Hogwarts: The Gray Wizard Volume 1 The Dark Wizard's Apprentice Anton's so-called calling was not that easy. Voldemort called softly, but the pale fluorescent dome in front of him remained motionless.

He pursed his lips and sat weakly on the ground, feeling somewhat self-deprecating as he realized that he actually didn't call Bella that seriously.

Yes, he can't let go of his pride after all.

And in front of so many enemies, even if they can't see each other now.

Voldemort clenched his fists hard and his head was in a mess.

Everything in the past was so crazy and boiling, he even had such thoughts. When he was a student, he watched the war between Dumbledore and Grindelwald with such a sneer, and was so obsessed with magic.

if……

If he were just like Anton and was obsessed with magic, maybe decades later, he would have been far more powerful than Dumbledore, and life and death would be nothing more than something he could control at will.

If he didn't have so much ambition.

But without ambition, is Tom Riddle still Tom Riddle?

He began to feel a little disgusted with all this, disgusted with himself for greedily wanting to regain the integrity of his soul, greedily wanting to return to 'Tom' from 'Voldemort', greedily stealing the magic of love from Harry Potter, and finally

Filled the self.

Yes, this method was what he wanted to use on Anton at the beginning. At that time, he discovered Anton's shattered soul early.

But later, he was surprised to find that he could no longer defeat Anton.

He began to retreat to the next best thing and set his sights on the child whose growth his soul and his Horcrux had influenced together, Harry Potter.

The one who quietly had his own bloodline because of his soul, grew into another self with Potter's bloodline in a magical sense.

Didn't Dumbledore grasp this point? If the so-called prophecy is told from the perspective of the magical dimension - it actually means that two selves cannot exist in the same world.

Regardless of whether the prophecy originally told about Harry or Neville, when his soul is embedded in the soul of that baby, it can only be Harry.

And because of Harry's own "Potter and Riddle hybrid" characteristics, he is so strangely existing with himself at the same time, yet so hostile to each other.

No one knows how shocked Voldemort was when he was possessing Harry and thinking about all this.

Therefore, the so-called "love magic" taken away from Lily is, on the one hand, to make up for the incompleteness of his own soul, and on the other hand, it is to make Dumbledore think that he has completely separated from Harry.

But it didn't.

Harry will arouse greater hatred because he stole the magic of his mother's love, thus covering up the instinctive motive of killing himself in the same world.

Very interesting isn't it.

He, Tom Riddle, Voldemort, had already studied Horcruxes to such a profound level.

He no longer even made any of the extremely crude Horcruxes in the past, but regarded Harry as his own Horcrux.

If he dies, he will die completely.

Then no one will notice that Harry is becoming himself bit by bit, completely himself.

Resurrected in a whole new dimension.

With such an ingenious arrangement, even if the clever Anton eventually discovers it, they will still face a question - should they kill Harry?

All of this has been cleverly arranged by fate from the very beginning, right?

When I cast the death curse on Harry Potter, I was rebounded by the magic of love and connected to each other by the magic of love.

As long as you don't kill Harry, all this will remain in effect.

And it was precisely because he had studied Horcruxes to such an extent that Voldemort began to fear them.

Horcruxes, an extremely simple method of maintaining life, are not without cost.

And that price is the mocking backlash of terrible fate.

With each death, fate's backlash becomes stronger.

What's more, the reason why he can replenish his soul and return to a normal human state now is not because he destroyed all the Horcruxes!

Only Harry Potter, who was brought by fate, is left, this unique Horcrux that is entangled in fate and yet escapes from it.

After experiencing the initial prophecy and having many years of plans ruined, Voldemort had a strong feeling and fear of fate.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he began to resist using Horcrux magic on Bella and his daughter.

He finally became a normal person again.

It was hard for him to feel love.

However, love just ran away when he could feel it.

This damn fate.

He sometimes wonders whether those prophets who cannot control their own magic spells determine their destiny, or whether it is just an illusory thing like fate that mocks him through the mouths of the prophets.

or……

It is fate that pities the world and announces this and that possibility for people.

——Bella can live if she leaves you.

Right? Is that how you interpret it?

Voldemort was unwilling, but he had no choice.

Playing with life through the use of Horcruxes without knowing how to restrain yourself, you will eventually be played with by life.

He sighed quietly. He knew that Bella would die because Bella loved him madly. Bella would live, but of course she would never love him again.

He is not a helpless person who doesn't understand anything. He found the last hope and let himself be commanded under Anton's arrangement.

After all, he is also one of the top wizards in the world, isn't he?

In fact, he had already seen through it all.

The choice is still his!

Yes, human death is not really death, it is just a transition from the real world to the world of the dead.

He knew that Bella, who loved him deeply, was waiting for him in the world of the dead and would always be waiting for him.

Finally, after his death, he will reunite with Bella in the world of the dead.

But he has another choice.

Through Anton's resurrection technique, Bella will be resurrected again, and then, she will leave him.

Anton is right.

What Anton can resurrect is 'Bella', not 'his Bella'.

Even though the real world and the world of the dead are just different states of life, Voldemort still understands what life is and what death is.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so obsessed with the magic of Horcruxes.

And the source of all these choices is actually just - whether he loves Bella or not.

so……

Damn the ability to feel love!

If you love someone, she will leave you.

If you don't love her, she will stick to you like dog skin plaster, waiting for your arrival even if she dies.

like……

What a cruel thing.

Voldemort wanted to pull out the wand as hard as he did in childhood, hit himself with it, and strip away the ability to feel love.

But it was still that ambition, the ambition that was growing crazily in his heart, that kept him from doing so.

In that case, becoming crazy again will completely destroy the magic empire that was finally established.

When I was young, I was deprived of love because of my ambition. When I was old, I chose to find love. Also because of my ambition, I was reluctant to deprive myself of love, but I also lost it.

It's simply too cruel.

Voldemort gasped and looked sadly at the giant egg in front of him. At this moment, there seemed to be light inside the giant egg, illuminating the entire egg.

Showing a touch of crystal milky white.

In the white halo, there seemed to be streaks of blood, and a heart could be vaguely heard beating.

He gently touched the eggshell with his hand and could feel the familiar breath inside, beating so powerfully.

Perhaps this is exactly what Anton said, the role of strong emotions in leveraging extreme magic in this resurrection ceremony.

And now, he has to make a choice.

Kill this conceived life and let the Bella who loves him deeply wait for him in the world of the dead.

Or, kill the Bella who loves him deeply in the world of dead souls, so that she can be conceived and regain life.

Voldemort's arms were trembling, and he was panting so hard that his whole face turned pale, his eyes had already turned red, and his face was so sad.

The Dark Lord has his own pride and will not show a hysterical look and roar like Harry Potter.
