"Dumbledore just sent you lot here to die?" Voldemort looked at Sirius Black and the others with a sneer. "Looks like his Phoenix Society is going to suffer a terrible loss today."

I don't think so.

A blazing fire burned in mid-air, Dumbledore emerged from it with composure.

Dumbledore's arrival caused Voldemort's arrogance to vanish quickly. He glanced at the wounded Barty Crouch Jr. and the other two Death Eater, "You two go first."

"Yes, sir." Barty Crouch Jr. nodded, clearly knowing that leaving the three wounded behind would only be a burden.

"It's foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom."

The Auror are on their way here.

"By the time they arrive, I'll be long gone, and you'll be dead," Voldemort replied calmly.

The two sides clashed the next moment, with Death Eater and Phoenix Society members fighting each other. The clash of various spells was dazzling, and explosions rang out continuously.

The battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort was much more sophisticated. Although both wanted to destroy each other, they were surprisingly calm and neither used any powerful magic. It was more like they were testing each other.

"Both the Dark Lord and the White Lord have arrived, it's quite a spectacle," the Thought Form said sarcastically. "Now that you're safe, it's time for me to go too."

It's unavoidable. The two most powerful Warlock in the Magic World are here, and it would be too conspicuous for him, Gaius's twin brother, to stay behind.

"Protect."

The Thought Form nodded, leaving an ultimate Defense Magic Array on the ground, and then Apparition away from this dangerous place.

Aaron sighed softly, feeling inexplicably that his actions tonight seemed somewhat hasty, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Um... Aaron, can you let us go now?" Neville asked shyly.

"Finite Incantatem." Aaron casually waved his Wand, untying the ropes binding them.

Harry swung away the rope, grabbed his Wand, and was about to rush over to help.

Because his godfather Sirius Black Black is fighting against Malfoy and McNeil, a pair that is extremely dangerous.

"You stay right there," Aaron stopped Yu. "You won't be of much help going up there. Just stay within the defensive array and don't cause any trouble."

"Could you...?"

Harry lowered his head guiltily halfway through his sentence, and his voice stopped abruptly.

He has already caused Aaron a lot of trouble tonight, and he seems to be in very bad shape. Asking him for help again would be asking too much.

"Is it really safe to stay here?" Luna asked with some concern. "These Death Eater are all lunatics, and you and Abei are exhausted right now. What if they come and attack us without hesitation?"

Aaron thought for a moment and then took out the Nika Mask.

"Put it on."

Luna paused for a moment, then curiously took the mask and put it on her face.

The mask was placed on her face, and as Luna felt a significant increase in her physical abilities, she seemed to understand how to use it. "Call upon the darkness deep within."

The Shadow Ninja slowly emerged from the shadows and respectfully bowed to Luna, but their numbers were fewer, only a dozen or so.

"My God!" Ron exclaimed, his mouth agape in surprise. "It really is true that whoever wears it gains the ability to control these ninjas!"

"Quickly, get them over there to help," Harry said hastily.

"No, we're only truly safe if they stay here," Aaron said patiently. "That's why I'm not giving you the mask."

Harry was speechless and paced back and forth anxiously.

A minute or two later, the impact of the magic created a large hole in the ceiling. Dumbledore and Voldemort, seemingly unwilling to squeeze into the cramped space, flew to the Ministry Atrium on the upper floor.

The battle between the Death Eater and the Order of the Phoenix Society was quite intense, with no obvious casualties on either side.

Harry watched Sirius Black rise from the ground to the high platform, getting closer and closer to the Veil, a strange sense of unease welled up inside him, as if something that would haunt him for the rest of his life was about to happen.

"You stay here."

After saying that, Harry rushed out of the Defense Magic Array's range, and Ron and Ginny couldn't stop him no matter what they tried.

"Forget it, it would be rather inhumane to let him just watch," Aaron sighed softly.

"But he wouldn't be of much help even if he went up there!" Neville said dejectedly. "Although I hate to admit it, we're no match for the Death Eater right now."

"Don't worry, he won't die, he's even safer than us."

Don't forget that Prophecy: even Deathly Harry could only die at Voldemort's hands.

"But... is this reliable?" Ginny asked doubtfully.

"In a sense, it's quite reliable." Aaron was also a little unsure, after all, the person being Prophecy was no ordinary person.

"By the way, speaking of Prophecy... tonight someone will die at the Death Eater."

Hermione, I've teleported away. Harry is the Prophecy, and you're all in a Defense Magic Array with me, protected by more than ten Shadow Ninja. Logically, you should be fine.

But if it's not me, not Hermione, not Harry, and not you guys, then it can only be...

"The Phoenix Society!" Neville gasped, his voice rising a third of an inch. "Someone will be killed?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it is. I just don't know who's so unlucky," Aaron said, and the others fell silent.

"What do we have to do?" Ron said.

"What else is there to do?" Aaron rolled his eyes at him dismissively. "Trust me, the best thing to do right now is not to distract them."

"Don't go." Ginny shook her head at him. "You don't have the protection of Prophecy."

Ron:...

Outside the Defense Magic Array, there were sounds of impacts, shouts, screams, and maniacal laughter, while inside the Defense Magic Array, all was silent.

Ron, Luna, Ginny, and Neville all felt heavy-hearted, while Aaron didn't care so much. Since he had joined the Phoenix Society, he must have been prepared to make sacrifices.

"System, open your personal panel."

"OK."

[Staying at the hotel: Aaron Gaius]

[Magical Energy: Body: 7888, Mid-level Archmage; Thought Form: 7888, Mid-level Archmage; Total: 15776 (Beginner Grand Archmage, a rare existence in the Magic World)]

[Talent: Once in a Millennium (Increases Magical Energy by 4 points daily, physical body by 2 points, Thought Form by 2 points)]

[Items: Moon Drop (1/3 can remove any negative spells), Resurrection Potion (can revive any creature that died within an hour), Magic Carpet, Captain Jack's Compass...]

[Magic Points: 0]

"The numbers are quite auspicious, but I've already awakened the Dragon Power, so why is the panel still so plain?" Aaron asked in confusion.

He clearly felt a rapid surge in magic power when he awakened the Dragon Power, but now it all seems like an illusion.

"How dare you say that?" the system said speechlessly. "Awakening by absorbing other people's magic power and awakening on your own are two different things."

"When Sukuna can control her abilities more freely, perhaps her Attribute Panel will change."

"Stingy." Aaron scoffed, then opened the quest panel.

[Be a responsible Prefect (from now until the end of this semester);]

The reward for completing the task is 1200 Magic Points; there is no penalty for failure. [Accepted]

[Change the Prophecy, change the fate of the dying;]

The reward for completing the task is 1000 Magic Points; there is no penalty for failure. Do you accept?

"Holy crap!" Aaron's face twitched slightly. "Are you trying to seduce someone?"

"You can refuse. It's only a thousand Magic Points, which is the price of a Horse Talisman."

"Don't tempt me with that," Aaron snapped irritably. "I'll get 1,200 Magic Points by the end of this semester. Do you think I need 1,000?"

"Insufficient." The leader said sternly, "It's not that I'm disrespecting you, but your current number of Magic Points is zero!"

If it were just a little more, even a single digit, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Aaron:...

Don't I have any pride?

"Hoo!" Aaron took a deep breath. "It's not that I don't want to save them, but I don't have much strength right now, and I also have to maintain the Defense Magic Array."

"That's the fate of the host, it has nothing to do with this system."

However, a friendly reminder: this task has a tight time limit, possibly only a few minutes, so please make the most of it.

"You win! I accept." Aaron gritted his teeth and said. It's just saving someone's life. Casting a spell from outside the arena to block a fatal blow should be enough!

Besides, there's no punishment for failure, so there's no need to dwell on it so much.

With this in mind, Aaron began to focus his attention on the battle between the Phoenix Society and the Death Eater.

Professor Snape wasn't worried. How bad could a genius Warlock who was confident he could teach Defense Against the Dark Arts be?

Moreover, he is a former Death Eater and a suspected double agent. Even if he can defeat Death Eater, he wouldn't dare to really kill them!

Indeed, that was the case. The fight between Professor Snape and Luke Wood was quite conventional, with both sides behaving with restraint, just like in the play.

Kingsley and Mulciber fought side by side, their battle evenly matched and neither able to gain the upper hand.

Bellatrix and Tonks transformed into two balls of light, one black and one white, colliding repeatedly inside the house. Amidst their maniacal laughter, the black ball seemed to gain the upper hand.

The fight between Moody and Antonin was much more intense; both of them wanted nothing more than to kill each other immediately.

Antonin's curse struck Moody's face, a demonic eye rolled to the ground, and his face began to bleed.

Fortunately, Lupin, having dealt with his opponent, arrived in time, and the two of them worked together to turn the tide.

The most dangerous situation was Sirius Black, who was facing two opponents. At that moment, Harry also rushed to the front of the Veil.

He initially needed Sirius Black's protection, but he quickly got into the game and repelled McNeil.

"Expelliarmus."

Harry used Disarming Charm to strike Lucius, but he only knocked the scepter off Lucius's left hand; the Wand remained in Lucius's hand.

"Well done, James."

Sirius Black seemed to mistake Harry for his father, James Potter, and with a slight tremor of his hand, knocked Lucius's Wand from his grasp, followed by a red spell that sent him tumbling off the platform.

At that moment, a green light shot towards his chest. It was the Killing Curse released by Bellatrix, who was standing on high ground. As for Tonks, he was Petrification Spell and lay motionless on the ground.

A beam of red light suddenly shot out from one side, striking the Killing Curse directly and causing it to deviate from its course.

"Thank you." Sirius Black thanked Aaron with lingering fear; if it weren't for Aaron's timely intervention, he would have lost his life.

"All done." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could see a thousand Magic Points fall into his pocket, but the next moment, the four-figure reward seemed to sprout wings.

Bellatrix attacked even more fiercely, showing no intention of defending at all.

Ignoring the enormous drain on her magic, she unleashed one Killing Curse after another on Sirius Black, as if she wouldn't stop until she had taken her cousin's life.

In this magical duel where the slightest carelessness could be fatal, Sirius Black could only barely hold his own, while Harry was completely unable to intervene.

Bellatrix suddenly Apparition, teleporting behind Sirius Black.

"Avada Kedavra."

"Stop! My thousand!" Aaron immediately stood up, teleported to Sirius Black the instant the green light struck him, and then slapped him in the abdomen.

He made a pulling motion, as if pulling out something, but no one could see it.

Sirius Black fell toward the Veil, his speed slow, but he could not escape the Veil's pull toward death.

Bellatrix gave them a smug, provocative smile and fled toward a door.

Before Harry could recover from the loss of his loved one, he saw Aaron lunge at the Veil, Sirius Black's body completely inside the Veil, grabbing one of his arms tightly.

The Veil seemed to sense the provocation from the living and wanted to pull Aaron into it as well.

However, his Immortal Divine Power was involuntarily mobilized, causing him to frantically repel the world of the dead behind the Veil.

"Let go, you're violating the rules."

A hoarse, slightly drafty voice rang in my ears, and time seemed to stand still for that moment.

Aaron saw the various spells freeze in mid-air, Harry's pupils widened in panic, and Lupin also made a running motion...

A scythe-wielding, hooded figure of Death God appeared on the other side of the Veil, engaging in a tug-of-war with himself to fight for Sirius Black's body.

"Hey buddy, give me some face." Aaron greeted him familiarly, casually revealing the family mark on his arm.

He was also a little apprehensive. If the mark didn't work, he would immediately give up on Sirius Black. There was no need to offend a god for a thousand Magic Points!

Death God appeared to be stunned for a moment. "Gaius respects the rules the most. The dead should go to the world of the dead."

Besides, your mark is gray; I don't need to give you face.

"I know, but I didn't break any rules." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, but still argued, "This person isn't quite dead yet. You have no right to take his life. Even Death God has to be reasonable!"

He is dead.

"His body died, but I took his Soul Stone just before he died," Aaron said, then took out a glass ball the size of a pigeon's egg from the Magic Array, in which Sirius Black's Soul Stone was sleeping.

Death God looked at Aaron with surprise, then said with displeasure, "But he entered the Veil, which is the path to death."

"It's not fully inside, is it?" Aaron glanced at the arm he was holding, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Death God was silent for a moment. "Who is he to you?"

"I don't know him well; I was just trying it out for personal gain."

"Interesting." Death God chuckled softly, then pushed Sirius Black out.
