The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Loud noises echoed from London and the Vatican, causing panic among the Hogwarts teachers and students, who worried about the wizards of the Ministry of Magic and Jericho's party.

Moriarty, however, said, "Don't worry!"

His resounding and confident attitude was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

"Just as I can easily handle Merlin and the Savior, Lilith and Jericho's team will definitely be able to defeat the Destroyer and the Creator."

No sooner had he spoken than, as if to confirm Moriarty's words, a deafening explosion resounded through central London!

"boom!"

Everyone looked toward the source of the explosion, and there it was—the mighty, towering God of Destruction had expanded into a giant sphere and then exploded.

They were fried until not a single bit was left!

"The God of Destruction has fallen?" Dumbledore took off his half-moon glasses, rubbed his eyes, and looked incredulous.

Grindelwald, who was supporting Dumbledore, had already exited his youthful, fire-elemental magical transformation state and was now exhausted, his eyes fixed on the London sky.

"Those are Moriarty's women, aren't they? They all are!"

Above London, Lilith seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength and fell from the sky. Fortunately, Ishcher caught her and brought her to the ground. Zhang Tianxue, Violet, and Diana all rushed to her aid.

The uncertainty surrounding Lilith's fate has everyone on edge.

But before they could think, they saw a beam of white light appear in the direction of the Vatican.

It was bright white, and the light was extremely dazzling.

The pillar of light covers a vast area, encompassing almost the entire Vatican City.

Inside the pillar of light, people could clearly see the towering and majestic body of the creator god gradually disintegrating and disappearing!

"Even the Creator God has fallen?" Dumbledore's tone held a hint of surprise and admiration that he himself didn't realize. "That Jericho kid, he's really capable."

"But were the four people who fell from the sky Jericho and his companions?"

Grindelwald's eyesight seemed better than Dumbledore's; he squinted and saw Jericho, Soldaya, William, and Leon huddled together, plummeting rapidly due to lack of oxygen.

Merlin witnessed this scene and roared at Moriarty, "You don't want your lover and best friend to die, do you, Moriarty?!"

"You have already defeated two deities. If you are willing to forgive the Savior, I can give you a sacred artifact of light elemental magic, which will grant you the language of immortality and allow you to bring Lilith and Jericho back!"

Merlin grasped at Moriarty like a lifeline, hoping he would be persuaded, because as long as he had a savior, he could hide in the multiverse, or at worst go to a desolate, backward, low-level world.

Everyone looked to Moriarty. What would Moriarty choose?

If you want to save your lover and best friend, you have to let Merlin go.

But if they don't agree to Merlin's conditions, is there any hope for Lilith and Jericho?

Merlin sensed the conflicted emotions in the people and couldn't help but feel a little smug. Despite being at a disadvantage, he still had the power to sway people's hearts.

"Moriarty," Merlin's confidence returned somewhat, and his tone became playful, "the choice is in your hands. It might be an opportunity to change the fate of the multiverse. You..."

"Enough, Merlin!" Moriarty interrupted Merlin coldly.

He flew through the air and gave Merlin a mocking smile.

"You still want to trade with me on equal terms? You're always so self-righteous."

"If becoming the God of Ice, Snow, Thunder, and Fire still doesn't make you face reality, then what will you say then!"

The conch shell floating beside Moriarty suddenly blew automatically, and in an instant, the sound of wind swirled around him. Moriarty disappeared in the wind, completely transforming into the wind.

It is always present, always elusive.

"Wind elemental magic level 100, max level and become a god!"

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Merlin's forehead, and his eyes widened in horror.

"Wind element magic leading to godhood?"

"You're right! But that's not all!" Moriarty's voice rang out, and he suddenly appeared in front of Merlin!

The savior swung the divine scales at Moriarty, but missed. Moriarty disappeared again, but his voice rang out.

"I can kill you anytime I want!"

"This isn't a Disillusionment Charm, nor is it the invisibility effect of an Invisibility Cloak."

"Where the wind rises, that is when I, Moriarty, will appear."

Each sound, under the divine power of the wind element, transformed into beams of wind blades, passing through the savior and arriving instantly.

Merlin was hit before he could hide in time, and his body was covered in wounds from which blood seeped out.

"what!"

Merlin belatedly felt the pain, and then realized that his two big toes had been cut off!

"Moriarty!!!"

You'll regret this!!!

Moriarty paid no heed to Merlin's venomous roar. This time, his voice was louder than Merlin's, and it was as sacred, hollow, and grand as a god of destruction or creation.

"It seems you still haven't grasped the difference between us!"

"Even if you escape into time, you cannot avoid my attack."

"The power of God is never confined to reality; in the multiverse, wherever there is wind, there I am!"

"What do you think wind element is? Experience a little shock from the divine power of wind!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than four more wounds appeared on Merlin's face!

One of the wind blades pierced Merlin's left cheek, went through his cheek, and came out through his right cheek.

"Ugh..." Merlin spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly used dark elemental magic to replenish his life force and mental strength.

The savior wielded his divine weapon to try and capture Moriarty, but he was like a bear wielding a spiked club, getting completely outmaneuvered.

"There are differences even among gods."

Moriarty disregarded the savior.

"Some gods are gods because they can only be gods, but I am a god because there is no limit to godhood. Even the most powerful god is still called a god! How can a world pantheon fight against an elemental pantheon?"

After Moriarty finished speaking, he appeared from the wind and floated in the air.

Upon seeing Moriarty, Merlin and the Savior simultaneously launched an attack on Moriarty!

"Useless." Moriarty didn't defend at all, letting the attacks come at him. At this moment, the golden spoon and the snakewood wand were spinning.

"Earth Elemental Magic Level 100!"

"Wood elemental magic level 100!"

"Level up to godhood!"

Moriarty immediately emitted a yellow light, as warm as the sun, absorbing all the attacks.

Merlin stared at the scene in disbelief, his eyes filled with despair.

After the yellow light appeared, it turned into a bright green light. The snakewood wand expanded and transformed into a giant snakewood tree. Its massive roots, like skyscrapers, were deeply rooted in the earth. Then, it grew dense branches, forming a canopy that resembled a green sea of ​​clouds!

Moriarty's voice rang out:

"The power of God destroys the world, but the power of God will also restore it! All those who have suffered misfortune in this battlefield, recover!"

Countless green spots of light suddenly appeared in the tree canopy. A gust of wind blew by, and those spots of light drifted to the ground like dandelion seeds.

The earth around Hogwarts echoed with a rumbling sound, which then spread to the continental plates of the planet. The light spots were instantly transmitted to those who had suffered misfortune in the war, using the life force of God to change their fate.

The damaged city was thus restored to its original state!

The lives that tragically died are thus resurrected!

The injured lives were thus completely unharmed!

Lilith, Jericho, and the others were thus brought back to life!

The world was thus revived!

Moriarty's aura immediately weakened.

However, Moriarty was not worried at all. He had six divine forms, so what was wrong with switching between them at will!

"Next, the final step," Moriarty turned to Merlin, "is to finish you off." (End of Chapter)
