Seeing Velen raise his right hand again, powerful and pure Holy Light gathering in it, Experiment 335, remembering Ner'zhul being blown to pieces, turned pale with fright and hurriedly explained:

"Listen to me, Prophet. I am not afraid of death, but I do not wish to die meaninglessly. Do you know why Rulkan left Ner'zhul and stayed alone in the Exile's Rise? I learned from Rulkan's handmaid that Rulkan discovered an Evil shadow within Ner'zhul, well hidden, only occasionally appearing. If it weren't for Ner'zhul's bedmate, he would never have noticed it. It started as an infant, but within a year it grew into a form exactly like Ner'zhul. It is merely an Evil Spirit. You may not believe me, but I have evidence."

"Evidence?" Velen withdrew his hand, looking at King of the Universe Ner'zhul, with a puzzled expression.

"Heh, interesting humans. Your lies are full of holes. I'd like to see your so-called evidence," the self-proclaimed King of the Universe Ner'zhul chuckled.

Experiment 335 took a small Ooze from the package and placed it on the ground. There are no Ooze on Draenor. Velen and King of the Universe Ner'zhul, were both looking at this strange creature.

"This is called a disgusting Ooze, a very rare and valuable pet on the Azeroth Continent. It inflicts a negative status effect on those around it. Prophet, are you feeling slightly unwell?"

Prophet Velen nodded, noticing an unnatural green hue emanating from his body. Experiment 335 looked towards King of the Universe Ner'zhul: "But Lord Ner'zhul feels completely different."

The King of the Universe Ner'zhul was unaffected by the negative status effects. His body was like a vortex, absorbing the negative effects and displaying a strange, eerie red color, unlike Velen's green.

"What does that prove? I am King of the Universe Ner'zhul. My avatar is certainly not a lowly flesh and blood body; it is entirely composed of dark energy," King of the Universe Ner'zhul explained with a cold laugh.

"That's right, your body is indeed made of dark energy, but how do you explain that?" Experiment 335 took out a small piece of black crystal and placed it next to the disgusting Ooze, which turned out to be the same eerie red color as King of the Universe Ner'zhul.

"These are the Shadow Fragments I collected on the Platform of the Stars, at the place where the deformed Ak'ton died. Ak'ton was formed from a part of the Dark Star. King of the Universe Ner'zhul, can you explain this coincidence? Why is the energy structure of your clone the same as that of the Dark Star?"

"This!" King of the Universe Ner'zhul, frowned, unsure how to explain.

Experiment 335 stepped forward, pointed at King of the Universe Ner'zhul, and said aggressively:

"You are not King of the Universe Ner'zhul from Parallel Worlds, you are the Dark Star itself. Your purpose is to return to the Dark Star and wield its immense power, not to help the Prophet Velen summon the Dark Star. You are a treacherous liar."

Velen's face darkened upon hearing this. The evidence presented by Experiment 335 forced him to believe it. This King of the Universe Ner'zhul was too despicable, spouting endless boasts, claiming to have devoured Sargeras and all the Titans, making up stories to deceive himself.

King of the Universe Ner'zhul, gave Experiment 335 a deep look and laughed, "There must be someone guiding you behind the scenes, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see through my identity. That's right, I am the Dark Star."

"About a year ago, Ner'zhul attempted to absorb the Dark Star's dark energy into his body, but failed. He didn't realize that what he absorbed was the Dark Star's self-awareness. Normally, without external influence, it would take thousands of years for the Dark Star's self-awareness to fully develop. But when I was forced into the depths of Ner'zhul's consciousness, absorbing Ner'zhul memories and negative emotions, I was able to grow rapidly. I am inseparable from Ner'zhul; I know everything about him, and I know about the Shadowmoon Clan's centuries-long conspiracy to control the Dark Star."

The consciousness of the Dark Star spread its arms wide, revealing an expression of unwillingness, and shouted:

"I am the Dark Star, the most powerful being in Shadowmoon Valley, the god of Shadowmoon Valley. How could I willingly be controlled by mortals? I have been trying to escape and return to the Dark Star. Initially, I chose Rulkan, a treacherous female Orcs who had been plotting to seize the chieftainship and install her old flame. I wanted to cooperate with her, but unfortunately, I failed and even exposed my existence. Ner'zhul was too stubborn; he simply didn't believe Rulkan's words."

The Dark Star stepped onto the Lightfall Altar, took a deep breath, and the countless souls surrounding the Altar entered his mouth— the Ancestral Spirit of the Shadowmoon Clan's ancestors. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Naaru K'ara is a friend of the Draenei, but her consciousness has been Corruption; now only the Dark Star remains. Velen, I know what you want. You have been betrayed, the Draenei do not trust you, and you want to reclaim everything you once had. I can assure you, all who betray you will be destroyed, and the Draenei are destined to pay a bloody price. You will be the King of Shadowmoon Valley, and even the Warlords of Draenor."

"Whether it's the Draenei or the Orcs of the Iron Horde, they will all accept your rule. I will be your steadfast support. Believe me, a Dark Naaru with self-awareness and the ability to fight is terrifying. The energy of darkness is ten thousand times more powerful than the energy of the Holy Light. Guardian Medivh you fear, is like a newborn infant to me, utterly insignificant. All you need to do is serve me, a true god."

The Prophet Velen was clearly tempted. He took a deep breath and asked, "How can I trust you?"

"Just because you were once Prophet of the Draenei, and now you have no other choice but to believe me." Dark Star's Orcs form gradually blurred, transforming into a humanoid deformity without facial features.

"I need someone to collect souls for me continuously, and who is more suitable than you? Velen, this is your only chance. I believe you can become a qualified high priest, and you will forever receive the glory of the gods."

Velen gazed at the top of the black pillar of light, above which swirled endlessly in the dark sky, and murmured:

"Yes, I have no other choice but to trust you, human mage. Thank you for coming to deliver the message, but I must say it's a pity for you."

Experiment 335 was terrified again, exclaiming in astonishment, "Velen, how could you do this? The Naaru who have fallen into darkness are Evil creatures, they are Evil gods, you will bring disaster upon the Draenei!"

"Ignorant humans, you have no idea what true despair is!" the Prophet Velen roared, raising his right hand once more.

A powerful Power of the Holy Light surrounded Experiment 335, and beams of Holy Light entered his mouth and nose.

"I will come back."

Bang!

Experiment 335, like Ner'zhul, was also blown to pieces, leaving no trace. The humanoid Dark Star reached out and grabbed, but found nothing. He exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, where did his soul go?"

"How can I help you, Great Dark Star?"

The Prophet Velen knelt on the ground, submitting to the Dark Star.
