The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 537: Destruction Soul Fragment
In the golden sunset, Ryan stepped onto the stage holding the Hufflepuff's golden cup. He could feel that the defense on the cup was not complicated, but it had a lot of hidden magic. If Ryan hadn't known in advance that the golden cup was Voldemort's Horcrux, he might have thought it was just an ancient and precious alchemical tool.

This should also be a way to hide the Horcrux, if Bellatrix had not worshipped Voldemort as a god and placed the gift he bestowed in the most dazzling position. Ryan felt that it would be difficult for him to find this palm-sized golden cup among the treasures in the warehouse.

Everything that happened next was just like when Ryan destroyed the soul in the crown with the help of Teacher Luo Zhen in the fourth grade, except that this time, Ryan himself had the ability to do it all independently.

At the same time, the altar Ryan was using now was also the result of integrating and organizing what he had learned after acquiring a lot of knowledge. So this time, it was not necessary for Teacher Luo Zhen to use the alchemy array to get the soul fragments out and then summon the thunder to destroy them like before. Now this altar combines the effects of alchemy and thunder magic, and can provide a one-stop service for Voldemort's residual soul, from driving out the Horcruxes to breaking them apart with thunder.

As the light on the altar flowed quickly along with the runes, the consumables previously placed on it floated up one after another, making crackling sounds, and finally all turned into powder and burned with little golden flames.

Under the command of Ryan's magic wand, a large number of golden flames began to interweave and merge on the altar, covering the golden cup in the center of the altar. When all the flames merged into one, the entire top layer of the altar was completely filled with golden flames, and from a distance it looked like a jumping bonfire. Under the burning of the golden flames, a trace of ominous black air emerged from the golden cup.

Dumbledore stared at the black mist with wide eyes, and even took out the Elder Wand from his bosom. However, the black mist failed to break through the magical defense of the altar, but was forced out of the Horcrux step by step by the golden light. Finally, a black mist ball with a diameter of more than one meter formed above the altar, with two blood-red snake-like eyes on it.

"You..." Just as the black shadow hissed like a venomous snake and was about to threaten something, Ryan raised the magic wand in his hand and pointed it at the sky and said: "Great God of Law and Order, your blue body is ten thousand feet tall. Your Qi rushes into the cloud formation, and your voice shakes the thunder--"

Dumbledore, who was standing nearby, had been staring at the soul of Voldemort nervously. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and he felt the surroundings darken. Looking up, Dumbledore saw that the sky, which had only a few scattered clouds just now, was now covered with black clouds. There were also purple lightning bolts drilling in and out of the clouds like devil vines.

"——The sect's spirit is spreading, and the teachings are spreading. Hurry up and obey the command." At this time, Ryan recited the last spell, and a vortex formed in the center of the dark clouds in the sky. A purple lightning bolt as thick as an arm rushed straight to the altar, and under Dumbledore's gaze, it hit the mist that Voldemort's soul had turned into.

Just a bolt of lightning split the fog apart by at least 1/3. A shrill cry rang out in the souls of Ryan and Dumbledore, but it had no killing power on the two.

Ryan continued to point his wand to the sky. Three seconds later, a thicker lightning than the previous one struck the black mist formed by Voldemort's residual soul. Even though the residual souls had consciously compressed their volume and released layers of gray-black mist to prepare for defense, the purple lightning still easily tore through all the defenses and struck the residual souls.

In Dumbledore's sight, the purple lightning bolts, thicker and stronger than the last, repeatedly struck the remnant soul of Voldemort that had been forced out of the Horcrux. Each bolt of lightning could cause a great deal of damage to the remnant soul. After more than a dozen bolts of lightning, with the last scream, the remnant soul of Voldemort was completely annihilated.

After all the lightning struck, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the shining stars inlaid in the velvety black night sky. It turned out that the sun had set while destroying the remaining soul of Voldemort.

Ryan walked up to the altar and took down the golden cup. Even though the entire altar was charred by the thunder, the golden cup was still protected by magic without any damage. After he roughly checked and confirmed that Voldemort's residual soul had completely disappeared from the cup, he walked down the altar and held the golden cup in both hands and handed it to Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Very well done, even better than I thought. I thought I had to destroy this treasure left by the founder." After taking the golden cup and tapping it with the Elder Wand, Dumbledore said in an approving tone. "I must admit that even I can't do it as perfectly as it is now. It's a pity that your alchemy teacher can't come out to help us." "Yes, he can't come out to help, after all, he is not in our world." Ryan said in a low voice. It is obvious that Dumbledore misunderstood Mr. Luo Zhen's condition after confirming that Ryan was telling the truth. He comforted him: "Death is just another great adventure. You don't have to be sad about it-"

"..." Ryan didn't know what to say, because he really couldn't explain the truth to the headmaster. He simply stood there in silence as if he agreed with Dumbledore's statement.

"Okay, we can go back now. It's really uncomfortable to stay on this wet and cold island." After that, a ball of fire flashed, and the phoenix Fawkes appeared in front of them again and took them back to the principal's office at Hogwarts.

After returning to the headmaster's office, Dumbledore first locked the Hufflepuff cup in a cabinet, then returned to his seat and asked, "I saw that you did a great job removing the soul of Voldemort from the cup today. Can you tell me what you think is the biggest difficulty in removing the soul from Harry's head?"

"Hmm..." Ryan thought for a while at the table, then looked at Dumbledore and opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"You can say what you want to say. We are just having an academic discussion now, and we don't need to be affected by other factors. I swear I will not tell anyone anything you say here, and I will not have any bad thoughts about you because of what you say." Dumbledore saw Ryan's hesitation, so he made a promise. Because he knew that when facing the top black magic props such as Horcruxes, trying to solve the troubles it brought was likely to involve some bad aspects.

"I need to know how to make a Horcrux." Ryan leaned back in his chair after saying this. He hadn't said it before because he was worried that Dumbledore would regard him as an evil person like Voldemort, but after getting Dumbledore's assurance, he still said this key point. Because although Dumbledore would take advantage of others' misfortunes to sign unequal treaties, he was indeed a man of his words.

"Through these two experiments to destroy Horcruxes, I found that I was stuck in a bottleneck. Since I don't know the specific situation of the Horcruxes, I can't make targeted preparations. When facing dead objects like the crown or the golden cup, I can still use magic to penetrate and squeeze out the soul of the mysterious person from the Horcrux after studying the alchemical props. However, if the Horcrux is a living thing, infusing magic will only kill them." Ryan frankly stated the current problem. "If I know how to make a Horcrux, I should be able to develop a set of targeted expulsion plans, so as not to harm the carrier of the Horcrux."

After listening to this, Dumbledore lowered his head and thought for a long time before asking in a tired tone, "Can you guarantee that you will not be attracted by this method and go astray? Because I don't want to create a new Dark Lord by myself."

"Of course I can promise that." Ryan nodded, "I can understand your concerns, Headmaster, but I heard from Ron that there is a magical contract in the wizarding world called the Unbreakable Vow, which is absolutely impossible to violate. You can sign a contract with me to ensure that I will not make a Horcrux."

"I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be taking on this at your age." Dumbledore said word by word. "And doing this would show that I don't trust you very much, but I do need a guarantee."

"I am willing to use this method to make a guarantee." Ryan bowed and saluted solemnly. "In order to save innocent lives, many sacrifices are completely acceptable."
