Chapter 844: The Wizarding World Can Only Have One Dark Lord!
Seeing this, Ivan couldn't help but pause for a moment, then he realized Dumbledore was likely referring to the Deathly Hallows.
This suggested that the disappearance of the Elder Wand was not an accident but a carefully orchestrated plan by Dumbledore...
However, Ivan found it difficult to understand why Dumbledore would do this.
In the original timeline, this headmaster had been concerned that no one would be able to stop Voldemort after his death, so he took a huge risk and set a trap for Voldemort.
The Three Hallows played a significant role in this, indirectly leading to Voldemort's downfall.
But in Ivan's view, Harry's victory back then was at least half due to luck.
Given the current situation, Dumbledore didn't need to rely on such convoluted and risky plans, as Voldemort wasn't his match.
If not for Voldemort's habit of hiding in a Safe House, with his survival skills nearly maxed out and two Horcruxes still unaccounted for, Ivan would have already stormed the place to eliminate this final threat.
Wait, Safe House... A thought struck Ivan. If Voldemort obtained the Elder Wand, would he become so confident that he would leave the Safe House to seek revenge?
If that were the case, it would certainly be interesting.
The Elder Wand's unique trait is that its ownership transfers when its current master is defeated. In theory, Ivan was now the master of the Elder Wand, and any magic Voldemort used with it would have no effect on him.
The more Ivan thought about it, the more plausible this scenario seemed. However, Dumbledore's various actions made him suspect that things were not as simple as they appeared. After all, the Horcrux problem remained unsolved, making Voldemort almost invincible at this stage. Simply defeating him would be meaningless.
Ivan pondered for a long time but couldn't piece it all together. The only thing he was certain of was that Dumbledore's plans were not targeted at him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically warned in the letter not to pursue those elusive things.
"Lord Hals, what did Albus Dumbledore say in the letter?" Pierce, noticing Ivan's fluctuating expression as he held the letter, asked curiously.
"Take a look for yourself!" Ivan flipped the letter over and handed it to him.
Pierce took it with interest, and his expression grew increasingly surprised as he read it.
He had assumed that Dumbledore's will, with its elaborate protections, was meant to expose Ivan Hals' evil face to the public or to rally righteous wizards to rise up against him.
However, the letter didn't mention any of that. Instead, Dumbledore planned to gift Gryffindor's Sword to Ivan.
This twist caught Pierce completely off guard. He carefully read the letter again, then looked up at Ivan, suspecting that Ivan Hals had somehow tampered with the will when he wasn't looking.
Ivan immediately recognized Pierce's thoughts and shook his head, saying irritably, "I've already told you that Voldemort was the one who killed Dumbledore. My relationship with the headmaster was quite good, which is why he left me Gryffindor's Sword!"
Is that so? Pierce was thoroughly confused. Could he have really misunderstood?
Ivan, tired of explaining, waved his hand and dismissed Pierce, instructing him not to make Dumbledore's will public until he had confirmed that the bequeathed items were safe.
Pierce naturally didn’t dare to voice any objections. Despite his head full of questions, he left the room quickly.
The spacious room was soon left with only one person. Ivan casually put away the two Letters and the Deluminator, then turned his attention to the Quest section of the System.
Rise of the Dark Lord
Mission Objective: Rule the British Wizarding World
Mission Progress: 89%
Legendary Points: 4
Mission Description: Your evil plan has achieved unprecedented success. In the foreseeable future, the entire Wizarding World will be shrouded under your shadow!
Note: Rebels still lurk in the shadows, ready to strike. The Wizarding World can only have one Dark Lord...
Looking at the description in the Quest section, Ivan couldn’t help but feel at a loss for words. Or perhaps he was just getting used to it. Additionally, after attending Dumbledore’s funeral, he had gained an extra Legendary Point.
This wasn’t because a new legendary event had been triggered, but rather because the Dark Lord title had been upgraded once again!
"Why don’t you just call it the Dark Lord Cultivation System?" Ivan grumbled to himself. However, seeing that the Quest wasn’t yet complete, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
He hadn’t expected that Voldemort’s fate would occupy such a significant portion—ten percent—of the mission to rule Britain.
But thoroughly eliminating this threat wouldn’t be an easy task.
The easier-to-find Horcruxes had already been located and destroyed. The remaining ones were Nagini, hidden in a Safe House, and the human Horcrux, Harry, who was a massive problem!
More crucially, no one could guarantee that Voldemort wouldn’t go to the extreme and create an eighth Horcrux!
This wasn’t entirely impossible, as Tom’s thought processes were beyond the comprehension of most people. Any sane person wouldn’t willingly split their soul into so many pieces.
Normally, creating one Horcrux to prevent accidental death would suffice.
Perhaps he needed to learn more about Horcruxes to find a way to counter them...
With this thought in mind, Ivan didn’t hesitate. He waved his wand, and the book Advanced Dark Magic Decoded on the bookshelf floated over to him.
...
A few days passed quickly, but Ivan’s research on Horcruxes faced significant obstacles. This was the most profound and dangerous magic he had ever encountered, dealing with the essence of a wizard—soul!
Even Advanced Dark Magic Decoded had limited information, so Ivan had to consult more Dark Arts books to find any mentions of Horcruxes.
The deeper he delved into the research, the more he realized how complex the situation was.
Voldemort’s soul fragment had attached itself to Harry during his childhood, growing alongside him.
Now, after more than a decade, the two were deeply intertwined. Using magic to forcibly separate them would undoubtedly cause irreversible damage to Harry’s soul. No wonder even the great wizard Dumbledore couldn’t come up with a solution.
Ivan had initially considered having a Dementor consume the part of Voldemort’s soul inside Harry, but now he realized that it would be nearly impossible. The Dementor would likely suck out Harry’s soul along with Voldemort’s...
