Looking at the fallen Acherus: The Ebon Hold, the other falling Frost Wyrm, Gargoyle, and plague bats, and the annihilated Proto-Dragon and Vrykul dragon riders, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Jie's face.
The self-destruction of Acherus: The Ebon Hold was indeed very powerful, ten times more terrifying than Mannoroth's self-destruction.
Even ordinary Wild God, such as Ursol, would likely find it difficult to survive Ursol explosion of this magnitude.
They probably won't be killed outright, but they'll at least lose half their lives.
But Jiang Jie did not.
At the critical moment, with the Blessing of Tortolla, he transformed his Chi into Tortolla's True Form. By combining the three energies, which were infinitely close to the level of Demigod, and by relying on the powerful defensive capabilities of Tortolla's True Form, he managed to block the self-destruction.
Tortolla is probably the most formidable creature in the world in terms of defense.
In the War of the Ancients, so many Wild God perished, but it, with the strength of a single tortoise, managed to hold off the main force of the demon army. And when the war ended, it crawled out from the mountain of demon corpses, completely unharmed.
You should know that among those demons, there are countless Legendary, and there are even demons at the Demigod level.
But it actually managed to block it, only it consumed too much energy.
It even managed to withstand Archimonde's frenzied punches on Mount Hyjal. Although its tortoise shell eventually shattered and it had to stay on Mount Hyjal to recover, it was still incredibly formidable!
After all, Archimonde is a being capable of easily Devastation the entire Dalaran!
In fact, Jiang Jie had a better choice:
It transforms directly into Tortolla Form, which is the Turtle Form that almost no Druid choose, and its defensive capabilities are stronger.
But for some reason, he was quite resistant, so in the end he only evolved the Tortolla's True Form.
Fortunately, the self-destruction of Acherus: The Ebon Hold was far less devastating than Archimonde's punch, leaving him completely unharmed.
However, his Chi was severely depleted, leaving his middle dantian completely empty, having lost two-thirds of his Chi.
Looking at the vast swarms of Scourge flying units in the sky, Jiang Jie smiled slightly, then clenched his fist and attacked again.
On the ground, the most composed Archmage Modera, suddenly exclaimed, " The Acherus: The Ebon Hold is destroyed! The teleportation barrier has vanished! Open the portal immediately! Uther, should we retreat now, or gather more soldiers and fight the Scourge?"
Uther was not without temper. How could he not be furious after Arthas's Cheap Shot resulted in the loss of nearly two thousand warriors for the Northrend Expedition?
He gripped the holy hammer tightly and shouted, "Let's go! To the Vanguard Encampment in the south, and attack the Wrathgate!"
One hundred thousand Undead is nothing; Icecrown Citadel and the Wrathgate have at least one hundred thousand Undead, perhaps even two hundred thousand.
But in order to annihilate them, Arthas mobilized almost all of his flying forces. With Icecrown Citadel and the Wrathgate, how many Frost Wyrm and Proto-Dragon were left?
This is the best time to attack the Wrathgate.
The Wrathgate is Icecrown Citadel's strongest defense; once it's breached, you can directly attack Icecrown Citadel.
The final battle is about to begin!
"Master Modera, I need support from Dalaran! I mean direct support!" Uther turned to look at Modera.
Modera paused, then understood Uther's meaning. "Alright, I'll notify Ansirem immediately! Dalaran be able to fly to the Wrathgate in at most an hour!"
"Also, inform Master Krasus and request the assistance of the Red Dragonflight!" Uther added.
"We were notified half an hour ago!" Modera said, " Krasus and the Red Dragonflight are now near Dalaran!"
Uther nodded, then looked at Faol: "Teacher Faol, we need air support from Naxxramas! Also, the Grand Duke mentioned the new Lich King..."
" Uther, do what you want. The Forsaken support you wholeheartedly."
Faol said, "The first new Lich King that Nicholas and I have chosen is Thoradin!"
" Thoradin?"
Uther nodded and remarked, "He is the most suitable candidate."
With Nicholas around, even if Thoradin has ambitions, he has to keep them to himself! Jiang Jie's performance is terrifying; he can definitely be called "the number one person below Demigod "!
Arthas seemed to have guessed Uther's plan; the Scourge ceased its attack and instead retreated rapidly towards Icecrown Citadel and the Wrathgate.
With all the mages joining forces, portals opened one after another, and the warriors of the Northern Expedition quickly departed, as did the leaders, who mobilized their troops and gathered at the Wrathgate.
The final battle has begun!
In the sky, Jiang Jie ceased fighting and folded his wings, returning to the ground.
Faol approached, his Lich King's Armor automatically detaching and floating to Jiang Jie's side. " Nicholas, here you go."
"Not even a little bit reluctant?" Jiang Jie didn't rush to put it away, but looked at Faol with a smile on his face, " Your Faol, with it, your spiritual power will become stronger. You can influence more people invisibly, making them believe in the Holy Light. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
" Nicholas, if you don't put it away soon, I'm really going to change my mind!"
Faol shook his head and said, "Power is indeed something that can easily corrupt, but it is not what I pursue. The Holy Light will forever reside in my heart, and that will never change."
"You truly deserve respect, Your Majesty Faol. Those who can resist the temptation of the Lich King Armor are few and far between," Jiang Jie remarked, putting away the Lich King's Armor.
"If you give me the helmet too, I might not be able to resist the temptation."
Faol joked, then said, " Uther believes it's time for a new Lich King to appear!"
He wants a new Lich King to help him fight the Scourge, so that the Northrend Expedition suffer fewer losses in the final battle.
Jiang Jie laughed, "However, it won't be of much use. The Lich King can't directly control all the Undead; it will take time. Moreover, the Lich King can't control those Undead directly controlled by Arthas and Frostmourne; he must kill Arthas and destroy Frostmourne first."
Faol was taken aback. "Destroy Frostmourne? Isn't that a waste of a powerful artifact?"
"In Icecrown Glacier, the power of Frostmourne is far greater than that of the Apocalypse Demonic Sword."
Jiang Jie said meaningfully, " Frostmourne plus the Lich King Armor, I'm afraid even I might not be able to handle it! Forget it, this world only needs one Death Knight artifact for now... Frostmourne can be destroyed, and I'll reforge it when I'm strong enough!"
Faol nodded. "A wise choice. Power and authority are tempting, and the Forsaken's forces will be ten times stronger than Stromgarde! Thoradin is a great king, but whether he can resist this temptation, no one knows. The Lich King Armor and the Apocalypse Demonic Sword are both cursed, carrying a seductive power; we must be careful."
Jiang Jie nodded.
Temporary apprehension does not mean permanent apprehension.
Northrend is capable of dealing with the Lich King's power; it's not that it lacks the ability.
Once the crises of the Red Dragonflight, the Blue Dragonflight, and Ulduar are resolved, what is there to fear even if Frostmourne is given to King Thoradin?
The waters of this land are very deep!
