HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

Draw the analytical pattern of 'decomposition' and 'recombination' to form a formation.

Teach reassembled some temporarily useless equipment from the secret laboratory into a giant ten-meter-tall cutting machine, and engraved enchantment arrays on the blades to enhance their sharpness and hardness.

With Hermione's levitation charm and Teach's own efforts in moving the equipment, the 40-meter-long basilisk test platform was finally completed after a long and arduous process.

While the young wizards at Hogwarts were asleep, Teach began his dissection and exploration of the basilisk, while Hermione followed behind, watching, learning, recording research data, and classifying and storing the dissected basilisk body.

The flesh and blood of the basilisk are highly poisonous. Taking this into account, Teach Carl specially refined the research protective suit into an array to enhance its resistance and isolation.

With everything prepared, the dissection began at the basilisk's tail.

A giant cutting machine was used to cut off the ten-meter-long snake tail, and then Teach used a magic knife to cut it into pieces.

Under the microscope, not a single detail was overlooked: snake scales, snake skin, snake meat, snake blood, and even the bacteria present in the flesh and blood of the snake monster.

After five hours, the snake's tail was dissected and sliced. Teach, after ensuring that Hermione had not stored the meat and bones improperly, began to remove the snake's internal organs from its belly.

The snake's belly was cut open, and its intestines spilled out onto the ground. Hermione, seeing this disgusting scene, suppressed her urge to vomit and continued recording data.

These sticky substances are the basilisk's bodily fluids and gastric juices; the corrosive and melting properties of this liquid are ten times more terrifying than snake venom.

A deep crater was melted into the floor of the test bench, and the melting stopped after five minutes.

Seeing this, Teach hurriedly instructed Hermione, "Hermione, find a large container. Teacher needs to collect this basilisk liquid; it's something comparable to a biological weapon."

"Through research, we can develop powerful weapons with multiple applications."

The container was repeatedly crafted using magic, and Hermione used her levitation technique to immerse it in the container, to be kept for future magical research.

Teach then pulled out all of the basilisk's intestines. Because they were so long, he had to cut them in sections. But when he was halfway through cutting them, something unexpected happened.

From within the basilisk's intestines, a magical parasite emerged and launched a tearing attack on Teach, its tiny teeth filling the monster's mouth.

Teach was careless; he didn't realize that the basilisk would have parasitic worms inside its body, just like any other animal.

It wasn't there when I dissected the Bird of Prey and the Giant.

The parasitic worm swiftly bit down on Teach Carl's entire shoulder, but fortunately, the research protective suit had been refined into an array, making it highly defensive and preventing the worm from tearing through with its razor-sharp bites.

Teach quickly recovered from the surprise, swiftly severing the worm that had bitten him, then tearing off its still-erect head and stomping it to death.

The worm was severed and crushed, and the milky white, dirty liquid that flowed out finally pushed Hermione's mental endurance to its limit.

Hermione threw up, bringing up everything she had ever eaten in her life.

Seeing this, Teach drew a sobering training circle on Hermione's back, and then let Hermione, who was feeling a little better, step back to rest.

To be honest, he felt a bit nauseous and vomited at the sight of such a mountain of internal organs.

But there was no other way; the dissection had to be carried out for the sake of magic research.

Fortunately, no more parasitic worms appeared in the intestines during the subsequent decomposition. If even one had appeared, Teach probably would have vomited it up too.

It took 8 hours...

Teach removed and dissected the organs from the basilisk's abdomen, and specially stored the heart, an exceptionally vital organ, under a training array.

After finishing with the snake's belly, Teach rested for a while next to Hermione.

After taking a few sips of the juice that his disciple Hermione thoughtfully handed him, he continued working.

The basilisk's upper body is very important and dangerous because its venom sacs are inside. If it is damaged carelessly, a large amount of venom will gush out, which will endanger the lives of Teach and Hermione.

Unlike ordinary venomous snakes, the basilisk's venom sac is not located in the head where the fangs are, but in the chest cavity.

Similar to the dragon storing its fiery breath, the basilisk stores venom in its chest cavity for launching venomous breath. This is what Teach Carl discovered when Tom Riddle was controlling the basilisk to spray venom.

Hermione, stand a little further back.

With utmost care and caution, Teach, covered in sweat, finally managed to safely remove the basilisk's venom sac after three hours.

The dissection of the basilisk's head was relatively easier.

First and foremost, the basilisk's eyes. Teach put on the Mystic Eyes to prevent the basilisk from still having residual power.

First, saw off the snake's head, then carefully remove the two basketball-sized golden snake eyes, along with the nerves and blood vessels connected to them.

Then came the fangs, which were pulled out one by one with giant pliers, along with the venom ducts.

Finally, there's the basilisk's brain.

With Hermione's help, Teach Carl spent a total of 27 hours dissecting the entire 40-meter-long basilisk.

It can be said that Teach did not stop for a whole day and night, and the energy and physical strength consumed in this process was considerable. Deeply exhausted, Teach took off his protective suit, leaned against a sofa in the sealed laboratory, and slowly fell asleep.

Seeing this, Hermione put down her work and, moved, pulled Teach into her arms, then placed her on her lap as a pillow, wanting her teacher to sleep soundly while smelling her scent.

Hermione gazed quietly at Teach's sleeping profile, unconsciously falling into a daze. Suddenly, however, Hermione frowned, hurriedly untying the ribbon from Teach Carr's long, reddish-brown hair. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was...

~Pale white hair.

......

Meanwhile, 27 hours later at Hogwarts, it was the night of the second day.

Harry Potter is in a deep sleep, unaware that something unusual is happening in his mind.

In the mental imagery deep within Harry's subconscious, Tom Riddle awakens in the darkness and observes the outside world through Harry's left eye.

Then Tom burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahaha~ I'm not dead! I, Tom Riddle, am actually alive!"

It turns out that after Teach Carr shot Tom with a sniper rifle, Tom's Horcrux soul lost its anchor and, attracted by the scar on Harry Potter's forehead (which was also a Horcrux), entered Harry's brain and took a place there.

As Tom Riddle awakens and survives within Harry's mind, Voldemort's soul within Harry's Horcrux scar is also awakened by the stimulation of its own kind.

No, it should be said that the Horcrux Voldemort has always been awake, but he has fallen into a deep sleep to preserve his soul power.

It wasn't until Teach Carr's public lecture that the magic array was completed, causing the Horcrux Voldemort to awaken on his own and expend energy to study it.

That night, the transmutation circle that Harry Potter unconsciously drew in his notebook as if in a dream was the Horcrux controlled by Voldemort.

Like Tom Riddle, he also realized the potential of a transmutation circle for newborns, so he manipulated Harry to draw a transmutation circle and create a snake imbued with his dark magic.

The plan was to have a snake bite Harry Potter and inject him with dark magic, thus achieving complete control.

Then, Voldemort, the Horcrux, will use Harry's identity and body to learn magic and acquire it to create a physical form.

But unexpectedly, it was caught by the snake's natural enemy... a magical owl and flew away.

This caused Voldemort's attempt to create the Black Serpent array, which he had drawn using a great deal of his soul power, to fail, forcing him to fall into a deep sleep.

But now, with the addition of Tom Riddle's soul, like attracts like, and since they were originally one, Voldemort's soul power was slightly replenished.

He is now contemplating how to devour Tom's powerful soul.

Tom was also considering this after discovering the Horcrux Voldemort.

Because they are secondary souls split from the same main soul, they can strengthen their own soul power by devouring each other.
