Chapter 232: The Ancient God of Draenor
The Burning Legion base camp that twisted the void began to assemble once again. Demons have entered the massive legion fortress in preparation for another expedition. Their destination was the plane of the Outlands, the shattered world where Akmund had fallen.
Kilgardan retrieved Sargeras's soul vessel. He stared at the almost completely shattered model of the Outer Lands in front of him in a daze, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.
He had just torn the model with his own hands, which meant that the Outlands had become what he was looking like at this time.
The countless creatures there must be struggling on the shattered earth, and they will soon die in the void from extreme cold, lack of oxygen, and all kinds of harmful rays.
There is another place in the Outlands model that is still relatively intact under the ravages of Kilgardan, and it is called "Nagrand". When Draenor exploded more than a decade ago, it remained almost as it was. The evil energy did not pollute the grassland, nor did the backflow of the sea flood it submerge it. It's as if there is a mysterious force in the shadows that protects this place.
Kilgardan looked at the plate representing Nagrand, his eyes shining with interest: "I can't hide it anymore, right?" ”
From the discovery of Delano, his decades-long arrangements began to come true.
With a wave of his hand, Kil'Gardan pushed the entire shattered model apart, and strode out of the place.
"Expedition! Burning Legion! Kil'Gardan's voice resounded throughout the base camp, "Avenge Akmund!" ”
"Revenge!"
A portal appeared in the base camp, large enough to fit a legion fortress that could fit tens of thousands of demons.
The Outlands are shattered, and the space there is crumbling. All protections have been gone, and the Burning Legion can enter that world more easily.
――
Jiang Weihan and the others returned to the Broken Spire with the good news of killing Akmund. The news was heartening to survivors who were terrified by the shattering of their world. But the catastrophe continued, and one could feel them slipping - the broken spire was strong enough not to be destroyed by the shattering of the land, but it was also sliding into the abyss when the land-based subsided. Maybe it won't be long before they drift out of gravity into outer space.
Survivors of the Shattered Spire will suffocate to death even if they can avoid the extreme cold and harmful rays - there is no oxygen supply in this fortress.
"How's that, can I start the jump?" Jiang Weihan strode towards the Storm Fortress, and the Naru were busy.
"The situation is not optimistic." It was Crassus, who had returned here first, who spoke, "Just now the Ethereals tried to activate their ship, but without success. It is said that it is because of the collapse of space. There are anomalies in both the timing and dimensions here, and if you force the jump to start, you are likely to jump into an unknown dimension. ”
"What about Naaru's ship? What do they say about Muru? ”
Crassus shook his head, his expression solemn: "They were too badly injured in the previous battle, even if there were no space-time anomalies. There is also a lack of enough energy to drive space-time transitions. ”
His answer sent everyone's hearts down.
"That is, neither path will work?" The person who asked this was Sinestella who had just flown back here, and she was desperate to confirm the news. ”
Crassus did not answer, which represented acquiescence.
Sinestra exclaimed, "Give me a lot of spell crystals for Dragonax to eat!" That's the only way out! ”
"Actually, there is another way." Jiang Weihan said slowly. He frowned, not knowing if the path would work.
"The Dark Gate." He uttered the name.
If the Dark Gate hadn't been destroyed in the shattering of the world, it would still be functioning by now. Even if there are some faults, as long as you can find the location. They can also reactivate it with the Dragonlord Blade.
At this time, Narud Ori transmitted: "Let the sub-ship Essoda fly over." Plus some flying classes to search for the Dark Portal. If found, we can go directly to Essoda through the guò teleportation array. ”
"Just do it!"
Jiang Weihan said.
They don't have a lot of time. No one knows when the air in this world will become unbreathable, or when gravity will become chaotic, or even where the Dark Gate will drift. Scouting the area where the Hellfire Peninsula is located can be a dangerous operation.
But they had to.
The Hammerhammer Griffons, the Shatar Sky Guard, and most of the air forces of the Valoran Federation entered Essoda and flew in the direction where Hellfire had been removed.
However, not long after they left, Onexia found Jiang Weihan in a panic and brought a message: "Master...... My mother she ...... She ...... "She carefully looked at Jiang Weihan's face. Hesitant to say it directly.
"Say, what's the bad news?" As soon as Jiang Weihan saw Onexia's expression, he knew that it was definitely not good news.
"She has a lot of spell crystals with Dragonax...... Ran. ”
Jiang Weihan took a deep breath. I only felt a little depressed, and after a while he waved his hand and said, "Let's go hers." Leave it alone. ”
"Aren't you angry?"
Jiang Weihan shook his head, "There's no way Dragonax can't eat enough to open the space-time jump before we can't support it. If they are willing to fend for themselves, let them go! ”
It would take at least a week for Dragonax to grow to the level they needed without dying in an explosion. However, Jiang Weihan thinks that they only have two or three days at most, and after that, the environment of outer space will kill them. He had just asked, but there was no oxygen supply on the Storm Fortress. Because Naru doesn't need to breathe. There is no ethereal spirit on the ship, and as an energy creature, the ethereal spirit does not need to breathe.
Jiang Weihan sighed a little, carbon-based creatures really have too many weaknesses - no wonder the Titans make silicon-based creatures and metal creatures.
"Titans?" Jiang Weihan suddenly thought of one thing: Didn't Ansu say that the broken spire was built on top of a real room left by a Titan?
Will there be a way for them to escape?
――
Having swept away a large number of spell crystals and absconded, Sinisterra chose to flee west, which was in the direction of Nagrand. As for why she chose this place, the Mother of Dragons couldn't think of a specific reason, and she had a strong hint in her heart - to flee to Nagrand. You can get shelter!
She flew west with Dragonax. High in the sky, Henestella could see that many of the shattered plates of the earth were drifting chaotically under the control of some terrifying force, some rising and some sinking. The magma at the heart of the earth broke free from its shackles and flowed chaotically across the shattered earth. Everywhere you pass, you turn a qiē into scorched earth.
It was a horrible scene, and Sinistra could only feel trembling inside.
But it wasn't long before she was out of her terror, for she had flown to Nagrand, a place that remained largely intact when the world shattered. It was as if the power that tore apart the Outlands had failed here. It's still a green grassland, and the river is still clear. Only the various animals sensed the catastrophe of the earth and seemed to be a little panicked.
"This is it, I've come to the right place! Haha, those idiots, you didn't think this was a shelter, did you? He also ran to find the Dark Door. What stupidity! Cinesstra felt nothing but a good mood. Now she didn't have to take revenge on the humans who tried to enslave their mother and child. Because those poor fellows will definitely be devoured by the Void!
And her stupid daughter—it's a shame that Onexia would rather stay than go with her!
The Mother of Dragons found a place to land, and she took out a large handful of spell crystals and motioned to Dragonax, "Come here, my son!" ”
Dragonax's eyes lit up at the sight of the delicious crystals, and he strode over, stretched out his tongue, and swept away the large handful of crystals from Sidestra's claws. Then chew happily.
The Mother of Dragons had a rare expression of tenderness and doting, even when facing the two biological children of Onexia and Nefarian, she rarely showed such a look.
She really pinned her hopes for the future on Dragonax. And Onexia and their brother and sister? No matter how much they grow. It is also impossible to reach the heights of their father, but it is very possible for Dragonax, even to surpass!
At that time, she will be the dragon mother of the entire dragon clan, the supreme dragon mother!
Just as Henestra was immersed in the fantasy of a future where all the five-colored dragons would surrender to her, a strange movement suddenly appeared in the space not far away. She was immediately awakened.
"It's ...... Unleash the energy fluctuations of teleportation! "Shafterstra suddenly became terrified." But how can this energy be so huge? ”
In her senses, large swaths of the nearby space began to surge with powerful arcane energy. There was also something unique to her very familiar—it was the breath of the Burning Legion.
Sinistra became terrified, Burning Legion. Aren't they all annihilated? Why is there another demon coming in?
"It's Kilgardan! Definitely! Sinestella thought of this possibility at once, "He has come to avenge Akmund?" Isn't it enough to ruin the outlands? This bastard! ”
She cursed under her breath.
"Dragonax, quick, melt me into nothingness!" Shafterra hurriedly shouted to the Twilight Dragon.
Dlagonax was puzzled for a moment, but quickly complied.
He unleashed his unique abilities, and the mother and son disappeared from this dimension.
And in the next moment, a huge portal appeared in the sky, and a legion fortress loaded with tens of thousands of demons flew out of the portal, and then a second, and then a third...... A total of ten huge legion fortresses teleported over.
The last to come out is now the leader of the Burning Legion, Kilgardan the Fraudster!
More than 600,000 elite demons entered this shattered world on a large legion fortress, and countless flying demons flew out of the open fortresses, quickly obscuring the entire sky.
This time there is no force that can stop the Burning Legion!
Kil'Gardan flickered his wings and slowly fell to the ground. The flames of his hooves scorched the ground, and the evil energy caused the nearby grass to wither quickly.
"How long are you going to hide?" Kil'Gardan's voice was mocking, "Elder God! ”
A dark green flame ignited between Kil'Gardan's hands, and as he cast the spell, the evil flame spread outward around him, and all plants quickly withered and burned wherever the evil energy passed. The earth of Nagrand began to tremble slightly, as if it felt the pain of the plants. It's like a small earthquake.
"Destroy this place, soldiers of the Legion." Kilgardan shouted, "Please show up our 'old friend'!" ”
Under his orders, countless demons scattered to all corners of Nagrand and began to pollute the last remaining green land with evil energy. This is a job that demons are very familiar with. They split up under the leadership of their respective captains and spread throughout the wilderness.
For a time, the earth was full of walking demons, and there were burning flames everywhere. This is no longer a pure land left in the shattered world, but a burning hell!
"Roar—"
There was a loud wail from the ground, as if a huge monster was lurking.
This is not a delusion. Countless thick tentacles and vines suddenly appeared on the ground, binding the unsuspecting demon and pulling it into the chasm that suddenly appeared. In just a few breaths, countless demons were devoured by the earth.
It was as if Nagrand had come to life. Or rather, it was meant to be a living thing!
There are also many tentacles and vines spreading towards Kilgardan. But the burning evil energy around his body scorched them all, and the tentacles shrank back as if they sensed pain.
Kilgardan sneered, "You finally can't help it. So, it's time to put an end to this qiē! ”
He waved. On the legion fortress in the sky, countless magical cannons began to charge.
Soon, the muzzles aimed at the earth burst into fire. The cannonballs exploded across the ground, blasting countless deep pits out of the ground.
The dirt and stones were carried away by the violent shock wave, and the whole of Nagrand was blown to a pulvered pulver. After a few rounds of shelling, there were no more large and small suspended lands in mid-air, and there were no living flowers, trees, or animals in sight. The whole ground has sunken a lot.
The loud wail that had just appeared sounded again.
Kil'Gardan had been able to see the gigantic monster that roamed the beneath Nagrand, an ancient god who manipulated plants, vines, and tentacles.
"Why, why are you here to destroy my world!"
The thoughts of the Elder Gods are conveyed.
"Because you're the god of the ancients." That's Kilgardan's answer.
The Elder God screamed and angrily asked, "But I have no intention of being your enemy!" Why won't you let me go! Titans, and demons, you're all crazy! ”
"You're half right. Titans are madmen. A bunch of madmen trying to correct their mistakes on the wrong path. And we, the Burning Legion. Responsible for eliminating errors. Kil'Gardan looked down at the ancient god who was parasitic beneath the land of Nagrand, "And you. You ancient gods, you are wrong! ”
Beneath the ruins of Nagrand, the Elder God began to rebel violently, roaring and writhing, shaking off the dirt and stones that covered it, and the earth began to shatter in real terms, and then its true face was revealed:
It's an unimaginably large monster - it's bigger than the original Nagrand, and even a legion fortress that can hold tens of thousands of demons is a drop in the bucket.
Its sturdy hooves were as powerful as pillars supporting the earth, and its broad back had originally held up the entire Outland. It has a centaur structure, a pair of strong arms, and a pair of horns that bend downwards on its head.
Some of Draenor's ancient texts contain illustrated copies of monsters resembling this form, known as the "Proto-Ancestral Thorn", a creature that had been hostile to Golon's ancestor, Margolon. They were born before the Raven Man, and no one knows exactly when they originated, because they existed in the world of Draenor, or the world of Alanca as Ansu called it, before any civilization appeared.
But I'm afraid that in the most terrifying description, the size of the original ancestor thorn beast cannot be higher than 100 meters. Compared to the ancient god in front of Kil'Gardan, who could hump an entire continent, it was simply not worth mentioning.
The thick tentacles and vines that had just reached out of the ground and grabbed the demon were really just the delicate hairs of the ancient god.
In the face of such a huge opponent, Kil'Gardan was not much nervous, he had conquered countless worlds, and he had also destroyed countless ancient gods, he had long known how to deal with such things.
"The ancient gods of the plant system are very rare." He spent all his time judging the ancestors of this original ancestor, the Jing Beast.
The Elder God roared angrily, "I was the first to find this place and transform this planet from a barren to thriving!" I didn't think about going to danger hài or anything, I just wanted to create a zào life! Why, why are the Titans and demons trying to stop me! ”
The Elder Gods are telling the truth.
Its name is "Immortal" Vanar, a rare plant that is the god of antiquity.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, Varnar drifted from the void to Draenor, where there was no trace of life, and then lived underground, and slowly used its natural ability to transform this place into a green planet, and also created the original ancestor thorn beast to maintain this world.
But then the Titans found it. After discovering the existence of an ancient god, the Titans fought it fiercely.
Just as the Burning Legion knew what to do with the Elder Gods, the Titans had their own set of methods.
However, for this kind of ancient god who has long been parasitic on the interior of the planet, and even the planet itself is dependent on its existence, the Titan cannot be directly destroyed, but can only be sealed. Because the elimination of Varnar means that the planet Draenor will also die.
After sealing Varnar, the Titan also created the zào stone giant "Margolon" to fight against its minions, the Primordial Thorn, and left several guardians to monitor the integrity of the seal. It is also the gods who dominate the skies of Aranca, such as Rukma, Ansu and Setai. (To be continued) R640
