Chapter 487 A unique Christmas gift, allocating excess special abilities!
Dali quietly accomplished the important task.
Although his cousin and three friends in the same dormitory were a little puzzled as to why Dali suddenly opened all the gifts in such a hurry, they did not go up and ask any further questions.
They assumed Dudley was in a hurry to conduct magical research and write a new book at the library.
They were still happily unwrapping their gifts.
Dali glanced at his roommates and, seeing that none of them had opened the gifts he had given them, he vanished from the dormitory in a flash.
Upon noticing that Dali had disappeared, the people in the dormitory were not surprised; instead, they felt that it confirmed their previous guess.
It's no secret that Dudley can apparate without regard to limitations.
But what they didn't know was that Dudley wasn't using a super teleportation ability similar to the Super Apparition Charm this time, but rather... a conceptualized door-opening charm.
Dudley used his mind to open a directional teleportation portal in front of him that was visible and usable only by him, and then flashed through it.
This is much faster and more convenient than the illusionary teleportation that requires the body to spiral through space, and it also avoids the dizziness associated with spatial teleportation.
Dudley had long since adapted to the dizzying sensation of spatial teleportation, but with the more convenient and comfortable conceptual opening spell, there was no need to force himself to use the ultimate teleportation ability.
Moreover, the effect of the ultimate teleportation ability is far inferior to that of the conceptual opening spell.
The ultimate teleportation ability can only reach any location on this planet in this world. The portal opened by the conceptual opening spell can easily teleport Dudley to any planet outside the solar system or the Milky Way galaxy in this world.
He could even leave this world and return to the world he came from, or go to other worlds.
However, Dudley has no immediate plans to travel to other worlds. He has no attachments in his original world, and there is no rush for him to go to other worlds.
Decades later, after completely transforming the world into his ideal state, allowing his family and friends to live a long, vibrant, and enjoyable stable life, once everything has settled down, it won't be too late to cross over into tourism.
……
On the eighth floor of the castle, there is a magical research lab constructed from the Room of Requirement.
Dudley arrived here directly through a conceptualized incantation.
The magical research began as usual.
Thirty minutes later, Dudley sensed his friends approaching and paused his magical research.
The door to the House of Requirement opened.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, and Seamus walked in together, their faces filled with doubt and anticipation of the surprise.
Because the Christmas gift box that Dali gave them this year only contained a note with a blessing and an invitation, without any other actual gifts.
The note told them to come to the House of Requirement at this time to receive the real Christmas surprise from Dudley.
Then they came.
"Cousin, what gift are you giving so mysteriously? Breakfast time is almost here." Harry, representing his friends, was the first to ask Dudley.
"Don't worry, it won't take long," Dali replied with a smile. "The gift I'm giving you this year isn't something tangible, but rather..."
As Dali spoke, his figure suddenly turned into a blur, quickly passing in front of his cousin and four friends.
During this process, he tapped his finger five times, lightly touching the foreheads of the five people one by one, and transmitted several abilities or characteristics to each of them through the system.
As Dudley has come this far, he has incorporated a large number of magical items, gaining a great deal of powerful abilities and characteristics.
Some of these have overlapping effects, while others cannot keep up with the pace of Dali's improvement and can be eliminated.
After acquiring multiple powerful and imaginative conceptual abilities that can be expanded and utilized, there are even more abilities and characteristics that can be eliminated by Dali.
These abilities and traits are useless to Dali; he might as well give them to friends and family to enhance the strength of his allies.
"Instead... it's an ability or characteristic that you can personally grasp."
After Dudley completed the touch transfer, he continued, "Harry, you have an exceptionally high talent for flying, and you have also honed your flying spellcasting skills at my request. Therefore, this time I am giving you a spatial flight ability."
This ability allows you to fly at high speeds without any magical aids, and also to teleport short and long distances, similar to the Apparition Charm, but the principle is different.
What Dudley gave his cousin was the bonus ability he gained when he fused with the new Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was able to fly and teleport using the broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which was achieved through this spatial escape ability.
In terms of flight, this ability is inferior to the high-speed autonomous flight ability gained by merging with the Golden Snitch; in terms of teleportation, it is inferior to the supreme teleportation ability gained by merging with the Super Door Key.
Even without conceptual abilities, Dudley would still be a discarded item, perfect for giving to his cousin.
"Thank you, cousin!" Harry said excitedly, while simultaneously playing a small-scale aerial maneuver within the Room of Requirement.
As for teleportation, it would still be somewhat difficult for Harry to break through Hogwarts' Apparition restrictions with his newfound ability.
"There's no need to say thank you when exchanging Christmas gifts. Just remember it in your heart."
Dudley looked at Harry and said with a smile, then turned to the other four friends, "You're not allowed to thank me anymore!"
The others responded with genuine, shy smiles.
Dudley continued, "Hermione, what I'm giving you is super-layered X-ray vision and the ability to see through invisibility. This is the power of the magical item—the Eye of X-ray vision."
I hope you can make good use of this ability to enhance your perception and broaden your horizons.
Since the development of conceptual perception, all the previous perception-based abilities have become obsolete.
The ability to see through the magic eye is no exception.
Dudley must give this ability, but not to Harry, Ron, or Seamus.
It was a time when adolescents' emotions were just beginning to stir, and Dali was afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it.
Dudley was at ease with Neville, but there was no need to subject Neville to unnecessary temptations.
After much thought, Hermione, the most intelligent and perceptive among her friends, was best suited for this ability.
Hermione is just as obsessed with book knowledge as Dudley. Even with her X-ray vision, she doesn't use it for anything inappropriate.
Sure enough, Hermione felt only joy and no shyness after gaining this ability, which shows that she didn't think of anything strange at all.
This is good.
"Ron, the ability I'm giving you is spatial teleportation."
Dudley turned his gaze to Ron and continued, "This ability allows you to move yourself and inanimate objects within your perception range, as well as living things that are under your control or have little ability to resist."
Whether used to dodge surprise attacks or to adjust the positioning of your 'battle groups', it's quite effective.
This ability remains one of the additional abilities gained from fusing with the new Myriad Soul Banner.
The reason why the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was able to move a bunch of snakes around him was because of this ability.
Dudley can now achieve the same effect with his own magical skills, and even more powerfully, not to mention he has the conceptualized door-opening spell, which naturally makes this ability obsolete.
Under Dudley's guidance, Ron, based on his talent for wizard chess, diligently practiced polymorphism and summoning spells. His combat style leaned towards group battles, which was a perfect match for his teleportation ability.
This ability was naturally bestowed upon Dudley.
"Nawi, Seymour."
Dali concluded by saying, "As one of you is a discipline committee member, it's inevitable that you'll be disliked by some people, and you might even be targeted."
Another one has a maxed-out talent for the Explosion Charm, spending all his time developing new and unusual uses for it, inevitably suffering the backlash from the explosions.
Therefore, what I am giving you are defensive characteristics and abilities.
Nawi, from this moment forward, your body and soul will be passively protected by a large amount of protective magic, making you waterproof, fireproof, corrosionproof, curseproof, and resistant to all kinds of magical attacks, making you difficult to destroy.
Simo, from this moment forward, your body and soul will be exceptionally resilient and equally difficult to destroy.
But "difficult to destroy" doesn't mean "indestructible." If a cluster of Killing Curses or Fiendfyre attacks, or if you face a powerful spell from a strong wizard, don't be foolish enough to rush in and fight it head-on.
The traits that Neville and Seamus acquired are among the inherent traits that Dali gained from fusing the Knowledge Collection Book and the new Soul Banner.
Both of these are SS-grade magical items. One is the masterpiece of the modern alchemist Nicolas Flamel, and the other is the perfect creation of an ancient Chinese ghost cultivator.
The Knowledge Collection Tome that Neville acquired has the added protection against various types of magic. Its toughness is slightly less than that of the new Soul Banner that Seamus acquired, but not by much.
Therefore, in summary, Neville and Seymour's characteristics are roughly equivalent.
Neville needs to be wary of being schemed against, making him more suitable for the characteristics of a knowledge collection encyclopedia.
Ximo mainly needs to be able to withstand explosions, which is more suitable for the characteristics of the brand-new Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
For Dudley himself, both of these characteristics are useless.
Because of the supreme property he gained from fusing with the Deathly Hallows - the Invisibility Cloak - immortality and indestructibility, Dudley himself became immune to attacks below the concept level, and his body and soul were sublimated like a god.
Dudley also possesses the system-rewarded ability of eternal death immunity, meaning that no existence or attack can erase him, not even abilities above the conceptual level.
In addition, there is a conceptual repair spell passive defense effect attached to oneself.
Therefore, the defensive capabilities of a mere SS-grade magical item are completely superfluous.
As for why this characteristic wasn't given to his cousin, it's because his cousin couldn't be afraid of getting injured; he had to train, and he had to train constantly.
Anyway, there's a conceptual repair spell to fall back on.
As for the other family members, the parents and Aunt Maggie have conceptual healing spells that directly negate attacks, which are more effective than these two properties.
Aunt Lily and Uncle James, young and promising, still have to practice.
Dali introduced the special Christmas gifts he had given to his friends one by one, and they expressed their gratitude.
After getting familiar with their new abilities or traits, the group of friends happily went to the auditorium for breakfast at Dudley's urging.
Dudley remained at the Room of Requirement.
He no longer needs to eat, drink, or relieve himself; his whereabouts are unpredictable; and he is always busy. His friends have long been used to him not eating with them.
After his friends left, Dudley continued his magical research.
About half an hour later, Old Deng arrived at the House of Requirement, carrying the note Daddy had given him.
