Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The guardians of Azeroth quickly determined their opinions on rescuing Lord Eonar, and they were ready to set off. However, in the Argus star field, Black and Zella's "prophetic conversation" had just begun.

Although there is also a reason why the time flow rate in the two worlds is slightly different.

But it was more because Zela wanted to use the power of the Holy Light to restrain the crazy ancestor Naruzlali and bring her to Black as promised. This process was a waste of time.

As a result, Naaru, who was wrapped in holy light and was about the same size as Zeira, but looked more "grey" and faded, started yelling again after seeing Black:

"Sin! Terrible sin, your monument is as huge as a mountain!"

"Oh my God, this is a mess."

Although Zella is a naaru with a good temper and patience, she felt a little headache in the rush. She controlled the holy light to silence Zilali's voice, and said to Black very embarrassedly:

"Please forgive me, Lord Black. My compatriot has suffered too much, which has caused her to become a little delirious. I can guarantee that Zlali has no ill intentions towards you. She just escaped from a long imprisonment and needs to rest for a while.

Please ask my soldiers to tell me that you have a way to treat her? "

"Well, I have an idea."

Outside the dark temple that was the only remaining part of this broken small star, Blake stood on the floating island suspended in the ruined star ring. He looked away from the surrounding star sea that was dark and mixed with fel nebulae, and looked at Ze Ra said:

"In addition, before the treatment begins, I want to correct one thing. Your compatriot is not talking nonsense. Dear Zella, her crazy expressions are all correct.

That's true in every sense of the word. "

"Um?"

Zella was a little confused by the pirate's words, and she said:

"Are you referring to Zlali saying that your sins are as big as a mountain?"

"It's not a sin, it's a monument to sin."

The pirate corrected himself like an old scholar:

"It's two different things.

She said that if my sin monument was carved, it would be as big as a mountain, and I have no doubt about it. And I do have heavy sins and I don’t know who to confess to.

What I mean is that your compatriot lost some of her original holy light qualities during the long-term extraction of anima and infusion of sin and was overly infected by the power of death, causing her to awaken some abilities that did not belong to her. "

Blake pointed to his eyes and said:

"She can see a person's sins with her eyes just like those sinners. I'm curious. Didn't Zlali say something strange to you when you rescued her from the devil?

Like tell me your sins or something like that. "

"Well"

Zella hesitated.

The Mother of Holy Light let her light body rotate slowly, and in the song shrouded in holy light, she whispered:

"Indeed, when I released my ancient people from their demonic prisons, she accused me of 'hypocrisy and ignorance,' using foul language that no naaru should ever utter.

It is said that I distorted the morality of the Holy Light, blindly followed the arrangement of fate, and caused terrible deaths in the material stars in the name of salvation.

I thought she was just infected by the evil force and hallucinating. "

"This is no hallucination."

The pirate laughed in an odd tone.

He stepped forward, reached out and pinched the chain of holy light that trapped the ancestor Naruzlali, and crushed it into a stream of light flying across the sky amid the surge of purple-black power.

The moment the crazy Naaru escaped from the trap, he used strong holy light to turn into a long whip to restrain the pirates in front of him, and lifted Black in front of him amidst Zela's exclamation.

"Zlali, no!"

Zella tried to stop it.

But she saw Blake raising his hand to her, signaling her not to be afraid.

The pirate didn't care that he was bound by the scorching hot holy light. He stared at the ancestor Naaru who exuded an unstable aura in front of him. He whispered:

"Look at you, poor guy.

Look at the terrible torture you suffered under the red abyss of Castle Nathria, and look at the scars on your body of light cut by the cruel telepathic blades of the Venthyr.

Those bastards even wrote words of shame on you

Well, if my Venthyr language is still good enough, the words of advice carved on your shoulder should be translated as the curse of 'one gram of sin, ten thousand years to pay off', right? "

"No! Mention it! That place!!!"

Blake's words obviously stimulated the pain points of the ancestor Naaru who had many scars on her body. She scolded in a changed voice:

"You! The son of sin walking in the material world! The emperor's bastard! You deserve to die!"

"Zilali! As a Naaru, you can't talk like that."

Zeira heard her compatriots say vulgar words again, and she couldn't help but remind:

"What we represent is the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, and you should"

"Zera, shut up! You don't know anything at all. You are chattering like those damn Kyrians, which makes me tired.

I was talking to the dog thief in the other world. I stood there quietly and listened attentively!

This is a conspiracy!

Everything you are doing now is a conspiracy!

You can't save anything, you can't save anyone, and the harder you try, the closer you are to disaster. "

Zlali yelled at Zella. This strange state made the Mother of Light immediately realize that the terms she had never heard of between her compatriots and Black were not imaginary.

"Well, I think before we start discussing things about the Emperor, you should at least tell your compatriots the ins and outs."

Black, who was bound by the holy light in the air, not only was not angry, but instead reminded the angry Naru in front of him with interest:

"I should have told Zella these secrets, but I told her twice and she didn't believe it. I have no choice but to let you persuade this stubborn compatriot of yours.

Come on, we still have some time.

Tell her about the war between the Naaru Legion and Revendreth, the misery of being trapped in the Shadow Realm, and everything you know about the Emperor's conspiracy.

I'll add more after you finish. "

"Shut up! Denathius's bitch, you have no place to speak here!"

Zilali shouted at the pirate, and Black stretched out his hand to his mouth and made a zipper motion to indicate that he would shut up immediately, and then stretched out his hand to make a "please" motion to her.

And seeing the two people in front of her who were supposed to have nothing to do with each other and started to fight so fiercely as soon as they met, Zella suddenly felt that she might learn a big secret today.

This made the Mother of Holy Light, who had always obeyed fate and was proud of it, feel a faint sense of panic.

But Zilali, who had just escaped from captivity, did not give Zela more time to calm down. She shouted:

"I am not imprisoned by demons, my ignorant compatriots. For countless epochs in the past, I have been trapped on the other side of the veil of life and death. You should have heard of its name in the bizarre legends of the Holy Light Realm.

The Shadow Realm, the Land Beyond, the Realm of the Dead, etc., those are its names.

Ancestor Naaru like you should also know that in a very distant era, there was a war between the Force of Holy Light and the Force of Death, and I was the only survivor of that war. "

"Are you talking about the 'Naaru Expedition' millions of years ago?"

Zeira reacted immediately, and the Mother of Holy Light exclaimed:

“When that expedition happened, I was preaching the gospel of the Holy Light in a distant galaxy. I just heard that many Naaru left the Holy Light realm, but they never came back.

Why did you go to that other world? "

"Because of provocation!"

Zlali was immersed in distant memories. She looked at the stars in the material world in the way Naaru saw. The stars were completely different from what she remembered.

She said in a low voice:

"An Eternal in the Death Force created evil beings who used disguised villains to infiltrate the realms of the Force, spy on us and lure our spawn to corruption.

You should probably guess what kind of life I'm talking about.

Their disguise is very evil. If they were not discovered by us because their activities were too rampant, the balance of the six forces would probably be broken at that time.

In short, our compatriots believed that this was a 'humiliation' to the Holy Light, and the several ancestors Naaru summoned their compatriots to launch a disciplinary war against the world of death under the angry will of the Holy Light.

We cross the veil of life and death into the world of the Eternal One, and fight His evil brethren on the land of death.

We rained light down in that dark place, destroying the palaces and towers that symbolized sin, and let the fire of the Holy Light still burn brightly in that dark place to this day.

This is not bellicose, Zella.

We just have to let the Light touch that realm of sin and let Death take its place.

But the war is tragic, and the power of the Eternal One is unfathomable. After successive failures in the early stages, He ordered His servants to create stone descendants against us.

we lose.

All my compatriots are buried in that world of death, except me.

My fragments were collected by the evil ones and put back together again.

They imprisoned me in the most secretive cage in the world of death, tortured me, and extracted my power for research. I noticed before that there are spies sent by them in your legion.

It seems that their evil research has achieved results, and their creations can deceive the gaze of the Holy Light.

Your Legion is not pure enough, Zera, and you have made a terrible mistake. "

"You mean Nasrezim?"

Zella said in shock:

"The spy you are talking about refers to Loxaxon? How is this possible? The Dread Lord who converted to the Holy Light claimed that he was guided by fate.

I've checked it myself and he does have the thread of destiny on him. "

"Ahem, about that."

Blake, who had been silent all this time, now answered:

"The void affects everything, my dear Zella.

I met a Dual Realm Walker in Mac'Aree before, and he told me that he once encountered a Dreadlord in the Twisting Nether. He killed it, sensed the waves of fate, and resurrected it again.

The upheaval in fate you feel may come from that little 'accident'.

You see, Losaxon died suddenly before Zlali could escape from the trap, or died of a clumsy evil energy explosion. This was an accidental 'suspended death' no matter how you look at it.

It's obviously taking advantage of the trust between beings of the Light not to doubt each other, what a cunning bastard. "

Zella fell silent.

The Mother of Light does not think that Zlali and Black have joined forces to deceive her, and what Zlali told her can be traced in the Holy Light Realm.

"I was arranged to meet you, Zella!"

Zlali continued:

"I was locked in the red abyss with no way to escape. Not long ago, suddenly one day, I was transferred out of the cage of the Eternal One, and escorted by His servants, I crossed the curtain of life and death and returned to the material world.

They placed me in this demonic stronghold, and I thought they were going to execute me, or make a deal with the evil forces to kill me. But I didn't wait a few days before I met you at the temple and rescued me.

This is all arranged!

Zella.

It's all arranged.

I don't know what the cunning Emperor Eternal wants me to do, but I feel like I can't follow His will.

I must leave you!

I have to get away from it all.

And the destiny you believe in, you idiot! Everything you see during the Great Order of Light and Darkness originates from the conspiracy woven by the Eternal Ones on the other side of the veil of life and death.

He makes you firmly believe that there is a predetermined ‘son of destiny’ in this world, who can use his hands to end all disasters and wars.

So you are full of hope for this ending that meets the expectations of the Holy Light. Fate has given you the courage to persist until now, allowing you to form the Holy Light Legion to pave the way for the birth of the Son of Light and Darkness.

But the more you persist, the more wars and deaths will occur because of you.”

"No! The Holy Light Legion is here to save those innocent people in the sea of ​​​​stars where demons are raging!"

Zeira retorted:

"Although I know that I occasionally use some methods that I think are good, and I am indeed a bit arbitrary, it is precisely because of the existence of the Holy Light Legion that so many worlds that should have been destroyed have left the spark of rebirth!

I don't think I did anything wrong. "

"Well, let me remind you again, Zeira. It is true to resist the tyranny of the devil, but what if your resistance itself is part of this conspiracy?

Would you be surprised if I told you that even the fact that Lord Sargeras witnessed the disaster of the void corroding the material world was arranged? "

Blake, who was bound in the air, quietly interjected:

"The time span of the conspiracy Zlali mentioned is far beyond your imagination. Their black hands are everywhere in the stars, and you are not the only victim.

The conspirator cleverly took advantage of the conflict between the expansion of the void and the order of the material world, making the original Bronze Titan aware of the threat of the void. It then sent its own evil servants to assist Sargeras in establishing the Burning Legion and began to destroy the Pantheon and cleanse the entire universe.

Everyone who survived the Burning Crusade has heard this story, but didn't you see a problem? "

Blake asked rhetorically:

“As the supreme creations of the arcane force, the Titans value order the most. Lord Sargeras, the leader among them, fell from a noble defender to a brutal destroyer almost overnight.

He jumped from one extreme to another with almost no change in the middle. What kind of information did He receive that caused Him to change so drastically?

I know you don't believe my guess.

Then I might as well tell you that Lord Sargeras initially heard all the evil intentions about the void realm from a group of nathrezim who were captured by him and were suspected of being loyal to the void.

Just now Zlali told you, whose servant is Nasrezim?

Voila, the logical chain is complete.

I once told you that the fate you saw was just a part of a grand conspiracy. You didn't believe me. Now that your compatriots have come forward to speak out, if you still don't believe it, then you are really hopeless. "

The pirate sighed, looked at the stars in front of him, and said:

"The Emperor's conspiracy has advanced to the final stage. Under his control, the stars in the entire material world have been in chaos, and the balance of the six forces is in danger.

Under the merciless slaughter of the Burning Legion, too many deaths were sent to the other world, causing the death force to expand rapidly, and it was about to crush the entire cycle.

Now it's just a matter of time.

And I can tell you clearly, it’s in Argus! In the upcoming war in this world, the door to the era of chaos will be opened.

Whether you are willing or not, you have to enter an era where the Force is out of balance, death is rampant, everything is desolate, and there is no hope anymore. "

"you!"

At this moment, when Black made his dark prophecy, Zella and Zilali shouted at the same time:

"Why do you know His plan so clearly? Why are you so sure of all this?"

"ah"

Faced with the two naaru's questions, the pirate shrugged.

He easily broke free from the shackles of Zlali's holy light, suspended in the air as a shadow of darkness, and with a gentle pull, a blood-red sinful power gathered into a small dagger in his hand, flying around like a butterfly. go.

He said to Zeira:

"Didn't Zlali just say that? I am the emperor's lackey in the material world. So, let's get to know each other again, you two.

I am the next legal ruler of Revendreth, the ‘Prince of Sin’ personally canonized by the Great Emperor, and also His most powerful and loyal servant in the material world.

Oh, by the way, Ms. Zlali, you don’t have to worry about what other arrangements the Emperor has for you. A big man like Him doesn’t have time to pay attention to a crazy Naaru. "

"Huh?"

The crazy and sinful Naaru said doubtfully:

"How can you confirm this?"

"Nonsense, because I arranged your escape."

The pirate rolled his eyes and said:

“It’s all leading up to this moment.”
