Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1099: Slytherin’s Test



Just like the First Embrace, this Dark magic also involved transforming the body to gain immense power. However, it was not as simple as changing blood to become a vampire or acquiring magic; it was about turning the entire body of the dark wizard into that of an evil god, transforming ordinary people into void monsters…

It was truly terrifying, just the thought of it sent shivers down one’s spine. How could such horrific magic exist in the world?

Evan became more and more certain that the earlier murals he’d seen were related to this. The first step to becoming an evil god was to collect the corpses of a large number of creatures, kill these creatures, collect their souls, and then put these corpses spliced ​​together to form a terrifying flesh-and-blood monster…

That was why Evan saw parts of humans, basilisks, fire dragons and other creatures on the body of the monster in Caresius’s memory.

That was the body of the evil god, and it was born in this way.

So that was how this hodgepodge of flesh and blood came about, an evil god crafted by humans.

The Dark magic on the wall was left by Slytherin. Together with the evil god and the basilisk, it was the harvest of his adventure in Greece.

In other words, this magic was created by Herpo the Foul.

Judging from the current situation, if nothing unexpected happened, Herpo the Foul had used this magic to become an evil god, the one that Slytherin disassembled.

The most terrifying Dark wizard in history, after researching countless curses, basilisks and Horcruxes, achieved his immortality through this wicked means.

Not only did he conquer death, but he also became even more powerful, ready to conquer the entire world.

Compared with becoming an evil god, making Horcruxes was nothing…

Of course, Herpo the Foul might have split his soul to make a Horcrux before. Therefore, even Salazar Slytherin didn’t destroy it when he became an evil god; he could only dissect and seal it into three parts, each sealed in a different location.

Although there was no direct evidence to prove this, Evan felt that it was very likely.

All the events and deductions perfectly coincided and corroborated each other.

A thousand years had passed, and the Horcrux of Herpo the Foul was accidentally damaged!

He was no longer indestructible, which was why Evan was able to destroy a part of the eyeball monster last time with the help of the magic left by Slytherin.

Slytherin must have anticipated that such a day would come and left the corresponding magic behind.

So, it was likely that there were corresponding arrangements in Norway as well, and it was not impossible to destroy the body of the evil god.

This was good news, but there was also bad news.

Because the murals in the cave were severely damaged, Evan did not see the entire process of this complex magic at that time.

He wasn’t sure if there was one in Norway, and Caresius didn’t know either. He had never seen a mural depicting this terrifying Dark magic.

“My people and I cannot enter the core of the seal. The magic left by Slytherin is very powerful. Only his true descendants can enter,” said Caresius, hesitating for a moment, looking even more frustrated. “Voldemort has been in there, I don’t know what he got.”

This news was really terrible. If the arrangement was the same, Slytherin must have left this terrible Dark magic in Norway as well.

In other words, Voldemort was very likely to have obtained this magic and knew how to turn himself into an evil god.

If he knew this magic, given his character, there was no reason for him not to use it.

Not to mention, he still had the statue of the evil god in his hand, his new Horcrux. The evil god inside the statue would definitely help him, providing him with necessary guidance.

The current situation was that Voldemort could potentially transform himself into a new evil god at any moment…

Following this line of thought, more and more evidence proved this point.

For example, that night in the Hall of Valor Evan heard what the evil god said to him.

At the time, he thought the evil god was talking nonsense, but now he thought it was not the case. He told him at the time, “As long as you join me, hand over the Philosopher’s Stone and the Book of Abraham, I will help you become an immortal existence like me, just like I helped my companion.”

The companion here was definitely Voldemort. This was the agreement reached between Voldemort and the evil god.

The evil god in the statue was helping him become his own kind, and he summoned him to this world…

By then, they would join forces to conquer this world in an unimaginably cruel and evil manner.

Things like his predecessor, Grindelwald obtaining the Deathly Hallows, and the Horcruxes he made himself, were all nothing in comparison. If Voldemort transformed himself into an evil god, his level of evil would surpass imagination, and the degree of disaster would be beyond imagination.

Evan was frightened by this terrifying speculation, and he hoped that this would not happen.

But then again, since Salazar Slytherin had left behind such a dreadful magic, he must have made corresponding preparations.

Otherwise, he would have left a way to break it. Perhaps this was also part of his so-called test.

Troublesome Slytherin, he left behind the strongest Dark magic, along with this temptation and test.

What level of strength did he really hope his students at the school reach to satisfy his requirements and hand over the key to the treasure…

Under the current circumstances, it was necessary to go to Norway for an on-site inspection!

Caresius just said that before the sealing magic completely lost its power, only direct descendants of Slytherin could enter the core location.

In other words, only Voldemort could enter it, and no one else could.

Of course, they now had fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle!

If the validation there was based on Parseltongue or soul, Riddle could also enter.

Evan raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore. Was that what he meant by preparation?

So that was why he didn’t destroy that ring.

The body of the evil god, Slytherin, the seal, the ring, the Deathly Hallows, the peculiar Horcruxes… Everything was too coincidental, so much so that Evan felt scared, as if he was falling into a design left by Salazar Slytherin himself.

All these coincidences pieced together gradually unveiled a shocking grand scheme.

A plan that started a thousand years ago; and all of them were just part of this plan, just pawns.

The terrifying Salazar Slytherin, Evan previously thought that the test left by Ravenclaw was the most complex, but now it seemed not. What Slytherin planned was truly shocking, and he didn’t even have the help of a Time-Turner.

From this point of view, Gryffindor was really a good person, so considerate of Evan, a junior in his own House.

So he readily handed over the key to his treasure instead of designing one complex test after another…

Evan now hoped that the test of Hufflepuff, known for her kindness and benevolence, would not be so difficult, otherwise he would really be not sure whether he would have the time or ability to obtain those cookbooks she’d left for him…
