Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 357 Becoming the Master of Death? Second Passive Concept Protection!

"What do you mean, 'or what'?! Just because of one crazy remark, you're abandoning your family? Is it you who's abandoning them, or is it my cousin who's abandoning them?"

Dudley interrupted Dumbledore impatiently, "Did you listen to what I told you before?"

If prophecies are guaranteed to come true, then it doesn't matter what we do! If prophecies are not guaranteed to come true, then it's all nonsense!

"Hey……"

When Professor Trelawney sobered up, she was naturally displeased to hear Dudley say that she was crazy and that her hard-won prophecy was nonsense, and wanted to say something to Dudley.

To everyone's surprise, Dudley put on a fierce expression, glared at Professor Trelawney, and snapped, "What do you mean, 'hey'!"

Professor Trelawney was startled and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"But... that's Death itself!"

At this moment, Dumbledore sighed and voiced the concerns in everyone's hearts.

"So what if it's Death? It's not certain who will kill whom! The prophecies only say that He can fight me, not that He can kill me, so what are you all worried about?"

Dudley understood that the Grim Reaper, who could fight him so fiercely, must have also mastered the power of the rule level, but he would never stop because of that.

If he were as afraid of death as Voldemort, he wouldn't have made it this far.

Inspired by Dudley's courage, Dumbledore stopped thinking about compromise, and the worries of the others also dissipated.

Dumbledore thought for a moment, then suddenly handed the Elder Wand to Dudley:

"Here you go, Dudley."

Dumbledore said, "Now that you have the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak, plus this Elder Wand, you have all three Deathly Hallows."

According to legend, whoever collects all three Deathly Hallows can become the master of Death, which might allow you to avoid a battle with Death.

Dudley paused slightly when he saw the Elder Wand being handed to him right under his nose.

He didn't believe the rumors Dumbledore had told him, nor did he fantasize that by collecting all three Deathly Hallows he could become the master of Death.

He was thinking of the system notification he received when he first touched the resurrection stone.

Collecting all three Deathly Hallows unlocks an extremely difficult SSS-rank special regret event—the Death Curse of the Deathly Hallows—that requires facing death multiple times.

Now, with the concept of magic in his hands, he is no longer the same as before. What was a life-threatening task for him back then may now be just a piece of cake.

He already possesses two of the Three Deathly Hallows, and now, by accepting the Elder Wand from Dumbledore, he can unlock this SSS-level special regret event.

But after thinking it over, Dudley didn't take the Elder Wand right away.

He shook his head and said dismissively, "Dumbledore, do you really think this rumor is true?"

The Three Holy Relics of the Dead, as the name suggests, do indeed possess some rather magical abilities.

But don't forget where they came from.

The story of the three brothers in The Tales of Peter the Bard is very clear: the Elder Wand was made by Death from a piece of elderberry branch that he casually cut off on the riverbank.

The Resurrection Stone was created by the Grim Reaper from a stone he picked up randomly on the riverbank.

The only thing with a decent origin is the invisibility cloak, which is the invisibility cloak that Death took off himself.

Let's try to empathize with this simple idea: if you were Death, would you agree to let someone who has collected the three things you casually cut off—a tree branch, a stone you casually picked up, and a cloak you casually took off—be your master?

Death is a complete fraud. The Elder Wand cannot guarantee that wizards will be invincible. On the contrary, due to the jealousy and covetousness of the world, its masters have been ambushed and killed generation after generation.

The Resurrection Stone cannot resurrect the dead; instead, it will attract false illusions of the dead's souls, tempting the living to commit suicide.

The invisibility cloak, used by the youngest of the three brothers in the fable, allowed him to live peacefully until he no longer wanted to live. But isn't this just another trap set by Death?

Death intended to use the invisibility cloak to prove that humans could truly defeat gods, thus allowing the world to harbor illusions about the efficacy of the three Deathly Hallows.

The invisibility cloak won't be damaged, and you can remain invisible permanently by wearing it without taking it off, which seems to match the legends.

But don't forget that Professor Moody's X-ray vision, the Marauder's Map created by Uncle James, Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, and even the advanced spell 'Manifestation' can all see through the invisibility cloak.

Skilled wizards have ways to see through the disguise of an invisibility cloak. Is it believable that Death can't find someone wearing an invisibility cloak?

If my enemy had an invisibility cloak, what do you think I would do?

I will see through their plans but not reveal them, secretly follow them, and then wait until the moment my enemy takes off their invisibility cloak before striking them dead!

The invisibility cloak is another means by which Death intensifies the struggles among people, indirectly causing death and reaping souls!

So, giving me the Elder Wand now is useless. Death will not come to acknowledge me as its master just because I have collected all three Deathly Hallows. On the contrary, it is more likely that Death will notice me sooner and lock onto me as its target.

Because if I were Death, and I released this legend, I certainly wouldn't follow it, but I also wouldn't leave it unattended.

At the very least, leaving some means within the Three Deadly Sacred Relics to instantly locate the person who has collected them all and then ambush them is definitely something that needs to be done.

Dumbledore was stunned; deep down, he didn't believe the legend either.

But his previous thought was that whether it works or not, it's always good to give it a try.

What if? What if this legend is true?

But now that Dali has analyzed it this way, it's possible that something might go wrong if we try it.

Dumbledore put away the Elder Wand and asked again, "Dali, do you intend to never verify the truth of this legend until Death comes knocking?"

"We definitely need to try, but not now."

Dudley replied, "At the very least, we should try again when we've almost finished the resurrection. If Death comes knocking before then, there's nothing we can do but improvise."

Now that I know about this prophecy, I need to adapt to the situation and add another layer of protection.

After explaining his ideas, Dali once again cast a passive conceptual repair spell on himself.

"Constant! Anything that attacks me and causes me damage that I perceive to be at least minor will be completely restored to its state before the attack occurs, before it hits me!"

The previous passive conceptual repair spell allowed Dudley to recover from any damage he suffered, making him immortal.

This passive conceptual repair spell now renders any attack aimed at Dali null and void before it even hits.

With these two conceptual spells combined, Dudley was firmly invincible.

Unless Death can use the power of the rules He wields to counteract the effects of Dudley's conceptual spell, otherwise...

Even if it's a god, Dudley will kill it without hesitation!
