(Chapter word count changes will be updated [5/5])
Argus Lord was finally found at the border of this star sea battlefield. On an unsightly star that was destroyed by the tide of the Force, the broken body of Argus lay there like a pile of discarded abandoned boulders.
His perfect star body was completely chopped into pieces, and even the immortal Cosmic Soul suffered heavy damage.
But at the last moment, Ms. Elune, who likes to be "nosy in other people's business", used a heavy enough Moon Goddess light, so that Argus, who took a complete Annihilation from the front, would not end up on the verge of death.
I have to say that among all the opponents who have played against Sargeras, Argus's "high paraplegia" outcome is already considered very good.
At least people are still there.
The queen trio quickly used Cipher of the First Ones's Chorus of All Things to barely "glue" the Lord's broken star body, but when Medivh squeezed his own power to release a space-time spell that reached directly to the world of Argus, Nether-Stalker found the real "good thing".
"Come here! See what I found?"
This Ethereal waved his hands excitedly. When the queen approached, she was also startled even though she had seen a lot.
It was a red broken blade.
It seems that only the blade part is inserted into the star in a deep way, and has absorbed all the Divine Might. It looks no different from a Shattered Blade.
If Cipher of the First Ones had not brought a sufficiently keen perception, Nether-Stalker would not have been able to detect it.
"This is. Gorribal?"
The Queen circled around the broken blade several times, reaching out and trying to touch it, but the moment she got close to the broken blade, the sharp breath cut her fingers open, causing blood to flow.
Azshara was amazed at this. She glanced back at the direction of the black hole shaped by Arcane and Fel, and said softly:
"After this Gorribal was chopped into pieces by Lord of Dawn, it was not recycled. I don't know what Sargeras thought about it, but we must take it back.
I heard that the cunning dragon Blackhorn has taken Taeshalach from Aggramar and asked the lovely Little Star to send it back to Star Soul Sanctuary. Now we are bringing Gorribal back to World Mother.
According to my conversation with Titan Soul, it is said that when these two broken blades are held by a noble soul with enough determination, they will be reshaped into the legendary "Gorshalach".
That is the sword used by Sargeras before he fell.
He relied on it to stabilize the entire star sea and bring an era of prosperity to Pantheon. But when Sargeras chose to embrace the corruption of Fel, the prehistoric blade, which had already had spirituality, would rather choose to break itself than assist Dark Titan in its destruction.
It is truly a legendary sword from the Star Sea.
I believe that in this sea of stars, only the Queen's World Mother is qualified to wave it again!"
"So, you can't do it either?"
Nether-Stalker joked:
"This is the first time I have seen the Supreme Queen so humble."
"Of course I can't."
Azshara was very calm about this, she waved her hand and said:
"I have too many selfish desires in my heart. How can I be recognized by an artifact like Gorshalach, which was born at the time of Great Ordering of Light and Shadow? Besides, this is a real Warrior blade. Your queen is a noble spellcaster, or Remornia is more compatible with me."
"Yes, yes, Mistress and I are the perfect fighting partners!"
Demon Sword, who was praised, happily circled around the queen several times, and then looked directly at Gorribal, who was being dug out by Nether-Stalker, with some malice.
But Dark Titan's sword was too lazy to talk to this "youngster" with an abnormal mind.
It seems to have fallen into a deep sleep and will no longer serve another master. It is not known whether this Blade of Destruction will say anything valuable when it is sent to Azeroth, who has begun to consciously collect various usable things for his awakened future, and meets his ancient brother Taeshalach.
But if you think about it carefully, in the distant future, you can see the awakened Supreme Star Soul walking among the stars holding the recast Gorshalach. The scene is really exciting enough.
"Diakum."
When the paralyzed Argus Lord was lifted up by the queen's trio with energy and sent into the gate of time and space opened by Medivh, he asked weakly:
"My boy, is he okay?"
"He won, Dark Titan lost, Diakum said he wanted to say his final farewell to Sargeras there."
Azshara explained:
"You know, he is a very ritual person."
"That's good."
Argus laughed, but after a few laughs he coughed painfully.
He sighed and said:
"I finally didn't embarrass my children. Send me back. It's time for me to embark on my own reincarnation."
"I would suggest that you hold on for a while longer, at least until the next dawn."
Medivh said warmly:
"Wouldn't it be a waste of regret not to be able to say goodbye to your most wonderful child before leaving?"
"What's more, the wisp of Fel's power that you snatched from Dark Titan when you were dueling with Sargeras can't accompany you into your reincarnation, can it?"
Nether-Stalker shook his head and said:
"You must properly entrust this dangerous power to a trustworthy Fel Walker before leaving."
"That's true."
Argus asked:
"You three seem very reliable, so do you have anyone to recommend?"
"Yes!"
The queen touched the corners of her eyes and said softly:
"There was a guy who had the same eye color as me, a guy who faced Sargeras but did not choose to give in, a guy who had been hunting demons for ten thousand years in the chaotic era of the star sea. He is currently on the battlefield of Argus.
To be honest, apart from him, I can't think of any mortal who dares to accept this destined to be cruel power.
Please rest first.
When we arrive, I will send someone to bring him to you."
The black hole formed by the confrontation between Fel and Arcane will not be Dispersion for a while. Diakum feels that there is a high probability that this thing will become an "iconic landscape" that will exist in this unfortunate star field for the next few thousand years.
Just like when Aggramar hit the last Enemy Breaker, the magnificent Arcane Force tore apart the space and formed a phase collapse wherever it went.
Diakum Standing in this sea of stars, you can see the terrifying crack when you raise your head.
It's like a weird and mysterious "eye" opened in the galaxy. It is a crack formed after the space structure of the universe was completely destroyed. No one knows what is on the other side of the crack, and no one is willing to jump in to explore the way.
At least Diakum would never do that.
Those indescribably chaotic Arcane Tear have been activated in the cracks. Until the cosmic structure of this galaxy is completely repaired, this "Eye of Chaos" will become the most dangerous star in the physical universe.
It is much more dangerous than a black hole that only knows "eat, eat, eat". Who knows if this thing will breed strange existences like Dymus.
After all, Dymus was just a more powerful Voidwalkers in the beginning, and there are also strange things like Arcane elements in the Arcane field, so this possibility exists in theory.
Diakum can feel that his suppressed and blocked power is recovering. The sword marks of Annihilation's aura are not so easy to fade, but they are losing their effect. This is enough to prove that Sargeras's failure was not the sad fantasy he had before he was killed by Dark Titan's sword.
Sargeras really lost.
Moreover, he fell into a situation where he could not control his power, which directly caused Diakum to continuously break through the suppression of Annihilation's sword marks with the blessing of Dawn's Light.
Until he recovered enough to go to the disaster place, Vigilant did not hesitate.
He entered Voidform, transformed into Devourer of Worlds, propped up Shadowed Heart as a shield, and ventured into the Arcane and Fel in front of him In the black hole intertwined by. A moment later, the embarrassed Diakum was like dragging a frozen corpse out of the snowy mountains, dragging a huge creature whose life or death was unknown and walked out of it.
He dragged the guy until he reached a position where he was not affected by the force black hole, then stopped, dropped the broken leg in his hand, and looked back at Sargeras behind him.
Dark Titan is just tough enough.
His divine body had been broken into pieces more than a kneaded instant noodle, but this guy actually still maintained a weak consciousness, which meant that he felt all the pain inflicted on him by the black hole formed when the two forces of force clashed.
There are still scars left on Sargeras's head where Twilight's Hammer hit him, and there are also battle scars on his face where Ashbringer cut him open.
These two Pathblades are also getting better and can be "stamped" on Sargeras!
From now on, when you sit at the same table with other magical weapons, you are not allowed to take them out and brag about them for tens of thousands of years?
Moreover, no matter how impatient you are with other magical weapons, you still have to listen carefully.
After all, at least in this cosmic system, there is no glorious achievement that is more valuable than this record.
"Don't look at me like that."
Diakum sighed and said:
"I am not here to save you, but to completely destroy your body and let you go to the place where you should go as a lonely ghost. If you can return from there on your own, maybe you can regain the power you once had, or even reach a higher level.
You know, your failure is not that you are not strong enough, but that we caught your the One weakness."
Sargeras lay there without speaking, just scanning the black hole of the Force in the distance with an indifferent gaze.
Diakum was not in a hurry, and sat down next to him, calling on Dawn's light to continue cleaning up the remaining Annihilation sword marks, until at a certain moment, Dark Titan said dumbly:
"Well done. If you could accomplish this feat alone, it would earn you all my respect. Unfortunately, you can't do it alone."
"I admit, I will have to practice for at least a few thousand more years before I can face you alone without being defeated."
Vigilant said:
"You asked me to find all the help I could find to face you. I know that is a correct suggestion. Major events related to the future of the world cannot be determined by my temper. In the face of the well-being of all people, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing a personal sense of honor for a moment.
The most important thing is that because your gold content is so high, even if you win a group fight, it is enough to make it a legend that will last forever.
But I'm still curious.
You clearly know that walking into Fel while retaining the body of Titan is a huge hidden danger, why didn't you abandon it in the past so many years?
The power of Fel you control is enough to create a Fel body that truly suits you.
That is the container that the Lord of Destruction should have. Even if Fel tries his best to transform your Titan body, it still cannot erase the Arcane mark hidden in it. You embraced Fel but did not fully embrace Him.
So much so that everything you do is like Arcane Force playing a wonderful "borrowed chicken to lay an egg", using Fel's destruction to create the galaxy of order that Arcane longs for.
But is that really the case?
I'm curious, would a guy like you be willing to become a pawn of the Force?"
"Not really, there aren't that many conspiracy theories."
Sargeras denied in an incredibly calm tone:
"It's hard for me to explain to you, maybe because I haven't thought about it clearly myself. You are right, I have a weakness that anyone with a discerning eye can see, like a metronome that is not firm enough, swinging between order and destruction.
Although he has embraced the power of destruction, he still wants to use this power that can only shape disaster to pave the way to order.
Maybe it's because I've seen real despair.
Destruction is a means of giving final dignity to the desperate, and it is not evil."
"But in your eyes, no matter how well-interpreted destruction is, it cannot compare to the beauty of order. I can only say that you Titans are living a miserable life."
Vigilant sighed:
"You are like this, Aggramar is like this, Eonar is like this.
I didn't participate in their Judgment vs. Aman'Thul, but I guess the same is true for Aman'Thul.
You always feel that the birth of order requires sacrifice, but you have never thought that order is never something that can be given by the gods. It is just a seed that needs to be maintained by everyone. It is precisely because it will bloom and bear fruit under the joint participation and care of everyone that it is precious enough.
You are born as gods, but you cannot understand the laws of the movement of this sea of stars. You most want to do everything yourself, without considering the participation of others.
But you don't have the ability to smooth everything with your hands, so disaster happened.
That's all, you have your own moral principles.
Even if I say so much, I can't make you know how to turn back. You don't have to look back, and you don't want to look back. I just want to tell you.
You are about to be sealed, Sargeras.
It's going to be a long confinement."
Diakum stretched out his hand and placed it on Dark Titan's broken shoulder.
With the application of Noon Sun, the broken star body begins to melt rapidly, and Eclipse is watching eagerly. It will act as the final processor and permanently engulf Sargeras's broken Star-Shattering Swordsmanship body, making it impossible to retrieve its own container.
"Your immortal soul will be sent by me to a place where I can "cure" you, where a distinguished physician is waiting."
Dick said:
"After you go, remember to say hello to Chief Creator for me. He will completely peel off the influence of Arcane for you, so that you can truly embrace the destruction of Fel wholeheartedly and become the kind of "Lord of Destruction" that the demons need.
They need you, Sargeras.
The demons will face the most terrifying extinction in Twisting Nether.
If you don't show up, they will be uprooted by other forces, and the entire Twisting Nether will be completely torn apart.
But that's not what I want.
What I want is the balance of the Force. The complete collapse of Fel will cause even worse shocks to the Force system.
So, you are going to be detained.
After you fully embrace Fel, you will no longer be able to leave Twisting Nether, but I think if your morality has not faded, you can accomplish everything you want to do even in Twisting Nether.
When the army of destruction appears again in the Material Star Sea, those in the light will also take up arms again."
"Just wishful thinking!"
In the scorching heat caused by the star body being melted, Sargeras sneered and said:
"The Force will never be as balanced as you wish. It is the instinct of every Force to desire to devour others and win the dispute. It is a high table with six chairs, but in the end there will only be one winner who takes all.
What you are fighting against is Terminus, which will eventually come to this universe, and that is an outcome heavier than the destruction of all things."
"I don't care."
Vigilant smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"I have defeated you. If there is anyone in this sea of stars who is blind and tries to jump out and stir up troubles and destroy the balance, then I will not hesitate to show him or her the power of Dawn God-Sword.
Don't worry.
They may indeed want to dominate the galaxy.
But please believe me, when they really take that step. No, they don't dare!"
"But even you can't be forever"
"I don't need eternity, Your Excellency, I just need to persist until "The Seventh" wakes up. Only she is the judge and Judgment of this galaxy.
As for me.
I'm just a passing Warrior of Light, and the future of this galaxy will ultimately be decided by you."
PS:
This update is over, and the twenty chapters with changed word count have also been concluded. The remaining five chapters are for the brothers who have been insisting on correcting my mistakes. Considering the number of typos I have made that are hopeless, the addition of these five chapters is absolutely necessary and absolutely worth it.
But since I don't have any manuscripts on hand at the moment, I won't add the last five chapters on the 21st. If I save them in the next few days, I will add them randomly.
In addition, since it is not the end of the month after the end of the main text, and I still want to ask for full attendance this month, the subsequent "postscript" and "extra" may be released in one or two chapters per day.
Most likely it will be one chapter a day.
This will last until the end of the month, allow me to maintain full attendance in the last month, and get a little more "foolishness money". I hope everyone will forgive me.
Of course, it should be emphasized here that like all previous books, the postscript tells the short story of "Brotherhood of Shadows" and some subtle hints of the next book. Brothers who are not interested in this will not affect the perception of the main text if they do not subscribe. The extra chapter is a summary of some undescribed branches in the main text, such as the whereabouts of Nathrezim, such as the dwarf's War of the Three Hammers, etc.
If these branch plots were included in the main plot of the final volume, it would seriously slow down the pace, so they were placed in the extra chapter.
