Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 537 The Dark Lord you mentioned, is it yourself?
"thump!"

Two figures appeared out of nowhere in the darkness.

However, one person fell right out, getting a mouthful of mud, while the other strolled out leisurely...

"Tom, how was it? This teleportation was much more comfortable than before, wasn't it?" the person behind him said with a smile.

"Ugh... ptooey..." Tom spat out the dirt in his mouth and said irritably, "Yeah, yeah... much better, if you hadn't kicked me like that..."

"I'm just saying this because I see you're dawdling. You know I don't have much patience," Li Weide said, hands in his pockets.

"You just don't have much patience with me!" Tom grumbled as he got up, brushing the dust and grass clippings off himself with his wand. "Where are we?"

Li Weide parted the bushes in front of him and took a look. "It looks like a small town."

Tom also came over. It turned out that their teleportation point was in a flower bed, but the flower bed seemed to have been neglected for many years, and it looked a bit messy and lush.

"This...this town looks so familiar?" Tom asked, puzzled.

“Hmm… because this is still Godric Valley,” Livid said.

"Why is it still here? Have we gone back to the past?" Tom stared wide-eyed for a long time, trying to discern from the clothes of the passersby whether they had returned to the past.

But strangely, there wasn't a single pedestrian on the street.

Night had fallen, and a thin mist slowly drifted over the streets, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Why is there no one here?" Tom couldn't help but ask again.

Li Weide glanced at the watch on his wrist. "That's right, nobody's around. In this day and age, who would dare to go out at night?"

The watch on his wrist is a tool for determining the current time point and is closely connected to the portal.

It can accurately calculate the current time based on the magic power consumed by the portal.

And now, it is exactly 1981.

In other words, the First Wizarding War had been going on for eleven years.

To this day, all wizards are terrified of Voldemort and his minions.

Even when relatives return home at night, they dare not be 100% sure that the person returning is really their relative, and suspect that it may be a Death Eater in disguise.

What terrifies those returning home even more is seeing the Black Demon symbol floating in the sky above their homes from afar…

Because that means... the home is gone...

It's perfectly normal that nobody dares to go out at night anymore. The Muggles living in Godric's Hollow have probably already been moved by the Ministry of Magic using a Confusion Charm...

After all, Death Eaters show absolutely no mercy to Muggles they encounter in wizarding settlements...

So, Voldemort was truly wicked beyond measure!

Thinking of this, Li Weide couldn't help but feel angry and gave Tom a hard knock on the head.

"Holy crap! Li Weide, are you out of your mind?! Why did you suddenly hit me?" Tom was furious and turned to question Li Weide.

Li Weide retorted angrily, "What? Do I need to pick an auspicious day to beat you up? I'll just do whatever I want to you, what are you going to do about it?"

Tom was numb, and he couldn't beat them. If they were unhappy, they could just leave him there and ignore him. What could he do?
"Fine...do as you please, I won't ask for your reasons. Just remember to remind me next time you beat me up..." Tom sighed.

"Let's go, I need to check what day it is today... to confirm if the portal's location and my watch's notification are correct." Li Weide strode out.

Tom had no choice but to swallow his anger and follow behind him.

Damn it! I was in a pretty good mood!
……

The streets were indeed deserted, looking quite desolate, and the shops nearby seemed to have been closed for a long time.

Li Weide stood in front of a wall and looked at it carefully, because there were several wanted posters pasted on it.

One of the wanted posters featured a woman with a cold and beautiful face, but a sinister smile on her lips.

Tom leaned closer and whispered the words aloud, “Bellatrix Lestrange…extremely dangerous…Death Eater…the words are a little hard to read. Hmm…what’s Death Eater? Why does that sound so familiar?”

"Don't worry about the details, Tom... Let me tell you what happened first. This era is a parallel world, 39 years after our time..."

"39 years from now? Then this is the future!" Tom suddenly perked up.

Li Weide once said that he could steal future technologies and bring them back to China.

Since it's a parallel world timeline anyway, I'm not afraid of changing the history of the world I live in.

Li Wade nodded and said, "Yes... However, in this era, a Dark Lord has emerged in the wizarding world, a figure feared by all. The war between the Ministry of Magic and him and his henchmen has been going on for eleven years now. That's why there are no pedestrians on the streets..."

"The Dark Lord?" Tom couldn't help but glance at Levi. "You actually succeeded?"

"bump!"

"Hey!"

Tom was elbowed again by Livde, and he felt like his ribs might break.

Was it really necessary? That bastard went way too far!

“It wasn’t me,” Li Weide said.

"Who else could it be but you?" Tom sneered. "39 years later... you're definitely not dead yet, are you? With you around, what other Dark Lord could there be? Besides, your ambition has always been..."

"bump!"

Tom clutched his stomach and curled up like a shrimp, speechless for a long time.

“Li Weide, you’ve changed. You weren’t so rough before…”

"Who told you to talk nonsense? And... you know me, if I were the Dark Lord, would this scene have occurred?" Li Weide said irritably.

“That’s true…” Tom was not convinced, but he also felt that what Li Weide said made sense.

Even if this guy were to take tough measures, he would still be meticulous in winning over the hearts and minds of the people.

But the Dark Lord of this era doesn't seem like that kind of person; otherwise, people wouldn't be afraid to even leave their homes at night.

"Then who is this Dark Lord? How do you know all this?" Tom couldn't help but ask again.

“How I know is none of your concern. As for his name… I can’t say his name, Tom… because in this era, if anyone utters his name, his henchmen can sense it and then Apparate over to wipe us out. Nowadays, people only dare to call him ‘the Mysterious Man’ or ‘the one whose name can’t even be mentioned,’” Li Weide explained.

"What's there to be afraid of? You think you can be afraid of a few little Karamis?" Tom, having recovered, finally straightened up, a hint of arrogance on his face. "Even if you don't lift a finger, I can still take them down. After this period of practice, I can fight Gryffindor for thirty rounds to a draw! Do you think their henchmen are stronger than Professor Gryffindor?"

“I’m not so afraid, but we don’t belong to this world. If possible, I don’t want to arbitrarily change the history of another world. That would be very boring.” Li Weide looked at Tom and smiled, a meaningful smile.

But Tom always felt that there was something sinister about the way the man smiled at him, making him shudder...

Suddenly, Li Weide slapped Tom hard on the shoulder, activating his coat with magic and causing Tom to vanish into thin air.

Li Weide himself had already concealed his whereabouts.

Strangely, although Tom knew that he and Li Weide were invisible, he could still see Li Weide's appearance, although his figure looked somewhat translucent.

It seems that the invisibility function of this clothing is ineffective against people wearing the same equipment.

Being invisible only to enemies is probably to avoid accidental damage during combat, right?
Did they even consider this point?
"Don't speak. I sense an evil magic approaching. From now on, we'll communicate using whispering spells..." Li Weide said in a whispering spell.

Upon hearing this, Tom couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Could it be that the Dark Lord you mentioned has come?"

“It should be. Stop talking and come with me.” Li Weide’s voice couldn’t help but become excited.

Just then, less than five meters away from Li Weide and Tom, a cloud of black mist flew down from the sky, landed on the ground, and transformed into a man in a black robe.

Tom almost gasped in surprise after just one glance at the man's face...

It was simply because that person's face no longer resembled a human face.

It was a face that looked as if it had been burned by flames, its features blurred, pale and strangely distorted, the whites of its eyes already showing blood...

Without a doubt, this is the infamous Voldemort, a dark lord who completely abandoned his good looks in exchange for immense power.

Li Wade carefully examined Voldemort. Voldemort looked even worse than when he was resurrected, though his pupils were no longer as narrow as a snake's.

Li Weide couldn't help but glance at Tom, who looked somewhat pale, and just couldn't understand how a perfectly healthy person could have become like this...

Just as the two were sizing up Voldemort, Voldemort suddenly turned his head to look at where they were standing, and raised his hand to shoot out a green light!
Tom was terrified. Who would use a killing curse on someone without even seeing them or saying hello?

Tom desperately wanted to hide, but he found that he couldn't move his body at all! He couldn't even make a sound!

He could only watch helplessly as the killing curse shot toward his chest!
"Wonderful!" Just then, Li Weide gently patted Tom again.

Tom felt a strange sensation coming from his coat, as if his body was turning into gas...

"Whoosh!"

The green light seemed to pass through the air, piercing through Tom's body and striking the wall behind him, blasting a large crater...

Li Wade quietly observed Voldemort. This old fellow truly lived up to his reputation as someone even Dumbledore found troublesome; his alertness was indeed remarkable.

Tom made just a tiny little noise by accident, and it was discovered.

……

Voldemort seemed a little puzzled that no one was there, but the proud Voldemort didn't take it to heart. In this world, no one could hide anything from Voldemort's eyes. Since he hadn't found anyone there, then no one was there.

He put away his wand, turned around, and continued walking forward...

"This...this is the Dark Lord you were talking about..." Tom then realized he could move again. "You're the one who made me unable to move just now?"

“Yes, if you move around or make a sound and he notices, that won’t be good… What are you afraid of? This clothing can resist the Killing Curse, have you forgotten?” Li Weide said, patting Tom on the shoulder again. “How about it? This Dark Lord is powerful, isn’t he?”

"Indeed... when he looked over, I felt like I could hardly breathe..." Tom breathed a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken. "But... he's just... too ugly! How could he look like that?"

Li Weide glanced at him and said, "If you hadn't given up on dark magic and had continued to study it... you would have ended up like this too."

This is the truth.

"Holy crap... is this terrifying?"

“You’ve seen what your ancestor was like at the beginning,” Li Weide said.

Tom thought about it again and realized that it really was true...

At the beginning, Slytherin's ghost form was an ugly little old man, and even without the curse of that great tomb, he was still not very good-looking.

After Li Weide reshaped his body and made him younger, he regained his former handsome appearance...

This shows how serious the influence of black magic is.

It can be said that the higher one's mastery of black magic, the more extreme one's pursuit of power, and the greater the corrosive effect on the body...

"Thank goodness...thank goodness...if I were like that, I'd rather hang myself," Tom murmured.

Li Weide laughed, "You didn't say that before. You said that as long as you become strong enough, it doesn't matter if you lose your hair or your nose..."

Tom looked at Levi with horror. "No... how did you know I thought that?"

Li Weide smiled but said nothing.

Tom finally understood why he could never beat Li Weide.

He knows even what I'm thinking... so how am I supposed to fight him?
“Let’s go, he’s almost gone… Let’s follow him and see.” Li Weide said, and strode after him.

The coat produced by the Floating City Laboratory has an excellent concealment effect.

Both the materials and the technology are top-notch.

If Tom hadn't been so shocked that he momentarily missed his footsteps, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to detect their presence.

This was tested by Li Wade using Dumbledore!
That's the complete version of Dumbledore!
Even the fully-fledged Dumbledore couldn't notice the hidden clothing if he wasn't paying attention, let alone Voldemort, who was extremely unbalanced in his studies.

The two followed Voldemort at a distance, walking through the silent streets.

Before long, Voldemort stopped in front of a house.

He stopped, looked at the house in front of him, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Crack!"

Voldemort simply raised his hand, and the lock on the courtyard door fell off.

He pushed open the courtyard gate and slowly walked in, a white magic wand now in his hand...

From a distance, Tom felt that the magic wand looked somewhat familiar.

"Huh? The wand that the Dark Lord uses seems to be made of yew wood, just like mine..." Tom murmured.

Li Weide glanced at him again. This was the same one. How could it not look familiar?
However, he didn't delay and followed closely behind, quickly walking into the courtyard. At the same time, the Elder Wand appeared in his hand!

Tom saw what Li Wade was doing and understood what the guy was planning to do.

The Dark Lord has clearly come here intending to kill someone, so Li Wade is probably planning to repeat what he did to save Ariana.

However, Tom had no objection to this at this moment.

After all, the Tom of today is not the Tom of yesteryear...

"Who's outside!"

Just as Voldemort was crossing the courtyard, a male voice came from inside the house.

Then the door opened, and a man wearing glasses stepped out, only to be stunned.

Immediately, he moved quickly, trying to close the door while shouting, "Lily! Run..."

"Avada eats the big melon!"

"Whoosh!"

"bump!"

That door ultimately could not be closed.

Before the man could finish his warning, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacantly staring in the direction of his wife and children inside the door…

Tom watched in shock as Voldemort began killing without saying a word.

However, when he saw a wisp of green light emanating from the tip of Livid's wand next to him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With this guy around, that man probably isn't quite dead yet...

At this moment, Voldemort stepped over the corpse of the man lying in the entryway and slowly walked into the house.

Li Weide followed without expression.

James Potter... Harry Potter's father.

He opened the door without any suspicion, not because he was not vigilant, but because this was a safe house that had been enchanted with a spell of unwavering loyalty.

Logically, only his closest friend should be able to enter, so he didn't even bring his wand when he opened the door...

But who could have imagined that the cowardly guy, whom they had helped so much, would betray everyone without hesitation?
A piercing scream erupted from inside the house.

"No!!! You...you..." Lily looked at Voldemort in despair as he stepped over her husband's corpse and slowly walked in.

"Woman, get away!" Voldemort's burning gaze had already landed on the crib behind Lily.

A baby, a little over one year old, is lying in the crib.

"No! I can't let you hurt him!" Lily trembled as she stood protectively in front of the crib.

"I'll say it again... get out of the way!" Voldemort said coldly.

This time, Lily didn't say a word, but simply spread her arms and stood firmly in front of the crib, her eyes filled with determination.

"Avada eats the big melon!"

The cruel green light flashed again.

Lily collapsed to the ground, tears slowly streaming down her face, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at her child.

Standing not far away, Li Weide clearly sensed a powerful, ancient magic suddenly emanating from the baby!
“Stupid girl…” Voldemort sneered.

He stepped over Lily's body and leaned down to quietly look at Harry Potter in the crib.

Harry was also awakened by the noise. Still dazed, he stared with innocent eyes at the person who had just murdered his parents.

Voldemort slowly pointed his wand at Harry's forehead...

"He...he's here to kill that boy? Why?" Tom stared incredulously at Voldemort's actions.

Without a doubt, neither the man nor the woman of the house were the target of that dark lord; it was the seemingly harmless child!
