In the headmaster's office, Grindelwald and Nicolas joined after 15 minutes.
"HAHAHAHA, Albus, look at yourself! Nico, have a look at him, HAHAHAHA!"
"Gellert, believe it or not, when I become an adult again, I'll turn you into a toad!"
"Oh, how scared I am! Little Albus is threatening me."
"Alright, Gellert, stop mocking him. Asmodeus called us for a reason other than this."
*Sound of a flash*
"And this is for my memory."
Grindelwald: "....."
Dumbledore: "..."
Asmodeus: "....."
"Ahem, Asmodeus, where is that potion? Give it to me!"
"Nico, you know, Albus's situation is a bit special. I don't think you'll get younger too..."
"Yeah, I know. I just want to become as strong as the druids."
"Fine, here's yours. And this is yours, Grindelwald. Drink it right here; I'm curious about the effects on you."
"Let me be the first, old man."
"As you wish."
Grindelwald opened the potion and drank.
Unlike Asmodeus and similar to Albus, changes began immediately for Grindelwald.
His eye, used for predictions, started to glow. But this light didn't stay in place. Gradually, the light from his eye began moving towards his forehead. Grindelwald began screaming in pain as another eye socket formed right in the center of his forehead, and in it, another eye grew. This eye was golden, as if seeing through you.
"Gellert, are you okay?"
"Yes, just my head splitting with pain."
"Um, you're now..."
"What am I?"
Nicolas took a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to Grindelwald.
"What the hell! Am I now a three-eyed freak?! What happened to my beautiful face!"
In the reflection, Grindelwald saw his face, but unlike his previous appearance, now a golden-eyed eye shone right in the middle of his forehead.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. I think we can hide it..." Before Asmodeus could finish, he saw that the third eye closed, leaving no trace.
"Well, that seems good..."
To check Albus and Grindelwald's condition, Asmodeus discreetly touched both of them.

The eye of the soothsayer - consuming 100 mana points per minute allows seeing the future, maximum controlled prediction duration is 5 minutes into the future. In case of danger in the next 10 years, there is a chance to invoke a prophecy.
Third Eye Sense - allows predicting imminent danger, passive ability."
"Fascinating..." Asmodeus thought to himself.
Looking at the new data for Grindelwald and Dumbledore, Asmodeus is unsure who is currently stronger.
Dumbledore's Nirvana, while granting him immortality, doesn't offer a significant combat advantage besides the ability to transform into a phoenix. On the contrary, Grindelwald acquired an ideal combat ability, especially his unique version of Spider Sense.
But his contemplation was interrupted by the sound of an opening lid.
It was Nicolas, who started drinking his potion.
Judging by Nicolas's screams, his transformation was the most painful. His body twisted in every way, and alchemical implants gradually surfaced. After half an hour, Nicolas had completely changed.
Now he looked more like a Necron from the Warhammer universe.
Tall stature, lean body, eyes glowing with a blue hue, and two extra arms made of alchemical implants protruding on each side.
"Nicolas, are you... okay?"
"Yes..." Nicolas replied with a hoarse and tired voice.
Asmodeus approached Nicolas and helped him sit in the chair.

Legacy of Alchemists - a passive skill, allows assimilating knowledge of alchemy from any world three times faster."
Looking at Nicolas's stats, Asmodeus first instructed him on how to halt the transformation and then pondered. It seems that Nicolas is now the strongest among the elderly present. Moreover, he is not just a wizard; he can enter the state of a four-armed warrior. Very interesting changes. Asmodeus decided to inquire with the system.
"System, why are the changes in others so significant externally, while I only have internal changes?"
"Ding, the host has previously acquired the Elementalization skill. If you had not acquired it separately, during the potion intake, you would have gained this skill, although it would have been weakened."
"Alright..."
After finishing the conversation with the system, Asmodeus returned to reality.
"Well, old folks, I've finished what I wanted to do. I'll let you figure out your new abilities on your own. By the way, Grindelwald, while Dumbledore is in this state, either you or Nicolas will have to take his place..."
Asmodeus said and made his escape.
He needs to accumulate enough points over the next three months because his academy will complete construction, and his plan will enter its second stage. Asmodeus has to prepare for the emergence of a large number of wizards in the world. Although magical rings allow Muggles to become wizards, that's not what Asmodeus wants. He understands that among Muggles, there will always be those who resist the magical transformation of the world. Additionally, he wants to undermine the influence of Muggle magnates who are about to enter the Elysium Academy.
Thanks to the system, Asmodeus can purchase a world-level upgrade ticket. This will bring additional magic to the world, and due to the magic, electronics on the planet will gradually begin to fail. According to Asmodeus's calculations, when the magic density across the globe exceeds 1.2 points, electronics worldwide will collapse. Computers, machines, military equipment, and anything with even a hint of electronics will break. Currently, the magic density in the world ranges from 0.45 to 0.80 in places with a high concentration of wizards.
Having purchased a world-level upgrade, the magic level worldwide would instantly increase by 1 point, leading to a mass rejection of electronics globally. Muggles are unaware that the denser magical energy becomes, the fewer options they have for resistance. Even the Muggle elites who joined Asmodeus are ignorant of this fact. They only know that the magic density in the world is gradually rising, allowing more wizards to be born than before. Asmodeus doesn't disclose this to the Muggle elite for one simple reason—ambitions.
Asmodeus knows that the ambitions of the former Muggle elite won't stop at merely entering the magical world, opening banks, etc. That's just the beginning. Muggle governments would want to start interfering in the management of wizarding affairs and replace the current Ministries of Magic in various countries with their regular governments. Asmodeus doesn't want this. He is trying to build a world where people will rely on their abilities, not connections. Thus, governments as such are not needed, and small organizations responsible for street security, like the Ministry of Magic, are sufficient enough.
Muggles were useful as long as they financed the construction of the academy and allowed it to happen right under their noses, but now...
Asmodeus, of course, won't get rid of or intentionally kill this Muggle elite. He simply won't give them all the information. According to his plan, once the academy construction is complete, he will upgrade the world level. While not all Muggles will become wizards, it will increase the number of natural wizards and weaken the Muggles. Asmodeus understands that his actions will lead to significant losses and catastrophes, but he has long prepared for this.
Returning to his bedroom, Asmodeus fell asleep.
Upon waking up, the most terrifying three months in Hogwarts' history began. Asmodeus haphazardly completed tasks, achievements, and more, accumulating many points so that right after raising the world level, he could upgrade himself.
