After reviewing his attributes, what made Li Mu happiest was that his Nirvana Talent Level had not dropped.

Even though he had dispelled the Phoenix Transformation, his level remained at LV4.

This was more important than anything else, directly relating to whether he could revive at full health in his human form.

Apparition. Li Mu appeared outside the Ministry of Magic.

The area outside the Ministry of Magic had not been peaceful these past few days. Wizards from various countries' Ministries of Magic had surrounded the British Ministry of Magic, even setting up a large-scale anti-Apparition field. Ostensibly, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge, had been distancing himself, but the other countries' Ministries of Magic were not buying it.

They were surrounding but not attacking because the Phoenix Apostle had seized quite a few nuclear weapons in the last two days.

In just a few days, the world's Muggles had completely lost their nuclear weapons.

The ultimate fate of all nuclear weapons was divided into three parts. One part fell into Nicolas Flamel's hands, another part was confiscated by various countries' Ministries of Magic, and the last part was secretly seized by the Phoenix Apostles he had dispatched. It was impossible to say exactly how many nuclear weapons each of the three parties controlled.

This was because the Imperius Curse and Forgetfulness Curse had been used far too much when seizing nuclear weapons from Muggles.

The highest levels of various countries had themselves forgotten that nuclear weapons existed in the world. While books and the Muggle populace knew of their existence, how could ordinary Muggles possibly know the specifics of nuclear weapons? Those in high positions who knew the specifics had completely forgotten.

Even if they were to learn of nuclear weapons through other means in the future, it would be too late to realize their memories had been erased.

Without nuclear bombs, the Muggles of various countries had lost the qualification to negotiate with the Wizarding World.

Originally, the Ministries of Magic of various countries would send people to protect Muggle high officials. However, because a single nuclear bomb had annihilated over a thousand elite wizards, even those wizards who leaned towards protecting Muggles found few who opposed confiscating such dangerous things as nuclear weapons.

Thus, in just a few short days, nuclear weapons had been secretly divided among three factions.

The process of seizing nuclear weapons naturally involved considerable friction and clashes.

Nicolas Flamel was alone and it was manageable, but the Ministries of Magic of various countries knew that the Phoenix Apostle possessed quite a few nuclear weapons.

Invisibly, due to nuclear deterrence, the Ministries of Magic of various countries dared not attack the British Ministry of Magic.

They dared not make a move, but he had no such reservations.

Because with his current strength, he could silently control the ministers of the various Ministries of Magic and then seize the nuclear weapons held by those ministries through the Imperius Curse. In the end, this was the magical world, and the level of individual strength determined everything.

No matter how powerful nuclear weapons were, they still required human control.

As long as the people controlling the nuclear weapons were controlled, even the most powerful nuclear weapons would be nothing but scrap metal.

However, today, the stage was to be left to Nicolas Flamel.

Through the Phoenix Mark, Li Mu notified Lucius to release Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick, upon leaving the cell, soon arrived at the location of the Hogwarts Ruins. He picked some wildflowers by the roadside and silently paid respects to the professors and staff who had perished alongside Hogwarts that day, those who were not skilled in combat.

Time quickly passed until noon, and Nicolas Flamel Apparated nearby.

The moment he appeared, Nicolas Flamel's eyes darted around, observing Professor Flitwick. He saw no trace of the Imperius Curse, nor the Spark Energy contained within the Phoenix Mark, which relieved Nicolas Flamel. However, he still vigilantly scanned his surroundings.

Finally, ensuring there were no enemy contacts, he walked over to Professor Flitwick and joined him in paying respects.

"What about the forged Philosopher's Stone?" Professor Flitwick asked mournfully.

"The forged one might be seen through. I've brought the real Philosopher's Stone." Nicolas Flamel handed Professor Flitwick an irregularly shaped red gem.

With the item in hand, Professor Flitwick immediately Apparated away.

Nicolas Flamel also left. Li Mu appeared a mere two steps away.

He did not make a move, because the Nicolas Flamel from just now was not the real person, but merely an Alchemy Puppet disguised as him.

He almost made a move too, because Professor Flitwick already knew that Professor McGonagall and the others were no longer in this world. There were no traces of Professor McGonagall and the others paying respects at the Hogwarts Ruins. If they were still alive and no longer being hunted, they would have definitely returned to pay their respects.

He overlooked this point, which is why Professor Flitwick saw through the truth.

In the British Ministry of Magic Minister's Office, Li Mu returned much later but arrived first.

He even had time to specifically brew two cups of black tea.

Professor Flitwick, who pushed the door open directly, placed the Philosopher's Stone heavily on the desk. Then, without another word, his wand was already pointed at the Phoenix City Lord. He hadn't exposed the truth in front of Nicolas Flamel because he couldn't accept Nicolas Flamel starting a nuclear war and destroying the world.

But facing the Phoenix City Lord who had deceived him, even knowing he would surely die, he still wanted to make him bleed.

The emerald green Killing Curse struck the Phoenix City Lord's brow in Professor Flitwick's shocked gaze.

Head-on, without any defense, even Dumbledore and Voldemort would have died on the spot if they took a Killing Curse. But Professor Flitwick saw clearly that the Phoenix City Lord, after being hit head-on by the Killing Curse, merely had his head jerked back from the impact.

The next moment, Professor Flitwick saw the Phoenix City Lord extend his right hand towards him.

Five fingers instantly transformed into metal needles extending three meters. The Iron Skin Charm Professor Flitwick instantly activated, along with the passively activated final defensive ring given by Nicolas Flamel, were pierced through like paper by the metal needles. Finally, the five metal needles pierced his head, and he lost his last consciousness.

Even as he died, he didn't know how the Phoenix City Lord had done it.

Li Mu was satisfied as he deactivated the Illusionary Body Curse from the side. The one sitting there drinking tea the entire time was not his true body.

It was merely a substitute created from a Metal Cup using the Polymorph Spell. It was only because the level of the Polymorph Spell was as high as LV11, coupled with the Spark Energy, that this substitute looked no different from a real person. Even the breath exhaled while drinking tea was like that of a living person.

So, even at the moment of Professor Flitwick's death, he hadn't suspected that this was a fake created by the Polymorph Spell.

This was because for any existence transformed by the Polymorph Spell, the more complex it was, the higher the difficulty.

A humanoid substitute created by the Polymorph Spell, even if it was just a superficial imitation, was already very difficult. Let alone making it as lifelike as a living person. Professor Flitwick hadn't suspected the authenticity of this substitute until his death, and the possibility of Nicolas Flamel seeing through this substitute was definitely zero.
