Involving Power

Roy's existence had sparked Sargeras's interest in the Frost Demons of the Abyss World, which left Roy rather speechless.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Burning Legion's future research into Frost Demons would inevitably uncover the special properties of their Demon Blood. That would become the origin of the Scourge Plague.

However, the Burning Legion would not achieve any results from exploring the Abyss World anytime soon, and Sargeras could not find a qualified replacement to take over Roy's command of the Legion in such a short time.

The Legion's demons would never obey the commands of a non-demonic creature, so even if Sargeras found a clever individual, he would have to corrupt them with Fel and twist them into a demon before they could be used.

The place where that world-soul lay was called Azeroth. The Pantheon Titans regarded this unborn world-soul as hope, but to the fallen Sargeras, it was hardly good news. Yet the Pantheon Titans had only
