Chapter 165 - Distance and Secrets Have No Meaning

Creatures born under the magic of Conceptual Creation, Thought Dream Shadows.

Besides Interstellar Communication and acting as a signal repeater, Roger had developed another application for them.

For example, by putting half of his brain to sleep, he could instantly project a Dream Shadow to the side of the person he was thinking of, and then, using the connection between the Dream Shadow and himself as a coordinate, grab and Apparate.

Although limited by the casting range of Apparition, interstellar teleportation was not yet possible.

But within the range of a city, Roger could completely traverse time and space to bring anyone he wanted to see before him!

Unless there was magic around him that prohibited Apparition, like Hogwarts, but even then, it would only be slightly troublesome for Roger.

Aside from the Three Unforgivable Curses, all current magic had countermeasures.

"Hmm? Why aren't you all talking?" Roger said with a smile.

Roger had chosen the Minister's office at the Ministry of Magic as the meeting place for his own considerations.

Just as Dumbledore did not want the political struggle to escalate, nor did he want to get involved and overturn the table, Roger had similar intentions. However, Roger and Dumbledore were different; Roger purely intended to wait a year or two until his divine powers were perfected and he could reshuffle everything.

There was no need to rush for trivial matters and disrupt his own rhythm.

"...We are not targeting you." Seeing that none of the people who had been 'grabbed' around him were speaking, one of the senior Ministry officials reluctantly spoke.

He was the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, and one of the leaders among this group.

Although Roger appeared to be only a 12-year-old child and his administrative rank within the Ministry of Magic was not as high as his, he still lowered his head and replied in an almost deferential manner.

This was the wizarding world; ordinary reason and law were truly just decorations once one's wand was strong enough.

He, who was usually responsible for handling 'disasters' in the wizarding world, knew this all too well.

The greatest disasters in the wizarding world were sometimes the powerful wizards themselves.

"But what you are planning to do is targeting me. Even if your core motive is not to be my enemy, your actions are harming my interests."

Roger was referring to the political faction's desire to restrict the development of Virtual Reality technology, using it as a stage to engage in a remote battle with another political faction on the Board of Directors.

Roger noticed that their expressions were very grim.

This was quite normal. A group of pampered individuals, who were usually leisurely drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, or handling their own work, were suddenly brought here by an irresistible force to be questioned.

Even though the location was the Minister's office, a relatively 'familiar' place, it was impossible not to be nervous.

"...Don't be afraid. This time, under the witness of Minister Fudge, we are just going to discuss matters related to my work as the Director of the Virtual Reality Management Office."

"If there are any problems, we can discuss them slowly," Roger said in a friendly tone.

...

'When you grabbed us, your methods were not at all like you wanted to discuss!' one of the Ministry officials thought to himself.

The middle-aged wizard official lowered his head, not daring to meet Roger's gaze.

Because he knew there was a magic called Legilimency, which could perceive the other person's thoughts through eye contact.

Wizards who entered administrative positions were often not very powerful, but those who could enter the Ministry of Magic had all achieved good academic results.

They were elites among wizards, but they were not at the level of top wizards like Snape or McGonagall.

A person's energy was limited; it was impossible to dedicate oneself to politics and still have much time for other things.

Moreover, the magic here was quite idealistic; one could not become stronger by relying on resources and potions.

"I just believe that doing so will allow everyone to face the problem more calmly." As soon as the thought of the man fell, Roger turned his gaze towards him.

"And having everyone gathered here also allows for more effective communication."

Hearing this, the middle-aged official suddenly looked up, and then he saw Roger's eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

A pale white radiance emanated from Roger, and a pressure caused by a difference in life status began to descend.

He continued, "I did not intend to pry into your minds."

"I just want to show you that if I wanted to, there would be no one who could hide their secrets from me."

"Distance would also be meaningless."

"As long as I want, even if you escape Earth, I can find you. Any conspiracy or scheme would be an uninteresting joke."

"So, let's abandon those convoluted ways and communicate in a more honest manner."

Roger placed his hands on the shoulders of the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes and met his gaze. "I have no intention of participating in any political struggles, nor do I like conflict. Even so, do you still want to be my enemy?"

Gazing into Roger's eyes, the Director said, "I also do not wish to offend you, a Seer, but you are in the same camp as them. If you achieve great success, they will inevitably gain immense benefits and prestige."

"At that time, our fate would likely not be good. We were forced into this."

Since Roger had laid his cards on the table so openly, he decided not to hold back either.

These were his true thoughts.

The Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes had not known before that Roger's strength had reached such an outrageous level.

Standing before him now, he felt his legs go weak.

It was not cowardice, but an instinctive reaction of a weaker life form encountering a stronger one.

In his impression, Roger was still a 'young wizard with potential'.

The incorrect information led him to make the wrong decision.

But fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

"Since you came specifically for this matter, you should still discuss it with us."

"Then please, Seer, show us the way. We just want to live our own lives."

The other companions in this room were filled with fear, just as they had once feared Voldemort.

Trembling under the wand of a Wizard who held their lives and deaths in his hands.

But the Director did not. He even felt a sense of relief, grateful to be speaking directly with Roger before everything became irreversible.

Since there was still room for discussion, the Director decided to hand over the choice to Roger.

He had heard about some of Roger's past experiences. If Roger's personality hadn't changed much in the past year or so, then he probably wouldn't leave him with a 'dead end'.

With Roger around, his hope of suppressing those people on the Board of Directors was likely zero.

As long as his own faction didn't 'vanish into thin air', he'd consider it a win!
