Chapter Eighty-Eight: True Ambition
readx;?“ Yes, it's the Titans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoTitans are born with a natural talent for lightning affinity, and they wield the power of lightning in nature as naturally as we breathe. And the best of them are even able to turn invisible lightning into tangible weapons, which are said to have penetrating power that pierces everything. Silver narrowed his eyes and said slowly as he looked at the dazzling white light gathering outside the castle.
"Isn't that invincible?" Ron blurted out, "That devil has this ability, how can we be his opponents!"
"No, the Titans are not known for their combat prowess. If they were truly invincible, the ancient wizards would not be able to defeat them. Silver raised an eyebrow, "There are quite a few talented species among the ancient giants, and the Titans with the talent of thunder and lightning affinity are not the strongest in terms of combat power alone. In fact, what makes the Titans stronger than other ancient giants is their extraordinary intelligence. It is precisely because of this wisdom that the Titans were able to rise against the trend and rule an era when other ancient giants were declining. Muggles, who were in obscurity at the time, also worshipped them as gods. Because the Titans loved to live in the majestic mountains, they were known as the gods of Mount Olympus.
Silver couldn't help but smile playfully as he said this. Unfortunately, all the wizards present were wizards, and wizards who knew little about Muggle mythology didn't really understand this stalk, so it would have been more interesting if Muggles were present.
"Boom!" The entire Hogwarts castle shook again, and it was clear that the enemy outside had attacked again.
"I also heard such bedtime fairy tales when I was a child. Sirius said thoughtfully, "An unnamed wizard-king, leading his undead legions to destroy the gods that dwell in the mountains. ”
"That's exactly what the story says, but there's one thing missing in the story: the Titans were defeated, but they weren't extinct. The ancient sorcerers not only overthrew the Titans' rule, but also stripped the Titans of their wisdom and the gift of a thunder and lightning affinity with an unbelievable curse. Turn them into beasts that can only use ** power: they lose the wisdom they once boasted of, and they lose the ability to cast spells. Silver said.
"Not only that, but they also hate magic terribly. Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Because they have in their veins the Titans' aversion to magic. Ironically, the main reason for the extinction of the giants is not the hunting of wizards or other creatures, but their excessive enthusiasm for killing each other—tribe-to-tribe, tribe-to-tribe. As long as they are a little more dense, they will involuntarily kill each other. Before the 19th century, there were still hundreds of giant tribes around the world, and after the Giant War, they killed each other until only seventy or eighty giants remained, and even if they were not exterminated by the demon, the genocide of the giants would be a matter of time. But fortunately, the demon couldn't get too much giant blood, otherwise it was really possible for him to restore the complete Titan bloodline. ”
"It's never taught in the History of Magic!" Ron gasped, "Is that powerful lightning chain still an incomplete Titan power, and is it possible for him to turn himself into a real Titan?"
"It's basically impossible to achieve, unless he's a pure-blooded giant himself, and it's only a little chance of success through constant bloodline purification. Dumbledore said firmly, "There are no pure-blood giants in this world right now, except for Hagrid's half-brother. ”
Ron blinked, but didn't speak. At one point, he thought that only he and Harry knew about Hagrid bringing the little giant Glopp back.
"Yes, there is a slight kinship between humans and giants, but this relationship is no closer than that between humans and the Tree Protector. Since human beings have evolved to date, they are only similar in form to giants, and they are very different in nature. This is also the main reason why the combat effectiveness of those transformed artificial giants is average. "Actually, it's not as bad as you think, and even a true pure-blood Titan can't be much better than a great wizard in a wizard's battle." That guy did not hesitate to destroy the last pure-blood giant tribe, is it just to refine the incomplete Titan bloodline and transplant it to himself? In fact, there is no need at all, through some dangerous magic transformation, he can completely obtain more powerful magic. He did it not to conquer wizards, but to conquer Muggles. ”
"Why? Are Muggles more worth the trouble he has to deal with?" Sirius said, although his attitude towards Muggles was not as extreme as that of other pure-blood wizards due to James Potter's influence, but his long-standing prejudice against Muggles still affected his judgment: Sirius, like other wizards, did not see Muggles as a threat.
Silver spread his hands, "Don't let prejudice cloud your judgment, Sirius. You have to admit that it is the Muggles who really rule the world. Muggles are vulnerable, but they have developed weapons of incredible destructiveness in their cannibalism. If the wizarding world were to be completely exposed to Muggles, things would get quite troublesome. If it weren't for the deterrence of the Imperius Curse, do you think the leaders of Muggle governments in countries that have learned of the existence of the wizarding world would have any crooked thoughts?"
Sirius was silent for a moment, as a wizard nobleman, he naturally knew that the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle regime had always been in constant friction, and the war that Greenwald started decades ago was said to have been involved in a Muggle government that was unwilling to be constrained by the Ministry of Magic.
"If you want wizards to come out and rule the world, the Imperius Charm is not enough. The Adversary probably intends to use the Titan's natural abilities to destroy the Muggle power system and dismantle the strong foundation of modern Muggle society. Silver concluded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the last piece of skin on Harry Potter's face was covered with white snake scales, and he twitched all over, and the next moment he spat out a long, forked blue tongue from his mouth, exactly like a snake! )
