Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme - Chapter 368
c367 the last enemy
Brian nodded, and then continued on the original topic: “So, what happened next? Why was there me?”
Black Crow looked deeply at Brian and said softly: “I found in despair that I can’t bring myself back to life, but I am not willing to do so. Fortunately, this world of death has all possibilities.”
“The three Deathly Hallows allowed me to preserve a certain amount of power when I returned in ghost form, but that had no effect. The ghost state cannot increase my magic power, and it doesn’t help at all.”
“I originally wanted to train a wizard, let him reach the legendary level, and then use the resurrection spell to resurrect myself.” Black Crow said, “But, I soon found that that was not realistic. It is so difficult to reach the legendary level, even if it takes thousands of years. For a long time, there have been only two people, the God of Death and Merlin, and they are both guys who have escaped death once… Moreover, even if you try your best to train one, there is no guarantee that that person will resurrect me as expected.”
Brian nodded.
“So, I thought, since Merlin can go back to the past, then I can naturally go back to the past through this world of death. In that case, why not cultivate myself?” Black Crow’s eyes looked at Brian darkly, ” Even if my past has changed, that person is still me and has the most profound connection with me…”
“It is better to hold your hope in your own hands than to give it to others.”
Brian suddenly looked at Black Crow, his expression a little uncertain.
“So I came to the time when I, or you, were born,” Black Crow looked at Brian, as if he was tasting his proud work, “I created the so-called system. Its function is to deepen our connection and allow me to I won’t disappear after the future that belongs to me collapses…”
“At the same time, the system can also get in touch with me through the witness points you obtained, so that our strength and experience can be exchanged.” Black Crow said with a smile, “Every time you use the system to improve yourself, you are slowly inheriting mine. Power. With the limitations of the witness point, under my remote control, you can gradually unlock the power, so that your fragile body will not be unable to withstand the suddenly powerful power.”
“Of course, the height I am at is the height that the system can reach. My wandless spellcasting has not reached the master level, so you can’t achieve it by using the system. I don’t know prophecy, so the prophecy on the system cannot be improved. Facts have proved , we have never had the gift of prophecy.”
“Then why do you still put the prophecy column on the system?” Brian’s brows moved. The prophecy skills on the system made him worried.
“It’s just for the sake of rigor. It’s a matter of attitude.” Black Crow said seriously.
“Then you put your two inadequate abilities, Occlumency and Legilimency, out in the open, just for the sake of rigor?” Brian scoffed.
“That’s just to see if you can find the problem.” Black Crow smiled jokingly.
“But why the witness system?” Brian asked.
The teasing smile on the corner of Black Crow’s mouth widened, and he suddenly laughed wildly: “Because it’s fun, haha… Of course I can set up a simple system that gradually unblocks as the age increases, but that would be boring. Look at it ‘I’ had to rack my brains to participate in the plot and create interesting sparks for the sake of witnessing points, but the only adjustment I had in this world was.”
Brian looked at Black Crow quietly, and after he finished laughing, he said: “You are really like the God of Death, just as bad.”
“Then why did you seal off my memories when I was born? If you were to raise me, wouldn’t it be more advantageous to start with my memories?”
“It’s not easy to escape death, Brian.” Black Crow squinted his eyes and said, “I existed before. Even if that future was destroyed by my own hands, there are still traces. I had a hunch at that time that your life would be like that. Being called by death earlier, you have far less time than I imagined. It turns out that it is indeed the case, you dreamed of death in the first grade…”
“In order to give you more time to grow, I have sealed your memory. This memory from another world will only accelerate the world’s rejection. I set you to awaken your memory on the day you enter school. That’s when your magic power will grow at a high speed. In the long term, the body’s tolerance is also stronger.”
“I see.” Brian suddenly said, “So, have you tampered with my memory or personality?”
Black Crow raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Brian with interest and said, “Only a little bit. I just gave you a little more obsession with obtaining witness points.”
Brian’s brows moved, and then he realized: “No wonder I was always doing everything possible to obtain witness points at that time, even if it was against my own will… I thought it was my obsession with becoming stronger, but I didn’t expect you to do it. Because of the hands and feet.”
Black Crow looked at him noncommittally, and commented leisurely and elegantly: “Now it seems that my decision was wise. You have broken through the legendary level as I expected, and I am gratified.”
“So, your purpose is to let me help you resurrect?” Brian was silent for a moment and then said.
“Do you think it’s possible?” Black Crow narrowed his eyes and asked, “Although I can preserve my body in this place with infinite possibilities, the future that actually belongs to me has collapsed. In the original world, I didn’t exist. A ghost is worse than a ghost. You are the only one who exists in the world. Without me, we are one person, but completely different, contradictory and exclusive to each other.”
Brian nodded in agreement and said, “But I believe you are not doing useless work.”
“Yes, there are infinite possibilities in this world of death, and there are also encounters between you and me that would have been impossible.” Black Crow smiled confidently, “Our destinies are intertwined, so…”
“You and I cannot exist at the same time. Only one of us can live.” Black Crow’s expression became indifferent, “As long as I kill you here, I can replace you and complete rebirth!”
“That’s right…” Brian said softly, as if he had finally waited for the final judgment, but finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Then, if you succeed, will the world become what you are in?”
“Who knows? Maybe I just returned to your world, or maybe the future that belongs to me covers the existing world with my return… If you haven’t experienced it, you can’t know.” Black Crow said coldly.
“Then, it’s impossible for me to let you come back in my place.” Brian slowly raised the Elder Wand in his hand, “You are too dangerous like this.”
“How heartless, Brian. It’s obvious that I gave you everything, stole this life from you, gave you the meaning of existence… but you didn’t express your gratitude to me, and even pointed the wand at me.” Black Crow also raised his wand.
“I’m grateful for everything you’ve done, but I have to be responsible for the world I live in, and I have a reason to live.” Brian said softly.
“But do you think you can beat me?” Black Crow looked at him with contempt and arrogance, “The connection of the system not only allows you to obtain my power, but also allows me to obtain your power. In other words, when If you become a legend, I will also become a legend.”
“Same magic power, but your experience is far inferior to mine, and your knowledge is even less worth mentioning… Why do you defeat me? Love?” Black Crow smiled proudly and wildly, “I will do a good job for you. Stay alive, Brian.”
“No matter what, you won’t know until you fight.” Brian’s expression was extremely determined.
He looked at the black crow and said, “Last question, why do you have to tell me so much?”
“You are me, Brian.” Black Crow stared into Brian’s eyes, “I don’t want you to disappear with confusion. That would be a very bad feeling, right?”
“Yes,” Brian sighed deeply, “Although we have both become the kind of people who hate each other the most, I still want to thank you for leaving me the last bit of tenderness.”
“The last enemy is yourself, it’s true.”
