Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 130 Safe Methods for Summoning Outer Gods

Gilderoy Lockhart threw down the brick and squatted down beside the unconscious Tiera.

Gilderoy first tore open Tiera's outermost wizard's robe, then turned it inside out—

There was only candy, a pen, a magic wand, a few sheets of napkins, and—

Is there another piece of raw meat?
"What is all this stuff?" Gilderoy Lockhart threw the pile of junk on the ground and continued tearing open Tiera's woolen vest. This time, he touched a hard-covered book—

Gidrol Lockhart quickly tore open Tierra's shirt again and pulled the "diary" out from under it—

"Haha, finally, finally I got it!" Gilderoy Lockhart excitedly held the "diary" in his hand.

Gilderoy Lockhart quickly put away the notebook, then drew his wand, about to cast a Forgetfulness Charm on Tierra—

Should I use Legilimency to read his memories first?

A thought popped into Gilderoy Lockhart's mind—

However, my attempts at grasping at thoughts rarely succeed, and given the time constraints, I'd better abandon this idea.

Gilderoy Lockhart thought of—

But at this moment, another thought emerged:
[Maybe everything will be different once we have a magic diary?]

"I'll give it a try then."

Gilderoy Lockhart took out his diary again, held it in his left hand, and then raised his wand with his right hand—

"Legitimacy—" Gilderoy Lockhart murmured the incantation, and suddenly, a series of images flooded into his mind—

Tierra's tragic life in the orphanage—

The joy of receiving the Hogwarts acceptance letter—

Happy times at Hogwarts—

Just as Gidrol Lockhart was about to lose patience, the memory shifted to Tierra's Christmas in her first year of school—

Tierra receives Tom Riddle's diary.

Then it's about how Tierra, with the help of a character named Tom Riddle in the diary, diligently studied magic and gradually gained magical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people under the diary's guidance.

And how Tierra found a book in the library called "Magical Experiments on Muggles and Mudbloods," and how she found three parchment sheets inside the book's cover—

It recorded a ritual, a ritual that could grant a person boundless power—

Gilderoy Lockhart had considered using rituals to enhance his magical abilities before, but ultimately, neither rituals he conducted himself nor those performed by renowned ritual masters in the magical world had any effect.

Therefore, even though Gilderoy Lockhart wasn't very skilled in magical rituals, he could still tell just by looking at it—

The ritual in Tierra's mind was unlike any ritual he had ever known before—

If the rituals I'd performed before were merely children's wizarding books, then the ritual in Tierra's mind was a timeless masterpiece like "Me, the One with Magic!"

This is what Gidlowhart was thinking.

Tierra, lying on the ground, twitched at the corner of her mouth, but ultimately suppressed it with her strong mental fortitude.

Gilderoy Lockhart tried his best to memorize the ritual in Tiera's mind; he even considered finding a pen and paper to draw out the structure of the ritual.

But strangely, the ritual—that three-page ritual, the altar filled with countless intricate patterns, the tongue-twisting prayers, the method for crafting the magical item called the "Old Seal" used to exorcise the "God of Wisdom and Magic," and the incantation for its use—

Like a red-hot branding iron, the knowledge on those three pages was imprinted in Gilderoy Lockhart's mind. With just a little recollection, it would vividly appear before his eyes—[Could it be that I actually have more talent in ritual magic?] Gilderoy Lockhart thought to himself.

Tierra's lips twitched almost imperceptibly again.

Having obtained what he wanted, Gilderoy Lockhart contentedly placed the diary into his robes, then raised his wand once more, pointing it at Tyella's head—

“Obiliviate”

A beam of white light shot from the tip of Gilderoy Lockhart's wand and into Tiera's mental dimension—

Then, they were blocked outside the fifth layer of mental defenses. White light scattered, precisely erasing all memories of Tom Riddle's notebook from the illusion created by Tiera's Occlumency technique.

It must be said that although Gilderoy Lockhart's other magic was terrible, his talent for the Oblivion Charm was truly top-notch.

Just as the white light struck Tiera's fifth layer of mental defenses, Tiera felt a long-lost "touch"—

It should be noted that ever since Tiera successfully constructed the fifth layer of her mental barrier and greatly increased her mental strength, even Tom Riddle's Legilimency was unable to bypass the false memories constructed by the Occlumency technique on the outside.

After Lockhart saw that his Oblivion Spell had been successfully cast, he dusted off his robes, got up, and returned to his office.

Tiera, after arriving on the third floor of Gidrolohart, immediately opened her eyes and touched the back of her head—

“That Gilderoy is really ruthless.” Tiera touched her hand with blood, then smeared it on her torn wool vest—

Blood seeped into the wool vest, causing the wool threads to wriggle and huddle together, the broken wool reconnecting. Tiera used her own blood to activate the vest's biological activity, allowing it to complete its self-repair.

After standing up, Tiera waved his wand, and the scattered items flew back into his pocket—

Aside from that piece of raw meat, which was from some unknown creature that Raven had brought him from outside, he had casually stuffed it into his pocket last night and then forgotten to take it out.

Then Tiera went back into the girls' restroom.

He found his hidden, seamless extension pack and Tom Riddle's diary, which was concealed inside the water tank and wrapped in his skin.

The real Tom Riddle's diary is still in Tierra's hands; what Gilderoy Lockhart holds is merely a "successor" disguised as the diary.

Just as Gilderoy Lockhart ambushed him, Tyella, through the Dark Lord's mark imprinted on the "Inheritor" this summer and the "Inheritor's" own innate magic—"Gap"—directly connected all of Tom Riddle's senses in his diary to the "Inheritor."

Although the real Tom Riddle's diary is now in Tierra's hands, he is completely oblivious to his surroundings. No matter what Tierra writes in the diary, he will feel nothing.

Because now all of Tom Riddle's knowledge has been connected by Tiera to the "Inheritor"—

Whatever Gilderoy Lockhart writes on the "Inheritor" will be directly transmitted back to the real Tom Riddle's diary.

Gilderoy Lockhart and Tom Riddle were connected through this special method—

This does not affect communication between the two, but at the same time, it will be monitored by Tiera.

Firstly, to protect Gilderoy Lockhart from having too many secrets discovered by Tom Riddle's Legilimency.

Secondly, they monitored the communication between the two and, by modifying some inconspicuous details, guided them to perform the ceremony.

Guide them to summon Yog-Sothoth.

After all, what's the one way in this world to summon an Outer God without going insane?

That means letting others summon the monsters, and then I'll loot the loot boxes after they've gone crazy.

As promised, six consecutive updates after the final exams!
