Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 851 Castles in the Air
Tiera neither disappeared nor was it rejected; instead, it began to diffuse towards the deepest part of the universe.

Tierra tried frantically to stop it, but to no avail—

Only then did Tyella finally see the truth of this universe.

This universe, this so-called "Harry Potter universe," if described in one word, is like a luxurious city built in the sky.

A luxurious city suspended in mid-air has no foundation! Elementary particles do not exist in this universe!
So when the Tyella particle escaped the state of absolute nothingness, it immediately filled the logical loophole in this universe, and the Tyella became the fundamental particle of this universe!

Tierra became this universe!
"No, no, no, impossible."

Tierra couldn't understand it; he couldn't comprehend it.

How can there be a universe without elementary particles?

A universe without elementary particles is like a building without a foundation, or a human being without cells.

The universe should be a blank sheet of paper, a blank canvas, or a void where nothing exists.

It should have been a completely heterogeneous realm, an existence beyond any intuition or common sense, a realm unbound by any known physical laws.

But no—

This is a real world where planets and life on them are pulled together by the gravitational pull of everything; light refraction and reflection follow Snell's law and the law of reflection; electrons orbit outside the atomic nucleus, adhering to the principles of quantum mechanics; chemical reactions proceed continuously according to chemical equilibrium and rate laws; organisms encode the blueprint of life through DNA replication, transcription, and translation, and cell division follows the rules of mitosis and meiosis.

All of these things constitute the material world, the material dimension upon which all organic life depends for survival.

Social structures have maintained orderly development in this world. Human civilization has relied on the first and second laws of thermodynamics to drive the Industrial Revolution within the framework of energy conservation and entropy increase. Social communication and economic transactions conform to the basic principles of supply and demand and the natural laws of the market economy. Medical progress is closely related to the organism's profound understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Technological breakthroughs depend on the precise mastery of semiconductor physics and the algorithm optimization of computer science.

This has sustained modern human society.

None of this would exist without elementary particles.

But if this world is fake and there are no elementary particles, then what does it mean that Tiera has lived in this universe where there are no elementary particles for so many years?
What about the food he ate and the water he drank? What about every breath he took? What about the magic he learned and the witchcraft he used? What about the ritual that led him to godhood? What about Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Dumbledore, who shared his joys and sorrows all these years? All these years...
What is Tierra?
Is Tatyara really real?
Could he be a fake too?
No, no, no!
Tiera forcefully banished the thought; he was real, he must be real.

We must not have such thoughts or ideas now.

He must be real.

Tierra relinquished her control, allowing herself to fall to the very bottom of the universe, letting the Tierra particles fill the logical gaps in this universe.

This universe is real.

With the Tyella particle taking over the original positions of the fundamental particles in this universe, the Tyella also fully understood the nature of this universe.

This universe is real, everything he experienced is real, he himself is real, the magic he learned is real, his ascension ceremony is real, and Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald are all real.

But even in such a real universe, fundamental particles do not exist.

Just as all the fundamental particles were emptied after the universe was built, or perhaps there is something that doesn't need fundamental particles and directly built a universe.

Of all the Outer Gods, only one can achieve this—

“Nyarlathotep,” Tiera murmured helplessly and wearily.

This was the first time he had addressed the Three Pillar Gods by their names so directly.

Tiera no longer cared; at this stage, such taboos were irrelevant.

It didn't matter to Nyarlathotep whether he heard himself reciting his name or not.

The only one capable of creating such an illogical universe could be Nyarlathotep. It's laughable how I once smugly basked in the glory of anchoring my "successor" to a magic called a "loophole."

Tierra lamented his past arrogance and narrow-mindedness, realizing now how narrow-minded he had been. Only now did Tierra truly understand what a real "loophole" was.

No wonder. No wonder we cannot look directly at the true faces of the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods; their existence is a challenge to all of humanity's existing logic.

But Tierra didn't understand; he couldn't comprehend it—

What was the purpose of Nyarlathotepfe's immense strength?
Is it really just for fun? For entertainment? To see yourself unable to go home, to see all your efforts come to naught?

Then he seemed to be watching this helpless tragedy like a spectator.

Tiera couldn't understand why Nyarlathotep went to such lengths to create this world. Was it just for amusement, or did he have a deeper purpose and plan?

Even though Tiera has now become a true Great Old One, even though he has become a single universe, he still cannot get a definite answer to this question.

Tiera's attempt to comprehend infinite existence with finite wisdom is as laughable as an ant trying to understand human thought.

The Tyella particle wanted to continue extending.

Tiera had occupied the positions of all the fundamental particles at this point in time; he felt omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.

He is in every "Tiera", in every former anchor point, in every animal, in every plant, in every drop of water, every grain of dust, every compound, every molecule, every atom, and even in every process.

Having occupied the "present," the Tiera particle begins to look back towards the "past."

Tiera realized that this universe was an empty universe, and that no fundamental particles existed from the very beginning of its existence.

Now, countless memories of the past flashed through his mind; he could feel the formation of stars, the cooling of planets, and the birth of life. Every corner of the universe, whether distant galaxies or the planet beneath his feet, was filled with his presence.

Before the beginning of the universe, Tiera came into contact with the chaos that existed before the Big Bang.

After filling up the "past" and "present", the Tyella particle began to extend into the "future" until it touched another chaotic area.

A chaotic mass formed by the superposition of probability clouds and possibility domains, a combination of all future possibilities.

If we compare the universe to a line, then Tierra is that line, running between two realms of chaos—

One end is the chaos before the Big Bang, and the other end is the chaos of the future.

At that moment, Tiera seemed to have a sudden realization.

He looked simultaneously at the chaos of the past and the chaos of the future, and then looked up at some inexplicable height.

In an instant, countless thoughts, ideas, and theories flashed through Tierra's mind, and finally—

Tiera smiled.

He severed the subconscious ocean that originally connected all the "Tiera".

Countless Tiera "awakened".

"Om-"

The universe called Tiera vibrated like a string.
