The end of the rules of the soul is the rule of death - this is what Maka always thought. So after discovering that Halbo was always obsessed with studying the rules of the soul, Maka believed that what Halbo was pursuing was to control death and gain eternal life.
However, he had another guess.
He believes that the power called "love" that Dumbledore told him when he mentioned the locked room in the Department of Mysteries can also be a "sin" in nature. And since the major branches of the soul rules also represent "sin", what is the connection between the "laws of love" and the "rules of the soul"
Of course, because the former point of view is supported by a passage from Haierbo, the latter point is entirely Maka's own conjecture. So at least before today, he had no intention of changing his original idea.
However, if he confirmed the latter speculation today through some means and with the power in the room of the Department of Mysteries, then he seems to have to reconsider Haierbo's real goal.
That guy... really wants to master the rules of death? Or does he actually have other purposes
While thinking this, Maka has already mobilized the power of the two soul rules that are now gradually becoming balanced. Two rule runes appeared together in front of him. Two rules powers with different expressions but harmonious nature were rushing towards the black door under his urging.
Yes, it is the combined power of two "big sins" - pride and lust. The former is contrary to love, but the latter is complementary to love. If we say that love can also be sin, it will inevitably echo this mixed sin.
But to be honest, Maka didn't really want her guess to come true.
but…
"Responsive."
Maka, who was feeling carefully while releasing the power of the rules, suddenly noticed that the power behind the "door" suddenly became more and more turbulent.
This feeling is not easy to describe. If you have to use words to describe it, it would be "reconciling".
"I finally understand how Dumbledore eliminated so many living corpses in an instant and saved Hermione." Maka couldn't help but murmured while sensing this change.
In fact, if the power in the room could "dissolve" the power of his soul rules, he would certainly not be too surprised. However, if its essence is "reconciliation", its nature is completely different.
In other words, "love" and "sin"...may come from the same source. The two complement each other and can even transform into each other under certain unknown conditions!
"It turns out... it's really like this," Maka's expression became more and more serious, and she finally settled down with a frown on her face, "Between the rules of the soul and the rules of death, there is a mountain of love... This It is an obstacle that Haierbo could not overcome despite his whole life. So... his purpose cannot be the rule of death, because there is no so-called shortcut between the two."
Thinking this way, he was in a trance for a moment, and even forgot that he was still releasing the soul rules to activate the majestic power behind the black door.
Then suddenly, the energy that overflowed when the two reconciled with each other overwhelmed him.
"Oops."
As soon as he sensed something was wrong, Maka immediately wanted to give up and withdraw, but unexpectedly the energy that engulfed him did not cause any substantial damage to him.
However, scenes of memories that he had always suppressed in his heart were passing through his mind at this moment, causing a feeling of sadness to surge into his heart instantly.
He hesitated silently for a few seconds with some nostalgia, and then finally took the initiative to cancel the two soul rule runes, and then subconsciously took a step back.
"Mr. MacLean?"
In Maka's opinion, this period of time may have been a long time, but in the eyes of Sarah on the side, he just stayed in front of the door for a short while.
"It's okay," Maka calmed down and suppressed the still turbulent emotions, "Let me rest for a while, and then after I collect some of the power here, we can go back."
Having said this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the black door again, then shook his head and said:
"Because, I have got the 'thing' I want... Although, the whole process and the result don't make me feel very good."
By the way, the decision to let Harry and the others go back immediately was indeed the right one - Maka didn't say this, but it was lingering in his mind right now.
…
Luna may have known "part" of Maka's encounter at the British Ministry of Magic, but Hermione obviously had no way of knowing.
Moreover, she probably doesn't have the time to know now.
Belgium, last night’s dinner palace.
After a night of hustle and bustle, the place has returned to its usual tranquility. It was early in the morning, and except for some wizards who were cleaning, there was no one else.
And right at the back entrance of the palace, Hermione, who had just returned from Weymouth, was having a hurried conversation with Madame Maxime and the old housekeeper of Blois.
"Mr. Housekeeper, Madam Maxime," Hermione was weakly holding on to the wall because she had overused the gravity rules before, but her speaking speed did not slow down at all, "there has suddenly been another wave of zombies in Weymouth. The current situation is It's a bit serious... Although I temporarily used some means to temporarily stop their advance, that is by no means a long-term option. Judging from the situation on the scene, I think the Muggle army may be more suitable to deal with the current situation."
"Muggle army?" Maxim frowned when he heard this, "More reliable than magic?"
"Yes," Hermione said seriously, "Let's not talk about the future situation for the time being, let's just talk about this time - most of the zombies in this zombie wave are ordinary ones, it is just a matter of quantity. Harry They have been resisting there for a while, and judging from the results of the battle, Muggle weapons can cause effective damage to them."
If it were an army composed of batches of evolved zombies, it would definitely be difficult for the Muggle army to deal with it, but ordinary zombies were a completely different matter. The Muggle army, which possesses a large number of weapons of mass destruction, can make up for the disadvantage of a small number of wizards to a certain extent.
In the absence of Mr. Blois, asking the Muggle military to assist should be a very effective solution.
"I know," the old butler thought for a while, then nodded quickly, "I'm going to meet with the president, and I think he will agree because of circumstances and reasons, but -"
After pondering for a moment, he then asked naturally:
"Miss Granger, where is the head of the family? He... hasn't come back?"
