Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 675 The Cornerstone of Political Systems

The night before Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to Hagrid's hut to comfort him, a Tyella stepped into the pitch-black Forbidden Forest.

Aragog the Eight-Eyed Spider was hatched in a cupboard at Hogwarts and given to Rupert Hagrid, who was then a student, by a traveler from afar. However, Aragog was banished to the Forbidden Forest shortly after hatching due to the Chamber of Secrets incident caused by the young Tom Riddle.

And because they had no natural predators, Aragog thrived for the next fifty years, producing a considerable number of offspring that fed on the creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, Aragog's instinct is to eat humans, but for Hagrid's sake, he has never preyed on humans at Hogwarts.

—This seems like a very touching story, but in Tierra’s view, it is simply a case of invasive species.

Aragogs were an invasive species, and their only natural enemy in Hogwarts, the Basilisk Slytherin, was imprisoned.

Normally, it wouldn't have mattered if there was only Aragog, but the problem is that Hagrid also found him a wife—

Carnivorous, with no natural predators and an extremely high reproductive rate, the eight-eyed giant spiders of Aragog quickly squeezed out a large portion of the Forbidden Forest's native ecological niche, becoming the largest and most stable group in the Forbidden Forest besides centaurs and unicorns.

To be honest, Tiera had wanted to deal with these giant eight-eyed spiders for a long time, but firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, she was too lazy to bother with them.

But since Hagrid has come to him for help, Tiera might as well just deal with him without hesitation.

Although the Octopoda is an invasive species and is carnivorous with a high reproductive capacity, this is also a strength, especially in Aragog. In the original work, the Octopoda King demonstrated his ability to understand and apply the logic of human prophecy.

In other words, as long as Tiera can train the eight-eyed giant spider to learn magic—

Even advanced magic wouldn't be needed; a simple teleportation would suffice, instantly transforming the entire Forbidden Forest of eight-eyed spiders into war machines. For instance, if Tiera, or its successors in establishing a government, were to need to carry out genocide against certain flesh-and-blood races, Aragog's eight-eyed spider clan would undoubtedly be a sharp weapon.

Of course, as a staunch revolutionary, Tiera still hoped that the eight-eyed giant spider would never need to be used.

However, having such a sharp blade but not using it is completely different from not having such a sharp blade at all.

Although the current British Magic Federation has its own protection, as long as it doesn't encounter Outer Gods above the Great Old Ones and their retinues, Tiera is confident that it can overcome every difficulty and obstacle in achieving its goal.

But what happens after it's flattened?

But what happens when Tierra establishes a thriving government with limitless possibilities? What happens when Tierra turns everyone into a variable?

What happened after Tierra left?
In other words, is everything about this government built upon Tiera's absolute power and authority, or upon countless wizards and individuals whose roles have shifted from quantitative to variable?

No political system can remain stable forever. Even if Tiera can resolve all external factors for this nascent government, she cannot foresee all internal factors of instability, especially when all individuals become variables.

Therefore, in order for the Magical Union she had painstakingly built to continue to exist stably, Tiera needed to plan ahead—

He did everything in his power to gather all the forces that he himself did not need, but which were essential for the government.

—Aragog the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider is one of them.
