In the deathly silent Titan cage.

The mutilated remains of C'Thun fell into his own Black Blood Pool in a lifeless manner.

Its final death was like an execution without any surprise. At this time, it was like a rotten onion that had been drained of all its juice. It was in tatters and without dignity. Even if it was thrown on the street, no one would take a look.

Most of the eyeballs on those shriveled flesh and blood have crystallized, and only the eyeballs in the core are still turning with difficulty, but that does not mean that Life Force remains, it is just that the over-activated flesh and blood of the ancient god is still trying to awaken it after the death of the main body.

But there is no longer a Light-Dark Aggregate that can answer this lonely call.

C'Thun is dead.

Thousand-Eyed Demon's hundreds of thousands of years of corrosion are over. It failed to make it to the finals and fell into the hands of an unexpected asshole, returning to Sea of Darkness in an extremely miserable manner.

Everything was left on the loser's plate. Even if Sea of Darkness is reborn again in the waves, the new Light-Dark Aggregate will no longer be called "C'Thun", not to mention how long it will take.

It's a pity that Diakum's life level is still a little low.

If he comes to challenge as a demigod, then Thousand-Eyed Demon won't be able to escape even the last bit of his chaotic roots, and will become nothing more than food for Dark Archon to swallow.

But it's not bad now.

A huge Dark Cocoon stands among the corpse of C'Thun, and countless black "roots" spread from Thousand-Eyed Demon's body, extracting nutrients to supply this new "beast of the void".

He enjoyed a delicious feast, but he did not eat alone.

Twilight Hammer, which had been completely broken, was now stuck in Black Blood Pool of C'Thun, feasting greedily, and even let out an echoing whimper like a sea beast swallowing water.

It is so loyal to its master that it is naturally qualified enough to share in its master's victory.

Even if the original body has been completely broken, Twilight Hammer has gained far more than it has lost. After the "new body" molded with an entire pure source of black blood is solidified, it will definitely reappear in a stronger posture.

And Twilight Hammer can be sure that this gluttonous feast is just the beginning!

Its extremely powerful master will surely take it with him to visit the three remaining Old God in the world who are now scared to death, as well as the remains of the most powerful man who has long since fallen.

Sooner or later, I will be able to grow into a more Invincible posture in the full belly of this "big banquet".

Ha, what does it mean that choice is more important than hard work?

If I were still following that little bastard Cho'gall, how could I have the glory I have now and the glory I am destined to have in the future? The principle of the void has always been like this, either you have nothing, or you win everything.

You bet right!

You can naturally enjoy everything in front of you without any guilt!

Come and feast, for the sake of the suffering years that are over, and for the dim future that is destined to be glorious.

"Bang"

A muffled sound emerged in the dead silence, causing Twilight Hammer, who was immersed in Black Blood Pool to drink, to jump a little.

It had a premonition of something, and suddenly accelerated the speed of absorbing black blood, causing the horizontal line of Black Blood Pool to slide down in a manner visible to the naked eye.

This muffled sound also alarmed the bystanders who were whispering around. Especially when they anticipated that the tide of Sea of Darkness was blowing suddenly, Shadow Word was the first to scream:

"Look! Lightless Ritual is about to end! The real winner is about to appear!"

"Shut up."

Another voice sarcastically said:

"C'Thun has stepped on the horse and been sucked dry. How can the waste still pretend to be dead? The winner has already appeared, Diakum Zastinss. The question for the One is, in what manner should he enjoy the glory of the winner?

Is it the brilliance of Holy Light?

Or are we waiting for the boundless mystery of the void?"

As the bystanders watched with anticipation and nervousness in this lightless place, the huge Dark Cocoon made vibrating sounds more and more frequently, like an awakened heart that began to become familiar with the beating frequency again after a long period of stagnation.

Spider-web-like cracks also appeared on the surface of Dark Cocoon woven from the remains of C'Thun, and a force escaped from it, causing Twilight Hammer next to it to be the first to shout weapons.

It sensed the windy darkness.

Ashbringer, which was inserted into the ground not far away and showed a broken posture, fell like a loser into the melting metal. It seemed to feel the coldness contained in Dark Cocoon, which indicated an unknown ending.

"Click"

With the sound of breaking eggshells, Dark Cocoon did not shatter but instantly pulled away the power of support, falling down like black satin, completely displaying what was contained in it in front of the onlookers.

"Wow!"

The voice of surprise cheered from an invisible place:

"What a beautiful Void Entropy Demon, the larvae of the Void Gods spirit that walks on the path of shadow! I know that we, the Void, are invincible, and that we, the Void, have no plan left!"

Other onlookers also cheered, and even Shadow Word let out a sigh of relief.

All because what appeared in front of them was a real "Entropius", which was the scientific name for Naaru who had completely fallen into the void, which meant that Naaru was completely unable to return to the light through the conversion of light and darkness.

The general Entropius is a slender and weird body of dark energy, which looks similar to the "big blue fat" like Voidwalkers, but the Entropiuss are much more awesome.

They usually have Light Wings transformed from the fallen stars reflected by Void Entropy. Those Entropic Energy will form fallen holy patterns surrounding Entropius. There is also a gorgeous "Crown of Shadows" on their heads, which is like a crown cast from the void to show the rarity and power of Entropius.

Even in Sea of Darkness, which is full of strange creatures, Entropius is a very powerful upper-level Void Gods talk life.

But that was the form after Naaru's "blackening". Diakum finally completed Naaru's racial transformation with the help of Lady Kara's "Crown of Light" Change, but he is not the crystal form of ordinary Naaru, but a real "humanoid Naaru", so the Entropius he transformed into is also very different from the appearance of ordinary Entropius.

That Dark Entity still maintains a vague human form.

It doesn't look much different from Voidform of Dark Archon. It's still the posture of Diakum covered with black gauze. But if you look closely, you can find that the layer of black gauze of Voidform has completely changed. War Armor turned into a set of shadow-cast voids, completely wrapping him in the protection of darkness. The surrounding shadows actively surrounded the powerful Devourer of Worlds and turned into a windbreaker-like cloak, embellishing him with a hint of low-key publicity in the shadow authority.

Outside the thick shoulder armor is Fallen Star Light Wings gathered by Entropic Energy, which looks like a black butterfly's Light Wings. There is also a void luster like eyes flowing, and there are two "Eyes of the Void" composed of pure darkness suspended on the shoulders on both sides.

Because it has swallowed up the power of C'Thun, Eyes of the Void of Diakum is very much like Eye of C'Thun wrapped in Twilight.

There is even a clear pupil structure.

In addition, there is the classic "Crown of Shadows" on the top of his full-covered dark battle helmet. Three void crystals surround the battle helmet. Together with the complex graphics of Eredar Leader's Mark and Dark Archon's Mark on Diakum's forehead, they form a less standardized "ten" shape.

As he breathed, Entropic Energy Light Wings loomed behind him.

If Light Wings of Sanctified Seraphim is a divine streamer composed of lines, then the wings of Entropic Energy at this time are like extremely dark butterfly wings. Together with the dim light of Fallen Star, it has a gloomy and elegant posture.

Overall, it looks good.

"What are you looking at? Is that Entropius?"

The majestic voice from before spoke again and said sarcastically:

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look! That is clearly a "Devourer of Worlds" larvae! It is the "Embryo of God" born again from Sea of Darkness after the powerful and ruthless Dymus. As long as he does not die, he will reach the level of you and me sooner or later!

That is a level that ordinary Entropius can hardly achieve anyway.

Although he is far from as powerful as Mr. Dymus, I believe that given enough time, he will definitely become the second "Lord Devourer".

Unfortunately, there can only be one Lesser God at the end of this "Devourer of Light Path".

This means that he will definitely challenge Devourer of Worlds in the future. This is not even something he or Dymus can decide. This is also the law of the void. There can only be one Lesser God at the end of a road.

Hiss. Even if I have full confidence in Diakum, it is hard to imagine that he can achieve such a great achievement."

"Yeah, yeah."

Next to him, Void Lord echoed:

"After all, Your Excellency Dymus is the One, a Void Lord who can freely travel through the material universe despite the damn Dark Titan blockade. Although he is somewhat tainted with the light of racial talent, the fact that he has not been hacked to death by Sargeras across the planet sea for so long already shows how powerful that guy is."

"But no matter what, we won this battle!"

Shadow Word screamed in ecstasy:

"Lightless Ritual is over, we personally shaped him! We personally lured him into the shadows! As his dark sages, we paved the way for him, so naturally it is up to us to awaken him!

Ah, his glory will also be our glory.

The day he becomes Lesser God, we will also gain the power of Sea of Darkness."

"Humph, it's just bad luck."

The other Void Lord obviously look down upon Shadow Word, which proves that Shadow Word is much lower than them.

But no one stopped Shadow Word's actions, all because being low in rank also has advantages. A void life like it entering Material World would not attract the attention of Dark Titan.

If Void Lord tried to do this, well, it is estimated that "Starburst Abandonment Slash" coming from the sky would fall on top of it in the next second, and most of Azeroth would be annihilated along with it.

Under their gaze, Shadow Word transformed into a Dark Wind and approached "Devourer of Worlds" Diakum Zastinss. However, as Shadow Word prepared to wake up, those Void Lords suddenly became restless.

"No! Don't touch him!"

The majestic voice scolded:

"There's a problem! His Force is going fast."

It's too late!

Shadow Word had touched Diakum's cheek. The moment the wind blew, it saw Diakum's open eyes full of golden light and a hint of sarcasm in them.

"You're the one who dug the hole for me, right?"

He said something.

The sound trembled in light and shadow at the same time. In the scream of Shadow Word, a dazzling stream of light suddenly erupted at this moment. It was like a flash bomb was thrown into the lightless land, dispersing all the shadows in an instant.

Even Twilight Hammer screamed.

It feels melted.

And the dozens of fragments of the miserable Ashbringer stuck on the ground buzzed with excitement, its brilliant sword-wielder was back!

The movement at this moment was particularly loud.

Because what erupts from Diakum is not only Holy Light, but also the ethereal and wonderful song that spreads regardless of space, which is very much like the soft sound made by a Naaru when he rotates his body. Although Diakum cannot rotate himself, as a humanoid Naaru who has "successfully overcome the tribulation", he does have his own exclusive "BGM".

Those lights no longer need to be called, nor do they seem to burst out from the realm of Primal Light. There is only one light source here, and that is Diakum!

These lights come from him!

Although it is still Holy Light, it obviously no longer needs to change hands.

That cool void War Armor melted in the light, exposing Diakum's tattered Lion's Roar Battle Armor. Even if this thing was carefully made by Astral Mage, it couldn't withstand walking around in Old God's stomach.

It is close to the edge of damage and can barely maintain its outline.

But it doesn't matter!

Diakum filled the broken cracks and areas with light. The Crown of Shadows on his head also transformed into Crown of Light smoothly. The Eyes of the Void on his shoulders disappeared in the light, replaced by the ten silver radiance Light Wings that were maintained normally.

When Diakum and Priest opened their arms in the classic posture, a corona-like halo of light appeared behind his head.

Those floating Radiant Holy Mark were given life. They gathered into a divine geometry in the air and sang around Diakum. Then, under the gentle touch of Vigilant, they turned into one radiant "Golden Little Angel" after another and flew around him.

Consecrate him and sing his praises.

He is no longer "Devourer of Worlds". At this moment, he becomes the real "Radiant Holy Spirit", just like the "Light-Dark Duality" that a Naaru should have.

He can sing in the light or destroy in the shadow.

"Light emerges from shadow, and all enemies are afraid."

Diakum, who completed "Light-Shadow Twinborn" for the first time, held "Shadow Word" shivering in the light with his fingers. After becoming a demigod in the Force, this invisible thing also took on a form in his eyes.

A strange thing shaped by a shadow, like mist.

"What the hell are you?"

He said curiously:

"Why didn't I know there was a creature like you in Sea of Darkness?"

"I am Shadow Word. I am the spirit of bewitchment. I am the storm in silence. I am the sarcasm in roar. I am numerous and powerful. I am everywhere."

Shadow Word answered honestly:

"We cannot tell our origins at will, but according to some gossip, it is said that every life in Material World has innate evil thoughts, and those evil thoughts are regarded as original sin and are reflected in Sea of Darkness.

Only those who are gifted can activate us.

So in theory, we are you, and you are one of us."

"I see, I thought you were some annoying guy who always made fun of me."

Diakum shrugged and waved his hand, letting his burst of light sweep across the entire collapsed Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, purifying all the shadow-covered areas in this complex underground structure.

The light ran, danced and cheered, turning into an elf of fire, burning everything that was made of shadow.

"Are you going to crush me to death?"

Shadow Word whispered:

"You can already break up with us, because you have understood your true self and embarked on your own path. Our attempt to seduce you has failed. You have not stepped into the shadow, at least not completely.

You are really a freak!"

"Just because I can do that doesn't mean I'm willing to do that. Just stay, it's nice to have someone to chat with when no one else is around."

Diakum let go of his hand, letting Shadow Word secretly turn into a wind of shadow and disappear into the shadow behind Diakum. Then, Vigilant turned around and looked at the last stubborn shadow that was unwilling to be dispelled with the attitude of Radiant Holy Spirit.

He still couldn't see the existence of Void Lords.

After all, every one of those guys is Lesser God

In my current state of being a demigod, I am still a "big step" away from others, and there is also the barrier between reality and the void. It would be a ghost if I could see this.

"I did not fall into the void, but found my own way between light and shadow. Will you be disappointed?"

he asked.

Then among the whispers, a majestic voice responded:

"Disappointed?

No, why be disappointed?

Diakum Zastinss, you walk in light and shadow, which means that you can be protected by Holy Light and the void at the same time. It also means that you face the torture of Holy Light and the void at the same time. You face double the influence and temptation than other Force demigods.

Your outstanding performance this time made me appreciate and sigh with emotion, but you will remember it!

You can resist temptation and torture countless times, but as long as you fail once, we will be reunited in Sea of Darkness. I don't think you can stay vigilant all the time, even if your name is "Vigilant".

Therefore, we are very patient and have even prepared a throne for you in Sea of Darkness.

Go for it!

Return to your Holy Light, serve Him, and glorify Him.

But you and I both know that you will eventually return to the void, and you will eventually become one of us. It is just a matter of time.

Void has always been very patient with your ultimate treasure. As I said, only by giving up victory can we grasp victory.

So will I!"

"Maybe, maybe one day I will really fall to the point of making waves with you in every wave of Sea of Darkness, but that's okay."

Diakum smiled, waved his hand and said:

"What I can do in the light, I can also do in the shadow! And even if I become the most evil person in this universe, I firmly believe that I will still serve my Holy Light.

The light and shadow have been formed, and the path has been determined.

I wish you all a good future and don't get caught and beaten up by Sargeras again. After all, I can't find a second Dark Titan Mortal realm body to vent your anger on."

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself, Sargeras is also watching you, child."

The majestic voice sneered.

But the next moment, He said:

"Why are you standing there stunned? They performed such an outstanding comeback for us, where is your grace?"

"Papapapa"

A series of applause, cheers and even whistles sounded from the gradually shrinking shadow, like praises and awards for the end of this opera.

Diakum accepted it all calmly.

Then he turned around and stepped forward, picked up his Twilight Hammer and Ashbringer, and strode out of this shadowless place.

"Noodles!"

Shadow Word whispered in his ear:

"This is the first time I have seen Void Lords praise a mortal like this. You know, a demigod like you is just a stronger bug in their eyes. It's so impressive."

"Humph, this isn't the first time those bastards have cheered for me. I've long been used to it, and you should also get used to it, my shadow."

"Yes, noble Lords Radiant Holy Spirit and Devourer of Worlds."
