The mutual opposition of Six Forces allows Force Walkers who walk on different paths to always have external help when fighting. Battles involving the morality of the Force are often cruel and anxious, just like the fight between Giant of Light and C'Thun in Holy Light's assistance just now. The confrontation between the two forces makes the entire Silithus Desert restless.

But in addition, not everyone who walks on the path of the Force loves each other, and there are also struggles between them.

Doctrines, ideas, camps, and even personal grievances will put practitioners of the same force in a desperate situation of drawing swords and fighting. In this case, the force forces cannot produce opposing blessings regardless of each other.

Especially under the two force systems of life and void, which have a cold tradition of "survival of the fittest", this kind of "infighting" has even evolved into a complete set of rules.

Azeroth and Old God knew when they fell into the world that only one of them could enjoy the glory of devouring the world.

This means that even without the intervention of an external force like Titan, after the void corrosion reaches a certain level, a desperate war will occur between the four Old Gods. After devouring each other, only the most powerful one will be left to complete the final glorious corrosion with his own hands. Even the reason why the four Old Gods survived is because they joined forces to devour their fifth compatriot when they fell into the world.

Since the ancient times when Dark Empire was established, C'Thun has been preparing for this moment.

It would not give up its ambition to devour the world, nor would it allow its vicious and cunning brothers to enjoy such glory, but it never expected that all the preparations it had made for a desperate battle would not be used in "cannibalism", but instead used in a battle with an "alien".

In Holy Light's one-minute burst, after Giant of Light brutally tore open the dark carapace with Enemybreaker Swordsmanship, Thousand-Eyed Demon knew that the little kid in front of him was definitely not the kind of monster whose combat effectiveness could be measured by his life level.

Even if he risked everything, survived the most brutal attack from Holy Light with double consumption, and exhausted all the holy power stored in the lunatic in front of him, forcing him to completely cut off his connection with Holy Light, C'Thun still did not let down his guard.

Especially when Diakum entered Voidform holding Twilight Hammer, C'Thun also realized that this guy was "prepared".

Diakum's attainments in the Way of the Void are not enough for him to swallow the power of C'Thun in Lightless Ritual, but the Twilight Hammer in his hand has the ability of "Homologous Devouring"!

This means that once Thousand-Eyed Demon is too weak, the ambitious Void Gods hammer can turn itself into "food".

Therefore, Diakum tore open the void rift, summoned Faceless Ones and K'xir and rushed into C'Thun's Black Blood Pool, in the second form, Entropic Energy was wrapped in coldness, and Thousand-Eyed Demon, who was just like Void Abomination, immediately launched a powerful bombardment.

The giant claw tentacles wrapped in dim starlight whizzed down, destroying several void cracks torn by Diakum in a sweeping sweep, and then smashed down the second tentacle, smashing the Faceless One Brute that rushed to bite into a pulp.

Those K'thir Warlock fired Twilight arrows from a distance, but the power of the lower void could not even break through the defense. Even the Entropic Energy shield that penetrated Old God had difficulty touching its body. On a battlefield of this level, the power of these lower summons was too poor.

They are not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

When the third giant claw tentacle gathered the vibrating and roaring Entropic Energy and smashed it down at Diakum who kept throwing Fallen Edict to disintegrate C'Thun's flesh and blood, Dark Archon waved his hand and threw Kazzak's Soul Staff out.

Like a javelin flying, sharp objects shot out mixed with shadows, and plunged into the tentacles of the giant claw with a pop, causing black blood to splash. However, Diakum himself avoided the crushing blow in Intangible Dispersion.

"Ouch! Face Doom Lord!"

Kazzak Remnant Soul in Soul Resonator Staff had previously received a promise from Diakum, and it would explode all the power it had "devoured" during the battle with Vigilant, allowing itself to manifest as a semi-solidified spirit.

Greater Demon Remnant Soul jumped out and slashed his claws into C'Thun's Entropic Energy giant claws. Black blood spattered everywhere and he spit out hot Spirit Fire to burn the abominable tentacles.

It can barely be considered a lord-level summon, and it will not be defeated by C'Thun in one move, and it has a certain attack power that forces C'Thun to score a giant claw tentacle to deal with it, but such little interference cannot give Diakum enough advantage.

After a battle, C'Thun also found out the details of Dark Archon.

Oh, although it is said to be able to walk in light and shadow, it is obvious that the blessings Diakum received in the void are not as good as the favor he received from Holy Light. This Dark Archon's Voidform is very bluffing and has decent destructive power, but it is not enough in front of a conceptual creature like Old God.

"Your heart is going to explode!"

Thousand-Eyed Demon created the illusion of death, which was reflected in Diakum's eyes, trying to detonate his fear of being a loser.

But the mind is cocooned, and fear is useless!

Vigilant was unmoved and turned into a black shadow and flashed over. He raised Twilight Hammer and hit C'Thun's tentacle eye stalk with a hammer. The moment the two came into contact, Twilight Hammer's hammer head shattered with a crack, causing the broken metal to be burned by the shadow the moment it flew out.

It looks like "explosion equipment".

But this "explosion" also means that Twilight Hammer's "Homologous Devouring" has been fully activated!

Once it fails to successfully devour its powerful counterpart C'Thun, the Void Relic cast at Draenor will also fall here together with the noble Dark Archon, turning into dust in the shadow of history.

The hungry evil thing was as crazy as its owner at this time. Facing an enemy that it couldn't deal with at all, it chose to make a desperate move of "overdrawing the future" in order to increase the chance of winning for the noble Dark Archon.

This means that when Diakum entered the final stage of Path of Light and Shadow's trial, in addition to Ashbringer, Twilight Hammer also gave him Consecration the final strength.

The two weapons have different paths, but they are equally loyal.

"Ah!"

C'Thun let out a low and dark roar, and the tentacles hit by the cracking Twilight Hammer seemed to be infected with the "blight disease".

The flesh and blood poured into the void quickly shriveled up, and their power was being lost, broken, and even out of control. Only a small part was "swallowed" by the greedy and crazy hammer, and the rest were transferred to Diakum.

Those scattered "dark stars" were absorbed by Dark Archon, converging into the most gloomy Mind Spike, which transformed into a halberd and pierced Old God's abyss-like fallen mind, successfully leaving a scar of fear in it that would never heal.

But before Dark Archon could be satisfied with this wonderful blow, he saw a python-like shadow tentacle tearing apart Black Blood Pool and roaring out.

The spikes at the top burst out, causing the huge yellow-brown eyeballs to float in front of Diakum's eyes. The moment they met his eyes, the spiritual power that tore apart the world burst out and fixed him in place.

The surrounding darkness Entropic Energy is continuously extracted and gathered, making the horny cracks of this tentacle dotted with purple ominous light spots, like burst blood vessels emitting purple light, like a "void electromagnetic gun" that is accumulating energy.

"I see your vulnerability. That's it!"

In the whimper of Thousand-Eyed Demon, which was like a "killing speech", Twilight Eye Beam spurted out, hitting Dark Archon's body, breaking all the darkness Dispersion he activated.

It was like a meteor wrapped in black smoke roaring and hitting the broken stone pillars of the temple, shattering the stone pillars used by Titan to restrain Old God, revealing the empty conduit inside. The Titan energy of the power of order should be flowing here, but now there is nothing.

The rubble collapsed and Diakum was buried in it, but it only injured him but was not enough to kill him.

Voidform can be exempted from most physical damage. That Twilight Eye Beam is indeed powerful, but more of it acts on Diakum's spirit, like a lock, locking his mental upper limit in a precarious position.

In Dark Archon's form, spirit is Diakum's spellcasting resource.

Thousand-Eyed Demon was keenly aware of the weakness of Diakum, and took the most correct response.

If Dick continues to maintain this kind of high-intensity fighting, once his mental power collapses, he will immediately enter the void transformation of "Stark Raving Mad".

C'Thun You don't even need to kill this troublesome and desperate bug with your own hands

It only needs to delay for time to see an extremely powerful beast of the void being born in front of its own eyes. If it sacrifices it to Sea of Darkness, it will definitely receive the supreme praise from Void Lord.

Ha, I thought it was a bad visitor, but I didn't expect it was a "self-service visitor".

"You need help."

The weak voice of Star Soul sounded as Diakum stood up holding his chest, and Argus whispered:

"Let me help you."

"You can no longer endure a fierce battle like last time."

Dick wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the shadow Entropic Energy that had transformed into "Twilight" in his hand and said hoarsely:

"Stark Raving Mad also has a process. The closer I am to complete madness, the stronger my destructive power is! I can defeat it."

"But what's the cost?"

Argus scolded:

"I am just a node of Star Soul's will. If it is broken, it can be rebuilt from other clans! But if you kill this Old God at the cost of "madness", Draenei Clan will lose their Vigilant forever.

I will lose a good boy forever too

For example, Neri, Velen and Hutton cannot watch you selflessly burn yourself for them. As your Lord, I cannot watch my best child embrace the fall for a hopeless ghost like me.

Diakum, protection is mutual!

When you protect me, I will protect you.

It was you who burned for me before.

Now, let your distant hometown burn for you once too!

I will leave the last trace of my will. As long as I can see my sister Azeroth, she can heal me.

Now, raise your head and punish the dark fool in front of you!

Tell it who you are."

"Boom"

Argus Star Soul, which began to burn on its own, was like a ignited fire, causing Diakum's power in the form of Dark Archon to be pushed to the point of "complete combustion" in an instant.

The darkness Entropic Energy wandering in this lightless land surrounded him and gathered into a storm of dim light, just like the "dark" version of Sanctified Seraphim, allowing the deep Void Entropy to shape wings of flying dark light feathers outside the black gauze of Dark Archon.

In this scene, let alone C'Thun, even Kazzak Remnant Soul, who was being hammered down by the giant claw tentacles, had his eyes widened.

Doom Lord laughed wildly and hugged the giant claw tentacles that were tearing it apart with its backhand. A second before the final "Burning Explosion" was launched, it roared loudly:

"This is you! Hahaha, this is the person who defeated Sargeras with dignity! Ah, Vigilant, I, a loser, am willing to serve you!"

"Boom"

The terrifying loud noise accompanied by the disintegration of the giant claw tentacles made the entire Shadow Land tremble again.

The severe pain made C'Thun's flesh and blood holy body tremble, but unknown to him it was because of the pure pain. Its nine hundred and ninety-nine eyeballs were staring at the insect that was re-floating under the beating of darkness Light Wings.

It looked at the light spots dotted around him in disbelief.

It knows what it is, it has been dealing with it for countless years.

"You have the power of another Star Soul!"

Thousand-Eyed Demon roared:

"You are another messenger of Star Soul! Ah, I understand why you are desperate to fight me, even risking everything you own.

I understand!

You are not only carrying the ridiculous Path of Light and Shadow and your own morality, you are also carrying the last way to survive in another world, the last way to survive, and the last light of hope!

I'm going to extinguish you!"

It raised the remaining giant claw tentacles one after another, and in the abyss malice bursting out from the nine hundred and ninety-nine eyeballs, C'Thun screamed:

"I will swallow the Star Soul in you! I will become the first legend among Sea of Darkness to swallow two Star Soul!"

Entropic Energy's huge claw tentacles all over the place were like heavy hammers, including all the Titan temples in the destructive and crazy attack. There were also several floating Twilight Eye Beams that were continuously launched in the air. Not only because the Diakum strengthened by Star Soul was very dangerous, but also because C'Thun's ambitions had been stimulated.

It changed its mind.

It does not intend to dedicate Diakum, who is destined to fall, to Sea of Darkness.

It wants to taste that guy's soul soaked in Star Soul, in order to achieve the feat of swallowing both Star Soul.

Argus has not yet chosen his own force to use. He is in the purest Star Soul state, which means that his power can almost perfectly adapt to all force forces. At this time, Star Soul's power is burning, and Diakum's emotions are boiling. Part of the reason is that the mental power is constantly going crazy, and Stark Raving Mad is rapidly superimposing.

The other part is the rising anger.

He could clearly feel that his spirit was on the verge of collapse, and even the world in his eyes was entering a wonderful "spiritual vision". However, he became more determined because of his hometown's sacrifice for him again, like a steel tower standing in the storm. No matter how dark the tide came, I remained unmoved.

Entropic Energy is being absorbed quickly, and the constant dodging and moving are all to accumulate strength for this moment.

Diakum gave up Shadowflame, gave up Fallen Edict, gave up Curse of Flesh, and he wanted to use the method he was most accustomed to to hit C'Thun with his strongest blow as Dark Archon.

That is.

"Twilight That Severs All Things! Break out!!!"

In the deep roar of Shas'ral's depravity, in the scream of Twilight Hammer's huge energy, Star Soul's self-combustion gave Diakum a powerful blow that finally burst out in the lightless land. C'Thun, sensing the danger, retracted all the giant claw tentacles in front of him to resist.

Its strongest dark carapace had been torn apart by Giant of Light's hands before, and now this fallen true form does not have such strong protective power.

A series of dim stars gathered into a hexagonal Entropic Energy shield, layer after layer of blessings in front of Old God's body, and at Diakum's feet, a black shadow became increasingly clear in the black blood.

The nearly solid "Twilight" turned into the magnificent luster that once enveloped the territory of the Dark Empire. It was like a pale blade tearing through the shadows, absorbing all the light in an instant and tearing apart all obstacles in front of it. The Entropic Energy shield and the giant claw tentacles were shattered like white paper at the touch of a touch.

The Twilight Cannon infused with World Power swept across the place, only to be devastated by the explosion of corrupted blood and bones.

Although Old God was well prepared, he was also heartbroken by this blow.

In the low and reverberating code words, when Twilight Cannon Dispersion was waiting, a piercing crack was opened in the front of C'Thun's flesh and blood body. Shockingly, at least one third of the body was "evaporated".

Even though Old God is a creature with the concept of void, and theoretically there is no concept of "death", it was still severely injured by this shot.

But it knows.

It won!

All the eyeballs on the broken body were locked on Diakum at this moment. At the moment when Dispersion gained strength, an unknown dark maw surged out from the black blood, biting into pieces the space around Diakum with a roar, and completely swallowed him into C'Thun's "different-dimensional stomach".

Ah, the hot Dark Archon and the hot Star Soul energy on his body, just waiting for his supreme gastric juice to digest them, the injuries he suffered at this time will be healed as before during his fall and ascension.

It is Old God!

It's Overmind, the most first-class flesh and blood of these stars, with only a fatal injury.

"I won Lightless Ritual The winner has been decided! Me!" Thousand-Eyed Demon"C'Thun, I won!"

The empty dark place echoed with the roar of C'Thun.

But unexpectedly, no one from Sea of Darkness's witnesses or Void Lords who were watching this scene jumped out to declare C'Thun's victory. On the contrary, there were weird whispers echoing in the shadow barrier.

"It's coming, it's coming! My favorite scene is coming!"

"Oh, turn into a brainless beast and devour everything in your path, devouring the weak and cowards!"

"Isn't that why I came here to enjoy this boring battle? Hurry up! I want to see the "unstoppable" river of blood again!!!"

C'Thun even fell into a daze at this moment.

It doesn't understand why the Void Lords are so happy? And what is that "unstoppable" thing?

"Win? No, no, no, your greed has dragged you into a desperate situation, pathetic guy."

Shadow Word's sarcasm echoed around C'Thun's broken body, and it said in a cold tone:

"I hope that after your obituary in Sea of Darkness is published, you can teach other idiots not to eat those dangerous poisonous things in the future. Well, looking at your trembling flesh and blood, you should be aware of the pain coming from your stomach, right?

It's okay, this is normal.

You will be eaten from the inside, leaving only a miserable skin of darkness!

You lost, C'Thun!

Sea of Darkness is very disappointed in you, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, it was originally planned to exchange an incompetent Old God for a "Devourer of Worlds" with unlimited potential, no matter how you look at it.

I've made a lot of money."

"Don't!"

In C'Thun's stomach that can melt all things, when Diakum was about to start the "Ancient Frenzy" explosion that occurs once every thirty days, Argus Star Soul, who was so weak that there was only a trace of residual sound left, tried to dissuade him:

"This is their conspiracy! They have calculated that you must use this move to win, but this means that in your frenzy, you must "swallow" a Old God. You cannot resist that kind of life pollution, Diakum.

You will be forced to fall!"

"I know! Before I stepped here, I simulated countless battles. This is not the way to win the One! If you only pursue quick victory, I will take out Eye of Sargeras when I step here, my lord.

I have other ways to win.

But this is not just a victory or defeat, it is also a choice of path.

How can we embrace the darkness without going into it; how can we light up the light without embracing the darkness?"

Vigilant, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, laughed.

A second before starting Ancient Frenzy, he took out the gift from Lady Kara from Augure's Chest, soaked in the gastric juice of C'Thun and having his armor corroded.

"They were right, but so was I!

I temper myself in the light, and I absorb wisdom in the shadows. I am not as fanatical as before. My cooled mind has learned to make decisions before taking action, and I do not lack the awareness to put Death Ground aside and survive!

Wish me good luck, my lord, my homeland.

Please witness the burning of this noble oath.

I have gone into the darkness to eat a lot of food, just to make my way home with enough food and wine!"

He looked at the three Crown of Light floating in his hand, clasped them in his palm and chose to absorb them. Then the madness from ancient times was activated, like a hungry dark beast smelling the aroma of food.

He opened his mouth wide and determined to feast.

All that's left is: potential! No! Can't! Block!
