Windrunner-Style Great Purge

Sylvanas felt a bit uneasy. Strictly speaking, she was deceiving a deity right now. She was a ranger, yet she was posing as a mage who believed in the God of Magic. If the deity was displeased by this, she would be in serious trouble.

She could feel the residual magic in her heart carrying her prayer to a very distant place. The surrounding air seemed to begin vibrating, and the pervasive magic grew thicker. The deity had received her prayer; now, she just needed to wait. If the deity willed it, a miracle would naturally descend.

A gust of Arcane wind suddenly appeared in mid-air, mixed with the power of the void and the green energy of Fel. The surrounding trees began to change. The dense Arcane energy transformed the towering trees from within, turning them into crystalline trees that emitted a faint glow.

At this moment, all the energy suddenly contracted and rapidly converged into a small point in the sky. Then, as if exploding, it formed a Divine Eye.

The Divine Eye gradually gained a semblance of consciousness and then focused its gaze on the somewhat nervous Sylvanas.

"Sylvanas, beloved of my Emissary, sister of Alleria." Hu Feng shamelessly took advantage of the situation. No one would dare to argue with a deity, anyway...

"Do you understand that your actions are considered blasphemy?" the Divine Eye's tone was flat, but it carried a hint of interrogation.

Sylvanas took a deep breath. "Please forgive me, great God of Magic. As a ranger, I could never summon you without external help."

The Divine Eye flashed suddenly, and a ripple-like wave of power spread out. A dozen mages, clad in magnificent robes, appeared and landed awkwardly on the ground, clutching their chests. Sylvanas immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Among them was the Sun King, Anasterian!

"Pathetic rats, trying to hide your tracks before a deity? Wait there obediently; I'll deal with you soon." The Divine Eye let out a cold snort. Tendril-like Arcane energies instantly appeared, binding the hands and feet of the dozen mages from the Silvermoon Council and the Sun King, Anasterian, preventing them from moving.

Sylvanas keenly perceived the difference in the deity's attitude towards the two parties and immediately understood the situation. Her mind raced. She took a step forward and knelt on one knee. "Deity, please help us Windrunners! The Windrunners are in grave danger. Those members of the Silvermoon Council are doing everything they can to deal with us. If not for your 'Divine Punishment of Lost Minds,' they would have already acted by now."

As soon as Sylvanas finished speaking, the Silvermoon Council members, bound in place, glared with fury. They wanted to cry out in argument, but their mouths seemed sealed with cement, and they couldn't open them no matter how hard they tried.

"Oh? Your grave danger, what does that have to do with me? Divine punishment is only for punishing the faithless and the unfaithful. Must I, for your petty Windrunners, descend with divine punishment?" The Divine Eye's gaze was devoid of emotion as it stared at Sylvanas. The Sun King and the Silvermoon Council members' eyes immediately lit up with ecstasy.

"Reporting to the divine being, the petty Windrunners are certainly not worth you specially descending divine punishment. However, you may not know that your most beloved Emissary, Hu Feng, his beloved Alleria, who is my sister, is in a very precarious situation. The Silvermoon Council members and the nobles behind them are determined to sideline my sister, even forcing her into marriage!"

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at the Divine Eye's reaction. Seeing a hint of anger appear on its face, Sylvanas rejoiced and immediately continued, "At first, we could withstand the pressure, but we are just weak women; we cannot resist like this forever. Surely the great divine being would not want to see the beloved of their own Emissary snatched away by these incompetent nobles!"

Hu Feng couldn't help but inwardly complain. Weak women? You've killed eight hundred, if not a thousand, trolls! When did weak women become so ferocious... But despite his thoughts, he had to maintain his facade.

The Divine Eye cast down a dozen beams of light, enveloping everyone present. After a while, they slowly dissipated.

"It seems there are indeed rats who dare to covet what does not belong to them."

The Divine Eye coldly looked at the restrained individuals. Suddenly, a council member screamed. His restriction was lifted, but he was now kneeling on the ground, clutching his neck tightly. His eyeballs bulged in pain. Green flames erupted from his eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears. His eyeballs were instantly vaporized, and his vocal cords were burned away. A handsome High Elf uncle turned into a black, charred husk kneeling on the ground, clutching his neck, right before everyone's eyes.

"Such recklessness, such arrogance and presumption, must be punished." The deity's voice suddenly echoed throughout Eversong Woods.

"Sylvanas, I now command you to lead your people and bring all those who have disrespected this deity here. I give you only one hour."

Her heart filled with ecstasy and satisfaction. "Divine being, if there is any resistance or denial..."

"Then let them die immediately." The Divine Eye gave Sylvanas a meaningful look.

Queen Sylva keenly understood the deity's hidden meaning: indeed, the blasphemers and nobles who intended to seize the Windrunner family and its women were one thing, but now she had a temporary privilege. Anyone she wanted to arrest, she could. Those who had always opposed the Windrunners could also be considered guilty! Queen Sylva was nothing like her sister; she felt no pity for her own kin when dealing with political rivals and those who tripped her up.

"Ha, truly a powerful and wise deity, just to my liking!" Sylvanas, along with her rangers, ran swiftly. The whole of Quel'Thalas was plunged into a state of panic and chaos.

A graceful figure suddenly blocked Sylvanas's path, standing there quietly.

"You all continue your mission. I want the targets brought here within half an hour." Queen Sylva waved her hand, and the rangers immediately pressed forward. Alleria wanted to stop them, but the rangers seemed collectively blind and deaf, quickly disappearing into the forest.

"Sister, are you really going to arrest so many people? I won't say anything about the blasphemers and those... nobles who have designs on us. But you're now planning to arrest people who simply disagreed with our political views? Those are our compatriots; they haven't done anything threatening or wrong!"

Sylvanas gave her sister a charming smile. "That's right, and it's also condoned and encouraged by the deity. I don't know why the esteemed God of Magic is helping me like this, but you can't stop me now, sister. Divine power surges within me. Now, move aside."

Alleria bit her lip, her face filled with sadness. "You will regret this, sister. If this is also the will of the gods, then... the gods can also be wrong."

Sylvanas shrugged, lightly leaped onto a tree, and then turned to her sister. "Perhaps... but perhaps great deities favor mortals with a little ambition, which is why they favor me, isn't it?"

With that, she vanished into the forest as a green afterimage.
