Chapter 225: The Meaning of War
"Looks like you've got a guest coming." Grindelwald smiled at Dumbledore when he saw Xiwen coming from opening the door of the dimension.
Seeing this, Dumbledore also turned his head to look at Xiwen, and asked suspiciously, "Strange, has something happened?" ”
Xiwen hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath, looked at Grindelwald on the top of the tower, and said, "Since Mr. Grindelwald is also here, then I will talk about it together." ”
"We can't continue the war anymore, now there is a demon god who can increase his power with the help of negative emotions, and he is eyeing the world all the time!" Xiwen said solemnly.
"The frequency of war will only give that demon god more power, and at the same time, it will also weaken the strength of this world itself to resist him, and we will be in an extremely dangerous situation!"
"Demon God...... Was Miss Ravenclaw's prophecy fulfilled? Dumbledore's expression sank and he asked in a solemn voice.
"That's right, as Lady Ravenclaw said, the Demon God has come in the midst of this chaos!" Speaking of chaos, Shivin glanced at Grindelwald and replied with the same seriousness.
There is a saying in the Ravenclaw prophecy, "The flood of black fire sets off the waves of the world", and the black fire probably foreshadows Grindelwald's fire shield protection; And he really set off a worldwide war, which led to the current chaos.
The third sentence of the prophecy, "The demon god is coming in chaos" seems to imply the current situation of war. As a result, Shivan's gaze at Grindelwald was not very friendly.
"Just now, I had already had a fight with the projection of the demon god, and I barely escaped back." He suppressed his displeasure with Grindelwald and continued. "If a projection can have such power, then it's hard for me to imagine what a huge catastrophe it will bring to the world when the true body of the demon god comes!"
At this time, Grindelwald on the side suddenly spoke: "I did foresee the picture of the arrival of the demon god, and I can see that his power is indeed extremely powerful, and it is not easy to compete with the power of a wizard. ”
"So what do you mean...... Agree to stop the war? Shiwen looked at him suspiciously, feeling that Grindelwald should not be such a good talker.
"Agree to stop the war? Hehe, Mr. Strange, you're thinking too much about war, aren't you? Grindelwald suddenly sneered and said indifferently.
"When a war arises, it is like a fire lit on the grassland, either the fire will completely burn the grassland to ashes, or the storm on the grassland will completely extinguish the fire, and there is no other way to stop."
"What's more, when I was about to face that demon god, I thought that this war was even more necessary."
"Strange, Albus, if you can look a little higher and stop seeing war as a flood beast, then you will naturally find that it is nothing more than a way of redistributing resources in the world. In essence, war is just a process of survival of the fittest, and the sacrifices that accompany this process are only for the greater good! ”
"After this war is over, I will completely break down all barriers in the wizarding world, and gather all the living forces in the wizarding world to fight against the so-called demon god together. After the war, the magical world will not be like it is now, and can only rely on scattered and scattered forces to resist. ”
"I dare to assert that it is impossible for this split form of the magical world to resist that powerful demon god!"
"Albus, wasn't it your and my shared desire to change the wizarding world for the better?" Grindelwald stared at Dumbledore's sharp light blue eyes with his strange eyes, and said in a voice that was earnest, even heartfelt.
"As long as you are willing to join our side, the two of us will be able to quickly end this war, and then we will be able to better pool all our forces and fight against that so-called demon god wholeheartedly!"
Xiwen's eyes widened at this time, and he was stunned by Grindelwald's words.
Grindelwald's words were too tempting, and Xiwen felt that if the person standing opposite him was himself, he would probably have been persuaded by his heartfelt words at this time, and maybe even carried his wand and went to work for him......
I don't know what Dumbledore would think in the face of Grindelwald's remarks?
Shivin looked at Dumbledore with some concern, only to find that his eyes were as sharp and resolute as ever, and he didn't seem to be affected by Grindelwald's words at all.
"I know that what you're saying may have some truth to you, Grindelwald." Dumbledore shook his head slowly, calling Grindelwald by his last name, and whispered. "But the path you envision is undoubtedly too cruel for ordinary wizards and ordinary people in the Muggle world."
"Existence is not necessarily justified, and although war has accompanied humans and wizards for thousands of years, of all the options available, war is always the last means to achieve the goal, and it is also the most costly."
"So if we can talk about it, take a step back, and come to a consensus, the number of injured people will naturally not be as many as the start of the war, and our strength will be greater." Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's heterochromatic eyes without giving in, and said calmly.
"Dumbledore, if you can't let go of those inferior races, we will never come to a consensus!" Grindelwald also quietly changed his name for Dumbledore and said coldly. "Do you really want a divided world to face that demon god?"
"But I don't want to face the Demon God from a world full of holes!" Dumbledore said in the same voice.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes met as if sparks were ignited.
At this time, seeing that the situation was not good, Xiwen hurriedly floated between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, blocking the view of the two with his transparent body.
This is not the time for these two men to start a dispute. Either of them is an extremely important force in the wizarding world against the Demon God, and any loss of these two combat power ceilings is a major weakening of the current living force!
With his back to Grindelwald, Sivin said to Dumbledore, "Let's go back and discuss what to do, Dumbledore." ”
"Okay." Dumbledore naturally didn't want to be so hasty with Grindelwald, so he said lightly.
Then, together they walked into the golden circle of light that was still not closed.
Just before the aperture closed, Grindelwald's voice came from behind.
"Dumbledore, if you can't think of a way to deal with the Demon God, you can ask me for help." He whispered. "After all, we still have a common goal of fighting the demon god......"
Dumbledore paused in his footsteps and nodded slightly.
"Okay."
……
Through the dimensional gates, Dumbledore and the ghost Severn arrived in Lemay's safe house in Paris.
In the safe house's workshop, Helena removed the Ravenclaw crown from her head, causing it to float in mid-air. Lemay, on the other hand, was holding some unknown instrument to observe and test it.
"It's really amazing, I didn't expect to be able to completely change the nature of the alchemy product through the arrangement of specific runes!" Lemay's eyes widened and she muttered. "No, no, there are other forces in there...... I have to say, Royina Ravenclaw is really a great alchemist! ”
"Excuse me, I need to interrupt you, Nicol." Dumbledore entered the safe house and went straight to Lemay, interrupting. "Without further ado, I want to find out more about that demon god now, we need your wisdom."
Lemay reluctantly glanced at the Ravenclaw crown floating in front of her, but nodded anyway, and motioned for Helena to put the crown back on and look at Dumbledore.
"All right, Mr. Strange. You can give us a detailed description of what the so-called demon god is. Dumbledore saw that Lemay's gaze had turned, and asked Sven.
Everyone present stood up and listened to Xiwen's story.
Xiwen bowed his head slightly, organized the language in his mind a little, and then said eloquently:
"It all started with the warning that one of my juniors from another universe brought me......"
