(Additional update for "Sakurababy" brothers [3/5])
Dick feels like he is melting.
This was the first time he had felt like this since he woke up. It was as if he had been thrown into a high-temperature forge of tens of thousands of degrees, and was constantly being beaten and tempered. His flesh, flesh and will were also being tested by the flames.
The reason is simple. At this time, he has ignited all the holy power he had accumulated for more than 20,000 years.
After crossing the limit of "sanctification", he pushed himself into the extreme state of "Demigod-Critical" for the first time. In that painful intertwining, Dick truly felt "powerful", and it seemed that he had returned to the moment when he was empowered by Star Soul of Argus and became omnipotent.
But that's just an illusion!
He cannot maintain this peak state for a long time. Without the care of Star Soul, his mortal body cannot control such a huge power.
"Come on, Kara, welcome your destiny, return to the arms of Holy Light, and return to your family!"
In the roar of suppressed pain, Vigilant, who had pushed Holy Power Burning to the extreme, held the Eye of the Storm diamond in his hand, and used a classic pose of "Kamehameha" to hit his boiling Holy Light without reservation at the Void Gods spirit above his head, which was suspended in the air due to everyone's efforts.
The high-temperature milky white Holy Light crossed the distance between the two the moment it took action, and struck Void Power with such a brilliance that it blinded the dog's eyes.
Kara even neighed in terror at this moment.
Ner'zhul said that Dark Star has his own consciousness. More than two hundred years of contact with Void Force may have distorted the mind of Naaru, making him fear the scorching light in front of him that is no different from Sunfire.
But it couldn't dodge. The magic bombardment from Draenei Arcane Mage tried their best to restrain it in the air, so it could only endure this heavy blow.
The thick layer of void light flow on Dark Naaru's body is like a shield, resisting the scorching Holy Light so that this "dangerous" power will not merge into Void Gods However, the destructive power poured out by the holy power accumulated for more than 20,000 years has reached the standard "Full Power Demigod Strike", causing Kara's void shield to make a muffled sound like broken glass after two seconds.
Cracks in the light were bursting out, forcing Kara to withdraw the Void Energy storms that were bombarding the city shield around him, and focus on resisting the attack of this burning light.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
As time passed by, Dick felt that the burning heat that burned him was fading away.
On the Character Card in front of him, the capacity of his excessively accumulated Radiant Energy Pool is rapidly declining, but he has not yet penetrated Kara's void shield. He must This shield must be shattered and Kara's counterattack must be defeated to give Velen and Priest an opportunity to purify Naaru.
Dick gritted his teeth and endured the pressure as if his body was collapsing. When his flesh and blood transformed into a wonderful crystal form, he fired out all the remaining energy in Holy Power Pool.
From Kara's perspective, the already scorching light beam suddenly doubled in size at this moment, and the moment it shattered the void shield, the scorching light poured into itself. The collision of the forces of Void Power and Holy Light created an energy spark visible to the naked eye in an instant, and its accompanying impact was like a detonation bomb falling on Karabor Temple.
The weaker people on Grand Proclamation Platform were even knocked away directly, and the stone pillars Arcane Mage were on were shattered one by one in the collision of demigod-level energy.
When Diakum the Saint's stunning golden emblem light dissipated, when everyone looked up, they saw that the shadow had been dispelled from the corner of the mournful Dark Naaru's body, as if the coat of the void had been torn open to reveal a crystal body that was not very bright but was already pure.
However, Void has no intention of just giving up the dark Entropius that was finally captured.
Just for a moment, the corner of the body purified by Dick began to be covered with dark light again.
Dark Kara sensed the threat and started to fight back!
From the darkness Entropius's destruction and tearing of the mortal spirit, the invisible Mind Storm exploded and swept across Grand Proclamation Platform. The eyes of those Arcane Mage who were in weakness were blurred. They heard the corrupted voices of Sea of Darkness, and those voices were calling them to embrace the truth to gain strength.
"Quiet!"
The Staff of the Redeemer in Velen's hand hit the ground and turned into a waterfall that flew outward to disperse the hateful and overwhelming sound. However, the darkness Mind Storm that tore apart the soul continued, and some injured people had already fallen to death with their spirits broken.
Great Prophet looked at Diakum who was half-kneeling on the ground, his whole body surrounded by high-temperature air currents, and he was panting.
He knew that Vigilant had completed his duties, and now it was their turn to take over the important task of purifying Naaru. But just when Velen was about to step forward to complete the purification, he saw Vigilant tremblingly stretching out his hand.
It seemed to be stopping him, but also seemed to be calling for something.
"Holy Light ah!"
He said softly:
"As you can see, the moment of destiny has arrived! The door to Annihilation tragedy and violent hell has been opened. Neither of the two roads is what I want. Please help me open up a third road to a more noble future!
I call you!
I call upon the power that can turn my destiny around!
Right here, right now! The time has come to fulfill your vow!"
"Boom"
The bright golden light pillar fell from the sky at Dick's call, shrouding him in it.
Those boiling and cheering Holy Light poured into the weak Vigilant in a gesture of embracing return, making his dried-up Holy Power Pool miraculously refill at this moment, allowing him to stand up again in the infusion of glory.
This scene made the young Draenei Garrison Commander shout for a miracle, but it was not the first time for Ancient Eredar like Velen, Ishana and Neri to see this kind of scene.
They remember clearly that during the decisive battle on Mac'Aree more than 20,000 years ago, Diakum also called Holy Light once. He prayed for strength in the name of fate and received an unparalleled glorious response.
This time, this moment!
Draenei Clan and Draenor The world is already in the destiny of the Crossroads. The choice tonight will reshape the direction of tragic history. The moment of destiny has arrived!
[Decision of Destiny] is activated!
Holy Light Morality: Hand of Fate has been strengthened!
The additional blessing of individual holy power is completed!
Radiant Energy Pool temporarily expands the current limit that an individual can bear, and the recovery speed of holy power is temporarily increased to ∞.
In the Holy Power Burning state, the individual strength is temporarily increased to "Demigod-Lower Rank-Holy Light Force".
Tip!
After the enhancement of Destiny Choice ends, you will enter a "weak state". The current burning speed of Holy Power Pool is: medium. Your "Hand of Fate" enhanced state can be maintained for:
Forty-five minutes.
Please wave Holy Light Blade and reverse your destiny!
In the bright golden beam, Dick stood up in a posture of "breathing back blood". He peeled off the melted armor on his body, and walked step by step closer to Dark Kara as if facing the dark wind blowing in front of him.
Every step forward, a golden light envelopes the body.
With every step forward, there will be floating light gathering and condensation.
In the end, Dick returned to the form of "Person in the Light" in everyone's memory. I could barely see a figure but couldn't capture his true expression. It seemed that he really wanted to merge with Holy Light.
Compared with the cold divinity of Sanctified Seraph Form, Diakum at this moment is full of persistence and gentleness as a human being.
In front of his eyes, the platform that was suffering from Void Power's corrosion was being destroyed. The broken stones were abnormally suspended in the air as if they were no longer affected by gravity. Those all-pervasive shadows of the void were roaring and corroding everything, indicating the tragic future of Karabor Temple.
But Dick is not afraid of advancing in the darkness.
He's here, and he won't let those dark futures happen again!
He also had to do this at this time, so that he could protect Velen from the destined "self-sacrifice" in this situation.
In True History of the Dark Portal, Dark Star summoned by Gul'dan destroyed Karabor Temple, and Velen did not have time to purify it, causing Karabor Temple to lose all civilians.
The prophet who witnessed all that was cast into a terrible psychological shadow and became timid in the subsequent series of decisions, which directly led to the tragedy of Orcs massacring most of Draenei.
In another timeline of history, Horde also summoned Dark Star to attack Karabor Temple. Old Velen seized the opportunity that time. He sacrificed himself to save the crisis and reshaped Kara from the dark Entropius form into the glorious Naaru.
That proves how much Velen is loved by Holy Light. One person can purify a Dark Naaru, but that miracle is an even more unacceptable loss for Draenei!
In that timeline, Velen chose Yrel as his successor, but Yrel's growth path was full of darkness, sacrifice and disaster, which radicalized the young man's heart, which ultimately led to the tragedy of Draenei's forced Lightforging to "purify" the entire Draenor.
This is not a single-minded choice, this is a fate blocked by both ends!
No matter what choice Velen makes tonight, Draenei's fate in the Draenor world will lead to tragedy.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, the night when Dark Star fell into Karabor Temple was the real "moment of destiny" for the worlds of Draenei and Draenor.
This is the moment Dick has been waiting for.
He was sure that he would get a firm response from Holy Light at this time.
He knows that his core strength can only be fully released in this scene that will directly determine the direction of the river of destiny, just like the fateful moment in the decisive battle of Argus.
Dick knows that only he who makes his fateful decision tonight is the "complete body·Vigilant" in the true sense. This is also the reason why he dares to take the initiative to propose the epic and difficult proposal of "purifying Kara".
Perhaps it could be said that he had been waiting for this day to arrive since he woke up.
In addition to those personal considerations, as a conscientious Eredar, he will never allow Guardian Naaru Kara, who has sacrificed everything for the Draenei Clan, to end up with a tragic ending of becoming an accomplice of evil.
This is out of Dick's guilt for another Naaru.
Lura saved him.
It can be said that without the protection and healing of the Lura fragments, Dick would not have survived to wake up in this era. Since it is a debt owed to others, it must be repaid without reservation.
He is a Garrison Commander after all!
This is his professional ethics and his code of conduct, and this is where his conscience lies.
"Follow me! Velen, Ishana."
Dick released Holy Light, which had almost no restrictions at this time, in the dark wind, and turned it into a ball of light under the energy manipulation of Eye of the Storm. At the end of the darkness, the sky turned into flying divine Holy Light feathers covering the entire platform, helping the Warrior who were still persisting to resist the Mental Corrosion of the void.
He turned back to Bishop Great Prophet and Aldor with that "Person in the Light" attitude and called out:
"Kara has been away from home for many years. It longs to return to its family. The void takes advantage of its protectiveness and loneliness. Come! Let us take it home and don't let it spend this miserable night again."
"As it should be."
Velen held the staff of Redeemer and strode forward. Great Prophet, who had always been gentle, no longer concealed his power.
Holy Light, which was almost as thick and brilliant as Dick at this time, erupted from the triangle Holy Crest behind him, forming one after another spreading aperture to heal and protect everyone on the platform.
Ishana follows closely behind.
The legendary Priest recited the verses in Temple of Lura that praised Guardian Naaru in his memory.
That is a sutra that has not been recited for more than 20,000 years. Today, few people can remember it, but Ishana has not forgotten a single word, just like she has never forgotten every day she spent in her hometown.
The three most powerful Draenei Priest stepped into the terrifying Netherstorm caused by Dark Kara. Everyone on the platform could only see the flicker of light in the place shrouded in darkness, and the holy light seemed to be rushing through it like lightning.
It's like a torch being lit in the wind and sand, making the darkness that tears the soul no longer worth fearing.
"Look! Kara's body is changing!"
Archbishop Akama, who stayed in place to support Holy Light's barrier to protect Warrior, cheered happily:
"Its darkness faded!"
Maraad, who was supporting Nubodon, raised his head. In the dark smoke that dispersed mournfully at the end of his sight, Dark Naaru suspended in the air continued to scream, and its rotating crystal body seemed to have been peeled off after a heavy blow.
It was pulled from the air to the ground by the constraints of three completely different Holy Light chains.
Under the excited gazes of the Warriors, Dark Star finally landed at the end of Grand Proclamation Platform. Its body was shedding its cold void coat, revealing its still smooth crystal body. With the continuous infusion and purification of Holy Light by the three Priests, the soul-stirring darkness was screaming and collapsing.
"Naaru is singing"
Yrel stared blankly at Naaru in front of him.
She was a young man born after Draenei settled in Draenor. She had never seen the scene of the glorious Naaru protecting Draenei in a real sense. She could only imagine how glorious and sacred such a noble existence was from the descriptions of her fathers.
She has never listened to Song of the Naaru either.
But now, in the scene where the darkness is peeling away and Holy Light returns, she is the first to hear Kara's singing.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
Only those extremely talented Eredar can understand Song of the Naaru without Naaru's blessing. This is enough to show that Yrel has a terrifying talent in the way of Holy Light, but she did not stop at listening.
The children from Ambori Village listened carefully.
After a few seconds, she turned back and shouted to Garrison Commander and Priest behind her:
"Kara is fighting against the evil force of the void. It is fighting its own war. It is trying to dispel the lightless shadow that envelopes it. It has never given up and returned to Mortal realm. It needs help!
Not just the Holy Light infusion of the three saints!
Kara needs help at the level of will. Warrior, compatriots, light up your Holy Light! Let Kara see that the children protected by it will lend a helping hand to it tonight, and we will protect it just like Naaru protects us!
My fellow citizens, light up your light!"
Yrel strode towards the dangerous darkness. She threw away her war hammer and raised her left hand high, letting her not-hot but bright light ignite in the palm of her hand, like holding a torch to dispel the darkness.
That was the first group of light that illuminated all living beings.
Then came the second group.
Maraad, who followed closely behind, also raised her left hand high to let her Holy Light light up in the darkness. The third light came from Samara, who had just become a trainee Priest a few days ago. She came to Yrel, held hands with her sister of faith, and raised her still weak light high.
As a result, more light points lit up in this boundless darkness, just like no matter how deep the shadow is, it cannot block the glimmer of the sea of stars. No matter how fragile the starlight is, when connected together, it can still shape the Milky Way.
A single spark can start a prairie fire!
Nubodon, who was sitting on the ground, was a little depressed at this moment.
He watched the compatriots around him raising their arms to light the torch one after another, but he could no longer use Holy Light.
"Why are you showing such a weak expression? Child."
Archbishop Akama came over and pulled Nubodon up from the ground. He said softly:
"You still have the blessing of Naaru, Holy Light still envelopes your soul, don't be afraid or feel sorry for yourself, light is light, even the faintest candle is enough to dispel the darkness.
Come on!
Let Kara see your growth."
Encouraged by Akama, Nubodon took a deep breath, raised his left hand, and let the blessings of the racially talented Naaru converge into a ball of light. But at this moment, he was surprised to feel the embrace and warmth of his soul again.
Even though he was possessed by the power of the elements, Holy Light did not give up on him.
Holy Light is still paying attention to him and still protecting him.
Nubodon was greatly encouraged and looked back.
One after another, Holy Light from Draenei lit up in this breathtaking darkness.
Even those Arcane Mage and the rangers raised their hands, turning the blessing given to them by Naaru into a small ball of light that lit up in their hands. Not only Grand Proclamation Platform, but also when the news that Kara needed help spread in the city, the people who were being transferred also spontaneously climbed up.
Draenei and Holy Light have coexisted for too long. Even if Holy Light Walker can not use the blessing of Naaru to heal themselves, they still have their own light.
They called out to Naaru who had protected them, and they raised their arms to illuminate the darkness around them with the fragile light like a candle.
It was like a gust of flaming wind blowing through the entire Karabor Temple, and soon there were floating points of light standing in the darkness in every city.
Kara saw it!
Dark Naaru, who was purified by the three saints using Holy Light, saw all this.
It knows that the children it protects are encouraging and calling themselves in this way, trying to bring themselves back to the light, even if they are tempted by the void to destroy them with terrible pollution.
But they didn't give up on themselves.
They hope it can return to their warm home, just like they longed for it when they were lost.
"Come back."
Velen poured Holy Light into the Naaru's Body in front of him, and he called softly.
"They are waiting for you. Come back. A city without you would not be called home."
Ishana also called out in tears.
"We have to return to Argus together, Kara."
Dick said in a deep voice:
"Can you bear to abandon us in the middle of this journey? Come back and shine on us and guide us as you did in the past, lighting the way home for us."
Kara heard it.
Unexpectedly, it heard the calls of the three saints and the lights floating in the darkness in the city.
Without the call of ordinary people to light the way forward for them in the darkness, how could these children continue their destiny journey with courage?
they need it
Well, it's time to say goodbye to the smooth-talking void scumbag.
Kara began to struggle more actively.
Most of its body that has been purified by Holy Light is spinning, just like its once glorious posture. It calls out to the Holy Light who shaped it to make its purification faster and faster.
It no longer wants to cause any more trouble to these children because of itself.
But Void is unwilling to give up.
The shadow from Sea of Darkness is still haunting it, which is as disgusting as those ex-boyfriends who are stalking you for no reason.
They use deeper Shadow Convergence on the edge of Kara Crystal's body, trying to prevent the final purification of Kara in this way.
But Kara doesn't want to waste time anymore!
It just wants to return to the children now, so under the surprised gazes of Dick and Velen, Naaru's thin but sharp crystal body flipped like a sharp blade and cut through its contaminated edges and part of its dark body.
Amidst the noise caused by the shattering of the crystal, the fragments occupied by filth screamed and flew out.
They screamed and scattered into the ground at the feet of Kara.
Like crystals cast in darkness, like black agate, they are still unwilling to admit defeat, and are still trying to bewitch the lives close to them. However, all this can no longer prevent the return of Kara.
This mutilated Naaru is spinning and stretching as usual.
After being lost for more than two hundred years, it sang for the first time, letting the soul-purifying ethereal song spread throughout the entire platform, allowing all listening beings to feel the warm hands soothing the tired spirit at this moment.
When they saw the glorious Kara once again shining on Karabor Temple with its holy body, the excited Garrison Commander and Priest rushed up and knelt down around it. They prayed to Naaru and told Naaru about their weaknesses and insights as they did in exile.
Naaru uses ethereal sounds to encourage these children not to give up hope.
Old Orcs was also deeply moved after witnessing this miracle of defeating the darkness and rescuing Naaru.
He saw the precious unity of Draenei and the weakest corner in their hearts. Their shared weal and woe relationship with Naaru proved that they were definitely not evil people. They could risk the fall of the entire city just for the return of the light of Dark Naaru, which had completely fallen into the void.
How could such a race be evil?
If they can accept Naaru, a creature that is completely different from them, to become their family and relatives, then Draenei can also accept the peaceful Orcs to be their friend.
Ner'zhul had a little worry about the peace between the two races before, but after personally participating in such a great rescue, he no longer had any doubts.
Gul'dan and his evil companions will surely fail!
War has never been what Draenor needs. The world needs unity and peace.
And in a distant place, in Shadow Council's secret stronghold, Gul'dan and his apprentices, who have been spying on Karabor Temple with secret methods, are now in dead silence.
They were not able to see Dark Star destroy Karabor City, but they unexpectedly saw a miracle belonging to Holy Light.
That miracle even began to reversely "purify" the hopeless souls of these villains. One of them, Orc Warlock Olu'nok Riftheart, who was hiding in the crowd, lowered his head and wiped his eyes. He felt that something was emitting from his cold heart. The long-lost warmth?
Even if there is only a trace, it is so real.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter. It's not a failure! It's just part of the plan."
Gul'dan gritted his teeth, his red eyes filled with anger.
But he still said stubbornly:
"Diakum has exhausted all his strength to purify Dark Star. I want to see how this exhausted monster Saint, who was defeated by Saint Lightforging, can avoid Fel-Forged Kilrogg's next assassination!
I admit that he rescued their Naaru, which is really impressive, but he is dead!
Yes!
He can't see the sun tomorrow!"
