As they were talking, the others noticed Dumbledore and his group and looked over. They were all somewhat surprised to see Yi Shuihan talking to Dumbledore and wondered about Yi Shuihan's identity. Of course, they were also shocked when they saw Voldemort.

Yi Shuihan noticed that many of these people seemed to have not only fear of Voldemort but also awe and a deep-seated fanaticism. Needless to say, these were Voldemort's spies.

“Professor Dumbledore, we are losing control of him. Please help us.” Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, walked over and spoke, his eyes instinctively avoiding Voldemort.

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Even if I were to do it, I couldn't kill it. Perhaps you should ask the gentleman next to me to give it a try."

"he?"

Fudge then began to take Yi Shuihan seriously, since Dumbledore's words made it clear that he was no good, but Yi Shuihan was, which meant that in Dumbledore's eyes, Yi Shuihan was stronger than him.

"This is your job, it wouldn't be right to leave it to me!"

Yi Shuihan could naturally solve the problem. No matter how strong Godzilla was, it was at most a bronze-level being. Compared to Yi Shuihan, who had already achieved silver-level immortality, there was a fundamental difference between them. However, such a simple action was not his style.

“You can tell Minister Fudge what you want. I think he should meet your request for the sake of the safety of the whole world.”

Dumbledore was a shrewd man, and he immediately uttered those words.

Fudge was already overwhelmed by Godzilla, and his position as minister was even becoming increasingly precarious because of it. He was extremely eager to resolve the matter and immediately promised, "Whatever it is, as long as it's within the capabilities of the Ministry of Magic, we'll do it, as long as we can kill it."

"Anything the Ministry of Magic can do? What if I wanted to be Minister of Magic?"

"..."

Fuji stared at Yi Shuihan in astonishment. This request was something he simply couldn't agree to. He had gone to such lengths for the position of minister. If he weren't the minister, would he care about all this?

"Haha, just kidding. I have no interest in the Minister of Magic. I just wanted to lighten the mood since everyone was so tense."

Chapter 539, Let Magic Shine in the World

Yi Shuihan's words eased the atmosphere considerably. Fuji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was indeed a little nervous, but I'm much better now. You're so humorous."

"Humorous?" Dumbledore remained silent. He couldn't be sure if Yi Shuihan's earlier statement about wanting to be Minister of Magic was genuine, as neither his facial expression nor his tone suggested any pretense.

"Alright, enough joking, let's get down to business. If you want me to solve this, I only have one request. If you agree to that, I guarantee it will no longer be a problem."

Dumbledore's serious expression made him focus his attention, vaguely realizing that what Yi Shuihan was about to say might be very important.

"Please tell me."

Fudge felt an extremely strong sense of oppression emanating from Yi Shuihan, so much so that he even forgot about Dumbledore and Voldemort.

"I am actually somewhat dissatisfied with the current state of the world. Why does the wizarding world need to be hidden from ordinary people, what you call Muggles? Ordinary people also have the right to know and need to understand the true nature of the world. I hope that the Ministry of Magic can cooperate with the British leadership to reveal the truth about the wizarding world."

"hiss"

Yi Shuihan's voice was not quiet. Besides Dumbledore and the others who were nearby, those who had been watching the situation could also hear it. Immediately, a series of gasps were heard, and everyone, including Dumbledore and Voldemort, looked at Yi Shuihan with horrified eyes.

These words had a tremendous impact on them. They challenged the absolute rules that had been established in the magical world for hundreds of years, which was far more shocking than the idea of ​​the undulating earth demons ruling the magical world.

Just think about it for a moment: if this were to actually happen, what kind of impact would it have on the entire wizarding world and the Muggle world? In the worst-case scenario, it could spark a world war between the wizarding and Muggle worlds, or even, to exaggerate a bit, the world itself could be in danger of being destroyed.

The magical world is actually known to high-ranking officials in various countries. For example, the British leadership has connections with the Ministry of Magic, which often asks its leaders to cooperate in concealing the magical world.

The fact that the country's top leaders know about it does not mean they can tolerate everyone knowing. The reason they cooperate in concealing the truth instead of revealing it is entirely because doing so is more in their own interest.

Imagine what would happen if an ordinary person who never believed in mysterious powers learned about the magical world. There would be only a few possible reactions: first, shock; second, a frantic pursuit of magical power; and third, hatred towards the entire magical world after realizing they cannot possess it, feeling it is unbalanced, and an irrational desire to completely destroy what they cannot have, which would naturally lead to a great war.

The second type is that the first reaction is still shock, followed by an inexplicable rejection, feeling that magic should not exist, and the result is also in a bad way.

The third possibility is that they don't care, or even find it amazing, and then everything goes smoothly. This is the least likely scenario.

The fourth type is those who want to discover the true meaning of magic, believing that people who can use magic are all mutants, and thus capture wizards for research, resulting in conflict between the two sides.

There are other possibilities that I won't go into detail about, but in short, if the magical world were truly exposed to the public eye, it would definitely cause some upheaval, and conflict would be unavoidable.

Compared to those with magical powers, those without magic are undoubtedly easier to manage. The leaders of various countries do not want their people to think about magic all day long, rather than the country.

It's better not to know about magic. If you did know, you would instinctively pursue that power. That's undeniable. Humans are such strange creatures.

Once you possess power, you'll have extra thoughts, wanting a status and position commensurate with that power.

"We agreed not to joke around, but you're still joking. You know that even I have absolutely no say in this matter."

Fuji chuckled dryly, then said, how much he wished Yi Shuihan would say that it was also a joke.

However, Yi Shuihan showed no intention of taking back his words. He simply looked at Fuji with a faint smile and an expressionless gaze.

Whether Fudge agrees or not is irrelevant. Yi Shuihan has decided to complete the mission, so the magic world can no longer remain hidden from the public eye. That's all.

"Then let's find someone who can make the decision."

After coldly uttering those words, Yi Shuihan stopped looking at Fudge. Fudge was just a nobody. Despite his title as Minister of Magic, he was nothing special. Yi Shuihan could talk to him if he wanted, or completely ignore him if he didn't.

"Where did you come from, daring to say such irresponsible things? Do you know what the consequences would be if the magic world were exposed? Many wizards' families don't even know they possess magic. It's not that they don't want to tell them, but these people hate wizards and believe that wizards are evil beings. If their identities are exposed, they might be abandoned by their families." An old wizard said angrily to Yi Shuihan.

"I'm just making a suggestion; the decision is yours. At most, if you don't agree, I won't intervene."

Seeing that the other person was an elderly person, Yi Shuihan was not angry and still spoke in a nonchalant tone.

These words left everyone speechless, only then realizing the current situation. Yi Shuihan seemed to be the only hope to eliminate this terrifying magical creature. If he didn't take action, the disaster that would occur once the magical creature fully recovered would be even greater.

Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to do.

Looking at Godzilla, which was still struggling frantically, Yi Shuihan felt a sense of gratitude towards it. If it weren't for it, the current situation wouldn't have been like this, giving them an opportunity to force the magic world to compromise.

In fact, with Yi Shuihan's strength, he didn't need the cooperation of the magic world at all; he could have easily forced it. However, if there was a more secure outcome and the losses were minimized, Yi Shuihan would be happy to see it happen. He wasn't an absolute good person, but he wasn't entirely evil either.

Chapter 540, A Society of Wizards for All

"What a crazy idea! I agree with you, sir. Why don't you help me regain my power? Once I rule the wizarding world, I'll bring it out into the world of Muggles. Wizards shouldn't hide; they should walk openly in the world."

Voldemort's sinister voice rang out, causing Dumbledore's expression to change. The others even took out their wands and pointed them at Yi Shuihan and Voldemort.

Yi Shuihan showed absolutely no interest in Voldemort's suggestion, not even bothering to react, which relieved Dumbledore.

To ease the tension, Dumbledore knew what he should say. He began, “I once had a friend who also disagreed with the idea that wizards should hide, but his ideas were more extreme. He believed that wizards should rule over ordinary people, and that wizards with powerful magic should be the darlings of the heavens, beings above ordinary people.”

"For this, he did many things that the magical world could not tolerate, and gained immense power, he..."

“I know who that is, Grindelwald, known as one of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time,” Yi Shuihan interrupted Dumbledore, only then realizing that these people seemed to have misunderstood something.

His goal wasn't to rule the world using magic.

Clearing his throat, Yi Shuihan began his charade—no, wait, his speech. For some reason, a scene from an audition flashed into his mind. He was standing on the stage, and the teachers above him said, "Please begin your performance."

"Actually, I wasn't originally a wizard; I didn't even have the most basic magic to become one..."

"This is impossible."

Before he could finish speaking, some people didn't believe him and cast doubtful glances at him.

“I can testify to this. I was just as surprised as everyone else at the time. If Yi hadn’t shown me the true source of his power, an energy completely different from magic, I probably wouldn’t have believed it.”

To increase his persuasiveness, Yi Shuihan also took out a spiritual sword wrapped in lightning from the surrounding void at the right time. Its power was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

Voldemort's expression was the best. Seeing the spirit swords again, especially the greater number and the more dazzling lightning effects than before, he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"This is a common application of spiritual energy." Yi Shuihan looked at everyone's expressions, feeling quite satisfied, and then calmly said.

Many people felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this. This was just a normal application; it felt like someone could die from just a touch. It was even more powerful than the Unforgivable Curse. If it were a truly advanced application, it would be unimaginable what kind of scene that would be.

No wonder Dumbledore said during their fight that he might be able to deal with this terrifying magical creature if he were to intervene; his strength certainly justifies it.

“No more questions, right? Then I’ll continue,” Yi Shuihan looked around. “I was very interested in magic, and without magic power, I couldn’t cast spells. So I went to Dumbledore to fight him and asked him for a way to give ordinary people magic power. And later, as you might have guessed, I successfully gained magic power.”

A powerful surge of magic emanated from Yi Shuihan, more than Dumbledore's, making him a powerful magnet that drew everyone's attention.

Thinking of Yi Shuihan's words, many people felt confused. How could someone without magic power possess such immense magical power? What's wrong with this world?

"Since I can possess magic and become a wizard, what about ordinary people? Of course they can too. I didn't have magic before, so I couldn't feel the charm of magic. But after I gained magic, I truly realized how interesting magic is. How can ordinary people not be able to experience such interesting magic, or even know anything about it? So I decided to share magic with everyone."

"Does magic just seem like an interesting thing to him?" Dumbledore asked thoughtfully, sensing a deeper meaning in those words.

Before Dumbledore could think further, Yi Shuihan continued speaking.

"I have an idea. Since I can possess magic, why not give ordinary people a chance to also possess magic? Wizards and Muggles have conflicts, so why not just have everyone become a wizard? I believe that if that day really comes, the world will cheer for it!"

"In a world without Muggles, where everyone studies magic, magic will surely flourish like never before. What awaits us then is a brand new golden age of magic, a new era, and the history of mankind will be completely rewritten."

Although Yi Shuihan's words were not very ornate, lacking many beautiful words to embellish them, they were undeniably shocking. Yi Shuihan's words completely changed everyone's previous perception of him; he was not an extreme person like Grindelwald, but a truly selfless person with great love.

Regardless of the possibility of Yi Shuihan's idea succeeding, everyone honestly agrees with the theory that if everyone becomes a wizard, the conflict will disappear.

Some wizards even felt that Yi Shuihan's words resonated with them, and they longed for the universal wizard society he described.

"But is it really possible for that to succeed? A society of wizards for all."

A relatively young wizard hesitated before speaking, and it was clear from his expression that he was tempted.

"Why not? I can have such powerful magic. If we work hard, it's entirely possible for ordinary people to have magic as well. As long as there are wizards like you who are striving for this goal, I believe that day is not far away."

Yi Shuihan smiled and looked at the young wizard with encouraging eyes.

“Yi, you should know that the reason you can possess magic is because you are special. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand the magical impact of potions.”

Dumbledore pointed out a problem that was currently standing in Yi Shuihan's way.

Chapter 541, Pilot Program

"Should we give up just because there are difficulties? Wouldn't that be selfish? The world is developing. Ordinary people can now go to the moon. Can't our magical world develop and research potions or spells that can give ordinary people magic power? I believe that as long as we work together, we can overcome these difficulties quickly. There's a saying that goes, 'You'll never know how much potential you have until you push yourself to the limit.'"

When Yi Shuihan said this, he appeared righteous and excited, but in reality, he was completely different. He found that he could say such inspirational platitudes and empty words so easily, and he felt that he had grown up.

Of course, if it can really be done, then this statement isn't wrong, since Yi Shuihan really intends to do it.

Those who become wizards are not stupid. After all, there is a lot to learn to become a qualified wizard, and without a smart mind, it is absolutely impossible to go down the path of wizardry.

Every successful wizard is equivalent to a scientist; profound magic is no simpler than scientific research.

While the scenes described by Yi Shuihan were certainly something for the wizards to dream about, they remained calm and rational, considering reality. No one acted rashly or followed Yi Shuihan without thinking. Even the young wizard who had previously asked Yi Shuihan questions fell silent.

"They're not easy to fool!"

Since Yi Shuihan was aware of this, he simply kept quiet to avoid wasting his breath. If things were to go according to his plan, he couldn't rely on these people to take the initiative; he had to take the initiative himself.

“I admire your ideas, but with my limited authority, I really can’t do what you’re saying, open up the magical world. How about this: complete openness is impossible, but opening it up within a city is possible. As long as you can deal with this monster, you can choose any city in England.”

Fudge made a final effort. To be honest, his suggestion of a city-wide public announcement was enough to shake his position as Minister of Magic. If it were actually implemented, he could easily become a sinner and fall from his position as Minister of Magic. However, since he had to deal with the Godzilla issue, his fate would be the same anyway. He might as well take a gamble and maybe he could continue to serve as Minister of Magic.

Fudge would never have had such a thought before. But after witnessing Yi Shuihan's astonishing strength, he suddenly realized that if he could cling to Yi Shuihan's coattails, there would truly be a turning point. Yi Shuihan was stronger than Dumbledore, and even Voldemort, who once struck fear into the hearts of the entire wizarding world, seemed far inferior to him.

The strong always have certain privileges. If Yi Shuihan were not strong enough, he would probably have been sent to Azkaban by these wizards when he made these remarks.

Should we conduct a pilot program first?

Yi Shuihan understood Fuji's thoughts. Although it didn't reach the ideal situation, it wasn't unacceptable.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded in Fudge's expectant gaze.

No one else intervened, and even Dumbledore tacitly agreed with Fudge's statement, indicating that Godzilla was indeed putting a lot of pressure on them.

The feat of one person causing the entire Ministry of Magic to compromise would likely cause Yi Shuihan's fame to skyrocket if reported in the Prophet's Diary, possibly even reaching Dumbledore's level.

Having promised to deal with Godzilla, Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't delay and planned to fulfill his responsibility immediately. He didn't consider that if he solved the problem first, Fudge might go back on his word. If that really happened, he would let Fudge know what the consequences would be of angering someone he shouldn't have.

When Yi Shuihan approached Godzilla, Godzilla seemed to realize the danger posed by Yi Shuihan and suddenly fell silent, staring straight at Yi Shuihan and following his movements.

Yi Shuihan circled Godzilla once, then said to the wizards who were using magic to bind Godzilla, "You can go and rest now. Leave the rest to me."

The wizards were surprised by Yi Shuihan's words and immediately turned their attention to Fudge.

"If you let it go, it will go berserk."

"you do not believe me?"

"Let it go."

Godzilla eventually regained its freedom, but the scene of it going berserk as the wizards had anticipated did not occur. Godzilla's first action after regaining its mobility was to slowly retreat, seemingly trying to increase the distance between itself and Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan smiled slightly. If Godzilla retreated, then he would advance.

Then an extremely bizarre scene unfolded: a colossal beast, many times larger than a human, was retreating in front of a person—a complete reversal of roles.

Godzilla doesn't actually have much intelligence, and for some reason, its mind is currently in a state of chaos; it's only controlled by instinct.

Yi Shuihan's aggressive behavior finally angered Godzilla, who roared and assumed an attack stance.

Everyone tensed up. Even Yi Shuihan, who was in the lead, took out his magic wands, ready to cast spells at any moment.

"I can't hear you clearly. Please speak more clearly."

Yi Shuihan picked at his ear and said nonchalantly, without making any defensive moves.

What greeted Yi Shuihan was Godzilla's giant foot, which wanted to crush the little thing like Yi Shuihan.

"Let's play around with you using wizarding methods first."
