Chapter 225: The Origin of Witches (First Update)
...
"Panicking, panicking, he's panicking!"
Jerry watched as Voldemort, in the diary, began to desperately showcase his value upon hearing that Jerry intended to hand him over to Snape and Dumbledore. On the surface, Voldemort's expression wavered, but inside, he was overjoyed.
Indeed, no matter how intelligent a person is, they are bound to make mistakes when the information is unequal.
In terms of intelligence and understanding of human nature, Jerry knew he couldn't match the younger Voldemort. He was well aware of his limitations.
In the Main World, he had made many low-level mistakes before, but he had always managed to cover them up with magic.
Now, the reason Jerry could manipulate Voldemort so effectively was that he had almost complete information about Voldemort, while Voldemort's knowledge of him was limited to the fact that he was a second-year Slytherin wizard who was an orphan.
Voldemort never imagined that this second-year wizard had not only been playing him all along but had also tamed the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets beforehand.
"Alright, since you did teach me two very useful spells, I'll trust you for now!"
Jerry put on a reluctant face.
At this point, Voldemort's soul in the diary finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the current information, his physical body had been destroyed by a boy named Harry Potter using despicable methods, leaving only his soul to linger on.
His loyal followers were all imprisoned in Azkaban, guarded by Dementors, and the other Death Eaters had scattered like rats from a fallen tree.
If he were to be handed over to the traitor Snape or Dumbledore by this second-year Slytherin, all hope would be lost.
Fortunately, after a brief period of observation, Voldemort had formed an assessment of this boy named Jerry. He was a typical Slytherin, greedy, and yearning for power and strength. As long as he continued to tempt Jerry with powerful magic, he could maintain control for now.
However, this boy, like him, was an orphan and had a strong sense of caution. It would be difficult for Voldemort to later break through his defenses and possess his body.
He would have to find another way to achieve his resurrection.
"Alright, teach me Legilimency now!"
Seeing the right moment, Jerry directly made his request.
To regain Jerry's trust, Voldemort readily began instructing him on the art of Legilimency.
"Legilimency can be traced back to a dangerous Fantastic Beast, the Thunderbird!"
As Jerry read the explanation in the diary, he showed a hint of surprise.
"Thunderbird, is it the Thunderbird from the American Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
He had read in history books that one of the houses at Ilvermorny was named after the Thunderbird.
"Yes, that's the one. The Thunderbird has a natural ability to hypnotize and read minds, which inspired witches to create a similar form of magic, known as Legilimency!
Legilimency typically requires direct eye contact with the opponent to initiate and read their thoughts.
However, there are exceptions. Some witches are born with Legilimency abilities and can read minds without eye contact, simply by being in the same vicinity.
And some masters of Legilimency, at the peak of their skill, can not only read your immediate thoughts but also delve deeper into your memories..."
As the lines of text appeared in the diary, Jerry couldn't help but admire Voldemort's reputation as the Dark Lord. His understanding of magic was truly unparalleled.
However, as Voldemort delved deeper into the intricacies of Legilimency, Jerry's mind began to stir with some unique ideas.
The Thunderbird has the innate ability to hypnotize and read minds, and witches learned from the Thunderbird to create the magic of Legilimency. Later, some witches were born with the natural ability to use Legilimency.
This logic makes it seem as though the magical abilities of witches and wizards are derived from fantastic beasts.
Jerry has always been wondering where the concept of a sorcerer bloodline originally came from; it couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere.
He once heard a theory that the bloodline of witches and wizards actually came from a group of ancient beings similar to modern scientists. These beings conducted biological experiments, extracting the blood of fantastic beasts and injecting it into their own bodies, thus gaining the same magical abilities as the beasts.
They then drew inspiration from the various magical abilities of fantastic beasts to create a wide range of magic.
If you delve deeper, you'll find that many of the magical abilities of witches and wizards can be traced back to specific fantastic beasts.
Legilimency and the Imperius Curse are similar to the Thunderbird's innate abilities to read minds and hypnotize.
Apparition resembles an enhanced version of the Thunderbird's ability to teleport.
The Disguise Charm's invisibility is a natural ability of the Invisibility Beast.
Various flame magic can be linked to the many fantastic beasts that can breathe fire, with the most powerful being the Fire Dragons.
Perhaps, if he has the time in the Marvel world, he can dedicate some effort to biological research and obtain some witch blood for study.
After all, the Marvel world is quite advanced in biological research.
If he can determine the source, there might be a way to purify the sorcerer bloodline within him, significantly increasing his magic power.
Currently, his sorcerer bloodline has been fully developed through the Meditation Technique, and the rate of growth of his magic power has greatly slowed, relying only on the nightly Meditation Technique to gradually increase.
While the Meditation Technique, combined with Merlin's Ring and the Energizing Elixir, has already made him progress much faster than a normal mage in the world of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Jerry still feels it is too slow.
After all, there are too many powerful beings in the Marvel world. Not to mention the yet-to-be-encountered Thanos and the legendary Ancient One, even the real Odin, whom he has seen, is far beyond his ability to challenge.
If Odin were to decide to kill him, he would have no chance to resist.
Magic power is the foundation. No matter how powerful the magic, it cannot be cast without sufficient magic power. Moreover, Jerry believes that if his sorcerer bloodline were to be enhanced, it might bring unexpected benefits.
Of course, these are just his speculations, and he will need to explore them further in the future.
"Remember, Legilimency is not just a spell for stealing others' thoughts. It also serves as a powerful auxiliary tool in battles between witches and wizards.
If you can master Legilimency during a fight, you can anticipate your opponent's magic and react accordingly.
Thus, when fighting a master of Legilimency, you will feel constrained and extremely uncomfortable!"
Reading this, Jerry's eyes lit up again. He had never considered that Legilimency could be used in this way.
