Voldemort, due to his Horcruxes, can’t be fully destroyed, so sealing him is the only option.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That painting,” Harry murmured. “If this timeline is already frozen, Neville can’t send it back to the past anymore—so where did the painting come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. The painting and the Stasis Charm were both given to you by me,” Barty admitted. “After I learned the Time Instant Matrix had malfunctioned, I spent time devising an alternative way to seal Voldemort. When I found the answer, I returned to the past, disguised as Neville, and delivered the painting and the Stasis Charm to you—because Neville is also a time traveler, and you’d naturally assume it was a solution sent from your future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, your plan shifted from the Time Instant Matrix to the Stasis Charm, then to the TARDIS explosion—all aimed at Voldemort,” Harry said. “You must want Voldemort dead. Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev thinks the same, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, have you considered that if the TARDIS hadn’t exploded, the timeline wouldn’t have been locked? We could’ve returned to the past, to before the final battle, and ambushed and captured Voldemort. That’s a perfectly viable option.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter either way,” Harry suddenly recalled all the events he’d experienced during his time travel. “So this is fate’s choice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we walked out together, I’d tell you that. But since it’s already come to this, I’ll be honest,” Barty smiled bitterly. “The TARDIS is also a paradox machine—in other words, I can choose which path to take: safely ambushing and arresting Voldemort, or blowing up this timeline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I chose to blow up this timeline because Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev also wants to eliminate Dumbledore and the Department of Mysteries—and this is a rare opportunity to accomplish all goals at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why…?” Harry’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A wizard strong enough reaches the level of a strategic deterrent no nation can ignore. He can use his magic in countless unpredictable ways to launch strategic strikes against another nation—and we have no means, through ordinary wizards or Muggles, to threaten him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me be clearer: if any nation attempts to invade, destroy, or seriously threaten Britain, and Dumbledore flies into a rage and attacks that nation without restraint, he cannot be stopped. Ordinary wizards pose no threat to him; all Muggle methods are easily dismantled. No nation can handle such a scenario.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To foreigners, whether Dumbledore or Voldemort wins, it’s just Britain’s civil war. Whoever triumphs ensures Britain still has a powerful, deterrent wizard. And because of his Horcruxes, Voldemort is even harder to deal with than Dumbledore. So if there’s a chance for them to destroy each other, Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev won’t let it slip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry couldn’t help asking: “But Dumbledore’s Death was already marked—why the urgency?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The main reason is that it’s incidental,” Barty Jr. shrugged. “There are other factors too—like how Dumbledore is deeply principled and would interfere with our plans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that Death is cut off and both Dumbledore and Voldemort are permanently sealed in this frozen timeline, Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev can finally launch his grand campaign. Using magic as an aid, he’ll develop high-yield weapons for conventional warfare—even devices capable of altering the Muggle battlefield. That’s the future of the Cold War.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the most cutting-edge and urgent challenge is using magic to counter nuclear strikes: Malice Detection and Prevention Systems, mid-flight nuclear strike interception protocols, anti-nuclear bomb wards, radiation-cleansing charms. Once Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev solves the nuclear problem, he’ll dare escalate the Cold War into a hot war. With wizard troops as support, he’s confident he can sweep through Europe in three months without nuclear warfare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what are the wizards of other nations doing?” Barty Jr. smiled at Harry. “With the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix leaderless, a little guidance will make them turn on each other, summon allies, and drag all European wizards into this war between Dark Magic and anti-Dark Magic. The war will last ten to twenty years—until the Soviet Union accumulates enough technological superiority, then ends it all, freeing everyone from their tedious secrecy laws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry felt his whole body trembling. He forced calm and spoke: “But you won’t be able to handle Xuan Jun. The Magical Congress won’t stand idly by.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we’re still discussing how to involve the Magical Congress. Actually, once the Bai Gong discovers our war preparations, the Magical Congress will inevitably intervene. This war isn’t just about preventing European wizards and Muggles from cooperating—it also conveniently distracts the Bai Gong and the Magical Congress.” Barty Jr. exhaled. “As for Xuan Jun—we never intended to oppose him. He’s content in his eternal, self-sufficient Celestial Empire and has little desire for expansion. Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev has met with him several times; they seem to have reached some agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, have you noticed I haven’t moved in a long time?” Barty said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry only then realized it was true—he’d merely sat on the rubble, moving only his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My time is almost up. My legs have lost sensation.” He forced a smile. “But I’m glad—at least before I freeze, I could tell you all this. Someone will know that behind all this lies a grand plan, that every step we took was deliberate, meticulously designed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must say how vital it is that magic and Muggle worlds share a single leader—and how outstanding a commander Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev is.” His voice carried a hint of satisfaction, but his raised hand could no longer fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry stepped forward. “I heard you’re an Animagus who can change appearance. What was your name before you became Barty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was a Doctor then… oh… I don’t want to go…” He never got to say his name before freezing. Harry sighed. Perhaps it was a kind of release to let him sleep forever with the Doctor’s name unspoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry sat quietly. He knew he had one month—but not to wait for death. He would spend it hoping. His hope was Zhang Qiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the timeline was already frozen, then the black dog he saw in the Magic Tower, the whispers he heard, and Zhang Qiu’s voice telling him to retrieve the Time Instant Matrix just before the explosion—none of those things should have happened. Yet they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The premature anomaly of the Time Instant Matrix, and Zhang Qiu’s mention of a “time rift”—this gave Harry a theory: if the river of time truly was a river, and an explosion occurred at one point, not only would water splash out, but bubbles might enter the river. Perhaps this “bubble” was the time rift generated by the explosion—and Zhang Qiu must already be planning something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry sat where he was, encouraging himself, yet couldn’t stop thinking about Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev’s plan. He had to admit—it was highly feasible. Had Barty Jr. not revealed the truth, Harry might have foolishly imagined returning to lead everyone against the Death Eaters, using Fleur and Krum to unite European wizards, slowly eradicating Voldemort’s remnants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he saw he couldn’t do that. The Soviet Union wanted the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix to fight each other—more chaos, the better. And the Bai Gong clearly hadn’t yet discovered where Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev’s decisive moves lay; they were blindly deploying everywhere, only causing chaos in the wizarding world. Perhaps they even thought Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev’s key lay with Harry himself—so much so that they sent people to aid the Death Eaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Donald Fontroy, the only one who seemed to stand with Harry, didn’t care at all about defeating the Dark Lord. Like his side-project films, his attention was fixed on his intellectual secretary and pool parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went out, Harry thought, what should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Britain’s perspective, he should seek some truce with the Death Eaters, then quickly persuade the Cabinet through the Ministry of Magic to begin researching how to use magic to strengthen Muggle armies or evade nuclear strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he truly didn’t want to reconcile with the people who killed his parents and tortured Neville’s parents—even negotiation felt repulsive. In Harry’s heart, even if he had to oppose Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev, he must first clean up the Death Eaters—or perhaps, he didn’t have to oppose Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry realized then that ideological struggle had already been happening beside him without his knowledge: he’d actually thought selling Britain to the Soviet Union wouldn’t be so bad—after all, Soviet systems and ideals were superior. And Ron, since accepting the legacy of the Knights of the Round Table, had become a loyal defender of Britain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Bai Gong, as long as Britain remained Britain, the situation remained favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-21T04:54:29.094Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
