Chapter 23: Scarlet Moon: Omen of Death
What exactly is the gap between a god and a wizard?
When there is no need to discuss what kind of freedom is, will freedom really come? Before the eon, the real Demon God Age, those Demon Gods who lived in the ten-dimensional space, were they completely free? How did the Age of the End of the Law come? Could it be that in fact, the true meaning of magic pursued by wizards is nothing more than an illusion?
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are just sudden. When the demigods of ancient times, Nanhua Sanren, expressed such feelings, did they already understand that the so-called gods were just puppets under the Heavenly Dao? For the sake of immortality, they gave up their desires, gave up everything, and even gave up themselves, what kind of immortality is this?
It's hard to imagine that a Muggle who knows nothing about wizards will think that this wizard is a legendary immortal when he sees a wizard who can fly, who can transfigulate, who can make potions that prevent death, and who can disappear at any time through apparitions?
The closest thing to a god in the wizarding world at the moment are dozens of demigods, most of whom are tired of worldly things and are only interested in how to become true gods.
Under these demigods, there are some extremely powerful super-first-class wizards, such as Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore, Principal Lan, Nick Lemay, and the Rain Summoner and Mordred, these super-first-class wizards are not much different from the demigods, and their strength far exceeds the imagination of ordinary wizards.
And among these super-first-class wizards, the one with the most hope of becoming a real demigod and breaking through the limits of ordinary wizards is not Tom Riddle with an incomplete soul, not Albus Duncando, nor Nick Lemay, who holds the Book of Rowling, but Gellert Grindelwald, who was once the most powerful dark wizard and is now even more powerful!
It is known that the Dark Lord of Europe graduated from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was a school that revolved around dark magic. Like Dumbledore, he showed great magical talent at a young age. However, he did not devote his energy to the pursuit of honors and medals, and had no interest in it. At the age of sixteen, Durmstrang found that he could no longer turn a blind eye to Gellert Grindelwald's wicked, chaotic experiments and expelled him from school.
Most of these experiments, which were considered "evil and messy", were extremely dangerous. Not only did these experiments violate the rules of many wizards, but they even spread to the Muggle world. Gellert Grindelwald has completely renounced any restraints, and he has gone into a wasteland where there is no path to speak of in his quest for truth and the true meaning of magic.
To date, much remains unclear about Gellert Grindelwald's journey as Voldemort's early adulthood. The verifiable record of Grindelwald is that he "traveled all over the world over the course of several months." Legend has it that during this time he traveled to the Far East in western Tibet, where he studied with some of the older shamans, and then he also appeared in the Americas, and legend has it that he briefly visited Ilvermorny.
Gellert Grindelwald then returned to continental Europe, and soon sailed from the North Sea to wizarding England. It is speculated that Grindelwald chose to visit his aunt's house, where he lived in Godric's Hollow, where he was introduced by the magical historian Bathilda Bathhata, where he met the equally talented Albus Dumbledore.
Bathilda Bassat is a very old mother-in-law who has more wrinkles on her face than a dry orange peel. In the words of Bathilda Basshat, "These two children who have tasted the vicissitudes of life prematurely hit it off at first sight."
This saga is mostly unknown, because years later, the two will face each other as enemies of life and death. One of them became the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. The wizards were baffled by their early relationship.
They plan to establish a wizarding organization, and establish wizards' leadership over magical Britain. At the time, both men believed that only wizards could bring the world back to normal. At that time, the Muggle world was brewing World War I, and the entire human race seemed to be on the verge of destruction. This was the prototype of the wizarding army that now rules half of Europe.
And the other thing that is puzzling is about the Deathly Hallows. Later, Gellert Grindelwald's important mark, like Voldemort's bones, was the Deathly Hallows. Originally created by the three Peverell brothers, this magical artifact has long been rumored to have the power to conquer death.
Even at that time, even in the incomparably magical wizarding world, the Grim Reaper was eternal. No one can escape from the hands of death.
As to where the two men got the clues, and the fact that they can't be verified, some insist that Bathilda Bassat informed Albus Dumbledore, while others believe that Gellert Grindelwald was the main driver of the matter.
What is certain is that both men have tried to conquer death - just like Voldemort and Nick Lemay - and have chosen to go through the Deathly Hallows.
While the two young wizards were carrying out what they thought was a "great cause", Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth Dumbledore, returned home from Hogwarts and blamed Dumbledore for not taking good care of his sister Ariana.
Poor Ariana is an eternal pain in the heart of Albus Dumbledore. At the time, wizards did not know that suppressing magic would have such terrible consequences. When Ariana is bullied by a group of Muggle children, she becomes afraid of magic and desperately tries to suppress her talent.
The magic of a wizard is born and a gift that cannot be refused. If there is anyone in the Dumbledore family who has the best magical talent, it is not Albus Dumbledore, but the youngest witch in the family, Ariana Dumbledore.
The surging magic turned into a terrible disease, and soon Albus's father found that his daughter had been completely destroyed. Once a wizard converts to Silence, he usually doesn't live to be eleven years old. The grief-stricken father attacked the Muggles and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, where he died soon after.
Soon after, the mother of the three siblings also died of depression. Albus Dumbledore, who was still young, had to take care of the entire family.
Albus Dumbledore didn't realize what kind of disease Silence was at the time, and the entire wizarding world still regarded Silence as a kind of legend, and it was not clear what this terrible monster was transformed by a very talented child of magic.
Coupled with the fact that she was young at the time and couldn't take care of others at all, Ariana's situation can be imagined.
The two Dumbledore brothers had a heated confrontation and drew their wands. At this time, Grindelwald, as an outsider, was very angry about this, thinking that Aberforth was a stupid child who had hindered his and Dumbledore's "grand plan", so he turned his wand to him.
Three people injured the innocent Ariana in the scuffle, and she died. Until now, no one knows who hurt Ariana.
Albus Dumbledore was grief-stricken, and Aberforth went mad attacking Gellert Grindelwald. Grindelwald had to flee. He could only leave this place temporarily.
Later, he stole the Elder Wand from Grigovich and went on his own to hold on to his ideals. He trained an army and became a famous Dark Wizard.
He has always been at the forefront of the most dangerous Dark Wizards, and stupid ordinary wizards have always referred to him as the Dark Lord along with Voldemort. Some even believe that Voldemort is a little more dangerous than Gellert Grindelwald.
In fact, it was just a prejudice on the part of wizards and British wizards, and they were just self-righteous. Grindelwald's claws never touched England, so the process of his rise is not widely known in England. But if you consider the territory ruled by Gellert Grindelwald and the enemies he faced with his formidable wizarding army, you know that Gellert Grindelwald is definitely no worse than Tom Riddle.
Even if he later gave up the Deathly Hallows and began to study other paths, it was something that ordinary wizards could not imagine and understand.
After his and Dumbledore's absence, he had been alone in the dungeons of Neumengard. Above the entrance to the dungeon is engraved the famous quote of Grindelwald: "For the greater good." "Gellert Grindelwald has been working on his unfinished magical research at Durmstrang here.
At this time, Gellert Grindelwald's vision was broader, and his ability and insight were not comparable to that of the sixteen-year-old. Not only did he absorb all the knowledge of wizards before him, but he also went crazy to learn Muggle science. After the combination of the two, Gellert Grindelwald was no longer a simple ordinary wizard at all, he became a magical monster like never before.
Newmengard Castle, which has become the headquarters of the wizarding army, and the upper echelons of the wizarding army are staying in this castle.
In the tallest tower of the castle, the black-robed wizard and the raincaller stood far away at the edge of the hall, and Gellert Grindelwald stood alone in the middle of the room. The magic shifted, ebb and flow, and contracted like a tidal wave around Gellert Grindelwald. The space around Gellert Grindelwald became a blur.
The Rain Summoner glanced at the black robe beside him, and he was a little surprised: this kind of magic, which was so powerful that it could directly affect the surrounding space, was not at all something that ordinary wizards could master.
The black-robed wizard was still shrouded in a wide wizard's robe, and even the Raincaller couldn't see his face. He didn't seem to know anything about the Rainsumer's puzzled gaze, just stood there silently.
Gellert Grindelwald's human emotions are gradually disappearing, replaced by cold, regular thinking. All the chaotic thoughts that represent human beings disappeared at this moment, and all thoughts became extremely clear, like the stars of the universe at high speed. There is nothing brighter in this world than stars, but stars are simple enough to be described by an equation.
Gellert Grindelwald's mind kept flashing countless magics, spells, formulas, magic patterns, quantum, string theory, space magic, space-time sequences...
After shielding all kinds of human emotions, Gellert Grindelwald has reached an astonishing height in terms of magic strength and spell-casting ability, and the cold state of "royal" magic makes Grindelwald feel that everything around him seems to be under control.
At this time, in his eyes, the magic patterns around the Raincaller could be seen clearly, and if he wanted, he could activate the magic pattern spell at any time to temporarily seal the Raincaller. And the black-robed wizard beside the rain summoner was like an ethereal black mist, as if there was nothing under the wide black robe.
In this state, Gellert Grindelwald immediately thought of the legendary Lich. The kind of monster that is no longer a living person, and lives on a life box. In his "royal" state, Gellert doesn't have any aversion to this kind of monster. After a slight sweep, he turned to the gray ball of light in front of him, the core of the Room of Requirement!
The brilliance of the demigods is shining, and when the emotions of ordinary wizards are replaced by the intuitive minds of demigods, Gellert Grindelwald bursts with magical brilliance like never before.
Gellert Grindelwald observed everything in a natural manner, neither cold, nor vain excitement, but with such engrossion.
At this moment, he is infinitely close to the demigod realm, the only difference is that he has not yet formed his own realm and realm. Once he has his own realm and kingdom, his state will become a source of water and earth and wood, and the duration will be greatly longer. At that time, he really became a supernatural wizard demigod creature beyond ordinary people.
The Rainsumer stared expressionlessly with a cold gaze, whether it was the imposing Dark Lord in front of him, or the deathly silent black robe beside him. He misses his blood-red moon of time and space: the sickle-like moon of death, a sign of death, heralding the time to kill.
Patterns began to appear around Gellert Grindelwald's body, and the gray ball of light in front of him began to slowly rotate and expand.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, a strange ball of light half a meter in diameter appeared in front of Gellert Grindelwald.
The surface of the orb of light is covered in an intricate pale golden pattern, an ancient pattern engraved on the core of the Room of Requirement, and any magic must require a carrier. The Room of Requirement, like the Sorting Hat, can read the mind of the wizard directly, know what the wizard "asks", and the magic skills required are highly skillful.
After extracting the wizard's needs through a kind of magic that is reminiscent of the gods, the core will activate the magic pattern accordingly, and then mobilize the corresponding space magic through the magic pattern formation, so that the wizard can finally get what he wants: broom room, utility room, practice room, bathroom, etc...
This powerful demonic item is simply not something that can be made in the current wizarding world. The Sorting Hat is also a manifestation of this magic, except that the Sorting Hat is endowed with the ability to speak, and the Room of Requirement can only fulfill the wishes of wizards through specific spatial magic.
