Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 116 Ceremony
[That brat, he finally opened...]

[Wait a minute! Why did he suddenly agree so readily?]

Immediately afterwards, Tiera sensed a trace of spiritual power touching his mental barrier.

Brain Occupation Activated—

Countless illusions and false memories disguise Tiera's mental walls as a normal person's memory palace.

Tom Riddle meticulously examined and scrutinized everything.

Tierra gradually revealed the "secret hidden deep in her heart" to Tom Riddle.

First, at the very beginning:
The desire for power and strength—

Envy, jealousy, and the ensuing hatred towards Harry—

Hatred for the pure-blood wizards around him—

Jealousy of the Malfoys —

However, after Tiera first met Gilderoy Lockhart at the bookstore—

Tierra was attracted to this handsome, narcissistic, incompetent, but very deceptive wizard—

Gradually, Tierra began to read his works—

Gradually, Tierra began to question Tom Riddle's theory of power above all else.

Gradually, Tyella's infatuation with Tom Riddle subsided, and her love faded.

She then became infatuated with this handsome and powerful wizard—

Tom Riddle felt like he'd really screwed over.

All that hard work over a semester, all that coaxing, deception, and groveling to cultivate a little bit of affection in Tiera's heart, was snatched away by someone else in an instant!
If I weren't just a Horcrux, I would definitely give each of you a Killing Curse—

Tierra read what Tom Riddle was thinking.

Then Tierra used Occlumency to demonstrate several other psychological changes in Tom Riddle, until he was finally about to lose his patience.

Tierra showed Tom Riddle what he most wanted to see—

The real reason Tiera wanted to open the secret chamber—

That was a path Tom Riddle could never have imagined—

Tom Riddle saw a ritual in Tyella's mind—

A very rare, but quite powerful, ritual.

Young Tierra, captivated by Gilderoy Lockhart's "unparalleled beauty" and "superior" magical skills, felt ashamed of her own appearance and wanted to improve her strength and looks through dark magic.

Thanks to Tom Riddle's brainwashing over the past ten months, Thiella has gradually developed an "extreme" personality.

Tierra acted immediately on her idea, spending several nights searching through the forbidden book section for a shortcut to becoming a great wizard.

And he finally found the answer he needed in a book called "Experiments in Magic for Muggles and Mudbloods".

These are not the experimental records documented in "Experiments with Muggles and Mudbloods"—

These experiments, let alone Voldemort, seemed far too crude and simplistic to even a novice like Tyrell, who had been influenced by Tom Riddle's dark magic.

It's less of an experiment and more of a torture manual for Muggles and Mudbloods.

But inside the book's cover, Tierra inadvertently found a folded piece of parchment—

It explains what the God of Wisdom and Magic is, how to set up a ritual, how to summon the God of Wisdom and Magic, and how to expel the God of Wisdom and Magic when the ritual goes out of control.

Regardless of what the "god of wisdom and magic" is...

With Tom Riddle's magical skill, he could tell the difference between a genuine and fake ritual at a glance—

This ceremony is real.

Tom Riddle made his judgment immediately based on his knowledge and past experience.

Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

Tierra read Tom Riddle's thoughts.

[This mud-born creature is incredibly lucky! It actually discovered a ritual that harnesses divine power!]

Even without your love! Even without you! I can be resurrected! I can be resurrected in an even more powerful form!

Who needs a filthy, stupid Mudblood!

Tyella knew that Tom Riddle had already believed in and was ready to use the ritual—

After all, anyone would be devastated to find that all their hard work and planning over ten months had come to nothing.

But when another, more perfect and more powerful method appeared at the right time—

Anyone would immediately switch to using this method.

And ignoring this method is such a coincidence.

Large-scale ritual magic generally includes the following four aspects—

The altar, the officiant, the offerings, and the ritual.

The process can be a spell or just ordinary words—

Since the entire ritual setup is equivalent to constructing a super-stable magical configuration in the real world, incantations are not so necessary.

Take Voldemort's resurrection ritual in his fourth year, the "stewed Voldemort in an iron pot" as an example—

The altar—the entire family cemetery centered around the graves of Tom Riddle's generation—is a massive magical structure, formed by the cemetery's status in occult principles and the fact that all the tombstones were rearranged by Peter Pettigrew according to Voldemort's ritual requirements.

The host—Peter Pettigrew—needless to say, Voldemort couldn't find a better person.

The offerings—the blood of the enemy, the bones of the father, the flesh of the servant.

And the necessary procedures:
A three-line verse-like incantation that serves only as an adhesive—

“Bone of the father unknowingly given you will renew your son
Flesh of the served willingly given you will revive your master
Blood of the enemy forcibly aken you will resurrect your foe”

The ritual in Tyrell's mind—the so-called "summoning of the god of wisdom and magic" ritual revealed to Voldemort through Occlumency—was a rare double-altar ritual.

The offerings were placed on the main altar, while the officiant was seated on a separate, protective secondary altar.

The ritual was not a simple, adhesive-like incantation, but rather a long, complex, and difficult-to-pronounce prayer—

Starting last Christmas, Tiera translated the Arabic text from the Necronomicon that summons the Gate of All Gates into Old English, which has a lower magical value, and then used Chinese pinyin and English phonetic symbols to create a Chinese version.

In addition to the original spells from the Necronomicon, Tiera deliberately added many useless Latin embellishments—

"Hear my call (Old English)"

"Great god of wisdom, great god of magic, you are wisdom itself, you are the essence of knowledge." (Latin)

"We beseech you, we beseech you to grant us wisdom (Latin) — Lord of the Endless Void (Old English)"

"You are the origin of the universe (Latin), you are the one to which all things are unified (Old English)."

"You are infinity, you are nothingness (Latin), you are—all things that are composed of themselves (Old English)."

"You are the Starshifter, you are the Pillar of the Universe, you are the Foundation of Dimensions (Old English)"

"We loudly praise you (Latin) — Gate of a Thousand Doors (Old English) —"

"We pray to you (Latin) — Glory of a multitude (Old English) — hoping that you will redeem our souls (Latin)"

"You are—the creator and ruler of all wisdom and knowledge (Old English)"

"You are the viceroy of the blind and foolish god at the center of the universe (Old English)."

"Redeem my soul (Latin) — Guardian of the Abyss (Old English) —"

"Please save my body (Latin) — the last sharp point (Old English) —"

"Grant me the power to transcend limits (Old English) — Aphrodite (Old English) —"

"Grant me knowledge beyond reason (Old English) — Tavel At Ummel (Old English) —"

"I beg for your attention, I beg for your concern, I beg for your gaze (in pinyin) --"

"lak-Sathath - NAFL's FTHAGN"

"Your servant summons you—Yog-Sothoth (pinyin)"
