Chapter 199: Soul Imprisonment, Lord of the Scourge
Gauss had seen an animation before the crossing, and it was a scene in which Arthas, the death knight, was alone, faltering, and always hunched as he struggled to move his steps on the way to the Frozen Throne.
He had just experienced a bloody battle, but any joy of defeating the enemy, the pride of being proud of the others, and the grandeur of an immortal commander could not be seen in Arthas. All he had was exhausted, and the journey to the Frozen Throne symbolized that the cursed prince was dying of the verdict of fate.
Through the screen, Gauss seemed to see painful and helpless memories echoing in Alsace's mind.
As the beginning of fate, King Terenus once said: "My son, on the day you were born, the whole forest of Lordaeron whispered a name, Arthas ......", and it was from this moment that Arthas somehow lost its will and became a perfectly marked symbol of Lordaeron.
Arthas was perfect, possessing all the good qualities that everyone expected, and a love affair with Gianna that might have twists and turns, but when Arthas realized his historical mission and bravely assumed the duties of Prince Lordaeron and Paladin, fate repeatedly mocked him.
When the Scourge broke out, the undead plague appeared in Stratholme, and many citizens were infected, and Arthas realized that the only way to stop the spread of the plague was to slaughter these citizens, and he was burdened with unbearable guilt and guilt, and he did so at the time, but at the cost that his mentor Uther and his lover Gianna had left him.
As a result, Alsace completely collapsed.
As he transformed from a Prince of Lordaeron yearning for the Light to an avenger who vowed to destroy the Scourge of the Dead, he led a fleet on an expedition to Nordson, and while he pulled out the sorrow of frost in the depths of Icecrown, he also fell into the dark abyss.
At every turn of fate, there may be a voice haunting Arthas's mind, warning him that he should stop from the precipice and not make mistakes again and again, but when Arthas feels cut off from the world, no voice gently summons him and gives him enough courage to climb out of the abyss.
The Scarlet Crusader Lord Tyran Fording would wake up to the small war hammer that his father gave him when he was a child, and even die at the hands of his mentor in order to return to his father, but Arthas, it seems that he only has a heavy mission and responsibility, but no one has ever given him such a chance.
"Alsace......" Gauss thought about it, but still hesitated.
Since he can bring Whitemayne to the Scarlet Abbey, he can naturally arrange a turning point for Arthas's fate, but compared to Whitemayne, Arthas not only held the Frost Grief, but also served as the Lich King for a long time, and there are too many things involved, obviously it will be very troublesome to deal with.
Perhaps, it's time to talk to Alsace?
As soon as Gauss thought of this, he removed the Helm of Dominion from the Lich King's head.
Even if a mythical lich only has a head left, it can naturally make trouble, but in the hands of Gauss, of course, the mirror doppelganger is on the side, constantly applying some spells to this head, and the situation is easily controlled.
With the Helm of Domination, the head is the Lich King, but taking the Helm of Domination, it becomes Arthas.
Resurrect allies!Using Arthas as an ally, Gauss reshaped his body with the power of death.
Although there is only a head left, the soul fire is not extinguished, and the death knight will naturally not die.
When the body was reforged, Arthas opened his eyes and silently met Gauss's eyes.
The meaning in his gaze was indescribable to Gauss, as if his heart was like a dead ash, and it was also an ice field when he looked at it.
"Meet, I'm Gauss......" Gauss held out his hand.
Arthas stared blankly, and didn't respond, just turned his head and glanced around.
The dimensional halo is still exploding, and it should cause some damage to Arthas, whose strength has fallen, but he seems to have lost his senses, and he actually behaves more indifferent than the previous Lich King.
Gauss smiled bitterly and re-evolved the dimension, replacing the power of the Holy Light with the power of time.
"It should be more comfortable. He had nothing to say.
The two were silent for a moment, and Gauss finally came up with an idea, picked up the Frost Sorrow, and deliberately asked Arthas, "The soul of King Terenus should also be imprisoned in this sword, do you want to release him?"
Hearing this, Arthas's body trembled inexplicably.
Seeing his reaction, Gauss immediately said, "The souls imprisoned in the sorrow of frost, if I make a move, I can resurrect them." But if you are bent on death, I will not stop you, but there is really no reason for you to resurrect the imprisoned souls. So, you might as well think about it, whether you want to die a hundred times and just die, or let me resurrect them, and you will also live with difficulty, and spend the rest of your life to atone for your sins......"
Unexpectedly, Arthas's expression became complicated.
Gauss added another fire at this time: "By the way, there are actually two ways to resurrect those souls, one way is to resurrect them, they will be common undead creatures, and the other method can not only make them look the same as normal humans, but also raise their life attributes to the legendary level at the same time......"
It goes without saying that the second method mentioned in his words, naturally, is the same as the previous transformation of undead creatures, which is to put the soul in Frost Sorrow into an active corpse, and then wait for the corpse to recover, and then inject the miracle blood serum, using a strong serum reaction to accelerate the fusion of soul and body.
There is no shortage of materials for the miracle blood, and before returning to Azeroth, Gauss really prepared a lot.
"Can this really be done?" Alsace was skeptical.
Gauss had an idea: "Do you want to try it yourself?"
Arthas did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.
Gauss was slightly stunned, and then picked an active corpse from the dormant space and placed it in front of Ars.
This male corpse, although it is a Chinese face, black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, but no matter the figure and appearance, it is extremely outstanding, although it is a little unbearable before death, it seems to be a white-faced person, but it is dead, so naturally there is no need to care so much.
"Don't resist...... Gauss gestured to Arthas, then reached out and grabbed his soul from his body and placed it in the living corpse.
Arthas's soul, as soon as it was placed in the active corpse, the corpse showed signs of revival in an instant.
Seeing this, Gauss immediately poured a miracle blood into Alsace's new body.
The whole transformation process needs to last for a while, Gauss arranged a Heavenly Feather, and handed over the follow-up treatment and rescue to the mirror doppelganger, but he took the Frost Sorrow and went to the side to study it.
Although he may not be able to build the rune sword of Frost Sorrow, he always has the knowledge.
After pondering for a moment, Gauss came to a conclusion.
While there is no doubt that Frostmourn is a scourge artifact, it is not a true artifact in essence.
A real artifact, the energy will be like a power brand, forming a complete cycle, so that no matter how high the level is, as long as it is not urged, it will not radiate power outward, but the frost sorrow is radiating the power of frost all the time.
However, in terms of function, Frost Sorrow is indeed an indispensable artifact for the Scourge Legion.
Inside this rune sword, like a soul stone, a space is generated for souls to dwell. Killing the target with Frostmourn not only steals the soul and extinguishes the soul's free will, but also completes the transformation of the undead.
Of course, there is also a limit to the soul that Frost Sorrow can contain, and if it can accommodate about 10,000 souls, the soul space will tend to be unstable, and at this time, it is inevitable that some gaps will occur, so that some souls will have a chance to escape from it. This may be another major reason why the Scourge always has some undead who can escape the Lich King's shackles.
Seeing the sorrow of frost, Gauss took up the Helm of Domination again.
"Don't wear it......"
Alsace's new body, despite the violent serum reaction, struggled to give a reminder.
Gauss comforted Arthas and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with Naozu......"
As he spoke, he threw the Helm of Domination to the mirror doppelganger.
Although the mirror doppelganger does not have independent growth, at this level, it naturally has a soul. It's just that this soul is a temporarily generated mirror soul, which is very different from a normal soul.
Taking the helm of domination, the mirror doppelganger smiled, and decisively put it on. And in the next moment, Gauss clearly sensed through the psychic connection that the Helm of Domination had a huge soul power, infused into the mirror image of the body.
There is no doubt that the soul power in the Helm of Domination naturally comes from Nao Zu.
Nao Zu was once the most powerful shaman in Draenor, and his soul power was naturally strong, but then again, even if Nao Zu's soul power was strong, now trapped in the Helm of Domination, it was naturally easy to deal with. There are many spells in the Warlock and Death Knight classes that target souls, so it's really easy for the mirror clone to clean up Nao Zu.
But Gauss Zhi is not here, no matter how capable the mirror doppelganger is, he can only abandon the spell and rely on the power of the soul alone to fight against Nao Aozu, and such a confrontation, the mirror clone is not Nao Zu's opponent due to the abnormality of the soul.
After being entangled for a long time, the gaze of the mirror doppelganger gradually became cold.
However, at this moment, Gauss disbanded the mirror technique.
As soon as the mirror art was dissolved, the mirror doppelganger disappeared out of thin air, and the Helm of Domination fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Gauss summoned the mirror doppelganger again.
At this time, he smiled at Arthas, and he was completely sure in his heart.
Gauss blessed himself with a soul barrier, then picked up the Helm of Domination and put it on.
As soon as he put on the Helmet of Domination, a huge soul power was infused into his body. Immediately, the words of the soul belonging to Nao Aozu also immediately echoed, constantly bewitching him: "Let's merge into one......"
"All in one?" said Gauss.
Nao Zu's soul power was isolated by the soul enchantment, and naturally it could not achieve its goal.
But then, the two did merge in another way!
Nao Zu was so earnest, Gauss was embarrassed to disappoint him, so he mobilized a bit of divinity, and instantly generated a sub-mind, and used this sub-mind to take the initiative to merge with Nao Zu.
There are two parts of divinity, one mind and two uses.
The mind is one main and one pair, the main and the deputy are visible and the other is hidden, and the main mind naturally suppresses the deputy mind.
In this way, Nao Zu was imprisoned in his body by Gauss in a strange way! Specifically, this kind of confinement is actually Gauss who combined the soul power of Nao Zu with a sub-mind to generate a Lich King soul!
This Lich King's soul, although in the secondary position, still belongs to Gauss in the final analysis.
In other words, Gauss became an atypical Lich King!
Naturally, there are great benefits to doing so.
Through this strange combination, Gauss not only used the sub-mind to copy all the knowledge of Naozu, as long as he took off the Helmet of Domination, he could immediately obtain it, but also directly took over the Helm of Domination according to the ownership of the Lich King. And Nao Zu still has some things left behind in the Helm of Domination, his two power imprints, and hundreds of thousands of units of divine power.
The imprint of Naozu's power is related to two abilities, one is the control of the undead, and the other is the Frost Calamity.
This orc mythical shaman transforms into an undead, and the original shamanic abilities disappear, both of which were cultivated later.
Under normal circumstances, injecting the power brand into the artifact can neither create an artifact, nor can it rely on the artifact's urging ability, but the helm of domination is the soul parasitic of Nao Zu, and the power brand is not actually combined with the armor, but relies on the soul power of Nao Zu, so the helm of domination is equivalent to a living thing, and therefore has become a very special artifact.
Gauss took over the Helm of Domination, of course, he would not be polite, and immediately imprinted his power into his own body.
The brand of power belongs to Naozu, Naozu belongs to the Lich King, and the Lich King belongs to Gauss, so this transition is not difficult at all, it is equivalent to Gauss storing what belongs to him in another place. And when this process is complete, it is only natural that he will take the Lich King's ability to control the undead and frost directly for himself!
I'm afraid this is another case of Azeroth stealing other people's abilities besides Thor!
Interestingly, in Gauss's body, he not only has the soul of the Lich King, but also the ability of the Lich King, but he is not the traditional Lich King, but another Lord of the Scourge who is completely different from the Lich King!
The divine power in the Helm of Domination is transformed from the power of will.
The Lich King's Wish comes from two sources, one is the Cult of the Damned and the other is the Scourge of the Dead. Compared to the two, although the Cult of the Cursed God is a sect organization that worships the Lich King, the power provided to the Lich King is far less than that of the Scourge Undead.
For the undead of the Scourge Legion, the Lich King is naturally a belief, and such a loyalty may not be distorted through the Frost Grief, and the undead resurrected by the Lich King's own hands, whose will is infected by spells, also have the same effect.
These hundreds of thousands of units of divine power, needless to say, Gauss also laughed at it.
After transferring his powers, he took off his Helm of Domination.
As soon as he took off the Helmet of Domination, Naozu's soul power was automatically stripped out of the Lich King's soul.
At this time, Gauss not only regained his freshness, but also made a large windfall.
He had the ability to control the undead, and all the knowledge of Naozu, and the actual helm of domination was useless.
But even if you want to destroy it, you can't choose it at this time.
A few copies of the Scourge Legion, harvested with the Helm of Domination, are invincible.
By this time, Alsace had completed serum modification.
He stood aside and watched silently for a while, feeling amazement.
Seeing Gauss approaching, he finally asked, "What do I need to do?"
Gauss laughed: "Lead the Miracle Eye, protect the ...... of Azeroth"
