The sea was calm and the slightly chilly sea breeze blew up the black hair on Jon's forehead.
The direct cause of so many changes in this world is certainly Voldemort.
It's precisely because he has undergone such a big change, becoming sane, wise and powerful, it leads to all the present-day developnts.
So investigating clearly why Voldemort has undergone such a big change is not only to figure out the causes and consequences but also to plan how to defeat the vilest dark lord from ancient tis to the present.
If you want to defeat the enemy, it is necessary to understand the enemy first.
And Dumbledore in all these years is obviously not unproductive, he has not given up on investigating Voldemort's past, the sailing this ti, ans that he already got so results.
Now Jon and co. eting Nick is to obtain the fruit of this work.
"That's right, Dumbledore found that year and asked to help him, is about this." Nick's gaze was grave.
"Dumbledore never gave up on investigating the Dark Lord's past, especially after Hogwarts Castle was completely taken over. He personally visited many places and ca up with a very crucial answer - Voldemort, he once gained the power of immortality!"
Jon listened to Nick's words, and his face didn't show much of a shocked look.
He knew what this so-called power of immortality would be, the Horcrux was a project that Voldemort had started when he was still a student with the na Tom Riddle, for immortality.
Voldemort feared death.
When he had just learned about becoming a wizard and was intimidated by the magic shown by Dumbledore, he had beco fascinated by such a miraculous and powerful power.
But soon, like a sponge, he kept absorbing knowledge and realized that magic, even if it is powerful, it has no way to let people escape death.
This was very incomprehensible to Voldemort.
He then got to know the existence of the Philosopher's stone and Nicolas Flal, but he disdained this false immortality, believing that this kind of immortality, which relies on external objects, is not a victory over death at all, but lingering under the oppression of death, once he lost the Philosopher's stone, then Nicolas Flal would certainly die.
So he began to look for immortality that could be mastered by himself and that belonged entirely to the individual, which no one could snatch away.
After continuous searching and research, finally he found a magic - Horcrux!
With the most devious slaughter, one could split one's soul, and the split part could be anchored on an object or living thing to form a Horcrux.
As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, then the person who made the Horcrux will live forever.
This is perfectly in line with Voldemort's requirents, although the Horcrux is an independent artefact, what is embedded in this object is his own soul, so it naturally belongs to his own power, in his eyes this form of immortality is stronger than using Elixir of Life that was produced by Philosopher's stone to achieve false immortality, which is not known how many tis it is possible to use.
Subsequently, it was revealed in the original book, that Voldemort used Slughorn's appreciation to get information about the Horcruxes from him, then found all the information about this magic in Hogwarts library, and with the help of the Basilisk released from the chamber of the secret back then, he killed Myrtle, and made his diary into his first Horcrux!
Since this Horcrux was made, Voldemort in fact is equivalent to having mastered the power of immortality.
But after that, he did not stop his actions.
A Horcrux simply can not satisfy him, after all, as long as the diary is destroyed, he still has the possibility of death, more importantly, Voldemort has always believed that "7" is a very magical number.
He wanted to make seven Horcrux, to fulfil his own selfish desires at the sa ti so that his eternal life is guaranteed to be more perfect.
He is also very ambitious and prideful, he has very high requirents for each item that can beco his Horcrux, so his plan to split his soul and make Horcrux has always been in order.
This is the reason why the original Voldemort could not be killed directly, as long as not all of his Horcruxes were destroyed, then he will always be able to resurrect, such a resurrection will not even have any loss of his own strength.
But now it's all changed.
When Jon sneaked into the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts Castle and saw the four Hogwarts founders' relics on that desk, he guessed that the Horcruxes were likely to have beco a thing of the past.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed such valuable things in one place, or a place that his own enemies would try to enter by any ans possible.
"That power of immortality has made him exceptionally powerful, and even if soone in the magical world is truly stronger than him, there is no way to defeat him. But although he is unlikely to be killed, such a powerful force is not without any flaws."
Nick said seriously.
"According to Dumbledore's investigation, he is using killing to split his soul to achieve his immortality, but the soul has always been the most fundantal consciousness of a person, and for wizards who rely on their 'will' to power their magic, it is the key of keys."
"The dark lord split his soul without restraint, and the constant killing made the raging madness consu himself, which made his dark magic more powerful, but also made him completely lose his reason."
"Those who followed him at the beginning were actually all attracted by his charisma and ambitious ideals, after all, at the beginning he did not have such a powerful power and was still a nobody in the whole magical world."
"And after losing his sanity, he beca even more terrifying, like a madman who only destroys, and also made more people unable to accept his existence."
"Before splitting his soul, he called the people gathered around him 'friends', but later his 'friends' all beca his slaves, and he stood high above them as the lord."
"The entire magical world knew that there would be no future in following a madman, and even among those around the Dark Lord, fewer and fewer were truly loyal to him; the vast majority were simply opportunists who were trying to borrow the Dark Lord's na to help themselves gain benefits."
"So at that ti, even though he was so horrible that everyone dared not ntion his na, he was not yet able to have the ability to defeat Dumbledore and control the entire British magical community."
"It's just, in one night, all of this changed."
Nick's voice suddenly beca extraordinarily low, and Jon held his breath.
"A prophecy, uttered by a descendant of the Trelawney family, appeared. She told Dumbledore that there would be a child who would beco the Dark Lord's arch-enemy, and the one who would survive!"
