Robbie, of course, wouldn't reveal his secret. After repairing her body, Experiment 003 disappeared again, probably using a skill like Shadowstep to move forward a distance, but unfortunately, she still couldn't escape the entanglement of the black particles.
The Holy Light's Hammer slammed down once more, locking onto the location of Experiment 003. This time, it wasn't just Vanessa's attack; Yrel's Hoof of Justice and the shadows and Flames of the Eredar Twins all came crashing down together.
You lied to me.
Although she absorbed a massive amount of Shadow Energy, Experiment 003 had only just recovered and had not yet had time to digest the enormous Shadow power, thus failing to convert it into her own strength.
"No, no, you can't do this to me! I have an important mission." Once Experiment 003 suffers some degree of injury, it becomes difficult for her to maintain her stealth. This time, her body was partially shattered.
"Mission?" Robbie stopped what he was doing, wanting to see how Experiment 003 would identify it.
Experiment 003 finally caught her breath and hurriedly began repairing her body. Being a typical energy being, she could directly convert Shadow Energy. She said with a wronged expression, "Tirion Fordring told me that I will assist Prince Anduin, becoming his right-hand man, the source of his power. The future of humanity depends on me."
Murdering Vanessa and then sending Experiment 003 to Prince Anduin — Tirion Fordring was truly cunning.
If this plan succeeds, once King Varian passes away and Anduin succeeds him as King and becomes the new leader of the Alliance, Tirion Fordring's power will reach its zenith.
Prince Anduin was inherently cowardly and lacked assertiveness. After all, he was too young and inexperienced, making him incredibly easy to control. Coupled with the constant surveillance of the Shadow Naaru, the Prince became a helpless puppet. From then on, Tirion Fordring became the undisputed ruler of the Alliance, a supreme and absolutist figure.
Tirion Fordring controls Prince Anduin, Medivh controls Tirion Fordring —what a cunning scheme, what a calculated plan!
"You don't have that chance now," Robbie said coldly.
I surrender.
Experiment 003 was quite decisive, shrilly. "I don't want to perish again. I've had enough of being a disgusting Ooze. I need to breathe fresh air, I need sunshine and flowers."
Whether or not to accept the surrender of Experiment 003, Robbie decided to listen to Vanessa's opinion.
"Our Brotherhood accept Goblin and Ogre, so why can't we take in a Shadow Naaru? However, we need to observe you for a while. If we're sure you have no ulterior motives, we can set you free." Vanessa didn't appear; her voice drifted from all directions.
"Eredar Twins, is there any way to imprison a Shadow Naaru?" Vanessa asked.
"Of course there's a way, but that's outside the deal. We won't help for nothing." Queen Sacrolash glanced at Robbie, recalling Robbie terrifying Deity power and his ability to find hidden Shadow Naaru —something beyond her comprehension. A chill ran through her, and she quickly changed her words:
"This is free. I hope the Eredar Twins and the Defias Brotherhood always be friends."
The word "free" is not easily uttered by Demons. The Eredar Twins wove a chain of Order, encircling Experiment 003, preventing her from entering stealth mode. Experiment 003 knew she couldn't escape and had no choice but to resign herself to her fate.
Having dealt with Experiment 003, the Eredar Twins resumed their efforts to heal Naaru K'ara, with Robbie and Yrel also contributing, using Holy Light to activate K'ara's radiance.
Naaru K'ara floated above the Lightfall Altar. She was not yet bright enough and needed some time to recover her power. Her consciousness, suppressed for hundreds of years, was finally liberated. K'ara sincerely expressed her gratitude to Vanessa and Robbie.
"Humans, thank you very much for your help. You have gained the friendship of a Naaru. I will provide you with some assistance within my capacity, and I believe I will not let you down."
"Hey, you wretched Naaru!" Queen Sacrolash protested. "Don't forget who healed you. Without us sisters, you would have become a slave to those filthy Orcs, or died."
"The Eredar Twins?" K'ara has fought the Burning Legion for countless years, and the two sides know each other very well. "As a member of the Army of the Light, I cannot express my gratitude to the Demons, but in return, I can answer some of your questions, only to the extent I know the answers."
"Alright, you know what we're going to ask," Queen Sacrolash stated her most pressing question:
"Why does the Army of the Light oppose the Burning Legion? What has been the purpose of this conflict that has lasted for tens of thousands of years? Don't tell me it's for some kind of light and Justice; those are just lies to deceive mortals, and we don't buy into that. Also, why was Illidan, who opposed the Burning Legion, destroyed by you in the name of Justice?"
After a long silence, Naaru K'ara finally replied, "I guess you already have the answer in your hearts, just not sure yet. Yes, we do this for the balance of Light and Darkness."
"Damn balance."
The Eredar Twins were very dissatisfied with the answer, and both sisters showed expressions of disgust.
Naaru K'ara ignored them and spoke eloquently, "Where there is light in the universe, there is shadow; where there is Justice, there is Evil. Our Army of the Light aims to maintain the balance of the universe. Illidan disrupted this balance, and we must destroy him. Perhaps in the near future, when the energy is out of balance again, we may have to resurrect him. This is the truth."
Upon hearing Narukara's explanation, the high-ranking warlock Auress revealed a mocking expression and scoffed:
"Alright, K'ara, your answer is as expected. You're just a nobody in the Army of the Light, unaware of the truth. I thought your knowledge was shared, but we overestimated you. I doubt you could offer a better answer."
Queen Sacrolash deliberately complained from the side, "We should have healed M'uru instead; perhaps that Naaru knows something."
The Eredar Twins returned to the Demons Realm with disappointment in their eyes.
Naaru K'ara and Yrel left, heading to the Karabor Temple to restore K'ara's power.
Robbie, holding the Chains of Order and carrying Experiment 003, rushed back to the fortress. To avoid being seen, Vanessa used the Shadow Veil, and the two of them and the Naaru carefully avoided pedestrians.
Stormshield, inside Prince Anduin's underground palace.
Snap!
The exquisite crystal glass shattered into pieces.
"Useless trash, useless trash, a bunch of worthless rubbish."
Prince Anduin his radiant form, unleashed Thunder, while Udir, the Worgen, stood among the crowd, his heart filled with unease.
Becoming Prince's advisor is no easy feat. Compared to just a few months ago, many new faces have appeared in the secret chamber listening to the Prince's instructions, and many of them will never be seen again.
Among the group was a stranger, a short man who curiously surveyed the opulent furnishings around him. He was drawn to the exquisite wine glasses, the famous paintings on the walls, and the luxurious furs on the sofa, seemingly unconcerned about the Prince's anger.
This man was ugly, behaved absurdly, and dressed in a manner that lacked taste. Among a group of elegant and refined nobles, he was like a bug mixed in with the grass.
Udir secretly breathed a sigh of relief; today's sacrifice had been found. He quickly exchanged a glance with General Shanmiusen beside him, and the two soon reached an agreement.
"That damned liar, Tirion Fordring, where is my Dark Star? What happened to the Shadow Naaru he promised me?"
Prince Anduin's curses grew louder and louder.
