After this time jump, when Roy found that he had come to the period of the War of the Ancients, he roughly realized what he had to do in this time node.

Of course, his understanding of what he wanted to do came from some historical events that later generations had learned. From beginning to end, Roy was strictly following the historical line. The purpose of doing this was naturally to ensure that he could successfully complete the closed time loop and play the final notes of the Movement to the End of Reincarnation.

In other words, in a sense, the infinite dragon Murozond’s plan had failed. He had exiled Roy into the spacetime flux because he wanted to use Roy’s demon nature to disrupt the timeline arbitrarily. But Roy’s restraint of his actions exceeded Murozond’s imagination. This instead fulfilled the bronze dragon Nozdormu’s goals because Roy had also become a ‘protector’ of history.

Of course, what Roy was maintaining was the historical line of his existence, not the original historical line in his memory. From the moment Lilith brought him into this world, there was an additional branch in the River of Time of this world.

During the beginning of the War of the Ancients, Roy stayed in Zin-Azshari. He seemed to be enjoying depravity with nothing to do, but he was actually reducing his presence and not letting his actions affect important historical events too much. After all, if he joined the Burning Legion, it was unknown if the night elves could last until the Well of Eternity exploded.

However, in the Battle of Mount Hyjal in the future, Malfurion, Illidan, Tyrande, and even the Aspects of Azeroth had seen him and had memories of Roy, the King of Despair.

Now that he had seen Illidan, and Tyrande happened to be captured and imprisoned, Roy naturally wanted to go and take a look.

Tyrande had been captured after being heavily injured and falling unconscious in a battle with the demonized elves under Xavius. When they discovered Tyrande, the demonized elves wanted to kill her directly, but at the time, the bright moon was in the sky. At the critical moment before Tyrande fell unconscious, she prayed to Elune for her protection. Then gentle moonlight descended and enveloped Tyrande. Almost all the demonized elves witnessed this scene. After realizing that this priestess of the moon in front of them was a ‘chosen’ favored by Elune, no one, including Xavius, dared to persecute her. They could only bring her back and imprison her in Azshara’s palace.

The first person Xavius reported to was naturally Azshara. After hearing his story, she was naturally very interested in Tyrande. To be honest, Elune’s influence was extraordinary among the night elves. Even though Azshara was determined to follow in the footsteps of the Burning Legion, she still didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Elune.

Azshara was actually envious of Tyrande. This situation was actually very easy to understand. If Elune could favor Azshara and send her miracles and blessings, why would she need to rely on the power of the Burning Legion?

However, when Azshara saw Tyrande, she found that Tyrande had already woken up. The divine protection from Elune enveloped Tyrande in a layer of hazy moonlight. Under the protection of this moonlight, Tyrande actually displayed an invincible attitude. Several demons who arrived first wanted to torture and punish her, but all their methods failed under this hazy moonlight. The demons roared angrily, but there was nothing they could do.

After Azshara saw this scene, the envy in her heart was temporarily overwhelmed by awe. After the demons left, she stood in front of Tyrande with her maid Vashj and openly expressed her admiration for her. She also told Tyrande that if she were willing to become her maid, she would release her.

Azshara still had a very high status in the hearts of the night elves. Even though Tyrande knew that she had been captured because of Azshara’s betrayal of the night elves, she still suppressed her anger when Azshara appeared in front of her. She politely declined Azshara’s recruitment, saying that she would believe in Elune from beginning to end, so she could not become a servant of the queen.

Azshara was very dissatisfied with this, so after casually saying a few words, she turned around and left. As soon as she left, she quietly spoke a few words to Xavius, and then Xavius reported to Roy that he had caught Tyrande.

Yes, Azshara was in awe of Elune, but she could think of a way to get Roy to take action. In her opinion, Tyrande’s ignorance was nothing more than relying on Elune’s protection. But if the King of Despair of the Burning Legion could break this protection, Tyrande’s pride would be shattered.

Tyrande was imprisoned in the palace, and there were guards everywhere to prevent her from escaping. She couldn’t escape, so she could only sing a night elf song under the moonlight outside the window. This song praised Elune, and under her ethereal voice, this song sounded wonderful.

She sang over and over again, thanking Elune for her favor and telling her about her worries about the war. It wasn’t until she was tired from singing that she finally stopped. At this moment, the hazy moonlight around her had already condensed into something substantial.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Applause suddenly came, waking Tyrande up. She turned her head in horror to look who was clapping, only to see a huge figure slowly emerging from the darkness beyond the moonlight.

It was a very terrifying-looking demon. His body was tall, and the demon horns on his head were so majestic. When this demon appeared, Tyrande hadn’t sensed anything at all. Just this alone made her shudder. But what made her feel even more terrified was that when this demon walked under the moonlight, the moonlight seemed to be dimmer, as if it was afraid and avoiding this demon.

Tyrande suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked sharply, “W-who are you?!”

“My name is Osiris…” Roy ignored Tyrande’s fierce appearance and observed the hazy moonlight around her body with interest. “Interesting. Silver-colored holy power? This is the first time I’ve seen it. What is this? Silver Holy Light?”

Moonlight was also a kind of light, but normal moonlight wouldn’t contain such rich holy power. This was why Roy used ‘silver Holy Light’ to describe Elune’s protection.

However, Tyrande ignored Roy’s words. When she heard Roy’s demon name, she was stunned. She never thought that she would see the demon king that made the expressions of Broxigar and the other two change so drastically.

It was not until this moment that Tyrande finally understood Krasus’s description.

After being absent-minded for a while, perhaps because Elune’s protection gave Tyrande courage, she asked Roy, “Osiris, one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, what do you want to do here?”

“Hehehe!” Roy laughed out loud and pointed his index finger at her. “Tyrande Whisperwind, priestess of the moon of the Sisterhood of Elune, the chosen Elune, I’ve heard of you. But… you shouldn’t know my identity. Who told you that I’m a commander of the Burning Legion?”

Of course, Tyrande wouldn’t expose the existence of Broxigar and the other two, so she avoided talking about it and said coldly, “Demon, if you came here to torture me, then let me tell you, stop dreaming. I won’t submit to you. You might be able to bewitch and deceive Queen Azshara, but the people of Elune will eventually expel you from this world!”

“The night elves are not the people of Elune. She didn’t create you. Your ancestors are trolls!” Roy said words that made Tyrande furious while stretching out his finger and poking the sphere of moonlight around her with the sharp claw of his fingertip.

This sphere of moonlight formed a very solid barrier that completely withstood the power of Roy’s fingertip, preventing his sharp nail from piercing deeply. He evaluated and found that this moonlight barrier could completely resist demon king-level attacks. It could be said that, in the current world of Azeroth, even Archimonde might not be able to hurt Tyrande.

Of course, it would be another matter if Roy took action…

This power projection clone had not been given too much magic power energy, but Roy had deliberately adjusted the physical power of this body to a higher level. Moreover, he could transmit stronger physical power to this body at any time. According to his estimation, he could probably adjust it to the Deadly Sin level at the highest, which would trigger the repulsion of the planet’s shield.

How strong was the physical power of the Deadly Sin level? Roy had never tested this before. He only knew that his right claw could easily erupt with millions of tons of grip strength!

Could the divine protection that Elune had cast on Tyrande withstand such a grip?

While guessing, Roy couldn’t help becoming somewhat eager to take action. His right claw subconsciously made a grabbing gesture at Tyrande a few times. Even though Tyrande’s faith in Elune was strong enough, and she believed that Elune’s power was invincible, she still felt a chill in his heart when he saw Roy’s demon claws that were so large that they could pinch her body.

Fortunately, Roy finally resisted this urge. He put down his hand regretfully and grinned sinisterly at Tyrande. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Priestess of the Moon of Elune, tell me, how do you contact your goddess?”

Tyrande found Roy’s question a little strange and blurted out, “How? Isn’t it just praying?”

“Praying?” Roy rubbed his chin thoughtfully before asking another question that dumbfounded Tyrande. “Then… if I pray to Elune, do you think she will respond to me?”
