Chapter 374: The Flame Pillar Appears

(Seamus reminded, "Have you forgotten how Lucius Malfoy in this world died? He sacrificed his life along with those giant eight-eyed spiders.")
(Ron suddenly realized, "So there are no Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest of this world?")
("That's really" he looked at the head table and saw that Hagrid was not there, "brilliant!")
"Hagrid isn't here." Harry reminded Ron when he saw him heading towards the cabin, "Follow me."

Seeing Ron obeying Harry's judgment without question and following him, Neville was a little confused, "How did Harry find out that Hagrid was not there. Is there something missing in front of the door?"

"In this world, Harry is the closest person to the World Tree, so if he wants, he can even appear directly in front of Hagrid." Ron showed an unfathomable expression, as if he was the only one who could do this.

(Harry thought this was a little far-fetched. Before he became a warrior, he had the Love Spell, but it could only be used as a special attack against dark wizards, a shield that only appeared in front of them. He himself did not receive any additional blessings, and his grades were above average.)
(As far as he knows, Harry in this world showed a Jesus-like demeanor in his second grade, and his mother revived in the form of an angel. It is estimated that all the fragments of Voldemort's soul were evaporated by him.)
(Now, he is in sync with the [World Tree] and can find a person's trace for no reason and appear in front of him.)
(This is the savior in the prophecy, he himself is a fake.)
Neville was equally shocked.

But when he entered the woods, something even more shocking came to him.

"Such a rich life force!"

Wherever you look, there is a faint force of life permeating between the treetops and bushes.

The magical creatures we see, such as the Orb-Evoker, the Divining Bird, the Bowtruckle, etc., are mostly of different colors, and look like summoned beasts that are positively mutated by the influence of the [Force Furnace].

(Simo said enviously, "These magical creatures are of such high quality, if I could")
(Dean speculated, "Is this all due to the influence of the World Tree?")
In comparison, Harry's behavior of turning left and right instead of taking the animal path as if he was lost was not so surprising.

Harry stopped abruptly after passing a golden adult unicorn.

'Centaurs?'

Although he had never seen it before, Neville instantly recognized the creature in front of him.

Ron, Harry, and even Neville opened their mouths subconsciously.

It’s not because the lower body is a horse and the upper body is a human.

But it was because the person who appeared in front of them was a female centaur.

Centaurs have never had the human habit of wearing clothes. If it weren't for the waist-length white hair hanging down in front of his chest, Neville doubted whether he could remain calm and not have a nosebleed.

That beautiful face that revealed a maternal glow, the uncovered muscular but still soft white belly, and the huge thing behind the hair that trembled as the centaur moved forward.

(Hermione looked at the dazed boys around her and said disdainfully, "Isn't this just like wearing a bikini, or a more conservative one with more fabric. It's so exaggerated. Tsk tsk")
(Hagrid was a little surprised. Female centaurs always hid in the heart of the centaur camp with their children and never left. Even he had never seen them. How could they leave the camp in this world?)
"Who are you?" Harry's voice was a little hoarse.

For him who lacked maternal love, the centaur in front of him simply used full special attack on him.

"Delia," the centaur said softly, "a priest. But... how did a pony like you end up in the woods? I remember there were no students in Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology today."

"We're here to see Hagrid!" Ron, with red ears, chose to tell the whole story, "This is it, Harry"

("Hmph, what a waste~" Ginny sneered but did not forget to ask a question, "What is the Centaur's sacrifice?")
(This answer has not been known since the centaurs degraded themselves to beasts.)
(Even before, wizards were rarely willing to get to know humanoids who posed no threat to them.)
(But the dead who are history itself know this all too well.)
(Hesper Starkey, who first studied the use of the moon phases in potion-making, said: "I once used my gender family advantage to travel to the deepest part of the centaur camp to study the phases of the moon. Contrary to popular belief, the centaurs are actually a matriarchal society.")
("Centaurs are not known to use wands, but are highly skilled in magical healing, divination, archery, and astronomy.")
(“But in reality, centaurs can use magic for more than just healing. They can actually wield magic, just like goblins.”)
(“The reason why females never leave the camp is not because they are weak, but because they need to keep their minds peaceful and not be disturbed by worldly affairs.”)
(“They have a more outstanding third eye than males, which can be truly applied to all aspects of life and make predictions that eliminate all risks for the tribe.”)
("Thus, the physically stronger males go out hunting with bows and arrows, while the truly magical females take care of the young and lead the pack with their sharper third eyes.")
("The priest is the leader among the females, the best one, who needs to maintain the purity of the body and the purity of the heart, and the sharpest celestial eyes in the tribe.")
(After watching Hesper Stucky’s introduction, other viewers were even more confused.)
(That is why this important priest was away from the centaur camp, so close to the edge of the forbidden forest.)
(Only Baqir knows why.)
(The centaurs, a magical race with extraordinary inspiration and in tune with nature, were the first to offer themselves to the World Tree.)
(Female centaurs placed their hearts on the World Tree, gaining light energy and more powerful magic, while also liberating themselves. They no longer needed to meditate all day long, predicting the weather and possible dangers around the camp for the tribe, and knowing which centaurs to send out at which place and at which moment would yield good results.)
(And Delia even directly came into contact with the traces of Bajir deep in the [World Tree].)
(As a projection of his will, his property, and a witch who practices his path.)
(Right now, she is harnessing the natural power of the entire Forbidden Forest to soothe the ley lines, so as to prevent the upcoming [Pillar of Fire] from affecting the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts.)
Therefore, when facing other magical creatures, Delia seemed unaware of Harry, whom all humans were subconsciously afraid of.

From her perspective, Harry was just a brighter star, still a foal.

Just like humans are not afraid of an angry kitten.

Instead, Harry, the big head took control of the small head again.

I was overwhelmed by the majesty that seemed like the [World Tree] in front of me.

He also discovered that even if Delia was not wearing any clothes, there should be gaps in the key places where her hair should be covered, and the treasures hidden underneath could not be seen from any angle. It was as if they were covered up at the conceptual level.

(This is natural. As a witch of Bajir, her body can only be fully observed and touched by herself and her spirit.)
"That means you've discovered the changes in the Forbidden Forest and want to find Hagrid to learn about it." After hearing what Ron said, Delia understood everything. She looked at Harry in amazement, "I didn't expect that you wizards could actually detect the appearance of the Pillar of Fire."

If it were the old Ron, he would definitely complain, "What do you mean by wizards?" "This little world was built by Dumbledore!"

But now, he just nodded repeatedly.

If Delia said he and Draco Malfoy were a couple, he would subconsciously admit it.

Neville Harry was a little better.

Neville did this because he remembered that he was still broadcasting live and Hannah might be watching him, so he couldn't make a fool of himself.

Harry associated the Pillar of Fire with the towering water column in the waters of Hogsmeade.

Wizards have also explored that place, but just like the World Tree, it is impossible to get close to it. It is right in front of you, but the distance to it seems endless.

Approaching from below sea level is like approaching the edge of a small world. It seems that you are about to reach the next step, but you appear in another unrelated place: somewhere in Hogsmeade.

(This was deliberately designed by Bagir. After all, he is not as naive as the long-eared people. The pillars of the world will naturally not be directly exposed in reality. They are all integrated with the small world. Their entities in reality are all manifestations of concepts, between existence and non-existence.)
Could it be that this water column and the [Pillar of Fire] that Delia mentioned are the same as the [World Tree]?

So, Harry asked, "What is the [Pillar of Fire] you are talking about?" "The end of the Forbidden Forest is constantly expanding." Delia said, "The [Holy Volcano] will appear in that dry land. As a priest, I need to suppress the hot breath before the [Pillar of Light] appears."

"Pillar of Light?" Neville asked.

"The Pillar of Light is the Pillar of Flame. The pillar of flame that rises to the sky will turn into light." Delia said with a smile, "It's just that the messenger of the holy light has not yet arrived."

On the other side, on the barren land, Hagrid, wearing only a single piece of clothing, was walking forward with heavy steps.

"It's really strange. As soon as we walked out of the woods, the temperature suddenly rose."

He took off his clothes, wrung them tightly and squeezed out the drops of sweat. The sweat fell on the hot ground and instantly turned into white smoke.

“The temperature is getting higher and higher.”

He looked forward and the ground seemed to be rising and the rock layers were beginning to be exposed.

Salamanders, fire snakes and other magical creatures that need fire to survive crawl and swim on the bare rock formations, their bodies still showing the bright colors of the flames.

"Oh, the Galloping Gorgon! What is going on here?"

This was totally out of his understanding of these magical creatures.

Although he had seen many strange and magical creatures in the woods these days, their habits had not changed much. At most, some of their original abilities had changed or been enhanced.

But now it is a complete change, just like the trolls have learned arithmetic and the unicorns are willing to get close to men to an outrageous degree.

Just as Hagrid was puzzled and hesitating whether to take off his shoes to let his feet get some fresh air, the ground began to tremble.

The ground began to tilt, and Hagrid, who had taken off one shoe and stood on one foot, rolled backwards - in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

After crashing into a huge ancient tree, Hagrid's first reaction was not to scream "my back" in pain, but
"Phew~ It's so cool, I'm alive again!"

As a hybrid giant, he has thick skin and flesh, and due to the radiation from the [World Tree], he began to undergo positive mutations like those humanoids.

Now it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire.

Therefore, as he rolled into a ball and got closer to the forbidden forest, his attention was more focused on the rapidly decreasing temperature.

Then, the high mountains that appeared in his sight, as well as the pillars of fire rising into the sky, the overflowing magma, and the escaping gray smoke left him speechless for a moment.

"This is the Pillar of Fire." Delia still had a gentle smile on her face. The shade of the trees that had blocked the sun all day automatically parted, revealing the blue sky and a red pillar of fire connecting the sky and the earth.

(This scene was not very exciting for the audience who watched the live broadcast of StarWorld.)
(The explosions that stretched for hundreds of miles caused by Fleur's blasting spell, and Cedric's feat of turning the entire planet into lava, raised their threshold.)
(The same is true for the dead who still practice ancient magic. For them, using magic to change the color of heaven and earth is normal.)
But for Harry and others who actually saw it, it was not a simple accumulation of sounds, lights, shapes and colors.

The moment they saw the pillar of fire that seemed like the embodiment of nature and emanated a sacred and noble spirit, they were stunned to the point where they were, their minds subdued.

And Harry once again fell into the synaesthesia state he was in when the World Tree first appeared.

"The world. Is expanding."

The halo representing wisdom, the wings that embody the driving force of life and soul, the eyes that radiate majestic light, and the hair that turns into the color of snow all materialize one by one.

A magic circle of light emerged at his heart and split. Magic circles of earth, wind, and water formed a triangle formation throughout his body.

The movement of the earth, the melody of the wind, and the song of the ocean currents all entered Harry's heart.
"What is this Force?" Neville was surprised. "The flavors of the Force of earth, wind, water, fire, life, and the sun are mixed but distinct."

(This time the audience was stunned.)
(Although they knew that Harry in this world was not simple and had heard of his form, this was the first time they saw it with their own eyes.)
(And this person is Harry Potter, the number one alien among the warriors!)

(Even Harry's eyes widened.)
It took a long time for Harry to recover and land on the ground.

Delia was surprised and said, "So you are also a messenger of the Holy Light."

Harry was about to deny it and say something like 'It's the magic of light, the power of nature manifesting its positive side', but the next second he thought of the centaurs' attitude towards nature.

According to the culture of the centaurs, he might really be considered a divine messenger.

Neville asked, "The [Pillar of Fire] has appeared. If Harry is the messenger of the Holy Light, how can it be turned into a [Pillar of Light]?"

Unlike Hagrid, who was at the junction of the Forbidden Forest and the Barren Land and was sure that the magma and high temperature would not affect the Forbidden Forest, Neville was very worried that the vaporized and liquefied rocks in the column of fire that shot up into the sky and the sparks that splashed onto the ground would ignite the Forbidden Forest and cause a fire.

Therefore, he eagerly hoped that Harry could transform fire into light as the centaurs had just predicted.
