Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 363 In the Void
As thousands of humans were sacrificed and died tragically, black mist and flames surged on the altar, forming an extremely violent dark force that attempted to devour everything.

The Oc, who was in charge of escorting the humans, were all filled with fear and dared not approach the altar at all.

The remaining humans didn't even need the Orks to reach the altar. From the black mist and flames on the altar, tens of thousands of energy tentacles shot out, entangling all the humans amidst countless screams of terror, dragging them directly into the altar and devouring them, leaving not a trace behind.

With the lives and souls of hundreds of thousands sacrificed, this sacrificial power transcended the barriers of time and space, landing in the boundless void beyond the world.

It was a chaotic void, without up, down, left, or right; without light or darkness; and even time did not exist.

In this chaotic void, a figure as large as a mountain floated silently, bound tightly by a chain, completely unable to move.

He is Morgoth, the Lord of Darkness, and once the most powerful of the Valar.

After being defeated by the Valar in the War of Wrath in the First Age, he was chained by Anghianot, a chain forged by the Valar god of craftsmen, Aul, and then banished to the void beyond the world of Arda.

Even so, Morgoth did not give up the struggle and tried to break free of his restraints and return to the world of Arda.

There was an ancient prophecy that Morgoth would eventually break free of his bonds, return to Arda and wreak havoc, and that a final battle would ensue between him and the Valar.

In this final battle, Morgoth will destroy the sun and moon and lead countless demonic monsters against a coalition of Aenur, elves, mortals, and dwarves.

Ultimately, Morgoth will be completely killed, and the world of Arda will be utterly destroyed.

But Ilúvatar will lead the Aenu, elves, mortals, and dwarves to recreate the Second Great Symphony of Aenu, creating a completely new world.

Morgoth has been wandering in the void for two ages since he was banished there.

His body was destroyed by Vera when he was defeated, leaving only his soul, which remained imperishable and perpetually weak.

But then an invisible sacrificial force broke through the barriers of the world and landed on him.

Nourished by the boundless vitality and soul, a comfortable groan echoed in the void, like parched grass and trees receiving rain.

Morgoth's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the dark power around him seemed to be able to tear open the void. A terrifying storm was stirred up in the silent and deathly chaotic void.

His body rapidly swelled, growing taller than a mountain, as he tried to break free of the chains binding him.

But the chains seemed indestructible, containing powerful laws, radiating a divine light, and empowering the Valar, suppressing Morgoth's power, and tightening continuously, as if to strangle Morgoth.

Finally, Morgoth seemed to deflate; his swollen body rapidly shrank, becoming smaller than a mountain, and the power that had erupted around him subsided and returned to calm.

“No rush, I have enough patience and time to wait…” he murmured, his tone full of certainty and confidence.

……

Mordor, with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of lives.

On the altar, countless sacrificed life forces and souls formed a black hole leading to the unknown void.

Black holes possess a terrifying attraction, seemingly capable of swallowing everything in their path. Even a single glance at them can send shivers down your spine, as if your soul is about to be sucked away at any moment.

Light cannot reach a black hole and will be swallowed up. Life that gets close will also be sucked in, unable to escape, and completely annihilated, leaving not even a soul!

Only Sauron's spirit can come to the altar, stand before the black hole, and wait quietly.

Not long after, the black hole suddenly stirred, spewing out a pure dark primal power that landed directly on Sauron.

Infused with the power of the dark origin, Sauron's spirit body erupted with a powerful aura, making the illusory spirit body more real and emanating an even more terrifying pressure.

The giant Eye of the Baradur Tower instantly ignited with even hotter dark fire, allowing it to see farther and in greater detail than before. Mount Doom, closely connected to Sauron, became even more turbulent, spewing black smoke that shot into the sky, transforming into a massive black curtain that enveloped the entire Mordor region and continued to expand outwards.

The volcano erupted, and billowing lava, like rivers and waterfalls, spewed from Mount Doom and flowed across the entire plains of Mordor.

Such a sight could be seen even from Gondor, the capital city thousands of miles away.

The Regent of Gondor noticed the unusual activity in Mordor and tried to investigate with the Crystal of Knowledge, but before he could see Mordor clearly, the Eye of Baradur Tower instantly detected him and looked directly through the Crystal of Knowledge.

Seeing the fiery demonic eye appearing on the Crystal of Knowledge, and the powerful mental corrosive force released from afar, the Regent of Gondor desperately shook off the bewitching power and then covered the Crystal of Knowledge with a black cloth.

He was panting heavily, his face pale and still shaken, and dared not look at Mordor again.

They even dared not use the True Knowledge Crystal anymore.

Galadriel of Lorean, Elrond of the Valley, and Gandalf of Hogwarts all looked toward the Far East as if sensing something amiss, their expressions grave.

Time flew by and it came to September 22, 3001.

The Shire, Hobbiton.

Bilbo Baggins declined Duy's idea of ​​holding his 111th birthday celebration at Hogwarts Castle, choosing instead to hold his birthday party at the gathering place in his hometown of Hobbiton.

He also invited all his neighbors in Hobbiton to his birthday party.

Throughout Hobbiton, and even among the hobbits of the Shire, everyone knew that Baggins of Bag End was a wealthy man.

So everyone eagerly came to attend the birthday party.

Moreover, Bilbo Baggins, as a legendary figure in the Shire, became a prominent figure in the Shire due to his unknown vast wealth and youthful appearance.

Rumor has it that Baggins received a gift from the wizarding lord of Hogwarts and was given a spell to live forever, which is why he has not aged for decades.

Bilbo Baggins, the person involved, has never responded to this, spending most of his time in his Bag End hole, writing his adventure stories.

The others were very curious, but dared not press for answers.

After all, everyone knows Bilbo Baggins, who is a good friend of the Lord of Hogwarts and often invites him to visit Hogwarts.

Even hobbits who prefer to stay in their hometown and not go out know the name Hogwarts.

Many of the Shire's specialties, such as pipe grass, mushrooms, beer, and wine, are sold to Brie and Hogsmeade within the Hogwarts territory, and even to more distant areas.

Moreover, over the past few decades, Hogwarts' territory has expanded further, now bordering the Shire to the west, with Brandybridge and the Old Forest as the boundary.

Even the hobbits of the Shire occasionally encounter wizards who come to visit the Shire.

Therefore, they are all familiar with the wizards of Hogwarts.

As a legendary figure renowned throughout the Shire, Bilbo's banquet was attended not only by his neighbors in Hobbiton, but also by the mayor, councilors, sheriffs, and other dignitaries of the Shire.

Moreover, Bilbo's distant relatives, such as the Turks and the Brandy Deer, also attended.
