Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 579, Section 40: Gorhun, whose property was about to be seized, faced a time-limited eviction order.
The Titan facility, Uldir, is a hidden place that had been undetectable for a long time using any conventional reconnaissance methods.

This place is extremely secretive within the Titan Guardian system, so much so that even Tyr and Thorim are unaware of its existence. Ra-den and Odin, the two leaders of the Guardians, may know about it, but they most likely do not have permission to enter.

The reason for such outrageous secrecy is twofold: firstly, Uldir was established under the direct orders of the Pantheon, and it is a completely different system from Ulduar, where the other Titan Guardians reside.

Secondly, the research here is so outrageous that even Titans find it "troublesome."

"I can understand that in order to contain the star-sea threat of the Old Gods, the Titans must establish a laboratory on Azeroth to study their characteristics and find their weaknesses."

After all, there is no other world in the entire star system that has been 'planted' with four Old Gods like Azeroth. Even from a theoretical research perspective, it is necessary to build a laboratory here.

But I can't understand why the Titans' 'weakness finding' ultimately evolved into directly creating 'living samples of the Old Gods'?

Anvina, who had rushed back from Aiki Kahet, hovered in front of the "Golden Castle" in Uldir. Looking at the Titan facility that had been completely dug out from beneath the Nazmir swamp by the insect swarm, she said with a sense of helplessness:

"No matter how you look at it, directly creating Old Gods using the knowledge of the Void can be considered 'playing with fire,' right? Even I understand this simple principle, so how could the Titans, who are the true gods of arcane magic and govern all truths, not understand it?"

"They understand, they just don't care!"

When the topic of "Titan Evil" was brought up, Ilydekon, the Titan Enemy of Azeroth, immediately became interested.

The Stone-Scaled Dragon stood beside Anvina, pointing its broken claws, forged from earth and stone, at Uldir before it, and spoke to the Daughter of the World in a resentful tone:

"In the eyes of the Titans, the Old Gods are nothing more than insects that can be crushed at will. Would you deliberately avoid an insect when you walk? They don't care at all what kind of disaster the Old Gods they created would bring to the world if they went out of control!"
After all, in their eyes, the creatures of Azeroth were 'unplanned freaks,' not worth their attention at all.

"How arrogant! How cruel!"

Anvina was "naturally" provoked.

She cooperated perfectly and cursed back:
"Those arrogant true gods should really be locked up and fed an Old God every day to taste their saltiness. What a bunch of bastards. It's one thing for them to die at Sargeras's hands, but the things they left behind are still causing harm to all living beings."

"Yes, yes, the Titans are utterly wicked!"

The stone-scaled dragon rubbed its hands together and said loudly:
"They must pay for their crimes in blood."

The two of them went back and forth, making the atmosphere quite heated for a moment, but Diakum had already passed the stage of denouncing the Titans for being inhuman.

He had seen enough of the Pantheon's various inhumane acts and was too lazy to comment on them anymore.

At this moment, the watcher stood on the rock wall above the swarm's main hive, looking down at the burrowing general who was being escorted and pushed into the main hive's hatching chamber by a large number of worker bees.

The luxurious patterns adorning the ancient armor and the decorations signifying nobility revealed that Anvina had indeed captured the Legacy General of Aiki Kacht.

"I'm curious how you did it?"

After Anvina finished cursing the Titans and vented her anger, Diakum asked in surprise:

"This Inherited Military General is the commander-in-chief of the Spider Demon Kingdom. The entire army of the Thousand Silk City and the whole of Aiki Kahet is under its control. Even Queen Nefertory respects it."

"You devised a decapitation strike tactic?"

"Well, it's not that exaggerated. I just divided their relationship as ruler and subject."

The Sunwell Ghost said smugly:
"Marshal Lothar taught me that if I want to take something of vital importance from someone, it's best to make them lose interest in it beforehand."

So I infiltrated Queen Nefertari's court under the guise of 'Eclipse Herald' and presented her with the secret method of 'Eclipse Ascension'.

Relying on the genetic masters' shaping and evolution of the Qiraji's superior genes, Alpha Abathur and I successfully created a more powerful insectoid form for the spider demons.

Most importantly, these ascended insectoids are all Queen Nephilace's confidants, and their absolute loyalty to the Queen is more appreciated by her than that of the inherited military generals who believe in 'checks and balances'.

What's even more interesting is that the Queen's favorite courtier, the Royal Spinner 'Widow' Arachne, also has a conflict with the Legacy Army's Grand General, who is an intelligence officer but has an abnormal desire for her Queen.

Well, those spider demons are pretty fancy with their tricks.

In short, in order to monopolize the Queen's 'favor', the royal spinners accepted my suggestion, and we joined forces to launch a 'court intrigue'.

Anubazar was the only victim of that conspiracy.

Ah, in order to subdue this dangerous Supreme General, I had no choice but to summon the Storm Lord, but thankfully everything went smoothly.

"very good."

Diakum looked at Anvina, who had once been too lazy to think, with a sense of satisfaction as she transformed into a master strategist. He asked:

"So, how long will it take you and your swarm to devour Aigi Kahet's spider demons?"

"If really needed, it can be completed in a month! Without the inheritance of the military general, the spider demons' defensive strength will be greatly reduced. Most importantly, those Eclipse Ascended who obey the Queen are all members of the Savior Swarm."

But I suddenly changed my mind.

Anvina clearly had her own plans, she said to Diakum:

"I originally planned to recruit Queen Nephilace to become the Blade Queen of the Shadowchaser swarm so I could experience the thrill of being the 'Overlord,' but then I discovered that the Crown Princess Ansurek of the Thousand Silk City was actually more suitable to be the War Queen of my swarm."

Alpha Abathur also thinks so.

Queen Nephilace's 'homosexual' tendencies led the Gene Master to believe that her genes had a significant defect that could jeopardize the future development of the Savior Swarm, and it did not want to leave any hidden dangers.

Ansurek is still young, and his values ​​are not yet fully formed. He is more suitable to be personally taught by Abathur to become the kind of war commander that Mother World needs.

Therefore, in order to create the 'perfect Queen of Blades', I have decided not to destroy Aigi Kahete for the time being.

Let it gradually weaken amidst internal chaos.

Those crucial resources and advantageous genes will be gradually seized by us amidst this internal strife; well, a delicious dish should be savored slowly.

Anvina delivered a chilling assessment in the tone of a "charming villain."

The vigilant glanced at the guy in surprise, realizing that he seemed to have taught Anvina too successfully, allowing the dark side of the guy's heart to be exposed without any concealment.

But that's not a bad thing either.

As the daughter of the Supreme Star Soul and the war commander of the Zerg Swarm, if Anveena were still the same naive and innocent character in the canon who falls in love with a blue dragon and is willing to sacrifice herself to save the Sunwell, then it would prove that her teaching skills, despite having "many years of teaching experience," are truly awful.

"The creation of the Overlord has a mature process. The Swarm has stockpiled enough resources and nutrients. In a few hours at most, Anubazar, the first Overlord of the Savior Swarm, will become our vanguard in war."

Anvina pointed to the towering Titan City behind her and said loudly:

"This godforsaken place is causing fear and unease among the locals. As righteous envoys of Mother World, we must eradicate this damned threat today."

“No, Anubazar has another mission.”

Dick waved his hand and said:
“G'huun has its own Void minions. Even though it is just an artificial Old God created by the Titans, it also has connections with other Old Gods. It has learned many dark techniques from its malevolent brothers.”

If you know the history of Zandalar, you should know that a dangerous Krahis warrior is also buried beneath the Voldon Desert.

Lady Setaris, the Loa goddess of the Serpent People, sacrificed herself to defeat Mithrax the Destroyer, but the first seal the Titans placed on Uldir, the Disc of Atuaman, was destroyed in the process.

Given that Krahith is immortal, that dangerous void monster is currently still slumbering deep within the Vol'dun Desert.

After your king beast hatches, go and take care of it!

As for Odil, Ilyudicon and I will be the vanguard of the Swarm's savior today.

"Oh? You're coming in person?"

Anvina was startled and quickly said:

"Your opponents are now all Void Gods, so what right does G'huun have?"

We'll handle this kind of thing; it's not that we don't trust you.

"The main problem is that if you lose control and turn Uldir into a solar ruin, the Saviors will have no main hive."

"."

Diakum glanced helplessly at Anvina, and said with a sneer:
"While G'huun's power is not as exaggerated as that of other Old Gods, this guy has been given an exaggerated parasitic nature by the Titans' genetic engineering. It's not that I underestimate the Zerg, but if you were to be in charge, it might leave hidden dangers."

What if G'huun parasitizes the swarm? Wouldn't that cause a problem?

In short, my mind is made up.

"Leave a portion of the swarm to guard the hive, the rest prepare; once I open the entrance to Uldir, we'll begin the battle." "Okay."

Anvina guessed that the Vigilant might have some purpose in wanting to enter Odil, but she was no longer the naive girl she once was, and naturally couldn't speak carelessly at this time.

She followed Diakum to the tightly closed entrance of the golden Titan city and said:
"According to the legends of the trolls, to enter Uldir, we must first close the three Titan seals. We tried to force our way in but couldn't open them at all. We could only barely find a way in by following the tunnels dug underground by the blood trolls and getting close to the sewage outlet of Uldir's internal circulation system."

But only a few people are allowed to sneak into that place.

Talanji's strange Haraniel troll friends volunteered to go in and scout, but they haven't come out yet.

I reckon it's most likely a freebie.

"That's not the case! Our companions are still active in this cold Titan Palace, but they are restrained and protected by a benevolent individual."

Before the gates of Odil, the strange trolls that had been hiding in the shadows of Talanji and Rongwei finally stopped pretending.

They emerged from the shadows using techniques similar to "primitive druid" magic, each resembling an Avatar with long arms and legs, and wild yet beautiful faces.

They have mysterious battle markings on their faces and bodies, and their hair is very long and decorated with flowers and plants, giving them a close connection to nature.

These Haraniel trolls still retain their fangs, but they are clearly a special form between trolls and elves. As Talanji previously commented, they retain the strength and regenerative abilities of trolls while also possessing the grace and spellcasting abilities of elves.

Considering that the troll Haraniel, the Golden King, and the Dark Prophet had all met, Dick estimated that the current form was most likely the direction in which the Zandalari trolls were evolving.

By manipulating the release frequency of the Azerite Dust Tower, Zandalari trolls can "customize" their appearance; now that they have perfect templates, their evolution will naturally accelerate.

The leading "Guardian Troll" wore a battle robe woven from red plants and used green crystallized fist blades as weapons. She looked at Diakum with amazement and awe, and bowed slightly before the Vigilant.

She explained:

"Your noble scorching sun incarnation, my people and I can communicate through telepathy. Hanan told me that not all creatures in Odiel have been corrupted by Ghohun."

A Titan guardian who calls herself the 'Pure Mother' remains conscious. She has set up a 'purification zone' in Uldir and is trying to restart the Titan equipment to resolve the contamination spread by G'huun. However, Hanan also makes it clear that he believes the stubborn Pure Mother has actually run out of ideas.

The situation here requires external intervention, and we are willing to temporarily follow you to purify this horrific sin.

"very good."

Dick observed these strange creatures, which were both trolls and elves, with curiosity, and asked:

"So, what is the closest route to the purification zone established by the Holy Mother of Purity?"

That area!

The leader of the Haraniel trolls pinpointed a location precisely, saying:
"They're basically separated by only a wall, but this Titan city uses a very complex structure, unlike our homeland... cough cough, I mean, it's different!"

Because it serves as a research lab for the Titans' dangerous creatures, its protection level is far more extreme than that of ordinary Titan facilities.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is 'Ovina,' and I'm the leader of the Haraniel Expedition."

"Hello, Ovina, thank you for pointing out the directions, it saved us a lot of time."

Following the troll elf's instructions, the vigilant approached the golden city wall, raised his hand to gather the sunlight, and made the golden orb of light rotate around his wrist before being pressed into the sturdy structure in front of him.

Within a short time, the walls forged by the Titans began to melt visibly.

This scene terrified the Halaniel trolls.

They were clearly familiar with the materials of the Titan City, and naturally knew how terrifying the energy Diakum was displaying at this moment. In just a moment, a large hole was melted in the walls of Uldir.

This external invasion caused the warning sounds within the Titan City to echo shrilly, immediately activating certain defensive systems. As Diakum stepped inside, he saw a golden Titan giant wielding a giant hammer charging towards him.

However, the energy circles on its body that should have shone with orderly blue light were now filled with an ominous red light, which, in the Titan system, meant that this giant had been "contaminated".

It is mentally confused.

Diakum didn't even need to use his senses to detect the dangerous "parasites" lurking within this creature. While other Old Gods used "psychic tactics" to turn their Guardians against them, this freak, G'huun, directly corrupted it using physical means.

Damn monster, how could even the Titan's defenses not stop its deadly spores?

"Get out!"

The stone-scaled dragon roared and charged in first.

It leaped over Diakum, completing a magnificent transformation, and pounced upon the massive Titan Guardian in its powerful dragon form, engaging in fierce combat.

Ilydekon loathed the Titan city that had destroyed the most powerful leader of the Proto-Dragon, and he also loathed the Titans' lackeys. As a result, the power he unleashed in the battle was beyond imagination.

The massive tail, imbued with the power of the earth, swept across, repelling the Titan, and then used its claws, carrying obsidian spikes, to pounce and dismantle its sturdy protective armor.

The battle between the behemoths and giants threw the entire region into chaos, but the fearless swarm of insects then filed in under Anvina's command.

Dark, corrosive tentacles grew in the passageway, which was covered in black erosion. G'huun's parasites manipulated all sorts of sneaky and disgusting hosts to block the way, seemingly trying to resist the invasion of the swarm.

But to the swarm of insects, these things are nothing more than flesh and blood, food.

But that was exactly what Ghokhune wanted.

The cunning parasite craves the swarm to carry its parasites out of Uldir, using the swarm's activity to spread them throughout the world. With its parasitic and corrosive power, it only takes an extremely short time to spread a deadly blood plague across Azeroth.

It certainly doesn't possess the ancient and insane power of other Old Gods; it even struggles to create illusions, control illusory sounds, or tear apart the mind.

It doesn't have that kind of means.

It is so simple that it doesn't even resemble a fancy ancient god.

However, the Titans' genetic purification program, undertaken to find the weaknesses of the Old Gods, also endowed G'huun with its own power. It can parasitize, seize the body and will of its host, and turn all things into its puppets.

That's all it can do!
Spores, blood, tentacles, even the smoke from burning corpses—all known and unknown methods can be used as a medium for parasitic infection.

Because that's all it knows, Gauthün has taken the path of parasitism to its true extreme.

Titans didn't give it a great hand, but Gauthün can win this game with his skill!

Yes, these swarms of insects become the perfect parasitic medium for themselves.
"Aren't you being too optimistic, sir? Do you know what the best 'insecticide' in the world is?"

Diakum tilted his head back and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying:
"Let me tell you it's the sunshine!"

The vigilant ascended from the spot, slightly loosening his will to suppress the energy, allowing the sun god's radiance to erupt in the dark passageway in that instant.

The golden sun burned away all the parasitic spores that Gauthorn had carefully scattered, and Anvina and Talanji smelled the "smell of mites" that had been killed by the sun in the heat and light.

Well, many uncultured people would call this "the smell of the sun".

Wow, sleeping under a "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" blanket that's teeming with countless mite corpses is a really creepy thing, but after hearing it like this, it suddenly seems kind of refreshing.

Therefore, let's consider it a blessing from the sun.

"Haha, are you stupid now!"

The Sunwell Ghost floated in the blazing sunlight, and she cried out:
“I have no intention of letting the bugs that stormed into Uldir today get out again, G'huun. The Titans have built a great nest for you, so this place belongs to the Swarm. I'm giving you the time to move out as quickly as possible, or you'll face the consequences.”

Gauthorn began to curse wildly.

You've taken a fancy to this Titan's Cage?
Good thing!
Come on, let me out. You can stay here as long as you want. The question is, can you first get that big golden guy blocking the door and "disinfecting" him out of the way?

I need to find a new place before I can move.

Unfortunately, Ghohunn can forget about going anywhere.

The genetic masters, swaying their bloated bodies, stepped into the land of Titans under the blazing sun.

They hold green vesicles in their claws, specially designed to store samples of superior genes, much like professional funeral directors carrying urns of ashes into a funeral.

These little boxes will be Gauthün's eternal home.

Ps:

Haranir, the troll or elf, is as follows:
