Voldemort replied, "I didn't have any such thoughts, it was just inconvenient for me just now."

Voldemort showed enough respect to the enraged Grim Reaper to avoid trouble.

He asked respectfully, "What brings you here?"

Thanatos composed himself and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to handle?"

Voldemort replied, "I have gathered enough men and am planning to take action."

He had just come up with a way to test Zicomo.

However, Thanatos seemed to misunderstand Voldemort's meaning, thinking that he was preparing to attack Zicomo.

Thanatos, eager to eliminate the one who had stolen His power, decided to give Voldemort some help.

His phantom waved its hand, and a pile of black glass spheres flew through space and fell in front of Voldemort.

Thanatos said, "Very well, this is the strength I've sponsored for those men you have. Make sure you eliminate that human who also possesses the power of death as soon as possible."

Chapter 291 Lucius's sneak attack, Death's favor

Voldemort never expected that Death would bring him such an unexpected reward this time.

I wonder what Zicomo did to offend this Grim Reaper.

It's astonishing that He would go to such great lengths to kill him.

However, this suited Voldemort's intentions perfectly, since he had already planned to seek revenge on Zicomo anyway.

His subordinates have become stronger and are better able to complete the tasks he assigns them.

Voldemort said, "As you wish, I will arrange for my men to do so immediately."

Thanatos nodded and said, "Act quickly, don't keep me waiting."

After saying this, Thanatos's phantom slowly disappeared.

Voldemort used the Levitation Charm to pick up the black glass ball from the ground, and the moment he grasped it, he understood its purpose.

The method of use is very simple; just swallow the glass ball.

Its effect was similar to Death's modification of his soul, only much weaker.

Those who consume these glass orbs can borrow a trace of Thanatos's death power to greatly enhance the power of their spells.

Of course, everything comes at a price.

The ordinary human body is simply unable to control the power of death.

If you force its use, you will have to pay the price with your lifespan.

However, neither Thanatos nor Voldemort took this side effect to heart.

For them, as long as they can achieve their goal, that's all that matters.

As for the lives of his Death Eaters, that was not their concern.

Voldemort summoned his minions and ordered them to eat the glass marbles.

The Death Eaters had no idea what it was, and they dared not ask. They simply took one each, praying that it wasn't some kind of poison.

After swallowing it, they found that their strength had increased to some extent.

Some even went so far as to use magic on their surroundings on a whim.

In their excitement, they dismantled quite a few things until Voldemort looked at them with a sinister gaze, at which point they stopped.

Voldemort snorted and didn't bother with such a trivial matter.

He said, "You have all felt the increase in your own strength. We will be taking action soon, so be on your guard and give it your all."

"I hope none of you will hold me back, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

All the Death Eaters respectfully replied, "We will obey your commands."

Bellatrix stepped forward and asked, "Lord Dark Lord, what should we do next?"

Voldemort said in a low voice, "Next, let's go settle some scores with an old friend!"

“Bella, take a squad of elite troops and come with me.”

His operation was merely a test of Zikomo's abilities; there was no need for him to mobilize his entire force.

Bellatrix replied, "Yes!"

…………

Malfoy Manor was peaceful and serene at the moment, and Draco was playing with his dragon in the yard.

Until Voldemort and his Death Eaters appeared here.

The arrival of these uninvited guests shattered the tranquility of the manor.

Noticing the commotion in the yard, Lucius came out of the house with a serious expression.

He stood beside Draco, wand in hand, and together with Draco, who wore a similarly serious expression, they warily watched Voldemort.

Lucius asked, "Voldemort, weren't you dead? How come you're here?"

He thought of the rumors he had heard from the Ministry of Magic a while ago.

It is said that all the prisoners in Azkaban escaped en masse, and that this event was related to Voldemort.

It seems this rumor is not unfounded.

(To avoid causing panic in the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic did not publicize the escape of the Azkaban prisoners.)

Moreover, seeing Voldemort's hostile demeanor, Lucius's mind raced as he considered a way to escape.

Voldemort did not answer Lucius's question.

Instead, he said with a look of deep emotion, "Lucius, my old friend. It's only been a few months, and you dare to call me by my first name now. You've grown quite bold!"

Lucius wasn't stupid. After what happened in the last Triwizard Tournament, he had essentially betrayed Voldemort to his face.

The respectful form of address has lost its meaning.

Even if Lucius respectfully calls Voldemort "Lord Dark Lord," Voldemort will not let him go.

So Lucius simply called Voldemort by his name.

Lucius said, "At this point, does it matter how I address you? You didn't come to see me just to argue about how to address you, did you?"

As Lucius spoke, he gestured to Draco beside him, signaling him to find an opportunity to call for reinforcements.

Voldemort noticed Lucius's actions.

"Lucius, you're still as cunning and calculating as ever."

Voldemort chuckled and said, "In that case, why don't you settle our old scores? And see what the consequences are for betraying me?"

Voldemort's words were so obvious that Lucius knew perfectly well that he was there to cause him trouble.

“A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on; I always need to leave a way out for my family,” Lucius said. “I just didn’t expect you to have another chance to make a comeback.”

....... ....... .......

"Yes, I didn't expect to be back so soon."

Voldemort said, "So, are you ready to die?"

Lucius shrugged and said, "I'm not the kind of person who will give up easily."

"Avada Kedavra!"

This curse did not come from Voldemort, but from Lucius's surprise attack.

Lucius pointed his wand at Voldemort, and the green light of the Killing Curse shot out from the tip of his wand, striking Voldemort.

Voldemort showed no intention of dodging, allowing the Killing Curse to strike him.

However, the Killing Curse only slightly wrinkled Voldemort's clothes.

Lucius's eyes widened when he saw that Voldemort was unharmed.

He couldn't believe that Voldemort was immune to the Killing Curse.

Voldemort just said that he didn't expect to be back so soon.
