Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 47 The Reason for Becoming a Demon King

A wizard like Voldemort, who has gone very far on the path of magic, cannot possibly be unaware of how dangerous what he is doing is and how powerful his enemies are.

In the UK alone, there is a stumbling block like Dumbledore, so what about the whole world?

From Nicolas Flamel and those long-lived former headmasters of Hogwarts, we can see that there are definitely many wizards who have lived for a long time in the wizarding world. Who knows where a powerful wizard who has lived for hundreds of years will pop up.

This is just the wizarding society; the power of Muggles should never be underestimated.

Not to mention technological weapons.

You know, the real upper class of Muggles has known about the existence of wizards since ancient times, and the royal families of some countries have even been in contact with wizards.

Muggles have always been the ones calling the shots in the world since ancient times. Do they really not have any special tricks?
Bring the topic back to the beginning.

Tom Riddle, why did he become Voldemort and step into the center of the stage when the path to immortality was still flawed?
time.

Voldemort was suddenly startled when he heard Roger's words.

Many of the internal research of the Department of Mysteries are highly confidential, and it is difficult for non-insiders to understand them all.

Moreover, in-depth research on time has become a taboo since the major accident in 1899. That was before Voldemort was born. Voldemort, who has always been obsessed with dark magic and rarely paid attention to other things, has never thought about this.

…We need to find a chance to mess with the Department of Mysteries.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Voldemort looked at Roger who was still waiting for his answer and said, "Of course I know that the Horcrux is not perfect."

Although he neglected the issue of time and space due to his deviation from the right path and being blinded by one thing, even if time and space are not taken into account, in Voldemort's eyes, there are still some aspects of the Horcrux that can be improved.

"But as an individual wizard, my talents are limited, and I can't announce the path of Horcruxes for collective research."

A genius that only appears once in a century, the Dark Lord, who will become the leader of the Minister of Magic within five years after graduation, Voldemort has many glorious titles.

But this does not mean that Voldemort's magical talent is unprecedented. At least even the challenge of Dumbledore was enough to make him feel overwhelmed.

He is strong, but not beyond limits.

Just like the countless geniuses of ancient and modern times who wanted to upgrade from wizards to gods in the ritual school, the transformation school, and the externalization school, but all fell before the Wall of Sighs, he was unable to truly surpass ordinary wizards.

This answered Roger’s first question: the road to eternal life. It’s not that he didn’t want to continue walking on it, but that he couldn’t go on.

And Roger's second question.

"Do you know Grindelwald?" Just as Roger was somewhat curious about Voldemort's path, Voldemort was also curious about Roger.

I wonder what choice he would make if he encountered the same dilemma as me.

So he was willing to say a few simple words without involving any core secrets.

"Of course I know." Although he didn't know much, Roger still knew the general story of Grindelwald.

"For the greater good?"

Voldemort nodded through Quirrell's body: "Yes."

"What about my 'flag'?"

"Pure-blood." Roger wouldn't forget even that.

Voldemort was noncommittal: "Hmm."

"What do Death Eaters and Saints have in common?"

After recalling his original fate, Roger said uncertainly, "Wizards first?" "Yes, whether pure-blood wizards gather together or elite wizards gather together, what we are doing is actually the same. We are all gathering together to establish a new world order centered on wizards, a community of interests."

Since it is impossible to transcend alone, if you want to accomplish great things, you naturally need a group of hyenas of your own to succeed.

"So I gathered the Death Eaters, raised the pure-blood banner, and recruited all kinds of crazy people to join my army."

"I know that Muggle half-blood wizards are not weak, but half-blood wizards are not trustworthy. Many of them are not "wizards."

At this point, Voldemort couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile under Quirrell's turban: "If you have studied wizard history, you will find that from ancient times to the present, when Muggles were still weak, there were people who wanted to dominate Muggles, but they were all stopped."

"The ones who attack wizards the hardest are wizards themselves."

The power of wizards is stronger than that of Muggles, but the premise is that there are no traitors among wizards. As long as there is a powerful wizard willing to be a guide, the magical methods of wizards will be greatly reduced, and the situation will turn into wizards being easily killed by Muggles.

"The Order of Merlin, loyal to the royal family, protecting Muggles, and governing wizards, hehe." Voldemort found it extremely funny as he recited the declaration made by the great wizard Merlin when he founded this organization and then looked at the glory of Muggle civilization today.

"Roger, I'm over sixty years old. I've been keeping track of things since around 1930. You know, the Muggles back then were not very strong. Most of their heavy firepower weapons were not as powerful as a wizard's spell, and the Muggles' various production machines were also inefficient."

"But time seems to have been pressed on a shortcut key for Muggles. I watched with my own eyes as the power of Muggles continued to grow at a terrifying speed."

"And what about wizards?"

"There has been almost no progress! The so-called powerful wizards are even complacent with the antique spells that are hundreds or thousands of years old." Voldemort, who had spent his entire youth in the era of the fastest technological development, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something.

"People say that I can become the Minister of Magic in a few years, and I do have that ability. Even with the long life that the Horcrux has given me, I think I can still be the Minister of Magic for hundreds or thousands of years, but..."

"And then?" Voldemort asked in almost the same tone as Roger had just said these words.

"Muggle civilization is advancing rapidly, while wizard civilization is standing still. It is obvious what will happen in the future."

"Two hundred years? Or three hundred years? I, who used to be in a high position, will become a street rat in the whole world, an immortal street rat with an extremely long life span, always wanted and wandering!"

"That's not the fate I want."

"Roger, I have no interest in sailing a ship that is doomed to sink!"

Hearing this, Roger understood why Voldemort was so impatient.

time does not wait!
The Muggle civilization is visibly getting stronger, but my own growth in strength has entered a bottleneck period where I don't know how long it will take for a breakthrough. Not only myself, but the entire wizarding community can't see any hope of moving forward.

"So you became the Dark Lord when your future was clearly bright?"

"Yes, I must start this war and dominate everything before the Muggles can crush the wizards without any suspense."

Rather than a slow death, it is better to live forever in endless wandering.

Voldemort chose to give it a try.

Doesn't he know that his path is dangerous?

He knows it all too well.

But... from his humble beginnings in an orphanage to reaching the pinnacle of the wizarding world, becoming a noble and powerful person has become his obsession.

Fall into the dust again and become lowly?

Then he would rather wear the crown and die on the road of battle as a devil!
