1819 Investing in Ionar or Zela? Is this still an option?
According to the information provided by the barrage, in the original history, after Zela was counter-killed by Illidan "with his eyes", Tulayan once wanted to kill the demon hunters who rebelled against his "fate" on the spot.
This had to make Sarean wonder if Tulayan would be against the Legion of Light...... Or rather, too much loyalty to Zela.
Truth be told, Illidan did have a lot of character flaws, but at least at that point, Salian didn't think he had done anything wrong.
For a person who had not established mutual trust at all when they met for the first time, Zela had no scruples to forcibly take action to reverse Illidan's so-called fate back to "where it was"...... To put it bluntly, she plans to remove the evil energy from the body of the "child of light and darkness" she refers to, and transform Illidan into a light-cast form.
She even skipped the treats and beheadings, and directly wanted to take Illidan as a dog.
As we all know, Illidan has always eaten soft rather than hard.
If you are kind enough to reason with him, Illidan is not the kind of person who is completely incapable of communicating...... On this point, Saray has a lot to say.
But Zela chose the most unacceptable method for Illidan, trying to force him down the path he had unilaterally chosen.
In that case, the Demon Hunter, who has been rebellious all his life and believes that my orders are up to me, will certainly not sit idly by, and Zela's death is not to be expected.
Interestingly, Veron, the son of the Light, who has always been favored by Naru, did not show any special signs of this, and decided to throw Zela's body into the Void Light Furnace as fuel on the spot, highlighting a waste use.
On the contrary, Tulayan, who should have been firmly on Azeroth's side, reacted very violently, and if it weren't for Veron's persuasion, Illidan, who was in a weakened state, would have really been hacked to death by him with a sword.
After a long discussion with the barrage, Sarean probably figured out the change in his mentality at that time by referring to Tulayan's personality and acting style.
It's not that Tulayan is loyal to Zela, he values the Holy Light Legion that Zela represents, a cosmic force that can barely compete with the Burning Legion.
At that time, Tulayan did not know that Ionar was still on the run, and at that time, in his opinion, as the first batch of lifeforms born during the cosmic order period, Zela was the only god-level boss he could find in the entire universe who was willing to take the initiative to fight against Sargeras.
Yes, true God.
Although Zela is very weak in the future of the barrage, it is only because she has just returned from the "bulk" state to the prototype and is in the weakest state of her life.
And Zela was too conceited to force a shot at the unruly Illidan before she could recover her form, and then she played away, blowing herself to pieces, and also shattering Tulayan's strong desire to behead Sargeras.
In other words, Tulayan's anger was more motivated by disillusionment than by some personal vendetta against Illidan.
This means that Turayan is not as loyal to Zela as some barrages believe.
Come to think of it, how could someone as shrewd and capable as Tulayan not see that Zela had fallen into a state of madness.
However, in the absence of an alternative, Tulayan can only bite the bullet and continue to follow the only Legion of Light that has any hope of breaking the Burning Legion's dominance.
To put it bluntly, this guy just treats Zela as a high-level cannon fodder specially used to hardtop Sargeras, and when everything settles, the life and death of the demon Zela will not matter.
The last words left by Sarayan before cutting off communication with Medivan were intended to test Tulayan's position, after all, these above considerations were only his speculation, and after all, it still depended on Tulayan's actual performance.
An attack on the main fleet of the Light Legion, led by Zela, is inevitable, and they will be met by the most elite forces of Kil'Gardan, and the decision Tulayan makes will affect Sarayan's attitude towards him.
As for Naru's pure energy creatures, Sarean also knows a little better, even better than some of the Legion of Light's diehards.
Naru has two different forms, light and dark, and once the holy light stored in their bodies is depleted, they will inevitably transform into the Void Naru.
I don't know if it was to avoid problems with the faith, but according to Adar, Zela never told the Lightforge warriors of the Light Legion about this secret, and forbade other Naru to reveal the information to any mortal.
Adar did not approve of Zela's approach of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and after arriving at Draenor with the Storm Fleet, Adar has always been open to Naru's dual form secrets, and has not deliberately concealed it.
In contrast, Zela's choice is a bit petty.
Normally, Naru does not have the ability to be directly involved in combat...... Unless he becomes an entropy demon, Naru's responsibility in battle is to add a bunch of buffs to his soldiers to maximize their combat abilities.
In a word, Naru's strength lies in improving the overall combat effectiveness of corps-level units, and expecting them to fight the Titans one-on-one is simply thinking too much.
However, because of Zela's deliberate concealment, Tulayan never knew about this important information, and he really thought that Zela had the ability to confront Sargeras head-on.
Of course, Tulayan was not stupid, and in the thousands of years that he had followed the Holy Light Legion in the warped void, he had doubted Zela's abilities more than once.
But at this point, as Zela himself said, it is difficult for Turayan to find a second true god in the vast universe who is willing to openly oppose Sargeras, and he can only stubbornly accompany Zela to continue walking.
There's nothing wrong with Zela's assessment.
Even if you look at the entire multiverse, the Fallen Titan Sargeras is at the top of the rankings, and no one wants to risk their lives and make a feud with Sargeras if their core interests were not violated.
Take, for example, the Shadow Realm Eternals, whom Salain is already familiar with.
Except for the warlike warlord and the ambitious Zoval, Sarrean does not believe that the other three Eternals have the ability and spirit to stand up to Sargeras.
As the stewards of the world of the dead, it is impossible for the Eternals not to be unaware of the raging Burning Legion across the universe...... After all, many souls who have entered the Shadow Realm still retain memories of their deaths.
However, because Sargeras could not threaten the Shadow Realm for the time being, the Eternals never thought of provoking Sargeras, and the two sides had been at peace for so many years.
From a small point to a big one, Elune's life side has also been silent so far, only providing some help to Azeroth.
But this can't be said to be that the true god on the life side focuses on the overall situation, and Saljan has every reason to suspect that the bigwigs on the life side also sold their favors in advance for the sake of Azeroth's face.
Among the six primordial forces of the universe, the Pantheon on the order side is temporarily on the dog leash, the life side and the death side are on the wall and the void side...... Thankfully they didn't help.
After all the calculations, the only people who are really willing to make a move are the Holy Light Legion led by Zela.
I have to say, this is really ironic enough, the best hope against Sargeras is actually pinned on a demon man.
Sarean's vision is wider than that of Tulayan, and he will not put his treasure on Zela, who may capsize at any moment.
At this stage, it is clear that Ionar, the mother of the gods, is more worthy of investment than Zela the Demon.
After all, the souls of the Pantheon Titans are still alive.
If Azeroth assists Ionar in a successful turnaround, the Pantheon's post-war recovery is predictable, and this favor is far from being comparable to that of a mere Zera. (End of chapter)
