Chapter 445 Supreme Transfiguration
Upon receiving the system notification, Du Yi remained unmoved, simply muttering to himself, "Check-in."
[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on obtaining Merlin's Supreme Transfiguration Technique!]
A hint of surprise flashed in Dui's eyes.
Merlin holds a supreme position in the magical world. He is the spiritual leader and the founder of magic, and is known as the "Prince of Magic."
It is said that his magical power has surpassed the limits of a wizard, reaching an unfathomable level.
They have achieved extraordinary success, especially in the art of transformation. Their Animagus far surpasses the conventional limitation of "one form for life," breaking through the restriction of only being able to transform into one type of animal. They can transform into a variety of ordinary animals at will, and can even transform into microscopic forms (such as germs).
According to the records of magical history, Merlin defeated Madam Mim by invading her body with a pathogen during their duel, demonstrating the ultimate mastery of Transfiguration.
In addition to transforming into ordinary animals, Merlin is also said to be able to transform into magical creatures such as dragons and unicorns.
These claims are mostly regarded as legends by most wizards.
But now that Dui has received Merlin's supreme transformation surgery, he has discovered that the rumors are true, and that they were even said in a somewhat restrained way.
Merlin isn't simply able to transform into multiple animals; rather, he has no limitations on his transformations and can freely become any creature, whether ordinary or magical.
Even his Animagus is no longer limited to animals, but can become microscopic bacteria, viruses, trees, and even inanimate matter, such as waves that merge into the sea.
According to records, Merlin transformed himself into an oak tree and slept for decades before awakening.
Therefore, another story has been passed down: Merlin was locked in the trunk of an ancient oak tree by Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, using the sealing magic he taught her, and could not escape until the end of his life.
After receiving Merlin's supreme transfiguration inheritance, Dui couldn't help but admire his magical attainments. This "Prince of Magic's" transfiguration was no ordinary art; it touched upon the essential rules of magical transformation, bordering on the Tao, achieving the ability to change in countless ways.
Dui had no doubt that, with Merlin's magical skill, he had probably already surpassed the limits of mortals and reached the level of a god.
Merlin's supreme Transfiguration is not merely about enabling Dui to transform into various creatures; it also encompasses the ultimate mysteries of Transfiguration and an understanding of the changes in all things in the universe. At its core lies the fundamental reshaping of the physical body and soul, achieving permanent transformation, or even a fundamental change.
This means that if Dui fully masters and comprehends Merlin's supreme transformation technique, internally: he will not only be able to transform into any magical creature at will, such as dragons, unicorns, and thunderbirds, but he will also possess the unique abilities of these magical creatures.
To outsiders, he can use shapeshifting to transform a person into a dragon, phoenix, unicorn, etc., and this transformation is not merely a change in form, but a change in the true essence of life and even the soul, making the person resemble a real dragon, phoenix, unicorn, etc.
It is no different from the phoenix.
He can even use transmutation to transform matter, such as turning stone into gold or fire into ice, far exceeding the limitations and effects of the magic stone's ability to turn stone into gold.
In theory, if Dui's magic power is sufficient, he can transform everything in the universe like a creator god.
Merlin's supreme transformation technique was a treasure to Dui, who was eager to comprehend its profound meaning. However, he knew that he couldn't rush it, so he suppressed his impulse.
At the invitation of Phenaphan, the High King of the Noldor, Dui stayed at the palace to reunite with his wife and children and attend the welcoming banquet Phenaphan hosted for him.
Besides considering Dui as Zeng's grandson-in-law and thus considered family, Dui's Maya-level strength also earned him Fenafen's respect.
Especially now that Dui has comprehended the power of time, his strength has increased even further, far surpassing that of ordinary Maya.
Even Finafin, who was already at the level of a common Maya, couldn't see through Dui's strength at all. He could only feel that Dui was shrouded in an invisible power, mysterious and difficult to fathom.
Upon receiving this information, Fenafen could not treat Dui as a junior, but rather as a distinguished guest of the same social class.
Fenafen hosted a banquet to warmly welcome Dui, with Galadriel, Elrond, and others in attendance.
The banquet was not open to outsiders; it was a family gathering, so the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
It is worth mentioning that Elrond has now come to Valinor and settled in Tyrion with his wife Celebrian. He has been highly valued by Fenaffin and has become one of the lords of Tyrion.
The elves of the Valley still choose to follow Elrond, the former lord of the Valley.
Therefore, Elrond also has a territory under his rule in Tirian, a newly built district named Rivendell in honor of Middle-earth.
When Dui first arrived in Tirian, he had no established base, so he naturally clung to his father-in-law's coattails.
After the banquet, he declined Fernandin's offer to stay and chose to stay temporarily in Rivendell with his wife, Alvin.
In the days that followed, Dui continued to study, absorbing Merlin's supreme transformation techniques and attempting Animagus polymorphism.
He began with the simplest transformations into ordinary animals, and then, under the astonished gazes of Elrond, Galadriel, and the adoring gaze of Elseth, he transformed into a cat, a dog, a wolf, a sparrow, a bull, a horse—
He tried to transform everything, whether it flew in the sky, ran on the ground, or swam in the water.
However, this transformation was not something that could be achieved simply by wishing for it. Instead, Dui meticulously observed various animals one by one, understanding and mastering everything from the inside out, from every hair to every cell, and even the soul, before imitating the animals he observed to transform.
Therefore, it doesn't mean that mastering the supreme transformation technique will allow one to freely transform into various animals. Rather, it requires understanding each animal individually and continuously accumulating a large number of transforming animals in order to achieve diversity in transforming creatures.
It took Dui several years to finally accumulate a collection of variant samples that covered almost all common animals.
From birds and beasts to insects, fish, and animals, Dui could transform almost anything.
He can transform into birds such as eagles, pigeons, swans, magpies, and orioles to soar in the sky, and he can also transform into a lion...
Tigers, elephants, and bulls run on the land, and can also transform into whales, dolphins, sharks, sea snakes, etc. to swim in the sea. They can even turn into small insects such as flies, bees, and mosquitoes to hide among flowers and plants.
After transforming into these ordinary animals, Dui even concealed his magic and soul aura, making him appear like a real animal. Even if a Maya-level being were to examine him closely, they would not be able to detect the disguise.
Dui once transformed into an animal and hid among a group of animals, allowing Galadriel and Fenafin, two Maiar-level beings, to distinguish between the real and the fake, but neither of them could tell at a glance.
Even Gandalf, who came to visit, failed to notice, without being reminded, that the bee collecting nectar on the flower was actually Dui in disguise.
This ability to transform and disguise greatly enhances Dui's ability to hide and protect himself.
After completing the various transformations of ordinary animals, Dui moved on to the more challenging various transformations of magical creatures.
In addition to his original phoenix form, he quickly mastered the ability to transform into dragons, thunderbirds, and basilisks due to his familiarity with them.
