Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 711 The Return
MacGuffin floated on the bright red lava lake, looking at the half-dead old giant god... thinking about all kinds of information about [Universal Train] and [Jormungandr] displayed on the new system interface.

Oh, right.

That's right, even though a big hole was opened in the head, [Joermungandr] still wasn't completely dead.

Its own magic power is still surging... condensing its own body, trying to use the power of time to go back to itself.

But the terrible magic attached to the hole in the head is still eroding, interfering with the rebirth of [Jomungard].

Of course, this also allows McGuffin to successfully transform [Jomungard] and implement the construction plan of [Universal Train].

The McGuffin once again rings the dusty bell that has been buried deep in his chest!
--clang!

The sinking bell rang, shaking the lava lake in this wasteland.

The three-color magic power emanated from the ring, turned into rainbow light and sprinkled down from the sky, completely covering the huge body of [Jomengad].

The lava surged across the skeleton, and finally wrapped it directly... and began to cast and deform the body of [Joermungandr] bit by bit.

The bright red light reflected the figure of McGuffin.

The illusory and misty snake body gradually condensed into a solid body, and then the skin and flesh separated.

The skeleton restructured into the shape of a train, entrenched on the lava lake.

The white skeleton undulates and glistens in the...bright red lava flow.

According to the requirements on the system blueprint, McGuffin began to build the most important part of the train, the energy center... which is the so-called [Furnace of the Universe].

Under the guidance of the magic power of the three rings, the magic power of [Yemengade]'s whole body, as well as the foreign magic power that interfered with his self-retrospect... gathered together, and began to condense into a ball on a certain bone from the head to the neck.

Finally, a heart-like structure is formed.

The McGuffin was roughly cast according to the heart pattern he had seen not long ago.

That thing is about the size of a vertical car, with eight chambers, connected to each other, and connected to the skeleton of the train on the outer surface... There are three main passages, and seven auxiliary passages.

Three of the main passages are connected to... the skeleton that has been transformed into a pipe, and has begun to continuously absorb the magma in the lava lake.

After seeing such a scene, McGuffin withdrew his palm and rang the [Dust Chime Bell] in his body again.

clang--

The heart, or it can also be said that the [Furnace of the World and the World] was ignited,
It throbbed and heaved violently.

Even without the magic power perception provided by [Curse of Echo Blue], McGuffin can feel that the furnace has begun to absorb the energy of the magma, transforming and gathering the terrifying magic power.

Boom-boom-boom!

As the magma rumbled in that energy furnace (mechanical bone heart), it made a terrible sound.

The countless capillary-like tubes appeared densely on this skeleton-only train, glowing with bright red light, and the red magic power could not stop flowing.

At this time, the wreckage of [Jormungandr] floated up again, and the lava flows were like waterfalls, sliding down from the unfinished train skeleton and flowing into the lava lake, splashing out streams of fire.

Suddenly, someone shouted to the MacGuffin,
"Ah... Mr. Albert!"

His tone was full of jealousy, but he tried his best to hide this emotion.

Someone is calling McGuffin.

MacGuffin Albert knows who...

It's Rufus Scrimgeour!

Harry and the others...those wizards, Muggles, centaurs, and elves...almost the entire London, and the entire Hogwarts wizards have already driven over from the deep forest and left the area covered by the World Tree.

However, most of them still stay on the [New Diagon Alley] one mile away, as well as the floating island (the new station of the Ministry of Magic),

Only a few wizards...the professors of Hogwarts, the real rulers of the Ministry of Magic...and Harry and a few others dared to approach the huge body of [Jomungard].

(Emily Albert originally wanted to follow, but obviously the place where the existence of [Jomungard] fell... Rufus would never allow a Muggle to approach, let alone the McGuffin is still here,)
They just happened to see such a 'feat' of the McGuffin.

This magical scene directly impacted the rationality in their brains.

There was a long silence, and Rufus Scrimgeour stopped him when he saw the MacGuffin doing all this.

"Mr. Albert, how did you do it... No, what exactly do you want to do!"

Rufus was very polite.

The others didn't speak. Harry and the others stared blankly at the... that huge train floating in front of McGuffin.

For a time, only...

Boom—boom—boom!

In the sky, there is only this... The huge heart is pumping, making loud noises, echoing continuously, shocking others.

McGuffin turned around and looked at the crowd.

They looked at him...as if they were a stranger, or rather...with fear in their eyes.

McGuffin knows that everything can't go back, he can never go back to Hogwarts, he can't even go back to Albert's house... He can only follow the (main mission) of the cheating system to start the so-called new generation, collect and restrain the so-called fate of the world... and always be with this [Universal Train] as a companion.

"Yes, McGuffin, what exactly do you want to do?" Seeing that McGuffin didn't answer for a long time, Professor McGonagall also asked in a low voice.

"I think... don't you want to leave this world?" McGuffin said calmly.

"Really? You can do it?" asked Mr. Weasley.

"Just pass through the maelstrom in the sky! But... you must hurry up, this world itself relies on the power of [Jörmungard] to exist... Soon, when the magic ritual left by Voldemort reverses and collapses, this place will gradually fill in the hole left by this world in its own way... It is the original Muggle city..."

"Professor Dumbledore, you should be clear?" he asked.

McGuffin finally found the little figurine from Harry's shoulder. (And Snape was sitting on Professor Flitwick's pointed wizard hat with a disgusted face.)
All eyes turned to Dumbledore.

"That's true... But now I care more about you... Albert, what did you see and what did you go through?"

Dumbledore nodded his 'little head', looking at the current appearance of McGuffin, and the horrible disaster caused by Voldemort...it reminded him of what Trelawney showed him last year: the prophecy about the devil in July 1999, those horrible scenes about the future...

Although the process is roughly different, the same scene happened: the endless wave of living corpses surged on the city streets, Muggles and wizards fought side by side...

From that moment on, the world has indeed been turned upside down as she said, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

——Never go back!
However, MacGuffin Albert will be the most critical point in the future changes in this world.

Dumbledore couldn't help thinking of Trelawney's advice.

Although he was prepared in his heart, he didn't expect that... this would happen so quickly!So unpredictable!
Originally, all the nightmares were over, everyone should feel very relaxed and should be cheering... But facing everything in front of them, facing the magic power displayed by McGuffin.There is a feeling in everyone's heart... The ending this time is just the beginning of another indescribable 'storm'.

At the same time, Dumbledore's inquiry... made McGuffin deep in thought.

'What did he see!What have you been through! '

The old bee seems to be hiding something from himself, but it doesn't matter...

From the various information displayed by the system, McGuffin already knew what Dumbledore didn't say - probably those Dark Lords, IMA... things that will happen in the future.

No matter what he is hiding, he must have been unable to bypass himself and this [Universal Train] built by himself and the system.

boom!
When McGuffin and the others fell silent, the World Tree finally couldn't hold on... It began to collapse and crack.

- Ron, - Ron, Ron!
From the countless golden leaves on the crown of the tree, turning into a falling snowstorm,
That giant golden leaf swept across the sky, fluttering...bringing a magnificent scene of golden light, and roaring loud noises...coming from afar, falling from the sky...and falling on the ground everywhere.

Boom! --boom!

Then, inside the trunk, spread...five or six huge gaps like canyons and ravines burst out, splitting the World Tree.

The huge World Tree fragments...like a mountain collapse, smashed onto the ground, causing monstrous tremors.

Boom!Boom!
Like the thunder of a god,
The earth was trembling, and the lava was once again shaking with turbulent waves.

For a while, everyone couldn't stand still, and they didn't bother to ask McGuffin any more. They turned around and looked behind, looking in the direction of the World Tree in the distance.

When the dust and smoke in the forest dispersed, people saw the broken World Tree still standing in the sky.

The rest of it, like a giant incomplete wooden pier, stands there like a bare mountain.

As for the piece of forbidden forest at its feet...it has been completely reduced to pinches of embossed 'lawn', countless fragments of World Trees of different sizes... lying here and there in golden brilliance. (Golden brilliance reflected in the golden branches and leaves)

"just……"

Watching the end of the World Tree, McGuffin muttered to himself, and he broke the silence first.

"Just what?" Harry asked, and he and Hermione didn't know how to face this friend who had completely changed in a moment.

He tried to say something to bring the distance between them closer.

"Just... build the frame of this thing..."

McGuffin pointed back at the train and replied with a smile.

Then, without waiting for everyone to react.Leaping backwards, he flew over the front of the bone train.

boom!boom!
The universe train with only one frame (the wreckage of this [Jomungard]) started to move.

The heart furnace powered by magma was ignited, and it operated like an explosion, providing the energy needed for the train to run.

The blood-colored access tubes spread out one after another, covering the whole body of the train... time after time like a thin net of blood threads... bulging and glowing.

laugh!
After a sound, the train took the McGuffin and galloped directly in the direction of the World Tree, leaving everyone behind again.

"Professor?" Harry looked at the scene where the McGuffin was going away with a complicated expression, and looked at the overhead...the roaring past, like an endless train that never ended, and asked Albus Dumbledore on his shoulder.

"Come on! Harry!" Dumbledore replied, "Albert is right about one thing... I am afraid there is no time, and we must leave this world as soon as possible."

The "little head" of the little figure looked up and skipped the endless black shadow of the train, looked at the huge vortex above the sky, and the huge black shadow of the ruins of the city in the present world, saying so.

And Rufus Scrimgeour obviously had a hard time keeping his patience.

McGuffin's previous ignorance made him very embarrassed.

Hearing Dumbledore's speech, he let out a dissatisfied cold snort in his throat, but in the end...after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't speak to Dumbledore to ask about all this, but just waved his hand coldly, and asked everyone to organize again...Let the rest of the Muggles and wizards stay here, and these wizards went to find the traces of McGuffin again.

Return to the Forbidden Forest again. (Because the magic power of the World Tree still exists in the fragments of the body, this area of ​​the Forbidden Forest...it is still difficult to use teleportation spells such as [Phantom])

……

Countless leaves of the [Golden Tree] exude a golden light... Flying from the ground in the Forbidden Forest, like sticky artwork... One by one, they stick to the skeleton of the [Universal Train].

The other small [World Tree] fragments, also under the change of the magic power of the Three Precepts, are like some kind of living body... Activated, changing and growing into different shapes (capillary, two-thin, three-edged, long leaves)

Under the influence of MacGuffin, these materials began to be independently woven on the outside of the [Universal Train] structure, and together with the golden blades formed the body of the [Universal Train].

By the time Harry, Rufus Scrimgeour, and Dumbledore rushed over again, this strange train with an infinitely extended body had already become a model. It was no longer so 'skinny and transparent', and only had a skeleton.

I saw people coming to me.

McGuffin accelerated to complete the last bit of car body decoration, and then clasped his fingers together to slowly land the train from midair.

Like a living snake, it twisted and twisted its body, and stopped in the open space between the trees in the Forbidden Forest and the debris of the World Tree... winding around.

"Okay, we can get out of here now..."

Without waiting for everyone to respond, McGuffin turned and walked into the train carriage not far away.
