this infinite world

Chapter 152
Even though Voldemort fell, Dumbledore did not let down his vigilance.

No one understands better than Dumbledore the achievements of his favorite student in black magic.When he was still a student at Hogwarts, he could split multiple Horcruxes, and after decades, he got the help of his future daughter, and the mysterious ancient magic that he might learn... All this has made him His magical attainments reached a level that even Dumbledore could not imagine.

Although Dumbledore won the battle just now, it was only Delphi disguised as Voldemort, not Voldemort himself. Magic has [-]% confidence, but if...

"...I have to admit, professor, this magic is really strong."

Voldemort's voice sounded again, and under Dumbledore's shocking gaze, Delphi's limp body on the ground moved slightly twice, and then burst open with a crack, and an intact Delphi crawled out from inside.

"If it weren't for my newly developed magic, then you did kill me once just now."

Like a snake shed its skin, Voldemort moved his new limbs slightly, and looked at Dumbledore mockingly with his slender green vertical pupils: "Then, Professor, for the paper I handed in, you Can you give an 'O' rating?"

Ignoring Voldemort's words, Dumbledore stared closely at Voldemort's new body, and found something was wrong in an instant: "Your body...is getting smaller?"

As soon as Dumbledore said the words, he denied his guess: "No, it's getting younger!"

"It's just some side effects. After all, snakes always need to experience some pain when they shed their skin."

Swiping his pale fingers across the newly born skin, Voldemort said indifferently, "This is new life, it is evolution, it is my new attempt on the road to eternal life...not only the immortality of the soul, but also the evolution of the body. , so far, the effect is good.”

"But you cannot be resurrected from the dead indefinitely." Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on Voldemort's eyes: "This does not comply with the first item of Hohenheim's basic law...Equivalent exchange, you can't break this rule !"

"Indeed, this method of resurrection will not only lead to an irreversible shortening of my lifespan, but also cause me to consume a lot of magic power." Voldemort said casually: "But at present, I am just a soul fragment. Compared with magic, the new magic you used to kill me once must also consume a lot, right?"

"Are you sure you want to use that consuming magic to kill me a few more times, my good professor?"

"You are still a soul fragment now?" After a short shock, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see through the truth and falsehood in Voldemort's words.

"Naturally, otherwise, Professor, do you really think that you can defeat my daughter in such a short period of time?"

Voldemort opened his arms and stretched his body. Even though he had just been killed once, he was still in the cage, but the tone of the Dark Lord was as relaxed as he was in the Slytherin lounge: "Professor, you know Yes, you don’t need to ask where my body is, and I won’t answer you, so let’s talk about something else… like what happened that night.”

"On that night, I, who was confident but arrogant, didn't fully believe what my daughter said. Although I killed Harry Potter first, I didn't expect that the ancient magic of love is not only for mothers and children, but also for children. The reverse can also work.”

"This is the magic of love." Hearing Voldemort take the initiative to talk about the tragedy in Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore's tone could not help but become extremely cold: "And you, once again paid the price for your arrogance .”

"Indeed, this is my old problem, self-confident to the point of arrogance... In the past, I always regarded other people as stupid, but I ignored that even a stupid stupid fool has its own uses .”

Regarding Dumbledore's words, instead of being furious, Voldemort nodded slightly in agreement: "Fortunately, luck is still on my side. A child's love for a mother is not as great as a mother's love for a child... The Killing Curse did not fully bounce back. Instead, there was a big explosion, and while the Potter family was blown to nothing, it also destroyed my body."

"I, who cut off the blood of the Potter family, once again had to abandon my physical body just like the 'I' in Delphi's world line... But fortunately, I still have my most loyal daughter, so I won’t be reduced to a situation where I’m not even as good as a wandering soul.”

"Yes, Father! This is what I live for!"

This time, what came out of Delphi's body was her original voice, and two different voices came back and forth from the same mouth, which sounded a bit weird.

"Ah, yes, thank you, my most devoted daughter."

Voldemort said lazily: "My soul was blown away at that moment and attached to Delphine's body. Fortunately, she is my direct blood and her magic power is strong enough to withstand the possession of my soul." , so that I will not be attached to the back of some stupid wizard's head... Of course, in order to prevent my lovely daughter's life from being shortened, for a long time, I have adopted the method of deep sleep, so that my soul Recover as soon as possible."

"It sounds like your body was attached to your daughter at that time, not the current soul fragment." Dumbledore got the key information from Voldemort's words, and he continued indifferently: "Then what happened later? What happened so that you split your soul again?"

"Because she is my daughter, Voldemort never forgets those who helped him."

Voldemort said relaxedly: "She deserves me to split my soul again. Even though I already know that splitting my soul will not bring me true eternal life, in order to complete my other plan, a temporary sacrifice is necessary... …It so happens that just about a month ago, a dog with a keen sense of smell discovered the fact that Delphi was pretending to be me, and from that moment on, I knew I couldn’t put all my eggs in one basket.”

"I had to do a lot of preparation, a lot of subsequent planning...yes, a lot."

Having said that, Voldemort took half a step back slightly, put his hands behind his back, and kept half of his face in the shadow: "All planning must be done in advance, especially on the side of Severus Snape. It is the most important thing, and we will never allow failure... And to ensure nothing goes wrong, I even went to No. 4 Privet Drive myself."

"4 Privet Drive?"

Dumbledore recalled this slightly familiar place name in his mind, and was surprised to find that this was supposed to be the address where Harry Potter grew up as an adult, his aunt and uncle's house.

A bad premonition rose in Dumbledore's mind: "...What are you doing there?"

"To make sure nothing goes wrong."

Voldemort nodded, as if it was all for granted: "In order to ensure that Severus Snape will not betray me again in the past that has happened and the future that has not yet happened, I must Take out something decisive for his only weakness, to guarantee his absolute loyalty to me..."

"So, I personally went to kill that Muggle sister of Lily Evans, and then magically molded the body into her image to get Severus hooked... and he, in the end, completed my task .”

Saying this, a thin cruel smile was drawn on the corner of Voldemort's mouth. Even Delphi's beautiful face could not conceal the deep malice hidden behind it.

Dumbledore gasped, even he couldn't have imagined that Voldemort would do such a crazy thing.Wanting to deceive Snape, the world-famous master of potions, that Lily Evans is not dead, and the only way to find her blood relatives is to find a way... and thinking of the one who was in Lily Evans when she was in school. , Dumbledore felt a pain in his heart because he yearned for magic and even sent him a letter to ask Petunia Evans.

"Tom, what on earth do you take human life for!"

Dumbledore snapped angrily: "You are sacrificing an innocent life just to complete a scam!"

"Not one, but three. I killed that stupid woman's husband and son... After all, a seven or eight-year-old child can grow so fat. Days." Voldemort looked a little bored and said: "Professor, you know me, since I was in the orphanage, I have hated those bad children who bully others because of their physical strength... Fortunately, in When I realized I was 'different', I became the biggest bad boy."

After saying these words, Voldemort blew the dust off his fingers: "Well, the reminiscence time has been stretched long enough, although I am also curious as to why the kid named Albus Potter didn't die due to the time paradox And disappeared, but I think this puzzle is not difficult to solve..."

"Next, let's get back to business...Are you right, me?"

(Who is he talking to?)

The moment this thought came to Dumbledore's mind, he felt an extremely dangerous feeling coming from behind him, and he activated Apparition almost without thinking, and disappeared from the spot , and suddenly appeared in the open space five meters away, dodging a red spell—then, he finally saw clearly the person who suddenly appeared behind him and launched a sneak attack.

—that was the second Voldemort.

Compared with the noseless bald image that has been in front of everyone for a long time, this Voldemort's image is not that bad. He still has hair, and his appearance looks quite handsome, which is quite similar to his appearance when he was in school... But The outline of this Voldemort is somewhat blurred, and compared to a real person, it is more like an existence between illusion and reality.

"Another Horcrux." Dumbledore looked at the newly-appeared Voldemort, and saw through his reality at a glance, but seeing through the other's real body did not make him relax at all, because the direction of the spell just now was ...

"You're late, 'me'."

The cage built by Dumbledore opened a big hole, and Voldemort, who was wearing Delphine's face, came out leisurely. She did not forget to show a dissatisfied expression, and said to Voldemort later: "It's too late for you to come!" slow."

"There's no way. When Severus Snape put on the crown, he didn't have much vitality left. I have to save some to get here in time."

The second Voldemort is floating in the air, he is more like a ghost than a real person: "And this part of my soul fragment has also been burned by the Fiercefire Curse, and now I can't return to the main body... okay Although there were some mistakes, the general plan was completed."

"Well, plans always fail to keep up with changes..."

Voldemort shrugged his shoulders boredly, and turned his gaze back to Dumbledore, who was facing a formidable enemy: "Then, Professor, it's two-on-one now... Do you think we have the ability to keep you here forever?" Woolen cloth?"

"No, it's two against two."

"Stay focused, Albus."

A familiar voice sounded beside Dumbledore. Although the voice was much older, Dumbledore recognized the owner of the voice in an instant. The long neck made a "click" sound...

There, Gellert Grindelwald was standing beside him.

"Gellert, how could you..."

Even Dumbledore couldn't believe his eyes at this moment. Why did Grindelwald, who had been sitting withered in Nurmengard, appear in Azkaban at this critical moment?

"Tianmu, don't forget, I'm still a master prophecy, and your so-called defensive magic can't stop me." Grindelwald smiled, and there was a hint of cunning in that smile: "Fortunately, I came It's not too late."

After a brief conversation, the two old men looked at the two Voldemorts opposite, and the two Voldemorts also exchanged glances at the same time.

"Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore... It's not in the plan to face the greatest white wizard and the original Dark Lord of this century at the same time." The second Voldemort looked at himself The wand that belonged to Snape in his hand, threw it to the latter: "What to do, 'me'?"

"There's no way, we can only retreat here first." Voldemort caught the wand, sighed, and then outlined four or five runes in the air.The moment the rune appeared in the air, it emitted a fierce light, and then turned into an ice-blue door that could be passed by one person.

"Want to escape?"

When the door was formed, Grindelwald realized the intentions of the two people opposite Dumbledore one step earlier than Dumbledore beside him, and he took a step forward, swung his wand sharply, and the Fiercefire Curse, which he was best at, instantly It took shape and swept towards the two people on the opposite side!

"Just save the fun of the reunion for another time."

But what shocked Grindelwald was that Voldemort, who had the appearance of Delphine, just carved a few runes with his wand again. When these runes met Fiercefire, the flames swept back and shrunk... Finally, in the On the tip of Grindelwald's staff, it disappeared again.

Even Grindelwald looked at the tip of his wand in shock. He had never seen this way of destroying the Fiercefire Curse before, it was just like...

"Time magic?"

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's wand in astonishment, and at Voldemort, who was covering his mouth and coughing at the moment: "Tom, you...is this ancient magic?"

"Oh...professor, you really deserve to be the one who knows ancient magic."

The second Voldemort has already penetrated into the portal one step ahead, and Voldemort with the appearance of Delphi heard Dumbledore's words, straightened up and smiled: "Yes, the wind corresponds to time, and it flows endlessly... ...This is the basic law of alchemy, and all the mysteries of ancient magic are hidden in it."

"Then, Professor, the windmill is about to turn again..."

At the end of entering the portal, Voldemort lifted his skirt and saluted Dumbledore like a real noble lady.

"We, see you then."
