Chapter 693 61. Old Bwonsamdi's screams in the dark room are so sweet.
The tragic story of Anzu and Rukhmar finally got a fairly perfect ending with the intervention of the tangible "big hand of Holy Light".
After Ms. Elune persuaded Winter Queen to restart Soulseed Garden, these two loving guys may really become the first batch to return to Material World's Wild God, their reappearance indicates that Life and Death's Great Cycle is about to enter a new stage, and also indicates the bankruptcy of a certain conspirator who is involved in life and death out of control.
But to be honest, this reconciliation came a little late.
At present, the balance of power between life and death has been obviously imbalanced, and from Anzu's previous words, we can know that Zovaal's Mawsworn army has a complete invasion plan for Material World.
They have put this matter on the agenda, which means that it is only a matter of time before Veil of Life and Death is finally shattered.
However, "conquer by force" is only the Jailer's backup method. As the first Eternal Ones to jump up to resist the First Ones order, Zovaal is somewhat "idealistic". His real plan lies in how to seize the power of Zereth Mortis and reshape the real order in Shadowlands.
In that way, a "brave new world" can be built without the need for military conquest.
For Diakum, he must not only stop the Jailer's "great plan" in Zereth Mortis, but also must prepare for the invasion of the Material Star Sea by the Yuansworn army after Veil of Life and Death is shattered.
Otherwise, when these "death ribs" really join the already lively "Xinghai Chaos", it's hard to say what the consequences will be.
It's hard to say who will win or lose in the battle between the Yuansworn army and Burning Legion in the star sea, but they have already suffered from demons and have one more "Daddy Death" on the heads of the beings in the star sea on the edge of hell. Then everyone will no longer live.
And if the situation is really that bad, then even if Diakum is unwilling, he will have to use his last resort.
Let the swarm devour everything.
Wow, such a sea of stars is really exciting when I think about it.
You see, there is the big golden guy; Space Greenskins, there is it; Khorne demon, there is it; Cunning Void, there is it; Death Ribs, there is it; Devourer Swarm, there is it.
Damn it, where did you do this for me?
Is this still Azeroth?
Hurry up and give me back the wonderful Old World of three days of minor disasters, five days of major disasters, and the collapse of the world over the weekend!
Dick shook his head, throwing this terrible future out of his mind, and then drove Reindeer through the forest of Ardenweald. When he arrived at the nearest mushroom ring teleportation point, Old Mushroom Head Marasmius was already waiting for him here.
"Let me remind you, your power is too strong, so if you want to sneak in without alerting Mueh'zala, who is currently controlling the Other Side, you must first capture the energy fluctuations on your body."
Old Mushroom Head emphasized:
"You have to suppress it! Otherwise, Lao Mo, I won't be able to accurately send you to the place where Bwonsamdi is imprisoned. In addition, when Lao Mo just ran to investigate, he accidentally discovered that Mueh'zala was receiving "guests" in Bwonsamdi's the Other Side."
"Ah?"
Diakum jumped off Reindeer, snapped his fingers, and made his cool sword Reindeer disappear in the light. While suppressing his power, he asked:
"Guest? Guest from where? Who can arrive at the Other Side quietly under the surveillance of Winter Queen?"
"Lao Mo doesn't know. The place where they were talking is still a little far away from Lao Mo's mushroom ring. Lao Mo just heard different voices. Counting Mueh'zala, there are at least three people."
Old Mushroom Head reminded seriously:
"But considering Mueh'zala's status under the Jailer, there are not too many people in Shadowlands that it can personally greet. Therefore, you must be careful this time.
Lao Mo believes that it is not a problem for you to suppress Mueh'zala with your strength, but this is Land of the Dead after all. Your Holy Light will be interfered here, and the power of Mueh'zala will be enhanced. Therefore, it is best to use resourcefulness to win. If it doesn't work, don't act recklessly.
Lao Mou will leave a "door" for you in the mushroom ring. If an accident occurs, retreat immediately!
Ardenweald is the queen's territory.
Here the queen may encounter powerful enemies that she cannot defeat, but she will definitely protect you from being harmed."
"Hmm."
Dick nodded.
Although I didn't think I would need such help, I still restrained myself and thanked Winter Queen for his protection, and then stepped into the mushroom ring.
This time the transmission was different from before. In order to ensure the secrecy of the transmission, Old Mushroom Head deliberately slowed down the transmission speed, making Diakum feel like he had entered a cold and damp pipe and followed the pipe all the way up.
After passing through a maze-like area, I was finally "vomited" out by the mushroom ring with a bang.
Diakum gritted his teeth, this teleportation experience was terrible in every sense of the word.
Maybe Old Mushroom Head came in through the Other Side's sewer, so are you, Bwonsamdi, sick? When Shadowlands has made a lair for himself, and there are a group of Undead, what kind of sewer are you doing?
What?
Does your Undead still have excretion needs?
"Oh, that's because the sewer system was installed when mummies were doing mummies and the waste liquid needed to be discharged at any time.
Old Bwonsamdi originally wanted to discharge the waste liquid directly into Ardenweald's lake, but Winter Queen sent someone to warn me that if I dared to discharge even a drop of wastewater into her lake, my head would be taken away.
Alas, the old Bwonsamdi was miserable. In Ardenweald, even the status of the dog in the Queen's family is not as good as that of one."
Just when Diakum was complaining, a familiar mean voice sounded from beside him, with a hint of weakness and joy.
Dick turned around and saw that Bwonsamdi was now like the hamster in the cage, clinging pitifully to the black railings, sticking his thin and bone-mask-wearing head out from between the railings, and sticking out his long blood-colored tongue. The perfect Cos hanger was trying to scare a passing Warrior of Light to death.
There was a kind of grinning light shining in the eye sockets of its skull, and it said in a strange way:
"Ah, great Vigilant, months after old Bwonsamdi sent out a warning for help, you have finally arrived. Should I kneel down here and thank you for taking the time to save my life despite your busy schedule?"
"Stop complaining, you don't understand the price I paid to save you."
Dick waved his hand and said:
"But it's okay from the looks of you. I'm actually prepared to see the miserable sight of you being cut into pieces of dried bacon by Mueh'zala after entering the Other Side.
I even made an appointment for you to have a suturing surgery at Maldraxxus at Construct Sanctum, but it seems you don't need this service.
Apart from being a little weak, I was basically not tortured."
"Huh, old Bwonsamdi, in order to avoid suffering, when my terrible father appeared, I knelt down decisively."
Trolls Death complained:
"Why insist on gritting your teeth and dying heroically for love and justice is not the style of old Bwonsamdi!
I gave up the "Troll Paradise" that I worked so hard to build to the cruel old guy, and even knelt down to lick its smelly feet. This allowed me to escape. The most important thing is that Mueh'zala needs me.
I still think it has some use value.
It and its mad collaborators want to do terrible things, and every death is the partner they need. You see, it's not just me, Helya has been with them a long time ago.
Even though old Bwonsamdi is kneeling down in order to survive, I am already a "strong person" who persists until the last moment. All the gods of death in this sea of stars have long been their servants."
Speaking of this, Bwonsamdi sighed and said:
"I'm scared. To tell you the truth, I'm really scared of the shiny golden Vigilant!
After I knew what Mueh'zala and the Jailer wanted to do, I kept thinking about jumping ship.
I am a coward, and there is no way I can see any glory and power in the great achievements they promise. If this is really done by the Jailer, a star that falls into death but will never die, my scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
So, what are you still doing?"
Bwonsamdi, who revealed his inner weakness, urged:
"I knelt down very thoroughly, offering my the Other Side as Mueh'zala's base of operations in Ardenweald, and letting it hide the Jailer's servants here, so there will be no death disaster for a while, but you can't waste any more time.
I want to tell you a secret, Lich King!
You know right?
The Crown of Domination on the head of that miserable and lowly Green Skins is the "bomb" used by the Jailer to crush Veil of Life and Death! They originally asked Nathrezim to bring that thing to the Material Star Sea, and they had no good intentions in deceiving Burning Legion into cooperating with them.
I hope you have killed Lich King before coming to Shadowlands, otherwise things will be very troublesome."
Under Bwonsamdi's expectant gaze, Diakum shrugged and said:
"No, I didn't do that. I could have done that, but I didn't. I let Lich King go and let the guy think it escaped.
Crown of Domination is still on Lich King's head, and I have no intention of commanding Holy Light's warriors to attack its fortress.
It makes no sense."
Vigilant looked at the surrounding environment and whispered:
"The fragmentation of Veil of Life and Death is unstoppable. The army of Mawsworn has already been formed, so we must find an opportunity to eliminate them instead of continuing to seal them in the Maw. That army will be awakened sooner or later, so it is better to let them be used by us when we can control the situation.
No need to exaggerate fear, Bwonsamdi.
I know you are scared, but don't worry, if the sky falls, a tall man like me will be able to hold it up."
"Uh."
Bwonsamdi hesitated for a moment.
In the end, it made no further comment. Although I don't know where Diakum's confidence comes from, this guy does have a plan in mind.
Now that I have been reduced to living in a dog cage, I really don't have the energy to think about anything else.
"Did you have any backup plans?"
Diakum reached out and grabbed the lock of Bwonsamdi's dog cage, crushing it with his fingers. When Bwonsamdi shrank his neck and pulled his head back from the railing, then stretched his body and climbed out of the dog cage, Vigilant asked:
"I don't plan to let Mueh'zala return to the Maw. This guy has caused too much trouble. It's rare that this is in your territory. Don't tell me that you didn't prepare in advance for this "father is kind and son is filial" when you established the Other Side?
Even I know that you have a very bad relationship with your adoptive father.
If a bad guy like you is unprepared, as a rescuer, I will be really disappointed."
"Be prepared. There must be one!"
Bwonsamdi twitched his dirty face and said with a sad face:
"But I can't guarantee that the magic totems used to imprison and seal will be effective. Mueh'zala found a very generous collaborator, and the Jailer gave it too much of the Maw's anima.
It's like the trap originally set for Stranglethorn Vale Tiger is now used to trap Xue Nu.
Although they are all Tiger
But the two are obviously not the same concept."
"Just be prepared."
Diakum patted Bwonsamdi on the shoulder and said:
"You go and prepare your back-up, I'll bring it in, what about Xue Nu? When Yu'lon the Jade Serpent is beaten to death, its resistance will not be stronger than Stranglethorn Vale Tiger. Thunderlord Clan has already shown us how to tame Four Celestials.
I just need your backhand to trap Mueh'zala!
I'll be responsible for things like head-on combat."
"Hey, how could you say that our Mr. Dick is strong and tough! What I want to hear is that you are so confident when you are not afraid of dangers. It is really as magnificent as the sun shining on all living beings. Ah, my eyes are almost blind.
It was your light of justice that blinded this old loser like me."
Bwonsamdi, who was still frowning at first, suddenly became happy when he heard this. He raised his thumbs up and frantically licked Dick's eyes and called him. Then he limped away to prepare to activate the trap, but before leaving, he turned around and rubbed his hands and said:
"Let me state in advance that I am not greedy, I just belong to Mueh'zala's magic spirit."
"I'm not Trolls, and I don't have the habit of using disgusting magic spirits, even Lesser God's magic spirits. That's a god of death. Why would I, a passing Warrior of Light, want its magic spirits?
Can you drink it as protein powder mixed with water?"
Dick rolled his eyes and said:
"And that is your father. After the unfortunate death of Mr. Mueh'zala, it is reasonable and legal for you to inherit his property, reputation and power according to the rules of all good people. Therefore, if you are willing to become Partner of Justice in this intensifying conflict, I can even ensure that you will get all the treasures of Mueh'zala."
"This is what you said! I wrote it down, don't deny it in the future!"
At this moment, the old Bwonsamdi still looked as weak as before. Under the temptation of the huge benefits, it instantly became lively and vigorous. He took out a Saviors imitation badge from nowhere, put it on his chest, coughed in a pretentious manner, and said loudly:
"To be honest, I am Bwonsamdi. I have been Partner of Justice for a long time!"
"The emperor's needs are so great. I have already said hello to Maldraxxus. Margrave Sin'dane is a very enthusiastic Lord Lich. She is very happy to give the emperor a favor in this kind of assistance.
She readily gave us the making method of the most advanced Lich transformation phylactery."
Just as Diakum and Bwonsamdi, the pair "Partner of Justice", were preparing to activate the trap to kill Mueh'zala, in the main hall of the Other Side, the oldest and most powerful Loa was talking to his guests.
The "Emperor's Special Envoy" Sarkir, who is wearing a Venthyr traditional absolution robe and carrying a bright red tower staff decorated with sin candles, is making his own request to Mueh'zala.
It said in a gentle tone to the ancient God of Death who had shrunk his body in front of him:
"The emperor needs a container that can perfectly accommodate the concept of "Life and Death" as the base material of the phylactery. Such materials are difficult to find, but there should be a lot of them in Ardenweald. Considering that you are extremely powerful here, I asked you for it.
Powerful Mueh'zala, please help my master solve his problems."
"Haha, Life and Death's container?"
Mueh'zala is an old Trolls.
Its appearance is the same as Bwonsamdi, which is a traditional Trolls, even more traditional than Bwonsamdi. This guy doesn't wear a shirt, just wears a grass skirt around his waist, looking like an "original" Trolls.
With a head full of white hair and an amazing amount of hair, he looks very healthy at first glance.
Lothar real name envy.
The guy let out a deep laugh and said:
"It seems that the emperor's ambition is not small. While ruling death, he also plans to spread the royal power to the territory of life, but what should I say? It is a comfortable thing to cooperate with such an ambitious person.
There are indeed a lot of "containers", and few people know the secret of Winter Queen.
When she was shaping Ardenweald, she felt that the place was too quiet and needed some hustle and bustle of life, so she poured the concept of life into the container of death, giving some creatures here the rare property of "the same origin of life and death."
Goblin!
Yes, those noisy and stupid goblins, they are the perfect vessels that the emperor needs.
Just grab one!
It's very simple. Goblins will always fall into various traps because of their Recklessness.
I am also happy to offer a little help to the emperor, but I am very curious. As Eternal Ones under the destiny, the emperor is already Shadowlands's leading great existence. Why does he suddenly need a phylactery?
It sounds like the Emperor has foreseen the approaching danger?"
"This"
Prince Renathal next to Sarkir was about to explain when he suddenly heard a terrifying roar from the Other Side, and then the temperature of the entire the Other Side began to soar rapidly.
The prince of Venthyr immediately drew out his sword, but was held down by Sarkir's hand.
It smiled and said to Mueh'zala, whose face changed slightly:
"The emperor did foresee the danger coming, but at present, it seems that the "danger" came to you first. A visit from Light Butcher often means the destruction of evil. Considering that the path we are traveling is completely opposite to that of Holy Light, we are the "evil" in his eyes.
Be careful, sir.
The prince and I are waiting here and wish you a victorious return."
PS:
Mueh'zala, who was most likely the largest BOSS before Devourer of Worlds, is as follows:
