"You are also very hardworking. You are just a high-ranking demigod, and you can send out more than twenty Faith Incarnation in one breath, and they are all operating in the same area. This means that your research on the mind and spirit is profound enough.
If other people do this, they themselves will be schizophrenic first."
Nether-Stalker's teasing echoed in Diakum's ears, making Vigilant, who was busy bridging the gap in his thinking, curl his lips and give Character Card a warning look. Faith Power, Light Weaver and Shadewalker, two Faith Faction that have bottomed out again, have worked hard to save for so long, but they were all used up in this wave.
There is a sense of spending money that has been spent for many years just to spend a lot of money in the casino.
But he still explained:
"Actually, it's not as scary as you think. Most of my Faith Incarnations don't require me to lower my mind to control them. They all have their own morality, skills, and mind to control power. All they need is the power itself.
I just need to give them the strength to watch great things happen.
There are only a few nodes that need to be controlled by me personally. What's more, Quel'Thalas gathers the elites of all major forces. In fact, I feel that even if I don't participate, they can end this tragedy on their own."
"But you can't help but participate, and feel that this kind of thing is very fulfilling, not only watching the retreat of fate, but also personally participating in it to witness its weak redirection when the courage gathers to fight back.
You see it as a strange pastime, rather than the hard work and complexity that others see it as."
Nether-Stalker floated in front of Diakum, and it commented in Ethereal's peculiar electronic music:
"I know many people who wield great power, and they have all been enthusiastic about intervening in worldly affairs, either to satisfy their personal desires, or simply to do something good.
But most of them end up frustrated in the end.
When they realize that pure power is actually not enough to change the outcome of most things to the end point they long to see, they will gradually lose interest in it and focus on satisfying their own spiritual pursuits.
Those who are surrounded by great power have their own style of doing things, but the world itself often has its own arrangements.
You are unique, Diakum.
Not only your strength, but also your attitude towards others and destiny is full of an open-mindedness after trying your best, and you seem to no longer care about the results."
Diakum stood up, moved his shoulders, and said:
"Indeed, I care more about the process now. If you can get fun and satisfaction from it, then a slightly worse result is not unacceptable.
But now is not the time for debate, my friend.
Come on.
Let us complete the last step of "creation" today. The change of time in the star realm is really magical. It is obvious that only one day has passed over Quel'Thalas, but we have been drifting in the star realm for a week.
Hmm, maybe a month?
I feel like there's something wrong with my perception of time."
"This is normal."
Nether-Stalker laughed with extremely high frequency and explained:
"The power of time can also be disturbed. Even in the Material Star Sea, the flow of time is different everywhere. What's more, there is no star realm with unified rules?
There are so many Lightforgeds under your eyes, you should have heard them talk about their experiences in Army of the Lights.
For these Warriors who have been traveling in different worlds for more than 20,000 years, Eredar is just a strange life pieced together by countless wars that are not even continuous in terms of the concept of time."
Vigilant nodded.
says:
"Twins once shared with me the strange things they experienced. When they fought against demons in a certain world for three months and finally returned to the Holy Light Realm exhausted, they found that they had returned to the day before their departure.
In other words, they experienced a battle that took place in the "past", and that was just one of the many "timeline paradoxes" they experienced in countless battles.
Twins advised me not to think about these complex time-related issues.
They said that if they were not Arcane Walkers who specialize in walking the path of time, it would be easy for their thoughts to get knotted in the chaotic timeline, eventually leading to tragedy."
"Well, that's your adjutant implying that you are not smart enough to sort out these overly complicated problems. After all, you are a Garrison Commander type Divine Storm, so what do you know about the secrets of time?"
Ethereal sneered, but Diakum was not angry.
They are right, there is no need to be angry.
The two were walking in Eco-Dome, which had been running for several days. There were Ethereal apprentices and Sunwell's Phoenix Guard everywhere using magic to clean up the ruins and level the ground in preparation for rebuilding the buildings.
And further away, at the third door where the sun originally merged, Ms. Vilara has already built the door of the Arcane Academy there.
There is only one gate and no walls.
But the towering building that is exactly the same as the gate of the academy in the memory still makes Diakum's mind reverberate.
Subconsciously, he held his head high and his chest high, showing himself the majesty of the Arcane Academy physical education teacher and concierge Uncle Di.
However, only Ms. Vilara and the Arcane element he summoned are "dusting" over there. The other casters including Aegwynn will stay deep in the Sunwell Palace.
They are not fishing, but repeatedly positioning Karazhan as the "star node" in the mysterious star realm to prevent this "Floating City" from getting lost in the turbulence of the star realm.
Everyone has their own things to do, and when they are busy, they have no time to pay attention to the abnormalities in the star realm.
The Eco-Dome provided by Ethereal is indeed comfortable enough. This black technology can even simulate various weather conditions including "storms" within the effective range.
As Dick walked towards his "laboratory", he raised his head and looked at the starry scenery through Eco-Dome's unique purple energy matrix.
To be honest, there's nothing interesting to see.
It's just a bunch of stars gathered together, similar to the star sea in Material World, but the stars here often exist in the form of "nebulae", covered with arcs of light of different colors, and it looks really beautiful.
There are also some weird things in the star realm.
For example, a few days ago, Dick saw a pirate ship made entirely of light swaggering through the nebula, and could even hear those strange songs.
According to Nether-Stalker, the star realm also has its own internal biological system.
There are aborigines here, but except for spellcasters like Medivh who have profound research on the astral realm, most mortals are unlikely to have any contact with the astral realm throughout their lives.
"You said before that the birth of the star realm is related to Titan?"
Dick asked.
Nether-Stalker shook his head and corrected:
"I said "possible", after all, even if Star Soul Titan wants to cross Material World on foot, it is a bit too far and unseemly. There is a legend that Norgannon discovered the existence of the Star Boundary, and that "the Dreamweaver" realized the value of the Star Boundary and opened up this place.
Connect all the valuable worlds discovered by Titans with the star realm and give it the ability to grow on its own. After that, Titans will travel to and from all parts of the star sea through the star realm. This is the way to travel that is consistent with the identity of a true god.
This legend is very credible.
Because among Titan's servants there are indeed creatures that clearly come from the star realm."
"Observers of Pantheon, those individuals who are respectfully called "Star Saint", it is said that their bodies are made of pure Starlight Shaping, but there are still Energy Nodes retained during the evolution process, which makes those guys look quite divine.
And their speed in the universe is beyond imagination.
When Titan Device in a certain world issues a command, a Star Saint will arrive at the target world in a short time."
Diakum rubbed his chin and looked at the very calm star realm in front of him, and he said:
"If Star Saints travel between different worlds and use the star realm as their path, then many doubts can be solved.:. Well, I am not a Arcane Mage, but I have also begun to become interested in these secrets.
If Titans take the star realm as their "Titan road", then do you think it is possible for us to meet Sargeras here?"
This "terrible" question frightened Nether-Stalker. The energy body under its bandage flashed light spots with extremely high frequency. It turned around and yelled:
"Don't talk about such horrible topics here!"
"Seeing that you are so frightened means that the possibility is very small, but it is definitely not zero, right?"
Diakum grinned and looked more seriously at the sun and the star realm outside the floating island, as if he really expected to see Sargeras wrapped in cosmic fire in the next second before his eyes.
But unfortunately, Sargeras seems to be very busy today and has no intention of realizing a little wish of "Holy Light Cannon".
A few minutes later, a somewhat disappointed Diakum and Nether-Stalker walked into his "laboratory", which was actually the big hole made by Deathwing when it fell.
Diakum uses Holy Light to seal this place, and no one else is allowed to get close.
Here he uses the secret of the void to deal with the remains of Deathwing, and recruits Nether-Stalker as his assistant. He must complete this shaping as soon as possible.
For this reason, Nether-Stalker, who was supposed to leave a few days ago, was forced to "work overtime."
But it has nothing to complain about, because Diakum gave it a very generous reward and allowed it to learn the underlying logic and effectiveness of "Curse of Flesh", the great secret of the void.
For Ethereal, who has become a pure energy body, this is definitely a very "practical" skill.
"With all due respect, this monster created by the two of us here in the sky" is already very powerful. Regardless of the fact that it does not have a powerful soul to adapt to it, this giant beast can be called an outstanding example of "creationism".
Even after I have traveled countless worlds and witnessed countless miracles and disasters, I still believe that,
The monster you created is one of the most majestic and destructive creatures I have ever seen.
However, you are not satisfied yet."
Nether-Stalker was suspended under the seal of Holy Light, looking at the creature hanging in front of him surrounded by Void Entropy.
It said in an emotional and horrified tone:
"You continue to apply various powerful abilities to this almost perfect work, just like continuously improving the performance of an already brutal war weapon.
You seem to be shaping a "The Destroyer" head.
But I know that the design you made for it is more than just the brutal beast I saw in front of me. You integrated your most important power into its body in a wonderful way.
Forgive me for my blindness, even though I participated in the whole process, I didn't notice where you had tampered with it.
What exactly do you want it to do?"
Diakum did not answer.
He walked forward and entered Voidform, calling for the intertwined black and white balls Twilight Hammer to float next to his body, and calling for the cold Entropic Energy to gather under the beating of Void Butterfly Wings, intending to complete the final "carving" of the giant beast in front of him today.
This is a "black dragon".
Of course, only the color of its scales is like this. Although the remains of Deathwing were used as the material, Diakum still did not use the overly aggressive appearance of Deathwing as a sample.
He designed it with textured scales, a more streamlined body, and a standard dragon-shaped creature. Its appearance is not as exaggerated as Onyxia's Nergigante.
But the wings of this black dragon are like real shadows. The "smoke" is wrapped around every part of the huge wings, and the tendons connecting the dragon wings to the body are shaped into new claws, making it look like it has six dragon claws.
Its head no longer has as exaggerated dragon horns as Deathwing. It only retains two low-key and even somewhat simple horns, but its mouth and sharp teeth are as destructive as ever.
Diakum stretched out his hand and made final fine-tuning for this black giant beast that was about the same size as Deathwing.
It's like a crystal Artisan carefully polishing his own work.
He said to Nether-Stalker beside him:
"I originally planned to use it as my "final work", but after thinking about it carefully, I may have to use Curse of Flesh to save something myself if I encounter trouble in the future, so let's call it "my most satisfying work so far."
This is me for Deathwing..
No, the "coffin" I prepared for "Neltharion"!
When it is freed from the fate of Deathwing, it will enter it to fulfill a new mission.
Supreme Star Soul already has a "spokesperson" who can speak for him, but he also needs a "punisher" who can convey his anger.
You are right, I designed this "The Destroyer" based on the standards of "Azeroth's strongest creature". Only when some arrogant bastard pisses off World Soul will this beast be released."
"But you designed a terrible 'blight' for it."
Nether-Stalker stretched out its bandaged fingers and touched the shadow-covered wings of the black dragon. It said:
"When its wings are raised, those diseases will be spread and released, and it seems that you have no intention of controlling the targets of these diseases.
In other words, when this black dragon flaps its despairing death wings and soars into the Azeroth sky, the creatures in that world will also be affected by it. I noticed that these diseases carry the power of Curse of Flesh. In other words, once they spread around VanCleef, they will cause a huge amount of "flesh mutation".
It was a biological disaster."
"It's a unique mechanism."
Diakum explained:
"This black dragon will only be released when the world is facing life and death. The "Frenzied Dragon Disease" it spreads will cause all creatures with dragon genes to grow and mutate rapidly, forming a "Frenzied Dragon Legion" with extremely powerful combat power in a short period of time.
They will become the dream of all invaders.
And when the evolution of Frenzied Dragon Disease reaches a certain level, when this "The Destroyer" has swallowed up enough energy, the power of "Glutton" I left in its body will be activated, and then it will enter its "second form".
All crazy dragons will be controlled by it, and it will also have the destructive power and power of "Azeroth's strongest creature" in the true sense.
It was like the dawn that tore through the dark night, shining a golden Sunflare into that world.
I can't tell you too much about the specifics. My dear friend, you just need to know that this guy's second form has a combat power that is not weaker than mine.
Of course, that form cannot be maintained for long.
But if it enters that form but still cannot defeat the powerful enemy, it means that even if I am on the battlefield, I will not be able to turn the tide."
Nether-Stalker nodded.
Although Diakum definitely hides a lot of details, Nether-Stalker still tastes something, it whispers:
"So, this is actually some kind of "alternative option"? Are you sure that in the future, Azeroth will encounter more terrible dangers, and you will be absent from that disaster? So you want to leave a sword for that world to replace you?"
"Just be prepared, my friend."
Dick smiled and said with Shath'yar, "Of course I don't want that to happen, but my enemies are already ready to move, and they will use all means to kill me. At the same time, they have to realize their problems for Azeroth."
However, that world is the core of this sea of stars, and it represents two possible futures. On this matter, I neither dare to bet nor can I bet."
"Dick, we once again observed the astral beacon of Karazhan. The course of Floating City has been reset! But now someone needs to explore the path in advance."
Aegwynn's voice sounded in Dick's ears, and she said, "I plan to go with you, so that we can return to Azeroth first, without having to follow the sun and slowly cross the star boundary with the floating island. In addition, I conducted a capture, and Staff of Sargeras is still in Azeroth."
That damn Ethereal Bandit is hiding in our world!
I'm going to get that dangerous staff back and give that damn Ethereal a good beating."
"Wait a moment, I have another hour here."
Dick responded.
He turned back to Nether-Stalker and said:
The Flesh Shaping of "Black-Eroding World-Ender Dragon" has been completed, but it needs to be continuously filled with Entropic Energy and Void Energy to maintain the purity of the body, lest any ghosts get in and occupy the magpie's nest.
So, I will ask you to take care of it for me.
At the right moment, I need you to send it to Azeroth."
"I would love to, and thank you for your trust, Vigilant, it means a lot to me."
Nether-Stalker knew the importance of this job, and it made a Ethereal gesture to express that it would do its best, but then Diakum asked another question, making Nether-Stalker silent.
He said:
"I know it is bad behavior to pry into other people's privacy, but I urgently want to know if any of your friends has a spirit named "Wei Nali"?
As far as I know, Shadowlands's Ling Financial Group's collaborator in the Material Star Sea is you Ethereal, and there are many rumors saying that Ling and Ethereal are actually compatriots from the same race?
In the disaster of K'aresh, those who survived became Ethereal, while those who died continued your tradition in another country, right?"
"This is Ethereal's secret, I can't tell you!"
Nether-Stalker refused to answer, but then nodded and said:
"I have indeed worked with Wei Nali. She is not a good partner and has many complicated self-rules, but she does have great powers. Do you ask her what she needs?"
"I just want to ask you to visit Wei Nali. The Maw may have a "guest" in the near future. I hope Wei Nali can help her for your sake."
Dick said:
"Of course, it's okay if it's inconvenient. Anyway, that "customer" has great powers and she can always find Way of Survival at the Maw. If Wei Nali is really a capable spirit, she will never miss such a high-quality "customer"."
A few days later (astral time), there was an explosion from the observatory of the Karazhan tower. In the reverberation and tearing like an energy storm, the wolf fox's Aegwynn and Diakum jumped into Material World one after another.
The two of them had no time to rest after landing.
They worked together to insert an adjusted Ethereal staff into the ruins of the Karazhan observatory, and mobilized the entire magic flow of Karazhan to charge it, making it shine like "Star Torch", thereby guiding Sunwell Floating Isle to a precise "route" while still traveling through the star realm.
"Why did you just come back?"
The old housekeeper Moroes who rushed over reported anxiously:
"Marshal Lothar's army has recaptured Menethil Harbor three days ago. They are marching towards Arathi Highlands. Mistress and Diakum the Saint should hurry to Wetlands to have a look.
I heard that Robin came back to rest a few days ago. Oh, Khadgar said that "Black Dragonflight" appeared near Wetlands::. But it was not the black dragon under the demon of Deathwing! It was a "Black Dragon Resistance Army" led by Tauren.
They are planning to rescue an important figure in the black dragon in Wetlands, and they seem to be trying to win Ms. Onyxia to join them."

Deathwing·Black Eclipse Dragon's form and Tenspora dragon's form are as follows:
