Chapter 698: Seeing the t.i.tans Fighting Sargeras
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After boarding the stars.h.i.+p again, Roy was not in a hurry to leave the Void. Instead, he got Rafaro to find a random direction to fly in. As for how long he would fly, Roy didn’t tell him and only pondered by himself.
He had no other purpose in doing this. He just wanted to see if he had the luck to find another Void Lord in the Void.
Although Lilith had said that there were thirteen Void Lords in the Void, Roy had only found one so far. It was the black sun-like Void Lord that he and Sargeras had seen together. He only knew the location of this Void Lord.
The Void was too big. It existed in the background of all the worlds in the Infinite Worlds. Even if there were thirteen Void Lords, they might be extremely spread out in the Void. If Roy wanted to find another Void Lord in this universe, he might have to run more than half of the universe in the real world, which might be billions of light-years away.
Although Roy didn’t have much hope for this search method that relied on luck, he could organize the information he had obtained from Lilith during the search.
The system came from a creation divine artifact of the Creator, which Roy had never thought of before. If he had not encountered Lilith, he would have probably treated the system as a benefit for transmigrators, so he naturally wouldn’t have delved deeper into its origin.
When Lilith sent him out of the unique Enoch s.p.a.ce, she didn’t mention anything about Elune’s body. It seemed like she planned to let the body stay there. Roy guessed that she was probably interested in Elune’s body and wanted to study how the Eternals in this universe were created. Perhaps by tracing back to the source, she could see the thoughts of the Creator when he created the First Ones. Of course, this was only speculation. Perhaps she simply wanted someone to accompany her.
Roy had long known that Chaos power could confront the Void. But after hearing what Lilith said, he realized that this confrontation was probably not as simple as fighting the Void Lords. Perhaps it was simple to use Chaos power to eliminate the current Void Lords, but as long as the Void World existed, more Void Lords would appear. The existence of Void Lords would only accelerate the Void’s corrosion into the material world. It didn’t mean that the Void wouldn’t corrode the material world without them.
If Roy really wanted to fight against the Void, he had to spread Chaos power and fill the material world, forming a ‘hedge’ against the corrosion of the Void. Only then could the Void corrosion fundametally stop and finally form a balance with the material world, allowing the Void world to continue to serve as the background of the material world.
Although Roy was a demon, this mission did not distinguish between angels and demons. All beings of the material world had the obligation to carry out this mission to maintain the survival of the material world.
Or rather, Roy’s demon ident.i.ty was actually good for the proliferation of Chaos power because the proliferation of Chaos power required the tool ‘war’. After all, for any life in any world, war had always been the key to promoting the evolution of civilizations, and a demon didn’t need any reason or concern to start a war. From this point of view, it was more convenient than angels or creatures of the Order camp.
After thinking about it carefully, Roy fully understood what Lilith had said.
It just so happens that after returning, the time flux has completed the closed loop, so there’s no need to worry about the influence of the timeline! Roy concluded. I can partic.i.p.ate in the Burning Crusade more deeply, or I can start another one myself. With so many forces in this universe, it doesn’t matter if there’s a Chaos Legion. At that time, the more complicated the situation, the easier it will be for disputes to arise…
Roy no longer planned to stay in the Void. He controlled the stars.h.i.+p and brought Rafaro from the Void to the real world.
After Roy came out of the Void, what appeared in front of him was an unfamiliar starry sky. He didn’t know where he was, but it didn’t matter. He used his power to easily open a huge spatial portal in s.p.a.ce and got Rafaro to enter.
This spatial portal led to the s.p.a.ce outside Azeroth, and the teleportation only took a moment. But when the scene in front of Roy changed, before he could check the situation outside the cabin, he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from inside the stars.h.i.+p, and his feet shook slightly.
“What’s going on?” Roy asked Rafaro. “Did an asteroid hit you? Are there planets near Azeroth?”
“It’s not an asteroid, but… a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!” Rafaro’s response carried a strange emotion. “Master, look to the right.”
Roy turned and looked at the window on the right side of the s.h.i.+p. Then he saw a scene that dumbfounded him.
It was a beam of light, a beam of light that pierced through the sky and exuded powerful energy! It came from the distant cosmos, and at the end of this giant beam of light, an incomparably colossal demon was being pulled out from Azeroth below!
Roy was extremely familiar with this colossal demon. He rubbed his eyes and asked Rafaro, “Am I seeing things? Isn’t that Sargeras?!”
“Master, you aren’t seeing wrongly. It’s Sargeras…” Rafaro was speechless. “Who else could be such a big demon other than him?”
Roy flew to the front of the window and stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes. He immediately understood and asked Rafaro, “Rafaro, how long have we been in the Void?”
“According to Azeroth’s calendar, we stayed in the Void for a total of 1,926 days…” Rafaro replied.
“A little over five years…” Roy was surprised. “It’s been so long?”
Roy watched as the giant beam of light pulled Sargeras away from Azeroth and dragged him into the depths of the starry sky. When Sargeras was being pulled away, he was clearly roaring something with his mouth open, but no sound could be transmitted in s.p.a.ce, so Roy couldn’t hear him. But looking at his angry and unwilling expression, he could imagine it without even guessing.
As for Sargeras’s enormous sword, Gorribal, it was inserted into Azeroth, and the huge hilt was clearly visible even in s.p.a.ce.
Of course, Roy knew what this scene meant. This was the scene when the Burning Legion welcomed its end and the t.i.tans of the Pantheon captured and imprisoned Sargeras. But Roy didn’t expect to see this scene when he just returned.
“By the way, where was the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that hit you?” Roy asked Rafaro after returning to his senses.
In fact, there was no need for Rafaro to tell him. Roy quickly found the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. It was a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p s.h.i.+ning with the power of golden Holy Light. The moment he saw the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, he understood that it was probably the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p of the prophet Velen.
What was it called… the Vindicaar? It seemed to be this name.
The stars.h.i.+p Rafaro had transformed into was no longer the small and streamlined exploration s.h.i.+p but a giant s.p.a.ce carrier. Because it suddenly emerged from the spatial portal, the Vindicaar didn’t have time to avoid it and was directly struck by Rafaro’s side. Due to the disparity in size between the two, the Vindicaar was sent flying and was currently rolling in s.p.a.ce.
“Grab it!” Roy ordered.
A tractor beam shot out from Rafaro’s hull, enveloped the Vindicaar, and brought it back.
After the s.h.i.+p was captured, Roy soon saw the disheveled Velen in the cabin.
When Velen saw that the one who appeared in front of him was actually the third commander of the Burning Legion, Osiris, his expression changed drastically!
He didn’t expect the King of Despair to suddenly appear here!
d.a.m.n it! Didn’t he disappear again?! Why was his disappearance so short this time?!
Roy was full of doubts now, so he didn’t waste any time with this old man. He sucked him over, grabbed his head, and immediately began to read Velen’s memories.
Then he knew what had happened.
Roy had entered the Void at the end of the 27th year of the Dark Portal era. He had sailed in the Void for a long time, so when he returned, it was now the 32nd year of the Dark Portal era. During the time he wasn’t in the real world, many major events had happened on Azeroth and to the Burning Legion. Simply put, Roy’s return happened to coincide with the return of the Legion. Under Kil’jaeden’s command, the Burning Legion used countless stars.h.i.+ps to invade Azeroth. In the end, not only was Azeroth’s coalition army able to defend and fight back, but the coalition army even attacked the Legion’s headquarters.
In this war, Illidan played an unimaginable role. He knew the Legion well and led the anti-demon coalition army of Azeroth to victory after victory. Even the incarnation of Sargeras, who was in the Tomb of Sargeras, couldn’t resist the attack of the coalition army. In the end, the frustrated Kil’jaeden planned to retreat, but he didn’t expect his former good friend, the prophet Velen, to chase after him with the coalition army.
On Kil’jaeden’s mothers.h.i.+p, Velen and Kil’jaeden engaged in a life-and-death battle, and the final outcome was Kil’jaeden’s defeat.
At this point, two commanders of the Burning Legion had already been dealt with, but Illidan knew the undying characteristic of the Burning Legion. He knew that if he didn’t pursue the victory and completely defeat the Legion with the momentum of this victory, the Legion would still make a comeback when Archimonde and Kil’jaeden resurrected.
Therefore, despite everyone’s objections, he used the Sargerite Keystone that his people had painstakingly found in Mardum to open a rift that brought the worlds of Azeroth and Argus within reach of each other. Then the counterattack on Argus to eliminate the remaining survivors of the Burning Legion began.
But here, an event different from the original history happened.
Under the command of various leaders, Azeroth’s most elite army marched toward Argus. Among them were Alleria Windrunner and Turalyon, from the Sons of Lothar, named in honor of the legendary hero Anduin Lothar. They had come to the help of a powerful Lightforged draenei army, and the one leading this Lightforged draenei army was actually Archangel Tyrael!
In Velen’s memories, behind Archangel Tyrael were three pairs of large light wings! His strength seemed to have increased tremendously!
He was floating high in the sky and pointing the Sword of Justice in his hand in front of him. On the ground, the coalition army was enveloped in the protection of Holy Light and shouting battle slogans as they charged at the Burning Legion army that was hundreds of times their numbers.
This scene clearly happened on Argus.
Under Tyrael’s lead, the coalition army didn’t fall into a bitter battle with the Burning Legion demons, because Tyrael took out a small golden trumpet and blew it when there were more and more demons…
This golden trumpet was very gorgeous, and reliefs in the style of Eden were engraved on it. But under its beautiful appearance, it contained destructive power that was enough to cause doomsday!
The moment the trumpet sounded, a third of the landma.s.s on Argus was lifted by an immense force, a third of the mountains collapsed, destroyed due to volcanic eruptions, and a third of the oceans set off tsunamis that were thousands of meters tall. The sky was burning red from scorching flames, and countless meteorites fell to the ground. An earth-rending apocalyptic disaster descended on Argus.
Under this judgment of doomsday, the demons of the Burning Legion immediately faced a catastrophe. Countless demons died from this destructive force. On the other hand, because the coalition army didn’t have many people and was under the protection of Tyrael’s Holy Light, it was fine.
Tens of millions of demons died under Tyrael’s angelic trumpet, and the morale of the demons stationed on Argus utterly collapsed. The coalition army took this opportunity to break through the Burning Throne like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter and release all the souls of the t.i.tans imprisoned by Sargeras.
Then came the scene that Roy saw—the t.i.tans of the Pantheon taking Sargeras away…
After reading Velen’s memories, Roy felt that someone was amiss. It was fine for Tyrael to appear and his strength to increase. After all, his plan was to let Tyrael and the naaru meet up. The naaru had powerful Holy Light power. Since they could infuse it into the draenei, there was no reason why they couldn’t infuse it into Tyrael, so Roy was already mentally prepared.
But… can someone tell me why Tyrael has an angelic trumpet?! Isn’t that a power that only the Archangels of Eden can wield?!
