Chapter 205: Cho Chang Displays Kamui
Lord Voldemort raised his wand again, but this time, enduring the excruciating pain throughout his body, Harry rolled to the side and hid behind a rock.
With a crack, the rock split in two, and Lord Voldemort's attack missed.
"Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" Lord Voldemort held his wand above his head with one hand, like a blind shot. "Come out, Harry. Instead of suffering like this, let me give you a quick end. Don't worry, my attack will be very fast, and you won't feel any particular pain. Hehehe!"
Harry huddled behind the rock, feeling some fear. It seemed he was truly done for this time. He hoped Malfoy and the others would arrive soon to save him. It was terrible; he, a dignified student of Gryffindor, would actually one day hope for people from Slytherin to save him...
As Lord Voldemort's footsteps drew closer, Harry felt he couldn't die like this. He was a Gryffindor; he had to summon his courage. What if he couldn't wait for the Slytherin students? He was Harry Potter! He would follow his father's example from back then: better to die standing than to live kneeling!
Therefore, at the moment Lord Voldemort turned to boast to the Death Eaters about how powerful he was, Harry rolled out from behind the rock. "Expelliarmus!"
"Avada Kedavra!" Lord Voldemort also seemed prepared. The moment Harry cast his spell, he cast his own. A green light and a red light collided, causing a massive explosion at the center, and then the two forces began to entwine and attract each other.
The two of them remained in their casting positions and slowly floated into the air. The surrounding Death Eaters were terrified and scrambled to pull out their wands, wanting to do something to help their master. Even Nagini was slithering frantically around them.
"Don't anyone make a move!" Although Lord Voldemort was also very surprised, he still ordered his subordinates to stop. He would not let himself fail again. He, Lord Voldemort, could not afford to lose face like that. He was angry, he was helpless. Could Harry really be the Savior? Would he, the dignified Dark Lord, really end up dying at his hands? No! He would not accept it. He, Lord Voldemort, would not die!
"Now! All forces, attack!"
Following the order from young Master Malfoy, all the warriors struck at once. Goyle was the first to jump down from the cliff, his massive frame making the ground tremble. Several Death Eaters were knocked to the ground by the sudden impact.
Blaise and Pansy used mental suppression and emotional manipulation, respectively, almost instantly shattering the psychological defenses of the Death Eaters and throwing them into chaos. Crabbe's magma fists took out one opponent with every punch, while Callis stood at the very back, threads emerging from her fingers to precisely control the Death Eaters who had already fallen unconscious.
"Harry! Let go!" With Daphne's Apparition, she appeared before Harry and raised her hand to cast a magic mirror. Harry cooperated immediately; after all, the person speaking was Daphne. People said she was the second mother to Su Yu and Kurama, so how could she possibly sabotage him?
The magic mirror reflected Lord Voldemort's Avada Kedavra back at him, which Lord Voldemort dodged by using Apparition as well.
"I've been waiting for you!" Just as Lord Voldemort landed again, a delicate shout reached his ears. Cho Chang stood not far away, having just finished drawing the final stroke with her finger.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin Talisman, activate!"
As the words fell, streams of golden sword energy soared into the sky around Cho Chang, forming long swords that swarmed into the air and circled above. This move illuminated the already dim sky, making it exceptionally bright for a moment.
"Malfoy, tell me, could you take this move from Cho Chang?" Pansy stared at the scene, dumbfounded. So, it was true when Su Yu said Cho Chang was just playing with them usually...
"Are you kidding me, Pansy? What would I take it with? My life?"
"Go!"
Cho Chang waved her finger. The next instant, the golden swords filling the sky vibrated in unison, the sound of them piercing the air merging into a roaring tide.
All the long swords swooped down in the same direction, merging into a surging, mighty river of golden swords. Their sharpness, accompanied by biting gusts of wind, swept toward Lord Voldemort, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
Lord Voldemort's eyes nearly popped out. Where did this Eastern Immortal come from? There was no time to think; his figure began to dissolve into thin air repeatedly, turning into black mist to dodge and weave through the tide of swords. Every flash barely avoided the golden swords sweeping toward him, the blades grazing his body as they crashed down, causing golden light to explode where they landed.
Lord Voldemort cast Apparition repeatedly, his figure vanishing here only to re-materialize feet away in an instant, moving rapidly through the gaps in the endless sea of swords.
Long swords from all directions pursued his trail, closing in, the sword light covering every angle. But Lord Voldemort was, after all, a demigod-level being. Even if he hadn't recovered his full strength, relying solely on the shifting technique of Apparition allowed him to constantly dodge and weave. His figure was elusive and erratic, and no matter how the golden sword torrent surged and charged, it could never catch a single trace of his physical form.
"Little girl, with just this bit of skill, you won't be able to hit me!" Lord Voldemort actually still had the mind to mock Cho Chang, but upon seeing Cho Chang's next move, he couldn't quite laugh anymore, and even started cursing...
"Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Talisman, go!"
Another super-large talisman. Anyway, Kurama gave her plenty, so Cho Chang didn't worry about wasting magic power; she started right off with a super-large talisman.
A crimson, intricate talisman array suddenly spread across the ground, and intense flames gushed and rolled from the patterns. A massive Vermilion Bird, entirely condensed from Samadhi True Fire, broke through the flames and soared into the clouds from behind Cho Chang.
The crimson-gold flame was no ordinary fire; the heart of the flame shimmered with a dull purple hue, and the surrounding air was scorched, twisting and steaming. Wherever it passed, the floating golden swords sizzled and melted the moment they touched the flames.
The Vermilion Bird spread its fire wings, which were several zhang wide, let out a long cry, and wrapped in a rolling sea of fire, charged straight toward the enemy opposite. With a thunderous explosion, the flames filling the sky suddenly burst open, and the Samadhi True Fire spread in all directions, swallowing the entire space.
"It's not over yet. Firmament Rending Wind Swallowing Heaven Talisman, activate!"
With another delicate shout from Cho Chang, Lord Voldemort, who was in the center of the flames, felt his liver trembling. It wasn't that he hadn't seen sorcerers from the East, but even if they were overpowered, they couldn't possibly cast three super-large talismans instantly, right? How old was this girl? Did she grow up eating talismans, or was she a talisman spirit come to life?
Cho Chang crushed the Firmament Rending Wind Swallowing Heaven Talisman in front of her with one hand. Violent gale winds swirled and rose with a roar, and a massive pillar of wind shot up from the ground.
The Samadhi True Fire that was spreading everywhere was instantly sucked into the vortex by the gale. The crimson flames twisted and gathered along the rotating wind, turning into a towering tornado of fire in the blink of an eye.
The gale constantly twisted and shrank inward, and the flames burned more and more intensely within the airflow. The Samadhi True Fire was tightly wrapped by the wind, unable to scatter, and its burning power multiplied exponentially.
The wind and fire swirled and roared ceaselessly, wind blades wrapped in flames churning constantly as they crushed toward Lord Voldemort ahead. The gale restricted his movement, and the intense fire continuously eroded his protective light shield. The power of the two talismans merged into one, continuously burning and shredding him.
"My Lord, save me!"
Chapter 206: Su Yu Enters Demi-Godhood
The perspective shifts to Su Yu.
At this moment, he was looking up at the six Demon Kings on their thrones in the void.
The sky was sealed off by a thick, gloomy curtain. Six thrones cast from mysterious black crystal hovered above the sea of clouds, standing silently in a row, and the entire world fell into silence beforehand.
The Demon King of Wrath, Samael, sat in the center. His crimson malevolence was hidden within the shadows, and the space around him hummed faintly and incessantly. That pent-up rage pressed heavily downwards; anyone who looked at him would involuntarily tense every nerve in their heart, their blood nearly freezing over.
Beside him, the Demon King of Envy, Leviathan, had most of his form hidden beneath the surging dark cyan clouds, with only a long, faint outline visible.
Mammon rested his elbows lightly on the armrests of his throne, surrounded by a gilded dark glow, his eyes filled with greed.
The Lord of Gluttony, Beelzebub, had a silhouette hazily merged within the faint gray mist. His posture was relaxed and lazy, and the surrounding mist was murky and stagnant.
Asmodeus was hidden within layers of shadows, his presence soft, delicate, and ethereal, silently permeating the surroundings. His gaze, however, fell upon Fleur, who was behind Su Yu.
At the very end, Belial leaned back on his seat, surrounded by an aura of near-deadly stagnation. Even the wind would slow and stop upon reaching this place. It was a weariness originating from the depths of the soul, slowly eroding all thoughts of resistance, and every ambitious sentiment would gradually fall into silence here.
Six distinct auras intertwined and wove together, forming an invisible net that covered the earth.
Standing on the ground and looking up, Fleur felt as small as dust. All thoughts of resistance were suppressed by this high-hanging silence, and she didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
"Such a grand display? Six of the Seven Demon Kings mobilized at once? You really think highly of me." Su Yu looked at the projections of the six Demon Kings with disdain, seemingly not taking them seriously at all.
"You should feel honored, boy of the Yu-Su-Fley family. I have summoned five companions this time. Except for that coward Lucifer, everyone else has come today. We are determined to kill you here. We will take your life today!"
Belial bared his fangs. Today, he would reclaim all the humiliation and mockery he had suffered before!
"Tsk, if you had come in your true forms today, I would have considered how to escape. But it's just another projection? Do you really think I'm still the child I was in my first year?"
Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste words with the six of them. With a flick of his wrist, the slytherin spear appeared in his hand. "Kurama! Let's go!"
"I've been waiting for this!"
Kurama flashed like a stream of light, flying back into Su Yu's body. The power of the Ten-Tails began to manifest. Violent Chakra suddenly collapsed within Su Yu, and the surging crimson Chakra wrapped around his body layer by layer, instantly condensing into a huge, white, egg-shaped cocoon, quietly suspended in the center of the sky like a shell nurturing a god.
The attack launched by Belial hit the surface of the eggshell and instantly weathered away. Even this Inner World they had created seemed to be pushed outward bit by bit by Su Yu's egg.
Fleur watched this scene in shock. Every time she thought Su Yu couldn't possibly be any stronger, he would give her another shock the next time. She didn't know how many times this had happened already; did Su Yu have no limit?
With a crack, several long, diagonal fissures opened on the front of the egg. The hard white shell lifted along the lines. Su Yu raised his right hand, hooked his fingertips onto the edge of the cracked shell, and pried it outward, forcefully tearing off a large piece of the crystalline shell, which shattered into countless white flakes that drifted into the air.
He reached out just like that, peeling away layer after layer of the eggshell from his side, revealing half of his body from the cocoon. Pseudo-Six Paths Mode, activate!
Su Yu's black hair had faded completely to snow-white, and his skin was covered with pale, hexagonal scale patterns. His left eye was the Rinnegan, and his right eye was the Sharingan. His expression was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Eight pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs automatically appeared around him. The Six Paths Staff landed in his palm, and he held the slytherin spear in his other hand. A white Six Paths robe naturally formed on his body.
When the entire eggshell had peeled off and drifted away, he hovered steadily in mid-air, casting his gaze down at the six Demon Kings before him.
Leviathan immediately lunged at Su Yu for a close-quarters assault. The attack spat from his mouth grazed Su Yu's body, but not only did it fail to cause any harm, his own projection was instead eroded and damaged by the power of the Truth-Seeking Orbs.
"Don't give him another chance, let's attack together!" Samael shouted, his body filled with the power of destruction and rage, and he clawed at Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't even raise his hand significantly. With just a thought, the Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him instantly transformed into several black rods and swept horizontally. Samael's large hand was torn apart like thin paper.
Immediately after, crimson Chakra rose from Su Yu's back, condensing into a giant palm that completely tore his entire throne to shreds.
Belial hurriedly called out to warn the other Demon Kings, but Su Yu's feet hadn't moved at all, yet his figure could shift freely through the void. Once any attack from the six Demon Kings approached him, it would be directly dissolved into nothingness.
Su Yu looked down at the six Demon Kings from above. His aura was terrifyingly calm. Although his movements were not fast, they carried a divine pressure that completely transcended the world.
"Just six mongrels. Do you really think your projections can kill me? Who gave you the courage? Look into my eyes!"
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, the slytherin spear in his hand flew out, piercing through the bodies of Mammon and Beelzebub.
"Why! Why, when we are both Demi-Gods, is his power so much stronger than our projections!"
Belial roared in unwillingness. He had thought this would be a simple revenge mission, but it resulted in another solid crushing defeat. At this moment, his mentality was on the verge of collapse.
As for Su Yu, when he first obtained this power, he was only a half-step Demi-God. But after a year of growth and obtaining the power of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox with Kurama, he and Kurama had been constantly improving, okay?
"Damn it, this brat, his growth is truly astonishing. That despicable Lucifer, he didn't tell us the truth. We've all been tricked!"
"There's no other way, Belial. We have to open the map of mountains and seas early and release those demonic beasts."
"Are you crazy, Asmodeus?"
"But what other choice do we have? This is just a projection. Although it took a lot of effort, which of the six of us can defeat him?"
After a moment of silence, Asmodeus still took a scroll from his arms and threw it into the air, where it unfurled.
Su Yu watched with some surprise as the six Demon Kings actually produced this scroll of the map of mountains and seas from their arms.
"This is? A part of the map of mountains and seas? It seems my guess was correct after all. Certain factions within the country really do want me to die here, and they've actually betrayed us to the demons!"
Chapter 207: Final Descent
High above in the firmament, the yellowed, ancient fragments of the map of mountains and seas slowly unfurled, the silk scroll spreading across the horizon.
A bone-chilling, savage baleful aura poured out from the depths of the scroll. The haze swallowed the scorching sun, and a piercing, murky aura swept across the wilderness. A layer of pitch-black, bone-chilling frost congealed upon the ground.
Within the deep, ink-colored rifts of the scroll, one top-tier ferocious beast after another, capable of wreaking havoc upon the world, crawled out.
Xiangliu was the first to climb out from the shadows, its eight giant python necks, covered in slick, poisonous skin, twisting wildly. Sharp fangs dripped with dark green venom; as the poison dripped into the void, it corroded cracks into existence. Wherever it passed, the land turned into a poisonous swamp, desolate for eternity.
Following closely behind, the Four Perils of antiquity stepped out of the scroll. Taotie's mountain-sized body squeezed through the boundaries of the scroll—sheep-bodied, human-faced, with sharp tiger teeth. Its giant maw hung open, radiating a greedy, ferocious might that devoured all things in the mountains and rivers. All living beings, earth, stone, and even spiritual energy in the world could be swallowed into its belly.
Hundun transformed into a dark red, rolling blood sac, possessing six legs and four wings, faceless and eyeless. Wherever it passed, morality collapsed and order vanished. Qiongqi spread its wings, which were covered in sharp, gray feathers; it had a tiger-like beast body, and its claws tore through the airflow. Its roar, carrying destructive, violent energy, swept across the sky.
Taowu was covered in coarse, long black hair, with a human face and tiger body, and interlocking fangs. Its ferocity was enough to tear through the clouds, obstinately seeking to overturn all the rules of the world.
A host of top-tier ferocious beasts broke free from the scroll's restraint one after another. Zhulong's slender, massive body coiled and unfurled, its eyelids slowly lifting. Zhen, covered in crimson mane, swished its five tails. Xie Zhi, its blood-colored fur matted with dried blood, had crimson eyes. Xiu She's body was as thick as a mountain ridge, with pitch-black scales. Feng Xi, with a wild boar-like head, rammed its surroundings, its brute strength violently peerless...
The cacophony of roars caused the firmament to hum violently. The heavy, ferocious might pressed down, causing the ground of the Inner World to crack into crisscrossing gullies. A wild wind, carrying a fishy, rotting stench, swept in all directions. The entire world was firmly shrouded by this group of beasts that had wreaked havoc in ancient times.
Fleur stood frozen in place, watching the ancient ferocious beasts emerging one after another in the sky. The color drained from her face until not a trace of blood remained.
A bone-chilling, savage wind blew against her, and the heavy baleful aura crushed down upon her. Fleur's shoulders trembled violently, unable to stop. Her fingertips curled, gripping the corners of her clothes until her knuckles turned white. Her legs went weak, her knees shaking incessantly, and she was almost unable to stand steady.
A profound sense of helplessness swept over her, and fear sprouted wildly in her heart. She had no way to stop what was happening before her eyes, and a deep despair welled up from within.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't they just a few beasts?" Su Yu flashed in front of Fleur, and that tyrannical, terrifying aura vanished. Fleur stared at the boy in front of her, stunned for a few seconds, before suddenly smiling. "What are you spacing out for? Grab onto my robe. If it's about who's bigger, then so be it. Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, Susanoo!"
Suddenly, the earth shook, and rich, emerald-green Sage Chakra rose and surged from the horizon.
A heaven-blocking, earth-covering Senju Wood Buddha rose from the ground, its thousands of giant arms stretching and churning. Outside the entire Great Buddha, another layer of thick, battle armor constructed from red Chakra-based Susanoo was superimposed, wrapping around the entire Senju Great Buddha with its sharp, angular edges.
Su Yu channeled the Top Transformed Buddha, and the thousands of giant fists covered in the Susanoo-style armor swung out one after another. The sound of breaking air shook the surroundings as they smashed fiercely toward the charging ferocious beasts.
Violent shockwaves rippled outward, the wild wind fluttering Fleur's hair. She stood dazed behind Su Yu, looking up at this earth-shattering duel.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom."
Following that, Su Yu spawned giant trees across the mountains. The entire land turned into a dense forest, and the giant trees began to entangle the beasts. Giant flowers bloomed on the trees, scattering hallucinogenic pollen over a wide area.
"Comparing ultimate moves? I'm invincible at the Demigod realm!" In Fleur's surprised gaze, Su Yu also used Sage Art: Gate of the Great God, Wood Release: Cutting Technique, and Wood Release: Hotei Technique.
This caused many of the newly emerged beasts to be beaten, howling in pain, the moment they were stunned.
"So they were just shells with nothing but power. I thought the real bodies had come out. You demons, is this all you've got?"
Atop the Senju Great Buddha, Su Yu stepped onto a wooden platform, arms crossed over his chest, looking arrogantly at the six Demon Kings and the host of ferocious beasts.
"Spread out! He's just one person. We'll separate and find opportunities to attack. We must eliminate him today!" Following Beelzebub's order, the six Demon Kings stood in six different directions around Su Yu, surrounding him.
"Even if you're powerful today, you'll be worn down to death by the six of us!"
"Oh? Want to play at ganging up on me? Since you want to do six against one, I'll grant your wish."
Su Yu crossed his hands, forming a cross. "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A huge burst of white smoke erupted from Su Yu's body. The six Demon Kings' jaws nearly hit the ground. What did it mean to have thousands of Su Yus pop out from the smoke?
"Giant Rasengan Shuriken!"
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World!"
"Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."
"Explosion Release: Mine Fist."
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage."
Thousands of Su Yus, thousands of types of Ninjutsu, including 36 Wood Clones that also manifested Susanoo, clashed with the desperate six Demon Kings.
"Are you even human, Su Yu..." Fleur stood behind Su Yu, the scene before her feeling somewhat unreal.
Su Yu rolled his eyes at Fleur. This girl, if she wanted to talk, she could just talk, but she had to resort to personal attacks. If he weren't busy controlling a large number of Shadow Clones and didn't have the time to pay attention to her, he would have definitely retorted.
This group of ferocious beasts had long since lost the momentum they had when they first emerged. Beaten black and blue by Su Yu's Shadow Clones, they tucked their tails and scrambled back into the map of mountains and seas. They only regretted that their parents hadn't given them two more legs so they couldn't run faster and avoid taking more hits from the attacks overhead.
The situation with the six Demon Kings was much the same. Each Demon King was being stomped on by six Susanoos, unable to escape. Belial lay on the ground holding his buttocks, not even caring about his head anymore, just protecting his lower parts to prevent Su Yu from hitting him there again.
Suddenly, another rift was opened. First came a shout of "Useless trash!", and then, Lord Voldemort's figure flew out of the rift like a cannonball, crashing through two mountain peaks before coming to a stop.
Wisps of twisted black mist surged out from the rift. Then, Lucifer's tall, slender figure stepped out from the gate. He wore a sharply tailored dark gold robe, the hem fluttering in the void's wild wind.
Three pairs of large, pitch-black wings slowly unfurled behind him. The tips of the feathers were wreathed in fine, dark red demonic fire, and every feather possessed a sharp, cold texture.
His gilded eyes looked down indifferently at the world below, his gaze filled with innate arrogance, as if everything beneath his feet was unworthy of mention.
Lucifer stood with one hand behind his back. With every step forward, that heavy pressure swept across the entire world. Fine black feather fragments drifted down slowly, burning charred marks wherever they landed.
Su Yu's pupils constricted.
"This is... Lucifer's real body? How is this possible!"
Chapter 208: I Have a Mom
Dark purple flames continued to roll at the edge of the rift. Lucifer slowly lowered his gilded eyes, locking his gaze precisely on Su-Fley, who was standing atop the Great Buddha, and revealed a wicked smile.
"Su-Fley, we meet again."
"Lucifer, when did you succeed? How are you able to descend into the Inner World directly with your true form? Why don't you hurry up and kill him? We're finally saved!"
Su Yu's muscles tensed. He stared at Lucifer not far away without speaking. Instead, the Demon King Mammon looked at Lucifer greedily and spoke directly.
"Noisy! A bunch of trash."
Lucifer didn't even glance at the other six Demon Kings. His attention was entirely on Su Yu. Then, Lucifer extended the hand behind his back.
Su Yu's pupils dilated sharply. He saw that the hand behind Lucifer's back was clutching someone—it was Harry Potter. At this moment, Harry had already lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.
At this moment, there was another sound of space shattering. Farley and Cassandra stepped out of the space rift first, followed by a disheveled-looking Malfoy and his group.
"Chief, there was an accident. We didn't manage to rescue Harry. Lucifer came. If it weren't for Daphne and Cho Chang holding him off, we probably would have been severely injured."
Young Master Malfoy wiped the blood from his face, looking somewhat dejected. He had originally thought that by taking advantage of Lord Voldemort having just resurrected and not yet being at his peak, they could successfully eliminate this threat. But who could have imagined that Lucifer would interfere at the critical moment? Not only did they fail to kill Lord Voldemort, but Lucifer also snatched Harry away. By the time Cassandra and Farley caught up, Lucifer had already taken both of them and left.
"Are you all okay?"
Su Yu didn't mean to blame them. He could feel Lucifer's terrifying pressure; even he himself was no match for it.
"We're fine. Thanks to Daphne's Mirror Reflection and Cho Chang's talismans, we were barely able to resist for a moment. Lucifer probably sensed the battle situation here on your end, Chief, so he didn't prolong the fight."
"That's good." Hearing that everyone was safe, Su Yu was relieved. He dispelled the thousand-meter Great Buddha and flew back to the ground with Fleur.
"Lucifer! What is the meaning of this? How dare you scold us?"
The enraged Demon King Samael couldn't hold back. Being short-tempered by nature, he angrily questioned Lucifer, who hadn't even spared them a glance. The other five Demon Kings also looked at Lucifer with some dissatisfaction.
Dark purple flames continued to hover around the high-altitude rift.
The golden light in Lucifer's eyes changed abruptly. The originally lazy arrogance transformed into ruthless plunder.
Before the other six Demon Kings could react, churning black mist erupted from within his body, and countless pitch-black, corroded chains swept out along with the mist.
The ends of the chains, tipped with sharp barbs, instantly coiled around and imprisoned Mammon, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Samael, and Belial.
The cold, heavy iron chains clamped tightly around the six Demon Kings' bodies, sealing off all their resisting magic power.
The six massive demonic bodies were dragged by the pitch-black mist, pulled all at once toward Lucifer along the chains. The six Demon Kings couldn't even let out a gasp before they were all swallowed into his body.
"He... what is he doing..."
Su Yu hadn't expected Lucifer to be so ruthless. After arriving in the Inner World in his true form, the first thing he did was swallow all the avatars of the other six Demon Kings.
Things happened too suddenly. In the blink of an eye, Lucifer had finished swallowing them. The dark red demonic fire leaping on the three pairs of black wings behind him also instantly intensified several times over.
The chains scattered in mid-air slowly retracted into the black mist, merging into his body. The pressure between heaven and earth surged suddenly. Lucifer still clutched Harry with one hand behind his back, overlooking the scene below with increasingly domineering and terrifying malice in his eyes.
"He actually swallowed his companions?"
Young Master Malfoy watched Lucifer, who had mercilessly swallowed his six companions in the blink of an eye, and swallowed hard. Attacking his own people was far more terrifying than attacking them...
"Su-Fley, now, no one can disturb us anymore. Are you ready? Ready to accept the outcome of your own death?"
Lucifer raised his hand in front of him, the edges of his robe agitated by the turbulent airflow. With a gentle flap of his wings, a strong wind carrying black mist and fragmented iron chains pressed down directly.
The golden eyes shed their previous pure arrogance, leaving only biting killing intent. He had already made up his mind to launch an attack, and the entire space was firmly locked by his offensive, sealing off all paths of retreat.
The Slytherin students witnessed the offensive Lucifer suddenly unleashed in the sky, and their nerves tightened to the limit.
Farley and Cassandra stood with their spines straight, knuckles clenched, mobilizing all the power in their meridians. They stared at the dark golden figure in mid-air, all blocking in front of Su Yu. Watching the suffocating pressure brought by the black mist and chains raised by Lucifer's flapping wings, their skin felt a slight sting from the sharp airflow.
"Uh... can we pause for a second..." Su Yu spoke up suddenly at this moment. There was something he really couldn't understand. "We don't have any deep hatred, do we? You insisted on kidnapping Harry for reasons I don't even know, and why do you insist on killing me? We have no grudge, right?"
"Tsk... are you stalling for time? Su-Fley? You should know, I've come with my true form this time. Even if those two brats, Dumbledore and Grindelwald, rushed over, they wouldn't be able to save you."
Lucifer chuckled, though he reined in his sharp aura.
"Since that's the case, I'll let you die knowing the truth."
"You know that Hell's ultimate goal is to invade Heaven, right? But just 15 years ago, Heaven disappeared. That's right, don't open your eyes so wide, you heard me correctly. Heaven just disappeared so suddenly, without any warning, and there's no way to find it again. It's as if it never existed in the first place."
Lucifer paused, then continued, "I searched for it for a full ten years, but found nothing. Until that day, that idiot Belial opened the gates to the Inner World. When you and Harry first came to the Inner World, I felt it. How should I describe it? That feeling told me that Harry is the key to opening the gates of Heaven, and Heaven—as long as I kill you—will reappear!"
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. When did he get involved with Heaven again? And Lucifer, are you kidding me? Heaven disappeared, shouldn't you in Hell be the happiest? Why are you acting like the world ended? Are you a masochist? Does no one whip you, so you feel uncomfortable in Hell?
"What do you know! The only motivation I have for living is to kill my way back into Heaven! But now Heaven is gone? You tell me, what am I supposed to do!"
Lucifer seemed to see through Su Yu's thoughts and became somewhat agitated.
"So you mean, kill me? And Heaven will return? Then kill Harry, and open the gates of Heaven?"
"That's exactly it. I have an intuition that if I kill the two of you, I will be able to lead the demon army again and kill my way back to that Heaven that belongs to me!"
Lucifer spread his wings again, and the demonic claws in his hands began to burn with black flames. "Now, Su-Fley, any last words?"
"One last sentence. Lucifer, I wonder if you've heard a saying?"
Su Yu took out a necklace from his embrace. This was something his family gave him as a safeguard when he called home before the first match.
In Lucifer's surprised eyes, Su Yu suddenly revealed a wicked smile at him—a smile that was somewhat arrogant and somewhat disdainful—and then crushed the necklace.
"When you're out mixing in the world, did you really think I was relying on myself?"
"I have a mom..."
"She kills everyone below the Supreme God!"
"Uh... wait, no..."
"I have a mom!"
"She can summon my dad!"
Chapter 209: Did I Let You Get Too Comfortable?
"Mom!!!!"
"Your son is about to get beaten up! Come save me!!!"
Su Yu's shout not only stunned Lucifer in the distance, but even Farley, Cassandra, and the others turned their heads in astonishment to look at him.
"Tch, and here I thought you had some real ability. Who is your mother? Do you really think I'm afraid of her?"
Lucifer regained his composure, let out a disdainful snort, and didn't rush to attack; he just loved watching his prey struggle like this.
Draco stammered, his mouth wide open, "Wait, Chief... will your mother coming over actually help? That's a god-level entity! Maybe we shouldn't bother your mother. Even if we have to sacrifice our lives today, we can buy you enough time to escape..."
Su Yu ignored Draco; this kid, what kind of defeatist talk was that? Just then, a portal appeared in front of him. Su Yu's mother was wearing an apron and holding a spatula; it looked like she had been cooking when Su Yu pulled her through.
"Oh my! My precious son! Long time no see, let Mommy give you a hug! You're looking more and more like your father now, both getting more handsome as you grow! Haha."
As she spoke, Su Yu's mother picked Su Yu up. Farley, Cassandra, and the other girls stood nervously to the side. After all, this was their future mother-in-law. When they last met, they hadn't confirmed their relationship with Su Yu, so now, meeting her again, they didn't know what to call her.
"Mom... we're in the middle of a battle, could you please mind your image? The enemy is right there."
Su Yu struggled hard in his mother's arms, trying to break free, but he was surprised to find that his demigod strength couldn't break her hold at all. What? Su Yu was full of question marks. Didn't you say my dad was powerful? He fights gods like it's a game, so how are you also hiding your strength like this?
"What enemy? Just let your father handle it. Hurry, hurry, hurry! I heard from Carson that you've found several girlfriends, right? Let me see, did you bring them this time? I don't know who you take after; you're nothing like your father. Look at your father, how devoted he is!"
As she spoke, Su Yu's mother released Su Yu and gently tapped his forehead, pretending to scold him in annoyance. It hurt enough to make Su Yu roll his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to say anything; he was just waiting to see his dad's love-life battlefield when his stepmother arrived.
"Hello, Auntie..." X4
Even Farley, usually the most lawless of them all, was acting as shy as a little girl at this moment, hurriedly smoothing out her clothes and wiping the blood off her face, seemingly wanting to leave a good impression on Su Yu's mother.
Su Yu's mother looked overjoyed, wearing the same expression as Butler Carson back in the day. Looking at the girls greeting her, she couldn't stop smiling and thoughtfully used Scourgify to clean up Farley and Cassandra.
"Good, good, good, you are all prettier than the last. I remember you, you're from the Greengrass family, right? I even held you when you were little. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much. I remember you have a younger sister, don't you?"
Su Yu's mother smiled and patted the heads of the four girls. She still had some impression of Daphne; back when Su Yu was just born, she had seen the newborn Daphne at the Greengrass family estate.
"Are you all done catching up?" Lucifer, gripping Harry, looked toward Su Yu's direction. "If that's all, Yu-Su-Fley, I'm taking your life today. No one can stop me, I said it."
"Oh? Is that so?" Su Yu's mother's good mood was interrupted by Lucifer, and she looked impatient. "Honey~ what are you still watching for? Hurry up and deal with him, don't delay me from talking to my daughters-in-law!"
Su Yu looked at his mother's speed of changing expressions, which was like a Sichuan opera face-change. Well, at least his girls were really good to him. She was acting all sweet toward her husband before, but now she had turned into a tigress...
"Got it, my dear wife. I was just afraid of interrupting your chat... that's why I hadn't come out yet. You guys keep chatting, keep chatting, I'll beat him to death right away, definitely won't delay your chat..."
Su Yu's father, still looking as devil-may-care as ever, flew out of the portal carrying a Tang dao.
"Can Uncle handle him alone? Should we go help?"
Cho Chang had clashed with Lucifer a few times and knew how powerful he was. Seeing Su Yu's mother looking so calm and composed, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Don't worry about him. It would be better if he got beaten up; who told him to only know how to annoy people every day? Let's keep chatting. Come here and let Auntie get a good look at you. You're so pretty. You're the daughter of the Zhang family, right?"
On the other side of the scene.
"No... you aren't...?" The moment Lucifer saw Su Yu's father, his expression changed. But before he could finish, he was greeted by a scabbard.
Su Yu's father suddenly dashed forward, his figure breaking through the churning black mist. He didn't draw the sharp blade of the Tang dao; instead, he gripped the dark brown scabbard wrapped in coarse hemp rope with one hand, exerted sudden force with his arm, and swung it horizontally.
A dull, heavy blow struck Lucifer's jaw precisely, sealing his mouth shut just as he was about to speak. The force made his teeth clack together, instantly choking back the words that hadn't yet fully formed, and he even almost bit his tongue off by accident.
Lucifer felt the pain, his pupils constricting. But looking at the man in front of him, he didn't hesitate and turned to flee.
Su Yu's father didn't give him a split second to think. With a twist of his wrist, he brought the scabbard down from above, smashing it onto the top of Lucifer's head. Seeing this, the children from Hogwarts School couldn't help but gasp. Just watching this scene made their own heads ache.
The heavy impact struck Lucifer's skull, the violent vibration scrambling his thoughts. The arrogance with which he had just been spouting threats was instantly shattered.
His head felt dizzy, his thoughts briefly stalled, and his wings couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, Lucifer felt like his life was flashing before his eyes; he seemed to see his great-grandmother waving at him. Wait, something seemed wrong. He was a Demon King, where would he get a great-grandmother?
He staggered backward, his pitch-black wings flapping violently against the surrounding churning black mist to offset the impact of Su Yu's father's attack.
Severe pain echoed in his jaw and the top of his head. He knew that if he continued to fight for a moment longer, once Su Yu's father drew the Tang dao blade, he would definitely die there.
Lucifer dared not linger.
He gritted his teeth and folded his wings, thick dark purple demonic energy surging around his body, wrapping his form in layers. He tossed Harry aside; at this moment, he couldn't care about Harry at all.
Lucifer's form turned into a blurred black shadow, and the sky-covering black mist surged toward Su Yu's father. Meanwhile, he fled rapidly backward, broken black feathers drifting in the wind. He broke through the rift in the sky without looking back, disappearing into the dim distance in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a wisp of dissipating demonic energy.
Su Yu's father tightened his grip on the Tang dao, staring in the direction the enemy had fled. The blade vibrated slightly within the scabbard, as if sighing, but he did not pursue in the direction Lucifer had escaped.
"Wait? This, this, this... it's over just like that?" Draco looked at this surreal scene and pinched Pansy's cheek. He felt he must have had his brain damaged by Lucifer earlier.
"Did I let you get too comfortable, Draco!"
Chapter 210: Revenge! (Thanks to Jian Dian's Chai Ming for the 'Powering with Love', thank you.)
Goyle and Crabbe were busy pulling up Malfoy, whose head had been shoved into the ground by Pansy, shouting incessantly, "Boss, please, don't die..."
Blaise and Callis breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a smile, and slumped down. The Weasley Twins and Cedric went to check on Harry's condition. This job should have been Malfoy's, but since his head hadn't been pulled out yet, someone else had beaten him to it.
Fleur's face was flushed, having been pulled into the five-person group chat by Su Yu's mother. This left Su Yu puzzled. Wait? What are you blushing about? And why did you join in?
However, Su Yu didn't have time to overthink it before Su Yu's father came to his side and explained.
"It's not that I couldn't kill him; there are many complications involved. Wait until you are stronger, and then I will tell you about these messy debts."
Su Yu didn't quite understand, but he wasn't one to dwell on things. Although Lucifer had run away this time, the people from the Mahoutokoro School of Magic and Uagadou couldn't escape. And then there was that Lord Voldemort, who had taken advantage of Lucifer's escape to sneak away with him. A dignified Dark Lord acting like a stray dog, running away—what a joke.
Su Yu nodded, ready to activate revenge mode as soon as he returned. He would settle this score properly with those two schools. The father and son didn't say much more, just stood there waiting silently, watching the girls chatting animatedly.
"Theodore! You're finally back!"
As another portal opened, Theodore walked out slowly, carrying the body of Old Nott. Olivia, who was treating Harry, saw this and immediately sprinted toward Theodore, ignoring whether Harry lived or died.
Malfoy, who had just been pulled out, along with Blaise and the others, saw Theodore's state and didn't approach. They all stood up, their expressions grave.
"Olivia, from now on, I have absolutely no family left. I... I don't have a father anymore..."
Theodore's expression was dull. He had thought he would cry his heart out over his father's death, but for some reason, he felt like a walking corpse. Holding Old Nott's body, he didn't know where to go, but his heart suddenly longed to see Olivia, to see his beloved.
"It's okay... It's okay, Theodore. I will always be with you. Aren't I your family too? You still have me in your world; I won't let you be alone."
Theodore couldn't bear it any longer; his body slowly collapsed, and he fell to his knees with a thud...
"Theodore..." Blaise started to speak, wanting to go and support Theodore, but was stopped by Malfoy, who shook his head at him. "Let him rest for a moment. What he needs right now isn't our comfort. Give them some time..."
The group stood not far from Theodore, watching Olivia tend to Theodore, who was lying in her arms.
Olivia gently stroked Theodore's cheek, smoothing out his furrowed brows, and whispered in his ear.
"Theodore, it's okay. Get some rest. You always like to shoulder everything by yourself. Do you know that my world has long been only you? So don't be afraid, okay? In the days to come, I will always be by your side. Isn't that what the Chief often says? I'm still waiting for you to accompany me to see those mountains and rivers..."
Su Yu's mother watched the scene, crying her eyes out. Farley and Cassandra experienced what it meant to be at a loss for the first time. Seeing their mother-in-law crying like a tear-stained mess, they scrambled to find tissues. Finally, Fleur pulled out her handkerchief and handed it to Su Yu's mother.
"Wuwuwu... That child is truly too pitiful. I had long guessed that old man Old Nott wasn't as simple as he looked. Sigh, this path is not easy to walk. If you take one wrong step, there's no turning back. None of you listened to me back then; it's truly a sin..."
"Auntie, did you know back then that Lord Voldemort would become the Dark Lord?"
Cho Chang was somewhat puzzled. Was her mother-in-law really that amazing?
"Ahem..." Su Yu's mother almost blushed, but she continued to put on a show. "Of course. I saw it long ago. That child had an evil heart; his eyebrows were sharp at the front and wide at the back, the lines at the corners of his eyes were drooping, and his forehead was dark. By the look of his physiognomy, if he wasn't extremely vicious, he was extremely evil!"
"Uh... Auntie is amazing..."
The girls realized it by now; the person capable of saying such things definitely wasn't the auntie; it was ninety-nine percent likely said by Su Yu's father...
But no one exposed her. The girls were all praising Su Yu's mother, saying she had a discerning eye to have seen it so early. She was truly brilliant, which was why she could give birth to such a clever Su Yu. Since she had seen it so early, Su Yu's intelligence must have come from her...
This round of flattery made Su Yu's mother laugh heartily with her hands on her hips. The sight made the corners of Su Yu's and his father's mouths twitch. If he took after her? It would be a miracle if Su Yu wasn't babbling incoherently by now...
"Hehehe, you girls really know how to tell the truth. Auntie is happy today. Come, come, come, all of you come back with me; Auntie will cook for you personally!"
"Okay... Mmph..." Daphne had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish, Su Yu, who had teleported over in a cold sweat, covered her mouth. He then hurriedly and awkwardly said, "Um, Mom, we have things to do when we go back. How about we eat next time? Next time I'll bring them all together. Hermione and Ginny aren't here yet, so definitely next time..."
The girls looked at Su Yu's anxious appearance and didn't react for a moment, but they were always quite obedient. Since Su Yu said so, there must be a reason for it.
What a joke. Others might not know, but how could Su Yu not know? If his mother could cook, Su Yu would have raised hell when they left for so long when he was a child. But why didn't Su Yu make a fuss?
It was because whenever Su Yu's mother came home, she loved to cook, and her dishes were comparable to poison. When he was six, shortly after Kurama arrived, Su Yu had no choice but to eat one meal. Kurama stayed in his mind, unable to recover for three whole days, and after it woke up, it roared in Su Yu's mind for another three days. If even Kurama couldn't handle it, the girls would definitely be casualties if they went. Su Yu didn't want to avoid casualties in battle only to end up with several internal injuries from a meal.
"Little Yu-Su-Fley! You are not cute at all! Mom just wanted to take them for a meal! Look at how nervous you are. What? Can Mom snatch them away from you?"
Su Yu's mother looked unhappy. This ungrateful son of hers—humph, she decided she wouldn't talk to Su Yu for three days!
Su Yu kept winking at his father, urging him to quickly take his wife away from here. For the safety of his girlfriends, he couldn't worry about his dad right now. Better the friend dies than the monk himself.
Su Yu's father sighed helplessly and had to come over to comfort Su Yu's mother, saying things like the children still had their studies, wasn't the competition still going on, and they would invite them over to the house next time, and so on...
"It's a deal! You must come next time! Auntie will be waiting for you!"
With some reluctance, Su Yu's father winked at Su Yu and pulled Su Yu's mother back into the space portal.
"Su Yu, what should we do next?"
Seeing Su Yu's parents return, the others gathered around and began to plan their next steps.
"Next? Of course, it's to go back and take revenge. I need to settle this score with them properly..."
Su Yu loosened the button on his collar, twisted his neck, and walked toward the finish line. "Take the unconscious Harry and Summers' body. Let's go, I'm taking you all to get revenge!"
Chapter 211: I Have Returned for Those Who Could Not
"Chief, I found a snake! Can Crabbe and I take it back to make snake soup... I am so hungry..."
Just as Su Yu was preparing to teleport back, he heard Goyle's voice behind him. Turning his head, he saw a giant snake over three meters long, severely injured, being pinned down tightly by Goyle and Crabbe. Despite its heavy injuries, it kept flicking its tongue, trying to attack the two of them.
"Nagini, look at me, tell me, do you still have consciousness now?" Su Yu crouched down and stared at the giant snake in front of him, but helplessly, it had completely lost its reason, becoming an animal without consciousness that only knew how to kill by instinct.
Su Yu actually didn't hold much hope. That innocent and romantic girl who longed for freedom and wanted to struggle to live had long since been unable to return, but...
Su Yu clenched his fist, then slowly extended his palm toward her. Su Yu did not hurt her, but gently uttered a few words, and a character for "Seat" appeared in his palm. "Kuoan's 'Entering the Marketplace with Helping Hands'."
Watching Nagini calm down and fall into a deep sleep, Su Yu stood up. "Take her back as well. It just so happens that the Slytherin common room is missing a mascot. Daphne, remember to treat her injuries."
"At the very least, don't let... don't let a girl who yearned for justice end up dying under the Sword of Gryffindor, which represents justice. Nagini, if you knew you would kill so many people, you would surely be very sad, right?"
Su Yu's last sentence sounded like he was talking to himself, and also like he was speaking to someone else, but no one understood what this sentence meant. He didn't explain either, and strode into the portal.
"Crabbe, do you think we have no way to eat it now... Wait, no, why did the Chief use'she'?"
"Heh, look at that, the Chief's favoritism is just too obvious, even Goyle can hear it. I really didn't expect, Goyle, that you would actually grow a brain after participating in a competition. Not bad."
Blaise clapped his hands, patted Goyle on the shoulder, suppressed his laughter, and followed Su Yu.
"Young Master Malfoy will definitely be very happy to see you've become smarter." Callis followed up by patting his shoulder and also stepped into the portal.
"Young Master Malfoy, what do they mean by that?" Goyle stood there, looking a bit dazed.
"They said you two are idiots who only know how to eat!"
Malfoy kicked them both, followed along huffily, but when he reached the portal, he still added, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring Nagini and follow! Finish things up so we can go eat! You two idiots..."
"Alright! Young Master, we're finally going to eat!"
Goyle and Crabbe grinned broadly and laughed happily, because only Young Master Malfoy would never forget about the two of them eating.
——————————
It was already late at night at the Hogwarts School Quidditch Pitch, but all the students, parents, and Professors were waiting for them. Since Harry, Summers, and Neville were surrounded, the map of mountains and seas had stopped showing anything. However, the key to closing the trial was in the hands of Headmaster Dumbledore, and he was currently still receiving emergency treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital. Everyone was praying for him while anxiously waiting for the results.
Lucius tightly grasped Narcissa's hands. His precious son was still inside, and he didn't know what the situation was. Extremely anxious, he wanted to rush in himself, but was stopped by Narcissa, who told him not to cause trouble.
"I've always said Dumbledore doesn't deserve the position of Headmaster. Just look at this bunch of crooked, useless Professors; what kind of students can they teach? I'm not targeting you, Professor Snape, don't look at me like that... You teach very well... I'm just a bit worried about Draco, and I have some dissatisfaction with Dumbledore..."
Typically cowardly but talkative. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall wasn't here right now.
The light from the portal suddenly illuminated the entire Quidditch Pitch, and everyone's eyes turned to the center of the field.
Su Yu walked out first, and the students of Hogwarts School began to applaud and cheer one after another. This was a victory that belonged to their Hogwarts!
The Professors present even rushed over. These past few hours had been the most panic-stricken time for them; the Headmaster was unconscious, Grindelwald was silent, and they didn't know the situation of the children inside—this had worried them sick.
Professor McGonagall was the first to rush over, the worry on her face almost spilling over. She grabbed Su Yu and began a full-body check to see if his body was still intact, which made Su Yu feel very helpless.
"Professor McGonagall, thank you for your concern, but I still have the Pseudo-Six Paths Mode activated. Even if I were injured, I could recover immediately."
Su Yu, who had originally planned to come back and slaughter everyone, was left somewhat at a loss by Professor McGonagall's actions. Aside from Butler Carson, he really wasn't very good at handling the affection of an elderly person in this life.
"You child, you nearly scared me to death, do you know that? What do you mean you're fine? Let me check first. And you all, stand still for me, I need to give you all a detailed checkup. Thank goodness you're okay... This is..."
Just as Professor McGonagall had finished checking Su Yu and let out a sigh of relief, preparing to check the others behind him, she saw Harry and Summers being carried by the Weasley Twins and Cedric. Suddenly, her eyes began to redden, and her hands trembled slightly.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, I... I didn't protect Summers well..."
Cedric looked at the trembling Professor McGonagall, unable to suppress his emotions any longer, and fell to his knees with a thud, weeping bitterly.
The cheering crowd gradually quieted down. They also saw it. Minister Fudge also hurried over, quickly pulled Cedric away, and began to check the condition of Summers and Harry. The Weasley Twins stood to one side; this time, their faces lacked their usual playfulness, showing only deep sadness.
"Child! My child!" Summers' parents stumbled over, pushing past Ludo Bagman and Percy who were trying to stop them, and wailed loudly while holding their child's body, which had long since lost its warmth.
Hermione and Ginny stood together anxiously, looking at the tattered robes on Farley and Cassandra, and gazed at Su Yu with immense worry.
"Who was it? Who exactly was it? Who killed my student?"
Professor McGonagall finally regained her composure. With Dumbledore not here, she was everyone's pillar of support. Now, Professor McGonagall stood up angrily, clenching her still-trembling hands.
Su Yu didn't speak; he walked up to the map of mountains and seas and closed the trial.
As the trial closed, the students from the other schools also began to be teleported back one after another. However, they were all in a coma because Lord Voldemort's plan never intended for them to survive from the beginning. The moment they entered the secret realm, they were uniformly teleported to a special Inner World and all fell unconscious. Originally, their fate was to be used as sacrifices to Hell after Lord Voldemort successfully resurrected, in exchange for restoring his own peak strength. But with Lord Voldemort's escape, they were all released back. They were mostly just unconscious and a bit malnourished, with no major issues. However, there was one rather special person here, which was Fleur; she had stumbled by mistake into the same Inner World as Su Yu.
Looking at that group of nervous students from Mahoutokoro School of Magic and Uagadou, Su Yu slowly raised the slytherin spear in his hand.
"We have returned for those who could not! This time, it is your turn. All Slytherin, listen to my orders! Kill all the Wizards from Mahoutokoro School of Magic and Uagadou!"
Chapter 212: Kill Them All (Thanks to Yabu for the like, thanks)
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Following Su Yu's command, all the Slytherin students immediately entered the Kurama Cloak mode and began indiscriminate attacks on the parents, Professors, and staff from Mahoutokoro School of Magic and Uagadou School around them.
They didn't care about the Chief's reasons or motives; they only knew that this was an order from the Chief! That was enough.
"Student Su-Fley... please calm down... this will cause an international incident..."
Minister Fudge was stunned. He hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the death of a student at Hogwarts School, and now Su Yu was starting an indiscriminate massacre? He felt a pain in his rear, as if the position of Minister for Magic of Great Britain had suddenly sprouted a spike.
Beside Su Yu, Cassandra and Farley also started to act. Even Olivia picked up her wand this time; she, too, wanted to avenge her Theodore!
Hermione didn't have time to hesitate. Out of instinct, she instantly raised her wand and cast Petrificus Totalus on a parent from Mahoutokoro School of Magic nearby. Ginny, beside her, cast Confringo, and a red fireball blasted the person to pieces.
"Oh, my God, Merlin's beard! Ginny! Do you have any idea what you are doing!"
Molly Weasley let out a shrill scream. She could never have imagined that her sweet, sensible, and lovely little daughter had just skillfully blasted a Wizard into fragments...
"Sorry, Mom. Su Yu has given the order. This is different from the past; I must carry it out resolutely. We can talk about it later."
Similarly, Lucius and Narcissa stared in shock as their little Draco revealed a cruel smile, then shoved his wand into Kikuchi Tadao's mouth, using a wind blade to shred his entire body. Although he was splattered with blood, he wore a look of triumph for avenging Harry.
"He... is that really a Malfoy?" Lucius's throat felt dry as he looked at Narcissa in disbelief. He felt that after being a Death Eater for so many years, compared to his own son, he was like a raw recruit...
"Lucius! Look at the fine son you've raised! If you hadn't set such a good example for him back then, how could my dear son have turned into this?" Narcissa said, covering her face and weeping.
Wait, what? I set a good example? I wouldn't dare! I couldn't imagine, even if I racked my brains, how a person could be this cruel! The Draco I taught? If I had that kind of skill, I could laugh out loud even if Lord Voldemort stood in front of me. That useless thing...
Of course, Lucius didn't dare say these things out loud. He hugged Narcissa and kept winking at Draco. You really are my son, I beg you, stop causing trouble and let your mother have some peace. It looks like I won't be able to escape sleeping on the floor when we get home tonight...
Seeing his father winking at him, Draco thought he was being praised. He chuckled and charged back into the fray. In the young Malfoy master's mind, his father was surely complimenting him on having half the flair he had back in the day. After all, young Malfoy couldn't imagine how cruel the Death Eaters were back then, but they must have been much crueler than him. After all, he was on the side of justice, and the villains must be stronger than him. According to the Chief, they were at most 'demonic cultivators' and not truly evil people. Demonic cultivators, after all, couldn't possibly compare to a Demon King, right?
Professor McGonagall had just finished losing her temper and, before getting an answer, watched as Su Yu's students went on a rampage, cleanly and efficiently eliminating everyone associated with Uagadou School and Mahoutokoro School of Magic. She swallowed hard. This child, is this how one takes revenge?
Su Yu seemed to see through Professor McGonagall's thoughts and smiled lightly. "Professor McGonagall, this is not the end..."
Then, to the astonishment of Professor McGonagall and Minister Fudge, he waved his hand into the void. "Isolde, activate the highest directive. Summon all members of the Shadow Compass Society. First, eliminate all Wizards in Great Britain who originated from Uagadou School and Mahoutokoro School of Magic. Then, expand to the whole of Europe, and then to the entire world. Since they dared to join Lord Voldemort and Hell, they must face the consequences of death. Remember, indiscriminate attacks. Don't let a single one escape!"
"Yes! My boss~"
Isolde revealed a sickly flush. Her boss was just so charismatic when he was like this...
"Wait a moment..."
Suddenly, another person walked out of the darkness. Professor McGonagall and Minister Fudge felt a glimmer of hope, hoping that the person who arrived could stop Su Yu's plan.
But when they saw the person walk out of the darkness, their hearts instantly sank back to the bottom. The person who had arrived was none other than Grindelwald.
"Teacher? Do you also want to stop me?"
Su Yu looked up at his teacher, and Isolde also drew her dagger and wand.
"No... why would I stop you? I'm joining this war too, for the sake of Albus, who is lying in bed. Isolde, take this long cloth. From today on, the Pure Oath will also join you. Go and kill all those scumbags, leave none alive."
After saying this, Grindelwald dragged his weary body back into the darkness. He still had to go back and take care of Dumbledore; Albus was not yet out of danger.
"What happened to Headmaster Dumbledore?" Su Yu asked Isolde beside him. After hearing her explanation, Su Yu gradually understood.
No wonder this old guy was acting out of character today and brought out his hidden trump card, the Pure Oath. If this were World War II, it would be called that thing... (I dare not write it, I'm afraid of getting banned...)
"Go. Since Teacher has handed it to you, just merge the two forces and carry it out."
Upon hearing Su Yu's order, Isolde turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated into the air.
"Student Su-Fley, this will lead to a catastrophe!" Minister Fudge was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around Professor McGonagall, sighing as he walked. But what could he do? Would Su Yu listen to him? If Su Yu listened, would he still be getting beaten up at Hogwarts School?
...
The sky over London had changed. When all the Wizards opened their doors in the early morning, they saw one after another paper crane, as if made of fresh blood, slowly rising from the ground, flapping their wings as they flew into the sky to gather, seemingly dyeing the entire world in the color of blood.
Following this was a huge black curtain that blotted out the sky and sun, with black veils slowly descending, covering the buildings and streets.
One black, one red—all the Wizards in Great Britain could see it. For a time, panic spread. Many young Wizards and students didn't know what was happening and stared blankly at the strange scene before them. Only the elderly Wizards, upon seeing the black curtains, seemed to recall some great terror and hid in their homes, trembling.
"Oh, Pansy, Astoria, come out and look! The Chief's move is seriously cool, isn't it?"
The young Malfoy, who had been given a mixed doubles beating the night before, dragged his swollen, pig-like head out early in the morning and stood at the entrance of the Great Hall of Hogwarts School, shouting at Pansy and Astoria.
"You could at least heal the injuries on your face..."
"But my mother said I shouldn't heal them... that I need to learn a lesson... and she said something about me quitting demonic cultivation... How is that possible! I didn't join a cult; I am clearly a cultivator! The Chief told me so!"
Chapter 213: Forbidden Zone
"It is definitely him! Absolutely!"
Hell, Pandemonium, located at the absolute center of Hell, was also one of the few large towns in Hell. Even the entire palace had been specially built by Mammon for Lucifer back then.
At this moment, a man with slightly messy blonde hair and a pale complexion was throwing a tantrum. The items on the table were swept to the floor by him. One side of his clothes was torn by a wound, and dark red blood stained the fabric, but he still kept one hand in his pocket, suppressing the pain in his body, his arrogant aura undiminished.
"It must be him!"
Lucifer muttered.
Suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly. Black clouds churned, obscuring the entire firmament of Hell, and wild winds howled and raged.
Six figures emerged from the black mist. The six great Demon Lords arrived together, murderous and menacing, seeking out the injured Lucifer. Today, the six of them were determined to ask him, Lucifer, why he had ruthlessly destroyed their six avatars.
The palace gates were opened, and the six Demon Lords walked in. Beelzebub, who was leading, was about to flare up when he was blasted out of the door with a single palm strike.
"Get out! Before my mood gets any worse, get out of here."
"Aiy-hai!" Samael, the Lord of Wrath, opened his mouth and launched into a string of rap, "What the... Do you think I'm giving you face? You killed our avatars, and you think you're in the right?"
With a squelch, Samael couldn't speak anymore. Lucifer appeared before him, and as he looked down, his heart had already been pierced by Lucifer, and in Lucifer's hand, he was clutching a beating heart.
"Since you insist on seeking death, I will grant your wish."
Beelzebub had just crawled back, and seeing this scene, he turned and ran without the slightest hesitation. Others might not know, but he knew very clearly that when the four of them rebelled together, rather than saying it was together, it was more like Lucifer bringing his three accessories. But in that battle, Lucifer suffered too great a loss, so until now, he had not recovered to his peak state.
"You... what exactly are you trying to do?"
Leviathan saw Lucifer kill Samael so decisively and became visibly panicked.
But Lucifer, whose eyes were already red with slaughter, did not answer him. Instead, he looked at the fleeing Beelzebub and said indifferently.
"Want to run? Isn't it a bit too late?"
A black domain enveloped the entire Pandemonium. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lucifer reopened the palace gates. However, at this time, he was holding six hearts in his hands. Dark red blood soaked the damaged shoulder of his black suit, slowly flowing down the texture of the fabric, and beads of blood gathered at the edge of his hem, dripping onto the ground one by one.
"For you, I have killed my six beloved friends and family with my own hands. Wait a little longer... Wait until I hold all the authority of Hell in my hands and recover my full strength. This time, I will absolutely not lose to you again!"
"Go, go tell that idiot Lord Voldemort, during the time I am recovering, let him also lie low and stop looking for trouble. I still need him to open the door to the human world for me!"
But how could Lucifer understand? How could Lord Voldemort possibly listen to him?
Hogwarts School.
Harry really didn't want to wake up; he just wanted to die and be done with it. Because of the death of Summers, he had once again become the target of isolation by the entire school.
Many students seemed to have their own thoughts about the death of Summers, but they dared not provoke Slytherin, so they could only isolate Harry.
In the school corridors, many students would take a detour as soon as they saw Harry, as if they had seen some jinx. Even worse, some would whisper in front of Harry, covering their mouths with their hands, afraid that Harry wouldn't notice.
Su Yu called this them hearing the echoes of disaster, though he didn't quite understand the thought process of these people. What did they mean by Harry having psychological problems? And that he was the greatest danger? It was truly an old Hogwarts tradition: bullying and isolating Harry once a year.
(I actually don't really understand it either; why can they isolate him for this? A total unlucky guy, just because of one article by Rita Skeeter, hahahaha.)
"Have you heard? Barty Crouch Jr. is that black-robed figure who appeared last year!"
Early in the morning, Malfoy rushed excitedly into the Slytherin common room, starting to show off his exclusive news.
"What? The black-robed figure we've been looking for for ages is actually him? Where did you hear that news?"
Callis was chewing on a small cookie, looking full of curiosity.
"Hey! Don't disbelieve me, this is my exclusive news! Absolutely reliable. I also heard that Professor Snape fed him an entire bottle of Veritaserum, and that's the only reason he spilled it."
Malfoy smiled mysteriously and even acted out an exaggerated version of drinking Veritaserum.
(Actually, in the original work, there is no description of Professor Snape feeding him a bottle of Veritaserum. He gave the Veritaserum to Dumbledore, and then Dumbledore fed Barty three drops, and he said everything.)
"And there's more, listen to me finish. Do you know that during the entire Hell army's attack on Hogwarts School, only two people ran away? Do you know who those two are?"
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads and couldn't guess, Malfoy seemed to gain great satisfaction. Just as he was about to say the names, he was interrupted by Su Yu.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Karkaroff and Bagman."
Malfoy choked, his face turning red with frustration. Those were his lines! How could the Chief do this! He hadn't finished showing off yet!
"Chief, you are truly amazing, to be able to guess even this..."
No choice, Su Yu had already said it, what else could he do? Might as well butter him up...
A room full of people looked at Malfoy like this and couldn't stop laughing. He needed to be taken down a peg. Ever since Malfoy came out of the secret realm, his tail had been almost reaching the sky; it was time to humble him.
Karkaroff ran away because he was too scared, while Minister Bagman was something else. He had taken out too many loans to bet on Hogwarts School taking first place, but because of the changes in the competition, the tournament was suspended. With no first place, he suffered heavy losses and snuck away to hide from his debts.
Headmaster Dumbledore had also woken up. Under the meticulous care of Grindelwald, he was recovering very quickly and was almost ready to return. There was no help for it; these past few days had kept Professor McGonagall extremely busy. The restoration of Hogwarts School after the great battle, the psychological trauma of the students, the accountability of the participating schools, the accountability of the Ministry of Magic, the follow-up handling of the deceased students and their parents... piles of problems had turned Professor McGonagall's hair white with worry.
However, the issues at the Ministry of Magic were handled the fastest. As soon as Headmaster Dumbledore woke up, Minister Fudge rushed to St. Mungo's Hospital. Even Grindelwald did not participate in their conversation. The two talked inside for a long time, but when Minister Fudge came out, he looked very smug and even a bit arrogant, almost getting beaten up by Grindelwald again.
As for the Shadow Compass Society, progress was also very smooth. Now, in the entire Great Britain, there was not a single Wizard from Uagadou or Mahoutokoro School of Magic left. Those who could flee had fled, and those who couldn't were buried here forever. At first, there was some panic, but now that they saw it had nothing to do with ordinary Wizards, they also began to join in the excitement. For a time, the entire Great Britain became a forbidden zone for Uagadou and Mahoutokoro School of Magic.
