Chapter 986: Flesh Curse
The Flesh Curse, the product of the ancient gods who were unwilling to fail after being sealed by the Titans, can change the shells of living beings, and even turn mechanical or rock lifeforms into flesh and blood races. The gnomes and dwarves of Azeroth are now the descendants of the Flesh-cursed Machines and Earth Spirits, while the humans of Azeroth are the further cursed descendants of the Flesh-cursed Veku.
In addition to Sylvanas's soul being completely distorted by the Void Lord, her newly resurrected body was also cursed by flesh and blood.
To Edward's distress and shock, Sylvanas had another life in his womb, also corrupted by the Flesh Curse.
Sylvanas was slain by the former Lich King and turned into the Forsaken, and she was later accepted by the Dark Light and transformed into the Avenger. Under the long-term purification of the dark light, he became the first resurrected person since the birth of the dark light.
For an existence like Sylvanas, even Edward had never encountered it, and it was impossible to purify her with experience.
"It's unbelievable. Furding looked at Sylvanas who was quietly suspended in the cage of the holy light, and said with a stammering mouth, "I really didn't expect that the ability of the dark holy light to purify negative mana would be so strong. Forgive my contempt for the Resurrected, but now it seems that the Resurrected can indeed change back to her original race. β
Edward didn't answer, staring at Sylvanus with twinkling eyes for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"There's no way to treat her?" Hermione said worriedly, taking Edward's arm.
"There's no way around it yet. Edward smiled bitterly, "I believe Sylvanas's soul curse can be dissipated over time, but the flesh curse of the body is more troublesome. It was a power that was entangled with her flesh and blood, and it had almost become a negative talent in her body. β
"And what will happen to Sylvanas if this flesh curse is allowed to continue?" asked Fordin.
"I'm not sure. Edward replied, "Flesh curses usually weaken a person's body, but it is not a certainty. β
"Take the Viku people, the Viku people have a double flesh curse, and the result of the second layer of the flesh curse is to make the descendants of the Viku people evolve into humans. However, although humans are inferior to the Veku in terms of lifespan and physical strength, it cannot be said that humans are inferior in talent to the Vikus. β
"The Void Lord and the Old Gods must be disappointed, their intention is to weaken all races on Azeroth, but the humans, gnomes, and dwarves born from the curse of flesh are not much weaker than their ancestors, but more powerful. β
"What a man with a rough fate. Hermione first heard of Sylvanas' story and showed deep sympathy, "The destruction of her beloved homeland, watching her loved ones be slaughtered by the Scourge Legion, while she herself became an accomplice. I finally found my true love and freed myself from a corrupt fate, and now this kind of thing is happening again......"
"If I were Sylvanas, I would even doubt that I would have survived. β
"I think that's why Sylvanas was able to be the first to be resurrected. Edward said, "Since Tyran's discovery of the Dark Light, so many awaiting resurrections on Azeroth have not succeeded in becoming resurrected, not even Tyran herself, but she has succeeded, and this tenacity has played a big role. β
The Undercity awaiting the resurrection standing in the throne hall all looked proud when they heard Edward say this about their queen, but they were worried about Sylvanas's current condition.
But their fears did not last long, and from the room behind the throne hall, Hayley, Sid, and Ciri walked out exhausted, followed by the fallen Prince, who had just been resurrected and looked very weak.
But even so, it made all the awaiting resurrections present rejoice. Sylvanas is their queen and role model, and the paladin, who is the chief commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, is their guardian. His presence has given the Undercity a strong voice in Azeroth.
As soon as Cullen saw Edward, he knelt down in front of Edward: "Instructor, I have failed your instructions, I have disappointed you. β
"You've done a great job, Karen. Edward smiled and helped Cullen to his feet, looking up and down, "Yes, the strength has entered the Legendary Battle Rank, and after seeing you, I can imagine how fierce the battle in front of the Tomb of Sargeras was." The Burning Legion must have paid a huge price to keep you and Varian there. β
"I'm still the first person to resurrect the Legendary Battle Rank, and it's really hard to go through. Hayley gasped, "Karen, don't sacrifice again, I don't want to experience this experience a second time." β
"I swear, there won't be any more. Cullen looked at Edward and Hayley and laughed, with these two present, he suddenly felt that the pressure that had been pressing on him for a long time had weakened a lot, and he relaxed physically and mentally.
"Ciel, what's wrong with her?" After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Cullen noticed Sylvanas who was trapped in the Holy Light Prison and floating in the air sleeping.
Cullen glanced around at the people present, and finally turned his gaze unkindly at Tirio Fortin.
"It's not Tirio's problem, he came to the Undercity only to transport your body to the Chapel of Light's Wish. Edward explained, "The situation of Sylvanas is the work of the Void Lord, and the situation is so serious that even I can't solve it completely. β
"Void Lord?" Cullen frowned in confusion.
............
In one of the rooms in the Undercity, Edward briefly recounted what had happened, and Cullen listened through gritted teeth, finally sighing deeply and helplessly.
"I thought I could bring happiness to Hill, but I didn't expect her to ......"
"When the Burning Legion came again, at the meeting on the establishment of the Dalaran Anti-Demon Alliance, the current Blue Dragon King Kareh received a revelation from the Bronze Dragon and foretold the fate of Ciel, and I was also concerned at the time, and I have been trying to keep her away from the whirlpool of war. β
"And after we both had children, I also thought that CarrΓ©'s prediction of the future would not happen, but I didn't expect ......"
"Don't worry, the future can change. Hermione and Cullen weren't familiar with each other, but she couldn't help but feel the tragic fate of Sylvanas.
"That's right, and the future of Sylvanas depends on your efforts, Karen. Edward said, "Although the Flesh Curse is a curse, it is actually the beginning of a change. Sylvanas and your children may be able to give birth to a whole new race in Azeroth. Between the Resurrected, the Dawn Elves, and the Humans. β
"And now, your most important job is to turn Sylvanas's soul around. As for the Flesh Curse, it will take a while to study. With that, Edward looked at Sid.
"I will!" Cullen clenched his fists, "I'm not going to let Hill go back to that miserable fate again! β
"Man, I have a crush on you, a good man who takes care of the family, just like me. Sid grinned, "I'm interested in this flesh curse. I'll stay at Rivendell Fortress to study this Flesh curse, and if there's something wrong with your wife that you can't solve, I'm the right one. β
"Thanks, I'll bother you with the Flesh Curse about Hill and my child, Mr. Sid. Karen said, "Instructor, I'll leave the command of the Demon Hunter Knights to you now, forgive my ......"
"Take care of your wife with peace of mind. Edward patted Cullen on the shoulder and said, "Hayley will stay here to guard us against the Old Gods, and I'll be heading to Dalaran soon to take on the Burning Legion." β
After a few more conversations in the council chamber, Edward returned to Rivendell Fortress with Sid, Hermione, and Ciri, while Hayley remained in the Undercity.
When Edward and the others returned to Rivendell Fortress, Anduin and the others had been waiting in the council chamber for a long time. As soon as he saw Edward return, Anduin couldn't wait to greet him.
"Teacher, I finally see you again!" At this time, Anduin was wearing a gorgeous set of paladin armor, and although his face was still very young, he no longer had the immaturity of the past.
"The little paladin has grown into a good demon hunter paladin, and I think you're going to be a great king. Edward patted Anduin on the shoulder with relief and said, "I regret your father's affairs, and I can't do anything about those whose souls have dissipated. β
"This is the glory of the father. Anduin could not hide his sorrow, but he replied strongly, "One of the many words he taught me was that the best place to be a warrior is to die on the battlefield defending the people, and he did it, and I believe he will rest in peace." β
Edward patted Anduin on the shoulder again with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the others, "Viren, Tyrande, Malfurion, Gianna, and my dearest Mr. Muradin!"
"We're all excited to see you again, Edward. Viren said with a smile on his tree-like face.
"This is the best news we've heard recently. Malfurion laughed too, "Didn't Legolas come with you?" Hamuel didn't say anything on the surface, but I could tell he missed his disciple very much. β
"I'm sorry, Legolas has important things to do. β
"You look stronger than you were when you last came. Gianna gave Edward a deep look, "The book you gave me about the Holy Mage is very useful, thank you." β
"I can see it, Gianna. Edward smiled, "How have you been in the past few years? Have you found the lover you like?
"Yes, but soon. Gianna smiled bitterly, "I underestimated His Majesty Kael'thas perseverance, but my life in Silvermoon City has been very pleasant in the past few years. In addition, I would like to thank you for giving me the Holy Light, which has given me a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people, which is why His Majesty Kael'thas thinks I am the best candidate for the Elven Queen of Dawn......"
"Although it is a little unfair for me to say this, I still want to say that I wish His Majesty Kael'thas success......" Edward laughed.
As soon as Edward's words ended, everyone burst out laughingβat a time like this, everyone was happy to see Kael'thas and Gianna combined. Not only is she the queen of Theramore, but she is also a member of the Kenrito Council, and if she is united with Kael'thas, she has all three identities: Alliance, Horde, and Neutral, making her perfect fit to walk between the Alliance and the Horde in order to unite the forces of Azeroth.
"Hey, and me, look here, Edward. Muradin, who was easy to ignore because he was a dwarf, jumped a few times to attract everyone's attention and said, "Edward, it's a pleasure to see you again, how is the Dragon King Xingyao doing?
"I've heard that this lady Hermione is also your wife, and you seem to owe us a glass of wine?" Muradine nagged.
"Well, if you're going to have more than one drink. Edward half-crouched, shook Muradin's hand, and teased.
Hermione stood there with a flushed face, bewildered.
"What happened to the Undercity? You've been there for so long?" Tyrande asked with a smile, "And the Lady Seeker didn't come back with you, did something happen to resurrect Karen?"
"That's better not true. "I went to see my sister, she was in a terrible condition and drove me out of the Undercity, and I can't imagine what would have become of Cullen if she hadn't been resurrected. β
"Rest assured, Karen has been successfully resurrected. Edward's smile narrowed, "But Sylvanas's situation ......"
Edward briefly recounted the events of the Undercity, causing the otherwise cheerful scene to fall into solemnity.
"You should go back, Anduin. Viren broke the silence and said, "If there is something about the Void Lord, I will leave it to the Demon Hunter Knights to solve." Edward, in order to prevent the erosion of the Void Lord and the Old Gods, I want you to mobilize the Demon Hunter Knights. β
"Understood, I have issued the order. Edward said, "Whether it is the Alliance or the Horde, their leader will have Demon Hunters around them to prevent the whispers of the Old Gods. β
Everyone nodded reassuringly.
Anduin then followed Viren back to Stormwind through the portal, while the others chatted with Edward for a while before leaving.
"Winlessa, is there any news of your sister Aurelia?" asked Edward as Winlessa was about to leave.
"She has returned, with Archbishop Tulayan. Wen Leisha glanced at Edward, "Now she's in the Secret Passage Stronghold of the Supreme Ridge, and she's in charge of teaching the hunters of the Anti-Demon Alliance. β
"Oh...... , he and Tulayan ......"
"What do you want to know, it's better to go to her yourself. Wen Leisha shook her head and said, "After all, she has been through a lot in the past few years. β
