Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 554 I traded one life for one with Voldemort! Death praised my good physique!

"The sooner the better?" Tom looked at Li Weide, his face somewhat pale.

“Yes…the sooner the better!” Li Weide said, patting Tom on the shoulder.

Tom took a deep breath and silently tightened his Hydra coat. "I'm off then... I'll get a fast one!"

Faced with this situation, the teachers and students on the other side were all completely bewildered...

Dumbledore is dead, Harry Potter is dead, and Voldemort has led the Death Eaters to their doorstep.

There could be no more desperate situation than this.

But... for some reason, the Death Eaters in front suddenly exploded...

And the one who caused all of this seems to be that extremely young boy in the distance.

It seems... there's a glimmer of hope again?
"You! How is this possible!" Voldemort was initially furious, but when he saw Tom approaching, he was completely shocked.

Anyone would be shocked to suddenly see someone who looks exactly like them when they were young.

Especially when that person is clearly on the opposite side!

Tom approached, not bothering to waste any more words with Voldemort...

Including the previous world, he killed a total of eleven Voldemorts like that! A full eleven!
Tom simply lifted his jacket and pulled out a Thompson submachine gun...

"Da da da……"

The submachine guns spewed out flames, and bullets rained down on Voldemort!
"Ugh! How dare you!"

Seeing someone who looked exactly like him pull out a Muggle weapon, Voldemort was furious!

He didn't even notice that Harry, whom Hagrid was holding, had instantly revived and run away...

Of course, for a wizard of Voldemort's caliber, even with firearms modified by alchemy, it would be very difficult to hit him without the element of surprise in a sneak attack.

Voldemort roared and brought his Elder Wand down with a fierce blow.

The incoming magic bullets were instantly torn apart by the overwhelming magic power!

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort used his signature spell after deflecting the bullet!

however……

Tom was just waiting for this moment!
He neither dodged nor flinched, but simply flicked his wand lightly...

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"boom!"

Tom, who was hit squarely by the Killing Curse, was blasted away!
Voldemort, however, stood frozen in place...

It's not that he doesn't want to move, but...

A thin line of blood slowly appeared on his neck!
thump!
Voldemort's headless body lay on the ground... (Turning to dust is a movie setting; in the original books, Voldemort's body remained after his death.)
The giant snake Nagini roared and charged toward them.

However, Neville Longbottom, who was standing nearby, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pulled the Gryffindor sword directly from the Sorting Hat, beheading the child with a single blow!
The Horcruxes were completely destroyed, and Voldemort... died!

Voldemort never imagined, even in his dying moments, that someone would dare to withstand the Killing Curse head-on, not dodging or flinching, but instead seizing the opportunity to attack directly instead of dodging!
There is no defense, only offense!
So Voldemort misjudged the situation and was instantly killed by Tom, who traded his life for Voldemort's...

Everyone was stunned, including Li Weide, who was standing not far away.

In the distance, the teachers and students of Hogwarts rushed over, their faces filled with grief.

Although they didn't know who this young man was who risked his life to exchange one life with the Dark Lord, whoever he was, he could be called a true hero!
"puff!"

Just then, Tom on the ground suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood to the side, then writhed on the ground, struggling to get up...

This completely baffled everyone.

Historically, only Harry Potter is known to have survived the Killing Curse.

But this person seems to be an exception?
But regardless, the hero is still alive! That's a good thing!
And... Voldemort is dead! The Death Eaters were also blown to bits!
It seems like they...won?
Realizing this, the teachers and students of Hogwarts cheered instantly...

Li Weide grabbed Tom and pulled him up, then pulled out a bottle of potion, pried open Tom's mouth, and poured it in.

"No way... I haven't even paid you a single Galleon in salary, what are you doing risking your life for! How come I never realized you were this brave before?"

Tom's move was so impressive that it stunned Li Weide.

I hadn't even done anything wrong, and this kid almost killed me...

"Cough cough..." Tom choked on the potion, almost coughing his lungs out. "Wasn't...didn't you say we needed a quick victory? This is the fastest way to defeat him...Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me how fast it is! Besides, didn't you say this suit can withstand at least fifty Killing Curses, so I..."

“Being able to endure it doesn’t mean you won’t get injured. You’re finished now, you’ll be bedridden for at least ten days to two weeks… and there will be side effects and all…” Li Weide sighed.

"No! You didn't tell me about the side effects!" Tom was dumbfounded. "You...you've tricked me again..."

"Are you stupid?! This ability to protect against the Killing Curse is for survival! If you accidentally get hit by the Killing Curse, getting injured or experiencing some side effects is better than dying outright. And what you did... just charged straight at it! If this ability to protect against the Killing Curse could make you completely unharmed, why would I set up challenges for you and train you to defeat Voldemort?! You could just charge straight in!" Li Weide scolded, exasperated.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

Tom was completely stunned after being sprayed with spittle all over his head.

"I thought you were so smart, you would know such a simple thing without me having to tell you..."

"Brother... could you please tell me earlier next time!"

Injured and enraged, Tom rolled his eyes and fainted...

Li Weide pinched Tom's philtrum, waking him up abruptly.

"No... can you just make me pass out?" Tom cried, tears streaming down his face. "Only then can I escape reality for a while!"

"Tsk... Actually, things aren't as serious as you think. Although there are a few side effects, it won't do much harm to your body. I have so many potions; I'm sure I can heal you quickly," Li Wade comforted Tom.

"Is that really true?" Tom immediately perked up.

However, he quickly asked hesitantly, "Then... what are the minor side effects?"

"It's nothing, it just reduces your lifespan by ten or twenty years, it won't have any impact on your current health..."

"Ugh..." Upon hearing this, Tom's eyes rolled back, and he suffocated again with a groan...

Although Tom is now forced to behave well, it doesn't mean he doesn't value his life!
Although he didn't directly pursue immortality, he still hoped to live as long as possible!

That's terrible; ten or twenty years of life have been gone just like that.

Tom was incredibly magnanimous not to have died of anger...

"Why did he faint again? This child... has such a temper..." Li Weide pinched his philtrum again to wake him up.

"Stop pinching me, you've pinched me so hard I'm all swollen!" Tom woke up again, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Waaaaah... My lifespan... Li Weide, how am I going to repay what you owe me!"

Tom started crying again, thinking about his shortened lifespan.

Before Li Weide could speak, a gentle breeze suddenly swept through the room...

"Here comes your reward."

With a complex expression, Li Wade watched as wisps of magic emanated from Voldemort's corpse, drifting towards Tom like a gentle breeze...

Tom stopped crying and looked on in astonishment as he felt the magic emanating from his body.

For some reason, he suddenly felt his magic power growing stronger and stronger! Ten seconds later, this enhancement disappeared, but…

Tom suddenly had a feeling that he could now overpower Voldemort even without relying on the Hogyoku!

“This…this is…” Tom suddenly remembered the spell that Levi had taught him. “I absorbed Voldemort’s magic?”

“That should be the case,” Li Wade said. “You’re now even capable of going toe-to-toe with Professor Dumbledore from our world.”

Tom felt the magic power emanating from his body and suddenly burst into laughter, without even wiping away the tears on his face.

"How about it? Not bad, right? I didn't lie to you, did I? This really can make you stronger quickly..." Li Weide murmured.

"The spell you taught me... is it related to this?"

“Yes…it’s a simple, yet cruel spell. If you kill your parallel self, you can seize all his power…” Li Wade patted Tom on the shoulder. “Keep it to yourself, don’t tell anyone. Because, you know why…”

This is the spell recorded in that notebook, a hint given to him by Li Weide from another world...

Now he finally understood what this meant.

"I understand... Sigh... Although I lost ten or twenty years of my lifespan, it's not a loss to gain such great power in return!" Tom wiped away his tears and tried to comfort himself.

Li Weide stroked his chin. "Hiss... Is it possible that you could have killed Voldemort normally without paying this price?"

Tom's smile froze instantly...

"You fucking... my lifespan! Waaaaah..."

In the distance, the Hogwarts teachers and students dared not approach, but stood at a distance, nervously watching Tom.

It was because the young man who killed Voldemort was constantly crying and laughing...

The person who can kill Voldemort must be extremely powerful. If he goes mad... the consequences could be even more severe than Voldemort's!
"What are they doing?" Tom cried, but he also saw the tense expressions on the faces of the Hogwarts teachers and students.

“Oh, they saw you crying and laughing, and talking to yourself the whole time. They probably thought you were crazy and were afraid you would hurt someone, so they didn’t dare to come over…” Li Weide said casually.

"Alone? Talking to himself?" Tom's eyes widened.

“Yeah! You canceled the stealth function, but I didn’t! So they can only see you going crazy, they don’t see me.” Li Weide laughed.

"I f***ing... Li Weide! I'm on 8 AM! #￥%#￥..."

Realizing he had been tricked by Li Weide again, Tom unleashed the few Chinese phrases he had learned, repeating them over and over, all over Li Weide's face!

"There has been progress, but the vocabulary is still a bit limited, and the accent is quite heavy, so its impact is limited. That's why... I always say learning a foreign language is useful, don't you agree?"

"Ah! Ah! You old scoundrel! I'll fight you to the death!"

……

Li Weide and Tom left that world and returned to that small space.

The nameless hero suddenly vanished, becoming the biggest mystery in the wizarding world of that parallel world. However, this had nothing to do with Li Wade and his group.

In the small space, Li Weide used the Law of Life to heal Tom.

This allowed Tom's injury, which should have taken several months to heal, to be almost completely cured.

Levi could have completely cured Tom outright, but he didn't intend to do so...

"Alright, you can go out now."

"My lifespan..."

"After you get out, don't tell anyone about these things."

"My lifespan..."

"I've installed a concealment module on the ring I gave you, which can hide your current magic power level..."

"I, Tom, am a short-lived wizard... Waaah..."

"You son of a bitch!" Li Weide snapped, giving Tom a flick on the forehead.

"I risked my life for your orders, and you still hit me!" Tom sobbed, covering his head in grievance.

"Are you out of your mind! Hydra is developing so rapidly, its technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, how could it possibly lack longevity-enhancing elixirs?" Li Wade roared. "You've already expressed your loyalty, how could I possibly treat you unfairly?"

"Hiss...right!" Upon hearing this, Tom's intelligence, which had been masked by his sorrow, once again took over. "Big brother, you know I've always been loyal to you..."

"Loyalty? I remember you just insulted me..."

"I'm just learning Chinese, you know, I love learning. I think... the magnanimous Lord Vader certainly won't mind that I'm using you as a practice subject, right?"

"Alright, alright, I know you're very loyal to me." Li Weide took out a bottle and handed it over.

"This is……"

“Extract all your memories from when you entered this space and put them in… These cannot be taken out,” Li Weide said solemnly.

"Huh? Pull it out? Not copy it?"

"Yes, pull them all out. Don't leave any memory of any of this in your mind!"

"What kind of being is this that makes you so wary?" Tom also became nervous.

"Don't ask any more questions. Just do as I say... You know I won't hurt you."

"Then... if all my memories have been extracted, doesn't that mean I won't remember becoming stronger? If that's the case, if I train with someone, I might accidentally hurt them, right?" Tom frowned.

That's true. If he doesn't remember becoming stronger, he'll definitely overdo it and expose his strength. In that case, even if there's a module to help him conceal his strength, it won't make a difference.

"Don't worry, this space is a bit special... As long as I'm still in this world, you won't forget these things. It's just that the place where you access your memories isn't in your head, but here... No one will be able to read even the slightest bit of your memories about this world."

"Hiss... That's amazing? So, you're essentially my other brain that stores my memories? Does that mean if you went to a parallel world, I would simply forget everything here?"

“Yes… if I could, I’d even like to dig your brain out and leave it here!” Li Weide said seriously.

"Holy crap! No way!" Tom hurriedly covered his head, looking at Li Weide in horror.

He knew very well that if this method worked, this guy would really dare to do it!
"Don't worry, I won't do that... Never mind, I'll extract your memories for you and modify them while I'm at it. That way, even if someone reads your memories, they'll only see that you were injured while traversing space, and they won't reveal anything about this place."

Wade did this not only to Tom, but also to himself!

After extracting Tom's memories, he also extracted his own and placed them together in the glass cabinet where the notebook was kept.

Leave the small space.

Tom was pale. "I'll never trust you again, Levi... Your spatial magic is completely rusty! I almost thought I was going to die in the spatial turbulence!"

Li Weide was very pleased. This guy was indeed smart. Although he didn't know the details of the matter, he had already started to put on an act!

However, the results of this experiment are finally in...

Killing your parallel universe self and then absorbing its power... can this really actually work?

Li Weide's heart sank...

In any case, this is hardly good news.

He had heard before that... in all the parallel worlds, there was only one Li Weide...
