38. Invite the Door of the Void--The Presumptuous Brothers of Midsummer [13/16]
Azshara behaved quite arrogantly.
But everyone present, and anyone who has a little knowledge of history, knows that the Naga Queen in front of her has the qualifications to be arrogant.
She was the emperor of the Elf Empire 10,000 years ago. She commanded that ancient civilization and prospered for 5,000 years. It was the first time after the ancient Troll Empire that flesh and blood life truly made its footprints throughout the world.
During the height of her empire, Queen Azshara ruled over one-third of the world.
The lands in front of her now, the lands occupied by humans, elves, and orcs, were once her territory.
Although the Troll Empire is recognized as the oldest empire in the world, most of the inheritance, knowledge and etiquette of Azeroth's current era were created during the Elf Empire. It can be said that all current civilizations have
It developed and grew based on the legacy of the Elf Empire. The Elf Empire under the rule of Queen Azshara was completely opposite to the lazy era of the Night Elves that followed.
If Queen Azshara's empire had not collapsed, relying on the persistence of the elven arcanists, the elves would have set foot among the stars long ago.
From this point of view, Queen Azshara can be called the enlightener of world civilization.
But she also missed some things. She was not a perfect life. Just like Shaohao, the panda emperor who sacrificed his life to save Pandaria, Queen Azshara has never been able to get rid of her pride from beginning to end. If pride is
If it is a sin, then Queen Azshara is definitely an unpardonable sin.
Her arrogance directly led to the Burning Legion's first invasion of Azeroth, causing a big explosion in the Well of Eternity, blowing the entire world into pieces, and causing the prosperous Elf Empire to fall apart. More importantly,
, the catastrophic consequences caused by that big explosion continue to this day.
And Her Majesty the Queen paid a heavy price for her arrogance.
She herself had to use the power of N'Zoth to reshape the empire, turning herself into a monster, and also affected her loyal subordinates, who also turned into deep sea creatures like Naga. In ten thousand years
The Nagas who have adapted to the deep sea no longer have the possibility of entering land.
And a few years ago, in order to avenge the Tyrande couple's "vicious backstabbing" of her back then, Azshara set off a large tsunami that directly flooded the night elves' Dark Coast and Mount Hyjal, causing the tragic deaths of hundreds of thousands of elves.
tragedy.
In general, Queen Azshara is a person who has more faults than merit, and is a ruler who is more evil than good. But even so, it cannot be denied that if there is anyone in the world of Azeroth who really deserves to be a legend
The name of the person is none other than Azshara.
At this time, on the coast of the White Tower City Port, Queen Azshara made a request to the rulers in front of her. She wanted them to persuade her and convince her to protect rather than destroy the world. Behind the queen, all over the world
The more than one million Naga army armed with sharp blades on the surface of the Endless Sea, as well as the looming tornado storm on the distant sea, all set off, making her somewhat strange request seem so intimidating.
But this also shows a problem from the side
That is Queen Azshara, who seems to be unwilling to start this senseless war. Maybe she was forced to come here by the power behind her. Maybe, there is a possibility of real peace between the two sides?
However, while the rulers of the land were trying to persuade Queen Azshara, in the deepest trench of the Endless Sea, under the Tower of Sacrifice in the flesh-and-blood city of Ny'alotha, N'Zoth was fighting for thousands of people.
The opening of the Void Gate planned and constructed in the middle of the year has finally reached its final stage.
The Faceless Men in the entire sleeping city gathered in the square under the dark red Tower of Sacrifice. They sang in sleepy voices to themselves and even the savior of the world, Qian Xu, who was sleeping in the tower.
God N'Zoth, the Tower of Sacrifice shines with a faint dark red light, like a crystal monument standing on the seabed. Nothing has happened for tens of thousands of years while soaked in the stagnant water of the deep sea.
Change.
This is the cage set by the Titan Guardians for N'Zoth. Although it is as dilapidated as the cages that imprisoned the other two ancient gods, N'zoth rarely tries to break through it.
N'Zoth is the wisest, or in other words, the most cunning of all the ancient gods. He knows that this cage is not only a restraint, but in this era, it is also a kind of protection. The ancient gods who are trying to break through the cage
Gods will not end well. The successive deaths of C'Thun, the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and Yogg-Saron, the Thousand-Maw Demon, who were stronger than it, have proven this.
This is no longer the era when the ancient gods could cover the sky with one hand. In this world, a force has arisen that can kill the ancient gods, although they will not truly die.
Under the cover of the titan cage that has not yet been broken through, N'zoth is quietly weaving a conspiracy at the bottom of the Sunless Sea, letting his brothers steal the show. No matter how powerful they seem, in the end they will only
It is a rule that an ancient god can devour this world! And the mission given by the Will of the Void can only be completed by N'Zoth.
Under the cover of the cage, N'Zoth silently gathered strength. It used its own flesh and blood to transform the faceless army. It was almost the most generous of all the ancient gods, sharing its power with those who were worthy.
servants, allowing them to share the glory of the void, and those servants did not disappoint N'Zoth.
In the center of this sleeping city, the door to the void is ready
That is not a real door, it is just a symbolic statement. In fact, it is more like a cruel sacrificial ceremony. The faceless men search for the creatures with the purest vitality from the deep sea and use their lives to
It can be extracted as a sacrifice for this ritual, and on the three stairs, at the center of the 13 layers of void runes, surrounded by twisted skulls and blood of corpses, N'Zoth's most loyal vanguard officer,
Void Pioneer Unat is holding the Void Stone and stepping onto the top of the altar.
Unat is not a void creature created by N'Zoth himself, but he is the one who thinks closest to the void and is the most fanatical among all the void creatures.
It was originally a guard of Queen Azshara. Later, as the queen's envoy, it was sent to Ny'alotha to serve N'zoth. Thousands of years later, it volunteered to become a vanguard and warrior of the void, so N'zoth gave him
Without the purest blood of the ancient gods, Unat still retains some of the attitude of Naga, but it no longer has anything to do with Azshara and Naga civilization.
"Do it, the vanguard of the void will pour that endless power into this world!"
N'Zoth's deep voice echoed in Unat's thoughts, and the vanguard of the void did not hesitate for a second. It opened its hand, and the purple void stone moved in response.
This stone is a strange object that fell into the world of Azeroth together with the ancient gods. It is like a beacon stone. After certain conditions are met, it can open cracks in the void plane or call upon the power of the void.
, when the ancient gods were defeated by the Titan Guardians, the Void Stone also flowed into the world. Few people can discover the secret of this stone, and those who are lucky enough to see the true appearance of the stone will be enchanted by the power of the void.
, swallowed it cleanly.
And now, this stone will become N'zoth's key to open the door to the void. It will push open the door and then never close it. Only in this way can the real master of the void own this world.
"Ah! God of the Abyss! I bring you the opener of the world, the messenger of void truth, the torch that lights the way!"
"Your eyes watch every truth and every uncountable crime!
“Your devotion transcends gravel and transcends the stars!”
"Your gaze falls on every step and you give shape to every dream!"
Unat's tall, snake-like body stood upright in the sudden rising wind of the void. It held the Void Stone in its hand high. The response from the Shadow Realm contained in the stone made the vanguard of the Void feel that
The glory of existence, so it shouted at the top of its lungs:
"Come on! In your whisper, the ring of stars in this world has transformed into flesh and blood!"
"Come on! All eyes are open, all roads are paved!"
In the drunken roar of this void creature, other faceless men in Ny'alotha also joined in the singing, and the twisted flesh and blood creations around the city of flesh and blood also became restless, in the center of the city
, on the altar of Unat, a faint eyeball was suspended in the cold and dead sea water like an illusory projection.
It is watching the void creature in front of it, and it is also watching the world, as if it is like a grand will.
"Come on! Under your feet, the world will tumble in pain. On the tip of your tongue, it is the fear of all living creatures!"
Unat is not so much reciting a mantra as he is loudly singing praises to the physical incarnation of the void. However, it is this kind of illogical and crazy talk that causes the power in the void stone to burst out.
The diffuse purple, mist-like power in the water is mixed with the life energy on this evil altar, like a gluttonous beast, devouring those living lives.
N'Zoth, who was sealed in the Tower of Sacrifice, also used a deep voice at this moment to summon the power and will from his hometown in the void:
"Everything will wake up"
"Yes! That's it!"
"Come closer, come closer! Come to this world!"
"Buzz"
At N'Zoth's call, the eyeballs watching the world suddenly shattered, as if responding to the calls of these madmen, and the void stone in Unat's hand suddenly cracked, and the purest void hidden in it rushed out of the altar,
As N'Zoth and the entire Ny'alotha were filled with the power of the void, a rotating crack in the world suddenly opened like broken glass.
This scene is like the scene when the rift in the world of death opens. Around the rift, the weakened space appears extremely fragile at this moment. Those tangible and invisible void creatures are twisting and turning as if they have discovered a new continent.
Moving its indescribable body, it howled and rushed out of the crack.
Along with those strange void creatures, there is also the strong power from the real shadow realm. It hits the land of Ny'alotha like a purple waterfall, like an invisible punch, and it will
The tattered Titan seals that bound N'Zoth were all eliminated at this moment.
"Bang"
Along with the crazy swaying of the earth under the sea, more than a dozen cyan and black tentacles tore open the earth under the sea, like creeping vines, lifting up the bottom of the quiet sunless sea, creating endless noise and endless whispers.
it, n'zoth
Free!!!
—
At the same moment when N'Zoth waved his tentacles and led endless void creatures towards the rough sea, at the edge of the dark temple suspended above the clouds, the great lord's cloak was blown by the suddenly intensified cold wind.
There was a sound, and his ice-blue eyes stared at the sea below. The moment he saw the phantom of N'Zoth, Tyrion stretched out his left hand.
At the same time, in the energy core of the distant Titan City Ulduar, with the help of the mechanical guardian Mimiron, Maiev and Nasa immediately opened a strange device, and at the core of the device, there was
The other piece of the Sargerite Key that was cut into two pieces.
"The stage has been set, the villain is in place, and the audience is waiting."
The great lord raised his head, looked at the sky above his head, and whispered:
