Chapter 798: The Sequence of Events
🕑 Added 2023-06-11 06:29:13 +0000 UTC"Among the countless timelines I have experienced, this is just one of them, a time where you don't exist."
Cronos continued, noticing Evan’s expression, “Don’t look at me like that, Evan. I know you are surprised, but I don’t know why you didn’t exist. It seems like you suddenly crossed the spatial boundaries and came to this world. This is not my dominion, but my companion’s, another Titan ..."
Evan certainly knew why he didn’t exist. He was not initially from this world. That was his biggest secret.
From the words of Cronos, there was also a Titan that had the ability to master space.
Evan didn’t know what to say anymore. His crossing into this world didn't seem to be as simple or coincidental as it appeared.
Before that, he was just a student who liked reading Harry Potter, and he’d never thought that magic really existed.
He so came to this world, and after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he thought it was simply the world of Harry Potter.
As a Muggle-born wizard, his greatest enemy was Voldemort...
He had tried his best to maintain the development of the original plot and do everything in his power to save those who should not have died according to his wishes.
Evan still remembered his first year in Hogwarts, when the Basilisk was raging in the castle. He was in a state of unease. He knew everything clearly, knew that something bad was about to happen, knew the real identity of the murderer behind it, knew how to enter the Chamber of Secrets, but he could not say it, and even dared not go to see Dumbledore ...
He explored this world carefully. When he had enough observation and tried to change the world a little, the familiar plot changed dramatically. Tom Riddle's diary, which was supposed to be in Ginny's hands, ran to Ron.
A series of events eventually led to the Basilisk breaking into the Gryffindor Common Room and the darkening of Ron, which made his character a little eccentric.
That was Evan’s responsibility. He tried to save Ginny, but Ron was hurt instead...
Nevertheless, that was not Evan's original intention. For a while, he felt that his performance was stupid!
He made a mess of things. Fortunately, the outcome of the Chamber of Secrets' incident was not too bad.
After that incident, Evan, who had learned his lesson, became more careful in handling Sirius's escape.
Knowing everything but not being able to speak out, not daring too much change, and even pushing things backwards in accordance with the familiar plot, Evan was still fighting alone, a lonely person, never knowing how big the butterfly effect would be.
Needless to say, the final outcome of the matter was very different from Evan’s vision. Professor Lupin resigned early; he and Hermione encountered a werewolf attack in Hogsmeade, Professor Trelawney's new prediction, Ron once again controlled by the Imperius Curse, Peter Pettigrew’s conspiracy, and so on.
These were all things that Evan had not expected to happen, but they were the inevitable result of his coming to this world.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Evan had seen the strength of friendship, and what the real courage was.
With the help of Harry and Hermione, they finally captured Peter Pettigrew and cleared Sirius’s name.
After Sirius returned, Evan became more active, not following the naive idea to maintain the original plot, but trying to bring some changes.
He accelerated the pace of learning and exploration, further strengthened his power, and actively confronted Voldemort.
The result of this was that the changes were getting bigger and bigger, and evil gods, ancient magical civilizations and unknown mysteries gradually appeared.
The root of all this was that Evan had used the Time-Turner to return to Hogwarts a thousand years ago and contacted the Four Founders.
He then got involved in the secret treasure left by the Four Founders, and time changed from a thousand years ago.
Evan had once thought that the so-called secret treasure was meant to fight Voldemort; it contained weapons left by the Four Founders, but as he learned more about magic and went a little deeper in the search for the treasure keys, he found that this was not the case at all. It was a scheme set up by the Four Founders to fight against evil gods, a battle that had lasted for thousands of years and had not ended, and its complexity was beyond his imagination.
Evan’s ability to go back to a thousand years ago might only be part of this grand plan.
Even if not, after seeing him, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin had also planned everything then.
The power of time magic reappeared. Evan had just changed a few small things before, and tried to maintain the development of the original plot on the main line, but this led to earth-shaking changes in the events of the Chamber of Secrets and Sirius’s jailbreak, let alone the layout carefully planned by the Four Founders a thousand years ago.
The challenge they left to Evan was not that simple, requiring him to defeat or seal the terrible gods again.
It was impossible for Evan to withdraw, because from the moment he met the Four Founders, he had already been in the game.
The secrets of the wizarding world unfolded bit by bit, intertwining Evan, Hogwarts, Voldemort, vampires, and evil gods...
Evan sighed. He had been more or less aware of that before, thinking that he had understood everything, believing that these were the entirety of it.
But the news just revealed in Cronos’s words suddenly made him realize that the struggle between the Four Founders and the evil gods had lasted for a thousand years, and that the complex layout and the secret of the treasure might be part of a larger situation. What he thought he’d seen was actually only part of all this.
Cronos told Evan that they had met long and long ago.
This very long time might be thousands of years ago, older than the age of ancient magic, when the Titans still existed.
In Evan’s future, when he used the Time-Turner to return to that era, the latter things changed again.
For example, Evan’s meeting with Cronos now might be one of many changes. Rowena Ravenclaw, known as the wisest witch, used Evan to find the secret treasure key she’d left behind to guide him to come here to see the existence of the self-proclaimed Titan Cronos.
As another example, his crossing into this wizarding world might also be part of the change...
With the complexity of things expanding rapidly, Evan couldn’t imagine how things would develop in the future.
As Cronos said, time was an intricate web, in which it was impossible to distinguish where the starting point was and where the end point was. Countless timelines were intertwined in everything, independent though affecting each other, to jointly build the whole world.
Too tangled, trying to clear all the clues, the final outcome was to be lost in time...
