Chapter 1953: Twin Realm Walker: Quack! I don't want to be a dog!
Although the remnant soul of Saratas, who resides in the Blade of the Dark Empire, has been cleared by Sarjan, the aggressiveness of the magic dagger against the soul has not been greatly affected by this.
At the beginning, Salaan only annihilated the will of Salatas in the remnant soul, but kept the remnant soul itself intact, and from this remnant soul gave birth to a new consciousness like a blank sheet of paper.
This newly-born will naturally became the weapon spirit of the Dark Empire Blade, and although it could not completely make up for the loss of Salatas, it could at least ensure that the quality of this magic weapon short knife would not fall off a cliff.
As a creation on the Void side, the Twin Realms Walker can clearly perceive the threat that the Dark Empire Blade may pose to him, and once he is stabbed into his body by this thing, it will be difficult for his soul to get a good death.
In such a contrast, the promise given by Salian is very valuable.
As a bigwig-level figure on the void side, although the Twin Realms Walker has never personally entered the Shadow Realm, he is no stranger to the term itself and the meaning it represents, and he knows that the Shadow Realm is the ultimate destination of all souls in the material universe and the paradise of the dead.
The Twin Realms Walker was neither stupid nor naΓ―ve, he knew that Sarren would definitely not let him go, and in that case, it was time to start thinking about what was behind him.
"Good, refreshing."
Seeing that the Twin Realms Walker was subdued, Sarian squatted down in satisfaction and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "First of all, I want to know what the situation of your masters is now. β
"Void Lord? Heh~" The Twin Realms Walker, who was seriously injured and lacking energy, smiled self-deprecatingly: "I want to correct one thing first, the Void Lord is indeed the culmination of all Void creatures in theory, but they are not my masters, never have been." β
"Oh?" Salian asked with interest, "Tell me more." β
Through the Unabashed Explanation of the Twin Realm Walkers, Sarjan roughly understood his relationship with the Void Lord.
To use an example that is easy for the Azerothians to understand, the Lord of the Void is the equivalent of the Titan of the Pantheon, and the position of the Twin Realms on the Void side is similar to that of Gianna, who has no direct connection to the Pantheon...... Or Egwen, Medivan, it's all the same thing anyway.
The Void Lord was aware of the existence of the Twin Realms Walker, and had always wanted to take him as his direct subordinate and assist them in their grand plan to transform the material universe.
However, the Twin Realms Walkers, who have always been solitary and free, do not want to be dogs, nor do they want to be colleagues with the Elder Gods, the Seeds of the Void whose appearance and mind are equally twisted.
In terms of positioning, the Twin Realms Walker does belong to the Void Side, but he has no deep connection with the Void Lord, and is an independent and powerful individual on the Void Side.
According to the Twin Realms Walker himself, since the destruction of the Ethereal Spirit's home planet, he was infected by the power of the void escaping from the universe by chance, and was transformed into his current form.
The Twin Realms Walker is very talented in the path of the void, and in a "short" period of tens of thousands of years, he has grown from an unknown ethereal spirit exile to a bigwig who even the Void Lord has tried to woo in every possible way.
However, for the Ethereal Spirit, an individual like the Twin Realm Walker who could perfectly suppress the power of the void in his body was only a special case after all, similar to the evil power of Illidan.
The Twin Realms Walker who didn't want to join the Void Lord gradually realized his own specialness, and he had the idea of forming his own force, hoping to transform it with his experience of perfectly controlling the power of the Void...... Or to transform more like-minded compatriots.
This is how the Shadow Guard Ethereal, who once left a prominent name in the Eredas region, was born.
However, the good times were short-lived.
The power of the Void is like an evil power, constantly eroding the will of the wielder.
As the source of the power of the Void, the Lord of the Void is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed by all individuals who master the power of the Void.
Not everyone can be as special as the Twin Realms Walker, and the Shadow Guard Ethereal Spirit, which he personally formed, has encountered big trouble in the process of development.
As those Shadow Guard Void Spirits walked farther and farther on the Void Path, the Void Lord's gaze was projected unexpectedly.
Tempted by the Void Lord's incessant whispering, almost all of the Shadow Guard Ethereals indulged in the bright future depicted by the Celestial Visitors, and gradually left behind the restraint and mindfulness taught by the Twin Realmwalkers under the temptation of power.
As a result, the Shadow Guard Ethereal Spirit was completely out of the control of the Twin Realms Walker and completely became a lackey under the command of the Void Lord.
After suffering a major defeat, the Twin Realms Walker did not immediately abandon the Shadow Guard Void Spirits who had betrayed him, but hid in the shadows and continued to observe their subsequent progress.
That's right, the Twin Realms Walker treats his fellow Shadow Guard Ethereals as guinea pigs for experiments, which can be regarded as waste recycling for him.
Over the years, through the covert surveillance of the Shadow Guard Ethereals, as well as the information he had repeatedly pulled and obtained with the Void Lords when he was recruited by them in the early years, the Twin Realms Walker had a lot of information related to the Void Lords.
At least in terms of intelligence on the Void Side, he knew more than the Pantheon Titans, who didn't specialize in it.
After receiving all the valuable information from the Twin Walkers, Sarjan fulfilled his promise to give the half-dead Twin Walkers a hard time, and personally opened the door to the Shadow Realm and sent him to Olipos for arbitration.
It's not that Saljan treats the Twin Realms Walker with special favor, but because the Shadow Realm's arbitration system has been temporarily suspended after the AI Arbitrator went down.
If the Twin Realms Walker is sent to the Shadow Realm through the usual means, there is a certain chance that he will be stuffed into the Abyss without trial.
The decisive battle in the Shadow Realm was approaching, and Sarjan didn't want to send ammunition to the Abyss at this time.
Although the strength of the Twin Realm Walker is already among the top among the demigods, his outcome is predictable in the face of the true god-level Denatius and the warden Zovall.
Speaking of the suspension of the arbitration system in the Shadow Realm, Sarjan also has a bit of a headache.
Since there is no Denatius to interfere with it, after the AI Arbitrator goes down, all the souls that flow into the Shadow Realm will not be poured into the Abyss, but will be randomly assigned to the Abyss, Olipos, and the Four Kingdoms.
Sarjan didn't want to gamble on the probabilities, so he simply personally led the soul of the Twin Realms Walker to Olipos and handed it directly into the hands of the God Servant.
"So."
When Saljan arrived in the Eternal City of Olipos, the three Eternals gathered as expected, debating the question of who should replace the Arbiter.
"Have you come to a final conclusion?"
"Hey~"
The soldier master rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "The problem is here, the three of us have no confidence to carry this mess left by Zoval." β
Salian shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively: "What's there to worry about, the AI arbitrator is only temporarily down due to a program error, and it is not that it will never recover." β
"With the help of this intelligent program with amazing computing power, the incoming arbitrator only needs to make his own decisions on some major issues."
"That's what I said." The Winter Queen smiled bitterly and spread her hands: "Forget it, Salian is not an outsider, I'll tell the truth." β
"The problem is not the difficulty of the arbitrator's job, but the fact that none of us can let go of the 'nest' that we have painstakingly managed for countless years."
"Got it." Salian complained jokingly: "Simply put, path dependence? None of the three of you want to actively step out of your comfort zone. β
"But this problem still has to be solved, if the position of arbitrator is allowed to remain vacant, even if on average only one-sixth of all souls who enter the Shadow Realm, considering the total number of deaths in the entire universe every day...... Settle the account yourselves. β
"I'll put it mildly, it's a proper act of the enemy, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for Zovar and Denasius." (End of chapter)
