Turning His Own Spear Against His Own Shield
Soaring through the air, the Raven of Chaos almost blended into the night, and the energy fluctuations emanating from it were so suppressed by its tiny size that they were nearly imperceptible. The four elemental pseudo-kings who were engaged in battle couldn't help but wonder—where did Azathoth go?
However, at this moment, all four elemental pseudo-kings were unleashing their ultimate attacks indiscriminately, constantly inflicting and being damaged. They had no way to stop and search carefully. Moreover, in their view, since everyone was using indiscriminate attacks across the entire screen, anyone nearby would definitely be hit. Thus, the battle showed no signs of stopping.
Azathoth, suspended in mid-air, was quite pleased with this happening. He was simply waiting for the 24 hours to pass, at which point he could—
Suddenly, a light appeared in the distance, piercing the darkness before dawn and revealing its form. The sun in Draenor is golden and looks particularly dazzling.
Xiao Yu checked the time one last time: 23 hours and 57 minutes, right now!
With a flap of its wings, the Raven of Chaos shot towards the massive crystal on the Throne of the Elements like an arrow, easily passing through the gaps between the four Elemental Pseudo-Kings, dodging the whistling lightning and flames, and landing on the Throne of the Elements.
"The Scepter of Elemental Domination —it's mine!" Xiao Yu was overjoyed. At this moment, the 24-hour time limit had finally been reached.
He placed his hand directly on the crystal, feeling the protective force around it gradually crumbling under the impact of his will.
[System notification: You are being crowned the Elemental King -- Time remaining: 60 seconds.]
(Damn it, it takes sixty seconds to open this crystal? Are you kidding me?!) Xiao Yu was extremely anxious. If he had protected the Throne of the Elements, 60 seconds would have been nothing. He could have opened the crystal safely under the protection of his many subordinates. The problem was that under the current circumstances, there was no way he could finish the 60-second loading time.
Sure enough, at that moment, the elemental pseudo-kings above also immediately noticed Azathoth, who had transformed into the Raven of Chaos. Seeing that the Raven of Chaos was activating the crystal, they each unleashed a powerful attack.
Small creatures may be inconspicuous and easy to hide, but they are also easier to Execute. Therefore, Xiao Yu did not dare to fight them head-on. He flapped his wings and took flight, and the coronation was interrupted.
Flame Shockwave! Ragnaros reacted swiftly, sending the other three Elemental Pseudo-Kings staggering with a Shockwave before Ragnaros at the crystal on the Throne of the Elements.
Ragnaros (Firelord): "Haha, the Elemental King is mine!" His words were barely out of his mouth when a sudden embarrassment crossed his face—what?! It takes 60 seconds!
Forget 60 seconds, he was sent flying in less than 6 seconds by Neptulon's Iceberg Throw. Neptulon rushed up, but the same thing happened to him. Several elemental pseudo-kings fought over the crown, and none of them could successfully claim it.
Seeing this from mid-air, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh. It seemed there was no way to cheat at this. Thinking about it, it made sense; if it were that easy to succeed, it would be too childish. The instructions for the Elemental King Ceremony stated that one must defeat the other Elemental Lords and defend the Throne of the Elements. It seemed that to become the Elemental King, a decisive battle was necessary—perhaps he could use the **** attack move: Old God Form + Chaos Barrier + Gravity Barrier, falling directly from the sky and smashing them on the head.
However, after seeing that the four elemental pseudo-kings all had more than 20 million HP, Xiao Yu decisively shook his head. The move he used back then was already the limit, as Houtu had already lost a lot of HP and only had a few million HP left. Now, each of the opponents had more than 20 million HP, and there were four of them. He could only kill one at most, and if he fell into the crowd, he would be focused down and killed.
He flew through the air, lost in thought.
The problem is that to obtain the Scepter of Elemental Domination and be crowned the Elemental King, it is necessary to spend 60 seconds activating the crystal and completing the coronation ceremony. However, under the attack of the Elemental False King, it is impossible to maintain focus. To succeed, one must use a restriction skill to control them for 60 seconds, or use a defensive skill to withstand their attacks for 60 seconds.
Ordinary control skills, such as Frost Nova and Petrifying Ray, are basically ineffective against enemies of the Elemental Lords level. Simulated Black Hole can control them for more than ten minutes, but the skill range is too small, so it's probably good if it can control one enemy at most.
If he tries to tank the damage with defensive skills, his strongest Chaos Barrier only has a durability of a little over two million, so it can probably only last for a dozen seconds. In that case -- wait a minute!
Xiao Yu suddenly thought of a plan, but it was so astonishing that it was hard to say whether it would succeed.
He quickly pulled up the skill bar to check the skill descriptions.
Chaos Barrier: Uses the Power of Chaos to create a protective barrier to protect oneself, absorbing damage equal to 20% of one's health. In this state, all damage received will be absorbed by the Chaos Barrier, and one is immune to all negative effects such as stun, freeze, burn, and slow. Cooldown: 60 minutes.
Simulated Black Hole: Creates a temporary black hole that sucks in all targets around it, rendering them immobile and causing continuous damage. Units sucked into the black hole will undergo a physical strength assessment; if they fail the assessment, they will be crushed and likely die. Cooldown: 60 minutes.
If the Chaos Barrier were activated and one were sucked into a black hole, would one still be able to move freely? A whimsical thought popped into Xiao Yu's head.
He truly had no idea the answer to this question, because he had never experienced what it felt like to be sucked into a black hole, but for now, he had no choice but to take the plunge.
There is only one way to become the Elemental King!
With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth, circled twice more in the air, found a good spot, and fired a Simulated Black Hole at the Throne of the Elements.
The four elemental pseudo-kings had already discovered his Raven of Chaos, so they were on guard this time. As soon as they saw the Simulated Black Hole flying over, they all dodged.
Ragnaros (Firelord): "Haha, missed!"
The black hole crashed down onto the Throne of the Elements, instantly covering the massive crystal on it. The crystal was sucked in. At the same time, the Raven of Chaos flapped its wings and swooped down the instant it flew out of the black hole, activating the Chaos Barrier and transforming into a black sphere the size of a basketball. Like a cannonball, it hurtled towards the black hole.
