Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 340 The Betrayed Man
Voldemort's body has become a leaky balloon, or a leaky water bag. The blade of the God-killing Sword seems to have some kind of effect that inhibits the regeneration and healing of biological tissues, and the wounds cut by the blade are difficult to heal; the Inverted Man repeatedly materializes black magic to try to seal the wounds, but is repeatedly dispersed and disrupted by more uncontrolled magic.

After losing control of his body and the black magic, the Inverted Man's emotions seemed to be on the verge of being out of control, and he uttered bursts of inexplicable roars; the roars were like a broken bellows, sharp and hoarse, and upon careful listening, they seemed to come from the depths of the Netherworld, filled with hatred and hostility towards all life.

The battle is not over yet. The inverted man has not completely lost the ability to fight back, nor has he lost the ability to escape.

The golden snake staff was placed on the ground, and the microcosm expanded in all directions with it as the center; the burning flames pushed away the darkness and isolated the influence of black magic. The door of space opened silently, and as the microcosm expanded, the dimensional space also "swallowed" the three-dimensional space of the material world synchronously.

Lin You's little trick could not be hidden from the Upside-Down Man; when the small universe expanded to the feet of Voldemort's body, He immediately discovered the abnormal changes in space.

The cutting of the dimensional space will sever the connection between the black magic dimension and the material world, not only isolating the black magic outside and cutting off the energy replenishment of the Inverted Man, but it will also cut off His escape back to the black magic dimension.

It is the Inverted Man who controls Voldemort's body, but this control is not remote control across the barrier of two dimensions. Instead, the Inverted Man projects part of his own consciousness and possesses Voldemort's body.

Once the connection between the two dimensions is cut off, the part of consciousness sent by the head will be forced to remain in the material plane; and after losing the energy support from its hometown, it will inevitably weaken rapidly and end up being at the mercy of others.

How could the God of Black Magic tolerate such a massacre?

But before the Upside-Down Man could react, a rope gleaming with golden light fell from the sky and caught him tightly. His skillful movements, rapid throwing, and precise catching would put professional cowboys to shame.

The "Lasso of Truth" forces the bound person not to lie; it is a magical device that can directly restrain the other party's consciousness and soul through the body. Coincidentally, the Upside Down controlled Voldemort's body by remotely controlling his consciousness and soul. Being tied up by the "Lasso of Truth", his control over black magic almost dropped to a negative level.

The moment he was tied up by the lasso, Voldemort let out a shrill scream. Layers of black mist appeared on the surface of his skin, and the originally pale and dry skin quickly turned black and purple, while various strange lines appeared from time to time.

Immediately afterwards, Voldemort's body began to "shrink", like fruit that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, completely dehydrated and turned into dried fruit.

The "Lasso of Truth" shrunk significantly, but it still tightly wrapped around the shrunken body.

Not long after, the body, which had been completely "dehydrated" and turned into a foreskin-like skeleton, began to rot, and smelly pus overflowed from every pore, turning into black flames the moment it came into contact with the air.

Wisps of black smoke rose up.

Wonder Woman held the lasso tightly, but a look of disgust appeared on her face: "Evil black magic..."

The black smoke was filled with a strong burnt smell that made one want to vomit; Lin You's face did not look good either, but he was still diligently controlling the small universe. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Inverted Man's consciousness was disturbed by the "Lasso of Truth", he continued to expand the dimensional space, almost completely enveloping Voldemort's body.

Both sides are racing against time to see whether the "Lasso of Truth" plus the "Dimensional Space" can sever the connection between the dark magic dimension and the material plane first, or whether the Upside Down Man can destroy Voldemort's body first.

The "Lasso of Truth" cannot bind invisible things; only by destroying Voldemort's magical body and inverting people's consciousness can they break free from the lasso and regain their freedom.

"Voldemort, where is your ambition? Where is your arrogance? Will you only bow your head and obey before God? Where is your ambition to conquer death?" Doctor Lin You's shouting one after another made the inverted man confused.

The Ophiuchus Saint corresponds to the ancient Greek god of medicine. This god of medicine can treat not only physical diseases, but he is also an outstanding psychologist; he is especially good at psychological hypnosis.

Including all the Gold Saints, the entire Sanctuary will be hypnotized by Him at once. The questions that Lin You shouted out at this moment contained Ophiuchus's unique hypnotic ability.

Amidst one question after another, the Inverted Man's consciousness was slightly dazed for a moment, and Voldemort's self-awareness immediately showed signs of becoming clear.

Whether it was ambition or simply the desire to survive out of fear of death, in short, Voldemort's self-consciousness, which was originally suppressed by the Inverted Man, began to develop a certain will to resist.

This temporary "awakened" will to resist is minimal, and as soon as it emerges it is repressed again - at most it only distracts the inverted person for a moment. But at this critical juncture of gain and loss, of life and death, a moment of distraction can also cause irreversible consequences.

The dimensional space closed at the moment the Upside-Down Man was distracted, completely isolating the energy transmission between the dark magic dimension and Voldemort's body.

The storm of black magic paused for a moment.

At the moment when the dimensional space closed, Lin You pointed his long staff diagonally: "Captivate the mind!"

Although it was only a small part of the inverted person's consciousness, the memory contained therein was likely to contain important information about his cooperation with Patrick Morgan, which was extremely valuable. Lin You had to act before the other party destroyed his memory.

The power of the magic built with divinity increased exponentially, and the moment it hit, it almost tore Voldemort's brain apart from the physical level. The Dark Lord could be declared dead, but in a biological sense, his brain was not really dead, because Lin You and the Inverted Man were using this as a battlefield, struggling to seesaw at the level of will.

The dark magic all around started to surge with even greater violence after a brief pause; the trapped man was still fighting, trying to make one last stand.

Just as the storm was about to rise, Wonder Woman suddenly pulled with force, pulling Voldemort's body, which was almost about to turn into ashes, in front of her, and then rang the silver bracelet on her wrist.

The irresistible shock waves spread out in all directions, colliding head-on with the huge waves of black magic; at this moment, it was like waves smashing on the rocks, like dark clouds being blown away by the wind, wherever the shock waves passed, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.

Miraculously, the invisible energy wave shattered most of Voldemort's body, but just kept the part above the chest, especially the head, intact; and when the shock wave was about to hit the surrounding dimensional space, it also "just right" disappeared, without causing any damage to the space blockade.

Lin You, who witnessed the whole process, was certain of one thing: the reason why he and Wonder Woman were able to successfully cooperate against the enemy this time was not because of his good cooperation; on the contrary, it was because Wonder Woman had been actively adapting to his fighting style, and she was always able to adjust in time and make the most appropriate choice within a short period of time.

What terrible combat experience and intuition; fortunately, she was an ally on his side. After the shockwave, Wonder Woman's attack did not stop; after shattering most of Voldemort's body, the "Lasso of Truth" in her hand circled around and tightly wrapped around his neck again.

"What is your plan?" Wonder Woman's voice rang in Voldemort's brain through the "lasso", like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, making the Upside-Down Man's remaining consciousness dizzy.

Lin You took the opportunity to exert his strength, casting out "Terminology" left and right with the greatest force; each spell contained powerful divinity, and also concealed the mind control that the Ophiuchus microcosm was good at.

The remaining consciousness of the inverted man finally collapsed. It was just a wisp of remnant, and after losing the blessing of the black magic dimension, it was like a lost dog. How could it resist two powerful mind-interference abilities at the same time?
A large number of memories came flooding back like a tide. At the same time, various emotions related to the memories also came one after another; there was the ambition when the plan was first made, the confusion when Lin You and Wonder Woman suddenly appeared, and the resentment and hatred when certain expectations were not met.

"Betrayal, deception! You betrayed me, Ares!" The upside-down figure opened his bloody mouth and let out a sharp and piercing "roar". The target of his roar slowly emerged in his memory, but it was not the true god Ares, but the face of Patrick Morgan.

I don’t know if it’s because the emotions are too excited, which causes the images in the inverted person’s memory to be particularly clear, and the speed at which the images “switch” is much faster than usual; in Lin You’s “vision”, these images are like a rapidly rotating kaleidoscope.

Even so, it took Earl Goff a full ten minutes to finish reading all the memories related to Patrick. After that, he fell into a long silence.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Wonder Woman asked with concern.

"I know why they do all this." Lin You raised his staff, and the golden snake bit Voldemort's shoulder and dragged him down, pressing him firmly to the ground; the powerful mental control power of the Ophiuchus microcosm suppressed the inverted man's consciousness, and also helped to reduce some of his companions' burden.

Wonder Woman asked, "Is it related to the 'unknown'?"

“Yes and no.” Lin You recalled everything he had just “seen” with mixed feelings. “The ‘unknown’ is just a means. Their ultimate goal is to awaken the will of the greater world by creating more ‘unknown’ events with more far-reaching impacts.”

Wonder Woman's face slightly changed, and she seemed a little confused: "As far as I know, the true gods of the big world are not very happy to see the will of the big world awaken?"

"You know a lot?" Lin You was a little surprised; given Wonder Woman's level, she shouldn't have been able to see through the truth of the world, but now she even knows the hidden thoughts of the true gods.

What exactly happened in the forbidden area that was blocked by the "Sand of Time" for a hundred years?
It was not until she faced Lin You’s questioning gaze that the Amazon princess seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She pursed her lips and changed the subject a little awkwardly: “Then what? I mean, they want to awaken the will of the great world, so what is the specific plan?”

As she said these words, her cheeks flushed red, and she looked like she was trying to hide something, which only made it more obvious; and her tone was deliberately stiff when she tried to change the subject, all of which made her look like a child - must be the kind of child who has never been good at lying - who is panicked when her lies are exposed.

But how to put it? Wonder Woman's performance is closer to a child's mischievous prank that fails, rather than a conspiracy being exposed; if Lin You were to describe it in a purely subjective way, it would be "there is no sense of danger in it."

It makes people curious, but I feel there is no need to delve deeper into it.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of the memories of the previous real dimension that causes the filter for the character of Wonder Woman to be too thick.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Earl Goff turned his attention back to the matters at hand.

"The specific plan is to let the Upside Down Man control Voldemort, and constantly rewrite the plot in the name of the ultimate boss in the original story, and introduce the story of Harry Potter into a completely different story line." Lin You paused, looking at Voldemort's body with a mocking look, "At least, in the Upside Down Man's cognition, this is their plan."

Wonder Woman suddenly realized: "From your tone, I know that the development of things is not in the plan that the Upside Down People know, right?"

"According to the original plan, you and I shouldn't be here; at least not so soon." Lin You sneered twice, "Patrick Morgan promised Him that he would warn Him in time if there was any external help involved, and would intercept us if necessary, at least one of us. But the result is that the Upside Down Man has suffered a great defeat and has not received any reinforcements."

"Was He betrayed, or was Patrick Morgan held up by something else? It's possible that the true gods of Olympus intervened," Wonder Woman speculated.

Lin You shook his head: "No, according to their predetermined plan, the one responsible for intercepting us is not Patrick Morgan, but other people, or other gods."

"Who?"

"I don't know. I don't remember it." Lin You sighed. "Either the inverted people are too stupid and believe whatever others say without verifying it. Or... those people or gods are extremely powerful and can erase their names and appearances from other people's memories."

Wonder Woman frowned, "That's at least a true god, and the main god of a powerful pantheon."

"Maybe he's the God King?" Lin You added jokingly, but there was no trace of smile between his brows.

It is not difficult for gods to hide their names, appearances, or other conceptual existences; didn't Voldemort cast a spell on his own name and curse his teaching position at Hogwarts?

Compared to the Dark Lord's curse which can only work on humans, the methods of the gods are naturally more advanced; let alone just a wisp of remnant consciousness, even if the inverted human body is here, it is not surprising that the memory is disturbed.

As long as they are willing, gods can hide their existence from other people or gods; this "hidden state" may not last long, but it is often very stable before it loses its effect.

Wonder Woman sighed for a moment, and quickly returned to the topic that had been diverted before: "The most critical question now is why do they want to speed up the awakening of the will of the great world?"

　On this wonderful festival celebrated by the whole world, I solemnly declare that today is the last update of this book.
