Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard

“Well?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know what to think,” Loki replied. All this information was too much for him to process.

“Tell me your first instinct — your first thought.”

“That...I caused everything. If not for my selfish actions, maybe Mother could have been saved. Father would not have died so early before Thor was prepared for the throne. I’m the reason Thor finally stopped trying to reach out — why Asgard was destroyed.”

“You’re giving yourself too much credit. Most of the tragedies that occurred resulted from your father’s actions and destiny. However, you are responsible for how terrible your relationship with your family turned out and countless other atrocities,” Edward calmly stated.

Loki was quiet for a few seconds, “So, what should I do?”

“See a therapist.”

“Excuse me?”

“I didn’t stutter. Whatever deep psychological issues you have cannot be dealt with in a single day. So, you need a therapist.”

“You’re serious? You expect a God like me to see a therapist?”

“Why not? I’ve done it, and there is nothing embarrassing about it,” Edward replied. “If you’re worried about a “mortal” being your doctor, I know an artificial intelligence specially programmed to deal with mental health issues. I’ll let you use it.”

“Absolutely not. I will do no such thing.”

Edward shrugged. “I wanted to give you the illusion that you had a choice. I guess that’s no longer happening.”

“You!”

“Follow me for the next training step,” Edward ordered as he opened a portal to the mirror dimension. Loki was shocked at what he saw inside the mirror dimension — a colossal tower that rose to the cloud. The thing was so magnificent that he thought he was momentarily at the palace. However, this was not the main reason for his shock.

“What’s this?”

“My magic tower. It’s my laboratory. Unfortunately, it’s not up to standard.”

“Are you serious?” Loki could feel the crazy amount of energy pumping through this tower. He had only seen this level of energy once in his life, and it was when his father was working on the Odinforce and showed it to him and Thor.

Edward was not trying to brag. He created the tower to replace his floating city. However, although he had a spare of all his machines in his personal interdimensional ring, the tower could not replicate the energy availability of Netheril without access to the Mana Grid. He tried different methods by searching many dimensions to siphon energy from, but they all paled compared to the infinite energy from the Mana Grid.

Edward led Loki to an empty room full of magic circles. “What are we doing here?”

“I’m going to show you what true power is and that it does not need to be destructive,” Edward explained. “Morgana, let’s begin.” The enchantments activated to form a cube at the center of the room.

“What do you think this is?”

“A cub? A tesseract?”

“Nope, but if you add a few more universes, we will be in trouble.”

“We can wait until the Speed Force is created.”

Edward finally focused on Loki and took him out. “What do you think?”

“What can I think?”

“You sound defeated.”

Loki did not answer. He thought he could come here to steal the sorcerer's source of power, but now he realized how much of a joke his plan was. All his schemes are laughable before such tremendous power.

“How would you feel if I said you have the potential to achieve such a level of strength?”

“I would tell you I’m not as gullible as my brother.”

“Then, see for yourself.”

Edward pointed at Loki’s head before sending his spirit on a voyage through the Multiverse to experience the powers of many of his most powerful variants. He even saw a variant of himself that used illusion magic to create an entire universe to fool one of his opponents.

“Are those really me?”

“Yes, with different life experiences and choices, but in essence — they are all you.”

All his life, he thought and felt inferior to Thor, but now, he realizes his hidden potential.

“Please teach me,” Loki said.

“No.”

“What?”

“I’m just kidding,” Edward chuckled. “I will teach you, but you’re not ready yet.”

“What do you mean I’m not ready?”

“You crave power but have no respect for it, and that’s a dangerous combination.”

“So, you want me to learn how to respect power?”

“That’s correct.”

“And how exactly will you do?”

“By making you really work for it. Come, follow me.”
