Chapter 302: Kukulcan Awakens
Lazily sprawled in her snake nest, Kulkan's neck hung over the edge with her head dangling below, half-dead as she said to Sean: "Sean, got any food? The kind full of magical power."
"I have some fresh meat and blood, barely. Want it or not?"
"I guess that'll do. At least it's something to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Sean lightly tapped the table, and immediately a house-elf appeared in the room with some fresh meat and blood. These were from some low-level magical creatures, containing a bit of magical power. Though they couldn't compare at all to medium or high-level magical creatures, they were definitely much better than ordinary animal flesh.
Kulkan wriggled down from her nest like a giant maggot, came to Sean's desk, and collapsed on the tray, lying there taking small bites of the meat and blood.
Seeing Kulkan's state, Sean sighed helplessly: "You're going to die of laziness. Just woke up and already acting like this. All that food you ate before went straight to waste."
"Hey, now I have to refute that." Swallowing the remaining meat and blood in one gulp, Kulkan coiled up her body and said solemnly to Sean: "Before, I just kept asking for your help. Now I can properly explain things to you.
I was born in the jungles of Brazil, specifically in the jungle near Castelobruxo. The owner of the magical creature shop in Diagon Alley found me there when he went to Castelobruxo and brought me to England.
What was enshrined in that Mayan pyramid was the remnant of a Feathered Serpent God's descendant. Though called a Feathered Serpent God, it was actually just a very powerful magical creature from ancient times.
The Feathered Serpent God was named Kukulkan. A magical creature with a serpent body, wings, and claws. It could summon wind and rain, release thunder, make plants flourish, and also change size. Do you have any guesses from this?"
Hearing Kulkan's words, Sean narrowed his eyes slightly: "Occamys and Thunderbirds are continuations of the Feathered Serpent God? And you, like Occamys and Thunderbirds, are all descendants of the Feathered Serpent God?"
"You're right, but not completely. I'm different from Occamys and Thunderbirds. Though I only have very diluted bloodline inheritance in my body, what I carry is genuine Feathered Serpent God blood. Occamys and Thunderbirds are actually subspecies or variants that have continued through generations of bloodline inheritance. Even Mountain Troll Dragons are an infinitely distant branch of the Feathered Serpent God bloodline continuation.
That vertebra was a remnant of the last Feathered Serpent God, containing the true blood of the Feathered Serpent God within. This vertebra was a key. A key to unlock bloodline inheritance and ancestral reversion. Having devoured this vertebra and then the Occamy and Thunderbird, I have now truly embarked on the path of ancestral reversion."
"Ancestral reversion? To what extent?"
"Since I devoured the Occamy and Thunderbird, so..." Kulkan's body slowly expanded while three pairs of pristine white wings, one large pair and two smaller pairs, extended from her back. The scales on her head became thick and sharp, stretching out like horn material to form a crown-like shape. At this moment, Kulkan flew in a circle around Sean's room, stirring up a breeze and emanating wisps of electrical current as she said to Sean: "Generally speaking, I've gained the abilities of Occamys and Thunderbirds. How's that? Envious?"
Looking at the showing-off Kulkan, Sean's expression became somewhat strange.
Taking up his wand, Sean waved it lightly. The wind in the room suddenly strengthened threefold, continuously circling and blowing around the room. Just as Kulkan was feeling surprised, Sean waved his wand again, and a trace of electrical current was drawn from the wand's tip, gently jumping twice in the room before slowly disappearing.
"This is impossible!"
Kulkan looked at Sean in shock, exclaiming it was impossible. She had always been with Sean and naturally knew roughly what abilities he had, so she was certain that before her slumber, Sean definitely didn't have the ability to summon wind and thunder!
"Sean, what's going on?"
"You can understand it as... a blessing from the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan."
"???"
What the hell?
A blessing from the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan?
The Feathered Serpent God's name did indeed contain "god", but it was actually just a magical creature.
Blessing?
If this thing really had that kind of power, then it wouldn't just have "god" in its name. It would be a true god. And who could make a true god extinct!
"Sean, you're fooling me!"
"I'm not. I just said you could understand it as the Feathered Serpent God's blessing. I didn't say it really was the Feathered Serpent God's blessing. There's still some difference there."
"Forget it. You never tell the truth anyway."
"The key is, even if I told the truth, you wouldn't believe it."
Rolling her eyes at Sean, Kulkan returned to her original white snake form and lay in her nest, ignoring him.
Glancing at Kulkan, Sean said nothing more and continued reading.
The current Kulkan was no longer so desperate for food containing powerful magic. Normal food was now sufficient, which was thanks to the Occamy and Thunderbird she had devoured earlier. Two XXXX-rated powerful magical creatures. The magical power they contained had already carried Kulkan through the growth period that required large amounts of magically powered food.
The next day, Saturday.
Early in the morning, Sean got up and had breakfast with Blaise and the others.
When they finished breakfast and came to the entrance hall, many people had already gathered there.
In the centre of the entrance hall was the Goblet of Fire, placed on the same stool used for the Sorting Hat during the opening ceremony. On the floor was a circle of thin golden lines surrounding the Goblet of Fire and stool in the centre.
A group of people sat around, discussing the central Goblet of Fire.
Blaise came to the side of those Slytherin students and asked quietly: "Has anyone succeeded?"
"Someone from Durmstrang put their name in. Came early this morning to do it. But no one from our Hogwarts has put their name in yet."
Just as they were asking.
The Weasley twins from Gryffindor came noisily charging into the entrance hall, with their friend Lee Jordan following beside them.
"Done!"
"What's done?"
"Ageing Potion!"
Blaise looked at the Ageing Potion the Weasley twins held up, immediately turning to ask Sean: "Sean, you know about Ageing Potion, right? Can that thing get past Dumbledore's Age Line?"
Looking at Blaise with disdain, Sean said: "Are you stupid? The Ageing Potion is just student-level potion work. Do you think that thing can get past Dumbledore's magic?"
"Then those Gryffindor twins..."
"Just being self-important. Just wait and watch the show."
Saying this, Sean sat in a nearby chair, waiting to watch the excitement on the Gryffindor side.
