Chapter 568 29.Eternal Hunger Heart? No, I have better power here
As soon as he heard that Supreme Thief King appeared, Aegwynn, who was busy in Chamber of Heart, almost immediately rushed over.
But it was unfortunate that she came. When she came over, she happened to encounter another light-dark transformation of Diakum. In order not to affect the ecology of Cave of Zaralek, Diakum simply took Shadowed Heart and plunged into Shadowflame other than Aberrus Palace.
That dark Underground Palace had thick shadow fires burning from all directions, forming a dangerous flame barrier.
This is the Shadowflame that Deathwing is good at, the most perfect power formed by the combination of void and fire. It is also one of the fire spells that Voidwalkerss are best at.
However, the destructive power of the same thing also depends on who uses it. Just like in front of you, Deathwing poured the entire underground magma into the essence of the void, turning it into an eternal Shadowflame to guard its mysterious palace, making Dragon King frown when they came over.
"I can absorb them!"
Firelight Dragon Fyrakk waggled his tail disdainfully in his phantom form and said to Vyranoth beside him:
"This flame cannot harm me, nor is it beyond my control."
"Yes, you can absorb it, and then you will become a madman like Deathwing!"
Iceheart Dragon scolded:
"Don't make things worse, Fyrakk. You have to be prepared to go to Firelands to fuse Flames of Sulfuras in a few days. World Mother values your takeover of the Elemental Realm. This is the real top priority."
"Whispering sound"
The grumpy Fyrakk bared his teeth.
This guy looks fearless and will fight anyone he sees. Only he will listen when Vyranoth speaks. He trusts Vyranoth's wisdom, and War of the Scaled more than 20,000 years ago also proved that Iceheart Dragon is trustworthy.
As for why they came here, the reason is also very simple.
Aegwynn wants to get back his stolen Staff of Sargeras, so he specially shakes people. In addition to the four Incarnate Dragons who accepted World Power's blessing, Dragon King are also here.
Of course, Dragon Kings are not here to help catch thieves.
Dragon Isles is the home of all dragons. Now Aberrus wrapped in Shadowflame hides a dark secret. Dragon King must not sit idly by. This is a corrupt secret related to Deathwing.
Dragon King people don't care about what's in this palace at all, they just want to purify this place now.
"Everyone, Shadowflame's barrier has been weakened."
Blackhorn stood by the magma pool with its powerful Khaz'goroth's Hammer on its back. It opened its hands and said to the dragons:
"Diakum the Saint said that this Shadowed Heart needs to be quenched with the Shadowflame left by Deathwing. After Shadowed Heart absorbs all the dirty flames, the door to Aberrus will be opened."
"Aberrus has Dragon King to worry about. I believe in their ability and determination. Now I just want to know when that bastard Rafaam will come over."
Aegwynn's eyes are filled with evil spirits.
Ever since she became a legend hundreds of years ago, she has never suffered such a great injustice. Having Staff of Sargeras stolen from her was not only a matter of her own face, but the danger of that artifact was also a very important factor.
Aegwynn doesn't believe that a crazy Ethereal can control it well.
If Rafaam decides on a whim to give Azeroth sentient beings the entire job, the spatial structure of the entire world may fall apart within a few hours.
"Be patient, we will definitely find it when it comes."
The crescent moon emblem on Neri's forehead shimmered on Gleam. Her war beast Holy Sun was constantly circling around to investigate, and a ghost owl given by Moon Goddess was also patrolling as a sentinel.
This is a unique secret skill mastered by the rangers of White Lady.
In this place where owls fly with true vision, all concealment becomes ineffective.
Since everyone else is here, they must be willing to help with this matter. After all, if Staff of Sargeras cannot be found again, the safety of this world will not be guaranteed.
Therefore, Ysera also escaped into the dreamland, planning to take the opportunity to sneak attack Falam when it appeared.
Dragon King went around to disperse the probing Jarradin giants to prevent them from interfering with the ongoing quenching ceremony. Only Nozdormu stayed here. It blinked and looked at Diakum and the Shadowed Heart in his hand that were covering and absorbing Shadowflame above the magma.
It asked:
"This is the fourth time Vigilant has entered the night, right?"
"Hmm."
Neri nodded and replied:
"He said that he is not yet able to intervene in the An'she god's Light-Shadow Shift, but every time he experiences Light-Shadow Shift, his control over the divine transformation will deepen. Dick said before that he estimated that he can occupy the divine body after seven light and shadow transformations.
By then Light-Shadow Shift will no longer be out of control."
"It must be painful."
Vyranoth stared at the figure in the darkness, and Iceheart Dragon whispered:
"When I was dragged into Eclipse, I heard the suppressed screams of pain coming from the darkness. Although I don't know much about Sun God, I think what this Saint is going through must be very dangerous."
"He's trying to steal the sun!"
Firelight Dragon Fyrakk stared at Diakum with bright eyes. It spurted flames from its nostrils and the holes next to its cheeks, and whispered:
"I won't feel wrong. He has mastered the supreme secrets of light and fire. He can make my flames come back with just his thoughts. I guess he is simulating the transformation of the sun at this time. It's such a terrifying power. Aren't you worried about it getting out of control?"
Fyrakk said in a strange tone:
"In our time, Galakrond almost destroyed the entire world after losing control. This guy in front of us is much more powerful than Galakrond.
He is falling into darkness.
Once he loses control, he will become a nightmare for the world. Can't you guys who call yourself partners of justice see that? Maybe you should kill him!"
"Maybe we should kill you and put Chi-Ji on Elemental Lords's throne."
Saloras said in a cold tone:
"Fyrakk, your survival depends entirely on the mercy of Vigilant. You can try who Supreme Star Soul would choose between him and you. Stop saying such stupid things."
"Fyrakk is just talking about the matter. Although it is bellicose, it is not stupid enough to challenge an opponent it cannot defeat."
Vyranoth explained:
"But it is indeed child's play for you to place your hopes on Lord Diakum's will not to lose control. This is dealing with the void! Who can guarantee that you will not be fooled by the void?
We Incarnate Dragons have seen with our own eyes the tragic situation of Galakrond after being corroded by the void, please believe in our sincerity in this matter."
"If even he loses control, then I think the whole world, no, the whole sea of stars will no longer have any hope to ignite the sun."
Aegwynn shook his head and said:
"You don't have to worry unfounded. The problem now is Rafaam. That Supreme Thief King already has Staff of Sargeras. Why do you still need to risk angering Diakum and steal Shadowed Heart?
What is the use of Shadowed Heart?
The most important thing is that the card was found in Shadowed Heart's box, which means that Rafaam did have close contact with the treasure, but it did not choose to take it away."
Star Soul Spokesperson looked at Shadowflame who was being absorbed by Shadowed Heart for quenching, she paused and said:
"This shows that what Rafaam needs is not the original embryo of Shadowed Heart! What it needs is the "awakened" Shadowed Heart. In Void Herald Xal'atath's plan, the awakened Shadowed Heart is used to attract Eclipse from the Xinghai.
This makes me have to wonder, is that guy Rafaam also involved in the evil actions of Void Lord?"
"The possibility is very high, Lady Aegwynn."
Saloras whispered:
"Don't forget, these Ethereals were recruited from the star sea by Xal'atath. Although the Ethereals disappeared after Quel'Thalas's attack, I guess those guys must still be hiding in Azeroth.
Maybe they have been hired by other Old God.
By N'Zoth!
N'Zoth is a more dangerous void conspirator than Xal'atath.
After the failure of Xal'atath, it is not impossible for Thousand Tentacle Demon to take over the power of Void Herald and continue the terrible plan that led to Eclipse."
"So, we must stop that crazy Ethereal!"
Oreses leaned on the holy staff and said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps we should invite Nether-Stalker? It is very popular among all Ethereal factions, and although it says that it is not friends with Rafaam, they are certainly not enemies either."
"It makes sense. Ethereal's methods are extremely mysterious. We really need to find Nether-Stalker to be safer."
Aegwynn nodded, and Saloras took out a dark Ethereal crystal and went to the side to contact Nether-Stalker for help. At this moment, the darkness in front of everyone's eyes ended, and then Diakum was seen falling down in the light Gleam.
There was an ethereal rotating Shadowed Heart floating in his hand, and he said to the others:
"It will take me several hours to finish quenching it, but the effect of this thing is already obvious. It absorbed part of An'she's Eclipse for me, allowing me to complete Light-Shadow Shift at a faster speed.
However, the quenching of Shadowed Heart requires one more thing.
Although it can convert all energy into darkness, and its capacity is quite astonishing, it lacks the "desire" to actively devour energy, which makes it only a useful tool, but it cannot be promoted to a higher-level "god weapon"."
"You want to give it consciousness?"
Malygos flashed and appeared next to Dick. The Weaver said with a serious expression:
"No! Shadowed Heart in this form is already very dangerous. If you give it the consciousness of actively devouring it, you will personally create a magic weapon more terrifying than Dragon Soul."
"The problem is not how scary it is, it's just a weapon, it depends on who uses it."
Stone-Scale Dragon Iridikron, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:
"Even a magic weapon like Dragon Soul was not used to harm others in the hands of Lady Aegwynn. Instead, it helped Ysera return to the embrace of World Mother. We cannot stop casting it just because it is dangerous.
What's more, Diakum the Saint's current status requires it.
But I'm curious, Your Excellency.
What do you want to pour into Shadowed Heart and infuse it with a hungry consciousness?"
Dick glanced at Iridikron.
The opponent's golden eyes were shining brightly under his stone scale hood. According to official history, it was this guy who single-handedly shaped Shadowed Heart and handed it over to Void Herald himself.
But its purpose is not as simple as aiding the void.
Iridikron is a very complex "villain". It helps the void forces cause disaster in Azeroth in order to lure Titan back to this world, and then it and all those who hate Titan will personally complete the "revenge".
"Do you have a suggestion?"
Dick said warmly:
"What do you think should be used as the core of Shadowed Heart?"
"Of course it is the most terrifying gluttonous thing that has ever been born in this world."
Iridikron is not hidden or tucked away.
It said loudly:
"Galakrond" is the "Eternal Hunger" who desires to devour the world after its fall! No matter how much food it swallows, that terrifying dragon cannot feel satisfied. It keeps eating, even eating our own kind.
All Proto-Dragons harmed by it will turn into walking zombies like it.
I have never seen another gluttonous life like that, and I don't think such a monster has been born in the era after we were sealed! Except for the thirsty essence of Galakrond, nothing can give Shadowed Heart an insatiable appetite."
"But Galakrond is dead a long time ago, you lunatic."
Fyrakk said angrily:
"Either you come up with a plan or shut up! Don't waste everyone's time here."
Well, this is the character trait of Firelight Dragon.
It really doesn't mean to provoke anyone, it just looks down on everyone equally.
Except for Vyranoth, it will fight with almost everyone. It would be best if the other party is provoked, which means Fyrakk can fight with the other party.
But Iridikron ignored Fyrakk's stupid words. It pointed at Nozdormu who was silent next to it and said:
"We have the Dragon of Time here. It is very convenient to complete the casting of Shadowed Heart. Galakrond is always going to die anyway. We don't even need to interfere with this process. We just need to wait until it falls to absorb the essence.
This won't affect history, right?"
"No, your idea is good, but I have a better choice."
Dick clasped Shadowed Heart in his hand with his fingers, signaled everyone to push it away, and then took this thing and fell into Shadowflame, followed by Light-Shadow Shift.
"Why is it so fast this time?"
Neri exclaimed:
"It used to be at least a few hours, how could it happen all of a sudden?"
"It is he who turns and changes the light and shadow."
Aegwynn clapped his hands and praised:
"Diakum wants to inject his devouring essence as a larvae of Devourer of Worlds into Shadowed Heart! Galakrond is indeed very powerful, but it is still inferior to Devourer of Worlds. The devouring will that Dick personally poured into it is enough to make Shadowed Heart a "path artifact".
This is his fifth dark night.
After two more alternations of night and light, Vigilant will embark on the "Path to Godhood" that truly belongs to him. Cheers, People of Lights!
You really need to have your own Lesser God."
Twins held each other's hands tightly, with blessings and expectations in their eyes, but Neri sighed aside.
She knew that the time Dick could accompany them was really counting down.
"Ah, damn! Why is that guy so smart? It used its own Devourer of Worlds essence to awaken Shadowed Heart. That's awesome! This is much more powerful than the old dragon from tens of thousands of years ago."
In a certain shadow of Cave of Zaralek, a Ethereal dressed like Barat Ah San was dancing and looking at everything that was happening in front of the Aberrus Palace.
This guy's body is covered with luxurious bandages. It looks different from other Ethereals who simply wrap it around a few times. It wraps its whole body in bandages, just like a Ethereal mummy.
It was wearing a complete set of shoulder armor, belt and battle skirt, and an ancient energy gauntlet on its arm that looked very powerful, with lightning flashing in every move.
He is also a very handsome guy.
Not only did he decorate his Asan hat with beautiful feathers from nowhere, he even sprinkled perfume on the bandages on his body to make himself look very stylish. Even the boots on his feet were customized Consortium.
The Staff of Sargeras it holds in its hand represents this guy's identity.
Arch-Thief Rafaam!
And sure enough it came.
"But if Diakum does this, it means that those Infinite Dragonflight who took the initiative to seek refuge with us are useless!"
Behind Rafaam, another stylish Ethereal assassin leaned against the stone pillar and looked at the situation there gloomily. It said in a cold electronic voice:
"Those Infinite Dragonflight are only thinking about creating their king. Their goal is Nozdormu, so let them rush! Mix up the situation, and then we will swarm up and snatch away Shadowed Heart! Of course, after its quenching is completed.
Rafaam, this time it depends on the Staff of Sargeras in your hand.
You were able to obtain this artifact in the first place only because of the help of female Prince K'a'vze and my Shadow Thieves in Quel'Thalas. Without us entangled with the dangerous Aegwynn, you would never have had a chance to steal it.
Now that you have this staff, all the treasure houses in the entire star sea have become a joke in front of you.
So, now it's your turn to repay us!"
"Oh, of course, my dear friend Ajil, of course I will repay you."
Rafaam spoke in a smooth tone, and took out the handkerchief from nowhere, and wiped Staff of Sargeras in his hand very preciously.
The famous psychopath in Ethereal sighed and said:
"But if you bring Shadowed Heart to N'Zoth, will the big squid with nine hundred and ninety-nine tentacles really realize your desire after it's done?"
K'a'vze is an ambitious madwoman, Ajil, don't tell me that an outstanding phase thief like you can't smell her ambition.
She doesn't care about the things you care about at all. She has entered the darkness and cannot extricate herself, and is about to become another sad victim of the void and corruption.
And I heard that Nexus-Queen Kaveza has nothing to do with those crazy Shadowguard. She has forgotten that when we still had flesh and blood, she has forgotten that when we can still drink heavily."
Rafaam made a weird laugh.
It says:
"Those who work in our industry not only have to wait for the employer's job, but also choose the employer. Is Xal'atath a good employer?
I don't think so, but I'm here anyway.
Guess what the great Supreme Thief King is going to steal this time?
The most important thing is, Ajil, my strong friend, are you going to join my "Phantom Thieves Legion"? Or are you going to continue to follow that big squid like a rotten eggplant?"
"Huh?"
The phase thief looked at the lunatic in front of him with confusion, and asked in confusion:
"When did you get a "Phantom Thieves Legion"?"
"Oh, just now! Just at that second, I suddenly had this inspiration! It's too lonely to fight alone. Even the great and Invincible Supreme Thief King longs for the company of friends. So, Ajil, do you want to join my "Weirdo Legion"?"
"Hey, it was "Phantom Thieves Legion" just now! So the name you really think of is this third-rate comedy artist group, right?"
"Hmph, just tell me if you want to join. Don't steal those meaningless things. Rafaam will help you steal something really powerful! You'll see what happens in a while.
Just me!
Only then can we steal the most precious treasure in this sea of stars~"
