Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 341 The Fall of a Star

In the computer room corridor, there was a pool of blood and flesh on the ground.

The human named Jackson has been cut to pieces by the laser net created by Murphy in the Resident Evil analogue.

However, a small pendant still floated in the air.

A dense layer of pale blue light condensed on the outside of the pendant, forming a sphere with a diameter of only about five centimeters.

Even with a laser powerful enough to melt steel focused on the sphere, it still couldn't be destroyed.

"Truly astonishing," the female voice from the speaker said. "It's somewhat similar to a Horcrux's protective spell, but undoubtedly much more powerful. Especially after being condensed to such a small size, these lasers can easily destroy any of my Horcruxes, but they can't break through your defenses."

"Tom Riddle," a voice came from the pendant.

"I no longer use that name," Lucas said. "Say something, Our Lady. Who are you? What is your purpose? Perhaps after receiving a satisfactory answer, we will let you go."

"How did you guess I would come here?" the pendant asked.

"Ah, you're curious too? But I can answer that question for you. Professor Murphy discovered before that you could pinpoint his location, and he even suspected that you could detect his thoughts to some extent. So, to prevent his plans from being leaked to you, he had me create a backup plan."

"I'm the only one who knows about this Plan B," Lucas said.

"While we don't fully understand your motives, we can guess that you want to prevent our antenna from being built. The two key steps in building the antenna are the main body, which you entrusted to Professor Dumbledore, and the antenna's computing power unit, 'Athena.' Destroying either one would greatly delay our project."

"Professor Murphy is in charge of the antenna defenses, while I'm here to stop your other sabotage attempts."

"Originally, I had prepared many plans to deal with your possible methods. But I didn't expect that you would only use the most primitive method. You probably think that by controlling Jackson with your abilities, you can bypass the constraints of the research institute's magical contract and let him easily destroy Athena's server room."

"But you probably didn't expect that there are a lot of magic detection devices installed in the magic research institute, and your magic level is unique. Almost the instant you appeared, we locked onto your presence."

The Virgin Mary, of course, couldn't have imagined any of this, because she had no idea that such magical detection equipment existed, nor could she have imagined that such a thing as a magical shield could exist in this research institute frequented only by ordinary wizards and Muggles. She also couldn't have imagined that the other party could trap her using some kind of "magical shield."

"You can't kill me with these attacks," the pendant said.

"No, you've misunderstood. This is just a small experiment to test your various resistances."

"There are still some experiments left... Let me see, about sixty or so. Good luck."

……

Leaving the console, Lucas approached a lightning raven. "Ordinary physical methods would be insufficient to kill it. In fact, I suspect its existence is entirely magical. For now, we can only control it. To eliminate it, we may have to wait until the antenna is completed."

"Caw, before that, let's deal with the Order of the Phoenix," the crow said. "Let's try to wipe them all out. As long as they're still around, the Antennae will be in danger."

"clear."

……

"Sirius, don't get entangled with them. Reinforcements will keep coming. Destroy that thing!" Moody slammed his cane down, sending an Auror flying several meters away. "Aurors are getting more and more useless these days, but it's a good thing for us. I'll hold them off, you go blow it up."

Sirius glanced at the massive building behind the Aurors.

It was built on a rock that had been magically leveled. On a concrete base several meters high, a huge metal structure stood, which looked like a giant pot. However, the pot was only a skeleton at the moment, with only a few pieces of silver-white metal that made up the pot's surface attached.

This thing is too big, how can I destroy it?

"Use this," Kingsley said, slipping out from the side and pulling a cloth bag from his pocket, handing it to Sirius. Sirius reached inside and pulled out a jar. "What's this?"

"Dumbledore gave it to me. It contains a spell, a powerful Fiendfyre spell. I don't know how he made the spell like this. Just throw it down at that antenna, but you'd better get far away before it breaks. There are two of them, and you only have two chances."

In the past, James would do similar jobs because he was the most skilled flyer and always took on the most dangerous raids. Once he was on his broomstick, no one could catch him.

But now, only Sirius Black has the job to do it.

Unfortunately, the Flying Motorcycle didn't make it over.

But it doesn't matter, he's pretty good at flying broomsticks too.

Sirius Black took off immediately after receiving a flying broom from an Auror. He darted left and right in the air to avoid the snipers in the distance. During the battle on the ground, they and the Aurors teleported back and forth, and the snipers probably didn't fire much for fear of accidentally hitting friendly forces. But now that he was flying in the sky, he naturally became the best target, and the enemy would definitely shoot.

Sure enough, a gunshot rang out, but since the bullet hit in mid-air before the sound, he had no idea where it hit. Anyway, he didn't feel any pain and wasn't shot. However, he still teleported in mid-air, pulling himself up to a very high altitude and getting out of the enemy's sight.

Then he teleported again, appearing in the air to one side of the antenna. Immediately, someone on the ground raised their wand at him. Sirius teleported again, appearing in the air behind the antenna.

After these few teleportations, he was confident that he had shaken off everyone's sight. Then he pressed down on his body and swooped down.

The hundred-meter distance was covered in an instant. He took out two Fiery Jars from the bag and threw them out with a Throwing Charm.

"Shock absorption..." Someone below had sharp eyes and saw his movement, preparing to chant a spell to stop the jar. Sirius Black cast a petrification spell directly on his forehead while flying.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two fiery jars, one smashed into the center of the antenna dish and the other into its base, exploded instantly. Unparalleled flames shot into the sky, and the wind pressure from the explosion almost made him lose his grip on his broom. However, he still teleported to the Phoenix Order's side in an instant, was pushed forward a few steps by inertia, and was then grabbed and hugged.

"Well done, Sirius!"

It was Lupin. He glanced at the antenna behind Sirius, which had transformed into a giant torch, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Mission accomplished. Well done!"

"We'd better get out of here quickly..." Sirius laughed excitedly, "James would definitely be amazed if he saw what I just did."

However, at that moment, a green beam of light shot down from the sky and struck Sirius directly in the back.

Sirius paused for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly before collapsing weakly backward.

"Sirius! Sirius!" Lu Ping hugged Sirius's body. When he looked up, he saw a short brown-haired girl floating in mid-air, surrounded by a wisp of black mist.

Then he saw the girl point her wand at the ground, "Spatial Anchor!"
