Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

In the darkness, only one head remained.

The body has been cut cleanly, the heart has been removed, the tongue has been cut out, and the eyes have been blinded. He can't see anything.

Opposite the head, a dark, sticky mud changes shape, "You can't speak, you can't see, you can't eat, you can't move, let alone have fun. All happy things have nothing to do with you, and all that's left is pain. , Why don’t you let go of such a thing?”

"Give up, this is despair, you have no chance of making a comeback!"

【No】

"Okay, then even the sense of hearing is taken away, and the sense of touch is taken away. There is only silence and stillness in this world. You are like a brain in a vat."

The sound faded away.

The last touch of touch was gone.

In the emptiness, only a consciousness was left humming.

【I'm still thinking. 】

【I still exist. 】

[Even though there is no body, no heartbeat, and only one head left, it still exists. 】

【I see. 】

【This is not a reality. 】

【This is an illusion. 】

Click.

A gap opened in the darkness.

[That thing called despair can deprive me of all my senses and cause endless pain, but it cannot stop my thoughts. 】

[Because this is the deepest part of self-awareness and the singularity of the idealistic world. It is within the horizon of the black hole of the soul. 】

[Here, I am the absolute master. 】

[I am the only rule in this idealistic world. 】

【So……】

【There must be light. 】

…

In the ring, Professor Sprout watched Murphy and Snape drink the potion, worried.

Murphy had been standing still after drinking the potion, while Snape was panting violently, as if he was experiencing great pain.

And this pain seemed to be radiating outwards. The dark magic spread and the surrounding temperature began to drop. The flowers and plants beside the ring withered and decayed visibly to the naked eye, and even the sky was covered with clouds.

"Is this... a magic riot?" Professor Sprout was surprised and quickly asked the students to move away from the arena to prevent them from being accidentally injured by the two people's riot magic.

"Mrs. Pomfrey, what should we do now?" Professor Sprout was a little unsure, "Should we find a way to wake them up?"

"Okay, let me think of a solution. That potion is very dangerous. If it is delayed for a long time, it may cause terrible psychological damage..."

However, before she finished speaking, Murphy suddenly opened his eyes.

"Let there be light."

He said.

Suddenly, a ray of sky light broke through the clouds, swinging away the haze like a sharp sword, shining on everyone. The temperature seemed to rise several degrees in an instant, which inexplicably relieved everyone's originally worried mood.

Murphy let out a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the timer on the table. He experienced what seemed like a lifetime in that illusion, but in reality it was only a few minutes.

"Professor Darkholm, how do you feel?" Sprout asked quickly.

"I have no problem." Murphy said, glancing at Snape who was sweating profusely and seemed about to faint at any time. "Mrs. Pomfrey, prepare to treat him now."

The power of the Remembrance Potion plus the Despair Potion is almost fatal to a person like Snape who has suffered major psychological trauma.

Even if he can really survive the effects of the medicine, he may suffer from severe depression when he wakes up. If he doesn't get treatment quickly, this old boy may be useless.

…

However, despite Madam Pomfrey's best efforts, Snape did not wake up until evening. Although he was woken up during this period, he was still immersed in endless sadness, and he almost collapsed from crying.

Fortunately, due to Murphy's suggestion, he was transferred to a separate ward in time to avoid losing his temper in front of teachers and students.

Murphy undoubtedly won the bet, but at the moment he had no time to show off to Snape.

In the mental illusion created by the despair potion, he realized a unique concept.

"Assuming that the essence of magic is really idealistic, then its completely idealistic scope must be very small and cannot interfere with other wills."

"But within this absolutely idealistic realm that does not interfere with other wills, it is a wish-granting machine that makes your wishes come true."

“This singularity of absolute will is where will is above all else and determines the realm of matter.”

"Within the spiritual horizon, everything outside will lose its meaning. No matter it is material or magic, nothing can invade this realm-unless it is actively accepted by the will."

If this hypothesis is true, which is very likely, is it possible to establish a path to godhood through this?

This is a completely idealistic path, which is very different from the transformation path and the incantation path. Its essence is that "there is nothing outside the mind."

Murphy plans to call this path the "spiritual path."

The direction of its path is also very clear. As long as the "spiritual horizon" of the "absolute will singularity" is expanded to include a wider area, the "wish comes true" can be extended to the larger outside world, thereby making the external world It can also be changed at will by one's own will.

This thing is actually like the so-called "field" commonly seen in fantasy novels.

Assuming that the scope of the "mental horizon" is a physical scope, then it may be very small, maybe at the molecular level, atomic level or even the quantum level.

But since it is the range extended by the idealistic singularity, it does not necessarily have to be in the physical sense. It may also be regarded as the range in the conceptual sense.

For example, biology is a concept, and this concept is larger than the concept of animals in a certain sense. The concept of animals is larger than mammals, mammals are larger than humans, humans are larger than Homo sapiens, and Homo sapiens is larger than British people are bigger, British people are bigger than Londoners.

But from this perspective, concepts also have scope.

Perhaps, you can start with a small-scale concept and expand your own "field."

For example, Murphy can now control lightning based on the power of the thunderbird. So if he expands the concept of lightning to the "electromagnetic phenomena" next to him, can he also directly control various electromagnetic phenomena? Like Magneto?

This expansion of the scope of concepts is certainly not as comprehensive as the expansion of the scope of physical meaning.

Assuming that the spiritual horizon can be expanded to a physical range of two meters, within these two meters is his small universe. The laws of all things within these two meters are determined by one word. Its comprehensiveness and power cannot be achieved by expanding the scope of concepts. , but in terms of operational difficulty, it may be easier to expand the concept.

After all, if understood from the perspective of spiritual pathways, magic, spells, etc. can actually be seen as the cross-effects of various spiritual realms.

In other words, all existing magic can be regarded as the application of spiritual pathways.

It is even possible to directly divide the six magic areas based on the six-dimensional attributes of magic power.

Compared with the transformation path and the conjuration path, the understanding threshold of the spiritual path is very low. To a certain extent, it can replace the conjuration path that is difficult for wizards to understand, and provide programmatic direction guidance for wizards' research.

In this way, he can even use those wastes.

It's really gratifying.

…

After the gambling incident, Murphy spent several days focusing on perfecting the theory of psychic pathways. He was preparing to formulate a paper and publish it in Magic Weekly to summarize the fragmented magic research in the wizarding world into the framework of psychic pathways. Come.

But not until the paper is finished.

He then received a piece of news from the Soviet Union.

Barty Crouch Jr. bowed respectfully to him in Crow Vision, "Great Master, we have found an opportunity."

"The replacement plan can be implemented."
