“Evan, what should we do?” Elaine asked in panic. “My uncle…”
She also noticed Caresius’s abnormality and felt that he was being controlled by a strange and powerful force emanating from the nearby statue of the evil god. It emitted an eerie red glow, becoming increasingly menacing and selective in its targets.
Elaine didn’t know what to do; this was not a type of power she understood.
“Leave it to me!” said Evan, raising his wand. The statue of the evil god showed no response, but he did not approach rashly.
He could feel that the terrible evil god was deliberately trying to lure him closer; it was part of his plan.
The little strength the evil god had just regained was not enough to attack Evan directly. He could only expect Evan to attack him first, just like Caresius had done before.
Only then would he have a chance, and Evan was not about to fall for that. He already had a lot of experience in fighting evil gods!
It was unwise to directly confront the evil god’s terrifying and unknown power. Before the main body of the evil god came to the real world, the more important thing was a battle at the spiritual and soul level to fight against the most negative emotions evoked by the evil god.
Therefore, he needed positive power rather than strong destructive power. The Patronus Charm was the best choice.
“Expecto Patronum!” Evan shouted, summoning his own Patronus.
Previous experiences had made it clear to Evan that the Patronus, who exuded positive energy and could resist all negative emotions, was very effective in dealing with evil gods, their creations and other evil shadow monsters from the endless void.
Following his call, a silver-glowing animal formed from the air, swiftly circling around him.
It was a black feline creature shimmering with silver light, but not a black cat.
It was larger, more powerful, and more agile than a cat. It appeared from thin air, spinning rapidly around Evan.
Since the last time he summoned his Patronus at the lighthouse on the island of Sicily, Evan had noticed changes in it.
After going back and studying it carefully, he discovered that his Patronus had changed from a black cat to a black panther.
It was a mysterious occurrence, but it had indeed happened. Evan’s Patronus had undergone a change!
As known, each Patronus was unique, symbolizing the inner self, expressing the deepest thoughts within a person. Everyone’s personality and inner world were different, and the emotions expressed varied, changing with shifts in the subconscious.
The most typical example was Snape, whose motivation for summoning his Patronus was to do happy things with Harry’s mother Lily.
Therefore, after Lily’s death, his Patronus became the doe, which had been Lily’s Patronus and his vindication.
Evan didn’t know what his former Patronus was. But after Lily died, Snape’s Patronus was always a doe.
And Tonks, after falling in love with Lupin and becoming pregnant with his child, her Patronus changed to a wolf!
Her Patronus also changed, because her motivation for summoning her Patronus changed from other positive emotions of happiness and protection to doing happy things with Lupin. Therefore, her Patronus became a wolf like Lupin’s.
One thing to note was that since the Patronus was a force for good, it could only be summoned by positive emotions. Unlike the connection between Death Eaters and the Dark Mark through which Dark wizards were linked, so Death Eaters did not have Patronuses.
Like Snape and Tonks, Evan’s Patronus had also changed, from a black cat to a black panther.
He didn’t engage in happy things with anyone. Although the memories with Hermione were also very happy, Evan primarily used the will of protection. Therefore, his Patronus underwent a change, or more accurately, an evolution, likely indicating Evan’s growth.
In addition to having the same symbolism and magical essence, the Black Panther was more powerful than the Black Cat, and his strength and protective will had also become stronger.
After circling around Evan once, the Patronus flew towards Caresius and Elaine.
A milky-white energy shield appeared out of thin air, breaking the evil god’s control over Caresius.
There was a sound of glass breaking, and the light red light that had been shrouding Caresius’s body gradually faded, and the evil god was shrinking.
Caresius was still unconscious, but his breathing gradually stabilized, and the painful expression on his face gradually faded away. As long as they promptly administered treatment, everything would be fine.
“Humble resistance, you don’t know what you are doing!” The evil god’s deep voice reappeared in Evan’s mind; faint but exceptionally clear. “Hope is a meaningless fantasy, in the powerful and unknown fear. You have already lost yourself before the powerful and unknown fear. Face up to your heart, lost lamb. Hand over the Philosopher’s Stone and the Book of Seals on you, and I will forgive your sins, allowing you to serve me as a messenger spreading fear across the realms…”
“Shut up!” Evan said, knowing there was no way to communicate with the evil god.
It was turning over and over just to entice and lure Evan to fall. The possibility of the evil god’s promise was basically zero, and those things had little meaning to him.
“Weak and ignorant humans, you do not understand the existence you are facing. What you see is only a part of me, not even a billionth of my power,” the evil god did not give up. “Your ancestors, those Humans who were countless times more powerful than you tried to conquer me, but all they got in the end was destruction. I haven’t destroyed you immediately, which is already the most merciful thing in the world.”
After giving up on Caresius, he began to try to influence and control Evan.
The Patronus rushed over, bringing a white mist of light, and the positive energy began to block the mental intrusion of the evil god.
Evan increased his magic output to protect himself and Elaine. The evil god’s voice started distorting, becoming fainter and weaker.
He stared at the statue, wondering how to destroy this entity.
The Book of Abraham was undoubtedly effective, but Evan didn’t know how to use the magic on it.
Every time he encountered danger, it was this book that acted on its own. But it didn’t react this time. Apparently it thought this danger was nothing to Evan.
Moreover, what exactly was this statue now? It served as Voldemort’s Horcrux and had the ability to connect with the evil god.
Regardless of how he thought about it, it was all too terrifying.
“My companions and I come from the darkest corners of the world, where the tendrils of humanity have only just touched. The scenes witnessed there are truly shocking,” the evil god continued. “That is the present of our world, and the future of your world. Your resistance has no meaning, just useless struggling. You will understand. One day, you will decide to serve me, and I, the benevolent one, decided to show all this to you so that you can understand what you are about to get.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the statue of the evil god glowing with red light slowly floated up from the ground…
