Siberia

Jon was thinking as well.

The road to becoming a legend was always filled with all kinds of problems, including the final step of condensing the Legendary Omen. This step required him to actively leave an imprint in the Azure Deep Sea, rather than have one preserved with outside help as before.

It was like the difference between writing "So-and-so was here" somewhere and being remembered by others.

If the problem could not be resolved before he began, then it could only be dealt with during the forging of the Legendary Omen. If it could not be resolved then... he could only die.

Having his path cut off and being unable to become a god would already be a good outcome. Even someone as bold as Grindelwald had spent so long preparing. As for Dumbledore... his had been more of a forced choice, though fortunately, the result had been fairly good.

"But I've been preparing for a long time already. Now... time is tight. Looking for problems is still too much of a waste of time. If there are any more problems, let them come find me. I haven't started yet, anyway. Later on... Siberia should be a good place."

Was that so?

Jon hesitated a little.

If Grindelwald accompanied him, there naturally would not be any major
