First the Trash Talk, Then the Battle

At this moment, all the bosses also rushed up the path of Ashes, lined up, and confronted the God of Holy Light and his hero bosses. Meanwhile, the monster army behind them surged in like a tide, fighting with the adventurers on both sides.

The battles between the adventurers and monsters didn't seem to affect the two sides in the middle. Despite having so many powerful bosses and heroes, none of them were foolish enough to come looking for death.

After the two sides faced each other, they did not immediately start fighting.

These characters, out of habit, still have to engage in a verbal exchange when they meet.

Thrall: "Stop making excuses, God of Holy Light —or should we call you Li Mingfei? The truth has already been told to us, and you said it yourself."

Varian Wrynn (King of Stormwind City): "The blood debt of the Alliance is destined to be repaid by you. No one can decide the fate of humanity, not even a god..."

Kael'thas (Prince of the Blood Elf): "Today I will avenge my people; the blood of the Sin'dorei will not be shed in vain."

Illidan (the Betrayer): "Even the gods cannot toy with my fate. I was imprisoned for ten thousand years in that dark and gloomy dungeon, where I endured the torment of despair. Today, I will make you taste the bitterness of despair."

Sylvanas (Queen of Undercity): "I have endured so much suffering, all because of you. Today is the day to end it all."

Arthas (The Lich King): "Frostmourne is hungry!"

Faced with the questions from the bosses and heroes, Li Mingfei was at a loss for words. His gaze swept over everyone and landed on Shen Yuan.

"It was you, it was you who did this?" Even if he was slow to realize things, Li Mingfei had figured out the key point: it was probably the truth he had revealed during his conversation with Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was standing on the Overlord's body at that moment. When the God of Holy Light asked this question, he immediately became the focus of all the adventurers. Everyone was curious about who could make the God of Holy Light lose his composure, and why the two seemed to know each other so well.

Shen Yuan burst into wild laughter, "Hahahaha, Li Mingfei, your rule is finally coming to an end today! The Sky World should not be controlled by scum like you. Today I will bring true freedom to this world. They can finally have the opportunity to control their own destiny. Don't you understand? No one likes having their fate arranged by others."

Li Mingfei was furious. "Freedom? You're talking to me about freedom? You think you can?! Hmph, I've already sent people to arrest you. You should know that in this day and age, no one can completely hide themselves. Soon, you'll be in jail. Then you can talk to me about freedom."

Shen Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, seemingly unsurprised and even unnerved. "I know why you're so confident. The Sky Group is incredibly wealthy and probably has some influence over the government. But I'm afraid you won't get your way, old friend. I've already arranged everything. No one can catch me. This will all be over soon. For the sake of our old friendship, I advise you to surrender and leave the game as soon as possible, or it will be too late."

Xiao Yu, listening from the side, was puzzled. Why should Li Mingfei quit the game? At most, he had only defeated Li Mingfei in the game; why would Li Mingfei quit? And what did "too late" mean?

He vaguely sensed something was amiss.

Li Mingfei, however, remained completely oblivious to the impropriety, believing it to be Shen Yuan's bluff. "Hahaha, you're too naive. I have the help of adventurers, immortal adventurers! What can you do to me?"

"Adventurers are immortal, but you are not. I only need to kill you."

The God of Holy Light let out an echoing laugh, "Kill me, kill the supreme god of this world? Foolish mortal, lowly ant, you are too naive, just as naive as you were before."

A cold glint flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes. "Then we'll see."

Li Mingfei then looked at Xiao Yu and Naiser, "I never expected that you two would betray me as well, especially you, Azathoth. I gave you so many benefits, why! Why did you betray me!?"

Xiao Yu shrugged. "Sorry, buddy, I'm just playing a game. As a major villain, shouldn't I be going against the gods? Besides, the game doesn't say you can't attack the Pantheon."

Li Mingfei was speechless upon hearing this. (What he said makes so much sense that I have no words to refute it.)

"And what about you, Naiser? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your family for what you've done?"

Naiser also let out a burst of wild laughter, "Hahaha, I've already made up my mind, or rather, I have no way out. Rather than be a loser in reality, I'd rather be a god in this world. What family? I don't need to be beholden to them anymore."

Li Mingfei was furious again and was about to say something more when Deathwing became impatient.

"Enough with the nonsense! The God of Holy Light must die! Let's start the war!"

After saying that, he unleashed a breath of dragon's breath.

This dragon's breath seemed to be a signal; in an instant, both sides attacked simultaneously.

After a war of words, the outcome will ultimately be decided by force.

Shen Yuan shouted, "Then let's go, everyone! If you want to take control of your own destiny, now is the most crucial moment. Let's defeat the God of Holy Light and reclaim our freedom!"

Li Mingfei then gave the order to his men, "Fight! My warriors! The final battle has arrived! Slay all these traitors!"

With a command from Shen Yuan and Li Mingfei, the final battle began.

Previously, countless adventurers and monsters from both sides had already clashed, and now the bosses and heroes from both sides had finally begun their battle. First, there was a round of ranged attacks, with both sides' heroes and bosses unleashing their most powerful ranged skills at each other. Then the battle lines intertwined, and soon all the bosses and heroes were engaged in a chaotic melee, each seeking out their respective opponents.

"Die!" Jaina roared, unleashing Pyroblast towards the God of Holy Light. However, the massive fireball in mid-air was struck by an Ice Lance and exploded. Jaina stared in astonishment at Esmehalda —or rather, the Guardian Esmehalda.

Esmehalda (Guardian): "Greetings, Ms. Proudmoore. It's a shame we were once friends, but now you're my opponent. Surrender! You have no chance against the power of the Guardian."

Jaina (Queen of Theramore): "Hmph, magic isn't brute force. It's not about who has the greater strength. I seriously doubt whether you've mastered the true techniques of magic, young man. Before my magic, even the power of the Guardian cannot save you."

A humanoid figure made of Arcane energy Blink from the side, and an Arcane Blast nearly hit Jaina's outstretched hand.

Feierdenan (Arcane Master): "And what if I were included, Jaina?"

Jaina (Queen of Theramore): "Feierdenan, I didn't expect you to be a lackey of the God of Holy Light too!" Jaina said, still somewhat apprehensive. She was somewhat confident in a one-on-one fight, but a two-on-one was a different story.

"It's not a good habit to gang up on others. Come on, Jaina, let me fight alongside you." Medivh stepped forward and stood beside Jaina.

Medivh!? Esmehalda was startled when she saw the mysterious man before her. She was already wary of Jaina, so she was even more uneasy about someone as unfathomable as Medivh. However, she quickly regained her composure. She possessed the power of Guardian, and with Feierdenan's help, why should she be afraid of him?

"Then let's give it a try." Esmehalda said, suddenly swinging her staff.

Blizzard!

Although it was just a regular AOE spell, its power was amplified by the Guardian's strength, and a massive hailstorm swept across the land, freezing countless monsters into blocks of ice.

Frost Blast!

Bang bang bang bang! A series of explosions rang out, and countless monsters were blasted into icy, bloody fragments.

However, Jaina had already Blink to the side.

The four powerful spellcasters unleashed a barrage of spells, inflicting heavy casualties on the surrounding monsters and adventurers, while the four of them remained unscathed. It seemed they would have a long fight before their magic ran out.

The first battleground: Jaina + Medivh vs. Feierdenan + Esmehalda.

Meanwhile, the Ox, Dragon-Slaying Blademaster, accompanied by several Orcs heroes, approached Thrall.

Ox (Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint): "I'm sorry, Warchief. I'm only doing this for the money. Someone paid to take your life, so I've offended you today."

As he spoke, Ox brandished the Dragon Slayer's Blade in his hand.

High Overlord Saurfang (Warlord of Orgrimmar): "If you want to offend the Warchief, you'll have to get past me first! You scum of the Orcs, how dare you betray the Horde! Today I will end you once again!" High Overlord Saurfang stepped forward, wielding a giant axe.

High Overlord Saurfang is a god of war in the Horde, but Ox is not afraid. Li Mingfei once said that if he killed Thrall, he would become the new Warchief.

"What are you afraid of? There are only two of them. Let's all charge together!" With a roar, several Orcs heroes rushed forward, and the two sides clashed.

The second battlefield: Orcs heroes versus Thrall and High Overlord Saurfang.

Arthas then faced off against the Samat the Dracolich.

Arthas (the Lich King): "Samat, I never imagined you would side with the God of Holy Light. As a Lich, don't you find this ironic? I already know my fate has been manipulated. If you dare to stand in my way today, you will only face death. My Frostmourne can absorb souls; even if you are Lich, you cannot escape your fate. I promise I will not kill you easily; you will be tormented eternally within my Frostmourne."

Samat (Dragon Lich): "Come on, Arthas! If it weren't for the writers' favoritism, do you think you could have become the Lich King? With your meager abilities, you would have been killed by the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis long ago. And now you're still babbling on and on. You have no right to rule the Scourge. Let me end you, and then I will become the new Lich King!"

The Necromantic Lord appeared beside Samat. "Come, let me show you the true power of the Underworld, not your laughable Undead."

"Come, Arthas, this time we'll fight side by side." A figure in black robes appeared beside Arthas; it was Ner'zhul.

Arthas glanced at Ner'zhul with a complicated expression. "Then let's end this."

The third battleground: Ner'zhul + Arthas vs. Samat + Necromantic Lord.

On the other side, the five dragons of the Dragon Clan Covenant faced off against Onyxia and Nefarian.

"Haha, look who I see! Isn't this Onyxia? Long time no see!" said the Ancient Black Dragon Sirod excitedly.

Onyxia: "You dare challenge Deathwing's daughter."

"Haha, others may fear Deathwing, but I'm not."

"Who's calling my name!" A dark shadow swept over, and it was Deathwing who made his appearance.

"Damn it, this is bad!" The members of the Dragon Covenant immediately groaned inwardly. They had seen Deathwing fighting fiercely with the God of Holy Light and thought he wouldn't be able to get away for a while, but they didn't expect him to come over.

Dealing with these two smaller Dragon Covenant would be a sure thing, but dealing with Deathwing.

However, retreat was no longer an option at this point. They had to fight it out. The five dragons of the Dragon Covenant and the three black dragons of the Black Dragonflight, father and daughter, immediately clashed.

The fourth battleground: Dragon Covenant vs. Deathwing + Onyxia + Nefarian.

On the other side, Mofeitosi, Raymond, and other Alliance heroes faced off against Varian Wrynn.

Mofeitosi (Dragon Knight Lord): "Your Majesty, it is regrettable to meet you under these circumstances, but I must say, today we are likely to commit insubordination."

"Shut up, you traitors! You are not worthy to call the king the title!" Marshal Windsor and Duke Bolvar stepped up beside King Varian, both of them looking furious. Their fates in the original story were not good either, so they were full of fighting spirit.

The two sides then clashed.

Kael'thas Sunstrider faced Elena Sunstrider, Illidan and his Illidari Council faced the Demon Lord and their demon minions. Basically, it was a war between soldiers and generals, spellcasters and spellcasters, Warrior and Warrior, monsters and monsters, dragons and dragons.

Both sides possess numerous heroes and bosses, and the battle quickly reached a fever pitch.

However, the God of Holy Light, Shen Yuan, the Elemental King Xiao Yu, and several other key figures did not make a move.
