Chapter 1020: Refusal
The power of the Holy Light contained in Zela was something that Edward could truly feel just by standing in front of her.
As Zella said, she gave Edward a portion of the power of the Light, and it is certain that Edward's Light will reach a new level - this is the first Naru created by the mysterious Elune, and the subsequent Naru are all her children, and with the nature of Naru made of pure Light, the title of Mother of Light is worthy of its name.
Even though Edward had now reached the level of a high-level demigod and possessed the rudiments of a godhead who "controlled the Holy Light", the Holy Light on Zela's body was also a great tonic.
Zela still recounted Illidan's experiences as a young man, but Edward was already deep in thought.
According to Zela, fate created Illidan and filled his previous experiences with gloom and suffering, including his absorption of the evil power from the skull of Gul'dan on the planet of Azeroth, which was also the dark side of Illidan.
And now, the time is ripe for Illidan to embrace the divine side and truly become the Child of Light and Darkness, the Chosen One.
However, Edward knew that the reason why he himself possessed two diametrically opposed energies, the Pure Light and the Dark Light, was the result of his forcible transformation of the core of his power. Illidan could not have mastered both the Light and the Evil at the same time, and it would take a great deal of perseverance and skill - just look at Edward's transformation of the core of his power.
If he wanted Illidan to receive the Light, unless he cultivated the Dark Light that suited him, the only way was to destroy his current body and recreate a new one.
In Zela's eyes, Edward might not refuse her offer of light, but Illidan is a rebellious demon hunter.
"It is our duty to destroy the Burning Legion, but I refuse to accept your Light, Zela. Edward looked at Zela calmly and said, "Although I am known as the Pioneer of the Light, the Light I use is of a very different nature from what you have. ”
"Mr. Edward......" Tulayan was a little surprised when he heard this. The corners of Aurelia's mouth turned up slightly, and she looked like she was really like this.
Zela fell into a brief silence before she spoke, "Edward, you came from another world, you have been of great help to Azeroth, and your countless exploits have shown that you are on the side of justice. ”
"But your presence has also shattered prophecy and filled the future with many uncertainties. If you refuse to accept my power, then those distorted fates will be corrected by you. ”
"Whose fate—Azeroth's? or Illidan's, or the Burning Legion?" Edward frowned slightly, unaccustomed to the other's lofty posture and commanding tone.
"All. Zela said casually, and ignored Edward, perhaps in her mind, Edward was only the helper of the chosen son, Illidan.
"Illidan, from the moment you were born, the Light in your eyes has infinite potential. Zela began to have a conversation with Illidan.
Illidan fell into a brief memory, and then said, "Ah...... I sacrificed that talent a long time ago. ”
"Don't you want to regain what you lost, to regain your whole you?" Zela's voice was soft as she appeared in everyone's minds.
"I just want to destroy the Legion now. Illidan's answer was once again unexpected.
"Child......" Zela seemed to sigh, and a particle of holy light was released from her body, slowly drifting towards Illidan, "You have lost too much and gained too little, your true potential and salvation are at hand!"
"Let go of this shattered shell and embrace the power of the Light!"
Particles of light lingered around Illidan, gradually condensing.
Edward's brow furrowed, as he thought, Zela was intending to destroy Illidan's current body and create a new body of Light for him.
Allowing Illidan to possess the Body of Light is indeed a good thing in the eyes of everyone. Lovely Dehua was a bit of a disagreement with Zela's approach - the Mother of Light wanted to forcibly transform his body without Illidan's consent, which in itself was a compulsion, just as the Burning Legion subjected many creatures to demonic transformation.
"I once traded my freedom for power, but it turned out to be painful for me!" Illidan's thoughts were similar to Edward's in one way, "For this, I lost my people, my loved ones, I lost my loved ones, and I became a traitor!"
"People don't understand why I'm doing this, they don't think demonic powers should be in an elf!"
"However, they don't know that everything I do is to destroy the legion!"
"I gave everything, and what did you give? Mother of Light. Illidan said one of Illidare's favorite words.
"I have given everything for the fulfillment of the prophecy, child. Zela's body began to emit a strong holy light, and the particles of holy light surrounding Illidan also began to condense into a halo of holy light, binding Illidan and forcibly shooting him into the air.
Prophecy ...... It must happen!" Zela sighed again, her tone becoming stern, and despite Illidan's struggles, she began to forcibly infuse Illidan's body with holy light.
"The past is gone, and the Light will give you a new lease of life!"
Edward's eyebrows furrowed even more, and like the others, he couldn't believe that the Mother of Light wanted to forcibly transform Illidan.
"It's not up to you!" Illidan roared as he struggled.
"The Light will heal your wounds!"
The green war streak on Illidan's body that had been left behind by the evil power had gradually turned golden due to the infusion of the Holy Light—the color of the Naru Holy Light.
"Trauma made me!" Illidan struggled as he intensified, and Edward could clearly feel the evil energy within him converging into his eyes.
"The Holy Light is your destiny!" Zela was still trying to persuade Illidan, but the Light on her body flickered even more brightly.
"My destiny...... It's up to me!" Illidan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his past experience made him understand a truth, the fate given by others is often the beginning of tragedy.
His eyes began to glow a dangerous green, and a thick rim of light shot at Zela, known as the Mother of Light, without hesitation!
The collision of evil energy and holy light triggered a powerful explosion, causing everyone to block their eyes.
When the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Tulayan and the others looked at Zela worriedly, and found that Zela's figure was still floating there, and they breathed a deep sigh of relief in their hearts.
In front of Zela, Edward opened his right hand and looked at Illidan with calm eyes, who had fallen into weakness after striking with all his strength.
