"Justice" partner
The time when Infinite Dragonflight was attracted by a certain call from this timeline happened to be when Diakum took Illidari to the Burning Legion to cause trouble.
This time difference came very cleverly.
The bad relationship between Infinite Dragonflight and Bronze Dragons has caused them, like "old enemies", to travel freely in the time network created by Titan. They have no way of controlling Demon Star Marduun.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as Diakum leaves Azeroth, he is absolutely safe.
No one is within the scope of the time network, Infinite Dragonflight can't even locate him now.
Of course, Infinite Dragonflight is a big villain with brains and pursuits. They will not be stupid enough to attack the current Diakum. It will be difficult for the whole family to withstand Vigilant's Radiant Sun Strike.
As villains who can travel through time and manipulate time, their home ground is always in the past!
After all, no matter how powerful a guy is, there must be a period of weakness. From this point of view, Infinite Dragonflight is actually a bitch who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
They will always quietly lurk in the moments when important people have not grown up, and take pleasure in disrupting the fate of those important people. They will even deliberately lure the annoying Bronze Dragons to come over and fight with them to cover up the more dangerous undertakings they are carrying out elsewhere.
Bronze Dragonflight specially selected the most powerful and elite adult dragons to form Scale of the Sands, specifically to deal with various major problems in the time network. On average, at least eight of the ten things Scale of the Sands dealt with were caused by Infinite Dragonflight.
But their persistent disruption of the timeline isn't just for fun.
Unlike demons who are keen on destruction and even actively seek fights, all actions of Infinite Dragonflight in the time network have a clear purpose.
They must be carrying out "terrorist attacks" on the temporal level day after day in order to maintain something that would not appear in the normal timeline.
That's a secret!
A secret that cannot be known by Bronze Dragonss.
But Bronze Dragons also has the ability to travel through time. They and Infinite Dragonflight are engaged in an almost eternal war in all known time. The secrets that Infinite Dragonflight want to hide have already been exposed in the past or the future.
Some Bronze Dragons know this secret, but they will not take the initiative to tell it because this secret is also related to the future of Bronze Dragons.
These two Dragonflight are very magical "one body and two sides", just like each other's shadow.
This is not some kind of artistic description, but a fact.
Fifteen minutes before Diakum returned to Azeroth, in the already empty Caverns of Time, the leaders of Infinite Dragonflight who entered this timeline first were hiding here to hold a conference.
Their number is quite exaggerated. Not only are there many adult Eternal Rippers folding their wings and landing everywhere, there are even underage dragons flying around. Some Infinite Dragonflight transformed into mortal Human Form and gathered together, listening to the plans of the leaders under the illusion of Bronze Dragons's sacred hourglass of time.
"There's something wrong with this timeline! There's a big problem!"
A huge Infinite Dragonflight casually placed his paws on the Dragon King carving of the giant hourglass illusion. While sharpening his paws with the noble stone statue, he moved his body quite uncomfortably.
It says:
"It has been distorted from the beginning. The source of its interference is far away from Azeroth. It is a strange trace formed by a series of disturbances caused by interference outside the time network.
This is inconsistent with all the trajectories of destiny we know.
To be honest, even though I have messed up many destinies with my own hands, shaped a twisted world with my own hands, and witnessed many bizarre changes, those glorious pasts are nothing compared to the "distortion" of the timeline in front of me!"
The tone of the leader of Infinite Dragonflight was full of disgust. His claws were embedded in the stone statue of Nozdormu, and he scolded fiercely:
"Even for us Time Villains, the chaos of this timeline makes me uncomfortable! Yes, I mean we seek chaos and change, but these changes are here.
No doubt a little too much.
Have you found those important figures in the trajectory of fate?"
As it asked the question, several Infinite Dragonflight commanders with different characteristics looked at each other. The first one to speak was a fierce female dragon. She said in a low tone:
"I went to find Deathwing. It's dead, well, that's not accurate. Deathwing is dead, but Neltharion is alive. The guy named "Diakum Zastinss" reshaped it with the secret of the void.
Now Deathwing, no, Black Dragon King is lying deep in the temple of World Soul!
I overheard those noisy sons of Loa bragging that only when the world is about to be destroyed, World Mother will release "Black Corrosion World-Ender" to join the battlefield. Those stupid beasts also said that Neltharion just helped Vigilant win the war of gods."
Speaking of this, the evil commander Infinite Dragonflight couldn't help lowering her voice, she whispered:
"It is said that Vigilant and Tyrande Whisperwind cooperated to summon Sargeras and killed the seven-headed Void Gods"
"Absurd!"
The leader of Infinite Dragonflight cursed:
"People in this timeline are very good at bragging. Have they ever seen the power of Void Gods? They are bragging right here! And they summon Sargeras? Why doesn't Diakum go up to the sky and let the sun set? He is squatting there?
If someone could really summon Dark Titan at will, this Xinghai would have been in chaos.
Eternus What I heard is obviously just a lie used to brag about myself and is completely unworthy of acceptance.
What about everyone else?
What are the results of your tracking?"
Its answer made Infinite Dragonflight commanders become embarrassed and silent, because the stories of their pursuit of different "Pillars of Destiny" in this timeline were almost equally outrageous.
If the rumors brought back by Eternus cannot be adopted by Time Lord Deios, then their returns will definitely be scolded.
But if you are a high-ranking official, you can't remain silent and not report.
So, Infinite Dragonflight, who had a huge scar on his face, shook his body and said:
"I spent some time tracking Arthas Menethil. He was just a child in this timeline, but Diakum Zastinss sent him to Draenor, and those Spriggans who were supposed to be destroyed used the mysteries of life to mature him to the age of eighteen.
Just two months ago, Arthas participated in the Northern Expeditionary Army formed by Anduin Lothar. They entered Lordaeron City and ended the rule of "Dragon King" Terenas·Menethil.
I specifically reversed time and tried to witness with my own eyes the scene where Arthas killed his father.
But I didn't succeed.
There is a dangerous power there, which even prevents time from being well controlled. I suspect that Lesser God must have appeared there."
"Oh?"
Time Lord Deios blinked.
What is the Dragon King, what is Northern Expeditionary Army of Lothar, it sounds so strange, but what makes it happy is that the timeline has collapsed like this, and the classic plot of Arthas's father-killing is still stubbornly going on.
Ah, it is so rare to find a sense of familiarity in such a chaotic world.
So, Deios soothed his tone and asked:
"So, despite fate's stubborn counterattack, Arthas still became the sword-wielder of Frostmourne, right?"
"Uh"
Infinite Dragonflight, who reported on the other end, shook his head in embarrassment and said:
"No, Arthas became Holy Light Warrior on the Human Empire, and now goes to school with his sister Arcane Academy Divinity School on Sunwell Floating Isle.
I sneaked over to see him, and he was staying up late studying hard in the library. It was said that the first monthly exam would be held in a few days.
In addition, Jaina·Proudmoore is also there.
She is Arcane Academy Arcane College's top student. When I went there, I happened to see Jaina skillfully using time travel to cheat to complete her exaggerated amount of homework. I also saw it there."
"Enough!"
Time Lord Deios can't stand this kind of "nonsense".
Its roar made the entire Caverns of Time and Infinite Dragonflights quiet down, and a strange atmosphere grew and swirled among the Holy Lands at this time.
Some smart Infinite Dragonflight have realized the reason for the leader's anger.
Out of control!
Everything in this strange timeline seems to be out of control.
Infinite Dragonflight people used to be able to act with ease no matter what changes in fate they faced, because they knew and controlled the final direction of all fates.
If the beginning and end of a line are controlled, then no matter how the line bends in the middle, Infinite Dragonflight has a way to straighten it out, and shape the flow of fate in a way that destroys time, allowing the world to advance according to their wishes.
Bronze Dragons will stop them, but Bronze Dragons is limited by the rules of Titan and cannot use extreme means. This causes Bronze Dragons to always suffer when facing Infinite Dragonflight.
But things are different now.
Whether it is the beginning or the development, this timeline has exceeded the limit that Infinite Dragonflight can control using the means of time. Here, they cannot even move forward along the long river of time into the future.
Because the future here is uncertain!
Uncertainty.
Infinite Dragonflight used to like this word very much, and they would even use this word to flaunt their behavior in a very pretentious way. Words with similar uses include "paradox", "possibility", "circle of time" and a series of unclear nouns.
But now, when the true sense of "uncertainty" is before their eyes, Infinite Dragonflight people suddenly discovered that in fact, they don't like this kind of truly disordered chaos.
The most important thing is, if everything in this timeline is beyond the scope of "destiny", what about the future of Infinite Dragonflight?
Will Infinite Dragonflight be born in this future or some time in the past?
"The future here is unclear, Deios!"
The female dragon Eternus who spoke first said loudly:
"We cannot be sure whether this timeline can lead to the "end of destiny". If we cannot establish contact with that "Origin", then Infinite Dragonflight cannot achieve the true "birth" here.
This is an unknown place for us, which is why Bronze Dragons gave up here.
We should evacuate too!
We can't stay here for even a minute longer. Once we get lost in this chaotic timeline, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save ourselves.
Deios, There is no time network here.
The rivers of time here are independent, and you should know how dangerous this is."
Time Lord had gloomy eyes and said nothing.
After a moment, it shook its head and said:
"But the remaining two Dragon Aspects are using the hourglass of time to summon Nozdormu and Bronze Dragons to come here. Didn't we feel the vibration and came here to set up an ambush?
Precisely because the time stream here is independent, and precisely because no extra parallel timelines will be derived here, once Nozdormu completely "falls" here, it will never be able to return to the so-called "correct destiny".
It is indeed dangerous here, my compatriots.
But there is also a wonderful opportunity here, an opportunity for our "Infinite Dragonlord" to truly be born. I am tired of Nozdormu's self-exile.
I'm tired of watching it jump left and right between "lawful" and "chaotic" forms.
Nozdormu is a pathetic coward!
It knows what happened in the past, and it knows what will happen in the future, but it just can't make up its mind.
We need to "help" it.
It's here!
In this independent time stream that once trapped, there is no way to escape, here completely turn Nozdormu into "Murozond" to help our beloved leader forever get rid of the torture of the "illusion of death"."
Having said this, the Time Lord's tone became tougher in vain, as if he had found some kind of spiritual strength, and he roared to all the Infinite Dragonflights present:
"Nozdormu and its Bronze Dragons are about to enter this timeline. We must let it enter our trap willingly and use the method we are best at.
Since that outrageous and abominable freak "Diakum Zastinss" has become the backbone of this timeline, we only need to launch an attack on the traces of Diakum in the "past"!
yes
All it takes is one attack to mobilize all Nozdormu and its nosy Bronze Dragonss.
The best thing is that this timeline can only go back to the past, but not forward to the future.
We just need to wait for the moment when Diakum is the weakest in this world. Nozdormu will inevitably show up in person, and it will try to protect Diakum to stabilize this timeline.
That's our chance."
As expected of "Time Lord", he came up with a plan that looked very executable in a matter of minutes, but there was an obvious problem with this plan.
"That Diakum is difficult to deal with, but the powerful Deios."
Infinite Dragonflight on the other end said dumbly:
"When he first entered Azeroth, we sent the powerful Aionus to lure him to join us, but Aionus was controlled by him in turn and died inexplicably.
We didn't even have time to save it!
That guy was already a legend when he entered Azeroth, and he had a dangerous artifact in his hand. Star Soul of Argus protected him. If you want to capture him at that time as a trap for Nozdormu, you must go there in person. It is best to let Eternus accompany you.
That guy is really evil.
His current combat power is approaching Lesser God, Time Lord, this is our last chance. Once he becomes Lesser God, he will gain the troublesome "time and space the One nature".
By then all "time and space assassinations" against him will fail."
"Hiss"
Time Lord took a breath of air.
Lesser God?
What an exaggerated level of life.
Can this timeline actually allow this kind of monster to roam freely in Material World?
Thinking of this, Deios took another look at the quite dissatisfied eternal female dragon Eternus. It now began to believe the outrageous news that Eternus brought back before.
Maybe Diakum Zastinss really cooperated with Dark Titan to kill seven Void Gods. But so what?
As long as he hasn't reached Lesser God, Infinite Dragonflight will always have a way to control him!
This outrageous guy wouldn't have to guard against time assassination when sleeping or being intimate with his lover, right?
"Then take action, take action! Don't go into the timeline where Diakum breaks through the demigod queen. Just look for opportunities to assassinate him while he is still weak, and attract all the Bronze Dragonss there.
Eternus and I are responsible for ambushing Nozdormu."
Time Lord shook his tail and shouted:
"After it's done, kill that Diakum!
This chaotic timeline is disgusting. The world has been distorted to such an unrecognizable point that it is simply a blasphemy to the meaning of the existence of the timeline.
My brothers and sisters, we Infinite Dragonflight disrupt destiny for a great goal. No matter how Bronze Dragons slanders us, it cannot change that Infinite Dragonflight's existence itself is part of destiny.
But that Diakum Zastinss interferes with the advancement of destiny at will with his own preferences. He is obviously a "time and space Destroyer" that is worse and more hateful than us.
He has no morality and no respect for time, so time will punish him!
Kill him.
Let this pathetic monstrous timeline collapse, maybe it should never have existed in the first place."
Other Infinite Dragonflights responded one after another.
They are all corrupted Bronze Dragons. Although they are no longer restricted by the hourglass of Titan and can do bad things in various timelines, they all have the most basic respect for time because they control the power of time.
When seeing this weird world that had never appeared in Infinite Dragonflight's wildest nightmares, not only Deios but also other Infinite Dragonflight felt disgust in their hearts.
They like to change the world beyond recognition, but they don't like to stay in a world that has been changed beyond recognition by others.
Well, these Infinite Dragonflight actually have double standards.
But Time Lord Deios and its assistant, Infinite Dragonflight Eternus, did not move. After the other Infinite Dragonflight left, the powerful female dragon whispered:
"You are scared, Deios. I can tell that you feel uneasy staying in this strange world that is not tolerant to us. Can you tell me where your fear comes from?"
"Shut up."
Time Lord scolded.
It doesn't like its subordinates to challenge its authority, but the fear in its heart really makes it urgent to find an outlet.
So, after a moment of silence, Time Lord whispered:
"You and I are both veteran followers of Infinite Dragonlord Murozond. We both know that our Majesty claimed that after Titan showed it the vision of death, it was unwilling to accept that future and chose to abandon its duties.
However, neither you nor I believe this statement!
Our Majesty is not such a weak being. He is never afraid of death. I believe that he must have seen something more terrifying from the vision of Titan before falling into madness.
He even created a doomsday timeline like "End of Time" but still called it a "blessing"."
Deios hesitated for a moment.
It stared at the stone statue of Nozdormu that was used to sharpen its claws. With its claws clasped tightly, it smashed the noble head of the stone statue into pieces, and then transformed into a Quel'dorei with short gray-white hair amidst the flying gravel.
It whispered to its companion:
"What I'm afraid of is not the Diakum in this timeline. What I'm afraid of are the Titan illusions that Infinite Dragonlord has seen. I have a feeling that this world, which is different from all the timelines we know, is heading towards the "worst future."
The future that will emerge from here may be the future that drove Nozdormu crazy and gave birth to Murozond.
If even Bronze Dragon Aspect is afraid of that future, I think we should indeed proceed with caution."
"But you can't deny it, Deios."
The powerful female dragon Eternus said in a mute voice:
"Titan does not represent correctness, let alone truth. This is our basic understanding of Infinite Dragonflight. If it is true as you said, this timeline leads to a future that even Titan is resisting.
Maybe we shouldn't destroy it?"
Time Lord was silent.
After a few seconds, it waved its hands feebly and said:
"Let's wait until Murozond is born, and let our Majesty personally make the decision."
