Overlord

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "No need for you to trouble yourselves. I've already decided on its name. The name of this Super Old Gods will be—[The Overlord]."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's name, everyone was taken aback. Naiser was the first to react, "Overlord? Why such a name?"

The name made everyone feel a little uncomfortable. They were the beings they had nurtured, yet they were called "Overlord"—what were they then?

Shen Yuan replied, "It's very simple. The greatest strength of the Old Gods lies in their powerful ability to control lower-level creatures. Y'Shaarj can induce negative emotions in humans to control living beings."

N'Zoth can infect and mutate the bodies of living beings, transforming them into creatures under his control.

C'Thun uses psychic abilities, directly controlling the minds of living beings.

Yogg-Saron, on the other hand, uses powerful magical energy to control and corrupt the energy within living beings.

It can be said that the Old Gods all possessed the ability to control other living beings.

Super Old Gods who combines the powers of four Old Gods would naturally possess even greater control, reaching an unparalleled level. Even elemental beings, Undead, and even constructs would likely be unable to resist such control.

Xiao Yu nodded to himself upon hearing this.

Elemental beings are immune to N'Zoth's flesh control, but not to C'Thun's Mind Control.

The Undead are immune to Mind Control, but not to flesh and blood control.

Although constructs are mechanical and neither Mind Control nor flesh control has any effect on them, constructs require energy to operate, and energy is Yogg-Saron's specialty, which makes them susceptible to energy corruption.

If there truly were a being capable of possessing the powers of the four Old Gods, then theoretically, there would be virtually nothing this being couldn't control—that is, after it had fully matured. Such a being would be aptly named "Overlord."

However, Xiao Yu felt uneasy and uncomfortable thinking about this. If this Overlord was so powerful, how were they, its creators, supposed to cope? What if the Overlord controlled them too?

Even if they can't be controlled, it would be ridiculous if the Overlord controlled enough subordinates to the point where things became too difficult to manage.

He was clearly not the only one with this thought; Medivh's face turned grave. "How can we guarantee we won't be devoured by such a powerful creature?"

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I was naturally prepared long ago. When I was nurturing it, I planted its genetic sequence, which ensures that it must never harm members of the Council of Sages and must never disobey my orders. This order is imprinted in its genes and cannot be disobeyed under any circumstances."

Upon hearing this explanation, Medivh and the others hesitated, but Xiao Yu, Naiser, and Merlin were the first to give up asking further questions.

To these real-world gamers, it's just a game after all. No matter how strong your control is, I can simply quit the game; there's nothing to worry about too much.

Seeing the three's attitude, Medivh and the others did not pursue the matter further.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Shen Yuan said, "Then let's set off."

One day later, in the desert ten kilometers away from the Caverns of Time, behind a huge sand dune hundreds of meters high, stood a massive obsidian portal.

This is a permanent Abyssal Gate built by Naiser with Medivh's help, a passage directly leading to the Nine Layers of Purgatory. Naiser could have used the Abyssal Gate lord skill to open a temporary portal to the Abyss to teleport troops, but lord skills have time limits. Even if no one destroys it, it can only teleport a few thousand demons at most before it becomes unusable.

A few thousand demons are clearly not enough to attack the Caverns of Time; at least thirty to fifty thousand would be necessary.

That's where Medivh came in handy. When it comes to the creation of portals, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Medivh was an expert in the Council of Sages. Back when the Orcs invaded the Sky World from Draenor, it was with Medivh's help that they were able to enter. And it was Medivh Gul'dan how to create the Dark Portal.

The technology used to create the Dark Portal was, strictly speaking, actually Eredar technology. When Sargeras subdued the two Eredar leaders, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, this technology fell into Sargeras's hands. When Sargeras Possession Medivh, the Eredar's magical and technological abilities also entered Medivh's memories.

With the Council of Sages's abundant resources, building an Abyssal Gate is no big deal now.

At this very moment, atop the hill, the seven members of the Council of Sages were looking down upon the ever-growing army of demons.

As the demons continued to emerge, their numbers became countless.

"Looks like there are around sixty or seventy thousand, right?" Xiao Yu asked Naiser.

Naiser shook his head. "Fifty thousand troops. Some demons are quite large, so they look like more. I'm not like you; I don't have such a large reserve. These fifty thousand Demon Lord already make up a quarter of my entire army."

Shen Yuan walked over at that moment.

"Kairoz, please give everyone some information about the Caverns of Time."

Kairoz nodded, unfolded a map in front of everyone, and began to explain.

"The Caverns of Time have only one entrance. See that rocky mountain range? That's where the Caverns of Time are located. At the end of the valley, there's a cave leading underground, which is the entrance to the Caverns of Time. Although it looks like it leads underground, the Caverns of Time are actually located in a unique space. There's a bronze Dragonspawn guard at the entrance to the Caverns of Time, about three hundred people, led by an ancient bronze dragon overseer. Overall, they're not difficult to deal with."

The real challenge lies in the protective barrier surrounding the Caverns of Time. This barrier is called the Time Barrier, the most powerful defensive magic of the Bronze Dragonflight. If the Caverns of Time is invaded by a powerful enemy and cannot resist, the monitors inside the Caverns of Time will activate the Time Barrier, pulling the Caverns of Time into another timeline. In this way, we will be completely unable to find the entrance to the Caverns of Time, and we will be faced with an empty cave.

Therefore, to successfully infiltrate the Caverns of Time, we must prevent the activation of the Time Barrier. This requires me and another sage to first infiltrate the Caverns of Time. When the demon army outside begins its attack, we will kill the monitors and guard the activation device of the Time Barrier. In this way, Naiser's Demon Lord can easily storm into the Caverns of Time."

"The second problem in seizing the Hourglass of Time is the Council of Time, which consists of twelve bronze dragons, including five Primordial Bronze Dragons and seven Ancient Bronze Dragons."

However, the Council of Time isn't always located in the Caverns of Time. Most of the time, only about a third of the Council of Time members Caverns of Time. With our strength, they shouldn't be difficult to deal with."
