Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 575, Section 36: Rivals Among Competitors, A Decree of Suicide Sent to My Beloved Dimensius - Bonus Chapter [710]

(Bonus chapter for "Diejia | Guo" [7/10])
Dick declined the grand invitation from the Node Princes of the Voidfolk, making his decision clear to these Voidfolk envoys. He would not intervene in the Voidfolk's decision regarding the distribution of the continent of Kalecgos, nor did he have any interest in using this opportunity to introduce the doctrines of the Holy Light into the Voidfolk civilization.

Of course, if any ethereal being is willing to embrace the Holy Light, Saint Diakum would also welcome them.

The Vigilant's only request of the Voidling leaders was that he see the Voidling fleet in the subsequent war against the Burning Legion.

This sounds like a broad requirement, since the Vigilant has neither specified the number of fleets nor required any particular faction to join the war in the Star Sea.

However, the spirits were shrewd; they knew that the Watchers didn't need to make definitive statements.

The demons on the Burning Legion's side won't listen to the Voidlings' explanations. Once Voidling rebels appear on their battlefields, regardless of which faction's Voidling fleet participates in the slaughter of demons, the scope of the attack will definitely expand to all Voidling factions.

Moreover, the Order of the Legion has been constantly fighting the Burning Legion both openly and covertly, and their cooperation with the Burning Legion has now reached a stage where they "only talk about money."

There was absolutely no personal connection or favor to be discussed between the two sides.

More importantly, by attaching themselves to the Vigilante, the leader of the People of Light, the commercial markets in the Holy Light Realm are destined to be deeply open to the Voidlings, which is enough to offset the losses caused by the cessation of trade with the Burning Legion.

The ethereal merchants were very shrewd with their accounts, so the node princes readily agreed to the terms.

Apart from the Void factions that are too deeply entangled with the Burning Legion and can no longer turn back, these Starsea merchants will eventually raise their glorious battle banners in the Starsea as “enemies of the demons.”

The most ingenious part was that the ethereal merchants, who valued "resource coordination and never making empty trips," took this opportunity to secure trade licenses for both Draenor and Azeroth in one go.

This will allow their trading posts and ecological domes to be established quickly in two prosperous lands.

But the battle had left everyone exhausted, so the warriors of Azeroth waited in a makeshift camp while Lady Aegwynn calmed the energy conflict within the Scepter of Sargeras.

Once its teleportation core has cooled down, they will be able to return to their homeland using the staff they have regained.

However, before leaving with the Twin Walkers, the Phase Thief Agil still sent a message to the Saviors.

"The group of ethereal thieves gathered by Xalatas has indeed been recruited by the 'Thousand-Bearded Demon'."

Aegwynn said to the dragon kings and the two human mages:
"Agil, the leader of the Shadow Thieves, told me that he had just received orders from N'Zoth before being swayed by Rafaam to participate in this operation. Taking advantage of the disturbance caused by the opening of the Dragon Isles, the Thousand-Bearded Demon secretly dispatched all the Void Thieves to the continent of Northrend, with their aim being the Titan city of Ulduar."

It suspects that N'Zoth is trying to win over Yogg-Saron, the Thousand-Throat Demon.

That guy has corrupted all the guardians of Titan City. Without the intervention of forces like the Vigilant, it will be very difficult for the Saviors to take Ulduar on their own.

Furthermore, N'Zoth explicitly told the ethereal bandits that Yogg-Saron possessed the 'World-Destroying Mechanism,' a power that the Thousand-Bearded Demons desired.

“I know that! The Vigilant clearly stated before that the Titan Beacon that activates the Origin Forge and formats the entire world is hidden in Ulduar.”

Irelia raised her hand and said:

"I remember clearly, he said the beacon's launch location was at the observatory in Titan City. But we've already shut down so many nodes of the Unified Field of Everything, will the Origin Forge still be activated?"

“The nodes of the Unified Field of All Things are not directly related to the activation of the Origin Furnace. That is a world-ending restart device, and it must have used a separate ‘encrypted route’.”

Archbishop Nelly, with a serious expression, shook her head and said:

"Therefore, we must take Titan City before N'Zoth's ethereal thieves get their hands on that beacon!"
Previously, it took time to find the hiding place of the Titan of Life, so the closing process of the Unified Field of All Things could be carried out in an orderly manner. But now that Rafaam can provide accurate coordinates, it is only a matter of time before Grand Archon Hatton brings back Lady Ionar's soul.

We must shut down the Unified Field of All Things before the Titan Soul is brought back, and then wait for the Titan of Life to dismantle it by its own hands.

However, Lothar is also preparing to attack Kul Tiras.

That place is now N'Zoth's 'earthly demon kingdom,' and it also needs the assistance of the saviors. The Lightforged Chapter can only choose one to join.

"We can help!"

The Red Dragon Queen knelt on the camp blanket, and she expressed herself very seriously and clearly:

"Tyr forbade us from getting involved in the events of Ulduar, so Neltharion created the towering mountains of Storm Peaks to completely isolate that region from the outside world."

We had no reason to get involved in the Guardians' internal strife, but now that the safety of Mother World is at stake, the dragons have an inescapable duty!
The Saviors and Lightforged can go and assist Anduin Lothar.

We launched simultaneous attacks on the two ancient gods from both the north and south, which also severed their secret communication and prevented them from devising any more troublesome underhanded strategies.

However, we'll need to reforge Tyr when we get back to Azeroth.

This is our final act in support of that past friendship.

"If Tyr is truly a righteous guardian who is willing to sacrifice himself between 'duty' and 'justice,' then his reforging will not do any harm to Ulduar's offensive."

The Weaver noticed the change in Aegwynn's expression and advised:

"Now there are four guardians in the Chamber of Heart: Azadas, Elonaya, Raiden, and Thorim. If we add Tyr, we can even have the high-end power to suppress the Fallen Guardians."

In the most ideal scenario, an attack on Ulduar wouldn't even require the involvement of mortals.

"Hmm, that does sound perfect."

Aegwynn nodded and said:
"Then I will report this plan to Mother Star Soul after we return. If Mother World has no objection, then we can launch a war of annihilation against the remaining two ancient gods on two battlefields at the same time."

"There are three!"

The silent Ilyudicon suddenly spoke:

"Azeroth still has three Old Gods! The last one is a monstrosity created by the Titans."

"Yes, the Plague Demon G'huun and its Titan prison, Uldir."

Aegwynn glanced at the Stonescale Dragon with surprise.

She seemed curious about how Ilyudicon knew of the existence of Odil and Ghokhon.

During the era when the dragons were active, all the history of the Old Gods was destroyed by the Titan Guardians, who sealed them away for over 20,000 years. They only recently returned to the world and are unlikely to know about secret places like Uldir.

You can tell from the puzzled expressions on the faces of the five Dragon Kings that even they, who were once part of the Titan Guardians, had never heard of the names "G'huun" and Uldir.

But Ilydikon had no intention of explaining its source; it simply stared at Aegwynn until the Star Soul Guardian told it:

"Uldir is not a problem we need to worry about. Lady Anveena, the Blade Queen of the Swarm, daughter of the World Mother, will handle that threat. In fact, while we were fighting Kalecgos, Lady Anveena's Swarm had already cleared out the G'huun worshippers in the Blood Swamp of Nazmir."

Once we return to Azeroth, the Vigilant may personally go to Uldir to take command.

Gorhun's certain 'advantageous genes' are outstanding samples that both the Shadow Chaser and Savior swarms greatly need.

"Well, that's it."

Ilyudicon nodded and said:
“Then, I request to join them! Philek is going to the Firelands to control the fire of Sulfuras, Lysages is waiting to go to the Skywall to punish Al'Akir, the wind god who disrespected Mother World, and Velanos will be enough to assist her.”

I have absolutely no interest in leadership of Deeprock Continent; I simply want to make my small contribution to my world in my own way.

After saying that, it glanced at the Five Dragon Kings with a gloomy expression and said:

"Of course, I will arrive promptly when the battlefield of Ulduar requires me."

"If you'd like, you can go and offer assistance."

Aegwynn didn't seem to mind Ilydikon's unsociable behavior. Diakum had previously told her about the stone-scaled dragon's "psychological problems," and Aegwynn thought it would be better to hand it over to the Vigilant for some proper "training."

But she still reminded her:
"The World Mother hopes to elevate more incarnations of dragons like you from the original colony of proto-dragons, so as to better harmonize the elemental forces of the world."

These secondary avatar dragons will be regarded as messengers of the world's elemental power. They will also become the eyes of the Supreme Star Soul, patrolling the world for her and helping Mother World communicate better with mortal civilizations.

Therefore, the four of you will be busy from now on.

According to my estimation, at least sixty lesser avatar dragons would need to be promoted to meet the World Mother's daily needs for manipulating elemental power.

This request silenced the dragon avatars. After several seconds, Velanoz touched her icy shoulder armor and sighed, saying:

"It was a very painful process. I still can't forget the embarrassment and despair of almost being frozen to death by the power of the glacier. The proto-dragons of today are far less powerful than we were back then. I think it would be very difficult for them to survive such an advancement process."

"Back then, you weren't elemental lords yet."

Aegwynn said:

"But now that the World Mother is helping, safety will be greatly enhanced and suffering will be reduced. These secondary incarnation dragons will become the Savior's subordinate fighting force."

Their appearance can also effectively help the now-declining proto-dragons restore their civilization to its former glory. Hmm, the Sargeras Scepter has cooled down.

The Star Soul Spokesperson felt the scepter in her hand become docile again. She rose to prepare for a massive teleportation to send everyone back to Azeroth, but then Aegwynn remembered another thing that the Phase Thief Agil had told her earlier.

She reminded the crowd before her:
"The treasures gifted by the other Void Thieves can be kept by everyone personally, as a reward offered by the Void Thieves for this rescue, and there is no need to pay tribute to Mother World."

But we all took artifacts from Rafaam's vault, and the Supreme Thief King is a petty thief. His companions warned us to keep a close eye on those artifacts, as Rafaam wouldn't allow us to possess them for long. He would definitely find a way to steal back the artifacts that belonged to him.”

"Hey! Where's my Meteor Axe? That damn bandaged dog! Don't let me catch it again."

Before he could finish speaking, Philek roared.

The divine battle axe that Lord "Brainless" obtained from Rafaam's vault, capable of unleashing primordial flames that could erupt from the universe, has mysteriously disappeared, prompting everyone else to check their own belongings as well.

The good news is that so far only "brainless" Philec's artifact has been stolen.

The bad news is that everyone now carries a "theft notice" from the Supreme Thief King, indicating that Rafaam's "ill-fated relationship" with the people of Azeroth is far from over.

"Uh."

The Spellweaver looked at the magical pointer belonging to Norgannon in its hand with a pained expression, and said helplessly to Ysera beside it:

"It seems we'll need to upgrade the security measures in our respective dragon nests when we get back."

"No need."

Isera, on the other hand, took it all in stride.

As she toyed with the dream scepter that Rafaam had stolen from some unknown world, she said nonchalantly:
"If it wants to take it, just give it to it. The Supreme Thief King has already proven with his actions that he is not to be trifled with. Why are you, a dignified Weaver of Law, getting angry with a lunatic?"

"nonsense!"

Malygos rolled his eyes, carefully placed the magic pointer in his pocket, and said:
"This is a weapon used by the Titan gods. It's hard to find one of the same specifications anywhere in Azeroth. You know, I've always wanted to collect the Pillars of Creation, but it's impossible to get my hands on them, isn't it?"

Now that I've finally fulfilled my desire to collect it, how could I possibly give it back so easily?

Moreover!
This is a treasure we obtained through our own skill, so why should we return it?

Rafaam himself said he was willing to offer up his treasury in exchange for Kalecgos's safety. We did the work, so we definitely deserve some reward.

"Well, your moral standards seem to have dropped rather quickly after abandoning the doctrines of the Titans, Malygos."

"Ha, I've toiled my whole life for the order of Titan. Now that I've returned to Mother World's embrace, can't I enjoy myself?"

The two dragon kings' hushed discussion left the surrounding lightforged staring at each other in bewilderment.

They suddenly realized that these dragons were actually quite interesting.

They are not without base desires; they simply live as a kind of "symbol" that must be selfless and upright, bound by the Titan Laws.

Now, they are free, and their desires have been revived along with them.

Deep within this temporary camp, in a purified cavern, Diakum looked helplessly at the crystal shards still falling off beside him.

Those were all external things discarded during the process of "self-shaping". Although some could be given to Kael'thas for research on "Sun God Magic", Kael'thas couldn't use that many.

I can't possibly carry around these exaggerated "solar rings" everywhere I go, can I?

This is too high-profile and exaggerated; it clearly doesn't suit his personality.

"You're too hot, sir."

Archbishop Auresses stood ten paces away and sighed, saying:
"When will they finally be able to control the heat and light? As it is now, we'll be burned to death if we dare to get close."

"That day will come eventually, don't rush it."

Dick tossed himself up and down, emitting a satisfied, whimpering sound from his dark heart, and said:

“You are immortal.”

"Hmph, although that savage woman Neli has kept quiet about it, we do know the rules of lesser gods."

Aurecis whispered:
"After you complete your rebirth as the sun god, you will enter the highest heaven, and we will only be able to meet in every prayer."

No, I am still there.

Diakum radiated light, like fingers gently stroking Aurecis's long hair, and he said softly:

“In every glance you make, in every dream you have, in every word you utter, I am there; I have never left.”

"So, the inheritance of the Sun God has also taught you to say these cheesy love words? How come I didn't know that the true god of the universe would teach these things? Hmm, if I had known you would become so gentle, perhaps I should have let you find the inheritance of the Sun God sooner."

The archbishop covered his mouth and chuckled a few times; clearly, no one can resist sweet talk.

However, amidst the spatial tremors caused by Sargeras's scepter being raised, Aurethes asked curiously:
"My sister just told me that you left some 'things' in the Karesh star system?"

"Yes, that's a gift."

Dick smiled and said:

"I'm giving this to a specific 'guest,' and I hope it won't feel awkward or angry. Fortunately, I don't have to care about its feelings."

------

Both stars in the Karesh star system have perished, and the star system itself was dragged into the Sea of ​​No Light long ago. Therefore, after the Voidlings took their homeland and towed it away in their starships, only large and small scorched ruins remained in this star system that was very close to the Sea of ​​No Light.

There is nothing here except destruction.

At some point, black "waves" rose in the ether of this land of darkness, like a phase collapse, creating a cold, impulsive tunnel.

A colossal creature "squeezed" out from within.

It possesses the classic "blue fat cat" appearance of the Ethereal Walker, but its body is covered by an exquisitely crafted, dark, and majestic Devourer armor. Countless rays of light from fallen stars adorn its body, representing every world it has devoured.

Judging from the dense distribution of these light spots, its "menu" truly has an exaggerated number of items.

Dimensius, the Devourer of All Realms, arrived as quickly as possible, but he was still a step too late.

This is unavoidable. For Dimensius, the entire material star sea is its dining table. Although it has long passed the level where it needs to devour matter and energy to increase its power, it has become a habit of the devourer to eat some good things along the way while wandering.

It did not come here in person.

Meanwhile, Dimensius was still continuing its "feast" on the other side of the stars, and what was sent into the Karesh star system were only some fragments, a shadow, and some of the faintest echoes.

As a master of the Devourer path, its use of these powers was something that Diakum, a newcomer, could never hope to match.

The devourer does not only devour, it also creates.

Of course, in most cases, it doesn't need to use such power.

In this desolate, ruined star field, the Devourer fragment of Dimensius wailed. The void gate it had created had long since collapsed, and the essence of power it had left behind had been cruelly devoured.

However, it soon discovered the last wisp of energy left behind by the malicious intruder.

The fragment of Dimensius raised its claws, unleashing a chilling storm of plunder, seizing the energy gathered on the rock fragments and feeding it into its gluttonous maw.

It needs to decipher the information left by the other party.

But as soon as the energy entered its body, an unstoppable burst of light erupted within it, illuminating the aggregate of this powerful fragments from the inside.

This fragment of the Devourer of All Realms was like a "light bulb" that had suddenly been turned on.

This sudden turn of events caused the Devourer of All Realms to roar. It could devour this strange power with its invincible appetite, but it couldn't.

It was as if a sun had been ignited within the stomach of a devourer, causing this fragment of divinity to be incinerated from within by golden holy flames moments later.

In addition to its sacredness, the holy flame also carried several terrifying "greedy" elements.

It continuously burned the divine fragments of Dimensius, even "devouring" them in reverse, "sacrificing" all the energy contained within these divine fragments to a destination that even Dimensius sensed was dangerous.

A portion of the Devourers of All Realms was transformed into burning firewood, contributing heat to the great undertaking of igniting the sun.

This is both a provocation and a way of "saying hello".

Dimensius will eventually meet Diakum; the Devourers of Worlds are always drawn to each other.

This starry sea is vast, yet it is also small. It can support the prosperity of all things growing, but it cannot satisfy the enormous appetite of a devourer. Only one glutton can indulge in this restaurant of the galaxy.

This is the message Diakum left for Dimensius:

Old Deng! We can't write two "Di" characters in the same stroke, so let's be frank!
You've eaten too much and don't know how to control yourself; it's time for you to step down and make way for someone more capable!
