Chapter 694: Finally Arrived

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As a savior, Illidan was stabbed in the back after saving people. If it were anyone else, they would have been furious, but he was already used to it.

After some treatment, Illidan was out of danger and had time to interrogate a captured demon. But when he heard that the strange humanoid Holy Light creature that flew away just now had actually been imprisoned by the King of Despair, he immediately realized that this might be a specially set trap.

There was no reason. It was just pure intuition. Because in Illidan’s heart, Osiris was even more terrifying than Sargeras…

Back then, following the contract, after Illidan created the second Well of Eternity on Mount Hyjal, he had thrown the sword embryo that Roy had given him into it. Although this transaction seemed to benefit the night elves since they retained the power of the Well of Eternity and could continue to live forever, Illidan knew that the consequences were extremely dire because it would lead to the birth of a weapon with great destructive power, and the owner of the weapon was a demon.

After escaping from the cage, Illidan had thought about whether to return to the Well of Eternity and steal or destroy the hidden sword embryo more than once. But after thinking about it, he didn’t dare to do so. Every time he thought of Osiris’s gaze, which seemed to see through everything, he shuddered because he didn’t know if his actions would fall into Osiris’s calculations. What if… what if destroying the sword brought a catastrophic disaster to all of Azeroth?

It was the same now. Illidan had released a Holy Light creature imprisoned by Osiris. Generally, such a Light creature should bring immense trouble to the demons of the Burning Legion. It was a good thing, but Illidan was a little uncertain…

Time passed quietly. With the help of Kael’thas, Illidan closed all the portals in Outland. He had established his footing in Outland, but such a good life did not last long. With a storm of fury, Kil’jaeden arrived in Outland and appeared before Illidan.

Having seen the power of the commanders of the Burning Legion, Illidan could only submit to the current situation and explain himself to Kil’jaeden. Although Kil’jaeden didn’t believe him, fortunately, he didn’t intend to kill him. The Legion was currently short of manpower; Archimonde was still on resurrection cooldown; and Osiris had disappeared after the battle at Mount Hyjal. Kil’jaeden thought that he had disappeared like before, and it could be said that Kil’jaeden was the only one holding up the entire Legion.

Seeing that Illidan had submitted, Kil’jaeden planned to give him a chance to go to Northrend in Azeroth and kill the Lich King Ner’zhul, who had betrayed the Legion during the invasion.

Illidan could only set off with his troops and return to Northrend to march toward the Frozen Throne. But under Arthas’s lead, the Scourge appeared and blocked Illidan and his troops. The two sides fought and finally decided the victor. Arthas, who had obtained all of Frostmourne’s authority and power blessings, won, while Illidan escaped with serious injuries and returned to Outland.

Illidan thought that he would welcome Kil’jaeden’s wrath because of his failure, but he didn’t expect Kil’jaeden not to appear. While he was on tenterhooks, Illidan retrained his army and formed the Illidari, a demon hunter army that shared the same ideology as him.

After defeating Illidan, Arthas successfully ascended to the Frozen Throne. He swung Frostmourne to shatter the Frozen Throne and then put on the Helm of Domination.

However, Ner’zhul’s will still existed in the Helm of Domination. This was Ner’zhul’s plan to seek freedom. He began to scheme to occupy Arthas’s body, so a prolonged battle for control of the body started on the Frozen Throne.

Ner’zhul initially had the advantage because he had enjoyed the power of the Lich King for longer than Arthas. But Arthas’s character was prouder and more stubborn. In addition, Roy had already fully bestowed Frostmourne to Arthas. With the support of Frostmourne’s endless energy, he shattered Ner’zhul’s will and obtained total control of the Lich King’s power, becoming the new Lich King.

Although Arthas knew that he still had a master behind the scenes, he found that Osiris didn’t leave any more orders in Frostmourne. So after thinking about it, he decided to do as he wanted. He couldn’t wait to start the war to conquer Azeroth.

After knowing that the blue dragonflight had submitted to the King of Despair, Arthas personally took action and reached an alliance with Malygos, so the Scourge received a large number of dragon liches as support.

In order to resist the raging Scourge army, the Alliance and the Horde could only work together again. Dark Ranger Sylvanas, who had broken free from the enslavement of the Lich King and regained free will, joined the Horde with her undead Forsaken. Tirion Fordring, the highlord who had returned to the Alliance, announced that the last resistance organizations in Lordaeron, the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand, had merged to form the Argent Crusade and begin the war against Arthas.

However, Arthas was stronger than in the original history. Roy’s Frostmourne could display its full strength in his hands. During the war, the warriors of the Alliance and the Horde fell one after another. Even though they didn’t hesitate to sacrifice their lives and fight bravely, they still fell before Arthas. Before long, Frostmourne would control them and turn them into enemies to attack the coalition forces.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation happened.

In his despair, Tirion Fordring received a response from the Holy Light when he prayed to it. With a soaring light, a figure he had never seen before appeared from the Holy Light!

It was Archangel Tyrael, whom Illidan had released from the Black Temple some time ago!

For some reason, not only did Tyrael obtain a body, but he was even stronger than before. As he waved the Sword of Justice in his hand, countless dazzling holy lights poured down, and all the coalition warriors who had died in the crusade were resurrected!

Moreover, Tyrael didn’t leave immediately. Under the guidance of his Sword of Justice, the morale of the coalition warriors soared, and they charged at Arthas fearlessly.

Caught off guard by this sudden situation, Arthas become overwhelmed under the siege. Finally, when he wanted to unleash the full might of Frostmourne and fight to the death, Tyrael suddenly attacked. He turned into a straight beam of light and descended from the sky. The Sword of Justice, full of holy energy, collided with Frostmourne in Arthas’s hand.

Under Arthas’s disbelieving gaze, Frostmourne shattered in his hand!

“Who are you?!” Arthas staggered back and pointed angrily at Tyrael.

“Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice from the High Heavens!” Tyrael looked up, allowing everyone present to see the endless Holy Light under his hood. His voice resounded throughout the entire venue. “I am here to defeat the King of Despair, Osiris!”

No one knew what an Archangel was, nor had they heard of the High Heavens. But the powerful Holy Light all over this Archangel couldn’t be faked. So with Tyrael’s help, the coalition army defeated Arthas.

But the power of the Lich King wouldn’t disappear. In order to prevent Azeroth from being ravaged by the Scourge again, Bolvar, the regent of Stormwind City, sacrificed himself. He put on the Helm of Domination and became the new Lich King, completely restraining the power of the Scourge.

Seeing that the war was won, Tyrael disappeared without a word.

The people who believed in Holy Light watched him leave. Although they didn’t know the origin of this Archangel, the believers of Holy Light would forever remember the name Tyrael.

After defeating the Scourge, Azeroth welcomed a short period of peace. The Burning Legion couldn’t worry about the invasion of Azeroth for the time being because Nathreza, the homeworld of the dreadlords, was under attack by Illidan! He brought the Illidari, who had just taken shape, and took advantage of the time when the Legion couldn’t deal with him to make trouble.

Being stabbed in the back by Illidan again incensed the Burning Legion, so the Legion sent reinforcements to help Nathreza. But this attack on Nathreza was a trap set by Illidan. While the reinforcements of the Burning Legion were coming to help, Illidan directly destroyed the portal to Nathreza and reenacted the scene of the War of the Ancients. The destruction of the portal caused an immense energy explosion, turning countless demons into ashes.

Kil’jaeden was overwrought during this period of time. The traitorous Scourge had been destroyed, which was good news, but he couldn’t find the origin of the strange Archangel who had appeared during the war. At the same time, he discovered that the power of the Sunwell in Quel’Thalas had recovered, so he was planning to open a portal through the Sunwell to enter Azeroth. There were many things to deal with, which was why he couldn’t take care of Illidan. As a result, due to this negligence, Illidan managed to cause such a disaster…

The Legion had suffered heavy losses in Nathreza, but Kil’jaeden could only think of a way to take revenge later. His current energy was all on the Sunwell.

Although Illidan’s battle achievements in Nathreza were glorious, there was a fire in his backyard. Vashj, who had followed him to Outland, was killed by druids when she went to the Zangarmarsh to extract natural energy. Moreover, the blood elves led by Kael’thas were suffering from their magic addiction. After discovering that Illidan couldn’t solve it, they rebelled and surrendered to Kil’jaeden. Then they seized a naaru fortress, transformed it into Tempest Keep, and established a large number of magic furnaces to extract energy from the Void to alleviate their magic addiction problem.

Kael’thas returned to Quel’Thalas and promised to save his subjects. In order to achieve his goal, he captured Anveena, the avatar of the Sunwell, in order to reactivate the energy of the Sunwell to welcome Kil’jaeden’s arrival.

Therefore, the dogged-by-bad-luck people of Azeroth were about to start a war around the Sunwell again…

These disturbances in the real world had nothing to do with Roy at the moment. He was sitting in the starship and sailing in the Void, heading toward the place where Lilith had called out. But the vastness of the Void exceeded his imagination. This voyage had been so long that he had yet to reach it after several years.

But during the voyage in the Void, Roy finally vaguely saw some life that existed here. These Void creatures had all kinds of strange appearances, but there were not many of them. Moreover, they seemed to be very flustered, as though they were avoiding something. When they discovered foreign objects like Roy’s starship, they didn’t even come up to look curiously but avoided it from afar.

Perhaps they’re escaping from a Void Lord’s devouring? Roy guessed. He vaguely sensed the way to find Void Lords in the Void…

After an unknown amount of time passed, when Roy was tired of seeing the scenery in the Void, Rafaro finally reported to him that an unknown object had appeared in front of him.

Roy perked up and looked out through the porthole. Then he found that a light spot had suddenly appeared in the dark, endless Void. As Rafaro sailed, this light spot was slowly growing larger. At the same time, Roy could feel the thoughts coming from Lilith becoming clearer and clearer.

It seemed like it was there…
