Chapter 1111 Gifts to the God of Death

the vatican,
Secret Archives,
Located in the corner of the Borgia courtyard.

As a forbidden place where few outsiders can set foot, the archives have 84 kilometers of bookshelves and 35000 volumes of catalogs that are only available for reference.

Although it may not be comparable to the Library of Congress in terms of quantity, most of the books in the archives are out of print.

It can be said that there are the largest collection of ancient books and treasures in the world.

In addition to state documents, correspondence, papal ledgers, and documents accumulated by the Church over the centuries, there are many... banned books!
For example, the original manuscript of Galileo's "Dialogue", which was banned, and Copernicus' "Revolution".

Many scientific masterpieces that are out of print in the world have manuscripts here.

Of course, as the opposing parties in the Middle Ages, there are a large number of books about wizards and magic in the archives.

It can be said that this is the Muggle library with the largest collection of magic books.

But these things are hard to see the light of day again.

Because the Vatican Secret Archives, outsiders are forbidden to enter.

Although you can submit an application if you want to view the documents, only a few people can pass the application, and the archives will only provide photocopied documents.

Some taboo things, such as magic, are also not in the catalog that can be applied for publicly.

But outside this restricted area, a 16-year-old boy appeared at this moment.

Tom holds a Calabar esoteric manuscript, The Book of Radiance, and wears a yarmulke, traditional Catholic purple robe and white corselet.

He stepped onto the deserted Fundamenta road leading to the archives and entered the archives easily.

The Archives, off-limits to others, had become the perfect sanctuary for him.

Not only can you avoid wizards and Muggles, but you can also avoid the old man who calls himself "Slytherin".

That old man, I'm afraid he would never have dreamed that he would be hiding in the Vatican Secret Archives-the lair of wizards and enemies, right? !

Through the dim door, Tom entered the inner room through the arched entrance.

He took a deep breath.

In order to preserve the precious books, the airtight archive room contains very low oxygen, and the inside is almost a vacuum.

But ten minutes ago, he had controlled the Muggle guards and turned on the oxygen supply system.

Tom walked to the transparent storage room, with red glowing guide labels at the end of each bookshelf.

In the Jewish parish, he finally put the Kabbalah esoteric works back on the original bookshelf.

Kabbalah is a branch of Judaism that requires believers to adhere to a arduous meditation process and a strict ascetic lifestyle.

The most famous one is the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

According to Slytherin, prehistoric mysteries are lost in these religious texts.

The "Book of Creation" and "Book of Light" of Kabbalah Esotericism hide part of the knowledge.

After Tom came back from the underworld, he didn't want to go to Constantinople for a short time. He needed to find another place to study.

The secret archives of the Vatican is a secret place, and for Tom, it is also a treasure house.

After classifying the books, Tom sat on a chair and took out the strange-looking Death's Chest.

Underworld water flows in the coffin, and nine pieces of souls swim in the water.

The largest piece was larger than all the other soul fragments combined.

In the "Roman Wizard" next door, Tom saw the news that Stark and Dumbledore had killed Voldemort.

He used the coffin of souls to summon the soul of the main body.

The remaining six slices are of different sizes, but the gap is not large, occupying the second gradient.

These are the soul fragments of six Horcruxes, including the one Tom made to meet Death.

There are also two smallest fragments, almost insignificant...the two souls appearing one after the other on Harry's forehead.

At this moment, Tom has collected all his souls.

What he needs to do is to become one again, to have a whole soul again.

The process of making a Horcrux is evil, but it doesn't mean that the process is irreversible and cannot be recovered.

A wizard can make a horcrux, and he can disarm the horcrux.

The key to both processes lies in "regret".

When creating a Horcrux, the wizard must first commit a murder intentionally.

It is not enough to kill in self-defense or to protect others, it must be committed intentionally and consciously without feeling... regretful.

If you want to remove the Horcrux and restore your soul again, you must truly feel what you have done, and then make...repentance.

But correspondingly, the pain during confession may destroy the Horcrux maker.

From Tom's point of view, it wasn't that difficult.

The so-called confession... In the eyes of a wizard like him who has learned the prehistoric mysteries, it is just the use of emotional power.

Similar to the power of "love".

The key is the kind of pain that is enough to kill a wizard... Tom can be resurrected infinitely, and he will die if he dies.

He is even a little proud that he will confess his killing in the holy place of the Catholic Church.

Resurrected here again, making the soul whole... Doesn't it smell like Jesus?
It's so ceremonial! !
After becoming a high-ranking purger in the United States and playing for a while, Tom suddenly had a whim at this moment and decided to make the Pope Dangdang.

Finally, as the pope, launch a holy war to the wizarding world, a modern "crusade"!
Isn't it beautiful! !
But Tom still underestimated the horror of splitting nine soul fragments.

It was a kind of torture similar to karmic fire.

In the first second of his confession, his whole body seemed to be burned by the Fierce Fire Curse. From kneeling on his knees to falling to the ground, it only took a moment.

The magic power of the whole body stagnated suddenly. This pain was a hundred times more terrifying than the splitting of the soul when making the Horcrux.

Splitting a horcrux is only equivalent to a caesarean section.

The recovery of the soul is more like bone scraping without anesthesia.

It also seemed to force a 43-yard foot into a [-]-yard iron shoe.

There is also the torture of the soul... Tom can feel that the resentment of the souls killed by him is devouring his soul.

Tom tried his best to raise his head, and his internal organs were like a flood.

He stretched out a hand miserably, grabbed the wand firmly, and killed himself immediately.

After he was revived again, his withered and sickly face instantly turned red.

Tom was panting and lay on the ground.

The first time, it really hurt.

But he was mentally prepared, and then started the second attempt.

If he didn't even dare to continue, would he still be the Dark Lord?

This time for 3 minutes, Tom killed himself again.

Maybe some things will be painful for the first time, but the more times, the more comfortable it will be... But it definitely does not include the recovery of the soul.

Tom died 4396 times, from morning to evening. Under this repeated torture, he finally succeeded.

The slump on Tom's face slowly faded away, and he was lying on the ground dripping with sweat, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He was finally complete. It took five full years to resurrect him from the diary, and finally he was no longer the 16-year-old soul fragment.

The most important thing is... All the memories of the soul are continuously poured into Tom's mind.

The influx of a large number of memories in an instant directly made his mind a little messy.

The integrity of the soul, although it cannot directly bring great power, making him as powerful as the main body immediately, but it can obtain all the memories of the main body.

Those magic knowledge, those remote and powerful black magic, can be mastered again by him in time.

Tom Riddle stood up slowly from the ground.

At this moment, he has restrained breath, superior intelligence, possesses an immortal body, and has all the memories of Voldemort for 70 years...

This is the most powerful Tom Riddle, the most perfect Dark Lord! !
The corners of Tom's mouth curled up, revealing a smile, as if the world was about to be ruled by him again.

What Dumbledore, what Stark, what Slytherin... He will kill them all.

Tom was imagining a bright future, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.

From the depths of the "archive room", there was sudden applause, and a tall old man wearing a cardinal's clothes slowly walked out.

"Tom, long time no see, since you are back in this world, why are you hiding here?
Did you forget what you promised me? "

The old man looked at Tom as if looking at a piece of art he had made himself.

Now that the work of art is complete, it's time to offer him to Death, as a gift.

……

……

(ps Horcruxes are reversible, making the soul complete again, which was mentioned by Hermione in the original book, not my own.

The Deathly Hallows part:
"Is there a way to make myself whole again?" Ron asked.

"Yes," said Hermione with a dry smile, "but it was excruciatingly painful."

"Why? How to do it?" Harry asked.

"Confession," said Hermione, "has to really feel what you've done. There's a note in the book that it seems like the pain will destroy you."

And in the final battle, Harry also persuaded Voldemort to repent. )
