Chapter 358: Killing God and then depriving ‘it’ of ‘its’ power

After shopping, watching a film, and playing games ... a not-so-thrilling adventure treasure-hunting trip was over, and Andy had another relaxing and enjoyable day.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Andy lay on his bed and did a detailed review of the events of the day.

There wasn't much to say about the adventure, the Gaunt family's old mansion wasn't dangerous, the only danger there was Voldemort's Horcrux.

Voldemort cursed the ring using dark magic and masked the curse on the ring with magic that protected the Horcrux. But as long as the ring wasn't worn, the curse wouldn't be triggered.

So Andy had reason to suspect that the Horcrux was what Voldemort used as a trap for Dumbledore.

Just as Dumbledore knew Voldemort well, Voldemort likewise knew Dumbledore well.

Come to think of it, the two years after Voldemort's graduation coincided with the point in time when Dumbledore and Grindelwald were having a showdown - it should be very easy to pry into some of Dumbledore's secrets in that era.

What puzzled Andy was the stories Dumbledore told after he appeared, especially after Hermione gave the Resurrection Stone to Dumbledore.

Because Dumbledore didn't need to do that.

Moreover, Andy was more interested in the Deathly Hallows' abilities than the stories of Dumbledore's teenage years - but Dumbledore had only given them two ambiguous introductory sentences.

It seemed taboo!

"Forget it! No matter what his purpose is, as long as I don't respond to the trick, it'll be fine."

However, having said that; Andy didn't have much confidence.

It could be said that a human being could not control 'themselves' well.

And Dumbledore was the best at exploiting this!

'Well ... I'm afraid I can't refuse to make a move, I still have to go through a couple of moves with him.' Andy rearranged his thoughts.

This was the valuable experience that Andy had drawn through these two years of experience.

Putting down these thoughts for the time being, Andy focused his thoughts on the Deathly Hallows again.

'Arrogant, solitary, and pessimistic ...'

Although Andy did not quite agree with Dumbledore's philosophy, he did not dare to underestimate Dumbledore's wisdom. Since he said so, there must be some truth in it.

In particular, Andy's understanding of the Deathly Hallows was sorted in the order of Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and Invisibility Cloak. And this order, in turn, happened to be the order of the three Peverell brothers.

But Dumbledore switched the order of the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak.

Strength makes one arrogant, invisibility makes one solitary, and the illusion of the deceased makes one pessimistic ... These three correspond exactly to the abilities of the Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak, and the Resurrection Stone.

Andy hadn't thought anything of it at the time, but after coming back and reviewing the situation, it suddenly occurred to him.

Of course, this might be just Andy's wild imagination, or maybe it was just Dumbledore who felt it was smooth-flowing and said it that way.

But Andy didn't dare to ignore this.

There was no way; who made the person who said these words the greatest wizard of the twentieth century - Albus Dumbledore?

Why would Voldemort believe that bullshit prophecy?

It should be known that more than ten years ago, Sybill Trelawney, who made the prophecy, was just a down-and-out witch with little fame. Even today, she is at most a famous charlatan at Hogwarts.

The key is that Dumbledore believes that prophecy to be true.

Do you think Voldemort dared not believe it?

In the field of magic, even if Dumbledore just farted, you had to ponder whether there was something special about that fart.

Let alone a message related to the Deathly Hallows.

That's why riddlers are the most annoying!

'Death, power, stealth, illusion ...'

'Arrogance, solitude, pessimism ...'

Andy suddenly thought of a saying.

Many people who had come back from the dead had spoken about the phenomenon of seeing many people who were already dead. It was as if those people were waiting for them right in front to guide them to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Death possessed great power and was invisible, and 'He' would use illusions to guide the deceased to 'His' domain.

'Is that so?'

Andy frowned slightly.  

'If that legend is interpreted according to that, a person who owns three Deathly Hallows can become the master of the Death ... and the power of the Deathly Hallows is the power of the Death.'

'Did someone kill the Death? And made the Deathly Hallows from the Death's ability?'

God-killing!

Then stripping the god of its abilities!

This was a line of thought that Andy had never thought of before.

But when he thought about it, it was not impossible as well.

Dumbledore, as the ceiling of the wizarding world, could just as easily be killed by a Muggle with a dagger if he stood still.

So what reason would there be for a god of this world not to die?

If you don't count external forces, the power of a god is higher than that of a wizard, whose power in turn is higher than that of a muggle.

But the basic difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools.

'Well ...,' Andy mused for a moment.

God-killing ... was a bit unbelievable, but not impossible.

Especially if the Deathly Hallows were interpreted according to that lore.

The person who gets three Deathly Hallows can become the master of Death.

Dumbledore said that Death would never give such a vital thing to someone else. But ... what if Death didn't do it voluntarily?

Then god-killing is the only reasonable explanation.

'Maybe by getting the three Deathly Hallows, one would become the new Death, or be possessed by Death!' Andy thought.

And this was also the fundamental reason why the three Peverell brothers, were each holding a Deathly Hallow.

Also, the story back then was like this!

The three Peverell brothers defeated the Death, but the Death told them that 'He' represented death, so 'He' would never disappear.

So they stripped Death of his powers and made the three Deathly Hallows.

Death was arrogant because everyone feared 'Him'.

Death is solitary because all people want to stay away from 'Him'.

Death was pessimistic because 'He' had seen too much death.

'If the legend is not distorted, then this explanation makes the most sense.'

Andy thought in his mind, 'It looks like I'll have to check the timeline of this legend when school starts - when did it circulate?'

Andy took a book from his bedside table.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Andy flipped the collection of stories to the one called 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' and studied it carefully.

It was said that there were a thousand different shapes of clouds in the eyes of a thousand people.

Andy looked at the story with a new perspective and naturally had a different interpretation.

The three brothers were obstructed in their path by the river - it was death.

They used magic to create a bridge to cross the river - they overcame death.

Death rewarded them with Deathly Hallows - they stripped Death of its power.

As for the death of the three brothers, it could also be interpreted as Death's curse - there was no way God-slayer wouldn't pay some price.

Andy suddenly came up with an idea.

If one wore an Invisibility Cloak to take up the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor, would it be possible to avoid Voldemort's curse?
