42. The Emperor's New Order - on

As Elune's will faded, the half-kneeling heroes looked up, and the first thing they saw was a moonlight scepter, a heavy sword, and the armor he had forged for himself, but the battle scars and blood stains on it had been washed away.

The paladin stood a little lonely by the lake, the scorching light curtain just now was just a moment, and the terrain of the entire life greenhouse was completely changed, and the pool of lake water turned into a small crescent-shaped pool, and everyone stood in front of him, no one spoke, let alone knew how to speak.

The scene that just happened was beyond everyone's thinking, and it was magical, like something that happened in another world.

Dick took a step, and when his left foot stepped on the ground, the whole greenhouse of life was like an earthquake, and the hard ground began to crack from the point where it fell, and the black cracks were like small snakes, spreading rapidly in all directions, and the rolling stones cracked, which made everyone startled.

Including Dick himself.

He lifted his foot slightly, then took a deep breath, and stepped lightly again, looking a little embarrassed, but after retracting his strength again and again, he staggered out three steps, and he quickly adapted to the current situation of this surge of power.

"You... You're getting stronger again, Dick!"

The old dwarf Muradin looked at Dick standing in front of him and exclaimed, "You have become the ruler of the world!

"Yes, World Manager. ”

The paladin showed a familiar smile, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and finally shrugged his shoulders, "It was an accident, but I'm still the Dick you are familiar with, so forget it, Your Majesty." ”

After saying that, Dick opened his hands and wanted to give Muradin, but thinking of what had just happened, he withdrew his hand again, before the huge power brought by the second upgrade was digested, he was now like a humanoid beast, let alone a hug, and even the handshake had to be careful.

So the original hug, with a nod of the head,

"You're all right, that's good, what about the casualties?"

"Don't worry, Dick, Alessandro is counting the results of the battle on the training ground, and our people are basically not dead. ”

Old Fording patted Dick's shoulder, but before the palm of his hand touched, a silver lightning burst out from Dick's body, making the old knight feel like an electric shock, and withdrew his hand in the surge of holy light, he rubbed his palms a little embarrassed, and finished the second half of the sentence,

"But your legion is basically... The whole army is annihilated, but the command level is still very sound, and, what's going on with this strange force?"

"Well, it's okay, this ending is acceptable. ”

Dick smiled at the old knight, stretched out his hand and shook it, the finger cut through the space in the air, and even brought out the dark chasm, and the people who watched were stunned, and Dick's voice explained,

"I finished the kill of Yugsaron with the Guardians and the Dragonlords, and in this way, I completed my second ascension, um... This is the secret of the Path of Titans, the most beautiful gift a mortal can get, and I am lucky to have taken this path to immortality, and I would like to see you on this path if I have the chance, but this sudden increase in power can really make people feel terrible. ”

The paladin smiled bitterly and spread his hands,

"So brothers, you'd better not touch me until I'm fully used to this power. ”

"That apparition just now..."

The Duke of Berval asked in a low voice, "Is that... Gods?"

This question immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, not only Bowval, but even the always tough Sarufar turned his head, looked at Dick with burning eyes, and the always calm old Ferding recalled the scene just now, and couldn't help but caress his heart with his hand, and clenched the emblem of the Holy Light Church with some fear.

"The Light is above, and the first half of my body believed that the Light is the only true spirit, but when I saw that Supreme Apparition appear, my loyalty to the Light was shaken even at this moment, telling me, Dick... Is it really a god, as Bolval said? Do gods really exist?"

Dick's eyes swept over the eyes of everyone who were expectant, silent, worried, or frightened, and looked up at the guardians not far away, he was hesitating whether to tell the secrets of the Titans to the most trusted warriors among these mortals, and the Guardians were also exchanging opinions with their eyes, according to the Titan's decree, unless the matter reached the most serious time, Elune's existence would always be the biggest secret in this world, but in the end, Mimiron still nodded slightly.

It's not because the Guardian no longer obeys the Titan's decrees, but because in this battle against Yogsaron, he and the entire Ulduar have seen the potential of mortals, and the best warriors among these mortals cooperate with the Titans' legions to achieve more power than just 1+1.

But a secret is a secret, so after Mimiron's consent, Freya also spoke up to

"Brave mortal warriors, what you are going to hear next is one of the oldest, greatest, and heaviest secrets of this world, and it is related to the survival of this world, and even to the entire universe, the ultimate of the entire pantheon..."

"Alright, Freya, come here, I have another piece of news for you. ”

Dick stretched out his hand to interrupt Freya's warning, he took a step back, his body bent downward in a seated position, the shining silver light darting behind him, as if he had a life of his own, dazzled with a surprising sense of mystery, and finally, a silver chair appeared behind him, although it did not look very luxurious, but when Dick sat on it, it had the feeling of a throne.

Of course, this feeling appeared more because of his silver crown and the scepter in his hand.

So a few minutes later, together with the old knight Mograini and the witch doctor Woking, who had returned urgently from the front, and the representatives of the elves and draenei, the sentinel general Santis Hazuki and the garrison leader Marrad, the crowd was divided into two columns in front of Dick's eyes, the guardian on the left hand side, and the mortal hero on the right hand, Dick put the scepter in his hand in front of him, he closed his eyes slightly, muttered for a moment, and then spoke,

"That apparition just now is Elune. ”

"What?, the moon god of the elves?"

The pipe in Muradin's hand, who was sitting on the stone, fell to the ground, and before his emotion was over, Santis Hazuki, who was wearing a black bat armor, stood up angrily, pointed at Dick's nose and scolded,

"Shut up, you blasphemous! How dare you blaspheme Elune's name?"

"Huh?"

The paladin opened his eyes slightly, he looked at the excited Santis Hazuki, and the next moment, with his gaze, invisible pressure poured towards the elven general from all directions, Santis's heart was hit head-on by a heavy hammer, and she took three steps back, her face turned pale for a while, and her eyes were full of horror when she looked at Dick.

It's not that Dick's gaze can kill her opponent, but because at that moment, Santis felt that all the power in her body was imprisoned, as if there was an invisible lock that tore her apart from the whole world, which was the fear of being rejected by the world.

"You! how could you..."

"Quiet, mortal! You don't know what great secret you're listening to!"

The silent Hodir glanced at Shantis, shook his head, and stopped talking, Dick also retracted his gaze at this moment, and the invisible majesty walked away at this moment, even if he didn't want this kind of indifferent majesty to set off himself, but as the world manager appointed by the only titan, this world, instinctively, no one was allowed to provoke his existence.

He continued to speak in that low tone,

"Not Elune who came as the god of the moon, but as the Star Spirit Titan... Yes, why did the demonic Burning Legion covet the world, why did the Chaos and Evil Old Gods choose this planet to build their nests, why are there so many Titan ruins on this planet that shouldn't exist? ”

"Bang"

Dick's scepter tapped lightly on the ground, but it fell on the ears of the others like a thunderbolt that had awakened a slumber.

"Azeroth is pregnant with the unawakened Titan, the Well of Eternity possessed by the Ancient Kadore Empire, which is the wound she existed in the ancient wars, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Well of Eternity that you are closer to the Titans, so you have become the only creature in the world to know her name. ”

"You see her as God, but her existence is nobler than God, she is the mother of all things in this world, the ultimate hope of this world... Again, the last hope of this universe. ”

"In Mount Hyjal, I came into contact with Elune's presence, and took over a heavy mission from her, until the moment Yogsaron died, this mission was completed, Elune sent grace to me, and everyone, this secret has been told to you, and from now on, you will have a heavier responsibility beyond your mortal status!"

"This secret cannot be revealed, and as the price of your acceptance of this secret, you will be the guardians of the astral spirits, and from this day until death comes, this responsibility will run through your life and soul... I can't defend this world alone, I need strength from the whole world. ”

Dick's voice was silent at this point, he was waiting for the mortal heroes to answer, in fact, there was no second way for the mortal heroes to go, whether it was from their own existence or from a higher level, guarding Elune was actually the innate mission of every creature in Azeroth, and they couldn't escape this responsibility, especially after really seeing Elune's arrival with their own eyes, this originally ethereal mission seemed more and more solid.

After a long few minutes, the first person stood up, and to his surprise, it was the elven general who had been at odds with Dick just now, and there was still a skeptical glint in her eyes under the black bat armor, and she exclaimed,

"Unless you can prove what you say!"

Dick's gaze swept over all the mortal heroes, whether it was Muradin, or Sarufar, and even the old Fordin and Mograine, who had the best personal relationship with him, all chose to remain silent at this point, and it was clear that Santis had spoken their minds.

Dick shook his head, but he had also been one of the mortals, and he understood the necessity of questioning the existence of mortals, so instead of anger or disappointment, he raised his left hand from the World Scepter in his hand,

"Then let Elune convince you herself. ”

The silver curtain of light that bloomed from the sky swept over everyone present, and they felt that they were more connected to the world, but at the same time, in addition to listening to the voice of the world, a layer of indescribable, inexplicable, shackle-like power was also blessed on their bodies.

At this moment, listening to the voice of the world, they were temporarily closed off from their five senses, and Dick also turned his head to look at the Guardians, Azadas, Aronnaya, Ignis, Orlea, and even the four Arkavon brothers and the Four Dragon Kings, all of whom had appeared in the greenhouse of life.

When they saw Dick's gaze turn to them, all the guardians were tense in their hearts, and the guardians had different personalities, but when they were made by the Titans, they were all endowed with true wisdom, and their keen perception could roughly guess that the new world manager in front of them must be talking about a very serious and very important matter.

A secret that even the Guardians can't know.

Dick was silent for five seconds, then sighed softly, and a deep voice reached the ears of every Guardian,

"The Pantheon... It's already ruined. ”
