The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Ten minutes later, Jericho stood up from the ground, jumping around energetically.

"I'm rested enough, let's go!"

"We don't need a guide this time," Jericho pointed to his head. "I've memorized the map of the magic institute!"

"It seems you've really come prepared," Moriarty praised. "This reminds me of our first visit to the Magic Institute, six days and seven nights."

"It is indeed a vivid memory," a hint of reminiscence appeared in Lilith's eyes, "Our adventures were always thrilling."

The three of them talked about their adventures in Japan as they walked toward the magic shop.

"On behalf of Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts, I am visiting Professor Nightfall."

Moriarty made up a reason and explained his purpose to the "gatekeeper" of the magic institute.

In this world, Ye Jingyu didn't encounter Gamp, so naturally he didn't know dark element magic. He followed the established path, graduated from the magic institute, and stayed on as a professor.

The "gatekeeper" was an old male wizard, blind in one eye. He let Moriarty and his two companions through, muttering, "Another foreigner looking for Professor Ye Jingyu. Professor Ye Jingyu certainly has a wide social circle."

Moriarty and the other two exchanged glances.

"He said 'again'! That means someone else had come before us, and that person must have been the Light!"

Jericho's face darkened; his nerves were on edge.

"Is the security at the magic institute this weak?" Lilith asked Moriarty. "They actually let strangers into the school."

"Perhaps they are overconfident in their power, or perhaps the light has deceived them." Moriarty shrugged, showing no interest in magic.

He remembered what Zhang Tianxue had said on the phone: the phantom of light was flashing with a rainbow.

With this in mind, Moriarty instructed Lilith and Jericho: "Light has most likely mastered a new power, a new form of rainbow light. If you encounter Light, do not act rashly."

Lilith frowned, her delicate brows furrowing in worry. "This is terrible news. Although we are improving our strength very quickly, the enemy is improving their strength just as fast."

The three talked as they walked around the magic institute campus, eventually finding Yoru Kageyu in the Tengu Hall.

"The convergence of world lines, it's the Tengu Hall again."

Moriarty remembered that the first time he came to the Magic Institute, he found Professor Genya in the Tengu Hall and fought there.

"Gentlemen, what is Headmaster Dumbledore's request?"

Ye Jingyu looked like an ordinary person, harmless, with a faint smile on his face.

Clearly, the "gatekeeper" had already told Ye Jingyu the purpose of Moriarty's visit.

Moriarty, playing along, said, "Headmaster Dumbledore has commissioned you to find a rainbow wizard."

"A rainbow wizard?" Ye Jingyu's eyes widened. "What kind of wizard is that? I've never heard of it, nor have I ever seen one!"

Moriarty stared intently at Ye Jingyu, his eyes as sharp as a magical AI scanner. Ye Jingyu felt guilty and his gaze darted away.

"Your mental fortitude still isn't up to par," Moriarty laughed. "Tell me, what did Guang talk to you about? Did you join his organization?"

Ye Jingyu was exposed and became furious, his handsome face turning ugly with rage.

As the power of the shikigami manifested, one ghost bride after another appeared beside Yoru Kage.

They wore pure white wedding dresses, but their faces were dark, skull-like heads, radiating an aura of death.

"Disgusting! Ye Jingyu, are you sick? Why are you disgusting girls like this?!"

Lilith was extremely disgusted. She vowed to wear a wedding dress and marry Moriarty, but seeing the ghost bride like this, her beautiful fantasy instantly vanished.

Lilith switched to her Serpent Queen form, her powerful magic coalescing into massive white serpents. She swung her tails, smashing the Ghost Bride's skull with a crackling sound, like shattering a glass bottle.

"What a pervert, he's really shameless."

Lilith spat at Ye Jingyu, furious. At the time, she only felt that the ghost bride was oppressive and terrifying, but now she had become stronger, while Ye Jingyu had become weaker.

Lilith taught Ye Jingyu a harsh lesson. Ye Jingyu was dumbfounded, and the fear in his heart continued to grow. "Light, what kind of monster did you provoke in the multiverse!"

Jericho weakly said, "Young lady, you sent the ghost bride flying, where's my prey?"

"I'm leaving Ye Jingyu to you," Moriarty said to Jericho, who gave him a malicious smile and approached Ye Jingyu!

Moriarty took a step forward and shouted into the empty hall, "Light!"

"There's no need to hide anymore. Come out. This Ye Jingyu is clearly not strong enough to join the Immortal Organization. You must have other motives. Won't you come out and have a chat?"

A rainbow of light appeared above the hall, shining in front of Moriarty and Lilith!

"Greetings, Mr. Slytherin and Ms. Pilliwick!"

The sound of light was still hollow, like a mechanical voice after a change in tone, but anyone could hear the joy in it.

"You have indeed gained new power."

Moriarty's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at the rainbow light.

Previously, the light elemental magic manifested as bright light; the arrival and departure of light caused the phantom to flicker with light, and the power of time was very evident.

Now a rainbow of light appears on the phantom of light, not as dazzling, but even more magnificent, due to the power of time, and another power.

Guang looked at Moriarty with admiration, "I knew you could notice the change in me."

"Those mortals would never understand the thoughts of geniuses and perverts like us. The power in the multiverse is both wondrous and terrifying, but fortunately, unlike the other members of the Immortal Organization, I in the multiverse share the same ideas."

Moriarty's gaze turned serious, his face tightening. "You really did target your counterpart in the multiverse."

"How should I put this method? Devouring? Merging? Assimilation? Call it whatever you want!"

"You're all improving your strength, and I can't stand still, can I?" Guang frankly stated, "That Ye Jingyu over there is useless, but who can guarantee that the next Ye Jingyu won't be powerful?"

"If you want to keep me here, I advise you to abandon that idea."

Seeing Lilith poised to strike, he shook his head.

"Pretentious."

Lilith's eyes shot out petrifying beams, fiercely hot, yet piercing through the illusory light.

"It's useless, physical attacks have no effect on me."

The light, like a ghost, drifted about in the petrifying rays.

Lilith's hair transformed into countless small white snakes with azure eyes, all releasing petrifying rays at once.

"Do you think I wouldn't make some preparations?"

As soon as Lilith finished speaking, a heavy magical power appeared in the Tengu Hall, and the entire hall seemed to collapse under its weight. The inside and outside of the hall were petrified, forming a closed space filled with Lilith's magical power.

The light stopped moving, frozen in mid-air as if it had been immobilized.

Sensing the constraints imposed on him by the outside world, a flash of understanding appeared in Guang's eyes.

"You're something else, Miss Pillivik."

"If you can't petrify me, you'll petrify the entire space. No, it's more like you'll imprison the entire space, sacrificing space for the constraint of time. But in doing so, you'll also be trapped here."

Lilith's lips curled into a contemptuous sneer.

"Getting rid of you, this scourge of the multiverse, is enough for me."

Lilith was incredibly bold, appearing prepared to be sealed here for life. If Moriarty hadn't been so familiar with Lilith, he would have believed her.

Lilith knew that Moriarty had an alchemical space, which meant that Moriarty could take them out of here.

But Jericho didn't know that, and he let out a wail:

"No!"

"Young Miss, please stop your supernatural powers."

"I don't want to stay here and watch you two show off your love!!!"

Jericho slammed a punch into Ye Jingyu's face with a loud "Bang!" "Why aren't you a girl?! Huh?"
