023 The Dark Lord!
The battle at the Department of Mysteries was exposed.
With such a commotion, the Ministry of Magic in London was bound to notice.
When Fudge arrived with several teams of Aurors, they too saw the holy angel as if it had stepped out of mythology!
The scene was so shocking, it struck everyone to their core!
Two elderly wizards even knelt on the spot, eyes filled with fanaticism.
Due to the sheer number of witnesses, Fudge couldn't keep this news hidden.
More explosive news followed.
It was revealed that Luna had summoned the angel, easily killing hundreds of Dementors and destroying five Death Eaters with a single spell.
At first, the British wizarding world didn't believe it.
But after Dumbledore disappeared, Death Eaters ambushed Luna in Hogsmeade, attacking her.
When the Killing Curse hit her, a holy angel with white wings manifested, protecting her.
Luna then used a holy version of a spell to defeat over ten Death Eaters effortlessly.
Only a few managed to flee early.
This caused a huge uproar!
Many wizards witnessed the battle, and the holy angel was even captured on magical cameras.
Now, not only England but the entire wizarding world was unsettled.
Trelawney's prophecy had begun to come true!
Many speculated that Luna was the prophesied spirit, chosen by the divine in this world!
Wizards from all over the world flocked to Hogsmeade, some wanting to see the angel with their own eyes, others becoming devout believers!
They believed the last two lines of the prophecy would also come true!
The divine will come, kill the Dark Lord, and save the corrupt wizarding world!
Believers would naturally receive the divine's favor and be reborn!

**Marvel World.**
On a beach, Balder, lying on a deck chair like a tourist, smiled slightly.
Besides Luna, who had been granted divine power and became a divine follower, he could already sense hundreds of new believers in the HP world.
And the number kept growing.
This was the power of the 'prophecy' in the Harry Potter world!
As Trelawney's prophecy began to unfold, many wizards would believe that destiny would lead to this outcome and naturally believe in the eventual arrival of the divine.
This was all part of Balder's plan.
When the system created the world portal, Trelawney was making a prophecy.
Although she was favored by fate and could see parts of the future, prophesying a dimensional god was beyond her.
Normally, Balder couldn't directly influence people in the Harry Potter world, but she happened to 'look' his way.
So, he subtly influenced her, letting Trelawney see the future he wanted.
And it worked.
The arrival of the divine envoy and shadow referred to Hela and Loki.
Reviving the dead and showcasing miracles just happened to be with Cedric. If not him, someone else.
Luna was his predetermined divine follower, and Loki made sure nothing went wrong.
The two demons were Voldemort and Grindelwald.
It couldn't just be Tom Riddle alone causing despair in the wizarding world.
The key given to Lucius by Hela would make these two the final bosses.
Dumbledore, seen as the protector by wizards, also had to be removed, so all hope would rest on Luna.
"It won't be long before I can descend."
Even as a dimensional god, Balder was excited.
The HP world was relatively small, only needing two divine followers.
With Luna in place, the second would be much easier.

**Nurmengard.**
In the tower on the isolated island, Grindelwald stared out the window, lost in thought, the dark rainy night reminiscent of that fateful night.
A few days ago, the guard bringing him food mentioned Dumbledore had disappeared, and he might be transferred to Azkaban.
But the old man wasn't worried about his grim future; he was worried about his 'friend.'
Would that guy die before him? If so, how ironic.
**Boom!**
A lightning bolt split the dark clouds, and Grindelwald jumped to his feet!
His eyes were locked on the figure outside the window, the old man suddenly exuding a powerful aura!
He saw a person!
A woman, floating in mid-air without a trace of magical aura!
But that alone wouldn't make him react this way!
It was what she held in her hand!
A dragon's head!
The head of a Norwegian Ridgeback, its neck oozing blood mixed with rain!
The massive slit eyes, illuminated by the lightning, reflected pure terror!
Clearly, this dragon had experienced extreme fear before death.
An overwhelming pressure filled the air, like the Grim Reaper descending!
Grindelwald's throat felt parched.
He who nearly set Paris ablaze, who almost conquered the wizarding world!
Yet now he didn't dare breathe!
**Boom!**
Another loud noise, but not thunder!
The tower's roof was torn off, rain soaking him, jolting Grindelwald out of the oppressive trance, gasping for air.
"Who are you? Where are the guards?"
His body old and frail, he struggled to speak, barely holding himself up.
Hela stared at Grindelwald for a few seconds, then spoke:
"Your will is decent, far better than that weakling Voldemort."
"This is your reward."
As she spoke, Grindelwald watched in horror as the dragon's blood defied gravity, forming a ribbon and wrapping around him.
Instantly, excruciating pain burned him!
His screams echoed across the island.
Who knew how long it took, but the brown blood cocoon suddenly shattered, and a strong arm emerged.
Seconds later, a young man climbed out!
Feeling the abundant magic and vitality in his body, Grindelwald wasn't excited.
As the once manipulative Dark Lord, he knew every gift from fate came with a price.
So...
He looked up at the woman in mid-air and asked:
"What do I need to do?"
Hela nodded slightly, her gaze commanding:
"Of course, burn yourself!"
