Chapter 55: Wisdom Deity, Demon King's Brain Supplement
Through the Regent's Mind, Tom Riddle saw what Clark wanted him to see.
The thirst for power –
Envy and jealousy of Harry-
Distress about the lack of qualifications -
and the hesitation in the face of the plan given by Tom Riddle-
Clarke's spiritual transformation process appeared in front of Tom Riddle in this way, with a beginning and a tail, which made him even more convinced that Clark was really degenerate.
Immediately afterward, he saw something new.
It was the last time he met him, and since seeing the statue of the demon god Lucifer, Clark began to have nightmares in which he was tempted by Lucifer and fell into hell and was tortured endlessly.
He began to feel repulsed by Lucifer and did not want to pray to him, which is why Clark never came to him again after that time.
And the turning point of events began at Christmas.
Clark's cousin, Bill, who was a spell solver in Gringotts in Egypt, sent him a magic crystal found during his expedition, supposedly found in an ancient Egyptian pyramid and originally set in a statue.
The effect of this crystal stone is also very peculiar, as long as it is kept closely, it can make people's minds clear and calm, and their thinking is quick, which not only makes Clark improve his reading and learning rapidly, but also alleviates his nightmares at night.
Of course, if that's all there is, it's not unusual.
Tom had seen too many magical items with similar effects, and even some potions could do the same.
But recently, in his sleep, Clark suddenly encountered a strange man with a bird's head.
The strange man appeared in his dreams, claiming to be the god of wisdom, knowledge, and magic, and that if Clark believed in him and prayed to him, he would gain infinite wisdom and eventually reach the top.
Ogmar, the god of wisdom, knowledge, and magic?
No! It wasn't a god, it wasn't a magic crystal.
With Tom Riddle's mastery of the occult, he could tell at a glance how precious the thing Clark had acquired.
The crystal fragment that has been handed down from the Golden Age and has preserved a little bit of divine power!
Clark could clearly see that Tom Riddle's remnant soul began to fluctuate violently, which was enough to show how uneasy his heart was at the moment.
[Hell! Damn it! Why is this little imp's luck so good! The Christmas gift I received turned out to be a fragment of divinity! 】
Through psychic abilities, Clark instantly sensed Tom Riddle's inner thoughts, and knew that he didn't suspect anything.
[Damn, I have to get this, I have to get Him]
With Him, I can be resurrected in a more perfect form! I will even become more powerful than the main body, and then I will be the real main body! 】
Sure enough, no matter how simple a scam is, as long as the stakes are big enough and the temptations are big enough, it will become flawless.
Tom Riddle is not a stupid person, but he has also lost his mind in the face of the false memories that Clark constructed with Occlumency.
It is a myth, a detachment, a new realm above the legend, and another hope to a higher dimension.
But anyone who is ambitious cannot refuse this!
In the Feron Continent of another universe, this kind of thing can even make a group of legendary bigwigs beat their dog brains.
Tom Riddle, of course, is no exception.
He couldn't even ignore how something so precious had come out of the hands of a discerning Gringotts spell solver and had traveled all the way to Hogwarts.
None of that mattered, for through his own knowledge and experience, he could conclude with certainty that this little bit of divinity was real, more real than the power that dwelled on the statue of Lucifer he had ever seen.
Clarke, who sensed Tom's thoughts, despised him in his heart, and this divinity from Ogmar, the god of wisdom, was certainly genuine.
After all, there was no bigger fragment of Godhead in the world today than the one in his mind, and he only drew a little bit of breath out of it.
Looking at Tom Riddle, who was already immobile, Clark coughed, interrupting his fantasies.
"Tom, is there anything wrong with this deity?"
Tom Riddle ate a ton of sour lemons, not to mention how jealous he was, but he still pretended to be completely considerate of Clarke.
"Well, it's a bit of a problem."
Clark suddenly became nervous, "What's the problem, is this deity fake?" ”
"Not really." Tom shook his head as his brain began to rac, thinking about what he could do to trick the crystal that held its divine powers.
Soon, he figured out his rhetoric.
"Without close contact, I can't tell whether the crystal or the god is true or false based on your words alone.
But I have to warn you, in the world of magic, you should never trust those who hide their heads and tails. ”
Clark glanced at him.
Are you sure it's not talking about yourself again?
Tom was not at all self-aware, and continued.
"And the name Ogma, I'm afraid it's also problematic. I am sure that in all the myths and legends of this world, there is no name of this deity. ”
Of course, people are not gods in this world at all.
Clark chuckled to himself.
However, at this time, Tom Riddle suddenly changed his tone and began to attack himself.
But the name of the god is never called nonsense, and in theological knowledge, the name of the true God is often directed directly to His person.
If they are not capable enough, the gods will never use exaggerated prayers.
And judging by the title you described.
'The inventor of the written word', which means that he once invented the written word of a certain civilization.
'Instruments of the gods,' which indicates that He was a member of a divine line.
Coupled with the fact that he possesses such a powerful priesthood as 'wisdom, knowledge, and magic,' I can already determine who he really is. ”
Clark looked at Tom Riddle with a puzzled expression, "Who is it?" ”
"Thoth." Tom affirmed.
"The god Thoth, also known as Thoth or Tuth, was the god of wisdom in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of the moon, and the scribe of Hades, who invented the Egyptian script and completed the Book of Death, and was a disseminator of knowledge.
You said that the crystal was sent from Egypt by your cousin, so the first thing that came to my mind was Him. ”
Clark then asked, "But why did He change His name to Ogma?" Isn't it bad to use the original name? ”
Tom Riddle smiled coldly, his wise eyes seemed to have seen everything.
Of course he didn't dare to use his old name anymore, no, maybe he wasn't going to use the name of God Thoth in the first place.
Remember the magical ritual I told you about to change qualifications? This ritual evolved from the 'Taiyi Ritual' recorded in the Jade Record.
In ancient Egyptian myths and legends, the Jade Record was left by the Egyptian pharaoh Hermes, the son of the god Thoth. ”
"Oh, no." Clark abruptly interrupted Tom Riddle, "I remember that Hermes wasn't the god of commerce, travelers, and thieves in ancient Greek mythology?" ”
Tom nodded, "Yes, Hermes is indeed the ancient Greek god of commerce, travelers, and thieves. But at the same time, he also assumed the name of Ahnatun, as the son of the god Thoth, and served as a pharaoh in ancient Egypt. ”
"Hiss~"
Clark almost gasped, but soon he reacted again.
Just as in Chinese mythology, the two religions of Tao and Buddhism penetrate and absorb each other, so that the Cihang Taoist people, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and Fuxian Zhenren in the twelve golden immortals entered the Buddhism gate and incarnated as the "Three Great Scholars".
With the ancient Egyptian gods and the ancient Greek gods so close together, it is not surprising that Hermes, as a god who holds the priesthood of travel, visited Egypt and joined it.
"The god Thoth himself does not have the priesthood of [magic]."
Tom was there and continued to refine his reasoning.
"In ancient Egyptian mythology, the priesthood of [magic] was mastered by the goddess Isis, one of the nine pillar gods, so I was still wondering.
But speaking of Hermes, I suddenly remembered that he had a priesthood of deception, and the priesthood of deception can also evolve into priesthoods such as sorcery and magic.
For example, in Norse mythology, Loki, who is in charge of trickery and lies, is an excellent shapeshifter and magician. ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he even began to dance with his hands, and this act of peeking into the hidden events of the gods through a few words almost made him fascinated.
Even the myths and legends that took place during the Golden Age already contain countless powerful occult knowledge.
For Muggles, they may be just stories, but for wizards like Tom Riddle, who is well-versed in the occult, they can dig deep into the ritual powers that belong to the gods alone.
"Ragnarok, which ended the Golden Age, must have not completely fallen to the god Thoth.
He himself was a god who was proficient in the 'Taiyi Ritual', and he wrote the "Book of the Dead" and "Jade Record", which were great texts that opened up the path of alchemy, how could he die so easily.
Now it seems that he must have escaped by feigning his death, completely abandoning the name of 'God Thoth', and usurping some of Hermes's authority, using his ability to [travel] and [cross bounds] to avoid the limelight.
After the Silver Age passed, he chose the [magical] priesthood again, preparing to resurrect with the help of the wizarding world, and assumed the name Ogmar to hold the throne high.
This is simply a complete 'Taiyi ceremony'. ”
Hearing this, Clark almost couldn't help but applaud Tom Riddle, his associative ability was really outstanding, and he instantly gave Clarke's 'Ogma' a reasonable source.
However, after Clark listened to Tom Riddle's guessed story, the fragment of the godhead of the god of knowledge in his mind suddenly flickered.
He felt a deep longing, in some distant place, calling to him.
There, to the southeast, is it Egypt!
Clark was shocked, he didn't expect that what he thought was Tom Riddle's guess was just nonsense suddenly caused Ogmar's Godhead fragment to react.
Could it be that Tom guessed part of the truth correctly by mistake?
So did Ogma travel over and incarnate as the Egyptian god Thoth, or did the god Thoth travel through the past and incarnate as Ogma of Feron?
He quickly stopped this speculation, the secret information that belonged to the Golden Age almost frightened him.
Clark originally thought that this golden finger was obtained by himself, but now it seems that he brought himself into this world, but I am afraid that there is other meaning.
At this time, Tom Riddle had also recovered from his excitement, and he was even a little annoyed that he had said so much that he should not have said in a moment's care.
If Clark reacted, how precious this divine crystal was, I was afraid that if I wanted to cheat it from his hand, it would be extremely difficult.
However, Clark didn't seem to grasp the meaning of his story, and instead asked, "Can I replace Lucifer in the ritual with this deity?" ”
Tom secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he nodded, "If my guess is correct, it should be possible." But before you can do that, you'll have to give me access to the hedrons. ”
As he spoke, he stared at the expression on Clark's face, very apprehensive.
Although he also knew that he should wait a little longer for the world, and wait for Clark to let down his guard before making this request, maybe that would be better, and it would not arouse Clark's alarm.
But he really didn't want to wait for a moment, he desperately wanted to know whether that crystal really contained divinity.
And Clarke, on the other side, also understands that now the plan has come to the most critical juncture.
Where did Clark get some divine crystal, this thing is not a shadow at all, it is completely what he deceived Tom Riddle, but now people have to inspect it.
A hesitant expression began to appear on his face, and he did not agree to Tom's terms.
Seeing this, Tom used a trick to get away with it, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'm too presumptuous, such a precious thing, I don't want to show it to others." ”
As he spoke, his face showed a disappointed expression at the right time, and he turned around to leave, and his acting skills could be said to have been full.
Clark really seemed to be fooled, and hurriedly stopped him, "No, you can help me, it's more useful than any crystal stone, but how can I show you?" Bring that crystal stone in? ”
"No, you don't."
Tom naturally didn't dare to let him bring in the divine crystal, not to mention that he was just an ordinary horcrux diary, and the material could not carry the divinity, even if he brought it in, it would be him who devoured the divinity or the divinity devoured him.
"You can just put that crystal in your journal."
"Okay, wait."
