Chapter 162: Touching the Realm of the Gods

"Hello, friend."

After Harry entered the black-silver projection of the black-silver vortex, a young male voice rang out beside Harry.

As soon as he turned his head, Harry saw a boy in a Hogwarts uniform sitting cross-legged on the floor, with an oven in front of him, on which were many meat skewers dressed in iron skewers.

"To introduce myself, I'm Setilares Scottie, a seventh-year Hufflepuff house student, and I'm graduating in two months, and that's some of the things I left before I left Hogwarts, of course, I didn't always say the right thing, because I couldn't find a second person of my kind to communicate with to validate my research and findings, but I hope that the things I left behind will be of some help to my future friends."

"Ancient wizards are too far away from us." Seti sighed as she flipped the skewers, "I want to see the once splendid and grand world of magic, in that era, although magic was not as subtle as it is now, I know that that era belongs to us, to the age of the awakened wizards. ”

"You probably know what the Awakened means, right, even if no one has explained it to us, but we just do."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's as if this knowledge exists in our minds when we are born, and it thaws a little bit as we grow, it's our innate instinct? Or maybe I'm the only one? It makes me feel more like magical creatures, they are different from wizards, they don't need to learn magic, they are born with it, they just have to wait to grow. ”

Seti picked out a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth, not afraid of burning his mouth at all.

"In the beginning, I didn't feel like I was any special than other wizards, before I came to Hogwarts, I studied with a wild wizard, he was my uncle, he picked me up from the rubbish after my parents abandoned me, he was the one who told me that I was a wizard and not a monster in the eyes of Muggles."

"Maybe something happened when I was born?" Seti grinned, "It doesn't matter, the wizarding world is indeed different from the Muggle world, they didn't throw me into a dung pit and drown me, it's already considered mercy to me, I don't blame them, they died anyway, it seems that they died of some infectious disease?" That's what their neighbors said anyway, when my uncle took me back to see when I was ten years old. ”

"The first time I noticed my difference was the second month after I came to Hogwarts, and if the Fat Friar had told you my story, you should know that I had gone into the Forbidden Forest that day in search of a ball bird, and I saw the group of debris, the group of poachers, and they caught Fick, the beautiful blue ball bird, and the group of crumbs were afraid that the ball bird would run away, so they killed it the first time they caught it, right in front of me."

"They plucked Fick's feathers, cut open its belly, and skillfully removed all valuable materials, and my little friend was just a golden galleon sent to their door in their eyes."

"But what can I do?"

Seti chewed on the roast meat, and his voice was a little muffled, "I only mastered some basic magic at the time, although my uncle was a wizard, but his magic power was only a little higher than that of a squib, and he didn't use many magic tricks, and almost all of my spells were learned after I came to Hogwarts." ”

"Maybe I can use a weapon against them? And then one person singled out more than a dozen of them? ”

"Well, that's what I did, and I was almost mad at what I saw and rushed up like a reckless Gryffindor idiot, and I shouted - remove your weapon!"

Harry saw Seti draw his gun in a lightning bolt and pull the trigger in front of him, only to realize that in front of Seti's oven were several wooden stakes with wizards tied up with ropes, both men and women, with despair and fear in their eyes.

The red spell struck one of them, and with a miserable wail, the teeth and limbs that had been torn off by the invisible giant hand completely lost all the parts that could be used as weapons, and turned into a fire hydrant that sprayed blood.

"My magic doesn't seem to be the same, especially when I want to vent something and make myself happy, my magic can get weird."

"By the way, you don't have to pity those guys in front of you, they are poachers, thieves, murderers, none of them are innocent, if you insist on saying that the crime is not to death, then I can't help it, I think such a punishment is appropriate for them, here, I am the law."

"I don't know if you've noticed a thing, friend."

Seti looked up in Harry's direction, and if Harry hadn't known that it was just a magic projection, he would have thought that this senior, who was more than a hundred years his senior, was here now.

"No, for me, to be exact, killing is the most effective way to make me stronger, maybe not just killing, using the right means to treat the right people, this kind of behavior will make my magic grow stronger at an unusual rate."

"I haven't figured out what this is all about yet, but I can tell you with certainty that emotions and emotions don't just make spells stronger, they can make people like us stronger."

"During the fifteen years we lived with my uncle, we lived very carefully, he was a wild wizard who was no better than a squib, and I was a wild child who was taught and raised by a wild wizard, I don't know if you had ever seen the lowest level of the wizarding world, but I didn't want you to actually touch them, believe me, it was a place more disgusting than a swamp that emitted a foul miasma."

"Sometimes I even yearn for the Muggle world, where there is social assistance, at least you will be given a bite to eat without starvation, and you can work hard to earn a living income."

"But at the bottom of the wizarding world, these are extravagant desires that can never be seen."

"I've been through those bastards countless times, but in order to live, I have to swallow my anger and choose to bow my head, and when I came to Hogwarts, went to the Forbidden Forest, and had a way to punish those miscellaneous things with what I thought was appropriate, my mood was smooth, I was released by the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, and my magic expanded rapidly with my increasing killing of those miscellaneous pieces."

"I realized that I was different, and that I was not just a wizard, I was an awakener, able to use magic as powerful as the gods like those ancient wizards."

"Because we are not human in a sense, we are above human beings—God."

When Seti had eaten all the roasted meat, he took his knife and cut the pieces of meat on a corbel, and there was no arrogance on his face that he thought he was a god, but rather a little careless.

"This is not to tell you that we are born noble or inherently superior, you better not believe a word of bullshit, tell you a little secret, I stumbled upon it when I was studying a curse, those pure-blood wizards who claim to be noble are actually a bunch of mongrels, this is not a curse, it's like I call myself a god, it's a statement, a statement of facts."

"They are beast hybrids, they have the blood of those magical creatures flowing in their bodies, they are not pure people, but hybrids who have retained their human form, the more noble they are, the longer they have a history of beasts, the more blood they have in their bodies."

"One of my girlfriends is from the Greengrass family, she's pure-blooded, but she's a good girl, it's rare not to treat me coldly as a Muggle-born person, the women of their family have always been plagued by blood curses, if they don't take long-term medication, they will transform into animals because of blood curses, from about thirty years old, they will be transformed longer and longer, until they are completely beasts."

"It was a poor girl, and although she broke up with me later due to family reasons, I got a tube of blood from her and discovered the secret of the so-called pure blood."

"Let's get back to the point, the question of God."

The sound of flames grilling pieces of meat rang out again.

"What do you think magic is?"

"Is the summoned flame a real flame?"

Seti lifted the muzzle of the gun and gently pulled the trigger: "The flames are blazing", and a burning flame floated above the muzzle.

"I don't know if you've studied spells, but I've taken the time to explore them, and I've found that the flames summoned by using spells aren't real flames, and while this fire has all the qualities of fire, it's not really flames."

He took a piece of wood from the side, and then lit it with the flame of the muzzle, and almost instantly, the wood, which still had some moisture, burned violently, and turned into a small torch, and when Seti removed the flame from the muzzle, the fire burning on the stick changed its previous ferocity, and gently licked the wood.

"This is the real flame, the flame of nature."

Seti threw the burning wood into a bucket filled with water, and with a clatter, the burning wood was extinguished, and then he threw the flame burning on the muzzle of the gun into the water, and the water in the bucket bubbled up and began to boil in a very short time.

"A magic flame can't be extinguished by any non-magical means, at least while it's burning, whether it's in an airtight container or under water, the flame won't go out until the magic is exhausted, but if we use other means, like - magic."

Seti reached out and grabbed forward, and a captive tied to a stake was dragged over.

"Intense stimulation will make the magic in the wizard's body overflow." As he spoke, Seti reached out and broke the captive's arm, as easily as breaking a branch, and a dull scream rang out, and Harry saw a pale blue smoke rising from the wizard's body, and the magic of ordinary wizards was pale blue, and Harry was well aware of this.

Another magical flame erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and then landed on the creature's chest, burning quietly.

But as the flames burned, the burning pain made the wizard twitch and struggle frantically, and his overflowing magic power became more and more, but in three or five seconds, the magic flame that could have burned for a long time was wrapped in rising magic, and then completely extinguished.

"Magic flames can be extinguished with more mana, and of course spells can be used, which is more efficient, and using mana to extinguish it is a stupid solution, but it also works."

"A wizard's magic can conjure up many things, but in essence, what magic creates is imitation, not creation."

"Transfiguration is the best example of this, where what is false transformed by magic can never be real, because it is imitation, not alteration or creation."

"But we can."

Seti snapped the half-dead captive's neck, ending his suffering, and then spoke with a serious face.

"Yol (Fire)"

He spat out a strange word, and a tiny flame ignited from his fingertips.

"That's why I think we are not human beings, but should be called God, and although I don't really like the word God, I hate that feeling of being on top, but who makes it impossible to have any other exact word to describe what we do?"

"I'm not 100% sure that this flame was created out of nothing, but at least it's a real flame, something special, completely consistent with the flame of nature, not a simulated flame by the imitation of magic."

"It can be extinguished—" Seti slowly lowered her fingers into the bucket, the rootless fire extinguished by the water.

"It can be manipulated by me at will-" As Seti continued to input black and silver magic into it, the flame swelled to the size of a fist, and heated up rapidly, after being thrown far away by Seti, the fist-sized flame floated more than ten meters high, its color changed from orange red at the beginning to yellowish white, and then to cyan blue, after a pause of a few seconds, the flame took on a strange purple color.

The rising heat caused the temperature around the flame to rise sharply, and the air distorted by the high heat caused the flame's shape to fluctuate, and the grass below ten meters began to carbonize and blacken, and the soil began to turn red and melt.

As the flame faded to purple and gradually turned colorless, the terrible heat burned a blazing lava, and the captives tied to the stake struggled like never before, and when the terrible heat hit, their hair, clothing, and ropes were burned, but they turned into humanoid torches before they were completely scalded and finally reduced to ashes.

"In Muggle mouths, God created the world, and I, at this moment, have I created a flame?"

The colorless heat source that distorted the air was gone, but the uncooled pool of lava on the ground was still churning bubbles, not hallucinations, but traces of a flame.

"Are there any secrets to the creation of the world that we can understand without learning the magic texts?"

"This will be the goal that I plan to spend my life pursuing after graduation, I want to figure out the true meaning of these words, I am an adult, and I also feel that my growth has come to an end, even if I continue to get stronger, I will not continue to gain the knowledge that is like blood inheritance."

"Here, I share with you, my companions, my friends, my share of knowledge, and I hope that one day, one of us will find all the magic texts, and try them, and boldly try to see if we can create a real world, and do the miracle of creation like a god."

"yol-fire, wuld-whirlwind, strun-storm, bah-rage, qo-lightning, mul-strength, qua-protection, slen-flesh, evenaar-extinction."

"This is all I have inherited, and I hope that you will leave behind the knowledge you have inherited, so that one day, our successor can complete all the puzzle pieces and touch the miracle that belongs to the gods."

Seti waved at Harry, then pointed ahead, "Behind that wall is my lab at Hogwarts, and there's a little gift in there, maybe you'll like it." ”

The projection of magic faded away, and a black and silver vortex swirled slowly in the middle of the room, waiting for the next visitor to wake it up.
