will make way for you
"We're going to hell, why don't you put on a smile and make this journey even more legendary?"
In front of Oribos, the Eternal City's city platform, Diakum made a joke.
Unfortunately, no one around him could catch his smile, including Maldraxxus and Death Marquis who all had serious faces.
The guy Blackhand was holding his weapon tightly, as if he jumped from the center of this Oribos city and the moment he landed on the Maw, he would be surrounded by a large group of the Jailer, Mawsworn and Burning Legion. He had to kill thousands of Mawsworn with his own hands before he could break out, and then find a foothold to start a series of long and boring tasks.
But in fact, this trip to the Maw was not as dangerous as they thought.
The reason is simple.
This was the Jailer inviting them to come. It was not very rude to just kick in the door without saying hello and trigger a series of hostile war actions.
However, the Warriors of Four Covenants have not yet completely gathered in Oribos.
Mobilizing manpower takes time, not to mention that currently, except for Ardenweald and Maldraxxus, which have relatively complete systems, the other two systems of Four Covenants are in a bad stage of "post-disaster reconstruction", so it is good to be able to squeeze out manpower.
Shadowlands's destiny has only collapsed but not completely disintegrated. Kyrian still wants to send people to continue to retrieve the souls. Venthyr has also restarted the Judgment search for the souls of sinners under the command of Court of Harvesters.
Even Eternal Arbiter of Oribos has been shut down for a long time.
Speaking of which, the Attendant of the Godss of Oribos have indeed disappeared. The news obtained by asking "locals" in this city is that after confirming that the Eternal Arbiter cannot be repaired, those Attendant of the Godss gathered together to discuss something, and then a batch of Attendant of the Godss disappeared every day.
Until five days ago, the last Attendant of the Gods also left this Oribos.
The last instruction they left was to hope that the residents of the city would maintain their original living habits, and told the residents that "the destiny will be restored soon, and everything will be back on track."
Well, there is no need to think too much about the meaning of this message.
The collective disappearance of Attendant of the Gods should be a major event, but Shadowlands has encountered too many big facts recently, making it impossible for people to continue to focus on these "little things".
The collapse of destiny is no longer just a rumor, it has truly affected individuals in the realm of death.
The most direct example is that the blockade of various countries in the inter-region is rapidly weakening. Broker Cartel's Veiled Market has observed that the energy tide in the inter-region is weakening, and even the positions of some small countries have undergone strange changes.
If the map of Shadowlands used to be flat, it is now transforming into a "three-dimensional" one, and the residents of Oribos were horrified to find that the connection between the Maw and Oribos is strengthening.
Originally Oribos was Shadowlands the One a place where you could "safely enter" The Maw. Jumping from the ring in the center of the city, you can directly enter the Maw land.
This is also the passage those heinous souls will take when they are punished to the Maw.
Although there is this passage, it is impossible for the creatures of the Maw to come to Oribos in the reverse direction. The rules left by First Ones seal off the area as the "Place of Punishment". However, just recently, the residents of Oribos can always see the looming black spiers from Planar Storm around the city.
The spire of that thing seems to be "growing".
Maybe it won't be long before it can touch the urban areas of Oribos.
Those with sharp eyes can even see the Mawsworns walking back and forth in the black tower, which allowed them to understand where the looming black tower came from.
This must be an evil building built by the Jailer to invade their Oribos.
But in fact, the situation is not as serious as they thought.
"That is just one part of a series of environmental and ecological changes caused by the collapse of Destiny. Based on my observations of the Maw, I can clearly tell you that that place is not located "under" Oribos.
Like other worlds in Shadowlands, it is located somewhere in the inter-domain, and there is no real relative position difference.
First Ones uses some magical and unconventional spatial concept settings to give local people the illusion of "going to hell."
Queen Azshara explained in a casual tone:
"It is normal to see the top of the Torghast, Tower of the Damned tower here. Rather than saying that the tower is "longer", it is better to say that people here couldn't see anything before because the collapse of the destiny caused the obstruction of vision to be eliminated.
It's always been there, it's just that the locals have a bad eye.
This is a very simple illusion principle, and it is not surprising at all. So, who are we waiting for here?
How long will it take to get down?
I can't wait to go to Zereth Mortis."
"Wild Hunt from Ardenweald sent a message this morning. They are sending a very special thing to the Maw. It is said to be an item prepared by Mr. Marasmius to protect us.
I guess it should be a "special mushroom ring" that can send everyone out the Maw in a critical moment.
That's obviously necessary."
Diakum said in a gentle tone:
"However, you can go first. Really, you don't have to wait for us. I think based on your legendary experience in the Maw, you will definitely be deeply moved by revisiting your old place this time."
The Queen didn't care about this teasing.
Behind her, Royal Internal Affairs Officer Wei Nally was carrying a weapon box, which contained the Queen's sword. Remornia was seriously damaged in order to take revenge. He had previously found Heirmir the Bonesmith at Maldraxxus, but the latter said that there was no way to repair it. If he really wanted to repair it, he could only find "Runecarver".
In fact, it is a hint to everyone that the situation has reached this point and it is time to rescue Primus to take charge of the overall situation.
Unfortunately, no one pretended to hear it.
After everyone waited for a few more minutes, Wild Hunt's messenger arrived belatedly.
What surprised Diakum was that in addition to Lord Hel'n and Archon Elios, there was also a group of goblins in this well-trained forest messenger, including Willow Wisp with a golden crown.
This was the first time Willow Wisp came to Oribos. Everything she and a group of goblins saw was novel, but when she saw the big guy, Willow Wisp cheered and turned into a golden stream of light and appeared on Diakum's shoulder.
She said loudly:
"We went to High Heaven to play. The very good-tempered Xe'ra received us. In order to make us feel at home, she even opened a forest for us in High Heaven.
She said that the fairies can set the piece of "Tranquil Forest" to whatever the fairies want according to their own preferences.
The people there are so nice.
All of them are beautiful, have good personalities, speak nicely and enthusiastically, the fairies really like it there!
It's a pity that we can only go there twice a week after work.
Oh, we also met Lord Eldest Daughter there, but now she said her name is "Chief Archangels" and she is shaping angels for High Heaven, who are all heroic souls from all worlds. According to It is said that he is a loyal person who sacrifices everything for his faith in "Solar War". It is said that he can avoid the torture of walking Faith Stairway and directly become Warrior who defends High Heavens.
They said it was a supreme honor.
Those holy spirits who were wandering under the long stairs were envious. They said the stairs were difficult to walk, but the goblins tried and it was not difficult. The goblins could easily cross those stairs."
Willow Wisp looked puzzled, Diakum helped her straighten the crooked crown on her head, and then explained:
"Goblins have simple minds and have been Ardenweald all their lives. The biggest "evil" you have ever come into contact with is just the pranks of Forest Spirits. The most terrible bad thing you have done is just to prank other people.
How could your innocent minds be tortured on Faith Stairway?
More importantly, it is a ladder for Holy Light Walker people to use to cleanse their souls, and you are creatures of life, so the binding force is inherently weaker."
"I heard that the Kyrians of Bastion also plan to follow the model of High Heaven and modify their once long and cold promotion process into a walking-like trial to select new Kyrian members."
Lord Hel'n stepped forward to salute Diakum and said:
"I also heard that they want to separate the black-winged and white-winged angels and give them different missions. The saints believe that Bastion cannot be satisfied with being a messenger. Shadowlands As a symbol of Death Force, we must promote the virtue of death in Material World like other Force Walkers. Therefore, when encountering provocations that blaspheme death, we should also take the initiative.
The Kyrians of Black Wing may be given such a responsibility, and the Warriors of Maldraxxus like this proposal very much, and they strongly suggest forming a joint "Death Crusaders".
It is said that Winter Queen also believes that this behavior is necessary.
She said that no matter how Shadowlands changes in the future, it can no longer live its own life behind closed doors like in the "Era of Destiny". We should interact positively with Material World like other force Holy Domain.
Perhaps in the future, the messengers of Ardenweald will also take the initiative to cross the curtain of Life and Death and go to welcome those nature walkers.
Kyrians said that they have been working as messengers for many years and have indeed seen many poor people who have become "lonely ghosts" because they were not picked up in time. Since Four Covenantss each have their own moral principles, then we should take the initiative to protect those souls that we should protect."
"Well, that's a good thing."
Diakum blinked and said:
"For example, I know that there is a force called "Scourge" in Azeroth World. Their leader Lich King accepted some Domination from Zovaal, and claimed that he controlled death and killed the living at will and transformed them into the dead.
They have destroyed the poor Nerubian civilization and are extending their butcher knife to the elves.
Such forces that stigmatize death should let the heavenly soldiers and generals of Shadowlands take action and severely punish them, so as to correct the world's understanding of "death".
Death is not evil.
Death is the One of all the Forces, the one that treats everyone fairly."
"Ah, what you said is so good, it really speaks to my heart!"
Great Chieftain Blackhand next to him rubbed his hands and said impatiently:
"So, when do we set out to crush Gul'dan's head?"
"Don't worry, we are about to go."
Dick glanced at the wooden box that was carefully transported by Wild Hunt. He could feel that part of Old Mushroom Head's "body" was stored in it. Hiss, Marasmius really went all out this time and actually sent part of his mycelial body directly to the Maw.
However, according to Old Mushroom Head's exaggerated teleportation ability, it actually uses its own body as a teleportation tool. It can be seen that it is definitely not just Wild Hunt's Warriors that it will send to the Maw in the near future.
Azshara obviously noticed the contents of the box.
When Diakum stepped forward to be the first to jump off the Maw, the queen asked in a low voice:
"Winter Queen wants to go down in person? What is she going to do? Didn't it mean that Eternal Ones is not allowed to get close to Zereth Mortis?"
"Shh!"
Diakum made a silent gesture and whispered:
"We just have to do our own thing, Your Majesty. Obviously, there is one more noble person who wants to change the world in Shadowlands, and there is one more powerful person who is in the same camp as us.
Although we can't expect Winter Queen to fight Sargeras against Material World, at least she can help block a few knives when something goes wrong.
Don't you think this is gratifying?"
"Well, my Court Advisor, your thoughts are too dark. Your understanding of Holy Light is really problematic!"
"A sneeze"
The sudden cough made Death Lord Toserin, who had just hacked to death several Suramar City defenders with Frostmourne, stunned for a moment. The indifferent elf who was besieging Suramar City with Undead said sarcastically:
"What? Does Lich King also catch a cold? It seems that Northrend is still very cold and windy."
"Shut up, this is dangerous prediction!"
Gul'dan's hazy voice followed Helm of Domination's connection and sounded directly in Toserin's mind. It said uneasily:
"Although I don't know where the danger comes from, I do feel a threat, a very strong threat! Considering that Master Sarkir died unexpectedly, there is currently a problem with our communication with Shadowlands. No one answered my call, and even the Maw no longer allows Death Gods like me and Helya to enter. Something must have happened.
Can't wait any longer!
In order to prevent us from being unable to resist when the worst happens, we must immediately turn Azshara into one of us!"
"It must be easy for you to just say whatever you want. I am the one fighting now."
Toserin wears a crown filled with cold air. Every time he breathes, the cold air will shape a ferocious skull mask on his gray face.
He raised his head, stared at Suramar City, which had been besieged for many days but showed no sign of falling, and said hoarsely:
"Elisande adopted a very extreme tortoise strategy. She turned on Nightwell's magic power to the maximum. We could only surround the city and clean up those weak Nightborne who were trying to go out for help. We couldn't even step into the city.
There was originally internal fighting between the Forbidden Guard and Elisande factions loyal to the Queen, but because of our arrival and oppression, they have been united."
"Unity? Oh, you actually want to believe that two camps that have been hostile to each other for ten thousand years will really unite because of the arrival of a foreign enemy?"
Gul'dan sneered and said:
"You elves, you are so naive! So what if Elisande blocked the city? Can she block the land or the sea? There are problems with Suramar's design. This is not a city that can be sustained for a long time.
As long as the sea water is still flowing, it will be easy to break through it, but the moral bottom line of the enemies this city has encountered before is too high.
Throw the things I gave you before leaving into the sea.
Well, by the way, pour some into the groundwater of Suramar!
That is the "good stuff" that I specifically asked the demon masters at the Burning Legion to purify, and it is enough to ensure that this ridiculous city falls within a week.
Morality
This illusory thing has restricted too many victories and shaped so many miserable failures."
Toserin glanced at the Vrykul Death Knights in the rear who had begun to carry the plague barrels. It was obvious that although he was the commander of this Undead, he could not really command these Undead.
Under the command of Helm of Domination, Undead will only obey the command of Lich King.
As a result, barrels of plague were moved to the coastal waters of Suramar, and would be released close to the city's shield. Although most of the toxins would be filtered out by Suramar's magic shield, Gul'dan mixed these plagues with some "special attack on elves" stuff.
That's its real purpose.
"You are such a bastard, Gul'dan!"
The sword wielder of Frostmourne cursed, and Gul'dan's laughter and response sounded in his mind:
"Well, thank you for the compliment, Toserin, you elves are so elegant when you curse others. In my hometown, those polite people would call me "scum"."
