Chapter 173: Immortality

Chapter 173: Immortality

The sea was calm and the slightly chilly sea breeze blew up the black hair on Jon's forehead.

The direct cause of so many changes in this world is certainly Voldemort.

It's precisely because he has undergone such a big change, becoming sane, wise and powerful, it leads to all the present-day developments.

So investigating clearly why Voldemort has undergone such a big change is not only to figure out the causes and consequences but also to plan how to defeat the vilest dark lord from ancient times to the present.

If you want to defeat the enemy, it is necessary to understand the enemy first.

And Dumbledore in all these years is obviously not unproductive, he has not given up on investigating Voldemort's past, the sailing this time, means that he already got some results.

Now Jon and co. meeting Nick is to obtain the fruit of this work.

"That's right, Dumbledore found me that year and asked me to help him, is about this." Nick's gaze was grave.

"Dumbledore never gave up on investigating the Dark Lord's past, especially after Hogwarts Castle was completely taken over. He personally visited many places and came up with a very crucial answer - Voldemort, he once gained the power of immortality!"

Jon listened to Nick's words, and his face didn't show much of a shocked look.

He knew what this so-called power of immortality would be, the Horcrux was a project that Voldemort had started when he was still a student with the name Tom Riddle, for immortality.

Voldemort feared death.

When he had just learned about becoming a wizard and was intimidated by the magic shown by Dumbledore, he had become fascinated by such a miraculous and powerful power.

But soon, like a sponge, he kept absorbing knowledge and realized that magic, even if it is powerful, it has no way to let people escape death.

This was very incomprehensible to Voldemort.

"That power of immortality has made him exceptionally powerful, and even if someone in the magical world is truly stronger than him, there is no way to defeat him. But although he is unlikely to be killed, such a powerful force is not without any flaws."

Nick said seriously.

"According to Dumbledore's investigation, he is using killing to split his soul to achieve his immortality, but the soul has always been the most fundamental consciousness of a person, and for wizards who rely on their 'will' to power their magic, it is the key of keys."

"The dark lord split his soul without restraint, and the constant killing made the raging madness consume himself, which made his dark magic more powerful, but also made him completely lose his reason."

"Those who followed him at the beginning were actually all attracted by his charisma and ambitious ideals, after all, at the beginning he did not have such a powerful power and was still a nobody in the whole magical world."

"And after losing his sanity, he became even more terrifying, like a madman who only destroys, and also made more people unable to accept his existence."

"Before splitting his soul, he called the people gathered around him 'friends', but later his 'friends' all became his slaves, and he stood high above them as the lord."

"The entire magical world knew that there would be no future in following a madman, and even among those around the Dark Lord, fewer and fewer were truly loyal to him; the vast majority were simply opportunists who were trying to borrow the Dark Lord's name to help themselves gain benefits."

"So at that time, even though he was so horrible that everyone dared not mention his name, he was not yet able to have the ability to defeat Dumbledore and control the entire British magical community."

"It's just, in one night, all of this changed."

Nick's voice suddenly became extraordinarily low, and Jon held his breath.

"A prophecy, uttered by a descendant of the Trelawney family, appeared. She told Dumbledore that there would be a child who would become the Dark Lord's arch-enemy, and the one who would survive!"
