Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 688, Section 56: The True God's Family Affairs - The older sister resents the younger sister for neglecting the family, while the younger sister complains that the older sister doesn't take care of the pets.
The battle between the Winter Queen and Diakum
Uh, no, the battle between the Queen of Winter and Lady Elune, who "borrowed" Diakum's account to fight, went into a fierce frenzy right from the start.

Although the Queen of Winter is usually cold and aloof, she has a deep affection for Ardenweald.

She knew that unleashing her power would affect the foundation of the forest, and given that her sister seemed to have no intention of "holding back" this time, the Queen used her almost omnipotent authority in Ardenweald to forcibly send herself and Diakum out of the Heart of the Forest at the very beginning of the battle.

The two then appeared on a floating island near the Interdimensional Realm in Azure Fairyland, where they engaged in a fierce battle.

None of the above had anything to do with Diakum; this was perhaps the easiest fight he had ever had since his "debut."

Nonsense, with the Moon Goddess personally logging in to play for her, how could it not be easy?
Although it was indeed his spirit acting as the fighter, he was actually just providing a "divine power node." After Lady Elune "logged in," Diakum immediately discovered that his power had been completely transformed into the power of the life force in that instant.

The holy light vanished at that moment, replaced by the black and cold moon, like the God of War in the moonlight. Even a crescent moon appeared on Diakum's forehead, making the Vigilant feel as if he were about to transform into the "God of War in the Moonlight" in the next second.

But strangely, Dick's Holy Light Force was not stripped away as a result.

Instead, his Force and morality were temporarily "entrusted" in a peculiar way. As the Vigilant observed the battle between the sisters from a "third-party perspective" on the front lines, he glanced at his own character card.

Sure enough, the mythical talent of "Tao follows nature" that allows one to switch to the life force with a single click has been activated.

Only then did the vigilant realize the truth.

So, after all this time, you never intended for me to use this mythical talent you gave me, right? This thing was your backup plan for this "sisterly war"?

Is this the strategic planning ability of a true god?
It's so scary.

"don’t worry."

Seemingly sensing Diakum's worry, Elune, while battling her sister's "Cosmic Falling Star," also took the time to explain:
"You are currently in a very magical state between life and death. Your will and your body exist independently at this moment. Therefore, when your spirit activates the life force, it will not affect the 'path to godhood' that you are completing in the material world."

You are using Anser's divine body, and I have some very magical 'connection' with Anser. I can create the first Naaru with Anser during the Great Order of Light and Darkness, and I can also temporarily borrow your spirit body to become my 'weapon' after you obtain the body of the Sun God.

The six Forces in this cosmos are clearly distinct from each other, but there are always special circumstances that allow you to wield multiple Forces simultaneously.

No need to worry, vigilant.

After this conversation, I will ensure that your progress on the path of light and shadow will not be hindered in any way.

“I am not worried about these things. After all, you are a famous benevolent god in the Star Sea, and your morality dictates that you cannot force me to join the realm of life.”

Diakum wasn't flustered at all.

He admired the battle between the true gods, trying to learn a few powerful techniques for controlling strength from it, and then asked:
"But is the relationship between you and your sister really that bad? Do you have to fight each other every time you meet? You only told me before that you needed me as a messenger."

To be honest, I never imagined my role as a messenger wouldn't be delivering messages, but rather providing you with a sharp weapon you can use in battle yourself.

"That's not the case. At first, I really just wanted to talk to her."

Ms. Bai sighed and said:
"However, my sister harbored resentment and anger. She resented me, and if she couldn't release this long-simmering anger, it would be impossible for us to have a peaceful conversation."

You once told me that you wanted to reshape the great cycle of life and death.

I appreciate your efforts, but this is my and her responsibility!

Diakum, my sister and I have a responsibility and an obligation to put the current unbalanced cycle back on track. Just as you believe that we must light the sun ourselves, we cannot entrust this task to others.

Therefore, I chose to appear at this time.

"boom"

In the moon goddess's nonchalant description, "Diacam," shrouded in the light of the cold moon, leaped up and transformed into a giant forged from the cold moon on the floating island, swinging his warhammer and smashing it down on the head of the Winter Queen.

The moon goddess spoke very gently, but her actions were truly ruthless.

Unfortunately, it missed.

Before the weapons clashed, black, chilling vines sprang up, blocking the Queen's attack while binding and restraining Diakum's body. Then, amidst the Winter Queen's stern rebuke, she summoned a falling star from the universe.

The stars, frozen by the winter chill, crashed down with a deafening thud, striking Dick squarely on the head.

This attack made Diakum, who was watching from the sidelines, shrink back.

He thought to himself that the Queen of Winter was really hard-hearted. She knew that the other party was her own sister, but she still hit her hard. It was only because his spirit body was tough enough that he could withstand such a blow. If it were anyone else, they would have kicked the bucket on the spot.
"I said, since it's a battle, then you should put your heart into it."

Diakum, acting as a strategist, said to Lady Elune:

"I know so many fighting techniques, why don't you use them? Don't just take the beating without fighting back."

"Um... cough cough, I haven't actually fought in battle yet."

Ms. Bai said somewhat awkwardly:
“You know, I have been protecting Anser’s blazing sun from falling into the eclipse. Even when my beings in the material world are in danger, I have never descended incarnation. I have only chosen the God of War of the Moon to unleash my wrath.”

"Oh, you should have said so earlier."

Diakum said in a strange tone:
"When I saw you charging forward with your warhammer in hand, I thought you were very skilled in combat and therefore confident. Should I 'log in'?"
You can just watch from the side.

"I'm not bragging, but with your sister's strength level, give me some time, and I can definitely beat her!"

“There’s no need. Your consciousness has been tainted by the mysteries of the life force. Life is chaotic, but you need to remain pure and lean towards order. This is the direction the Holy Light wants you to take.”

The Moon Goddess responded:
"Just because I haven't fought much doesn't mean I can't. It's not that difficult; it just takes a little time to get used to it."

As he spoke, Dick saw himself, enveloped in moonlight, break free from the black vines binding the Queen of Winter, unleashing the moonlight into butterfly wings, just like the opening of the Wrath of Vengeance. Then, the streams of light from millions of stars and moons transformed into a falling constellation.

The energy meteorites, enveloped in icy moonfire, began to bombard the battle minions created by the Queen of Winter.

Elune manipulated the body of the Vigilant and rushed forward, unleashing a powerful attack with "Life Breaker" in a very skillful manner, breaking the Winter Queen's staff in a few moves.

Although they are of equal rank, the difference in absolute strength between these two sisters is indeed quite outrageous.

After Elune mastered the rhythm of the battle and began to adapt to the battlefield, the Winter Queen's advantage quickly dissipated. Most importantly, although Elune had not fought much herself, the Winter Queen's combat experience was not much more than that of her sister.

She only used her power to protect her Eternal Mark during the Zovaar rebellion. Apart from that, in the long years that followed, it was virtually impossible to find anyone in the Shadowlands who dared to challenge the Queen of Winter.

Under the system of destiny, the act of "inferior disobeying superior" is simply impossible.

Therefore, in Dick's eyes at this moment, the fight between the two goddess sisters could basically be summarized as "chickens pecking at each other," with terrible fighting skills and relying entirely on their exaggerated status and strength to mess around.

But the words came back again.

When one's rank is high enough, and one wields true power, there's no need to spend time casting spells or doing anything else.

When the power is returned to oneself, every move in battle contains supreme divine might. No matter how complex the system or defense, one can simply swing the weapon and slash wildly.

Just as Sargeras knew all the secrets of the Pantheon's power, his most proficient move was actually just that one move over and over again.

But it was that simple and unadorned "Star-Exploding Sword" that caused the material star sea to sink into the shadow of demons for more than 20,000 years.

Aggramar's Enemy Breaker swordsmanship isn't exactly divine; to sum it up, it's just "gathering all your strength and then hacking away wildly." To a technically skilled swordsman, it's utterly worthless. But is it really true that such swordsmanship can't unleash its true power due to a lack of technique?
Obviously not.

As Diakum himself gradually approached this level, he truly realized that the essence of power was simply a "plain and unadorned" numerical value.

It's not that mechanisms are forbidden, but mechanisms must appear together with numerical values; otherwise, even the most ingenious mechanisms become meaningless.

From this perspective, the battle between the two sisters can be considered a clash of great power rather than a true life-or-death struggle. Both sides are very restrained and tacitly refrain from using their own power concepts, which invisibly limits the scale and destructive power of the "war of gods".

However, even the most restrained person is not without temper.

When the Fairy Forest Staff in her hand was broken for the third time, and her shoulder was hit twice, the Queen of Winter was clearly enraged.

She unleashed another barrage of cosmic stars at her sister, but in the moonlit land, Elune was everywhere, and the falling stars couldn't touch the moon goddess at all. Just as the White Lady completed a dodge amidst the shimmering moonlight, her sister suddenly appeared before her amidst the withering roots.

Wearing a gorgeous blue dress adorned with beautiful butterfly wing decorations, the Winter Queen took direct action this time.

He gripped Dick's horn with his fingers, which symbolized the cold winter of all things, pulled him close, and slapped the Watcher across the face. This made Diakum, who was watching from the sidelines, bare his teeth.

Wow, does a goddess still slap someone and pull their hair when she fights?

This combat technique is way too basic!
However, ignoring the pointless detail that it was herself who was being slapped, this "goddess slap" was indeed quite entertaining.

Elune was also enraged by the slap.

She dropped the warhammer, and instinctively grabbed her sister's white braid with both hands, pulling her back until she stumbled. Then she swung her hand and slapped her sister across the face.

This blow was even heavier.

The Queen of Winter was knocked down and staggered, then screamed and jumped up to fight with her sister again.

Well, this really turns into a "sisterly brawl."

They even resorted to their signature move of "choking," with Elune sometimes pinning down the Queen of Winter and tearing petals from her treetops, and other times the Queen of Winter would knock down the Moon Goddess and choke her repeatedly.

Diakum watched the spectacle while simultaneously repenting.

He knew that as a believer in the Holy Light, he should not derive pleasure from the violence of others; such base pleasures were not fit for a vigilant saint.

However, he simply couldn't ignore the explosive scene of goddesses fighting in front of him.

They even wanted to record this scene and show it to the Moon Goddess priests later, which would probably make the priests, who were a dozen months old, either furious or ashamed to death on the spot.

"Hey, you holy light thug, how dare you hit a woman!"

Just as Diakum was confessing, a scream rang out from the edge of the woods.

The pitiful Lady Moonberry sat atop the equally pitiful Lord Elliot's head; the fairy and the jelly bear couldn't even muster four intact legs.

The fairy leader couldn't stand it when he saw Diakum pinning the "ragged" Queen of Winter to the ground and tearing at her hair in a very undignified manner.

She screamed:

"Let go! Let go of our Queen right now! What kind of behavior is this? How can a grown man hit a woman? If you continue like this, I'm going to record this and show it to your followers!"

Conservative estimates suggest that this will shame at least several hundred die-hard followers of the Holy Light!

Everyone knows that the moral standards of you Holy Light believers are generally quite high.

"Hey, I'm a victim too, okay?"

Diakum explained helplessly:

"That is my body, that's true, but I'm not controlling it. Didn't you see the moonlight enveloping my spirit? It's Lady Elune in charge now. That's a family conflict between sisters, and I don't think I have the right to interfere."

Similarly, you don't either.

"what?"

Dick's explanation using the concept of consciousness left the arriving sect leaders speechless. After confirming that the Guardian was not lying, the sect leaders of Azure Fairyland looked at each other in bewilderment.

Old Mushroom Head Marasmuse peeked out from a distance to watch the sisters' battle, and even uttered abstract sentiments such as "fighting and bickering is the best way for family members to get along."

Moonberry is right!

This old mushroom head's understanding of family relationships is rather abstract. It's probably the only being present who thinks this kind of "goddess fighting" is really great, but it's clearly gone beyond the scope of playful fighting.

Hey, if you don't do something about this, it's going to be a "divine" disaster!

"No more fighting!"

The sect leader, Elliot, cried out in anguish:
"Queen! Withdraw your power! The Azure Fairyland is trembling. If you continue to unleash your power like this, our forest will crumble! Moon Goddess, Lady White, that's enough!"

Please stop provoking the Queen.

She shouldn't be so angry, much less so violent.

The call of the Familia startled the Queen of Winter for a moment, and then she immediately reduced her power. Elune also tacitly controlled her power at the legendary level, which was basically equivalent to "mortal" to the goddess.

The battle between the two sisters continues, but Ardenweald will no longer suffer any disaster because of this conflict.

In reality, only Diakum, the "third party," could overhear the shouts and roars that the Winter Queen and Lady Elune uttered during the battle.

The communication between gods is obviously not something mortals can overhear, and Dick also felt that this rebuke was not suitable for too many mortals to know.

“You spend your days guarding that broken Anser, while neglecting your duty to the Force of Life. The galaxy you have been tending is not thriving, and even the Azure Fairyland is unable to rise from its withered state.”

The Queen of Winter cursed:

"So which is more important to you? Anser? Or the prosperity of life? You are a true god, don't you understand that 'the sunset is a natural law'?"

You good-for-nothing!
I'm going to hit you awake!

"You're the one who's blind. Once Anser falls into the void, the entire material universe will be doomed."

Elune retorted:

"You still have the nerve to accuse me of dereliction of duty? Look at yourself, how many spirit seeds have you accumulated in your Ardenweald over the years? You abandoned your own Garden of Spirits, preventing the resurrection of the dead Eternal Spirits!"
But every god of the wilderness is a guardian of the world!

Without their protection, how many worlds would have fallen under the iron heel of the Burning Legion? The decline of life in the galaxy and its inability to flourish is largely your fault!

Sister, you've disappointed me so much!

You're the one who's really neglecting your duties!

“I’m derelict in my duty? Do you think I’m willing to use my precious anima to bind the Lord of the Maw? But if I don’t bind Him, the destiny system left by the Firstborn will collapse. Revendreth is also causing trouble, making the anima available to us less and less. Where am I going to get so much anima to supply the resurrection of the Spirit Seeds?”
I painstakingly manage Azure Empyrea, and I have to carefully calculate every drop of energy!
Do you really know how much pain I felt when I saw those woodlands withering because of a lack of willpower?

You don't understand at all!
You, this abundant moon who possesses an entire material world, providing you with endless resources, are a spoiled brat raised in a honey pot. You cannot understand my suffering.

"You are suffering, but do you think I have had a pleasant life all these years? You are too arrogant to even understand the responsibilities your sister bears. You are trapped in the Shadowlands and cannot comprehend how bad the situation in the material world is!"

You at least have other eternal beings with you, but I have only been alone in the realm of life from beginning to end. Do you really think I am enjoying a life of luxury?
You're the worst sister in the world!

"You are! You are the worst sister!"

"Uh"

Seeing the argument between the two shift from "reasoning" to "unreasonable and personal attacks," Dick felt he should step in.

他 说:

"I think you two have vented your anger enough, perhaps it's time."

"Shut up! Outsider! This is our family matter, it's none of your business to speak."

"Diacombe, don't get involved. Once I've dealt with this madwoman, I'll give you the reward you deserve. Ardenweald also has moonlight! I could have communicated with her using moonlight, but this madwoman banished my moonlight and deliberately severed the connection!"
She provoked us first!

I just want to ask her what she's trying to do?

"Are you crazy? Didn't you remove the moonlight yourself? Didn't you stop the moonlight from shining on Azure Fairyland because you were indifferent to my request? Didn't you treat me coldly first, etc.!"

We think we've been tricked!

Sister, stop!
I ask you, when did you realize your moonlight had vanished from Ardenweald?
