Chapter 448: Please Enter the Bureau
Decade's identity was hidden in heavy mist, but Harry wasn't worried about this. He believed that as long as Luo En obtained powerful strength, he could defeat Decade and reveal his true face.
Finally, the needle on the watch reached three o'clock. Harry and Hermione stopped chatting immediately and started reciting the resurrection spell. This spell could pull Zhang Qiu and Luo En back from the Dream Realm, because its essence there was the "afterlife."
The white mist surged and drifted again. Accompanied by a loud noise like thunder, Zhang Qiu and Luo En reappeared in this world, and they immediately revealed expressions of relief.
"Success," Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "How are you two? Hermione, are you okay?"
"Still okay, I feel like my magic power is just exhausted, my sanity shouldn't have been lost," she was sitting on the ground at the moment, rubbing her temples gently with both hands.
"That's good—wait, why is it so messy here?" Zhang Qiu saw the traces of the battle at a glance. "What happened?"
Harry sighed, pulled the two to sit down, and described the big battle that just happened slowly.
"In other words," Zhang Qiu opened her notebook to check the records, "Cross-Z unlocked Magma Dragon, Decade unlocked God-Emperor form, Kiva unlocked Demon Emperor form, and Double reached Extreme through merging?"
"It turns out it's called this name," Harry nodded, then pursued: "Does this mean their bottles have all become Fullbottles?"
"How many frames are on Decade?"
"Nine or ten, I didn't look carefully."
"Then he isn't a Fullbottle," Zhang Qiu checked off in her notebook. "Does Kiva have the Demon Emperor Sword?"
"No, he came empty-handed."
"Then that's not it either," Zhang Qiu checked off again. "Is Double silver or golden in the middle?"
"Silver."
"Still okay," Zhang Qiu put the notebook back into her pocket and said very relaxedly: "None of them are full. Saber can easily defeat them now."
"Luo En, did you unlock the Fullbottle?" Harry asked somewhat happily.
Luo En shook his head, but he didn't show weakness: "Almost."
"It doesn't matter, the biggest good news is that they unlocked Extreme," Zhang Qiu finished this sentence and suddenly turned to Hermione. "Then, can you use OOO now?"
Hermione smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Actually, still not really."
"Mm..." Zhang Qiu pondered. "That is to say, it's one step away from Harry's other half of power, but there is no margin for error."
"Which step?" Luo En asked.
Zhang Qiu's gaze flowed between Luo En and Hermione, then said: "Let's consider the margin for error. Hermione, I hope you can use OOO proficiently and continue to advance your hazard level."
"But I can't do it," Hermione shook her head. "I hope to keep a clear head to deal with my daily life, which leads to me... perhaps somewhat repelling the Rider system."
"This doesn't conflict," Luo En said very naturally. "Look at me, I wasn't affected at all."
"That's because you weren't very smart in the first place!" Hermione snapped at him angrily.
Before Luo En could think of a rebuttal, Zhang Qiu had already thought of another way. She said slowly: "Originally I didn't want to use a speculative way, but the situation is urgent now. Hermione, I hope you can understand the 'method of manufacturing a War God'."
"What is that?"
"It's another method to help you master, and evolve, OOO," Zhang Qiu explained. "I asked Master Uncle carefully when I went back last time, but didn't get an answer. This time, he introduced a special method to solve your predicament in his letter."
"Another one? Then what is the first one?" Hermione asked curiously.
The first method was Aliana making the Energy Bottle into a Horcrux. Harry thought of this and patted her shoulder with some sympathy. "Believe me, you won't be happy to know."
"Then let me say the principle of this method, which is to construct another personality in your subconscious. During battle, you can manipulate power with one mind and two uses through the psychological suggestion of 'two people fighting side by side.' Of course, the consumption will also double."
As soon as the words fell, Hermione frowned deeply. She said with some worry: "This might not be feasible, right?"
"Yes, this method has many drawbacks, but we have a way to solve most of them. Let's go find Aliana next," Zhang Qiu said. "We can talk about the supplementary content on the way."
"This method was originally invented by a wizard from Jiaozhi, and later promoted by another wizard from Hong Kong. It is a very complicated and difficult technique to practice, and it is not irreplaceable in the field of multiple spellcasting. However, considering the particularity of OOO and yourself, this technique and the corresponding speculative scheme happen to be usable."
Hermione revealed an uncomprehending look: "If you say OOO is somewhat special, I understand, but what is special about me?"
"Mm, first of all, you are very smart, which shows your brain is relatively developed," Zhang Qiu explained. "And most importantly, you happen to have a good friend you trust enough to fight side by side with, and her emotions can push the power of the Rider system very well."
"I guess you are talking about Aliana, but what does my second personality have to do with her?"
"I want you to construct a second personality with her as a template," Zhang Qiu said words that were even more surprising after a short pause. "And constructing a second personality is a very time-consuming and laborious thing. Fortunately, we have a speculative way, which is to ask her to inject a little bit of thoughts into your brain."
Harry couldn't help but gasp. "Will this be a bit dangerous?"
"No, because Hermione's brain has memorized a lot of knowledge, and her subconscious is strong enough. And all Aliana has to do is inject a little bit of thoughts like drawing a portrait. In this way, as long as Hermione is willing, she can eliminate this second personality at any time."
"Doing this can help Hermione master OOO's power as soon as possible. She only needs to think of 'inviting Aliana to help' in her mind, and she can use the second personality to push the Rider power, complete transformation, or even fight on her behalf. And if she herself is willing to 'fight side by side with Aliana', then she can appear as a 'War God', or conversely, she herself transforms and the second personality appears as a 'War God'."
Hermione raised a hand. She asked: "How should we understand this 'War God'?"
"An entity composed of magic power, which can release some magic that doesn't require high spellcasting. Generally speaking, this also belongs to a type of spellcasting technique, so it cannot be used in Rider form," Zhang Qiu held up two fingers with both hands. "However, given the particularity of OOO, we unanimously believe that 'War God' can be cast through OOO. The magic entity that appears after casting should be able to possess the same speed and power as the OOO main body."
"This sounds exactly the opposite of Extreme Double. They are two people merging into one Rider, and this is one person transforming into two Riders," Harry summarized.
"Yes, this is a quite powerful force, and we really need this force," Zhang Qiu looked at Hermione and said very sincerely.
"Fine, if there is no danger and it is indeed useful for one of your plans," Hermione sighed. "Then I am willing to try."
At this time, Luo En also raised a hand. "Then let me ask a digression, why do you call this 'War God'? I think calling it 'Incarnation' or 'Clone' is more appropriate, right?"
"Mm, this is because the person who invented this move originally constructed the second personality with his deceased brother as a template, and his brother was honored as a War God during his lifetime, so he named it 'Hell War God.' But later wizards who promoted this move didn't know 'War God' referred to a specific person. After he constructed the third personality and fourth personality, he called them 'Double War God' and 'Triple War God.' In this way, these magic clones were specifically called 'War God'."
Hermione revealed an interesting smile. "Always feel the magic history of the Celestial Empire is also quite interesting."
"Of course, if you insist on applying for the Xuanmen Tianzong, you can go to the library there to see in the future," Zhang Qiu said, then rubbed her hands somewhat unnaturally. "But I still don't recommend you go to the Celestial Empire... the people there are somewhat xenophobic, and the social environment..."
"Aliana also suggested I don't go to Miskatonic," Hermione interrupted her, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness. "I guess you are all doing it for my own good, but if I want to continue my studies, there is nowhere else to go."
"Perhaps you can go directly into the Department of Mysteries, just like Donna," Harry suggested.
"Let Hermione work under Lucius Malfoy?" Luo En hummed. "You can think of that."
"Then go to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Harry proposed another idea.
Hermione waved her hand. She said somewhat stubbornly: "I am not very willing to work directly. Although I know I can learn a lot in work, I still hope I can go to university—the worst, worst case is that all applications fail, then I still have one year to prepare for A-Level."
"You are still preparing to go back to the Muggle world to go to university?" Harry felt somewhat helpless after understanding. "But they don't necessarily recognize Hogwarts' educational experience, and it's also hard for you to explain the Wizarding World's matters."
"Yes, so I still hope I can go to a university in the Wizarding World as much as possible," Hermione sighed. "Don't talk about it, let's go talk to Aliana about the War God matter first."
Looking at Aliana, who was sitting diagonally in the library chair not far away with a somewhat withered mental state, Zhang Qiu said softly: "Soon, when you have to use the War God, you will understand why she advised you not to go to Miskatonic." ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
