Chapter 76: Ruins
Lightning chased Sherry all the way and broke into the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest, just in time to see the three entangled in a ball. Snape is a master of dark magic, but no matter how many spells he cast, Nagini was not hurt at all.
Then they saw that lightning came all the way from not far away, and trees fell one after another, and branches and leaves flew all over. Seeing this, Bellatrix and Snape stopped, but the snake didn't care so much. It identified Snape and wanted to bite him no matter what.
Sherry identified Nagini, and a gust of wind swept the snake up and threw it directly into the sky, exposing it to the thunder.
Lightning identified Sherry and struck desperately. Sherry held the big snake and flew towards Voldemort at a high speed. He didn't know how long this snake could last. If this snake was not enough for him to completely digest the three Horcruxes, then the next one to take the blame would be the Dark Lord!
However, it turned out that Horcruxes are really difficult to destroy. Nagini kept rolling in the lightning. From a distance, it looked like a snake demon turning into a dragon. The lightning that killed the Death Eaters instantly only left scorch marks on the snake. Horcruxes are indeed the pinnacle of black magic.
No matter how dumb Dumbledore was, he could see that the lightning was currently targeting the Death Eaters, so when he saw a snake rolling with lightning rushing towards him, he hurriedly distanced himself from Voldemort.
Thanks to Nagini, who could withstand the lightning, Sherry could digest the three Horcruxes he swallowed with peace of mind. Although these three treasures, which had been passed down for thousands of years, had experienced the hardships of being tainted and destroyed by black magic, they were still extremely precious.
As the essence of the three treasures was gradually absorbed by the magic net, Sherry suddenly had a strange feeling that he had a place in this world. In the past, he had to rely on Harry to offset the repulsive force of the world, and it was better after absorbing the crown. But never before had I felt so clearly as I did at this moment, that I was a part of this world.
No matter how strong the Horcrux was, it could not withstand so many lightning strikes. Nagini finally became a piece of charcoal, and "popped" in front of Voldemort. I have to say, it smelled pretty good. However, Sherry finally didn't have to hold the tank anymore. He had completely absorbed the three treasures. From then on, the magic network would completely replace the treasures left by the four founders and become a member of this world.
"Haha!" With a loud laugh resounding through the sky, a silver figure appeared from nothing in the middle of the thundercloud. He slowly walked towards Dumbledore and Voldemort, and there seemed to be invisible steps in the void, allowing him to take one step at a time.
At first, this figure was just a vague human-shaped light and shadow. After two or three steps, the outline of his appearance became clearly visible. When he stood on the roof, he already had a physical body, basically the same as a human. The only difference was that there was a constant flash of silver light around him, which made people know at a glance that he was extraordinary.
The thunderclouds in the sky completely dissipated the moment Sherry stepped onto the roof, just as strangely as when they appeared, just disappearing directly without any gradual process.
"Professor Sherry?" Dumbledore asked in surprise, looking at the silver figure.
Sherry didn't say anything. He looked at the ancient castle that had been passed down for thousands of years, and felt a pity in his heart. After the Death Eaters broke into Hogwarts, they destroyed it wantonly, and there were also the demolitions by the trolls and the thunderstorms brought by Sherry. The entire Hogwarts had been destroyed by 70% or 80%, leaving only a ruin. Only near the Slytherin cellar, because Harry was hiding there, Sherry did not lead the lightning there.
"You did all this," Voldemort's face was distorted. Most of his power, including his followers and Horcruxes, were destroyed by Sherry. He wanted to kill Sherry immediately, but he was a little afraid of the other party's ability to summon lightning, "Why?"
"Haha!" Sherry couldn't help laughing. When would the Dark Lord, who killed countless people, ask others for reasons.
"Maybe they look too attractive to lightning!" Sherry said.
This time Voldemort finally couldn't help it, and directly sent a killing curse to Sherry, but Sherry just raised a finger and pointed it in the void in front of him. A light silver shield appeared, blocking Voldemort's killing curse, and finally both disappeared into thin air.
Dumbledore and Voldemort were both surprised. The reason why the three unforgivable curses are notorious is that the damage cannot be repaired. Unless you dodge successfully, you will be in trouble. But now, someone can block the killing curse with bare hands. Who would believe this in the past?
Sherry also realized that he had taken a detour before after the first layer of the magic net was repaired. What is the magic net? Is it a divine artifact? Is it a rule? Is it tangible? Is it intangible?
The answer is both. The essence of the magic net is the fusion of the moon and darkness, that is, the fusion of light and darkness (the moon is born first, and the sun is born later). It is the gathering of the magic spirit of the Moon Goddess and the Dark Lady. It can be said that the magic net is the embodiment of magic spirit. But was magic born after the magic net?
Of course not. When the Moon and the Dark Night fought, there was no such thing as magic, but their fight sounded no different from powerful magic. Why is that?
Because the magic net is actually just a pipeline network that transmits magic energy. Every world actually contains magic, the only difference is the concentration. These magic powers come from the origin of the world and are collectively called original magic.
Original magic is chaotic, disordered, violent, and has obvious periodic fluctuations. When the vitality period comes, cultivation is easy to succeed, and geniuses are born in large numbers. But when the magic power declines, everything is beaten back to its original form. No matter how talented you are or how good your skills are, you will never make any progress. Over time, no one will practice, thus breaking the inheritance.
The magic net is such an energy control regulator. It will make the chaotic and disordered magic power become gentle and orderly, so that it can be easily controlled and directed by the magician to form a series of strange spell effects.
Sherry originally thought that he needed to master the first-level magic of all factions before he could master the first layer of the magic net. This is really unreasonable. Because all spells are created by the magicians with great difficulty according to the magic net and the rules of truth. They are just the product of the collision between the magic net and wisdom, not the essence of the magic net. In fact, the first layer of the magic net was completely mastered by Sherry when the four treasures were completely digested, and the first layer was also repaired.
Speaking of this, Sherry also found a more pitfall. Whether the magic net is damaged or not depends on whether the circuit cycle of the magic net of this layer is complete and whether it can communicate with the magic net of the next layer. It has nothing to do with its coverage area. The size of its coverage area is only related to one thing, that is, energy.
The goddess of the magic net can cover the entire multiverse because she is a goddess. Can she get her salary directly from the origin of the multiverse? Unlike Sherry, who stole (robbed) a few magic treasures, or secretly absorbed the moonlight, his life was so miserable!
To be honest, every god of the magic network should be most grateful to the wizards who use the magic network. Without their continuous innovation and creation, there would be no so many magical spell effects!
As for blocking the killing curse, it is really not a difficult task, as long as you have enough energy and react quickly enough.
"Professor Dumbledore," Sherry didn't even look at Voldemort, "Now we are even!"
After saying that, he flew into the sky like a bird, not using magic or anything, but flying by himself. Since he gained a legitimate position in this world, he naturally also obtained a certain amount of world origin allocation, although the amount is small, it is better to have a long-term flow.
Dumbledore looked at the figure going away with a complicated expression. His attitude towards Sherry was alert at first, then cautious, and finally completely repulsive. After destroying the three Horcruxes, he was ready to turn against him, but he didn't expect Sherry to take the things and leave in an unusually calm manner, without any intention of fighting. Until now, he realized that Sherry was not angry, but was saving up his anger!
Sherry stopped above the Slytherin cellar. He felt a lot of life breath below, and it seemed that there were many smart people. But now the remaining people below are facing a problem. The collapsed part of Hogwarts has blocked the entrance to the cellar tightly. At the beginning, there were not many things blocking it, and it could be opened with magic, but now, there are too many things blocking it and there is no way to remove it. As for opening the exit in the other direction. Sorry, the Slytherin cellar is next to the Black Lake, so either gamble whether you can swim to the surface of the lake before drowning, or dig a passage several dozen meters long from the ground to get out.
At this time, Harry deeply understood why spells were stronger than wizards' magic, that is, applicability. Spells have everything, including cars, houses, and food, and can be used no matter where you go. Witchcraft is just a little quicker to learn, and there are no other advantages.
Sherry waved his hands, and two transparent big hands kept grabbing broken stones and pillars, putting them far away, and soon dug through the entrance to the cellar.
The people below heard the noise, tried to come out, and found it was quiet, and looked around. Wow! It's so empty!
All the castles basically collapsed, and the tallest astronomical tower was also cut off by more than half, and there was still a small section standing stubbornly, which was also full of cracks. It might collapse at any time.
Harry and the others looked at Hogwarts in shock, and they were a little sad. After all, they had lived here for so long, and it was almost their second home. (To be continued)
