"And yours?"

The Ministry of Magic officials checked the area and then pointed all the wands that had been pointed at Professor Quirrell at Yi Shuihan, clearly indicating that Quirrell had been cleared of suspicion.

"Uh!" Yi Shuihan put his right hand to his forehead and said, "I don't have any identification, but I'm here to see Professor Dumbledore. If you call him over, I believe he'll be happy to help me prove my identity."

Chapter 536, It's not a big deal?

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan mention Dumbledore's name, the people from the Ministry of Magic were clearly moved. In those days, Dumbledore's fame was immense; there was practically no one in the wizarding world who didn't know him.

"It worked! It seems that old man's reputation is quite effective!" Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Yi Shuihan knew that his words had had some effect.

The person who had asked to verify his identity earlier nodded slightly to someone behind him, and that person then left, seemingly to inform Dumbledore.

Fortunately, Dumbledore happened to be at the Ministry of Magic at the moment, and one of the people who came was a professor at Hogwarts, otherwise Yi Shuihan's words would have had a different effect.

"Hey, could you guys put your wands down first? Look, I don't have anything in my hand either. Besides, there are so many of you, why are you afraid of just the two of us?"

Even though he knew that these people couldn't threaten him even if they used magic, Yi Shuihan still couldn't stand the feeling of being pointed at.

"Be honest, you're still a suspect in trespassing on the Ministry of Magic's trail."

A female wizard who looked to be about 26 or 7 years old had a cold expression and shouted at Yi Shuihan. She seemed very cold, but Yi Shuihan could tell that she was completely inexperienced and nervous, otherwise why would her body still be trembling slightly?

“Sage, you’re too nervous. This is the Ministry of Magic headquarters. Professor Dumbledore is still here. Even the mysterious man from back then wouldn’t dare to come here. Everyone, put down your wands. I don’t believe those two can defeat so many of us in an instant.”

“But, Captain Chloe…” Sage hesitated, but slowly put down her wand under Chloe’s gaze.

"Chloe, is that right? You're not bad. Interested in following me?"

Yi Shuihan suddenly spoke to Captain Kolo, who was leading the group opposite them, and the meaning behind his words made the atmosphere tense again.

This wasn't a joke; Yi Shuihan genuinely had this idea. It would be almost impossible for him to complete the mission alone, so he also had the idea of ​​building his own force. He found Kolo somewhat agreeable, so he directly invited him.

"I have no plans to leave the Ministry of Magic at the moment."

"That would be a real shame. But if you change your mind later, you can come find me. I think everyone will know where I am by then, so I won't tell you exactly where to find me."

Yi Shuihan's words drew strange looks from everyone except Professor Quirrell and Voldemort inside him.

Saiqi, who had been very nervous, looked like she was trying not to laugh, and her nervousness had completely disappeared.

Who does he think he is? Everyone knows his position. He's clearly a nobody, yet he's spouting nonsense. Does he think his reputation will one day resound throughout the entire wizarding world, comparable to the Wizard or Professor Dumbledore?

Saiqi thought about it more and more and felt that Yi Shuihan was a clown. She found it unbelievable that she had been so nervous about such a person, especially with so many seniors around.

“He’s telling the truth. If he wanted to, I think his fame would soon surpass mine.”

At that moment, a slightly loud voice rang out, and everyone looked over to see the wizard who had left earlier bringing Dumbledore with him. The speaker was none other than Dumbledore.

Yi Shuihan's words were not convincing at all, but Dumbledore's were completely different. His words instantly attracted everyone's attention. The first reaction was not disbelief, but to try to see if Dumbledore was joking. When they saw the seriousness on Dumbledore's face, everyone was shocked.

This is Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, widely regarded as the greatest wizard of our time, a recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class, president of the International Federation of Wizards, and chief wizard of Wizengamor.

If even he says so, then it is very likely that Yi Shuihan can truly achieve what he said before, that everyone knows his location.

The last time someone could earn such a high evaluation from Dumbledore was when he was Mystic.

"So, the magic world is about to see another truly influential figure. Who exactly is he, this mysterious Easterner?"

The people from the Ministry of Magic looked at Yi Shuihan with complicated expressions, especially Saiqi, whose mind went blank amidst the ups and downs.

However, what no one knew was that Yi Shuihan would not only become known to the wizarding world, but would far surpass Dumbledore, Voldemort, and any wizard in the history of the wizarding world.

Both Dumbledore and Voldemort are only known in the wizarding world, but Yi Shuihan is not limited to the wizarding world. He will also become a big figure in the Muggle world, truly stirring up a magical storm and making waves throughout the world.

Well, there's no comparison from the very beginning. Compared to what Yi Shuihan is about to do, Voldemort and the like are just minor squabbles, not worth mentioning.

"It's really not easy to see you, Professor Dumbledore."

Yi Shuihan showed no humility whatsoever and did not offer any rebuttal to Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore didn't answer Yi Shuihan's question first. Instead, he glanced at Quirrell, frowned, and then relaxed.

"That old bastard really knew I existed, damn it."

Within Quirrell's body, Voldemort's soul roared in fury. Quirrell felt his master's anger, and coupled with Dumbledore's pressure, sweat beaded on his forehead, which was covered by a turban, and he kept his head down, not daring to look at Dumbledore.

"Is there something important you need from me, Yi?"

Dumbledore's expression turned slightly serious, and there was doubt in his eyes. He really couldn't figure out what could have made Yi Shuihan come to the Ministry of Magic to see him in person.

"It's nothing serious, I just took the Philosopher's Stone. I just wanted to let you know," Yi Shuihan said, showing Dumbledore the Philosopher's Stone before putting it away. "I made a bet with Voldemort. If he can convince me with reason, I'll give him the Philosopher's Stone. You shouldn't have any objections to that, right?"

Judging from Yi Shuihan's expression and tone of voice, it seemed as if it really wasn't a big deal, while everyone present, except for Qi Luo who already knew, was completely stunned.

Chapter 537, The Source of Immense Magic in the Ministry of Magic

The news that Yi Shuihan mentioned was truly astonishing. First of all, there was the Philosopher's Stone, which was the only Philosopher's Stone still in existence in the magical world. It had been proven to be able to turn stone into gold and even to create the elixir of immortality. Judging from Yi Shuihan's words, he must have taken this legendary item from Dumbledore.

Taking away the Philosopher's Stone, such a priceless treasure, and then coming all the way to inform Dumbledore, as if it were a trivial matter—what kind of logic is that?

Later, when Yi Shuihan mentioned Voldemort's name and revealed their bet, it shocked everyone even more.

Even though Voldemort has been missing for over a decade, his reputation still resonates throughout the wizarding world. Even now, few dare to call him by his name directly, instead referring to him as "the mysterious man."

Originally, everyone was trying to convince themselves that Voldemort was dead and wouldn't come out, which reduced their fear a little.

Now that Yi Shuihan has spoken directly, it's clear that Voldemort is not dead and that he has a bet with him. It will be very difficult for the people in the Ministry of Magic to believe this.

If Yi Shuihan hadn't seen the Philosopher's Stone, or if he hadn't been speaking to Dumbledore, probably no one would have believed what he said.

Dumbledore stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, equally shocked. Yi Shuihan's words had completely disrupted his plans. If things continued like this, Harry's role would become almost non-existent, which did not align with his plan. However, he could not directly tell Yi Shuihan his plan, thus finding the situation extremely perplexing.

"Let me talk to them."

In the silence, Voldemort spoke, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Quirrell, for it was clearly not Quirrell's voice.

"Master, but..."

Quirrell hesitated, because doing so would completely expose him, and he would probably become a rat that everyone wanted to kill after today.

"Let me talk to them."

His tone became noticeably sharper.

"Yes."

When Voldemort got angry, Quirrell didn't dare to continue signaling and quickly took off his turban.

Voldemort's face appeared on the back of Quirrell's head, looking so eerie.

Quirrell turned around so that Voldemort could see Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, it's been so many years since we last met. I never imagined I'd be like this when we meet again. But it doesn't matter, I'll be back soon. That day is definitely not far off."

Tom Dumbledore looked at Voldemort with a somewhat reminiscent expression.

"A mysterious person..."

The Ministry of Magic staff, who should have been shouting for Voldemort's destruction, were now looking at him with fear. Sage, who was already nervous, was now having trouble even standing.

It was obvious that Voldemort had no power at this moment, but the people from the Ministry of Magic didn't even dare to call him by his real name, still referring to him as the Mysterio, let alone confront him. It was clear that the fact that they were still standing here was largely due to Dumbledore's presence.

This shows just how much psychological trauma Voldemort left on them back then.

Even Yi Shuihan was somewhat surprised. Voldemort, who had lost his power and could only reside in other people's bodies, was still so intimidating. What kind of place was this? The Ministry of Magic, which was arguably the most powerful place in the magical world, didn't even have the courage to confront Voldemort.

That's how it is. What do you think?

Yi Shuihan asked Dumbledore again.

"Are you serious?"

Dumbledore countered with a question.

"Of course, I'm serious. You know, we Easterners like to persuade people with reason, and I'm no exception in this regard. If he can really convince me, giving him the Philosopher's Stone wouldn't be a big deal."

That's what they say, but the probability of Voldemort getting the Philosopher's Stone was practically zero.

"It seems Dumbledore doesn't trust you at all! How about you and I cooperate, and we can rule the wizarding world together?" Voldemort fanned the flames from the side, trying to sabotage the relationship between Yi Shuihan and Dumbledore.

If Yi Shuihan could really fall out with Dumbledore, that would definitely be what Voldemort wanted to see. In the current situation, it would be difficult for him to deal with Dumbledore, and if Yi Shuihan were added to the mix, he felt that even if he regained his strength, things wouldn't change much.

"I can give you the magic stone, but I hope you won't forget our promise."

Dumbledore ultimately did not ask Yi Shuihan for the Philosopher's Stone.

"Of course," Yi Shuihan replied, quite satisfied with Dumbledore's tact, her tone harmonious.

Things didn't go as Voldemort had hoped, and his face darkened for a moment, but he knew he was powerless to change anything, at least not for now.

"Roar"

Suddenly a roar was heard, the ground shook slightly, followed by a commotion.

Yi Shuihan could sense an astonishing magical fluctuation emanating from the depths of the Ministry of Magic. This magical fluctuation far exceeded the limits of ordinary wizards and was even comparable to that of Dumbledore.

"Is this why the Ministry of Magic sent Dumbledore here?"

One can't help but speculate, since if it really is about dealing with the source of the magical fluctuations, it would be quite normal to call on Dumbledore.

"Yi, if you don't mind, could you come with me to take a look?"

Dumbledore extended an invitation to Yi Shuihan, seemingly having completely ignored Voldemort's presence. Although he didn't really care about Voldemort in his current state, he was only wary of Voldemort in his prime. Moreover, even if Voldemort were in his prime, it was uncertain who would win in a fight between the two of them.

It's important to know that Dumbledore didn't hide anything at the time, and Voldemort didn't challenge Dumbledore to a duel, clearly indicating that he wasn't confident.

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement. In fact, he was indeed curious about what could possibly possess such immense magical power.

With Dumbledore leading the way, none of the Ministry of Magic personnel stopped them. In fact, they were more than happy to see Yi Shuihan and Voldemort leave!

Voldemort seemed to have let go of his inhibitions and was no longer concerned about being exposed, so he openly followed behind Yi Shuihan and Dumbledore.

Chapter 538, Godzilla the Monster

The Ministry of Magic has many internal magical defenses. Yi Shuihan saw no fewer than a dozen of them along the way with Dumbledore. They were heavily fortified, far more so than any imperial palace.

People on the street greeted Dumbledore respectfully, were curious about Yi Shuihan, and were terrified of the Quirrell-Voldemort combination. Some who recognized Voldemort were even scared into fainting.

Terrified? You can't believe it, but it's true.

After about 3 minutes, Yi Shuihan and the others finally arrived at their destination, a very magical room.

Although it is underground, the Ministry of Magic looks completely different from the underground. Whether it is the sky overhead that looks real or the temperature and air, it feels no different from the ground.

And the room where Yi Shuihan is staying now is even more amazing. It looks like a canyon! There is also a gentle breeze that blows from time to time, carrying a hint of vanilla, which makes people feel much better.

Not far away, a force twice as large as the one that had surrounded Yi Shuihan and his group earlier was forming a circle. Inside the circle was a colossal creature, which was also the true source of the magical power that Yi Shuihan and his group had sensed earlier.

Why does it look so much like Godzilla?

Yi Shuihan spoke with a somewhat strange tone.

"What is Godzilla? Yi, do you know the origin of this monster?"

Dumbledore asked.

Yi Shuihan was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected that these people didn't even know the origin of this thing. He had originally thought that this thing just looked like Godzilla and was probably a magical creature that originally existed in this world. But now, listening to Dumbledore's words, it was not like that at all!

This might actually be Godzilla!

How did you find it?

"It suddenly appeared on Caesar's Plain. A passing wizard spotted it and reported it to the Ministry of Magic, which then captured it because it didn't look like it would be well-behaved, and it seemed to be seriously injured. That's how it was brought to the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore explained, his face showing some worry, "As you can see now, it is recovering, and the Ministry of Magic is almost unable to restrain it. If it manages to escape, it will be a huge disaster for the whole world."

"You can definitely tell."

Yi Shuihan nodded. Upon closer observation, he could sense the energy contained within Godzilla's body. It was not just slightly inferior to Dumbledore's as he had sensed before; it was hundreds of times greater than Dumbledore's. It was only because it was still very weak and its injuries had not fully healed that it could not show its power.

"Godzilla has magic? Is the world crazy, or am I crazy?"

Regardless of who has gone mad, the facts before us remain unchanged. Based on Dumbledore's words, Yi Shuihan has already made a preliminary judgment: this Godzilla should be an outsider from another world, just like him.

Perhaps I was injured while traversing the world, or perhaps I was injured before traversing it; in any case, it doesn't matter. What matters is how to deal with it now.

The Ministry of Magic would seek out Dumbledore for one simple reason: they were unable to kill or tame him, and they hoped he could.

And it is clear that even Professor Dumbledore, who is hailed as the greatest wizard of our time, is not up to par.

Godzilla is a monster that even an atomic bomb couldn't kill, so it certainly has a strong ability to survive. It would be very difficult to kill it with magic. Moreover, the current Godzilla seems to have mutated even more than the original, making it even more difficult to deal with with magic.

"Didn't you try to communicate with it? There must be magic that allows you to talk to magical creatures, right?"

Yi Shuihan suddenly asked, recalling that Godzilla's intelligence seemed to include the ability to communicate.

“That method has been tried, but the result is that its mind is filled with destructive thoughts, making it impossible to communicate. Legilimency is also ineffective,” Dumbledore replied.
