Chapter 1175 16. The Annihilator

The birth of the race of Titans is amazing.

Judging from the brief communication between the Great Lord and Aggramar, the origin of the Titans should be the manifestation of the most primitive arcane power that escaped from the singularity of all things to the entire stars at the beginning of the star era.

Most of the primordial arcane powers that were born at the beginning of the Stars Era were integrated into the six power rules of the Stars and became the basis for the birth of the Stars Era. It will be integrated into some primitive planets. The origin and development of civilizations on these planets will gradually awaken the dormant arcane spirits in the planets, which are the world spirits, star souls, or titans in their infancy.

They will grow together with the world that gave birth to them in the form of spirit bodies, until the boundaries of civilization break through a certain limit, the spirit of the titans will truly enter the maturity stage, and the arcane power surging in the core of the planet will also It will be intertwined with the power of the world, and in the core of the world, it will make the strongest body for the Titan.

At this point, the fusion of the mature world spirit and the body of the titan will become a real titan, a legendary creature with the top arcane power among the stars.

According to Aggramar, the Titans have a magical, symbolic connection with the world that gave birth to them. When the Titans leave the world, they will not tear the world apart, but will manifest themselves among the stars, and that world will If it continues to exist, the civilization carried by the world will continue to develop. Generally speaking, the worlds that are qualified to breed the spirit of the titans will develop faster than those world civilizations that do not have the spirit of the titan. Stronger and more hopeful to step into the stars.

Azeroth and the world of Argus are two very representative examples.

And Tyrion also asked Aggramar about the world that gave birth to him, does it still exist? Was it destroyed by Sargeras?

Aggramar's answer was very mysterious. He said that he still maintains contact with that world. That world has not been destroyed, but its distance from Azeroth is unimaginable for mortals, even for the great lord. Speaking of it, it was an extremely terrifying distance. Aggramar also asked Tyrion, if one day, the great lord roaming in the sea of ​​death stars discovers his planet, please take care of him.

Unfortunately, the worlds that gave birth to other titans have all been destroyed by the Burning Legion.

In short, the relationship between the young Titans and their cradle planet is very close. Once the world civilization suffers heavy damage, it will also affect the souls of the Titans bred in the world, and even distort the originally noble arcane spirits The mutation...

Just like at this time, the Titan Argus in front of the High Lord... Argus the Destroyer.

When Sargeras cleansed the whole world with evil energy, the planet spirit in the Argus world was still immature. At that time, it was sleeping in the core of the Argus world just like Elune, but it was far stronger than Elune. En grew stronger and more smoothly, because the world of Argus was not infected by the Void Lords with the ancient gods.

But it is a pity that the dark titan filled the titan's will with evil energy, and let the wreck masters under his command constantly distort Argus' will, coupled with the external withering of this world, that kind of world collapse The extreme pain and the terrifying pressure and devastation caused Argus to completely deviate from the path of the Titans.

He, standing in the world core of Argus world filled with the glory of fel energy, is like a giant soaked in the sea of ​​fel energy. However, there is no sign of darkness and destruction like Aggramar, and the body of the Unmaker is almost indistinguishable from other titans.

Blue skin, strong waist, carrying a slightly strange golden crown of stars on top of the head. The golden crown is like a four-branched steel crown. helmet.

He wears heavy gauntlets on his arms, flowing with the power of a Titan, but full of sharp spikes, which represent the embodiment of Argus' twisted will on his body. He also wears a battle skirt that fits the identity of a Titan. He held a long-handled war scythe that seemed to be intertwined with stars and darkness in his hand. On the blade with the power of annihilation, red anger was burning, which made him look majestic and full of what a Titan should be. majesty.

but...

The great lord noticed that under the helmet of Argus, the face that should have been somewhat similar to that of a draenei...but it had become a face like a skeleton, only covered by the golden helmet He stopped, but under the helmet, the interlaced teeth like white bones could not be concealed, as well as the dark red halo lingering behind his head and shining on his back.

That halo is clearly the gathering of the world-destroying flames produced when the evil energy is advanced to the extreme. This is the appearance of being infected to the limit by the evil energy.

This titan has been warped.

In addition to being distorted by evil energy, the heavy death suffered by the whole world has also infected his body. The skeletalization of his face is just the beginning. If time goes by, it is very likely... he will be soaked deeper by death , even more frightening, even the body of the titan will be completely transformed into a skeleton-like posture.

Argus the Destroyer in front of him is a monster born from the fusion of arcane magic, fel energy and death.

His pure power may indeed not be as good as a titan warrior like Aggramar, but if the Destroyer wakes up, the tide of destruction he unleashes in the dead world of Argus may be more terrifying than Aggramar, and he is already suffering from pain Next, become a true stellar beast.

"Aw!"

The voice of Tyrion resounded in his mind, causing the Nirvana to immediately wake up from his deep sleep. He opened his eyes, and those eyes shining with the light of destruction looked at the great lord in the dead world. He felt the threat, and he clenched the Nirvana The war scythe, roaring at the high lord like a wild beast, that kind of malice, that kind of hostility, hardly concealed.

That doesn't look like the posture that an intelligent creature should have at all, and that doesn't look like the majesty that a noble Titan among the stars should have at all.

Tyrion shook his head when he saw the chaotic light in the eyes of Argus the Destroyer:

"No wonder even Sargeras dared not release you from the core of the world. Your sanity has long since died, and what remains here is only a body full of strength."

"pain..."

Facing the evaluation of the great lord, Argus the Destroyer reacted very simply. He took a step forward, and the power of death he possessed allowed him to step into the realm of death where the great lord was located, just like stepping over the turbulent water. .

The Annihilator roared, raised his scythe with both hands, and slashed at the head of the great lord suspended in the air in front of him. The crimson world-killing fire danced on the blade of the scythe, almost wanting to burn this broken world of death , he is the spirit of the world, he bears the heavy pressure from death, he will no longer be suppressed by the death world.

The dark red war scythe tore through the space, leaving only a band of light filled with darkness wherever it went. It was a void formed by the gathering of cracks in space, and it was also the sharpest thing in the entire group of stars.

Tyrion raised his head, his open right eye looked at the scythe of destruction falling from the sky, the extreme weight attached to the blade of destruction hit the body of the great lord, causing his long hair to fall back, and the black windbreaker on his body It is also hunting.

"hum"

A pale energy blade appeared in his hand, and the straight-edged blade was lifted slightly upwards, like a sharp blade caught in the wind. With a light swing, it precisely hit the top of the scythe blade swung down by Argus, Compared to Argus's mountainous body, the great lord who maintained his original form was like a bug, and the death blade in his hand was like a toothpick, but at this moment, the sharp blade swung by the giant was caught by the toothpick. Easily blocked.

Where the death blade and the scythe meet, a pale light is radiating, like a mirror between the blade and the scythe, separating the two weapons.

"return to!"

The high lord flipped his wrist, and struck out a standard Taeshalach sword technique. The force of the devastating blow hit Argus' scythe, causing the twisted titan to take a few steps back.

Forcibly awakened by evil energy, the pure power of Argus the Unmaker, who has entered the mature stage, is not a little bit weaker than the genuine mature titan Aggramar.

The great lord did not go forward to pursue, he stretched out his hand, and took off the black blindfold of his left eye. In the gemstone inlaid in the left eye, the reflection of death danced in Tyrion's eyes, and the dead world reappeared in front of his eyes. Composed of interlaced phantoms of life and death.

Argus the Destroyer bears the grievous death of the whole world, and those deaths that should not happen are entwined on his body and soul like fate. Compared with Aggramar's body, there is only a thread of death. On Si's body, the black lines of death were as dense as spider webs.

He is a distorted life, the moment he wakes up, the world that conceived him has died, and this death is engraved in his soul.

He should have been stronger, but alas, Sargeras destroyed him.

In the past few epochs, the Titan power of Argus was absorbed by Sargeras, providing supplies and power for the Burning Legion, making the demons in this world more frequent and making these demons stronger. Those demons are like the maggots on Argus' body, constantly eating away at Argus' strength and body.

His strength is the strength of pain and suffering, not real strength.

He... like Elune, was supposed to be just a child...

"What a broken and sad soul..."

Tyrion saw the fragmented soul in the body of the Destroyer in front of him, the will to be forcibly blended together, just like a really ugly soul stitcher.

The fate of Elune, the world spirit of Azeroth, is tragic. She is like a sick child among the Titans. Although she has terrifying potential, her growth is extremely difficult under the pressure of void corruption.

And her brother Argus did not suffer from such void corrosion and torture, but the pain Argus suffered in this world is not much worse than that of Elune. Even, in terms of torture and imprisonment, Elune is already worse than Argus was very lucky, at least, the girl's soul was not torn apart, but glued together again.

If Elune sees Argus' soul posture, then the girl will probably be frightened into a nightmare.

This idea came to the mind of the great lord, and he no longer hesitated. Every second the creature in front of him lived would be a torture to that sad soul. Argus should have died long ago. If this titan had his own will, I'm afraid He would have preferred to kill himself the moment the world of Argus fell.

die...

Liberation's death was 25,000 years late.

Fortunately, it finally came.

"Rest in peace, tormented soul."

The great lord leaned slightly towards Argus in front of him, and then rushed towards Argus like a predatory black shadow. The distorted will of Argus the Annihilator felt an extreme threat, and all the strength in his body exploded at this moment .

The power of evil energy gathered into a world-destroying flame flying all over the sky.

The power of death manifests itself as the dark spikes of the war scythe.

Arcane power calls upon the spirits of the stars to fight for him.

More than a dozen spirits of the stars, like observers, appeared beside the Annihilator, using various Titan spells to try to block the advance of the High Lord, while Argus himself was surrounded by the flames and spikes of the annihilation of all things. , raised the scythe, howled like a trapped animal, and slashed at Tyrion's body.

"NO HOPE! NO SALVATION! ONLY PAIN! PAIN!!!"

Crazy light flashed in the eye sockets of the skeleton under Argus's mask, and he almost tried his best for this blow.

But all this... is useless.

"swish"

The pale light blade flashed away like lightning in the dark, and time fell silent at this moment. Behind Argus the Unmaker, who was maintaining a slashing posture, the high lord's wrist flipped slightly, and the pale light blade Like a shattered feather of light, the blade of death lingered endlessly in this dark world of death. Behind Tyrion, on the body of Argus the Destroyer, the truncated thread of death was like the arrival of death. Pale grip, let all the pain of Argus the Annihilator disappear at this moment.

Even those arcane spirits summoned by Argus turned into the purest arcane light and dissipated in all directions.

"boom"

The huge body of the Unmaker fell on the ground of the dead world, and his torn and bonded soul finally found peace.

The great lord turned around and looked down at the lifeless body of the titan. He put on the black blindfold on his left eye again, and then let out a sigh.

"Hope will be bred in your death."

"Your body will carry Elune's soul...I can't give you real salvation, Unmaker, but you can at least see with your own eyes the failure of Sargeras' cruel fantasy..."

"rest in peace."

The high lord's hands were interlaced on his abdomen again, as if performing a death mass.

But just when he was about to restrain the body of the titan, at the heart of the body, there was a faint, pure soul fragment with arcane power, which made the high lord raise his eyebrows.

He reached out to pick it up and put it next to his ear...

He can hear the prayers from Argus, from this broken world...

That seems to represent, in the ashes of the hopeless situation, what still exists, the last... rebirth and redemption.

The soul fragments belonging to Argus the Annihilator may be the last sober consciousness of Argus' world spirit, like a weak person with only his last breath left, but still instinctively longing for recovery and redemption.

The great lord looked at the soul fragments in his hand, he was a little uncertain for a while, and then he looked at Azeroth through the fog of the dead world...

After a while, an idea slowly took shape in his mind.

"You will see, Sargeras."

"A truly perfect era!"
