Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 381 Climbing High
“Well, thank you very much, Mr. Krum, for your reading,” said Dumbledore. “Tonight, I have much to say to you all,” said Dumbledore, “but first I must sadly announce that we have suffered a tremendous loss today. We have lost a very good man who should have been sitting here.”

Dumbledore gestured to the Gryffindor table. “Enjoy our cheers, and share this glorious moment with Harry. I hope everyone will stand and raise a glass to Tyrell!”

Everyone stood up, and the sound of benches being moved filled the hall. They all raised their wine glasses and said in unison in deep, resonant voices, "Tiera."

As he raised his glass, Dumbledore glanced up at the clock on the wall—

11:57

"Tierra fully embodies the fine traditions of Gryffindor; he is a kind, loyal, and devoted friend." For some reason, Dumbledore paused as he said this, clutching his chest, his facial muscles twitching as if he had swallowed a fly. "He, he, he is a diligent and hardworking student; he upholds fairness and fair competition."

At this point, Dumbledore paused again, "His death has shocked you all. We must remember him! We must remember this boy, this boy who was so..."

"Phew," Dumbledore caught his breath and continued, "So great, so lovable?"

Dumbledore glanced at the clock: "11:58."

How come only a minute has passed?

“Let us remember him! Let us remember him! Let us observe three minutes of silence for him!” Dumbledore said. “Remember the name, remember the man, remember Tyrell! Remember what he looked like, what he did, what he did.”

11:59

A Tiera, seemingly existing in another dimension, walked in from outside the auditorium and slowly sat down in the front row.

Harry, who was also sitting in the first row, was startled and looked around—

“Let us remember him! Let us keep him alive in our hearts!” Dumbledore said, raising his hands. “Let us remember the boy Tyella, and let him live on forever in our hearts!”

00:00:00

On the desolate lunar surface, Tiera, suspended in mid-air, took off the time converter hanging around her neck. It was a pale golden hourglass, lying quietly in Tiera's palm.

Tiera turned the time converter toward the black compartment outside the alchemical array.

The time converter disappeared into the room, and after a short while, a spinning time converter, a blood-red magic artifact, and a phoenix that was half bone and half flame flew out from mid-air and floated in front of Tiera.

Tiera first inserted the spinning time converter into her empty right eye socket.

He put the magic stone in his mouth again, his throat twitched, and he swallowed it.

Finally, there was the half-dead phoenix, which Tiera pierced into her right arm—

Almost immediately after Tierra had done all this—

A magnificent sword inlaid with rubies burst forth from the black compartment—

"Well--"

Tiera, suspended in the divine triangle, let out a muffled groan—

The Gryffindor sword pierced his heart.

Tiera felt her spiritual dimension slowly dissipating, being eroded—

Just then, almost at the same moment Tiera was pierced by the sword, the door to the black chamber standing outside the ritual alchemy array opened, and another Tiera walked out.

That Tiera had a golden right eye and a right arm made of white bone wreathed in flames—

Tiera, who emerged from the cubicle, smiled at Tiera inside the alchemical array.

"Ah—ah—ah—!"

Tiera, inside the alchemical matrix, couldn't help but howl—

He felt that his spiritual dimension, which was already covered by seven layers of spiritual walls, was so vulnerable, like an egg that suddenly hit a rock and was shattered.

Tiera was collapsing, dying inch by inch, from her physical body to her spiritual essence and even her mental dimension.

The three staircases of Tyrell were all crafted from Voldemort's Horcruxes, so using Voldemort's Death Curse to begin the path to godhood is the optimal solution.

Death in the material dimension—Voldemort's Killing Curse, where the material dimension infinitely approaches zero.

Death in the spiritual dimension—the Gryffindor sword, tainted with basilisk venom and Fiendfire, brings the spiritual dimension infinitely close to zero.

The death of the spiritual dimension—the shattering of the soul brought about by the encounter of two Tiera from different timelines, with the spiritual dimension infinitely approaching zero.

All three dimensions are simultaneously returning to the origin of the three-dimensional and divine dimensions.

—The ceremony to become a god begins!
The Philosopher's Stone inside Tiera's abdomen turned into a vague "point." Tiera's body, soul, magic, the still-functioning Time-Turner carried by her, the Gryffindor sword, and the phoenix skeleton all collapsed and passed through that "point."

Having traversed the Path of the Fire Sword, and crossed three curtains of death—

Tiera will ascend to divinity.

Centered on Tiera within the divine triangle, the surrounding space and time collapse and condense towards the center; everything is distorted, everything is slowly and initially disintegrating—

It sucked everything in like a black hole—

However, the three triangles formed by the flowing silver, the pillar copper, and the sky gold remained completely unaffected. Along with the "parasites," "inheritors," and "madmen" within them, they remained fixed in place, silently supporting the operation of the entire alchemical array. The suction force at the center of the divine triangle weakened, and the central "point" shrank smaller and smaller, until it disappeared completely—

Standing outside the alchemical array, Tiera had already waved her hand, creating a notebook and rapidly making some kind of record since the start of the ascension ceremony:

"The purpose of the Heavenly Gold, the Pillar Bronze, and the Flowing Silver is to stabilize the 'Stairway' in the initial stages of the ascension ritual, preventing the 'Foundation' from being contaminated by the 'Stairway' before it occupies the divine dimension."
—This is the future Tiera. To be precise, this is the Tiera who, after successfully completing the ascension ritual, used the time converter to travel back from the future to before the match and gave her will to Viktor Krum and Fleur Delacour.

At the center of the divine triangle, that ethereal "point" suddenly experienced a kind of conceptual explosion—

Like the singularity at the very beginning of the universe—

From nothingness, countless hands, countless legs, countless bodies, and countless faces emerged from the singularity at the center of the divine triangle—they were countless Tyellas.

Those countless Tiera are largely the same, yet each is different—

They were beautiful, handsome, intelligent, treacherous, ferocious, or cruel, each with a different expression, stretching outwards, extending outwards, and soon, "Tiera" covered the entire alchemical matrix, and soon, it overflowed the alchemical matrix—

The most troublesome part of the ascension ritual is the third death, that is, the death of the spiritual dimension—

Even the death of the physical body and the collapse of the spiritual dimension cannot deny a person's existence, because he still has a spiritual dimension, that is, he still has a soul.

But the shattering of the soul signifies the shattering of this person's perception of existence—

This person will be completely reduced to nothingness.

This is why Hermione once said that having one's soul sucked away by a Dementor is a more terrible punishment than being executed.

But to become a god, one must kill oneself—

The origin of the coordinates for the three dimensions of matter, spirituality, and mind is also the origin of the coordinates for the fourth dimension.

To kill one's material, spiritual, and mental dimensions, reducing them to zero, one must then contact the origin of the three coordinates, touch the magic stone, and only then can one cross that "door" and arrive at the divine dimension from the origin of the coordinates.

But even if you do that, you'll only be a simple divine being—

To put it simply, it is a purely divine being.

This divine being has nothing—no memory, no cognition, no worldview.

It was as blank as a sheet of paper, pure divine power.

But human existence inevitably leaves its mark.

Your relatives, friends, classmates, teachers, and everyone you have ever come into contact with will leave their mark on your spiritual dimension.

These imprints are useless under normal circumstances, but when your spiritual dimension is shattered, leaving only divinity, these imprints will collectively form your coordinates in the spiritual dimension, allowing your shattered spirit to reunite and enabling you to return from the divine dimension—

This is the process of "descending from above" in the Jade Record.

However, in the process of reconstructing these imprints, one's self-perception will also be affected to some extent.

This is why Tiera felt that Merlin's style in his diary changed so drastically before and after he became a god.

This is not solely due to the corruption by the Outer Gods—

To be precise, Merlin killed his own spiritual dimension, and because he lacked the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, he relied entirely on others' perceptions of him—that is, entirely on the Holy Spirit's influence—to reshape his spiritual dimension.

Others' understanding of Merlin is one-sided and incomplete. They see only the genius-like great magician, but they don't see the entire library of an ancient civilization that Merlin relied on.

Others see Merlin as strong and flamboyant, but they don't know how cautious and treacherous he is when exploring forbidden knowledge.

Therefore, after becoming a god, Merlin became increasingly focused on the Merlin known to the outside world, and gradually lost his original caution and prudence on the path of exploring these forbidden knowledge.

This is the principle behind the path to divinity through the Triune Holy Spirit—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Son went on the path to godhood, and the overlapping imprint of the Son with the Father in the hearts of everyone else constitutes the Holy Spirit's responsibility to pull him back from the divine dimension.

At this moment, the Father, through the connection with the Son and the connection between the Holy Spirits, merged with the Son, who had returned to the three-dimensional world and become God. With his own complete and undamaged spiritual dimension, he replaced the Son's chaotic spiritual dimension composed of imprints.

But Tierra was tricked by the reckless Merlin, and without a Father or a Son, Tierra decided to go all in and find another way—

In the process of Tyella's reconstruction of her spiritual dimension, the Tyella seen through Harry's eyes, Hermione's eyes, Dumbledore's eyes, Sirius's eyes, and so on, were all merely hooks pulling him back from the divine dimension—

What Tiera truly used to rebuild itself was the Tiera as it saw itself—

The self-awareness brought about by the complete spiritual dimension of Tiera from the future can help Tiera reconstruct the most authentic and complete spiritual dimension when she becomes a god.

Merlin's ascension was influenced by others' perceptions of him—everyone's understanding of the legendary archmage, Merlin. Therefore, when Merlin acquired his divine dimension and reconstructed his spiritual dimension, he was affected by these perceptions, becoming increasingly arrogant and conceited, increasingly considering himself the genius magician Merlin. After becoming a god, Merlin remembered some things and forgot others—

He forgot he was a cowherd, he forgot the dangers of that knowledge, he thought he could handle that dangerous knowledge, and in the end—

He was controlled by knowledge.
