38. Conflict of ideas

Ulduar, the Hall of the Stars, where the returning world administrators look at the sky overhead.

Walking outside the hall, the Earth Spirit minions were carefully doing their work, they were more delicate than the usual clumsy hands, as if they were afraid of making some undue sounds, these Earth Spirit who had volunteered to work in Ulduar had some panic on their faces, obviously, the current situation was something they had not encountered before.

Compared to the previous masters of the Titan City, Dick is obviously more inclined to the character of mortals, although there are few times when he is angry, but the more this is the case, the more frightened he will be when he is angry.

The master of the Titan City has returned, and he is in a bad mood, causing the air flow throughout the city to become stagnant, and the other guardians are doing their jobs, and it is said that in the restored training grounds, a large number of Iron Legions are being awakened.

The Guardians, who had not been on the battlefield since the War of the Ancient Elements, were gathering at Ignis the Furnace Leader to repair their armor and maintain their weapons, and it was clear that a war was about to begin.

Before that happens, though, the paladin needs to meet with a guest.

Odin... The master of the Immortals, the war leader of the Guardians, and the one who temporarily ruled the world while Dick was not in Azeroth.

The cyclops shrunk his body, changed into a white robe, and strode down the Starlight Walk inside Ulduar with a silver spear of judgment, he hadn't been here in a long time.

In fact, for this high-ranking administrator, after the Titan left this world, the world changed too drastically, and the impression left on him by Ulduar, as a symbol of the Guardian, was definitely not good.

Unity and division, affection and betrayal, freedom and confinement, and those memories of these negative times, all of which are inseparable from the city, the guardians have souls, joys and sorrows, so even after being freed, Odin still lives in his own Valagare.

With the Valhalla Legion with him, he was like a commander-in-chief, never willing to be separated from his own army.

But today, Odin still came to Ulduar, because another leader of the Guardians is calling him, this system originally only had the Great Guardian Rai and the high-ranking administrator Odin, but now, the world manager Dick, has also become one of the three kings.

Although there is little difference in authority, with Elune's favor, Dick's status in Azeroth is already faintly highest.

Outside the door of the Star Dome Hall, Heimdall, who was following Odin, very consciously stopped in place with his sword, the discussion belonging to the leaders should not be heard by his subordinates, and Heimdall could probably guess what it was for this time.

The wars of this world... Although the Gatekeeper believes that war between mortals does not affect the balance of the world, it is clear that Dick does not think so.

"Bang"

The door was pushed open, and Odin stepped inside, and in the center of the hall, a strange device stood in place, in front of which Dick stood with his hands behind his back, and around him, the star maps of the entire world of Azeroth were scattered in the air, looking full of mystery.

"I'm here at your invitation. ”

Odin lightly tapped the spear of judgment on the starlit floor of the hall, and the point where the spear touched the ground rippled outwards in circles, as if it were resting on the surface of a lake.

Dick didn't look back, he stretched out his silver-white left hand and shook it in the air, the image of Mardon's world destruction appeared in front of Odin, this scene immediately attracted the attention of the high administrator, although he was powerful, almost standing at the apex of the world of Azeroth, but such a scene of world destruction, he had never seen before.

A moment later, in a purple and dark green glow, the image came to an end, and by the time the image had faded, Dick had already turned.

"Don't you wonder where I've been in the past few days?"

Odin ignored Dick's teasing, he was not a joker, his mind was still stuck in the blow of Marton's destruction just now, and after a few seconds, Odin spoke, his one-eyed staring at Dick,

"You went to destroy a world? why?"

"There's what we need, and it's a world that's long gone. ”

The paladin stretched out his finger and flicked it in the air, and three white-gold discs appeared around his left hand, spinning rapidly around his arm.

"Don't be surprised by this, Odin, you're one of the most powerful creatures in the world, but have you ever looked up at the stars?"

"What do you mean?"

Odin became more and more incomprehensible to Dick's words, and he spread his arms, "I thought you had come to me to discuss the war in this world. ”

"Of course, that's one of the things we're going to discuss, but until then, I need you to do one thing for me. ”

Dick placed the three platinum discs into the strange instrument behind him, and a moment later, the instrument began to move rapidly, and the paladin took two steps back and stood with Odin, watching the blue arc of electricity bounce on the surface of the black and iron instrument.

"I'm going to summon Olgalon, the Observer of the Realms, but I seriously suspect that the situation in Azeroth will make him uncool at this moment, so I need your help me to keep him under control... He's there, there's what we need, um, I mean, the very important kind!"

Odin clenched the spear of judgment in his hand noncommittally, and he said bluntly,

"I don't think we're going to have anything to do with the Realms Observer, let's be honest, Dick, what the hell do you want to do?"

The paladin gave Odin a deep look and whispered,

"In the past few days, a madman has told me that he is going to start a war, a war with the Burning Legion, a war with Sargeras, and he wants to take the initiative to open the door to the world of the Burning Legion and burn the war into the world of demons. ”

"Attack after attack, use the sword and blade, to win the peace that everyone desires. ”

Hearing Dick's words, the war leader of the Guardian frowned, he was good at fighting, but he was not belligerent, this kind of initiative to provoke contradictions, he couldn't understand it, but compared to the madman Dick said, he was more curious about Dick's choice.

"What about you? What did you choose against that madman, and what does it have to do with me?"

"Do you need to ask? man. ”

Dick smiled and took out the Heavy Sword of Order from the storage ring, "Of course I chose to cooperate with him, you know, right? We can't fight the Burning Legion with Azeroth alone, not to mention, those madmen are determined to kill us."

"It's like a terminally ill patient, who doesn't care what side effects the medicine in his hand has, as long as it can save his life, isn't the first choice to put it in his mouth? Frankly, Odin, your game won't work in Azeroth, and Elune won't sit idly by and watch this world go down in war, but in another world... Nobody's going to care about you, is there?"

A slight smile broke into Dick's mouth,

"You see, in the Broken World of Draenor, you can start a war as you want! Even if you choose the warriors you need from the most tragic war, even if it is one in a thousand, you can do it, there, you can develop your Heroic Spirit Legion to your heart's content, no one will limit you, but..."

The paladin's face suddenly darkened, and at this moment, the authority of the world manager made the wind and snow above Ulduar suddenly dense by more than three times, which represented the anger and unhappiness in Dick's heart.

"But you remember! Odin, in Azeroth, no! I won't allow you to do your kind in Azeroth!"

"Oh, when, it's your turn in the world! Dick... Before you, we guarded this world for thousands of years! Wars always happen, and I remember clearly, I didn't set it off!"

Odin took a step back, the expression on his face becoming serious, he waved his finger and pointed to his feet,

"Don't you know that you call yourself the equalizer of order, and that death is also a part of the world, or do you intend to make Azeroth a truly peaceful world, don't you know that the ultimate peace means a pool of stagnant water? War is the catalyst for the progress of the world!"

"Don't tell me you didn't find out who was behind this war!"

The paladin's eyes narrowed, and his voice was as cold and sharp as the wind of the North, "If it's an ordinary war, I have nothing to say, but there's obviously chaos mixed in, don't tell me you don't know! But even so, you still chose to turn a blind eye, didn't you?"

"Tell me, then, are you really competent as a high-level manager? I invite you to co-manage the world, but I don't want you to make fun of mortals with a part of the world! They are not cats and dogs, nor are they dispensable ants, they are the hope of the world!"

"You could have ended this war before it began, but now, all I see is the world bleeding, I only hear the world crying, this is the world you manage! Open your eyes and look, Odin, this is the order you gave the world!"

"Brush Brush Brush Brush"

Accompanied by Dick's angry voice, images of war jumped out of the air between the two, emitting blue fluorescence, like leaves of light, on which there were orcs who had just died, elves who were still holding on, humans who were seriously injured, trolls who fled in a hurry, and werewolves surrounded by Naga.

Bloodshed, sacrifices, deaths, it's never been so stark.

"They shouldn't have died!"

Dick's voice became low, as if he was also grieving the loss of those lives, "They should have been part of the forces that protect this world, they should have had a short but meaningful life, Enzos's viciousness and your indifference have caused all this, Odin... Until now, do you think you're right? Look at them, look at these lives, look at what your indifference has brought them?"

"Odin, ask yourself, do you and I really have the power to rule life and death? Did the Titans really give us the right to deprive a soul of everything it had? Or have you been abusing the power in your hands all along!"

This sentence was like a whip that made the chief manager's gaze dangerous, but when he saw those images, he finally chose to be silent, it was heavy, it was mortals that he had never paid attention to, and those deaths that might not be noble, but no less heavy.

After a moment, he spoke.

"I will take their souls, the brave will have the power to truly protect the world, and the ordinary will enter the Shadow Country and wait for another reincarnation, isn't this also for the sake of this world..."

"But you don't have that power!"

Dick's voice grew louder again, like thunder beating in the hall,

"You and I don't have the right to do this! We can only choose to them, how to choose is their business, we have no right to impose our destiny on the world, Odin! We are not gods! Even real gods do not have the power to change the fate of mortals at will!"

"I'm not blaming you! I just hope that the next time something like this happens, you'll use your cold mind to think for mortals... They're not ants!"

"Boom"

When the leaders of the two Guardians glared at each other, a bright starlight burst from the instrument in front of the two people, and the entire Star Dome Hall shook at this moment, and then the starlight distorted, and expanded in an instant, and finally a humanoid form composed entirely of starlight light, about 3 meters tall, and the skeletal nodes of the whole body still had traces of scattered stars, he wore the same flickering hood, held a cane, and walked out of the portal opened by the instrument in the scattered light.

The star-clad being saw Dick and Odin facing each other as soon as he walked out of the portal, but it meant nothing to him.

As an observer of the worlds, he has only one mission, to observe the whole state of the world shaped by the Titans, and to transmit the information back to the Pantheon, but other than that, everything is meaningless to him, so when he appears, he begins to carry out his mission.

"Stand back, Guardian, I have no intention of getting involved in your disputes. ”

"I'm about to start analyzing this world, and if I find an irreparable error in my analysis, I'll have to implement planetary remodeling for the good of the entire universe, so please don't bother me!"

"The analysis begins... Even with the naked eye, the planet's support system has been contaminated, and the planet's defenses have traces of infestation, so unfortunately, my brothers, I have to carry out the command of the planet remodeling... Did you hear that?"

Algalon, the Observer of the Realms, had witnessed the rise and fall of countless worlds, but to be honest, he had never seen what he saw before, two Guardians facing each other, and they did not seem to hear their own words as if they had not heard their own words as if they were about to carry out the order to reshape the planet.

After a few seconds of pause, Algalon turned around, shook his head and went about his work.

"Reply Code - Omega... Preparing for planetary remodeling... The code has been accepted. ”

After doing all this, Algalon turned to look at Odin and Dick, who were still facing each other, and he thought about it and said goodbye.

"Goodbye, my brothers, the core of your thinking may have been affected in some way, your actions are clearly lacking in logic, I have calculated all the possibilities of a battle between you, whatever the outcome, the Pantheon will be debriefed by me..."

After saying that, Algalon was about to return to the portal and continue his path of patrolling the realms, but at this moment, a silver sun spear pierced the star portal with precision, smashing it to pieces, and at the same time, a golden lightning turned into a solid chain, surrounding Algalon who was caught off guard.

"It's not your turn to decide what the fate of Azeroth will be, Algalon the Watcher of the Realms..."

Dick turned his head and looked at the bound Realms Watcher, "I'll have a long talk with you later, but before that, my friend and I need a moment to continue discussing my differences... Please wait. ”

"But the world will soon be reshaped! If you don't get out of here, you will..."

"Then let the world wait! We won't be long!"

Odin interrupted Algalon's voice with an impatient wave, "Sit there quietly, you don't want to get hurt, do you?"
