Chapter 666 Shadowlands claims that destiny is unshakable, but professional destiny opponents feel that it should be loosened.
Diakum feels like a bad guy who takes what others want.
But this is actually an illusion caused by "excessive moral sense".
If there is really a bad guy here, with two Eternal Ones marks in his hand, his evil and cunning thinking is enough to use these two marks as a fulcrum to push the entire Shadowlands into chaos, conquest and destruction in a short period of time.
For the truly bad guys, this is not difficult to do.
Therefore, Diakum's self-evaluation is just a joke.
The most important thing is that when a group of bad people want to get something to do bad things, then Diakum, as the "messenger of justice", collects those important things first. This is undoubtedly a part of maintaining the existing order.
But considering that Shadowlands's so-called "Destiny" is visibly rigid and has developed terrible problems after countless epochs of operation, those "bad guys" want to achieve the collapse of Destiny and the reshaping of order by stripping off the "underlying code", which doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Therefore, Diakum was a little hesitant at this moment.
He wanted to clarify his thoughts, but this did not prevent Nether-Stalker and several Broker Relic Crafter from starting to extract the imprint of the previous Arbiter from the core of the Eternal Arbiter.
The so-called "Eternal Ones mark"
In fact, there is no real power.
That is just the "identity certificate" of the Eternal Oness who are the foundation of Shadowlands, and it is also the legal basis for Four Covenants to maintain "rule" in Shadowlands. This thing naturally comes from the shaping of First Ones who created this country of the Force.
While Broker were busy, Dick was admiring Primus's War Sigil, which was found by Nether-Stalker and Rafaam from the place called "Korthia".
It is not an "entity".
It looks like an illusion formed by cheap optical projection, but it exists independently without being interfered by any external force.
This Primus's Sigil is wrapped with some very special sealing spells, surrounding the mark like a chain so that the information contained inside will not be leaked and cannot be traced.
This is why Nether-Stalker stole the mark of Eternal Ones under the pursuit of Mawsworn, but was still able to hide leisurely in Broker Bazaar.
Primus is the master of Maldraxxus and the incarnation of the concept of "conquest". This sounds a bit bad. After all, in the Material Star Sea, many individuals' great power will be linked to "war", but what makes Primus more powerful than those guys is that "victory" is also the concept of power controlled by Primus!
This guy's past experience can really be praised as "victorious in every battle".
However, Primus has been missing for a long time. For so long, except for the five secret chambers in charge of the power of war where Maldraxxus is holding a knife, no one in Shadowlands has paid attention to his news. Many people think that Primus has fallen in his first and last failure.
But the war undead of Maldraxxus stubbornly believe that their Eternal Ones is still alive. Therefore, once they detect the aura of Primus's Sigil, they will immediately send their most courageous envoys to bring it back.
Diakum analyzed the seals in front of him and gave up after a few minutes.
As a Holy Light bumpkin, you should just work hard and study the principles of other people's mysterious seals. This is obviously not what a paladin should do.
So, Diakum curled his lips and put his five fingers together to hit "Big Brick Flying".
"Bang" sound.
The complex seal that bound the mark was torn apart just like that. This movement startled Nether-Stalker who was dealing with the Arbiter mark. He looked back and said in shock:
"Why did you open it! The war madmen of Maldraxxus will soon be chasing you. This Broker Bazaar is not a combat facility."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Diakum sighed and said:
"How can you get the information Primus left inside without opening it? When you were chasing it, you should have seen the warnings Primus left along the way, right?"
"Yes, we have met."
Seeing Diakum's calm face, completely unafraid of the Maldraxxus pursuers that might appear, Nether-Stalker quickly calmed down after a brief moment of nervousness.
After all, ever since he met Dick, this guy has never been someone who cares about human life.
Even if the war maniacs of Maldraxxus do appear, they will be dispatched by Vigilant on his own. After all, when Shadowlands first entered Shadowlands, Eternal Arbiter stopped the machine with a flying kick. His power that shocked the world has obviously been retained in Shadowlands.
What are you afraid of!
There are tall people who can hold up the sky when it falls, and Nether-Stalker has yet to find anyone taller than Diakum.
Therefore, in the face of Vigilant's inquiry, Nether-Stalker cooperated with Broker Relic Crafter to use exquisite energy resonance to extract the imprint from Arbiter's core, and answered briefly:
"That "Primus" seems to have the habit of keeping a diary and doesn't look like a serious person. In short, when we followed the Broker explorers of the Ai Consortium into the mysterious Korthia, we were triggered to use the information he left along the way.
It feels like a person who knows that he is about to fall into despair, leaving a warning to those who come after him!
He said that he noticed that his "ancient brother" had broken free from the cage and was planning some very terrible things. In order to ensure that these things did not impact Destiny Order of Shadowlands, Primus went to Korthia alone to check.
That ghost place called "Korthia" is located outside the Maw, and is an undiscovered Land of the Dead.
But each country in Shadowlands has its own position in Tianzhu, so Primus firmly believes that the existence of "Korthia" also has its own mysterious symbol in Tianzhu.
He believed that Korthia contained the ambition of Zovaal, but that was also a trap aimed at Him.
After Primus realized that Korthia contained information related to "Sepulcher of the First Ones", he realized that he could no longer escape. Therefore, before Lord of the Maw went there in person, he hid the mysterious and dangerous knowledge together with his mark.
This ensures that the owner of the Maw will never get what he wants."
Diakum nodded.
There is no difference between what Nether-Stalker said and the "plot" in his memory. It seems that the twist of fate he caused in Material World did not affect Shadowlands's destiny.
He stretched out his hand and touched Primus's Sigil, which was unbound by himself. As his fingers wrapped in light and shadow touched the thing, the information stored inside jumped out uncontrollably.
In that shimmering light, the power projection of Primus was formed.
It was a guy dressed like a necromancer, wearing a low-key but cool robe, holding an awesome-looking staff, and with two exaggerated long horns on his head that looked like helmet decorations, but those things grew on his forehead.
He has a gloomy demeanor and looks like a grumpy old man with a white beard.
In this residual image, He vividly interprets the image of a bad old man who finds himself in a desperate situation and is angry, depressed and helpless.
He kept lighting his gorgeous and exaggerated staff and said loudly:
"No matter who you are!
When you see this memory, it means that I have fallen into the hands of Zovaal and have become a miserable prisoner or even worse. I may have been transformed by my former brother into a "war weapon" that he uses to destroy everything.
Don't doubt it!
The "Domination" mastered by Zovaal can suppress other Eternal Ones. You may be wondering why I am so familiar with his trump card?
Because that power was my invention!
I designed it specifically to suppress my arrogant brother who wanted to subvert the destiny, but I underestimated Zovaal's patience and his hatred for First Ones and destiny. He draws terrible power from his hatred.
The power I used to bind Him was manipulated by Him in reverse.
The Maw used to punish the incorrigible has fallen into His hands, and He has forged the most ruthless, crazy and cruel evil souls in the entire world into His army.
The former "Eternal Arbiter" Zovaal has transformed into a terrifying domineering tyrant, but conquest and dominance are not all he desires. He is still planning very terrible things. There is no time to go into details. Remember what I am going to say next!
After the marks of the five Eternal Ones are gathered together, the door to "Zereth Mortis" can be opened! That is a world that does not exist according to any known laws. It does not conform to any physical or metaphysical rules you know.
That's where First Ones used to shape Shadowlands, and that's where First Ones set Destiny Order.
There lies the power that can reshape all reality in your perception!
It can reshape not only Shadowlands, but also Material Star Sea, and can even affect other Force Realm.
Go find the most powerful ally you can find, go to Material World to find it, go to other forces to find it, for the sake of all worlds and all orders we know and we don't know, we must stop Zovaal's ambition!
Ah, here they come
I heard the roar of Zovaal, He came in person!
There is no time, I will hide my mark and this memory here, and the fate of all things will be left in your hands."
War Sigil's message ends here.
There was silence in the entire secret room, and even Rafaam, who was leaning next to him and wiping the "Baby Magic Lamp" he had stolen from somewhere, had his eyes widened.
The message Primus left was a bit too scary.
Does subverting all the known and unknown worlds and all orders sound terrifying, right?
But Vigilant is not surprised.
Hi, I have dealt with this kind of crisis countless times in my "last life".
He quietly observed the expressions of the several Broker Relic Crafter around him. Although these energy bodies with noble status and luxurious clothing could not be said to have expressions at all, Vigilant's possession of Heart Power allowed him to clearly capture the common desires of several Relic Crafter who belonged to different consortiums.
The information about the "First Ones mystery" left by Primus has obviously activated the desire for benefit and power in the hearts of these Relic Crafter.
It's like throwing a key that can open a billion-dollar treasure house in front of a group of guys who are eager to get rich overnight, and expecting them to calmly hand it over to the police is a fool's errand.
Nether-Stalker wanted to say something, but was stopped by Diakum's eyes. Then Vigilant coughed and hid the mark in his powerful spirit body.
He said loudly:
"You have all heard that the fate of the entire Shadowlands and even Material World is at stake. We must find all Eternal Ones marks. At least we must ensure that those marks cannot fall into the hands of Zovaal.
Fortunately, we already have two marks in our hands
Extract the marks of Arbiter as soon as possible, I will personally protect them to ensure that they will not be sent to the hands of the tyrant."
Broker Relic Crafter The people immediately nodded wildly, and then accelerated their work, like a group of nuclear-powered cattle and horses that were fed nuclear waste, and they did not need a whip to make them move.
But at this moment, a female Broker wearing a gorgeous red velvet cloak, escorted by several Broker swordsmen with strong auras, rushed over menacingly.
This lady should be Mistress of Veiled Market, the big businessman So Leah.
She yelled at Nether-Stalker quite angrily:
"I took you and your crazy thief king in for the sake of my fellow villagers. I have already warned you that Broker has its own rules for how to behave in Shadowlands. Don't bring over your style of work at Material World.
My consortium has always maintained a pretty good business relationship with the war lords of Maldraxxus, but I don't know what you did. Just now three War Floating City appeared in the interregional area and blocked us here!
They are not kidding!
Those Ritual Court Lichs are already preparing to bombard this Veiled Market that has no combat capability. For the sake of the lives of the thousands of Broker businessmen here, I want to hand you over now.
Don't resist! Be honest."
"It came so quickly. It is indeed the most combat-effective military group in Shadowlands."
Diakum flicked his tongue, glanced at Nether-Stalker, and gave him a subtle look.
Nether-Stalker understands in seconds.
It stepped forward and pulled the aggressive So-Leah aside, chattering to her about their findings.
A moment later, when Suo Lia looked at the Arbiter's Core that was being processed by the Relic Crafters, the energy sparks on her mask jumped into the form of desire.
"First Ones's treasure house? The power to reshape reality? Hey, this matter involves Eternal Ones. It sounds very risky."
So Lia rubbed her hands and thought.
She said:
"There are five marks in total and we already have two in hand? Ah, there has never been such a wonderful start. Doesn't this mean that the initiative is already in our hands?"
"So, if the ones coming are Ritual Court and Lich, then I can tell you that they are not here to kill us."
Nether-Stalker said softly:
"Because the information Rafaam and I got about Korthia was told to us by a "Baron Lich" who held a high position in Ritual Court.
Vigilant's connections are very exaggerated, So Leah.
You may not be able to understand it, but a noble person like him also has his own friends in Shadowlands, and there are quite a few of them. You see, we are preparing for this exaggerated and extremely beneficial thing. If you plan to join us, you must act according to our rhythm.
I know that some Broker Cartel of Shadowlands are also pursuing the secret of First Ones. You are responsible for gathering those guys together.
Vigilant needs the wisdom of our fellow citizens."
"Are you sure those Lich and their exaggerated constructs Warrior won't start a massacre here when they land on my market?"
After a while, the big businessman So Leah lowered her Veiled Market defensive shield. She was holding an artifact for self-protection and said suspiciously:
"The process of establishing So Cartel in Shadowlands from scratch was not easy. I also hope to become a new Node Prince through my business development in Shadowlands.
I'm warning you, Nether-Stalker.
If your Lich friends plan to destroy my floating island city, I will not sit still and wait for death. The artifact in my hand that is said to be from First Ones is enough to protect my sacred property."
"You'd better not expect to actually use it."
Diakum stood aside and looked on coldly, reminding the wealthy Broker:
"Even if I am not proficient in the secret knowledge of First Ones, I can still see that the way you use it is completely wrong! In addition, I heard that you found this artifact fragment in Azeroth, right?"
"This is a trade secret! I can't speak frankly."
Suo Liya glanced at Vigilant warily.
Then she scratched her mask, feeling that it was not polite to treat a noble person so harshly, so she whispered again:
"Okay, I can tell you a little bit. This artifact and the powerful Titan Watcher are both trophies of the notorious time and space thief and Infinite Dragonflight pirate queen "Hooktail".
The Infinite Dragonflight remnants found this dangerous First Ones treasure from some unknown time period in Azeroth, and I used an outstanding "wealth transfer" to snatch it away.
We call this the "secondary distribution of wealth."
And who do you think they find these dangerous things to deal with?
Oh, I am the heroic businessman who secretly saved Azeroth, but my So Cartel has always been light on fame and fortune."
She proudly boasted about her successful robbery, completely losing her vigilance just now.
Watching this scene, Nether-Stalker shook his head helplessly.
Vigilant's use of "Heart Power" became more and more superb, and his poor compatriots were toyed with and applauded by him.
Soon, the three psychic Floating City who surrounded Veiled Market established contact with Broker City. In the light of Teleportation Spell, several well-dressed Lich appeared here.
So Lea quickly recognized their leader, and she exclaimed exaggeratedly:
"Oh my god, Lord Margrave Sin'dane! Your presence makes my city shine."
Diakum strode forward, stretched out his hand to Lich, who was floating towards him, and greeted:
"Long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see, Diakum Dick."
Astral Mage Medivh, or "Baron Lich" Medivh held Vigilant's hand with his cold bone claws and said softly:
"Thank you for taking care of my mother during this time. I guess your arrival means that I, a wanderer from afar, will be returning home?"
