Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 585 Everything is for a greater good!
A good story always has a good ending.

So when Harry finally defeated Voldemort, deflecting the curse back at him, the audience in the theater erupted in a low cheer.

“Good boy… He understands the power of love better than Voldemort, which is why he was able to defeat Voldemort.” Dumbledore praised sincerely, clapping his hands gently.

Grindelwald glanced at him, wanting to retort, "The ending is that Voldemort was tricked by you, you old rascal, using the Elder Wand's properties. What does that have to do with the power of love?"
However... considering that the relationship had finally eased up a bit, Grindelwald shut his mouth and pretended he hadn't heard.

“A very good movie, Wade. It’s very educational for me, and even for the other professors at Hogwarts.” Dumbledore’s face was full of relief.

Fortunately, in this world, the child named Harry in the future will not have to shoulder such a heavy burden.

He can grow up happily in his parents' love without being bothered by bad people.

This was undoubtedly what pleased Dumbledore the most.

At this moment, as the movie ended, the people who had been specially invited to the cinema gave a warm round of applause to the film's producer, Li Weide.

The lights in the movie theater came on, and Li Weide stood up, facing everyone with a slight smile on his face.

“Please don’t leave yet, everyone. I’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner for you all.” Li Weide looked at Hufflepuff.

Hufflepuff nodded and walked into the side door next to the movie theater.

Miravia and Tom, however, felt rather heavy-hearted.

Right now, almost everyone is very happy, and they really don't want to see these happy people fall into confusion and fear in just over ten minutes.

The company has converted a small banquet hall into a property next to the cinema.

The audience members chatted excitedly about the plot while going into the banquet hall to have tea and relax.

Li Weide stood to the side, watching the backs of the crowd, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Are you sure this place is really blocked?" Miravia asked again.

“Confirmed.” Li Weide nodded.

"Won't that... arouse the imposter's suspicion?"

Li Weide shook his head and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, she has already suffered some consequences from the last test. I believe she won't be paying such close attention to us again in the short term."

Li Weide was proud, and so was that madman.

Li Weide has now figured it out: the madman doesn't actually care how much trouble he causes.

Faced with overwhelming power, no matter how much trouble I cause, he won't take it seriously.

At most, he was just angry that his subordinates had done a poor job and made him lose face.

It's like a dungeon that could be cleared without taking damage, but because of a bad teammate's mistake, he lost a single point of health.

The damage wasn't significant, but the insult was extremely strong...

If Li Weide were that imposter Grim Reaper, he would never have made the same mistake again.

I'd rather do less than make a mistake...

“Come on, Tom…you might have to go through a fight later,” Li Weide said, patting Tom on the shoulder.

"Me? Fight?" Tom was somewhat taken aback.

"Didn't you notice that Grindelwald's gaze towards you was a little strange just now?" Li Weide smiled slightly.

"Why is he fighting me?" Tom hadn't yet recovered from his worry.

Miravia tapped his head. "Voldemort may not be you, but it really is you. Voldemort killed him. Given his personality, do you think he should come after you for revenge?"

"That's so petty!" Tom frowned.

“As people get older, they inevitably become a little more narrow-minded,” Li Weide said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true," Tom muttered.

You bastard, you're not that old, but your heart is smaller than a pinhole!
All I did was make a few sarcastic remarks to you, and today you're being dragged out and executed on the spot... That's too brutal!
Sure enough, before Li Weide and the others could even organize their thoughts, Grindelwald came over.

“You killed me,” Grindelwald said, staring at Tom.

“That’s not me,” Tom said helplessly.

“But that is indeed you. So, come on, stretch your muscles with me, and let me see how much you’ve grown over the years,” Grindelwald said arrogantly.

“No problem, I expected this, so I prepared the venue for you long ago!” Li Weide didn’t seem surprised at all.

He clapped his hands, and a group of house-elves came out and tidied up the area in the center of the banquet hall.

"You knew all along!?" Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise.

“I edited that movie. Do you think I might have foreseen this scene?” Li Weide smiled.

"Ugh...you screwed me over again!" Tom sighed helplessly.

"What do you mean by 'tricking you'? I'm helping you make a name for yourself!"

"Fame? I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death," Tom said dejectedly.

"No... what are you afraid of? You don't need to hide your strength today... do you really think you can't beat Grindelwald today?" Li Weide said irritably.

"Hiss...that's right!" Tom's eyes lit up again. "I've been hiding it for too long, I forgot for a moment."

Li Weide looked at Tom with a strange gaze. Could it be that when this guy absorbed Voldemort's power, he also absorbed Voldemort's "brain damage" along with it?

Tom strode confidently to the center of the banquet hall. "Come on, Grindelwald, I'll give you a three-move head start!"

The banquet hall erupted in an uproar.

They weren't mocking Tom; they just thought he might get a beating today.

Who is Grindelwald? Even if he is slightly less powerful than Dumbledore, he is still a world-renowned dark wizard.

The other person was already upset about the scene where they were killed in the movie, and Tom deliberately provoked them... How could that possibly end well?
Miravia tugged at Levine's sleeve. "Isn't this a bit too much for Mr. Grindelwald?"

“This battle still needs to be fought. That way, more people will believe what I say next,” Li Weide said solemnly.

“Oh…you mean…” Miravia suddenly realized.

Putting aside Riverd, Tom was able to increase his abilities to such a degree in a short period of time because he absorbed the power of Voldemort from a parallel universe.

And this point precisely proves what Li Weide was about to say...

Li Weide, a madman who absorbed countless parallel universe counterparts of himself!

Grindelwald was indeed furious.

Dumbledore had originally intended to try to dissuade him, but seeing that Rivendare was standing calmly to the side without any worry, he couldn't help but stop trying to persuade him.

The incomprehensible conversations between Li Weide and the others still puzzled him to this day.

Perhaps... Li Weide had his own reasons.

Tom stood opposite Grindelwald, pointing his nose at him, looking even more arrogant than Voldemort in the movies.

To be honest, Tom had always harbored resentment towards Grindelwald.

Back then, this old guy held a wand to his throat and almost took him away with a Killing Curse!
Before, I lacked the power to take revenge, but now...

Who's afraid of who! It's a good opportunity to settle both old and new scores at the same time!
Tom held his yew wand between two fingers, looking nonchalant. "Come on, let me see how much strength you have left, old man." "Oh ho!" Grindelwald laughed in exasperation.

If you were Li Weide, or ten years older, and unleashed all your potential, I would be somewhat wary of you.

But now? They haven't even grown all their fur yet, and they think they can defeat a lion?

I'm just getting older! I'm not dead!

"boom!"

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

The spell broke instantly, but Grindelwald was sent flying backward, embedding himself deeply into the banquet hall wall.

Tom, however, stood there without even getting his clothes dirty...

Not everyone is as freakish as Li Weide! Even his clones are abnormally strong!
So, if Tom, who combined the power of countless Voldemors, couldn't defeat the overconfident Grindelwald in one move, then not only would he, but all the Voldemors who were killed would feel that they died unjustly!

Tom looked at Grindelwald, who was covered in dust and dirt and was being painstakingly pried off the wall by the house-elves, and felt refreshed.

I never thought that I, Tom, would finally experience the thrill of suppressing others with numbers!

“I finally understand your happiness, Wade,” Tom said with a cheerful smile.

Li Weide laughed too, "No, Tom, you can't understand your father's happiness."

Tom suddenly felt his mood sour again.

Damn it, when will this bastard stop using those pointless ethical tropes!
At this moment, the banquet hall was completely silent.

Many people still don't realize what happened!

Professor Slughorn had already run over, circling around Tom with a big smile on his face.

"Tom! Did you take some new magic potion? How are you so powerful?"

"It's not because I drank a magic potion, it's just that I'm that powerful right now," Tom replied proudly.

Professor Slughorn laughed so hard his eyes disappeared.

If it were anyone else, he might have some doubts, but if Tom, who had always followed Li Weide, said this... then it must be true!
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Professor Slughorn raised his hand with a smile, gesturing for everyone to look over. "Pay attention, this is one of my most outstanding students! I have two students this strong! Two!"

At this moment, everyone gradually came to their senses and looked at Tom in disbelief.

A boy who was only a little over ten years old defeated the once-powerful Grindelwald with a single spell.

It's important to understand that Grindelwald now holds a high position within Hydra, and with the added prestige that comes with power, his strength is no less than it was back then.

But even so, they still lost? Or were they instantly defeated?
Dumbledore stared at Tom in equal shock, his gaze shifting back and forth between Rivalde and Tom.

He had a very strong intuition that Tom's strength was largely due to the nonsensical things they had said before!
Having been roused by the house-elves through pinching his philtrum and pouring potions, Grindelwald was now somewhat dazed. He looked at Tom, then at Levi.

Clearly, Li Weide has "evolved" again, but he didn't take him with him...

“I know everyone must be very confused at this moment, and I think I can give you an explanation now. However… this explanation may not be so pleasant.” Li Weide finally stood up and said loudly.

The murmurs gradually subsided, and Li Wade took a deep breath. "The reason Tom became so powerful was because of a spell... a spell that could absorb the power of his parallel counterparts. Fortunately, Tom absorbed Voldemort's power, but unfortunately... in other parallel worlds, there was another Li Wade, that me... that madman, who killed off all but one of his parallel counterparts, leaving only me..."

Li Weide's brief words contained so much information that everyone fell silent.

After watching the movie, everyone in the audience understood what parallel worlds are.

And Tom's incredible strength just now... proves that this "evil" curse truly exists...

People can actually accept that Tom killed Voldemort from other worlds and absorbed his power.

After all, everyone knows that Voldemort was a dark villain, and no one would be saddened by his death.

But... what Li Weide just said was about another Li Weide... a Li Weide who has no bottom line...

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore instantly understood the meaning behind the seemingly nonsensical conversation!

"Wade, what's going on?" Dumbledore strode over, eager to know what had happened.

Li Weide sighed, "The reason I invited everyone here today is actually to talk about this... It all started with a man who called himself the Grim Reaper appearing in my dream and telling me..."

Then, Li Weide recounted everything he had experienced that he could.

From encountering the imposter Grim Reaper, to being taken to the Great Hell, to the various warnings and constraints imposed by the imposter Grim Reaper, and finally to how she began to have doubts and verify them, etc...

Li Weide said, "Today, I finally have the power to break free from her surveillance, which is why I've gathered everyone here and used a movie and a duel to help you understand the seriousness of this matter..."

In an instant, the banquet hall, which had been filled with a joyful atmosphere, was no longer filled with the same mood, and everyone's expression became solemn.

A feeling called despair is rising in everyone's hearts...

No one doubts Li Wade's strength, which allows even the now incredibly powerful Tom to still obey him.

And now, in another parallel world, there exists a Li Weide who is countless times more powerful than Li Weide!
And that madman, Li Weide, could destroy this world at any moment...

Li Weide said with a bitter smile, "Professor, I can exchange my life for the survival of this world..."

“No! You absolutely cannot do this!” Dumbledore gripped Ridley’s hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination. “Human desires are endless… Even if you sacrifice your own life, you might not be able to save this world. Therefore, we must rebel, not sacrifice your life to prolong our lives!”

“No wonder you were in such a hurry all of a sudden and took such radical measures... It turns out you wanted to unite the power of the entire world to resist.” Grindelwald limped over, clutching his chest.

Li Weide shook his head and said, "That's what I originally thought, to integrate the power of the world... But... the closer I get to the truth, the more hopeless I feel. He only wants me. So, there's no need for you to accompany me in a battle we can't win. Don't worry, I've successfully contacted the real Grim Reaper, and he promised to protect you and this world... So, I will leave this world to fight him and then sever all traces of this world. The reason I'm telling you this is because I need your cooperation in casting a spell in this world..."

Tom stared at Levi in ​​shock. "You...you're going to risk your life for this? No! That's not what you said before!"

“But this is truly the only option, Tom… You have no idea how powerful he is.” Li Weide said in a deep voice, “You may seem strong now, but I can take you down in a second. And that madman is ten thousand times stronger than me… Tell me, how are we going to win?”

This is a battle that is impossible to win...

Dumbledore frowned and said, "No! Wade...we..."

"Professor... what you said before wasn't entirely without reason... It's all for a greater good! Since I'm destined to die, let's make my death more meaningful. If it were you, you would have made the same choice, wouldn't you? Just like you in that world, falling without regret under Snape's Killing Curse... Professor, what you taught me before... there always has to be someone willing to be morally blackmailed..."

Dumbledore was speechless, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at Rivendare.

He had no idea how to refute what Li Weide said...

Because even if these people are determined to rebel with Li Weide, what about the rest of the world? They cannot make choices on behalf of the rest of the world... because everyone has the right to live.

Grindelwald sighed. "Albus... I think you finally understand how I feel, right? You're a damn jerk like that too! All I can say is... he truly is your most prized student..."

Dumbledore remained silent, but his grip on Rivald's hand tightened, as if Rivald would vanish in the next second.

Suddenly, Miravia grabbed Li Weide's shoulder and said with a serious expression, "I can't represent everyone else, but I can represent myself, so... I'll go with you!"

“You’re just throwing your life away! I have other plans for you! This world still needs you!” Li Weide said, frowning.

“I’m sorry, I can’t accept your arrangements, Wade… but I can make my own arrangements.” Miravia stared intently into Wade’s eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

“Count me in!” Tom roared as he approached. “Lee Wade, you damn bastard! I haven’t beaten you yet! Don’t think you can just walk away!”

Li Weide looked at the two of them with a worried expression...

He really wanted to say that he wasn't necessarily going to die, after all, Li Weide wasn't someone to be trifled with.

But... the atmosphere has been built up to this point... wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't die?
