I've had enough of Malygos' stupidity. I've had enough of playing heart-pounding games with this lunatic every now and then.
Duke finally overturned the table of his mind in anger.
He spoke with a serious face and in the most serious expression and tone.
"I never hesitate to imagine the worst situation with the greatest malice. So, of the two things before us, Loken's scandal has been confirmed. Although he concealed it very well, I smelled a bad smell on him - the smell of the Old God Yogg-Saron."
Speaking of Yogg-Saron, everyone looks unhappy.
None of the ancient gods just sit there to do nothing.
I didn't expect that just after I killed 'Thun not long ago, another Old God appeared.
Everyone immediately thought of the issue of the will of the planet. 25,000 years ago, it was because they found that the entanglement between the Old Gods and the Star Souls was too deep. Eliminating several Old Gods at once would only kill the Star Souls. That's why the titans of the Pantheon let them go and sealed them instead.
Twenty-five thousand years have passed, and the soul of Azeroth has gradually grown and begun to have its own will. That's why Duke communicated with the will of the planet in Ahn'Qiraj last time, joined forces with Wyrmrest Temple and Elune, and completely killed 'Thun.
"What's the current condition of Star Soul..." asked Calia.
Duke shook his head: "The last time was equivalent to cutting flesh to heal a wound. Although the abscess has been removed, the wound will eventually heal, but not so quickly. Star Soul has only survived the most dangerous period."
"Let's talk about Yogg-Saron first!" said the Red Dragon Queen.
Duke certainly knew what she was thinking. If the situation on Yogg-Saron's side was more serious, as the guardian dragon, she would have reason to deal with the Old God first and then deal with Malygos.
Duke did not refuse, he told the history he knew:
Loken is a watcher of the Old Gods created by the titans in Azeroth and the guardian of the outside of Ulduar.
In addition to the five-colored dragons, the titans who stayed in this world to protect it also included eight titan Guardians who were their colleagues and predecessors of the same status. Among them, Loken was one of the titan Guardians, and he represented wisdom.
Others include five titan Guardians of Storm, Winter, Life, Order, and Invention, Odin, the Seneschal of Ulduar, Grand Guardian Ra-den, and a Guardian of the Creator Engine.
Located in the north of Northrend and east of Icecrown, Ulduar is the largest of the three laboratories built by the titans on Azeroth. Its purpose is to develop perfect creatures, and the evolution of creatures takes time. Since the titans will not stay on the same planet for too long, they visit and observe every once in a while to confirm the progress.
There are many assistants and servants in the laboratory to assist in management, all of which are created by the titans themselves. When the titans visited for the second time, they found that the laboratory was invaded by the Old Gods and the entire planet was ruled by them. After fighting these tenacious enemies, they found that they could not be completely eliminated because they deeply infected the laboratory, so they used a seal to seal them deep underground in Azeroth. The most serious infection in Ulduar was Yogg-Saron, and he was also sealed here. The entire laboratory was sealed;
The name Yogg-Saron was first mentioned in Grizzly Hills, where there is a withered world tree, Vordrassil. If you have a good relationship with the bear monsters, they will tell adventurers that in ancient times, the night elf druids planted this world tree, but because the roots were too deep, they even reached the lair of the ancient god Yogg-Saron.
The dark power of the Old Gods began to leak out, and the night elf druids were afraid that Vordrassil would cause a huge disaster, so they destroyed the World Tree. Later, some bear monsters living nearby began to replant the broken Vordrassil and planned to revive the giant bear god Ursoc who died in the War of the Ancients. In the end, Ursoc was resurrected by the bear monsters, but he had been contaminated by the Old Gods.
With the help of adventurers, some bear monsters finally purified Ursoc with the purified Dust of Vordrassil.
After introducing this terrible history of pollution, Duke concluded: "Now everyone has an idea of Yogg-Saron's pollution ability, right? Loken is not the head of the titan Guardians established by the Pantheon in Azeroth. I received news that Odin, the administrator of Ulduar, has exiled himself. The conditions of other guardians are not normal, and I detected the smell of Yogg-Saron in the video communication sent by the other party..."
At this point, Duke put his hands heavily on the table: "I can be absolutely sure that Loken, the King of Wisdom, has fallen into madness. He has been corrupted by the Old Gods, secretly murdered other guardians, and tampered with the records of Ulduar."
"Hiss—" Everyone gasped. Everyone was used to the whispers and erosion of the Old Gods. In front, the guardian dragon Neltharion was corrupted, and here a guardian rebelled, which was not unacceptable in their hearts.
Duke had seen Sargeras' past from Medivh, so no one disbelieved what he said.
For a time, everyone felt under great pressure.
A Lich King is troublesome enough, and an Old God also appears at the same time. If we leave it alone, it will be a huge trouble! Now there is also a Blue Dragon King involved...
Just as Alexstrasza was about to say something, Duke slammed the table and said, "Alexstrasza, you don't have to persuade me. Malygos' matter involves my foundation in Asgard. If I go all out to attack Ulduar or Icecrown Citadel, and Malygos breaks through my magic network, I will be doomed. I will not set foot in Ulduar or Icecrown until the Malygos incident is resolved."
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies.
Malygos, who claims to be the king of magic in the world of Azeroth, and Duke, who controls the magic network, even though they claim to be in different fields, are ultimately involved in the distribution of a core interest - who gets more and who gets less of the elemental energy flowing out from the major elemental realms.
If one is more, the other will naturally be less.
In the past, they were comrades in the same trench, and the pie was big enough, so they could barely get along. Now, no one is optimistic that Malygos will succeed in causing trouble for Arthas, and the variables that follow are huge.
The Red Dragon Queen could understand Duke's actions.
She was stuck in the middle, neither a dragon nor a dragon.
On one side is her brother, and on the other is her most important ally. And the power of mortals is getting stronger and stronger.
The Guardian Dragons themselves have no possibility of increasing their power. But the upper limit of mortals is only at the Star Soul. With Duke, Sylvanas, Vashj and the Qiraji Twin Emperors, the power and opinions of mortals can no longer be ignored.
