Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 176 73. What can the Bronze Dragon do? The Bronze Dragon is also desperate.
The khaki vortex of time danced and turned into a door. Amidst the chirping sounds, a dwarf with a bun and a white robe walked out of it, leaning on a large staff.

She was still yawning, looking unlucky as if she was still sleepy and forced to go to work.

The appearance of a strange dwarf in the sacred place guarding the dragons is obviously not normal, but considering the bronze dragons have their own national conditions, it is not easy to make a casual judgment. But after this little girl appeared, the ferocious and strong dragon beast guards around her bowed respectfully to salute her, which shows that she must be a high-ranking member of the bronze dragon army.

"So, what bizarre incident happened in this long-sealed timeline that caused you to panic and report to the Scale of Quicksand? It's like a boar man whose toes were stepped on!"

The little dwarf looked up proudly at the two young dragons dressed as high elves in front of him.

She put her hands on her hips, looked very old-fashioned, and said:
"You're not rookies anymore, so I'm guessing there's a fluctuation in the direction of fate in this timeline."

"No, Master Chromie, the future of this timeline remains unclear and no different from every day of the past ten thousand years."

A young bronze dragon explained nervously:
"But we may have discovered the culprit causing the problems in this timeline! Just a day ago, he crashed with the orc fortress near the Black Swamp on the eastern continent. After his appearance, the activity level of this timeline suddenly increased by at least three levels!"

"Yes Yes."

The other young dragon nodded vigorously, her eyes widening as she said:

"We followed the instructions of the Scales of Quicksand and didn't alert the enemy. We just observed closely. I swear, we absolutely didn't do anything we shouldn't have done!"

"Wow, this tone of trying to cover up something is exactly the same as when I made a mistake and lied to Her Highness Soridomi!"

When Chromie heard the two young dragons' unnecessary assurances and noticed the panic in their eyes, he immediately realized that the two rookies must have messed up something, which was why he urgently asked for help from Quicksand Scale.

"Hehe, just be thankful that it was me and not someone else, otherwise you two would have been in trouble! Get out of the way, I want to see what the heck you've been up to."

The powerful "big shot" put aside the priest's staff he used to disguise his identity, rolled up his sleeves, pushed aside the two recruits, and strode to the time hub platform in the center of the Cavern of Time.

This is where all the timelines managed by the Bronze Dragon Legion converge. It is like a mirror that can see everything that happens in their timeline through sophisticated time manipulation. It is said that at certain times, the bronze dragons can even catch the figure of the long-missing Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu.

Unfortunately, the Bronze Dragon King, lost in the web of time, never responds to anyone's call. Only those bronze dragons who are lucky enough can encounter their leader by chance during their journey through different timelines.

As for Chromie.
This guy is the most troublesome of all the dragons in the Bronze Dragonflight.

Her "name" has even spread to other guardian dragon legions, but because she can cause trouble, her ability to solve troubles is also very strong, and she is often sent by the Quicksand Scale to deal with some very troublesome matters.

Such as right now.

As the two bronze dragon recruits exchanged glances that indicated a "disaster is about to happen", Chromie's skillful manipulation of time allowed her to see the scene from a day ago.

She saw Medivh summoning the Dark Portal in the Black Marsh. She had seen this scene countless times in different timelines, and she no longer had any emotional fluctuations. She just calmly muttered:

"The Dark Portal opened a year and seven months earlier than the normal timeline. Logically, even a minute's change in this 'pillar of history' event would directly cause a huge problem in the timeline. However, considering that this timeline is already outrageous, this small change is not a big deal.

let me see. "

The little dwarf reached out his hand and clicked professionally, pausing the time in front of him. He then stroked his chin like a famous detective, checking the details worth noting in the scene before him frame by frame as if sliding a video.

"Well, Blackhand didn't come, but Orgrim has become the Warchief. Kargath and Grom Hellscream, who weren't supposed to be in the First War, also showed up, but the representative of the Burning Blade Clan is Azuka, the daughter of Old Dal. Wait!

Why is Garrosh here too?
And why is he holding a Draenei-style battle axe in his hand and charging with the Draenei?
What about these Lightforged?

Aren't draenei usually gentle? Why do they have so many dangerous Lightforged in this timeline? They look even more formidable than the ten-thousand-year-old veterans of the Army of the Light.

Hmm, this timeline change feels really exciting."

Chromie's eyes widened. She discovered many details that interested her just from the images in front of her. Then, when she enlarged the images and slowed them down at ten times the speed, she quickly discovered more details that were worth pondering.

"Grom Hellscream was injured, his soul burned by the Holy Light. Tsk, this is a shock left by the Force, it won't be so easy to recover. But why do these orcs have strange black wolf tattoos?

Everyone has one!
Is this some strange belief?
The Draenei, orcs, and even ogres and arakkoa who fight against them all have a common faction emblem, etc.!

I even saw a dead forest spirit!
Oh my god, according to Zhalfir who went on a business trip to Draenor in a certain timeline, the forest elves became extinct long ago after the big bad guy Gul'dan locked the elements of the world and brought about fel pollution.

So, in the Draenor world of this timeline, someone gathered all the races except the green-skinned orcs to establish a low-profile version of the "Anti-Magic Alliance", and relied on them to beat the green-skinned orcs so hard that they had to ask Medivh for help in advance to escape?
Isn't this the 'reverse Iron Horde' timeline?

Oh my god, it’s the opposite of Tian Gang! "

The knowledgeable Chromie kept exclaiming, and one after another "time nouns" that only the high-level members of the Quicksand Scales knew kept popping up. Her excitement made the two recruits look confused.

They simply couldn't understand what Master Chromie was so happy about.

Although this timeline was sealed by the Bronze Dragon King ten thousand years ago, it has encountered such a big problem now. No matter how you look at it, this is not something to be happy about, right?
Could it be that the outrageous rumor within the Bronze Dragon Legion is true?
It is said that when Mr. Chromie was hatched from an egg, he was kicked in the head by a mammoth man, so his thinking has always been strange since he grew up.

"Alright, alright, you two don't have to stay here. I roughly understand the situation."

Chromie soon heard the whispers of the two guys behind her. She turned around and looked at them fiercely, feeling really worried about the quality of the next generation of warriors of the Bronze Dragon Legion.

Look at this silly kid, he doesn't even know how to say bad things behind people's backs.
"Tell me, what stupid things have you done?"

She said seriously with that funny little dwarf face:
"Tell the truth, and I will reduce your guilt."

"Well, after we saw the appearance of the Draenei 'Diachem Zastins', who was suspected to be the culprit of the timeline chaos, we wanted to try to repair this timeline by correcting his personal fate."

The young dragon answered honestly:
"We sent the Ashbringer, who didn't belong to him, to Mograine, and intervened in their teleportation, sending the orcs to the Tauren, and sending the Lightforged to Northrend, trying our best to return the timeline to its normal form, but..."

Before the recruits could finish their words, Chromie held his forehead and sighed.

She knew that this was a common mistake made by novices, who always thought that restoring the incorrect time phenomenon to "normal" would ensure that there would be no problems with the timeline, but time has always been a complex concept.

Not to mention that this timeline has become distorted like this. Its problems had already begun to emerge more than 20,000 years ago. At that time, the guardian dragon was still fighting the "Dragon Incarnation War" with the wasteland worshipers. Therefore, what happened here was simply not a situation that could be handled by "fake normality".

These two recruits had a very poor understanding of the basic course "Time Logic".

"but what!"

She glared at the two recruits and said:

"Tell me clearly, what other stupid things have you done?"

"It wasn't us who did it, it was those bad guys from the Eternal Dragon!"

Another young dragon hurriedly explained:
"We don't know what went wrong. After Diak'um entered Azeroth, the seal of this timeline was broken, and an eternal dragon calling itself 'Mighty Aeonus' slipped in.

It found Diak'um, and we were powerless to stop it, so we had to ask the Scale of Quicksand for help."

"Aeonus? That hateful wanted criminal!"

When Chromie heard the familiar name, a murderous aura emanated from her petite body, and her eyes turned into majestic yellow snake pupils. She said:

"Thank goodness you didn't show up rashly! Aeonus was a fierce warrior in the Eternal Dragon Legion, dedicated to interfering with all history related to the opening of the Dark Portal. Many of his people died at his hands, and he died at our hands many times as well.

But neither the Bronze Dragon nor the Eternal Dragon can truly die, so it's a tie. But where is Aeonus?"

Chromie said doubtfully:
"I haven't sensed its presence in this timeline. Did it escape?"

"Uh"

The two young dragons looked at each other.

They swallowed at the same time and whispered with undisguised fear:

“It’s dead!

He was completely killed by Diak'um, who used the Twilight Hammer that should have belonged to Cho'gall to corrode the Eternal Dragon's soul, making it unable to manipulate time and then frightened to death.

In addition, we also discovered that the soul of the Doomsday Overlord Kazzak was sealed in Diakum's staff.

The great demon is dead, and it cannot return to the Twisting Nether to be resurrected. Moreover, Diakum is using holy light to cleanse its residual soul and try to cultivate some strange thing, who knows what it is!
Master Chromie, we are indeed new recruits, but we also observed the events of the Ancient War during our classes at the Holy Land of Time. We feel that this Diakum is very dangerous. Even a high-ranking member of the Quicksand Scales like you may not be his match."

"Hahaha, be more confident, I definitely can't beat him."

Chromie laughed, waved his hands and said:

"I'm not a fighter. I rely on my brain to navigate the martial arts world. If even a powerful Eternal Dragon like Aeonus has been killed, then I'll just die if I go up there."

"Ah, this. What is there to be happy about?"

The young dragons were frantic, screaming:
"Shouldn't such a dangerous 'Time Disruptor' be dealt with? Why are you still so happy?"

"Because an Eternal Dragon died, isn't that worth being happy about?"

Chromie put away her smile and said seriously:
"Also, don't call Diakum a 'time-space disruptor'. Your understanding of basic temporal science is too poor!

He is the fulcrum of this history!
He is the soul figure of this timeline, just like the status of Thrall and Arthas in the normal timeline.

If he died, this timeline would fall into absolute collapse in a short period of time, and even evolve into another 'End of Time'.

But now that it's been confirmed that the person causing the timeline fluctuations was a draenei, no, an eredar, that explains why this timeline was so distorted before the War of the Ancients."

The "master" of Quicksand Scales put one hand on his waist, rubbed his chin with the other, tilted his head and rolled his eyes as he said:

"The seeds of change were sown long before the fall of Argus, directly triggering the drastic changes of the War of the Ancients. Back then, I was still a dragon egg. To exaggerate a bit, the current situation in this world is almost entirely caused by this Diak'em Zastins.

Well, worth watching!

Definitely worth watching.

You two should go back to your original timelines and report to your respective superiors. Don't hide what happened here and the stupid things you did. By the way, get out of here and read "Introduction to Basic Time" for another ten years!
I will then personally set questions to check your learning outcomes."

She waved her hands fiercely and said:

"I could have handled the Time Worm outbreak in the Andorhal barn by myself in your time, but I asked you to come here as 'warehouse keepers' and you caused this kind of problem.

Go ahead.

I will temporarily take over your position and continue to observe the direction in which this outrageous timeline will extend."

After driving away two young dragons that almost caused a disaster, Chromie was left alone in this empty Caverns of Time.

This is not the only timeline sealed by the Bronze Dragon Legion. The world of Azeroth has the blessing of the Titans, and the time of this world has formed a unique network structure that protects the fate of this world.

Once a timeline deviates too much from the "destiny" protected by the bronze dragon, then this timeline will be abandoned and sealed, and those annoying eternal dragons will gather in these abandoned timelines. The war between the Scales of Quicksand and the Eternal Dragons also takes place in such collapsed timelines most of the time.

However, this timeline is still unique!
According to what the powerful Chromie learned from his inquiries, this timeline was originally under the charge of the Bronze Dragon King himself. Before the disappearance of the powerful Nozdormu, he attached great importance to this timeline.

The previous timeline sealed by Nozdormu himself was called "End of Time". The final direction of that timeline was "all things died". The entire world was swallowed by the void, and even the soul of Azeroth was unable to extricate itself from the corrosion of the void.

Therefore, Chromie has enough reason to believe that there is a lot of secrets in this timeline!
Because of her natural and unconventional nature, she likes things that look dangerous but are always related to important things.

"I should visit the place where Aeonus fell."

Chromie grabbed her staff, waved her hand and threw out a time vortex. After walking into it, she appeared in a remote ravine in the Redridge Mountains. Then she found that the Eternal Dragon had been burned to ashes.

All the keel were taken away.

"It's truly dead. There are no more ripples of it in the time network. This is something only the most orthodox Void Force walkers can do."

Chromie's expression was serious. She whispered:

"But Diakum is clearly a descendant of the Holy Light, worthy of being the one who caused the twists and turns of fate. Just to what extent has the potential energy of fate accumulated within him? How could two opposing forces love him so much?
Alas, it's a pity that our Bronze Dragonflight has no 'law enforcement authority' on the world of Argus, otherwise I would really like to witness the birth and growth of Diak'um with my own eyes."

"If you're really that interested, you can ask me directly. I'd be happy to share my story with the cheerful Lady Dragon."

A gentle voice speaking the most classical dragon language sounded beside Chromie, causing the bronze dragon to shudder and disappear from the spot, jumping away from here in several consecutive time jumps.

Diakum, who had just "disappeared" and hidden in the shadow of the valley, "waiting for the rabbit" for more than ten minutes, looked helpless.

"Am I really that scary?"

He slapped his face in frustration. He was originally very happy to meet Chromie, his "old friend".

But soon, the furious Chromie returned to the valley. She transformed into a giant bronze dragon, floating in the air and roaring:

"You! Draenei, remove the strange perception you cast on me! What kind of evil magic is that? Why can't I wash it away even with time?"

"Oh, that's not my magic, Lady Dragon."

Diakum raised his finger, revealing his Heart of Argus.

He explained:

"It's just that the Supreme Lord I serve wants to talk to you, the 'Titan Servant'."

The Star Soul of Argus also coughed twice at the right time. When he was about to speak, he saw Chromie in front of him screaming, turning from a dragon form back to a human form, and falling into the valley with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust.

Diakum's eyes widened as he stroked the Heart of Argus and said:
"What evil enchantment have you cast upon her?"

".Scared to death. Tsk, a servant of the Titan, but such a coward."
