Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

Chapter 16 Ceremony

Amon stood next to Harry, quietly watching this fateful "battle".

It was he who had just reminded Harry to rush forward and "kill" Voldemort.

Of course, this would actually only kill Voldemort's body, which is Quirrell.

He had already seen wisps of white mist floating up from Quirrell's remains.

But he stayed here just to solve this problem.

I saw the magic wand in Amon's hand waving again.

"Tenebris! (Hidden)"

He directly "hidden" Voldemort!

Given Voldemort's current extremely bad state, as long as he is "hidden" for just a little longer, a month, half a month, or even a week, his helpless wandering soul will completely dissipate.

It's just such a waste to do that.

Moreover, once Voldemort's main soul dissipates, he will be resurrected from a Horcrux.

But Amon didn't know the rules of Horcruxes. If the order of resurrection was determined based on the distance between the production time and death, then Harry, the "savior", would probably become the Dark Lord.

It seems interesting to think about it this way?

Amon curled his lips and gave Harry a deep look.

Forget it, after all, I'm still supporting Harry now, so just consider it as a return favor and let him go.

Thinking this, he saw fire suddenly blooming around Harry, and turned around and left.

……

Amon came to the Room of Requirement, walked to the table, and took out a ruby-like spar from his pocket—it was the legendary magic stone that could be refined into gold and the elixir of immortality!

He held the magic stone high and looked at it with admiration as if looking at the sun.

Wizards regarded this magical stone as the pinnacle and ultimate goal of alchemy.

But in Amon's view, this magic stone can only be regarded as a semi-finished Philosopher's Stone.

After all, the true Philosopher's Stone is supposed to be indestructible, but the Philosopher's Stone appears to be destroyable.

So Amon felt that the Philosopher's Stone might indeed have the properties of the Philosopher's Stone, but it was neither complete nor perfect.

Of course, even so, he had to admit that this half-finished Philosopher's Stone still possessed extremely mysterious and powerful power.

Amon activated the magic stone with magic power while raising the corner of his mouth.

Crimson light lit up, reflecting into his dark eyes.

His brain suddenly became extremely clear, and all his perceptions seemed to be lifted to the clouds.

At this time, the world became clear in his perception, just like the frog at the bottom of the well jumped out of the well, jumped out of the earth, jumped out of the galaxy, jumped out of the universe...

The so-called truth is as easy to pick up as a child's marbles.

Concepts like fate and time are no longer abstract and seem within reach.

Unfortunately, this transcendental state only lasted for a moment, so short that he didn't even have time to blink or take a breath. When Amon came back to his senses, everything seemed to be an illusion.

But he still gained enough - he had integrated all the knowledge he had learned before in his mind, and understood a deeper level, including the new magic spell he "created"!

Amon put down his hand with satisfaction and played with the magic stone repeatedly, his eyes shining with light.

He was suddenly curious about other magical uses of the Philosopher's Stone, such as its most famous ability to refine gold.

So is it transfiguration, or is it an instant, high-end alchemy?

Do it when you think of it.

Amon took out a small piece of wood from his pocket - this was what he used to practice his transfiguration.

He used magic power to convey his wishes to the magic stone, and then noticed that with just a flash of red light, the original wooden block turned into shining gold.

Amon looked at the piece of gold with great interest, and wanted to use his sight to sense it.

To his surprise, Vision, which usually ignored him coldly, responded to his wishes this time.

Probably the magic stone just made it active, Amon guessed.

But soon his attention shifted from the sight to the gold, because the feedback from the sight to the gold had already appeared in his perception.

——Pure, mature and perfect.

At this moment, these concepts emerged from Amon's mind.

If he were asked to describe this piece of gold, it would probably be these adjectives.

The gold refined from the magic stone does not seem to be exactly the same as ordinary gold. It is just like 100% pure gold and high-purity gold. Such an extremely insignificant difference results in the two substances being completely the same.

Moreover, the gold refined from the magic stone also gives people an unexplainable meaning. In terms of properties, it may be more suitable for making magic materials.

Amon sat down and prepared to test it, but suddenly felt that he had forgotten something important.

But I already have the magic stone, what else is important...

He noticed the parchment on the table in confusion.

After glancing at the content above, the whole person suddenly froze, as if he was caught in chaotic memories.

After a moment, Amon smiled and shook his head.

"As expected of me!"

Then he put away the magic stone and gold, stood up, and took out a very gorgeous-looking pocket watch from his pocket - it was the "Time Turner" that had not been used for a long time.

He turned the "Time Turner", and after the familiar light and shadow flowed, he returned to some time before Quirrell entered the secret passage.

Then Amon left the Room of Requirement and came to the fourth floor corridor to wait.

As if history was repeating itself, the scenes he had experienced appeared before his eyes again. He saw 'Qi Luo', saw the trio, and also saw "himself".

Amon took out the pocket watch he had just "held" on the road and confirmed the real time.

When the pointer reached the position in his memory, he quickly raised the wand and pointed it at his past self.

A white light shot out, and Amon's movements in the past froze for a moment - he modified the memory of his past self and added some hints.

Immediately afterwards, Amon cast a secret spell and a lucky spell on his past self -

In fact, it is impossible to affect the outside world in the "hidden" state.

And Amon was able to do this because of another curse - the Error Curse.

If the Secret Curse is the magic version of the "hidden" ability, then the Error Curse is the magic version of the "wrong" ability!

The hidden realm is not a realm that does not exist. It can actually be broken from the outside world.

And as a spell caster, Amon can also perceive changes in the outside world.

Therefore, he is now taking advantage of this "loophole" so that the magic he casts in a "secret" state can affect the outside world.

……

Next, Amon followed his past self into the secret passage, walked the path he had already walked twice, and reached the room at the end, where he saw 'Qi Luo' again.

He walked into the "theater" again like an audience who was still not satisfied, and then gave a heartfelt applause when the performance reached its climax:

"Loopholes!"

At this time, Amon took advantage of the similarity between him and Harry after drinking Polyjuice Potion in the past, and stole the Philosopher's Stone - "The Philosopher's Stone is in Harry's pocket" equals "The Philosopher's Stone is in 'Harry'" in the pocket".

A pleasant smile appeared on his lips.

Then he waited for Voldemort to turn into a pile of debris and cast a spell to "hide" him.

In this way, Amon has completed all the previous "patches".

But at this moment, he suddenly shook his head, and when he woke up again, he was back in the corridor on the fourth floor.

Amon raised his hand and pinched his right eye socket, as if wondering why he was suddenly distracted.

But soon even this doubt disappeared under the influence of invisible forces.

I saw him minding his own business, taking out a large bottle of muddy, bubbling potion from the pocket of his magic robe, and began to implement his plan.

——The present and the past overlap, and time is like a river connected end to end, completing the closed loop at this moment.

……

How many times has Amon been reincarnated in this cycle of fate?

——Not even once, actually.

When Amon followed his destiny and came to the Room of Requirement, he immediately understood everything when he saw the parchment, so he used an invisibility spell to destroy the parchment.

The moment the parchment was destroyed, the invisible barrier like a wall of water shattered silently, the cycle was broken, Amon's fate returned to its normal trajectory, and he was able to return to normal time.

——In man-made mysterious worlds, such as hidden worlds and destiny cycles, there must be an "exit". This is a rule that cannot be bypassed!

After such an experience, the smile on Amon's face became a little helpless. I don't know why, this kind of self-adjustment can be done so smoothly.

But then he seemed to remember something interesting, and his expression became excited again——

Although he has nothing to do with himself, he still has his past self!

Then he took out the magic stone and activated it again.

After the same experience as last time, he found that the magic stone became much darker.

Amon's eyes paused on the magic stone for two seconds.

Even though he guessed that the Philosopher's Stone might not really reach the level of the legendary Philosopher's Stone, that it was neither pure spirit nor infinite magic power, he did not expect that it would be so ineffective.

Even though the creation of the cycle spell this time is not exactly the same as the creation of the secret spell, lucky spell and error spell before -

Although Amon had personally experienced the effect of the curse, the circulation curse was not as meticulously designed as the former.

So in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he consumed more power from the magic stone to maintain that transcendent state.

But Amon also knows that in fact this kind of power consumption is by no means as terrifying as it sounds.

In the end, the Philosopher's Stone symbolizes the ultimate in alchemy, almost equivalent to the existence of truth.

Even if the Magic Stone is half a level lower than the Philosopher's Stone, if it is only used as a auxiliary consumable item to increase his vision talent and protect him from "looking directly" at the magic rules, then if it is consumed to this extent, then The purity of the Philosopher's Stone is highly questionable.

But now is not the time to dwell on this issue. There will be a lot of time to study it after the final "patch" is completed.

So Amon took out the "Time Turner" again and moved the pointer.

The reversal pointer once again took him back in time, back to the time when Harry and Voldemort were confronting each other.

He is like a belated audience, and like a playwright making a solemn appearance.

And when the playwright walks onto the stage, the play should be over——

"Ouroboros! (What comes around again)"

Like an orchestra conductor stopping his baton at the end of a performance, Amon's wand was swung down cleanly.

——Thus, this ceremony full of weirdness and mystery finally came to an end!

During this period, Amon carried out a perfect "fraud" - whether it was improving the invisibility potion, preparing the Felixir and Polyjuice Potion, or deliberately not using the "Time Turner" to let the subconscious downplay its existence, it was all a fraud. his own subconscious, allowing it to take on “the shape of a new curse”;

Then modifying his past memory deceived his autonomous thinking, making his subjective mind believe that a new curse had been created;

In the end, he went back to the past and cast a spell on his past self, defrauding himself, allowing himself to completely strengthen his subjective consciousness, and then defrauded the magic stone, defrauded the magic power, defrauded the rules of magic, and completed the creation of a new curse.

And "fooling" - because "secret" is not recorded in history, does not communicate with fate, and when using the magic stone, it will cause the "secret" state to be unstable and interact with reality to a certain extent;

So the history before and after he used the Philosopher's Stone is "Amon first created the new magic stone and then got the Philosopher's Stone" and "Amon got the Philosopher's Stone first and then realized the new magic stone", which created a self-contradiction, so history was Fooled;

He then traveled back in time and fooled time by the act of creating a time loop;

In the meantime, he used the "Time Turner" twice, resulting in "Amon has not created a new spell yet" and "Amon has already created a new spell", "Amon has not yet obtained the magic stone" and "Amon has not yet obtained the magic stone". Three pairs of different fates: "Have obtained the Philosopher's Stone", "Amon has fallen into a time loop" and "Amon has escaped from the time loop" respectively exist at the same time and fool fate.

and so……

Amon opened his left hand that was holding the Philosopher's Stone - to complete the cycle spell covering the entire Hogwarts, one must rely on the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

At this time, the magic stone once again responded to his wish and lit up with a blazing light.

It's like the last fire in the eyes of a moth fluttering into the fire - the light that burns life.

Under the dazzling red light, Amon's "hidden" figure even loomed.

After one thousandth or one tens of thousands of seconds, the Magic Stone extinguished faster than a fleeting meteor, and finally turned into a piece of ordinary-looking transparent crystal...
