Spellcasting Gods

The sapphire eyes, which had been hidden for a long time, and the long hair that flowed like water were finally revealed.

Feeling the changes in her body, she quickly opened her eyes again, and said with a wry smile, "You really think this is beautiful, instead of treating me like a monster?"

"Hahaha! Darling, you're too fixated on your appearance, too fixated on your human identity. Think about it carefully, are these things really important? No, they're not important at all. What's important is how you see yourself..."

With unrestrained laughter, Zhang Cheng lowered his head and kissed the girl's slightly strange blue lips, only separating after a long while.

"Good heavens! You're such a weirdo!" Hermione licked her lips, trying to suppress her wildly beating heart.

She couldn't believe that the other person could actually accept her appearance and even gave her a sweet kiss.

“Strange? I’ll take that as a compliment.” Zhang Cheng shook his head nonchalantly. “You know what? Geniuses are always exceptional because ordinary, foolish people simply can’t comprehend the advanced thoughts and knowledge in their minds. Come on, since you’re ready, let me show you what the laboratory is really like.”

“Of course, that’s exactly what I want. I’m ready to give everything to prove my loyalty.” Hermione raised her chin slightly, looking at Zhang Cheng with utter composure.

“Ah, I’ve noticed that. You know, girls don’t dress this sexy on dates unless they’re planning to get closer to each other. Honey, tell me, are you staying over tonight?” Zhang Cheng smiled knowingly.

Hermione's face instantly turned bright red, and she rolled her eyes with a captivating charm: "Don't you already know? Why are you asking?"

"No, I just want to hear it come out of your mouth..."

After saying that, Zhang Cheng winked playfully, revealing a triumphant expression.

Because he understood that after tonight, Hermione Granger would be completely under his control, with no possibility of betrayal left.

Nothing is easier to control than young men and women who have fallen into the trap of love. In just a few weeks, the girl in front of you will be brainwashed into a different person without you even realizing it, a veritable "love slave".

Chapter 0780 Lies

Although the sealed room is completely enclosed and never sees a ray of sunlight all year round, Hermione's biological clock still wakes her up promptly around seven o'clock in the morning, even though she likes to stay in bed a little longer.

Bare-chested, she first instinctively opened her eyes and glanced at the empty bed, then looked down at the black bodysuit torn to shreds on the floor, and the large hickeys on her chest that proved the intensity of last night's "battle." A faint blush quickly appeared on her face.

But before she could even savor the thrilling and intoxicating invasion and conquest, the house-elf Dobby suddenly burst through the door, bowing respectfully and saying, "Good morning, Miss Granger. You're finally awake. I've prepared your bathwater. Would you like to get up and take a bath now?"

"Of course! By the way, where's Zhang? Where did he go?" Hermione's tone was tinged with shyness.

“The master is conducting some important experiments in the laboratory. In addition, he has instructed that from today onwards, you have full access to the laboratory and can come and go freely at any time,” Dobby replied, raising his head and staring with two cold, crazed eyes.

Clearly, he was extremely jealous of the young and beautiful girl in front of him, who was able to gain the approval and favor of the great and evil master simply by offering her body.

You should know that the previous modification severely damaged his brain nerves, so now he is full of thoughts about becoming his master's "number one loyal dog" and no one can take away his rightful place.

Hermione clearly sensed the house-elf's hostility towards her, but she didn't seem to care too much. She simply smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you. Please bring me my bathwater to my room."

"As you wish..."

Dobby, as always, demonstrated perfect obedience as a house-elf. No matter how jealous or dissatisfied he felt, he would do his master's orders perfectly without making the slightest mistake.

In the blink of an eye, a large tub of steaming hot bathwater appeared out of thin air beside the bed.

The girl took off her black stockings, which were already riddled with holes, and slowly immersed her whole body in slightly hot water on tiptoe, opening her mouth to let out a moan of extreme pleasure.

Nothing feels better than taking a hot bath, especially after a vigorous sexual encounter not long ago.

Half an hour later, when she appeared in the lab wearing a light nightgown after showering, Zhang Cheng had already completed a comprehensive test of the clone's blood sample. He was stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "Interesting! This guy actually has twenty-five pairs of chromosomes! Besides the twenty-two pairs of autosomal chromosomes that normal humans have, plus one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, there are two mysterious pairs of chromosomes. One pair is related to magic, while the other pair is still changing and hasn't stabilized yet..."

"This is... Headmaster Dumbledore?!"

Upon noticing the clone lying in the sealed jar, Hermione couldn't help but gasp in surprise, realizing that everything that had happened recently was the work of this mysterious young man.

“Dumbledore? No, no, no, he’s just a clone created from Dumbledore’s hair, dander, and blood—a very interesting research subject.” Zhang Cheng turned around and observed the girl’s reaction meaningfully.

"Why do this? Just to kick him out of Hogwarts?" Hermione didn't show any disgust or other negative emotions, only a curious expression.

Zhang Cheng shook his head noncommittally, stepped to the huge glass container, pointed to the clone lying inside, and asked, "As a girl who grew up among ordinary people, I'm sure you've heard of the terms 'genes' and 'cloning,' right?"

“Yes, I’ve heard of it.” Hermione nodded slightly.

In fact, as early as 1938, German scientists first proposed the concept of cloning mammals.

In 1963, biochemist and population geneticist Haldane used the specific term "cloning" to describe the concept of human "asexual reproduction" in his lecture "The Biological Possibilities of the Human Race in the Next 20,000 Years".

Subsequently, countless science fiction novels and films frequently featured cloned humans as a completely new human race, so even for ordinary people, cloning is not a completely unfamiliar term.

However, until the birth of Dolly the cloned sheep in 1996, people did not realize how close human cloning technology was to being fully realized.

Of course, since the Earth where Harry Potter is currently located is still in 1994, the world-shaking cloned sheep is still under intensive research.

"So do you know the significance of gene and cloning technology to the magical world?" Zhang Cheng asked again with a half-smile.

"I don't know." Hermione hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave a negative answer.

In her mind, mainstream media and public opinion strongly oppose human cloning, especially given the ethical and moral issues involved, which make it unacceptable to the entire Western society.

After all, under the repeated indoctrination of Christianity for more than two thousand years, most foolish Westerners stubbornly believe that the creation of man should belong to God's authority, a forbidden zone that humanity should never touch, and that crossing the line would inevitably lead to unimaginable disasters.

Undoubtedly, this answer was no surprise to Zhang Cheng.

He paused for a moment, then explained in a passionate voice, “As you probably know, the biggest conflict in the magical world right now is the discrimination against commoner wizards like you, who were originally ordinary people but suddenly awakened magical talent. Some radicals even use derogatory terms like ‘Mudblood’ to refer to you. These families, who have been wizards for generations, have a strange sense of superiority, believing that their bloodline is inherently noble and that magical power flows in their veins. But if a method were invented that allows ordinary people to become wizards, passing down their skills through generations like the pure-blood nobles, how long would their sense of superiority last? Or rather, how long would the pure-blood noble class, which still exists today, continue?”

"I understand! You want to completely resolve the conflict through genetic and cloning technology!" Hermione's eyes shone with fanaticism and adoration.

Clearly, this plan sounds more feasible than Dumbledore's advocacy of supporting the commoners and suppressing the pure-blood nobles who make up half of the wizarding world, and if successful, it could definitely resolve the conflict at its root.

But she was unaware that, given the selfish and greedy nature of humanity, even if the boundary between pure-blooded nobles and commoners were to completely disappear, a new ruling class and new conflicts would emerge.

“That’s right! Although this process may be a little painful, and there may even be a few sacrifices, I need your help for the sake of lasting peace in the magical world.”

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng pulled the girl into his arms and gazed into her beautiful big eyes.

"It is my honor! For you and your great ideals, I am willing to dedicate everything, even my life..."

Chapter 0781 Fall

Without a doubt, under the triple psychological assault of love, desire, and lofty ideals, Hermione Granger, who was originally as pure as a white lotus, was completely smitten in just a few days.

She didn't even realize that, without her noticing, her subjective consciousness and moral standards had undergone a complete transformation. She could watch helplessly as a person was strapped to an experimental table, constantly emitting agonizing screams, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt.

Furthermore, there is a misconception that this is a small sacrifice for the realization of a great ideal, and is entirely worthwhile.

The girl had no idea that from the moment she conducted her first live experiment, she had embarked on a path of no return.

Furthermore, Zhang Cheng constantly used his skillful techniques to guide her subconscious desires, causing her to become completely immersed in unrestrained physical pleasure outside of experiments, leaving her with little time to reflect on her actions.

By the last day before the Christmas ball, Hermione Granger exuded a dark aura. Her eyes no longer held any innocence or kindness, but instead were filled with indifference and an almost morbidly twisted love, worship, and obedience for the men around her. She was like a blooming black rose, both beautiful and deadly alluring, and incredibly dangerous.

"My goodness! You've changed so much in just a few days!" Harry Potter exclaimed upon seeing his now completely unfamiliar old friend.

Just over a year ago, the three of them were a group of reckless kids who knew nothing, but in just over a year, they have all embarked on completely different life journeys.

Ron, who has always given people a foolish impression, has now become a rising star in the school. He even won the dueling tournament with his terrifying partial limb deformation, and even he and Draco Malfoy were no match for him.

After all, magic resistance is a very challenging thing for underage wizards whose bodies and potential have not yet been fully developed. Magic spells with insufficient power cannot even penetrate the skin covering the body, let alone damage the muscle tissue and internal organs beneath the skin.

“Of course! You should know best what kind of person he is and what enormous changes he will bring to the entire wizarding world.” Hermione raised her chin slightly, revealing undisguised pride and self-satisfaction.

Harry wasn't a fool. Having already been intimate with Cho Chang, he understood what had happened between the girl and his teacher. He nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, the teacher is great. He's younger, stronger, and more patient than Dumbledore. But are you sure you want to stay by his side this way? As far as I know, he's not the kind of person who's completely devoted."

“Why not? I love him, and I can contribute to that great ideal. Whether he will be devoted to me in matters of the heart is not important; what matters is that no one can ever take my place,” Hermione replied confidently.

Her confidence stemmed from the fact that, apart from herself, the only other person in the entire laboratory was Dobby, a house-elf.

On the surface, her role is indeed irreplaceable, and this close relationship will continue at least until a second young and beautiful female assistant appears.

But the girl didn't know that once Zhang Cheng got what he wanted, he would immediately launch a plan to destroy the world, causing a thermonuclear war to sweep across the seven continents and four oceans, and she would be ruthlessly abandoned.

Whether it's promising to establish a world ruled by wizards or eliminating the conflict between pure-blood nobles and commoners, it's all deception and lies.

In fact, Zhang Cheng didn't care about the life or death of this world at all. He only wanted to figure out the true nature of the power of creation and the rules of death, and incidentally collect enough soul fragments.

After achieving these two goals, he will not hesitate to leave, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves.

"Okay, I wish you all the best."

From the girl's determined gaze, Harry knew that no amount of persuasion would work, so he raised his glass and offered his blessings.

"Thank you!"

Hermione also raised her glass and took a small sip of her drink, glancing at Zhang Cheng, who was chatting and laughing with the school board members not far away. She muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "No one can take you away from me! You are mine, and belong only to me..."

The girl was completely unaware that while she was focusing all her attention on her lover, two young men were staring at her with burning eyes.

One of them was none other than Viktor Krum, the genius Seeker who represented Durmstrang Academy of Magic in the Triwizard Tournament.

The other is Ron Weasley, whose expression is distorted and whose heart is consumed by intense jealousy and resentment.

Poor Ron knew just how terrifying Zhang Cheng was, despite his seemingly harmless appearance, so he didn't dare to make any provocative moves or try to provoke him.

But Viktor Krum was unaware of this. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up his courage and walked over, asking in a slightly nervous tone, "Hello, beautiful lady, would you be so kind as to invite me to be your dance partner at the Christmas ball?"

“Sorry, I already have a dance partner,” Hermione said bluntly, not even bothering to glance at the other person.

"Who is he?" Krum was clearly a little angry and began to survey his surroundings with a threatening gaze.

Before Hermione could reveal the answer, Ron, who could no longer contain his anger and jealousy, rushed out, grabbed him by the neck, lifted him high, and sneered, "Idiot! Who do you think you are? Just a Quidditch player with a little bit of fame! What right do you have to spout nonsense here! Get out! Get out of my sight right now! Otherwise, in the next competition, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Ron threw the burly young man away violently, sending him crashing into the wall behind him with a thud.

Due to the immense force of the throw, Krum's head made direct contact with the hard marble. The severe concussion caused him to faint before he could even react.

Sold out instantly!

As the strongest student at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the fact that he couldn't even defeat a fourth-year student from Hogwarts undoubtedly shocked everyone in the common room who witnessed this scene, leaving them stunned in place.

But just a minute or two later, Igor Karkaroff suddenly stood up, raised his wand, and roared, "You damned bastard! How dare you! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Before he could even take any action, Zhang Cheng, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and threatened with a half-smile: "Mr. Karkaroff, it seems a bit inappropriate for you, the headmaster, to intervene in a fight between students. If you insist on attacking Hogwarts students, I will not stand idly by. Think it over carefully; do you intend to make Durmstrang lose face?"

Chapter 0782 Public Humiliation

"Are you threatening me?" Igor Karkarov squinted and questioned him in an extremely unfriendly manner.

As a former Death Eater, he had a rather bad temper, and he never understood what had happened at Hogwarts, or why Dumbledore had suddenly become a wanted criminal by the British Ministry of Magic.

“A threat? No! No! No!” Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile. “This is not a threat, just a friendly reminder. I don’t want Durmstrang students to see in public that their principal is an idiot and a moron.”

"Arrogant! You think you can beat me in a duel?" Karkaroff clearly sensed the undisguised contempt in his tone and finally couldn't hold back his raging fury.

Keep in mind that this is the common lounge, surrounded by students and teachers from the three major magic schools in Europe. If he shows even the slightest weakness, he will immediately become a laughing stock in the magic world, or even be called Durmstrang's most disgraceful principal.
