Rise of the blood elves

466 [The combination of the origin of order and the origin of void]

"That's right, an artifact. An artifact made with the heart of Y'Shaarj and the power of the seven demons. From now on, this land will never be threatened by these two." Angmar looked up at the senior Guardian Lai nodded quietly.

He had already had such a plan, but it was not so easy to implement.

In the current timeline, the Heart of Y'Shaarj, regarded as a holy object by the Mantid, is still intact and sealed in the underground palace of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.This heart of the ancient god, which makes the demon immortal and will eventually come back no matter what kind of blow it endures, is the main material for making artifacts.

Not only can the wielder of the artifact gain considerable power, but it may also gain the allegiance of a powerful race like the Mantid, at least some of whose most fervent believers will follow and pledge allegiance to the wielder of the artifact.Previously, Angmar had some suspicions about this when he had to incorporate the heart of Y'Shaarj from another derivative timeline into his body under the threat of the "Fallen One".

At that time, he very much hoped that with the heart of Y'shaarj, he could gain the allegiance of the Mantid. In this way, when he returned to the ancient timeline to face the "Fallen Ones", he would have an army that could not be ignored.

but

"Whoever obtains the Heart of Y'Shaarj will obtain the allegiance of the Mantid." Is this statement really accurate?

The key example that led to this understanding was what happened 1 years later when the fog of Pandaria lifted.War-mad and great orc Garrosh absorbed the heart of Y'Shaarj and gained the allegiance of the Klaxxi Champions.

Although there has been a lot of debate on the matter of "Garrosh completely controlled the Heart of Y'Shaarj, or was he corrupted by the Heart of Y'Shaarj in turn", there are sufficient examples from all sides, and the opposite side believes that if it weren't for Garrosh After being corrupted, how could the Mantid willingly serve him? After all, the Mantid is not stupid.

Angmar prefers a conjecture that is superior to both and can make all these arguments meaningless.

That is, it doesn't matter whether you have control or not.

As an echo of the dead ancient god Y'Shaarj, the Heart of Y'Shaarj inherited the fundamental will of the Void to corrupt the world that gave birth to the Titan's star soul.

The Void wants to corrupt the planet of Azeroth, which harbors the souls of the Titans, and bring about the ultimate agent to carry out the corruption in The Endless.

Originally, the native forces of Azeroth were a major obstacle standing in front of them.However, the Burning Legion exists.The fallen titan Sargeras, who had seen the corruption of the planet, paranoidly believed that only by completely destroying the corruption of the void before it reaches an end, could the great enemy of the universe be eliminated once and for all.Faced with the fact that the Dark Empire has fallen, the remnants of the Old Gods need to rely on local defense forces to contend with the Burning Legion.After all, if Sargeras destroyed Azeroth, his goal of corrupting it would be impossible.

Azeroth has therefore become a three-way competition.

The Old Gods, who are eager to restore the glory of the Dark Empire and promote corruption on the planet, can only lurk in the cracks between the native forces of Azeroth and the Burning Legion and wait for both sides to lose in the battle. This is the safest way.

And Garrosh, the war madman who is keen on using war to drive out the inferior races and let the orcs take charge of everything, is the best agent for this goal.Rather than saying that the Heart of Y'Shaarj is controlled by it, it is better to say that the Heart of Y'Shaarj does not mind the other party using its power to achieve its vision, because no matter what Garrosh did, even if he defeated the Alliance and destroyed all A race that does not obey the orcs and allows the orcs to become the real masters will only serve as a wedding dress for the disciples of the ancient gods.

The final winner is the heart of Y'Shaarj that has been dormant in his body, not himself.

It is for this reason that the Mantid clan, represented by the Klaxxi organization, chose to be loyal.Their allegiance is also not to Garrosh, but to the heart of Y'Shaarj in his body, the echo of the most powerful ancient god.

This extended two further conjectures, one favorable and one unfavorable.

The first one is derived from the previous conjecture. The mantid keeps in mind its vocation as a derivative of the shadow of the void, and its allegiance to Garrosh is not as simple as it seems. Otherwise, with the wisdom of the mantid, how could it be in the end? When the ancient god N'zoth is still alive, he is loyal to a mortal who controls the echo of his master. Even during the Dark Empire, N'zoth had a competitive relationship with his master Y'Shaarj, but he was also the last surviving ancient god. God is the being most likely to lead the remaining forces of the Dark Empire to continue their original mission.

Once this speculation is confirmed, it will be very detrimental to Angmar.He will not be able to completely control the Mantid, because no matter what the appearance, the Mantid will always have the idea of ​​​​recovering the Dark Empire, and keeping such subordinates around will only be a time bomb.

The second guess is that there are not so many twists and turns, and the mantid is just an echo of its master's fanaticism.The long evolution has long made them no longer desire to implement any void will, and just want to let the race survive.No matter who controls the Heart of Y'Shaarj, they will gain their unreserved allegiance.

Unfortunately, Angmar had limited time at that time and could not confirm any of them.

Now returning to the ancient timeline, the threat of the "fallen" no longer exists, but a new enemy has emerged, the ultimate enemy that will come at the end of time.If the mantids can be instigated, they may not be able to be used as a force against evil.

So the problem is back.

Angmar hoped that the second conjecture would be confirmed.Just imagining the future scene made him feel excited

A cruel social system has been established in dozens of reincarnations for hundreds of years. The entire clan is elite and has a military strength comparable to that of the mainstream ethnic groups. Because of their fanatical beliefs, they implement their own instructions without reservation.There is no prevarication by the parliament, and there is no consideration of the interests of the bureaucracy. The master points out the direction of the ethnic group's progress.Angmar only needs to do something about the Heart of Y'shaarj to have such a group of brave warriors.

But Angmar actually doesn't have much expectations for this.Not to mention that the possibility of the first conjecture coming true is not small. At the ancient time point, the two ancient gods C'Thun and Yogg-Saron were not dead yet.

No matter what, he had to give it a try.

"I understand your lofty beliefs and your desire to help this land eliminate the biggest threat. But I must say that this is a dangerous move, mortal." After some contemplation, Senior Guardian Lai said in a deep voice, with eyes in his eyes. Flashing with uneasiness and worry.

He has guarded this land since the Sequential Era, guarding the seal of the Heart of Y'Shaarj for countless thousands of years.No one knows the horror of the Heart of Y'Shaarj better than him. As early as the Ordering Period, even the Titans of the Pantheon were helpless against the remaining essence of this most powerful ancient god, and had to choose the same approach as they did to other ancient gods. Sealing it is enough to prove the problem.

From the perspective of High Guardian Rai, there is no way to isolate the corrupting influence of the Heart of Y'Shaarj other than continuing to maintain the seal.

Make it an artifact

Len shook his head.

If the speaker hadn't been Angmar, Rai would have sternly denounced him as an ignorant, fearless lunatic.

"High-level Guardian, no one in this world knows better than me how to use the power of order to balance, isolate and suppress the corrupting influence of the shadows."

Angmar said softly. As he spoke, the whites in his eyes disappeared and were replaced by a layer of deep color, turning into pure black.There was also shadow energy permeating the palm, and soon the whole body was reflected in a strange scene. The shadow corrupted the snow on the bluestone floor and extended rapidly into the distance.

A few seconds passed, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters was corrupted. The melted snow turned into some strange black liquid that squirmed like a concrete shadow. Tentacles that danced crazily continued to sprout from it, which was extremely terrifying. .

Len frowned.

The two of them are located on the main peak, and there are many White Tiger Temple monks on duty nearby.Soon someone noticed the strange phenomenon here and found that the culprit of all this was Angmar who was accompanied by the high-level guardian Lai. They all froze on the spot.

"What are you doing"

Before Lai finished speaking, a force of order surged out of Angmar's body. After a few breaths of time, all the corruption disappeared, and everything returned to its original appearance, as if it had never happened. Just like the terrifying vision just now.After the two offset each other, the remaining energy evaporated and intertwined into an extremely weird energy in mid-air.

Len's frown deepened.He stretched out his fingers to touch the ball of energy suspended in the air, only to find that the two were inseparable, and it was impossible to distinguish any of the original energy from it.

As the most powerful guardian, High Guardian Rai has a vision far beyond that of mortal races.

Angmar's ability to control any kind of energy alone is not very outstanding.The control of the power of order is not as good as that of the Guardians. At most, it is only slightly better than those skilled in spellcasting among Titan creations.

The same goes for the manipulation of shadow energy.In the Sequential War, Rai defeated too many Faceless General Krasis and powerful Commander-level Aqirs. Their ability to control shadows was extremely detailed, many times better than Angmar.

But he did something that even he couldn't do, combining the origin of order and the origin of void.

This scene is so bizarre that Lai doesn't want to believe it, but facts speak louder than words.

"I have to say, you surprised me. But how does that help your plan to use the Heart of Y'shaarj to create an artifact?"
