Since the death of Helya, the fog near the entrance of Helheim has dissipated. Under the order of Odyn, the Vrykuls have reoccupied this land and made those Vrykul who believe in Helya believe in Odyn again - using violence.
Just out of fear of Helya, Vrykuls generally don't get too close to the entrance of Helheim. They can only see some ghosts wandering here, and some anxious-looking Val'kyrs are chasing these wandering souls.
After Val'kyr saw Odyn, they all flew down to salute him, and then continued to chase the ghosts. Odyn noticed Aaron's doubts With his eyes, he explained, "These dead souls are those captured by Helya before. Val'kyr have been trying to appease them, but the effect is not very good. It has been several years and there is still no progress."
Seeing these Val'kyr also means that the entrance to Helheim is not far away. After crossing the portal stabilized by Odyn, you enter Helheim.
Onyxia, who set foot on this land for the first time, couldn't help but shudder. As the descendant of Earth-Warder, Onyxia was still able to communicate with the land even though he had been affected by Old Gods. As a result, he was startled by this land soaked in the power of death. "It is really rare for a land to die so completely."
Aaron ignored Onyxia. He focused all his attention on the figure in the center of Helheim. Since the death of Helya, this independent plane has shrunk a lot. Standing at the entrance, you can see the whole picture clearly, including the Kel'Thuzad that Aaron wants to find this time.
The mage robe on Kel'Thuzad's body was in tatters, and his hair was extremely dirty, but Kel'Thuzad's eyes exuded a strange brilliance.
If the mage of Dalaran has deep enough knowledge of Arcane, the blue-purple light of Arcane will emit from his eyes, Rhonin, Jaina, Antonidas, including the previous Kel'Thuzad, are all like this. However, the eyes of the current Kel'Thuzad are emitting a dark blue light. If I must say it, it is somewhat similar to the previous Helya. This is obviously not a good sign.
If Aaron hadn't been able to sense the breath of life on Kel'Thuzad, he would have doubted whether this master had transformed himself into Undead through research.
Kel'Thuzad, who was concentrating on his own research, did not notice the appearance of Aaron. Odyn also stopped Val'kyr from coming forward to greet him. Instead, he and Aaron got closer to Kel'Thuzad to observe his actions.
A dead soul whose original appearance cannot be seen is being imprisoned in mid-air by Kel'Thuzad's spell. Kel'Thuzad is constantly using the power of Arcane to construct runes one by one. These runes are suspended around the dead soul and gradually surround him. As these runes are formed, the dead soul gradually calms down from a state of constant struggle and roar.
When Kel'Thuzad finished casting the spell, the dead soul became completely quiet. There was no longer the violence and hostility in his eyes, replaced by a lake-like sense of calm.
"It's amazing," Aaron saw that Kel'Thuzad's work came to an end and said, "What did you do to this guy?"
"Aaron? Why are you here?" Kel'Thuzad came to his senses and immediately explained to Aaron, "I found that my previous research was just studying behind those Orcs, and competing with each other's magic power."
When Kel'Thuzad said this, he pointed at the dead soul in front of him and said proudly to Aaron: "What I am currently researching is to fundamentally solve the threat of Necromancy, and what you see is my latest success."
"So what did you do to this dead soul?" Aaron looked at the dead soul that had completely calmed down in front of him curiously. This dead soul gave Aaron a very strange feeling. It had neither the breath of life nor the power of death.
Kel'Thuzad lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Aaron, "Aaron, do you know the power of death? I found that the reason why Undead shows their various characteristics, including their aggression towards living things, is because of this power."
Seeing Aaron nodding to show that he understood, Kel'Thuzad continued, "But Undead does not only rely on this kind of power to exist. Look at Val'kyr, what supports their existence is Holy Light's power, but is the power of death or any other power necessary? I was wondering if I could remove the power of death from Undead's body and see what would be left in the end. This is the result, a pure soul."
"Wouldn't Necromancy just peel out the soul directly?" Aaron scratched his head. He didn't know much about spells, but he only had some basic impressions.
"Psychic Su did strip away the soul, but it injected the power of death into the soul," Kel'Thuzad continued, "What I am doing now is to clean up the power of death that will entangle the soul and return the soul to its most original form."
"But what's the use of this?" Aaron couldn't understand and could only continue to ask.
Kel'Thuzad shook his head and said to Aaron, "Don't you understand? Eliminating the influence of the power of death can free these Undead from control."
"But, I can do it too?" Aaron understood what Kel'Thuzad meant, but did this approach really mean anything? He could just as well purify Undead by using Holy Light himself. Kel'Thuzad, wouldn't this make it more troublesome?
"How many Undead can you purify at one time? Look at me!" Kel'Thuzad glared at Aaron. Even if he had a good relationship with Aaron, he could not tolerate Aaron being so contemptuous of his research results, so he decided to open Aaron's eyes.
After making the decision, Kel'Thuzad began to recite the incantation while continuing to carve runes. However, this time the runes covered an unusually large area, almost covering the entire Helheim. All the souls enveloped in it stopped their restless movements and gradually turned into the same appearance as the previous Undead.
"Okay, awesome!" Aaron didn't know what to say other than praise at this time. It turns out that Kel'Thuzad can solve one Undead better than a group of Undead at the same speed?
Kel'Thuzad showed a slightly regretful expression. "So many experimental materials are all gone."
Aaron saw this and said, "Isn't it just experimental material? Come with me, I tell you, there is not much else out there now, Undead is indispensable."
"Really?"
"Really," Aaron looked at Kel'Thuzad's movements and continued to persuade, "Don't you want Dalaran to see your research results? Come with me."
