Chapter 512 The Final Battle is Approaching! Unlocking the SSS-Rank Special Regret - A Victory of De
About four months after Christmas.
The time came to April 1994.
Grindelwald has almost completely gathered all the dark wizards in the world, and he has also recruited as many intelligent humanoid magical creatures as possible.
As expected, they acquired over 40,000 dark wizards and approximately 10,000 humanoid magical creatures of various species.
A total of approximately 50,000 extraordinary evil forces.
Commanding such a large number of subordinates was something even Grindelwald, who once struck fear into the hearts of the international magical community, had never done before – it was like Merlin getting married.
At the peak of his conflict with Dumbledore, the Saints, including both core and peripheral members, numbered only four or five thousand, and their influence was mainly limited to the magical world in Europe and America.
Of course, his idea of wizards ruling Muggles and making wizards even greater influenced many wizards at the time. If you include wizard fans who agreed with his ideas, the number might be around 20,000 to 30,000.
Even so, compared to the more than 40,000 saints and about 10,000 monster cannon fodder that can now be directly commanded and controlled, the previous glory is undoubtedly much less impressive.
This made Grindelwald feel somewhat excited and full of vigor.
But when he thought of Dumbledore, he put aside the power that was growing in his heart.
Furthermore, he was well aware of the sheer scale of the operation and the immense probability of unforeseen events involved in taking away almost all the dark wizards in the world.
As a result, from the beginning until now, no Aurors from the Ministry of Magic of any country or any white wizard has been able to find any clues that lead back to Grindelwald and the Sorcerer Saints.
How outrageous is this?
If the White Wizard faction were so weak and easily fooled, he would already be the king of wizards and Muggles worldwide.
Furthermore, he returned to Nurmengard once in the middle of the journey, wanting to extend and strengthen his disguise techniques, only to find that the shapeshifting dummies and illusion disguises he had left behind were still very effective and could be maintained for another three to five years without any problem.
The same applies to the confusion spells cast on the wizard jailers; their duration has been extended.
You should know that the magical techniques he left behind were only supposed to last for about a year, but they inexplicably became more effective, and he couldn't see any trace of anyone else casting the spell.
How bizarre is this?
Furthermore, the massive operation of gathering most of the world's dark wizards was completed in less than two years, and he always felt that the operation was getting smoother and smoother as it progressed. He felt like he couldn't stop the progress even if he wanted to slow it down.
All these signs indicate that someone with extraordinary abilities is secretly influencing things behind the scenes.
Moreover, this person is most likely the mastermind behind the Blessing spells of the founder of Hogwarts, the one who caused Dumbledore to undergo a major change, and that outrageous little wizard named Dudley Dursley.
"I must...uh...want...uh...want...uh..."
As he was thinking, Grindelwald's thoughts suddenly stalled, and this stalling continued repeatedly.
After a while, he stopped associating the resurrection ability contained in the blessing magic of the founder of Hogwarts with Dudley himself, and instead thought about how to teach Dudley a lesson from other angles.
That's how I got out of this slump in my life.
"This is really weird!" Grindelwald sighed inwardly, then his gaze sharpened, and he continued to think, "No matter how strong or outrageous you are, you shouldn't be so close to Albus."
Furthermore, you seem to be growing increasingly confident in Hogwarts and the British wizarding world. Let me personally lead a team to verify whether your plans are truly flawless, or if you've become too complacent!
Grindelwald made a decision.
They began to send messages to Ecclesiastes and the other saints.
The order was relayed level by level, gradually reaching everyone under Grindelwald's command.
……
Inside Hogwarts, at the moment Grindelwald made up his mind to launch the final battle, Dudley heard a system notification sound that he hadn't heard in a long time.
[Due to host intervention, the SSS-level special unfortunate event - a desperate victory - has been unlocked ahead of schedule.]
[Details of the regrettable incident: The fairy tale setting contains the sorrow of sacrifice.]
In the original story, the story begins on June 24, 1995, when Cedric is killed by Peter Pettigrew on Voldemort's orders, and ends on the morning of May 2, 1998, when Voldemort is defeated and killed.
This dark period, during which Voldemort was resurrected and regained control of the British wizarding world, was marked by numerous sacrifices and unavoidable circumstances.
This Second Wizarding War, a conflict between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, between dark wizards and white wizards, ultimately resulted in a victory for the white wizards, but it was a devastating and annihilating one.
[Special Note: This special regret event is a large-scale, combined regret event. It requires resolving all regret events under the two main branches, "Sacrifice" and "Unavoidable," before it can be considered complete.]
[Category 1: Sacrifice (roughly ordered by the time of sacrifice).]
The sudden end of Cedric Diggory, the Hogwarts hero.
Sirius Black, the unruly godfather who fell from grace.

[Draco Malfoy's wavering conscience under the shackles of pureblood]
[Details: In the original story, under the shackles of corrupt purebloods and with his family's lives threatened, Draco was forced to become a Death Eater, working for Voldemort, including repairing the Vanishing Cabinet and assassinating Dumbledore.]
But driven by his conscience, he couldn't bring himself to kill Harry at the crucial moment and instead chose to cover for him.
The Twin Stars Separated by Life and Death - George Weasley
[Details: In the original story, Fred and George, twin brothers who were inseparable from birth, were separated after a fierce battle, leaving only George with a missing ear.]
From that moment on, George spent the rest of his life bathed in the damp, cold rain of losing his beloved brother. He mourned in the mirror, masked his grief with humor, played a dual role, shouldering Fred's family responsibilities, and his guardian angel could no longer be summoned… a burden he could never find peace in.
A Lonely Life Without Parents - Teddy Lupin
[Details: In the original story, Teddy Lupin is the son of Professor Lupin and Auror Nymphadora Tonks, who has the ability to disguise himself as a Magus. Because his parents were both members of the Order of the Phoenix and needed to fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters, they were absent from his life shortly after his birth.]
Later, both Lupin and his wife were killed in battle, leaving Teddy Lupin an orphan.
[The Gray Crimes Forced into the Hands of an Infiltrator - Kingsley Shackler]

[A Defiant Resistance Under Violent Oppression - Neville Longbottom]
[Details: In the original story, during the reign of Umbridge and Carrow, the students, especially the Muggle students, suffered various forms of oppression and torment.]
To protect his classmates and uphold justice, Neville had to toughen up and become one of the pillars of support for the students after the three little ones left school.
He was unwavering, and together with Luna and Ginny, he organized the remaining members of Dumbledore's Army after the three little ones left school to continue their fight against injustice.
He endured the torment of the Cruciatus Curse and the pain of his ears being burned, yet he refused to betray his companions and actively plotted his rebellion, including sneaking into the headmaster's office to retrieve the Gryffindor sword, using the Room of Requirement to shelter Muggle students, and using magical gold coins to contact members of the Order of the Phoenix outside the school.
[The Shame and Regret of Those Who Left - Ron Weasley]
[Details: In the original story, during the three children's escape, Ron was affected by the dark magic in the Horcrux, which triggered a strong sense of frustration in him, making it difficult for him to control his emotions.]
Forced to leave Harry and Hermione, she later returned in shame, repented, and actively tried to play her part.
[The psychological torture of those who voluntarily choose death - Harry Potter]
[Details: In the original story, at the final moment in the fight against Voldemort, in order to completely eliminate Voldemort, Harry had to destroy himself, Voldemort's last living Horcrux.]
Overwhelmed by the immense fear of facing death, Harry concealed the truth from Ron and Hermione, and resolutely ventured alone into the Forbidden Forest to engage in a life-or-death duel with Voldemort.
Left with no other choice, he planned and carried out his own murder.
[Detected that the current host has completely eliminated Voldemort, driven out all the dark wizards in the British wizarding world, and preserved all the white wizards.]
Logically speaking, all of the aforementioned unfortunate events should no longer be possible.
However, due to the white wizard training program formulated and secretly manipulated by the host himself, Grindelwald and the Saints have formed a force with a larger scale and greater overall strength than Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and they are about to attack the British wizarding world.
Based on a comprehensive assessment by the system, the host is required to ensure that all original story characters mentioned in this special unfortunate event survive safely and healthily until their natural death.
Furthermore, the host must ensure that all the unavoidable regrets mentioned in this special regret event do not recur, and that all relevant characters achieve happy endings.
[The reward settlement date for this special unfortunate event is the day Voldemort completely died in the original story, which is the early morning of May 2, 1998.]
[If any character from the original story involved in this special unfortunate event suffers accidental injury after the reward is issued, the reward will be reduced accordingly.]
[Resolving this special unfortunate event will grant a fixed reward: 1. Unlimited fusion opportunities for S-rank and below magical items; 2. 3 fusion opportunities per year for SS-rank and SSS-rank magical items.]
[For special unfortunate events, only the fixed reward is given; there are no additional rewards.]
