Chapter Seventy-Four: Revatin: Guardian of Faith
After obtaining the hammer of Kazgros, Azadas finally had a clue how to repair the Eye of Sargeras, but it would take time to repair the Eye of Sargeras, and it seemed that he would not be able to catch up with the battle at the Beetle Gate.
In desperation, Azadas could only put aside the work of repairing the Eye of Sargeras for the time being, and first created a flag gun for Claudia, named Revatin? Guardian of the faith.
Thanks to the help of the Hammer of Kazgros, the artifact is much more powerful than originally expected, with the Flag and Gun carrying both Light and Order effects, respectively.
This is an artifact created by Azada Stredi for the Elder Gods, and it has a mediocre amplification effect on Claudia, but it has a great effect on others around Claudia.
Any friendly army that is around the battle flag will be inspired by the battle flag, and their hearts will be filled with hope and courage, and they will easily not feel fear and confusion.
In addition to the psychological effects, they will also be protected by the Light, they will receive less damage, their physical strength will continue to recover, and the Light will automatically and slowly heal their injuries.
In addition to the passive effect, the more important thing is the active effect.
When Claudia infused the silver flame and waved the flag, the dark magic that bewitched the mind would be ended, whether it was pain, fear, nightmares, or mind control.
According to Azadas's speculation, this active effect should be able to break the spells of the Elder God, and of course, Azadas didn't have a chance to find an Elder God to test it, so he was just speculating.
After Revatin's construction, the time was approaching, but Claudia and Azadas still went to a place together, the Forge of Origins, before the expedition.
The Forge of Origin is located in Uldem, a place not far from Silishus, but due to the Titans guarding the barrier, the Zerg have not been able to harass it.
The Forge of Origin is a remarkable machine that regulates the rhythms of the depths of the earth and strengthens the form of Azeroth's Soul, but more importantly, it has the ability to restart Azeroth.
Once the Guardians decide that the situation in Azeroth is out of control, they can contact Algalon, the Overseer of Azeroth, through a machine, who will send a signal to the Forge of Origins to restart.
At that time, all living beings in Azeroth, including demons, dragons, Old Gods, and Guardians, will be wiped out by the power contained within the Origin Crucible, and the secondary Guardians within the Origin Forge will become the new Guardians, replanting the seeds of life and order for the new world.
Claudia was naturally uncomfortable with the sword of Damocles above her head, and she had tested Azadas's opinion of the Forge of Origins several times.
"That's just a last resort, and only when the Elder Gods have defeated us all and confirmed that there is no other way, will we use the Origin Forge to die with our enemies."
"But will it be activated by the enemy?" Claudia asked worriedly.
"No," Azadas shook his head, "If you want to activate the Origin Forge with all your might, you first need to contact Algalon, and after Algalon confirms it, it will send a signal to the Origin Furnace, and then the guardians of the Origin Forge will have the authority to power the Origin Forge with all their might, ordinary people are not qualified to contact Algalon at all, and even if they contact Algalon, as an observer, he is not so easily deceived." ”
"What's more, if there is an enemy who meets all the conditions and activates the Origin Crucible, what does he get? The world will only return to its original order. ”
"But......," Claudia wanted to say something.
Azadas interrupted Claudia, "No, Friggia, I've seen everything you've done for more than half a year, you've done a lot for the world, and you're full of the passion and sense of responsibility that other Guardians have lost. ”
"But you need to understand that the mission of our guardians is only to take care of the soul of this planet, and if there is really a day when the Origin Crucible is activated, we should also welcome our fate with peace of mind."
Despite her reluctance, Claudia nodded in agreement.
Today, Claudia and Azadas' reason why they went to the Forge of Origin is to borrow troops to fight Angela.
When the Titans established the original order of Azeroth, two large Titan facilities centered on the Forge of Will of the North and the Forge of Origin of the South were established, leaving behind two Titan Creations that were not affiliated with each other.
The Titan facility in the north, called Ulduar, houses the Forge of Will, and is led by the Great Guardian Odin, who is in charge of the overall situation, and Tyr, Freya, and Hodir...... Azadas and other guardians are in charge of the facility, and the main soldiers are the ancestors of humanity, Iron Veku,
The Titan facilities in the south are more scattered, the most important one is the Hall of Origin, which is led by the Grand Guardian Rai, and the secondary guardians such as Rasha and Seth are in charge of management, and the main soldier is Torville.
Thorville is a creature with a lion's head and lower body, similar to a human torso, is a very fierce stone giant, among the many Titans, including the dwarf ancestor Earth Spirit, was only a blacksmith and stonemason, only Iron Viku and Torville played the role of soldiers, enough to see Tovel's fierce combat power.
Therefore, Claudia and Azadas wanted to come to the Hall of Origin to borrow a part of Tovel to assist in the attack on Angela, in Azadas's opinion, even if they do not belong to each other, as long as the enemy is an ancient god, it is possible for the secondary guardians of the Hall of Origin to borrow some soldiers.
However, Claudia and Azadas found a "surprise" as soon as they arrived in Oldum.
The land of Uldem was filled with a withering and crumbling desert, and the arcane light that gleamed in the rift was a clear sign of the raging Origin Crucible.
Claudia looked at Azadas and asked curiously, "Since the Origin Crucible was once activated, why are you and the Dragonlords still alive now?" ”
Azadas was also a little puzzled, and after careful observation, he hesitated: "Look at this trace, the Origin Forge should have been activated fifteen thousand years ago, and only a small part of the power was activated, we need to go to the Origin Hall as soon as possible to find out the truth of the matter." ”
Soon after, Claudia and Azadas arrived at the Hall of Origins and met with the four secondary Guardians of the Hall of Origin.
The four sub-guardians were uncomfortable with the Holy Emblem of Order being inherited by mortals, but now that Azadas had approved of Claudia, it was inconvenient for them to say anything.
After all, the secondary guardians in the Hall of Origin are not affiliated with the Ulduar line.
Also because of the lack of subordination to each other, although the four sub-guardians were not interested in sending troops to Angela, Azadas also took the four of them with no good solution, and Azadas's desire to get assistance from the Hall of Origin was bankrupt.
However, Claudia and Azadas' trip was not without its rewards.
They learn Rai's whereabouts, the truth about the Forge of Origins set in place, and clues to how to reverse the Flesh Curse.
Fifteen thousand years ago, a self-proclaimed Mogu leader sent his men to summon Thorwell, who claimed to be able to reverse the curse of the Flesh.
Torville, tormented by the Flesh Curse, sent an envoy to receive a gracious reception from Thor.
To the horror of Thornville, the Mogu leader who claimed to be Thor, possessed the power of their long-lost master--- Great Guardian Rai.
Questioned by the Toldwells, Thor triumphantly claims that it was he who defeated Rai, which led to Rai's heart and strength and imprisoning him.
Thor, believing himself to be Rai's successor and deserving of the position of Grand Guardian, asked the Thorvilles to convince the four sub-Guardians in the Forge of Origin to submit to him.
Upon learning of Thor's betrayal of the Great Guardian, Thorville was furious, sternly rejecting Thor's proposal, vowing not to be with the traitors, and Thor allowed the envoys to leave, threatening to take the Hall of Origin by force.
Soon after, Thor led his Mogu army into Ordem.
Because he possessed most of Rai's power, the four secondary guardians knew they would not be able to fight Thor, and in the end, they directly activated the Origin Crucible.
Although they could only mobilize part of the power of the Origin Forge without Algalon's authorization, it was enough, Thor and his army were wiped out by the Origin Forge in one fell swoop, and Uldam became the desert it is today.
After leaving the Hall of Origins, Claudia asked Azadas in surprise, "How could Rai's power be taken away by mortals?" ”
"Some of the Guardians have a more special path," Azadas said succinctly, apparently not wanting to dwell on the subject, and instead said:
"But since the Mogu named Thor is completely dead, Lai's heart should be reunited and returned, before attacking Ulduar, we'd better go to the Titan facilities managed by the Mogu clan further south, if we can find and rescue Lai, we can call on Lai's army, and the victory rate of recovering Ulduar has been greatly improved."
"Hmm." Claudia nodded and made a note of it.
