Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1858 84. You may be the victim of the genuine prophecy, Your Majesty Azshara [Additional update 1420]

The familiar world is about to fall apart, and the expressionless Queen Azshara witnesses it all.

She was in the last palace wall of her gorgeous palace. This was the only place in Zin-Azshari that had not been invaded during last night's chaos.

This used to be her favorite royal garden, and there was also an observatory standing here. It was originally a quiet place that shouldn't be disturbed by too many people, but now it was full of panicked people everywhere.

The once noble and elegant upper elves gathered here, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear.

They are Queen Azshara's last loyalists and did not participate in Dath'Remar Sunstrider's rebellion, nor have anything to do with Ravencrest's resistance.

They regard the Queen as their eternal master and do not judge the Queen's actions in terms of good and evil.

Even when everyone started to raise their swords and guns towards the Queen, they still stood by Azshara's side.

They believe in the Queen's promise of a perfect world that only the upper elves can enjoy, and like their Queen, they don't care what price others will pay for this perfect world.

They are also a group of people who have seen the whole process of how the Queen's empire collapsed.

The civilians, led by the Moon Priests, rushed into the palace and joined forces with Dath'Remar's shameless rebels. With the help of the dragon, they defeated the Queen's servants and sent vicious assassins to try to assassinate the Supreme Light of Light. .

But even so, even after witnessing the last night of the Elf Empire, they still believed that their queen could lead them out of this desperate situation.

Azshara is the great light of light, and they are the people of the light.

There is only that blooming light in their eyes, and apart from that, the world is meaningless to them.

If foolish loyalty is a virtue, then these guys will definitely have a place in the elves' paradise after death.

But Azshara knew better.

She couldn't save her remaining people.

The chain reaction of the Well of Eternity explosion has been pushed to the final moment.

That terrifying energy is about to explode, and Zin-Azsali will be the first to be hit. This rich and ancient land will usher in its end today.

With the help of the remaining perception of the Well of Eternity, the Queen did not need any prophecy to guess what would happen next. The continental shelf would collapse, and the entire ancient Kalimdor continent would begin to fall apart from where she was.

The world will undergo a radical change today, which will be the end of the old era and the birth of the new era, and she, she is the last person to die in the old era.

This is very sad.

But Azshara's mood at this moment was unusually calm.

She was even so calm that she didn't look like a person who was about to face the end. She had revealed her heart to her peers before. She knew that she had done something terrible wrong, and the doomsday that was about to break out in front of her was her judgment and punishment.

She is an adult.

She had also been wise and brave, and she knew that this matter could not have a happy ending, and someone had to bear the price for what was about to happen.

And she paid this price.

"Isn't Vashj back yet?"

The Queen looked towards the direction of the out-of-control Well of Eternity. What was once a godsend was now only a desolate pit. The water containing endless mysteries had long evaporated and been absorbed by the passage set up by the blue dragons. Into the world's magic network.

But she could see more.

Under the crack in the ground, close to the continental shelf, a chaotic magic power is forming the core of a storm sweeping the world. It is no longer an ordinary violet magic power, it has turned into a weird gray-white color, and there is a ray of purple light in it. Bursting out like a bomb about to explode.

Time is running out for the old world.

Facing the Queen's inquiry, several embarrassed maids beside her looked at each other and whispered:

"There has been no news from Vashj since last night. She may have died in the chaos, or she may have escaped."

"Escaped?"

Azshara shook her head:

"It's good to run away. At least you can save one life and won't be buried with me."

"His Majesty!"

Several maids panicked when they heard this.

Although they felt that something terrible was about to happen, they would not be so afraid when they saw the Queen's figure.

In their understanding, which is almost a belief, Her Majesty Azshara is omnipotent, and even the disaster that destroys the world is just a small scene of gentle breeze and drizzle in front of the Queen.

She can talk and laugh with the gods among the stars, and take the terrifying demons into her own hands. Nothing in this world can be difficult for the queen.

But now, it seems that even Her Majesty the Queen herself has fallen into despair.

What should I do?

Several maids looked at each other. They wanted to persuade but they didn't understand the Queen's thoughts as well as Vashj. They were afraid that they would be punished by the Queen if they said the wrong thing.

Their concerns were also sensed by Azshara, but she made no response.

Those amber eyes were full of thinking, and their calmness and depth were as if Azshara had returned to the beautiful era when she once led the rise of the Elven Empire with supreme wisdom.

She was thinking about the two prophecies left by the prophet in black.

She and her people will suffer in a desperate situation, experiencing endless nightmares in the darkness until the distant dawn.

She could rebuild her empire if she survived.

These two prophecies seemed to symbolize a gloomy future, but with Azshara's intelligence, it was not difficult for her to discover that there were prerequisites for the two prophecies to take effect.

She and her people must survive the imminent danger, and they must survive to have a future.

If she gave up here and allowed the energy of the Well of Eternity explosion to sweep across the ruins, then even she would die miserably in the catastrophe.

So, the real prophecy of the black prophet actually implies that she, a miserable loser, must find a way to survive?

And the advice of the panda man Shaohao.

An emperor can make mistakes and fail, but he must take responsibility for his people.

But he has lost his empire.

Azshara turned back suddenly at this moment.

She looked at the frightened upper elves behind her. They seemed to sense the disaster and wanted to get closer to their queen, but Azshara's guards were blocking them.

"Let them come over!"

The Queen spoke.

The guards hesitated for a moment, and then dispersed under the scolding of Ms. Shivala, the commander of the demon swordsmen who was covered in blood. A group of embarrassed upper elves rushed onto the platform. They knelt down in front of the queen and begged Azshara to save them. .

At the last moment of this disaster, they did not ask for help from the ancient elves' beliefs. Perhaps in their hearts, Azshara had already surpassed Elune's god.

This somewhat made the Queen feel a little bit of comfort in her tortured mind at this time.

Extremely arrogant, she bent down under the gaze of people and looked at a little upper elf girl who had lost her parents. She looked at the crying and fearful little girl with her amber eyes.

She said hoarsely:

"Child, how did you get here?"

"Mom. Mom sent me here."

The little girl was afraid of the Queen's majesty and wanted to salute as her parents taught her, but Azshara stopped her. The Queen looked at her and encouraged her with her eyes to finish.

The little girl wiped her tears and said intermittently:

"But dad is trapped in the room. Those night elves are so scary. They burned our home. Mom went to save dad, but she hasn't come back yet. Your Majesty, you are omnipotent.

Can you save them? "

"I"

Azshara stroked the little girl's messy hair.

She wanted to tell this little girl that she couldn't save the dead, but looking at those eyes full of expectation, the queen clenched her fists.

The sheer expectation of being relied upon made her feel pressure, even comparable to the pressure she felt during her arrogant conversations with the Dark Titan.

But this kind of pressure is reassuring, like a kite floating among the stars in the sky, there is still a thread tied to her body when she doesn't know where she is going.

The queen picked up the helpless little girl. She looked at the people in front of her and looked at the expectant eyes.

She lost her empire.

But that doesn't matter.

She also has her own people.

"Open the barrier!"

The queen took a deep breath and issued an order to the commander-in-chief Xivara and her ministers in front of her. The order came so suddenly that they did not react.

But the next moment, the Queen scolded in a familiar cold tone:

"What are you still doing?

The passage of the Magic Network has been opened, connecting the magic hub of this palace to the World Magic Network. The power of the big explosion cannot be resisted by ordinary people, but the connection with the World Magic Network is enough to temporarily construct a shield that is not weaker than the Well of Eternity.

The annoying blue dragon is in no mood to restrict our use of the magic web now.

The big bang won't destroy us, we will survive.

We will have hard times, my people, but we will rebuild our empire. It's just a failure. Hold your heads up, Highborne!

Remember your dignity and your identity.

That's the only thing we have left. "

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Ms. Sivana, the commander of the magic swordsmen who was trembling all over, was the first to shout.

She was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

She could feel that the familiar supreme Azshara was back!

At this moment, their queen who could make the entire empire and even the world bow to her was back!

She was no longer the kneeler praying to the stars and gods for strength. The long-lost queen finally raised her head again. Under the punches and kicks of the commander, the ministers and court mages immediately took action.

Thanks to the strengthening and shaping of the Well of Eternity, almost all the high-class elves under the Queen's command were spellcasters, and they spontaneously ran to help. In less than ten minutes, the Queen's instructions were completed.

At the moment when the palace node of this royal garden was connected to the opened world magic network, a powerful magic power surged out from under the palace, and a barrier as thick as a city wall was propped up.

But the moment Azshara picked up the tidal scepter handed by the maid, the out-of-control Well of Eternity could no longer support it. In a burst of white light that penetrated the sky and the earth, the entire world collapsed at this moment.

The magic barrier and the terrifying energy collision offset each other. Thanks to the opening of the World Magic Network, they had no shortage of magic power supply. In addition, Azshara personally took charge of controlling the magic power with the Tide Scepter. This was the last palace of the upper elves. It was thrown up high like leaves in the strong wind, and then was smashed down by the power that changed the world.

Just in the blink of an eye, the sea has changed, and the familiar land is no longer there. As the palace falls down, the elves see the tumbling tide of the world rolling in anger, and everywhere they see is the surging tide.

It's like a nonsensical flood destroying the world, with nowhere to escape!

Azshara could vaguely see a strange oak tree screaming and being sucked into the tide, but she was unable to pay more attention to it. She could feel the pressure of the entire ocean pressing on her.

The most powerful woman in the world was almost single-handedly fighting against the malice of a disintegrated world against her, a sinner. She felt tired, painful, and unbearable.

Drops of blood burst out from the Queen's nostrils and ears, causing the maid next to her to scream.

But Azshara knew she couldn't fall.

Behind her are the last of her own people, and she is their last hope.

If she gives up, she has nothing.

"His Majesty!"

A familiar call sounded behind the queen, and Vashj, wearing a ragged long dress, rushed out of the crowd. The royal maid's skin was covered with strange bruises.

Her skirt was covered in blood, and she was so embarrassed that she no longer looked as elegant and proud as before.

She rushed to Azshara's side and devoted her magic to her majesty with all her strength.

Even if it is a drop in the bucket.

This move made other elves react. They rushed up to surround the queen and offered their magic power. Azshara, who was holding the moon in front of the stars, persisted until the tide stabilized a little, and then the queen relaxed. The moment he spoke, a strange energy erupted from the bottom of the sea, turning into a huge wave and completely shattering the already dilapidated barrier with a bang.

"No!"

In Azshara's desperate cry, her palace, her people, everything she had left fell apart at this moment, and she was also swept into the icy water.

It was like a drowned corpse, just letting its body float down under the rolling water.

She could see the pale light reflected on the sea, which seemed to represent her final outcome.

She tried hard.

She failed.

"fraud!"

At the moment when she was about to fall into unconsciousness, Azshara cursed the man in black who had given her her last hope.

In the chaos, she saw her people squeezing their necks in the sea water, and the little girl stretched out her hand towards her in the water in pain.

Even at the last moment, they were still expecting their queen to save them.

"Proud Queen."

In the dark abyss, a sneaky voice emerged in Azshara's mind like a dream echo, causing her to open her eyes suddenly. In the pain of suffocation in her lungs, the queen opened her eyes and saw what was hovering in front of her. Weird sea fish in the water.

The latter's eyes reflected a strange light, seeming to be the carrier of some dark power.

She didn't need to think too much to know that this must be an invitation sent to her by some unknown monster. Without much hesitation, she reached out her hand and touched the forehead of the sea fish.

"servant?"

Knowing the other party's intention, Azshara immediately sneered and said in her heart:

"Whatever you want, I have only one request. My people! Not even one of them!"

The next moment, a dark and twisted force erupted from the abyss.

Like invisible thorns all over this rolling sea, it wraps around Azshara's perfect body, full of obscene and depraved colors.

But the Queen did not resist, but allowed that power to distort her life form, turning herself into a monster that could survive in the deep sea.

In this last look back in human form, she saw the loyal maids swimming towards her with difficulty behind her, and also saw the little girl who was about to die.

She smiled at her and said with encouraging eyes:

"Don't be afraid, your queen will protect you."

"Even if you turn into a monster"

The darkness will eventually pass, and dawn will come. At the moment when the prophecy of suffering is revealed, and at the moment when she fully embraces the sea of ​​darkness, Azshara gives up all struggles, and just merges into the dark abyss under the pull of the strange black shadow. .

She looked up for the last time at the sea reflecting the ruthless light.

She said in her heart:

Black prophet who brings hope, you promised me.

See you again in ten thousand years.
