Original "Brothers" plus more updates[45]
"Insects. Wonderful life. Worth studying."
A low hum echoed in Apocalypse Engineer and Demon Forge. The huge forger Golganneth actually stopped his beloved forging at this moment.
The eyes of this Antaan Greater Demon, which cut off its lower body and eternally combined itself with the forging platform, shine with the light of Fel. It seems that it can observe the outside battlefield through the Demon Monitor placed everywhere in Mardum.
Golganneth is like finding a "war sample" that is more worthy of reference than the World-Ending Weapon he is currently forging.
It watched very immersedly, trying to use this last moment to observe and study a series of warfare characteristics of the insect swarm, even though the insect swarm was "devouring" the entire Mardum demons in a rather exaggerated manner.
No matter whether it is the weak Demon Guard or the powerful Demon Lord, they will all die miserably in the attack and slaughter of the insect swarm without any fluctuation or mercy.
Every piece of flesh, every piece of ore, and every valuable thing will not be wasted.
The insect swarm is exploring the "war potential" of the entire Mardum with a pragmatic attitude that Golganneth "appreciates". It is like a running War Engine, constantly devouring everything that is beneficial and transforming it into a destructive violent force.
What is even more rare is that this power is not given to individuals, but is shared equally by the group.
Every node is the tentacles of the insect swarm. They share war information with each other with an intoxicating efficiency, and the invisible power hangs over the poor spirit of all the insects, acting as their War Beacon.
The insect swarm will always know where the enemy needs to go all out, and where the enemy can be defeated and devoured at a smaller cost.
Their strategies are constantly being revised and fine-tuned, which are real-time changes, making the insect swarm a "moving whole". The demons not only have to face thousands of ferocious predators, they also have to face the invisible giant.
Golganneth feels trembling with this war mode.
It knows that no matter how many deadly weapons it forges for the Burning Legion, it is impossible for demons with inherent flaws to achieve such perfect strategic advancement.
Although the two types of life are completely different from the underlying logic, if the insect swarm is a true specialization of war, then the demons are just a group of "gangsters" who rely on their destructive nature and the blessing of Fel to do evil everywhere.
Yes.
In the eyes of Apocalypse Engineer like Golganneth, the devil is pretty bad Fel Creation.
They are violent but irrational, brave but not united, powerful but not learning.
Fel Force is a pretty bad creator. It just threw its destructive power to the demons born in Twisting Nether, gave them the nature of destruction, and then let these savage guys mess around.
Although Golganneth is also one of the high-level demons born from Twisting Nether, it never thinks that demons have anything to be proud of.
To this day, even though it took Lord Kil'jaeden twenty-five thousand years to finally discipline the savage demons into an extremely aggressive organization like Burning Legion, the evolution of "devil civilization" has only just begun.
If the demons don't wake up from the illusion of "Invincible in the world", implement the law of survival of the fittest in a down-to-earth manner, and shape the foundation of their own civilization from scratch, then it will only be a matter of time before they are completely defeated in the Six Forces battle.
To be honest, Apocalypse Engineer is very pessimistic about this.
Lord Sargeras is the true god of Fel, the commander and leader of all demons, but unfortunately, Dark Titan is too obsessed with it, and he did not spend time on the great cause of promoting demons and shaping the foundation of Twisting Nether's civilization.
In this regard, Sargeras is not a perfect commander.
He puts his own selfish desires above the interests of Fel Force, even if the Burning Legion he formed will bring extreme destruction every minute and every second to please Fel Force, this is only a short-lived victory after all.
Alas, Sargeras, cruel and powerful monarch, you do not understand the human heart after all.
Apocalypse Engineer found that he was a little too "sentimental" today.
Perhaps it was because of the aggressive mode of the insect swarm that it became aware of the prototype of the "destructive civilization" it had been looking for, or perhaps its demonic mind was affected by some vicious force.
Toot.
There is a soft sound and Mental Correction Protocol starts up.
The explosion of Fel caused the power of destruction to flow through the body, and the conflict of thoughts like an electric spark stripped Golganneth of the invisible Sha Power that affected its mind.
It knows that Vigilant is coming soon.
If that guy had one-tenth of the legendary wisdom and greatness, then he would never allow himself to survive today.
The glorious legend of Apocalypse Engineer will come to an end today, but it doesn't matter. As a forger, Golganneth has completed all the shocking designs in his mind, and it will die without regrets.
What's more, it won't necessarily "die".
Even if this is Twisting Nether, and the death of all demons here means that their souls return to Fel, what is there to worry about in my tired body?
What matters is wisdom!
Every war weapon of the Burning Legion is designed by himself. Those devices that conform to the aesthetics of destruction of Twisting Nether will make his own wisdom last forever in every roar.
I am about to die, but I am already Eternal Life.
If in the future the demons can use the Fel technologies they left behind to develop a true "demon civilization", then they will become the founder of a civilization.
Golganneth took a few seconds to characterize his life, and then began to use the remaining time to observe the war mode of the insect swarm, record his views and opinions, and send them back to Burning Heart of Argus.
Maybe Kil'jaeden also has its own ideas, but no matter what, in the position of Great Demon Lord, there is no more outstanding devil than Kil'jaeden.
The devil needs to evolve!
They need to evolve even more than the lives of Material World and the lives of Sea of Darkness. Otherwise, when their innate advantages are exhausted, demons will become the most miserable beings in this sea of stars.
Sea of Darkness has given birth to such "great life" as the insect swarm.
The intensity of Force War is destined to enter the next stage. It may be said that the real war has just begun from this moment, and the insect swarms are calling for "eternal Great Cycle".
Ah, what a perfect description, eternal war, Battle in Heaven, war of the abyss. Countless exaggerated rhetoric can be piled on such a war, and it is qualified enough to bear all these good names.
Will the future of the stars be determined in such a war?
Golganneth thinks it's not that simple.
This sea of stars is tough enough, even in the destroyed galaxies that Burning Crusade ran over, new civilizations are still being born.
The influence of Six Forces on the Material Star Sea is still restricted to a very low level, and the future of Xinghai will not be determined, at least not in this era.
What a pity.
I don't have the chance to see the ultimate battle between Six Forces and Material Star Sea with my own eyes. Maybe I can call it the "final battle"?
Well, everything comes to an end, and from the ashes of those ruins will the next era be born, or will everything be destroyed.
Damn it!
Sha Power is still affecting me!
Mental Correction Protocol failed. I have been wasting my little observation and summary time on these meaningless thoughts since just now.
"Boom"
The thick magic steel wall of the forge was shattered.
Hot rays of light burst out from it, melting the solid wall. At the same time, those extremely offensive rays of light also went up along the iron wall, leaving their own light veins in the magic steel of Fel.
It's like being "forged" by the star's light and heat, causing its molecular structure to change.
If this process can continue, a new material may be born under the intertwined impact of Holy Light and Fel.
Without the need for Golganneth to give orders, several Garothi Worldbreaker miniaturized mechas were activated. Amidst the explosive infusion of different energies from Fel, shadow and flames, these weapons of destruction roared towards the intruders. They had to perform the defensive duties they were designed to undertake.
However, in the next moment, the hot Solar Fist was released.
The exaggerated light and heat distorted the air and also distorted the carefully refined steel. The fastest Garothi Ravager could not even touch Diakum. It was violently melted by the light and heat of the star. The indestructible steel also turned into liquid molten iron flowing across the surface in the release of this energy.
Diakum carried Ashbringer through the Magic Steel Avenue.
He left melting footprints behind him, and the flame-charged mecha was restrained in place by Holy Light. In a single contact by Giant of Light, all its heat was extracted and gathered into a golden "Sun Shard" in the palm of Diakum's hand.
"Have your last words been completed?"
In the light and shadow that was so intense that the appearance could not be seen clearly, and only a vague outline could be seen, Diakum's gentle voice sounded, and he said as if teasingly:
"We don't have much time."
The Sun Shard in his hand is rotating, just like the light source of the One in the forge, constantly extracting heat from everywhere in the entire forging workshop, causing the giant equipment that is still running to continuously shut down, and allowing the magma below to cool down.
It seems that Diakum plans to use "Anse's Solar Fist" to end Golganneth's cursed life.
It's hard to say whether this is an honor, but it is indeed Vigilant's strongest attack method besides Enemybreaker Swordsmanship, which fully demonstrates his "valuation" of Apocalypse Engineer.
Faced with this declaration of death, Apocalypse Engineer did not answer.
It just maintained silence and asked after a moment:
"Your insect swarm cannot all leave Mardum. Why do some of them choose to stay here? This is a waste of resources! It does not comply with the laws of the insect swarm."
"That is the product of the first three rounds of incubation of "Rapid Breeding Resolution"."
Diakum explained patiently:
"The "air transport" that joins the war as a rapid reproduction emphasizes the most perfect response speed and maintaining combat effectiveness as much as possible. The price is that they are rapidly consuming Life Force from the moment they are born.
You can understand that those bugs are "incomplete".
They can only maintain a high-intensity state of war by constantly eating. Even if they pass through the portal, they will die in a short time. Moreover, due to the intense consumption of their body functions, the biomass they can produce after death is quite poor.
Therefore, they do not have to participate in the war deployment behind the swarm.
It is their the One mission to die in battle here and try their best to kill one more demon here.
This is a typical expendable force."
"That's it, it's a wonderful design."
Apocalypse Engineer praised it, and then asked a few questions about the insect swarm, and Diakum answered them one by one.
He is accumulating Solar Fist, of course this is not the main reason.
After Golganneth's last question was answered, Greater Demon said slightly confused:
"This information will be sent to the Conqueror. Why do you want to "fund the enemy" so frankly?"
"Don't I say that Kil'jaeden can't figure out these details in one or two battles? Are you looking down on our Eredar's most outstanding War Commander?"
Diakum asked rhetorically:
"What's more, if the demon cannot effectively resist the weakness of the insect swarm, how can Shadow Chasing Swarm evolve quickly under adversity?
Weak enemies are meaningless to the swarm, and killing the weak is a waste of time for them.
Insects have no joy, nor are they excited by destruction. What they pursue is only the supreme evolution and the glory of Great Cycle.
The weak die and the strong live, this is the truth of the insect swarm the One.
If they fail in their battle in Twisting Nether, it will only prove that the insect swarm has not yet reached perfection, and they still need to work harder to climb the road of evolution.
And evolution has no end!
What can a demon who claims to be powerful but is actually just "resting on its laurels" do against such a civilization?
If this war cannot lead to the evolution of demons, then Twisting Nether's Fel beasts will eventually become nothing more than "food."
Having said this, Vigilant smiled.
He said:
"Insect swarms have never been pure creations of the void. When I shaped them, I gave them all the talents that wild nature gave me.
They were only born from Sea of Darkness, but they are the products of the dual shaping of "void" and "life".
I have always felt that the existence of the Burning Legion is like a joke. Dark Titan needs a knife, so the demons are willing to become a weapon. They regard it as an honor, but they are completely unable to understand that Sargeras does not need them at all.
The real enemy of the demons is not Material World, nor other forces!
The real enemy of the demons is Sargeras!
If the ignorant and arrogant demons who are still proud of this cannot realize this, and if they cannot take back the power of Fel from Dark Titan, the fall of Twisting Nether will only be a matter of time."
This arrogant and crazy speech silenced Apocalypse Engineer.
It activated a certain device with its huge fingers, and then in the rising Fel Flame of destruction, it whispered:
"Yes, Sargeras embraced Fel, but He is still managing us with the same style as Titan. He wants to use destruction to create the order He wants.
How sad.
Both us and Him are very miserable!
You are right, if the devil cannot take back the High King seat of Fel from Dark Titan, we will have no future. So, in Battle of Nairan, is it really true that order loses and Fel wins?
Isn't this a "borrowing chicken to lay an egg" when the order camp faces failure?
When the sea of stars burned in the flames of war, wouldn't a world full of enforced order be born?
Ah, we were fooled!
The supreme Twisting Nether was also tricked, Sargeras put on the cloak of Fel, but at bottom he was still the same order Titan!"
"Your conclusion is somewhat contrary to Tiangang, my demon friend."
Diakum raised the energy-gathered "Solar Fist" light ball in his hand and said:
"But you are indeed one of the rare wise men among demons. Because of this, I must send you away with my own hands."
"Perhaps we can leave together?"
Golganneth threw away the meaningless forging hammer in his hand. It was a tool used by the demon Artisan to forge weapons of destruction, but it could also become a very terrifying weapon.
However, using this thing against Vigilant is somewhat impossible.
It raised its hands high and said loudly as if embracing Fel itself:
"Apocalypse Bomb The first weapon test has begun! Destroy, let all things end, that is the ideal that a devil should have! Sargeras, false god. You will eventually fall!"
"Boom"
The golden Solar Fist hit Golganneth's body.
It seems that even Holy Light Walker like Diakum can't stand the "crazy words" of Golganneth. Considering that Lord Sargeras just helped him win the war between gods, Diakum can't stand the slander against him by this vicious demon.
He wants to help Dark Titan get rid of his "big trouble".
How can you bastard shout "Fel truth" so loudly?
The demons should not know all this at this time, their current level of civilization simply cannot understand all this.
Maybe in the future, the demons will also awaken.
When that time comes, they will also realize who is the one who enslaved them.
Well, when Lord Sargeras sees the appearance of the "Devil Resistance Army" with his own eyes, his expression will definitely be very exciting.
Yet this is the case.
Compared with Legion Path, a purer end of all things is the future that Fel Force wants to see. It is not for any victory, nor for enjoying the miserable slaughter, destruction is his truth!
He will destroy other forces with his own hands and cover the entire star sea in world-burning fire. After destroying all visible things, Fel will enter the final self-destruction.
When Twisting Nether completely collapses, the ideal of the end of all things will finally be realized.
This is Fel.
Using destruction to create order sounds very evil, Lord Sargeras.
You have gone astray.
"Boom"
With such thoughts, Diakum opened his arms to embrace the destructive power erupting from the core of Mardum.
That is Apocalypse Bomb designed and produced by Golganneth.
Of course it is not an ordinary thing, this thing is specially used to destroy the world, and not every world can enjoy this honor.
Perhaps only an enemy world with an army like Azeroth is qualified to be hit by such a destructive power. It is the will that bursts from the source of Fel. What it destroys is not just material, but even stirs up the boundaries of the territory of the Force.
In the burning fire, Diakum felt the vibrations of Twisting Nether. Other forces were also affected, and disordered energy rolled in it to encourage this destruction.
Star Soul can't withstand the extreme violence of Six Forces's collision.
On the border of Twisting Nether, Captain Yuna carefully observed the entire process of Mardum's destruction from the observation deck.
She seemed to have reached a black hole erupting in the core of the world. It was intertwined with strange lights, not only the faint green Fel, but even the golden Holy Light was also rolling in it.
The entire Mardum is being swallowed up and collapsing, and the demons who are still fighting with the insects are looking at this scene in shock.
But soon, in the center of the black hole, a darker light lit up, like some invisible giant beast opening its mouth, wildly and greedily swallowing up all this precious and primitive energy.
It spreads faster than the power of destruction, and it is hungrier than the anxious will.
It is like the original hunger for devouring that was born in the sea of stars. Eventually, everything is devoured by it, including the entire world including the energy of Destructive Resonance caused by Apocalypse Bomb, and even the forming black hole itself.
Nothing is left.
Where Star of Mardum originally stood, there was only a completely broken and miserable star ring, a residue without any nutrition, and in the center of the dim star ring, stood the lonely figure of Devourer of Worlds.
The windbreaker composed of Entropic Energy perfectly combines with the surrounding shadows. The butterfly wings dotted with the light of fallen stars are also flapping quietly, and the light veins light up on the butterfly wings.
It's like the great devil who destroyed the world is admiring himself in isolation.
However, in the next moment, the golden Sunflare burst out in the darkness again, like a new round of Radiant Sun lighting up the darkness of Twisting Nether.
"Only one step away."
Yuna Beside the captain, Illidan Stormrage said softly:
"He is only one step away from the "god". Fortunately, he is from our side."
