Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Temple of Storms is on fire.

Well, "fire" in the physical sense.

After the mechanical origin bomb was dropped by Blake and the two dwarfs, the entire island hill where the temple was located was shrouded in a blue-white light.

This bomb was designed by King Mechagon to be different from ordinary bombs.

It does not use physical explosions and impacts as its destructive power to hurt people, nor does it use destroying the enemy's existence as its first purpose. Although this thing can wipe out the life of a city in an instant, it is indeed designed to "save".

do not laugh!

This is a very serious topic.

This is the method used by King Mechagon to save and purify the lives that have been contaminated by the curse of flesh and blood into the purest and oldest iron and inorganic Titan lives.

The purpose of its explosion is not to kill, but to "awaken".

This awakening refers to simulating the fission of Titan energy and reactivating the Titan sequence in the flesh and blood life gene through beam bombardment.

Therefore, after the mechanical origin bomb exploded, it almost did not destroy any buildings in the Temple of Storms, and even the walls were not scratched.

The released fission beams scattered from high altitudes and instantly covered the entire Temple of Storms. Hai Xian and the Sea Knights who were roaming the outer layer for defense bore the brunt of the "energy bombardment".

In just an instant, the entire surface of the Temple of Storms was filled with scorching ashes, and the Sea Knights of Kesir and the Sea Knights who received the gift of the void seemed to be wiped away in an instant by an invisible hand.

It's almost as exciting as magic.

After all, when Blake used the character card to detect the mechanical homing bomb, the entry explained it very clearly:

This bomb has extra destructive power against void pollution, and the energy field formed when it explodes will exert a [high-energy purification] effect on all void pollution.

What is high-energy purification?

That's it.

And those lucky ones who were not on the surface at the time of the explosion could not escape. The shocking design of King Mechagon made the beam energy bombardment of the Origin Bomb extremely penetrating.

It explodes at an altitude of two hundred meters, and its beam can penetrate up to ten layers of walls and reach an underground chamber nearly a hundred meters deep.

The most craziest thing is that the mechanical homing bomb designed by King Mechagon could originally have an explosion radiation range as large as Boralus Port, and he indeed used the scope of the Nakul Tiras capital area as a reference to set parameters.

But Blake asked Prince Erazmin to modify the parameters of the explosion.

He reduced the blast radius of the Origin Bomb tenfold!

It's just that it is shrouded in the entire island where the Temple of Storms is located. As we all know, the reduction of the explosion range means that the destructive power of the unit density increases.

So, to sum up, the Temple of Storms is completely "popular".

However, this can actually be regarded as "mercy" in another sense. After all, under the bombardment of the mechanical source-returning beam, those sea sages who had been severely emptied were purified and perished in just an instant.

They can only feel a burst of burning heat, followed by a silent "returning to the source of purification".

They don't even feel much pain.

Under the explosion of returning to the source of purification, the most seriously injured was the evil giant octopus hiding in the sea around the Temple of Storms.

At the time of the explosion, the giant octopus Ozumat's huge body, which was still "pursuing" the Nagfar, attracted more "purifying shocks" to it.

The beam bombardment that penetrated the sea water made the Abyss Evil God with its tentacles cut off feel like it was thrown into a burning sun, and its flesh and blood filled with void energy was instantly scorched.

This terrible pain made the big octopus give up the Nagfar in an instant. Amid the violent cry of pain, it shook its tentacles that were already regenerating and rushed back into the dark deep sea without looking back.

It doesn't have much intelligence.

It doesn't want to respond to the dying prayers of those sea sages at all now. It just wants to escape from this "hell" filled with the energy of order that it hates.

And just less than ten seconds of purifying energy bombardment had already weakened this semi-god-level Void God, and the entire body shrunk in size out of thin air.

That is, like a gecko that cuts off its tail and is reborn, it discards the entire burned and incinerated skin for a difficult escape.

It's not that it's not powerful enough.

It's just that the stinky pirate's carefully prepared return-to-origin bomb is a "nemesis" when dealing with void creatures. The fact that it can escape despite the return-to-origin purification fully demonstrates the power of Erzumat.

But the escape of the big octopus Ozumat once made the evil-minded pirates very dissatisfied.

This was so different from the scenario where the enemy in his heart was tortured and died.

Just thinking about using a bomb to blow up the headquarters of the Church of Storms, and then thinking that today's bombing can kill at least two-thirds of the elite sea sages in Kul Tiras, the kind that physically crushes the enemy to the bone. The feeling of raising ashes is still very good.

"It's barely okay, just average."

Blake leaned on the driver's seat of the "Star Throne", while smoking his pipe, he hummed and said very Versailles:

"I can kill them all in one night with one knife, but that would be a waste of time. That's all, I forgive these bastards, and may their fallen souls be tortured in the light of purification."

"It's almost a massacre of the city. Do you still think it's normal?"

Kelsey Steelspark looked back at the expressionless Black with a horrified expression. The little dwarf agent now suspected that Black Shaw was a cold-blooded murderer.

In just a few minutes, the Church of Storms' long-standing foundation was shattered from its roots, and he was still not satisfied?

But if you think about it carefully, although the scene in front of you is terrifying, it is indeed a little less interesting than the big incident caused by Black in Dalaran.

"What I'm more curious about is the working principle of this origin bomb."

Oversbach next to him said with a puzzled look:

"Although I saw part of the blueprint in Mechagon, my engineering skills are not enough to understand it. What are these blue-white lights? Why can they cause such devastating damage to void creatures?"

"These are titan energies simulated with electrical energy and current. They are themselves a masterpiece of the power of order, and are inherently capable of super-powerful order purification effects."

Blake grabbed the joystick in front of him, made the "Star Throne" aircraft hover downward, and said casually:

"As for the super destructive power of this bomb against void creatures, in addition to simulating the frequency and nature of Titan energy, it is also because its design principle comes from a Titan-level world purification device.

Here I would like to criticize the Mechagon Kingdom’s poor innovation capabilities.

Although I don't know much about the specific design of engineering, I know that his bomb completely copied the principle of the world-destroying restart device left by the Titans.

That is the wisdom left behind by the Titans, a ' trump card ' personally designed by the guardian Mimiron who holds the power of wisdom to deal with world-class corrosion events.

Therefore, the killing effect of its downgraded version is certainly better. "

"I've heard you and Prince Erazmin talking about this before!"

Kelsey Steelspark was chewing gum. She looked at Blake and asked:

"You two are very sure, but is there really a terrible machine in this world that can destroy the world and then rebuild it? Although we dwarves believe in the power of engineering, the 'world-destroying device' sounds so magical. How terrible."

"It's not a world-destroying device! It's a 'world-destroying restart' device. It's important to pronounce the name correctly."

Blake corrected:

“That place is called the Forge of Origin.

Its duty is not to destroy the world, but to do so. After the bastards below accidentally released the ancient gods from their cages, the Titan's defense systems left in the world detected a corrosive intrusion.

As long as the world's corruption reaches a certain limit, the Titan City will send a message to the Pantheon, and Titan Observers will come to Azeroth to confirm the situation.

Once corrosion is confirmed, the origin furnace is activated.

The entire world, together with all civilizations and all life in it, will be formatted in an instant.

All the evil, the righteous, the beautiful and the ugly, everything you love and hate, everything in the world will lose its meaning in an instant.

The remaining nutrients after the formatting of this season's civilization will nourish the severely damaged soul of the world, trigger a new struggle for the birth of the four elements, and restart the next season's civilization in the war of elements.

No matter how beautiful or ugly it is, it has nothing to do with us anymore. "

When Blake finished speaking, the two little dwarfs next to him were dumbfounded.

Oversbach's eyes widened and he exclaimed:

"How do you know? By the way, you are a prophet. You know everything about the future, past and present."

"We must find the Forge of Origin!"

Kelsey, a little agent, had a more direct idea. She shouted:

"We have to secure that dangerous thing, we can't let that device activate."

"How are you going to protect it?"

The magic eye on Blake's shoulder glanced at her and said:

"Shout this secret so that all the cultists hiding around the world know the existence of the 'big baby'? Or do you think that with the current strength of the alliance, you are capable of protecting the furnace under the erosion of all evils?

Even if you bring the Luna Kingdom together, you don't have the ability to enter the Uldum Desert.

You can't even pass the first level left by the Titan Guardians.

So the best way to protect it is to shut up! "

The pirate patted Kelsey's small mouth, made a silent movement on her lips, and said:

"Keep what I tell you deep in your hearts, or forget it forever. But if Prince Erazmin returns to Gnomeregan with the dwarfs, you will all know this sooner or later.

So I won’t say it’s a spoiler.

But when some of you 'fearless', 'diggers' or 'handy' people want to look for it, remember to let me know in advance.

This thing is not an ordinary thing and cannot be played with casually.

Press one wrong button and the whole world is over.

I don't know what you are thinking, but I don't want to die without warning. "

The two dwarfs immediately looked at each other and said a name in unison:

"Bryan Bronzebeard!"

"right."

Blake pouted and said:

"That's him I'm talking about."

"boom"

A loud noise from the other side of the strait interrupted the conversation between Black and the dwarfs. The magic eyeball on the pirate's shoulder turned over, and he saw a shining golden arc burning and beating in the mountains of Stowe.

It was like half of the valley was on fire.

As the light shone, the haze covering the entire strait seemed to diminish a lot.

"The Pope has cleansed the land of evil spirits!"

The smelly pirate's eyes turned serious, and he immediately shouted to the dwarfs beside him:

"Send a signal to the Uncrowned One, the Watcher, the Hidden Passage and the Druids to cross the sea immediately! Come to the Temple of Storms to join us and start the next phase of the attack!"

"Huh? This isn't over yet?"

Kelsey exclaimed:

"Hasn't the Church of Storms been purified?"

"Finish?"

Blake showed a helpless expression, touched Kelsey's pink hair, and said:

"Well, if only things were as simple as you think, my poor little friend. The Church of Storms is just the flower of evil extending from the darkness of Kul Tiras to the surface. We burned away the flower, but the one beneath the surface The roots are still there.

To cut the weed, we need to remove the root.

I finally came back, but if I don’t turn this place upside down, how can I leave with satisfaction? "

"bass"

The smelly pirate stood up from the driver's seat, took out the sword and dagger from his waist, moved his body, and said to the dwarfs driving the aircraft:

"Go to the island next to it. There are the stairs of hell leading to the Furnace of Storms. Don't rush in. Use the Nagfar's flesh-purifying cannon to clear out the abyss creation from the outer layer.

The Hydrasian Legion will help us open and purify the way to the heart of the Crucible.

The simple part is over.

Next, it’s time to fight with real swords and guns. "

——

"Snapped"

On the edge of the island of the Church of Dead Silence, amidst the surging icy waves, the shining light in the sky dimmed, just like a rising sun slowly extinguishing.

As the death-filled smoke dissipated, a wretched figure, whose whole body was exuding heat-like smoke, crawled out of the sea bit by bit.

"What is this?"

Daelin Proudmoore breathed heavily. He almost drowned in the sea and lay on the beach, looking at the slowly extinguishing blue-white light above his head.

He felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if a strange force was about to burst out of his body. He felt a headache, and memories from the past to the present were pouring out.

Admiral Jean was normal one second, and then seemed to be back to a certain day in his youth the next.

He was suffering on both a physical and psychological level.

He only remembered that he was riding on his griffin, flying over the sea to the Island of the Church of Storms.

He remembered that he was filled with murderous intent.

Then, he saw the burst of light.

So bright.

So hot.

He remembered covering his eyes with his hands, but he could still see the burning heat escaping from between his fingers, and the light penetrated his body like a sharp arrow.

Then, his vision went dark, and when he woke up again, he had been washed to the coast by the sea.

fine

I don’t have amnesia, but why do I feel like this?

"Snapped"

A crisp sound sounded from Dai Lin's left arm.

He looked down and saw that the already strong muscles on his arms had actually expanded out of thin air, and the muscles that were as sharp as a knife and an ax suddenly burst his ceremonial armor.

How is this going?

The admiral stood up dizzily. Although his brain was in chaos under the impact, he had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.

Lord Stormsong and the Tide Sages.

It was they who killed their sons, and they also tried to lure themselves into the darkness, trying to bring trouble to their country with their own hands. They made themselves embarrassed in front of their children.

Unforgivable! ! !

"boom"

Dai Lin's anger turned into a substantial scarlet storm, blowing the sand and gravel on the beach at his feet. He narrowed his eyes, grabbed the Abyss Trident at hand, and held the Shield of Odin in his hand.

The Trident of the Abyss, which originally needed to be held with both hands, can now be held with one hand, and the shield-style Odin's Shield can be held just like a one-handed buckler.

I don't know if it's my imagination, but the shield seems to be more active in my hands.

Dai Lin didn't want to pay attention to these changes.

He stared intently at the extremely quiet top floor of the Temple of Storms.

He knew Lord Stormsong was there.

And what happens next is very simple.

kill!
