Chapter 69 If I absolutely have to have a guardian deity, I choose myself!
The words that were whispered in his mind instantly stirred up a storm of divine magic around Charles.
The Guardian Charm, an ancient and powerful sacred magic that most wizards in the magical world cannot master even in their entire lives, is now taking root and bearing abundant fruit in Sharl's mind at an astonishing speed.
In a short time, the existing version of the Guardian Charm in the magical world had become Ciel's instinct.
With a wave of his mithril wand, Ciel chanted the incantation of the Guardian Charm.
"Protect the Gods."
At this moment, Charles was thinking about the happy times he had spent in R'lyeh.
The green sun, the black ocean, and the sandy beach made him incredibly happy.
As expected, the guardian spell, which requires kindness and joyful emotions, was successfully cast by Ciel.
A silver-white beast erupted from the tip of Ciel's wand.
Upon seeing the strange beast, Charles frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.
"What is this thing?"
This strange beast had the body of a goat, the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, and human claws. At first glance, it didn't look like a benevolent creature at all, and its style was completely different from the guardian deities that Ciel had seen in the original work.
If he had to put it into words, Charles felt that it resembled the legendary Taotie from his past life, symbolizing an insatiable appetite.
"According to the records of the magical world, the Patronus Charm reflects the concrete image of the caster's mind."
"For example, Snape's Patronus is a stag, just like Lily's, which represents his unwavering love for Lily."
"Dumbledore's Patronus is the phoenix, symbolizing nobility and life, as well as Dumbledore's determination to fight evil."
"But my guardian deity is Taotie? What does that mean? Does it mean I'm very gluttonous?"
Charles's brow furrowed even more deeply.
"Slander, this is pure and simple slander!"
"I just eat a little more than others. I'm still a child, still growing. Isn't it normal to eat more? How does that have to do with gluttony?"
However, after a moment, Charles's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
The simulation is still ongoing; let's wait and see, there might be further changes.
Meanwhile, within the Deep Blue system, the deduction of the Guardian Spell continues at an alarming rate.
Every minute and every second is equivalent to the lifetime of effort of countless exceptionally talented wizards.
What followed was an almost miraculous boost to the ancient spell of the Guardian Angel.
The first is the significant relaxation of the spellcasting conditions.
Sharl had been quite critical of the casting conditions for the Guardian Spell since his previous life.
Generally speaking, when you need to cast the Patronus Charm, you've encountered dark creatures like Dementors. These creatures can often affect a person's emotions, causing them to feel negative or pessimistic.
Already influenced by the enemy, the only effective way to counter the enemy's curse is to maintain an optimistic and positive mindset.
That's far too harsh.
In the original books, even though Harry Potter had practiced using the Patronus, he still had difficulty successfully releasing it in his first few battles against Dementors.
Even by the seventh year of the original story, Harry Potter had grown a lot.
However, when facing a large group of Dementors, it is very difficult to successfully cast a spell without the help of companions.
Although he could understand that the magic in this world was rather idealistic and required a high level of mental fortitude, the uncontrollable conditions for casting spells were something that Sharl could not accept at all.
What if he takes a potion that keeps his mind cold and clear in order to enhance his combat ability, greatly reducing his emotional fluctuations, or his consciousness begins to dissipate after being injured? Would he then be unable to use this spell?
Therefore, the first miracle born from the Guardian Charm was the erasure of the desire for a positive, happy, and fulfilling mental state.
Although this comes at the cost of increased magical power requirements for the caster, in Sharl's view, spellcasting stability is paramount, and such a price is entirely worthwhile.
Next, there's another aspect of the Guardian Spell that Sharl criticized.
This thing is purely for self-protection and to drive away dark creatures.
Even if the power of the guardian deity far surpasses that of ordinary dark creatures and lone Dementors, it can only drive them away, not destroy them.
In the original story, during the third year of Hogwarts Quidditch tournament, a large number of Dementors appeared on the sidelines, causing great panic.
Enraged, Dumbledore summoned his Patronus, a magnificent phoenix, but even Dumbledore's Patronus could only drive away the Dementors.
In Charles's opinion, this was still too gentle.
Do you understand the importance of eradicating evil completely?
I wonder who first developed the Guardian Charm; they're so outdated.
Know that killing is for the sake of protecting the Way; cutting off karma is not about killing people; eliminating darkness is the best form of protection!
Therefore, under Deep Blue's deduction, the Guardian Spell underwent a second change, no longer merely expelling dark creatures, but eliminating them!
The Taotie guardian spirit summoned by Xia Er now had a cold, fierce light flashing in its silver-white eyes, revealing its ferocity.
If any dark creature were to appear before them, the Gluttonous Guardian would likely devour it alive!
After looking at the appearance of the Taotie guardian deity, Xia Er found it much more pleasing to the eye.
"But that's not enough."
"How can such weak and holy magic possibly extinguish the darkness?"
"And this size? How big is it? If it encounters a powerful dark creature, is it planning to let it gnaw its toes?"
"Deep Blue, unleash maximum power and maximize your size!"
Following Charles's words, Deep Blue continued its rapid deductions.
To make such a huge change to the ancient and traditional guardian spell is practically to replace the spell entirely; any wizard who sees such a project would be utterly astonished.
But in Deep Blue, as long as you have enough deduction points, every second is a miracle!
In an instant, the silver-white magic power on the surface of the Taotie Guardian God's body transformed into the platinum-gold magic power that Charles had used when he released the Holy Kingdom Spell earlier.
Cold, sacred, indifferent, like the sharp edge of a sword!
Not only that, the Taotie guardian deity, which was originally less than two people tall, began to expand continuously.
Three meters, five meters, ten meters...
It grew to a full fifteen meters tall, far exceeding the size of the Shaergu Dragon form, before the Taotie Guardian stopped growing.
Now, its body, flowing with platinum-gold light, is covered with large, bulging muscles.
Its sharp claws and teeth are like swords and spears, their sharpness fully revealed.
No matter what kind of dark creature appears in front of this guardian, whether it's a werewolf, a vampire, or a Dementor, it will probably be trampled into dust in the next second and then scooped up and eaten clean!
Logically speaking, having deduced to this point, it has barely met Xia Er's expectations. Next, he should try to cast the Holy Kingdom Spell and the Guardian Spell after his rebirth at the same time.
But Charles hesitated, looking at the majestic and powerful Taotie guardian deity before him with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Can this truly represent one's inner self?
"Is it just gluttony?"
After a moment, Ciel shook his head and raised his wand.
"I am not satisfied with this guardian spirit."
"I have schemed and devoured countless things, not because of mere gluttony, but because I do not believe in anything in this world."
"Love, friendship, peace, justice? I don't believe in any of them."
"Dumbledore? Voldemort? Grindelwald? I don't feel safe siding with any of them."
"Even if someone like Dark were to kneel down before the so-called Great Old Ones and ascend to a higher level, I don't think it's reliable."
"In this world, the only person I can trust is myself. My creed is to seize everything and strengthen myself."
"Therefore, I will do anything, whether it is peace or war, justice or evil, as long as it benefits me."
"Even if it disrupts the so-called original plot or the predetermined fateline, so what?"
"I don't believe in these things, I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself."
Ciel's wand pointed at the Gluttonous Guardian.
"As for you, the guardian deity of the Taotie, I don't believe in you either. What makes a ferocious beast from a past life my guardian deity, and what makes you think you can protect me?"
"If I had to have a guardian angel, I would choose myself!"
