Chapter 207: Chaos Power Lv6
When even Snape suggested she trade the Invisibility Cloak, Harriet finally made up her mind:
"Alright, Alex, I'll agree to the trade. But I still feel this deal is unfair to you. No matter how strong the Deathly Hallows are, they can't possibly compare to the value of a magical dragon!"
Alex didn't hide the truth. "To you, the Invisibility Cloak may only serve to make you invisible, but for me, it has other uses. You don't need to feel guilty—this is a fair trade."
The group then moved to the lawn outside. Alex had everyone stand a safe distance away before he cast the Transfiguration spell to summon the magical dragon.
The earth trembled, and a massive magical dragon burst out of the ground with a deafening roar, asserting its presence to the world.
Standing nearby, Malfoy watched the scene with an intense look of awe directed at Alex, but when his gaze turned to Harriet, it was filled with jealousy.
Snape, staring up at the towering magical dragon over 100 meters tall, couldn't help but sigh in amazement:
"No matter how many times I see it, it still leaves me in awe. Such an extraordinary level of Transfiguration is simply unbelievable… Harriet, you've struck gold!"
After handing the magical dragon over to Harriet and explaining how to use it, Alex received the Invisibility Cloak in return.
As soon as he obtained the cloak, Alex immediately cast a fire spell to burn it to ashes.
This act baffled Harriet and the others. He had just traded a magical dragon for a Deathly Hallow, and now he was destroying it?
However, Alex had no intention of explaining himself. He left straight away, returning to his dormitory.
Upon destroying the Invisibility Cloak, Alex felt a surge of control over the world's power. With his current mastery, he realized he could fuse yet another brand-new skill!
Back in his dormitory, Alex sat on his bed and opened the system interface.
Thanks to merging the "Absolute Manipulation" and "Spatial Sovereign" skills earlier, his system interface was now much cleaner, no longer cluttered with an excessive number of skills like before.
This time, Alex decided to enhance one of his core skills: Energy Absorption.
Energy Absorption allowed him to absorb energy, convert it into energy points, improve template fusion, and increase his power limits. It was, without a doubt, his most important skill.
If Energy Absorption could be merged with other skills for enhancement, his rate of power growth would skyrocket!
Alex carefully analyzed the system interface, scrutinizing all his skills, and finally decided which ones to merge with Energy Absorption.
The selected skills were:
1. Energy Absorption Lv6
2. Six Eyes Lv6
3. Third Tree: Abyss Lv4
All three skills were related to energy. Energy Absorption allowed him to absorb and manipulate energy, while Six Eyes granted him precise energy control and a rule-based percentage reduction in energy consumption. Third Tree: Abyss was even more powerful, allowing him to gain a 200x energy boost unconditionally!
If these three skills could be fused, Energy Absorption would undoubtedly be elevated to an entirely new level of power.
Working in perfect synergy with his original self, Alex tapped into the chaotic magic of the Harry Potter world, using it as a furnace to merge the selected skills.
On the skill interface, the entries for Energy Absorption Lv6, Six Eyes Lv6, and Third Tree: Abyss Lv4 gradually disappeared, replaced by the formation of a brand-new skill.
After some time, the fusion was complete. A flood of information poured into Alex's mind, revealing the details of the new skill.
Chaos Power Lv6 (733/50,000): A brand-new skill created by merging Energy Absorption, Six Eyes, and Third Tree: Abyss. It possesses the ability to absorb energy, manipulate energy, amplify energy, and reduce energy loss through rule-based effects.
Chaos Power retained all the abilities of the previous three skills, each of which had been significantly enhanced.
Alex had reached a point where he could absorb energy at twice his previous speed. Additionally, he could now actively activate Chaos Power, granting a 300-fold energy boost and reducing energy consumption by a staggering 50%!
Without question, merging his abilities to create Chaos Power had been the right decision. Alex's overall strength had increased by at least 50%.
Meanwhile, his avatar in the Harry Potter world grew even more connected to his original self, inheriting some of the effects of Chaos Power. The avatar's ability to absorb chaotic magic had multiplied several times over.
After completing the skill fusion, Alex left his dormitory and made his way to the Headmaster's Office.
Upon arrival, Alex told Dumbledore he wanted to be the one to destroy the Resurrection Stone.
Though puzzled, Dumbledore agreed. Voldemort had already been defeated by Alex, and the Resurrection Stone no longer served a purpose. Dumbledore had planned to destroy it eventually, so he took Alex to the chamber where it was hidden, retrieved the Resurrection Stone, and handed it to him.
Alex wasted no time destroying the Resurrection Stone, gaining yet another significant portion of the world's control.
Now, only one task remained for Alex to fully destroy the three Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand.
Turning to Dumbledore, Alex declared, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I would like to challenge you!"
Dumbledore was taken aback. Why would Alex want to challenge him? Was it for the fame of defeating the most powerful white wizard?
But the headmaster quickly dismissed that thought. Alex wasn't the type to care about worldly recognition. There had to be another reason.
As a wise man with over a century of experience, Dumbledore quickly deduced Alex's true intent. Having already destroyed the Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone, Alex's goal was clear—the Elder Wand!
Realizing this, the benevolent headmaster decided to grant Alex his request. Smiling, Dumbledore said, "Mr. Alex, it's quite late today. How about we have a public duel tomorrow on the Great Lawn?"
Alex, unfazed by the delay, agreed.

The next morning, an astonishing piece of news spread like wildfire throughout Hogwarts:
The greatest wizard of the century, Albus Dumbledore, would duel the most gifted wizard in millennia, first-year student Alex, on the Great Lawn!
The news electrified the school. Every young wizard was eager to witness this clash and see who would emerge victorious.
No one doubted Alex's qualifications for the duel. After all, he had summoned a magical dragon—proof that even as a first-year, his abilities rivaled the strongest in the wizarding world.
The event attracted more than just Hogwarts students. Media outlets, wizarding families, and magical historians from far and wide gathered at the school to witness the duel. The crowd quickly outgrew the Great Lawn, forcing the venue to be moved to the Quidditch pitch.
---
As the crowd settled into the Quidditch pitch, Alex and Dumbledore stood face-to-face in the center of the arena.
Dumbledore held the legendary Elder Wand, while Alex wielded an ordinary wand.
A seventh-year student in the audience turned to their friend and asked, "Who do you think will win?"
The friend pondered for a moment before answering, "If nothing unexpected happens, Headmaster Dumbledore should win.
"Alex is undoubtedly a prodigy, but he's still only a first-year and has only been studying magic for a few months. It's too short a time.
"If Alex were in his seventh year, I'd say he could defeat the headmaster. But as a first-year? I doubt he's a match for Dumbledore's century of experience."
"No, Alex will definitely win this battle! You've all seen the magical dragon he summoned—the colossal creature over 100 meters long. Even Headmaster Dumbledore would struggle to defeat that!"
Another seventh-year student, a firm believer in Dumbledore's prowess, retorted: "Dumbledore has decades of experience and unparalleled mastery of magic. Alex may be gifted, but he's only just started his magical journey!"
Their heated debate caught the attention of a nearby journalist, who approached them and asked,
"You mentioned a magical dragon. Are you saying this Alex can summon such a creature?"
The supporter of Alex responded excitedly: "Of course! Not only can Alex summon magical dragons, but he's also invented numerous powerful spells. Most of these spells haven't been revealed yet, so only Hogwarts students are aware of them.
"Mark my words: Alex will use his unique magic to defeat Dumbledore and become the strongest wizard of this era!"
The journalist's eyes lit up with intrigue, and they nodded.
"I'm even more eager to see this battle unfold!"
---
The wizards in the audience were split into two camps.
One camp believed Alex's extraordinary talent made him the most powerful wizard of the present day, a title he would hold for decades to come.
The other camp, consisting of the majority, supported Dumbledore. The headmaster's decades of fame, achievements, and unparalleled magic commanded respect and admiration. While they acknowledged Alex's frightening potential, they felt he needed time and experience to truly surpass Dumbledore.
---
As the audience speculated and debated, Alex and Dumbledore stood ten meters apart, their gazes locked.
The ever-kind Dumbledore suggested, "Alex, this battle might affect the spectators. Shall we cast a Seamless Extension Charm together to enlarge the arena?"
Alex agreed without hesitation.
Together, they cast the spell, causing the space within the Quidditch pitch to visibly expand. It stretched and stretched until the field grew to the size of a small city.
The crowd erupted in cheers, marveling at their seamless teamwork and the sheer magnitude of their magical abilities. Even this simple display revealed a glimpse of their immense power—something ordinary wizards could only dream of achieving.
Without a referee's whistle, Alex and Dumbledore exchanged a silent nod of understanding and activated their first spells.
Alex led with his signature Transformation Spell, conjuring his infamous magical dragon.
To the surprise of many, Dumbledore's first spell was also a highly advanced transformation spell!
While Dumbledore was known as the greatest white wizard of the era, few were aware that transformation magic was his true specialty. Before becoming headmaster, Dumbledore had been Hogwarts' Transfiguration professor. Even now, his skill in transfiguration surpassed that of Professor McGonagall.
Alex had invented this advanced transformation spell only months ago, but Dumbledore, with his vast experience, had fully mastered and refined it during that time.
As their spells took effect, two massive figures rose from the ground.
The larger of the two was Alex's Magical Dragon, now a towering 150 meters long. Its size and presence dominated the battlefield, drawing gasps of awe from the spectators.
Yet Dumbledore's summoned creature, while slightly smaller, radiated an overwhelming sense of wisdom and raw magical power—a reflection of its creator's century-long mastery of magic.
The clash of these titanic beasts marked the true beginning of the duel. The audience held their breath, knowing they were witnessing history in the making.
On the other side of the magical dragon stood a phoenix engulfed in blazing red flames. Though slightly smaller than the dragon, it still measured over 100 meters in length, nearly matching the dragon in size.
The moment the two colossal creatures appeared, they charged at each other, colliding with a deafening crash that resembled the sound of steel striking stone. The piercing roar from their clash reverberated across several kilometers. Without the extended space created earlier by the Extension Charm, the surrounding wizards would undoubtedly have been overwhelmed by the soundwaves.
The audience was left utterly speechless as they watched the battle unfold. It was as though a myth had come to life—a phoenix and a dragon locked in a ferocious struggle. Streams of molten, glowing blood flowed from their wounds, turning the earth beneath them into a searing, bubbling mess.
A journalist, too stunned to think coherently, muttered to himself repeatedly: "Is this… is this the Advanced Transformation Spell?
Is this the power of the most powerful wizards alive today?
This is… monstrous!"
Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, watched the battlefield with trembling limbs. Such terrifying power—either of them alone—could destroy not only the British wizarding world but all of Britain, including the Muggle realm.
Dumbledore is one thing… but how can a first-year student like Alex possess such devastating strength? Fudge thought.
In that moment, Fudge realized the harsh truth: his title as Minister of Magic meant nothing to these two titans. If they were in a good mood, they might spare him a kind smile. If not, they could kill him with a single blow.
Resolving to adapt to this new reality, Fudge vowed to approach both Alex and Dumbledore with humility from that point forward. It was the only way to show proper respect to such overwhelming power.
---
As time passed, the battle reached its climax.
Alex and Dumbledore each mounted their respective creatures—Alex on his Magical Dragon and Dumbledore on his Flaming Phoenix. The fight ascended to the skies, with the two wizards hurling spell after spell at each other while their mounts clashed ferociously.
Levitating Charms, Disarming Spells, Advanced Transformation Spells, and Summoning Charms filled the air.
Every spell imaginable was cast—except for the Killing Curse—as the two engaged in a duel beyond anything the wizarding world had ever witnessed.
Even the simplest spell, such as a Levitating Charm, became a weapon of unimaginable destruction in their hands. Entire boulders weighing hundreds of tons floated into the air before being hurled at lightning speed toward the opponent.
The extraordinary power of Alex and Dumbledore left the audience awestruck, fully aware that they were witnessing history in the making.
