Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Fighting the World's Rules
The magical dragon and the Eight-Eyed Spider stared each other down. Seconds later, they charged at each other.
The collision of these two colossal creatures compressed the air around them, and the resulting shockwaves easily destroyed vast sections of the surrounding area.
As Alex allowed the magical dragon to battle the Eight-Eyed Spider, he observed the spider curiously.
Though its size was smaller than the magical dragon, the Eight-Eyed Spider held its ground in their clash.
The blood-red energy that formed its body repaired any damage instantly, giving it an edge. Despite being weaker in raw power, its relentless attacks overwhelmed the magical dragon.
After a moment of observation, Alex realized the blood-red energy was an unusually powerful form of chaotic magic unique to the Harry Potter world. This reminded him of the final boss in Hogwarts Legacy—a massive dragon made of the same blood-red energy. Could there be a connection?
The battle raged on. Amid the dragon's agonized roars, one of its wings was torn off by the spider. Its body was then shattered under a relentless barrage of spear-like legs.
In the face of the Eight-Eyed Spider's fearless and continuous attacks, the magical dragon fell.
Of course, this was because Alex chose not to intervene!
If the Eight-Eyed Spider could defeat one magical dragon, it was time to summon Magical Dragon 2.0!
If it could defeat Dragon 2.0, then there would be Dragon 3.0, Dragon 4.0, and so on—until an ever-stronger magical dragon finally tore the spider apart.
Naturally, there was a limit to how strong the dragons could grow, and that limit was Alex's true strength, which was at the multi multiversal level
This was the final battle. Alex and the world's rules had reached a point of no return. The outcome would decide whether Alex devoured the world's rules to become the next OAA (One Above All), or... his true body would obliterate the underdeveloped rules of the Harry Potter world and gain a fragmented version of the world.

Infused with another surge of Alex's immense magical energy, the dragon began absorbing everything around it.
Trees, soil, even the air itself were broken down into their atomic structures and absorbed by the dragon. Transfiguration spells continually repaired and strengthened its body.
The dragon's size grew visibly, stretching from 100 meters to 150, then 200, 250, and finally stopping at 500 meters!
At this immense size, the magical dragon towered over the Eight-Eyed Spider like a mountain.
The spider, now dwarfed by the dragon, seemed as insignificant as a housecat before a tiger.
When it realized that the enemy it had nearly defeated had not only fully recovered but also become far stronger, the Eight-Eyed Spider froze in confusion. Its eight eyes reflected disbelief.
"Seriously?! You can't play fair?!"
The spider, now partially intelligent, instantly understood that it stood no chance against this behemoth. Without hesitation, it turned to flee.@@@@
But before it could escape, a massive claw, as large as a small mountain, sliced through the air with a deafening sonic boom.
The claw struck the Eight-Eyed Spider's body, shattering its once-resilient form into fragments of energy that scattered across the ground.
Even in this state, the spider did not die. The scattered energy began writhing and pulling toward the center, attempting to reassemble its body.
But before it could fully reform, the magical dragon opened its maw and devoured all the blood-red energy, absorbing and consuming it completely!

With the spider defeated, Alex gained a fragment of the world's authority.
However, it was not enough to turn the tide.
Without wasting time, Alex continued toward the location of Nagini.
Destroying Nagini—the final Horcrux—would grant him full control over the world's rules, allowing him to devour the entire Harry Potter world!
The Magic Dragon moved toward the depths of the Forbidden Forest. For the colossal creature, which measured 500 meters in length, a few strides covered several kilometers, bringing it to the heart of the forest.
At the very center, Alex saw a dense magical array. At its core, coiled atop a blood-red formation, was a massive crimson serpent—Nagini. Its cold, hollow, and indifferent gaze fixed on Alex, who stood atop the dragon.
This was no ordinary snake. The will controlling Nagini's body was no longer her own but that of the Harry Potter world's rules themselves.
To ordinary people, he was indistinguishable from a god.
Severus Snape, observing the two titanic figures retreat into the distance, exhaled deeply before turning to Albus Dumbledore.
"Headmaster, what exactly is the creature fighting Alex? Could such a being exist within the wizarding world?"
Dumbledore remained silent, his expression troubled. He, too, had never encountered anything like this before.
The power those two wielded was beyond comprehension. Either one of them could effortlessly destroy the entire world.
They didn't seem like creations of this world. If the wizarding world had previously been a low-magic domain, Alex's arrival had elevated it to a mid-magic world. And now, with this battle, it had reached the level of high magic.
After a long pause, Dumbledore shook his head, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"I don't know, Severus. The creature does bear some resemblance to ancient magic, but even ancient magic could never achieve this level of power. Don't dwell on it too much. Instead, we should hope for Alex's victory."
He added with a grave expression:
"Unlike Alex, we know nothing about that creature. If it's an evil being and manages to defeat Alex, it might very well destroy this entire world."
Snape nodded in agreement.
"You're right, Headmaster."
The World Rules: "Rubbish! I'm the righteous one here! That guy is the villain! He's the invader!"
...
In the skies, the Thunder Dragon and Nagini continued their relentless clash. Crimson flames and dazzling lightning illuminated the heavens, dyeing the entire world in hues of red and blue.
The roaring fire and crackling lightning erupted constantly, creating deafening explosions high above. Their battle stretched across vast distances, with its effects reaching farther and farther as time went on.
The sky grew ominously dark, as if signaling the end of the world.
In yet another collision, half of the Thunder Dragon's body was destroyed. It looked battered and miserable, yet Nagini was in an even worse state.
Most of Nagini's body had been shattered, with crimson energy burning like fire at its wounds, trying desperately to heal them. But its strength was nearly depleted, leaving no energy to fully reconstruct its body.
Seeing this, Alex prepared to deliver the final blow, ready to destroy the last Horcrux once and for all.
But just as he moved to strike, something unexpected occurred. Nagini's aura and magical energy surged exponentially. The once-depleted energy began to rise rapidly. Magic from hundreds, even thousands of kilometers away, was drawn toward Nagini, pouring into its body and strengthening it further.
Facing the increasingly powerful Nagini, Alex didn't grow angry. Instead, he smiled.
"So, this is your last resort, isn't it?"
Indeed, the abnormal scene unfolding before him wasn't caused by anything else—it was the work of the World Rules.
After following its own set of rules and strengthening Nagini to its limit, only to have it still lose to Alex, the World Rules found itself on the brink of being devoured. Pushed to desperation, it snapped and resorted to irrational actions.
Breaking its own established rules, it disrupted the natural order of the Harry Potter world and forcefully elevated Nagini's power beyond its limits.
By now, Alex's avatar was no longer a match for Nagini. But his true opponent was never Nagini. It was always the World Rules.
And for the World Rules, its true adversary was not Alex's avatar—it was his true form, waiting outside.
As Alex's avatar smiled, his true form mirrored the expression.
When the Harry Potter World Rules broke its own limitations, it created a precedent, giving Alex the justification to do the same. Now, he too could bypass the Harry Potter world's restrictions.
Taking a single step forward, Alex used his control over the world's authority to forcibly enter the Harry Potter world. He appeared directly in front of the Thunder Dragon.
His avatar merged back into his true form. Staring at the ever-growing Nagini, Alex scoffed:
"In the end, you're just an immature World Rule—far from the wisdom of the OAA. You've dug your own grave!"
He sneered.
"If you hadn't disrupted your own rules, it would've taken me much more effort to fully devour the Harry Potter world. But since you've destabilized it yourself, now it's all too simple!"
