Chapter 421 Self-Improvement
The Dark Lord's madness has indeed improved a lot; he hasn't had another episode in the past few days.
Voldemort seems to have hidden himself even deeper. Perhaps Umbridge's body made him realize Grindelwald's interference. Only the Eye of Heaven could accurately locate the Deformed City across the ocean.
He must have somehow concealed his existence, making it extremely difficult to find him through divination.
The old man searched for days in the blazing future but found nothing, and dark circles appeared around his eyes from exhaustion.
Hermione knew there was nothing she could do in a hurry, so she stayed in the library and focused on studying and improving herself.
From the heart of the Fiendfire in the rainforest, she glimpsed the source of Grindelwald's power—the Great Rune of Destruction.
That truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest and most terrifying law in terms of combat power. Placed at the border, it is roughly equivalent to the forbidden existence of Mad Fire.
Death is only part of the cycle of life, while destruction is the ultimate end of all things. Even Dumbledore, who possesses the complete runes of rebirth, cannot contend with Grindelwald, who possesses destruction.
"Placing it at the border is equivalent to the Faded Ones going through the Mad Fire ending, right?" Hermione suddenly thought.
Although her faded one eventually ushered in the Age of Stars, he also searched for "grapes" for the blind witch, and ventured deeper and deeper into the sewers of the royal city. His mastery of mad fire magic was unparalleled, and he personally executed the weak and suffering mad fire king Midra.
If Grindelwald had continued down his path, he would most likely have become the King of Fiends, whose Fiendfire would have incinerated everything and seemed to have a severe corrosive effect on the mind.
"The good news is that this world doesn't have three fingers, so the old man can still control himself."
However, this made Hermione feel even more urgent. She had inadvertently opened the door to the world, and the influence of the Outer God might descend at any time. Grindelwald, who was like a time bomb, had improved somewhat, but it was probably just a prolongation of the fuse. She had to improve herself as soon as possible to deal with the various crises in the future.
"Even a fully-fledged freshman wouldn't be enough for him to fight—"
She pondered that even if she completely killed Voldemort and pieced together a complete rune, it would probably be no match for Grindelwald, the fully-formed Lord of Fiendfyre. If things really developed to that point, she would need at least two or even more complete runes to have any chance of fighting him.
"New Order"
It is now confirmed that Voldemort has the other half of the new life, while the other half of Order is most likely with the fairies.
"What about Death? Where is the Death rune?" Hermione suddenly thought.
Death and rebirth are opposites, and she once thought she was possessed by Voldemort.
If death and rebirth form a cycle, even if it cannot form a magic circle, it should still have an effect greater than 2. Moreover, she has so many death spells at the intersection. If she has the blessing of the Great Rune, its power will be much stronger.
"They can't all be with the fairies, can they?" She was startled by her own thought. The wizarding world, at its most powerful, was...
Occupying the realms of new life, destruction, and half of order, the fact that the Muggles supported by the fairies can fight Grindelwald to a standstill suggests that they possess at least one and a half Great Runes.
She couldn't help but speculate in this direction: the civilization of the Muggle world would bring them the other half of the Great Rune of Order. From ancient magic, the fairies probably also obtained a complete Great Rune, which might be the source of the power of the Winter Curse!
As things stand, to gain enough power to fight Grindelwald, besides killing Voldemort, we also need to go to the goblins.
She hadn't forgotten the fairy key she'd gotten from Volgograd. The broken door knocker was still hidden at the bottom of her bag. She wouldn't take it out easily on Grindelwald's territory, so she hadn't really studied it properly until now.
There was also her own rune, a vague seedling that was still budding. Several months had passed without any sign of life, and Hermione didn't know how to help it grow. She could only let nature take its course and see if reading more books and learning magic would help.
In recent days, she has browsed through many books in the library, including Muggle science books and various forbidden books on dark magic. The old man, Fiend, was happy to let her explore these things and would explain those evil spells to her in detail.
Hermione said she only absorbed the theory but didn't try it out in practice. Although she also knew how to cast the Death Curse and Fiendfire, she had never used either of them.
The Ghost Owl brought new news from Hogwarts: Hilmi, who was trying to make amends, had been behaving himself lately and, after receiving Hermione's letter, had completed his attempt on Maria with maximum efficiency.
The newly formed rune, applied to the little wolf girl in the form of a talisman, was indeed remarkably effective.
Compared to the physical order seal she created using fragments of the Ancestral Tree, Maria didn't need to go through so much trouble. She could simply imagine the image of the newborn seal that Hilmi had shown her and borrow its power.
"I adapted a part of the Two-Finger Prayer and incorporated it into the prayer system of the newly born Great Rune!" Hilmi wrote in his mind, and Hermione could almost see his smug expression.
"Recovery, Emergency Recovery, Great Recovery, Healing Poison, Fire Protection, Magic Protection, Lightning Protection, King's Recovery, King's Healing—"
These prayers, which once belonged to the Two-Finger Faith, are quite compatible in nature with the newly reborn Great Rune. The power of the werewolf's wild curse is transformed through the runes into healing and protective power that can be bestowed upon others.
This is undoubtedly a significant leap forward. The werewolves, who used to be able to only use beast prayers, have suddenly become omnipotent.
Besides serving as brave warriors charging into battle, these peaceful werewolves who pray under the moon can now also transform into healers and guardians. To say nothing of anything else, their various healing prayers alone can greatly alleviate the current predicament of the somewhat inadequate medical system in New Hogsmeade.
Even more beneficial than ordinary werewolves are wizard werewolves and blood curse beastmen. In addition to the blood curse, they also possess wizard magic, which can be converted through the newborn seal, making them much more endurance than ordinary werewolves.
"This is good news, it allows Maria to start promoting it." Hermione thought.
Hilmi's creative actions also inspired her. If the newly created Great Rune could do it, then there was no reason why the Order Great Rune couldn't. Since there was no distance limit to the laws of prayer, she could also develop some prayers to operate according to the laws of order.
"I might be able to refer to the Golden Law and the Law of Michaela to develop new prayers for order," she thought of a series of prayers called the Halo of the Three Transformations, the Halo of Radagon, the Halo of the Chosen, and the Holy Law of the Death-Curing.
However, that was based on the fundamental principles of the Golden Law, the principles of regression and causality, and the prayers developed by Michaela's gentle laws. The Great Rune of this world's order should require a completely different system.
