. After their divine abilities failed to affect her, the Australian wizards attacked, and Daphne prepared to fight back.

• Two of the five wizards transformed into a towering, scaled giant and a creature with writhing wings, while another revealed a greatsword coated in dark red filth.
• God's Eye wondered why Daphne, who had no deity power, was unaffected by their divine abilities, and secretly coordinated an attack meant to contaminate her soul.
• God's Vessel charged Daphne and swung at her head, but she dodged with an Illusory Avatar and formed a Black Sword.
• God's Sword rushed in with his corrupted greatsword, but Daphne evaded his strike and found herself surrounded by four wizards, with God's Eye still at a distance.
• Daphne mocked the wizards’ transformations and said she would put them out of their misery as black flames formed a gigantic raven behind her.

• The Eye of God warned that something was wrong as he noticed Daphne had become calmer and seemed to predict the attacks.
• God's Sword complained that Daphne was getting faster, while the Eye of God realized her judgment of their attacks had become more accurate.

Daphne used the Tower Chapters’ sealing power to immobilize the Australia Wizards and reached the deity’s item beneath the school. After safely retrieving it, she found the wizards had died or gone mad from the backlash of using the Evil God’s power, and left Australia to enjoy the rest of her trip.

• Daphne used the Spatial Binding Spell to freeze four Australia Wizards and sealed the Eye of God when she realized he was too weak to resist.
• Daphne descended into the transparent pillar and found an enormous sea anemone surrounding a sculpture of a finger that overwhelmed her senses.
• Daphne protected herself from the deity item’s influence, confirmed she had not been corrupted, and figured out how to retrieve the sculpture without destroying the island.
• Daphne returned to find the four Australia Wizards dead and the Eye of God rotting and unable to speak after the binding forced them to bear the cost of their deity power.
• Daphne left the underground space with the deity item and decided to enjoy the rest of her stay in Australia, possibly visiting Las Vegas.
