Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 186 The strong must ruthlessly abuse the weak!
Voldemort's time and space witchcraft plan has progressed to this point, although it cannot be said that it has reached its peak.

But if you continue to practice, it will be difficult to make much progress.

When the diary Horcrux has devoured enough other Horcruxes and other 'selves', devouring more Horcruxes will have a very limited impact on its growth.

This problem was nothing in Voldemort's eyes before. After all, he had no sense of crisis at that time. He didn't know what Roger had done or how much Roger had grown.

But things are different now.

Since entering the Ministry of Magic, the tip of Roger's iceberg has become apparent before his eyes.

He could no longer pretend not to see it.

So when he reached the bottleneck, Voldemort decisively gave the diary Horcrux, this soul fragment that recorded his thoughts in his youth, further cultivation.

Let him gain a physical body!
Logically speaking, the next step would be for the young Tom Riddle to replace the old Voldemort and complete his self-replacement.

But there was a small accident in the process.

This is the time and space archive plan that Grindelwald mentioned at the beginning.

Facing an opponent like Roger, Voldemort believed that only by being inhuman enough and becoming more and more inhuman could he have a chance of winning.

He ultimately did not reject Grindelwald's proposal.

This led to a problem in the last step of the time and space witchcraft.

Originally, Tom Riddle was supposed to completely devour Voldemort, but now Tom Riddle and Voldemort have swapped positions.

Tom became the 'main self', while Voldemort became a special Horcrux.

For Voldemort, this was not a bad ending.

All life has the instinct to survive.

If possible, no one wants to die.

Even Voldemort is willing to give up his current self and become a better self in order to realize his ideals.

If he had a choice, he still didn't want to die.

After accepting Grindelwald's proposal, although becoming a Horcrux was not a good result, at least he still retained a certain degree of self.

But Voldemort could accept it, but young Tom Riddle found it difficult to accept.

The word "gu" in time witchcraft has already revealed the essence of this technique.

This is the brutal technique that emerged after a large number of the same kind killed each other, and the King of Gu emerged.

Even though the diary Horcrux has some advantages, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe.

If other Horcruxes can defeat the diary Horcrux, Voldemort will not interfere. What he wants is the survival of the fittest!

Tom Riddle encountered many dangerous situations in the process of becoming the "Poison King". There were several times when he almost lost everything and became the nourishment of other Horcruxes.

After suffering various blows, Voldemort became free of too much psychological burden and accepted the replacement of his current self by other selves.

But Tom Riddle hadn't experienced that.

In his opinion, Voldemort was a guy who had tried several times to completely destroy him!
Although they were originally one, after countless Horcrux battles, Tom Riddle and Voldemort had become estranged.

Originally, Tom Riddle could still use the fact that Voldemort would be devoured by him sooner or later as a "stabilizer" in his heart, but now...

Seeing Tom's look, Voldemort said nothing more on this topic.

Instead, he continued the previous topic: "I know what you are thinking, but you have to consider the overall situation."

"Let's continue talking about the press conference." "...the overall situation, hehe." With a sarcastic smile on his face, Tom Riddle muttered something in a low voice, but did not dwell on it too much.

There is Grindelwald between him and Voldemort. If he doesn't deal with him, there is no way he can deal with Voldemort.

Tom Riddle had no intention of being brash with words.

In his opinion, meaningless threats are a sign of cowardice.

We’ll see what the future holds.

"There's nothing much to say about the press conference, just like I just said."

"The little prophet's statement was strong, but not strong enough, so in my opinion it was 'almost enough'."

People have different thoughts at different ages.

This is no exception with Voldemort.

Voldemort now devotes everything he has to his ideals. In order to gain the right to rule everything forever, he is willing to accept anything.

But Tom Riddle was different. In his time, he believed more in 'the strong are respected'!
Being strong is right, being strong is justice, and being strong is the answer to everything!

However, in the eyes of young Tom, the wizards around him were all mediocre and incompetent. Even Dumbledore was just a weak man who looked powerful.

As the saying goes, the heroes of ancient and modern times are still to be seen today. He feels that he is the most powerful. Even if he is not qualified now, one day in the future, he will stand at the pinnacle of everything.

But when the young Tom traveled across decades of time to 1992 in the body of a Horcrux, the situation changed.

What he was facing was no longer the mentally aging Dumbledore, nor the few big and small cats in the British wizarding world.

Dumbledore became cautious, Grindelwald returned with great ambition, and Nicolas Flamel, the legendary alchemist, regained his youth.

And that outrageous prophet, Roger Virgil!

What kind of lineups did Tom face back then, and what kind of lineups is Tom facing now?
To be honest, after Tom ended the torture of the time witchcraft and truly came into the world, and knew what enemy he would be fighting, his first thought was...

How about we vote?
In this situation, Voldemort, do you think there is any need for you to struggle?
Are you serious about ruling these things?
This was Tom's thought before.

But after the press conference, Tom had some different ideas.

Just like when he saw Dumbledore back then, he had a similar feeling when he looked at Roger now.

To people like Rita Skeeter, Roger's comments were strong enough.

A little wizard who was only 12 years old made a firm and sharp speech against the political forces of other countries.

But that's not the case in Tom's eyes.

Tom saw and remembered how the political struggle caused by the school board was strangled in the cradle by Roger.

It was because he felt Roger's strength that he had the idea of "surrendering".

But now, Roger clearly has this level of power, but he didn't just overturn the table? Didn't he gather his followers to suppress all disobedience?
But it's about 'Don't say I didn't warn you'.

This seemed a bit weak in Tom's eyes.

The strong are absolutely right.

The strong must ruthlessly abuse and dominate the weak!
This is what a truly strong person should do in Tom Riddle's eyes!

"It seems like there's still a lot of fighting to do in this battle..."
