Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 434 The Wizard Emperor

William disappeared without even fighting Murphy.

Sophia took all the divine power with her through the black ship. What remained in the mortal world was merely an avatar. Although it could display some miracles, its magical power was insufficient, and even after struggling, it could not avoid being destroyed in the end.

He even generously left behind the nuclear code box, which allowed Murphy to control all of America's nuclear weapons, finally putting his last worry at ease.

What followed was quite simple: a wizard was transformed into William's likeness, and then a surrender statement was issued, ordering all American soldiers to give up resistance and await incorporation. Thus, the war of annihilation was essentially over.

From start to finish, it took no more than ten hours, and the world's former number one power succumbed to the Anglo-Soviet alliance.

Such force terrified the entire world, and everyone feared that Murphy would choose them as his next target.

Murphy, indeed, had no intention of stopping. Taking advantage of his great victory, he immediately did a few things.

First, they continued to launch more satellites, and even deployed ten megaton-yield nuclear warheads in orbit. All of these warheads were equipped with "Phantom Shifting Modules," enabling them to instantly travel from orbit to any battlefield or city on Murphy's orders.

Countries around the world are placed under a completely one-sided nuclear deterrence.

Although some small countries still stood up to oppose this time, instigated by certain countries, no one intervened militarily again.

Second, the Earth Federation was established, and secret meetings were held with various European countries. Ultimately, under absolute military deterrence, these countries agreed to join the Federation and be subject to the unified constraints and jurisdiction of the Federation's laws and government.

Third, the Wizarding League absorbed the magic ministries of various countries. Under Murphy's intimidation, European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy successively chose to join the Wizarding League.

Then Murphy integrated the Wizarding Alliance with the Earth Federation, and the existence of wizards and magic became a fact that would not be actively mentioned, but was already known to everyone.

At the same time, the Ogas Plan will be enforced throughout the Federation.

With the magical nodes of various national ministries of magic, Murphy's total magical power was greatly increased. He established thirty-six intelligent machine factories around the world, continuously producing various magical intelligent machines, and then driving them to create more intelligent machines. This exponential growth method created trillions of magical intelligent machines for him in just a few months.

Taking over the Ministries of Magic in various countries unlocked his energy restrictions, while taking over the major Muggle nations around the world provided him with endless resources and powerful production capabilities.

With the unlocked Floo portal solving the logistics problem and global resources readily available, Murphy's mechanical manufacturing base is rapidly amassing troops at a terrifying speed that even the insects of nature find astounding.

The vast amount of magically powered machines freed Murphy from the limitations of human power. As a result, he no longer needed to consider any established rules of the human world and began to carry out sweeping reforms of the global order.

He began to gradually abolish governments in various countries. The first to disappear were bureaucrats at all levels. Under Murphy's rule, the Ogas system was able to fundamentally solve organizational problems such as the communication between superiors and subordinates. Therefore, the bureaucratic class that existed to facilitate policy implementation and the release of power was completely redundant and was directly optimized.

On the contrary, grassroots enforcement departments, which deal with citizens and other non-governmental sectors all the time, face complex situations and cannot carry out mechanical management due to concerns about impact and feelings, have instead created a large number of new positions.

Following the government, various important infrastructure and livelihood sectors were nationalized, and major energy, mining, arms, communications, finance, transportation and other industry giants in the United States and Europe were forcibly acquired.

This process was certainly not smooth sailing, with various underhanded maneuvers occurring one after another. Murphy did not hold back, and after ruthlessly annihilating several super families such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, the resistance lessened considerably.

Having virtually controlled global politics and economics, Murphy has even begun to extend his control to every citizen.

After October 1998, all electronic products worldwide were manufactured by Umbrella Corporation and placed within the Orgas Project network, under Murphy's surveillance.

At the same time, he will implant the "Global Wizard Detection System," which he created based on the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission, into the magic nodes of the Ministry of Magic in various countries.

From that moment on, the birth of any wizard in the world, and the growth and changes in their magical power, were all under Murphy's watchful eye.

In November, the Earth Federation began implementing the "Physical Enhancement Vaccination Program".

As required, all citizens of the Earth Federation aged eight to sixty must receive the "Physical Enhancement Vaccine," which is said to improve the physical condition of the population and has a certain probability of awakening superpowers.

But in fact, the so-called physical enhancement vaccine is just a mind-seed virus trained by Murphy.

The claim that it can improve physical condition and awaken superpowers is not a lie. Under Murphy's control, the virus will strengthen the physical condition of all citizens, including repairing some old injuries, treating some diseases, and strengthening the immune system.

At the same time, the virus also activates magic pathways, similar to what the werewolf virus does, giving ordinary people a certain degree of magic, and helping more adaptable individuals activate specific magical abilities depending on the host's condition.

However, the virus's most important function lies in influencing and manipulating the host's mind.

All Mindseed viruses are communication-type, all connected to Murphy's mind network. Murphy constantly influences these Mindseeds to gradually alter the host's thoughts.

The virus can stimulate specific circuits in the brain, providing dopamine rewards when the host is engaged in rational thinking, and inhibiting the host's religious beliefs, causing some casual believers to gradually lose interest in believing in gods.

For some devout believers and ascetics, this slow stimulation is no longer very effective. Murphy will activate the conceptual pathway of the Seed of the Mind, replacing the concept of God in their minds and gradually shifting their faith toward Murphy himself.

Time was of the essence. Sophia sealed off the gods with the Black Ships in early 98, and her actions could only buy Murphy a maximum of one year.

In order to gain a greater advantage before the deadline, Murphy has completely torn off his gentle and friendly mask and has begun to promote the integration of global forces with an extremely ruthless and iron-fisted approach.

In fact, in order to better seize "faith" on a spiritual level, Murphy even stepped out from behind the scenes to the forefront.

On February 24, 1999, Murphy's thirtieth birthday, he abolished the original republican system of the Earth Federation, established the Human Empire, and officially crowned himself Emperor.

He is historically known as the first emperor of mankind, the wizard emperor, and the lord of mankind.

Countless people cursed Murphy in secret, and countless passionate young people took to the streets to try to stop this act of turning back the clock of history. However, the gun barrels of the Imperial Magic Machine Soldiers showed people Murphy's unwavering determination.

After the massacre of more than a dozen rebel strongholds in various places, no one came out to protest anymore.

However, even so, there was still not enough time.

The spread, activation, and impact of the Seed of the Mind virus all take time. Even though Murphy has exhausted all means, it is still beyond his ability to reverse the beliefs of humanity worldwide within a few months.

The countdown to the gods' return has begun.

This time, the blocking power will inevitably collapse completely. When faced with the gods' frenzied counterattack, he must be fully prepared.

In this world, he has done everything he can to the best of his ability. He has squeezed all resources to their limit, and there is nothing more that can be improved.

But outside of this world, there is still one thing he can do.

……

Standing before the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, Murphy closed his eyes and silently counted all the magical nodes he had conquered.

He has now established synchronization ritual circles outside hundreds of magical nodes in the Ministry of Magic. These circles will cause the magic of all magical nodes to resonate and provide Murphy with a magical item of his choosing.

It was a time capsule.

The magic of the entire magic network was enough for him to use the magic box to travel back thousands of years and return to the extremely distant past.

He must go to see the prophet Miriam and find out from her the so-called "truth of everything".

Perhaps the method used to seal the gods back then is contained within this, which would certainly increase his chances of winning.

With that thought in mind, Murphy no longer hesitated, took out the Time Box, took a deep breath, and stepped through the door.
