Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 338: Dark Magic Invasion

As the saying goes, what you fear is bound to come true. As soon as Lin Yougang thought of Dumbledore, he felt something hot in his pocket. When he took it out, he saw that it was a fiery red phoenix feather.

This hair was plucked from Fawkes's tail not long ago and can be used to make a wand core or other alchemical material; but its only use right now is to act as a magic teleportation locator.

The magic circle cast and carved by Lin You himself allows Fox to sense the location of the tail feather at any time; whether it is sending a message or teleporting, it can ensure safety and timeliness.

Previously, the investigation into Patrick Morgan's "legacy" was divided into two lines. The one directly related to the royal family was taken over by Earl Gove himself, and the other was handed over to MI5 in order to comply with the relevant system of intelligence jurisdiction.

However, Lin You's compliance with the system only went so far. He handed the intelligence to MI5 with his left hand, and sent an owl to notify Dumbledore with his right hand; the latest progress of the investigation was continuously sent through the "recorder" sent to MI5 as a liaison.

Ultimately, magical matters have to be left to wizards.

This tail feather was created so that both sides could communicate with each other in a timely manner. I remember that when it was first plucked, the little phoenix was extremely unhappy, but it didn't dare to be rude to Lin You, so it turned around and pecked Dumbledore's head several times.

Now the tail feathers are hot, which means Fox is remotely activating the magic circle engraved on it to locate the position of the tail feathers. However...

Lin You looked up at the light beams covering the manor. With this more powerful space isolation array, the little phoenix might not be able to get in. So he waved his wand and cancelled all the light beams; as a result, he saw several people falling in from the outer wall of the manor.

Upon closer inspection, they were a few Aurors led by Scrimgeour.

The light column isolation array prevented the Death Eaters in the manor from escaping, and also prevented outsiders from entering. It is estimated that these Aurors were anxious to jump up and down, climb over the wall and dig holes outside before; but the array was suddenly lifted, and they were caught off guard and fell down. When they got up, there were a lot of grass debris on their heads and clothes, and they were very embarrassed.

"Mr. Forrester, what on earth are you doing? I have to warn...what...what's wrong with these people?" Scrimgeour was speaking in a menacing voice. His voice reached the corridor before he even arrived. But when he saw more than a dozen Death Eaters being imprisoned, crying and screaming, his eyes became a little blank.

"Didn't you see it? These people are the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban a few days ago. They are hiding in Mr. Malfoy's manor..." Before Lin You could finish his words, a quick cry was heard, and a golden-red fire flashed in front of the porch; a man and a bird appeared out of thin air.

The figure was huge and burly, but after he appeared he couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground with a thump.

"Alastor?" Lin You recognized the other party, as well as the phoenix Fawkes hovering in the air.

The first thing Moody said when he recognized Lin You was: "Dumbledore is in danger. Voldemort has set a trap."

"Did you come here directly after escaping the trap?" Unexpectedly, Lin You did not ask any details or the process, but asked a question that did not seem urgent.

"Yes, Fox took me..."

"That's good. You don't have to worry about the rest." Lin You looked up at the little phoenix, "Take me to find Dumbledore."

Mad-Eye was shocked: "You are crazy, that's Voldemort!"

Scrimgeour was standing nearby, and he interrupted in confusion: "What are you talking about? What happened to Dumbledore, and that...what did Voldemort do?" Although there was a brief pause, he quickly overcame his fear and said the name, which was rare.

"It's best to just do what you can, Mr. Scrimgeour. I'll leave those Death Eaters to you." Lin You didn't bother to talk nonsense with the Auror Office Director who wanted to get involved in everything. He looked up at the little phoenix who was still holding a grudge. "If you want Dumbledore to die, you don't have to listen to me. I don't care whether I go to save people or collect bodies."

Fox circled above everyone's heads, then swooped down towards Lin You with a scream, and his voice seemed to be filled with strong resentment.

“Don’t do that!” Moody stretched out his hand to grab Lin You, but inexplicably he pulled nothing; after a phoenix cry, Fox disappeared without a trace with Lin You.

The retired old Auror and the current Head of the Auror Office were left staring at each other.

"Where is Dumbledore and what happened?" Scrimgeour pressed Moody; he was not even bothered to deal with the imprisoned Death Eaters.

One hundred Death Eaters are not as valuable as one Voldemort.

"I... I don't know; everything happened so fast." Moody shuddered as he recalled what had happened before.

Scrimgeour was amazed at the fear shown by the retired Auror; what could make Mad-Eye shudder at the thought?
"Where were you going? Where is Dumbledore?"

"Yorkshire, in West Yorkshire."

When the retired Auror was talking to the current director, Fox had already arrived at the destination with Lin You. Through the spatial perception of the Ophiuchus microcosm, Lin You discovered that the little Phoenix had traveled about half the distance of England, but he didn't know where exactly it would be after landing.

Looking around, there was no sign of Dumbledore; there were mountains in the distance, and the place was a wilderness in a valley.

Fox screamed and flew forward, hovering in front of a forest, whistling. Its body was shining with golden red flames, and it was spewing flames from its mouth, becoming the only light in the dark night; with the help of the firelight, Lin You also noticed something strange in the forest.

It was a darkness so thick that it was almost tangible, as if it swallowed up all light; not even the flames of the phoenix could illuminate the area even a foot in front of it.

This ball of darkness was hidden in the night, and almost all the forest area within Lin You's sight was covered by it; it was neither smoke nor fog, neither expanding nor shrinking, but it was bright and seemed to have substance flowing on the surface.

Lin You stepped forward and looked at him for a moment, then tilted his head to look at Fawkes: "Is Dumbledore in the woods?"

Fox uttered a clear cry, as if in response.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look." Lin You put away his magic wand, opened his five fingers and clenched them, and a golden long staff appeared out of thin air in his palm; then a golden light shone, covering his whole body, and the golden holy clothes wrapped him tightly from head to toe. After changing clothes, Lin You did not rush in, but shouted to the sky: "Is Ares, the God of Truth, or other possible gods here? If so, please tell me, or someone can help stop them?"

The night sky is silent and still.

"Very good, you are all not here. I will take this as your promise. If anything happens, you can't blame me." After waiting for a while, Lin Youcai took the first step into the darkness.

As soon as you enter the forest, it feels like you've stepped into a deep swamp; the stagnation and obstruction come not only from under your feet, but from all directions, as if you've thrown yourself into a ball of sticky mud.

Lin You took a deep breath, and an indescribable strong stench rushed into his nose; it seemed that this dark substance had squeezed out all the air around it. Although he had not been in contact with it for a long time, he had already guessed that this dark substance was the embodiment of black magic, the magic power from the dark dimension.

The silver snake summoned by the Patronus spell glowed dimly, and although it made Lin You feel a little better, the snake's body shrank with every circle it swam in the darkness. In a moment, the Patronus became as thin as a gossamer and quickly disappeared.

A faint and strange laughter sounded in my ears; black magic flowed around me, making the sound of "gurgling" water. I listened carefully, but found nothing, as if everything was an illusion.

The dark magic was all-pervasive, trying to get into the gaps of the holy clothes and corrode Lin You's body; this attempt immediately led to the holy clothes' counterattack. The microcosm burned with golden light on the surface of the holy clothes, incinerating all the dark and filthy things.

Continuing to go deeper into the forest, the "sticky" feeling became stronger with every step; Lin You felt like he was "swimming" in a pool of mud.

The phoenix Fox, who had been following Lin You, screamed and fell from mid-air; Lin You raised his long staff and let the golden snake on the head of the staff catch it and put it into the protection circle of the microcosm.

Looking closely, the flames surging on the Phoenix's body could no longer withstand the erosion of darkness. Its golden-red feathers were gradually fading, and the tips of its feathers were even beginning to turn black.

Although the names are similar, the phoenix living in the human world is not as good as the devil Phoenix.

Lin You shook his head and put Fox on his shoulder. At this time, the little phoenix didn't care about the "revenge of plucking its feathers" and honestly accepted the protection of the small universe. Free from the erosion of dark magic, the black color on its feathers quickly faded.

"We can't keep wasting time like this." After saving the little phoenix, Lin You did not move forward; while muttering to himself, he took out the killer weapon that restrained the dark attribute from his arms - the "Sphere of Helios".

Pure sunlight suddenly bloomed; the strange laughter that had always lingered around suddenly turned into sharp screams. Wherever the sunlight shone, wisps of black smoke rose slowly; all the filth evaporated and burned in the sunlight, and finally turned into ashes.

The screams were circling around, becoming smaller and smaller, as if the person causing the screams was fleeing in panic; the moment the screams completely disappeared, the rising black smoke suddenly shrank, but then dispersed as soon as it gathered.

Lin You could see clearly that a strange figure emerged in the moment the black smoke gathered.

It was a ghost with only half a face; it had no eyebrows, eyes, ears or nose, only a bloody mouth with two rows of sharp teeth. The most surprising thing was that this figure was upside down, as if it was hanging upside down in the air, staring directly at Lin You with "eyes" that did not exist at all.

In an instant, the ghost disappeared as the black smoke dissipated.

"Upside-down man? Hanged man? What a weird name... Go to hell! I don't believe you dare to come in person." Lin You walked in with the "Sun God flashlight". All the evil spirits retreated wherever he passed, and the deep forest was as bright as day.

According to the content rewritten by the quill pen, the black magic dimension where the Upside-Down Man is located is clearly demarcated from the big world; if He wants to enter the big world, He must either use his overwhelming power to completely break the boundary between dimensions, or he can only learn from the devil to possess humans or other gods and send his soul and magic over.

The first situation is impossible. The big world is designed to carry and integrate more story worlds. If it is assimilated into the dark multiverse or the black magic dimension, wouldn't it be equivalent to the end of the world? How can the stories of mortals be integrated into it at that time?
If the inverted person dared to do this, everyone from God to Zeus to Odin would beat him to death.

Therefore, the only option is to use the second method: possess humans, transfer part of the consciousness, soul and magic over, and expand the influence of the black magic dimension to a limited extent.

It's just that the Upside Down is roughly equivalent to a main god in Olympus or the Pantheon in terms of divinity; although He is one level lower than the DC God and is far inferior to the God-King of each pantheon, but facing a "mortal" like Voldemort is like a human facing an ant.

With the power of God, He can crush the so-called Dark Lord with just a finger; if He comes in person and possesses a body, it can be basically confirmed that the wizarding world will no longer have to worry about Voldemort in the future.

The powerful godhead of the god will destroy Voldemort's soul in an instant, including the fragments hidden in the Horcrux. At that time, Dumbledore will no longer need to worry about Harry Potter; because the child's soul will also be destroyed.

This kind of thing that completely subverts the story plot and endangers the stability of the big world framework is probably not something that even the Upside-Down Man would dare to do; He does not have the strength to overturn the table, and naturally does not have the courage to do so.

Getting back to the point, after determining the origin of the dark magic, Lin You also determined the direction to move forward; just go to the place where the black magic is the most concentrated and powerful.

Pure sunlight paved the way, pushing aside the layers of darkness, and a country villa appeared before our eyes; it was located in an open space between the woods, without walls or manor gates, only a circle of low green plants and flowers planted around the house, which in disguise marked the area attached to the manor.

There was no light in the villa, and the surrounding flowers and plants were all withered and yellow. Even the vines climbing on the walls were mostly black and yellow.

There was a faint silver light in front of the villa, which was shaking like a candle in the wind under the impact of black magic.

The Phoenix Fawkes screamed on Lin You's shoulder, and flapped its wings to fly towards the silver light; however, it fell down less than half a foot in the air, and hit the shoulder armor of the holy garment with a "bang".

Birds are just birds, their brains are not even as big as walnuts. This is the core point where the dark magic is most concentrated in the entire forest. Even the sunlight emitted by the "Helios Sphere" is slightly dim. Do you still want to fly?
Looking up, right in front of the silver light, at the center of the endless black magic, a figure was floating in the air; the body wrapped in a black robe almost blended into the surrounding darkness, only the bald head was shining in the silver light.

"Sure enough, he is possessed by Voldemort." Lin You sighed. "Yes, it is more appropriate to possess Voldemort than anyone else. At least he looks closer. He has no hair and no nose, so it is easier to get used to him in terms of physical features."

Just as Count Goff approached with a sigh, Voldemort in mid-air slowly opened his eyes.

The figure of the upside-down man flashed in his pupils.
