Chapter 228: The Roots of the Civil War
What Oss was trying to say was something that no one could really understand when the Lord of Time, Nozdorm, was unwilling to explain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the ability to foresee the future, they will live in fear of the future.
At first glance, this feels a little disagreeable.
However, if we temporarily abandon the "good" side that predicting the future can bring, what is left?
Oss did not go any further, for there was no need for this, and Nozdorm must know better than he what he called the "true meaning of fate" like an hourglass countdown.
Alexstrasza and Ysera didn't quite understand, but they looked at Nozdorm, who was obviously acquiescing but obviously reluctant to say more, and immediately thought that the reason why the mortals in front of them were afraid of the future and did so many things in advance must have happened to a very serious problem, so serious that even their brothers in charge of time were unable to solve it.
As for what will happen in the future, as gods, they naturally have time and their own ways to verify the truth!
"My second fear comes from salvation." At this, Oss's eyes showed a dark and sad color.
"I always thought that my strength was strong enough to change my destiny with it, and this is what I have been working hard and striving for." Oss thrust his divine will into the ground, and the whole person stood calmly, and said calmly, "But, when I face His Majesty Nesario, I can't even save myself if I don't have some use; When I joined the war against the Horde and the Burning Legion, and when we faced Kazak, the Lord of Doom, I realized that I could save some, but not everyone. ”
Suddenly, without warning, without cause, without a sound, the Light appeared.
It swirled and condensed in the air, converging into a warm embrace of substance, gently taking Oss into his arms. And its appearance seemed to be extremely grateful for Oss's pity, and tried to soothe the grief and anger in Oss's heart.
At this moment, Alexstrasza was deeply shocked!
As a sworn binder of life and one of the gods of the friendly mortal race, she had never seen a mortal with such pure power of prayer as Oss in her long years!
However, when Alexstrasza wanted to say something, the golden light that gathered suddenly disappeared. And the expression on Os's face also became a little harsh: "So, I selectively forgot the teacher's teachings, and I began to crave power!" Craving for power enough to kill the gods! ”
The divine will suddenly sounded, as if in response! It's as if to tell Oss that it's the power that kills the gods!
However, Oss immediately restrained his murderous aura, bent down, and lightly touched the sword spine of the divine intent, calming the divine intent that also erupted with murderous aura.
"Is that what you created it for? Enough to kill the Demon Lord of the Burning Legion, but also enough to kill us? Alexstrasza asked.
On the side, Nozdom and Ysera, Claostraz and Kerestraz, and in the distance Kromie and Onyxia, were all waiting for this most crucial answer. And Oss's answer really made them breathe a sigh of relief, even if it was just one word.
"Nope." Oss replied bluntly.
Yes, the guardian dragons breathed a sigh of relief.
It is true that Oss is a mortal, and indeed a powerful mortal with a strong strength and a soul strength that tends to be close to that of a demigod. But for the Guardian Dragons, Oss is not unstoppable, and if the Dragonlords are willing to take action, or if they are specifically designed to target, Oss is easy to kill.
However, with the Divine Will Galakron Dragon Slayer, Oss is completely different. With the help of this artifact with the power of the Five Great Origins, Oss could not only easily kill the Guardian Dragon, but he could even rely on the protection of the Divine Will to retreat from the attack of the Guardian Dragon King.
"We're glad to hear that." Alexstrasza said, "But the question comes back, what does the presence of divine will mean?" Why did you give it the mission of 'slaying the dragon'? ”
"That's my third fear, and it's precisely from the power itself."
Oss's answer once again stunned the guardian dragons. Only Kerestraz's expression did not change, and his gaze was focused, as if he remembered some old things.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ios's current strength, combined with the divine will, as long as he is not mad enough to enslave the entire world of Azeroth, or to become an enemy of the entire world, the power he has is enough for him to get everything he wants. And in such conditions, he would be afraid of the powerful force itself?
Oss saw the doubts of the guardian dragons, he did not explain directly, and asked rhetorically for the first time: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you a question first, why did the guardian dragons break out into a civil war?" ”
It's not a difficult question to answer, but Alexstrasza is about to say that it was Nesario's fall that caused the Dragon War, but he can't say it. Because the truth is far from being as simple as it seems, Os's question is not just about appearances.
At this time, Nozdorm suddenly spoke: "So your point is, the great force itself? ”
"Yes." Oss nodded, perfecting his point, "Strength, cause conflict; Conflict, which brings strife; Fighting, on the other hand, can lead to disaster. ”
"Your Majesty are the Guardians who have been blessed by the Titans, and in Azeroth, there is no other power to match the power you have, except for the Elder Gods who have been sealed by the Titans."
"Therefore, powerful, and unrestrained! When you forget your mission as Guardians, it is you who have made Azeroth what it is today! And even more dangerous, tomorrow for Azeroth! ”
Alexstrasza immediately retorted, "We have never forgotten our mission, and we are willing to give all our strength for the sake of Azeroth!" It's like 10,000 years ago, when we gave our power to create the Dragon's Soul to defeat the Burning Legion! ”
However, neither the thoughtful Nozdom nor the sad-faced Ysera refuted it, which made Alexstrasza's defense seem very weak.
"Is that really the case?" Oss asked rhetorically a second time.
In fact, Alexstrasza didn't say all.
Initially, they didn't pay attention to Kadore's accelerated research into the Well of Eternity; They didn't care when Kadore was abusing arcane energy without restraint; As the Burning Legion began to infiltrate, they remained inactive in their respective domains; It wasn't until Cenarius, the King of the Forest, realized the gravity of the situation and began to gather the Guardians of the Ancients, that they noticed that the Burning Legion had invaded in a big way, and even Sargeras, the King of Demons, was about to descend.
Have you forgotten your mission as a Guardian?
Actually, not really, but for the guardian dragon kings who have eternal life, they have indeed been derelict in their duties and slackness in their long years, even if the reason for their slack may have been just a nap, a nap that took hundreds or thousands of years, and the mortal race has passed for generations!
At this moment, to be questioned, denied, and criticized by this mortal man in person, it is certainly impossible to say that there is no anger. It's just that between Oss and the guardian dragons, there is always a sword that has converged its breath and looks quite harmless.
The atmosphere became oppressive again, and the three guardian dragon kings were silent, no one knowing what was going on in their minds.
Kerestraz took a step forward, stood beside his mother, and said, "I think I understand what you mean, Os, that you created this sword, and gave it such a name and mission, in the hope that you could use it to restrain our power. And what you call 'slaying the dragon' is actually telling us that this will be your final choice in the worst-case scenario? ”
"Exactly." Oss said bluntly, "Just like this time, His Majesty the Blue Dragon King fought His Majesty Nesario regardless of life and death, and I saw him all covered in blood. As a result, His Majesty the Blue Dragon King undoubtedly contributed to the world of Azeroth, and also paid a great price for the destruction of His Majesty's conspiracy to destroy Netsario. However, if in terms of original intentions, His Majesty the Blue Dragon King attacked His Majesty Netsario, was he really for the world of Azeroth? Or is it just for revenge, to fill the lust in his heart? ”
Pointing directly to the heart, Oss paused for a moment: "I think your crown should be very clear in your hearts!" And I always believe that a person who can't suppress the desires in his heart will not become a real hero just because he gets great power, he will only become a thug who abuses his power! For these reasons, I can't hand over the Divine Will to His Majesty the Blue Dragon King, and the Divine Will will not choose your Crown! Holding a murder weapon in his hand is already easy to kill, not to mention that it is still like this-the sword of the dragon! ”
"Ang!"
The dragon kings, and the guardian dragons, were silent for a long time. They listened to Oss's tirade and looked at Oss's resolute face, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings.
Alexstrasza's mind changed several thoughts in succession, but he denied them one by one, and finally asked, as if giving in: "I admit, mortal, what you say makes a lot of sense, but can we trust you?" Believe you, as you yourself say, a thug who doesn't abuse his power? ”
Ysera also said, "You hope to restrain our power, but for us, you are entrusting our fate to the hands of a strange mortal. And is all this the reincarnation of the next nightmare? ”
"I can't prove my heart for the time being. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I have to ......"
"No!" Kerestraz suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You can prove yourself, Os, if you are willing to be tested!" ”
Then Kerestraz said to the dragon kings: "Mother, Nozdorm, Ysera, in the far south of the Endless Sea, there is an isolated place, where I know a mortal who has a way of unreservedly revealing one's true heart! Neither darkness nor light! ”
