- Chapter 103: Choice after rebirth, feedback from the world
When he opened his eyes, the panel jumped out.
[Gift] The traces of [Gift] were wiped away as if they were smeared, and then a new entry was generated.
[Soul Control: Stick to your heart and control your soul. 】
After waking up, Gretel truly realized how profound Voldemort’s research on the soul really was.
In the world of Harry Potter, the weight of the soul is determined by his memory.
This is what Voldemort discovered during the process of splitting souls many times to create Horcruxes.
The Notebook Horcrux was the first Horcrux he created, and it was also his most powerful Horcrux.
In all the Horcruxes after the notebook, Voldemort did not inject his own memories, but simply used them as props to keep him immortal.
After realizing the power of the notebook Horcrux, Voldemort sealed the Horcrux.
It wasn’t until it was handed over to Ginny that the seal was penetrated by Tom Riddle in the Horcrux.
But Tom Riddle in the notebook obviously doesn’t know.
The most unfortunate thing is that he fell into Gretel’s hands, and eventually became the nourishment for Gretel’s growth.
However, even without Gretel, he would definitely be destroyed by Harry.
Because the competition between Horcruxes is fate and the end.
Including Voldemort himself, only one of them could survive.
Because of memory, the soul has weight.
Like those prisoners in Azkaban who had all their memories sucked away by the Dementor with the Dementor’s Kiss.
Even if they die, their souls will not have their own consciousness when they reach the kingdom of death.
Unlike Harry’s parents and Dumbledore in the future Death Station, they all have their own consciousness and can communicate with Harry.
Voldemort had known about this situation for a long time, so when Gretel asked him for his memory.
Only then would he instill all his lifelong memories into that little fragment of memory.
In Voldemort’s view, no matter how precocious a teenage child is, it is impossible for him to remain awake in his memory for decades.
Once Gretel falls into confusion as his memory washes away, it is impossible to wake up.
Even if he can wake up, he will most likely become a monster who has lost his mind and only knows how to vent his pain.
Fortunately, there are Groot and the wand, and they wake up Gretel who is about to sink.
Gretel regained consciousness and finally connected with the panel to get through this crisis.
It was also during this crisis that Gretel realized how dangerous the situation just now was.
Memory and soul are complementary existences. Memory is the foundation of the soul, and the soul is the carrier of memory.
The panel can protect his soul, just like when Tom Riddle tried to take him away, he was digested by the panel.
However, the panel cannot protect his memory, because the memory and the soul have the same origin.
Before he realized the harm of memory to the soul, the panel could not protect him on its own.
Just like the body’s immune mechanism, it generally will not attack your own body unless it is out of control.
Although Voldemort’s memory caused a crisis for him, crises come with opportunities.
He lost the gift, but gained [Soul Control]. It was precisely because of the new entry that Voldemort’s memory did not affect Gretel’s outlook on life.
Now looking at Voldemort’s memory, Gretel is like a third-party spectator, who will never sink or be affected.
What he got now was something Voldemort would never want to know.
Even from some perspectives, Gretel would know Voldemort better than he himself.
After extracting the experience related to Legilimency, the Legilimency level on the panel instantly reached LV7.
According to Gretel’s learning experience, the magic spell on the board at level 0 is considered a beginner’s practice, and LV7 is enough to reach the pinnacle.
When a spell reaches its peak, it’s easy to break free from the shackles of the wand and the spell.
When Voldemort and Dumbledore used Legilimency, the existence of the curse seemed unnecessary.
In addition to Legilimency, Gretel also obtained Voldemort’s research on Occlumency.
Just as Grete had imagined, any Legilimency master would never give up the study of Occlumency when practicing Legilimency.
In other words, every Legilimency master is also a master of Occlumency.
Gretel originally only planned to obtain Legilimency from Voldemort, because he knew that the most powerful master of Occlumency was Snape, who was lurking under Voldemort’s nose as a double agent.
He originally planned to find an opportunity to meet Snape afterwards. After all, he had to learn from the strongest.
But now he felt that it was no longer necessary.
The Occlumency technique glimpsed from Voldemort’s memory has reached the point where V6 can easily pick it up.
In the entire magical world, there are definitely not many people like Voldemort and Dumbledore who have practiced Legilimency to the extreme.
In other words, the results he wanted to achieve were already achieved by Voldemort alone.
——
Because of this crisis, Gretel also gained something new, that is, he learned Voldemort’s ability to cut and copy memories.
He can completely pass on the knowledge related to the curse in his brain to everyone in Dawn through memory fragments.
However, he needs to figure out the scale. After all, everyone’s soul strength is different.
If he wanted to quickly arm everyone in Dawn in this way, it might cause many people’s souls to collapse.
In order to ensure the safety of this method, Gretel still feels that someone should be found to conduct physical research.
Those Death Eaters who are full of evil are a good group of experimental materials.
After watching Voldemort’s memories, Gretel felt that many of the things he once insisted on were not necessarily so harsh.
Just like human experiments, he will still insist that he will not attack innocent people.
But those guys who are surrounded by Voldemort’s wings, murderous people, and even have psychopaths for a long time, can already be expelled.
For example, Walton McNeil, a psychopath who loves killing, is a loyal supporter of Voldemort.
Unlike those Death Eaters who were either forced by force or prayed for.
The reason why Walton McNeil joined was because of his yearning for death.
Under Voldemort’s command, he could carry out ‘legal’ killings without restraint.
When Voldemort was raging in the wizarding world, his favorite thing was to burn, kill and loot. No matter whether they were wizards or Muggles, they would be tortured in his hands and finally beheaded by him.
After Voldemort lost power, at that moment when everyone was in danger, all other people thought about was escaping, getting away with it, and hiding their names.
Fortunately for him, in that desperate moment, he still couldn’t forget the pleasure that death brought him.
Through illegal means, including but not limited to betrayal, bribery, threats, etc., he became the executioner of the Ministry of Magic.
In 1993, Gretel was in third grade, the year Sirius escaped from Azkaban.
Draco Malfoy was scratched by a hippogriff during the Care of Magical Creatures class. At that time, the Ministry of Magic issued a verdict, and the execution site was Walton MacNeil’s execution chamber.
Yes, Walton McNeil transferred the pleasure of killing humans to magical animals.
It was also the only place where he could legally kill.
Therefore, when Gretel needed someone to conduct experiments, he was the first person who came to mind.
Shortly after Voldemort was resurrected, he returned to the Death Eater camp.
However, he obeyed Voldemort’s orders and continued to hide in the Ministry of Magic.
But now, this matter requires other people to take action, and he himself has more important things to do.
Now that Voldemort has broken with him, what he has to do now is to sell Voldemort’s information.
I believe Dumbledore must need his information.
He had already understood the letter Dumbledore wrote to him. It was true that Dumbledore was the leader of the old era, but after noticing Gretel’s actions, his actions had already shown his attitude.
He doesn’t know how to get on the ship, but he doesn’t refuse the appearance of dawn. Turning a blind eye is his attitude.
So, in this case, the Death Eaters, a group of guys who undermine social stability, have become a group that Dawn must attack.
As for joining forces with the Order of the Phoenix to act together, I’d rather say thank you.
After all, apart from him, Shuguang could only be regarded as two or three big cats and kittens, but they had neither the energy nor the ability to fight the Death Eaters on the front line.
Just provide some information so that the elites of the Order of the Phoenix can have time to vent their energy with a purpose.
It was easy for them to circle around Su Guang’s operators from time to time. Although they didn’t take action, the surveillance was annoying to death.
Find something for them to do, and the environment during Seni’s operation should be much more relaxed.
…
But sending information is not that easy. If no one recommends it, even if the information is sent, it may not be taken seriously.
It might even be regarded as a trap.
After Gretel defected from Hogwarts, yes, in the eyes of everyone in the Order of the Phoenix, Gretel’s behavior was defection.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Dumbledore was being smeared by Gretel.
Voldemort has never used it, or he didn’t realize the importance of public opinion.
However, even if he realizes it, given his reputation, a hundred years may not be able to drag Dumbledore off the throne.
Gretel couldn’t do it either, but Cornelius Fudge, the power-hungry Minister of Magic, was too cooperative.
To form the current public opinion atmosphere, Fudge, the self-proclaimed greatest Minister of Magic, must account for at least 80% of the credit.
Without him coming out on the platform, even if Grete continued to promote for another ten years, at most only 10% of the people would believe him, and even if they did, they would be doubtful.
How could it be like now, almost a draw with Dumbledore’s supporters who were defending him.
As for who to find as a recommender, Grete had already made plans.
According to the original plan, after Voldemort was resurrected, Dawn used Cornelius Fudge to promote itself a little.
Make the organization bigger.
After the prisoners of Azkaban escaped en masse and the Death Eaters officially formed a large scale.
Shu Guang came out in an upright manner and attracted the wizards who were in constant panic to his subordinates.
With Gretel as a false prophet, they knew that in 1997, Voldemort would officially fall.
At that time, Shuguang’s development not only challenged the European magic world, but at least had the strength to protect itself.
Besides, they don’t plan to start a war. At worst, they can just argue with the British wizards who are in desperate need of rest and recuperation.
Anyway, wrangling negotiations will not delay their development.
Besides, wizards who were only one thousandth of the size of the entire planet were not their most important target in the first place.
Dawn cannot afford war, and the magic world cannot afford it.
——
Now, because of Dumbledore’s letter, Gretel discovered that the person he originally thought was the biggest obstacle had actually been quietly paying attention to him for several years.
Not only did they not stop him, but they pretended not to know about his actions, which could even be regarded as acquiescence.
Moreover, after Dawn conducted its own propaganda war, Gretel discovered that there were actually many natural allies in the magic world.
It was nothing like what he had deduced in school, being unaccompanied and isolated.
Shuguang’s staff expansion and strength development were much faster than he imagined.
It can be said that even without the Death Eaters as a buffer, their development speed will not appear to be that slow.
Under this situation, Gretel now feels that maybe he can express his sincerity first and cooperate with Dumbledore in a small way.
After all, neither he nor Dumbledore liked Death Eaters who undermined social stability.
Destroying is much easier than building.
A magical world after being ravaged by Death Eaters is not in the interests of any party, no matter from which point of view it is viewed.
Kill the Death Eaters, tradition and reform, two concepts, maybe they can evolve peacefully.
This scenario is entirely possible as long as no one tries to burn the boat.
Even if possible, even Voldemort did not want to take over a shabby magical world.
In his memory, Gretel saw his vision of the magical world.
This group of Death Eaters who accompany him to conquer the world and hope to one day become human masters will be dealt with by Voldemort one by one after he ascends to the throne.
Except for the core group of true trust, no one in this group of Death Eaters can escape.
Eternal life is good, but eternal life alone is not the future that Voldemort wants.
But now he had no choice. After failing once, he chose to join.
Break the magic world to pieces and kill all those who oppose it. With no more people to resist, he can pursue eternal life with peace of mind.
However, after today, he no longer has to worry.
After he and Gretel completely broke up, he had no room to retreat.
Gretel just wants to gather some wool, but he wants Gretel’s life.
After digesting Voldemort’s memory, Gretel realized that conspiracies could not be brought to the table. What he wanted to do was reform, not rebellion.
Everyone who dies in the Wizarding War may become the founder of the new era he wants to establish in the future.
Sitting on the sidelines is actually conniving at Voldemort.
After waking up, Gretel made a decision, and would rather fight for the waterway with the people of the old era than join forces with Voldemort.
After Gretel had this realization, Gretel discovered that the connection between him and the magic particles suddenly became closer.
He knew that this had nothing to do with Voldemort’s memory, and Voldemort did not have this ability.
This is what the world gives back.
Thanks to book friends Ruixi and The Starless Night Sky for their monthly support.
PS: Reform, reform, almost take the wrong path, engage in any conspiracy, as long as you make a contribution, under the general trend, is there any reason to be a mantis?
Unite all forces that can be united to build a new era
