Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Anduin, who returned to the ranch from Gaunt's old house, couldn't wait to come to the research room, and then carefully poured the ring onto the workbench.

Just when Anduin was about to study it, a whisper suddenly came from his ears. The voice was full of confusion, like an insect trying to crawl into his brain along his ears.

But Anduin, who had extremely strong willpower, quickly discovered the anomaly, and immediately mobilized his magic power to activate Occlumency to seal his mind.

"Strange, my perception just now was definitely not wrong. This ring did produce a force that tried to interfere with my consciousness, and it was full of malice. Is this thing alive?" Anduin frowned and his eyes became much more solemn.

.

Anduin is also well-informed, so even though he encountered such strange things, he didn't feel too nervous, but he became more and more curious about the ring.

Fortunately, after blocking his mind, he finally blocked the influence emanating from the ring, but the malice from the ring did not diminish, and he could even detect a prying gaze.

"Voldemort?"

Anduin seemed to have thought of something, and then he used a voice full of magic to test.

After hearing his question, the ring suddenly vibrated violently with a 'buzz' sound, and along with the vibration were layers of transparent fluctuations. The magic fluctuations turned into solid radiation, heading towards Anduin.

Keep pressing.

But unfortunately, Anduin's Occlumency propped up a solid thick wall on the surface of his mind. Even though the ring tried its best, it still couldn't affect him at all.

"So that's it, it's a Horcrux..."

After seeing the ring's reaction, Anduin nodded clearly. He had felt that the malice and magic radiating from the ring were very familiar, very similar to what he sensed from Voldemort's soul.

But that's just a similarity. Anduin can still tell the difference. The ring attached to this ring is not the soul of Voldemort that he once captured. It should be just a split soul of his.

Anduin is no stranger to dark magic items such as 'Horcruxes'. There are a lot of records in the information collected from the Phoenix and Silver Spear headquarters.

Therefore, after a simple identification, Anduin recognized that the essence of the ring should be a Horcrux, or one of the Horcruxes.

"It turns out that this is the truth about Voldemort's immortality and soul's immortality. It's really not unexpected at all."

Anduin smiled mockingly, and then clarified the causes and consequences of Voldemort's suicide.

Splitting the soul and attaching it to items to create Horcruxes is a rather crude method of immortality. The reason why Anduin calls it 'immortality' rather than 'immortality' is mainly because it has many disadvantages.

First of all, to make a Horcrux, the soul must be split, and this split is almost irreversible. This alone is much cruder than the 'Three Purities Curse', a magic that can bring the split soul back.

And splitting the soul is also equivalent to splitting the consciousness, which will make the wizard no longer complete, and at the same time, it is easy for people to develop serious mental problems.

Secondly, judging from the records obtained in Phoenix and Silver Spear, making souls into Horcruxes cannot truly achieve immortality.

Because the Horcrux itself will gradually be damaged over time, but this time is not short for ordinary people. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least a thousand years.

But this also means that Horcruxes are not the same as eternal life!

However, although Horcruxes have such disadvantages, their abilities are still quite powerful. First of all, as long as there is still a Horcrux in this world, it can ensure the immortality of the main consciousness and soul, just like Voldemort.

And if the main consciousness actively seeks destruction, it will return to other Horcruxes. If there is more than one Horcrux, it will basically return in the order in which the Horcruxes were made.

"In other words, the current Voldemort should be inside the first Horcrux he made." Anduin nodded clearly, and then glanced at the ring, "Then which number is this ring?

?How many Horcruxes have you made?"

"Forget it, let's suppress the consciousness in this Horcrux first and study it slowly after the curse is clear. I don't know if we can find other clues along it."

After making up his mind, Anduin took out his wand and shook his head mockingly, "I didn't expect to lose a Voldemort soul, and now you have sent me another one. It seems that you still can't escape the fate of being studied by me."

After saying that, Anduin leisurely stretched out his wand and pointed at the ring, and the ring seemed to notice his actions, and the vibrating frequency became faster and faster. It was not clear whether it was expressing fear or anger.

But Anduin would not pay attention to this. After aiming at the ring, the tip of the wand immediately lit up a stream of silver plasma as thick as syrup and shot straight towards the ring.

[Wild Thunder] After hitting the target, it immediately squeezed, wrapped, and shocked the inside of the ring as if it were alive. Suddenly, bursts of shrill screams could be heard from the ring, which could almost penetrate the soul, shaking the equipment in the laboratory.

of constant trembling.

But the Horcrux's struggle was obviously fruitless. After all, even Voldemort's own soul could not stop the wild thunder controlled by Anduin. The current wild thunder also had the effect of being close to life and suppressing the spirit body.

After nearly a minute, the Horcrux, which was continuously penetrated by the current, finally returned to calm. The soul possessed by it was now tightly sealed inside the ring by a cage composed of wild thunder.

The reason why Anduin went to such great lengths to seal his consciousness instead of extracting it was mainly because of the special characteristics of the Horcrux itself.

After being made into a Horcrux, the soul inside is almost completely integrated with the object. It is very difficult to separate it. Therefore, when facing a Horcrux, you must either completely destroy it, or you can only control the soul inside it.

Consciousness, do not let it continue to cast evil thoughts to interfere with yourself.

After getting rid of the troublesome mental interference caused by the Horcrux, Anduin sat back on the test bench, patiently observing, testing, and removing the powerful curse attached to it.

After careful observation, Anduin discovered that the curse Voldemort had enchanted the ring with was quite aggressive, almost anyone would be hit by it if he touched it, and it was very destructive to wizards. Even he himself would be infected by it accidentally.

It will also be very troublesome.

"Well, considering the complexity of this curse, the complete Voldemort is not weak. It seems that we need to be more careful with this guy. If he really succeeds in resurrecting him, he might cause big trouble."

"Please really die, Voldemort..."

Anduin sighed quietly, then pointed his wand at the ring again, and cast a faint magical thread, removing the curse bit by bit.

After nearly an hour of hard work, he was able to get rid of the curse. Then Anduin picked up the ring, placed it in his hand and observed it carefully.

"Huh? The Resurrection Stone doesn't seem to be imbued with Voldemort's soul. Is this because the sacred object instinctively rejects the invasion of foreign objects?"

After some observation, Anduin discovered that the diamond-shaped stone was not part of the Horcrux. After realizing this, he separated it without any hesitation.

After taking out the body of the Resurrection Stone, Anduin temporarily stored the ring body as the Horcrux. He was obviously more interested in the Holy Artifact of the Resurrection Stone than the Horcrux.

"It is said that the Resurrection Stone has the ability to bring people back to life, but I don't know if it is true or not."

Feeling the smooth feeling when his fingertips rubbed the Resurrection Stone, Anduin slowly input his magic power into it.

Immediately afterwards, Anduin found several familiar but somewhat unfamiliar figures around him. They were members of the Order of the Phoenix such as Lily, James, and brothers Gideon and Fabian Prewett who had died long ago.

.

After seeing the other party's physical figure, Anduin couldn't help but be shocked, and then he couldn't help but shout softly, "Lily?"

But after hearing his call, Lily who was not far away did not make any response, but just looked at him with a smile on her face.

This made Anduin feel that the two people seemed to be very close, but also very far away. At the same time, the figure in front of him could not completely overlap with the Lily in his memory.

"Why……"

Anduin sighed regretfully, and then his eyes became clear again, "Sure enough, there is no such thing as resurrection from the dead in this world, everything is just an illusion."

"But..." Anduin focused his attention on Lily's body again, "Looking at this state, it doesn't seem to be a complete illusion."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand up, slowly leaned towards those figures, and tried to touch them.

But as he gradually approached, those figures seemed to follow a certain procedure, always keeping a distance from him, making people feel that the other person seemed to be beside him, but they could never really get close to them.

"Why don't you even touch it? How stingy..." Anduin complained speechlessly, and then withdrew the magic power injected into the Resurrection Stone.

After all those figures disappeared, Anduin returned to the console, mobilized various equipment in the laboratory, and conducted a comprehensive test on the resurrection stone.

In the simple contact just now, Anduin discovered that those embodied figures were a substance that was more real than souls and more illusory than entities. Although they could not be truly touched, they did have a trace of them.

The breath of death and soul.

In other words, they cannot be completely described as illusions. Anyway, they are not the kind of illusions that are generated by influencing thinking.

But after a period of comprehensive inspection, Anduin couldn't help but frown.

Because the internal structure of this resurrection stone is too complicated, it cannot be understood in a short time.

However, after a short observation, Anduin still found some clues.

"This Resurrection Stone...why does it look so much like part of an item?" Anduin raised his hand to rub his chin and muttered as he looked at the diamond-shaped stone under the detection instrument.

"And as of now, it seems that the Resurrection Stone at least contains the magic words of 'thinking', 'memory', 'death' and 'soul'. At the same time, it can transform magic power into extremely dense soul energy with unique characteristics.

, but this soul energy seems to be more than just for people to see the dead."

"It seems that this energy still needs to undergo some kind of processing, or the combination may be able to play its real role. This stone feels to me more like the core of a more complex alchemy tool, an energy transformation

Tool!"

After groping for a long time, Anduin came to a conclusion that surprised even him.

"But the legend of the Resurrection Stone has been around for a long time. What kind of props can make it become a part of it? That thing must have at least existed before the legend appeared. Can its previous appearance still be found or restored now?"

Anduin tilted his head in confusion, and then his eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Three Deathly Hallows themselves are props that can be assembled and used?"

Thinking of this, he felt that it made more and more sense. The legends of the three Deathly Hallows all came from the Tales of Beedle the Bard, and there was a certain connection between them.

Moreover, the story also says that whoever possesses these three holy weapons can become the master of Death.

This may be a hint that it can be combined!

Thinking of this, Anduin recalled the symbol representing the Deathly Hallows, a figure that looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

Could this figure itself indicate something? Judging from the symbol, the Resurrection Stone is indeed at the center, which coincides with Anduin's guess that it is the core.

But how do you combine a stone, a wand and an invisibility cloak?

There is really no clue based on just guessing. Anduin sighed helplessly, "Then if you want to continue research, you have to put the three sacred artifacts together."

"The invisibility cloak is with Harry. It's not difficult to ask him to borrow it for study. But the Elder Wand... that's Dumbledore's wand. Will he agree to lend it to me for study?"

"Perhaps we need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Dumbledore. It would be a good idea to develop it together with him." Anduin muttered a few words, then put away his thoughts and carefully put away the Resurrection Stone.

.

After finishing his search for the Resurrection Stone, Anduin took out the Horcrux ring again. Since he would not be able to figure out the Resurrection Stone for a while, it was better to torment Voldemort's soul first.

Thinking of this, Anduin didn't hesitate and simply started playing with the Horcrux in his hand.

He was not polite to this thing, and directly used high-intensity Legilimency, like a sharp dagger piercing into the soul in the ring.

"Ouch!!!"

Since there is no control over the body's consciousness, the split soul in the ring only retains some of Voldemort's subconsciousness and instincts, but the pain of trauma to the soul still makes it scream involuntarily.

But at this time, the remaining soul that had been split was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in Anduin's hands, unable to resist at all, and was allowed to be grasped by him.

Anduin also completely ignored the wail of the split soul, and just roughly let his consciousness go deep into it, grabbing the memories and information he needed.
