Chapter 422 Soul Authority
This method seems cold and ruthless, full of exploitation and enslavement of house-elves.
However, these house-elves are not normal natural creations in essence, and their souls come from orcs. Dui used magic to make them forget their original memories and remove their violent, bloodthirsty, and cruel characteristics.
Therefore, Dui had no pity for these house-elves who were essentially half-orcs.
After creating four house-pockets, Dui stopped.
He left the laboratory with his four house-elves and went downstairs to the lounge.
"Dad!" Elses and Ellos's eyes lit up when they saw him come downstairs, and they ran over happily to hug him.
However, upon seeing the four small, unidentified creatures behind him, he stopped abruptly, staring at them with curiosity and confusion.
"Dad, what are these creatures? We've never seen them before!"
Alvin asked in surprise, "Duir, what are these?"
"These are magical creatures I created. They possess certain spellcasting abilities and are house-elves specifically designed to serve us," Dui explained. "Once they pledge allegiance to their master, they will obey all commands and will never betray you. It's just right that we each have one house-elf, which will be your most loyal servant."
"House elves? Them?" Elses and Ellos looked disgusted and skeptical. As half-elves, they felt that these strange-looking creatures did not fit their aesthetic at all.
Even Alvin's expression was somewhat strange.
Seeing the disgusted looks on his wife and children's faces, Dui explained with a smile, "These house-elves are not the same as elves. If you don't like them, you can give them different names."
He called himself that name simply out of habit, and mainly because house-elves also have some elven blood genes in their bodies, and orcs are said to have originated from those elves who were tortured and twisted by Morgoth.
Therefore, these domesticated elves, created from orc flesh, elven blood, and orc souls, are indeed related to the elven race when traced back to their origins.
In the end, Alwen, Elses, and Ellos accepted the gift from their husband/father. Alwen and Ellos both chose female house-elves and named them Elano and Neve.
Elseth chose the remaining male house-elf and named him Tyr.
Once named, the house-elf completes a magical contract with its owner and obeys the owner's commands.
Even Dui, the one who created them, could not give them orders over the shoulders of their master.
Therefore, Ellos and Elseth now have a loyal servant by their side. They will secretly stay by their master's side, take care of their daily life, and protect their safety.
If faced with a life-or-death crisis, they will not hesitate to stand in front of their master or help their master escape danger.
Despite her slight dislike for the house-elves' appearance, Ellos still dressed them in exquisite ladies' dresses, making them look glamorous.
The gentle and kind Alvin, despite knowing from her husband that the souls of these house-elves were essentially half-orcs, still felt a pang of pity for them and prepared separate rooms for them, without any intention of abusing them.
However, the castle did undergo a change after the arrival of house-elves.
The castle is cleaned spotlessly every day, and every glass window, statue, armor, and portrait is polished until it shines.
Dui and his companions had no worries about their food, clothing, shelter, or transportation; they truly lived a life of ease where everything was provided for them.
The professors and students in the castle often see these house-elves.
After learning that these house-elves were created by the headmaster, they felt even greater reverence for them.
After all, they had witnessed these house-elves firsthand. They were like natural-born magical geniuses, casting spells without a wand more powerfully than they could with one. Moreover, in Hogwarts, which was immune to Apparate, they could teleport at will.
The headmaster's ability to create such powerful magical creatures is nothing short of divine, leaving them in awe.
Moreover, this is different from the previous creation of fire dragons, basilisks, and pegasus. The previous methods of creating new life were essentially about creating a different kind of magical creature through magical hybridization and magical modification.
This time, Dui used lifeless blood, flesh, and bones to create a powerful intelligent creature. This method of reversing life and death shocked even the professors with profound magical knowledge.
After all, in their eyes, only Ilúvatar, who created elves and humans, Auli, the god of craftsmen who created dwarves, Yavanna, the goddess of plants who created treants, and Morgoth, who created dragons and other dark creatures, could create life in this way.
Their headmaster was able to create a wise and magical race like house-elves, placing them on par with the god of craftsmen, Auril, the goddess of plants, and Morgoth.
However, Dui knew his own limitations. Although his bio-alchemy was miraculous and could imbue life with vitality, and he himself had become a Maya-level being, it was impossible for him to truly create life.
Especially the most important thing in life, the soul, Dui simply couldn't create, and had to use the souls of orcs to accomplish it.
Or rather, in the entire Middle-earth, the only being truly capable of creating life is the creator god Ilúvatar.
Like the dwarves created by Aulius, the god of craftsmen, and the tree people created by Yavanna, the goddess of plants, they were initially just "creations" without souls. Ultimately, they were given souls by Ilúvatar and became races with independent wills.
The core of the soul originates from Ilúvatar's unique "Unquenchable Flame," the key force that grants life free will and true consciousness.
Even Morgoth, the most powerful of the Valar, did not have the ability to create souls; he could only distort the life created by Ilúvatar. The orcs, trolls, and other races under his command were all transformed through this distortion.
That is why Morgoth coveted Ilúvatar's "Unquenchable Flame," and attempted to find it in the Void in order to create his own race of life, but ultimately he found nothing.
Dui didn't crave to create souls; he simply wanted to use bio-alchemy to create magical creatures unique to the Harry Potter world.
After creating house-elves, Dui seemed to be inspired to continue his bio-alchemy.
He came to Mount Doom in Mordor, and using the volcano's last remaining power, he combined the flames from the volcano's core with a drop of his own blood and a phoenix feather, and used an alchemy array to gather immense fire elemental power to create a phoenix.
This phoenix is more like the phoenix in Harry Potter, only the size of a swan. Although it also possesses magical abilities and can be reborn from the ashes, it is a completely different creature from the phoenix that Dui transformed into.
This is similar to the difference between a giant dragon and a fire dragon, or even greater.
Then Dui used the fire from the ground to create another phoenix.
Two phoenixes, one male and one female, make a perfect pair and can reproduce.
The birth of the two phoenixes completely exhausted the last of Volcano Doomsday's power, causing the volcano to fall silent prematurely and become a dormant volcano.
