Twenty-six years after the Dark Portal, there were still three months before Illidan was killed.
The temple of Karabor, the holy land of the draenei, is now known as the Black Temple. Due to Ner'zhul's mistake, this ancient building was filled with space cracks.
On the observatory on the top of the Black Temple, Illidan, transformed into a clone of Aman'Thul, held the skull of Gul'dan tightly as if holding his own life.
This is a powerful magic weapon that can continuously absorb void energy from the cracks.
The tyrannical energy raged in his body, and his body collapsed and reorganized again and again.
Illidan half-knelt on the ground, and every time he reorganized his body, his strength improved.
Such inhuman torture would have driven an ordinary person crazy.
However, the ten thousand years of imprisonment and torture were just enjoyment for him.
Suddenly, Illidan's eyes covered with black cloth shot out two green rays of light.
He raised his head, and in the distant river of time and space, five green orc skulls were getting closer and closer, with his mark on them.
The five skulls finally landed in the cursed place, in front of the Dark Portal.
Illidan stretched out his right hand and pointed at Gul'dan's skull with his sharp nails.
Scenes came from the five skulls, and Illidan smiled cunningly, revealing a pair of sharp teeth.
"I have time, I have the truth. It turns out that this is the fate I am about to face."
Illidan took a deep breath: "I understand, the future is clearly presented in front of me. If I still can't change my destiny, I might as well jump from the Dark Temple."
Unfolding the broken membrane wings, Illidan flew around the Black Temple.
"I was called a betrayer, but I was betrayed."
A figure appeared in Illidan's mind, the leader of the Broken Ones, Akama.
Akama was originally the Draenei Archbishop. During the tragic Battle of Shattrath, he was corrupted by the poisonous mist and became the Broken One.
Because of the change in appearance, Holy Light abandoned him without hesitation. Fortunately, he was proficient in shamanism and led the Broken Ones who were as ugly as him to become the Ashtongue Deathsworn.
The fortress is easiest to break through from the inside. As long as Akama and his ugly compatriots are executed in advance, the Black Temple will be impregnable.
"And Maiev, of course."
Maiev Shadowsong is the leader of the Watchers. The night elves have a close relationship with the moon god Elune. Although they have captured Maiev, they dare not do anything to her.
In addition, Illidan also saw another picture.
"Kael'thas, he defected to the Burning Legion and colluded with Kil'jaeden. This should be a lie."
Illidan made a reasonable guess that not everyone is qualified to have access to the Burning Legion's top brass.
"But Kael'thas' betrayal is doomed, and Vashj is loyal. Perhaps she was killed before her ambitions were revealed."
"They are all traitors."
All subordinates have double-minded intentions, so they must look for problems within themselves.
Illidan began to think about what he had done wrong.
Suddenly, right in front of his eyes, a bright flower bloomed.
The red flowers have irregular petals, like a burning flame, floating quietly in the air.
This item is called Tyrande's Memory, and it has the power to enchant people's hearts, making Illidan extremely infatuated with Tyrande.
But Illidan had destroyed it many years ago.
Since arriving in the Outland, Tyrande's memories have continued to reappear in front of him, disturbing his emotions.
Illidan's face twisted, he groaned in pain, and reached out to crush Tyrande's memory.
However, this had no effect, and Tyrande's memory reappeared.
One transformed into two, two transformed into four, growing in geometric levels. In a blink of an eye, the observatory became a sea of flowers.
Illidan's head was buzzing, and countless false memories about Tyrande affected his emotions.
"You think you can interfere with me like this?" Illidan roared angrily: "I know who you are. I was imprisoned for ten thousand years in your name. This should have been your destiny."
Illidan looked at the sky, and across the countless gaps in space, he seemed to see a handsome night elf, a pair of golden eyes staring at him.
"Like Queen Azshara, you were born with different golden pupils." Illidan roared crazily: "It represents the resonance with Azeroth. You are the chosen one, the master of the star soul.
Even I can't disguise these golden pupils, I can only become a blind man."
"It's a pity that the golden pupils revealed your identity." Illidan gritted his teeth: "Elune had a plan long ago. First, he used the temptation of the devil's power to make you give up your talent. The ten thousand years of imprisonment were also aimed at you, so that you would never be with him again.
The possibility of star soul fusion, you should thank me, it was me who endured all this on your behalf and changed your destiny."
Probably after convincing the other party, countless memories of Tyrande disappeared, leaving only one in the end.
Illidan regarded this little flower like a scorpion, but he knew that this was the opponent's bottom line, so he had no choice but to put it in his arms.
Tyrande's memories affect his emotions.
Since the 21st year of the Dark Portal, when he defeated Magtheridon and became the new King of Outland, Illidan has not behaved too cruelly, all because of this little flower.
Taking a deep breath, Illidan calmed down, and one of his subordinates came to report that Akama was visiting.
"How dare he come to see me?" Illidan stretched out his claws as if to crush his head.
The sealed door opened, Akama came up the stairs and half-knelt on the ground: "I have seen the Lord of Outland."
"Get up and talk." There was no expression on Illidan's face.
"I want to protest." Akama's voice was loud and full of anger: "Why should the Broken Ones be driven out of the Garden of Joy?"
Illidan was startled for a moment.
The Garden of Pleasure in the Dark Temple was built by Mistress Shahrath and collected a large number of succubus, human and blood elf women. It looked like a place for fun and fun.
Of course, there are also orcs and troll women, but they cannot be put on the surface to satisfy customers with special tastes.
The purpose of establishing the Garden of Joy is to gain the power of desire. There is no dirty deal. The enthusiastic guests will soon be drained of desire and become as calm as water.
However, the Garden of Joy has requirements on the appearance of its guests, and ugly broken people are turned away.
According to Illidan's nature, he should have laughed at Akama viciously.
As can be expected, the violent Akama was furious, and the two sides fought. Illidan easily won, and took out part of his soul to create the shadow of Akama.
"Is this the reason for Akama's betrayal?"
For the sake of foreign lands and the people, it is just a lie to cover up oneself.
Illidan, who was already familiar with the future development, endured his temper and thought carefully.
Most of the Broken Ones are ashamed of themselves, and because they are busy communicating with the elements, Akama is the only one who has the time and experience to visit the Garden of Joy.
"Akama." Illidan decided to change his mind with a false smile.
"The Garden of Joy is not a good place. It is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. It is useless. If you like it, I will take you to a better place."
Akama didn't react for a while, Illidan became different from before.
"Is there a better place?" Akama looked longingly.
Illidan laughed, spread his wings, and flew into the sky.
"Outland has been broken, and the life of luxury and luxury is far away from us, but Azeroth is different. I know a place that will definitely satisfy you."
