Grindelwald set foot on this strange land.
The residence of the God of Death is very small, and its area is not as good as Nurmengard.
It is such a small place where a **** lives and has influenced the history of mankind for thousands of years.
Grindelwald followed in the footsteps of Death, circled the river, and finally paced under the tall elder tree.
The island is simple, bare, with the only life, the elder, and everything else dead.
It's hard to imagine that this is where the **** of death resides.
It's almost like a prison.
So, as the only life, why is the elder tree so special?
The reason is very simple, it grew up from the elderberry seeds planted by the **** of death when he became a god.
After a thousand years, the **** of death used the water of the Styx to water it day and night to grow to such a scale.
It is not only the source of death's power, an inseparable life, but also the incarnation of his soul.
This elder tree is the **** of death... Destiny!
Only by cutting it off can the man be deprived of his status as a **** of death, thus giving him a chance to kill him completely.
Grindelwald entered the underworld and lurked to this day, just for this elder tree.
Of course, as the incarnation of "Destiny", not everyone can destroy it.
Magic, weapons and even prehistoric mysteries are impossible!
Only the weapon of the **** of death... can.
Reaper has two weapons: a sickle and an axe.
With a sickle in hand, you can harvest billions of lives;
With an axe in hand, you can change the world.
They are the only things that can cut through elderberries.
In Grindelwald's hand, a rusty axe appeared.
After entering the underworld, he rode the North Sea Monster and broke into the end of the Styx. In the land of the dead, finally found this battle axe.
But, even with an axe in hand, how could a mortal cut off the elder of the **** of death?
There is nothing in return without sacrifice. To get something, you have to pay the same price.
What the old man needs to pay is... death.
Not an ordinary death, but a complete sacrifice of the soul.
After the sacrifice, he could not become a ghost, could not enter the Styx to be reincarnated, and could not be summoned... completely vanished.
Grindelwald had known this for a long time, and there was still no hesitation in this trip to the underworld.
Even very happy.
He hasn't killed God yet.
Before dying, use your old life to replace the **** of death... it's worth it!
Or, in Grindelwald's view, he was long overdue.
Back then, when the three of them fought each other, did no one really notice Ariana?
No, Grindelwald saw it.
He can foresee the future, and at the beginning of the melee, "witnessed" the end of the girl.
He still didn't stop it, and even... snickered.
Ariana is the silent one, and she will not live long.
If she died in an accident, it would be a relief to everyone.
Especially for Albus Dumbledore!
Grindelwald, who was still young at that time, thought to himself:
Albus doesn't have to be dragged down by his sister anymore, and he doesn't have to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister.
The two of them can finally fly far and high, follow the planned journey of seeking the Holy Spirit, obtain the prehistoric meaning, and find the God of Death.
they unite,
Revolutionize this failed world!
Build a whole new world!
Ariana's death was for... a greater good! !
but,
When the girl really had to die in the melee, Grindelwald was a little flustered.
And the next development is far beyond his prediction.
He still remembers the scene at the time:
Young Dumbledore squatted down slowly, hugged the small corpse, and pressed his forehead against hers.
At that moment, when the boy hugged his sister, he not only burst into tears, but also whimpered and sobbed.
Looking at that extremely painful face, Grindelwald was in a trance for a moment, even heartache.
He has a hunch:
I might lose Dumbledore myself.
Grindelwald's hunch was right.
The two of them complained to each other and had in-depth exchanges. They were like-minded comrades, even closer than brothers.
Still parted ways.
Dumbledore's whole body collapsed, his eyes were painful, he didn't say a word to him, he just knelt on the ground alone, digging graves with his bare hands, his fingers were covered with blood...
Grindelwald was disappointed.
Then he ran away,
like a coward.
When he came, he was alone; when he left, he only took away the medicine bottle that had formed a blood alliance with Albus.
This is their token.
But Albus didn't chase after him at all, and Grindelwald turned from disappointment to despair.
It was Aberforth who came after him and wanted to kill him.
The outcome of the battle is doomed.
Grindelwald easily overpowered Aberforth. He hated Aberforth, but he didn't hurt the boy.
After all, it was Albus Dumbledore's only relative.
From then on, Grindelwald went on alone, as planned that summer.
He is like a man who keeps running forward, never looking back, just because...
Ashamed.
Ariana's death left Grindelwald with guilt for the rest of his life.
In that decisive battle, he should have died at the hands of Dumbledore.
Instead of killing him, he kept him alive.
From then on, in Nurmengard, in that dark and gloomy prison, Grindelwald has been imprisoned for 50 years, and this rest of his life is just to atone for his sins.
Not just for those years, the Muggles and wizards he killed, but also for that innocent girl.
Grindelwald is not afraid of death, he has been living, just want to atone for his sins.
If you can make up for the sins of those years with your own death, what could be easier?
The old man raised the axe, without hesitation, he slashed **** the elder tree.
When the axe fell on the vine, a phantom of a sickle appeared in the air.
It is like a sharp weapon for harvesting souls, which hooks out Grindelwald's soul little by little.
The soul that leaves the body is burning violently, it is a kind of heart-piercing pain.
He didn't stop.
Keep swinging the axe.
If death does not leave this island, the wizard has no chance to come up;
Even if the **** of death leaves, once the abnormality is detected, he can instantly cross the space and return here;
Even if the **** of death can't come back, and he doesn't sneak into the end of the river to find the axe, he can't destroy the elderberry...
Now, it's all happening at the same time.
That's what he told William...the only hope.
How could he give up so easily!
The old man was like a diligent lumberjack, constantly raising his axe and chopping on the elder.
Click!
That elder wand that made the Elder Wand, made the Holy Grail, made countless Deathly Hallows... fell to the ground.
Until this moment, Grindelwald's soul has been completely torn out, like a cigarette that has been lit for a long time, about to burn to the end.
"Please, Albus, forgive me for all the hurt I've caused you in this life."
In the darkness of night, the old man stretched out his dry, bamboo-like arm and probed into the air.
Before he was dying, the scene of that summer replayed in his mind:
Young Dumbledore and Young Grindelwald stand face to face in a barn.
Both of them used their wands to draw a line on their palms.
Blood gushed out, and they clasped their hands together.
"Fingers clasped,
blood flow.
Always remember my love never hurt Iraq. "
The five fingers of the old man began to dissipate, and then the arms and the body.
"The most precious thing in my life is that you came with that midsummer."
"But, summer is over, and so is my story..."
"So, Albus..."
"Goodbye."
So... Albus Dumbledore, no more.
There was a gust of wind blowing between heaven and earth. The blood was blown away, and the dust was also blown away.
Grindelwald disappeared, and the figure was no longer there.
There is no Gellert anymore.
