Chapter 658: Ethereal Origin
According to Oresses's words, the Ethereal Soul race is a relatively old race, and its overall strength is not bad, but it has not always had a strong sense of existence.
However, if you start from the origin of this race, from the birth of this race, you will find that the existence of this race... It's really not strong!
Ethereals are not the natives of the Void, but the natives of the real world. Their initial body structure was no different from that of other creatures in the realms from a microscopic point of view, and was made of matter. And now, the appearance of a cloud of smoke wrapped in bandages was completely transformed by the void.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, they will undergo this transformation, and from the beginning to the end, no one has ever targeted them!
I think that at the beginning, after the Void Lord expanded the hole, he only thought about how to find a suitable carrier to possess and truly set foot in the real world, so all their thoughts were focused on the Ancient God Cultivation Plan and the Titan Bear Child Destruction Plan.
When Sargeras discovered the threat of the Void, he immediately reported it to the Pantheon, but the decision made by Almansur, the head of the Titans, made him feel that it was really indecisive and unacceptable. So he turned into a Fallen Titan, formed the Burning Legion, and began to self-destruct and kill children!
Therefore, from the very beginning, the highest-level combat power boss who marked the two worlds has never regarded mortals as a thing, and has never looked at them at all!
Oh, and by the way, there seems to have been some subtle shift in Sargeras along the way, after the defeat of Azeroth during the Burning Legion's first invasion.
Before Azeroth, the Burning Legion was undefeated, and even the Titan gods fell in their hands! As a result, Sargeras was taken by surprise, and it is said that after the destruction of the portal that was about to hold him through, he also left a message for the Titan Soul conceived by Azeroth.
You don't have the value of being killed... Stupid mugwort-chan... If you want to kill me... Hate, hate, and live ugly! Run, run... Then let's give birth to it!
And when the Burning Legion returned to Azeroth after years of silence after the defeat of Kil'Gardan and the Sunwell Heights, the first thing Sargeras said to the yet-to-be-lived Titan Soul was, "Why are you so weak?" because of your hatred for me... Not deep enough!
Perhaps while Sargeras was destroying the worlds and killing countless Titan Star Souls, he hoped in his heart that a Titan Star Soul could defeat him and defeat his legion. This would prove that he wasn't the strongest titan. There is also an unborn Titan who is stronger than himself, and his warriors will be even stronger than his own legions!
Perhaps... The problem of void erosion that he can't solve can be put to an end by him!
Constantly killing his own compatriots, and sparing no effort to kill his own compatriots, but hoping that one of his compatriots can survive under the scorching flames of his own fire, defeat himself, and end his expedition! Perhaps it is the pain caused by this great contradiction that is the root cause of the steel body of the Sargeras Titan to shatter and burst into endless fire.
It's brutal, but... Titans are Titans because they are capable of making cruel choices.
It may be that under this powerful hatred and anger, although Azeroth is still in the womb, he has worked hard to produce a million great lords, a force that is even more terrifying than the Burning Legion.
Okay, that's a long way off. In short, Sargeras may have changed, but the Void Lords have not, they still haven't taken mortals into account, and the Ethereal Spirit was born under this attitude.
The invasion of the void into the real world, from a very macro perspective, this may be a natural phenomenon, but it has caused many real-world organisms to suffer catastrophe, just like the great oxidation phenomenon of the earth 2.6 billion years ago, which laid the pattern of the current biological system, but also caused the extinction of a large number of anaerobic organisms. No one is deliberately targeted, it's just that they haven't adapted to the changes in the general environment.
The Void Lord's fate was similar to this, the Void Lord didn't notice them, but their world was enveloped by the Void overnight, and most of their lives were destroyed by the pure Void Energy radiation, and some were destroyed by the powerful lifeforms that flowed out of the Void.
Only a small part of life, they were assimilated by the void by chance, and the matter that made up their bodies was completely decomposed, but their spirits were preserved under the action of the void energy, but they were in the real world, so they wrapped themselves in rune magic cloth to stabilize their bodies, which is the ethereal spirit. The Void Lord's assessment of them was... Alas, where did these guys come from, and when did they appear?
"So the Ethereal Spirit doesn't refer to a certain creature in a certain world, but to the survivors left behind by the devoured planet under the expansion of the void's unconscious?" said Evenson slowly. He saw that Oresses was now holding a thick history book in her hand, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a professional outfit from her back into human form, which made Evenson feel like she hadn't come to teach her a history lesson... emmm
"That's right. Oresses tapped the glasses on the bridge of her nose, lightly opened her red lips and said, "Although the ethereals are now a race, in fact, they originally came from different worlds, but they were just the same under the void, and they became the same. ”
"No wonder there's a disagreement between them..."Evenson tilted his chin and tilted his head to the side, not daring to look at Oresses, "It's like the Void Consortium and the Avengers, they are obviously a race but they are incompatible. ”
"Of course. Salorath was now dressed up with her sisters, but the clothes she was wearing were dark purple tones, and she waved the whip she held in her hand at some point and said, "Although the Ethereal Spirits survived the great change, most of them are at a loss for what to do with this change. ”
"There are some people who feel that they should be at peace with what they encounter, and since they have become creatures under the Void Realm, they should submit to the Void. On the other hand, people are obsessed with the destruction of their world and the forcible transformation of their bodies, and they are always thinking about revenge against the void. ”
"Revenge... Revenge?!" Evenson muttered the word for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at the Ereda Twins with wide eyes, "Avengers?
"Otherwise?" Oreses shrugged her shoulders slightly, "You shouldn't think that the Astral Consortium is on your side like those adventurers who are new to the Outlands, right? ”
"Uh-huh..."Evenson was dumbfounded, how to say... At that time, his relationship with the Astral Consortium was not bad, at least it was friendly, "But the Avenger Army fights when it sees people, compared to the Astral Consortium, it is much better." ”
"Of course. Oresses rolled his eyes, "Of course the Astral Consortium is fine, they will give you gold coins, technology and equipment, and exchange them for valuable materials from your hands. But have you ever thought that those things are actually still the things used by material creatures, and after the great changes in the void, whether it is the environment in which they live or they themselves have fundamentally changed, and the things they give you are worthless to themselves. ”
"And what they have received from your hands... Whatever you think of those things, those that have been broken down into the most basic matter will become the material from which the Void Lord builds his body. ”
"No wonder the Avengers saw me... They're going to die..."Evenson shook his head helplessly, feeling that he was treated as an empty dog leg by them because he was trading with the Astral Consortium.
"But... The Astral Consortium seems to have killed Dimentius..."Evenson felt strange again, if the Astral Consortium was suitable for the Void side, then how could they have the Void Lifeform Dimentius that they designed to kill?
"Dimentius, the Devourer of Worlds... What is he?" Salorath asked disdainfully, "He is indeed a powerful Void Lifeform, but in the eyes of the Void Lord, he is not even a hound, he is just a mouse that sneaked over when the Void Lord was expanding his hole, and it is also because of a rat whose strength has been weakened to the extreme because he was reckless and did not find a good carrier, a worthless existence!"
"So he doesn't care if he lives or dies, and he really destroyed the hometown of most of the people in the Astral Consortium, so it's not a big deal to kill him. ”
Evenson nodded silently, and at this time, Oresses reminded again, "But even so, don't have a good impression of the Avengers, their fire of hatred has burned itself, and it will also burn everything around you." After all, the enemy of the enemy may not be the friend. ”
"Like the Burning Legion and Azeroth, we are all enemies of the Void, but the creatures of the Legion and Azeroth are definitely not friends. ”
"Case-by-case analysis... No rule is set in stone. Evenson touched his chin and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while he asked, "So which faction is this Twin Realm Walker who is on Earth and will soon come over to teach Claire to learn Void Energy?"
In fact, after listening to the introduction of the ethereal, Evenson planned to veto this matter, because if he followed the peaceful Astral Consortium, he might join the Void one day, but if he followed the radical revenge army, it was estimated that there would be no good consequences, neither of which would work, and he would learn a fart.
"Like this little wildcat, he is a third party. Oresses didn't forget to hurt Claire at this time, which made Claire glare, and she didn't know who the third party was!
"The Twin Realms Walkers are against the Void, but unlike the Vengeance Army, they are more sane. And although they are few in number, they are all powerful... Some of them are even better than us..."
