Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 499 For world peace, let's unite the whole world!

“I’m not playing a trick on you, Miravia… I have my reasons, and there are many things I can’t tell you right now,” Li Weide said helplessly.

There are reasons, but they can't explain much, so other reasons are used to cover up the real reason.

Situations like this will continue to occur in the future...

So now I just have to slowly adapt.

Those who trust him will become his comrades, while those who do not trust him... may become his enemies.

In fact, if the truth could be revealed, with Li Weide's current abilities, saving the current timeline would not be difficult.

However, Death's goal is never just to save the world line he inhabits.

Instead, it's about saving the countless new world lines created by his sudden appearance!
Since that's the case, Li Weide can't do whatever he wants. No matter how capable he is, he can only dance within the boundaries set by Death.

Unless he becomes a god right now, an alien god completely independent of all timelines!

Miravia squinted at Li Weide's expression.

"You don't seem to be lying..."

"I wasn't lying in the first place..."

"Ugh, so annoying! You know I'm very curious, yet you keep me in suspense like this! Even a small lie or a reason would be better than this in-between state!" Miravia grabbed her hair in frustration.

Miravia has always been a very curious person. After waiting for so long, she still couldn't get the answer. How could she stand it?
Li Weide rubbed his nose. Considering that such situations would become more frequent in the future, he really should come up with a plausible lie...

"You really can't tell me?" Miravia asked again, unwilling to give up.

“No.” Li Weide shook his head.

“What will happen if you tell me?” Miravia asked.

“Hmm…it will make things worse,” Li Weide replied.

What else can be done? If too many new world lines are created, exceeding the scope of the Grim Reaper's intervention, then the Great Hell will have more worlds to devour, and the power of the Great Hell will further surge, accelerating the demise of all universes.

This situation can't even be described as worsening!

"Fine...okay! I won't ask anymore! Just tell me who I want to fight!" Miravia said irritably.

“The enemy hasn’t appeared yet, but it’s coming soon… I need your patience to help me with the preparations,” Li Weide said cautiously.

"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Miravia asked listlessly.

Li Weide smiled and said, "I knew you would trust me unconditionally, Miravia! I need you to go..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

“You can tell her the truth, Wade.” The familiar voice came from the side again.

Li Weide turned his head and saw Death again...

Li Weide's lips twitched slightly. What decent person would see the Grim Reaper every few days?
"Can I tell her the truth? Why? Logically speaking, if I tell her, wouldn't that also..."

"Have you forgotten? She's not from this world," Death said cheerfully.

“Isn’t that right?” Li Weide was somewhat taken aback. Miravia was a graduate of Hogwarts, so how could she be said to be from this world?
“She… wait!” Li Weide suddenly remembered something.

"It seems you've figured it out... How can someone who has even lost their name be considered a person of this world?" Death smiled.

Li Weide took a breath of cold air.

Upon closer examination, Miravia is indeed not from this world... because she has lost both her name and her physical body.

They were thrown into another parallel world!
Now, she is using a body from another parallel world when she is reborn!

Even the name was something I chose myself!
Then she really can't be considered a person from this timeline!
"What about her soul? Her soul still belongs to this world, doesn't it?" Li Weide asked.

"Water changes its shape depending on the shape of its container. So does the soul... You see, the physical body is the container that nurtures the soul. Therefore, when she uses a body from another world, her soul will naturally change its 'shape' due to the change in the container, becoming the version of herself in the parallel world."

Death uses the analogy of a container and water to represent the relationship between the body and the soul.

Li Weide quickly understood.

If the physical body dies, the soul cannot remain in the world forever unless it cuts off its path and becomes a ghost...

Therefore, the physical body is indeed very important, so important that it can affect the state of the soul.

In other words... after Miravia's soul takes over this body, it will unknowingly change in order to fit into this body.

Gradually, Miravia slowly transformed into Miravia from another world.

And Miravia from this world would originally be reborn in another world using the soul of Miravia from that world.

To give a simple example, the reason why the ghost of Slytherin looks old is because he was an old man when he died.

Now, Li Weide has given him a younger body. After some time, once his soul and this body become more and more compatible...
His soul state will also change.

If he were to have another out-of-body experience, he would be astonished to find that his soul, which had previously been aged and decrepit, had become as young as his current physical body…

After such a long period of adjustment, Miravia is now essentially someone who traveled directly from another timeline! Therefore, like him, she is also an existence independent of this timeline.

Miravia looked warily at the beautiful woman in the black dress next to Li Weide, and for some reason, a feeling of fear rose in her heart.

Even though there was a smile in her eyes when she looked at me, why did I feel so terrified?
In fact, if Miravia hadn't keenly sensed the danger, she would have already asked a question in the face of such a bizarre scene.

“You’re very good, Miravia… I believe you can definitely help Wade complete his mission…”

After saying those words to Miravia, Death vanished abruptly, as if he had never existed.

Miravia had never sensed a single trace of the woman's magic, so she was greatly shocked when she saw Death suddenly disappear!

With her current strength, even if the other party was a Muggle, she could sense the faint magic power hidden deep in the other party's soul. But now, this woman clearly had no magic power, yet she was able to disappear so suddenly!
This is enough to prove that the opponent's strength far exceeds his own! Even far exceeds Li Weide's!
When did Li Weide get to know such a powerful wizard?

But... do such powerful wizards really exist?
"You...did you just see that? The person next to you..."

Miravia even began to doubt whether what she had just seen was a hallucination.

“You really did see a person just now, it wasn’t a hallucination.” Li Weide naturally understood Miravia’s shock, but there were more important things to do now, such as telling her the truth.

"Now that you've seen her, you must have heard what she said... So, I can tell you the truth now."

Miravia's expression immediately turned serious; only then did she truly realize the gravity of the situation.

This is definitely not the same as the small-scale battles against vampires we've had before!
Li Weide, however, seemed much more relaxed. Miravia was arguably one of his most important helpers, and now that he could tell her the truth, he would receive even more assistance from her!

Otherwise, even if Miravia trusts him completely, she will inevitably be constrained in her actions without knowing the truth.

“Come to my room, I’ll tell you the truth,” Li Weide said.

Although Miravia sensed the gravity of the situation, it was indeed the truth she had always wanted to know, so without any hesitation, she followed Li Weide back to his room.

After locking the door securely, Li Weide told Miravia the whole truth.

After hearing Li Weide tell the truth, Miravia was so shocked that she remained speechless for a long time.

The threat of hell... and that woman from before, she was actually Death?!
Li Weide understood her surprise, because he knew that when he learned of this, his expression wouldn't have been much calmer than hers...

He took a cup, poured Miravia a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of her.

“This is really… terrible, Wade.” Miravia frowned, picked up her cup, and drank the tea in one gulp.

“Yes…it’s terrible…” Li Weide frowned.

"The hardest part is that you can't tell the whole truth. You can't even tell your best friend, Tom. That puts even more pressure on you..."

“It’s nothing, Miravia… We just need to come up with a plausible reason for my change of heart,” Li Weide said.

What is a reasonable reason?

“I want to stand high in the sky and rule the whole world… How about that reason?” Li Weide scratched his head and asked.

In fact, he had too many things to do and simply didn't have the energy to think of any more reasons...

“Hmm…simple, direct, and very persuasive. In fact, with your abilities, very few people wouldn’t want to do it this way,” Miravia said. “It would be strange if you didn’t!”

In fact, although Li Weide's previous actions were gentle in their methods, they ultimately achieved the same goal.

It's just that time is of the essence now, so his methods have to become more radical.

"Is this reason reasonable?"

“That makes perfect sense!” Miravia nodded.

Frankly speaking, anyone with Li Weide's abilities would not be content to live an ordinary life; they would always want to do something extraordinary.

So, although this reason sounds absurd, it is also very reasonable.

“Then let’s use this reason…” Li Weide nodded.

“This world war might be a good excuse, Vader,” Miravia said, tilting her head in thought.

"A world war?"

“Because enough people have died in the war… so, to achieve peace and unify the world, you have a plausible reason to justify your ‘ambition’,” Miravia said.

As she said this, she happened to recall the horrific scenes of war that she had witnessed during her previous outings…

“This…” Li Weide slowly raised his head, “Actually, it’s not necessarily just a reason. If Miravia were truly unified, it could indeed end the war quickly and restore peace to the world… Then, the world’s strength could be mobilized to resist the invasion that is about to be suffered!”

“Let’s do it this way, Vader. But… we’re making enemies of the whole world, so it seems we need a lot of combat-ready people… like, a wizarding army of our own?” Miravia said, frowning. “But where are we going to get such a wizarding army that is absolutely loyal to us?”

Wizards are too few in number. Even if all the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came out, it would only be a small team of a few dozen or a hundred people.

Wizard armies and the like have never existed before in history!
However, if Li Weide wants to achieve his goal in a short period of time, he really needs an army like this!

Otherwise, just as he once united the world to beat up vampires, he will be beaten up by others in the same way in the future!
Li Weide suddenly smiled.

"You seem to have a solution?" Miravia asked doubtfully.

“Yes, of course!” Li Weide’s smile was somewhat sinister. “Before, I wanted to take the conventional route, so this plan was shelved. But now it seems… there’s nothing else that can’t be used…”

"What exactly is the method?" Miravia asked curiously.

“Come with me…” Li Weide said, standing up, walking to the fireplace, and opening the door to the laboratory.

A few minutes later, Li Weide and Miravia stood in their laboratory.

It's the private lab that removed Miravia's armor before.

At this moment, several puppet researchers had already arrived in front of Li Weide.

Li Weide said, "Except for the leaders of Group 1 and Group 5 who stay, everyone else can continue with their own tasks."

Soon, only two puppet researchers remained in the private laboratory.

"You two groups, transfer all the projects you're currently working on to other groups. As for you... just do one thing for me!" Li Weide said sternly.

"Please give your orders," the two puppet researchers asked in unison, their voices carrying a mechanical quality.

"Unlock Privilege 1, execute the mass production plan. Unlock Privilege 2, expand open space, build barracks, and manufacture new equipment. Unlock Privilege 3, construct biological support facilities..."

Miravia stood to the side, listening in bewilderment as Li Weide unlocked a whole host of permissions for the two puppet researchers.

The two puppet researchers' eyes kept flashing red until Li Weide announced the last unlocked permission, at which point the two puppet researchers left the laboratory at the same time.

"So, what is the mass recruitment plan? Does it mean we're recruiting people from somewhere?" Miravia asked.

“Miravia… I have mastered biological cloning technology. Do you think I still need to recruit people?” Li Weide said calmly.

Although Li Weide's words were calm, they sounded like a thunderclap to Miravia.

She gasped as she thought of Toby's "children".

Yes! Biological cloning technology! And the technology for creating consciousness entities!
If he can create a large group of house-elves, why can't he create an army?
With Li Weide mastering these two technologies, what kind of people does he still need to recruit?

As expected of a massive troop buildup plan!
However, cloning is indeed very sinister, and many people probably cannot accept it. No wonder Li Weide had previously blocked access to this project.

But right now... there's really no time to worry about that...

“You were unlocking permissions just now… so you were prepared all along?” Miravia asked.

"It was just a precaution... I didn't expect it would actually come in handy," Li Weide said with emotion.

Miravia sighed, "With this kind of technology... no one would believe you if you said you didn't want to rebel!"
