Chapter 466: Small Plans Continue to Be Completed
“Boy, you are incredibly courageous. You are really the most powerful opponent I have ever seen.” Voldemort’s voice sounded slowly and weakly, as if every word he said took a huge amount of energy, but he still insisted on speaking intermittently: “I don’t know… I don’t know how you discovered the moment when my soul was lost. It was really just a moment… But I might have ruined everything for this.”
Facing such a Voldemort, Yang Tian's face was full of astonishment. No wizard had ever been able to remain so clear and autonomous after being baptized by the soul seed. He knew how much willpower and mental strength it took to do this; it was a miserable experience of fighting against inhuman pain all the time.
But the Dark Lord really did it. Although he was very weak and in pain, he really maintained his original heart and preserved his pride.
However, Yang Tian was not in a hurry, as the soul seed was only in the rooting and germination stage. But he did not know whether our Lord Dark Lord would be able to fight as easily as he did now after it reached the stage of branching out and even merging with the soul body.
Thinking of this, Yang Tian smiled happily and said, "Forget it, Voldemort. It has become like this now. What else can you say? I have said it many times. Your soul is all here. You have lost completely and there is no room for recovery. So, the next question you should think about is how to live. Do you choose to be imprisoned in this soul prison and tortured for the rest of your life, or become my capable slave? The choice is in your hands."
"I am the great Dark Lord! I will not be anyone's servant!" Voldemort's voice was full of determination.
"Don't rush to give an answer, Voldemort! Let me guess?" Yang Tian said jokingly: "You were able to withstand the punishment of Soul Prison in the beginning, you should have had absolute confidence in your method of resurrecting your Horcruxes, right? So, no matter how painful or helpless you are, as long as there is light, you can endure it." His eyes were like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Voldemort, as if to cut open all the fragility deep in his heart.
"But now, the light is out... you have no hope." Yang Tian continued, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "What will happen to your life from now on? Boredom? Day after day? Or... decadence?"
Voldemort’s face turned gloomy. He wanted to refute, but Yang Tian didn’t give him a chance and interrupted him directly, “You don’t need to convince me, really… As long as you can convince yourself… Let’s stop here for today… This time, I have learned a lot of secrets from you! It seems that I can lead my companions to explore the wonderful world you have revealed to us… Hahahaha…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Tian's figure disappeared in the soul prison, leaving only Voldemort's soul No. 1 collapsed on the ground; from time to time, he screamed miserably, obviously suffering further torture from the soul seed...
Time soon came to the beginning of October, and the Quidditch season selection was approaching again. Yang Tian never participated in the team selection, but this made the captain Roger Davis very busy. In order to select the best Quidditch seedlings and to prevent these guys from being called good-for-nothings when practicing with Yang Tian, which would implicate him, Roger really worked hard! After a few days of selection, the team members were finally determined.
But to Yang Tian and his friends' surprise, Cook White from the study group was selected to join the team and became a substitute chaser! In this selection, this little guy showed his outstanding flying talent and catching ability, which impressed everyone.
The entire team was very happy. They congratulated Cook and prepared a small dinner to reward him...
Of course, this was destined to be just a small episode in his busy life. Even apart from the non-stop schoolwork and research, he still had a lot of things to do.
For example, in recent days, Yang Tian carefully planned a small operation: on the one hand, he deployed the Basilisk at the entrance of the Whomping Willow's cave, and ordered Nagini to be ready for support at any time; on the other hand, he asked Xiao Lao to lead his men to closely monitor the Shrieking Shack, and provided them with a portrait of Sirius Black and his appearance as the Queen of the Animagus.
As someone who is familiar with the original plot, Yang Tian clearly remembers that Sirius was able to sneak into the Gryffindor common room on Halloween night and destroy the portrait of the Fat Lady with the help of this secret passage.
Now, Yang Tian has already laid out the plan in advance, forming a two-sided attack, and Sirius is destined to have nowhere to escape. As for why he had to lay out this trap so early in early October, he could only say that it was safer to strike first when he could not determine the exact time when Sirius would lurk in the secret passage.
When he thought of this, Yang Tian’s heart was filled with joy.
Of course, his plan was much more than that. After all, he was not a soft-hearted person. Speaking of which, more than half a month had passed since the last battle between Scabbers and Crookshanks in the auditorium. If he were to start his plan now and make this Scabbers, the famous Peter Pettigrew, surrender, no one would suspect him, right?
But then again, before, he had thought of using the Weasley brothers or people from Gryffindor like Parvati and Angelina to complete this operation. But after he planted the soul seed in Voldemort's soul No. 1, his thoughts changed drastically: Can this terrifying Death Eater team be used by him and become another helper when he walks in the dark?
Moreover, if this scenario really comes true, should the famous Voldemort resurrection plot in the original book continue? Can Voldemort and his Death Eaters be made into a force that has nothing to do with them? Can this team be rescued and then directly let them start a bloodbath in the area controlled by Sarok?
Ambitious ideas kept growing in Yang Tian's mind, and he fell into deep thought... However, no matter what, keeping Peter Pettigrew firmly in his hands was the most urgent task at the moment! So, a simple but safe plan gradually took shape in his mind...
