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

Chapter 92 Three Choices (Third Update)

Fifteen days later, in the basement of the Foley family manor.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Li Chuan aimed his magic wand at the fat man bound to the cross, and a sinister green light shot out, striking the fat man precisely.

The fat man died in terror the instant he was struck by the curse, without even letting out a scream.

"What a terrifying spell!"

He went over and examined the fat man's body. He found that the fat man's body was not injured, but he died as if his soul had been taken away.

Perhaps because of the foundation laid by learning magic over the previous two months, coupled with Old Manu's dedicated guidance, Li Chuan has now mastered quite a few powerful dark magic spells.

This includes the three Unforgivable Curses that strike fear into the hearts of all wizards and for which the Ministry of Magic has decreed that anyone found using them will be immediately imprisoned in Azkaban.

Because the Cruciatus Curse and the Soul-Stealing Curse don't kill, he often practiced on the few people who were still alive. However, the Killing Curse would kill instantly if it hit, and today was the first time he officially used it.

The effect was indeed terrifying; even he felt that if he were the one to be hit, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Because after his research over the past few days, including today's practice, he discovered that the Killing Curse's attack is different from other spells; it should belong to a kind of soul attack magic.

It acts directly on the soul, rendering even the strongest physical body useless.

Only those with a strong enough soul can survive being struck by the Killing Curse.

A normal wizard's soul strength is not much stronger than a Muggle's, so being hit by the Killing Curse is an instant death.

He was certain that the strength of his soul far surpassed that of an ordinary person, but whether he could withstand the Killing Curse was another matter entirely.

Fortunately, although the Killing Curse is certain to kill, there are still many ways to deal with it.

The simplest way is to dodge. The casting gesture for the Killing Curse is to draw a Z-shape with the wand and then shoot out a very conspicuous and dazzling green magical beam.

If you can anticipate it in advance, it's easy to dodge it.

Secondly, while the Killing Curse can ignore magical shields like the Ironclad Curse, it can be blocked by physical defenses, such as walls and rocks.

However, be careful, even if you are blocked, you will still be blown apart, so choose something sturdy to block it.

Finally, there's the clash of spells, which involves simultaneously casting a disarming curse and a killing curse to counter each other. If your strength surpasses your opponent's, you can directly suppress and disarm their wand.

Similarly, this is not an easy task.

The Killing Curse is very powerful. If your strength is only about the same as your opponent's, or even slightly higher, it will be very difficult to suppress them.

Another point is to form a counter-wave. You need to precisely match your disarming spell's magical beam with the green light of the opponent's Killing Curse when it comes.

If the connection is not precise, the two magical beams will miss each other, the opponent will be disarmed, and you will be killed directly by the Killing Curse.

For Li Chuan, the first option would definitely be the better choice. After all, with his physical attributes and chakra, if he were to dodge, unless dozens of black wizards used the Killing Curse on him together, they would have no chance of hitting him.

"Mr. Foley, I've taught you everything I can. Can you let me go now?"

Seeing Li Chuan kill a Muggle with the Killing Curse, Old Manu quickly asked.

He had basically taught all the black magic he knew to the other party. What the other party needed to do now was to spend time practicing and studying it on their own. His role was already very small.

Therefore, he hopes that the other party will keep their promise and let him leave.

As for what he would do after leaving, he had already decided that he would make the other party pay the price. As a dark wizard with a considerable international reputation, how could he possibly swallow this insult?

The key point is that he felt that if it weren't for the sneak attack, given the magical abilities his opponent had displayed, they wouldn't have been a match for him at all.

"Oh, of course, I swear on the name of the Foley family that I will definitely let you go."

Li Chuan put away his wand and gave a gentle smile to old Manu, whose hands were bound beside him.

This old wizard is indeed no longer of much help to him. The master can only lead you through the door; the rest is up to you. In the realm of black magic, he has at least entered the door.

"All is forgotten, memories fill the void, and I collapse to the ground, unconscious!"

With a wave of his wand, he unleashed a triple strike, casting the Oblivion Curse, the False Memory Curse, and the Stun Curse in quick succession, knocking Old Manu unconscious.

Carrying the unconscious old Manu, Li Chuan instructed Barry to bury all the corpses in the basement in the back garden and clean up all traces. Then, he Apparated directly to the hall of the London Ministry of Magic.

They will definitely be released, but they will be placed in the Ministry of Magic.

During the two months he spent studying magic, Li Chuan had been pondering a question: Should he participate in the global wizarding war between Dumbledore and Grindelwald?

If he doesn't participate, he can continue to run his shop and research magic honestly as Tom Foley, and his safety will definitely be guaranteed. Moreover, Dumbledore will eventually win, and the wizarding world will usher in decades of peace.

However, just by virtue of his identity as Tom Foley, it's true that there's a lot of advanced magical knowledge that's hard to access, and his strength improves very slowly.

So after thinking it over, he felt that he should still actively participate, and taking some risks to improve his strength was acceptable.

So the next question is, should we help Dumbledore or Grindelwald?

Helping Dumbledore is simple; following the plot's development will guarantee victory in the end. Helping Grindelwald, on the other hand, involves altering the plot and carries some risk, but the benefits of helping Grindelwald are definitely greater.

Even if you help Dumbledore, given his personality, it would be difficult to get much benefit from him.

Even if you help him, if he finds out later that you did something wrong, he will still make things difficult for you.

One advantage of Grindelwald's place is that you can learn a lot of dark magic, especially the Fiendfyre spell, which can burn down an entire city.

Secondly, given Grindelwald's personality, as long as you help him, whether it's experimenting on Muggles or killing other wizards, he won't care.

The downside is that you have to obey his orders and face Dumbledore at his peak, as well as Newt and others who are equally powerful.

But overall, he still leans towards Grindelwald.

But just yesterday, he suddenly thought of a third option: why couldn't he benefit from both sides? Why join one side? Why not take over the entire wizarding world himself?

He's not the real Tom Foley, he's Li Chuan, someone who can acquire different powers in Marvel, Naruto, and even later worlds. In the future, his strength will definitely surpass Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

So why not just try to unify the entire wizarding world yourself? Then you can use any resources you want.
