Spellcasting Gods

If all these demons were to come to Azeroth all at once, even if all the living beings of Azeroth were united, they would still be no match for them.

Zhang Cheng smiled slightly and replied with a touch of emotion, "This is Argus, the homeworld of the Eredar, the birthplace of Archimonde the Defiler and Kil'jaeden the Deceiver. How about that? Isn't it amazing? Actually, I've always been curious about how Azeroth has been able to withstand the Burning Legion's invasions time and time again. In my opinion, whether in terms of quality or quantity, the Legion's power far surpasses that of this world."

"You're planning to join the demons!" Ansrem Ruinvivor sensed something and questioned him nervously.

"No, not to surrender, but to join them and gain the knowledge and power I need. You don't know yet, do you? Deep within this planet, there lives a living Titan. Although his mind has been corrupted and twisted, he can help me understand the essence of the Titans. Enough talk, if you have nothing else, I'm leaving now." With that, Zhang Cheng swayed his enormous body, crouched low, and prepared to pass through the fragile portal to Argus.

"Wait! Are you willing to abandon your race and humanity for power?"

Before he could even stick his head in, he heard the Grand Master's urgent voice behind him.

“Why not? Do you think I'm the kind of person who took this path on a whim or because I was seduced? On the contrary, I chose to embrace the darkness myself, and I also decided to abandon narrow-minded racial prejudices. If you intend to preach those boring platitudes to me, or try to sway me with a passionate speech, I'm sorry, that won't work. Every decision I make is carefully considered, and I will never regret it. Goodbye, Master Anslem Ruinwivor, thank you for your help…”

After saying this meaningful sentence, Zhang Cheng passed through the portal without hesitation.

The moment his massive body squeezed through, the already unstable portal structure collapsed, releasing astonishing energy.

next second...

boom!

A violent energy explosion swept through the entire sealed hall, blowing everyone present off balance. A few unlucky souls at the front were even burned by the shockwave and fell to the ground, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.

No one noticed that the moment the portal exploded, a small figure rushed out of the darkness and jumped into the portal before it closed.

……

Stepping on the land already corrupted by fel energy, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and chuckled to himself, "Energy! Energy everywhere! What a wonderful aura! Using a newborn brethren as the Legion's energy source, Sargeras is truly more cruel and ruthless than expected. But it doesn't matter; for me, this is even better. What do you think, my dear friend?"

"Damn it! You came to this cursed planet just to study the Titans?" Chromie couldn't help but grit his teeth and mutter curses under his breath.

“Of course! Titans are the highest level of life forms I can currently access and understand. To surpass them, one must naturally understand them. Aren’t you curious about what kind of life form a Titan is that can grant such powerful abilities to the guardian dragons?” Zhang Cheng lowered his head and looked at the tiny dwarf loli at his feet, who seemed as insignificant as an ant.

Chromie rolled her eyes in exasperation: "Of course I'm curious! But the problem is, you're absolutely insane! You actually dared to devour the remains of the Dark Titan Sargeras! To be honest, I find it incredible that you've survived this long."

"Hahaha! There's a saying that goes, you have to pay a price for what you want to gain, and I'm prepared to pay any price. Alright, stop complaining, let's go visit Kil'jaeden the Deceiver and see if he's willing to accept me, the intruder." Zhang Cheng laughed, bent down, carefully picked up the dwarf loli, placed her on his shoulder, and then strode towards the Burning Throne of Antorus.

Because the Titan's body structure is different from that of normal life, he cannot control it very well, so walking is obviously safer than teleportation magic.

Chapter 888 Titan (Part 1)

The Burning Throne of Antorus is the core of the entire world of Argus, the place where the Star Soul gave birth to the Titans, and also the deepest part of the Earth's core.

However, it has now been transformed into the Burning Legion's lair and energy source. The powerful force originating from the Titans is being continuously forged into ultimate weapons of destruction to annihilate all enemies who dare to resist the Legion's rule.

So far, no rebels have been able to get here, or even get close.

As the lieutenant of the Dark Titan Sargeras, Kil'jaeden is currently deep within the throne, squinting as he reviews intelligence transmitted from all corners of the universe.

Especially the destruction of Nazreza, the homeworld of the Dreadlords, not long ago, not only severely weakened the Legion but also resulted in the loss of an astonishing number of troops.

Most importantly, every single demon who died on that planet vanished without a trace, so much so that no one has figured out what happened.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since the Burning Legion was founded.

shame!

anger!

consternation!

Furthermore, the invincible Legion's repeated invasions of Azeroth and subsequent defeats led this powerful spellcaster to begin to doubt whether the Dark Titans could still deliver on their promises.

Just as the fraudsters were frowning, considering whether to plan another invasion, an Eredar warlock rushed in from outside, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly, "My lord, our watchers have spotted a huge humanoid creature that looks very much like our master, rushing toward the throne at an extremely fast speed."

"Master?!" A hint of surprise appeared on Kil'jaeden's usually expressionless face.

Because in the eyes of all the demons in the Burning Legion, there is only one true master, and that is the great Dark Titan Sargeras.

As far as he knew, Sargeras was drifting in the distant universe and would take a long time to reach Azeroth.

After all, a complete Titan is no ordinary creature. Ordinary portals cannot transport life forms of this level. In addition, Sargeras is strictly speaking a warrior, so forget about teleportation. He should just run away on his own.

The Eredar warlock, clearly unaware of what the Deceiver was thinking, nodded quickly: "That's right! A large part of his body is metallic, brimming with unimaginable fel energy, while the other half is flesh and blood, containing various magical energies, including arcane, giving him a very strange appearance. Most importantly, he showed no hostility whatsoever, nor did he destroy any bases along the way."

"Oh? That sounds interesting. Let's go take a look." Kil'jaeden immediately became interested, stood up, and passed through the portal not far away, appearing directly at the entrance to the throne room.

Before he could even stand up straight, he heard a rumbling sound coming from afar.

A giant, over a hundred meters tall, was seen running at an astonishing speed, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"Ah! I've finally found you, esteemed fraudster." The giant bowed gracefully, one hand on his chest.

"Who are you?" Kil'jaeden asked, carefully observing the half of his body that had become Titan.

As Sargeras' most trusted lieutenant, he could recognize at a glance that this was the body his master had used when he descended upon Azeroth.

Because the portal that could be opened at the time was too small, the Dark Titan had no choice but to abandon most of its power and enter in a very vulnerable state, which is why it was defeated by the Guardians at the time.

To the fraudsters' utter surprise, the body left behind by the master appeared before them in a completely different form.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I want to join the Burning Legion and learn those forbidden things," Zhang Cheng said with a smile, revealing his purpose.

Regardless, he was fused with Sargeras's remains, and his entire body radiated astonishing fel energy. He was undoubtedly a member of the Legion, and a high-ranking one at that.

At least in the eyes of the vast majority of demons, the power possessed by this half-body surpasses that of 99% of demons, and is estimated to be comparable to Archimonde and Kil'jaeden.

"You crave knowledge?" A strange light flashed in Kil'jaeden's eyes.

Zhang Cheng nodded without hesitation: "Yes! I crave knowledge! I crave power! Please give me a chance, I will not let the Legion down."

“Excellent! On behalf of the Legion, I welcome you to the Legion. However, before that, I would like to conduct a thorough examination to ascertain your current condition.” Kil'jaeden, true to his reputation as a deceiver, quickly offered his terms of exchange.

As a lieutenant of the Dark Titan, he was essentially no different from Archimonde; both longed to go further and become Dark Titans themselves.

Therefore, he was very interested in the semi-Titan-like life form in front of him.

Just as Zhang Cheng said, it doesn't matter who it is, what matters is what they can provide for the legion.

……

Soon, led by the fraudster, Zhang Cheng dragged his massive body into the deepest part of the Burning Throne of Antorus and began to cooperate with the other party in conducting a comprehensive, three-dimensional examination.

Although there is a Titan corrupted and twisted by fel energy on the planet Argus, no one dares to conduct any experiments on him.

To be precise, apart from Sargeras, there might not be another person in the entire Burning Legion who could slice through the metallic skin covering the Titan's body.

As for the scenes of players battling Titans in the game, they can probably only exist in the game. In reality, they would be instantly killed without even blinking.

No one noticed that while Kil'jaeden was trying to figure out Zhang Cheng's current state, a short, cute dwarf girl sneaked into Argus the Destroyer's room when no one was paying attention.

This time, however, she restrained her intense curiosity and did not try to get close to this extremely powerful life form, but simply hid in a corner to observe.

Several hours later, when she was sure the other party showed no signs of waking up, she took a deep breath and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "God! I must be crazy! How could I agree to such a dangerous mission? That's a Titan! The most powerful life form in the universe! If he wakes up, I'll probably be killed by a sneeze."

Despite her complaints, she still approached, took out a uniquely shaped longsword from her pocket, and with trembling hands scraped some star-like substance off Argus the Destroyer's body. Then she fled as if her life depended on it, not daring to linger for even a second longer...

Chapter 889 Titan (Part 2)

Elite Eredar warlocks, magic engineers, surviving dreadlords...

Kil'jaeden the Deceiver quickly gathered the Burning Legion's most skilled researchers to the Burning Throne to begin in-depth research on Half-Zhang Cheng's extremely bizarre life form, attempting to unravel the mystery of his half-Titanized body.

In exchange, Zhang Cheng also obtained the dark knowledge he had been longing for from the other party, especially the shadow energy born from the Twisted Void, which was described more accurately and profoundly than any book or document.

After all, the Dark Titan Sargeras's personality changed drastically because he felt the immense threat of the Twisting Nether, so if there is anyone in this world who understands the Shadow the most, it must be him.

Look at the Burning Legion's powerful shadow spells; their essence is to steal energy from the Twisting Nether and transform it into magic with immense destructive power.

Fel energy, on the other hand, combines shadow energy with the Titans' own arcane energy, and under the powerful twisting of Sargeras' will, it is a completely new energy system. In essence, it is closer to "fighting fire with fire," using shadow to fight the Twisting Nether, just as the Void Lords sent the Old Gods to corrupt the Star Soul in an attempt to obtain the Void Titans—essentially no different.

The only difference is that the former is guided by the Titan's own will, while the latter is guided by the will of the Void Lords.

It was precisely because Sargeras drew upon the power of the shadows that he was able to single-handedly slaughter all the other Titans of the Pantheon.

Just as Zhang Cheng was trying to find something truly useful to him from the chaotic records and vast amount of theoretical knowledge, he suddenly discovered that the Eredar warlocks, magic engineers, and dreadlords who had surrounded him had all left at some point, leaving him alone in the empty hall.

"Hmph! These guys must have discovered something, so they ran to Kil'jaeden to report. But it's alright, I can take this opportunity to do some small experiments." With that, Zhang Cheng turned around and beckoned to a pillar in the corner. "Come out, dear Chromie, the demons won't be back for a while."

"You can see me?!" The dwarf girl peeked half her head out from behind the pillar, cautiously looking around, her two big, mischievous eyes filled with vigilance.

no way!

This is the Burning Throne of Antorus in Argus, the lair of the demons.

Although she was a fully grown bronze dragon, in the eyes of the most powerful demons, she was no different from a chick.

The so-called guardian dragons can only reign supreme in the remote and impoverished land of Azeroth. Once they enter the vast and boundless universe, they will be crushed and rendered powerless in no time.

“Of course I can see you! Don’t forget, I now possess a small portion of Titan power. For me, there are no secrets in this world. So, did you get what I wanted?” Zhang Cheng put down the crystal he used to store knowledge, an expectant expression on his face.

Without hesitation, Chromie nodded and handed over the uniquely shaped longsword and the substance that shimmered like stars: "Here, this is something I secretly scraped off the surface of that Titan's skin. He seems to be in some kind of slumber and shows no signs of waking up."

"Believe me, it's a good thing he didn't wake up, otherwise you would have witnessed firsthand what the annihilation of all things is like," Zhang Cheng hinted meaningfully.

As he spoke, he very cautiously used his magical power to summon the powder, which shone like stars, to his eyes.

Without a doubt, these mysterious, light-spot-like substances are very similar to the things that remain inside the Dark Titan's shell and the orb of light placed at the top of the Time Tower.

First, they are all something between energy and matter, and they can transmit complex information to each other.

Secondly, these things have an unimaginable ability to assimilate; even a tiny bit of them can instantly turn an ordinary person into a madman or monster.

Finally, and most importantly, integrating these "Titan cells" into oneself is not as simple as fusing with a dragon's body, transplanting Mind Flayer's brain cells, or devouring Gruul's blood. One wrong move and you'll be dead.

"The extinction of all things?" Chromie raised his eyebrows in disbelief, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of the word.

“That’s right! The annihilation of all things! What do you think Sargeras did by imprisoning a Titan corrupted by fel energy on the Burning Throne? Naturally, it was to use him as his ultimate weapon. The power of corrupting a single Titan is even more terrifying than the entire Burning Legion combined; it can easily destroy a world.”

As he said these words, a rare and intense sense of apprehension appeared in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

It's important to know that the Titans' nickname as humanoid star destroyers wasn't just for show; they truly possessed the power to destroy a planet.

"Can't we try to awaken and purify him?" Chromie suggested somewhat naively.

Zhang Cheng scoffed and shook his head: "Don't dream! Purify a Titan corrupted by fel energy? Are you kidding me! Why don't you try purifying Sargeras, the founder of the Burning Legion? Wouldn't that bring peace to the entire universe? My friend, Titans are extremely special and pure life forms. They are born from the Star Soul and are destined from the moment they awaken to be unchangeable by external forces. The only thing that can change them is themselves. To purify a Titan means to kill him. Tell me, what do you think can kill a Titan? The Dragon Aspects of Azeroth? The Dragon Aspects' power even originates from the Titans' gifts. Even Neltharion, the so-called most powerful Black Dragonflight King, is nothing more than a tiny insect that can be crushed at will in front of a Titan."

"Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch him be awakened by Sargeras and then destroy beautiful Azeroth?" Chromie retorted, unconvinced.

"No, we can do nothing, and we can't do anything. Don't forget, from the moment you came with me to Argus, you abandoned your duties as a Bronze Dragonflight and planned to go to another world. As for me, I just want to take this opportunity to conduct some small experiments with that sleeping Titan. Perhaps once I find a way to fully transform myself into a Titan, I'll consider resolving Azeroth's predicament once and for all. Alright, hide quickly. I sense a massive amount of fel energy approaching; if I'm not mistaken, it should be Kil'jaeden the Deceiver coming. Remember, don't make any unnecessary moves, or if you're discovered, even suicide will be a luxury."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Zhang Cheng extended a finger and tapped the dwarf girl's head. Chromie's entire body instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared behind the pillar where she had been hiding...
