The space where life and death meet has no distinction between up, down, left, or right.
In a mysterious mist, a colossal figure appeared and disappeared, and a majestic voice resounded:
"They're all gone. First the noisy Bwonsamdi, then the silent boatman, and now I'm all alone, contemplating at this Junction of Life and Death. I'm so glad you came to see me. By the way, how long has it been since we last met?"
Robbie remarked with emotion:
"Ten thousand years have passed. Ten thousand years ago, you risked resurrection and fought Aman'Thul with your remaining body. I thought you were likely to die, but I was glad to see you still safe and sound. I just didn't expect you to be so stubborn and refuse to enter the Death Realm."
The voice, filled with fervor and pride, declared:
"An being like me, as long as there are still regrets in this world, is immortal. In these ten thousand years, I have thought a lot and my power has recovered considerably. Thanks to the help of mortals, my seven avatars in Pandaria are gathering their power, and the final moment is fast approaching."
Robbie gazed at the figure in the mist and sighed, "Ten thousand years have passed. This world has changed a lot."
The voice suddenly asked, "This is the boundary between life and death, an ominous place in Azeroth. What made you risk coming to see me?"
Robbie replied seriously, "The Elune sent a piece of your body to the ground. I suspect there's a conspiracy involved, so I've come to ask for your advice."
Robbie recounted the recent events in detail, and the voice remained silent for a long while before saying in surprise:
"The Life Plague is unique to Elune. In Moon Goddess prime, it could turn an entire star field into a wasteland. Why would she use my body as a power source? All my knowledge and memories are preserved in my soul; my tattered flesh and blood are of little use. My long period of solitude has solidified my thoughts. Allow me to ponder this carefully."
After a moment of Anjing, the mysterious entity spoke in an impatient voice:
"No, no, I'm too slow! Run! This is a trap! Elune's true target is me. First, she'll slay a piece of my flesh, then find my soul, and then she can enslave everything I have. Damn it, you're being followed!"
Robbie confidently stated, "I can guarantee that no one can follow me."
The mysterious being sighed, "You have no idea of the power of the Elune. Over countless ages, she has gathered many incredible beings to Emissary Moon Goddess."
"As expected of Y'Shaarj, he saw through the Moon Goddess's scheme so quickly."
A voice rang out, Robbie whirled around to see the Human Veteran floating silently in the air, smiling as he gazed at the figure in the mist.
It's you!
There's only one entrance to this Junction of Life and Death. Robbie set up Magic Barrier at the entrance, Magic Barrier is perfectly intact. How did this guy get in?
The Human Veteran ignored Robbie and said with great interest:
"The fragmented soul of an Old Gods is about to become mine. With your soul, plus the flesh and blood of the Old Gods in the Argent Tournament, I will possess a portion of Power of Y'Shaarj, and the Scourge will surely be annihilated before me."
Robbie said coldly, "That depends on your strength."
Golden Power of the Holy Light and purple Arcane energy flew out from Robbie's hands, weaving together into a net of energy that enveloped the Human Veteran.
At the same time, a purple Puppet Orb appeared in Robbie's hand. Holy Light and Arcane nets trapped the Veteran, and the Veteran's shadow appeared inside the Puppet Orb.
Robbie's expression was extremely serious; although he had captured the Human Veteran, he couldn't feel happy.
The Human Veterans did not retaliate, seemingly waiting for Robbie to make a move.
A burst of fire appeared on the Puppet Orb, and the Human Veteran's body was burned to ashes.
But a ghostly figure rose from the Veteran, baring its fangs and claws as it stared at Robbie, smugly saying:
"Human, your strength is indeed formidable. You excel in Holy Light, Death, and Arcane, even rivaling Queen Azshara. But you are utterly unfamiliar with the realm of nature. Beneath life lies shadow; you cannot grasp me."
Robbie unleashed several Power of the Holy Light, but they couldn't harm the shadow in the slightest.
Meanwhile, the shadow couldn't harm Robbie, as if the two weren't even in the same space.
The being shrouded in mist whispered, "This is the power of shadow within the natural abilities. Druids can become invisible because of this power. Step back for now; our war is about to begin."
Robbie stepped back, Human Veteran laughed loudly:
"Y'Shaarj, with your wisdom, you shouldn't mistake this for a battle between us! Yes, even in your severely weakened state, I am far inferior to you, but I have the help of Elune, who has bestowed upon me Rune designed to counter you."
The shadow of the Human Veteran suddenly unfolded, forming a terrifying vortex. At the center of the vortex, mysterious Runes flickered:
"Succeed before the power of the Moon Goddess, for I will devour you."
A powerful devouring force tore at the surrounding mist, and when most of the mist dissipated, a massive body appeared in mid-air.
Countless tentacles swayed, and countless eyes opened, shooting out beams of black light.
The Shadow Vortex was riddled with holes and quickly collapsed. The Human Veteran screamed and transformed back into his Veteran form, weakly kneeling.
"A complete body, abundant soul power—your weakness just now was an act. You're not Y'Shaarj," the Human Veteran said bitterly.
The enormous body was extremely pleased with itself, and it chuckled as it said:
"Even rabbits know to prepare three burrows. After the battle with Aman'Thul ten thousand years ago, I couldn't even find Y'Shaarj's hiding place. Look what I caught? A true Moon Goddess's Servant, completely different from those Servants I subdued later. After Elune was defeated, I thought you had all vanished into thin air."
A true Servant?
Countless ages ago, the Elune was besieged by some of the most powerful beings in the universe, severely weakening her and causing the demise of many of her servants.
Beings like Emissary were all subdued by the Moon Goddess. Unexpectedly, after countless years, a true Servant has appeared in the world.
The Human Veteran said in despair, "I know, you are N'Zoth."
"No, no, this is just one of my clones!"
N'Zoth stretched out countless tentacles, kneading the shadow of the Human Veteran:
"Everyone says the form of the Moon Goddess's Servant is a mystery. I'd like to see what race you are. Perhaps I can glimpse the secrets of the Moon Goddess. Legendary the Moon Goddess rose from humble beginnings. Before becoming a deity, what race was the Moon Goddess? I'm very curious."
Robbie also showed great interest, watching N'Zoth cast the spell without blinking.
The power of the Old Gods entangled the Human Veteran, causing his body to uncontrollably transform into a human, Night Elf, Troll, Murloc, a six-legged crocodile, a creature as large as a dinosaur, and an ichthyosaur with sharp teeth.
N'Zoth praised, "Indeed, the Moon Goddess set up many obstacles to keep the secret, but unfortunately, she encountered me. My curiosity is about to be satisfied."
The bodies of the Human Veterans have changed once again, this time into various Elemental, Void Creatures, and so on. N'Zoth still refuses to give up.
Finally, the Emissary's body stabilized and revealed its original form.
An Orcs with sharp fangs.
