Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 687, Section 55. It's time for the best women's fight again! But Ms. Bai, isn't it a bit too much for you to just log into my account like that?
The Wild Hunting Gang cleared the path leading to the heart of the forest.

Even the fairies who used to chatter and fly around in the Heart of the Forest Palace temporarily went to the "Starry Night Theater".

Of course, the fairies wouldn't listen obediently, but Lord Helne tricked them by saying that in order to celebrate the Queen's upcoming stroll through the forest, the powerful fairies needed to quickly rehearse a new play, which the Queen would then attend in person.

The lord also said that no one in the entire woodland except the fairies could do this job well, so they were the only ones who could help.

So the silly and cute fairies, who were very happy to be coaxed, immediately believed it. They went to the Park Star Theater with great excitement, ready to show off their skills.

Speaking of "Bo Xing Theater", it is a magical place in many ways.

The fairies established the place and were responsible for its maintenance. They would use some terrible sets and rather unprofessional actors to adapt the wonderful stories of the immortal spirits' encounters in the material world into dramas suitable for "local babies".

Honestly, the quality of Fairy Drama is even worse than BabyBus, and because of the fairies' careless nature, they always cause all sorts of performance accidents.

But fairies are skilled in illusions, so they can always save the day in all sorts of magical ways, and the results are always quite good.

In short, the "appreciation threshold" for fairy drama is a bit high. Only those who can connect with the magical brainwaves of the fairies can appreciate their performing arts. Diakum, a simpleton with holy light, obviously cannot appreciate it.

But that doesn't stop some great lives from enjoying this kind of drama.

For example, the Queen of Winter is actually a seasoned goblin art connoisseur, and Ysera, who came to the Shadowlands in the canon due to a series of bizarre tragedies, also enjoys watching goblin dramas.

It is said that Ysera would bite her tongue when she was engrossed in watching it.
A huge green dragon lay there, biting its tongue, staring intently at the silly and cute fairies performing silly and cute plays on the stage. Doesn't it sound silly and cute?

We don't know why Ysera, who comes from Azeroth, a world with a highly developed "cultural industry," is so fascinated by the fairies' dramas. Is it because the spectacular operas in Karazhan aren't good enough? Or is the entertainment from the Nightshade Circus not exciting enough?

Well, since this is so outrageous, perhaps it can only be attributed to the mutual attraction between life travelers.

Diakum always felt that the "fairy drama" might not be as simple as it seemed. Considering that the Night Fae fairies were the superior creations of the Queen of Winter, it might also be a classic "The Emperor's New Clothes" scam.

Perhaps only true nature seekers can gain mysterious insights from fairy dramas that others cannot.

With these thoughts in mind, Diakum rode his Moonstone reindeer and solemnly stepped onto the trail in the Heart of the Forest.

Holy light sculpted a priest's white robe around his body, moonlight showered Diakum with a star-moon cloak, and with the very religious Sunstrider warhammer, his arrival put immense pressure on the Ardenweald lords guarding the entrance to the Heart of the Forest.

With each step Diakum's jeweled reindeer took forward, the morale of the powerful warriors under the Queen of Winter rose a notch.

Only in this way can they avoid being overwhelmed by the imposing presence of the vigilant.

Lord Helne, who had previously fought the Vigilant, was now in the ranks guarding the Heart of the Forest, but he was quite helpless. This cool-looking Wokai, wearing a black eyepatch, said resignedly:
“He means no harm. The white lady’s moonlight indicates that he is the messenger of the moon goddess. Lord Marasmus has also declared that the queen is willing to receive this messenger. Therefore, it is extremely rude of you to block the way!”

Get out of the way.

Don't let the fight break out here. You can't beat him, and even if we all go together, we can't win.

This is completely meaningless.

"This isn't the first or second time that Malusmus has falsely conveyed the Queen's will. That old mushroom-headed guy is the worst! He takes advantage of being the Queen's old friend and always uses his mushroom web to falsely convey her orders."

The fairy leader, Lady Moonberry, possessing wings more vibrant and beautiful than any other fairy and immense power, held two orbs of green fairy fire in her hands. She spoke with a mixture of wariness and helplessness:

"My fairies and I have been tricked by Marasmus many times. Don't let its age fool you, it's just as good at playing pranks as the fairies, even the forest ghosts can't compare. So, I suspect that Marasmus is lying this time when he said the Queen was willing to meet the messenger."

Old Mushroom Head has his own set of views on things.

What's even more frightening is that the Maramus's view of good and evil is clearly different from that of most living beings, and it cannot be trusted in such matters.

Most importantly

Lady Moonberry, who seemed more reliable than the other fairies, sighed:
“We all know that the Queen has exhausted herself trying to keep the woodlands from withering and dying. She is very weak now and we must not let outsiders find out.”

“Our queen is not good at fighting! Therefore, it is our duty as servants to protect her from harm.”

The world-renowned "Jelly Bear" Sovereign Elliot extended her sharp claws. This powerful soul bear guarded the palace entrance, warily watching Diakum approach, and shouted:
"The Queen is the foundation of Ardenweald and the symbol of the cycle of all things. Her majesty must not be challenged. Even if we may not be a match for this Holy Light Butcher, we must buy the Queen enough time to prepare."

This visit was too rushed.

And that moonlight.”

The patriarch Elliot looked at Diakum, who was enveloped in the cold moonlight, with a gaze that was both nostalgic and wary. She said:

"That is not the gentle moon that symbolizes warmth. As the god of the wilderness who once protected the world, I can tell you clearly that this 'cold moon' only blooms when the moon goddess decides to punish the enemies of nature."

The only lunar phase more dangerous than it is the 'Black Moon'.

Therefore, Ms. Bai's visit by sending a messenger was not actually motivated by goodwill.

Her meeting with the Queen will not be as peaceful as you imagine. Although we don't know much about the grudges between the two sides, everyone knows that the relationship between these two goddess sisters is not good. So, Helne, pick up your halberd!

We must stop the Holy Light Butcher before the Queen is ready to appear and prevent him from entering the Heart of the Forest Palace.

This powerful jelly bear, while invoking the power of nature to enhance its heavy wooden armor and helmet, said in a low voice:
“I’ll hold him off! Although I don’t know if I can hold him off, I was killed by demons and my world was destroyed by the Legion, but the Burning Legion has been repeatedly thwarted by Diakum. He is much stronger than me.”

But now I also have something I must protect!
I will not allow my home to be trampled upon a second time. Therefore, before I am defeated, you must do everything in your power to hinder him.

Meanwhile, Diakum, riding the reindeer wielding the Moon Goddess Sword, looked at the Forest Lords arrayed in front of the Heart of the Forest with a puzzled expression.

He said with considerable doubt:
"Didn't the Queen of Winter agree to see me? Why are these sect leaders still so aggressively trying to stop me? I haven't provoked them, have I?"

"Hey, you didn't provoke anyone, and you even acted quite amiably, but unfortunately, the lords under the Queen's command are somewhat paranoid due to their past experiences."

The voice of old mushroom-headed Marasmuse rang out beside Diakum, causing the watcher to turn around and see a small purple mushroom peeking out from the roadside, then "bouncing" and landing on Diakum's shoulder.

This is clearly the mushroom-headed "embodiment of power" saying to Diakum:
"They only know that the Queen and the White Lady don't get along, but they can't even understand where the conflict between these two true goddess sisters lies. They think that Moonlight and Winter are enemies, but they ignore that the Queen and the White Lady are just opposites at the two ends of the great cycle of life and death."

They are not enemies at all.

On the contrary, the bond between the Queen and the Moon Goddess is one of the deepest emotions in the universe.

The Queen herself knew this; she was always angry with Lady White, but not out of disgust or resistance.

They are a family!

Even though they have never truly met each other since birth, life and death cannot meet; they can only be forever confined to their own realms, maintaining the great cycle of life and death.

They knew of each other's existence, yet they could never truly hold hands and talk.

Ah, this tragedy truly breaks my heart! It hurts so much!
But your arrival, Holy Light Butcher, as a messenger, undoubtedly offers the Queen and the White Lady a completely new possibility.

Therefore, my advice to you, Old Mushroom, is to ignore those impulsive young people. They always think they are protecting the Queen, but they don't realize that their spontaneous recklessness will cause her a lot of trouble.

At this point, the purple mushroom-headed man snorted smugly a few times and said:

"That's why they're all the Queen's 'pets,' while I, Old Mushroom, am the Queen's friend. Every Her Majesty needs a 'sycophant' by her side who can make her feel relaxed and comfortable."

"Old Mushroom, I am honored to hold this position."

"Ah, Ardenweald is truly amazing! Not only do we have careless fairies, but also Vokai who kicks people with his hooves, and even a big mushroom-headed guy aspiring to become a 'treacherous minister'!" Diakum remarked.
"This is truly an eye-opener for a passing Warrior of Light! By the way, is this place always this cheerful?"

"It used to be much happier. When you were lucky, you could even occasionally see the Queen smile. That smile was like the thawing of winter and the arrival of spring. All the pain and loneliness of the world would be relieved and blessed in the Queen's smile."

"I, Old Mushroom, was the first life born from the Queen's first, triumphant smile after she personally created Ardenweald. From that moment on, Old Mushroom vowed to protect the Queen's most beautiful smile."

The old mushroom-headed man sighed and said:
"Unfortunately, in Old Mushroom's memory, the Queen's smile was always very restrained, and in recent years, due to the loss of anima, Ardenweald has begun to wither, and the Queen has not smiled for a very long time."

If this visit by Ms. Bai can make the Queen smile, Old Mo really would give anything.

"You said it yourself."

Diakum blinked and said:
“I’ve long heard that the mysterious mushroom web is found throughout every corner of Ardenweald, so the eyes of Maras Muses are also on every corner of this woodland. There is no secret that can be kept from you.”

I need you to do something for me, such as sneaking into the other side of Bumsandi without alerting Mu'ezara.

Can you do it?

"Hmph, Old Mushroom, I can send you into the soul prison that holds Bwonsamdi without anyone noticing. That's a piece of cake."

Maramus grinned and said:
"I even have mushroom rings in other countries. Those are the profound mysteries that I spent a very long time comprehending. Do you want to use my mushroom rings to travel back and forth to the Devouring Abyss? Hmm, this is a super high-level treatment that only true distinguished guests of the Immortal Forest can enjoy."

Of course, you'll have to pay for the enormous amount of anima energy required to travel to and from the Maw.

"Old Mushroom, I'm not going to pay out of my own pocket."

"Who in their right mind would want to go to hell?"

Diakum scoffed and said:
"But I do need you to pick up a friend 'up' at some point in the future. If you can really do that, then mental abilities are nothing."

However, let's focus on the meeting with the Queen for now.

Since you're so senior, could you please persuade these sect leaders to make way? I really don't want to fight in this beautiful place again. I suddenly realized that perhaps I should add a serene forest like the Azure Fairyland to the Supreme Heaven.

This place can truly calm a restless mind; it's a great spot for meditation.

"Hmph, these young people these days are just outrageous!"

Old Mushroom Head complained indignantly:

"Even though Old Mushroom clearly told them that the Queen was willing to receive you, her envoy, they just wouldn't believe it. They're just jealous that Old Mushroom could become the Queen's friend. Since they're so disrespectful to their elders, they deserve to be taught a lesson!"

you!
Powerful God of Holy Light, go and help me teach these arrogant young people a lesson.

Hit them hard, but don't hurt them.

If you do well, when you need to go to hell with the mushroom ring, I'll give you a discount.

"Good good."

Diakum, who had been a pacifist just moments before, perked up at the mention of a "hellish discount." He reached for the Sunstrider's warhammer on his back, sized up the jelly bear baring its teeth and claws as it lunged at him, and casually asked:
"So, how well-done do you want this old geezer who decided to 'hire someone to kill' because he felt his authority was challenged by being ignored by young people?"

"?!"

------

The Queen of Winter made many preparations in order to meet her sister.

She even altered the decorations in her palace, adorning her long dress with more blue flowers and making the flowers on her horns grow into a more beautiful shape.

Although he says he hates his sister, the two are so close that it's just a matter of him being sarcastic.

When faced with problems she couldn't solve, she would still seek her sister's help immediately. Clearly, in the eyes of the Queen of Winter, Elune, the moon goddess who was on the side of life, was much more trustworthy than her Eternal brothers and sisters.

This is enough to prove that the relationship between the sisters is not as bad as others imagine, although it certainly cannot be considered a harmonious family.

The point is, they're not just "fake besties," which already puts them ahead of 90% of "good friends."

Just as the Queen of Winter was "applying makeup," she suddenly heard the clamor of battle outside the palace, mixed with the cries of wild beasts and the sounds of trees being set ablaze. The repeated heavy blows made the sturdy Heart of the Forest Palace tremble, and the burst of energy caused the Queen's expression to change slightly.

She raised her hand, letting a staff covered in blooming and withering flowers fall into her grasp, and then appeared beneath the palace in the heart of the forest amidst the gradually shifting light of the universe.

As soon as the Queen of Winter appeared, a loud roar was heard, and then the powerful Sovereign Elliot flew over like a baseball, only to be caught by vines summoned by the Queen of Winter and placed on the ground.

The poor Jelly Bear was now engulfed in golden holy flames, and Moonberry was whimpering on her head. The unlucky fairy's wings were all broken.

This behavior of arbitrarily beating her own pet infuriated the Queen of Winter.

Her stern gaze was fixed on Diakum, who was wielding his warhammer to strike the Immortal Wood Spirit Sect Master. The pressure emanating from her deep blue eyes, as cold as a winter storm, forced Diakum to stop his "attack," but the shouts of Marasmus still echoed:

"Keep going! Why did you stop? Are you even capable, Holy Light Hound! Give it another hit! Let it know that there are always people more capable than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding. Let's see if they still dare to disregard the wisdom of the older generation!"

Ah, Queen!

Why did you suddenly appear? Um, old mushroom, I suddenly remembered that my 1378th tentacle hasn't had any water today.

I'm going now.

This guy jumped off Diakum's shoulder in a flash, slipped into the ground and disappeared without a trace. His level of earth-walking ability is so high that one could easily call him "the Earthwalker of the Azure Wilderness".

"Homage to you, Queen of the Woodlands."

Diakum drew a holy symbol and was about to step forward to express his apology.

The next second, the moonlight that enveloped him suddenly changed, and under Dick's slightly changed gaze, his spirit was manipulated by Elune's moonlight like a puppet on strings.

"I need to borrow your body so I can have a proper 'talk' with my sister!"

Ms. Bai whispered in Dick's ear:
"Don't resist, there will be 'benefits' for you afterward."

"that."

The Watcher watched as "himself," wielding the Sunstrider's warhammer bathed in the light of the frigid moon, charged toward the Queen of Winter. At this moment, he helplessly tried to dissuade him:

"We're all sisters, there's nothing we can't talk to each other about. Just be patient, any problem can be solved through conversation. Please don't fight!"

"boom"

The warhammer struck the Winter Queen's staff, representing Lady Elune's response.

The sisters haven't seen each other for years, so they definitely have to have a fight to reconnect.

Ps:

Queen of Winter:
