Thorim's face turned pale, and not only him, but all the guardians' expressions became gloomy.
"What's wrong?" Magni noticed that their reaction was not normal.
Freya said something that shocked the Alliance warriors: "If we let Yogg-Saron escape, we would be derelict in our duty. When the Observer Algalon arrives, he may revoke our guardian qualifications on the spot. By the way, revocation means destruction."
Thorim added: "Remember what I said? If Algalon determines that Azeroth has been completely polluted, he will send a signal to the Pantheon to purify, that is, to destroy the entire planet."
All the Alliance warriors were worried about Thorim's words, but Duke, the time traveler, could only play his acting skills again, as if he had considered for a long time before saying this: "What if... we who are not affiliated with the Pantheon go and beat, oh, communicate with Algalon, and make him give up sending signals to the Pantheon?"
As soon as Duke finished speaking, Gavinrad, Magni and a few other guys started to make a fuss, and even Sylvanas tightened the grip of her artifact longbow.
Uh, I'm afraid if these guys really set up an empire or something, the name of that empire would definitely be The Empire of Troublemaking, right?
Thorim rolled his eyes at this group of audacious mortals, or rather mortals who had claimed to be gods. "As the guardians of Ulduar, we will decisively kill any existence that does harm to Ulduar. On the other hand, we have no right to prevent you from communicating with the messengers of the Pantheon. But if you have a conflict with Algalon, and Algalon orders us to purify you, we will obey orders without hesitation. Because this is our duty."
Thorim looked businesslike.
Duke bared his teeth: "God damn it, Thorim, you are quite cunning! As if it wasn't you who delayed Algalon for so long?
Since Thorim was speaking in an official tone, he was almost making it clear to Duke and the others, and Duke understood what he meant.
Duke raised his hand, and Atiesh immediately flew back under the control of his arcane energy. He looked at his artifact staff and said, "Our communication with Algalon must be secret and will never be made public. I hope that all guardians will abide by their confidentiality principles."
I'll give you a look, and you'll experience it yourself! We will beat Algalon so hard that his mother won't recognize him, and we will also make sure that no one will hear him even if he screams at the top of his lungs, so just pretend to be confused.
Mimiron's mechanical eyes flickered. "The titans didn't leave us here because they expected us to remain unchanged. They were eager to see changes and new possibilities, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged for me to be their creator."
This was also a hint, and several guardians or watchers nodded.
Duke suddenly felt a little bit of admiration for those damn guys in the Pantheon.
Have to admit their greatness.
The titans were able to create out of thin air such a group of powerful creatures that possessed self-awareness and self-values, yet had the firm will to abide by their duties.
Under normal circumstances, Guardians would never go beyond the duties set by the titans.
But their will can strike a perfect balance between their own desires and responsibilities.
The titans definitely deserve the title of creators.
"You should get a platinum disc from the Iron Council," Mimiron reminded.
"This?" Gavinrad took out the thing.
"This is called the Archive Data Disc!" Mimiron said this without any clue, and then refused to speak again.
Duke smiled and patted Gavinrad on the shoulder. Everyone understood that this thing was the key to the place where Algalon descended.
However, the guardians and watchers cannot help Duke and his men fight against their own imperial envoys, and this is the biggest weakening.
Everyone was actually a little uneasy.
Duke couldn't say it out loud either, after all, this matter was quite taboo.
"Okay, let's quickly divide up Yogg-Saron's collection, and then have a good talk with Algalon! Time is a bit tight, so I'll make the decision on my own this time." Duke once again acted as the leader of the Blackhand and went to distribute the equipment.
"Okay, no problem."
"That's it."
This time, no strong tribe members participated in the battle. As they were all family members, there was nothing to be ashamed of. As an ancient god who had lived for tens of thousands of years, especially during the Dark Empire, Yogg-Saron, as a deity, enjoyed the tribute and sacrifice of countless believers.
It would never use many of its treasures, so it kept them in its personal space. As the biological tissue of Yogg-Saron's core was destroyed, this personal space also collapsed.
Duke rescued the things before the small space collapsed.
This wave is actually quite fat.
Jaina got the dagger Soul Scar. This dagger looks like a double-headed sword, but it is actually a very small dagger. There is a green rune energy similar to "" flowing in the middle. I don't know if it comes from a warrior who fought for the titans back then, because this is a pure titan rune magic sword.
Because it has a similar structure to arcane energy, it can provide Jaina with a large number of additional magic circuits, which directly increases her spell strength, casting speed, and spell critical strike by a significant amount.
Vanessa got a Badge of the God-Slayer ring, which not only provides her with a large amount of agility increase, but also serves as proof of her ability to kill gods.
Edwin VanCleef got a Regicide. Although the name was not nice, this sharp dagger really increased his attack power.
Magni took the King's Royal Seal without any dispute. This defensive ornament came from a king of an unknown dynasty. It was covered with indelible blood stains. Even after countless years, it still seemed to prove the king's determination to protect his country.
Most of the items dropped by Yogg-Saron are scattered. Basically, if you see something suitable, raise your hand and it will be allocated and equipped on the spot.
If you are worried about any curse or unsafe shadow energy remaining, just ask Freya next to you to purify it. It's a piece of cake.
Duke also changed his equipment after a long absence.
Having reached the level of a demigod, generally speaking, there is nothing worth Duke taking unless it is a divine weapon.
Whether it is worth it is one thing, and whether you want it or not is another.
Duke got the "False God Boots", which were not originally called this name. History is written by the victors, and since Yogg-Saron has knelt, he is a false god.
There's nothing special about these shoes.
The focus is on the Extraordinary Horror Shoulder Pads at the back.
This cloth shoulder ornament is quite eye-catching.
On the inward-curved, crescent-shaped shoulder ornament, there is a pink light shield with a similar outline to the shoulder armor, which not only provides additional magical defense capabilities, but also shines as brightly as a neon light.
It's as cool as it can be.
Back then, Duke's friends who played games with him fought over this thing countless times.
By getting it, Duke has fulfilled a small wish.
When the equipment was almost distributed, only one accessory was left and no one wanted it.
"Hey, this thing..." Duke took one look and understood why everyone had strange expressions.
This small pincer-like accessory is the Claw of the Conquered Yogg-Saron. As the name suggests, it can be used to summon a tentacle of Yogg-Saron to fight for you.
Most of the biological tissues directly under Yogg-Saron have collapsed and necrotized, which is an exception. It is more like a powerful person in the Dark Empire period who cultivated a part of the detached limbs of the god he worshipped through special means and turned it into a single tentacle that obeyed his own orders.
"Look, Duke, didn't you already have one of these last time? Since you like this, why not get one to make a pair?" When Gavinrad said this dirty talk, he had no idea that almost all the women in the audience were looking at him as if he were a cockroach.
Then Duke was caught in the crossfire.
"Haha!" It was an awkward but polite smile.
Behind the scenes, Duke wanted to strangle Gavinrad, the big mouth.
That's right, Duke did get an accessory Tentacle of 'Thun before!
If he also takes the Claw of the Conquered Yogg-Saron, he will have two items that are deeply loved by gentlemen.
As a result, the way Duke's own harem looked at him changed.
Their pretty faces were frozen, and silently, they all stood together, forming a firm alliance.
They were clearly saying, "Duke, if you dare to use them on us, you'll have your harem explode!"
Duke gave him a desperate look and asked: Do I look like such a heavy-mouthed guy?
The five most important people turned their heads together, looked at Vashj, then looked at Onyxia, and then all five of them nodded together, clearly saying: Yes! Right! Things in the world are unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable! We didn't know you were such a heavy-handed guy back then, otherwise we wouldn't have followed you!
Woohoo——
Duke burst into tears.
I was careless and failed to control myself, and now my reputation is ruined.
I don't want to live anymore!
All right! I'd rather die than let my friend die.
It's not fair that I'm the only one who fell into the pit.
Duke looked serious and called Gavinrad and Kael'thas: "Now, in the name of the Alliance Commander, I will give you a difficult and long task. This is for you."
After that, Duke gave 'Thun's Tentacles to Kael'thas and Yog-Saron's Claw to Gavinrad.
Gentleman Duke said sternly: "The Alliance needs you to learn more about these two defeated ancient gods and whether there are any residual biological tissues left in the world, or try to develop tools to detect the remnants of the ancient gods. One of you is the most praised great paladin in the Alliance, and the other is the most wise Speaker of the Kirin Tor. the Alliance is assured to entrust the task to you."
Gavinrad seemed to have received an order to do a handstand and shit immediately, and his bitter face revealed clear despair and frustration.
On the contrary, Kael'thas, who didn't understand why, took the task seriously.
"call!"
The problem was solved and Duke breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, let's go have a good chat with Lord Algalon!"
After distributing the equipment, everyone was very happy and their combat power was increased by another level.
Perhaps this is what is meant by "one does not miss the opportunity to sharpen the knife while chopping wood"!
With Mimiron leading the way in disguise, the Alliance's heroes and Duke's men marched towards the observatory in a mighty manner.
As an observatory built by titan himself, it certainly wouldn't just be a huge telescope or something.
Although it is called an observatory, it is actually more like a huge star transmission center.
When you step into this magnificent and huge hall, you can see many three-dimensional star maps floating in the void. The space channels connecting the planets are also clearly marked.
Almost the moment they saw Observer Algalon, all the powerful men of Azeroth, except Duke, were stunned.
On the surface, Algalon is a humanoid being, a standard giant body, with flowing robes and clear human face contours.
In fact, no one can say for sure what kind of existence he is.
Because everyone can see the "bones" inside his translucent body.
It is called a skeleton, but in fact it is a series of light spots like constellations. These bright blue and white light spots and rays form a matchstick-like endoskeleton, supporting the entire huge and seemingly light body.
"It should be an elemental creature." Duke concluded.
"Who are you!?" Algalon was quite surprised by the arrival of Duke and other heroes. "Where are the guardians of Ulduar? I can feel that they are still alive. Why did they allow you to come here?"
Duke stepped out from the crowd and bowed deeply to Algalon with a smile.
"Hello! Lord Algalon, please allow me to introduce ourselves to you. We are the Azeroth Alliance! We represent all the native intelligent races that were born and raised on this planet, and we are here to negotiate with you."
No one who can be an imperial envoy is a fool.
Algalon's translucent face showed a very anthropomorphic expression: "First of all, can you tell me what happened to the ancient evil god Yogg-Saron who was imprisoned in Ulduar? I feel its breath, but it is the breath of death!"
"I regret to inform you that it corrupted the mind of Loken, the King of Wisdom, and controlled him. Then, with Loken's hand, it destroyed the cage of Ulduar and was freed for a time. However, with the efforts of us and the guardians of Ulduar, the core of Yogg-Saron has been jointly destroyed by us."
"Oh! This is really good news! But what are you doing? Why are you here? Don't think I didn't notice your little trick." Algalon suddenly became stern.
Duke smiled. He had no intention of hiding it from the other party.
The noise of such a big scale in the blocked space cannot be hidden from anyone.
"We just hope we won't be 'purged' for no apparent reason!"
"Hmph!" Algalon snorted coldly, "I have witnessed countless worlds being baptized by the Creator - the inhabitants there accepted their fate numbly, without even shedding a tear. In the time it takes for your mortal hearts to beat, countless planetary systems have disappeared in the brilliant light. But until now, I have no feelings for them, no sympathy - I can feel nothing! Ten million, one hundred million lives have returned to dust in vain."
"Why should I agree to your request!?"
Every powerful person in Azeroth was stunned!
arrogant!
arrogant!
Claiming to be superior!
Is this the observer sent by titan?
Treat billions of lives as scum!
Although everyone understands the truth, just like humans regard ants and other insignificant lives as nothing, just like humans think it is natural to slaughter livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep. After the guardians' explanation, everyone also knows that the planet Azeroth is the titan's life breeding ground, but...
It's just so fucking annoying!
Even wild animals resist being hunted and slaughtered by humans because of their survival instinct, let alone highly intelligent creatures! ?
Observing the ridicule of the crowd, it can be said that it was easy to attract the hatred of the whole audience.
For such a funny thing, Duke only wants to describe it with these five words: "You have a lot of ideas (you are an idiot)".
Since the Dark Portal incident ushered in the turbulent era of Azeroth, the Alliance has been maintaining close cooperation and communication with the guardians of the titan forces represented by Wyrmrest Temple during its growth.
For the sake of Alexstrasza and other guardian dragons, as long as Algalon was still a guy who could speak and communicate normally, the local powerful Azerothians present would not have done anything extreme towards him.
Now that Algalon was asking for trouble, Duke could only laugh.
If we say that this imperial observer holding the imperial sword is as powerful as Kil'jaeden and Yogg-Saron, it is understandable. After all, a powerful person is naturally qualified to act in a domineering manner.
However, Duke was very clear that this guy's ability was quite limited. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was worried that he would issue purification orders at every turn, thus restricting their hands and feet in disguise, this guy would have turned to ashes long ago.
Now, the magic feedback from Duke's left hand Atiesh told Duke that the space blockade had been completed.
Oscar winner Duke's face darkened: "Algalon, have you completed the calculation and assessment of Azeroth!?"
Almost at the moment Duke finished speaking, all the heroes were shocked.
Before coming here, Thorim repeatedly emphasized that he must find Algalon before he completes his assessment of the planet's condition and convince him to change his mind and not issue the purification order.
Now Duke suddenly asked this question, which made everyone's heart hang in their throat.
Algalon has stars connecting to form rays of light that make up his internal skeleton, and the semi-illusory muscles on his face still have rich expressions.
"It's done! I'm quite disappointed with the evolution and results of this planet. After 25,000 years, not only has it failed to cultivate the perfect creatures that the titans expected to see, but more corroded, rotten and ugly creations have been born. What's even more unbelievable to me is that the guardians who should have fulfilled their duties until the moment of the destruction of the universe have also fallen!"
Algalon said seriously, "So I have only been in this world for three minutes, and I have come to the conclusion that this planet must be completely purified. My report has been sent out. You humble indigenous creatures, just wait for the Pantheon to come again, and then completely disappear from this universe."
Oh my god!
As soon as the observer finished speaking, the heroes in the Alliance were the first to explode.
"Damn it! Is there anyone as unreasonable and reckless as you?" Old Buddha Tirion was so angry that he was furious.
"With just three minutes of observation, you can so easily decide the survival or destruction of billions of lives on an entire planet?" Magni's beard stood up.
"What's the difference between you and a destroyer like Sargeras? If all titans are like this, then we will not hesitate to fight against their arrival!" Sylvanas directly raised her Solidal Star's Fury, put the arrow forged with star power on the string, and aimed at Algalon.
Facing the public outrage, Algalon showed no fear. He stood proudly with his hands behind his back and said, "Foolish native creatures, you know nothing about the might and power of the Pantheon!"
The implication is: titan can do whatever it wants to you.
At this time, Duke stood out from the crowd and said, "Yes! Perhaps we don't know much about the power of the Pantheon titans. But we have dealt with the Burning Legion, and we know that the former titan warrior, now the fallen titan Sargeras of the Burning Legion, has been rampant in this universe for 25,000 years. Not only did he lead the Burning Legion to destroy tens of thousands of planets, but I also know that he had a fierce fight with the Pantheon back then."
When Duke said this, everyone finally saw that Algalon took half a step back.
Duke directly put the heaviest weight on the table: "I just want to ask, if the Pantheon is still there, then where are the titans? Are they willing to let the fallen titans who betrayed them roam freely in the universe? Or is the Pantheon... actually destroyed!?"
Duke's words were not only heartbreaking to Algalon, but also outrageous!
Algalon waved his hand and said, "How dare you! I am the supreme representative sent by the titans. You have no right to ask me any questions!"
Duke sneered, "Haha, how many tens of thousands of years have you not had direct contact with the Pantheon? I guess it's been twenty-five thousand years? If the titans were still around, we 'natives' wouldn't have to bother setting traps to kill Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, and kick Sargeras into the Abyss."
After saying that, Duke opened his hands, and three magical images immediately hung above Duke's head, appearing in front of Algalon like movie clips.
Duke stabbed Medivh, who was possessed by Sargeras' soul, to death with one sword in Karazhan; Duke stabbed Archimonde to death with the final blow in Mount Hyjal; and Elune dealt the final blow to half of Kil'jaeden's body in the Sunwell...
This extremely magnificent and thrilling scene made Algalon feel terrified.
However, Algalon, who was used to looking down on others and was high above everyone else, was unwilling to admit his inner guilt and weakness.
As an observer with his own will, he had long been accustomed to his superior status above all others. He would never admit that a powerful indigenous warrior of a planet actually had the strength to defeat the Burning Legion.
He still argued: "Humph! We can make as many fabricated images as we want. And how could the great Pantheon lose to a traitor like Sargeras!?"
His disdain completely angered the powerful people of Azeroth.
The sneer on Duke's face became even more severe: "Well, the negotiations have failed. We can only resort to force!"
Duke raised his hand and gave a simple order like a gangster: "Beat him——"
This time, to everyone's surprise, the one leading the dragon was actually Onyxia!
"I knew that this damn guardian was no good!"
Ha?
Duke stared blankly.
Did you...make some mistake?
On the surface, what Onyxia said was a paradox. She is a guardian, but she calls the guardians bastards. Isn't this confusing herself?
Duke knew very well that this crooked female dragon was more resentful than arrogant.
She was doing well as a villain before, then she turned from a traitor to a loyal minister. Then, Algalon, the Pantheon's special envoy, actually said, 'You are not a loyal minister. All the loyal ministers in Azeroth are traitors. You must be purified. GG. Your whole family must die.' How could Onyxia bear this?
The resentment has reached its peak, and the only thing I can do is vent it!
Onyxia started to rant, and she took a deep breath...
A demigod dragon acting as a spray gun would be a pretty spectacular scene.
If she had been fighting alone in the past, she would never use Deep Breath right away. Dragon Breath requires energy storage. If she uses up all the fire elements stored in the body in one breath, even with her strength as a demigod, it will take a long time for her to use Deep Breath a second time.
The point is, the Alliance is now strong and powerful!
She has a group of demigods behind her.
"Hmph! The Guardians are now corrupted indeed!" How could Algalon not see that Onyxia was also a Guardian Dragon with the status of a Guardian, even if this Guardian Dragon seemed a little informal in his eyes.
A psychedelic fist of light blasted out from his half-illusive left arm.
In the air, it was as if something extremely tiny was compressed and then burst out in one breath. Its swift momentum startled all the non-tank professionals in the Alliance.
This punch is not simple!
Duke narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: Quantum Strike?
As a boss that focuses on magic, Algalon's physical attack is quite strong, and the attack just now is his representative move.
On the surface, it was a physical attack, but in reality, Algalon mobilized the smallest indivisible basic unit of energy in the air. This force that was biased towards light energy was already in the realm of quantum optics.
Once the move is launched, it is impossible to defend or dodge this attack which is so subtle as to be on the quantum level.
The only way is to eat it!
"Ouch!" Onyxia took the blow, and even though she was a guardian dragon with thick skin and flesh, she felt a little pain. At this time, the black dragon princess decisively followed her heart, which was also called "cowardly"!
"Master, this guy is powerful!" After shouting, she decisively moved her huge body to make way for the subsequent attackers.
Duke held his forehead with his hand: Damn, you are so big, and you have the nerve to hide aside. I am drunk too!
Duke was really at a loss for words.
Unfortunately, Duke couldn't expect too much. If she still had the ferocity she once had, she would be untouchable. If she was willing to be Duke's mount, she wouldn't be a brave guy.
This is why she can't have the best of both worlds, after all, she didn't originally belong to the Alliance camp.
Once Onyxia gives up the attack area, naturally there will be strong people to take over.
The Qiraji twin emperors immediately took over the positions, and they were quite active. If they had just surrendered, they might have had some other thoughts, but now all those thoughts have faded.
Two of the ancient gods had been killed. All they had relied on was the Alliance or Duke's stepping stone.
Judging from this trend, more and more strong people will join Duke in the future. Among them, there are many demigod-level strong people. If they want to keep their status, they can't just rely on seniority. They have also seen clearly that Duke is nostalgic. As long as they work hard, Duke will not treat anyone unfairly.
So they work very hard!
This time, it was the Demon King Veklor who rushed to the front. Seeing this, Duke just wanted to laugh. He understood the Twin Emperor's thoughts very well. It was nothing more than seeing that the opponent's Quantum Strike should still belong to the field of physical attack, and the Demon King rushed forward to take advantage of his physical attack immunity.
Duke didn't tell the truth since he wouldn't die anyway.
Sure enough, no one who wants to steal the chicken can be pleased.
Algalon looked like a boxing champion, and immediately threw a left hook that stunned the Demon King.
This was no ordinary fight between giants, because when Algalon threw his fist, his entire left arm disappeared. When his left fist and left forearm appeared out of thin air, they had already hit Veklor in the face with a fierce punch.
Everyone can clearly see that half of the Demon Emperor's face is sunken.
If he was a weaker creature, this blow might have killed him.
Phase Boxing!
This Turtle Punch, which is almost like Flash and allows the fist to jump in an extremely short distance in space, can be said to be the nemesis of the Twin Emperors.
"Hmph!" At the same time, the Sword Emperor also let out a muffled groan.
"Oh? The lives are connected? Interesting life forms!" Algalon laughed mockingly, and then he used another Quantum Strike to hit the sword that the Sword Emperor used to block horizontally.
In just a breath of time, the Twin Emperors were bounced away.
Duke narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't mind his men being slightly humiliated, it was a bit demoralizing to see three demigods being beaten like this!
Duke raised two fingers of his right hand, and the next moment, a huge pillar of blazing fire shot up from the floor of the observatory into the sky. The area covered by this pillar of fire was enough to cover an entire basketball court.
This time, Algalon was no longer at ease. He narrowly avoided the attack with a rather awkward rolling movement.
"Who! Are! You?!" This time, Algalon's half-real and half-illusory face no longer had a relaxed look on it. Instead, it was filled with shock, shame and anger!
Duke tilted his head and said, "I am just a native demigod whom you look down upon."
Duke's words seemed to be self-mocking, but in fact, they were more hurtful. If you, Algalon, had to dodge the moves of a mere indigenous demigod so awkwardly, then who are you?
"Despicable native! How dare you steal the power of the great Pantheon titan!?" Algalon's voice changed.
That's right, what Duke just used was the power of the titan Runes left by Malygos. Although the system elves have not yet fully interpreted it, the 30% that has been interpreted now is enough to raise Duke's magic power to a higher level.
"Steal? No, no, no! The previous magical guardian dragon of Azeroth fell. In order to prevent the titan Runes from being lost, Alexstrasza, the lord of Azeroth's Wyrmrest Temple, personally asked me to collect and keep them!" Duke laughed and dragged the Red Dragon Queen into the water without a sound.
Of course, it was an emergency at the time, but if things really get investigated, Alexstrasza will definitely be blamed. Hehe! However, it depends on whether the titans have the ability to hold them accountable...
