He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 102 Grindelwald's Invitation (Third Update)

"I now command you all, none of you are to resist, and you shall all undergo the examination of the revealing spell!"

At Piqueli's command, the Aurors split into two groups and aimed their wands at Li Chuan and Grindelwald.

"In that case, I'll accept the test!"

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes. He knew that in this situation, there was no point in saying anything, but with his strength, it wouldn't matter if he were exposed.

Even if all these wizards attacked, they couldn't do anything to him.

It only slightly affected his original plans, but it was already unavoidable, so he could only think of other solutions.

Now all he wanted to do was see who the guy on the other side was. He had initially thought it was Newt Scamander, but after this brief interaction, he felt it probably wasn't.

"Reveal yourself immediately!"

Two revealing spells were released at the same time, hitting Grindelwald and Li Chuan respectively, and this time neither of them tried to dodge.

Because of the revealing spell, Grindelwald's transformation spell failed, revealing his true form.

On the other hand, the manifestation spell had no effect on Li Chuan's transformation technique, but Li Chuan himself formed a hand seal to dispel the transformation and returned to his original appearance.

He couldn't let anyone know that his transformation spell couldn't be undone by the revealing charm, otherwise it wouldn't be believable if he wanted to transform into someone else later.

As long as people believe that he is using shapeshifting magic now, when he uses shapeshifting magic to disguise himself as someone else in the future, no one will be able to see through his disguise.

"Grindelwald!!!"

Upon seeing Grindelwald reveal his true form, all the Aurors and wizards in the delegation no longer cared whether Li Chuan was real or fake; they all pulled out their wands and aimed them at Grindelwald.

That made them even more nervous than facing a fire dragon.

It's not really their fault. How powerful is Grindelwald? Wizards all over the world probably know very well, except for those wizards at the British Ministry of Magic who don't have much experience with him.

Because Dumbledore was there, Grindelwald never caused any trouble in England.

The Ministries of Magic in many countries, such as Germany and France, have all clashed with Grindelwald.

In fact, even in their last joint attack, they were still unable to do anything to Grindelwald, and Grindelwald killed many of the Aurors who were trying to capture him, allowing him to escape calmly.

Grindelwald's fame was earned through sheer hard work and real achievements, which is why so many wizards admire him, not only for his beliefs but also for his power.

"Grindelwald, how dare you impersonate the Minister of Security! Where is Mr. Percival now?"

Piqueli angrily pointed his wand at Grindelwald and questioned him.

She had previously criticized the Wizarding Union for having so many people surround and capture Grindelwald, yet he still managed to escape. Now, Grindelwald has disguised himself as the Minister of Security of the Magical Congress of the United States.

This really made her lose all face and dignity as the chairperson.

"Percival, that corrupt wizard just like you, he's long dead."

Faced with Piqueli's questioning, Grindelwald merely glanced at her, gave a brief reply, and then ignored her, instead looking with interest at Li Chuan, who had returned to his original form.

"Tom Foley, the last member of the ancient Foley family, who single-handedly captured the dark wizard Manu Angel. Interesting. How did you know my identity?"

"I don't actually know your identity; I'm just quite skilled with Transfiguration Charms and noticed a slight flaw in you!"

Like everyone else, Li Chuan pointed his wand at Grindelwald.

Grindelwald looked at Li Chuan with great admiration:

"You're quite good. Why don't you consider following me? In the future, we can stand side by side in this world with dignity, instead of hiding in the sewers like rats like we do now."

Do you really think that so-called secrecy law is protecting us? It's forcing us to hide our true selves, protecting those lowly, trashy Muggles!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Grindelwald, I can't fully agree with what you said. I apologize."

Li Chuan shook his head and refused.

From a wizard's perspective, he felt that Grindelwald was not wrong at all. The Law of Secrecy was unreasonable. Now that World War I had just ended, why not take advantage of the fact that the Muggles' technology was not yet so advanced to make them submit?

Once nuclear bombs, missiles, and other high-tech technologies appear, wizards will inevitably be exposed to Muggles sooner or later. Expecting Muggles to be friendly towards wizards is absolutely impossible.

This kind of thing can be seen in the main Marvel universe. People like Nick Fury and high-ranking officials in various governments, would they allow groups like wizards to exist?

Allow them to erase ordinary people's memories with a forgetting spell at the drop of a hat, and allow them to independently establish a regime superior to ordinary people?

However, given his current identity, he certainly cannot agree to join Grindelwald. He has cultivated this identity to the point that he is completely aligned with the various national ministries of magic and with Dumbledore.

Moreover, he needs to make a name for himself in the wizarding world through today's battle.

As for Grindelwald, he certainly wouldn't give up so easily, but that would be a matter for another identity.

He can neither completely help Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald, nor help Grindelwald defeat Dumbledore, because with his current strength, he would ultimately be controlled by whichever he helped.

Only by being able to please both sides can one obtain the greatest benefits and achieve a relatively high status on both sides.

"Aurors, I think you can now remove Mr. Grindelwald's wand!"

Upon hearing Grindelwald's inflammatory words, Piqueli immediately gave orders to the Aurors.

Li Chuan remained unmoved by Grindelwald's words, but that didn't mean others wouldn't be. For wizards, Grindelwald's words were far too persuasive.

Because most wizards look down on Muggles who cannot learn magic, in their minds Muggles should have a low status.

However, while the secrecy law ostensibly protects the safety of wizards, it actually restricts many of their freedoms.

In recent years, many wizards have suffered due to the implementation of secrecy laws.

Grindelwald's words ignited their discontent with the Secrecy Act and the current practices of the Ministry of Magic.

Even wizards like Newt Scamander are not fond of the Ministry of Magic and are very averse to the Law of Secrecy, especially its provisions prohibiting wizards from dating Muggles and requiring Muggles to have their memories erased if they find out about a wizard.

However, he also disagreed with Grindelwald's attitude of treating Muggles as inferior beings, as well as many of his extreme practices.

Currently, there aren't many wizards in the entire wizarding world who truly and completely accept the Law of Secrecy; most people hold a similar attitude to Newt.
