Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 217 "Paradise"

After his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class after being discharged from the hospital, Lupin finally agreed to teach Harry how to defend against Dementors after much pleading from Harry.

Harry thought he might never hear his mother scream before she died, and he might never see Tyella lying in the school hospital protecting him again—

Time flew by and it was already the end of November. In the second Quidditch match of the term, Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff, which meant that their next Gryffindor match would be against Slytherin.

All of these things combined significantly boosted Harry's spirits.

Gryffindor still has a chance to play, although they can't afford to lose another game now.

Wood regained his energy and tirelessly trained his team despite the biting wind and rain that lasted into December. Harry didn't see any Dementors on campus.

It was clear that Dumbledore's anger had confined them to their posts at the school entrance.

Meanwhile, Tiera seemed to be getting busier and busier, and her temper was becoming increasingly irritable and restless.

Sirius Black couldn't find Peter Pettigrew anywhere, nor could he find Tyella anywhere either.

This unusual situation caused Sirius to become increasingly anxious.

Initially, as the end of November approached, Sirius was worried about the potential exposure that might occur after he finished the Polyjuice Potion he was taking.

But after finishing the last drop of compound decoction in his hand—

Sirius was astonished to discover that five hours after drinking the last drop of Polyjuice Potion, he had not reverted to his original form—

This far surpasses the effects of all known compound decoctions—

As time went by, Sirius Black still didn't turn back into himself—

Sirius tried transforming into the Animagus dog form and then back—

No, still no, Sirius Black still hasn't returned to his original form.

Even after Sirius reverts from his Animagus form, he is still "Tiera"—

While both Animagus and Polyjuice Potion belong to the category of Transfiguration magic, Animagus is a Level I-2 spell within Transfiguration, making it a higher-level spell than the Level II-1 Polyjuice Potion.

According to the principles of magic, when two spells of the same type are applied to the same object at the same time, the spell of the higher level will override the spell of the lower level.

In other words, when Sirius Black uses Animagus transformation, the transformation of Animagus will cause the transformation of the compound decoction to fail.

Unless Sirius Black took a more advanced magical potion—

Currently, the only known transformation magic higher than I-2 level Animagus is...

Only flesh magic belonging to the N-level—

All N-level spells are forbidden spells without exception.

Using, researching, studying, or illegally disseminating any of these will directly earn you a lifetime stay in Azkaban.

……

Meanwhile, the Dreamland—

Although Tyella was in the Dreamlands, she wasn't completely unaware of everything at Hogwarts; it's just that Tyella had absolutely no interest in paying attention to Hogwarts at the moment.

Tierra believed that unless Sirius Black was truly insane, the chances of him being exposed were virtually zero.

Tiera has now boarded the large, black, multi-oared sailing ship of the Coldlands inhabitants.

About a month ago, Tiera agreed to the cats' offer. After petting them for free for one night, Tiera gained access to the library behind the temple. With High Priest Atal's permission, Tiera copied the section related to "HWHJ" from the Book of Roziel.

For Tiera, this trip was already worthwhile.

The normal path to godhood is an ascension to a higher dimension.

That is, to obtain the coordinates of the divine dimension, permanently occupy the divine dimension, and evolve from a three-dimensional being into a four-dimensional being.

However, based on speculation in Merlin's Notebooks, HWHY's alternative path to godhood involves utilizing the power of "faith." Like "emotion," "faith" is a productive force within the spiritual dimension, but its power is more enduring and stable.

Just as the power of "emotions" can be combined with the power of the spiritual dimension to create black magic, the power of "faith" has a similar use—

The power of "faith" can connect with specific areas of the divine spiritual world, namely, the hellish world—

Then, through a specific ritual, the spiritual world region, which was combined with the power of faith, was separated from hell and split off, becoming a special dimension that exists outside of all other dimensions.

That is, to construct a "heavenly" dimension, or a pseudo-divine dimension, existing outside of the material, spiritual, and mental dimensions.

HWHY, relying on the "Heaven" dimension—a special dimension independent of the other three dimensions—became a false god.

It became a two-dimensional demon with fourth-dimensional characteristics.

No wonder HWHY calls himself the creator, the creator god; in a sense, he did indeed "create" a world.

This dimension is far inferior to the true divine dimension, and HWHY cannot gain any power from this "heavenly" dimension.

The leap from three-dimensional to four-dimensional life, the attainment of godhood, encompasses two aspects:

First, breaking through the shackles of three dimensions and obtaining the power of the divine dimension guarantees the immortality of those who become gods. This is also an inherent attribute of most native divine beings.

Second, upon entering the divine dimension, one will obtain divine dimension coordinates based on the attributes of the offerings used in the ascension ritual.

This divine dimensional coordinate system anchors the god-achiever to a specific rule or law within this universe, granting them a talent based on that rule after achieving godhood.

It's similar to the power of laws in the cultivation novels that Tiera read in her previous life.

The offerings used in the ascension ceremony are also known as "ladders," and only those who ascend to the divine dimension through these "ladders" can obtain this kind of talent involving rules.

The divine talents gained after becoming a god come from the attributes of the "ladder"—

The choice of "steps" is crucial.

If the "ladder" is too weak, it will not be able to support the person who is about to become a god to complete the godhood ritual. The godhood ritual will collapse halfway, and the person who is about to become a god will naturally disappear.

If the "ladder" becomes too powerful, it will propel the god-achiever to madness along a particular rule, greatly increasing their talent value. Then—

Boom! It crashed into an Outer God or an Old One who wields this rule or a similar rule.

Therefore, each person who attains divinity does not choose a single "stairway," but rather multiple "stairways," employing a multi-altar ritual configuration. These "stairways" directly restrain and cancel each other out, ensuring that the person, while achieving divinity, remains firmly within the divine dimension.

This is why Merlin's final diary entry states that one can choose the Supreme Mother Goddess.

Clearly, while Merlin's chosen "stairway" allowed him to successfully ascend to the divine dimension, it also left him with significant aftereffects.

And HWHY, who takes a different path, is even less likely to acquire some kind of talent related to the rules—

Even his fourth dimension is just a fake divine dimension.

The "heaven" that is created by the fusion of the power of "faith" and a part of hell is just a place for resurrection, like a resurrection point in a game.

Moreover, this resurrection point requires the power of constant "faith" to maintain.

However, as long as the power of faith is sufficient, the "Heaven" dimension can continue to operate, that is—

As long as faith endures, heaven will not fall.

Heaven will not fall, and false gods will not die.

This is why certain religions that worship only one god are so eager to proselytize.

"Heh, false gods are immortal?" Tiera sneered after reading the complete version of the Book of Rozier.

That's assuming no one knows HWHY's real name. What if his real name were discovered...?

Haha, Tiera has a hundred ways to make him unable to survive.
