"Galleons! It's Galleons!"
Countless dazzling lights were reflected in the eyes of the masses.
In mid-air, they glittered brilliantly.
Like a blessing sprinkled by elves, they were even more blindingly bright than the sunlight.
The people went completely mad! Hands shot up, holding hats, desperately reaching upwards to catch them.
Faces were overflowing with ecstatic smiles!
"Ah! What base and vulgar wealth... Let this storm strike more violently!"
"Thank you for Ethan's gift! Merlin! Give the Ministry of Magic ten thousand years, and those misers wouldn't do something like this!"
"Ethan! We will follow you forever!"
In that instant...
The bombing of Gringotts, the so-called "terrorist art"...
All the demonic deeds Ethan had once committed melted away completely in this dazzling golden light!
—Rebellion? Nonsense... This was clearly the seed of light and hope!
Could the Ministry of Magic ever do this?!
"Incredible..."
The Auror Captain couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Gazing at the golden rain of Galleons, he had to exert a great deal of effort to suppress the urge to go up and grab some himself.
"First, use words to stir up the people's emotions, exposing the improper dealings between the Ministry and Gringotts... Finally, use practical action to show everyone who their true partner is."
"In just a few minutes, he has firmly grasped the hearts of the crowd."
"He turned an 'attack' completely around into an 'act of justice'!"
Even if others wanted to replicate this, they wouldn't have Ethan's breadth of mind.
I'm afraid the average person, upon seeing that massive wealth in the vault, would think of how to claim it for themselves as their first priority.
"Sigh," the Auror let out a breath, shaking his head in admiration. He laughed, "Truly a madman... and also, the greatest genius!"
"Alright lads, let's wrap it up, this isn't something we can handle—Huh? What are you doing?!"
He looked around only to see his companions had long since rushed into the crowd like monkeys.
They were waving their hats, "sharing the joy with the people."
Hearing his voice, one turned his head.
Grinning with a set of pearly white teeth that he hadn't managed to retract yet, he excitedly said, "Huh? What did you say, Cap?"
That smile, illuminated by the reflection of gold, looked exceptionally blinding in the Auror Captain's eyes.
Auror Captain: "..."
"You... you lot—wait! I want some too!!"
[Your act of generosity has greatly inspired the masses!]
[The world calls it———Golden Wind!]
Ethan: Hm?
Is the "Golden" in Golden Wind literal?
It feels like something is off... forget it, this must be a compliment to me.
Ethan puffed out his chest proudly and curled the corners of his mouth.
Watching him, Luna felt an itch in her heart.
She couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching Ethan's cheek.
Ron: "...How long are we going to be force-fed this lovey-dovey stuff?"
Can't you respect the rights of single people?!
Dammit!!
[Lamp Brightness Increased]
[New Hidden Location Illuminated: The Spider Door!]
[Congratulations! Unlocked the second condition for promoting to "Immortal": Pass through the Spider Door]
[The Spider Door: Also known as the Door of Blood, or the Door of Betrayal. You must sacrifice the complete flesh and blood of a believer to feed the ticks clinging to the door before you can ascend.]
[Note: Only Immortals can unlock Painting Level 4]
[Master the power to draw "God-Slaying Weapons"!]
—God-Slaying Weapons!
Ethan's breath hitched.
His heart skipped a beat at that word.
If he had to kill a god, it would naturally be the "Grim Reaper" who controlled fate!
"There are two conditions to promote to an Immortal: first, defeat the incarnation of fate; second, offer the flesh and blood of a believer..."
"It seems that no matter how you look at it, I have to sacrifice two people."
And the second person must be someone who believes in him.
Ethan's cobalt-blue eyes glanced sideways at the faces around him.
His gaze was dark and dim.
"What's wrong, Ethan?"
A soft voice called Ethan's mind back.
Ethan's pupils trembled slightly as they landed on Luna, whose face was full of concern.
The blonde girl's face was pure, her heart like a clear mirror, holding nothing back.
In her eyes, there was total trust in him.
Right.
This was an incredibly clear answer.
Ethan grinned and raised his hand.
His fingers lightly brushed the stray hair by Luna's cheek, making her shoulders tremble as she laughed from the ticklish sensation.
"I have a absolutely brilliant idea, Luna..."
"Let us... brainwash sinners!"
Ethan's eyes widened in excitement.
They were sparkling.
He spoke rapidly:
"That's right! Why didn't I think of this before?"
"We can brainwash those Dark Wizards and turn them all into our believers!"
Let them "voluntarily" sacrifice themselves for us, to shine and burn!
Wouldn't that satisfy the sacrifice requirements of the Spider Door?
The ascetic just needs to sacrifice; it's the Door that has to deal with the logistics.jpg
Ethan felt like he had missed out on a billion Galleons before.
He sighed repeatedly in frustration!
—He had just killed them directly before, using the light of justice to exterminate those evil souls.
"Merlin, I sent quite a bit of trouble your way in one go earlier. From now on, I will let them burn themselves out first."
Ethan closed his eyes.
He muttered piously.
This sudden display of madness terrified the club members.
Ron said in horror, "Who provoked him again—no, who gave him inspiration this time?!"
Aren't we just standing here normally?
Where did the inspiration even come from?
Among the group of little quails huddled together...
Only Luna remained as immovable as a mountain.
She looked at Ethan, whose facial features were flying all over the place from excitement, and pondered for a moment.
She raised her hand and ruffled Ethan's hair a few times, saying:
"Good boy, good boy... evil spirits go away..."
She earned looks of admiration from all the club members.
"Mmm so composed"
Hermione bit her lip, mumbling unwillingly.
She also wanted to hold Ethan in her arms and ruffle his head!
Hmph!
On the other side.
Ethan contemplated inwardly: First, kill the Child of Fate; second, find a physically strong Dark Wizard to brainwash...
Hmm, the candidate is very important.
Don't want them exploding halfway through the brainwashing process—
Just then.
Suddenly.
Ethan's pupils constricted!
He abruptly pulled away from Luna's gentle embrace!
The wand in his hand transformed into a paintbrush, and he slashed it through the air with awe-inspiring force!
Whoosh—!
A streak of dark blue pigment cutting across the sky suddenly appeared above everyone's heads!
It was as if a strike had torn through space!
Revealing the deep night sky behind it.
The next second!
BOOM!!!
A ball of blazing fire, like a cascading waterfall, brazenly crashed into the pigment!
Blue and red intertwined.
Erupting with brilliant radiance!
It presented a magnificent scene, like burning stars!
The people who were stuffing Galleons into their pockets froze instantly.
They looked up, stunned and dazed, gazing at this profound image that could almost be called beautiful.
It wasn't until that ball of fire roared and rose up...
Transforming into a massive, ferocious giant snake.
Only then did the crowd violently react!
They screamed out:
"Merlin's golden dentures! That's the Fiendfyre Curse!!"
—Fiendfyre, an extremely powerful piece of advanced Dark Magic.
Its power was second only to the three Unforgivable Curses.
The fire possessed intense uncontrollability; it would continuously multiply and mimic the form of monsters.
In the original stories, it was also one of the few magics capable of destroying Horcruxes.
"...Wait, did that child just block the Fiendfyre with a single hit?"
The Auror paused, discovering the crucial point.
He looked in astonishment at the black-haired boy standing atop the dome.
A sense of admiration involuntarily rose in his heart.
...It seemed that whether it was words or money...
The thing that played the key role...
Was still that unrivaled power.
Auror: "Mission change! Evacuate the crowd! Protect the civilians! Don't let that Dark Wizard hurt a single person!"
"Yes sir!"
The Aurors were shaken, and a determined light shone in their eyes.
Their original duty was never to be errand boys for the Ministry!
With the help of the Aurors, the people quickly retreated from the center of the battlefield.
Ethan withdrew his gaze.
He tilted his head, looking at the figure behind the raging flames—
Bellatrix Lestrange!
Heh.
Speak of the Dark Wizard, and the Dark Wizard arrives.
The corners of Ethan's lips hooked up slightly as he thought:
The sacrificial offering for the Door of Promotion... hasn't it just delivered itself to my doorstep?
