Chapter 737 15. I want to become the eighth oldest child in the universe! So the Queen said - additional update[45]
(Additional update for the brothers of "Five Light Years per Second" [4/5])
The arrival of Sarkir made up for the last regrets of Eternal Ones.
It's not that the Shaper itself will have a profound impact on this battle between the "right owner" and the "spare tire", but mainly the King's Sorrow it brings.
The immortal spirit body of Sire Denathrius is sealed in this sword. Even if he claims that the "self" he cut off has been obliterated by the ignorant Azshara, if anyone dares to believe what the emperor says, he will have it for the rest of his life.
In fact, less than a quarter of an hour after Azshara killed Denathrius, in King's Sorrow who was under the care of Sarkir, the emperor started talking dirty again.
This fully proves that the so-called "cutting immortality" is just another trick used by Denathrius, the "King of Lies", to win sympathy.
Denathrius That's that Denathrius!
He plays conspiracies, manipulates fools, fears that the world will not be in chaos, and desires to enjoy the screams of sin and uneasiness. This is His true nature, and this nature will not change just because he is eternally sealed in this Demon Sword.
Sarkir did not join Zereth Mortis's expedition team because it had other things to do.
As the Shaper said, it took some time to deal with the group of Nathrezims who came to "rob prisoners" at the border between Shadowlands and Material Star Sea. After the Stoneborns under Stonewright took over the remaining eternal pursuit, it immediately came to Sepulcher of the First Ones.
Hurrying and hurrying, I finally caught up.
You see, all Eternal Ones have participated in the war against the "spare tires", and they are determined to become "The One" themselves, in order to get rid of the bullshit destiny that First Ones has sent down, so that Death Force can truly be freed and move towards the future it deserves.
In such a monumental battle, whoever Eternal Ones is not invited is the real "Shadowlands bullying".
"Here I come! The King of Sin is here!"
The Emperor roared into the battlefield while driving King's Sorrow. He shattered Absolution Prototype's scarlet wings in one encounter, and stabbed Dutifulness Prototype in a flexible turn.
It perfectly fulfilled the role of pulling and controlling, and under the reinforcement of the tens of thousands of rays of light descending from Kyrestia, who held Golden Radiance Battle Standard in his hand and a scale in the other hand, it gave the three-man combat team led by the Jailer a perfect moment of assault.
Perhaps, since their birth until now, these five guys have never cooperated so perfectly.
They once lacked a reason to fight together, but now, this reason has appeared. Unfortunately, there is no longer any bond that can be called "family" between the five Eternal Ones who were born in the same place.
They missed the opportunity to become "Shadowlands family heroes", which is really sad.
But on the other hand, under the current situation, with the five Eternal Ones who have already gone their separate ways working together, there will no longer be any suspense about the outcome of this war.
So much so that Diakum didn't even appreciate it here, but turned around and left after confirming that it was correct.
As Primus said, this is the first and last time for these brothers and sisters to fight side by side. No matter whether this experience is good or bad, let's leave these times to them.
There will be no "goodbye" anymore.
From then on, they will become a "mark" representing the past in each other's lives.
Diakum is a gentle Warrior of Light, who is unwilling to disturb Eternal Ones's last moments. Sarkir is obviously a big villain enough to be "Asashi". When Dick left, it also turned around and left.
"So, what did I miss?"
The Shaper, whose body was still stained with the smell of blood, asked:
"What's the matter with this strange "chord" on your body? Have you solved the mystery of Cipher of the First Ones?"
"Yes, Azshara cracked the ciphertext sequence by playing Chorus of All Things. The ciphertext compilation device is still in Zereth Mortis's cave."
Dick said:
"If you go in time enough, you should be able to gain control of Cipher of the First Ones before we destroy Chorus of All Things of Zereth Mortis and cause the place to completely collapse.
I advise you to complete it as soon as possible.
Cipher of the First Ones is the basis for the study of First Ones knowledge. If you cannot master these sequences, there will be no in-depth exploration of the mysteries of First Ones."
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll go right away."
Sarkir nodded.
The Shaper has been honest enough after dying three times. It will not hide any of its desires. People came to Zereth Mortis just to decipher the mystery of First Ones.
Don't say that Sarkir is indifferent and turns a blind eye to the future of Shadowlands.
All its enthusiasm has been left to its own world, hometown and people, and no other warmth is left to those who are incomparable with it.
However, Sarkir is a great guy after all.
Before it went to First Ones Cipher Compiler, it looked up and down at Diakum with strange eyes and said:
"You are "missing" a piece. Someone has taken away part of it. A small part does not even affect your Light-Shadow Coexistence, but a missing piece is a missing piece.
Who did it?"
"A guy you and I can't afford to mess with."
Diakum sighed and said:
"It has probably left here, but I guess you will definitely meet each other later. There are very few souls that can penetrate that guy's discernment, but you are undoubtedly one of them.
Let me give you a suggestion.
Although that guy is kind, when you meet him, in order to ensure that you don't get hurt, don't do things that will anger him.
In this era when First Ones is reclusive, there are very few people who can suppress it, and there is absolutely no need for us to become enemies with a guy who can rub the "god" with his hands. Maybe. I mean maybe, it will become a star sea legend similar to Tarasin in the future.
Hey, our Azeroth universe also has its own "figure king", this is really great."
"So powerful?"
Sarkir's expression changed slightly. After confirming that Diakum was not exaggerating, the Shaper nodded and said:
"King's Sorrow is temporarily in your hands and will be retrieved after I complete the interpretation of the cipher text system. I will fulfill my duties and Denathrius will not have another chance to interfere with Material Universe and Six Realms.
Most of its Nathrezim intelligence network had been destroyed in the previous ambush, and the rest had fled, but Stoneborn would not let them go!
Those beings that have inherited the cunning heart of Denathrius will turn into dormancy. Of course, they will not be willing to die, but for a long time, they will not be able to make bigger waves."
"I don't think so."
Diakum blinked and said:
"Nathrezim has been shaped too perfectly by Sire Denathrius. Their miraculous latent ability is the perfect power for any careerist and overlord. So, I guess, Nathrezim will definitely find a new "next home" soon.
Considering that they must be loyal to the "underlying code" of Sire Denathrius, you, the Demon Sword suppressor, will most likely not have as much leisure as you think in the future.
But how to say it?
You deserve it.
You are destined to not be able to enjoy Tranquility in peace until all the sins you have committed are repaid."
"Then you might as well just curse me to death. At least death will come, and the day of atonement is far away and boring. If Demon Sword, the king of sin, is suppressed by me, who can come to Judgment me?"
Sarkir sneered, waved his hand and said:
"However, this is not a farewell, Dick. On the day of Argus's liberation, you and I will meet again. Let me tell you a secret."
The Shaper whispered:
"Eredar's God of Death is not just me, but three! The wise hold power, the benevolent guide the faith, and the brave protect all living beings. The three powers are separated and become a trinity. This is our tradition!
Don't stop them both from running to their death! Diakum.
Everything is destined. I mourn their passing with condolences."
"I didn't want to stop it and I couldn't stop it."
Diakum shook his head and said:
"I should also ascend into the sky, sit on the horizon, protect the past and return the present and future to my people."
"Behold, you too will become a harmless idol"
Sarkir sneered, but Vigilant shook his head and said:
"Whoever dares to treat me as a god and act recklessly will be punished by Holy Light's Judgment and the shadow of excommunication! We Ancient One have tried our best and spent 25,000 years to shape the future, which is not for rats to sit in."
"If you insist on having your own way, they will one day call you "evil god" and turn their weapons on you!"
The Shaper said:
"Those who have ascended to heaven, those who have turned into gods, please mind your own business!
If God could control everything about people, there wouldn't be so many disputes and turmoils in the world. What's the difference between your behavior of trying to protect the future and First Ones's foolish behavior of setting a destiny?
When you see the gods resisting, don't make the same mistake again.
Otherwise, one day, your "Eternal Ones" will come to attack you, the "unjust god" who binds all living beings."
After saying that, Sarkir used First Ones Runes Teleportation Spell to send himself away from the Holy Tomb. It was very patient with all the mysteries that existed here.
It knows that now is not the time to reveal these mysteries.
Only after the collapse of Zereth Mortis, until the destiny of heaven completely collapsed, and until the authority of First Ones was completely shattered, can those hidden secrets be revealed to the light of day.
And its last reminder did not elicit much response from Diakum.
The two people had different understandings of these things from the beginning, so there was no need to try to convince each other.
When Dick raised his hand, the moment his Chorus of All Things came into contact with the Voice of All Things enveloped by Zereth Mortis, Vigilant clearly felt the chaos of Chorus of All Things.
Azshara has already started taking action!
The Queen's efficiency is really high. She activates the First Ones console everywhere and puts the noise into the harmonious movement. Once the noise reaches a certain limit, the Zereth Mortis will completely collapse.
The program of destruction has been activated, and the countdown to the collapse of Holy Land has begun. It is time to complete the last thing.
Diakum carried the sun's war hammer on his back and strode towards the highest point of Sepulcher of the First Ones. He strode towards the place where First Ones's Grand Blueprint was stored.
There, in the name of morality, responsibility and perseverance, he will complete the final showdown with another idealist who pursues righteousness.
It's a pity.
It is destined that only a noble soul can leave from there.
"The noise has been implanted! The progress of Chorus of All Things's interference is increasing. It is expected that the time from Voice of All Things to collapse will be one hour!"
On the console in the central sector of Zereth Mortis, Nether-Stalker is reporting the progress to Azshara.
Not only is it busy alone, but the Broker scholars are all busy under the command of Nether-Stalker. They are scattered to the corners of Zereth Mortis's controllers, where they execute unified interference processes.
These guys had been assimilated by Voice of All Things left by First Ones in Zereth Mortis and were hopeless. However, after the three of Azshara cracked the mystery of Cipher of the First Ones and formed their own Chorus of All Things, Nether-Stalker had a way to wake them up.
It gained the knowledge from Cipher of the First Ones that it can manipulate others.
Nether-Stalker used this knowledge to launch his first attempt, and the effect was outstanding. Broker scholars who were previously assimilated into the First Ones chord were now dragged into the Nether-Stalker chord.
They still accept the assimilation of certain rules, but now Nether-Stalker is the absolute core.
This completely unreasonable manipulation made Nether-Stalker itself feel "afraid", and it felt as if it had become the big villain in the story.
After all, the ability of "mind control" is standard for big villains. What's more, the assimilation of Chorus of All Things mastered by Nether-Stalker is no longer a small skill like "mind control".
However, its report did not receive a response from Azshara.
The Queen is now sitting on the stone throne behind the console in the central sector, holding her mechanical pet Pokopok in her arms, thinking hard about something.
In her hand, she held a book of Primordial Tongue poems that she had recorded by herself. This was the information that Azshara extracted from Cipher of the First Ones when she played Chorus of All Things.
What Voice of All Things, which has been hanging over Zereth Mortis, plays is the content of this poem.
Azshara has decoded it.
The content is not complicated, just a bit beyond common sense.
"This "The Seventh"."
The queen narrowed her eyes.
At this moment when Zereth Mortis is about to be destroyed, she is still obsessed with studying the poems left by First Ones. She firmly believes that the truth of all things lies in it.
The problem now is that every reader has his or her own understanding of the same piece of poetry, so how should Azshara correctly understand this piece of "Creation Poetry" written in Primordial Tongue?
"Why are you still fishing here?"
Medivh's dissatisfied voice echoed along with the chords transmitted by the cipher text, ringing in Azshara's ears, causing the queen to raise her head, blink her eyes and ask:
"My Magic Prince, you have been with Shadowlands for a long time. What do you think of "The Seventh"?"
"I don't think that's a question that mortals should consider."
Medivh killed the game with one sentence. He said to the queen seriously:
"If the Seventh can really be born outside of Six Forces, then do you think that besides our World Mother, besides our Supreme Star Soul, there are really other souls in Material Universe and Six Realms that can take on this important task?
So put down that meaningless book of Creation Psalms in your hands.
All of this was ordered by First Ones!
Their so-called destiny weaving has not ended yet. It is not until Supreme Star Soul wakes up and becomes the Seventh that the "freedom" that all living beings long for will truly come.
Yes, the birth of "The Seventh" means the end of the "prophetic era" of First Ones. Although due to some unexpected factors, their predictions have long been riddled with holes, and their so-called destiny has been beaten to the ground.
However, the Seventh is the Seventh.
That is a standard, an end point, and a new Qidian."
"Ah, I understand."
Azshara nodded and closed the book of creation poems she had recorded. She stood up and placed the Pokopok with a boring flower hand on her shoulders decorated with delicate collarbones.
She said:
"So, what we should be chasing is not to replace "The Seventh", but to become "The Eighth", right?
Only after the Seventh breaks the balance of Six Forces or creates a new balance will more ascended gods be able to appear in a freer and more tolerant universe system.
I mean the path to true God.
Until then, the prosperous era of the universe will truly come. However, what about Diakum? Which path should my Court Advisor take?"
"Dick's path is not among our considerations, my lord."
Medivh shook his head and said:
"He can inherit or develop, but I guess he will not choose either. He will not choose to intervene more or leave more in this sea of stars. He will only take the share he deserves and then be happy with all the rewards.
I'm not just guessing, do you still remember Dick's catchphrase?"
"He always said that he was a "Warrior of Light passing by"."
Azshara blinked.
Then he thoughtfully reached out his hand to move his long hair and said softly:
"Could it be that Diakum's catchphrase is never to complain, he is just "telling the truth"? Is he really just planning to "pass by" rather than "occupy the magpie's nest"?
Ah, it's unimaginable.
An'she gave him everything he had, should he still refuse?"
"Then here's the problem."
Astral Mage stretched out his voice and asked the queen:
"When someone insists on giving you something you don't need or want, will you refuse?"
