Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 583, Section 44: Odin-san, no new era has a ship that can carry the old guard!

The swarms of insects took root in Odier.

This place was originally used by the Titans to study the weaknesses of the Void. Several experimental areas have facilities that can maintain a high concentration of Void energy, which allows the Zerg swarm to reproduce in an orderly manner under "very suitable" conditions.

Of course, Azeroth was not in a large-scale war environment at this time, which made it impossible for the Saviors Swarm to start high-speed reproduction centered on Uldir. Although there were still Aqir Kacht, the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, and the ancient kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj in the north that could serve as excellent "sowing grounds" for the insects, Anveena's army was obviously somewhat small compared to the real "swarm".

But she didn't really care.

Faced with Diakum's probing and questioning, the Sunwell Ghost, who was preparing to return to the City of Silk and continue playing her "court intrigue game" with Queen Nefertari, confidently said:
"I never intended for the Savior Swarm to enter the terrifying 'mass production' mode of the Shadow Chaser; that's a wartime tactic."

I positioned the Savior Swarm perfectly.

When Mother World does not issue a war order, the Zerg swarm must reproduce in a more "scientific" way while in a "low-activity" state.

Odier is their main nest, while the others are branch colonies. Their purpose is not war or destruction, but simply to provide the gene masters with the superior gene samples they need.

The most important task for the main hive going forward is to advance the 'Supreme Evolution'!
What I mean is that the genetic experts must complete the genetic deciphering of Ghokhon's 'infected heart' as quickly and efficiently as possible. I asked Alpha Abathur, and the most optimistic research time they gave was in 'years'.

It exaggeratedly stated that G'huun is practically a walking gene pool of superiority, which will be the second major opportunity for the Zerg after the awakening of the Zerg will.

Whether or not one can master this 'parasitic power' originating from the Titans will directly determine the outcome of the 'Eternal Great Cycle'.

At this point, Anvina glanced at the rather pleased vigilant observer and said loudly:

"Therefore, I want to ask the Shadow Chaser Swarm to cooperate with the Savior Swarm. Powerful genes like G'huun cannot be completely cracked by the Gene Masters alone."

Therefore, Stormlord, acting as an intermediary, would carry the Savior Swarm through its 'physical body' into the Twisting Nether Swarm after the Savior Swarm had deciphered several advantageous genes, handing them over to the Shadow Chaser Swarm for 'war selection'.

The swarm only retains the most powerful and perfect gene fragments, abandoning the rest.

Alpha Abathur told me that if this perfect cycle of research and practice could be established, the time required to acquire Ghokhune's power would be greatly shortened.

Of course, all of this requires your permission.

"Your strategic vision puts me to shame, my outstanding student, Anvina."

Diakum nodded and said:
"How could I possibly refuse such a brilliant strategy?"
I would certainly agree to this perfect cooperation model, but it will probably take some time for your Swarm Masters to make contact with the Shadow Chaser Swarm, which is currently fighting against demons in the Twisting Nether.

It's no exaggeration to say that I can't even properly contact the Overlord and the Queen of Blades, Shakshiel, right now.

It's not that I can't contact them, but rather that after acquiring the divinity of the Sun God, I can no longer freely intervene in other realms of the Force. You know, when you throw a stone into water, no matter how gently you do it, ripples will still appear on the surface.

"That's a very vivid metaphor. I think I understand it now."

Anvina nodded and said:

"So, we need the cooperation of the Illidari, and if necessary, we'll need to use the Scepter of Sargeras, right?"

"Yes, that's true, but I believe coordinating such an operation shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Dick waved his hand and said:
"Seeing your growth so perfect, I can finally entrust everything to you with peace of mind. Considering that you also have outstanding warriors and commanders from all over the world as 'military advisors,' I believe that even if some crisis situations arise in the future, you will be able to handle them well."

"What you're saying is as unlucky as leaving a will."

Anvina complained:

"No wonder Irelia is always worried about your safety in the coming period of time. Don't always speak in such a terrifying tone. Of course, I will do my best."

However, there is one more thing I need to ask you about.

A few days ago, His Majesty Margok conveyed a request to me through the Shadow Hunters.

Its studies at Nassaras Magic Academy are coming to an end. It has submitted its graduation project to Dean Blue Moon and completed its proposal. It says that it can finish the project, which is super complicated just by its name, in a maximum of six months.

After that, it will return to Northrend to fulfill its duties.

But it wanted to take something with it.

Anvina hesitated for a moment, then said:
"It wants an egg of a Queen Beetle!"
It wanted to bring a branch of the Swarm to Draenor as well, and this was not just a request from High Overlord Margok. The forest elders had sensed the hidden 'Blessing of Life' within the Swarm, and they believed that the Swarm was also an embodiment of 'wild nature,' sharing the same origin as their beliefs.

so.
I dare not make such a momentous decision on my own; it must be decided by you, the 'God of the Swarm.'

Diakum stroked his chin, pondering the question.

He could actually understand why Margok and the forest elves wanted a swarm of their own; it was the insecurity caused by the threat from the Burning Legion.

Draenor has become the main base of the "Reclaimers of Argus" because the Eredar have raised the banner of "Reclaiming the Homeland".

Apart from the Draenei and Arcane Scholar clans, all seven invited Eredar clans have already made their way to Draenor; this mass migration could not be kept secret from the Legion demons.

That's too eye-catching!

If Draenor were a large world like Azeroth, it wouldn't matter; with the ability to protect itself, the Alliance of K'ure wouldn't fear the challenge of demons. But the problem is that Draenor is just a small world.

Once the Burning Legion launches an invasion on the scale of Mount Hyjal, Draenor will be doomed, even with the aid of Lord Argus's "Lost Knight".

The main problem is that the world is too small; it's difficult to even contain the aftershocks of a battle between lesser gods.

In this situation, having a swarm of insects that can "slay gods" at crucial moments as a trump card would give the natives of Draenor a lot of peace of mind. Moreover, Dick guessed that although the Mag'har orcs did not make a formal request, High Overlord Margok must have consulted the orcs before making the request.

Draenor was originally one continent, oh, now it's two.

However, the area is still very small. The only places where the swarm can grow are either the island of Franron or the new continent that has just emerged from the seabed, both of which have the involvement of orc forces.

"You can give them one."

After thinking for a moment, Dick nodded and said:
"As the Shadow Chaser swarm makes more and more noise in the Twisted Void, the spread of the swarm in the Sea of ​​Matter is an inevitable trend. If this trend cannot be stopped, it is best to keep its expansion under our control."

The Shadow Chaser is too aggressive and unsuitable for Draenor. After the Saviors are able to breed Overlords, prepare an egg for them.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, let's do it your way."

Anvina grinned.

It felt great to have a boss who was willing to take responsibility, but before leaving, she added a reminder:
"Your mention of my 'sparring partners' around the world just now suddenly reminded me of something quite important. Do you remember that 'Vrykul She-Wolf' who fought alongside us in the Battle of Mount Hyjal and also went to pay homage to Mother World?"

"Heya?"

Dick, who was checking the fusion status of his divine body, raised his eyebrows and said:
"What's up with her?"

"She has passed the 'Trial of the God-King' set by Odin for the Vrykul and will soon step into the Sky Fortress Valarjar under the guidance of the Golden Valkyrie, and receive the 'Shield of Aggramar', the pillar of creation, from Odin."

Anvina said with great enthusiasm:
"I was playing duo queue with her a few nights ago... cough cough, during a war simulation, and she told me about this. She used the power of the World Mother in those three trials that were also very dangerous for the Vrykul."

She feared that Odin would consider this 'cheating,' thus damaging the honor she valued.

Most importantly, she had already learned in advance from Lady El, the leader of the golden Valkyries who protected Skod Ashir, about her mission after the God King's Trial.

Odin wanted her to lead the Stormforged spirits of Valarjar in a raid on the abyss of Hela, the goddess of death, supposedly to challenge and defeat her, thus ending the long-standing seal on the god-king.

"It's practically sending Heya to her death!"

Dick frowned and said:
"Even if Hela's combat power is weak, she is still a 'genuine Grim Reaper' certified by the Force of Death. She is one of the beings in the material world of Azeroth who is closest to a lesser god."

Especially after Hela's likely involvement in the Eternals of Death's plan, acquiring the higher-level concept of the Force of Death wouldn't be difficult for her. Even if Heya had completed the Stormforged Ritual and become a true Titan creation, let alone become a Valkyrie, she would still be no match for Hela, nor for the Nine Valkyries under Hela's command.
hiss."

The vigilant suddenly stopped talking.

He touched his cheek with a strange expression, and after a moment's thought, said to Anvina:
"Please tell your best friend who plays games with you to join Odin's war, but don't try to defeat Hela, you can't do it! If Heya can capture Hela's 'Nine Warriors' for the High Heavens, I will definitely reserve a place for her on the battlefield of the 'War of Heaven' when we go to 'rescue' the Titans in the future."

Of course, this means that Heya will have to make a difficult choice between Odin and the World Mother.

I believe the child will make the right choice, and although I cannot use the Shield of Aggramar, Lord Argus can use it as a suitable weapon.

Well, thinking about it that way, the Pillars of Creation left by the Titans in Azeroth could be used to give Lord Argus a 'six-god set'.

This couldn't be more perfect.

-------

Heya was unaware that she had already been completely manipulated by the "Golden Sun".

But this valiant Vrykul warrior was probably in no mood to think about any of that right now. She and her brave sisters, led by the golden Valkyrie and amidst the cheers of Skod Ashir's battle sisters, had already stepped onto the glorious Rainbow Bridge.

That's the teleportation device of the Golden Sky Fortress.

It could have been teleported instantly, but Odin just liked to play tricks. He deliberately made the "light effect" of mortals stepping onto the Rainbow Bridge extremely exaggerated, turning Heya and her sisters into streaks of light that shot straight into the sky.

This is part of showcasing "the greatness of Odin," and Heya, who is proud to be "Odin's shield maiden," should also feel the excitement of a pilgrimage. However, when she actually arrives at the magnificent golden sky fortress, she finds herself filled with more worry and trepidation.

She will accomplish something today that no Vrykul has ever done, or even dared to imagine.

She wanted to question the war god of the Vrykul.

"Today is your big day, child, you should show more joy."

The enormous and holy Lady El flicked her twin braids beneath her golden blitzkrieg helmet and pointed ahead at Heimdall, the gatekeeper who was blowing the Gazelle Horn to gather the Lightning Forged Heroes.

she says:

"Although I sense some doubts in your heart, I believe you are a courageous child. Go forth and embrace your glory! You will be sung as a legend by all Vrykul."

"Ah."

Heya adjusted the sword and shield she was carrying.

This set of artifacts was an ancient artifact she obtained from Shield Rest Island, off the coast of Stormheim, following the advice and instructions of the saint Diakum. It is said to have originated from the divine power forged by the god Tyr during the Battle of Merdon.

It has a rather powerful name, "Guardian of Truth," and this sword and shield also have their own sacred oath, which cannot be wielded by those who are not righteous enough.

In other words, Heya, wielding a sword and shield, must constantly maintain her "justice."

When her definition of justice conflicts with the definition of "justice" by others, that's when she needs to make a choice.

The path from the entrance to the Golden Keep to the halls of Valhalla was lined with majestic, lightning-forged heroes, all valiant warriors handpicked by Odin from among the finest Vrykul.

He spent tens of thousands of years selecting and using Titan technology to forge the most sacred bodies for these souls who died in the most glorious war, so that each of them could receive the blessings of "war" and "thunder".

How impressive is this army of Thunderforged Heroes hidden in the Sky Fortress?

Any hero randomly selected from here would be a legendary figure, and the commanders are demigod kings celebrated in Vrykul history.

While the Vrykul are not as numerous as humans, their innate physical strength makes them very easy targets for power.

Even if Odin only selects one hundred warriors willing to die for his ideals every hundred years, tens of thousands of years would be enough for him to amass a legendary army of tens of thousands.

Once this group of lightning-forged heroes is released into the material world, it will be enough to defeat any enemy on any battlefield, and even destroy a civilization in a short period of time.

Outside the world, the Guardians' "mythical" era has long ended, but in the world of the Vrykul, the myth has never ended; it has always floated in the eyes of every warrior who has the courage to look up at the heavens.

The silver-white, lightning-forged heroes cheered for Heya's great achievements.

The fierce female warrior before them had completed the "Trials of the God-King" set by Odin, three trials that no mortal could possibly complete, but Heya had done it.

She crushed the Titan warriors, conquered the most terrifying storms, and led her sisters deep into the Maw to confront Hela's wickedness.

The fact that they returned alive proves that the treasures kept in Valhalla have finally found their destined owners.

Heya entered the golden hall where the god of war resided amidst cheers. The most outstanding kings of the Vrykul floated in spirit form beneath Odin's throne, while the golden cyclops with its exaggerated, burning beard sat relaxed and majestic on its throne.

Odin, wearing a helmet with lightning bolt horns, looked at Heya as she entered the hall with an admiring gaze.

His two ravens, Munning and Hugin, landed on either side of Odin's throne, and every war Heya waged was witnessed by Odin through the Raven's Eye.

He knew that the female warrior before him was the most perfect Vrykul.

"The Shield of Aggramar has finally found a new wielder."

Odin waved his hand, and amidst the bursts of blue lightning, the shield that once belonged to a Titan appeared before Heya. It was the ultimate reward of the God-King's Trial, the invincible shield among the stars.

A true marvel.

Odin is really generous, especially when you are considered "one of his own".

"Hold it; you have every right to do so."

Odin said:
"I will grant you the power to control the storm. Do you dare to represent me and Valhalla and venture into the Abyss of Hell once more? This time, your gaze will be fixed on the wicked Hela."

"I will surely defeat that Grim Reaper in your name!"

Heya stepped forward and stroked the Shield of Aggramar, but then, changing the subject, she asked loudly, under Odin's astonished gaze:

"But a truly noble being once asked me to convey a question to you, great Odin: if the true master of this world wishes to be freed from her chains, if the World Mother desires that you make a choice."

"Insanity!"

Odin suddenly stood up.

Just moments ago he was all smiles, but now, enveloped in lightning, he roared:

"You serve a rebellious Star Soul? Her order-building is not yet complete! The young Star Soul cannot comprehend the great responsibilities she bears, yet she has already reached into my territory under the influence of evil."

obviously!
The Creators' concerns are absolutely correct; the Soul of the World has been infected by chaos, and you seem intent on becoming an accomplice in its spread?

"Ugh"

Heya sighed helplessly.

In fact, she already knew the answer before she even asked the question. No, she had already guessed it when the saint Diakum told her.

The gods who live in the past have no intention of bowing to the present era, and Odin does not believe he has done anything wrong.

Unfortunately, Azeroth has its own ideas about this.

Now, Heya must decide whether to uphold her own "justice."
