From the moment he was imprisoned here, Arygos kept asking himself:
How much longer can I hold on?
He couldn't hold on much longer, because even though the Old Gods C'Thun hadn't escaped, his mental seduction and whispers were still so irresistible and so tormenting, leaving him powerless to resist.
He thought of his father, Malygos, the Aspect of the Blue.
Malygos was driven mad by Deathwing.
Malygos went mad the moment Deathwing Devastation almost all the blue dragons.
But now he understands:
It's not just that.
Malygos was so powerful and wise. Even though the annihilation of his race tormented him, he and some other blue dragons survived, along with a large number of blue dragon eggs. New blue dragons will appear in the future.
Why go crazy?
Now he realized that what truly drove Malygos mad was the Old Gods.
Another Old Gods: Yogg-Saron.
According to ancient legends, Yogg-Saron is stronger than C'Thun.
But even the weaker C'Thun is still a Titan Keepers; how could I possibly be qualified to fight him?
Once he understood this, Arygos began to give up.
If it weren't for his two companions with him, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on!
Now, there is new hope.
The great battle above could not escape his senses. He knew that the Scarab Wall had collapsed, that Anachronos had led a new coalition into Ahn'Qiraj, and that his incompetent kinsman " Kalecgos," as well as the more powerful Azuregos, had all arrived.
But he was even more worried.
During his time here, he and his two companions had been studying the Qiraji and C'Thun, learning about their weaknesses and their schemes, such as sacrificial rituals.
But he couldn't tell anyone outside, because C'Thun's power kept everything at bay.
Arcane, mental power, and even the power of dreams cannot reach this place.
This is the world of C'Thun.
The only way is to defeat C'Thun.
But they were powerless to do anything and could only hope for outsiders.
The dragons could not possibly come here, because if they did, they would be bound by the power imposed on the three of them, and their fate would inevitably be the same as theirs.
But besides the dragons, who else could break through the numerous blockades, defeat the Twin Emperors whom even they couldn't contend with, and arrive here?
Arygos filled with despair once more.
Until a figure appeared in front of him.
"Humans?"
Arygos's eyes widened. "Humans? Not Night Elf, not Troll, not the Wild Gods, but humans?"
He couldn't understand it!
How could someone from those insignificant humans who typically don't live past a hundred years have actually come here?
Even the Twin Emperors couldn't stop him?
Even C'Thun's mental world couldn't trap him?
this...
How is that possible?
Looking at Arygos, who had taken human form and was bound by a strange energy, Jiang Jie chuckled and asked, "Why not?"
Arygos was choked and speechless.
Yes, why not?
Humanity is also a descendant of the Titan-forged, having given birth to heroes like Emperor Thoradin. Can't they give birth to someone even stronger?
Mortals can surpass dragons in some ways. Some of the spells of the Dalaran mages are so powerful that even the blue dragons are amazed. Why be so surprised?
"I sense the power of the Wild Gods within you, and also the power of Ysera."
Arygos's companion, Ysera's Merithra, also in human form, looked at Jiang Jie and said, "Human, you were actually blessed by both Ysera and the Wild Gods? Only Malfurion among mortals has received such an honor! Human, tell me your name!"
" Nicholas Jiang, Grand Duke of Stromgarde, Supreme Commander of the Kalimdor Allied Forces, Commander-in-Chief of the Battle of Ahn'Qiraj. I am a student of Cenarius, Eranikus, Krasus, Kalecgos, and Chromie."
"They're all my friends, Malfurion is one too." Jiang Jie chuckled, then raised his fist. "Now, I've come to save you!"
boom!
A punch imbued with powerful Holy Light energy struck heavily on the halo binding the ancient dragon.
The aura filled with Shadow energy didn't last even a second before being easily destroyed.
With all three light rings shattered, the three ancient dragons finally broke free from their thousand-year imprisonment and regained their freedom.
"You used Holy Light?"
Korialstrasz, son of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, who had remained silent until now, suddenly asked, "Not just Holy Light! You also possess shadow, demonic Fel, earth, fire, water, and wind, the forces of nature, and a strange energy that seems to originate from life itself! Your state... is unprecedented!"
"Only an unprecedented combination of energy could possibly defeat C'Thun, wouldn't you say?"
Jiang Jie smiled, then said seriously, "So, tell me now: you haven't wasted these past thousand years. You must have figured out a way to deal with C'Thun, right?"
The three ancient dragons exchanged a glance, then Arygos nodded and said, " C'Thun cannot be killed, at least neither you nor we can. The only way is to destroy the part of him that escaped from the Titans Prison, then reinforce the Titans Prison and seal the unstable cracks! We know where the problem lies, but we don't have the authority!"
"Permissions?" Jiang Jie taken aback.
"Yes, the authority, the authority to the Titans Prison, an authority only the Titan Keepers possess."
Arygos said helplessly, "But it seems like the Titan Keepers are all having problems. We can only eliminate the parts of C'Thun that escaped first, then disrupt the sacrificial ritual and slaughter as Qiraji as possible. As soon as a few more C'Thun escape, we'll eliminate them one by one!"
The other two ancient dragons nodded in agreement.
It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, but there's no other way.
Where can I find the Titan Keepers?
" Titan Keepers? Anveena, it's your turn to do the work!" Jiang Jie chuckled.
Anveena flapped her wings and separated from Jiang Jie's body. Then she raised her hand, and an ancient yellow staff appeared in her hand.
The " Prehistoric Staff," whose real name should be " Staff of Ironaya," is the scepter of Ironaya, the " Lesser Titan Keepers."
Anveena inherited not only her position but also her power.
"Brother, I sensed the locations of Archaedas and Ironaya. The Titans Prison deep underground was built by them!" Anveena said.
"Then, the mission of repairing Titans Prison is entrusted to you."
Jiang Jie strode towards the Temple of C'Thun: "As for the part of C'Thun that escaped, leave that to me!"
