Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 500 Tom: Is it any new that you want to rule the world?
"Rebellion? Whom am I rebelling against? I do all this only to liberate all mankind, and I will fight for this goal for the rest of my life..." Li Weide said with righteous indignation.

Miravia snapped her fingers. "Good. Stay like this. You can use it to fool others later. Foole as many as you can. Although we have a clone army, the more normal helpers the better."

"Don't talk nonsense, what nonsense! I'm telling the truth! My heart is sincere!" Li Weide frowned.

Miravia said approvingly, "Ah! Yes, yes, that's it! You have to convince yourself first. If you don't believe it yourself, how can you expect others to believe it?"

"..."

After that day, the puppet researchers who had been staying in the laboratory walked out in two groups.

Then, next to the moving castle, the expansion module was activated, and a large open space appeared out of thin air.

With the help of domesticated Pokémon, the puppet researchers quickly built several enormous buildings on the open ground.

Two days later, the puppet researchers moved a large amount of materials from the laboratory into one of the buildings.

At the same time, countless specially made nutrient solutions were boiled in batches.

The massive troop buildup plan has officially begun...

Several other groups were also specifically assigned by Li Weide to research the weaponry of the mobile castle...

How can an indestructible battle fortress be without powerful weapons?

As Li Weide issued one command after another, massive amounts of Galleons were spent like water...

……

Hogwarts.

Li Weide returned to school, but this time his purpose was not to continue studying the books in the library, but to find a way to trick some helpers...

Especially in precognitive dreams, those familiar faces seen should be recruited as soon as possible and made to pledge allegiance to the new cause.

Li Weide found Comrade Tom Riddle engrossed in his studies at the library.

When Tom saw Levi sitting across from him with a serious expression, he knew that this guy was planning to fool him again.

It wasn't because Tom was smart, but because it was a common occurrence...

Tom calmly put down his quill and closed his book. "Tell me, who are you going to harm this time?"

Li Weide rolled his eyes. "Is my image in your mind really that dark?"

Tom sighed. "So, my great and kind Comrade Li Weide, who is as pure as a white lotus, what brings you here this time?"

“Come with me, this isn’t the place to talk.” Li Weide glanced around.

A quiet library is definitely not a place to discuss business.

Tom packed his things and followed Li Weide out of the library.

"Aren't you going to invite anyone else?" Tom asked.

“No need. Let me tell you first,” Li Weide replied.

“Oh, I understand…” Tom nodded.

Clearly, he was just a guinea pig. Li Weide must have some new idea, wanting to use psychological manipulation on people, but not being confident, so he came to test his skills on him.

Don't ask him how he knew; it's just a habit...

I visited the House of Requirement again after a long time, eliminating any possibility of being disturbed.

Tom sat comfortably on the sofa and quietly watched Li Weide, waiting for what was to come.

Sitting opposite him, Li Weide reached into a steaming teapot, poured Tom a cup of tea, and then said with a deep gaze, "Tom... I have an ideal..."

Tom raised an eyebrow. "World domination?"

"Huh?" Li Weide looked at Tom in astonishment.

Before revealing his ultimate goal, he still had a long preamble to give!
Why is this kid not playing by the rules? He just revealed his hand right away.
“Am I that obvious?” Li Weide frowned.

Tom shrugged. "Lord Levi, who aspires to become the Dark Lord, has your ideal ever changed? Your ideal has always been to rule the world!"

“Oh… I was too hasty. I thought you didn’t know before,” Li Weide said, stroking his chin.

"So, since your ultimate goal hasn't changed, and you've come to me specifically for this... then what you want to change is probably the method of world domination." Tom chuckled. "What? You've finally realized the shortcomings of your previous method? I've said it before, your approach sounds great, but it's extremely difficult to implement..."

Li Weide watched Tom clicking his teeth; this kid was getting harder and harder to fool...

He truly lived up to his reputation as a young Voldemort; when he still had a brain, he was incredibly intelligent.

“My previous method might not have been ineffective, it was just too slow to take effect…” Seeing this, Li Weide stopped hiding his true intentions.

"You're going to use harsh methods?" Tom narrowed his eyes and said, "In that case, you'd better be prepared... Harsh methods aren't easy to come by, Dumbledore could punish you in a heartbeat. Grindelwald is a prime example. If he hadn't listened to you, Grindelwald might be finished by now..."

Li Weide stroked the Elder Wand in his hand, "I have ample reason..."

“Grindelwald had plenty of reasons back then, even though you called them flashy but impractical…” Tom said.

"The suffering brought by war is simply too great... During this time, I traveled around and witnessed the devastation caused by war..."

“Oh…” Tom suddenly realized, “This is a great angle! For world peace, we need to unify the world, and to unify the world, finding someone to rule it is the best choice. But who is that person? It’s so hard to guess…”

"Tom... I feel like there's something sharp about what you're saying today?" Li Weide frowned.

“You’re hiding something from me, Wade,” Tom said coldly. “Considering your strange behavior before, something must have happened… Otherwise, given your usual confidence, you wouldn’t have changed your approach! And such a risky and radical one at that! What happened that made you so impatient?”

Levi shut his mouth, surprised by Tom's keen observation.

"I just want to end the war as soon as possible and keep the world at peace forever..."

"Just fool your brothers, don't fool yourself too," Tom said casually.

"Okay, I just can't resist. I want to accomplish great things while I'm still young and then stand high in the sky!" Li Weide leaned back in his chair, raised his hand to brush his hair back, but unfortunately he didn't have hairspray, and as soon as he let go, his hair came loose again.

“You weren’t always in such a hurry. You’re very patient.” Tom looked at Li Wade with suspicion.

"People's thoughts always change, Tom..."

Tom glanced at Levi with some disappointment. "You really can't tell me the real reason?"

“Didn’t I just tell you?” Li Weide retorted.

Tom stared at Levi in ​​silence for a long while before sighing and saying, "Fine... Since the ultimate goal is to rule the world, I won't ask anymore... You came to me because you want me to join you?"

"Yes."

“Then I’ll join,” Tom said, shrugging.

Li Weide has come knocking on my door, and he's asking such an explosive question. If I don't agree, I'll probably be cursed with oblivion before I even leave the house.

Tom didn't want his memories to be altered by that guy Levi again! "You just joined like that?"

"What else can I do? I can't beat you..." Tom said resentfully. "Since that's the case, why should I put up a futile resistance?"

"Tom... I've said before, many things aren't as complicated as you think..."

"Alright, alright, no need to explain anymore, I get it... Anyway, now I know your excuse. As for those people at school, let me help you win them over. You go and do your own thing." Tom said, finishing his tea and striding away from the Room of Requirement.

Li Weide knew why Tom reacted that way.

Because he didn't tell him the truth, Tom, who was gradually coming to regard Li Weide as a friend, was hurt in his sensitive heart.

Tom himself would certainly not admit to this, but that is the truth.

“I’m sorry, Tom…” Li Weide said softly.

Tom is quite good at manipulating people; in fact, he's particularly skilled at it.

In the original timeline, he simply used the most basic and mindless theory of pureblood supremacy to attract a large number of loyal followers at the school.

Now, with Li Weide's reasoning being more legitimate than the pure-blood theory, it's even easier for Tom to grasp the situation.

Thus, through Tom's efforts, the ideology of the mutual aid society gradually began to change...

……

After leaving Hogwarts, Livid returned to the Moving Castle.

Now that the setup is mostly complete, all that's left is to wait and see the results...

Therefore, Li Weide finally had time to study how to make himself stronger.

In that destroyed timeline, Li Wade used this method to become stronger, and he still does now...

Using the power of ancient magic, gradually enlarge that small hole in the soul...

Enlarging the small hole will indeed make you stronger.

Previously, Li Weide was unsure of where the limits were, so he was worried that over-exploitation might cause dangerous situations.

Therefore, they dared not go too far.

But now... Death has endorsed it, proving that it is indeed a feasible path with little danger.

The Grim Reaper's power was such that killing him would be a matter of minutes, so he wasn't worried that the Grim Reaper was lying to him.

Using the power of ancient magic, a small hole was drilled to strengthen the "spiritual root"...

This is destined to be a long process.

Moreover, when he decided to do this, he specifically asked Miravia to watch from the side.

Since Miravia also possesses ancient magic, she can theoretically use this method as well!

At this time, having a powerful helper is of great benefit to the future.

When Miravia saw with her own eyes Livid using ancient magic to carve a hole in her soul, she initially thought the guy had gone mad.

However, as the hole gradually enlarged, Miravia could clearly feel that Levi's magic was also rapidly increasing!
In the end, Miravia couldn't resist and, following in Li Weide's footsteps, began digging a hole in her own soul...

Of course, while making himself stronger, Li Wade also didn't forget to research how to quickly turn Muggles into wizards.

After all, there are so many Muggles in the world, and it's impossible for Raviel to open holes in each one of them if he wants to turn them all into wizards.

“You could try to create some kind of magic potion, then let it dissolve in the rainwater, and once it rains all over the world… soon all Muggles will be able to become wizards! By the time that day comes, even if the wizarding world discovers it, it will be too late to save them,” Miravia suggested to Levi.

“That is indeed a good idea, but… it is also very difficult. The power of ancient magic is ultimately limited… even if such a potion could be created, it might not work after being diluted by rain. Not to mention making it rain all over the world…” Li Weide frowned.

"What other options are there?" Miravia asked, somewhat troubled.

“To prevent the power of ancient magic from being diluted… we still have to go back to biology…” Li Weide murmured.

"Do you have any idea?"

"I've got some leads...maybe I can create a virus..."

What is a virus?

"It's about creating a contagious disease similar to dracunculiasis. Of course, this disease isn't fatal; it only turns Muggles into wizards. All it needs to do is be infectious..."

“That’s a good idea! But… it’s still quite difficult!” Miravia said.

"When it comes to research, as long as you have an idea, you're not afraid of anything... What's most frightening is not having any ideas at all, not having any goals, then you won't be able to research anything..."

……

After learning that Slytherin had been resurrected, Tom took some time to return to the Moving Castle.

He returned the snakewood wand that Livid had given him to Slytherin.

"What's the meaning of giving back what I gave away?" Slytherin was somewhat unhappy.

“This wand suits you better…” Tom said. “After all, I no longer use dark magic…”

"Hahahaha!" Gryffindor next to him laughed like a goose.

Slytherin, who so highly revered dark magic, had descendants who no longer used it. What could be more ridiculous than that?
"Who are you?" Tom sized up the burly man beside him.

"Guess?" Gryffindor asked with a smile.

Tom frowned and sized him up. There weren't many people who could laugh so brazenly next to Slytherin and not be punished immediately.

Tom soon spotted the sword at Gryffindor's waist, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped into his head.

"You wouldn't happen to be a Gryffindor, would you?"

“You guessed right, child. Ah, as expected of a descendant of the old viper, you are indeed clever,” Gryffindor laughed.

"Heh, of course, look who this is!" Slytherin said proudly.

"Thinking about it, I suddenly regret not finding a wife when I was young. If I had descendants, they certainly wouldn't be any worse than this kid!" Gryffindor said, stroking his beard.

Tom looked at Gryffindor, feeling somewhat numb.

Indeed, if Slytherin and Hufflepuff came back to life, how can it be absurd that Gryffindor is still alive?

Of the four major figures, three have close ties with Li Weide!

Tom suddenly realized that what Levi was planning was something bigger than he had imagined...
