Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 552

“I’ve already explained the principle to you,” Tiera said with a smile. “The rest of the journey is up to you.”

“Leader, leader, you, you mean… you mean…” another elderly wizard asked incredulously.

"I have shown you the way to godhood, and I have paved the way for you. My comrades, as for how many of you will truly become four-dimensional divine beings, that depends on your own efforts," Tiera said with a light laugh.

"But...but...leader, we don't need this knowledge...following you, listening to your teachings, and becoming the cornerstone of your great plan is what we value most..."

“Oh, come on, Electrox.” Tiera smiled and rolled her eyes. “Stop your pretentious act and your self-importance.”

“The last thing I need is loyalty,” Tiera said. “There is no master-servant relationship between you and me, although during the years I was in power, others described you as my followers, my brainwashed wizards, my puppets and slaves.”

“No, no, and it’s unnecessary,” Tiera said firmly. “I appreciate your loyalty, but I don’t need it. What I need is your trust. I want you to follow me not just because of my invincible strength, but because of my invincible mind. I want us to come together because of a common ideal.”

“This is my gift to you, my old friends, my old comrades, my old buddies, and also my apology,” Tiera said, then bowed slightly, politely greeting everyone. “Nearly fifty years of imprisonment and the stagnation in silence have made me realize the error in my past theories, which led you in the same wrong direction.”

"In more than fifty years of sitting in meditation, I broke through the barrier to godhood and gained an eternal and vibrant life. The more than fifty years of imprisonment were nothing more than five minutes, or even five seconds, of contemplation to me."

"But what about you? My old friends, look at you, look at Wenda..."

Tiera took the hand of Venda Rosie, who was standing beside him, and then bent down to politely kiss the back of her hand.

“Oh… my lovely Venda,” Tiera straightened up and said regretfully, “She was once so beautiful, so elegant. She was our Venus, our Muse, our Artemis, our goddess of war, but look at her now…”

Tiye stretched out his other hand, reached towards her head, and then gently lifted her up—

The thorn crown that had been hovering above Venda Rosie's head was lifted up lightly by Tiera.

The radiance around Wenda Rosie faded instantly, as if she had fallen from a high and mighty goddess to a mortal.

Wrinkles instantly appeared on her once smooth, delicate face, which was as flawless as a freshly peeled egg.

His straight shoulders and back became somewhat hunched, a far cry from his earlier imposing manner.

“Of them, young Venda was the most deeply corrupted,” Tierra said regretfully. “Therefore I granted her my authority.”

With that, Tiera placed the crown of thorns back on Vendarossie's head.

Wenda Rosie's radiance returned.

“Look at you all. My misguided path has wasted your youth and your time.” Tiera looked at the aging wizards below the stage, her eyes showing just the right amount of regret and pity. “Therefore, I will show you a path to the fourth dimension of divinity.”

"Let us march toward higher dimensions, my comrades," Tiera said with a smile, "for I have perfected the correct theory, for I have found the right path, for I am about to unleash another wave of change."

“And in this wave, I hope you are prepared, I hope… that you have enough strength and power to participate in this great transformation,” Tierra said with a smile, “instead of being left behind by the tide of the times.”

Of course, while Tierra spoke in such a grand manner, she was actually only testing one possibility—

When Tiera first ventured into the Dreamland to find the Moon Beast Clan, and presented the High Priest with the Sky Gold, Flowing Silver, and Pillar Copper, the Moon Beast Clan's High Priest said—

"Lord Nyarlathotep believed that allowing life to ascend from lower to higher dimensions would help disrupt the balance of the universe, causing all dimensions of the entire universe to move towards a more chaotic and destructive end."

At first glance, Tiera didn't think much of what Tiera was saying; it was just the Moon Beast High Priest conveying to everyone Nyarlathotep's insane and blatant ambition.

But after meeting Gellert Grindelwald and learning the truth about this world, when Tiera revisited those words, she suddenly sensed a different meaning—

Perhaps my detachment from this universe and "breaking out of my shell" is also related to this?

For example, only when the number of four-dimensional divine beings within the universe reaches a certain level, and the universe slides towards the end of chaos and destruction, and becomes fragile to a certain degree, can Tiera successfully "break out of its shell".

Otherwise, even if Tiera fully integrated the six pillars, it might still fail to materialize if the universe wasn't fragile enough.

After all, Tiera had seen plenty of chicks and ducklings in his past life that hatched successfully but couldn't peck their way out of their eggs, and he didn't want to end up like that himself.

As for the problem of managing too many wizards after they become gods—

Tiera wasn't worried about this at all.

Not to mention that Tyella now possesses the three supreme powers of "life," "space," and "creation," which she gained as a stepping stone to godhood.

It is Tiera's own "chaotic" divinity that makes it unique in the entire universe.

Moreover--

Once they become gods, he will have already gathered the six powers that can become the pillars of a single universe. Even if Tiera is afraid to merge the powers of "death" and "annihilation" due to some concerns, Tiera, who holds the pillars of a single universe, can still crush other gods with these powers.
