It's all about human nature
The green dragons' disaster has barely come to an end today.
Their entire family broke away from the Dragon Aspects system and returned to the embrace of World Mother without hesitation under the leadership of Ysera. This is a great thing for the world, but it is not the case for Dragon Aspects.
But Diakum didn't intend to explain anything to Red Dragon Queen and Aspect of the Blue. He looked back at Little Star holding Platinum Disc and handed it to Malygos.
He knew that the options left for Red Dragon and Blue Dragon were already in place.
Chromie said that Nozdormu is likely to arrive at this timeline in the near future, and by then, Bronze Dragons will also have to accept the same torture and choice.
However, this matter is left to Aegwynn to handle, so Vigilant does not have to participate.
He received a lot of reprimands for the Dragon Soul incident. Even though he advanced the matter according to the path of darkness, he did interfere with the Void's "containment" of Ysera and destroyed the interests of the Void.
If he didn't intervene, it would only be a matter of time before Ysera becomes the second "Deathwing" under the erosion and interference of Xal'atath.
Xing Light and Darkness should have maintained neutrality, but today he favored Holy Light and was severely scolded by Void Force. Light Weaver Faction's power in Sea of Darkness was weakened by less than half, which directly triggered a series of chain reactions.
"Can you still hold on?"
Diakum asked in a low voice on the battlefield:
"Can I help you?"
"You continue your great work."
The voice of Overmind came from the wind of void, and it said with confidence:
"Lesser Warrior Bug" and "Genestealer" strengthened by Dragon Gene are ready to go. Sea of Darkness's scolding of us attracted many ill-intentioned people to take advantage of the situation, but there is no need to worry, noble Devourer of Worlds.
Your Shadow Chasing Swarm has survived its most vulnerable moment.
We are hungry now, we are thirsty now!
We urgently need more enemy corpses to forge the path for the swarm to rise.
Haha, according to the cruel evolution logic of the insect swarm, we still need some more powerful "materials" to advance evolution.
Therefore, if possible, you need to obtain more "powerful genes" for us from the remaining insect swarm branches of the Dark Empire. We have heard that the distant Northern Borderlands has a powerful "Crypt Lord" that can hunt dragons.
The injection of such brave and powerful genes will allow your insect swarm to give birth to "Tyrant Guard", and further we can try to hatch rare and powerful behemoth units like "Tyrant Lord" or "Thunder Beast"."
"Okay, I will ask Ristalan and his Lightforged Warrior who are stranded in Northrend to complete this matter as soon as possible."
Diakum responded:
"Sea of Darkness's punishment will last for a period of time, so hide when you need to and don't show off."
"It is the foolish flesh and blood that should be hidden."
Overmind chuckled and said:
"Please have some confidence in your swarm."
The contact with the void was temporarily interrupted. Diakum raised his head and glanced at the battlefield area. The terrain of the entire forest centered on Tower of Azora was permanently changed. But fortunately before the dragon battle, Green Skins The s' battle front had already collapsed due to the defeat of Zuluhed. Lothar and Llane had led the Warriors in pursuit.
They vowed to completely recapture Elwynn Forest after this battle.
After the battle has reached this point, it is difficult for Green Skins to come back, so Diakum can also take a rest.
He stretched out his hand and gave the "rest and defense" command to Maraad not far away, then turned and walked towards the ruins of Tower of Azora behind him. There were still broken dreams left there, but because of the departure of Dragon Soul and Ysera, the remaining dreams were quickly being healed.
However, that bastard Zuluhed used the Nightmare Spell taught by Cenarius at the last moment, causing those nightmare creatures to flee into the shadows of the forest. For a long time in the future, the lives Recklessness sleeping in this forest may suffer some unnecessary dangers, and some Druids may have to be invited to come and help.
"Vigilant!"
Alexstrasza's call made Diakum stop, and he turned back to look at Red Dragon Queen in confusion.
The latter came forward and said:
"Although this is our first meeting, I haven't thanked you yet for what happened at Ruby Sanctum."
"That was Onyxia's own action, not my order, so you thanked the wrong person."
Vigilant's response was very lukewarm.
This is normal. Red Dragon Queen is still the leader of Titan Guardian System, and Enemy of the Titans's talent is still in effect.
"I just want to ask, did my child Alestrasza choose the same path as Tarecgosa?"
The Queen said:
"I can feel her avoiding me, but her guardian power has indeed been given up by herself."
"That's not a bad thing. Without this power, wouldn't Alestrasza be the guardian of life?"
Dick asked rhetorically:
"Is Red Dragonflight's definition of a guardian really so narrow? In order to suppress Qiraji Swarm, that child was willing to endure the nightmare for thousands of years. In my opinion, she is the most qualified guardian of life.
Of course, so do you.
You have protected this world for many years, but the time of change has finally come."
Vigilant shook his head and finally said:
"Dragon Isles Perhaps the blocking fog will soon dissipate, and you can return to your hometown by then. But the question is, do you know what kind of power is hidden in your hometown, and how should you deal with that power?
I hope you can think about a question, Life-Binder.
If Dragon Aspects can no longer represent the justice of the world, can the Incarnate Dragonss who fought the war with you back then be regarded as the real evil?"
After saying that, Diakum leaned over to say goodbye in a very gentlemanly manner, swung his thick tail and left the scorched place that was filled with ferocious earth by Holy Light.
Red Dragon Queen stayed where she was, savoring what Diakum said. What she saw today was beyond her understanding, so she could only look back at her wisest brother.
she asked:
"Malygos, does the power of the golden pendant held by the caster just now really come from World Heart?"
"I have not been exposed to the power of Star Soul, so I cannot judge."
The king of Blue Dragon held Platinum Disc in his hand, caressed the Legacy left by his old friend Tyr, and whispered:
"But if I have to say it, I feel that the power is indeed very similar to the O'dorus Sacred Spring water we once drank in Tyr's Hold. However, after the pollution of Galakrond, that Sacred Spring was infused with order magic by Tyr, and its taste changed.
Although it is still full of power, it no longer has the strange sweetness it once had.
So."
There was a solemn light in Malygos's eyes, and it said to Alexstrasza:
"Let's go back to Wyrmrest Temple first and see what information Tyr left behind. It can make those children choose to abandon their responsibilities overnight. I think this information is definitely not trivial.
You don't have to worry too much about Ysera.
She is safe, perhaps safer than staying with us. She has not forgotten you and is still very close to you. She just returned to World Heart to rest.
But Deathwing has been confirmed to reappear, and the madman's power has been exerted on this land.
Demon, black dragon.
Alas, what a troubled time it has been."
"Are you feeling better?"
Warlord Margok asked, and Kael'thas Sunstrider in front of it nodded.
The prince's body no longer trembled. With the Titanforged Runes gifted by the head of state Ogre Shaman, he was able to suppress his own Magic Addiction burst without absorbing magic power.
But because he couldn't get enough magic power to replenish it, the hunger and thirst kept rolling and roaring in his body, causing sweat to flow down his handsome face, and making his whole body very weak.
"If you don't draw magic, you'll have to take some time to heal yourself."
Ogres whispered:
"But as long as you take a sip of pure magic power, you can immediately return to your best condition and even improve your strength. This doesn't seem like a multiple-choice question, so."
The two heads of Mar'gok showed evil smiles, and handed a Verdant Orb to Kael'thas's eyes, and it said:
"Want a bite? Look at the magic. How sweet it is!"
Feeling the pure magic power surging in Verdant Orb before his eyes, Kael'thas's throat moved up and down, just like the desire of a tired traveler walking in the desert when he saw clear water. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, but slapped the magic ball aside with force.
"Don't tempt me!"
Kael'thas closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:
"You can't imagine how much will I spent to suppress Magic Addiction's writhing."
"You really should be wary."
Mar'gok laughed and picked up Verdant Orb, letting it float on his shoulders. The guy sat cross-legged in front of Kael'thas and said with a sneer:
"The fact that you can suppress Magic Addiction now is not due to how strong your will is. Kael'thas, the downtrodden prince, it's just because this is the first Magic Addiction outbreak in your life. If you let your hunger and thirst prompt you to drink a big gulp of magic power at this time, your Magic Addiction will deepen again.
The more you drink, the more hopeless your Magic Addiction becomes.
Your disease is very difficult to cure."
"You know too little about the mystery of Azeroth. You only need one Arcan'dor Sacred Fruit. When I take the first bite, the sweet juice will nourish my soul and completely heal my Magic Addiction."
Kael'thas said dumbly:
"In my grandfather's time, when the connection between High Elf and Highborne was not severed, Quel'Thalas could get some precious holy fruits from Suramar every ten years, but unfortunately the cunning Elisande regarded the holy tree as political capital.
Especially after the two sides turned against each other, we will no longer be able to get the help of the Holy Fruit."
"So magical?"
Mar'gok's three eyes showed desire and inquiry, and it whispered:
"What is the origin of that fruit? Can it repair defects in life in an instant? This does not sound like the domain of Arcane, but it is related to the morality of life?"
"No one knows how Queen Azshara grew Arcandor Holy Tree, but the fact is that in the Elven Empire era, Magic Addiction was never a problem."
Kael'thas sighed lonely and said:
"Empress's garden is filled with Arcandor Holy Tree!
Every month her subjects can get a cup of drink made from the juice of the holy fruit. Empress regards it as a "welfare" to the people. This measure effectively ensures that Highborne can use Well of Eternity's magic power without being affected by it.
But after the earth fell apart, Arcandor Holy Tree only had a few seeds left, and they were all cultivated by Elisande.
For Magic Addiction elves like us, only Arcandor Holy Tree is the most precious treasure of Azeroth. Getting rid of Magic Addiction is just one of its functions. It is said that taking it multiple times can prolong life.
Governor Toserin and Sandar have survived to this day through this method. Unfortunately, they can no longer obtain more holy fruits.
Alas, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business."
Kael'thas opened his eyes and looked at Warlord Margok who was also in a panic. He whispered:
"You helped me. Although I know it was for utilitarian purposes, I still owe you a favor. Therefore, I am willing to withdraw from the trial of Guardians of Tirisfal and let you become the new master of Atiesh - Guardian's Scepter.
In fact, I didn't have much desire for the Holy Rod in the beginning.
I don't lack strength. The reason why I haven't been promoted to Demigod yet is not because I can't do it, it's just because I haven't completed the graduation project Blue Moon Dean left for me.
If you need that power, take it.
But I want to remind you that every Guardians of Tirisfal will voluntarily step down after more than ten years or decades. That is not a noble and upright tradition. Guardian's Holy Staff will not have a permanent owner because of its special nature."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Ogre Shaman rubbed his hands, very happy.
It doesn't care how long it can hold the holy object. It understands the true meaning of "Great Power Belongs to Oneself". With the help of Draenor Guardian Ring, it has reached the critical level of demigod. With the Tirisfal holy staff, it will soon be able to perfectly reach the realm of demigod. Through Karazhan's various collections of books, it feels that it may be possible to touch the realm of Lesser God in this life.
That is its ultimate desire.
In front of this ambitious goal, the holy staff and the divine ring are just tools, a ladder to climb to the top. After climbing to the top, the ladder is useless.
"Don't be too busy being happy, I have an additional condition."
Kael'thas stared at Mar'gok and said:
"I withdraw from the competition, but you must fully support Marshal Lothar's restoration action. You have an entire Ogres kingdom, so at least a strong Burning Legion must be commanded by Marshal Lothar for a long time.
Participating in the reconstruction of the Human Empire is the national policy of Quel'Thalas. I think this strategy does no harm to us, so we have to incorporate a touch of political considerations into the pursuit of Arcane Path."
"I will do it even if you don't tell me."
Mar'gok grinned, stood up and stretched out his hand to Kael'thas, it said:
"How could I, the majestic king, miss something that you, a Millennium Prince, could see? Who would joke about the power in his hands? But I am very interested in your graduation project. What made you suppress your desire to become a demigod and delay it until now?"
"It is the true meaning of fire."
Kael'thas held Ogre Warlord's hand and used his strength to stand up. He and his Ogres friend walked toward the outside of the broken dream and said:
"Phoenixfire of Sunstrider family is very powerful, but the end of the path of fire in Azeroth World is the legendary Creation Flame, Sulfuras Flame controlled by Ragnaros the Firelord.
That's the real Creation Flame!
It is the strongest flame that a Azeroth caster can theoretically master.
Blue Moon Dean thinks that I have enough talent to control such a raging flame. She thinks that if I can advance to Demigod status while holding Flames of Sulfuras, then my future achievements may be expanded to a level that is unimaginable to a mortal.
But it is too difficult to find Flames of Sulfuras.
That flame can only burn in Firelands, and the blockade between the Elemental Realm and Material World is the work of Titan Keepers. Mortals cannot break such barriers at all."
"But I heard that the ancient flames of the universe are the most powerful flames."
Warlord Margok said:
"I have seen the demonic form of the Afflicted Oturis in Draenor. The "Sargeras's Flame" used by that guy can even ignite other creations of the Force."
"That is the realm of the true God, my dear Mar'gok."
Kael'thas shook his head and said:
"Although it is a good thing to have pursuits, we have to climb step by step. Even if Dark Titan bestows His pure flame on me, with our current level, we will only end up being burned to ashes.
Not to mention that kind of flame, Vigilant and Argent Holy Flame are also holy miracles shaped by the Force, but do you and I dare to touch that holy flame?"
"If you choose to become Holy Light Walker, Kael'thas Sunstrider, I will even personally teach you the secret of Argent Holy Flame."
Diakum's teasing voice sounded from the front, making Mar'gok and Kael'thas raise their heads, and saw the blue half-giant holding the Broken Holy Blade stepping into the dissolving dream.
He looked at the two talented spellcasters in front of him, one tall and one short, and said in surprise:
"Why have you become friends? And looking at your haggard look, Magic Addiction broke out just now? You'd better not tell me that you drank the magic power to suppress Magic Addiction! In that case, there will be an extra "Lightforging elf" here today!
Please believe me, I am happy to complete this ceremony of embracing Holy Light and washing Magic Addiction for you."
"No, I almost did it."
Kael'thas stroked the floating Titanforged Runes beside him with some fear, and whispered:
"Warlord Margok helped me find the right path when I was lost."
"Hmph, my Ogres friend is being cunning. It just wants you to owe it a favor and give it up Guardian's Holy Staff."
Diakum put away the Broken Holy Blade, waved his hand and said:
"But that's a matter between the two of you, and I won't get involved.
Shadow Council has collapsed. This battle was a complete victory. Go back to Stormwind and rest. After humans take back Elwynn Forest, we will hold the inheritance ceremony of Guardians of Tirisfal in the Karazhan tower.
Mar'gok You'd better be prepared. All Eastern Continent's reputable spellcasters will be present when the time comes, and you don't want to embarrass Gorian Empire, right?"
"Wait!"
Wizard Head then reached out thoughtfully, rubbed his two chins at the same time, and said:
"My elf friend Kael'thas just described to me his plan to advance to the demigod level. Through the ancient inheritance from the Nar'thalas Academy, I suddenly realized that my Recklessness stepping into the demigod realm did not seem to be a good thing.
If even a genius like Kael'thas wants to look for Sulfuras Flame to create a more exaggerated foundation of flames, I think I should also spend some time to consolidate my own strength foundation. I should not be promoted to Recklessness but should lay a solid foundation like him.
So, now I want the Commendation Rune you gave me even more!
Among them is the divine power of order of the guardian Tyr. That thing is in the same vein as the evolution of our Ogres, and both come from the divine power of the universe of Aggramar.
It will give me the perfect Arcane foundation.
As for Staff of the Guardians of Tirisfal, since this staff will not have an eternal owner, I can wait until the next trial to join in the fun. Anyway, I can live for a long time.
Therefore, I can give it to the person of your choice, Diakum.
You can't hide your little thoughts from me!
You also have your own candidate for this position, the human named "Khadgar". I heard that he is not familiar with your half-Orcs granddaughter, so, you Holy Light Walker, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also learned to play favoritism?"
"I think Khadgar's self-esteem will not allow himself to accept your charity."
Diakum shrugged and did not hide his favor for Khadgar. He said:
"But you can try to persuade him to accept this mission. As for Commendation Rune, that is originally an additional "settlement reward" I will give to the second place. As long as Kael'thas has no objection, then I have no problem."
"How could my true elf friend refuse my request?"
Mar'gok put his hand on Kael'thas's shoulder, its three eyes stared at Kael'thas, and said:
"Are you right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. The favor I owed you has just been returned to you, and I haven't argued with you about the fact that you took away my Verdant Orb."
"Then let's make another deal, Millennium Prince! You help me complete the foundation of Arcane. When you are looking for Flames of Sulfuras, or when you want to launch a gorgeous rebellion against your poor father in the future, my empire and I can also help.
Spell casters like us who are "ambitious" should help each other, what do you think?"
"Emmmm, it sounds like you are seeking skin from a tiger, but let me think about it."
