Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Mikel awoke in excruciating pain.

His head felt like it was going to explode, and a wave of pain surged through his entire body.

An indescribable growing pain filled his entire body; he felt as if his body had been shattered, reassembled, shattered again, and reassembled again countless times…

Mikel could sense that his current body was very powerful, but it would take a long time before he could control it perfectly.

Amidst this numb pain, he also felt a tearing sensation in his soul, as if something was trying to break free.

"This feeling, this power..."

Mikel was in a daze for a long time before he was able to focus his consciousness on the place where his soul was being torn apart.

He saw something enveloped in strange energy; it was a chip.

"chip?"

His heart skipped a beat, and at that moment, memories of his past life surged forth like a tidal wave.

Mikel finally remembered how he came into this world.

At the time, a gaming chip was being released, and he bought it. On the way, he was involved in a car accident, and his blood splattered on the chip.

The car accident took his life, and when he woke up again, he had been reincarnated as a newborn in the Harry Potter world.

At the same time, the chip also became integrated into his soul, combining all the data in his body into information that he could understand.

Mikel finally understood the true nature of his system: it was an auxiliary tool for collecting, summarizing, and organizing information.

The magic that the system taught him was actually formed from his own magical talent.

Because his talent was enough to create these spells, he was able to learn them so quickly!
So in fact, he was very talented, but he never knew it and was always blinded by the existence of the system, thinking that it was a cheat code given to him by God.

He also understood why, when the system was on him, he sometimes felt a blockage, lost consciousness, and had to let the system take over.

That's because the system, or chip, is an alien entity and is inherently rejected by the wizarding world.

The power of the Wizarding World was constantly resisting his interference. The fragmentation was only something the system had to do to protect him, but he misunderstood it and even believed the devil's slander!

Mikel was extremely annoyed and regretful.

He was possessed by a demon, and this demon must be a wizard from the magical world!

All that talk of awareness and help is a complete lie!
The wizard noticed something was wrong with him, so he pretended to be pitiful and made a deal with him.

Now, the devil is controlling his body, trying to tear the system out of his soul!

Mikel felt an immense pain in his body and soul.

Being stripped of the system was an unbearable pain for him!

He still doesn't know what the system's true purpose is for him.

All he knew was that once he was separated from the wizarding world, he would likely be trapped there forever.

Yes, Mikel realized that if he could travel from other planets to the Wizarding World, then the Wizarding World must also be able to travel to other planets.

But once he leaves the system, he will definitely not be able to find the coordinates of the original world.

"No, I regret it! You lied to me!! You clearly said this magic rune array was to charge you, but it was used to strip the system from my body!"

Mikel roared these words in a fit of immense anger.

But he received no response, and it was all too late.

Babling had reminded Mikel, even when he was weak and tired.

While he was conscious, she repeatedly told him not to trust external energy, even though at the time this statement seemed to be directed at his internal system rather than at her.

However, she said many things that needed to be said, but they were misinterpreted and misunderstood as having another meaning, but that doesn't mean she didn't say them.

Forcibly removing something that is naturally present in a person's body is extremely difficult, requiring many conditions to be met, and often the person loses their life if it is removed.

If Mikel hadn't cooperated so much in the early stages, his soul might have succumbed to the pain and died once the system left his body.

However, Mikel's cooperation in the early stages actually made the peeling of Babulin go more smoothly, so the pain was still within a tolerable range.

When Mikel abandoned the system, the system also abandoned him.

Even if Mikel doesn't admit it, when he chooses to believe the seductive consciousness in his mind, he is already gradually abandoning the system.

And now, the most crucial step has arrived.

The magic rune array has been activated, and the consciousness of the Forbidden Forest has fully awakened at Babling's call, and will descend using Mikel's body as its vessel.

The consciousness of the Forbidden Forest will work in conjunction with the ritual performed by Babling to completely strip the systems from Mikel's body!

The most crucial step, and also the most dangerous, is to draw upon the consciousness of the Forbidden Forest and harness its power for one's own use.

If things go wrong, Mikel's soul will also be destroyed, and even Babling may be seriously injured.

That's why she chose to cooperate with the Forbidden Forest's consciousness.

After all, she had spent too much time with the Forbidden Forest and had developed a tacit understanding with this power.

If the power of other places is borrowed, the danger will be even greater. If they encounter non-cooperation, even the powerful Babulin will have a headache.

If she is truly incredibly powerful, she wouldn't need to rely on anyone else's strength; she could complete the separation ritual herself.

Mikel kept roaring and shouting.

The physical pain made him feel suffocated, while the tearing sensation in his soul made him feel as if his body was being ripped in two.

The immense pain nearly stopped his heart from beating!
It hurts so much!

His consciousness kept slipping into unconsciousness, only to be pulled back to full consciousness by immense pain.

He saw the consciousness controlling his body open a storage space, take out a bottle of black potion, and then pour it into his body.

Whether it was because of this potion or not, Mikel's aching soul seemed to be soothed, and he gradually stopped feeling the pain, finally able to rest.

After enduring immense pain and expending tremendous energy, Mikel no longer had the strength to maintain consciousness and closed his eyes as well.

This period of slumber will end when he awakens again, and he will begin a new life.

Babling no longer heard Mikel's shouting.

Some of her elusive consciousness gathered again, transforming into the consciousness of the Forbidden Forest, and came to the body she was attached to.

The Forbidden Forest lacks a complete consciousness, possessing only a generalized consciousness, representing a certain will of the forest.

Babling said, "I will not use your power to do evil, nor will I use your power in the outside world. I just want to borrow your power to peel away the coordinates of another world hidden deep in the soul of a wizard."

“If the stripping is successful and I obtain the coordinates, I will bring you a reward that will satisfy you in the other world.” Babuling felt as if a giant eye was appearing in the air.

The consciousness of the Forbidden Forest focused on one eye, silently observing Babling.

Barbling felt a rare moment of tension. Such a powerful consciousness, such a pressure-inducing gaze—if Forbidden Forest disagreed, it might even want to attack her…

She wasn't sure she could leave unharmed.

Although the magic rune array is powerful, it must be set up in advance to unleash its full potential.

In terms of instant energy feedback, the magic rune array is absolutely no match for the energy consciousness between heaven and earth.

The enormous consciousness observed Babuling for quite a while before gradually dissipating.

Then she felt a tremendous energy gathering towards her body.

Originally, Babling intended to divide this enormous consciousness into several parts and also prepared three stand-in dolls. This would make things easier for her and prevent the excessively large power from getting out of control.

However, the reaction of the Forbidden Forest consciousness just now made Babling not mention the separation again, but silently manipulated these energies to gather into Mikel's body.

She thought to herself: This is also a good deal for Mikel.

Being possessed by such immense energy will create an extraordinary connection with the Forbidden Forest.

Although he is not the guardian of the Forbidden Forest, his abilities are no different from those of the guardian.

As long as he doesn't maliciously provoke magical creatures and plants in the Forbidden Forest, those creatures and plants will let him go, considering that he once served as a carrier of the Forbidden Forest's consciousness.

At the same time, such a massive infusion of power can expand his physical potential and magical talent.

This is a good thing that no matter how much a high-level wizard prays for, he can't get!
Babling believes that the kid actually made a profit.

After all, even Dumbledore hadn't obtained that key that led to a higher realm, a key that could be considered divine; breaking through it would be far too difficult.

It's better to stay in the wizarding world and give up once you reach the highest level.

If he didn't stay in the world, he could live a very comfortable life.

To reach higher realms, acquiring energy from other worlds is essential.

Over the years, she has been traveling through time and space through various means in order to obtain energy from other worlds so that she can ascend to the realm of gods.

Unfortunately, the energy barriers in other worlds vary greatly, some are very high and some are very low.

Energy that is too easily obtained through breakthroughs is of no use to her, while energy that is too difficult to obtain through breakthroughs is also difficult to acquire.

Hopefully, the energy from this other world will be of some help to her.

As awareness of the ban on forestry continues to grow, the level of restrictions on the outside world is gradually decreasing.

Some minor nobles took the opportunity to break into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. They did not understand what had happened in the Forbidden Forest, but only hoped to get a share of the spoils from this great change.

Hogwarts closes its doors on this day, and all professors and students are not allowed to walk in the corridors; everyone must stay in their dormitories.

The deans of the four academies arrived at the main hall to assess whether the full power of the Sage's Eye should be activated.

This opening was a huge drain on resources, but they still held onto hope that perhaps the awakening of the Forbidden Forest's consciousness wouldn't come to this.

Snape looked out the window at the sky and suddenly said, "The weather has changed."

The sky was clear and blue before, but now it's covered with thunderclouds.

Deep within the forbidden forest, bolts of lightning had already formed, and the sky was filled with thunder and lightning.

The sound of thunder reached Hogwarts, rumbling loudly like divine punishment.

Snape said with a solemn expression, "This awakening is not a natural awakening, but rather an artificial one, otherwise the resulting phenomena would not be so severe."

The awareness of the ban on forests has awakened naturally, just as some kind of law has been naturally driven.

Awakening is a very slow process, accumulating little by little until complete awakening.

Therefore, before a complete awakening, because of the extensive groundwork laid, the awakening process is not as grand or dangerous.

In all his years as professor, Snape had encountered the Awakening of the Forbidden Forest twice, but neither had given him the chilling feeling of this one.

Professor McGonagall said calmly, "If someone needs to use the power of the Forbidden Forest to accomplish something, the power of the Forbidden Forest is the best choice."

Professor Flitwick looked out the window at the sky and said with a serious expression, "I think it would be best if we gathered all the students together tonight. I'm a little worried that without our supervision, those students might be manipulated by other thoughts and do something inappropriate."

Professor Sprout agreed, asking, "Is it too late now?"

Snape: "Don't be fooled by how dark it is outside; it's only one in the afternoon."

It should be the time when the sun is at its brightest, but now the sky is already quite dark, and as time goes by, it will get even darker.

If we really want to bring the students together, we need to speed things up quickly.

All three professors looked to Professor McGonagall for the final decision.

McGonagall said, "Let's call all the students to the quiet room next to the Great Hall. Not many students will stay on campus during the summer, so there's no need to use the Great Hall."

“Also,” she paused, “I’m a little worried that something might happen to the space node.”

"Although we have sealed many nodes, we still need to have the professor guard those key spatial nodes. If anything unexpected happens, we can provide timely assistance."

The four deans all sprang into action, spreading the message.

On the other side, Lin Xia, in the forbidden book zone, also felt the forbidden forest consciousness slowly awakening.

Judging from the progress, the awareness of the forest ban will be fully awakened in 11 hours.

At that time, the power gathered in the Forbidden Forest was at its strongest, causing the biomagnetic field to become disordered and produce violent fluctuations.

The spatial passage she has created is not even strong enough to withstand the chaotic fluctuations for a minute.

Lin Xia turned to look at the glittering stars in the sky. She still hadn't finished learning some of the spatial magic, so she needed to speed things up as soon as possible.

Each reading gave her new inspiration, allowing her to modify or add new magic runes to make the spatial passage more and more perfect.

Time passes minute by minute.

Mikel's soul fell into a state of death, and he would not awaken no matter what happened.

When the clock struck midnight, it was 12 o'clock at night.

A powerful surge of energy emanated from Mikel's body. He opened his eyes; one eye was pure black, while the other glowed with a deep green.

The awareness of the ban on forests has been fully awakened!
"What do you want to do?"

His lips twitched, and the sound he made wasn't a human voice, but more like the eerie echoes of a forest, composed of notes from the woods. (End of Chapter)
