Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The perspective shifts to the Temple of Storms high on the island in Stormsong Strait.

After "sending away" the vision of the cynical and arrogant Queen Azshara, Lord Stormsong did not sit still.

Although he did not believe that the bastards who secretly destroyed the great situation of the Church of Storms were capable of attacking here, as a senior cultist, he quickly started the preparations he had made secretly for so many years.

First, he used the magic power given by the two abyss sacred objects, the Storm Summoner Crown and the Void Stone, to summon the Abyss Evil God sleeping in the bottomless abyss, N'Zoth's "pet", and the giant octopus monster Erzumat.

This thing was the culprit that was commanded by the Sea Sage to destroy the Watcher's ship in the storm, causing a large number of Watchers to fall into the sea and disappear.

Although it was loved by the power of the void and its flesh and blood was modified, its appearance did not undergo many "mutations". Its body was just a large dark brown octopus.

The head is covered with thick flesh and horn, and there are many pairs of vicious and cold compound eyes.

The only characteristic of this octopus monster that sleeps in the abyss of the material world and often sleeps for hundreds of years is its size.

Its size is so huge that when it is summoned to the sea area of ​​​​the Temple of Storms, it will cause the sea level in the vicinity to rise significantly.

Its body is hiding on the bottom of the sea, and its tentacles extend out of the sea like pillars stretching to the sky and the earth growing out of the water, completely blocking the islands and reefs on the edge of the island.

The existence of Ozumat is N'Zoth's masterpiece of the corrosive power of all things.

It can be regarded as the pinnacle work of "biological modification" in the dark place of Ny'alotha, the sleeping city. Such a sea area infested by a sea monster is a nightmare that all sailors avoid.

Moreover, Ozumat has appeared more than once in past history. Many bizarre legends describing sea monsters in the Endless Sea are actually telling the story of this giant octopus.

It is said that the destruction of the Gurubashi Empire by the trolls in Stranglethorn Valley had some unclear relationship with this giant octopus.

With it cruising near the Temple of Storms, it basically eliminated all possibilities for the enemy to attack the Temple of Storms from the sea, but Lord Stormsong still felt unsatisfied.

He is not an arrogant fool.

From Queen Azshara's sarcastic words before leaving, the Lord sensed some bad omens.

"The thousand-year mass of the dark god cannot be disturbed, and the glorious sacrifice must begin immediately! The sleeping city will eventually wake up, and the dark door is close at hand.

Just one step away.

last step! "

Lord Stormsong grabbed the magic power of the Void Stone in the Tidal Hall, followed the path of divine power given by N'Zoth, and poured it into a certain rift above the material world.

He recited a hymn in a strange tone and looked towards the direction of the Sage's Fortress on the desperate sea front filled with darkness.

In the continuous infusion of void, the pace of the Krasis War Messenger that Blake had seen was bound between the material world and the void plane accelerated in vain.

But the Light shines there too.

This made the dark eyes on the Lord's octopus face shine with a strong murderous intention. It was because of the interference of the nosy Holy Light Church that the matter reached the current irreversible choice.

Originally, as long as Dai Lin was seduced, the rule of the Church of Storms in Kul Tiras could come to the fore from behind the scenes. This prosperous and powerful ocean nation could also naturally become the first cornerstone for the reconstruction of the Dark Empire in this era.

It is also the most stable cornerstone.

But because of Faao's hopeless sense of justice and cheap sympathy, all of this has become a mirror image.

Although the results of peaceful transition and violent seizure are not much different for cults like the Church of Storms, what they and their dark masters need is not population or prosperity.

But the fact that many years of planning was ruined in one fell swoop still made the Lord very unhappy.

The biggest disadvantage of degenerating into cultists is that the concept of "restraint" basically does not exist in the chaotic minds of these guys who have been impacted by the void.

In the past, in order to hide and seize power, he might have suppressed his inner desire to destroy the world and dedicate the dark ruins to the void, but now, it has been exposed anyway.

What a fart!

"Holy Light! Haha, miserable Holy Light, false kindness, exaggerated dogma, pale justice."

The Lord looked at the battle between the shining Holy Light and the Void Forward in the Stormsong Mountains. Although he no longer had ears, he could listen more clearly.

He heard the angry roar of General Krasis who was summoned to the material world. The vanguard of the void war and the destroyer of order were blocked by the difficult servants of the Holy Light.

It is calling for support from its fellow void brethren.

"Here you go, give them all, eat them, crush them."

The Lord hunched over Kesir's alienated body, constantly extracting the corrupted energy from the abyssal holy object, the Void Stone, and pouring it into the void crack at hand.

Use this "remote support" method to make your Void General stronger and more ruthless.

He did not hide the malice in his heart at all, using a voice like a coward's whisper, urging and expecting in a dry and stiff tone:

"Don't waste too much time on them. The Forge of Storms is already in operation, the borders of the material world are being destroyed, and the gates of Ny'alotha are coming to this world and opening.

The dark gods have sent down an oracle.

Just today!

杀了他们！把他们的尸体带回尼奥罗萨，在无用之躯被纯洁虚空玷污的时刻，就连圣光也会落泪。 "

This voice is full of hatred and ridiculous, obviously mocking the unprepared force of the Holy Light Church.

或许这些铁罐子们在自己的地盘上可以匹敌死亡之翼那样的灭世者，但这里可是库尔提拉斯！ This is the land of the God of Darkness.

Haha, you are seeking your own death.

“斯托颂斯托颂.”

The call that echoed strangely in the Tide Hall interrupted Lord Stormsong's continued focus on "private grudges".

那章鱼脸上的触须抖动几丝，待回过头时，这佝偻身体的克熙尔便恢复了一名资深邪教徒应有的阴霾和沉默。

In the face of the tidal statue, his posture became humbled.

眼前的神像之上浮动起道道晦暗的涟漪，并未有魔法影像的回荡，依稀只能听到那混杂着古老萨拉斯语和虚空语的怪异声响。

与他对话的似乎是一头深海之下的纳迦，理论上应该是艾萨拉女皇的仆从，但勋爵在面对它时的姿态，却要比面对艾萨拉女皇更谦卑。

It was as if the depraved and beautiful queen was just a collaborator with ulterior motives in front of the Lord, and the voice in front of him was more like his real superior.

“尊贵的虚空先驱，祂坚定的仆从们等待着黑暗之神的旨意。”

"Storsong, the souls and flesh collected in the past are being eaten by the Storm Furnace, the uneasy contract has been lowered, the connection between the master and the material world is reestablished, and Ny'alotha is opening its door.

But to fully call for His coming requires more flesh and tainted souls as fuel.

You have to speed up. "

The voice known as the "Herald of the Void" urged:

"His eyes have stared at you, and I will use this power to give you deeper strength. You will look directly at this absurd world as His eyes.

He is longing to come back here, and you must satisfy His desire. "

"It's my pleasure, Herald."

Lord Stormsong's whole body trembled with excitement, and he opened his twisted arms and answered loudly:

"Let me be His eyes, and I will dedicate the fall of Kul Tiras as a tribute to Him. The warriors I promised to the Great Master are on their way.

Daelin Proudmoore, the most powerful warrior and commander in the world, the king of thousands of flesh and blood will enter the dark temple of his master.

His body will become the enemy-defeating general of the Dark Empire! His soul will become his master's prisoner's plaything.

This will definitely satisfy the owner.

And this is just the first step. Dailin's daughters, the daughter of the sea, Jaina, have magical talents that rival Azshara, and the eldest daughter of the sea, Finna Golden Sword, exudes the smell of the enemy of the void.

I can't smell it wrong.

One daughter will be the master's most powerful preacher of corruption, while the other daughter will serve as a sweet feast for the master when he escapes. "

"very good!"

The mysterious figure named the Herald of the Void is obviously very satisfied with Lord Stormsong's plan, or it may be that it doesn't care at all about this surname and family that are extremely prominent in the mortal world.

Any life that is beneficial to the owner can become their companion.

It's nothing more than a "promotion" in flesh and blood form.

"Storsong, come on, come forward, accept the gift of the Master, and become His eyes."

The Herald called, and when the Lord stepped forward, a pure, restrained and huge void energy poured out from the crack in front of him, blessing the Lord's void body like energy infusion.

This is an unbearable burden for any normal life.

With the almost substantial blessing of void energy, even an adult dragon will be corroded into a twisted monster in an instant. But for a senior cultist like Lord, such a pure blessing of void can only be said to be nothing. A supreme enjoyment.

In this dark place that has been infiltrated by the power of the void for hundreds of years, while his body was lifted into the air by the strengthening of the void, his polluted spirit was also able to escape into another dimension.

There he accepts the "reward" from the dark master to whom he is loyal.

The process was like entering the "heaven" of all cultists. His mind floated to the sky, and everywhere he looked was a black city.

Countless obelisks are suspended on a high pyramid-like platform in a fantastic manner, and their scattered arrangement reveals a phantom that is quite religious and mysterious.

Outside every obelisk there is a powerful Krasis guarding the place, and under every obelisk lies the coffin of a void warrior.

There is a shining light beyond those secret monuments.

The dim, psychedelic light is spinning tirelessly around the city like magma. It is an immortal turbid current composed of the creations of the abyss. They are roaring and chanting.

And above the sky, at the end of this fallen city called Ny'alotha, there is a ray of sunlight burning at the end of the sky, like the morning light of dawn.

But it contains no trace of holiness.

That is the glory of corruption. Only believers who truly believe in the corruption of all things can glimpse the majesty of this corrupt heart.

Bathed in the glory of darkness, His deep and powerful call will ring in your ears. It is like the voices of thousands of people superimposed into a sound that goes straight into the soul, making people want to kneel down and sing.

这不是斯托颂勋爵的灵魂第一次进入尼奥罗萨·沉睡之城，但这绝对是他最深入这座城市的经历。

他甚至听到了恩佐斯在亲自对他说话。

他努力的倾听着，想要听懂黑暗之神的神谕，他非常着迷的想要听的更加清楚，但很快，一声怪异的尖啸将勋爵从这种觐见堕落的“神圣”中惊醒。

躯体还悬浮于潮汐大厅半空中，接受来自虚空力量灌注的勋爵感知到了能量的冲撞，他睁开眼睛便看到岛屿下方的蓝色光弧如重拳锤击。

只用了一次轰击，就在大海的咆哮中将风暴神殿上方的潮汐结界轻松毁去，而强大的深渊邪神厄祖玛特这发出了低沉的痛呼。

一艘缠满了断裂触手的黑色幽灵船在怒海中逃窜，就像是做了坏事的熊孩子，溜的比谁都快。

恩佐斯在对他警醒，危险将至！

Not down there, idiot!

above!

于是，勋爵仰起头，潮汐大厅厚重的石壁阻拦不了他被虚空强化的视线，他看到了黑夜的尽头，他看到了那正悬浮于黑云之上天际的怪异机械。

他甚至看到了机械上拍手欢庆的侏儒，以及那个坐在驾驶舱里，嘴角带着冷傲讥讽笑容的臭海盗。

His lordship had never even met him.

但这个海盗的笑容却给了他一种大祸临头的感觉

然后，他看到了红色的光。

在一枚快速坠落到神殿上方的钢铁球体的表面跳动的红光，那节奏有序闪耀的红光似乎预兆着某种暴躁的毁灭即将到来。

能量在涌动！

Within the solid shell of the ball, an energy that made Lord's hair stand on end was rushing rapidly, like someone lighting up a flame in a warehouse filled with gunpowder.

"boom"

The irritable energy burst.

There are weird sparks similar to the power of creation in the fierce entanglement collision, and a sound of destruction is empty on the temple of the dark heart.

该怎么形容这道光呢？

sun

不，在邪教徒们眼中，这道光要比一千枚太阳更明亮更具毁灭性。

It did not even cause a larger explosion, like a mines exploded, but the fission beams that were subsequently generated like the tens of millions of light arrows running through the dark temple.

它像是冲击波一样扫过神殿中的每一个生命。

勋爵惨叫着举起双手。

He stood in front of him like a child who saw the flames. Even he felt the terrifying destruction that wiped out the creation of the void from the plane of existence, not to mention the other Hai Xians.

更惨的是，勋爵的意志还连接着尼奥罗萨·沉睡之城。

在勋爵仿佛要被融化一样的惨叫声中，还传出了“惨叫二重唱”。

植根于世界但高于世界的某个小小维度隐藏在那里的恩佐斯大人，刚刚在物质世界睁开自己无所不知的“眼睛”，迎面就是一道无比刺眼的光。

The magic of Qianxu disgustedly opened the hint of the shell and closed it again, and in the light that stimulated the eye pain, it was isolated from the "new eyes" that had just been given by himself but was burned.

这突如其来的痛苦让恩佐斯在自己的堕落之城中发出了低沉的怒吼，整个尼奥罗萨·沉睡之城都在颤动。

那虚空之音甚至穿越了囚笼，在这片起伏不休海面上回荡。

那不是能被凡人听懂的语言，但其中饱含的愤怒不需要耳朵都能体会。

如果非要转化一下，这会恩佐斯或许是在说：

“艹！哪个混蛋扔的闪光弹？来骗来偷袭我这个几百万岁的老古神！还有没有点公德心啊！现在的艾泽拉斯生命都这么嚣张了吗？

弄死你们啊！ "
