Chapter 1089 Tom's Deathly Hallows

The residence of the god of death is located in the underworld.

Surrounded by water on all sides, goose feathers cannot float, reed flowers sink to the bottom, and people die without souls.

The name of its water is... Styx.

——"History of Human Magic"

Years after the end of the Wizarding Wars, Hermione Stark, the world's most famous witch, had her manuscripts compiled and published in Bathilda Bagshot's will.

This is known as the most important historical document in the history of wizards... It originated from the fact that Hermione added a volume of "Prehistoric History of Magic" at the end of the book as appropriate.

The word Death and Styx has been widely known to wizards since then, rather than being circulated in the world as a bedtime story.

But before that, few people knew that Styx was real.

Then, there are fewer and fewer people who successfully arrived here and successfully found the wizard of death.

Standing by the River Styx, even though he firmly believed that he would definitely reach this place, when he actually stepped into this land, Tom's mood was still agitated in an instant.

The last wizard who arrived here was more than two hundred years ago.

If the conditions were more stringent... so harsh that a wizard who strictly follows the path of "the story of the three brothers, the trial of the god of death"...

It goes back to the Ravenclaw trio.

Tom can be called No.1 since the millennium.

Thinking of this, Tom was very proud.

He is comparable to those legends who have left a great reputation in the long river of history.

Considering that he is about to collect the three-piece set of Deathly Hallows by himself, and regain his complete body...

Tom is confident:

What rubbish Voldemort, the original Dark Lord Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Stark...

They will all be stepped under his feet and become his stepping stones.

Standing by the river, Tom observed the Styx for a while.

He threw a thick death worm into the water, and a large piece of blood immediately floated on the surface of the water, like a huge red lotus blooming.

The water was turbid and swift, and the resentment of the undead for countless years had accumulated at the bottom of the river.

It is impossible for any wizard to go down this river, and there are basically no objects that can float on it.

According to the old man who called himself Slytherin:
There is only one thing in the world that can cross the River Styx—the coffin that carried the body of Osiris back then.

Tom doesn't have such a thing. He is ready to go to Egypt to find it.

He also thought about coming here repeatedly in the future, stuck with bugs, and asked Death for the Deathly Hallows.

God's wool, if you don't pluck it, it won't be plucked.

Since it is impossible to cross or fly over, we can only build a bridge on the river according to "The Story of the Three Brothers".

Even if they passed the trial of God of Death, many wizards who came here would still be stuck at the last level.

It is too easy for powerful wizards to build a bridge in the wizarding world.

Any transformation can be done.

But in the underworld, wizards' magic is limited.

It can be said that it is basically impossible for a wizard who does not know the prehistoric mysteries to cross the river.

But for Tom, it was easy... He and the old man had learned a lot of prehistoric mysteries.

Tom waved his wand, and a bridge appeared over the treacherous water.

Seeing Tom's frenzied appearance, Harry thought something was wrong, and was about to escape, but was immediately imprisoned by magic.

Tom dragged Harry and strode towards the middle of the bridge.

The bridge wasn't very long, and he quickly reached the middle.

It was still daytime, but the sun suddenly dimmed, and a dark red star hung in the sky.

The surrounding mist gathers, and it is dyed eerie red.

across the river,
Suddenly a person appeared.

Across the turbulent river, he stood under the dense elderberry, opposite Tom.

The wide hood completely covered the entire face, not only the appearance, but also the figure, or other characteristics could not be seen.

It seems to be an empty robe, floating in the air.

Tom hesitated, held his wand upside down, and asked, "Are you the god of death?"

The black-robed wizard was indifferent, just overlooking the three of them.

Tom quickly took out the emerald.

While lurking in Ilvermorny, America, he kept a horned water snake.

When the time came, Tom killed the horned water snake, took off the gemstone on his forehead, and made it into a Horcrux.

He held the gem, and a living eye appeared... The eye blinked, black and bright.

With Tom's control, the phantom floated out.

He looked exactly like Tom, dark-haired and tall, but his outline was blurred and seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

Harry suddenly felt his forehead explode, and the scar was burning violently.

He put one hand to his forehead, and then felt in horror, a voice came from inside to his ears.

He seemed to have a soul inside him.

Harry's whole body was so painful that he was about to faint, and he was suddenly terrified, because he saw the thing that made the sound:

The shape is a naked child, curled up, the red skin is very rough, it looks like a layer of skin has been peeled off.

Next to that child, lay a baby, blue all over, not breathing at all, and had been dead for a long time.

Harry remembered, he had seen these two babies.

Just five years ago in the Sanctuary of the Chamber of Secrets, he was captured by Tom in the diary, and then suffered Avada Kedavra.

He saw the baby die with his own eyes, and soon another identical existence appeared.

At the time, Harry thought it was just a hallucination, but after seeing it again...

At this moment, he felt something, as if he realized something.

That was something he had neglected for years.

Harry had fallen into a peculiar state, and Tom looked to death.

The three soul fragments are all here, meeting the conditions of "three brothers".

"Each of you can get a gift as a reward for arriving here."

Death spoke suddenly, his voice low, as if speaking in Tom's head.

The soul in the gem horcrux immediately said:
"I want a woman, her name is Elaine..."

As a condition for Slytherin to help himself, Tom needs to ask for something for him when he finds Death.

This is a contract that must be fulfilled, bound by prehistoric esoteric magic.

So of the three Deathly Hallows, the first has already been ordered by Slytherin.

Tom was curious about what Slytherin would want, but he didn't expect it was just a woman.

The god of death walked to the bank, grabbed a lump of mud by the Styx River, pinched out a long and slender clay figurine, and threw it to the Horcrux.

Tom controlled the dazed Harry again, and said, "I hope to gather the souls that were killed."

Reaper returned to the river, picked up a barrel he used as a chamber pot, and threw it to Harry.

The drum was dangling, and there was still liquid in it.

Then Death looked at Tom again, and asked him what he wanted.

The third child in all the stories of the three brothers lived to the end.

This is why Tom deliberately asked for the Deathly Hallows last.

Tom most valued, no doubt, is immortality.

This is his goal that will never change.

But the Horcrux has a major flaw. He thought for a long time, and finally looked at the god of death, and said reverently:

"Reaper, I want something. Even if I am killed, I can be resurrected in the best condition immediately, and there will never be any restrictions."

Death stared at Tom with vacant eyes, and seemed reluctant.

Finally, a triangular urn made of elderberry covered with gold was dug out from under the elder tree and thrown to Tom.

After Tom got it, he knew that the name of this Deathly Hallows was...the Golden Ark of the Covenant.
