43. The source of chaos
"Whoosh"
A silver sun spear slashed through the thick currents of the deep sea, piercing through the rocks in the chaotic cavern, and stabbing into the belly of a sea serpent that could be called a monster.
This monster has twisted sarcomas and disgusting limbs, black scales with gray-white spots of light, that distorted mouth full of file-like teeth, and several chilling eyes arranged irregularly on its body, it is like the condensation of the world's malice, like mold infected on the garbage discarded by the world, which is disgusting!
And the body that had been completely transformed by chaos rolled in extreme pain under the impact of this completely opposing energy, knocking the hard submarine rock all the way through a deep tunnel, but in the end, after the silver power of order completely exploded, the distorted body of the sea serpent was blown into flesh and blood stumps flying in the sky by the scorching force.
It was sprinkled all over the surrounding underwater caverns, and the stinking blood attracted more twisted monsters, greedily devouring all of them.
The next moment, a brighter, hotter, and more powerful pillar of light rushed down the cave into the bottom of the sea, enveloping all the monsters around it, the extremely high temperature, the scorching of the extreme power of order, made the entire seabed hot, and after a few seconds, only a twisted skeleton was left in place, and those monsters that would only exist in mortal nightmares were swept away by this blow.
Allowing these monsters to exist is simply a kind of mental and visual pollution.
Dick's feet were on the sand, which had been completely glazed by the heat, he walked slowly, but he moved fast, and Azhara didn't deliberately lead him the wrong way, and the deeper he went, the more obvious the chaotic oppression became.
But Dick noticed one thing... Enzos did not take root!
It's not that Enzos is a tree or anything like that, Dick means that Enzos didn't tie his spirit to the world after getting out of trouble, like Cthun and Yogsaron did, it didn't do that, in other words, after escaping, Enzos was like honestly living his life as a deep-sea saltwater fish behind closed doors, and it seemed that he was no longer interested in the mission of infecting the world.
But is that really the case?
Dick expressed serious doubts. The ancient gods, a monster born of chaos, infecting any world with astral spirits are the ultimate mission engraved on their distorted will, and there is no possibility of giving up, so Dick prefers to believe that Enzos is just polluting the world in a different way.
And as he deepened, the fluctuations of the holy light belonging to Old Viren became more and more obvious, obviously, the old man was fighting with some kind of creature, and judging from the frequency of the outbreaks, this kind of battle had been going on for a long time, and a roaring twisted will was also roaring, obviously because of pain and threat, and when he was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, the paladin also saw the seal left by the old prophet on the surrounding stone walls.
It was a huge seal built with the mysterious runes of the Draenei, although the restraint effect on the chaotic power was limited, but it was definitely the greatest effort that the old prophet could make, judging from the degree to which the thousands of runes continued to shine, this seal was obviously still operating, but judging from the remains of the runes that had been extinguished by one-fifth, this sealing circle was estimated to not last long.
The paladin immediately sped up, and after passing through the strange deep sea caves, he saw a hall completely illuminated by holy light, old Viren stood in the center of the hall with the Redeemer's Staff, the old man who was always slow to speak looked very embarrassed at this time, his face, arms, and body were covered with wounds, black mist lingered on the wounds, the white priest's robe was corroded by some kind of liquid, and the shield of holy light on his body was about to shatter.
The scorching holy light gathered into five thick pillars of light behind Viren, like some kind of protective measure, protecting the old prophet in it, and opposite him, the dark giant tentacles would be scorched by the pillar of light every time they struck, and the thick and delicate, burning golden flame light war hammer, and the scorching and fine flame fire, under the control of Viren, continued to sway towards the darkness ahead.
Formally, old Viren seemed to have the upper hand.
But that's not the most important thing, there was already a trace of dangerous stagnation in the old prophet's gaze, and those holy light flames controlled by old Viren were obviously aimed at the opponent when they shot, but after they made a move, they always swooped down on other places strangely.
Obviously, Viren's thinking is not very clear, his demigod's soul and will can protect him from fighting in this scenario, but the corrosion of the soul by chaos is indeed unavoidable, Dick is very glad that he caught up with this wave, if he comes one day later, I am afraid that Viren's spirit will be crushed by the power of Enzos.
At this time, there is no need to call or encourage, Dick waved his left hand, and three delicate lifelike silver spears appeared in the palm of his hand, under the high concentration of energy, dense rune carvings appeared on the tip of the spear, and the scorching sparks wrapped on it made the moment the spear appeared, it burned the surrounding sea water and tumbled.
"Look at the power of creation!"
Silver lightning danced beside the paladin, it was a blend of qualitative holy light and thunder and lightning, surrounded by the power of order, three different attributes of power, in the paladin's body reached a perfect balance, he held the constant humming order sword in his left hand, the moment he jumped down from the wall above, the whole figure turned into thunder and lightning under the silver light and shadow, and rushed into the sea like black ink.
The next moment, the silver lightning directly tore apart the inky black sea water, accompanied by the sound of the giant beast swallowing water and roaring in injury, more than a dozen tentacles covered with suckers, bone spurs and twisted and strange horns rushed out of the black ink-like sea water, frantically whipping the rock walls in the entire sea cave, but at the same time, the silver three lightning bolts and the last silver cross star still tore apart the body of the giant beast that had been hiding in the protection of chaos and shadows.
Before the stinky blood could come out, it was directly steamed dry by the scorching seawater, and on the big head like a sarcoma, more than a dozen dense compound eyes shone with unconcealable fear and hatred, as well as the viciousness and desire to kill, and the power of chaos continued to entangle around the body of this giant beast, trying to repair the three cracks that were completely torn open in the center of the body.
When the external cover is finally revealed, the true face of the monster that has been entangled with old Viren for a long time is finally revealed, a big octopus!
Coupled with the tentacles covered with suckers and bone spurs, this guy's body length is at least 70 meters! An out-and-out behemoth, just one of these tentacles, conservatively estimated to weigh at least one ton, the tentacles' suction cups are full of sharp teeth, Dick has no doubt about the power of these sharp teeth, each sucker is bigger than an adult, even if a whale shark encounters such a monster, it will be sucked dry of flesh in an instant!
It's a terrifying creature that shouldn't be in the deep sea! And it's impossible for an average sea beast to be that big... This is obviously deliberately cultivated by some being, or rather, pets!
Enzos's pet!
Erzumat, the "Overlord of the Deep" in Naga, Dick knows this great octopus, in fact, in the increasingly blurred memory of the game, in the story of the Cataclysm, the Naga of Vaskir and the water elemental Trekkal Tide Hunter Neptulon went to war, and Lady Nazchar drove this sea monster to directly attack the throat of the abyss where Nepturon was located.
Although he had the advantage of sneak attack, in fact, even the Elemental Lord who was caught off guard could not resist the brute force and chaos of Erzumat, and in that battle, the Tide Hunter Neptulon, the Elemental Lord who had appeared since the birth of the Ancient World, once again suffered the humiliation of defeat, he was directly captured by Erzumat, and even the Throat of the Abyss was occupied by the Naga of Azhara.
This is a real ancient beast, it is estimated that it already existed when Enzos was sealed in this trench, and to put it mildly, it is even as old as this world itself, a mythical creature that cannot be denied!
Frankly speaking, if it were somewhere else, Viren might still have a glimmer of hope of victory against Erzumat, but only in this home stadium of Enzos, while enduring Erzumat's brute force and chaos, even the old Viren, who is a demigod, will never win.
But after Dick joined the fray, Erzumat lost all chances, and the cunning octopus prepared to flee, squirting madly bewildering ink from its mouthparts, and its whole huge, supple body swooped down towards the cavern beneath the sea cave.
But how could Dick possibly give it this chance?
Knowing the relationship between Erzumat and Enzos, it was impossible for the paladin to let the sea beast continue to exist.
"Don't try to escape!
He began to call for the power of the world, to be precise, the power of this piece of seawater, although he did not hold such an artifact as the Tide Stone to control the sea, but under Dick's authority, the entire sea water above Vaskir began to surge frantically at this moment, rolling downward, towards the place where Dick was, as if he had his own life, under the manipulation of a higher will, the turbid water roared to form a pair of large hands that were more condensed than the flowing water itself, just like Dick's own hands, dragging Erzumat's body out of the cavern leading to the deeper seabed little by littleγ
"Whoa!"
"Give me, come back!"
It's like a terrifying giant in myths and legends that fights with heaven and earth, the hands composed of flowing water are getting tighter and tighter, and the power is getting stronger and greater, no matter how strong Erzumat is, it can't resist the power of a whole ocean, it struggles, so that the whole large cave is shaking, above the sea surface of Vaskir, looking down, a super large whirlpool appears on the sea, like the eyes of the sea!
Erzumat sensed the threat, and it struggled wildly, rolling back and forth in the ocean like the sound of thousands of cows together, and the entire Naga of Vaskir could see the huge whirlpool of water that spread from the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea, and the most central ocean was even separated, and these underwater creatures were trembling, and even Aishara himself trembled in the face of this power far beyond the might of heaven and earth.
She couldn't imagine that just now, she would boldly insult the manipulator of such power as an idiot...
"How does the gods deal with mortals who deceive him? I don't want to do that, but that doesn't mean I can't. β
Dick's words rolled back and forth in Azhara's heart, and the Queen of the Deep couldn't help but take a step back, she had seen Sargeras strong with her own eyes, but now, the scene in front of her made her feel as if she had returned to the scene of Kim Azhara in the Big Bang... The same devastating, the same shocking!
The next moment, a silver light flew up along the whirlpool that ran through the ocean, like a silver lightning floating in the water, and like a thunder of judgment falling from the sky, it flashed in Aishara's eyes, and the next moment, the wail of one of the most ancient beasts swept through all Naga's hearts, and in front of nothingness, Aishara saw the scene of a sea beast that reached through the sky and the earth being killed by a single blow.
Standing behind the sea beast was Dick with thunder and lightning in his hand, it was not an exaggeration, Dick's image in Aishara's mind at this time had grown tall and tall, and the difference between him and Sargeras, well, was not big.
But in reality, that frantic wail before death did not mean that Erzumat had died under the full force of the paladin's blow.
The vitality of this deep-sea monster is outrageously tenacious, in fact, Dick didn't expect a single blow to kill it, Erzumat's tentacles were almost completely cut off by the lightning just now, but its heart was only broken, and now the giant beast has lost the ability to fight back, so the paladin generously spared its life.
The war is about to begin, and a war machine like Erzumat is exactly what Azeroth needs most, and if he encounters a demon planet with a particularly large ocean area, Erzumat will definitely become a real nightmare for all demons.
His body was still wrapped in scorching lightning and silver light, and the paladin walked towards Viren, who was sitting in place resting, with a sharp sword in hand, he looked at the old prophet, and the old prophet looked at him, and after a few seconds, Viren pulled his mouth and smiled hard,
"You're finally back... It's such a hellish place, it almost broke my heart, your world is dangerous! There's nothing like this in any other world. β
"Hey, hey, old sir, are you confused? This is our world!"
Vilen paused for a moment, then smiled from the bottom of his heart,
"Yes, yes, this is our world... Okay, help me up, I've met a king water elemental who calls himself Nepturon here, and he's being imprisoned by this octopus, and I saved it, but it escaped, what a hell of a guy, Dick, what you're looking for is in that cave, I didn't dare go in, and now it looks like it should be a good thing. β
Dick rolled his eyes, lifted old Viren up from the ground, and said,
"Of course it's a good thing, next time you do what you can, my prophet, there are some things you can't touch. Oh, by the way, I've found a way to get to Argus on this trip, but I need something in your hands. β
"Argus?... It's a distant memory, let's deal with the trouble in front of us first. β
β... Good!"
