Chapter 200: The Doppelganger Project
In fact, as early as the first time he came out of the Veil of Death, Severus had such a plan - to create a doppelganger.
In the wizarding world, it's not that wizards can't conjure up objects that are identical to themselves.
For example, Professor McGonagall, who teaches Transfiguration, since she can conjure a big fat pig that is alive, it is easy to conjure up a "self".
However, when it comes to the actual battle, there is never a wizard who transforms into "himself".
Compared to a certain Hokage world, shouldn't the clone technique be very important? That's one of the three basic ninjutsu!
Severus also studied this, and the final result was, sure enough, wizards were not suitable for clones!
It's not that the doppelganger is useless, but the gains outweigh the losses.
It is not an easy task for a wizard to turn other objects into "himself", or rather, only a wizard with an extremely high degree of transfiguration can do it.
Such a wizard is synonymous with strength in its own right.
However, the embarrassing thing is that the "people" conjured by Transfiguration can easily reveal flaws - there is no magic!
And if you want to endow magic and ensure human form, Severus estimates that only wizards like Dumbledore, Voldemort, and himself who are already standing at the apex of the wizarding world can do it.
However, such a wizard is more likely to spot flaws, and the conjured people can't fool even a second - they don't have a soul!
Wizards like Severus and Dumbledore no longer simply look with the naked eye in battle, they will also use magic to probe, which is a method that elite wizards can master, and finally, they can also perceive the soul and will!
That's the way that only the best wizards can master.
Except, of course, the resurrected Voldemort.
That guy reached the top level by playing with his soul, although he has a powerful magic power, but his own weakness in the soul is still very big, and he can't sense the soul at all.
But Severus swore that he could still see through the conjured "people" at a glance.
And when facing a low-level wizard, who is a current student at Hogwarts, the one who can conjure a "human" can release more powerful magic, and there is no need to do anything more.
As a result, there is no soil for survival here.
It's like when there was a shadow-level war in the Hokage, there was never one who could put a basic doppelganger technique, and there would not be even a little delay!
Therefore, the more advanced shadow clones became the goal of Severus's research.
However, unlike in the Hokage, as long as the chakra is separated, an identical shadow clone can be created, and it is even so real that even the top-level Otsuki Kaguya can't find it.
In the wizarding world, if you want to create an identical clone, you can only separate the soul.
But are souls so easily separated?
It's certainly hard for other wizards.
But for Severus, who had two souls in his own right, it was simple.
Not to mention that there is still a little bit of Professor Snape's will that has not merged!
In other words, this makes it possible for Severus to make a clone.
Then, it is how to channel that trace of will, cultivate, grow, and then resurrect.
See?
The whole process is extremely similar to Voldemort's soul tablet resurrection, that is, the diary-kun in "Chamber of Secrets".
Voldemort himself was extremely worried about the destruction of his soul tablet, and similarly, he should also be worried that the soul tablet would replace the main soul, so he didn't think about such a problem at all.
None of that is a problem here at Severus.
First, there is a question of disparity in power.
Even if it's a clone, how strong can it be? According to Severus's estimate, he could compare to the original Professor Snape and burn high incense.
Then there's the question of priority.
For a young man who was born in a flower grower and grew up under the red flag, he basically wouldn't think too darkly, and besides, Severus didn't really mind what ambitions the doppelganger had.
You know, even if Snape is bent on death, Severus has not been able to fully fuse, let alone now, the more powerful Severus. Snape.
Once separated, it is even more difficult to merge.
But after so many years, Severus has long thought that what he wants is to break and transcend this world.
So, it doesn't matter if you leave this doppelganger here in the end.
When the doppelganger succeeds, he will be Severus. Snape, I'm still Zhang Jin!
…
Take Dumbledore into the office in the cellar, then put the trolls down, set up the fire, sprinkle the potions, and start the barbecue!
"Severus, what are you doing?" Dumbledore asked in surprise, his hand had already touched the Elder Wand.
"As you can see." Severus said disapprovingly, "Do you want to point your wand at me?" ”
Severus skimmed Dumbledore's hand as he touched his wand, and then said meaningfully.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, let go of his wand's grip after a moment.
"I believe in you." He said calmly, "Still, I hope you can trust me." ”
He didn't use those funny expressions anymore, but said with a rare serious look.
"Of course, Dumbledore, or how did you get in!" Severus said sarcastically.
By this time, the two had trusted each other enough, and Dumbledore had just acted subconsciously.
"You're collecting Nidhogg's will?!" Dumbledore, who reacted, quickly understood Severus's behavior.
"Or else? Barbecue? ”
"Well, let's not talk about such cruel topics." Dumbledore said with a dry smile, throwing another cockroach into his mouth.
Severus looked at the old bee that was still eating with disdain.
"Cruel, hehe..."
"What's the other 'you' you said earlier?" Dumbledore finally couldn't help but ask after eating a dozen cockroaches in a row.
During this time, Severus was dealing with trolls.
It wasn't easy to get that bit of will from the troll, so Severus didn't have time to take the initiative to deal with an old bee, but Severus answered the old bee's question anyway.
"I plan to split into a clone, and then the main body will enter the Death Veil to help Merlin and King Arthur, and the follow-up plan will be completed by the clone." Severus described it simply, of course, it couldn't be very specific, "In the end, as long as this doppelganger is dead, he will naturally merge with me again." ”
Severus told him about his plan, and Severus, true or not, didn't know what would happen next.
However, it is still very clear that Voldemort is not the last enemy, as long as he destroys all his Horcruxes and then destroys him.
This was not difficult for Severus, and it was for this reason that he set a three-year deadline, and three years later, the day of Voldemort's resurrection would also be his real death date.
As for what will change, then we will see when the time comes, anyway, plans and everything are always used to break.
Which of the main characters do you see is really going according to plan?
Even the best plan can be ruined by something weird!
One thing is certain, though, that the current wizarding world is no longer enough for Severus to break through the current bottleneck, which is one of the reasons why he wants to enter the Veil of Death again.
After all, it's easier to break through there.
"Hehe, don't lie to me, Severus." Dumbledore continued to eat cockroaches, "Create a life, this is a realm that only gods can set foot in, how are you going to make it?" ”
"Gods? We've already killed some, haven't we? ”
Severus would have liked to say that building a football team would be a breeze if I wanted to.
But he said it very seriously: "But I still need your help,"
Severus looked at Dumbledore seriously: "First of all, I need the Philosopher's Stone!" ”
