Boom!
Crimson divine light suddenly appeared.
The terrifying energy was released at the instant the two came into contact, suddenly filling the entire conference hall. After being blocked for a moment by the conference hall's outer wall made of super anti-magic alloy, it broke through the wall.
The remaining International Confederation of Wizards headquarters building, together with the Sky City beneath it, instantly collapsed and rapidly disintegrated under the illumination of the crimson divine light.
Amid the cries of countless Paris citizens below, two figures flashing with crimson light shot into the sky.
No. 1 looked almost insane. Wrapped in crimson divine light, he threw punch after punch, moving so quickly that afterimages even appeared.
With every punch he threw, a large amount of crimson divine light condensed in his hand and transformed into the purest force before being blasted out.
For a moment, terrifying crimson beams of light blotted out the sky, dyeing the entire heavens blood red.
The pressure emanating from them was so great that even the Muggles below felt the urge to kneel just from looking at it.
This was the manifestation of using the power of the King's Blood to its utmost limit.
No. 1 was undoubtedly a master of various magic schools, and his control over the King's Blood had reached an extremely advanced level.
Only a powerhouse like him could perfectly merge ordinary magic power into the King's Blood and produce such terrifying attacks with every movement.
Compared to him, Yieta, who had previously absorbed the magic power stored in the Sky City, was indeed superior in terms of energy, but when it came to actual destructive power, she was not even qualified to carry No. 1's shoes.
Yet faced with such powerful attacks, Link remained extremely calm.
He did not even have the slightest intention of dodging, simply standing expressionlessly in midair.
The crimson divine light surged toward him like a tsunami, launching continuous attacks.
Yet it could never break through the layer of crimson divine light surrounding Link's body. It could not even transmit the slightest vibration into him.
No. 1's expression changed at this sight. He hurriedly pulled away from Link, then took out his wand.
The King's Blood carried a huge amount of magical power and gathered at the tip of his wand. After a brief period of charging, it condensed into a mysterious blood-red magic array.
Anyone who still possessed even the slightest instinct could clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within that blood-colored array.
Even the tiny specks of energy that escaped from it directly tore apart the surrounding space.
No. 1 was panting heavily, his face deathly pale.
After releasing such a huge amount of magical power, even he felt an intense sense of weakness.
But that did not matter anymore.
The blood-colored magic array he had created was his strongest attack in his entire life.
In order to increase its power as much as possible, he had not only poured a large amount of King's Blood and magical power into it, but had even added a small fragment of his own soul, truly giving the attack its own life and allowing it to become deified!
If one listened carefully, one could even hear hymns ringing out from the blood-colored magic array.
They were hymns belonging to a god, and this attack would also be a strike from a god, a world-destroying blow capable of piercing the sun and moon and destroying the stars!
"Come, Link. Come and taste the power of a god!"
No. 1 roared. His expression became twisted and ferocious as he suddenly swung his wand. The blood-colored magic array transformed into a beam of blood-colored light and shot out, leaving a sinister blood-red scar across space.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Link could no longer maintain his previous indifferent attitude.
His eyebrows lifted slightly, and he raised his arm, actually intending to catch it with his hand.
This made No. 1 laugh wildly in excitement.
In his eyes, Link was being arrogant to the extreme.
That was his strongest attack, condensed from almost all his power!
Link wanted to catch it with one hand?
This was simply wishful thinking!
No. 1 could even imagine the sight of Link's entire arm being pierced through by the blood-colored light and scattering into ashes!
However, reality was vastly different from what he had imagined.
The attack, which could even pierce through the stars, was firmly blocked when it fell into Link's hand.
The blood-colored light wildly writhed in Link's hand, trying to break through this obstruction and continue carrying out its mission.
But as Link's palm slowly closed, the blood-colored light that had condensed all of No. 1's painstaking effort was instantly extinguished, turning into a wisp of smoke that slowly drifted through the air.
No. 1's wild laughter came to an abrupt stop.
He was like a duck whose neck had been grabbed. His face flushed red as he stared in shock, pointing at Link with his hand as if he wanted to say something, but he could not utter a single word.
"Is that all you can do?"
Link's voice entered No. 1's ears.
No. 1 suddenly turned around and was shocked to discover that Link, who had been in the distance just moments ago, had somehow teleported directly behind him.
"Ha!"
No. 1 let out a furious roar. Crimson divine light surged around his body as he prepared to pull away from Link again and continue the battle.
But as Link's wand was slightly raised, No. 1's entire body instantly froze in place, losing all control over his own flesh and the energy within his body.
No. 1's soul screamed in despair.
In truth, there had never been any suspense in this battle between him and Link.
After absorbing Yieta and receiving the 'sacrifices' of the three people he loved most, Link now possessed a tremendous amount of King's Blood.
Relying on that vast amount of King's Blood, Link's strength had also reached the High-stage Legendary level.
This kind of power was far beyond what someone like No. 1, who had already given most of his King's Blood to others, could possibly match.
Before Link, he was as weak as a baby.
"I originally expected you to put on a more exciting performance for me, but I never thought it would be this boring."
Link's expression finally changed. He shook his head and said with regret, "Since that's the case, I'll have to find some fun myself."
With that, a translucent flower of flame suddenly ignited at the tip of the ebony wand.
Under Link's control, the ebony wand slowly pressed against No. 1's forehead, pouring all the flames onto No. 1's head.
The translucent flames flickered gently on No. 1's forehead.
This was the purest Fiendfyre, so pure that it had reached the point where things reversed when taken to an extreme, possessing a sacred quality.
Of course, it was still Fiendfyre at its core.
Because it was overly pure, its corrosive and burning properties had not disappeared. Instead, they had become even stronger, to the point that even souls could be absorbed as fuel for its flames.
After arranging everything, Link finally withdrew his wand, clapped his hands, and said with interest, "Not bad. Now you look much more pleasing to the eye."
No. 1's eyes shifted, seemingly wanting to say something, but he could not make the slightest sound.
Several emotions intertwined and collided in his gaze.
Tom Riddle, or rather Voldemort, had always been extremely afraid of death.
Otherwise, he would not have created so many Horcruxes in an attempt to defeat death.
And now, as firewood supplying energy to the Fiendfyre, the life he cherished was slowly slipping away.
This feeling of death gradually approaching would strip everything away from him at this moment, leaving nothing but fear in his heart.
Besides that, there was also the pain of the Fiendfyre slowly burning his body and soul.
With all these kinds of pain piling on top of each other, No. 1 naturally fell into despair.
Using the power of the King's Blood, Link could clearly see No. 1's soul struggling in pain.
Through the shape of his mouth, Link could even make out what his soul was trying to say at this moment, "You're a devil. You're a devil. You're a devil!~"
'Listening' to the wails coming from No. 1's soul, Link smiled.
He smiled happily.
Revenge was always something pleasurable.
It was just like becoming fat from overeating.
Although gaining weight might bring him trouble afterward,
at least during the process of 'getting fat,' what he enjoyed was the utmost happiness!
And Link's happiness would last for a long time.
He had deliberately lowered the efficiency of that pure Fiendfyre.
According to his estimate, completely burning away No. 1's soul and body would take at least a week.
And because his soul had been temporarily separated, No. 1 would lose his five senses throughout the entire execution.
This was equivalent to being confined.
Anyone who had never truly experienced confinement would never know how terrifying it was, and what No. 1 was suffering now was torment countless times deeper than that.
Because he could still perceive the pain.
The pain of gradually falling apart from body to soul.
This was the punishment Link had given No. 1, and Link sincerely wished that No. 1 could hold on for a long time.
Preferably until the very last moment.
Only then could his revenge reach a perfect conclusion!
Unfortunately, No. 1 still disappointed Link's expectations.
The Fiendfyre punishment had only lasted for less than five days when No. 1's soul had already lost the ability to scream. His expression became dull, and he gave up all resistance.
This caused the Fiendfyre to burn his soul even more thoroughly and rapidly.
It also caused his soul and body to completely turn to ashes on the morning of the sixth day, leaving behind only a mass of pure King's Blood and a wooden box wrapped in layer upon layer of protective spells, still floating in the air.
"You really have disappointed me!"
Link shook his head helplessly.
Compared to six days ago, his emotions had calmed considerably, and this also made him begin to regret using such a crude method to deal with No. 1.
Although burning him directly with Fiendfyre could inflict pain on No. 1 with the greatest efficiency, the speed was simply too fast.
If Link were to do it now, he would definitely imprison No. 1, carefully study his mind, then torture his will and beliefs from the root. Finally, he would subject him to execution by Fiendfyre, making him suffer the most brutal punishment in terms of will, soul, and body!
But now, saying all that was already too late.
It could only be said that No. 1 had gotten off lightly.
Link raised his head with regret and looked at No. 1's 'remains.'
That mass of King's Blood impatiently rushed into Link's body.
Its arrival did not give Link much of a reaction.
After all, the total amount of King's Blood inside Link's body was simply too enormous. Compared to it, what remained from No. 1 was truly insignificant.
However, after absorbing this mass of King's Blood, Link vaguely gained a feeling.
That was, all the King's Blood in this world had probably already gathered within him.
As for the wooden box.
With a thought from Link, the hundreds of layers of protective spells placed upon it rapidly melted away like snow beneath the blazing sun.
Soon, the wooden box opened, and the folded Invisibility Cloak inside entered his view.
Link nodded in satisfaction.
With the Invisibility Cloak in place, the three Deathly Hallows were truly complete.
Thinking this, Link took out the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand as well.
The Resurrection Stone was still placed inside a ring box, and Link did not even want to touch it.
He knew very well how sinister this thing was.
Throughout history, almost everyone who used it and became fascinated by its effects had died unnatural deaths.
So even if Dumbledore had not warned him, he would not use the Resurrection Stone.
In Link's eyes, the Resurrection Stone was merely an item used to perform a ritual.
And the Resurrection Stone itself clearly did not possess anything like intelligence. Ever since it appeared, it had maintained this form and had never changed.
As for the Elder Wand, it was somewhat different.
The moment this legendary wand made from elder wood and Thestral tail hair was grasped by Link, it began trembling violently, and a series of blazing flames even erupted from its tip.
Link could clearly sense the emotions of this legendary wand at this moment.
It was in a state of extreme excitement.
Because the one holding it now was the strongest wizard it had sensed in its thousand years of existence!
It could not wait to be used by Link and cast magic!
Link could even sense that it was urging him to give Dumbledore a Killing Curse or some other offensive spell, because only then would the right to use it truly fall into Link's hands.
Unfortunately, Link had no intention of using it.
More precisely, with Link's current strength, he no longer needed a magic amplifier such as a wand to assist him in casting spells.
The reason he still used the ebony wand was simply because he was sentimental about it.
As for the Elder Wand, like the Resurrection Stone, it was merely a tool for performing the ritual.
Whoosh!
After taking a long breath, under Link's control, the Resurrection Stone and Elder Wand joined together with the Invisibility Cloak, forming a symbol representing the three Deathly Hallows in the air.
The moment the symbol took shape, Link could sense the King's Blood within his body inexplicably becoming restless.
Crimson divine light appeared for the first time without Link actively summoning it, merging with the three Deathly Hallows.
Boom!
An open crimson doorway slowly emerged amid the eruption of enormous energy.
Link could clearly sense a brutal, crazed aura continuously surging out from within the doorway.
It was as if something were sealed inside.
This aura was somewhat similar to the King's Blood, yet it was purer, more primal, and wilder than the King's Blood.
In theory, the true power of this aura should be stronger than that of the King's Blood alone.
But in reality, the moment these auras spilling out from the doorway came into contact with the crimson divine light covering Link's body, they rapidly melted away like snow crashing into flames.
This was enough to prove that Link's King's Blood had a powerful restraining effect against whatever was inside the doorway.
Such a strange scene made Link frown deeply.
Should he go inside or not?
