Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 500 New Progress in Soul Control! Modifying and fusing the Brain in a Vat, the Power of Thou

While Grindelwald's 50,000-strong army was still being secretly prepared, Dudley's Soul Control Space had already filled its quota as planned.

Fifty thousand evil dark wizard souls, fifty thousand powerful magical creature souls.

There are over 500 Silent Ones and over 8,000 Evil Ghosts outside the quota.

All candidates are at least professor level in terms of skill, with no upper limit.

This was the accumulation of this world and this planet from ancient times to the present, which Dudley transformed into his personal servant using conceptual repair spells and other means.

Among them, the souls of magical creatures, evil spirits, and Obscurus have all been refined into Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings.

The evil dark wizards' souls have not yet been refined; they retain their sanity, suffer greatly, and generate massive amounts of negative emotions.

These negative emotions are no longer needed by Dali, but the Obscurial Kings do.

In theory, an eccentric can grow stronger indefinitely when stimulated by negative emotions.

Currently, the more than 500 Obscurus in Dudley's Soul Space, except for the Obscurus born from Ariana that was stripped of its original traits, are all at least twice the strength of a legendary wizard, and are continuously growing stronger.

This power alone is enough to overturn all the extraordinary beings in this world.

As for the most special slot in the Soul Control Space, which can retain consciousness and unify all ghost servants, Dudley did not choose from the souls of evil dark wizards.

Although Dudley captured the souls of many evil dark wizards, including some of the most notorious yet exceptionally intelligent legendary dark wizards in history, such as the despicable Helbo.

But this did not satisfy Dali.

The ghost servants formed from the soul of the dark wizard grow too slowly, far inferior to the Obscurus.

Even before being refined, Mu Mo Ran only possessed a violent instinctual consciousness, lacking intelligence.

Dudley's idea is to combine the advantages of both to create an Obscurial Soul that can have both growth potential and intelligence.

Therefore, his early plan was to modify the SS-level large-scale magical artifact taken from the Department of Mysteries - Brain in a Vat - to create a top-tier treasure in the high-end magic category of 'thought', to customize thought, wisdom and memory for an Obscurus, and then designate it as the main soul.

And... once the conceptual opening spell is available, the Obscurial can be endowed with wisdom directly by the means of opening the gate of wisdom.

The previous plan seemed redundant, but Dali did not abandon the plan to modify the brain in a vat.

Because when he first set out this plan, it wasn't just to create the ideal main soul, but also for a more important purpose.

Now that the project is complete, it's time for the fully modified multifunctional brain in the tank to be integrated.

With a thought, Dali communicated with the system and sent a fusion command.

Within his personal space, the enormous green liquid tank, which had been modified and contained numerous tentacled brains swimming back and forth, instantly transformed into invisible fluctuations and merged with Dali.

[Command received. Synthesize and consume 1 SS-rank fusion opportunity!]

[Current remaining magic item fusion opportunities: 2 S-rank, 1 A-rank.]

【Congratulations to the host! 】

[Gained the ability to control the dream realm!]

From this point on, you can consume mental energy to construct a dream realm that does not belong to reality, based on your own thoughts and ideas.

In the realm of dreams, you can adjust the flow of time and manifest anything, but purely fantastical things that you have never seen before do not have much functionality.

The dream realm you create can connect with any being whose soul power is lower than yours, allowing them to enter a lucid dream state, condense a dream avatar, and enter your dream realm for observation and experience.

The size, complexity, maximum time flow, number of connections, and coverage of the dream realm—all these parameters depend on the power of your soul.

[Gain the ability to imprint thoughts!]

From this point on, you can imprint your thoughts on any being whose soul power is weaker than yours. This imprint can be a way of thinking or a code of conduct.

Those who have been imprinted with this ideological code will forever, from the bottom of their hearts, think and regulate their behavior according to the content of that imprint.

[Gain the ability to perceive and connect with thoughts!]

From this point on, you can condense a thought tentacles that exist between the real and the virtual. In the virtual state, the thought tentacles can penetrate into the brain of a target, absorb the other party's thoughts and memories, or instill the target with your own copied thoughts or memories.

This method is rather crude; whether it involves absorption or indoctrination, it will cause confusion and damage to the target's thoughts, memories, and mental state.

In its physical form, the mental tentacles can act as barbed whips, striking, entangling, or piercing a target. Upon hitting a target, in addition to physical damage, they will also inflict a state of panic or fear.

[Gain the knowledge and skills to create and modify brains in vats!]

[The host already possesses relevant knowledge and skills, which are considered duplicate acquisitions and can be transferred to other living beings through touch.]

Feeling the extra power he had gained, Dali smiled.

Dream Realm, Thought Imprint, and Thought Tentacles—these three abilities are worthy of the opportunity to fuse with an SS-grade magical item.

With these abilities, Dudley can be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the magic of 'mind'.

More importantly, these abilities are very useful.

Especially the ability to manipulate dreams.

Dudley is currently at Hogwarts, and he's taking care of personal matters first.

To open the door of wisdom for the strongest Silent Demon King in the Soul Control Space, and to instill in him the skills and memories of spiritual combat and the unification of demon servants through the tentacles of thought.

It also opened the door to rationality for him, helping him to process the side effects of his mental confusion and tyranny.

Next, he imprinted his complete loyalty to Dali with his ideology, establishing him as the sole main soul within the Soul Control Space.

Finally, Dali created a dream realm for it, in which various hostile targets and all the ghost servants that could be mobilized in the Soul Space could be simulated.

This allows the intelligent, silent ghost king's main soul to connect with the dream realm, condense a dream avatar, and in the dream realm, treat one minute in reality as a hundred minutes, constantly conduct combat drills, and improve combat and command abilities.

This Silent Ghost King originated from Aurelius. It has been exposed to negative emotional stimuli for the longest time in the Soul Control Space, so its strength is naturally the strongest. After this transformation, it will definitely become the best main soul.

After settling his personal matters in the Soul Space, Dali began to focus on new official duties.

He expended his mental energy to construct a massive dream realm, within which he created a dream library and training grounds far more numerous and abundant than the real Hogwarts.

Once the white wizards recognized by Dudley enter the dream world, they can access this vast dream realm to study, train, improve their knowledge and experience, communicate, and conduct magical research.

Moreover, one can choose any flow rate between twice the time flow rate and a hundred times the time flow rate.

The reason for offering choices instead of rigid rules is mainly to prevent wizards from being unable to adapt and becoming out of touch with reality.

Even a hundred times the flow rate of time is not the limit for Dali, but it is enough.

In addition, Dudley will leave his avatar in the dream realm to explain the situation to the white wizards who are connected for the first time, and set up an anti-addiction mechanism, which is equivalent to an alarm clock that wakes you up on time.

The knowledge and experience gained in the dream realm are real, and everything experienced is incredibly real. Furthermore, because the recipient's physical body is in a deep sleep state, upon leaving the dream realm in the morning, they will not feel mentally exhausted, but rather refreshed.

But no matter how good it is, dreams are not reality; they should only be used as an accelerator for nighttime cultivation.

If we let the wizards be trapped in it day and night, we would be putting the cart before the horse.
