Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 549 I'm Just a Kind-hearted Wizard Passing By
The concept of parallel worlds is not difficult to understand.

So, after Li Wade's explanation, Dumbledore finally understood what was happening.

Moreover, Dumbledore quickly accepted this explanation.

As for why?
Just look at Tom's fighting style...

Can someone who isn't your own student fight like this?
Voldemort had no idea what love was!
But Tom, standing before him, understood the power of love and took it as the source of his strength! He even had many people he wanted to protect!
This is impossible for Voldemort!

Dumbledore had fully realized this after his battle with Tom.

Dumbledore watched James and Lily with amusement.

He was genuinely happy that the two students were still alive.

Suddenly, Dumbledore remembered something, "Since you can save James and Lily, then..."

“You mean Cedric Diggory?” Levi asked with a smile.

"Yes, he...already..."

“If the soul hasn’t dissipated and the life force hasn’t been completely exhausted, then he’s not truly dead. Take this.” Li Weide took out a green bead, which he had just created using the Law of Life and the Death Ring. “Go back and put it in Cedric’s mouth… This contains his soul and dissipated life force. Returning it to its rightful owner will naturally wake him up.”

Dumbledore took the green bead in shock, his heart filled with indescribable awe.

This young man is indeed extraordinary. Not only can he travel between different parallel worlds and points in time, but he can also intercept death and bring the dead back to life...

Moreover, he seems to know a lot about many things!
"What kind of person are you, really?" Dumbledore couldn't help but ask.

“Me? As you know, in my original world, I was also your student. But now… I’m just a kind-hearted wizard passing by,” Li Wade replied.

“You’ve helped us a great deal, Wade,” Dumbledore said gratefully. “So… what price do we need to pay?”

There is no free lunch in the world.

Although the young man claimed to be a kind wizard who was passing by, we couldn't just leave him without any response.

Li Weide smiled and said, "I don't need you to pay any price, Professor. I just hope you can become my friends. And that you can offer appropriate assistance when I need it in the future..."

“It seems you’ve run into some kind of trouble…” A glint of wisdom flashed in Dumbledore’s eyes.

“You could say that…” Li Weide slowly walked over, “Tom, release your Guardian Angel.”

Tom was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. What about me? However, he dared not be negligent.

"Oh well."

A white hydra suddenly appeared, coiling and circling in the air...

Dumbledore looked up at Hydra, his expression complex, but mostly one of relief.

The Tom Riddle in front of him was the Tom Riddle he truly wanted to see...

If his parenting hadn't gone wrong, Voldemort wouldn't have existed, and Tom might be teaching at Hogwarts now.

However, while Tom in this world became Voldemort, Tom in the other world became a completely good person, which is quite fortunate!

When we get back, it's worth celebrating with a few slices of lemon sorbet.

“When you discover companies bearing this mark in the wizarding world, I hope you will place some trust in them. This is my aid to the world… a good thing for both my world and yours,” Li Wade said.

"that's it?"

"That's it... The company's development will be of great help to the problem I need to solve. In return, we will help you completely eliminate Voldemort and restore peace to your world as soon as possible," Li Weide promised.

Since the timeline has been changed anyway, he has nothing to worry about.

“Of course, no problem.” Dumbledore agreed without much hesitation.

He still has confidence in his other self in the other world...

A person who can be completely trusted by another version of yourself in another world is unlikely to be a bad person.

Especially when the upright Tom appeared in front of him.

"Did I, from your world, ever tell you that you are really suited to be a professor?" Dumbledore couldn't help but ask.

From the conversation just now, he already knew that the reason why Tom had become like this was because of Li Weide's discipline!
That's why Dumbledore asked that question.

“You did mention that, but I’ll only consider it after I’ve resolved everything…” Li Weide said helplessly.

Tom frowned and said, "So what exactly happened... why won't you tell me?"

“The truth is too heavy, Tom… You don’t need to know right now. You just need to focus on improving yourself. I believe you can be of great help to me then.” Li Weide still refused to tell Tom the truth.

Tom's brow was furrowed, a mixture of dissatisfaction with Li Weide's decision and worry about the future.

The so-called truth that made Li Weide feel embarrassed and even led him to go to other worlds to call for help may be much heavier than he imagined.

Dumbledore looked at Tom, who was frowning, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

He had practically watched Tom grow up, but he had never seen him show such a worried expression before...

"What do you need me to do now?" Dumbledore asked.

Wade beckoned James and Lily over. "I'm entrusting them to you. Let them reunite with their family and friends. As for the reason for their resurrection... I'll have to trouble you to figure that out. I still need to go with Tom to eliminate Voldemort."

"Good." Dumbledore looked at James and Lily with delight; many people would be happy about their resurrection.

Especially Harry! That kid misses his parents so much!
Dumbledore suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, regarding Voldemort... I suspect he used Horcruxes. You need to find all of his Horcruxes to completely destroy him."

“Your guess is correct; he did indeed use Horcruxes. While we are hunting Voldemort, we hope you can help destroy all of his Horcruxes,” Li Wade said.

“But…aside from a diary that has been destroyed, I don’t know the location of the other Horcruxes,” Dumbledore said, frowning.

"This is the location of all of Voldemort's Horcruxes." Li Wade took out a piece of parchment and wrote down exactly what each Horcrux was and where it was located.

Dumbledore took the parchment and glanced at it. When his gaze fell on the last name, his brows furrowed.

“Harry…Harry is a Horcrux too…I knew it, I had suspected it before.”

He looked at Lily and James with a complicated expression.

James and Lily understood what he meant. "Sir, what should Harry do? Does he really have to die to... to make Voldemort's last Horcrux disappear?"

“Actually, the solution is in your hands, Professor.” Li Wade looked at the Elder Wand in Dumbledore’s hand.

Dumbledore followed Livid's gaze and looked at his wand...

“The Elder Wand won’t harm its master… right?” Livid reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore looked at his wand with sudden realization... "I see." Dumbledore laughed.

"Well then... we'll be going now. You can ask the Potters about the rest after we leave. I'm sure they'll give you a more detailed account of the truth."

As Li Weide spoke, he placed his right hand on Tom's shoulder and vanished in an instant...

Dumbledore stared at the spot where they had disappeared, hesitant to speak.

He really wanted to ask Li Weide if, since the other party could intercept them from the Grim Reaper, he could at least let him see their souls one more time, even if they couldn't be resurrected...

……

"Where are we going now?"

In the air, Li Wade and Tom were constantly flying using the flight spell.

“Go find Nagini. Then kill it. It escaped just now, but it wasn’t with anyone, so it couldn’t have gone far,” Li Weide said calmly.

"What?!" Tom looked at Levi in ​​shock. "But she's our friend!"

“The Nagini of this world is not our friend. And she has lost all humanity… Most importantly, she has been turned into a Horcrux by Voldemort,” Li Wade said calmly.

Tom was speechless for a moment. He really didn't want to kill Nagini, but... now he had a reason to do so.

"Don't worry, our friend Nagini is still waiting for us at home. We're only tracking down a wild snake that has killed many innocent lives."

“Sigh… alright.” Tom was finally convinced. “When we get back, we’ll have to send Nagini some gifts to apologize, after all, we killed her.”

"I'll listen to you," Li Weide replied.

……

Nagini hadn't gone far, as expected. Levi and Tom found its tracks in a forest ten kilometers from the cemetery.

"Shall we make a move?" Tom gripped his wand tightly, looking down at the giant snake on the ground from the air.

"Don't make a move yet... let's follow them."

"Are you planning to follow Nagini to find Voldemort?"

“Yes, it will definitely go back to Voldemort… Their relationship is anything but ordinary,” Li Wade nodded.

“No wonder… I felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw Nagini. I never imagined that we would actually be so close after all these years,” Tom murmured.

Li Weide laughed, "Haha, so now you admit you're Voldemort?"

Tom's face flushed red. "I know, no matter how much I deny it, that shameful guy was indeed me..."

“I was just joking, Tom, but that’s not you anymore,” Li Wade said softly.

Tom was silent for a long time, then said, "Thank you, Wade..."

This "thank you" contained so much.

It was both gratitude for Li Wade's reformation and thanks for agreeing to let him deal with Voldemort personally.

Li Weide patted Tom on the shoulder. "You're welcome, Tom. The laughs you guys provide are the greatest reward for me."

Tom didn't think much of the first half of the sentence; he even found it a little sentimental.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the veins on his forehead bulged again!
“Wade…has anyone ever told you that you sometimes don’t consider the context when you speak?”

……

Despite his severe injuries, Voldemort was ultimately unable to escape.

Under Tom's relentless attacks, the newly reconstructed body was shattered once again...

Nagini was also killed.

"He doesn't seem to be dead yet." Tom frowned as he watched the fleeing ghost.

"It's alright, we just need to take him down. We can leave the rest to Professor Dumbledore. Once he destroys the other Horcruxes, Voldemort's ghost will also cease to exist," Li Wade said with a smile.

"Oh..." Tom sat down on a rock nearby, feeling lost and dejected.

"what happened?"

"It's...it's weird. You can't really understand this feeling...it's that...strange feeling of killing yourself," Tom said, frowning.

Voldemort wasn't him, but he was still him nonetheless. The feeling of killing himself was incredibly strange.

“There are indeed very few people who can understand that.” Li Weide also sat down next to him.

"When are we going back?" Tom stretched and lay down on the big rock.

After three consecutive battles, even with the magic potion to replenish his strength, Tom was still exhausted.

“Let’s wait a few more days. We can stay here in case anything goes wrong.” Li Weide lay down as well. “Once things settle down, we can go back.”

The key issue is that the system hasn't even given any warning yet. If I go back now, there's no way to fix the system.

Li Wade guessed that Dumbledore would only give a formal hint after he destroyed all the Horcruxes.

"Oh..." Tom looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly sighed, "Life is truly amazing... Just a few choices changed the future completely... I was destined to be a bad person, but because of you, I've become a good person now..."

“Yes, on the road of life, choices are always the most important…” Li Weide said this, and then suddenly thought of himself.

He was thinking of himself in another world.

That Li Weide, wasn't he using merit points to guide himself onto the righteous path because he was worried that he would really become a dark tyrant like Voldemort?
This is actually going overboard. Do you think I'd really become a villain without some kind of merit point? I'm a perfectly good person...

Li Weide suddenly sat up.

wrong……

Without the guidance of a merit system, would I really be a good person?
The person who knows you best is yourself...

In the other world, Li Weide didn't have much time left anyway. If it was really unnecessary, why would he waste even more time by adding merit points to the system?
"Tom...do you think I'm a good person?" Li Weide suddenly asked.

"You?" Tom glanced at Li Weide, then shook his head. "It's hard to say... I just feel you're extremely contradictory. Sometimes I think you're incredibly evil, but just when I think you're about to do something outrageous, you suddenly become a good person again, it's just inexplicable... Sometimes I can't help but wonder, since there are so many parallel worlds and so many possibilities, is there perhaps a timeline where... Li Weide is a complete villain?"

Li Weide stared at Tom in astonishment, a chill creeping into his heart...

Indeed... out of so many timelines, is Li Weide really the only one left?

There is absolutely no evidence to prove this!
Tom, standing nearby, suddenly shuddered. "Damn, that kind of world is just too hopeless... You may be annoying now, but I'd rather be an ugly monster like Voldemort than see you become a complete villain... That kind of world is simply hell!"
