He said, “Tell me the whole story from beginning to end.”

Voldemort looked utterly aggrieved upon hearing this.

The situation is beyond his control now, what can he do? He can only speak up!

Fortunately, Thanatos filled Voldemort's soul, which was equivalent to curing Voldemort's mental illness.

Otherwise, the mentally unstable Voldemort might even have made a few sarcastic remarks at Thanatos.

If that were to happen, Voldemort would be lucky to escape with his soul scattered.

Voldemort recounted his entire experience from the moment he was resurrected.

Thanatos noticed a person in Voldemort's 747 account: Zicomo.

Although Zicomo did not personally intervene in the entire affair, his presence was felt throughout.

The little witch who fought Voldemort was led by Zicomo, and it was Zicomo who destroyed several of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Thanatos speculated that the source of this sacred death power must be related to Zicomo.

He asked Voldemort, "You just said you have another Horcrux in the human world, right?"

Voldemort nodded, looking very melancholy whenever the topic came up.

He buried the last Horcrux somewhere in the Albanian forest.

Voldemort didn't think too much when he buried it; he just wanted to find a place where no one would find it.

But who would have thought that this would be the last Horcrux he possessed in the world?

Voldemort is now facing a problem: even if he still has one Horcrux, he cannot be resurrected.

Because the Horcruxes were buried beneath the forest by Voldemort, they had no contact with the outside world.

This means he cannot use Horcruxes to bewitch others and prepare the conditions needed for his resurrection.

They can't even leave the forest by coming out of the Horcrux, possessing a person or animal's body.

Voldemort even doubted whether he still had a chance to be resurrected.

He was feeling down when a pie fell right into his lap.

Thanatos then said, "I can help you return to the human world, and I can even grant you some of the power of death."

Voldemort was not overwhelmed by this unexpected surprise.

He knew that everything had a price, and he didn't believe that Death would be so kind.

Voldemort asked Thanatos, "What do I need to do for you?"

“Very good, you are very clever,” Thanatos praised. “What you need to do is simple: investigate whether the source of the power of death is related to that Zikomo.”

"If he exists, then kill him!"

Chapter 259 Voldemort's Rebirth, Turmoil in the Wizarding World

Thanatos's request was exactly what Voldemort wanted.

Even if He didn't say it, Voldemort wanted to kill Zicomo, the man who destroyed six of his Horcruxes.

Hermione, who was with Zicomo, was also on Voldemort's kill list.

Previously, this list only included Harry, and at most Dumbledore.

Now Zicomo and Hermione have joined the fray.

Interestingly, all the people on Voldemort's kill list are still alive; they could even form a mahjong table.

Voldemort himself, however, died, making the whole situation incredibly dramatic.

“I grant your request,” Voldemort said to Thanatos. “When can you send me back to the human world?”

Even when facing death, Voldemort still refused to bow his head.

He spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, placing himself in the position of a collaborator rather than a subordinate to Death.

Little did he know that Thanatos paid no attention to Voldemort's attitude from the perspective of the gods.

Just as humans don't care whether the ants under their feet have offended them.

If ants dare to bare their teeth or even bite humans, just step on them and kill them.

Thanatos nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Voldemort had agreed.

It would be best if Voldemort were willing to cooperate, but if not, He wouldn't mind directly controlling Voldemort's soul to return to the human world.

Thanatos touched Voldemort's forehead with his finger.

A massive force of death surged into Voldemort's soul.

Despite being a soul devoid of touch, Voldemort experienced a sensation akin to falling into an ice cave.

He found himself gradually losing control of his soul, and for a time Voldemort even began to suspect that Thanatos was toying with him.

They doubt that He ever intended to resurrect Himself.

Voldemort's soul, filled with resentment, anger, and despair, lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

In reality, Thanatos was merely using the power of death to modify Voldemort's soul.

This allows Voldemort to draw upon His death power, and even borrow His power when necessary.

Of course, just as Voldemort thought, everything comes at a price.

Voldemort gained the power of Thanatos, but he also lost his freedom.

The power of the gods is not so easy to obtain.

Of course, Zicomo is an exception; he's on fire.

After being modified by Thanatos, Voldemort's soul could descend into Voldemort's body at any time using Thanatos's power.

This is why Thanatos was so generous in handing over his power to Voldemort.

After the transformation was complete, Thanatos threw Voldemort's soul out of the Underworld.

As mentioned before, Thanatos cannot easily leave the Underworld due to the rules.

But that doesn't mean he can't send the souls out of the underworld.

Moreover, Voldemort still has a fragment of his soul in the human world as a coordinate.

Using those coordinates as a reference, Thanatos easily sent Voldemort's soul out of the underworld.

…………

After a long while, Voldemort opened his eyes and instinctively thought he had gone blind.

After looking around, he realized that he was buried underground and was still in a soul state.

However, unlike ordinary souls, he can maintain a stable soul state and can even take on a physical form.

Unlike ordinary ghosts, it cannot touch anything and has no offensive capabilities.

Not only that, Voldemort discovered that his strength had not been weakened, but had actually increased significantly.

Feeling the overwhelming power of death within him, Voldemort realized that Death was not toying with him.

He walked through the soil to the surface and discovered that this was the place where he had buried the Horcrux.

Voldemort felt a growing apprehension towards Death.

He didn't tell Death the location of his Horcrux, yet Death still managed to send him here.

Doesn't that mean that every move you make is under the watchful eye of death?

With that in mind, Voldemort decided to leave the area for the time being.

As for the Horcruxes buried underground, even if they are re-fused, they can enhance the integrity of his soul.

He has no intention of taking it back.

Voldemort planned to find an opportunity to cut off outsiders from investigating the Horcrux.

He also instructed his loyal subordinates to hide the Horcrux in a place where even he could not find it.

Voldemort considered this Horcrux as the key to escaping Death.

As for how to evade Death's detection?

That legendary invisibility cloak is quite impressive.

But that's a matter for later. The most urgent thing is to find a place to familiarize myself with the power of death within me.

He also summoned his former subordinates to prepare for the next operation.

Voldemort transformed into a black shadow and left the Albanian forest.

…………

At Hogwarts, a new day has begun.

Although we were allowed to leave school today, no one seemed inclined to go.

The celebration banquet for the three-way battle, originally scheduled for last night, has been postponed to tonight.
