Chapter 1336: Wish to Give Up
Braxius felt it was about time. He decided to end the magic because, in the end, the victory would still belong to him.
If this girl had any new legendary magic items on her, it would be too much!
Even now, he still felt it was excessive and unbelievable.
When did precious legendary magic items become like potatoes on the ground? So worthless that an unknown little girl could casually carry several of them? Come on, this defied all reason!
It was well known that legendary magic items were rare and each one was extremely precious.
Even in the last magical era, they were all very well-known treasures with countless legends behind them.
Most wizards might never have the opportunity to come into contact with a legendary magic item in their lifetime, let alone own it.
Braxius originally thought Evan was the illegitimate daughter of some great family or influential figure, but looking at the current situation, a powerful family in the general sense could not arm Evan like this. Even the three Founders of Hogwarts, the senior members of the Wizards' Council, and the heads of old pure-blood Wizarding families such as the Malfoys, etc., these wizards carried fewer legendary magic items than Evan, so how big could Evan's background be?!
Following this line of thought, Braxius didn't even dare imagine further!
Surely, only those at the top of the pyramid had such wealth.
So, Evan's true background…
Braxius decided he must ensure no harm came to this girl for the time being, and he would report the matter to His Holiness the Pope as quickly as possible.
Of course, today's victory still belonged to him — or at least, that's what he believed.
Braxius raised the scepter in his hand high, and dozens of white beams of light descended from the Great Hall's ceiling.
At that moment, the space was filled with a sacred atmosphere. Except for the wizards enveloped by the beams of light, the remaining wizards had a dull satisfaction on their faces, as if they were seeing God in their illusions and listening to His voice.
Even those who didn't believe in deities and were considered heretical or evil began to pray and repent!
Such was the power of God. Follow His guidance, and the holy light would purify everything.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Braxius also began reciting hymns of praise…
"Meow!"
Cardinal Braxius, who was about to praise God, stopped because he heard a cat's meow.
It was very faint, yet extremely clear, as if it was right next to his ear!
In his perception, Braxius did not detect anything abnormal.
With the enhancement of countless magical powers, his perception reached its maximum. Not to mention a cat, even a bug entering the Great Hall would be noticed by him.
Since there was nothing, it was like the blue spinning disc above Evan's head, something beyond Braxius's perception.
He couldn't explain why, but his first instinct was to look at Evan. And just like before, there was no change at all.
Under the illumination of more than a dozen beams of light, that was the area with the strongest holy light magic power in the Great Hall. All the legendary magic items displayed by Evan were compressed into their original forms. Those green runes did not take shape and turned into green mist again.
Seeing that the phenomenon wasn't coming from Evan, Braxius inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and looked at the wizards on the stage who were shrouded in the beams of light. Except for Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, who were still able to maintain the magical illusion in their beams of light, the legendary magic items of the remaining wizards had all been compressed into condensed light fog.
Under such immense power, the grade of those legendary magic items was no longer sufficient to maintain their original forms.
This ruled out those wizards as the source.
In the audience below, besides Evan, only the boy from the Peverell family attracted two beams of light.
The item on him was connected to something in Evan's possession, but it had become vague.
Other than these individuals, no one else attracted a light pillar, indicating that they neither possessed legendary magic artifacts nor were responsible.
So, what on earth was that cat meowing about?!
Braxius looked around suspiciously for a long time, but found nothing unusual.
He thought he might be hallucinating, or there might be a legendary magic item here that was beyond the control of the Grand Prophecy.
Normally, this kind of thing…
The magic of the Grand Prophecy was not really about prophecy or divination, but a divine magic created specifically by the Holy See.
Operating in the name of the divine, it provided guidance and revelations to the faithful. In theory, since God was omnipotent, as long as the priest casting the spell had sufficient magical power, no magic item could escape its control — they would inevitably reveal themselves.
If something did evade detection, there were only two possibilities.
The first was that the person was very powerful or the magic item was of a very high grade, and the magic power currently being used was not enough.
The second possibility was that the person or magic item itself was a being at the same level as God, or a higher level. In such a case, the divine power would neither force them to manifest nor control them.
Braxius pondered these possibilities and felt that none of them were possible. Maybe he was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations. There was no existence higher than God, and the magic power he was using now exceeded any precedent. He even felt a surreal sense that he was God at this moment, his power at its absolute peak.
With this level of magic power and control, it was impossible for anything to remain hidden. …
To be on the safe side, Braxius slowly moved the scepter horizontally, and several more beams of light fell on Evan.
This girl was so enigmatic that he thought he'd better be careful.
As he moved, Braxius's gaze returned to Evan, and then immediately froze.
At that moment, he felt his heart stop beating, God, what had he just seen?!
It wasn't the pure white light associated with the Holy Light — instead, the glow within Evan's pillar began to take on a dark golden hue!
A faint shadow, a dark golden essence, started to manifest above Evan's head. It was another legendary magic item.
And this one… its rank was incomprehensibly, absurdly high!
So much magic power, such a powerful force, and all it managed was to barely reveal a shadowy outline. …
Braxius felt like he was going crazy, oh God, the almighty one!
Even the supreme Pope would not carry so many legendary magic items on him, especially not something like the last one that had appeared as a faint dark golden shadow. In fact, within the entire Holy See, perhaps only one item could rival it.
If he had a choice, Braxius now wished he could give up. …
