No one knows when the "Titan's Road" of Northrend was built. This is a road leading from the Storm Peaks, where the north wind howls, to the beach at the southern end of Dragonblight. The roadbed is made of complete megaliths of the same material as the Temple of Ulduar.
Mortals have no ability to build such a road. Aiden learned from the main computer of the Halls of Stone that this was the road left by the Titans when they first came to Azeroth and transformed it.
One end is connected to the Makers' Engine in the Storm Peaks, and the other end is connected to the Titan artifact, the "Orb of Power," on the ancient beach.
The Titan's Road is a transmission pipeline for the Orb of Power to provide energy to the Makers' Engine.
It's just that during the War of the Ancients, after the night elves detonated the Well of Eternity, causing the earth to shatter, this pipeline was broken to pieces. The ancient beach has become an unknown isolated island.
Precisely because of this, even if Aiden has the authority to drive the Makers' Engine, he doesn't have the energy to rely on it to create an invincible giant army.
You must know that whether it is stone giants, storm giants, vrykul, tol'vir, earthen, or mechanical gnomes, they are all "produced" from the Makers' Engine. Especially the stone giants and storm giants, they are the main force of the Titan army.
Now they are chasing the severely injured Chromatic Dragon along this damaged Titan's Road.
They are getting closer and closer to Chromatus. Mrozond, Ysazz, Hagara, and Blackhorn have all been left behind. Now, what "cannon fodder" of sufficient value does the Old God have to delay their progress?
At this moment, a group of dragons slanted over from the northwest, protecting Chromatus in the very center.
Aiden saw that it was a group of twilight dragons, led by his acquaintances—the already deformed Dragonmother Sinestra and Black Dragon Prince Nefarian.
They looked very embarrassed, because behind them, Krasus and Onyxia were leading the dragon legions of the Wyrmrest Accord in pursuit.
Previously, this group of twilight dragons raided the Ruby Sanctum, trying to use chromatic dragon genes to pollute the unhatched dragon eggs, but unfortunately they did not succeed, but were ambushed by the Wyrmrest Accord.
After losing almost half of the strength of the twilight Dragonflight, Sinestra and the others escaped from the encirclement and flew in this direction according to their master's instructions.
However, this may not be a way to survive, because N'Zoth has issued an order to stop these pursuers at all costs.
God knows that they can't even resist the Wyrmrest Accord, let alone the four Dragon Aspects and Aiden, these "fierce gods and evil spirits"?
The seemingly powerful Chromatus is not Sinestra and Nefarian's escape route, but a cannon fodder route.
At this time, they are already very close to the coastline, and they will be able to fly to the sea in a short time. But at this time, the pursuers are also very close, and those twilight dragons who are lagging behind are being gradually devoured by the people who are catching up.
"Block them."
At this moment, Sinestra and Nefarian heard the most desperate order for them.
There is only a dead end to guard the rear, and Nefarian understands this very well.
Although he also defected to N'Zoth like his parents, that was just a change of faith. He did not accept the power transformation of the Old Gods and was not subject to N'Zoth's absolute control.
Most of the time, he would obey N'Zoth's orders, but he could not accept this kind of mission that was obviously sending him to his death!
That's not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but because this kind of death is meaningless to him. You must know that he is the greatest dragon biologist. Even the chromatic dragon genes were configured by him.
During the war, have you ever seen scientists take up weapons and go to the front line to die? If he goes to guard the rear, it is the same reason.
This is definitely not the way he can accept to die.
He was terrified, because disobeying N'Zoth's orders would also incur the penalty of death, even more severely than that.
Nefarian's mind was running fast, trying to figure out a way to survive, and then he suddenly shouted to Chromatus, the chromatic dragon who was only burying his head and flying forward: "Use the Twilight Judgment, Chromatus! Use the Twilight Judgment!"
Chromatus was stunned for a moment.
It was created collectively by the Black Dragon family.
Nefarian provided the perfect chromatic dragon genes, Sinestra cultivated its initial twilight dragon form, Deathwing fused it with the power of the Old Gods, and later injected the perfect Dragon Soul into its body, allowing it to fully accept the power of the Focusing Iris.
In any sense, this Chromatus regards the Black Dragon family as its parents and N'Zoth as its master.
The status of the master is of course higher than that of the parents for it, but when the master does not explicitly order it not to do such things, it will also execute the instructions of the "parents."
"Twilight Judgment," Chromatus whispered the name, and his confused eyes became firm.
Yes, it should use the Twilight Judgment to give these mortals and Dragon Aspects who are chasing it madly enough lessons.
It wants to use this irresistible force to tell these pursuers that it, the great Chromatus, even if it is injured, is not unable to defeat them!
It began to mobilize the energy inside its body.
A disturbing aura suddenly permeated the air. Thrall, who was very sensitive to the reaction of the elemental spirits, immediately noticed that the elemental spirits were in extreme panic. He remembered that the last time the elemental spirits were so flustered was when Outland was about to shatter—doesn't this mean that Azeroth is also encountering a truly world-destroying catastrophe?
Is the initiator the chromatic dragon in front of you?
At this time, the sky was almost completely dark. In the open Dragonblight, the stars at night are as bright as lights, so the visibility is relatively high. But when Chromatus cast his spell, it seemed that all the light was absorbed by his body, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.
An unusually terrifying force is forming, and the terrifying power makes the heroes who are chasing this twilight dragon tremble with fear.
They have a strong premonition in their hearts that if they don't stop the other party, this energy can destroy the world!
"The last light has also disappeared..." Chromatus's crazy voice came from the heavy darkness, making people feel creepy. "The Twilight Judgment is coming, you will perish with this world!"
"We must stop the advent of this power!" Nozdormu was filled with horror, "Otherwise, it will cause great trauma to the world, and even destroy the world!"
Alexstrasza resolutely said: "Use our divine power to create a shield!"
"Even if it sacrifices all the gifts the Titans have given us, we must block it." Ysera stood beside her sister, her expression extremely solemn.
Malygos didn't speak, but stood with the other three Dragon Aspects.
Thrall smiled wryly: "Let's begin."
He suppressed the unease in his heart and began to guide the divine power of the four Dragon Aspects. He was responsible for connecting the four Dragon Aspects with himself, and the intense emotions and resolute attitude of the Dragon Aspects made this mortal also feel excited.
The Twilight Judgment is descending, and someone must make a sacrifice. Thrall is willing to be that offering.
The Dragon Aspects intertwined their powers with Thrall's, and instantly, a massive, translucent shield appeared above everyone. This was a defensive barrier created by the Dragon Aspects using the divine power granted by the Titans. Once shattered, it would mean the Dragon Aspects would lose their divine power at best, and at worst, they would completely bear the brunt of the Twilight Judgment and be reduced to dust.
Alexstrasza turned back to Aiden and the others, saying, "We're counting on you, heroes. We don't know how long we can hold out. Once… please, you must stop Chromatus and Deathwing!"
Aiden frowned deeply, knowing what the Dragon Aspects were hesitant to say.
If the shield created by their divine power couldn't withstand the Twilight Judgment, then Thrall and the four Dragon Aspects, as the first to be hit, would die instantly.
After that, the earth would bear the power of the Twilight Judgment.
It must be known that the Focusing Iris, which was used to infuse energy into this Chromatus, had accumulated enough energy to destroy the world eight times over. Once the Twilight Judgment was unhindered, it would mean the world could very likely be destroyed!
He nodded heavily. At this moment, only by Try your best killing Odyn could that terrifying scene be prevented!
Just then, a huge ice claw suddenly rushed from behind them.
Aiden's heart stirred. He recognized at a glance that this was the signature skill of the Frost Witch Lissandra, called Glacial Path. Her main body could teleport to the location of this ice claw at any time.
Just as the ice claw arrived in the arena, Lissandra, whose entire body seemed to be sculpted from deep blue ice, suddenly appeared. She held the Eye of Sargeras in her hands, returning this artifact to Aiden.
Aiden was overjoyed. "You're just in time, Lissandra!"
"Every step is within the plan, Commander." Lissandra's voice was calm as usual, and the grim situation before her didn't seem to make her feel nervous at all.
Aiden put away the Eye of Sargeras and almost instantly disappeared from here.
At this moment, Chromatus's spellcasting was nearing its end. The Twilight Dragonflight and Sinestra and her son surrounded it, preventing it from being ambushed. Aiden didn't approach directly. The first moment he grasped the gem, he poured energy into it, then remotely locked onto Chromatus's model.
"There should still be time." He comforted himself.
As long as the Dragon Aspects could withstand the pressure for one minute, he could use the gem and scepter to stop the opponent!
Could the Dragon Aspects' divine power support them for one minute?
To be honest, none of the four Dragon Aspects were confident.
If it was when Chromatus had just cast this spell, Alexstrasza would have felt that supporting them for one minute would be easy; if it was half a minute ago, she would have felt that it might be a bit reluctantly; as for this moment, she only prayed that the barrier created by the Dragon Aspects with the divine power granted by the Titans could temporarily buffer the harm caused by the Twilight Judgment.
Because it was very likely to be destroyed in an instant…
The power of this destructive spell became more and more terrifying as Chromatus cast it.
In an environment of near-absolute darkness, everything around them seemed to disappear. People couldn't hear sounds or see anything. This plunged many heroes into panic. If any enemy could pass through the barrier and sneak attack at this time, they would die without any power to resist.
This realm, which isolated sound and light and even blurred spiritual perception, not only affected them but also affected the Twilight Dragonflight. It was indiscriminate, so both sides in the confrontation fell into a situation where they dared not move.
Aiden didn't panic. He even felt happy—in this dark realm, he was more focused than ever before, and even the reading progress of the Eye of Sargeras became unusually fast.
He "saw" inside the gem that Chromatus's model had been successfully recorded. And Chromatus was divided into three parts—its body was one part, and inside its body were two spheres composed of lines.
One of them was the Focusing Iris, which gave it almost endless power, and the other sphere was the perfect Dragon Soul that supported its body from collapsing.
When the names of these three models appeared before Aiden, he finally saw through the secret of Chromatus, this unique chromatic dragon.
Why would Chromatus, who was clearly a twilight dragon, become a chromatic dragon?
Why did this chromatic dragon have six heads instead of five?
Why was its strength stronger than any chromatic dragon on other timelines?
All the secrets were in these two spheres!
Before analyzing this result, Aiden was actually prepared to use the Eye of Sargeras to directly shatter Chromatus's purple head. That would definitely severely injure Chromatus, and there was a chance it could kill it, and it would definitely be able to stop the other party from casting the Twilight Judgment. But now, he had a better choice.
Aiden was very clear that the top priority now was to stop Chromatus from releasing the Twilight Judgment.
Shattering its purple head was the worst choice. Because even if Aiden started casting now, it would take more than half a minute to complete, and by then, the Twilight Judgment would probably have already been released.
Attacking the perfect Dragon Soul was also a choice. This golden sphere was the foundation of Chromatus's existence. Without it, without anyone attacking, the chromatic dragon genes and the twilight dragon genes in its body would immediately start a "war," and its body would soon collapse.
Because Chromatus was using such a powerful spell as the Twilight Judgment, the burden on its body was very heavy. If Aiden did this, he might be able to stop or even kill the opponent faster.
But that was also a terrible choice.
Because he wasn't sure if doing so would cause the terrifying energy inside Chromatus to directly lose control. If it self-destructed—the world would likely be destroyed immediately!
He chose the last method.
When Chromatus finally completed the Twilight Judgment and was about to unleash it on its enemies, an almost impossible accident occurred—it suddenly lost its connection to the energy core—the Focusing Iris!
It must be known that most of its power came from the Focusing Iris. Being able to cast such a powerful spell as the Twilight Judgment was even more because it used the power of the Focusing Iris. Now it needed to use this magical artifact to finish, to release the energy gathered around it, but at this critical moment, the Focusing Iris seemed to suddenly disappear!
Chromatus originally didn't know what fear was, but now it was plunged into terror.
