Hagrid loved magical creatures, but judging by his life experiences, it was clear there was a reason he wasn't adept at handling the wizarding world.
Humans are creatures that don't know how to live without dividing themselves into 'us' and 'them.' Given Hagrid's half-giant heritage, one could imagine his experiences on campus.
Perhaps Hagrid felt more at ease when interacting with magical creatures.
And it was precisely because he spent so much time with magical creatures that Hagrid could feel it more acutely.
'Intelligence' in this world is by no means exclusive to humans and humanoids!
Even creatures without human faces or heads, or even arthropod magical creatures like spiders, possessed considerable intelligence.
Not to mention legendary beings like dragons, griffins, phoenixes, and unicorns.
Even many dark magic creatures had impressive intelligence.
They also possessed the ability to interfere with magic power using their minds, but because their numbers were not as vast as humans, they hadn't caused significant impact.
Throughout the world's past history, the number of 'primordial species' born from thought has always been small; creating them required various fortunate circumstances.
Most magical creatures in the wizarding world were either born from later-stage hybridization, like Blast-Ended Skrewts, or were products of artificial creation using magic, like Dementors.
But with Dimensional Magic: Conceptual Creation, everything changed.
Under the guidance of Conceptual Creation, the 'mental power' required to create a new magical creature would be greatly reduced.
If Roger alone could create Dream Shadows, what if the thoughts of a large number of magical creatures converged?
"Although the thoughts of magical creatures are not as active as humans', they are quite simple and focused. Whether good or bad, once they decide on something, they rarely change."
Hagrid spoke of his insights into magical creatures with a hint of emotion.
"So, as long as you can make all the magical creatures believe in you, then..."
At that moment, Roger recalled the 'path to godhood' he had witnessed when he first encountered the magical world, something considered impossible.
The ritual to unify the globe, control the minds of all Muggles, all wizards, all magical creatures, and create an artificial god!
By using the power of Conceptual Creation for amplification, it seemed that simply unifying the will of all magical creatures could create a 'God of Magical Creatures.'
Of course, this so-called God of Magical Creatures would certainly not be comparable to the transcendent gods Roger had in mind. According to Roger's estimation, it would be at most capable of destroying a country.
The reason for calling such a weak entity a god was purely due to its potential for growth. As the population of magical creatures expanded, it could continuously become stronger, perhaps one day truly becoming a 'He.'
"Hagrid, this idea of yours is even more dangerous than the last one."
The "last one" referred to Hagrid's interest in miniature magical creatures, which ultimately resulted in weak, green-skinned mushroom people without the boost of the 'Power of Thought.'
"Ah... is it? But I really think this thing is incredibly cool."
Half-giants, wizards, Muggles, and even non-magical creatures' cats and dogs actually share a cognitive inertia.
That is, when there is someone backing them, and when there is no one backing them, they exhibit two entirely different states.
So Snape, Dumbledore, Harry, and even Hagrid before him, after realizing that with a Seer covering their backs, no matter what they did, they couldn't cause too much trouble, they all started to let loose to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially Hagrid; Roger's actions made him completely cast aside all his worries and act solely for the things that interested him most.
Because if he were to touch something he shouldn't, the Seer would foresee it and stop him.
Just like the Fear Demon before.
Roger did not deny Hagrid's words: "This is indeed quite interesting. In terms of potential, its development prospects are extraordinary, but don't forget."
"On our blue planet behind us, Muggles have always been the main theme of the world, and in the supernatural world, wizards are the supreme leaders."
"If things go according to your idea, some people will definitely realize the potential of this method, and they might even join in the breeding and artificial population expansion of magical creatures."
At this point, Roger paused, his expression becoming serious: "And some more extreme individuals might even try their best to increase the intelligence of various magical creatures in order to make the power brought by Conceptual Creation even stronger."
"With intelligence, and with the help of Conceptual Creation, they will also have power."
"Then, what do you think the magical creatures will think when they look at the wizards who are high above?"
Roger thought of the thoughts of two powerful individuals when they saw the Emperor during the newly unified period in the East, and a smile appeared on his lips: "To put it bluntly, aren't wizards themselves magical creatures who have evolved from Muggles?"
"What's the difference between that and 'us' who have transformed based on other beings?"
Roger never stopped others without giving a reason. When he truly acted, he always communicated with all parties.
The restraint you achieve through violence or shifting blame is not true cessation; it merely suppresses some nascent tendencies. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Some things cannot be suppressed.
It's like Yu the Great controlling the floods; blocking is not as good as channeling. Only when the other party genuinely accepts you will that 'momentum' dissipate.
"This..." Listening to Roger's words, Hagrid, whose thoughts had always been confined to the realm of magical creatures, broke out in a cold sweat even in his sleep, his body on Earth feeling it.
But Roger's words were not finished: "Even if I keep the technology firmly in my hands and don't spread it, it will be useless."
"Once I start focusing on magical creatures and show a tendency, and it becomes known to the world, some 'clever people' will definitely start playing tricks, and everything I've described will still happen."
Here, Roger actually held back one point, as it involved the diffusion of the Three-Dimensional Law, which was crucial to his path.
If a vast number of magical creatures gained extremely high intelligence, would they... also choose the Three-Dimensional Law?!
Roger's set of methods was not exclusive to humans. To be precise, any sentient being, even a Muggle, could cultivate in their own way.
It was simply a matter of replacing the magical elements with AI or biotechnology, just taking a more circuitous route than magic.
If the magical creatures also chose this path, and it wasn't the choice of individual creatures but a collective choice of the entire magical creature population, then...
At that time, humanity would likely face not an internal conflict between wizards and Muggles, in the strictest sense of the term.
But a racial ascension competition between humanoid species and beasts! What kind of terrifying scene would the world face at that moment? Roger didn't know.
He also had no intention of touching this Pandora's Box for now.
Perhaps after he became strong enough to cover any eventuality, Roger would do something from a position of strategic advantage.
But for now, Roger's choice was to stop Hagrid's bold idea.
"Alright," Hagrid looked a bit dejected.
But Roger knew that Hagrid had completely taken his advice.
Hagrid had suffered a severe setback during his time as a student at Hogwarts. Although the main culprit was Voldemort, who was then Tom Riddle, his own rule violations were undeniable.
That kind of blow made Hagrid always able to admit and correct his mistakes promptly in his later life.
Suffering is suffering, but an experience can truly affect a person's entire life.
Although this influence was often not a good one.
"Speaking of which, regarding the magical creature you newly created, 'Dream Shadow,' I originally had something I wanted to discuss with you," Hagrid looked at Roger, his tone still dejected.
"But after hearing what you just said, I feel that some of my ideas might be too immature."
"I know some methods that might make Dream Shadow stronger."
When Hagrid first heard about the existence of Dream Shadow from Dumbledore, he realized.
Without Conceptual Creation, Hagrid could also use some acquired methods to strengthen Dream Shadow, enhance its power, and allow it to develop more uses.
He wanted to share these methods with Roger.
"But now..." Looking at it now, Hagrid felt that instead of enhancing Dream Shadow's power, perhaps the first step should be to limit its development.
Dream Shadow, a species born from a wizard's thoughts and dreams, was too close to the essence of wizards, with almost identical appearances and direct connection to a wizard's mind.
Although its self-awareness was almost non-existent, who knew if a special individual might spontaneously mutate? For example, if a Dream Shadow possessing Grindelwald's thoughts and knowledge were born from Grindelwald's thoughts, and it could exist independently.
Ugh, just thinking about it made Hagrid feel a chill.
Perhaps, as Roger did now, creating it for immediate use and letting it die after use, making Dream Shadow a completely disposable item, was a safer way to use the Dream Shadow ritual.
There was no need for him to add anything unnecessary.
Adding something to a snake would be like adding legs to a dragon, completely contradicting the original purpose, wouldn't it? Hagrid liked magical creatures, but like everyone else's preferences, Hagrid's liking had its biases.
He preferred those imposing and incredible species. In Hagrid's eyes, the terror of the Three-Headed Dog and dragons was "cute."
But Hagrid wouldn't abandon right and wrong because of this. Having been with Dumbledore for so many years, Hagrid possessed at least a basic sense of public responsibility.
...Well, his sense of responsibility was like Schrödinger's cat, often in a state of quantum superposition.
However, in front of Roger, whom he respected as a Seer, Hagrid always wanted to show his better side. This superposition state was now determined.
Hagrid shared his new thoughts on Dream Shadow with Roger.
Roger nodded in agreement after listening: "It's good that you could think of this."
Besides the limited power, what Hagrid said was indeed something Roger had considered when creating Dream Shadow.
That was why he chose to make Dream Shadow extremely fast to grow and fast to die.
Hearing his affirmation, Roger could feel the cheerful emotions emanating from Hagrid.
This gentle giant with a tall frame was like that; his emotions came and went quickly, and he didn't let worries linger in his heart for too long.
In fact, Hagrid's remarks were not without help to Roger.
Roger was not a god and could overlook things. His thinking time was limited; when he was thinking about one problem, the progress on another problem would often stagnate.
That's why he wanted to spread the Three-Dimensional Law, to make everyone in the world a part of his thought matrix, borrowing the power of all beings as a boost on the path to Eternal Life.
"Population..." Hagrid's words gave Roger new thoughts on Conceptual Creation.
For example, artificially cultivating a group of people with similar thinking patterns to jointly promote this Dimensional Magic would surely be more effective than a crowd with scattered ideas.
And Roger had a ready-made group of people with similar thinking.
"Time Plague, the Alaya will of self across time and space."
In this world, were there any people whose thoughts were more similar than 'self and self'?!
