On the other side of the battlefield, Voldemort and Harry, the fateful opponents, met as expected, while Hermione and Ron faced Nagini.
When Tom searched here, Harry and Voldemort had already moved to another battlefield, and Nagini just threw Ron, who was attacking with snake fangs, towards Hermione, ready to launch the final attack on the two.
Seeing this, Neville wielded the Gryffindor sword and went forward to kill Nagini, but suddenly he felt a huge force coming at him and knocked him away instantly. At the same time, a high wall was erected in front of Nagini to block his attack.
Tom slowly stepped into the field from the edge. In the eyes of Hermione and Ron who looked at him in disbelief, he looked at the two of them and reminded them: "I am not your enemy now."
Seeing Ron take out his wand and point it at him, Tom used a Disarming Charm to knock his wand away, and his tone became even colder: "Don't move, don't let me do it. If it happens again, it won't be as simple as a Disarming Charm."
Ron was about to do something but was stopped by Hermione.
Ignoring the small movements of the two people over there, Tom slowly walked towards Nagini.
Nagini hissed at Tom as he approached, and bit him at lightning speed. Her movements were fast, but unfortunately Tom's movements were even faster. Before Nagini could move, he turned the surrounding stones into ropes and tied her up tightly.
Faced with the desperately struggling Nagini, Tom did not waste time and directly threw a Soul Furnace at her.
The light rushed towards Nagini, and Tom stared at it intently. Whether his guess was correct depended on this.
And the fact is just as Tom guessed, the moment the light touched Nagini, Voldemort's soul fragments were pulled out, and like the previous times, they were wrapped and destroyed. And this time, it was not only Voldemort's fragments, but also Nagini's soul.
Unlike the wailing soul fragments of Voldemort, the human-shaped soul shadow of Nagini was bathed in golden light as if it had been purified and redeemed. Tom even heard a gentle female voice faintly in his ears: "Thank you!"
After a while, the light dissipated, and Nagini, whose soul was freed, left behind a lifeless body. Voldemort's soul fragments and consciousness were also erased in the light. Tom looked deeply at Nagini's body and expressed his last wish to her: "I hope you don't have to suffer so much in that world, and I hope you can reunite with Credence." Then he grabbed the pure white substance left by Voldemort.
After absorbing it in the same way, Tom found that the magic level in the system panel had become 8+. He looked at the countdown panel again and saw that there were still 13 minutes left. He said "see you later" to Hermione and the other two who were watching the show in a daze, and hurried towards the square.
At this time, Harry has gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with Voldemort in the square. Voldemort, who has lost his last Horcrux and whose old wand is no longer able to exert its power against its master, is about to reach the end of the story. The red light of Harry's disarming spell is gradually rebounding the green light of the killing curse and moving closer to Voldemort.
Just as Harry was trying his best, he suddenly heard a voice shouting "Avada Kedavra!". He caught a glimpse of a familiar green light coming at him from the corner of his eye, and he was so scared that his soul was about to die.
Just as Harry was about to close his eyes and wait for death, the killing curse did not hit him. The green flash passed by him and hit Voldemort who was fighting against him with all his strength.
Voldemort, who was cursed with the Killing Curse, suddenly lost his life, turned into ashes and dissipated in the air. The Elder Wand also returned to the hands of his real owner, Harry.
"Expelliarmus!"
Just when Harry relaxed a little, the red light of the Disarming Spell hit him, and the Old Wand he had just obtained flew out of his hand.
Tom, the instigator of all this, walked out of the darkness with elegant steps and picked up the old wand on the ground.
The moment Tom got the Elder Wand, he felt an incredible power surging from the wand into his body. The feeling of being one with the wand made him truly feel that he had become the master of the Elder Wand.
Harry stared at Tom with a vigilant look and asked sharply, "Voldemort, what do you want to do?"
"I'm not going to do anything, Harry." Tom looked at Harry's attitude with some amusement, "Besides, I'm not Voldemort, I'm just Tom Riddle."
Harry frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"
In the face of Harry's questions, Tom was always patient: "Voldemort is Tom Riddle, but Tom Riddle may not be Voldemort."
Glancing at the countdown that had 10 seconds left, and seeing more and more people gathering around him, Tom put the Elder Wand into the storage space and saluted Harry slightly:
"Goodbye, Harry Potter, and good morning, good afternoon, and good night."
As the countdown reached zero, Tom heard the system voice of "Mission Accomplished" in his mind. Just like when he came, the orange vortex swallowed him up, and he disappeared on the spot in the incredulous gaze of Harry and the others.
In the utility room of the Room of Requirement, Cassandra paced back and forth anxiously.
"What should I do? What should I do? The Dark Lord just disappeared like that. Should I ask for help? No, I can't ask for help for this kind of thing. And if the Dark Lord comes back and finds no one waiting for him, will he be angry with me?"
Ever since Tom suddenly disappeared in the vortex of orange light an hour ago, she didn't dare to ask the teacher for help, nor did she dare to leave easily. She could only wait anxiously there alone.
Just when Cassandra was at a loss, a flash of orange light suddenly appeared in the dim room.
The crystal that disappeared with Tom appeared again, and then an orange vortex spit him out. As Tom appeared, the crystal disappeared out of thin air without any warning in front of Cassandra.
Seeing Tom return, Cassandra hurried forward to support him. Seeing his dusty face, she asked with concern, "Are you okay? What happened just now? Are you injured?"
Tom slowly stood up with the help of Cassandra: "It's okay, I'm not hurt, I just went to kill a Voldemort."
Cassandra was full of questions when faced with Tom's Versailles-like speech. What did it mean to kill Voldemort? Besides, Voldemort was Tom himself.
Seeing the confusion on Cassandra's face, Tom didn't want to explain and just smiled at her.
After carefully checking the storage space and panel, Tom discovered that the old wand he got from that world was brought back to this world, and the 8+ magic power on the panel was also retained.
"It is the parallel world as expected. It seems that this bug has been successfully solved."
Tom stood up contentedly, ready to take Cassandra away, when he suddenly felt dizzy.
The tiredness brought by relaxing the tense nerves on the battlefield and the discomfort caused by the continuous increase in magic power made Tom's eyes go dark and his body fell limp in Cassandra's arms.
