Sauron's Words Were Scientifically Sound

The moment the black hand caught the Ring, the entire Mount Doom trembled, and the scorching torrents surged violently, transforming into a fiery red eyeball.

In the center of the eyeball, dark power condensed into a vertical pupil, and a large black hand reached out from this darkness.

The One Ring was slipped onto his index finger, and his black vertical pupils transformed into a human form, clad in ancient, ferocious armor, with a sword at his waist and a black cloak hanging behind him.

Russell rolled his eyes... The No-Face had no eyes; he opened his mouth and spat out an Orcs.

He'd bet twenty bucks that the armored man below, with his impressive entrance, is definitely Lord Sauron!

"Russell... Russell!?"

Frodo's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. Sauron had obtained the One Ring, and Sauron had personally delivered it to him. He had become a sinner in Middle-earth.

"Don't overthink it, none of this has anything to do with you..."

Russell opened his mouth wide and threw an Orcs at Sauron, continuing, "Sauron isn't a fool. Only Mount Doom can destroy the One Ring. If I had such a fatal weakness, I would definitely be camping out day and night. It's just that we've been too naive."

He initially wanted to say that he would blow up Mount Doom if it were him, but then he thought that without Mount Doom a target, both humans and elves would try their best to hide the One Ring, and Sauron's chances of finding it would be extremely slim.

Russell figured Sauron probably thought the same thing. The image of Gandalf's wise, white-bearded, smiling face popped into his mind. He opened his mouth and threw out two Orcs. These old geezers were all wicked.

Rumble!!!

Lava surged and billowed, Sauron, standing on black mist, was lifted high by the lava, level with the giant stone bridge. He was burly and tall, about two and a half meters high with the spikes on his helmet.

Russell: "..."

I hate Maiar the most!

"Human mage... Russell, I have heard of your name. Your power is enough to destroy the world and earn the respect of anyone."

As he spoke, Sauron bowed slightly to Russell as a sign of respect.

He appears extremely polite, but that's only on the surface. Sauron is evil, powerful, and ruthless, his voice as metallic as a razor's edge, echoing through Mount Doom.

He expressed respect through words and actions, but his attitude remained condescending; his bow was a sign of superiority over the weak.

Moreover, as the victors, this praise felt more like an irony, a mockery of the Fellowship of the Ring's intelligence!

Russell said nothing more, leading Frodo away from the unbearably hot torrent, and once again threw the Orcs at Sauron.

"Russell, I once told you that if you submitted to the One Ring, I could give you power, strength, wealth, life... everything in the world. But you refused."

Sauron paused, then continued, "Now, you can choose again; my promise remains valid."

Sauron stared intently at Russell, his eyes beneath his visor like two black holes, swirling and devouring light. He ignored Frodo, completely disregarding him; without the One Ring, the Ringbearer was a joke.

Can it increase physique?

Just as Russell was about to open his mouth to mock him, Frodo suddenly shouted, "Russell, don't talk to him! I've worn the One Ring and I know what it feels like. He's tempting you. When you submit, you will no longer be yourself, and everything will be over."

It's unclear where Frodo the courage, but after speaking to Russell, he turned around and roared at Sauron, "Sauron, your false strength is only temporary, you are destined to be defeated!"

Sauron was not angered, but gave Frodo a cold glance. "Ignorant Hobbits, light is only momentary, darkness is Eternity."

"Wrong!"

Frodo cried out, "Darkness will be driven away by light, just as evil can never triumph over good..."

At this point, he turned to Russell: "Russell, you think so too, right?"

Russell: "..."

I think what Sauron said makes a lot of sense... well, it has a lot of scientific basis: darkness is the main body of the universe.

Seeing that Russell did not respond, Frodo felt a chill in his heart.

The next second, Russell pressed down on Frodo's head, shielding him behind him, and smiled at Sauron, "The child is ignorant, please be patient with him. When he grows up, he will understand that justice and evil, love and affection, are all bullshit. Sharing the benefits is the only way."

"That's right!"

Sauron nodded, feeling even more favorably disposed towards Russell. They were both adults; constantly talking about good and evil was too hypocritical. It was only because his boss had suffered a defeat back then; otherwise, he, Sauron, would be a saint sung by all.

But it's not too late!

"Since you see it so clearly, I won't waste any more words. Let's continue our previous topic." Sauron was a man of great ambition, and Middle-earth was waiting for him to conquer. He had no time for beating around the bush and said directly, "Russell, put on the One Ring and become the new head of the Nine Rings. Whatever you want, I will give you."

Russell nodded, frowned and pondered for 1.5 seconds, his face showing a conflicted expression. "Well, suddenly changing jobs and switching sides is related to the future direction of my life. These days, you have to think carefully before changing jobs, let alone choosing sides. How about... I go back first and get back to you in a few days?"

Frodo nodded vigorously behind Russell's back; such important matters in life certainly require careful consideration.

"Snort!"

Sauron snorted coldly, drew his sword from his waist, his armored hand lightly stroking the blade, and slashed fiercely at Russell.

Whoosh!

The moment the black sword light struck, Russell and Frodo vanished from their spot.

[Skill Card: Teleportation (As the name suggests, it's gone in a flash, and gone again in a flash)]

The massive stone bridge was cut in two, and the cross-section was smooth and shiny, as if it had been polished over many years.

The two vanished into thin air. Sauron tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes piercing through the void to precisely spot Russell's figure. "The Black Gate... Gandalf is here too. Perfect, I'll deal with you both at the same time."

The Black Gate of Mordor!

The human alliance and the Orcs garrison of the Black Gate were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. The Orcs were numerous, and their ranks even included Ogres, deadly weapons of war. If the Fellowship of the Fellowship of the Ring had not been collectively enhanced by Russell, the human alliance would have been wiped out long ago.

Even though each member of the Fellowship of the Ring was capable of taking on a hundred men, they could only maintain a stalemate against the endless Orcs.

Gandalf looked anxious. The stalemate was only temporary. Once the soldiers were exhausted, the battle would become one-sided.

The key was the gaze of the Eye of Sauron, which had been shifted for some time. Gandalf felt uneasy, his eyelids twitching. His white robes' intuition told him that he was doomed.

Rumble!!!

The distant Mount Doom was exhibiting strange phenomena, and Gandalf gasped. For a moment, he truly sensed Sauron's presence, not the weak presence he usually had, but the powerful presence he had in his prime.

"Russell and Frodo failed..."

Without a second thought, Gandalf immediately whistled, summoning Great Eagles from the distant sky. The plan had failed; the allied forces of both nations would die in vain if left behind. They had to be rescued from danger as quickly as possible.

He estimated that the coalition forces still had about eight thousand men, and with four thousand Great Eagles, they could take them all away!

Whoosh!

A dark figure appeared out of nowhere, plopped down on Gandalf, and buried him alive.

"Something terrible has happened! Where is Gandalf? Where is he?"

That's all for today!
