Inside the magnificent Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle.
Adam controlled Harry Potter, who sat opposite Dumbledore, surrounded by members of the Order of the Phoenix, some school teachers, and officials from the International Confederation of Wizards who had rushed over.
Actually, yesterday, when Dumbledore sent out the distress signal, he used a feint.
Ostensibly, he had Hagrid release a large number of Owls to attract the attention of the Death Eaters monitoring them nearby, while secretly having Professor McGonagall transform into a tabby cat and use a secret passage to Hogsmeade to find Albus's brother.
Inside Albus's Hog's Head Inn, he had already prepared a Portkey to the International Confederation of Wizards in advance.
So, just as Lord Voldemort led his army to besiege Hogwarts, the International Confederation of Wizards' forces had already used the Portkey to secretly hide in Hogsmeade, ready to launch a pincer attack at any moment.
The reason they hadn't acted yet was twofold.
On one hand, they weren't confident; their chances of victory were less than fifty percent.
On the other hand, they were waiting for Adam, the mysterious being who could resurrect Wizards and instantly kill over sixty Death Eaters.
However, they hadn't expected Adam to be so formidable, solving the problem of Lord Voldemort alone and subjugating so many of Lord Voldemort's subordinates.
While this was undoubtedly a good thing, it was also something that sent shivers down one's spine just thinking about it.
Because the power displayed by this mysterious Adam was too immense, so strong that it surpassed Dumbledore, and even Merlin.
Such a powerful figure, saving the World now was certainly good, but if one day he decided to destroy the World, who could stop him?
Any leader, when faced with an existence like Adam, would have the same concerns; this is human nature.
Moreover, Adam was different from Dumbledore; Dumbledore was someone whose background was well-known, and his character had been thoroughly tested in all aspects, earning everyone's trust.
But Adam, a soul reportedly from another World, now occupied Harry Potter's body.
No one knew if his origin was true or false, no one knew if there were other conspiracies behind his resurrection of Harry and his parents, so they had to treat him with caution.
"Mr. Adam, on behalf of the entire Wizarding World, I thank you for your help. If you have any needs, we will do our best to fulfill them."
Dumbledore personally handed a butterbeer, magically transferred by a House-elf, to Adam.
Clearly, he was testing Adam's intentions.
And the high-ranking officials of the International Confederation of Wizards below all pricked up their ears.
Adam scanned the room, instantly understanding the thoughts of the Wizards, took a sip of the butterbeer, and then said very directly:
"If you have heard some Muggle theories, you should know that this World is not just Earth; beyond Earth lies the boundless Universe, and within the Universe are many undiscovered Worlds.
And I, I am from another World.
I will also tell you truthfully, I came to your World by possessing Harry Potter's body, and I do have my own objectives.
Not just your World, I have visited many, many Worlds using the same method.
In fact, it's all to learn the magic of different Worlds and explore the true meaning of magic.
However, I am not some benevolent old man.
I believe in repaying kindness and avenging wrongs, in equivalent exchange.
For friendly Worlds, I will do nothing, and I can even provide some appropriate help, just as I helped you solve the problem of Lord Voldemort today.
For unfriendly Worlds, for example, if they consider me a threat and try every means to kill me.
If they are greedy for my power and want to turn me into a tool in their hands.
Or if they morally blackmail me, believing that if I don't help, I am morally corrupt.
Then I wouldn't mind directly destroying that World, just like the meteor you saw today; I can also directly turn the entire Earth into countless fragments.
So, I can be both a savior and a destroyer.
It's up to your own choice, do you want to be the first, or the second kind?"
Adam stood up and smiled at the high-ranking officials of the International Confederation of Wizards below.
With his current strength, there was no need to play the pig to eat the tiger, or to develop stealthily, or to pretend to be a saint or a great hero; he could just directly announce the outcome.
If you are good, I am good, everyone is good; if you are not good, then I can only destroy you.
Anyway, you can't defeat me. No, your entire World combined can't defeat me.
The key is that even if you kill Harry Potter for the sake of the entire World, it won't work, because I can resurrect him after I arrive.
There's no need for negotiation at all.
While smiling, Adam exuded an incredibly terrifying aura, giving the impression that if they didn't answer well, he would immediately destroy the World, scaring all the Wizards present into breaking out in cold sweat.
"Mr. Adam is joking. Of course, we warmly welcome you to this World, and we absolutely have no other thoughts, wouldn't you agree, President Archimbold?"
The cunning Dumbledore reacted quickly; immediately after Adam finished speaking, he stood up and came before him, expressing his stance at the first opportunity, and giving a meaningful look to Babajide Archimbold, the current President of the International Confederation of Wizards.
Babajide Archimbold quickly wiped away his cold sweat and nodded like a pecking chicken:
"Naturally, that is natural. Our entire Wizarding World welcomes Mr. Adam's arrival. I will send all the magic books that the various Ministries of magic can collect to Mr. Adam, as our token of gratitude to you, Mr. Adam."
"President Archimbold is too polite. Since that's the case, I'll also give you some news.
Harry told me that you still haven't found the last two of Lord Voldemort's Horcrux, so I'll tell you their locations."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Adam didn't mind showing a little goodwill:
"One Horcrux is Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, located on a plaster statue in the Room of Requirement.
The other is Lord Voldemort's snake, which I have fixed at the Castle entrance.
You can destroy them using Fiendfyre, the Basilisk's fangs, or the Sword of Gryffindor.
As for the part of Lord Voldemort's soul inside Harry's body, I will help him deal with it."
Over these past five years, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix had not been without achievements.
Besides Lord Voldemort's diary, which Harry destroyed in his second year, Helga Hufflepuff's Goblet and Marvolo Gaunt's Ring had also been found and destroyed by them in succession.
"Alright, that's all for today. I have something else to do, so I'll be heading back first."
After telling them the locations of Lord Voldemort's last two Horcrux, Adam realized that his template loading time was almost up, so he directly ended the Dream Walking Technique.
And when everyone saw Harry's eyes return to normal, they all simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, slumping into their respective seats.
They felt that this Adam was a million times more terrifying than the Dark Lord Lord Voldemort!
