章 47: An Obscurus' Magical Might - Unlimited Potential! (II)
A few moments before,
No matter whether Darcie, as an 11-year-old girl or as the parasitic magical force, the Obscurus, she still couldn't be at three places at once.
Uncaring of the three six-winged Thunderbirds clawing the flesh out of the giant Basilisk, the colossal dragon let out a roar before breathing out another pillar of fire. This time, the purple wrath was directed at the entire row of students standing on the train in sheer terror.
The Graphorn's horns were mere inches away from students. It wouldn't be like the case of Madame Villanelle, where the tip of the horn had pierced through her back. With the undead magical creature's size and its being on the ground, if the horns made contact, they were bound to rip at least half a dozen students into pieces.
Much less needed to be said about the Zouwu.
One smash from its paw and only a mass of pulpy flesh would be left behind.
The violent of torrent darkness, the Obscurus, didn't have the required rationality to think about all such stuff. However, it did know one thing. Somehow…
... just somehow, it needed to…
… stop time.

Within Darcie's mind, the mass of blackness surrounding the Ad Infinitum was undergoing a definite change.
Thick bolts of green lightning were getting thicker. The churns and coils of the dark, foggy, liquid-like substances were becoming even more turbulent. The gap between the amorphous, violent force of nature, and the yellow nebula, was getting smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, a green thunderbolt left the blackness and struck a yellow crystal.
Hmm? Kai frowned, perceiving this unknown change.
The green thunderbolt coiled around the yellow crystal several times. Then, as if not finding what it wanted, it bounced to another yellow crystal. Then another, and then another… It kept bouncing between the stars like a green pulse of light, cracking and booming.
Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished.
However, just as Kai had thought it was over, the blackness rumbled like never before.
Crac-ccc-kkkkk!!!
Thousands upon thousands of green thunderbolts descended from everywhere in a spherical manner. It was as if a single, giant cloud had covered the earth and was raining down lighting to annihilate all creation.
The green thunderbolts kept bouncing from yellow crystals to crystals, turning half a nebula green along with them.
Kai's frown deepened. What's going on?!
"An unknown entity is trying to access data…" the Ad Infinitum beeped out the warning.
"What?!" Kai's mind jolted.
Since the creation of the AI, this could be considered the first time when a foreign being was actively attacking his mind structure. With great apprehension, Kai observed the green thunderbolts, obviously trying to shatter the yellow crystals to access the data within.
If it was anyone else, then Kai wouldn't have worried about such a blatant invasion.
But this wasn't even a person anymore. It was a manifestation of nature's pure wrath. Given the Harry Potter Random World, it wasn't just nature's wrath, but it was also the most violent magical force one could find across the various Random Worlds in the Multiverse.
"What's the probability of the Obscurus breaking in?" Kai asked.
From a glance, it was obvious that the green thunderbolts had obviously failed to access whatever they wanted. With each yellow crystal reflecting every other yellow crystal, it was impossible to pinpoint the location of desired data anyway.
This was the entire purpose of having a mind structure like this.
The presence of AI was just a boon over it.
"With the current output of the Obscurus' activity, the probability of breaking in the mind structure is 0%," the Ad Infinitum beeped, calculating. "If the output were to increase by 50%, then the probability will rise to 10%."
Kai didn't panic hearing the AI.
With every single moment that passed, his old scientific mind kept taking over his thoughts. It was but a brilliant opportunity to know the exact nature of Anomaly. If the Systems meant to tell him what an Anomaly was, then they would have done so already. Who knew when he would get another chance to pry into this mystery, ripping it apart from the roots?
"Ad Infinitum…" Kai said, curiosity taking over caution in his heart, "… let it… access all data…"
"It is recommended not to…"
"Do it." Kai cut off the Ad Infinitum.
The AI would absolutely process everything in his favor. But there were some things he wouldn't know or get his hands on without risking it all. Moreover… his Instinct was screaming out its lungs to him…
… if he lost this chance, he would also miss out on a massive opportunity.
Odd… Kai brooded over a fact as the AI relaxed all the defenses. I am not lucky right now. Yet, my Instincts are telling me it's best to take the risk. If I still had Master Curator Title, would it also bubble out a feeling, telling me to take the risk or not?
No matter the complexity of the question, there was no way Kai could confirm it now.
Thrummm!
The entire yellow nebula shuddered, the crystals shook, and the infinite reflections vanished.
Finally, Kai's mind was open, the AI powering down for good. All his memories, thoughts, and knowledge were naked from head to toe.
It just needed to be seen…
… what the Obscurus would do about it?

The violent, torrential, magical force suddenly jolted before coming to a stop in the sky, right over the top of the students.
The black mass blurred, taking the shape of a twisted, green lightning-haired 11-year-old girl. The girl's dark eyes melted into a sea of raging madness. She raised her hand with a Wand which was shaking in pleasure.
"Serpensortia!"
Out of all of the spells used to conjure living things, the Snake Summons Spell was amongst the easiest, alongside the Bird-Conjuring Charm. Darcie had practiced it before, but she had no penchant for it.
Still, having a liking for a spell or not didn't seem to matter anymore.
Under the stunned gazes of the greatest wizards in the history of this Random World, a green bolt of lightning escaped the tip of the wand.
In the next moment, an over 30-foot-tall, three-headed white serpent appeared amidst students. It's each head had one eye. The eye on its left head was murky yellow, containing mind-boggling configurations. The eye on its right head was blacker than black, millions of springy maggots wriggling within it. And the eye on its middle head was closed, sending a shiver running down the spines of all.
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Selene let out a maddened hiss. Terrifying black and yellow colored rings pulsated down her white, draconic scales, binding all eyes to it in hypnosis.
However, the Three-Headed Devourer didn't get time to act on its murderous thoughts.
The Obscurus churned, letting out a hiss of its own, the Wand shaking in its hand like never before.
-Imperio!-
Selene's multi-colored eyes suddenly lost their colors. In the very next moment, green bolts of lightning manifested within those vertical slits, surrounded by a vast blackness.
Then, unwillingly, the Time-Devourer hissed.
-Time.-
Skill - Time Shift!
Fire paused, becoming a stagnant purple river in the air. The undead Graphorn and Zouwu couldn't move an inch. High in the sky, Ekrizdis, Grindelwald, Voldemort, and Dumbledore all felt the stunning effect of time stasis as if some incomprehensibly powerful wizard had cast a Freezing Charm upon them.
But the greatest shock descended not upon the Characters, but on Black.
Not because his heart had almost thumped out of his chest as he sensed the disappearance of Selene, and then seeing her getting controlled by the Obscurus, but because of the notification hovering in front of his eyes.
…
[

…
Black's face twisted in absolute anger.

Kai's face lit up in absolute fascination.
He didn't know what was going on outside. But, through the AI, he did know which memories the Obscurus had just accessed.
This memory didn't belong to some great spell. Nor did it belong to some hidden knowledge.
This memory was —
Uchiha Madara using Summoning Jutsu to summon the Nine-tailed Fox and then controlling it using Mangekyou Sharingan.
