Chapter 237 The Legend of External Gods
The Age of Stars, pioneered by Ni, is also known as the Age of the Spirit, where stars and the moon, in a sense, represent destiny and the soul.
Both of these things can interfere with others silently.
The Faded One became Ni's king, and with the help of this celestial deity, he traversed worlds, bringing countless spells.
So, have I been interfered with in other ways by Ni?
Hermione had some doubts. Although it seemed that magic and the moon form were both things that would benefit her, it appeared that the deity really just wanted to help her king fulfill his regret.
But even if Ni really meant no harm, what about the dark moon behind her?
Stars are the origin of life and also reveal the fate of all beings, while the Dark Moon is very complex. It possesses the triple laws of the moon, darkness, and cold, and is also said to represent the mastery of one's own will.
"What if the Dark Moon is also an Outer God?" Hermione began to draw an analogy with the Invisible Mother of Reality.
The Mother of Truth created the Blood Monster race and, from outside the border, remotely altered their racial form, transforming the original horned people, a slave race, into a dangerous, bloodthirsty community.
"Then, will Dark Moon use Ni's hand to influence my will?" She couldn't help but have this concern.
The fact that Animagus transformed into its moon form was already quite strange. She had previously assumed it was an accidental fusion with the full moon magic, but now it seemed there were many problems involved.
"First of all, it shouldn't be Nigan. She herself was willing to die once in order to break free from her fate, and her soul was attached to a doll. Even if we put ourselves in her shoes, it's highly unlikely that she would be willing to control the fate of others."
On the contrary, those Outer Gods are quite happy to spread their influence in different worlds.
"If the Dark Moon wants me to become the Nee of this world—" Hermione's heart skipped a beat; she had to admit, it was a very likely option.
And it must be said, this future is quite enticing.
If left unchecked and the moon's phases change, will one day one smoothly become a god-like being, and then find an anchor that can guide one's way—her king?
Then, a new Dharma Ring will be created, just like the Intersection, ushering in a new era of stars in the new world.
"But what's the difference between that and being chosen by two fingers?" She shook her head vigorously.
Such a deity is probably not even as good as Queen Marika, at least she could smash the ring in the end and let the borderlands decide a new era on their own.
If one is completely controlled by the Outer Gods, then even if one creates the Law Ring and becomes the god of a world, one is merely a vessel containing the laws, and may not even be as free as becoming a king.
Of course, judging from Ni's laws, the Stars represent an era of freedom. She was merely drawing an analogy between the Golden Law and the ways of the True Mother; perhaps the Dark Moon isn't as sinister as she thought. He was simply offering her a possibility.
And incidentally spread their influence.
But this was enough to make Hermione more vigilant. In this new life, she had abandoned even the Twofinger and the Supreme Will she had served her whole life. She didn't want to have anything to do with any god anymore.
"Even Michaela, who is known for her gentle laws, has done many things that are hard to bear," she murmured. When enforcing the law, even the gentlest person, the most free-spirited deity, is probably not hesitant to control others.
Just like Michaela's alluring power.
For this reason, she decided to slow down the growth of the lunar form and stop spreading her faith.
Maria, Draco, and the four Blood Curse Orcs—that's enough. The Moon Form is constantly circulating its magic power, and even though faith limits it, it's still slowly getting stronger.
Instead, she needs to focus more on shaping her own heart. Even if she wants to rebuild the world order, it must be her own law and her own rules.
"From now on, I must be more resolute! More proactive! More assertive!" she silently reminded herself, to forget the Finger Witch's code of conduct and establish Hermione's code of conduct!
On the other hand, she also needed to strengthen her learning of the magic of this world, which was another way she could think of to get rid of the possible control of the Outer Gods.
She wants to make the magic of this world her specialty, so that when she enters the ranks of the top wizards, she won't be controlled by the gods at the end of the path because of its limitations.
These past few days, he'd been spending time alone with Dumbledore, and the two of them, aside from occasionally keeping an eye on Voldemort hiding in the forest,
We just talked about magic and the path ahead.
Hermione had already finished most of the 7th-grade textbooks, making it the perfect time to enroll in advanced classes with the white wizard.
Dumbledore was generous with his knowledge, even fearing that Hermione might not have asked enough questions and hadn't fully understood.
He practically indoctrinated her, breaking down and dissecting every profound point of knowledge, not only explaining it thoroughly but also drawing parallels to other points, ultimately building a vast and detailed theoretical framework of magic for Hermione.
Over the course of a few days, Hermione, with Dumbledore's help, successfully completed her Apparition practice, in addition to Runeven. From now on, she can use Miriam's Vanish for short-range combat and Apparition for long-range movement.
Her other spells also improved significantly. With her breakthrough in Apparition, she mastered the Portkey spell; and after learning more about runes, her Unseen Stretching Charm also improved dramatically. She immediately expanded the capacity of her bag of treasures. If Dumbledore hadn't stopped her, she would have liked to go into the forest again to see if there were any unburnt Green Flame Party supplies.
The aspect that best reflects combat power is the Weather Spell.
This spell has extremely high limits; even if an ordinary wizard learns it, at most he can only gather a rain cloud on the ceiling, which is not as effective as a water spell.
The more powerful ones, like the meteorological department in Malfoyburg, could cast spells together to change the weather over a city and maintain it for a period of time. But they only did this on major occasions like Christmas. After each spell, they were so exhausted that they had to rest for a long time.
The truly powerful ones, like Dumbledore, have weather spells that are like natural disasters. They can not only bring down normal natural disasters, such as wind, snow, thunder, and lightning, but also abnormal disasters such as fire rain and acid rain, like the apocalyptic scenes described in religious texts.
Under Dumbledore's unreserved tutelage, Hermione's magical progress improved rapidly, and she could now use the Weather Charm, which she had only dabbled in before, quite well.
With one willing to teach and the other willing to learn, they almost forgot about Voldemort.
It wasn't until seven days later, when the oath ribbon on Old Deng's wrist disappeared on its own, that they realized how quickly time had passed.
"It's alright. If you have any questions later, you can come to the principal's office directly. The password is 'Zzzy Honeybee.' With your current level, I'm afraid most professors would have a hard time answering your questions."
"Even if I'm not here, the portrait McGonagall prepared for me is hidden in the cupboard. You can ask him, it'll be the same thing." Dumbledore had long ago entrusted McGonagall to make a portrait for him, which is similar to many elderly people in the East making their own coffins in advance.
