Roger had anticipated various possibilities before coming to the Ministry of Magic.
The other party had thrown the question back to him.
This was also one of the many possibilities Roger had foreseen.
So, upon hearing his question, Roger didn't hesitate and directly presented the answer he had prepared.
"The world is vast, and the wizard civilization, even human civilization, will face unprecedented changes in a millennium," Roger said, simultaneously using the power of magic to transmit some information directly into the other person's mind.
When Roger first enrolled at Hogwarts, he could resolve conflicts between Ron and Hermione using a similar method.
Now, his technique was even more powerful, not even requiring direct contact.
"I never mind more people joining in."
Following that, scenes began to play out in everyone's minds.
It was the Hogwarts professors on the moon researching the differences between the moon and Earth in terms of magic.
It was Roger in the virtual world attempting to create a new life form.
It was countless 'Rogers' in the river of time gazing at each other, and...
What Roger showed them was only a small, less sensitive portion of the information he could reveal.
But Roger felt it was enough.
"It's not just virtual reality; there are many things I am doing, and even more I plan to do in the future."
"If you can also help, we can absolutely cooperate."
Roger's time in the Middle East was not smooth sailing. Besides fighting on two fronts against Iraq and the United States, there were also some individuals within Kuwait who were unhappy with the expansion of Roger's influence, as well as some religious figures who viewed Roger as an 'heretic.'
Roger's method of dealing with them at the time was also very simple.
For irreconcilable conflicts, he would directly 'resolve' them, while for those with less deep-seated conflicts...
Finding a way to turn them into 'one of us' was a better approach.
Although these political bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic were not very powerful, they were quite useful to Roger.
Once the Three-Dimensional Law was made public in the next year or two, all sorts of things were bound to happen. Although Roger was strong, he was only one person, and it was impossible for him to focus all his energy on suppressing riots.
As the saying goes, everyone has their specialty, and that would be the time for the Ministry of Magic to step in.
Therefore, Roger did not want the Ministry of Magic to descend into chaos for some inexplicable reason at this juncture.
Following that, a discussion began.
"One-thirty," Roger said, glancing at his watch before leaving.
Then, he said to Professor McGonagall beside him, "It's a little faster than I anticipated."
Roger arrived at the Ministry of Magic at 1:00 PM and went to Fudge's office at 1:05 PM.
At 1:07 PM, in less than two minutes, the other party had already caved and surrendered.
After all, Roger's strength was almost on a different dimension from theirs; how could they fight? The remaining time was basically spent on them surrendering and asking about 'treatment for surrendered generals' and similar matters.
Voldemort? Among the officials Roger had captured at the time, one of them was his puppet.
Roger had personally added some 'spice' for him.
There should be some good entertainment to watch after a while.
"Roger."
"Hmm?" As Roger reached the gilded fireplace in the Ministry's main hall, intending to return directly to Hogwarts, as Professor McGonagall had classes in the afternoon, his hand, which was about to grab the Floo powder, was held back.
"No need to rush back. How about walking with me?"
Roger looked back and instantly understood Professor McGonagall's gaze.
The walk was just an excuse; she likely had something she wanted to say to him.
"Of course," Roger did not refuse.
...
On the streets of London, cars sped by. It was a workday, and it wasn't yet time to get off work, so there weren't many pedestrians on the street.
Roger and Professor McGonagall were wearing wizard robes, but they did not attract any attention from Muggles.
Just as Roger could forge an invisibility cloak that distorted perception, he could also cast it in magical form.
"Roger, you have something on your mind."
After walking quietly on the street for a while, Professor McGonagall said.
Professor McGonagall had known Roger since he couldn't use any magic.
From a personality standpoint, Professor McGonagall might be the person who understood him best in this world.
That's why she could sense it so easily.
Roger's methods this time were a bit 'rough,' unlike his usual way of doing things.
"Mhm... there are some," Roger didn't hide it.
"Professor McGonagall, as you know, I've always been someone who fears death."
It was because he feared death that Roger kept fighting; it was because he feared death that Roger wanted to conquer death.
"I'm currently doing something very dangerous, and it's bound to have some effect, but don't worry about me. This should only be a temporary situation," Roger replied.
Nicolas Flamel's new generation Second Brain with its multi-threaded thinking was still in the research and development phase. Even he, a legendary alchemist, couldn't get results in just a few days.
But Roger's 'Time Experience Project' had already begun.
Currently, it wasn't a true implementation in the real sense, but it could be considered a warm-up.
Roger was using historical figures, leveraging the Time Phantom Shuttle Spell, to 'pry' them out of the long river of time.
He would then import the massive amount of data he'd edited from time into Virtual Reality, creating a simulated Earth.
Afterward, Roger would immerse his own consciousness within it, attempting to experience their lives from a first-person perspective.
What is life? What is the difference between people? Everyone would have different answers to these questions.
But in Roger's opinion, the difference between people lay in 'choice.'
When faced with the same problems, the same difficulties, different people would make different choices. These differences were the root of why 'I' am 'me.'
Roger wasn't experiencing other people's lives to become someone else and feel their emotions.
Instead, he wanted to immerse himself in billions upon billions of perspectives to feel the 'differences' between himself and others, to find those 'dissonant notes.'
Through this, he aimed to find his own unchanging True Spirit! The answer Roger sought was within it.
And during this process, before Roger found his answer, his actions would inevitably lead to his consciousness being influenced.
Even an ordinary Muggle, upon watching an inspirational video, would find themselves stirred with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.
Watching clips of tragedies could make them feel negative or exhibit other reactions.
Experiencing a person's entire life from a first-person perspective would certainly have an impact on Roger!
And this was just a single-threaded experience. Once Nicolas Flamel's technology matured...
Roger had always been open with Professor McGonagall.
Roger wouldn't proactively report to her, but since she had asked, Roger gave Professor McGonagall a general overview of what he was currently doing.
"This... this is too dangerous. Don't you have any other methods?!" After listening to Roger's explanation, Professor McGonagall's brow furrowed, and she couldn't help but ask.
To subject one's mind to hundreds of billions of years of time was practically courting death!
Roger wanted to be reborn from death.
But Professor McGonagall found it difficult to accept Roger's choice.
"Of course, I've considered other options," Roger wasn't someone who naturally enjoyed courting death.
"But other methods are unlikely to meet my needs."
Professor McGonagall knew Roger's personality well, so she didn't try to dissuade him from a perspective of 'danger.' Instead, she began to search through her memories for various magical knowledge, trying to find a better solution.
