Chapter 351: The Diadem and Wisdom

A wizard wields magic to manipulate rules and rewrite reality.

Knowledge is their source of power.

The more knowledge a wizard possesses and the deeper their understanding of the rules, the greater their impact on reality.

So, what is the ultimate goal of a wizard?

It is omniscience and omnipotence.

If a wizard could comprehend all rules, they could wield god-like power with their mortal body.

Even if their magical power and mental strength are modest, it doesn't matter.

Omniscience and omnipotence, mastery of rules—this is the ultimate dream of all wizards.

However, among the countless dimensions in the sea of chaos, no one has ever achieved this.

Is it due to a lack of intelligence?

Countless worlds have an immeasurable number of intelligent beings, including high-level life forms like dragons, titans, primordial beings, and various super-geniuses.

Yet, no one has truly reached the state of omniscience and omnipotence.

Why is that?

Can it be said that their innate talent is insufficient?

Yet, no one has reached the ultimate realm.

Why?

It is because humans have limitations.

Or rather, all living beings have limitations.

A human brain weighs about 1,400 grams and has a volume of about 1,200 cubic centimeters, consisting of approximately 140 billion cells.

How much can a human brain record?

At least, in terms of understanding rules, it is far from enough.

From a scientific perspective, if a unified field theory holds, then everything in the world is predetermined and calculable.

This theory can explain all physical rules in the universe starting from the quantum realm.

In this case, if one could precisely calculate every fundamental particle, they could use the unified field theory to predict the state of the universe in the next second.

In short, it would be predicting the future.

However, how much computational power is required?

Even monitoring a single fundamental particle requires supercomputers, and these computers are much larger than a fundamental particle.

Extending this to monitor all particles in the universe, the required computer would be many times larger than the entire universe.

Applying this to the magical world also explains human limitations.

Even with immense supernatural power, the biological brain struggles to grasp the rules of the entire world.

Some might say that if a single brain is insufficient, one should seek external assistance.

But what in terms of intelligence can rival the brain?

Modern computers, even theoretical quantum computers, though powerful, still fall short of the human brain in comprehensive real-world performance.

Although the claim that humans only use 10% of their brains with the remaining 90% dormant is a myth, it is undeniable that in terms of intelligence, the human brain is unmatched, with nothing surpassing it.

Alaric had always believed this.

Until just now.

The moment he put on the Diadem of Ravenclaw, a cold, chilling sensation immediately filled his mind.

At that instant, his consciousness achieved absolute calm, and all his thoughts were focused on contemplation.

Simultaneously, Alaric could clearly feel his memory, calculation, thinking, and analytical abilities enhanced several times.

Many questions that had previously been unclear suddenly became crystal clear, and many issues that still required thought instantly had new insights.

Even inspiration, that elusive and ephemeral thing, poured forth like a dam being breached the moment he donned the Diadem.

He felt, for a brief moment, that he was an omniscient and omnipotent deity, with no question beyond his understanding and no difficulty he could not overcome.

However, he knew this was merely an illusion brought on by the sudden surge in his intellect.

If a mere magical artifact could elevate him to this level, then even a millennium ago, Rowena Ravenclaw, regardless of her base intelligence, would have become a god-like figure.

Nonetheless, even so, the Diadem's effects excited Alaric.

Because this Diadem had the ability to elevate his intelligence.

This was an enhancement of his own intelligence, not that of ordinary people.

Alaric's intelligence was already on a different level compared to ordinary people.

Without external aids, even the greatest human geniuses could only reach this level.

Alaric initially estimated that the Diadem would enhance his intelligence but only as a supplementary improvement.

Who could have expected that its effects would be this remarkable?

However, Alaric's excitement wasn't solely due to the increase in intelligence but because he saw a possibility in the Diadem.

A possibility of infinitely increasing his intelligence and achieving omniscience.

At this moment, Alaric resolved to make the study of the magic within the Diadem his next goal.

With breakthroughs in this area, he could significantly accelerate his learning and exploration of magic.

He was almost itching to drop everything and begin his research immediately.

But he couldn't do that because the prerequisite for everything was to defeat Voldemort.

Although Voldemort was no longer a major challenge for Alaric with his increased intellect, resolving him remained a necessary step.

Why is a fly, despite not being bloodthirsty, more annoying than a mosquito to most people?

Because while it doesn't bite, it's bothersome.

And you can't do anything about it.

By defeating Voldemort, Alaric would not only deal with an annoying fly but also take control of the Ministry of Magic, gaining access to centuries of accumulated research materials—what's not to like?
