Make Azeroth breathtaking

"Let's go find a safe area and log off. I have a feeling these bugs will definitely come after us."

——————————————Tannis's dividing line——————————————————

"Outside the map?"

After suppressing Leviathan, Tannis piloted the Sordbrega to connect with the planetary fortress and worked with other technicians to debug the massive war machine. Then, the news of Old D and his crew's ordeal on Earth was displayed before her eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case. Even Sargeras's domain, Azeroth has already grasped its outline."

Iggy stood beside Tannis, swiping his finger across the enormous star map in front of them, his tone puzzled.

"However, it is a fact that they cannot contact us over there—it has been confirmed that even if they are online, they appear to be offline."

"...This is not right. It must be in this 'universe'. Something must be covering it up."

After confirming once again that the location sent could indeed not be marked on the star map, Iggy removed his finger from the star map.

"What leap forward do we need to look at in the past?"

"I don't know, we need to first determine if that place is an 'reachable' area."

60. Emon's true purpose

Completely disordered.

When Tennys piloted New Gransen to this area marked 'Unknown,' the scene that greeted her eyes made that word come to mind involuntarily. Planets of various shapes, ranging from round to square, even regular polyhedra and irregular polyhedra, drifted aimlessly in the void, occasionally colliding and spewing out clouds of magma, which then solidified into wandering meteorites. Comets with long tails—some even with two or three tails—traversed erratically on completely irregular paths, as if they were eager to crash into something at any moment. In the depths of space, dozens of stars churned with blue plasma flames, but strangely, on the instruments, these flames did not exhibit temperatures exceeding tens of thousands of degrees, but rather... a deathly cold approaching absolute zero!

"...This is not the void, neither our void nor the void of World of Warcraft could be like this."

Iggy, piloting a machine that looked very much like a sorcerer, floated beside New Gransen. Her tone was as cautious as could be. She knew that even the most chaotic of the six fundamental powers, fel energy and the most ethereal void, still had an 'inner order' in essence. But what she was seeing now did not look orderly at all!

"...Wait a minute? The place we arrived at wasn't this chaotic."

Behind the two mechs, Old D, piloting a mass-produced mech codenamed 'Undead,' was immediately bewildered. After confirming that in-game teleportation and summoning methods were ineffective in getting them out, the Earth side decided to record the area's 'program coordinates' and use an anti-glitch system to extract them. Meanwhile, Tannis and the others, having determined that the area seemed to have excessive Void Energy, decided on a tactic where two of the most skilled Void Manipulators in Azeroth would pilot their custom mechs, leading a group of infiltrators piloting mass-produced mechs equipped with Void Engines instead of conventional engines, to the vicinity for reconnaissance. But now, the scene before them...

"X coordinate 235635 Y coordinate 167673 Z coordinate 632221 Time point coordinate 7323,,,,,Nothing."

However, the chaos of this area was just the initial surprise. Less than a minute later, a second surprise was slapped in the faces of these visitors—the location where Old D and his group were initially teleported out, the coordinate area locked by both sides after quantification—was completely empty!

"Is it covered by some kind of barrier or barrier?"

Iggy fiddled with the crystal ball in front of her and scanned the space around her. The result left her speechless. No matter which spectrum she was scanning, the result was completely empty!

"Don't waste your time, Iggy. I even sent a drone to take a look around and tried quantum leaps, but there was nothing there."

"This is really interesting. From Earth's perspective, there really is 'something' over there..."

Iggy licked his lips, his whole being surging with energy.

"Charge straight in?"

—————————————The dividing line for the forced opening of the warp drive tunnel————————————————

The unchanging blue sky.

The sun remains unchanged.

Yellow sand blown by the wind in the desert.

And... the crashed spaceship.

"You first appeared in this place?"

Tannis gently slid her hand across the crystal ball in front of her, analyzing her surroundings while communicating with Old D and the others.

"Ah...yes."

Looking at the familiar scene before him, even Old D, who was just there to play the game, realized something was wrong. Indeed, it was normal to appear in the same place the first step when entering a dungeon, but was this really a 'dungeon' in the conventional sense?

"We've lost contact with the outside world, Tannis—just the moment we entered this area."

"Yeah, I noticed that too. It's really interesting... This place seems to have its own order, or rather, it doesn't?"

After saying this, Tannis thought for a moment, then switched her module to NPC mode. Instantly, a bright yellow quest popped up above her head.

"A chain of quests has begun. The first step is to collect one hundred mutated creatures—by the way, I can tell you in advance the reward for completing this questline, which may take an unknown amount of time..."

After announcing the end of the mission and re-entering the team channel, Tannis had a 'fishing' smile on her face.

"This is the robot we're renting to you now. It can fire physical and energy machine guns, slash people with lightsabers, bombard with rocket launchers, deliver powerful punches, and even perform incredibly cool kicks—the firepower system will be fully retained."

——————————————Reality dividing line——————————————————

"Damn? So you get your own carrots after completing this mission?"

Because the area was so eerie, after accepting the mission, Old D and the others, with Tannis and Iggy's consent, logged off and reported the progress to Earth. Players they knew, who had apparently triggered some kind of 'hidden mission,' swarmed around them, bombarding them with questions about the details of the mission.

"...I guess so."

Although their tone was very calm, anyone could hear the smugness in Old D and the others' words—after all, while owning a robot in a game isn't uncommon these days, having your own robot—even in World of Warcraft—is something no one has ever achieved. Unlike the 'MMO' robots that could be controlled by simply pressing ABCD at the beginning, this robot, brought by someone from another Azeroth, is so hardcore that it can immerse you in an experience that will leave you feeling incredibly satisfied! Furthermore, many people have realized that in the foreseeable future—if humanity isn't destroyed by the Doomsday Creatures currently ravaging the online world—World of Warcraft will definitely become a 'digital world,' and many things in World of Warcraft will be closely linked to reality, especially in terms of programming.

"But what's going on with that place? With my ten years of gaming experience, there shouldn't be any monsters in undeveloped areas."

"I don't know, but anyway, just do it, right?"

"Indeed, there's nothing wrong with it..."

————————————Argus————————————————————

“Just do it, that’s probably what my ‘compatriots’ are thinking right now, but they don’t know what they are about to face.”

Inside Argus's dark palace, Amon toyed with a sphere filled with unfathomable power, which from a purely programming perspective appeared to be nothing more than a ball overwritten with excessive data, and chatted happily with Sargeras. Meanwhile, the Destroyer stared at his nominal 'subordinate,' who had been recruited but was now becoming increasingly unfathomable, with a ghostly glint in his eyes.

"If they hadn't 'exposed' your secret, how long would you have kept it from me?"

“I haven’t hidden the fact that I’ve piled up ‘unnecessary data,’ Sargeras.”

As he uttered words that Sargeras could not refute logically, Amon clenched his right hand and shattered the data orb in his grasp. Watching this action, the evil flames in Sargeras's eyes intensified.

"So, what kind of world did you create? What exactly were those data that were filtered through my body and then removed by you?"

"What you want to understand is what biological emotions can bring you—Sargeras, and biological emotions, from a human perspective, can be positive or negative... Do you understand, Sargeras, your plan to destroy the world has compromises... You only want to usurp control of 'Azeroth,' that's not enough, really, not enough... You can't spread chaos into reality; your plan to destroy the world is merely a game..."

Chaotic flames rose around Amon, and this being, who could no longer be considered human, vanished amidst maniacal laughter.

"And that world—is a world purely composed of 'negative emotional data'! The core order is nothing more than the reversal of extremes!"

61. Probing Attack

"That's not right? Why isn't there any feedback at all?"

Tanis, dressed in a seamless, technologically advanced suit of armor, held a scanning device in her left hand and tapped her mechanical assistant with her right. She looked at the neatly arranged Zerg creatures in front of her with a puzzled expression. Beside her, Iggy had set up a high-pressure lava cauldron and was desperately boiling a Zerg corpse.

"No response, brute force won't work either."

After simmering for about five minutes, Iggy, looking annoyed, had his magical assistant remove the insect corpse from his special solution and throw it back onto the ground. Seeing this, Tannis's mechanical arm grabbed the creature—which Iggy had perfectly manipulated with his frying, braising, and stewing techniques, yet still retained its shape—shaken it a couple of times, flipped the laser, and sliced ​​it open.

"The inside is completely unchanged. Are you sure you didn't use boiling water?"

"Would I make such a mistake?"

Iggy snapped back at Tannis, then turned and had his magic assistant pack up the equipment. He walked over to Tannis and kicked the motionless insect corpse on the ground.

"My methods using Azeroth are ineffective, and your methods using Earth's programming are also ineffective. What do you think?"

"At least they still follow the rules of the 'game'."

Tannis adjusted her glasses settings and tried scanning the pile of things on the ground again—still nothing was found.

"If they really come from the 'StarCraft' timeline, then even if they follow the rules, it's useless! The simulated Zerg are completely different from the real Zerg!"

Having already scoured a vast amount of information from the Earth's internet, Iggy was utterly bewildered by what lay before her. In her view, while her own Azeroth had been drastically altered compared to the normal timeline, the StarCraft universe...

Yes, productivity is absolutely crushing...

"If all else fails, there's only one way."

Tanis tapped her hands lightly, making a pointed gesture.

"While it's still following the 'rules of the game,' try to solve it using game-like methods? I haven't seen you act this recklessly since the Legion War."

Iggy tapped his palm lightly, his tone amused.

"My gut feeling tells me that this place holds a crucial answer that could influence the outcome of this battle."

———————————Forward Dividing Line————————————————————

"That's the mother nest over there."

With the help of the camouflage device, Tennys and her group successfully followed the path where Old D was first riddled with bullets and arrived at a place where they could see the Mother Nest. Tennys gently rotated the camera to zoom in on the distant scene.

"Um....."

Gazing at the massive flesh and blood fortress that continued to writhe at a leisurely pace, occasionally tossing spores from its top, Tannis gently slid her right hand across the control crystal. The cover on New Gransen's chest opened, and a crystal ball wreathed in light and shadow emerged from it.

"Fire at this point?"

"I want to confirm something—I've suddenly realized something we've all been overlooking..."

After saying this, Tannis quickly switched True Granson's communication channel to broad spectrum, activated the automatic translation function, took a deep breath, and pushed the launch knob forcefully.

"Something I don't even know what it is! This is a treasure bestowed upon you by your great-aunt!!"

————————————Remus's dividing line————————————————————

pain.

Tortured.

Remus felt a burning rage deep within him—despite his current 'comfort'.

'I swear, I will make you all die, come to me, be bound by my power, and suffer eternal torment...'

Guided by a stream of data of unknown origin, Remus not only learned more, but also miraculously gained access to the current situations of those who had bullied him when he was still alive. He even successfully established weak but unreliable connections with their electronic devices. Seeing that these people were all living well, the fire of resentment deep within Remus grew even stronger—yes! If he hadn't felt so hopeless about life, why would he have chosen this path?

'Your smugness won't last long....'

Staring at a recent 'intelligence' report featuring a photo of a classmate who used himself as a 'cushion' in middle school to demonstrate his masculinity to girls, his mind, now flooded with far more knowledge, easily concocted several plans to cause his 'accidental death.' Driven by this completely distorted way of thinking, the alien insects he 'bred' underwent a fundamental change in form, exhibiting a more cruel and aggressive appearance—of course, he was completely unaware of it at the moment.

Just as Remus was 'gritting his teeth' and 'thinking' about how to solidify his connection with reality, return to the human world as an electronic ghost, bring 'the baptism of death' to certain individuals, and then capture them to torture them forever, a sharp voice rang in his ears without warning—the voice was so terrible that Remus actually had the illusion that he was still alive!
