Chapter 285 - Chapter 286: Are you afraid of sky-impeding earthquakes?

"A Curse of Slaying of this level can't harm me."

Facing the Curse of Slaying Lord Voldemort shot at him, Adam didn't dodge or resist at all.

Because Lord Voldemort's Curse of Slaying simply couldn't harm him.

Not to mention he was currently controlling Harry's body, and Harry already had a part of Lord Voldemort's soul. Even if he were hit by the Curse of Slaying, it would first kill Lord Voldemort's soul.

Even without Lord Voldemort's soul to take the hit, Lord Voldemort's Curse of Slaying still couldn't harm him.

The Curse of Slaying is an unblockable curse in the Wizarding World, primarily harming the soul, with a magical effect of certain death upon impact. Thus, it is known as an Unforgivable Curse and prohibited by the Ministry of Magic.

But the premise is that the power gap between Wizards isn't particularly large.

Fake Moody had mentioned in class that if a first or second-year Wizard cast the Curse of Slaying at him, he might only get a nosebleed.

So, the "certain death" effect generally refers to its use between adult Wizards.

And the gap between Lord Voldemort and him was far, far greater than that between a young Wizard and an adult Wizard.

While Lord Voldemort's Curse of Slaying was formidable to other Wizards, it couldn't even cause a nosebleed to Adam.

They were simply not on the same level.

"How is that possible?"

Seeing Adam completely unharmed after being hit head-on by his Curse of Slaying, Lord Voldemort fell into self-doubt.

He had failed to kill Harry when he cast the Curse of Slaying on him as a baby, and now, casting the Curse of Slaying at Harry again, it still had no effect.

Could it really be as the prophecy said?

Lord Voldemort publicly claimed not to believe in the prophecy, but in reality, he cared about it deeply.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically gone to kill Harry after learning of it, and remained obsessed with Harry after his resurrection.

Adam paid no attention to Lord Voldemort's attack. After casting a Sonorus Charm on himself, he addressed Lord Voldemort's army below:

"I am Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort's nemesis, the Boy Who Lived.

Now, I give you thirty seconds to consider. Put down your wands and weapons obediently. Do not resist!"

There weren't many Wizards in the Wizarding World to begin with, and among these Death Eaters, aside from a few truly evil Dark Wizards, many were actually ordinary Wizards swayed by pure-blood rhetoric or unable to endure the various restrictions of the Statute of Secrecy.

If he killed them directly, it would be a crippling blow to the entire Wizarding World.

He certainly hoped the Wizarding World would develop well, with more births and more children, the more people the better.

Because only then could there be more excellent Wizards to research more excellent magic.

"Harry Potter, isn't he dead?"

"It's really Harry Potter, he's actually alive!"

"He's the Boy Who Lived."

Hearing Adam's words, some in Lord Voldemort's forces immediately wavered.

Lord Voldemort's reputation spread throughout the Wizarding World; even after his death, many Wizards dared not speak his name, referring to him as You-Know-Who.

Similarly, Harry Potter, who killed Lord Voldemort, also held very strong prestige in the Wizarding World.

Lord Voldemort's ability to gather such a large number of Death Eaters worldwide over the past five years was largely due to Harry Potter's supposed death.

Now, Harry Potter was apparently not dead and had returned.

Naturally, many Wizards began to waver.

However, limited by fear of Lord Voldemort, they dared not make a move.

"What about Harry Potter? You know the consequences of failure. With me, failure means only death!"

Seeing his subordinates begin to waver, Lord Voldemort immediately became ferocious.

But the effect was also very obvious. With the sixty-plus Death Eaters executed yesterday as an example, all Death Eaters were immediately scared into silence.

Adam merely smiled at the sight:

"Oh, it seems you fear this noseless one more than me.

Then I'll say it again: put down your wands and weapons, or all of you will die now!"

His Rinnegan rotated, and a powerful ocular power erupted:

"Planetary Devastation!"

A meteor, more than ten times larger than the one Uchiha Madara summoned, was pulled down from the Universe.

The meteor was so massive that even the Sun in the sky was blocked by the approaching meteor, and the entire World plunged into darkness.

"W-what is that?"

All Wizards and intelligent magical creatures were simultaneously stunned by the meteor appearing in the sky.

If such a large meteor were to fall, all of them would be crushed into meat paste; even the strongest defensive magic couldn't stop it.

Some Death Eaters tried to Apparate away, only to remember that Apparition was impossible here.

Because from the very beginning, to prevent any Hogwarts Wizards from escaping, Lord Voldemort had them cover the entire area with Anti-Apparition Charms.

Dumbledore was stalling for time, waiting for the allied Wizards and Adam to appear. Lord Voldemort was also stalling for time, waiting for his Death Eaters to finish setting up the large-scale Anti-Apparition Charms.

However, now, those Anti-Apparition Charms had become the last wall blocking their escape.

Facing the increasingly close meteor, some timid Wizards had already wet themselves.

The Giants, Werewolves, and Acromantulas were also similarly terrified. They all possessed intelligence no less than humans and naturally knew what their fate would be if such a large meteor fell.

They joined Lord Voldemort because they wanted their species to be given a higher status after Lord Voldemort ruled the Wizarding World.

They never expected to be wiped out as a group now.

The Wizards on Hogwarts' side were also greatly frightened. They had never seen such magic, nor had they imagined Harry Potter could be so powerful.

"This is impossible, how can there be such magic!"

Lord Voldemort stared at the meteor that blotted out the sky, muttering incessantly.

Such terrifying magic was simply unheard of, never recorded in history.

How could a mere Harry Potter use such a terrifying magic.

"This is so cool!"

Hermione and Ron next to him were filled with excitement, because they knew that this one meteor alone could end the war.

They had originally thought Adam's instant defeat of over sixty Death Eaters in Grimmauld Place was strong enough, but they never expected Adam's true strength to far exceed their imagination.

Only Dumbledore's face showed some worry.

With his extensive knowledge, he felt that if such a large meteor really fell, not only would Lord Voldemort's subordinates be completely annihilated, but the aftermath might also affect the entire Hogwarts.

Even if Hogwarts was protected by a Super Shield Charm, it was uncertain whether it could withstand the aftermath.

Moreover, he did not wish to see the Wizarding World suddenly lose so many Wizards.

"Adam, calm down. I don't think it has to be this way. Many of them were actually swayed by Lord Voldemort."
