Homecoming from Hogwarts

Empty, cold, lonely, scary.
The immensity of the universe awes all living things.

The three people who stepped into the stone archway found themselves in a channel of flowing light. Every second, countless brilliant star fields and bizarrely shaped nebulae flashed through their vision.

Those star fields or nebulae are made up of billions of stars, among which there may be countless brilliant civilizations.

Even at Amosta's current level, the mystery and vastness of the universe still brings indescribable shock to his soul.

If there is a god in this world, a true creator, then it must be the universe itself.

The moment is eternity.

The three of them might have spent hundreds of years in the passage across the starry sky, or perhaps it was just a blink of an eye.

At the end of the colorful passage, a dazzling white light appeared.

Before the three of them could say anything about the white light, the white light that appeared in their eyes had already swallowed up the three of them.

silence.

Eternal, unbroken silence.

It's as if 'sound' in this world has been silenced so as not to disturb the peace of the deceased.

What a world this is!

At the end of the passage is another stone arch, standing in an endless gray 'ocean'.

ocean
Dumbledore looked down at his feet. He used the word "sea" from his previous worldview to describe the vast gray liquid under his feet.

But in the next moment, the entire liquid ocean turned into thick gray fog in his vision, with irregular shapes, gathering and dispersing.

There is no concept of earth and sky.

They were in a space filled with gray fog.

The space storm here is particularly strong and disordered, carrying gray fog and sweeping across the world.

In the last second, the world was as peaceful as the green mountains with wisps of cold smoke rising in the morning light.

But in the next second, the world of death may turn upside down.

The sea of ​​gray fog that had dissipated in front of the three people reappeared, and driven by a fierce storm, waves as tall as Mount Olympus hit them.

Even Dumbledore couldn't help but change color when faced with such power of heaven and earth!

Amosta's brows slightly frowned. Facing the overwhelming gray waves, he took a step forward, put his hand into a knife, and slashed down suddenly.

Like Moses parting the sea.

A gap suddenly appeared in the mountain-like waves, allowing three people to pass through.

But the huge wave had not yet completely fallen, but disappeared without a trace, which was full of absurdity.

"The rules of the world as we know it do not apply here at all."

Dumbledore shook his head and said.

Amosta nodded.

He looked around, exploring the world of death.

This was not the first time he had set foot here. When he was still Zhou Nan, his soul had rested here for countless years.

This place felt familiar to him.

Grindelwald spread out his palms, grabbed a wisp of free gray mist in the space, and savored it quietly.

In this world, the gray mists representing death do not show strong aggression or aggressiveness. They are just peaceful soul power.

After clearing away the gray mist, Grindelwald looked directly at his hands and pondered for a moment.
"We will be assimilated soon."

"These are the rules of this world."

Amosta nodded.

"The part of the soul that contains memories will be stripped away and left in this world, while the pure soul will be reincarnated into the rest of the world through that door."

"But you retained your memory, didn't you, Amosta?"

Dumbledore smiled at Amosta.
"Your memory has not been stripped away by the rules of the world."

"Among billions of living beings in the universe, there will always be some special cases."

Amosta said calmly and calmly.

Whoosh!
The Gate of Death behind the three people glowed with fluorescence again, and the double snake staff flew out from the gate. After circling above the three people's heads for a few times, it broke through the misty gray fog and flew away in an unknown direction.

Amosta and the other two could all feel the urgency of the snake staff.

"Ah--"

Amosta smiled and said,
"It went to find its owner."

"Tom must be feeling very scared at this moment."

Dumbledore also smiled.

They followed the direction of the double snake staff and began to cross the world of death, leaving the stone arch standing in its place.

In the boundless world of death, there is nothing but the power of soul.

Occasionally they would meet others on their way.

For example, a withered old tree, a low rockery or even a rockery floating in space that seems to have no special features.

This phenomenon surprised Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and Amosta gave an explanation.

“That’s human obsession.”

Amosta sighed.

"Obsession?"

Dumbledore had a strange look on his face, and his tone was just the right amount of confusion.

"That's right--"

Amosta nodded, pointed at a gray stone that was rooted in the void like a reef, and said,
"In the myriad worlds, there are always some people who die with great regret or unwillingness. This regret is so deep-rooted that even the rules of the world of death cannot erase it.

Under the unique rules of the world, obsession becomes a real creation, existing forever in the world of death. "

Dumbledore and Grindelwald were both touched by what they heard.

Even death can't erase the obsession
How great, and how sad.

"So to say--"

Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched, as if he had understood something.
"Holy weapon?"

"That's right--"

Amosta nodded and said,
"The twin snakes, the Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak, the Resurrection Stone, and even the stone archway that connects the two worlds, they all belong to the world of death. Their bodies are the obsessions left behind by the people of the heavens and myriad worlds after their death."

Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at each other and fell into a solemn silence.

They have a long life with unresolved past events that haunt them all their lives.
However, they dare not say that their obsession can still exist after death and will not be eliminated.

“Awesome.”

Grindelwald spoke succinctly, and Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

Compared with the universe, compared with the countless brilliant civilizations in the universe, the things that troubled them throughout their lives were so insignificant!
In a world where time does not exist, Amosta cannot tell how much time has passed.

The caduceus disappeared, and Amosta led Dumbledore and Grindelwald on their way.

In his view, the world of death is not so empty.

The veins representing rules are densely packed in the void, like a spider web.

And in the center of the huge spider web is a 'door'!
Ancient, magnificent, and solemn. No matter how many words are used to express awe, it is still not enough to describe its greatness!

It stands in the void, with death surrounding it, lasting forever, quietly releasing its majesty!

"This is"

In front of this tall, dark yellow door, Dumbledore sighed humbly, like an apprentice learning magic for the first time, "The end of life!"

“It can also be said to be the starting point of life.”

Amosta said solemnly.

His gaze was directed towards the tall door, and a figure that was insignificant compared to the door.

But when you look directly at him, the brilliant light of his soul is as dazzling and scorching as the sun!
An old man with a beard and hair longer than Dumbledore and a kind face was sitting on a rockery to rest. He also saw Amosta and was smiling at him.

Beside him, the eyes of the double-snake staff had been closed, and the staff was inserted into the rockery.

"Long time no see, Zhou Nan. Ah, of course, your name is Amosta now."

The old man said with a smile.

"Who is this?"

Dumbledore had a guess, but he still asked Amosta.

"Merlin Ambrosius."

Amosta said, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"what--"

Dumbledore showed just the right amount of surprise, and bowed slightly to Merlin in respect.
"I'm."

"Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald."

Merlin smiled and called out their names first.

"Hello, sages of the future."

Merlin seemed to be resting. He floated down from the rockery and saluted Dumbledore and Grindelwald with ancient court etiquette.

"You don't seem to want to see me, Amosta?"

But Merlin was most concerned about Amosta, and he once again cast an admiring gaze upon him.

"When my soul had not yet awakened from its slumber, you and Herpo had both peeked into my memory. Do you think I would be pleased with such an offense, great legendary wizard?"

Amosta said lightly.

"I do owe you an apology, Amosta--"

Merlin smiled ethereally, and his old face twitched a few times.
"But you should understand that in this place where life ends and flourishes, seeing a soul that is not eroded by rules, but that soul does not contain extraordinary power. Both I and Hailbo can't help but feel curious."

Amosta snorted lightly and said nothing.

He looked around with a deep gaze, but did not find the second figure.

Glancing at the double snake staff placed on the rockery, Amosta looked at Merlin Ambrosius with a strange tone.
"Speaking of which, where's Helbo?"

"The war is over."

Merlin said with emotion.

"The war is over?"

Amosta's eyebrows raised, and both Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at him.

"That's right. This was an extremely difficult duel, spanning time and space. But in the end--"

Merlin sighed and said,
“The continuation of King Arthur’s war with Morgan le Fay, the war between me and Herpo is over.

The crisis in our world has been resolved. Helpo can no longer return to our world through the stone gate, nor can he retain his memory and pass through the "Gate of Life" to erode other worlds. "

"Yeah."

Amosta said softly, a wave of melancholy spreading through his soul.

"I've been waiting here for you to tell you the news and to express my gratitude."

Merlin nodded to Amosta.
"You come from another world, but you bring more civilized ideas and more perfect development concepts to the people of the magical world, and point out the direction of development for wizards. You come here without hesitation for the safety of our world."

"The world of magic is also the world I love."

Amosta said indifferently.

"Well, I have completed my mission, and it's time to leave--"

Merlin smiled at Amosta.
"The 'Fate Tablet' can automatically open the 'Gate of Life'. Back then, in order to prevent Helpo from reincarnating into other worlds with his memories, I took it away first and placed it with the centaurs. Now, I need you to return it, Amosta--"

Merlin held out his hand to Amosta with a kind smile.

"As it should be—"

Amosta nodded and spread out his palms as well, his pure white palms rippling like the surface of water.

Grindelwald frowned, but Dumbledore's nonchalant look made him shut up.

The ripples in the palm of his hand became more and more intense, and the outline of Merlin's soul body also trembled violently, staring at Amosta's palm with desire.

Quietly, the double snake staff placed on the rockery opened its four blood-red eyes!

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

A mocking expression suddenly appeared on Amosta's lips, and he scolded coldly.

"what?"

Merlin was startled and looked at Amosta in astonishment.

Wow!
King Arthur's broken steel holy sword suddenly flew out from Amosstar's palm, and then Hufflepuff's gold cup, Ravenclaw's crown, and Slytherin's locket flew out from his palm one after another!

On the four objects, the real magic patterns engraved on each of them, which were once unrecognizable by Amos Tower and Dumbledore, shone brightly. They floated in front and behind Merlin, and surged out from his majestic soul, immobilizing Merlin!

"Perhaps you have misunderstood something, Amosta!"

Merlin's benevolent face disappeared, and his expression became sinister.

However, he still endured and tried to confuse Amosta.
"The war is over!"

Amosta sneered as he retreated.
"That's interesting. The Horcrux hidden in the Dementor's body has not been destroyed yet. How did you kill him?"

Merlin was speechless.

"He is Hailbo in disguise?"

Dumbledore asked solemnly.

"Do not--"

Amosta shook his head, revealing a bit of regret.
"I think that during the long war, the souls of Merlin and Herpo merged."

"You misunderstood, Amosta—"

The old wizard in the image of Merlin wanted to explain, but halfway through his words, his face froze and he gasped with a painful expression!
"Harry has succeeded."

Amosta smiled.

"Asshole, you destroyed my Horcrux!"

With a roar filled with hatred, a black mist surged out from the depths of Merlin's flawless soul, rendering the pure white soul in front of the three people into a hideous appearance that was half pure white and half pitch black!

Amidst the continuous roars, Merlin's figure rose higher and higher, and his invincible soul even stirred up heart-pounding thunders in the world of death!
The twin snake staffs also transformed into their original form, becoming two gigantic snake monsters several miles long. They coiled around Merlin's body and also let out fierce roars.

"You have chosen a sad end for yourself, Amosta!"

A giant that was both divine and demonic appeared in front of the three people. It stared at Amosta with its head down, and the powerful soul fluctuations made the space here tremble.
"Give me your soul, alien!"

There is nothing more to say!

Amosta, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald looked at each other, and their souls simultaneously emitted endless white light.

With a majestic roar, flying snakes, phoenixes and bats as big as mountains and lakes appeared in the world of death at the same time!
Not only that, a hearty laugh filled with fighting spirit suddenly rang out from the void.

The souls of the four founders of Hogwarts: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin also flew out of their hosts.

With an unyielding fighting spirit, the four founders transformed into a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake, and together with the viper, phoenix and bat, pounced on the soul that was a combination of gods and demons at the same time!
