Seeing that Voldemort and Andy had already reached a secret agreent, Snape's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly retreated to the corner of the hall.
He didn't know if Dumbledore still had any tricks up his sleeve, but the situation had undoubtedly deteriorated to the worst.
If Grindelwald, who made a coback, were added to the picture as well, the wizarding world would be plunged into darkness for a long ti.
Today's defeat seed inevitable!
Then a realisation seed to dawn on Snape, and his heavy heart began to lighten.
Dumbledore still has the Phoenix.
If the Phoenix helps, they can get out of here.
***
On the other hand, neither Andy nor Voldemort paid any attention to Snape.
He is just a minor character.
Snape will be at their rcy as long as Dumbledore is dead.
Compared to an insignificant person like Snape, the two had more important things to discuss.
Andy wanted to know what it felt like to split a soul.
Voldemort wanted to cooperate with Andy.
In this situation, the two soon started to exchange ideas about magic without any regard for others.
Andy had to admit that Voldemort's mastery of dark magic truly surpassed almost everyone in the wizarding world.
Voldemort wasn't just bragging.
Dumbledore had personally admitted it.
After a short exchange with Voldemort, even Andy had to admit that no one could have possibly surpassed him in the field of dark magic.
Just a short exchange had already provided Andy with a great deal of insight.
The soul is truly an uncharted and fascinating mystery.
Andy had only briefly skimd the surface when it ca to the soul.
But one thing was undeniable:
The soul is the base of eternity!
Whether it is a ghost lingering in the world or a soul entering the dinsion of death, in a sense, they are all eternal.
More than ten years ago, despite being hit by a rebound killing curse, Voldemort was able to avoid 'death' thanks to the existence of the Horcrux.
Before this, Andy had been focusing on the study of the mind.
Nevertheless, Andy was also eager to learn about the soul.
Splitting a soul... would certainly inflict pain that reaches deep into the soul.
But such pain is only a superficial issue.
Not to ntion splitting a soul; even tearing a small piece of skin will be unbearable for many people.
What Andy cares about is the real feeling when a soul is split.
According to Voldemort, when you split a soul, you will feel a very wonderful sensation, as if there is an additional you in the world.
You can clearly feel that it is still you, but there is a slight difference.
In Voldemort's view, the human body is just a shell, and only the soul is the real self.
He believed that magic originated from the soul.
However, a soul alone could not control magic.
Only when the soul and body are combined, the power of the mind be born, and then you can control magic and use it to cast spells.
Andy agreed with the latter.
But the forr...
Andy believed that magic originated from life.
It was true that after the body died, the soul would still possess magic. However, without the mind, the soul would lose the ability to control magic.
But in Andy's opinion, the soul also stems from life.
The blastulation and gastrulation of living beings is a truly miraculous process!
A stem cell could change into many things.
Our consciousness is born from the collective huge body of cells and commands and controls the body, like an ant queen and the colony.
There is no denying that the soul is really special.
The dinsion of death has been recycling human souls for a long ti. Andy doesn't know what kind of place that world is, but from a conspiracy theory point of view, there must be a big conspiracy behind it.
It's just that the dinsion of death has existed for so long that many people have beco accustod to it.
Habit is a very scary thing.
It can even change people's perceptions.
Andy even suspected that the human world had always been under the control of so unknown force.
This force had existed for a long ti.
So long that people had already ignored its existence.
When he thought of the locked room in the Departnt of Mysteries... Andy suspected that people in ancient tis had already confronted 'Him' before.
Andy's eyes twitched slightly.
There were roughly five ways to unravel these secrets.
First, love.
Second, the dinsion of death.
Third, the soul.
Fourth, Dumbledore.
Fifth, the Departnt of Mysteries.
Andy constantly had the feeling that Dumbledore might know part of the truth.
There was sothing off about the old man.
Many people trusted Dumbledore, and just by being there, he gave people a sense of security.
So even felt that Dumbledore could handle anything.
To be honest, Andy felt the sa way.
Even today, Andy still believes that this feeling is not unfounded.
A person's deanour cos from within.
Dumbledore may have really experienced sothing that caused him to give off such a feeling.
Thinking about this, Andy glanced up at Voldemort.
What a pity.
Voldemort really is exceptionally talented, but he must die here today.
If he had to choose between Voldemort and Dumbledore, he would choose Dumbledore—the old man had too many secrets.
"Collins..."
Seeing Andy's gaze, Voldemort grinned and said in a bewitching tone, "After we get rid of Dumbledore, I will share the secret of immortality with you."
"You should already understand the wonder of the soul."
"Indeed." Andy nodded slightly.
After talking with Voldemort, Andy had a better understanding of the soul.
Eternal life...it can only be accessed through the soul.
The body will decay, but the soul will not.
There is just one thing: Andy is different from Voldemort and different from everyone else.
Andy has already completed the fusion of his mind and magic.
No matter where the magic cos from, it is now stored in Andy's mind.
'Maybe I can take a different path.'
– Eternity through the mind!
Andy contemplated.
"But unfortunately..."
Andy continued, "Just as I have said before, I still believe this:
If a person is missing even one finger, they will find it difficult to do many things, let alone if they are missing a part of their soul."
"Splitting the soul and creating a Horcrux… will never allow you to fully reach the limits of magic."
"This is not what I want!"
Voldemort's face beca gloomy.
He was a little unable to understand.
Today was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Dumbledore, so why was Andy so indifferent?
Did Andy not want to be the Dark Lord anymore?
Just as he was about to say sothing, Voldemort suddenly fell into a trance, and his whole body felt unsteady. He held onto the table to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
Creak—
The door to the hall was pushed open.
Dumbledore and Harry walked in one after the other.
"Tom, this is the end," Dumbledore said in a heavy tone.
"Dumbledore..." Snape hurriedly walked up to him to inform him.
Dumbledore waved his hand to stop Snape.
In Dumbledore's opinion, Andy might discuss magic with Voldemort, but he would never cooperate with him.
If Andy were given a choice between 'cooperating with Voldemort' and 'killing Voldemort', Dumbledore believed that Andy would definitely choose the latter.
Killing Voldemort was so simple.
Cooperating with Voldemort was a waste of ti and would delay Andy's study of magic.
"Dumbledore!"
Voldemort growled, leaning on the table, his scarlet eyes fixed on Dumbledore.
