The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Seeing this, Moriarty became even more aggressive.

"Merlin!"

"Your past achievements cannot undo the mistakes you're making now!"

Moriarty rode the golden griffin to the side facing away from Hogwarts Castle, forming an encirclement of Merlin with Lilith and the other five girls.

"I am Moriarty Slytherin! The sole direct descendant of Salazars Slytherin!"

"The most powerful successor to the four great masters, the strongest heir to Hogwarts!"

"I solemnly swear, by the power of supreme honor, to strip Merlin of any trace of himself at Hogwarts!"

Moriarty's eyes burned with a divine flame, and his voice was like thunder, each word accompanied by thunderous roars and howling winds.

"Whether you're a portrait or a Chocolate Frog card, you'll be erased by me!"

"All that remains for Merlin is an honest record of his true life and people's opinions of him!"

"I will completely erase Merlin's name, which the Pen of Acceptance once wrote in the Book of Admission!"

"Oh oh oh oh~"

A cheer erupted in Hogwarts Castle and lasted for a long time.

Someone has already torn up Merlin's Chocolate Frog card and taken down Merlin's tattered portrait from the wall—if they can't take it down, they'll smash the wall!

Merlin's body swayed visibly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He glared at Moriarty with hostility: "Fine, do whatever you want."

"When I become a god and traverse the multiverse at will, you won't regret it!"

"I never regret anything!" Moriarty's stern voice boomed over Merlin. "One of the things Hogwarts wants to teach us is to never regret anything!"

Moriarty swung his Slytherin staff and tapped the locked little tower that no student had ever visited.

The next second, the lock opened instantly, and the entire small tower swayed under the influence of magic before finally taking flight!

Dumbledore stared wide-eyed at the scene. "Ever since the four leaders fixed them there, the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission have never been moved. I thought they couldn't be moved."

Grindelwald's lips twitched: "Moriarty probably can't move it either, but he can move the small tower."

……

The lock on the small tower opened automatically, as if an invisible pair of hands were turning the pages of the Book of Access.

The pages of the book were being turned with a rustling sound.

Hogwarts Castle was eerily silent, as everyone awaited the sacred moment of Merlin's name being erased from the castle.

This is definitely a significant event in Hogwarts history. Previously, Lalpo was only expelled from the school, but his name was not removed.

At this moment, the sound of turning pages stopped, meaning that the page with Merlin's name on it had been turned!

"When Merlin enrolled, I had already graduated from seventh grade," Blood Man Barrow suddenly spoke up behind a group of young wizards. "We were all among the first batch of students, and like me, Merlin received the most meticulous instruction from the four headmasters."

The young wizards turned around and saw that the silver bloodstains on Barrow had disappeared. They didn't know what this meant.

"boom!"

A loud bang quickly drew the attention of the teachers and students.

It was Merlin who launched the attack on Moriarty.

"Merlin, you finally couldn't resist," Moriarty's handsome face was full of a mocking smile, "You don't want your name to be erased, do you!"

"Ultimate Darkness!"

Merlin did not answer, but instead channeled dark elemental magic, plunging Hogwarts into boundless darkness!

It had a hint of embarrassment and anger.

"Didn't you say you're different from Gamp? Then stop with these outdated spells!" Moriarty said, a bright light flashing behind him.

Light Element Magic Relic, activate!

A beam of light from the future illuminates the sky, falls upon the earth, and fills the entire space.

The darkness was intercepted, shattered, and annihilated.

"Light elemental magic is so easy to use, isn't it? You must have been overjoyed when you obtained the light elemental magic relic, right?" Moriarty rode the golden griffin toward the light, or rather, at the speed of light!

"But what you don't know is that in that instant, you were cursed by elemental magic!"

"Only death can break the curse!"

Merlin had no time to dodge, so he had to hide in time.

"This trick is useless now that I've mastered the use of alchemical space!"

Moriarty confidently opened the alchemical space and slipped into the portal.

The golden griffin immediately made a strange expression, as if to say, "Where is that big person on my back?"

A second later, Merlin escaped from time in a sorry state, but the spatial portal opened immediately afterward, and Moriarty rushed out!

Merlin escapes into time again, and Moriarty once again uses the connection between the alchemical space and the brain dimension to find Merlin and force him to show himself!

After several rounds of competition, Merlin gave up.

"Young Merlin's most foolish decision was to teach you the Brain Dimensional Space!" Merlin's brows furrowed for the first time.

Having used the identity of "Light" for so long, Merlin felt that he would be very unsafe if he didn't have a foolproof way to escape.

However, Moriarty completely blocked Merlin's escape route.

Merlin's head was throbbing with pain; this was the result of excessive alchemy, a protest from his nerves and brain cells.

Moriarty is the same, but he has a wood elemental magic relic that provides a continuous healing boost.

"Merlin," Moriarty remounted the golden griffin, "you have a light elemental relic and I have a light elemental relic. You use dark elemental magic and I use the six elemental magics to resist. You can travel through the past, and I can also travel through space."

"If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, use them as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I'll start a countdown to your death!"

Merlin stared intently at Moriarty, his deep eyes flashing with a vicious sharpness.

"Since that's the case, then so be it!"

Merlin seemed to have regained his elegance and composure as "light".

He placed his right hand on his chest, above the Heart of Darkness, and drew something on his chest with strange gestures.

"The Symbol of God!?" Moriarty's eyes narrowed.

If he hadn't learned the divine symbols from Polly, he might not have been able to recognize them!

"Merlin wrote, 'Approaching'?"

"Hmph," Merlin sneered, "Moriarty, I'll sacrifice this world to eliminate you!"

"There can only be one legendary magician! And that is me, Merlin!"

"Come, God descend!"

"The Creator God awakens from annihilation, ushering in a new era, and the world is renewed!" Merlin shouted.

"Vatican City, vanish in my darkness!"

The voice just fell.

In Vatican City, endless black smoke billowed from underground, quickly engulfing the entire city.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

Muggles as far away as Asia and Africa could hear it, not to mention Moriarty and others.

"Jellicoe's team is still in the Vatican!"

Moriarty's heart clenched instantly.

He knew Merlin had a backup plan, but who could have imagined that Merlin's backup plan would be so ruthless?

After the sound faded, the Vatican disappeared.

The entire city—the entire country—vanished completely from the world.

From within the smoke, a tall and imposing figure slowly emerged.

He is compassionate, benevolent, and warm.

A vast and sacred aura emanated from the smoke, and people couldn't help but worship and revere that majestic figure...

"That's not all!"

Merlin said with a smug smile.

He looked in the direction of the Ministry of Magic.

"Vivian, my darling, sacrifice yourself one more time for me, just the last time!"

"After I become a god, I will immediately resurrect you, my love."

When Merlin uttered the name "Vivian," Moriarty immediately knew what was about to happen.

Vivian is Merlin's partner. With her love for Merlin, it can be said that she is willing to give everything for him, including her life!

"Teacher?" Diana was extremely surprised and panicked, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"I wanted Vivian to kill you," Merlin said angrily to Diana, "but she refused, so I'll have to ask the gods for help!"

Ministry of Magic.

Vivian is with Tonks and Fleur.

She heard Merlin's command and, to the astonishment of others, took to the blue sky.

She gazed longingly in Merlin's direction, and then…

"The God of Destruction is born from prosperity, destroying time and space, and annihilating the world." As she spoke, she gave her life.

We offer the life force of the ancient Elf Queen, and beseech the gods to descend!

In the modern metropolis of London, there is absolutely no idea what is about to happen.
