Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 572, Section 33: The Supreme Thief King's Crazy Carry! - Bonus chapter for "Diejia丨Guo" [410]

Although the Voidlings' vow to reclaim their homeland sounded inspiring, just thirty minutes into the war, Void creatures, pouring out of the largest void node in the Material Star Cluster, began their counterattack despite the bombardment from starships.

This is a void gate the size of a planet!
Its very existence is enough to turn the entire dim star field into a whole "void rift". Even though such a huge node has been sealed by the Void Spirits, it is enough for dangerous individuals in the Sea of ​​No Light to freely traverse in "massive" quantities at critical moments.

However, considering that this void gate was created by Dimensius, the Devourer of All Realms, the void servants that rushed out of the Sea of ​​No Light at this time were basically all followers of Dimensius.

Dimensius's race is "Voidwalker," and he is called "Voidwalker" by some warlocks who walk the path of shadow, also known as "Blue Fat Man."

This is a rather prosperous race in the Sea of ​​No Light, and Dimensius is not even the only Void Lord among the Voidwalker race.

The "Spectre" that Diakum "killed" earlier was Dimensius's "kin." Its scientific name is "Dark Lord," an energy entity that is a subspecies of the Ethereal Walker race.

The monarchs and followers of the Sea of ​​No Light mostly belong to the same race, and the followers of the Devourer of Realms are also soft, limp energy beings just like it.

Tens of thousands of “Negative Electron Space Dominators” shaped by void energy are the vanguard generals of the Void Walkers. They have larger and more solid bodies, and devouring countless energies gives them physical form. The countless substances they devour shape them into hideous half-body armor to restrain the energy.

These creatures also have two "lanterns" on their shoulders. These mysterious and dark objects attract all the energy around them, which then wraps around their eerie claws in the form of "negative electron lightning."

These energy beings, inheriting the insatiable hunger of the Devourers of All Realms, roared in a low, incomprehensible wail, frantically devouring all matter and energy wherever they went.

Philec's fiery dragon form and the flames he spewed were useless against these creatures; the flames were simply devoured by the ethereal walkers. Leading these seemingly weak but actually extremely dangerous energy beings was a colossal ethereal lord, whose energy body was encased in ferocious armor forged from cold, dark steel.

Enraged that the fire dragon's flames were ineffective, it slammed down and began to tear and fight against the void demigod.

The Phase Thief appeared on its scorching scales and shouted a warning:

"This is 'Pandmonus,' the lieutenant of Dimensius, the Devourer of Worlds, who has also devoured my world! Mighty dragon, do not entangle yourself with this dangerous 'Void Annihilator.'"

Your weapons and fire are useless against it; let the Lightwalkers deal with it!

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light shone forth.

Archbishop Orestes's Holy Light and Heavenly Fire struck Pandemonus with tremendous force, causing the Void Demigod to roar. However, Orestes remained fearless and summoned Ragnaros, the Lord of Light, to join the battle.

The Voidlings have been trying to hunt down the Devourers of Realms, and they are very familiar with the weaknesses of these Void Lords.

Each starship is equipped with a high-powered energy gathering device. Although the Voidlings cannot use Holy Light, they can use the heat from the two dying suns to create an attack that is like "burning ants with a magnifying glass".

The ethereal warships scattered throughout this starry sea fired continuously, each scorching beam of light capable of annihilating the endless stream of void energy.

However, some unfortunate warships were approached and possessed by an astonishing number of ethereal lords, who used their energy and matter-devouring abilities to bring those starships to a standstill, plunging them into a dark and lifeless state.

Because Saloras was drawing energy from the void with the Dark Heart, the large floating island used for combat was being pulled closer to the celestial ruins of Kalecgos, which resulted in the island being directly attacked by the most elite Void Lords under the command of the Devourer of Worlds.

The Five-Colored Dragon King was besieged by more than a dozen Void Demigods, all of whom were malevolent energy beings. Among them, the enormous "Dark Lord - Larva" could even rival Neltharion II in brute force in his dragon form.

These creatures' ability to absorb energy caused the Dragon Kings great suffering, and as energy beings, they were almost immune to physical attacks.

Because of their racial characteristics, they mostly follow the path of "darkness," "shadow," and "devouring." Wherever they go, the dark shockwaves formed by the superposition of their cold force fields almost create a hellish killing field that annihilates the body and destroys the spirit.

Fortunately, Rafaam brought along some of Azeroth's most formidable warriors.

There are no weaklings here, so naturally no one will be "killed by the field".

Faced with such an enemy, apart from the clumsy method of "exploding" them with massive energy, and the natural restraint of holy light and fire on the void, there is only one method left: "force clash".

Fortunately, Faram provided many powerful artifacts.

These things come in all shapes and sizes, but they are all basically designed to inflict extra damage on the ethereal lords.

This shows that the seemingly insane Rafaam was not stealing things randomly. His mind may have collapsed, but the remaining grotesque will was driving him to act towards a fixed goal.

At this moment, the mad and eccentric Supreme Thief King was rampaging across the battlefield in a carefree manner. He swung his strange energy gauntlets and with a wave of his hand, he extracted the power of the Void Annihilator that was attacking Khadgar, shrinking it to one-tenth of its size.

Then, with a shout, he channeled the energy into himself, transforming himself into a giant ten times taller. Amid Khadgar's thanks, he laughed and stomped down, crushing the dangerous Annihilator Lord into dust.

He then unleashed a flurry of "Lightning Tortoise Fists," extinguishing and burning the ethereal walkers who lunged at him.

But the creature quickly lost interest in this primitive and inefficient attack. It seemed to think there were too many Voidwalkers flooding the battlefield, so it raised its gauntlets high and unleashed a storm of crimson energy.

This move is called "Death Knell".

It's one of the three ultimate abilities that come with Rafaam's strange gauntlet, and its effect is outstanding. The shooting blood-red lightning instantly clears the airspace around Rafaam.

But the tenfold growth of "Light of Energy" ended at this moment, causing Rafaam, who had returned to his original state, to stomp his foot in great displeasure. He then waved his hand to summon a large number of strange mummies and launched the bizarre move "Mirror of Doomsday: Mummy Coffin Lift," howling as they pounced on the surrounding void lifeforms.

"Hey kid! You're already exhausted after only a short time? Are you the legendary 'Slender Dog'?"

Rafaam blinked out and landed right next to the injured Rhonin, launching a rather sarcastic taunt.

The red-haired archmage had a hideous Void Claw mark on his body, but beside him were the cold armors of two slain Annihilator Lords. After losing the power of the world, Ronning's combat strength was already quite impressive.

Faced with Rafaam's ridicule and teasing, Red-haired Rhonin simply sat there healing himself, panting as he waved his hand, signaling it to go play somewhere else.

"Ouch, you're hurt! How could you be so careless?"

Rafaam laughed and opened his gauntlet, unleashing the second effect of its third ultimate ability, "Mirror of Doom," which grabbed Rhonin and pulled him into a "crawling room" filled with children's toys.

Ronin felt as if he had become one of those children's toys, and after Rafam switched his position with another toy, he was thrown out.

Luo Ning felt nauseous for a moment, as if his soul had been stuffed into another body, but this was just an illusion after the "transformation." Moreover, Luo Ning discovered that his serious injuries had healed in an instant, and he was back to full strength.

As a price, one of the toys in the Mirror of Doomsday has been completely destroyed.

"Go on, don't be a greyhound anymore."

Rafaam chuckled and kicked Rhonin in the backside, sending him back to the fight.

But a few minutes later, the Supreme Thief King noticed that Archbishop Saloras, who was maintaining the ceremony ahead, was being attacked. Four Void demigods were besieging the Archbishop and Aegwynn, who was responsible for protecting him.

Each of the four ethereal lords possessed distinct armor and markings, signifying their extraordinary status. Rafaam blinked, the names of these creatures surfacing in its chaotic memory:

"The Greedy" Arcnus, Ivaridus, Omnus, "The Void Baron" Galasis!
These four were all trusted lieutenants of Dimensius, the Devourer of All Realms. They had all participated in the catastrophe of devouring Kalecgos, and countless Kalecgos died in the collapse of the void tunnels they had torn open.

Ah!
These guys deserve to die!
"bang"

Aegwynn used a super spell to shatter the body of a Void demigod. Although the "Limited Invincibility" granted by the Primal Staff protected the two from being harmed by the other three Void demigods, the land beneath their feet was pulverized by the "matter collapse" caused by the fall of the Void demigod.

The ripping apart of the ritual site caused the Dark Heart in Saloras's hands to show signs of going out of control.

This is a divine artifact that Diakum created to bear the eclipse. It is a treasure belonging to a lesser god. If Saloras were to lose control of it, it could very likely lead to catastrophic consequences.

At this critical moment, Rafaam suddenly appeared above the shattered land.

The mad and deranged Supreme Thief King grabbed the Heart of Darkness, and the moment he touched it, the luxurious bandages covering his entire body shattered, turning it into pure energy. He then raised the Heart of Darkness high and continued the ritual.

"Ah ah ah"

A trembling scream, like being electrocuted, echoed across the battlefield; the pain was palpable.

But the Supreme Thief King still clung tightly to the Dark Heart in its hand, lifting it up and ignoring the annihilation claws slamming down from the Void Demigods before it, as if all it could see were the ruins of Kalecgos.

It howled and cried out:

"The great Rafaam wants to shout! My girlfriends in Kalecgos, you must bravely live on! And my bastards, eldest, second, and third, although you have no right to inherit, you will always be my seventeenth favorite!"
Ah, my castle, my cellar, my tower, my treasure room!
As I vowed when I left.
Ha, I had forgotten those vows, but I'm back!

Karesh, I'm back with the most skilled 'phantom thieves' I could ever trick!

Witness me!!!

In its beastly and mad roar, the power of the Darkheart was pushed to its limit.

Voidlings are beings born from the void energy of the Devourer of Worlds, and they are also considered "semi-void beings." Theoretically speaking, a powerful void thief like Rafaam could indeed wield the Darkheart.

But this will inevitably come at a terrible price.

As Aegwynn and Saloras looked up, the void node surrounding Kalecgos spun even faster, but Rafaam's humanoid energy form, which should have been like other ethereal beings, suddenly went "out of control".

A dozen or so “people” were struggling to break free from the same distorted energy body.

They howled, trying to break away from this "group," but Rafam, enduring excruciating pain, cursed them:
"Don't move! The great Rafaam is doing important things, all you other 'me's' better shut up! Help! Rafaam's Phantom Thieves, help us!" it shouted madly.

He actually withstood the terrifying burden of the Dark Heart all by himself.

However, both Saloras and Aegwynn were super spellcasters, and the two ladies saw through Rafaam's biggest "secret" in that instant.

“This thing isn’t a single spirit! It’s a dozen spirits compressed into one body. No wonder it’s so insane. It’s the same consciousness stitched together from a dozen dead people.”

Saloras sighed and said:
"Alas, Kalesh's tragic creation."

"What's there to be sentimental about at a time like this?"

Aegwynn was clearly more rational; she tossed the Primal Staff in her hand to Saloras, indicating that she should use the staff, which could grant "Limited Invulnerability," to protect Rafaam.

As for Aegwynn herself, she transformed into a raven on the perilous battlefield, leaping up like an arrow and landing on the head of Lysages, who was flying across the battlefield, amidst the flying cannons. Aegwynn then transformed into human form and grabbed the Thunder-Eating Blue Dragon's horn, cursing:
"Lesajers! Stop playing your ridiculous storms here. Your lightning is useless against them. Every ethereal walker here can absorb your lightning."

go!
Let's get closer to those two suns!

"why?"

Enraged by its inability to kill the enemy, Lysages swung its massive tail in its Storm Dragon form, sending several Void Lords flying, and roared:
"What are those two solar panels for? They're almost out."

"madness!"

Aegwynn looked up at the two only crimson light sources in this dark star field, recalling Diakum's explanation of the "concept of power," and at that moment she rebuked him:

"You are walking the path of 'storms.' Aren't solar storms storms? Aren't cosmic storms storms? If you can't even understand this basic concept, how can you expect to reach a higher realm?"

"Holy crap! I feel like you're talking in your sleep, but what you're saying makes so much sense!"

Lysages was rebuked but couldn't refute it. Then, urged by Aegwynn, he turned around and flew away from the battlefield towards the two red dwarf stars.

Of course, even if Lysages worked himself to death, he could never actually reach the surface of the sun.

But this is a magical world, and all they want is a "symbol of flying towards the sun".

When both Lanlong and Aegwynn could feel the scorching heat of the two dying suns shining on their bodies, with the help of the Star Soul Spokesperson, Lysages attempted to unleash his own storm within this solar light.

But it's difficult to control.

This is its first attempt to stir up the sun's light at the "conceptual" level; it had never imagined such a "storm" form before.

The sun's rays did not obey her at all, not even with Aegwynn's assistance. Just then, the gloomy Ilydikorn flew across the battlefield, creating raging mountains and boulders that rolled down and brutally smashed through the Void Lords blocking his way.

It shouted at Philek, the "brainless" one who had transformed into a giant dragon:

"Lesages can't control the solar fire, but you can! Go help! You two must join forces to unleash a 'solar storm'!"

"what?"

Philec paused for a moment.

Its war-crazed mind was clearly unable to comprehend this advanced "elemental reaction," but in that instant, it had an epiphany.

If solar storms can be considered "storms," ​​then isn't solar fire also "fire"?

The Fire Dragon roared and broke away from the battlefield, flying into the sky like Lysages, letting the two suns shine on it until it could no longer withstand the terrifying heat, at which point it took a deep breath.

It spewed out scorching and terrifying solar fire, and then, under Lysages's manipulation, finally formed a "true solar storm".

But these two creatures knew they might only have one chance to attack, so the Fire Dragon and the Thunder Dragon, under Aegwynn's command, worked together to eventually shape this true solar storm into a scale that could sweep across the battlefield.

This is probably the first time in countless years since Kalesh fell that such terrifying light and heat has erupted in this dark star field.

Amidst the cheers of countless Voidlings, a terrifying fireball, as large as the sun and enveloped in an intensely hot coronal storm, slammed violently into the ruins of the Kalish planet.

The scorching, bright solar storm swept across the battlefield, carving a strip of ash across the battlefield where it reached, amidst the endless stream of ethereal walkers emerging from the sea of ​​lightless expanse.

It was spectacular!

The "Blood-Boiling Combo" unleashed by the two dragons together was even more effective than Diakum's "Anser's Sun Fist".

But this attack, which came down like a "solar fist," immediately alerted the Voidwalkers. In Rafaam's frenzied sacrifice, the Darkheart's energy extraction never stopped, and too much energy had already been absorbed from the Void Node.

What's even more deadly is that the Dark Heart extracts more than just ordinary void energy.

That greedy creature has been extracting the "devourer's essence" left here by Dimensius. It is the "pillar" that supports the Void Gate and a delicious treat that can "transform" the Dark Heart.

Once it has completely devoured the "Essence of the Devourer" from the ruins of Karesh's form, the "Eye of Fear" will collapse due to energy depletion.

As a result, countless ethereal practitioners swarmed up to it, like an ant colony defending against an enemy!
They used their thirsty bodies to block the bombardment of the solar storm, constantly consuming themselves and pushing back, until finally, after burning the three Void Demigods to death, they vanished from the storm shaped by the sun's fire.

Lysajers and Philec tried to repeat their previous tactic, but the next second several ethereal lords surged out from the collapsing space around them, determined to interrupt their thrilling combo.

The Sea of ​​No Light could not allow itself to be collapsed and purified in the greatest rift in the material world. With the Devourer of All Realms, Dimensius, unable to arrive in time, the Void Lords quickly sent a "substitute".

Under the watchful eyes of the entire battlefield, a bizarre and indescribable "Void Wraith" swayed its body and slowly crawled out from the spinning "Eye of Fear".

The creature had a black, solid upper body and ferocious claws, wearing a strange, morbid helmet and monster-like shoulder armor. Abundant void energy sculpted dark wings of light on its shoulders, the kind only a "God of the Void" could possess.

Not only is its body filled with void energy, but it also reveals its violent fel energy side in its random transformations. This guy is a "Frankenstein's monster" created by the two forces of void and fel!
Most importantly, it's huge!
Its head alone was the size of a hill. The moment it appeared, it swung its claws at Rafaam, who was howling like a ghost. Saloras used the "Limited Invincibility" granted by the Primal Staff to block the annihilating claws.

But the next second, the Primal Staff burst open and cracked to Saloras's astonishment.

The limited invincibility effect that allowed it to withstand the power of a demigod without taking damage has shattered. Therefore, the monster in front of us is another lesser god from the Sea of ​​No Light.
"Retreat! Prepare for retreat!"

A helpless signal came from the ethereal flagship.

They were unwilling, but the lesser god before them was clearly not a powerful enemy that could be dealt with by starships alone.

The mortals' perseverance had reached its limit, forcing even the Sea of ​​No Light to overturn its table.

Even the void has its own dignity; the fact that it first resorted to lesser gods in the mortals' war of restoration was a clear sign that it "couldn't afford to play games."

"Heart of Darkness!"

Saloras saw Rafaam being sent flying, the Dark Heart in its hand being drawn towards the Sea of ​​Light by the terrifying lesser god. In that instant, the archbishop couldn't care less about anything else.

This artifact was forged by Diakum and was a crucial magical tool that allowed Dick to survive the eclipse. If he lost it, his beloved would face great danger.

That symbolized hope for the future—not just Dick's hope, but the hope of countless others.

Nobody can take it away!
"Sister! Don't go!"

At that moment, Orestes, who was of one mind with Saloras, turned around in horror and saw her sister rushing towards the lesser god who had already raised its claws like a moth to a flame, clutching the Dark Heart to her chest and then curling up into a ball.

The next instant, the claws that could annihilate everything crashed down.

"bang"

Like the deafening sound of steel blades clashing.

A blinding burst of light suddenly erupted in the dark sea of ​​stars, like a newborn sun.

"boom"

The starships exploded almost simultaneously at the edge of the star field.

The bad news is that the Twinworld Walker lost its precious starship, most of its collection, and a small number of followers. The rare cargo that was supposed to be sent to the Shadowlands also perished in this "plane crash".

What a heavy loss.

The good news is, we made it.
