Chapter 566: Heart-Warming Power

"It is easy to kill a man and destroy a life, but to resurrect the dead┉┉ Lord Arthas, can you do it?"

Facing the female necromancer's inquiry, Arthas pointed to the death knight Ganilon under the throne with frost sorrow and said, "Don't you see? This is my power, which revives the dead life, and then the dead who have slept under the earth awaken again, and the life that should have disappeared has been preserved because of my power!"

The female necromancer waved her bandaged hand, and as the dead space opened, a skeleton soldier in armor stepped out.

"Let a corpse act, these things can be done even by a mage apprentice who has just learned necromancy, but Lord Arthas, you should know that even if we can revive thousands of corpses, they are still undead in the eyes of the world, and even in our eyes, these awakened corpses are only the dead and will not be called the living. ”

In an instant, Arthas's gaze became fierce, and the invisible pressure became stronger because of the fluctuations in the Lich King's heart: "Do you mean to completely resurrect a dead person as a living?"

"Yes! ”

"It's impossible┉┉"

"But Lord Arthas, there are people in this world who can do it, truly cross the line between life and death and make the dead fully revived. ”

This time, Arthas's heart could not be suppressed, in the original book, why the Scourge Legion was able to sweep across the entire Azeroth continent, so that the Horde and the Alliance had to join forces to fight against the Scourge Legion, and paid an extremely heavy price. Is it because the soldiers of the Scourge are so strong, is it because the power of necromancy is unmatched? Unfortunately, none of these are the case!

You must know that the power of the tribes and alliances on the continent of Azeroth is even strong enough to subdue the dragons, even the army of insects formed by the ancient gods has been driven back behind the wall of quicksand, and even Akmund, one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, has been hated under the World Tree in the Battle of Mount Helga. Why was it so embarrassed in the end by a group of second-line troops created by the Burning Legion?

The reason why the Scourge Legion makes the living of the entire Azeroth continent fearful, is not because of the number of undead armies, the real fatal trouble is the rapid lethality and incurable nature of the Scourge infection, and the people who are killed as members of the Scourge Legion have no chance of reversing and recovering into the living, as long as they are contaminated with a little Scourge Plague on the battlefield, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a powerful paladin, they are equivalent to stepping on the road to the ranks of the dead. The only difference is that it's fast and slow.

Even the Holy Light can only purify the undead, but it cannot bring back to life those who have become undead, such as Grand Duke Berval, who was attacked by the betrayed Apothecary of the Undercity in front of the Scourge Gate. In the end, Bowval's fate turned into a monster between the undead and the living, and even the Red Dragon Queen's flame of life could not save Bolval from the doom caused by the natural plague.

Those who have been killed by the undead and tainted with the undead plague have only two paths, either ask others to kill them to avoid harming the world, or join the army of the undead and become the Lich King's minions.

In this otherworld. The irreversible transformation power of this undead plague remains. Even the Holy Capital and other aspects are very worried, these days, after the Scourge Legion retreated back to Zedi in frustration, the reason why the Holy Capital did not take advantage of the victory to pursue is that the undead plague released by Arthas has not been completely eliminated until now.

In the western part of the continent, due to the undead plague in several rivers by the Scourge, although the Holy Capital quickly connected with the secular kingdom to stage the rivers, there are still many people in the western part of the continent who are infected by the undead plague, and those who are unfortunate enough to be infected with the undead plague are dying almost every day, and then the corpses reawaken and start attacking the living. The Holy Capital also initially sent a large number of priests and apothecaries to try to treat the infected, but so far no one has been found to be able to stop the conversion of the undead plague to the living. The priests of the Holy Capital could only watch as the infected weakened every day. Until the flame of life is extinguished.

The helplessness in the face of the plague made the Holy Capital feel like a great enemy, and if he could not research an antidote to the plague of the undead, it would be equivalent to having no shield at all. If she rashly attacked the stronghold of the undead army, she could suffer unimaginable losses, and this loss would also be a huge blow to the prestige of the Holy Capital, in addition to the personnel, so Flora, as the supreme decision-maker, could only adopt a defensive policy.

The blue dragon and green dragon clans in the alliance of the dragon army behind the holy capital also know the danger of this plague, and both clans have sent members to join the research on the antidote to the undead plague, and after groping, a blue dragon has found a way to curb the invasion of the plague on the living, that is, the infected person has been frozen and kept in a state of suspended animation, although the plague cannot be cleared in the frozen state, at least it will stop eroding, and the infected can save their lives in this state and wait until the antidote to the undead plague is successfully developed before thawing.

Since it was uncertain whether the undead plague was also effective against dragons, the dragons who had increased their number of dragons in the Holy Capital did not dare to rush to the land where the undead gathered, so they devoted all their energy to the study of the plague.

For Arthas, the Lich King, the irreversible power of transformation is the most powerful weapon of the Scourge Legion, and it is a given fact that the undead can never get rid of it, and it is because of this that the Scourge is firmly rooted in this world like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

But if someone can resurrect the transformed dead into the living, if someone can break the 'absolute' nature of the Scourge Plague, this is undoubtedly equivalent to pulling out the sharpest minions of the Scourge Legion!

"In this world, only death is absolute, even the gods can't escape the doom of death, and it is impossible to bring the dead back to life┉┉" Arthas's tone was already tinged with anger, once even the holy light of the paladins could only save the soul of a warrior infected with the plague in the end, and even Naru, the source of the holy light, could not reverse the physical death.

"It is true that it is impossible for the gods to escape the doom of death┉┉In fact, even the most powerful gods cannot bring the dead back to life, but the great undead mentor of Lord Arthas, Aetholos, once left a record. There is indeed a transcendent being born in this world who can cross the boundaries of life and death, and she has the power to resurrect the dead who have returned to the sea of souls, not just relying on magic and death to move corpses like we do. It's about truly giving flesh and soul to the dead!"

"Are you sure?What the gods can't do, a transcendent can do┉┉" Arthas's snort grew heavy.

Ingham also took Finsenny's words at this time: "Ten thousand years ago, this transcendent who was called the Child of the Stars by the Master of the Dead fell, but now a new Child of the Stars has reappeared in this world, and the reason why we left the Isle of the Dead and went to the mainland is to find her. ”

“┉┉┉┉”

Undoubtedly, Ingham's words made Arthas fall into deep thought, and even Karthas, who was obsessed with death, was confused.

The lich's voice roared as if the truth of the faith had been tarnished: "Raise the dead again, and the whole world will be thrown into chaos." Without death, it is equivalent to breaking the rules of the cycle of life and death, and if this situation continues, the whole world will usher in only destruction!!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Karthas, but that's not what we're talking about. All we have to do is to find this new son and witness this miracle beyond the power of the gods from her, this is a pilgrimage for our dead, we only want to be able to see through the son of the stars with her power to see where the boundary between life and death is!"

These words of Ingham and Finseni undoubtedly touched Arthas, or more precisely, Neozu, who merged with Arthas's consciousness. After becoming the Lich King, Neozu lost his body and only his soul in the helmet of the Ice Crown. Although the spiritual power has been amplified, Nao Zu can control countless undead. But what is the point of losing the flesh and without the pleasures that the living can enjoy, even if the great power is only used to command a pile of bones and carrion?

The purpose of the struggle for power of intelligent beings is to enjoy, both spiritual and material. If rights cannot be enjoyed, then even being able to manipulate the lives of people will be meaningless. For Naozu, no matter how the world is changing, he who has lost his body and soul state and maintained himself in the world will always have to survive in this pathetic state, and if the distortion and loneliness of his soul were not for the sake of getting rid of the shackles of the Burning Legion, Naozu may have gone completely crazy under this torture.

Since you are destined to suffer this kind of pain for eternity, it is better to let all the people in this world become the burial objects of your own pain!

There is only a thin line between sanity and madness.

But what if there really was a power in this new world that would bring the dead back to life? if the transcendent one, known as the Child of the Star, could actually endow the dead with flesh and soul. Then he can get himself out of this deplorable situation and give himself a new lease on life

I don't know how many years it has been. The Lich King's mind had an extra thought that he couldn't even believe.

"Do you know where the Children of the Stars are?"

"Lord Bellsmore, the strongest lich soul leader on the Isle of the Dead of Atholoth, has judged from the records left by the undead mentor that the Children of the Stars have arrived, but the exact location of the Children of the Stars is unknown. In fact, Lord Arthas, we have come this time to bring an invitation in addition to greetings, hoping that you and your Scourge will join us in the search for the whereabouts of the Children of the Stars, the reward that many of our deceased have waited for for thousands of years. ”

Ingham pleaded in turn, "We don't have time to wait for the second ten thousand years, don't you want to see it?

Arthas didn't speak, but there was no doubt that the Lich King was tempted, whether this power was true or not, whether the Star Child was friend or foe, and even if he couldn't bring the dead back to life, the power of the Scourge might be able to be used by the Scourge herself.
