92.1% Hogwarts' White Lord / Chapter 140: 140: Magic 6

Chapter 140: 140: Magic 6

Ivan didn't expect Dumbledore to really accept his sophistry.

Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Dumbledore with a strange look.

"I didn't expect you to be such a headmaster."

"Hahaha."

Dumbledore turned around with a smile. The old headmaster's protection of his shortcomings on the Gringotts issue made Ivan's impression of him change greatly.

Dumbledore is also a person, an elder.

He really knows how to distinguish between the close and the distant.

Ivan is one of his own, and Dumbledore is very tolerant of what he does.

Even if Ivan commits a crime, as long as it does not involve principled issues, Dumbledore will not say anything.

Ivan even suspects that even if he really degenerates and becomes the second Voldemort, Dumbledore will persuade him to get back on track instead of giving up and killing him.

Perhaps in the eyes of the old man, Ivan is still young.

He took the wrong path, which is just an inevitable experience in the process of growing up.

As an elder, it is Dumbledore's responsibility to correct Ivan's mistakes.

His life, his power, even if it is at the cost, if it can be exchanged for Ivan's situation, it is worth it.

Ivan said goodbye to Dumbledore, and then returned to the Gryffindor dormitory impatiently.

Holding an experience point in his hand, Ivan's mind is now full of what changes will be obtained after adding it to the soul or magic.

"Ivan?"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Ivan did not see Hermione and others.

Neville stayed here.

When he saw Ivan, he was a little curious about where he had gone.

But Neville did not ask, merely looking at Ivan in surprise as he hurriedly opened the secret world closet and stepped inside.

"What's going on?"

Neville had never seen Ivan so excited before.

"Ivan's back?"

As Neville stood puzzled, Hermione and Parvati entered the dormitory.

The two asked about Ivan, and upon learning that he had gone into the secret world, they decided to wait for him in his dormitory.

Meanwhile, Ivan was walking through the secret world.

He made his way directly to Guardian Town and adjusted the permissions of the magic barrier, temporarily preventing anyone from entering.

It wasn't that Ivan didn't trust Hermione and the others—it was more that he couldn't guarantee what might happen when his magic attribute advanced to 6 points.

After all, the leap to 5 points had resulted in the birth of a powerful Obscurus.

And there was no need to elaborate on just how destructive Obscurus could be.

Ivan didn't want to risk accidentally harming Hermione or anyone else because of his magical breakthrough.

For safety's sake, it was better for him to handle this alone.

"System," he said aloud.

Opening the attribute list, Ivan didn't hesitate for a moment and decisively allocated the experience point to the magic attribute.

[Attribute increase successful]

[Magic: 5 → 6]

The instant his magic attribute rose from 5 to 6, Ivan felt an unparalleled sense of comfort course through him.

This feeling was difficult to describe—it was like a person carrying countless heavy loads suddenly setting down the burdens from their shoulders.

"What's going on?"

Ivan couldn't immediately discern the root of the changes he was experiencing. He carefully focused his senses and finally pinpointed the reason for his newfound lightness.

"It's not that my burden has lessened; it's that my strength has increased."

No, it wasn't just strength—it was magic power. Ivan's magic power had undergone a tremendous improvement.

The extent of this enhancement was extraordinary.

If described with numbers, Ivan's magic power at level 5 allowed him to lift a weight of approximately 50 without the aid of a wand.

However, after breaking through to magic power 6, his upper limit had surged to 80.

This 30-point difference might not seem significant at first glance, but it represented a qualitative leap rather than a simple numerical increase.

It was akin to the difference between fine steel and ordinary iron, or between iron tools and bronze tools.

For example, the hardness of copper is less than 3, iron ranges from 4 to 5, while steel can exceed a hardness of 7.

Although these differences in numbers seem minor—just one or two points—the results were vastly different in practice.

When comparing weapons made of bronze, iron, and steel, the steel sword could easily slice through its weaker counterparts.

Ivan's magic power was no different.

Breaking through to magic power 6 granted him capabilities that were unimaginable at level 5.

The changes were not merely incremental—they were transformative.

Ivan felt something strange—some very special fluctuations that seemed to emanate from the darkness.

These fluctuations were omnipresent.

They felt like invisible threads, weaving through every corner of the world Ivan could perceive.

"What are these?"

Ivan activated his spiritual vision and magic eyes, hoping to uncover the mystery of these threads, but even with both, he couldn't see them.

"I can sense them—they're definitely there—but I can't see them."

It became clear to Ivan that his current soul attribute was insufficient. Perhaps only by advancing his soul attribute to 6 could he observe this new layer of reality more clearly.

"What can these threads do?"

Curious, Ivan focused on a single thin thread nearby and carefully interacted with it.

BoOOom!

The moment Ivan touched the thread, he felt an overwhelming sensation ripple through his entire being.

The previously serene earth beneath him began to tremble violently.

Before Ivan could fully grasp what was happening, an earth-shaking explosion roared from a distance.

Startled, Ivan entered his magic incarnation state, his body transforming into a swirl of white energy as he soared into the sky to investigate.

"Holy fucking shit of Merlin!"

Hovering high in the air, Ivan looked on in shock at the scene before him, momentarily frozen.

Several dozen kilometers away from the wardrobe's exit, a mountain hundreds of meters tall had completely collapsed.

For a moment, the ground trembled, boulders tumbled, and trees were uprooted. Countless birds and beasts fled in terror, their instincts screaming of an impending disaster.

"...Did I do that?"

Ivan stared at his hands in disbelief. He could feel the residual magical energy radiating from the shattered mountain in the distance.

It was unmistakably his magic—the lingering traces of the spell he had just inadvertently triggered.

"How did I manage that?"

"I didn't chant a spell, and I didn't even think of casting anything."

The earth cracked, rocks collapsed, and the destruction wrought by this single act was astronomical—easily a hundred, perhaps a thousand times more devastating than the strongest blasting spell Ivan had ever cast.

The earth shuddered, mountains were destroyed, and it resembled nothing short of a natural disaster.

And yet, all of this was the result of Ivan casually lifting a finger and delicately interacting with a single thread.

"What are these threads?"

"Are they some kind of law?"

Ivan's mind raced with theories, and he began to suspect that he had brushed against the essence of these threads—something tied to the breakthroughs achieved at Magic 6.

"Should I try again?"

Determined to understand, Ivan raised his hand once more.

This time, he carefully examined the threads around him. He realized something remarkable: the threads' existence seemed entirely unrelated to physical proximity in the material world.

A thread that appeared to be very close to Ivan could represent a lake or mountain range thousands of miles away.

Chapter 141: 141: Power Can Corrupt

The Strings of the World—this was Ivan's term for the newly discovered phenomena he could now manipulate after breaking through to magic 6.

Although his current soul attribute was insufficient to fully perceive these strings in their true form, Ivan was certain of their existence.

"Is this the essence of magic?"

Ivan lowered his wand, reflecting on the deeper mechanics of the magical system he had uncovered.

"If magic is like a piece of music, then plucking the Strings of the World is akin to casting a spell. Each spell corresponds to different strings, producing unique effects."

Furthermore, Ivan realized that not all strings were created equal.

"Some strings are delicate, like silk or wool, while others are sturdy, like nylon or steel wire—or even iron rods."

Yes, iron rods.

Among the countless Strings of the World, Ivan identified twelve that stood apart from the rest—unyielding, powerful, and almost immovable.

Even with his current magic power of 6, Ivan found that striking these twelve strings required all his strength to elicit even the faintest vibration.

"If I were still at the level of a Archmage, I doubt I could even budge these strings, let alone make them resonate."

Intrigued yet cautious, Ivan refrained from recklessly experimenting with these twelve powerful strings. The one exception he made was the String of Life, which he sensed was relatively gentle and less dangerous.

The feedback from the String of Life was extraordinary.

When Ivan struck it, he felt a warm, vibrant energy flowing back into him—an overwhelming sensation of vitality and growth.

Before he could fully process the experience, he noticed his surroundings begin to change.

The lakes shimmered with renewed clarity, the forests flourished, and even the mountains he had collapsed earlier began to regenerate.

"Is this the realm of magic at level 6?"

Ivan was awestruck. The Strings of the World weren't just tools for creating spells; they held the power to directly alter reality.

True magic was no longer merely an act of force or manipulation. It had evolved into a power that could fundamentally transform the world itself.

If Ivan were to use terms from the novels he had read in his previous life, the Strings of the World could be equated to the laws of nature—fundamental truths that govern reality.

Reaching Magic 6 granted him the ability to directly manipulate these laws through magic.

"The finer threads surrounding the String of Life must represent more specific manifestations of the law of life," Ivan hypothesized.

Testing his theory, he carefully manipulated one of the finer threads. The results confirmed his suspicions:

Silk, thread, and string—three distinct tiers of the laws, arranged from subtle to profound.

Each had its own unique resonance, and the sounds they produced directly influenced the material world.

In essence, if Ivan could decipher the meaning of these threads and strings, he could cast spells with a level of precision and power previously unimaginable.

Great Magic—this was the term Ivan coined for the spells created using the Strings of the World.

Unlike conventional spells, great magic carried the weight of natural disasters.

Ivan's earlier casual manipulation of the strings had caused mountains to collapse and rivers to alter course. The results were miracles on a scale far beyond anything ordinary wizards could achieve.

And yet, this was far from Ivan's limit.

"If I truly unleashed my full strength—and was willing to pay the price—I could compose music using the twelve fundamental laws, akin to the pillars of existence."

These twelve pillars were no ordinary concepts.

Time, space, life, death, love, thought, celestial bodies, destiny…

Each represented an essential force of the universe.

If these principles could be transcribed into strings, forming individual notes in a grand symphony, the resulting magic would possess a level of power that could reshape reality itself.

To describe such force as destructive would hardly do it justice.

"What incredible power," Ivan murmured, awestruck.

He had never imagined that the magic system of the Harry Potter world could reach such heights.

With this newfound mastery, Ivan realized that he could obliterate Voldemort—or even Dumbledore—instantaneously.

"Well, you can't think like that."

Ivan found that his mentality at this moment was very similar to when he awakened the Obscurus.

The Obscurus carried strong negative emotions, and although the World Strings did not have such side effects, the vague impulse in his heart was also difficult to suppress.

How to say it, it's like the curiosity of a cat.

The strings of the world also seem to have an incomparable temptation, attracting Ivan to touch and pluck.

"Every thread, every string of the world, represents a meaning."

"What a wonderful music it will be when it is played..."

"Especially the scene in reality represented by this music, whether it is destruction, rebirth, or creation."

"I can wield creation magic while truly exploring the song of the world itself.. how wonderful would it be? And if it ended up destroying everything.. who really can point fingers at me? No one can stop me right?"

"Will Dumbledore reprimand me? Yes. But could he be able to do anything? No, right? Will Hermione hate me? Maybe.. but with this kind of power, who the fuck cares what the lower life forms think.. Countless strings of the world are right in front of me, waiting for my exploration—!"

Slap!

"Haah.. What the fuck is wrong with me!"

Ivan slapped himself hard and took several deep breaths trying to supress those dangerous thoughts, he knew that this might be the burden of awakening the strings of the world.

"Is this how normal wizards feel while using powerful dark magic?"

Ivan realized that just like how the dark wizards lose themselves in dark magic itself, he could lose himself in this new magic which seemed more powerful than any other magic known in the world.

"These strings of the world are not something that can be touched easily."

Ivan kept reminding himself in his heart: "The cost of trying is not something I can afford."

The strings of the world are like blind boxes, they are big and small.

Ivan knows that those big boxes contain very terrible power, he can take the initiative to avoid and not touch them...

But what about the small boxes?

They are countless, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as numerous as stars.

Especially when Ivan was about to try to pluck a lifeline near the string of life, the soul's warning began to sound without warning.

The lifeline is not only about resuscitation and rebirth, it also represents the state of different lives and the changes of species.

There is no doubt that once Ivan touches the lifeline of a species, the consequences will be disastrous.

Changing the genes of a species and causing it to mutate is a small matter.

What is more terrifying is breaking the taboo of life and creating a terrible monster.

"And I am not sure what these lifelines represent specifically."

Will there be a lifeline of someone Ivan knows? Once he touches it, Hermione, Luna and the others might age and die in an instant.

Ivan couldn't imagine such a thing at all.

Therefore, before he could control this power, Ivan had to be extremely cautious and never use it with a playful attitude.

As for how to solve it...

"Is the soul attribute insufficient?"

Ivan was basically sure that there was a delicate balance between the soul, magic power, and physique.

When the soul attribute reached 6, Ivan would know what each world string represented specifically.

Then, he could rely on the thinking attribute to perform more accurate control.

"If the function of thinking 3 is analysis and calculation, then will it be control? "Is there a way to make the world string produce the sound I want?"

Ivan thought it was very likely. "Then what about the mind? What's the use of the mind?" he mused.

"Music..."

After a moment, Ivan's thoughts became clearer.

"What is the most important thing about a song?" he asked to himself.

"Emotion!"

The mind, Ivan realized, was the power of emotions. The process of casting spells as a wizard relied heavily on channeling one's emotions to influence and shape the rules of magic.

In essence, rules and concepts had the capacity to resonate with and accept emotions.

The observation from the soul, the strength drawn from magic, the precision provided by will, the analytical clarity from thinking—all of these combined to project the emotions the wizard's mind intended to express onto the world.

This understanding, Ivan concluded, was the key to unlocking and navigating the full potential of Magic level 6.
