Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 486 Genesis

"I'm not going... I don't need to go to the school hospital... I don't want to..."

After being dragged out of the History of Magic exam room, Harry spoke incoherently, seemingly trying to break free from Professor Topherdy.

Professor Topherdy had just helped Harry into the foyer under the watchful eyes of the surrounding students, and now he was looking at him with great concern.

“I’m fine, sir,” Harry stammered, wiping the sweat from his face. “Really, I was just sleeping, sleeping, and had a nightmare.”

"The pressure of the exam!" the old wizard said sympathetically, patting Harry's shoulder with a trembling hand. "It's alright, young man, it's alright! Okay, have a glass of ice water, and then are you planning to go back to the Great Hall? The exam is almost over, but you might be able to finish the last question."

“Yes,” Harry said excitedly, “I mean… uh… no… I’ve, I’ve done my best, I think… um… I think…”

“Very good, very good,” the old wizard said gently. “I will take your exam paper away. I still suggest you lie down and rest.”

"I, I, I will..." Hal nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you very much."

……

Meanwhile, Hathaway Romanoff, also in the History of Magic exam hall, paused for a moment shortly after Harry disappeared from the exam hall. She then threw down her pen, stood up, and, ignoring the astonished looks around her and the invigilator's shouts, pushed open the door and walked out of the exam hall.

A few minutes later, Hathaway Romanoff walked through a portal of light around a deserted corner—

Passing through the portal of light, Hathaway Romanov found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

It was a dark and empty room, with only a very faint light that allowed Hathaway Romanov to barely make out objects.

Before Hathaway Romanov lay a seemingly endless expanse of water.

The stench of decay, death, and darkness emanated from the water.

“Welcome, Hathaway Romanov,” Tiera’s voice came from afar.
Through the darkness, Hathaway Romanoff seemed to see Tyella standing in the middle of the water—

Today, Tiera wore a bright red papal robe, with gold patterns on it shimmering like flames against the red fabric.

A hand emerged from the wide sleeve of Tiera's robe, resting on a tall staff with a human head.

He held a thick book in his other two hands.

"Your ritual of becoming a god will take place here." With that, Tiera paused on the staff with the human head in her hand, and then her fourth and final hand emerged from her sleeve and gently placed on the first page of the book.

Tiera's smile gradually faded, her expression turning devout. She lowered her head slightly and began to chant:
"In the beginning the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

After reading this sentence, Tierra raised her head and looked solemnly at Hathaway Romanov.

Hathaway Romanoff seemed to understand something, lifted her leg, stepped out of the portal, and strode into the dark waters before her.

The moment she took a step forward, Hathaway Romanov felt a lightness throughout her body, filled with power. She lightly touched the water's surface with her toes and floated gently towards the island in the center of the lake.

"God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

Tiera spoke again solemnly.
In an instant, the entire space brightened up.

Hathaway Romanoff didn't know where the light source was, but in that instant, all the shadows vanished, and the entire space was filled with light, except for the black water beneath her feet.

At this moment, Hathaway Romanoff realized that she seemed to be in a strange space, surrounded by chaotic and indescribable barriers.

“God said, ‘Let there be a vault between the waters, so that the water may flow over and over.’”

“God said, ‘Let the waters under the heavens be gathered to one place, and let dry land appear.’” Tiera solemnly recited again.

Suddenly, the entire expanse of black water trembled violently, and from below, a piece of land rose from beneath the surface—

The first thing to appear was an empty stone archway. The archway was made of an unknown stone and looked somewhat dilapidated, as if it had been there for a long time. Suddenly, white, ethereal ripples, like water waves, appeared in the center of the originally empty archway.

Next, what emerges from the water is a gray-black rocky ground, like a small hillside.

Tiera stood before the empty archway, his solemn voice continuing—"God said..."

……

Meanwhile, on the ninth basement level of the Ministry of Magic, in an extremely spacious and empty room...

Between the curtains.

There used to be an empty stone archway here, and apart from that, there were large areas of gray-black rocks.

But now, the stone archway that once stood in the very center of the curtain room is gone, and a section of the rocky floor where the archway stood has been smoothed away. Dumbledore, Slytherin, Maca Falmonda, Wu Peirong, Nicholas Flamel, and Chief Thunderbird stand evenly around the room.

Above the room, a thick fog of indescribable color lingered.

“I knew he wasn’t that kind,” Dumbledore said to Nick Flamel from a corner, then, following Tyrell’s instructions, he opened the Unmarked Extension Box in his hand and threw it upwards into the mist.

……

"God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly on the ground and in the sky.'"

A suitcase flew out of the water, and from it flew a flock of crows—

They were all Tiera's pet raven Raven's underlings, temporarily "borrowed" by Tiera to act as actors.

……

“Although he has ill intentions, Tiera is indeed cunning and treacherous,” Wu Peirong said, while wearing peculiar glasses and staring at Tiera above the room. Following Tiera’s instructions, she threw suitcases that had been enchanted with the Invisible Extension Charm into Tiera’s body, which was hovering above.

“I’ve thought about it over and over, but I never imagined that he would arrange the godhood ritual within his own body,” Chief Thunderbird said.

“This was Tyrell’s original plan for her ascension to godhood,” Slytherin said, laying his briefcase flat on the ground and waving his wand—

A man and a woman, both naked and with blank stares, stood up from the box.

As soon as the wizards stepped out of the box, they both looked up and flew into the body of the hovering Tyella.

……

At this moment, Hathaway Romanov was also standing before the void archway.

Tierra's figure became ethereal, gradually merging with Hathaway Romanov's.

“God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the animals on the ground and over all the animals and over every creeping thing that moves along the ground,’” Hathaway Romanov said, looking up at the empty archway. The voice that came from her mouth was that of Tyella.

As soon as the words were spoken, a naked male and female wizard rose from the black waters.

Hathaway Romanoff turned around, a frivolous, wild, and wicked smile on her face, just like Tyella's, as she looked at the man and woman rising from the water.

“Come, my children,” Hathaway Romanov said eerily, raising her arms and waving at a man and a woman.

A man and a woman walked blankly on the water, then stepped onto land, and came to stand in front of Hathaway Romanov.

Hathaway Romanoff reached into her own chest, squeezed her heart, then pulled it out and placed it in front of the sorcerer and witch.

The witch bit Hathaway Romanoff’s heart, and then the wizard did the same.

Hathaway Romanov suddenly burst into laughter, as if a million different voices were emanating from her mouth—

"Tempted by the devil, they ate the forbidden fruit."

"From then on, there was war, plague, famine, and...death in the world!"
