Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Gray nodded, admitting it readily.

At Hogwarts, if students want to borrow these powerful dark magic books, they must be at least fifth year old and have a professor's signed authorization.

However, since Gray was the professor in name only, it was much easier for him to borrow these magic books than for the students, and no one could object to it.

Sure enough, upon hearing Gray's explanation, Mrs. Pince shrugged and pointed to a corner.

Gray smiled gratefully, glanced around briefly, then walked over to a book placed in the corner and picked it up.

Gray lowered his head slightly and looked at the cover of the book, where he saw a line of small gold text.

Analysis: The Unforgivable Curse, along with the Killing Curse, the Soul-Stealing Curse, and the Cruciatus Curse, reveals the secret behind its status as an unforgivable curse.

Author: Gellert Grindelwald, written in 1937.

"It's actually a work by the previous Dark Lord, Grindelwald!"

"You know Grindelwald?"

Mrs. Pince was somewhat surprised to hear Gray's whisper, because these past events had long been sealed away in the archives.

Grindelwald was the first Dark Lord and an early companion of Dumbledore.

In 1945, when Dumbledore was 65 years old, he officially defeated Grindelwald and became the greatest wizard.

At this time, Voldemort was a handsome 20-year-old young man working at Borginborough, a shop selling dark magic.

"I'm very interested in the life of the first Dark Lord. Although we rarely hear his name now, it has to be admitted that he was also a legend."

However, the story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald is simply too ancient.

Now, a new demon king has appeared; who cares about an aging legend anymore!

Gray sighed and waved the spellbook in his hand.

He also had an immense curiosity about the Harry Potter world, because it was a magical world where points could be exchanged for all related knowledge.

There was one more thing Gray didn't say: the end of Grindelwald's legend was actually closely related to Dumbledore.

Grey learned from the information that Dumbledore was gay, and that Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord, was Dumbledore's lover in his youth.

Therefore, even though they were later forced to become enemies, Dumbledore still did not want anyone to talk loudly about Grindelwald.

After decades of being sealed off, Grindelwald has become a legend, except for the older generation of wizards.

Few people know that the first Dark Lord is still alive today.

Chapter 264, The Killing Curse, the Soul-Stealing Curse, the Heart-Piercing Curse. (Fifth Update)

Gellert Grindelwald was born in 1882, one year younger than Dumbledore.

Based on the timeline, Grindelwald would have been 109 years old in 1991, which would have made him quite old.

However, this is no ordinary place; it is an alternative magical world.

"I wonder if this strange Dumbledore still has contact with Grindelwald. If he does, I really want to know what the two of them would say to each other."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Gray sighed inwardly.

Afterwards, Gray calmed down, picked up the Dark Lord's book, and began to study it carefully.

In Grindelwald's books, the Killing Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Cruciatus Curse are all very peculiar spells.

Among them, the Soul-Stealing Curse makes the person under its spell feel incredibly happy and willing to do anything for the caster.

However, this seemingly powerful magic does not depend on the spellcaster's magical power.

For example, the magic power of a legendary mage is at least ten times that of a grand mage.

However, when casting the Soul Reaper's Curse, the Archmage's spell effect is exactly the same as that of the Legendary Mage.

Both are soul-stealing spells, but their magical power differs by more than ten times, yet their effects are exactly the same—this is simply unbelievable.

In magic, the more powerful the spellcaster, the better the effect of the magic; this is almost a consensus.

However, the appearance of the Imperius Curse here completely shatters this perception. Instead, it seems like a standardized spell, unaffected by any external conditions.

It's strange, and it's also quite baffling.

Grey even suspected that the person who created this magic died before it was fully perfected, leaving behind only an incomplete version of the Imperius Curse.

"In 1930, a mountaineering enthusiast accidentally stumbled into my castle in the mountains. I controlled him with the Imperius Curse to record its duration."

Unfortunately, I failed; this person's willpower was extremely strong. Each time I used the Soul-Stealing Curse, the effect would last no more than three hours before the opponent broke free.

After that, I began to capture ordinary people, low-level mages, high-level mages, and even great mages in the same way for experiments.

After hundreds of tests, I discovered that resisting the Soul-Stealing Curse does not depend on strength, but on the opponent's willpower.

Casting this spell on an ordinary person has essentially the same effect as casting it on a magician.

Conversely, as long as ordinary people have enough willpower, they can still resist this magic.

However, powerful mages with weak willpower may find themselves deeply entangled and unable to extricate themselves.

In this book, Grindelwald provides a very detailed analysis of the Unforgivable Curse.

The densely packed experimental records and post-experiment summaries filled almost a third of the book's pages.

Gray read through the list one by one and discovered that the people who were most resistant to the Imperius Curse were not the mages who also possessed magic, but the elite warriors in human society.

These elite warriors from various countries have all had their willpower strengthened through rigorous training.

In his book, Grindelwald states that many archmages who enjoy comfort cannot resist the Imperius Curse for even a minute.

However, using the Soul-Stealing Curse to control these elite warriors seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

"The way to resist the Imperius Curse is not through one's own magic power, but through willpower! I'm really curious whether my current willpower can resist the effects of the Imperius Curse."

Gray was somewhat unsure and could only set it aside for the time being, turning to the other two records of the Unforgivable Curse.

The Crucifixion...

The second unforgivable curse, as recorded by Grindelwald, is the infamous Cruciatus Curse.

This magic is usually used to torment others.

This painful torment originates from both the body and the soul.

When the two are combined, even the strongest body will suffer a painful mental breakdown, turning someone into an idiot.

However, Gray had absolutely no interest in this magic.

Pure torture serves no purpose other than providing catharsis.

Voldemort's Death Eaters liked to use this method to instill fear in others.

Grey, however, preferred the Imperius Curse to make these people work for him rather than to torture them into idiots.

"The Imperius Curse works directly on the soul, which is very useful to me. As for the Cruciatus Curse, I'll learn it and that's enough; I probably won't need it much in the future."

With that thought in mind, Gray turned a few more pages and looked at the last spell.

He figured that since it was magic, it shouldn't be too difficult for him, as a high-level mage, to learn, and he could also use it as a trump card.

This book of dark magic records three unforgivable curses, with the Killing Curse being the last and the one described in the most detail.

The Killing Curse, also known as the Avada Kedavra curse.

In terms of the principles of magic, this spell has the same effect as the Imperius Curse; both are spells used to manipulate the soul.

The only difference is that the destructive effect of the Killing Curse increases with the power of the magic.

For example, if an ordinary mage uses a killing spell to attack someone, it will definitely result in an instant kill.

However, if the attack is not against a human, but against a dragon with magic resistance, it is likely that only the dragon's soul will be injured, rather than being killed instantly.

Conversely, if the caster is a legendary mage and the magic they use is even more powerful.

The effect of the Killing Curse will be amplified, and even a dragon with magic resistance could be killed in one hit.

One's own magical power and the destructive power of magic are interrelated in this magic.

This might not be obvious in lower-level creatures, but it becomes very apparent in higher-level creatures with magic resistance.

Grey had to admit that he liked the magic, and really liked it.

Here, the lethal attack of the Killing Curse penetrates directly through the skin and affects the soul.

It affects the soul and is a skill that can instantly kill.

Gray thought that one day, if his own magic became powerful enough...

If it is used by someone at the level of Saint Ten, or even higher.

Perhaps this magic will become so terrifying that it might even tear apart gods and bring them down to the mortal realm!

"We need to study the Killing Curse carefully; this magic has great potential. Hmm, we also need to study Harry Potter and see what his mother did to cause the Killing Curse's effects to be reflected back, thus killing Voldemort."

With that thought in mind, Gray slowly closed the book, intending to take it back to his room to read it carefully.

If you want to learn this magic, you must understand how to activate it, but this is not difficult for Gray, who is already familiar with the plot.

He is now increasingly grateful to the Main God Space, and even to that mysterious Main God; otherwise, he would still be just a boy who hasn't even reached the intermediate level of a mage.
