49. Successor
Titan Spirits aren't that easy to kill.
To be precise, in the face of such a super creature that has long surpassed the imagination of mortals, even if you carry a sword, it will be difficult to pierce their spirit body.
And for an existence like Dick, who has reached the last step of a demigod, it is also quite difficult to kill the Titan Spirit, he once talked to the Creator about the existence of the Titan, and in Iona's words, the Titan's body and the Titan's soul are not actually 100% linked.
They are more like two separate entities, the Titan Spirits have come into their own, and the Titan Body is more akin to Dick's Angel of Order incarnation, like a shell, a weapon, just to carry the Titan Spirit's existence as a container, with this vessel they will be whole, but without it, they will not die.
This is also the reason why Nogannon was able to collect the soul of the Titan in a special way after Sargeras split the land of peace with a sword of Naharan, the spirit of the Titan is actually the body of the Titan, and after the soul is strong enough, the body will not become a necessary thing to maintain existence.
"I'm going to kill you... It's really hard. ”
Dick looked at the order lightsaber in his hand that quickly dissipated under the erosion of the gray mist, and he once again had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Titan's soul, and the soul was tenacious to such an extent that even if he wanted to die, it was not so easy.
Chaos was provoked by the order, and the surge in Agrama's body became even more violent, and looking at the eyes that had completely turned black, there was no time for Dick to think about it, he stepped back with both hands, and then turned into sharp claws, and stabbed into Agrama's body.
The fusion of spirits and bodies is like the beginning of the fusion of the bodies of the two sides, Dick's figure fades in the air, like a light that has been turned off, melts, and enters the spirit body of the fallen titan in the form of flowing energy, the sword just now has proved that simple order alone cannot suppress the chaos of Agrama, so it is necessary to enter the spirit of the titan with this more excessive order, and with the presence of Dick, suppress the chaos to continue to wreak havoc.
Slash through Chaos!
"Into your body, into your soul... This feeling is really terrible!"
Dick's spirit body complained a little before it completely melted, and the next moment, his existence environment suddenly changed, from the kind of magma light that was scorched all around, to what kind of environment it is difficult to describe the existence of the environment, the curtain of black and white intertwined light, like fighting for control of this land of light, in the conflict between black and white, those extinguished lights are like gray streamers, representing the trajectory of being infected.
This is the spirit of Agrama, Dick looked up, it was like a layer of flowing liquid, a large area of black, the color of the disease, and a touch of white that was almost cornered, that was the distribution of the soul, that was a symbol of strength, Dick half knelt on the ground, reached out and scooped up a handful of liquid in the "sea of liquid" under his feet.
The rapid evaporation, but the strange smell of chaos and order in it made the paladin frown.
Every drop of liquid here is a condensation of Agrama's power... Is this the true form of existence of the Titan? This soul has condensed into a physical form, which is a little too terrifying.
"Little one... Surprised?"
A tired voice sounded behind Dick, the paladin clapped his hands, he stood up, looked back, and saw a black and white humanoid phantom, the embodiment of Agrama's will, trapped in a dark shell, within a chaotic soul, a weak will that could only manifest in this land of will.
He had no winged helmet, no battle armor, and was dressed in a plain robe, the kind often worn by the guardians of Ulduar, with a wooden staff in his hands, and looked like a drooping old man.
"Agrama, haven't you bowed your will?"
Dick asked.
"Bow your head? no, no, no... In my life, I have never bowed my head. ”
Agrama raised his hand and looked at his gray arm, and he smiled and said, "At the end of my life, I won't just bow my head like this, or to Sargeras, he can kill me, but he can't make me bow my head." ”
Dick pondered for a moment, then he looked up at the drooping old phantom, "Then how can I help you?"
"Did you see that?"
Agrama didn't answer immediately, but stretched out his finger and pointed to the black and white mottled space around him, "That kind of erosion, I initially thought it was just ordinary evil thoughts, but after hearing the whispers of Chaos, I realized that there were more things than I imagined, and it was Chaos... Our first and final mortal enemy. ”
"Sargeras tried to infect me with chaos, and after the crushing defeat of Naharan, my will was shaken. ”
The voice of the Titan Spirit rang out, and the light formed an image of the past in Dick's eyes, and on it appeared the scenes of Naharan's war.
Countless creatures faced the split sky and the shattered earth, they could do nothing but fall to their knees and weep bitterly, and Agrama's body was seriously injured, but he still brandished the glorious Tisharacher at that time, and rushed into the sky, beyond that sky, there was a tall being burning with crimson flames, and it was he who shattered the planet with a sword.
That's Sargeras!
"Come on, come and kill me!"
Agrama shouted and rushed towards Sargeras, Tisharah's flame brilliance almost condensed into substance at this moment, it was probably the most brilliant moment of this Excalibur, and the fiery light it brought covered the entire surface of the planet, and in the midst of all the great shattering and destruction, it seemed to represent the future and hope of the flames.
But he had been too weak by Sargeras's surprise attack, and his will was like a true unyielding warrior at this moment, but the moment Sargeras turned around, a broken sword burning with black flames slashed from the starry sky, and Agrama let out a roar, but in Sargeras's sneer, the long sword struck, Agrama's body was like a lightning strike, and the boiling dark flames scorched his body.
He fell to the ground like a meteor, but when he was about to fall to the ground, he was scooped up by Sargeras, of course, the Dark Titan was not to save him, his five fingers were clenched together, and the burning black flames burned Agrama's body, and the body of the Titan, who had been seriously injured, shattered and burned under this oppression, and Agrama let out a painful scream.
He also saw Iona, the Creator's figure flashing and disappearing into space, her Titan body shattered in the sword that cleaved Naharan.
It was nothing short of a massacre!
"We made a big mistake. ”
Agrama's voice reached Dick's ears, "We never imagined that after Sargeras fell into darkness, he would become so powerful that even the Father of the Gods could only barely resist it, and he burst into a surprise attack, which was beyond anyone's imagination, we failed... My will also crumbled in that massacre... And then I became like this. ”
"Dick, I can see your heart... Order has only three masters in this universe, Sargeras, me, and you, and by the time you have mastered the strongest power against Chaos, you are already destined to stand in a dangerous position. ”
Agrama stretched out his arms, and his voice was like thunder from the sky,
"What happened to me has taught you that order needs strength to sustain it, and your strength is not enough... Come, kill me, let me detach myself from the order, inherit what I have left, and let me help you complete everything you need, the seed that enters the final stage. ”
"Let me return to the world itself under the gaze of the spirit of the world, and let me propel you forward with my death,"
"Argus... Agus is the real decisive point in this battle, never ignore the power of revenge, Sargeras tries to transform us to form a dark pantheon, but he has forgotten that the star spirit is born with all good and hope, and the chaos that represents corruption and decay is the eternal opposite, and he will never succeed. ”
Agrama stood across from Dick, his hands outstretched, like a cross standing in front of Dick's eyes, the black and white shadows rendering the last of the star spirit's existence as if it were an illusion.
"I have looked up at this starry sky countless times, I have tried to find the endless secrets buried in it, but I have not been able to find anything, and now I will be the starry sky, I will be a part of them, and it will be the beginning of another journey. ”
Dick, who existed in the form of will, looked at the former titan of revenge, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
"Don't try to save me, let me win the glory I deserve!"
"And don't grieve for my departure, I was there, I never left..."
"The crystal that holds the souls of the Father of the Gods and other brothers exists in the depths of the universe, to find it, Dick, Elune, Iona, and you, and them, you are the true hope for the rebuilding of the Pantheon, and this is your ultimate and greatest mission, and you are determined to go on. ”
Agrama walked towards Dick, the paladin holding the sword of order in both hands, and Agrama stepped forward, allowing the blade to pierce into his weakened will,
"The will will lasts forever, the soul lives forever, the only way to kill the star spirit is to break his will, and his soul will be weakened and decomposed, leaving only a meaningless body in the end, the body of the Titan is only the bearing of the soul, and the meaning of the Titan Road is the same, only the strongest body can withstand the weight of that huge soul. ”
"We are spirits, and we are also the existence and end of everything, everything has a spirit, and the strongest spirit is the Titan, the Star Spirit Titan!"
The blade of order in Dick's hand dissolved in the embodiment of Agrama's will, and together with the weary incarnation, it began to dissipate from under his feet, like quicksand blown by the wind, and his existence quickly died in the flutter of light.
"Sargeras is rushing to Argus, Dick... There's not much time left for you... Never give up hope!"
Until the last moment, Dick could not see Agrama's face clearly, and after the death of the embodiment of the will, Dick stood in the midst of a world that had begun to collapse rapidly, Agrama had never hoped that he would survive from the beginning, and he had been holding on until his successor arrived.
In the place where Agrama disappeared, there was a long sword of light, almost exactly the same as Tisharacher held in the hand of the Dark Titan, and Dick knew that it was the last "seed" that Agrama had left him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned slightly towards the crumbling sky, and then stepped forward, holding the light and shadow of the long sword in one hand, unimaginable knowledge and a special comprehension rushed into his will, like opening a floodgate, shattering his will in an instant.
By the time he came back to his senses, he had returned to the Angel of Order incarnate, and the Sword of Order had been turned back behind him, and in his left hand, he was holding the shrunken Tisharacher Flame Ripper.
Dick held it up in front of him, and the rusty, dark red shell began to peel off rapidly, as if it were reborn, revealing the white and blue intertwined blade underneath and the Titan rune engraved on the broken blade.
Tisharacher resonated with his soul like a humming song, and in front of the crowd, in the endless void, the pillar of fire in the eyes of the dark red body of darkness had dissipated, like a cold corpse, Agrama was dead, and the cage had lost its meaning of existence.
"Dick... He, is he gone?"
Elune's voice rang out, and the paladin nodded silently, then looked at Azeroth,
"Let's start, with a war to crush the darkness, for the vengeful Titans, for a great soul to see off!"
