"Brothers add more[210]
The dangerous Black Dragon Palace Aberrus will be suspended in a star ring composed of millions of fragments in an "upside down" manner.
There are many dangerous things left by Deathwing in the palace, but no one pays attention to this "magic cave" anymore. Even those Jarradin giants who took advantage of the previous chaos to rush into Aberrus to save their captured leaders and elders are now hiding by the Aberrus palace windows, looking at this broken land with dull and stunned eyes.
Their savage minds cannot understand where they have been sent, but what is visible to the naked eye in this dark star field is a scenery that definitely does not belong to Azeroth.
However, for knowledgeable spellcasters like Aegwynn and Malygos, "K'aresh" is not an unfamiliar word.
They know that this is the hometown of Ethereal, which suffered from the disaster of the void a long time ago. It was targeted by Dimensius the All-Devouring and then devoured and destroyed by it. The people of K'aresh were also forced to transform into the desolate Ethereal, wandering in the sea of stars and becoming exiles.
Although the Ethereals have not entered Azeroth on a large scale before, the great spellcasters have their own ways to learn about the history of these "bandage people".
However, whether it was Aegwynn or the Weaver, they could not believe that the end point of a "thief-catching operation" would actually send themselves and their companions to this star field countless light years away from Azeroth.
Even for an artifact like Staff of Sargeras, such a crazy space teleportation is enough to put it under terrible pressure.
Aegwynn stroked the recaptured Staff of Sargeras in her hand, and she said to the others with an ugly face:
"Energy overload! It can no longer transport anyone until the space core inside it cools down."
"So we're stuck in this fucking place?"
Yrel, who was holding the holy blade, opened her eyes wide. She pointed at Rafaam, who had been locked up and even his beautiful hat was taken off, and cursed:
"This vicious bastard wants to leave us here to starve to death?"
"Well, if it's going to starve us to death, there's no need to send us to K'aresh."
Red Dragon Queen patted Yrel on the shoulder in a "caring for the little fool" way, then turned to look at the "K'aresh ruins" that made her feel scared.
The star ring they are in is the world fragment of K'aresh, but that star has not been completely destroyed. In fact, a part of it still remains.
Perhaps Dimensius the All-Devouring released some strange Void Profound Mystery here, causing K'aresh's astral core to become a "doorpost" stuck between Material World and Sea of Darkness.
Under normal circumstances, the gap between Sea of Darkness and Material World cannot expand to the point of "Eye of Fear" in front of you, but it is because of the existence of this star core that K'aresh has become the "nail" that Sea of Darkness has driven into Material World.
"This thing is probably the largest void node in the Material Star Sea. It can be called "Void Gate"."
Diakum's Faith Incarnation was suspended on the edge of this broken earth. He sighed and said:
"Ethereal people really tried their best to protect their hometown."
Neri nodded vigorously, while Twins looked around.
They are well-informed and can tell that there are very complex rituals arranged in the deep sky beyond the star sea formed after the world was shattered to isolate this place from the Material Star Sea.
That must be the "Planet Array" arranged by Ethereal!
This thing can isolate part of Void Energy from infiltrating Material World, but more importantly, it is to protect its broken world from being discovered by the Burning Legion. Otherwise, with such a big "Void Gate" lying here, it would be strange for Sargeras to let it go.
"Rafaam worked so hard to arrange this scene and brought us here with Shadowed Heart just so that we can help its hometown solve this terrible situation in front of it?"
Neri said softly:
"This guy, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have underestimated him. He is not just a psychotic thief."
"No, he is just a psychopath. Normal people would not ask for help in such a semi-forced manner."
Diakum complained:
" Many factions in Ethereal are looking for ways to save their home planet. Those astral merchants actually also have strong "local plots", and the most extreme ones even desire to seek the friendship of demons.
But the fact is that Burning Legion will not take the risk of offending Sargeras to help them recover K'aresh.
Ethereal We have no other choice.
They can't defeat Dimensius the All-Devouring, so they can only come to me.
I guess Rafaam came up with this idea in its insane mind after it learned about the existence of "Shadowed Heart". If you have to say it, the whole process from the idea to the implementation of the plan will probably not exceed three days."
"Ah ah ah, stop hitting!"
Supreme Thief King's screams came from behind.
Diakum and the three girls who had maintained an improper relationship with him turned around and saw Yrel grabbing a Holy Light whip and whipping Rafaam wildly.
Little Hooves' anger was palpable, but Rafaam's pitiful screams were just for fun.
It is an energy creature, and this kind of physical attack will not hurt it. Even though Holy Light is attached to Yrel's whip, Rafaam is a demigod thief after all, and it is not so fragile that it cannot even endure this energy shock.
The screams at this meeting were more to heighten the atmosphere and pave the way for subsequent negotiations.
But except for Yrel, no one else is interested in dealing with the bastard Rafaam. The Dragon Kings have already begun to discuss strategies, and the Incarnate Dragonss gathered together to listen.
Aegwynn is measuring the core area of K'aresh's star. Saviors Khadgar and Rhonin, whom she temporarily asked for help, are writing suicide notes.
Well, this place is too far away from Azeroth, so the enhancement that Heart of Azeroth in their hands can provide is also very limited. The two legendary mages feel pessimistically that in such a big scene, there is a high probability that they will not survive until the end.
Don't blame them for being pessimistic.
Regardless of whether others want to help Ethereal solve K'aresh's problem, the threat they both face in this situation is definitely the greatest.
"I'll beat you to death, you unethical bastard!"
Yrel slapped Rafaam and cursed:
"If you want us to help, can't you use some normal methods? At least let us be prepared. Now we don't even have a starship. How should we face Void Creature that rushes out of this damn void node?"
"Listen to what you say! Isn't it nonsense?"
Rafaam maintained his screaming tone and howled:
"The great Rafaam talks nicely and you are willing to listen, right?
Do you know how difficult it is to get a friendship from scratch that can trick you into working hard for me?
Rafaam never bothers with that. Rafaam has a smart and exaggerated mind. Especially on the day of K'aresh's fall, when my brain was "opened" by the void, I had endless great ideas.
No time.
I really don't have time."
"This guy talks confusingly. It's hard to ask for valid information."
Maraad stepped forward and held down the angry Yrel. Great Uncle said to the floating Dick:
"Staff of Sargeras is unavailable now, we're stuck here."
"We don't."
Diakum shrugged and said:
"The gathering power of Light Weaver Warband can still be used. Of course, even if you travel at the speed of light over such a long distance, it is estimated that it will take you thousands of years to return to Azeroth. So, except for Rafaam, is there really no Ethereal here who can communicate normally?
Where is Nether-Stalker?
Get out!
I don't believe that this plan was thought up by the crazy mind of Rafaam. If you didn't have a hand in it, none of Sargeras's dogs would believe it."
"Buzz"
In the floating shadows, another Ethereal phase thief emerged. It raised its hands to show that it had no ill intentions, stepped forward and took over from Rafaam and answered:
"Let me explain to you, my name is Ajil."
"The leader of "Shadow Thieves"?"
Twins said in surprise:
"Don't you always only serve the Node Princes of Consortium? They are the "nobles" among the star pirates. Why are you involved in this matter?"
"Well, that's just flattery from my peers. I'm just an ordinary phase thief."
Ajil is quite modest.
It leaned down gracefully and then said:
"We were forced to adopt Rafaam's overly extreme "invitation" method. It kept saying "time is running out" and was not crazy.
Burning Legion accidentally discovered this place during a previous operation. If you and Illidari hadn't teamed up to destroy Mardum, I'm afraid the star field nearby would have been full of Demon Fleet, now that they have discovered that K'aresh has become the void node of Sea of Darkness and Material Star Sea, the demons will definitely destroy this place at all costs.
You have also seen the scale of this void node. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to attract Sargeras to come personally.
There are really not many forces we can seek help from, and you may be the only one left in the star sea who has the ability to solve the K'aresh problem."
"Maybe."
Diakum waved his finger, letting Shadowed Heart float into his palm.
This was the reason why he didn't care that he was exiled to End of Time before. This thing was infused with the essence of Devourer of Worlds and had a close connection with him. Rafaam couldn't use it even if he stole Shadowed Heart.
And if Dick doesn't allow it, it's impossible for it to take this thing away.
Vigilant wants to see what kind of medicine Supreme Thief King sells in the gourd. It turns out that Faram is indeed the best in the whole world.
"But why should I help you?"
Vigilant said casually:
"Is it because of your semi-forced invitation? Or is it because of the "agreement" between me and Nether-Stalker?
Yes, I did promise to help it "try" to purify K'aresh.
But that's my promise to Nether-Stalker, not you!"
Phase Thief Ajil fell silent.
It must have had a plan to persuade Diakum to help, but before it could speak, Supreme Thief King, who was tied up next to it, yelled:
"That Shadowed Heart. It can continue to grow! It is just a "little rookie" now, because you who made it are a little rookie. Ah, distinguished big man, sit down and listen to Rafaam give you a good lecture."
This guy shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Dymus ate K'aresh, and other Void Lord made it shape this door here. Void Energy poured into the star sea from it to do bad things.
But not all energy can support poor K'aresh to maintain this form for a long time!
Only a few people know that Dymus left his own essence in K'aresh. The essence of Devourer of Worlds, which is very similar to your power, is what supports K'aresh to open up this "Eye of Fear".
Eat it!
Eat it without mercy and your Shadowed Heart will grow up.
You need it to grow up, right?
You need it to bear the pain of walking in the boundless darkness for you.
Well, I can hear the screams of your flesh and blood even as I sit here. You must be very tired with a sun that is about to set on your back, right?
Shadowed Heart can share the pressure for you, but it has to grow up first!"
Having said this, Supreme Thief King's tone changed and he said proudly:
"You can't beat Dymus, but the great Rafaam gives you a chance to steal the power of Dymus. It will be weak because of it, and you will be strong because of it. It's fine if you don't thank me as a big guy. How can you let the little fool under your command whip me?"
This reason made Diakum raise his eyebrows.
Who said Rafaam is crazy?
Isn't this very clever?
It captures the point of the problem right away!
If the void node in front of you does contain the Devourer Essence left by Dymus, then using it to "feed" Shadowed Heart can indeed make this artifact grow rapidly.
It can now only withstand up to 15% of Eclipse's erosion. If this upper limit is doubled, then Diakum can definitely easily and quickly fuse with An'she's divine body, and can even speed up the progress of the divine transformation.
"More importantly, Burning Legion's fleet is really on its way, Your Excellency."
Phase Thief Ajil added:
"Although in your opinion, it may be easier and simpler to destroy K'aresh directly, but you cannot ignore the persistence of Ethereal in protecting their hometown.
Currently Consortium and Orderkeepers are mobilizing fleets to prepare to protect our hometown. Those Shadowguard who have gone too far in the void have also been notified. It doesn't matter if they come or not. Any Ethereal who are still missing their hometown will not give up K'aresh because of this.
We will become the enemy of the Burning Legion
This will cause Ethereal's business territory to suffer a terrible blow, but no matter how crazy businessmen are, they should have their own stand.
Don't you want to see Burning Legion have one more enemy?
Maybe it's not that firm, but it's better than Ethereals continuing to support the devil's side in the war, right?"
The energy in its whole body was like a beating light strip shining on Gleam. It pointed at K'aresh above its head and said:
"You purified this place, you took back our hometown from the void for us, then all Ethereal will owe you a favor that can never be repaid! There are many ungrateful and shameless bastards in our race, and there are also many lunatics who have gone astray.
But please believe me, there are many Ethereals with conscience.
K'aresh is the weakest corner in the hearts of all Ethereals. If it can fly to the Material Star Sea again, you will become the benefactor of Ethereals' race.
When you have any needs, Ethereal will do our best."
"Artifact!"
Rafaam also screamed:
"The great Rafaam spent thousands of years searching for artifacts all over the universe. Those artifacts are very precious and powerful, but what Rafaam wants is not the artifact itself. Supreme Thief King just wants to return to his luxurious mountain castle and the beautiful and wealthy days of the past.
Ha, I lied to you!
Supreme Thief King only wants the most precious treasure in this sea of stars.
K'aresh.
Yes, Supreme Thief King only wants K'aresh!
The great Rafaam will transform my hometown into the most beautiful spaceship in the world and become the eternal residence of "Phantom Thieves Legion". Rafaam will drive it to every corner of this sea of stars and collect more artifacts.
But you need to pay for hiring help, and the great Supreme Thief King knows the rules of employment, so go get it, go get it!"
It spit out a key from the energy body's mouth, which happened to fall into the hands of Yrel.
Rafaam shouted:
"Go and get it from Supreme Thief King's treasure house, but taking the money means that the employment relationship is established, so you have to work hard."
"I have been to Rafaam's treasure house once. I can only say that you are indeed blessed today."
Phase Thief Ajil smiled, took out a key of the same style from his bandage, presented it with both hands, and said to everyone gathered in front of him:
"I am not very talented, but I also have a relatively wealthy treasure trove of shadow thieves. I will give it to you as a salary."
Under the leadership of these two guys, one Ethereal Bandit appeared from the surrounding shadows one after another. They stepped forward in silence and took out the most precious things left after they lost their hometown, flesh and blood, and their will.
One after another, the keys to the thief's treasure house were put into the hands of Diakum and others, like a silent prayer, praying and hoping that these Saviors could help them regain their hometown today.
Yrel glanced at Archbishop Nali, who nodded to her, so Little Hooves curiously picked up Rafaam's treasure house key and twisted it gently in the air. The next moment, a magic door quietly opened.
Yrel blinked, reached in and grabbed it gently, and an ancient staff was taken out from Rafaam's treasure house.
This thing looks very simple in appearance, with no additional decoration at all. There is only an engraving with the inscription Titan on the head of the staff. The head of the staff is dotted with buds and is shaped into a somewhat rough crescent shape.
Yrel is not a spell caster, so she doesn't quite understand the value of this staff, but Diakum raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Staff of Sechinar? Where did you get this weapon that once belonged to Eonar?"
"Secret! Hey, it's an industry secret that belongs exclusively to Supreme Thief King. I definitely can't tell you."
Rafaam chuckled.
The eyes shaped by the light spots Gleam were filled with a very distressed light, but they still had to make a generous and righteous gesture.
After Diakum said the name of this staff, Yrel was so frightened that he almost dropped the staff on the ground.
Eonar Isn't that the name of Life-Binder Titan?
So, this quaint walking stick was once Titan's personal belongings?
Red Dragon Queen took Primal Staff and felt it carefully. As a former guardian of life, she had received blessings from Life Titan in ancient times. After a moment, she nodded to the others and said:
"It is indeed the aura of Ms. Eonar. This staff contains her Power of Rebirth."
"You have been in contact with Life-Binder!"
Saloras's eyes lit up, he turned to Rafaam and said:
"So, you must know where the life Titan Soul is hidden, right?"
"Rafaam doesn't know!"
Supreme Thief King replied immediately:
"Rafaam is not allowed to tell others any details about this matter. Please don't frame good people!"
"You have indeed been there."
Diakum and all Eredar are excited.
Life Titan Eonar, who escaped the clutches of Dark Titan, is an important part of their great cause of recovering Argus.
In order to find Eonar's hiding place, Diakum even made a deal with the devil, but the specific location of the planet could not be found in the deciphered Burning Legion ciphertext, but the crazy Ethereal Bandit in front of him had actually been there.
This is really an unexpected surprise.
"Take out all the artifacts in its treasure house and complete their respective arming!"
Diakum glanced at the two "suns" in this dark galaxy that had declined to red dwarf stars, and then handed Shadowed Heart to Saloras, and he warned:
"You first use it to extract Void Energy from K'aresh. I cannot use this fragile Faith Incarnation to purify this void node. I must come "in person". But Sea of Darkness will not allow you to destroy this "Void Gate".
Devourer of Worlds will send its servants to attack and hinder you, please hold on."
Aegwynn pulled out a staff from the treasure house of Rafaam, Primal Staff, whose head was shaped like golden wings and held a platinum energy ball on top of the staff. She asked in a deep voice:
"How long will it take for your seventh transformation from night to light to be completed?"
"All I can say is as soon as possible."
Vigilant said as Faith Incarnation dispersed:
"If nothing can be done, retreat. Although you can't return to Azeroth here, you can enter the star realm. Ethereal will also help, right?"
He looked at Ethereal Bandit Ajil, who assured him seriously:
"In the name of the exiles and Ethereal's last dignity, we will do our best and persist until you return here with great glory! You have saved so many people, please help us."
