Chapter 658 26.Yrel This kid has been really smart since he was a child - more updates [55]
(Additional update for the "Sea of Books Rolling Over and Looking for" brothers [5/5])
General Staghelm couldn't calm down for a long time, even though they were still in the middle of a war with a sudden invasion of demons, but the shock brought by just witnessing "Heavenly Revelation" could not be described in just one or two words.
As an outstanding Shadow Hunters Grand Lord, Fandral Staghelm is proud of his calmness and strategy in any situation.
But at this moment, he found that he could not stay rational no matter what, even though he knew very well that this "divine revelation" actually had a strong direction, and that Mother of Light's jihad declaration was essentially a trick to "manipulate faith."
They are no different from those cult leaders who incite their followers to do terrible things in the name of faith, but the problem is that when Xe'ra issued a declaration of jihad, there was really High Heaven's door behind her!
Without the endorsement of heaven, fanatics bound by faith can still worship and sacrifice; now that there is a real opportunity to visit High Heaven, General Staghelm simply cannot imagine how restless those People of Light will be because of this?
Not to mention those fanatics, even General Staghelm, the Shadow Hunters who walks in the dark, even has an "impulse".
Obviously Light Weaver said nothing
Obviously everyone only saw the opening of High Heaven's Gate, but did not see the scenery inside High Heavens at all.
Obviously, everyone sees only the whole process of the mysterious and powerful Naaru climbing Faith Stairway, but everyone is willing to believe that the light behind that supreme door contains all the good things that individual living beings desire.
That is not an expectation, nor should it be a desire, nor can it develop into greed.
That should be a "reward"!
It is a kind of reward given to people who have done good deeds and accumulated good deeds after they have paid Consecration and sacrificed for their own moral principles and beliefs, and then faced their own torture and Judgment at the end of their lives. After proving that their lives are meaningful and worthy of recognition,
Such an award should be earned by oneself throughout one's life, rather than by participating in a war and killing enough "enemies of faith."
That won't eliminate fanaticism, it will only encourage fanaticism!
This is exactly what General Staghelm is puzzled about.
As Shadow Hunters who first followed Vigilant, he knew very well that Vigilant had always been quite cautious in resisting the fanaticism of faith.
If he is really "High Heaven Master", then why would he allow that Naaru Xe'ra to issue such an obvious jihad declaration against People of Light in the entire star sea in the name of Holy Light?
Wouldn't this make the already "overheated" Holy Light in his mouth even hotter?
Unless
Fandral Staghelm rubbed the center of his eyebrows.
He thought of the divinely inspired Mother of Light he had just seen crossing over Faith Stairway. There was a certain distance that even Naaru as powerful as her had a difficult time walking.
So, this Faith Stairway is a trial in itself?
Only when certain conditions are met can one enter High Heaven's Gate and enjoy the peace given by Holy Light forever?
Hiss!
General Staghelm suddenly realized at this moment that he seemed to understand Diakum the Saint's operating ideas.
If the current Holy Light fanaticism in the star sea cannot be cooled down by other means, then it is a feasible strategy to launch a holy war to allow the fanatics to aim their weapons at the correct enemy, so that the fury in their hearts can be released with the "Walk of Justice", and then to subtly change the thinking of the fanatics through the trial of Faith Stairway.
"Seven Sha Trial! Inner Demon Curse?"
These two words jumped into Fandral Staghelm's mind.
The former is the official name, and the latter is Vigilant's self-deprecation.
As Shadow Hunters, he is very aware of the destructive power of torture of emotions and desires on fanatics and blind followers.
They will experience the collapse of their fanatical will and become emotionally depressed and confused. Until they understand that they have found a great morality that is truly worthy of persistence and can withstand self-examination, they will be reborn.
This is how Vigilant "transformed" Lightforged Warband.
Now he wants to expand this model to all People of Light.
The best thing is that even for such things as "great morality that can withstand self-examination", the thoughtful Diakum the Saint has already prepared it for Warrior of Light.
Light up the sun!
This is undoubtedly the most righteous and greatest ambition and goal in the current sea of stars. It is really closely related to the future of every individual and group of life in the sea of stars.
In such a holy war, the original fanaticism and blind obedience to Naaru will be replaced by the great goal of "igniting the sun". When the sun is truly ignited by People of Light, and when the most radical and fanatical souls learn reason and tolerance under Faith Stairway, Army of the Light's fanaticism will be cured without medicine.
"Wonderful."
Fandral Staghelm said this, and when he was about to tell his understanding to the hesitant and silent companions around him, a blast from the heart made all the Shadow Hunterss, including him, cry out in pain.
They saw a vision in a trance.
Their leader, Light Weaver, who walks in light and shadow, is suspended in a lightless night. He is walking into the darkness holding a dim Light's Heart.
He is undergoing a transformation of light and shadow, but this transformation is different from all previous Light-Shadow Twinborn.
This represents some kind of strange "symbol", otherwise it would not be possible to cross the distance between the world and the sea of stars, and at the same time be projected in the minds of these hunters who follow the path of shadow.
They are also considered believers, and Diakum is their beloved master.
The contact with Faith Power allows them to feel the changes that Diakum the Saint is experiencing at this time more clearly than others.
"You need help!"
Fandral Staghelm shouted.
This sound seemed to be heard by Vigilant who was far away in Dymus's stomach, and he stopped walking into the night.
Holding the dim Light's Heart, he turned around and saw that Holy Light was floating under the entanglement of void psionic energy. Diakum, who seemed to be in "light and shadow" at the same time, smiled at Fandral Staghelm and Shadow Hunters.
He even waved at them.
He said something and then disappeared into the darkness.
When the illusion Dispersion occurred, Fandral Staghelm rubbed his bleeding eyes, looked back at General Lirath, and said hoarsely:
"Did you hear what he said?"
"He said, "Hold firm and wait for me to come back."
General Lirath repeated somewhat uncertainly:
"It should be this sentence. There is too much "noise" in that picture. There is a powerful void entity interfering with our faith connection with Vigilant.
The place he is in is abnormal!
That's not Sea of Darkness or another Void Domain. The most important thing is, where is he going on a long journey?"
"We can't feel Light Weaver anymore!"
Frightened shouts rang out from the crowd, causing Fandral Staghelm and Lirath to turn around at the same time. Several Shadow Hunters, who were usually very fanatical, covered their heads and shouted like crazy under the suppression of other companions:
"He's gone. He's dead. He's fallen. We can't feel him anymore! Light Weaver has fallen."
"Shut him up!"
General Staghelm scolded.
Immediately, several Shifting Sands Guardian veterans rushed up and kicked the guy who "confused the military's morale" and then dragged him aside with his mouth covered.
But those guys weren't talking nonsense either.
Their connection with Light Weaver's faith was indeed "cut off" at this moment, just like a "thread" that had long been accustomed to being connected to them was suddenly severed, leaving them at a loss for what to do.
This should have been very bad news.
This "empty" feeling often means that the Beloved Lord is really gone, but combined with what Fandral Staghelm and Lirath just saw and heard in that wonderful projection, Faith Power's sudden Dispersion seems to have a quite interesting meaning.
Vigilant Let them wait for his return.
This "farewell" alone is enough to show that this "fall" itself is also part of Diakum the Saint's plan.
"He will come back."
General Staghelm pulled up his hood, put on his Sha-Touched Weapon, and said something in a deep voice, as if to give himself confidence. But just when he stood up and prepared to lead the Shadow Hunterss to continue fighting against the demons that invaded Azeroth, his movements suddenly froze.
It's like being struck by lightning.
General Lirath also looked back curiously, and then saw the scarlet Soul-Reaping War Scythe in the combat bag behind Fandral Staghelm. She rubbed her eyes and whispered:
"I'm sure it wasn't here just now! This weapon"
"This is one of the two weapons of Light Weaver under Voidform. It is called Cursed Maw, but it will appear in the form of a sickle in the hands of Vigilant."
General Staghelm said:
"He left it to us, knowing that we would need it! While he was no longer in this world, his followers held his holy blade to defend this place for him!
Yes.
This is the oracle of Light Weaver!"
He stretched out his hand and held Soul-Reaping War Scythe in his hand. There was a crazy soul in this war sickle looking at him and coldly telling him that he could only "borrow" it and could not own it.
But General Staghelm doesn't care.
The demons under Kil'jaeden are madly invading Azeroth. Undead and Naga are the vanguard of the demons. No one knows I wonder when Fallen Titan will be dropped on the road, but a few hours ago, Mount Hyjal had been flattened by a round of Orbital Bombardment from the Demon Starship.
The intensity of this war will be far greater than before, and he must have such a weapon to be able to complete his journey of chasing shadows.
Faced with General Staghelm's remarks, Lirath complained:
"You are so fanatical. What you just said made you look like a fanatic."
Fandral Staghelm shrugged and joked in a low voice:
"I'm pretending, I want to go to heaven. Where are you?"
General Lirath said nothing.
After a few seconds, she grabbed the Void Flying Star Warbow made from the tentacle tendons of the sea monster Aku'mai next to her, and aimed at a Doom Lord that flew down from high altitude.
The moment the arrow left the string, she said in a voice that only she could hear:
"Who wouldn't?"
"I can't feel Diakum anymore, he's gone. He's gone."
Saloras's panicked shouts echoed on the battlefield of Shattrath City. Along with the archbishop's rare emotional loss of control, there was also a super-large-scale Mind Storm.
That thing almost wiped out the demons and Void Creature under the entire city wall. The void energy released with the pain of loss turned into a black sharp blade, twisting the cruel mind into the most deadly Mind Spike.
Before those demons were crushed by the psionic blade, their minds had already been torn apart by the rampaging Saloras.
At this time, Archbishop of Holy Twilight is suspended in the air, and her long hair is flying like a Medusa.
The terrifying psionic energy extended and raged like the armor and combat cloak that covered her body, eventually making her merge with the darkness that shrouded the earth after losing the sun.
"My Diakum is dead. Why are you still alive?"
The cold and cruel Shath'yar echoed with vibrato and accent, accompanied by a torn storm of psionic energy rolling up in the night wilderness outside the city. When Saloras raised the Blade of the Black Empire in his hand, the "Herald of Despair·Kaz'rogal", which had been completely shadow-cast, was also released.
This guy still maintains the ferocious form of Doom Lord, but the pair of wings that should have been brutal have been reshaped by the void catalyst into a pair of more ferocious and sickly "double claws". The purple energy surrounds it and creates the illusion of giant tentacles every time it moves.
Kaz'rogal embraced the shadow, even if it was not voluntary.
But instead of being eliminated, the cruelty belonging to Greater Demon manifested itself in a crazier and more deadly way.
It sang loudly in Shath'yar, taking pleasure in tearing apart the minds of those demons. It also released spells to twist their filthy bodies into sick flesh and blood monsters. It released them like it was raising its own herd, and swayed its psionic energy to weave and devour the spirit of Devouring Plague.
The process of being transformed by the void was painful, but now Kaz'rogal, who has seven eyes, enjoys the wonderful feeling of "spreading the truth."
It longs to inflict the pain it has suffered on other demons so that they can also listen to the empty wisdom it has received. Unfortunately, the demons driven crazy by its "preaching" are too weak.
Their stupid brains are obviously unable to listen to the dark wisdom from Sea of Darkness.
Kaz'rogal is even more disgusted with the group of demons in front of him. Creatures that like violence and disrespect the truth are really a blasphemy to flesh and blood!
So it raised its left arm, mutating its flesh and blood into a giant black python, sneaking into the shadows and biting the retreating Lord Man'ari hundreds of meters away in an ambush. The painful Greater Demon screamed and was dragged into the shadows by Kaz'rogal's black snake tentacles.
Then, the terrifying sound of chewing bones sounded in the darkness.
"Sister! Calm down!"
Oreses called out to Saloras, who was in a state of ups and downs, on the chaotic city wall.
She knew that Commander Diakum was just "travelling" and not dead. In the past, her sister was always the calmer one and she was impulsive. But now it seems that her feelings for Commander Diakum made her sister quickly abandon her reason when she felt that she might lose her lover.
This is not good!
Saloras turned a deaf ear and only wanted to kill these demons and void monsters. It was because they wanted to invade Draenor that pushed the matter to this point.
Oresus wanted to drag his sister back to the ground, but the thorny darkness had turned into a deadly Void Blade. He did not allow anyone to disturb Saloras's "desperate promotion". Seeing that she was about to lose control, a figure jumped down from the darkness above.
While tearing apart the shadow covering Saloras, he punched Saloras on the chin.
This heavy blow was accurate enough, and the accompanying "personality correction" was perfectly applied as Archbishop of Holy Twilight fell after rolling several times.
Saloras realized that he almost lost control. He raised his head while holding his dislocated chin in his sister's arms, and saw Archbishop Nali shrouded in a sea of Cold Moon, bearing and swaying Wrath of Elune.
Well, she is not close to becoming Night Warrior, but she is already far away from being a normal person.
"Calm down!"
Neri, shrouded in Cold Moon, scolded Saloras:
"Diakum informed us in advance of what he was going to do, so I don't blame you if you can't help us in the difficult time we are going to spend next, but don't make it more difficult! He will come back, he promised us!
I don't want him to see Argus Restoration Army in a mess and Draenor with no hope when he comes back.
Now, put away your weak expression!
You are Diakum's pillow person, behave decently for me."
Saloras nodded, held his chin and rubbed it to straighten his bones, and then stood up with the help of his sister.
However, it is not just the Twin Archbishops who are affected by the inability to sense Diakom's aura. All Lightcasters warriors can feel the pain and discomfort of the emptiness in their hearts due to the departure of their beloved master.
But their relationship with Diakum is not as close as Twins, so they can grit their teeth and continue fighting.
Only one guy seemed to be particularly "severely" affected.
But she is not in Shattrath City, but in Karabor Temple.
Yrel will drag the Ashbringer holy blade that fell from the sky before.
This artifact does not resist her use. It can be looked down upon in almost every direction with the swing of its little hooves. Every time the sword is swung, it will bring up the terrifying Solar Storm, sweeping across the battlefield to incinerate all demons and Void Abomination.
But Yrel couldn't see the persistence in fighting and the expectation of victory on his face.
On the contrary, she frowned, seeming to be thinking about something very important and complicated.
When she finally got the answer on this chaotic battlefield, Yrel also made up her mind. She turned around, threw the Ashbringer holy blade in her hand to Maraad, and warned:
"Don't resurrect me right away!"
"What?!"
Maraad couldn't understand what his deputy company commander was talking about, but Nubodon seemed to understand. He stretched out his hand to hold Yrel.
But the little hooves rushed very quickly.
She rushed into the cold night ahead with her Ashen Apostle holy sword. It was like a golden flame exploding in the dark night, like a golden reef blocking the black turbid current, but in the wash of the turbid current, it flashed away with the most explosive Divine Storm attitude.
"Yrel!"
Maraad Seeing his battle sisters die like this, he was so furious that he wanted to rush over to save them.
Relying on the power given by Grand Lord of Holy Oaths, he could resurrect Yrel within a short period of time after her death. However, at this moment, Yrel's reminder just now made Maraad also fall into deep thought.
Then, he suddenly realized.
He knew why Yrel would do something similar to "suicide" at this time.
This does not mean not cherishing life.
On the contrary, Yrel is using its own way to support Vigilant's actions in another world. Such risky moves can only be attempted by members of Light Weaver Warband.
Nubodon noticed the determination on Maraad's face, he immediately grabbed Great Uncle's wrist and scolded:
"Don't do anything stupid! Even War Authority of Grand Lord of Holy Oaths only has six hours to resurrect you! Once this time is missed, Yrel and you will really be dead! The boundaries of Life and Death are as cold as iron. Even if Vigilant comes back, he will not be able to resurrect you."
"But we must confirm that he really arrived there and did not fall or die. This is very important to Eredar! It is more important than anything to me personally. I have already lost my father once."
Maraad stuffed Ashbringer into Nubodon's hands, grabbed his own war hammer, which was exactly the same as Yrel's, and rushed out. He shouted:
"Six hours! Wait until the last minute to resurrect me and her! We will bring back good news, bless us."
