#83 - Longing is the feeling farthest from understanding
In reality, the matter wasn't complex.
In the wake of the Cold War's end, with the Red Giant fallen, the influence of the United States as the world's sole superpower was rippling through the lives of everyone.
Not just Muggles, but wizards too, were deeply affected.
The Soviet Union's strength was undeniable, and yet, this powerful nation had dissolved so quietly.
Even wizards, who were usually very proud, couldn't help but feel a profound sense of shock.
Could it be that one day, the wizarding world would also disintegrate?
Dragged from the hidden depths of the world to the surface, divided, and ultimately absorbed into Muggle society?
That invisible unease echoed in the skies above the wizarding community.
But just as this anxiety began to spread, people suddenly realized—wait a minute!
Do we even need to panic?
"Don't we have Seers and Saviors?"
Wizards and Muggles alike grew up listening to myths, epics, and heroic tales.
From ancient prophets leading people to prosperity with divine blessings, to great heroes saving the masses from fire and water, like Yu the Great controlling the floods.
To more recent legends rescuing nations from the brink of destruction, turning the tide when all seemed lost.
People firmly believed that if a truly great crisis were to emerge, a formidable figure would descend, just like Dumbledore in the past, leading everyone from one victory to another!
And now...
Thus, amidst this widespread anxiety, Roger and Harry, already the focus of many wizards, naturally became the spiritual anchors for countless individuals.
"If the sky falls, let the tall ones hold it up. Everyone, eat, drink, make merry, keep the music playing, keep dancing!"
Initially, some of the wizarding world's higher-ups were happy to see this happen. Whatever the reason, the potential unrest was quelled, which was great.
But they soon realized they were being naive.
Wizards don't understand faith. They don't realize that when people place their hopes for life on others, they become somewhat irrational.
It might not be obvious in normal times, but it becomes glaringly apparent when unexpected events occur.
The wizarding community is a relatively small, flat society, where news travels fast. Roger had barely taught Harry the Time Magic when it became common knowledge.
This prompted many people to pay attention to Time Magic, and then they discovered that this magic, which they hadn't heard much about before, was restricted by hundreds of laws.
Soon after, a wave of voices began to emerge: "I don't think this is right. If you restrict it like this,
won't magic related to time become impossible to develop at all?"
Ministry of Magic Spokesperson: "Is it possible that we imposed these restrictions because we don't want anyone researching this thing?"
"Oh, so you're saying that if something big happens in the future, you won't need the Seer and Savior's help and can handle it on your own?"
Eventually, the debate began to slowly ferment. Although it wasn't very intense, some people in the Ministry of Magic did propose amendments to the relevant laws.
After listening to Dumbledore's account, Roger frowned even more deeply: "What is all this about?"
Although reducing the Ministry of Magic's restrictions on Time Magic would be beneficial to him, he didn't like what was happening.
It reminded him of some things that happened in the Middle East.
Originally, he just wanted to use the name of a religious prophet to gather a small group to survive the war.
But unexpectedly, the team grew spontaneously, with more and more people joining.
The number of people quickly ballooned from hundreds to tens of thousands.
People even unilaterally placed unrealistic hopes on him.
Humans always like to unilaterally 'create gods', and when they find that the 'god' is not so omnipotent, they want to trample him into the ground.
After pondering for a moment, Roger turned to look at Dumbledore: "Let's see how things develop. If the trend intensifies, I'll step in and do something."
There's a saying that goes, 'Irrational longing is the emotion furthest from understanding'.
The Three-Dimensional Theory is Roger's most important endeavor at the moment. The theory sounds complex, but it can actually be summarized in one simple sentence.
The Three-Dimensional Theory is Roger's grasp to gradually pull magic from idealism to materialism, an attempt to interpret the truth with reason and logic.
The spread of idol worship is very detrimental to Roger's development.
What Roger needs are peers who can provide conflicting or even completely opposite opinions, not followers who blindly imitate him!
Seeing that Roger had already made a decision, Dumbledore didn't say anything more on the matter.
In Dumbledore's opinion, Roger was a reliable person, and since he had noticed it, there was no need for him to give any unnecessary instructions.
Opening the book in his hand, the two began to get down to business.
Dumbledore officially began collaborating with Roger at the end of December, about half a month ago.
During this time, with Dumbledore's help, Roger had greatly improved his 'Body Transformation Magic', and he could now keep the Plutonian activated for more than 3 minutes.
Of course, that's not the most important thing.
Being able to control the power of nuclear fusion is just one application of Body Transformation Magic, not the whole thing.
Its essence is the transformation of life forms.
When Roger perfects this magic to a certain level, he can completely create effects similar to the Susanoo's ethereal form in Naruto.
Immune to all non-magical attacks.
...—...
When his thoughts turned to this point, Roger suddenly froze.
He realized a problem.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, have you ever tried casting spells in outer space?"
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore, who had been discussing another issue with Roger just a moment ago, didn't understand the sudden leap in the conversation.
"Suppose, I mean suppose, I cast a spell on the entire moon and dragged it to the ground—..."
"Stop with your bold ideas." Before Roger could finish, Dumbledore interrupted directly.
"I'm not saying I'm really going to do it. I can't do that kind of thing even if I become 100 times stronger now. What I mean is, if some earth-shattering scene occurs, as long as enough people witness it, will it inherently carry some magical lethality?"
Ritual magic is everywhere. Muggles can't cast spells, but that doesn't mean Muggle thinking can't affect magic.
The existence of Alaya Magic has already demonstrated the power of Muggles.
Theoretically, it makes perfect sense.
If that's the case, the application direction of Body Transformation Magic needs to be adjusted.
Although he realized this, Roger didn't take it too seriously.
In the end, Body Transformation Magic is just a technique derived from the Three-Dimensional Theory, just like Arhat Fist is just a small branch of martial arts.
When it really comes to large-scale combat, Roger has things with even more terrifying power!
Roger's magic has reached the realm of self-reorganization.
In a sense, his vision when he first started school has been realized.
How my cells, my DNA, the atoms and molecules that make up my body are arranged will be determined by my own will!
At this moment, Roger is only missing a vast database from the complete form of an ultimate creature.
In other words, as long as Roger wants, he can completely create some very dangerous biological weapon mediums. If he delves into this path, there are too many things he can do.
Whether it's the Plague Inc. route or the Zerg route, Roger can try to go down either path now.
But Roger doesn't have that kind of interest.
Instead of working hard on 'technique', he wants to pursue progress on the 'dao'.
When the level of life advances to the next level, it's easy to improve one's technique from a high vantage point, but it's too difficult to use the accumulation of technique to force the advancement of one's level of life.
The entire process of Roger painstakingly studying Transfiguration before developing the Three-Dimensional Theory, but always finding it difficult to take that final step towards immortality, has fully proved this point.
Time passed slowly day by day as Roger and Dumbledore continued to improve the Dimensional Theory.
In the blink of an eye, it was early February. Just as Roger was about to go to the headmaster's office after class as usual, a figure stopped him.
"...—Roger, I think maybe only you can help me."
Roger looked up and saw Hermione standing in front of him with a confused and troubled expression.
Obviously, judging from her dark circles and disheveled hair, she had hesitated for a long time after encountering a problem before coming to him.
