The terrifying green-skinned monster lunged at the four Guardians. Hodir, the Guardian of winter, with the most volatile temper, roared, "Ugly monster, freeze in the cold winds of the Northrend!"
A powerful Frost force spread, freezing the monster inside the ice.
Unexpectedly, the monster possessed immense strength, its countless tentacles writhing. Seeing cracks appear in the ice, Thorim was already prepared, his hammer brimming with powerful Lightning.
The monster suddenly broke free from the Frost's restraints and roared, "I am the great Savior, you all deserve to die!"
"What?"
The voice was incredibly familiar; it was Thrall's voice.
Thorim hesitated for a moment and did not unleash his Lightning power.
As shattered ice flew through the air, the green-skinned monster seized the opportunity to pounce on Thorim, knocking him down onto the rocks of the shore and slamming his fists into Thorim's face.
The sound of Thorim's head shattering filled the air as the monster's power breached the Titan Keepers's defenses. The monster grabbed Thorim's legs, ready to tear him in two.
Seeing the situation was dire, Mimiron's mech flashed red and aimed at the monster's head, preparing to fire a bomb.
"Let's go big!" Mimiron shouted.
But then Freya spread her arms and blocked Mimiron's path. "Wait, he is the Savior, Thrall."
Because of Freya's obstruction, Mimiron's missile could not be launched, and Thorim let out a scream as his right leg was torn off.
The monster swung Thorim's right leg and slammed it down hard on Freya's head.
Freya's head had collapsed halfway, and she swayed as she fell onto the shore.
"Idiots, idiots, do you all want to die?"
Hodir was furious at his two teammates' inexplicable behavior. A huge ice pillar appeared in his hand, flew diagonally, and pierced through the monster's belly. The green-skinned monster bled profusely and let out a piercing scream.
The icicle severely injured the monster, Hodir was overjoyed. He conjured another icicle in his palm, this time aiming it at the monster's head to finish it off. Suddenly, Freya stood up and shrieked, "You can't do this! He is the great Savior Thrall!"
Hodir's icicles were rendered useless, giving the monster time to catch its breath. The monster pulled the icicles out of its stomach and punched Freya through the chest, tossing her aside like a broken rag doll.
The green-skinned monster hissed and roared, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Hodir. Hodir raised the ice pillar in his hand, but a bolt of Lightning struck down and shattered the ice pillar.
With one leg missing, Thorim lowered his right hand, which had been holding the hammer, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. He whispered, "For the great Savior Thrall," before his head lolled to the side and he passed out.
"Thorim! Have you gone mad too?"
Hodir didn't have time to prepare the icicles. The green-skinned monster pounced and bit off Hodir's right arm, tearing his right shoulder off.
No, no!
Hodir let out a scream, and with his remaining left hand, he finally managed to conjure an icicle.
Mimiron piloted his mech behind the monster and fired a missile at its head. For some reason, the icicle in Hodir's left hand flew out and shattered the missile.
"By Titans above, Hodir, have you gone mad too?" Mimiron felt a violent tremor in his body and mind, realizing the danger, and hurriedly piloted his mech into the air.
The green-skinned monster couldn't fly and couldn't hit Mimiron, so it could only take its anger out on Hodir, tearing him to pieces. Hodir's head rolled to the side, lifeless.
"This isn't right!" Mimiron screamed, staring at Murozond in the air. "This is all your trickery, isn't it?"
Murozond shook his head. "They've just been Corruption and willingly become accomplices. You have a mechanical body, so you're more resistant to Corruption, but you won't last long."
"Corruption?"
The three Guardians had all been destroyed by the monster. Mimiron felt his mind and body gradually succumbing to the monster, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship the green-skinned monster.
"The four Titan Keepers of Ulduar are nothing special."
Murozond opened Portal, and a tremendous force pulled the green-skinned monster along. The monster let out a miserable scream of resentment, but it was helpless and could only be pulled into the Portal and disappear.
Mimiron stared at the portal, barely managing to refrain from intervening.
Murozond whispered, "Mimiron, before you fall completely, take the remains of your three companions and leave. Perhaps you can still mend them. Only one person can heal your corruption: Yogg-Saron, the prisoner of Ulduar and Old Gods."
Mimiron's eyes were filled with confusion, and an ominous black aura swirled around his body. Murozond sighed helplessly, "What a pity, it's too late. You've fallen too. Fortunately, not all of Ulduar are hopeless fools."
Is that a compliment you're giving me?
A loud and authoritative voice rang out, and a tall figure appeared, suddenly striking and stunning Mimiron, the Guardian of Ulduar's outer perimeter. Loken slowly landed on the beach.
Looking at the mess on the ground and the Guardians ' broken hands and feet, Loken shook his head and chuckled, "Oh dear, I can't heal these kinds of injuries. It seems I'll have to ask Yogg-Saron for help. How will you treat him after Yogg-Saron heals you? That'll be interesting, won't it?"
Murozond looked cautiously at Loken and advised, "If you're smart, just throw these scum into the depths of Ulduar and don't worry about them living or dying."
Loken shook his head. "That won't do. What I need is balance. Without these four Guardians, Yogg-Saron lacks checks and balances. You don't need to persuade me; my wisdom can foresee what will happen next. Sometimes sacrifices must be made."
Murozond sighed, "It seems you knew your Destiny all along."
Loken gathered the shattered bodies of the three Guardians, raised his head, and asked, "Murozond, he is Thrall, isn't he?"
Murozond nodded and explained:
"Just as the future is endless, so too is the End Time. This is one of them. After all the Old Gods Old Gods have fallen, Thrall absorbed their power, and our world came to an end. All life vanished, leaving only this green-skinned monster walking on the earth."
"What a bleak future." Loken glanced meaningfully in Aegwynn's direction before leaving with the remains of the four Titan Keepers.
"You think you've won?" Guardian Aegwynn's voice rang out like silver bells. "I admit, you do have some skill. Neptulon and Nozdormu were plotted against, and even the Four Guardians of Ulduar failed, but all of this is under my control."
"Next, you will face the most terrifying and unstoppable force. Sink into the sea under Elune's wrath! No one can stop the great Elune."
A Thunder roar resounded.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
Daelin hurriedly raised her binoculars and saw a colossal wave, towering like a wall, crashing towards the horizon where the sky met the sea.
"Is this the curse of the tides?" Daelin asked in surprise. "Could it be that Orcs also have Tidesages?"
Robbie shook his head. "It's either a curse from the tides, or pure Tidal Power."
Robbie really wanted to explain the relationship between tides and the moon's gravity, but it was too late.
The Elune manipulated the moon, creating massive tides that destroyed the Kul Tiras fleet; this was Aegwynn's true trump card.
