Rowena and Ian Apparition arrived at "Bermuda Triangle".
As soon as they appeared, Ian felt that the space fluctuations here were extremely strange, almost exactly the same as the "alien space" in his memory.
"This place... is exactly the same as my world." Ian whispered.
Rowena did not respond, but took out an ancient magic artifact from his arms, touched it lightly with his fingertips, and a vortex suddenly formed in the air.
"Let's go." Her voice was calm.
The two stepped into the vortex.
--
The moment he entered, all the light was lost and everything was pitch black.
Ian raised the wand and said softly, "Lumos." The soft light lit up in the darkness, barely illuminating the path underfoot.
"Even the light here is swallowed up." He murmured.
Rowena turned back. "This is an independent space, connected to Bermuda Triangle. I used the Divination magic amplified by Hall of Prophecy to find the entrance here. Later, I used Alchemy to make the key - the artifact - so that I can enter at any time."
The two of them walked along the winding passage for half an hour. Suddenly, the darkness in front of them was torn open.
A huge vortex is suspended in front of you. Through the vortex, you can see the other side - a pure white world, with light spots all over the sky flashing like countless stars. Each point of light has a different brightness, but together they form a breathtaking scene.
Ian was stunned. "That's--?"
Rowena replied in a low voice, "Chaos. The world outside our world. Or in other words, Void outside the universe."
"Void..." Ian repeated softly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Then, he suddenly laughed out loud, with a hint of trembling excitement mixed in his laughter.
"Sure enough, it exists! I once speculated that there must be a structureless transition zone between countless universes, and that is Void - and now it has finally been confirmed!"
Rowena raised his eyebrows. "Is it worth being so happy?"
"Of course!" Ian's eyes flashed, "This means countless parallel worlds and countless magical civilizations! Some may be far better than us, and some are completely different - and all of this is brand new knowledge!"
Rowena looked at him, a smile of appreciation flashed across his eyes, "So what you are pursuing is the Truth of the universe."
"That's right." Ian took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, "In order to go further, I studied immortality, just to have enough time to explore these worlds. I even wanted to integrate the wisdom of Muggles and wizards to push all mankind forward. But now - Void is right in front of me, and my theory has finally been confirmed."
He put away his smile and looked at Rowena seriously, "Okay, now it's my turn to help you solve your physical problems."
Rowena nodded. "When I first came here, Hall of Time and Space was located near this vortex. They seemed to be trying to seal the cracks in Void. I conducted research out of curiosity, but during an experiment-some kind of power from Void entered my body."
Her tone was calm, but the pain in her eyes was not completely concealed.
"That power was eating away at me. I managed to stop it from spreading, but it was still slowly chipping away at my soul."
Ian walked up to her, raised the wand, and shimmered around her.
After a moment, he looked solemn. "Your blood, Magic Core, and even your soul are all contaminated by the same black energy. It's a miracle that you can survive until now."
Rowena smiled calmly, "I have long been prepared to face death. It's just a pity that a lot of research has not been completed."
"Don't be in a hurry to say goodbye." Ian put away the wand and said in a calm but determined tone, "I have a way."
"Oh?" Rowena raised his eyebrows slightly.
"First, you have to give up this body."
"You mean - copy the body and then transfer the soul?"
"That's right." Ian nodded, "I will create a body that is exactly the same as yours, and then transfer your soul to it. But the problem is that your soul is contaminated."
Rowena Silence.
"If I want to completely purify it, I don't know enough about this power." Ian continued to analyze, "The best way is to refer to Horcrux magic and remove part of the infected soul. Although you can survive, your soul will be incomplete. The recovery process may take hundreds of years."
"Hundreds of years..." Rowena murmured and suddenly smiled, "If you can survive, time is nothing."
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "If so, we need to find Salazar·Slytherin."
Ian raised his eyebrows. "That guy? What are you doing?"
"In this timeline, he invented a magic that can transform Muggles into pure Soul Energy and marry Crystallization. This is why Gryffindor hates him."
Ian thoughtfully said, "In other words, he holds the key to 'Soul Restoration'."
"That's right." Rowena nodded.
"Then it's settled," Ian sighed, "Let's go see him first, and then return to my world to reshape your body. You should really bring my laboratory with you."
"What to do with Void's research?"
"You can come back after you recover." Ian replied.
Rowena suddenly shook his head. "Maybe not. That crack will close on its own, and the Hall of Space and Time is already accelerating this process. Maybe by your time, it has completely disappeared."
"Then take advantage of it now." Ian said, "We will come back when you recover."
Rowena showed a faint smile, "Don't be too anxious. In my current situation, I can live for ten to fifteen years."
"Do you know what this means? The longer you wait, the deeper Soul Corrosion gets."
"I know it." Her eyes were firm, "But that power is changing me - it's a benign change. I can feel it. After I change my body and repair my soul, I will reabsorb that energy and let it continue to transform me. If the process gets out of control, just cut it off and do it again."
Ian was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I understand. If it were me, I would choose the same path."
They looked at each other and smiled, then left the Void entrance together and embarked on a new journey.
