Chapter 150 Devouring Voldemort's Soul
Cyrus moved his stiff body, then glanced at the messy surroundings, gracefully waved his wand, and restored everything to its original state.
Then, he held his forehead and slowly picked up the ring that was already in a mess, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
"You want to take over my body too?"
Cyrus had devoured Voldemort's soul before his resurrection. At that time, Voldemort's residual soul was not his opponent, let alone now? From the moment Voldemort planned to take over Cyrus' body, his end was doomed.
However, judging from the result, his death became a valuable thing.
After devouring Voldemort's soul fragments again, Cyrus clearly felt that his soul seemed to have grown a little stronger.
The wizard's spellcasting is related to will, and will is related to the soul. A wizard with a strong soul must have extremely powerful spellcasting ability. Cyrus was like eating an experience pack at once, and the power of magic immediately grew a little stronger!
So much so that when he looked at the golden cup and crown at this moment, his eyes became a little greedy.
But he was not crazy enough to devour the souls in the two Horcruxes immediately.
After all, these were other people's souls. Even if there were some special reasons that made Cyrus's soul compatible with Voldemort's soul, if his soul was mixed with too many fragments of Voldemort, then at that time, would he be Cyrus or Voldemort?
This was an unavoidable question, the soul itself belonged.
However...
"After I completely digest this soul fragment in the ring, maybe I can continue to try to devour the next soul fragment."
Cyrus thought.
Of course, he would not let go of anything that might improve his strength, but the premise was that he would never leave any trouble.
Just like those demons in martial arts novels who took away other people's internal strength, most of them would go crazy because of the mixed internal strength.
Now Cyrus needs to slowly digest this soul fragment of Voldemort and make it completely nutrient.
So in the following days, Cyrus stayed in Hogwarts. During the day, he mostly rested in the Room of Requirement or studied ancient magic. In fact, he has a lot of things to study, such as ancient magic, magical animals, blood curses, Horcruxes, resurrection stones...
At night, he will go to find the location of the Pavilion of Knowledge.
But until now, he has not gained anything.
Fortunately, the days in Hogwarts are never too boring. Although the Pavilion of Knowledge cannot be found, the library can be entered and exited at will. Many books in it are very useful to Cyrus.
A thousand years of collection of books, even Voldemort can't read them all, this is a huge treasure.
In his memory, there are some manuscript records of Slytherin's magic experiments. The other party's magic experiments are obviously not perfect, and there are many problems. These problems can always be solved by one or two people in the accumulation of knowledge for nearly a thousand years.
Even if there is no one, it does not prevent Cyrus from being the one to solve this problem.
So, during this period of time, the two dragons became his experimental subjects.
Considering the preciousness of fire dragons, and that Cyrus kept them more as pets than as test subjects, these experiments were not cruel. At most, they would draw some dragon blood or cut a small piece of dragon skin to try to guide the ancient magic in the blood of fire dragons.
The most outstanding thing about fire dragons is their magic resistance, which makes them almost immune to most magic, and the death curses cast by ordinary wizards may not be able to kill them. The second is the fire of fire dragons.
This kind of flame is very powerful, and it not only burns, but also has an explosive effect.
Cyrus does not attach much importance to this point.
In terms of power, the flame has a fierce fire, and if you want to add some explosive properties, you only need to fuse an explosion spell. The characteristics of these two spells are similar, and it is very easy to fuse them, at least it is very easy for Cyrus.
His other research direction is the blood curse orcs, not only to help Nagini, but also because he is very interested in this kind of magic that is both a curse and a transformation.
The blood curse is very similar to ordinary animal transformation. Both spells will make the wizard lose his will as a human, resulting in the inability to turn back into a human. But the blood curse erodes the will of wizards for a longer time and is irreversible.
No one can stop this process, not even the master of transfiguration Dumbledore can change this curse.
Cyrus can now wave his wand to turn Nagini back to her former human form, but even so, she will not think of herself as a person.
When an Animagus turns into an animal, a second heartbeat will sound, while the blood curse is more like the heart belonging to a person will slowly stop beating, and finally be completely replaced by the heartbeat of the animal.
Today, Nagini's body, mind and even soul are no different from ordinary snakes.
If Cyrus had not read "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he would never have thought that such a snake was actually transformed by a person.
"The blood curse and wolfsbane are like a disease rather than magic, and there is no potion that can cure it."
Cyrus actually thought of using the golden cup to conjure a potion that can break the curse, but obviously, the golden cup is not a wishing cup, and it is impossible for it to conjure something that does not exist in this world.
Time passed quickly, and during this period, Hermione sometimes tried to contact him. However, if it was not very important, Cyrus usually would not respond. He did not want to turn the diary into a chat tool, especially those continuous bombardment of messages, which he really could not stand.
However, some recent news still made him very concerned. Sirius's case was completely overturned.
The newspaper that Dobby brought to Cyrus published this matter, and Hermione also told Cyrus the news through the diary. After Dumbledore imprisoned Peter Pettigrew in the Ministry of Magic, Sirius finally took the initiative to show up and participate in the trial.
It is said that he did not seem to want to overturn his case at all, but wanted to commit murder in court and kill Peter Pettigrew directly.
But Dumbledore stopped him.
Of course, if it was just like this, then this news would be a bit unremarkable to Cyrus, but things are obviously not that simple. The key point is that after the trial, Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to be sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss, actually escaped before being punished!
This is very interesting.
You know, Dumbledore was in the Ministry of Magic at the time, and Sirius had already said in court that Pettigrew was an Animagus in the form of a mouse. The Ministry of Magic should have a foolproof measure to prevent Pettigrew from escaping.
But this rat in the gutter actually escaped like this? !
Cyrus didn't believe that this had nothing to do with Dumbledore.
He was more inclined to believe that the person who let Pettigrew go was Dumbledore himself. Of course, Pettigrew probably didn't realize this.
Think about it carefully. Now Pettigrew has become a fugitive, and even his Animagus form has been exposed. Where can he go in this situation?
Except for joining the weak Voldemort, he can't go anywhere. The people in the Ministry of Magic are looking for him, and the Death Eaters will not let him go. There is only one way in front of him, that is to find the Dark Lord and help him resurrect!
Only in this way can he regain his foothold among the Death Eaters.
Dumbledore needs Voldemort to be resurrected, and it is best to use Harry's blood to revive him. Only in this way can Voldemort be completely eliminated.
Of course, variables still exist.
The only thing that Dumbledore is unsure about now is Cyrus.
He doesn't know whether Cyrus is still Voldemort's Horcrux. If so, as long as Cyrus is not dead, Voldemort may not die.
But he is not really worried about this. Judging from the incident of the battle in Gringotts, it is obvious that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Cyrus and Voldemort. Even if they are left alone, they will go to the opposite path.
Because of this, Dumbledore is not as sorry about Cyrus stealing the crown as it seems.
The key is that he wants to find out what kind of person Cyrus is.
Judging from the current performance, Cyrus does not seem to be a huge threat, but Dumbledore is not sure whether this is the real Cyrus or the illusion shown by the other party.
