Chapter 668 The Supreme Queen who claims to get back her dignity for World Mother is unparalleled at the Maw
The core with the mark of Eternal Arbiter was stolen by Broker's Relic Crafter.
This incident did not surprise Diakum. In fact, if he really wanted to keep that thing, he would not have put that thing together with Broker when he went to pick up Medivh just now.
Who would put a priceless treasure together with a group of businessmen who would do anything for profit?
This group of Broker are the same as their Ethereal compatriots in Material World, but they are all time-tested capitalist Warrior, okay?
It is better to expect these guys to believe in truth, goodness and beauty than to expect Sargeras to repent overnight, give up Burning Crusade tomorrow, lead Burning Legion into Sea of Darkness, and kill Eclipse Sect Void Lord to the ground.
At least, there is a chance that Sargeras might do this, but Brokers will never become "Partner of Justice" or "loved Warrior".
But although this sentence is a bit vulgar, it is all within Vigilant's plan.
He, Medivh and Nether-Stalker have come to a rough conclusion by analyzing the Eternal Ones mark left by Primus on Korthia.
Lord of the Maw Zovaal is just the big villain that Shadowlands seems to be, but there is also a big conspirator and a "Blackhand behind the scenes" in this ghost place.
So, apart from the silly Eldest Daughter and the careless Winter Queen among the five Eternal Ones of Shadowlands, the other three are really useful, and the important thing is, Eldest Daughter just looks silly and sweet, and Winter Queen's "nothing matters" is based on the fact that Life and Death and Great Cycle are really powerless when they are interfered with.
Therefore, it is really unfair to say that the five Eternal Oness of Shadowlands are not powerful.
Perhaps in terms of absolute strength, these five guys combined are not enough to beat Sargeras. It is estimated that the complete Zovaal can touch Sargeras, which is the level of "die if you try" and "break in one touch". However, the five Eternal Ones have indeed done what they should do in their super high status.
The reason why it seems ineffective is because all five Eternal Ones are trapped by "Destiny".
The complex "Perfect Order" created by First Ones that combines "casteism", "fatalism" and "nihilism" is really hard to complain about.
Even a hero like Sargeras can't even think of unleashing his immense abilities after being harnessed by this thing the moment he was born.
"With "System of Destiny" standing, even if Zovaal formed a Yuansworn army in the Maw that could cleanse Material Star Sea, it would not be able to do anything else.
Only when Great Cycle, which is the foundation of Shadowlands and Life and Death's destiny, is completely defeated, can the power accumulated by Shadowlands over the past countless years begin to interfere with the Material Star Sea.
The fact that they have done nothing in the past countless years is not because they don't want to, but because they cannot."
Medivh handed the unfinished Rune Sword worn on his waist to Diakum. Vigilant took it and admired Primus's craftsmanship while listening to Medivh's insights after living in Shadowlands during this period.
Astral Mage said in a casual tone:
"System of Destiny, which has had many problems since its birth, is already crumbling. As the "Anima Ranch", Revendreth has provided less and less anima to other countries in recent years. The Sire Denathrius claimed that he was powerless to do so.
But we all know that it was a "man-made famine" promoted by Him.
Now, this crisis of lack of anima has affected every member of Four Covenants, and the huge intercepted anima has been sent to his collaborators, allowing Zovaal to enjoy abundant resources to continuously refine and improve his death warriors to perfection.
That's the seed of crisis.
It has grown over time and has laid the foundation for disaster.
When you arrive at Shadowlands with an exaggerated attitude and attack Eternal Arbiter until it stops, the famine caused by the lack of anima will turn into a bomb and explode.
Even standing here, I can hear that the rigid order that has existed since the birth of Shadowlands is accelerating the disintegration.
When Arbiter is unable to perform its duties, those souls who enter Shadowlands every minute and second cannot accept arbitration and go where they should go, and can only fall into the Maw.
Regardless of good or evil, regardless of position, regardless of camp.
All souls who step into Shadowlands are forced to enter the Maw and become a member of the Zovaal army. The Warriors who rule the tyrant have already unsheathed their swords and strung their bows. Now He is only waiting for the moment when Great Cycle collapses."
Having said this, Medivh smiled, looked at Diakum, and said:
"But launching a "death conquest" was not Zovaal the One's choice. Looking at the experience of the "former Arbiter", it is not difficult to find that he is actually an "idealist" that is very rare in this era.
Although other Eternal Ones and those Attendant of the Gods who believed in destiny destroyed all information about Zovaal, we have to be thankful that Primus is a leader who respects knowledge.
He keeps every single copy in his secret tower, allowing me, a passing outsider, to have a glimpse of Zovaal's mental journey and his "tragic" resistance.
Zovaal used to be Arbiter, but now the power of Oribos's ridiculous arbitration machine is less than one thousandth of its power.
It was a "perfect" era, and all souls who entered Shadowlands would be arbitrated by Zovaal on terms that conformed to the destiny standards set by First Ones.
At that time, Shadowlands was not just Four Covenants.
Destiny is a complex system. Each country in Shadowlands has its own responsibilities. Each country is a screw in this huge system. How many worlds of the dead are there in Shadowlands's interrealm?
Countless!
Four Covenants is only the most powerful among them, but it is not the One's. At that time, every dead world in Shadowlands was prosperous, but after Zovaal's resistance failed, Four Covenants rose like that, directly triggering the decline of other countries.
First Ones and System of Destiny had cracks at that time.
Well, this matter is too complicated to talk about, so let's focus on the deplorable life of Zovaal."
Medivh smiled, and he snapped his cold bony fingers, signaling his partner to describe the descriptions in the book Primus left behind.
This is Astral Mage's habit.
He doesn't much like to retell other people's conclusions; he prefers to express his own thoughts.
But Margrave Sin'dane doesn't have any special feelings about this matter, and he doesn't mind speaking up for his friends (zhu) and friends (ren).
She cast a mysterious magic to take out an ancient book from the hidden tower of Primus, then unfolded the book, cleared her throat, and described it in her cold and unique voice:
"Zovaal has witnessed the lives of countless mortals. He should not be affected by the thoughts of these miserable ants, but the accumulation of countless dust eventually became a mountain that cannot be ignored.
I don't know since when, Zovaal's mentality has undergone subtle changes.
My ancient brothers began to believe that First Ones had told everyone a big lie, and Zovaal realized that the past, present and future of mortals were not determined by their own choices, but by the whims of invisible fate and external circumstances.
Zovaal also saw similar so-called "freedom" and "control" wars being staged again and again for thousands of years, but no matter which position the mortals stood on, all these efforts were in vain.
Because in the words of Zovaal, the ideas of anyone who truly has "free will" are just based on the design of System of Destiny set by First Ones.
Even under this system, "free will" itself is a false proposition.
Zovaal realized that as Eternal Ones, he could not actually have "freedom", he could not contact or even pursue it. Therefore, even if Zovaal did not really understand the meaning of "freedom", after convincing himself countless times, my ancient brother still embarked on the road of no return.
He secretly stole the marks of other Eternal Ones, tried to violate First Ones's laws, and tried to return to the place where Eternal Ones and Shadowlands were born.
He is trying to get back into Sepulcher of the First Ones of Zereth Mortis.
As if he was fascinated, He firmly believed that there existed the great power left by First Ones to reshape all reality."
Margrave Sin'dane paused and observed the expressions of the audience, then turned to the next page of the "Primus Diary" and said:
"Zovaal's plan has been exposed!
This is normal.
He was designed by First Ones to be a selfless Arbiter. He is not the cunning Denathrius. He simply cannot understand how the "conspiracy" should work.
In fact, he was discovered the moment he tried to steal the Eldest Daughter mark.
He is the most powerful among us, but unfortunately, even the powerful Zovaal cannot defeat me who is in charge of the power of war in the field of "war".
He lost!
On the platform where He once judged all sentient beings, we judged Zoval with sorrow.
Eldest Daughter Kyrestia announced that he had betrayed his duty as the arbitrator. She took away Zovaal's Eternal Ones power for the crime of "malfeasance", took out his heart, and left him permanently weakened.
Winter Queen announced that he threatened the entire cycle of life and death. She took away Zovaal's Life Force for the crime of "destroying Great Cycle", turning him into a bald and desolate giant who could no longer enjoy all the reason and emotions that Eternal Ones should have.
The cunning Sire Denathrius vaguely told Zovaal that He may have a great goal, but chose a sad way to achieve it.
The "vampire" also taunted Zovaal, saying that if he could find suitable "allies" before taking action, great things might be possible.
I once thought that Denathrius was also going to embark on the road of betrayal, but that guy still used the power of pardon to declare that Zovaal had committed the crime of "blind action".
He inflicted the pain of punishment on Zovaal, making him endure endless pain every day he spent in the Maw, so that his powerful flow of anima could nourish Shadowlands who was hurt by him.
me
I am the last Judgment and his Eternal Ones. I still can't forget that day.
When I asked him the reason for his betrayal, Zovaal raised his head. He was suffering endless pain, his heart was dug out, and his face was as pale as a "ghost".
But He still answered firmly:
We Eternal Ones are just protecting a world that is doomed to fail!
I can't understand what Zovaal saw or who he heard from, but I am certain that this guy was not just driven by his own passion to betray the order of destiny.
He must have seen something we can't understand
But no matter what, betrayal is an unforgivable sin. As the person in charge of war, I must create a prison for Zovaal that he cannot escape from.
I decided to design a tall tower with countless corridors as his cage. I also wanted to research a powerful force that could counter Zovaal's power, preferably one that could perfectly suppress Zovaal's rebellious heart.
I decided to call the tower "Torghast, Tower of the Damned", and I decided to call the power that would be used to bind Zovaal "Domination".
Alas, may my ancient brother rest in peace"
This ends Primus's diary.
But Margrave Sin'dane turned to the last page, as if showing some "surprise", she picked at the stains on the last page of the diary with her fingers, and said softly:
"No, he is right. This system is far from perfect."
"This last sentence was written by Primus before heading to Korthia alone."
Medivh said softly:
"Just from this sentence, we can get a glimpse of the complicated and difficult mental journey of our noble Eternal Ones. There is no doubt that Primus designed all of this! As he teased Zovaal, Zovaal cannot understand how to execute the conspiracy, but Primus is a true master in this field.
Three of the five Eternal Ones are planning to personally destroy the so-called "destiny" in different ways.
Of the remaining two, one has been in ruins for countless years, and the other is trapped in family conflicts with his sister and cannot extricate himself. Therefore, I concluded very early that the collapse of Tianming was only a matter of time, and your arrival has accelerated it.
I hope Material World is ready.
I hope that all the living and the princes of the Burning Legion and Sea of Darkness are ready.
The death that has been restricted by First Ones since birth
It's time to come out of the cage."
In the silence that could hear a pin drop, Diakum's fingers brushed against this exquisite Rune Sword.
This thing doesn't have a hilt yet, but it seems to be the prototype of a real magical weapon.
Considering that Diakum came to Shadowlands this time, he did not bring Ashbringer and left both Twilight Hammer and Soul-Reaping War Scythe to his followers. He also needed a suitable weapon, so he "reasonably requisitioned" this sword.
He said:
"I'm not here to prevent death from coming out. I don't even plan to destroy "System of Destiny" with my own hands. I'm here to restart Great Cycle of Life and Death. Although this thing and destiny overlap, they are two concepts.
Therefore, when the shackles are broken, let them be broken, and when death is released, let it be released.
I'm not worried about the Mawsworn army kicking horizontally and vertically at the Material Star Sea. That's meaningless. Pure violence can't conquer Material Star Sea. The dead can't even get past the Burning Legion level.
After all, the strongest among them is no match for Sargeras.
What really matters is Zovaal's actions.
I can't allow him to mess around in Zereth Mortis. He is an idealist but made the same stupid mistake as First Ones.
I always want to use my own wisdom to create a so-called "Perfect Order".
Hum, Titan, who are more powerful and freer than Eternal Ones, have also thought about it and done it before, but what is their ending?
Perfect order cannot be given, it can only evolve by itself on a reasonable basis."
"So, we're going to Zereth Mortis, right?"
Medivh clapped his hands and said:
"I like this idea, and as a seeker of truth, I would die without being able to get a glimpse into the mystery of First Ones. But how do we get past this? Are we going to cooperate with those assholes who are trying to get a "right answer" the wrong way?"
"How can Warrior of Light cooperate with evil people?"
Diakum curled his lips and said:
"I'll get the mark, and you go recruit an army! After I finish some personal matters, we will go to the Maw and complete a battle with "Idealist" Zovaal.
By the way, how is our "Queen" doing lately?"
"She was having such a great time."
Medivh sighed and said:
"This week alone, our Majesty has been "unparalleled" in Torghast, Tower of the Damned three times. I heard that she is fascinated by the mystery of Anima Orb and needs a lot of "research materials."
In that ghost place the Maw, is there a more perfect place to collect materials than Torghast, Tower of the Damned?"
"This"
Dick was embarrassed, and he asked:
"the Jailer just ignores it? Let Azshara come and go freely in his territory?"
"You took care of it, why didn't you take care of it?"
Medivh shrugged and sarcastically said in Lich's sinister tone:
"the Jailer sent his most powerful Warrior to stop and hunt Azshara. Do you know what their outcome will be?"
Dick shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Medivh said with a smile:
"I don't know either.
But Azshara is still active, and is becoming more and more "rampant". Therefore, we can tentatively conclude that it is just like the queen demolished half of Sire Denathrius's palace, but Eternal Ones could only throw it away the Maw.
Zovaal There is no good way to get Azeroth's daughter.
Therefore, when it comes to confronting Zovaal, I don't think you need to take action. Give Azshara some time, and she will be happy to help us complete this matter "for free".
In addition, Zereth Mortis also has to leave a seat for her in her journey.
If you don't want to anger her."
