The graveyard under the moonlight fell deathly silent at her words!
If Harry were still there, he would see the eyes of the Death Eaters, which had just been filled with cruelty, now only holding fear and disbelief!
The Killing Curse... had failed!?
How was that possible!
Or had Voldemort been inactive for too long and used the wrong curse?
That had to be it!
Otherwise, how could anyone resist Avada Kedavra!
Not even Dumbledore could do it!
Lucius swallowed hard, glancing at the Dark Lord, only to find that snake-like face even paler, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead!
Was that... cold sweat?
In an instant, his heart raced, pupils shrunk to pinpoints, and he just wanted to fly away!
But fear of the Dark Lord kept him rooted to the spot like a statue!
At that moment, Voldemort, without hesitation, waved his wand again!
"Confringo!!!"
This spell could explode anything it touched, even flesh!
If soul-attacking Killing Curses didn't work, then he'd use one of the most powerful damaging spells!
He refused to believe this woman could survive!
As soon as he spoke, a red beam shot from his wand tip!
In just 0.1 seconds, it hit her squarely!
Knowing the terror of this spell, the Death Eaters immediately dove to the ground as Voldemort shouted.
Standing meant death!
But as they pressed into the dirt, nearly burying themselves, the expected explosion and shock never came.
All the Death Eaters looked back simultaneously to see an unbelievable sight.
The red beam of Voldemort's Blasting Curse was held in the woman's hand like a toy.
Lucius was stunned.
Spells either got blocked or exploded.
What did it mean to hold it in her hand!?
"This must be a dream."
Wormtail smacked himself with his iron hand, misjudged the force, screamed, and sent two bloody teeth flying.
Just then, another man stepped out of the door at the sound.
He curiously looked around until his gaze landed on Voldemort, then he laughed happily:
"Hey, I know you, Tom Riddle, right?"
"The God-Lord's fate fragment had you in it... tsk tsk, you're uglier than the Kronans."
The casual tone, mocking Voldemort's name, and the incomprehensible insult shocked all the Death Eaters awake!
Combined with previous terrifying memories!
This time, fear of the unknown clearly outweighed fear of the Dark Lord!
Lucius was the fastest to run, turning into black smoke and shooting into the sky.
Seeing this, the others also fled, fearing they might be too slow!
"Traitors!"
Voldemort roared!
Then... turned into black smoke and fled as well.
He was cruel, vicious, and disdainful of life.
But not brainless!
Someone who could ignore the Killing Curse and catch his full-powered Blasting Curse.
He'd swear on his Horcruxes, not even a 30-years-younger Dumbledore or a living Merlin could do that!!
Voldemort even suspected that she wasn't human!
The Death Eaters didn't stay behind to cover his escape, which infuriated him!
Cowards, all of them!
Can you run faster than me?
He cursed inwardly, easily overtaking a Death Eater, vanishing into the sky.
Under the moonlight.
The golden door closed and vanished.
Loki, watching the direction Voldemort fled, chuckled:
"This guy seems different from the personality in the fate fragment. I thought he'd go berserk and fight to the death."
"Such a pity. I wanted to test the power the God-Lord gave me."
Before coming to this world, besides receiving the fate fragment of this world, Balder also bestowed a bit of shadow power upon Loki.
Otherwise, he was very worried this guy would screw up.
At that moment, Hela turned, giving Loki a cold look:
"Remember!"
"Our mission is to spread divine power to summon the God-Lord, not to destroy the wizarding world!"
"Otherwise, why would we need someone useless like you to come along?"
If it were about power, she could kill everyone on this planet herself.
But what would be the point of that!
The upcoming plan needed a villain, needed the Dark Lord alive!
That's why she let him go!
Saying this, Hela's expression became serious, radiating an astonishing killing intent:
"And another thing, if you dare use your power recklessly and disrupt the plan, I'll imprison your soul!"
"Believe me, the God-Lord wouldn't blame me!"
At this chilling warning, Loki's mouth twitched, then he retorted:
"Don't look down on me, Hela. My target is one of the ten temples' God of Deceit, not this little world."
"Good to know!"
Hela snorted, then walked to Cedric's corpse.
After a look, she crouched, placing her palm on his head:
"Recently dead."
"Perfect for demonstrating a 'miracle'."
Though the fundamental rules of the two worlds differ.
With her control over powerful death magic, reviving a recently deceased person was simple for Hela.
As ghostly green light burst from her palm, a swirling wind formed around Cedric's body!
Thin white mist appeared out of nowhere, drawn by the vortex, gradually combining into an incomplete ghost.
It was Cedric, looking dazed.
Hela easily grabbed the intangible soul, roughly shoving it into the body.
Then, with a burst of green flames on him, Cedric's chest started moving again, and his face regained color!
Yes, resurrection was that straightforward.
At this moment, Loki also crouched, leaning close to Cedric's ear, who hadn't opened his eyes yet, and softly said with a voice filled with magic:
"Poor child, your heart is so kind, your soul so pure, you shouldn't wither and face such tragic fate."
"Great God-Lord Balder
Awaken, lamb of the Lord.... Cedric"

(Note: The PS explains that in the original Harry Potter story, when Cedric initially died, a fragment of his soul appeared from Voldemort's wand to help Harry. In this version, since the golden door interrupted before that point, the ghost Hela summoned was incomplete.)
