Using the power of the Cyclops to increase Glop's strength would allow him to become stronger and rule the giant tribe.
It sounded a little hasty, but that was how simple it was. If it was humans, centaurs, fairies, or other species, it might be complicated, but the giants did not have so many schemes. They liked to fight and were used to solving everything with their fists.
Whoever had the biggest fist would be the boss, and the other giants would have to listen to the strongest one.
If Glop succeeded in becoming the Giant Gurgo, they would have gained a powerful ally.
Although the giants were not smart, they were strong. Even the Lord Voldemort could not ignore their strength.
By then, he would have to be more cautious when he wanted to start a war, and he would have to consider the difference in strength between the two sides.
That was Elwyn's original plan. It was the most effective way to solve the current dilemma of forming an alliance with the giants.
After returning to Lighthouse, he selectively described his experience and told Sirius the whole plan.
Elwyn did not tell him everything about the Titan Kronos. He would go back to the past to participate in the Final Battle. This was too shocking, and no one would believe it. Even if it was true, it would only make Sirius worried.
He focused on the giants and discussed the feasibility of his plan with Sirius.
"Elwyn, I said before that I would support you unconditionally, but this plan …" Sirius said hesitantly. "We need to be careful about using the power of the Cyclops to strengthen Glop. I've never heard of such a method before. It sounds like the Dark Wizard Raven's Claw …"
"Of course, the wizards can't do that. The human body structure is different from the giants, and the power of the Cyclops is not the same as the power of the Cyclops, so they cannot be perfectly combined. The Dark Wizard we saw before used some kind of secret technique to modify his body and forcefully absorbed the magic in the air and the power of the Cyclops. The only result was that he became a half-demon, living shadow monster. He would lose all his sanity, and even his life. " Elwyn explained, "But the giants are different. They are the descendants of the cyclops. Their power comes from the same lineage. I do not plan to simply transfer all of my power into Gloop's body. Instead, I plan to help him bit by bit …"
"You don't understand what I mean, Elwyn. What you said doesn't sound like a decent spell." Sirius looked at him seriously and raised his voice. "Using black magic to modify the body is a very dangerous thing. Have you forgotten about Lord Voldemort? And what Dumbledore warned you not long ago, to choose between the right path and the shortcut … "
Elwyn did not reply. The spell he was going to use was indeed black magic.
Sirius' reminder made him realize that he seemed to have less and less reservations when it came to using black magic. He was also getting more and more proficient at it.
The first time he used black magic was to help Hermione fight the werewolves. At the time, he was very nervous and thought that he had done something terrible. But now, Elwyn could use the spell at will without feeling guilty.
He had to admit that black magic was much luckier than other types of magic.
He had always believed that there was no good or evil in magic. The key was what it was used for. Other than those spells that required extreme hatred and malice to be used, other black magic should not have any restrictions.
In the eyes of many wizards, this was an extremely ridiculous and dangerous idea. All black magic should be resisted.
Even though many wizards had mastered a few dangerous spells in private, at least on the surface, they were resisting black magic.
This was the current consensus in the world of magic. It was also a lesson learned from the many wars.
With the progress of civilization, the overall standard of the world of magic was getting weaker and weaker. A large part of this was due to their own limitations.
The times had changed. The world did not need so many powerful wizards, nor did it need a savior. Unrestricted power was a burden. Even in Hogwarts, the professors did not hold back when imparting magic knowledge.
Dumbledore was trying his best to maintain the tradition of this ancient school. But more and more lessons were taught. The reform was inevitable. Those ancient magic books were abandoned in unknown corners or locked in the forbidden areas of the library.
The merging of the world of magic and the world of Muggle was speeding up. Perhaps in a few decades, all wizards would have to rely on techniques and tools such as "quick casting" or "easy casting" to use magic. They would forget the nature of spells and those complicated magic runes.
It was hard to say that this was a bad thing. However, for those wizards who wanted to become stronger and pursue supreme power, they were obviously different. They were targets that needed to be destroyed. Perhaps this was the tragedy of the End of Days.
If he did not know so many secrets, Elwyn would have thrown those complicated magic books aside like the other young wizards. However, he could not do that, at least not now. He could not watch the destruction come and do nothing.
"Too much power is a burden!" Elwyn sighed. He did not change his mind, even though it was dangerous.
However, just as Sirius had said, he had to be careful when it came to helping Gloop increase his strength. Previously, he had only looked at the gains and losses from the perspective of benefits and had neglected other things. This was indeed a dangerous sign. Perhaps this was the side effect of increasing his strength …
After seeing so many powerful beings during this trip to Italy, he felt that he was too weak.
Perhaps, this was a manifestation of impatience.
"I'll be careful!" Elwyn said in the end. "Let's go back to the island first and see Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim …"
When Elwyn and Sirius returned to the giant's territory, a simple funeral was going on.
The target of the funeral was Hagrid's mother, Fridwafa. Not long ago, this old female giant had finally ended her life.
She did not die from an ambush, but from the normal cycle of life.
For the giants, a tombstone and burial was undoubtedly a luxury.
During his time in the giant's territory, Elwyn had seen too many giants' corpses lying in the wilderness. No one would care about them.
Even their parents, siblings and other relatives would only use leaves to cover the dead giants' corpses.
According to the ancient tradition, they would return to nature in this way. Their souls would sink into the volcano and be with the spirits of their ancestors …
