********************
Chapter Begins:
Black's breathing had quickened under the yellow hood.
There was a slight tremble in his hand that held the Stone.
As if guided by a great cue of fate, Black brought out another Item from the Inventory.
The yellow ball oozed hideous, yellowness, with countless stars birthing and dying within it seemingly.
Black looked at The Philosopher's Stone and the Eon Soul Dew and the Lucky Intuition No. 13 repeated itself in his mind endlessly.
All that was left to do now was to cause a resonance between different timelines using his authority as The Crawling Chaos — Nyarlathotep… and then…
A demonic grin rooted itself over Black's lips, his black eyes donning a purple ring.
"What took you so long?" Black asked, putting away the Items. "I thought you would never come on time…"
He turned around, faced the wizard, and greeted him like a friend.
"… Albus Dumbeldore."
…
Albus Dumbledore was growing more powerful by the day.
This was a fact not unknown to Kai. However, he hadn't paid much attention to it before, given the matter of Quidditch Cup and then, later, Black's disappearance, followed by the Cursed Vault of Ice, occupying him to the fullest.
He couldn't ignore it anymore, though.
With the timeline evolving toward the Pillar status, Albus would only grow stronger.
Kai hadn't survived everything that he had been to by waiting out, though.
He needed to do something about it and he needed to do it now.
And what Kai decided on was — Trauma!
A magical defeat, loss of friends and loved ones, and even scars…
These things could never force the Supreme Mugwump to back down, sending his thoughts into turmoil.
It mattered little what Dumbledore went through.
As a major storyline Character, his fate would ultimately bounce back, making him come back stronger than ever.
It was then Kai came across a deranged individual while thinking of these things.
An individual, who despite being utterly powerful, was a slave of his mind, experiences, and… traumas.
Black Ghost of the Millennial Magical Alliance!
It would be pointless to plant a trauma of that level within the Headmaster, Kai knew.
But, he could attempt to near the boundary of degeneracy — he could attempt to force trauma with the methods available to him.
…
"What took you so long?" the Yellow Warlock asked. "I thought you would never come on time… Albus Dumbledore."
Albus' blue eyes had turned dark, black flaming Mana crackling around him.
In his hand, the Elder Wand was causing the space to ripple as if in the very next moment it would explode with the greatest magic.
The Headmaster looked at Harry fallen face down on the floor, covered in blood.
There were bite marks, long scars, and scraped knuckles on the boy's body, but Harry was alive.
The Yellow Warlock followed Albus' gaze and looked at the boy as well. "Pitiful child," he noted.
"Get… away… from… him." Albus' throat had gone harsh, his words coming out like delayed explosions.
Black smiled. Yes. It was happening. He could see it.
Slowly, but surely, the Mirror Albus was nearing the Pillar status.
Black's bones were itching.
Lucky Intuitions were firing warnings over and over.
The Ad Infinitum was replaying the planned sequence of events in his head.
For this to work, they couldn't afford even a single misplaced word. Much less needed to be said about the incoming steps.
"Look at all this," the Yellow Warlock said, pointing at the cursed ice lingering on the corners. "Look at the boy. Look at… Voldemort."
Albus' head snapped up.
He had seen the ghostly apparition. However, he hadn't given much attention to it, thinking it to be the Yellow Warlock's trick to distract him.
Now that the dark wizard pointed it out, Albus saw it; clearer than ever.
The dusty, ghostly apparition churned unto itself, taking the shape of a face.
Albus shook.
"Dumbledore…" the Dark Lord hissed, cackling. "We meet again."
It had been a year since the Headmaster had come face to face with Voldemort. The Obscurus had blasted his old enemy to pieces, Albus remembered.
However, Albus knew that hadn't been nearly enough to kill Voldemort, too.
Now that he finally laid eyes on the Dark Lord, he confirmed the ill doubts keeping him awake at nights — If Voldemort was alive, then surely Ekrizdis was as well.
Black could almost see the Headmaster's thoughts, making him grin.
First Traumatic blow — Done!
Dumbledore would never know that the Voldemort he had fought during the Battle of Legends wasn't Voldemort, but a product of Kai's Skill.
The fact that Voldemort, birthed by Skill — Dark Mark, had his own thoughts and acted independently of Kai's control, also contributed to giving a touch of realism to all this.
Also, Kai had been keeping both the Lord of Azkaban and Voldemort out of the limelight, taking responsibility for all their heinous acts, giving a false impression that both were gravely injured, if not dead.
To see one of them alive, within the Hogwarts, and talking…
The setback Albus Dumbledore must have received at this moment was worth celebrating, Black thought.
"This is all because of you, Albus," the Yellow Warlock continued. "It happened not because you were weak. It happened because you were… are strong. Stronger than anyone in this world. And yet, you failed to save your friends."
Albus Dumbledore gritted his teeth.
The Yellow Warlock chuckled. "Not only you, though," he commented, putting his hands in the long sleeves. "This entire world… the entire wizardkind is rotten.
"To encourage solidarity, and yet discriminate against the muggles… just how much of a hypocrite are you?"
The Headmaster couldn't keep listening to it any longer.
"You know nothing about me… about us, creature!" he roared.
"Yes?" the Yellow Warlock questioned. "Then tell me this. If I kill Harry now, what will you do?"
Albus Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what took hold of him. In this moment, all restraints he had ever put on himself vanished.
The Elder Wand lifted and cast the curse he had never thought of casting on anyone. Ever.
The blackest bolt of lightning, purely evil, crackled across the chamber as Albus thundered — Avada Kedavra!
The Killing Curse seemed alive as it slithered through the space with vengeance.
And then, letting out a spectacular, blinding flash, it landed on the Yellow Warlock.
The blinding flash, though, couldn't hide the absolutely ridiculous sight from Albus' eyes.
The Yellow Wizard slid his right, bony hand out of his left sleeve and… and… and… he grabbed the killing curse, clenching the magic into nothingness.
Simultaneously, the Lightning Bolt Tattoo on Black's forehead lit up as it negated the Mortal Magical Attack.

…
Black could do this only once every hour.
To Albus Dumbledore's bad luck, he didn't know this.
Second Traumatic blow — Done!
In sheer surprise, Albus stumbled back a step, disbelieving his eyes.
If the Yellow Warlock had deflected the Killing Curse using his cloak, then he could have made some guesses, making his peace with it.
But, no. The creature had grabbed it. GRABBED IT!
It was a Killing Curse. It was the Elder Wand. It was him — Stronger than ever he had been in his life.
The Yellow Warlock didn't even retaliate.
He put his hand back into the sleeve and chuckled. "No wonder," he drawled. "And now look at you, Dumbledore. What have you become? Look at yourself… in the Mirror."
As if the world was forcing him to do so, Albus shifted his gaze and looked into the Mirror of Erised.
What he saw there…
"Haha!" The Yellow Warlock's mocking laugh echoed in Albus' ears like a strike of lightning.
"Are you… powerful enough within the Mirror, Albus?" he asked, guessing the image in the Headmaster's eyes with 99.9999% accuracy using the AI. "And now look at me.
"Tell me, oh great protector of innocents, what is the difference between you and me?"
Albus looked at the Yellow Warlock and his grip on the Elder Wand loosened.
Third Traumatic blow — Done!
But… there was one more blow in Black's arsenal.
"Think about it," the Yellow Warlock urged. "Just like… your lover has done."
For a moment, Albus failed to realize what he was hearing.
Then he heard steps, coming closer and closer. Someone was coming out from behind the Mirror. Someone… Albus had long thought dead.
…
"Dumbledore," Gellert Grindelwald greeted his old friend with a smile. "Death is not the end."
As if that was a cue, Voldemort's ghostly apparition lunged at Orochimaru's Reanimation and became one with it.
Gellert Grindelwald turned around and showed Voldemort's face on the back of his head. Then, with a snap of Yellow Warlock's fingers, they all disappeared.
In the chamber, none could hear Albus' wrathful scream and none could see the pain boiling in his heart.
Fourth Traumatic blow — Done!!!
