Chapter 932 The body of a mortal, standing shoulder to shoulder with gods

liberty island,
Located in New York Harbor, it is a small island.

Although the island is small, it is extremely famous.

How famous is it?

There is a Far Eastern wizard——Lu·I said everything·Xun Geer, who wrote a poem to praise it:
Statue of Liberty Island, you and me under the statue, games in front of the statue, deals behind the statue.

That's right, the most famous thing on Liberty Island is the bronze art statue of the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty - the Statue of Liberty.

It was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartol and then given to the United States as a gift to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Revolutionary War.

Tonight, Liberty Island welcomed a lot of tourists, and the Muggle security personnel on the island were all "sick" and asked for leave.

This group of tourists also included William.

After getting the information from Picculina, he immediately got rid of him and brought Hermione here.

After a little inquiring, I know that there is a rally here tonight.

The location of the rally is inside the Statue of Liberty.

Walking among the large crowd, William and Hermione were inconspicuous.

The most eye-catching ones are those wizards wearing clothes with logos.

What is printed on their clothes is not a slogan or a badge, but a strange pattern:

A broken wand was clutched in one hand amidst blinding yellow and red flames.

- Logo of the Salem Society.

In the history of American magic, there have been many Salem organizations.

The earliest one can be traced back to the seventeenth century.

The purgers at the time, united with the Puritans, concocted the infamous Salem witch trials.

The trial of people accused of witchcraft resulted in the execution of 20 people, mostly girls.

It is precisely because of this incident that the establishment of the Magical Congress of the United States was prompted.

The Cleaners also united to form the so-called Salem Association to fight against the Magic Council.

This time span lasts more than a century.

The period was also filled with the War of Independence and the Civil War, all of which have shadows of wizard confrontation.

As the Scavengers were hit hard and went underground, the original Salem Association completely disappeared.

Second Salem emerged in the early twentieth century.

The original leader was scavenger scion and extremist Mary Lou Barebone.

Originally, this was an unpopular organization, and even the Magic Congress of the United States didn't want to deal with it.

But among Barebone's adopted orphans, there was a child named Credence... an accidental obscurity.

After Grindelwald found him, he also caused the Battle of New York, which almost exposed the entire American magical society.

Later, with Credence's death and Grindelwald's defeat, Second Salem was declared defeated.

Before the turn of the millennium, this organization revived again, and the so-called Third Salem emerged.

For more than a year, they have been holding rallies in an effort to expand their influence.

William and Hermione walked up the stairs and entered the interior of the Statue of Liberty.

Inside the Statue of Liberty, it could have been visited, but now it is enlarged by the Untraceable Stretching Curse, enough to accommodate more wizards.

The two walked down the narrow stairs and entered a circular room, and there was a shocking scene in front of them.

Hundreds of wizards and wizards gathered in one place, and the atmosphere was crowded and restless.

Some wizards were nervous but curious, others excited.

There was nothing in the hall, and no seating—just a podium against the opposite wall.

People were whispering, and the voices gathered together and hummed, revealing dullness and noise.

Finally, the crowd began to cheer.

When a 16-year-old young man stepped onto the podium, the wizards were ecstatic and burst into shouts.

William recognized the man immediately—16-year-old Tom Riddle.

Tom hasn't changed from four years ago.

Because he was resurrected from a Horcrux, he couldn't grow up, and his strength and appearance were completely frozen.

But his ability to confuse people's hearts has become more and more proficient.

Seeing Tom Riddle standing on the podium, part demagogue part part rock star, the frenzy of the audience escalated.

"Good evening, friends. My name is Osiris." His soft voice echoed in the room.

Tom did not use his real name, but replaced it with the name of Osiris, the king of the underworld in Egyptian mythology.

He is like two years ago, at the Quidditch World Cup... he really regards himself as the god of death.

Tom's voice was unhurried, without the slightest sense of oppression, more like chatting with everyone.

"Tonight, everyone is gathered together, so I can chat with you about my thoughts in such a place."

Some people applauded, and the largest audience was still the witch.

Obviously, Tom has picked up his most powerful weapon again - relying on his face to eat.

Tom pressed his hand and said loudly:

"But I don't want to talk about the "Secrecy Act" today; I don't want to talk about the dark history of the Magic Congress; I don't want to criticize, the conservative and corrupt of the International Federation of Wizards...

I just want to chat about Muggles and their changes. "

No one spoke, but the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Tom looked around and paced slowly on the podium:

"To understand the changes in Muggles, you need to understand the historical background. This is crucial at any time, and tonight is no exception."

He snapped his fingers, and some pictures began to be projected on the wall in the room, as if a movie was playing.

"Early Muggles created a complex system of myths to explain the incomprehensible."

"In Muggle terms, the 'God of the Vacancy'."

Tom looked at the crowd and explained:

"It means that when the ancients understood the world around them, if there was something they didn't understand or a gap in their understanding, they used gods to fill it in."

"And countless powerful wizards have become gods in the mouths of Muggles." Tom said:
"However, Muggle scientific knowledge has advanced rapidly over the past several hundred years."

At this moment, another set of pictures appeared in the sky, which were full of various mathematical and technical symbols.

"Muggles' understanding of the world is getting deeper and deeper, and the gaps in their understanding are gradually disappearing. At the same time, the gods they believe in are becoming fewer and fewer.

Thus, Jesus, who could be resurrected from the dead, fell to the altar;
Merlin became a magician and clown, and the dark wizard Morgan was completely forgotten;

Moses parted the Red Sea with a magic wand, which became a ridiculous story.

Besides, there is George slaying the dragon, David vs Goliath..."

Everyone held their breath, Tom said in a low voice:
"These once powerful wizards, who occupy the position of gods in the hearts of Muggles, have also become a stupid myth of the ignorant period, and have been left behind by Muggles."

"However, please don't get me wrong, it's not the Muggles' fault, but these 'gods' who have hidden themselves.

Wizards gave up their status in the past and concocted the so-called "Secrecy Law". They can only be crowded in dark corners like mice. "

"The blooming of magic can only be found in a very small number of souls. And these few people, with mortal bodies, are comparable to gods."

Tom said aloud, the voice was deafening:
"We were born to be gods, to rule the world, to rule Muggles, just like we did thousands of years ago!"
