Voldemort was contemplating his life, the tragedies, the life in the orphanage, his school days, and how one of those rich purebloods made fun of him during his first day of classes after he promised himself to be more social and yet, that interaction ruined everything and made him realize that he had no place in this country unless he claims it.

Of course, he took care of that guy and no one suspected he was the one who killed him, he has done so many things beyond what people think magic can do, he has traveled across the world collecting many forms of magic and the most important thing is that he has reached immortality.

At first, he was planning to split his soul once, but then after realizing the pain your mind goes through after piercing your soul, he realized one thing, that it's better to slice in more tiny pieces something that has been already sliced.

You see the only time Voldemort directly divided his soul was the first time when he killed that mud-blood Myrtle, after that, he decided to split the piece of soul that was inside the diary instead of the original in his body.

And what started with the wish to create one Horcrux, that wish made him create seven and then twelve, at that point he stopped because he didn’t have more meaningful objects to use.

And the best thing about diving his soul anchor and not his main soul was his mind wasn’t completely lost, or at least that’s what he thinks as no sane person should be thinking about splitting their soul.

This is the consequence of the path he has been walking since the day he was born, he has rejected the light and embraced the darkness and if that arrogant boy thought he was going to get rid of him easily then he was about to get an interesting surprise.

“Get up,” Harry said with a cold tone as he stared at the figure of Voldemort lying in the middle of the crater that brought him to this dimension.

Harry hated being so patient, he actually wanted to kill him already but not only he has to be alive, but he also had to be completely worn out so they could use the special veritaserum Harry had ready in case he was dealing with strong people like the Bellatrix from his universe.

That’s why he needs Voldemort to wake up and keep fighting so he can continue spending energy and magic that he won’t be able to use once Harry finally has him in the position he wants him to be, he knew Voldemort wasn’t finished yet, so, it was better to speed things up to finally defeat him.

“Oh you’re so fun boy,” Voldemort said before he started to laugh.

Harry was confused as he saw the dark wizard laughing harder and louder and then the dark-haired wizard arched an eyebrow once he saw that the dark lord was starting to cover himself in something obscure, it was a dark energy that was embracing him and soon, he was back on his feet and not only that, he was now looking like his version from the days when he was working at Burgin and Burkes.

Harry remembers him very well because he saw those memories with the Dumbledore of his universe, Harry was surprised Tom decided to use that form now.

“Ah, it’s nice to be back, you see boy…What you have in front of you is the form I had when I reached my peak, no woman was able to withstand my charm, that idiot Hezabe or whatever the fuck her name was didn’t see it coming,” he chuckled.

Harry didn’t move but he knew who he was talking about, that lady had some of the relics of the founders that later Voldemort turned into Horcruxes.

“I learned everything that defined me for the rest of my life at that age, I was barely out of Hogwarts and I was already planning what I was going to do to take over the world, yes, there were some difficulties but in the end, those plans became a reality,” Voldemort raised his wand. “And I’m not going to let some strange boy try to take what is mine!” Voldemort declared.

Harry looked at him with a raised brow waiting for what he was planning to do and then…

“Crucio!” Screamed Voldemort and Harry quickly managed to avoid the attack.

“Tom stop playing around and—” Harry couldn’t continue because he suddenly was embraced by the same dark energy coming out from Voldemort’s body and soon, he started to scream.

Harry knew it, he was well aware of those sensations, he experienced the cruciatus curse during his training with mad-eyed Moody, the use of the unforgivables on him was allowed and Harry authorized it, he wanted to know the pain people go through when they experience it so he could never forget, he also wanted to use that pain to motivate himself to never let anyone put him through that.

And yet, here he was on the floor suffering the consequences of that curse, he managed to control his screams but it was clear that he was in pain as he twisted on the ground with a lost expression while Voldemort laughed like crazy.

“Yes, just like I thought, no matter how fast you think you can be, no one can escape from my dark cloud, it reaches my enemies no matter how far they think they can go,” Voldemort said with an amused tone before he finally decided to stop the torturing curse on the green-eyed wizard.

Then the dark wizard’s amused expression disappeared and it was replaced by a more angry one as he stared at the young wizard.

“Come on, I’m bored!” He hissed before he prepared his wand again. “Imperio!” Added the dark lord and soon, Harry was forced to get back on his feet.

Voldemort was expecting to see the broken expression on the young man's face, however, he was surprised to see he was wearing a neutral expression and that’s something he didn’t like, he wanted to see pain and misery in the eyes of his enemies, this wasn’t good.

“You arrogant boy, I’m going to show you why I’m the most feared wizard in this world!” Voldemort said with a cold tone and soon, he started shooting spells at the dark-haired wizard.

Harry on the other hand was trying to avoid them but it was useless, it was impossible to avoid his attacks as long as he used his dark cloud, and no matter how far Harry tried to go the thing always reached him alongside his spells.

“Well I see that you have great durability, that’s something I can’t deny,” Voldemort said with a not-so-amused tone as he stared at the current state of the younger wizard.

It seemed like all his spells had successfully landed on his body, however, he was still standing, he didn’t seem to easily back down, in fact, he was looking at the dark lord with a defiant expression that was making Voldemort angrier than he already was.

“I’m going to erase that annoying expression from your face, I’m tired!” The dark lord couldn’t stand looking at the younger wizard with that expression on his face.

It was an expression that was saying that no matter what he went through, he was still superior to everyone else, Voldemort was used to seeing that expression during his days at the orphanage when other kids were adopted instead of him.

“Avada Kedravra!” Screamed Voldemort feeling happy to finally put an end to this disappointing experience.

He was clearly expecting more from this boy, however, his expression suddenly changed for a more shocked one as he felt a small light pierce through his stomach, causing him to lose the concentration to keep the cloud going and now, standing in front of him was the emerald-eyed wizard and he had a creepy smile on his face.
