Ultimate Creation

The Ranger in the Silver Covenant territory have assembled and are ready to depart at Sylvanas's command.

"General, it has been confirmed that the Regent of Quel'Thalas's son has indeed gone missing, and it happened in Dalaran."

"Bring me the map." The Ranger-General's voice was serious, but her expression brightened with excitement the moment she saw it. "Belorell disappeared in the direction of Dragonblight. My sister isn't stupid; she must have already sent people to look for him. Even if Dragonblight isn't a huge place, the Horde has many outposts and allies there. Finding an Elf boy shouldn't be difficult. The fact that there's still no news means that Belorell went somewhere they can't find, or somewhere they dare not look."

"A place you dare not look for? You mean..." a soldier asked.

Sylvanas was almost certain of the answer. She simply responded with a cold laugh. "Go to Wyrmrest Temple and see if my lovely nephew has made friends with the dragons."

The journey on the dragon's back offers an incredibly fast travel experience. The many affairs of the Forsaken must be temporarily set aside by Nathanos.

"Are you sure you're okay with what you're doing? I think after defeating the Lich King, the Forsaken should want their leader by their side at all times." After reverting to his black Infinite Dragon form, Malygos's voice rose to a thunderous pitch.

Nathanos was reassured about this matter; his brief absence would not Forsaken into disarray. Moreover, it was an experiment to see if the Forsaken, having lost their targets for revenge, would truly need a leader's guidance at all times, as Malygos had suggested.

"How much longer will it take you to pinpoint the exact timeframe?" Nathanos asked Malygos.

"That won't be easy," Malygos replied. "The five dragonflights know each other well, and the black dragon knows how to guard against someone like me who can travel through time at will. Obtaining that thing without anyone noticing will be very difficult." The Infinite Dragon had mentioned the key to this time travel, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you really confident?"

Don't you think my plan is utterly absurd?

"I do think so. How can you be so sure that Deathwing's experiment will succeed, and even if it does, how can you control it?" Malygos said. "It's all baseless, just your speculation. If it fails, we're wasting our time; the day Chromatus awakens is fast approaching." Nozdormu's face was filled with worry and anxiety as he spoke.

"Do you have a choice?" Nathanos asked.

Malygos responded with a roar. They had arrived in Grim Batol of the Eastern Kingdoms. Magical energy surged from the Infinite Dragon's body. His wings flapped powerfully, channeling the magic that surrounded them. The magic formed ribbons of yellow sand like galaxies, and Malygos closed his eyes, sensing the vast river of time, searching for their destination—the future Grim Batol.

This was destined to be a strange adventure, but Nathanos was happy to see the fruits of his labor from a few years ago.

"Get ready," Malygos warned. Nathanos gripped the dragon scales around his neck. The Infinite Dragonlord opened a bronze-yellow portal, and its massive body carried Nathanos through it.

Inside the time tunnel, Nathanos could barely feel himself, except for the ability to speak. "Do you know about the Chromatic Dragon and the Twilight Dragon?"

"They are all our enemies," Malygos said. "Nefarian created the Chromatic Dragon. He used magical experiments to fuse the power of all dragons into one, but only Chromatus survived. The idea for the Twilight Dragon was proposed by Deathwing's consort, Sinestra. She fused the power of the Void Dragon into the Chromatic Dragon, making the experimental subjects more stable. The Twilight Dragon' attack on Wyrmrest Temple shows that her attempt was successful, but those Twilight Dragons did not possess the ability of the Chromatic Dragon to use the power of the five dragons; they only gained an advantage in battle by arbitrarily changing their ethereal forms."

"That's enough," Nathanos said.

"What is enough?" Malygos asked, puzzled.

The Witherer saw the lush green Twilight Highlands appear before him. He shook his head. On this land, he had faced life and death. "Chromatic Dragon are powerful, Twilight Dragon are stable. What do you think Deathwing will do?"

"It must be an attempt to combine the two advantages," Malygos said seriously, as he prepared to land, choosing a secluded spot with a clear view.

After Nathanos jumped off the dragon's back, he said, "My idea might be even crazier."

Malygos remained in his dragon form, looking down at the tiny figure below. "So, what are your thoughts?"

"I suspect the experiments on the Twilight Dragon may not be complete yet. From what you've said, the Twilight Dragon that appeared at the Wyrmrest Temple were only young dragons, with almost no adult dragons."

"Indeed," the Infinite Dragon said in a deep voice. "The only corpse lying beneath the Wyrmrest Temple is that of Twilight Whelp."

"Deathwing would never allow the results of his son's and spouse's experiments to stop there. Neither Chromatus nor the Twilight Whelp are perfect, so they are certainly not his final creations. His final creations are those that can end everything."

Malygos's large eyes narrowed. He shifted his gaze, glancing at Grim Batol, which stood proudly atop a distant mountain peak, a hint of fear in his expression. Then, he turned his attention back to Nathanos. "You just said the Twilight Dragon's experiments might not be complete yet? What would constitute completion? Does it mean the Twilight Dragon will still wield the power of the Guardian Dragons?"

Nathanos turned and looked up at Malygos. "I know this is a bold guess, but it's not an exaggeration. From Deathwing's perspective, what I'm saying is quite possible. Chromatus is indeed powerful, but its instability could be a weakness that defeats it. Twilight Dragon are stable in form, but they can't fully utilize the advantages of Chromatic Dragon. That corrupted dragon must be thinking about how to combine the strengths of Chromatic Dragon and Twilight Dragon." The Witherer paused for a moment, then added, "To achieve this, Deathwing will inevitably have to continue experimenting. He won't work on the Twilight Dragon. Nefarian's lesson has taught him that forcing other kinds of power onto a hatched living being will only cause the body to reject it, making the test subject unstable. So... he will work on the Dragon Egg."

"That's impossible. Every life form has its own immunity after it is born. Even a Dragon Egg will follow this natural law before the hatchling's body is formed."

What if a Dragon Egg was never meant to live?

Malygos surprised he couldn't utter a word. After a while, he managed to regain his composure. "Dragon Egg without life? What use is that?"

"A container!" Nathanos' Twilight stared directly at Grim Batol and said, "A container that can hold the power of the Guardian Dragons."
