Chapter 6: The Beginning of Everything (Part II)
At the southernmost tip of the Eastern Kingdoms continent, behind the Headwind Trail, there is a vast land that has been barely explored by humans.
In this vast area of nearly 300 square kilometers, only a handful of ogre barbarian tribes exist, and other than that, only a few adventurers will come here to explore because of some rare material collection tasks that can only be found here.
Although this vast area is full of forests and shrubs, it is still a nameless land for the major intelligent races living in the civilized world and Azeroth.
But all silence will change after today.
This wilderness far from civilization will have a great name - "Cursed Land".
In the most central part of this area, there is a very large rectangular ancient pond with obvious signs of man.
But it is strange that this ancient pond, which looks like it is covered with various vines and plants, but the interior is relatively intact, has not accumulated any rainwater in the past few years in the area deep in the jungle with abundant rainfall.
"Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!"
But today, everything has changed horribly.
With a clearly audible sound, like the sound of waves crashing on the shore, at the bottom of the ancient pool, a shallow, dark green energy pool of water suddenly appeared rapidly.
"Hiss!" "Whew!"
If the young mage named Khadgar saw this, he would have exclaimed the word "evil power".
That's right, this evil force called evil energy is surging rapidly at the bottom of the ancient pool, and countless animals living by the ancient pond are powerlessly emitting noisy and chaotic screams with the appearance of evil energy.
Whether it is a tiger or a spotted sheep, the muscles of these beasts are rapidly aging and shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, steaming out streams of strange gray-white smoke representing life force, filling towards the pool of evil energy.
First the animals, then the plants, whether they were tall and straight ancient trees or low and delicate weeds, they all withered quickly the moment the evil energy spread.
In the end, with the accumulation of evil power in the entire ancient pool, the surrounding dozens of square kilometers of land have been coldly eroded, and countless life forces have been forcibly plundered by the evil energy pool, the trees are not there, and the life is not there, almost artificially creating a hellish forbidden area that devours life.
Then, the attack of the vast evil power from outside the territory and the internal response of the arcane power in that tower from the Headwind Trail caused the sound of the outer space of Azeroth shattering to explode in the subspace.
In the middle of the entire dark green giant pool, countless evil power energies, with a mysterious law, finally penetrated the defensive space layer arranged by the ancient Titans in the void.
The huge portal opened in the center of the giant pool with the power of evil energy!
"For the glory of the Black Hand Clan!"
"Fight, fight!"
"Long live the Great Chief!"
······
Countless hideous-looking, tall and strong green monsters, holding their weapons aloof, fearfully beat the rough and quaint war drums, and howled out of the portal······
————————————————————
A sloping sunset casts a layer of crushed golden afterglow over the azure sea.
Not far from the shores of the Western Wilderness is a sprawling, new human town, with thousands of straight cooking smoke rising from the sunset, reflected in the faint crushed gold of the sea.
"Karen, did you really decide to go there?"
Unlike the countless civilians in the town who prepared dinner, in the heart of the new city, and where it was first built, the Basilica of Holy Yahweh, the Messiah stared solemnly at the young warrior who was half-kneeling before him.
"Kid, you know."
Behind him, there was a huge three-dimensional projection, the door of darkness opened, and the effects of the Orc invasion of the tribe were clearly played there.
The aristocratic officials in countless towns looked with great joy at the huge and powerful green orcs in the projection who could walk horses with their arms and stand on their shoulders.
"What kind of darkness are you going to face?"
"Holy See, I, can't watch my father, Anduin Lothar go to die."
This stately chapel, which is a thousand times larger than the original town church, is covered with cross-patterned and rose-patterned chapels.
"I believe this is God's guidance to me."
Anduin Lothar was once in a noble territory around the Elwyn Forest, and the child of a little nobleman's daughter, Karen Lothar, raised his head under the gaze of hundreds of people, and looked at the Messiah with some nervous eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the people sitting in the chapel changed, and the eyes they looked at the young man were completely different from before.
You must know that as a faithful and disciplined organization, the glory of the one true God in the Holy Light Cross Cult cannot be desecrated, and any statement that mentions the name of the true God will be solemn and irrevocable.
Moreover, the young man's words were too terrifying.
Before today, everyone only thought that he was one of the nearly 1,000 official rank of Judgment Paladin of the Church, and one of the young people whom the Holy Messiah highly valued, but they were far from expecting that he had such a prominent background.
"Son, you have a lot of courage."
Unlike Edward, who had always maintained the image of youth, the Messiah's current appearance was that of a stable middle-aged figure like his current age, he said in a deep voice.
The solemn appearance, coupled with a faint but nevertheless benevolent aura, made him very much in line with the temperament peculiar to a religious leader.
"Now that you've really made up your mind."
The Messiah's expression softened with his words.
At this time, the Messiah stared at this young man who was accidentally discovered by him seven years ago and had the same blood as Sir Lothar.
Although he had already known in the notice of the Lord God that he had traveled through the World of Warcraft universe before he came to bring this world, the future context only mostly followed the plot of that famous game.
But he didn't expect that he would meet an out-of-the-plot character who has a huge connection with the key "NPC" so early.
The name "Karen Lothar", if his memory is correct, should be an original character adapted from the live-action movie of that game, which does not appear in the real game plot at all.
"So."
"As the propagator of the gospel of God's Yahweh, the spokesman of the earth, I, the Messiah, will be in the name of God's Yahweh."
A two-handed sword, roughly 3 feet long, with a blood-colored round blade with a golden cross engraved in the middle, appeared in the Messiah's hand.
"Give you the strength to fight evil!"
In the following glorious wars of the Dark Gate, the appearance of Karen Lothar and his subsequent actions are related to a huge plan laid out by the Messiah.
Otherwise, who do you think can be guided by the "true God" at will? Change someone to talk nonsense, and be burned at the stake every minute!
Respectfully accepting the long sword handed by the Messiah with both hands, Karen only felt a divine and incomparably vast judgment power pouring into his body from the hilt of the sword.
"I will fight against evil!"
It seemed to come from the depths of his own blood, and the familiarity that made this long sword feel like his own hands and feet.
He couldn't help but say loudly.
"Spread the Gospel of God!"
Very well, the Messiah nodded with satisfaction, and his voice was even more holy and majestic!
"In the name of Yahweh God!"
"Give you, Sword of the Angel of Sdomka!"
The Messiah looked at the solemn crowd present, drew a big cross on his chest with both hands, and said solemnly.
In the chapel, everyone stood up in unison.
"In the name of Yahweh God!"
