Chapter 13: The Dark Resurrection

As the brilliant light of Doctor Mystic's attack dissipated, the Forbidden Forest lay in ruins, the ground scorched by the forces unleashed during the brothers' cataclysmic battle. But despite Eamon's victory, the truth became evident: Tom Riddle, once Vladimir, had not been defeated. The darkness that consumed him was not so easily destroyed.

In the depths of the crumbled forest, Tom lay, seemingly dead. But the power of Saruman's dark magic and the ancient magic of the One Ring coursed through him, keeping him tethered to life. The dark forces of the multiverse would not let him rest, and the remnants of Tom Riddle's soul began to rebuild itself. Slowly, painfully, he rose from the ashes, stronger than before—more determined and more dangerous.

He would not be defeated so easily.

Over the next several years, Tom would regroup. The Dark Lord was reborn, and with the help of his dark magic, he resurrected his Death Eaters and created new, twisted alliances with the remnants of ancient magical orders, including followers of Saruman who sought power in the shadows. He built an army, one capable of not just taking over Britain but all of Europe and beyond. His power grew daily as he tapped deeper into the ancient forces, unlocking forbidden spells, and strengthening his hold on reality itself.

Tom's army was a mix of the undead, dark creatures, and corrupted wizards who had abandoned their morality for the sake of power. He even forged new alliances with creatures from beyond this realm, drawing on dark elemental magic and the chaos inherent in the multiverse. His power was a twisted echo of what it once was—but now, it was unstoppable.
