Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 421 Hell on Earth

From the moment Odin threw Gungnir until it suddenly disappeared, only a moment passed.

Odin was astonished. Gungnir was not truly invincible, but based on his past experience, as long as the opponent's magic power was less than his own, Gungnir's sure-hit effect would be achieved.

The other party is just a wizard, how could he have magic power comparable to that of the gods?

But before he could figure it out, Murphy's attack came, with several more beams of light shining down. His strongest attack method was gone, and he was unable to do anything to the satellites for a while, so he had to transform into lightning to dodge.

While directing the attack on Odin, Murphy was also somewhat apprehensive. The figure that had just appeared seemed to be himself.

The thick fog surrounding him was similar to the fog he had seen in the spirit world before.

Is this yet another time loop?

Manipulating time is no easy task. "Time reversal" consumes an enormous amount of magic power. Take the Time Box in his hand before, for example. Reversing his own time and sending him back ten hours was the limit.

Although time magic consumes the magic power of the entire magic network node through the time converter, rather than the wizard's magic power, repeatedly rewinding within the same time period is equivalent to constantly increasing the load on the magic network. Once the load exceeds the limit, it is not impossible to paralyze the magic network.

Therefore, he would not use time travel to solve problems unless absolutely necessary, but today he knows that he will perform time travel at least three times, which means that the future situation may be very bad.

However, there was another point that concerned him.

When repairing the broken time converter, the power he used seemed to be more than just "repair," but rather close to a time reversal, which is why it consumed a huge amount of magic power.

This may be due to the special nature of the time converter itself. They still don't understand its principle, but they roughly understand that it is a magical device that is connected to the entire magic network. Perhaps it is because of its own 'time' attribute that the repair of it also has to involve time.

But if it requires time rewind to repair, does that mean I also just mastered the power of time?

However, Murphy tried using time pause and time acceleration, but neither worked. He could only shake his head, realizing he had been overthinking things.

As he pondered, he directed the satellites to attack Odin. However, Odin, like him, possessed the power of lightning and moved at incredible speed. Even though he could simultaneously control four or five satellites to launch an attack, he could not completely restrain his opponent.

In fact, there are too few satellites launched into space. If tens of thousands of Starlink satellites were deployed in the sky, it would be like a net that could trap Odin no matter where he tried to escape.

While Murphy was looking for an opportunity, he also began to clear out the monsters around Stonehenge. However, after the Fiendfire had burned a few times, in a forest, the flesh and blood of countless wild beasts exploded and eventually reshaped into a giant wearing a bear skin and wielding a giant club.

As soon as he appeared, he threw a huge crucible into the air, which was able to block the scorching flames.

Murphy quickly compared the image with the database and found that the other party seemed to be Dagda, the father of the gods in Celtic mythology.

The appearance of the giants halted Murphy's attack. Even more terrifying, the blood mist began to spread again. The infected animals and insects no longer rushed towards Stonehenge as they had at the beginning. Instead, they scattered in all directions, attacking all the creatures they encountered and infecting them to become their own kind.

They seem to be aiming to expand their population before carrying out sacrifices.

……

Meanwhile, on the western coast of the Atlantic, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The once calm and sunny coastline was suddenly filled with storms. In no time, a low-pressure air mass formed over the sea and grew into a Category 12 or 13 hurricane in just over ten minutes.

The gale whipped up the tide, pushing the seawater into towering waves several meters high, one after another, crashing toward the shore.

Such a terrifying tsunami directly submerged many low-lying urban areas. When the tide receded, humans were horrified to discover that various enormous monsters began to crawl out of the silt—octopuses that were more than a person tall and could walk on the ground with their tentacles, crabs with human faces on their bellies and the size of cars, and even swordfish with human legs.

As soon as they appeared, they began a massacre of the entire city.

A crab's giant claws can slice an adult in half at the waist in one swift motion; an octopus's tentacles can twist a person into a pretzel; and then there are those shrimp that jump onto a person's head, chew up their entire skull, and swallow it whole...

This scene, reminiscent of a horror comic book, has come to life. Ordinary people would be terrified at the sight and would not be able to muster any will to resist. In an instant, this world-class tourist city, the pearl of Brazil, has become a living hell.

……

Murphy and Lucas also immediately noticed the situation in Rio via satellite. They realized that this was a contingency plan left behind when Tyr descended, but they never expected it to develop to such a scale.

Rio is far away in Brazil and is not within Murphy's sphere of influence at all, so it cannot provide the same magical barrier as London.

Meanwhile, Rio de Janeiro, as the former capital of Brazil, has a population of over five million. Faced with such a disaster, Murphy could not simply throw bombs or use fire to clear the area.

Clearly, this was a premeditated attack.

"Send out the countermeasures bureau!" Murphy immediately ordered Lucas, "Make contact with the wizards in Brazil right away and provide support!"

Those sea monsters killing people is not without reason; they are very likely performing a blood sacrifice, and we must stop them.

Murphy glanced around London and frowned; the battle here could not be delayed any longer.

An order was issued through the command system to several combat units. After repeated confirmation from higher command, several bombers took off from RAF Blaise Norton and arrived at the target airspace shortly afterward, launching a carpet bombing of the area around Stonehenge.

At the same time, Murphy stopped launching ray attacks via the magic satellite. Although the intensity of the rays was sufficient, the range was too small, and Odin's speed was too fast for the satellite to adjust its angle.

To take him down, you must use area-of-effect attacks.

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and manipulated several satellites to reach the designated location through Phantom Transformation. They then formed an antenna array, making its spell range cover an area of ​​thirty kilometers below.

He then raised his perspective, drawing a large amount of mental energy from his mental network to enhance the spell's power, and then chanted the incantation, "Petrify them all!"

A massive wave descended like a mountain, and everything in its path seemed to turn to stone. Birds in the air plummeted downwards, and even Odin froze, unable to transform into lightning to escape.

However, just a moment later, everything returned to normal.

The magical power on the magic satellite was simply insufficient to petrify things within such a vast area. Therefore, Murphy merely exhausted the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone, emitting a solitary pulse.

Its fluctuations are extremely large and of a very high level, but they only last for a single moment.

However, this one moment is enough.

Murphy appeared behind Odin the instant the Lone Wave passed by, and with a flick of his hand, sent it into a huge glass box in an underground laboratory.
