Chapter 169

"Let's speak plainly! Chromie, what do you want to do? Or rather, what does the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu want to do?" Luode asked directly, let's lay it all out! Stop fucking speaking in riddles.

The combat strength of these Bronze Dragons, Luode used to recall only a third of it, but now, heh! You've feared me for three years.

Bronze Dragons can indeed manage timelines, but in terms of combat power, they aren't particularly strong compared to the other five great dragons.

Moreover, I now have the energy of the Time Gem in my hand, so their proud time magic is useless against me.

"My mission is to invite you to the Cavern of Time to meet the King of Time; the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu wishes to see you." Chromie took a deep breath and stated her ultimate purpose.

"After seeing me, then? Because I've destroyed what you call the sacred timeline, are you going to deal with me?" Luode asked with a smile.

"No, no, we won't act against you. Although you've altered the timeline, you yourself are part of the timeline; you have already become part of it."

A new future is currently forming, and none of us knows what it will be like.

But as long as the Infinite Dragonflight didn't break the timeline, we don't need to worry about it anymore." Chromie said.

As long as the timeline wasn't disrupted by the Infinite Dragonflight, it is a normally developing timeline; these Bronze Dragons cannot make any changes, only observe.

"Sorry, I don't believe you. Although you're pretty cute, I refuse to go with you to the Cavern of Time; my future, my fate are in my own hands, not some illusory timeline."

"If one could truly alter the timeline, heh! Even those Titans wouldn't have been wiped out by Sargeras." Luode said.

"You actually know about the Titans being wiped out? Demigod lord, please come with me for a trip! If you're unwilling, I may have to take some hard measures." The little loli's hand glowed with golden magical light.

A surge of time power enveloped Luode, but Luode turned his head and let out a mocking laugh.

A ring on his hand shone with green light, instantly canceling the opponent's time field.

After returning to the world of Azeroth, he used the power of the Time Gem to forge a ring, storing some temporal energy within it.

"This, how is this possible? You, you also possess temporal power, and it's even superior to ours!" Chromie was instantly shocked, looking at Luode with utter disbelief.

"Don't think temporal power is exclusive to you Bronze Dragons; I also command temporal power, I just don't usually want to use it." Luode said.

"Since you also have temporal power, Lord Luode, you should understand."

"What should I understand? I don't exist in this timeline, so I want to end myself, directly kill myself, or ask you Bronze Dragons to help me kill myself?"

The green temporal power aura flared, instantly enveloping the Bronze Dragon Chromie, and her weak temporal power was immediately suppressed.

Feel the power of the Time Gem! "Wuu… No, we Bronze Dragons don't mean that, great demigod, we really just want to have a chat with you."

"The King of Time wants to know your ultimate purpose, which side you're on? I merely came to invite you."

"But you just clearly said you'd settle this with force; I won't pretend I didn't hear that!" Luode retorted in a teasing tone.

I won't be fooled by your appearance; on the surface you're a little loli, but actually you're an adult Bronze Dragon, and your combat strength among the Bronze Dragonflight should be second only to Murozond.

"Listen, Chromie, go tell the King of Time that I have no intention of destroying anything; my ultimate goal is to protect Azeroth, no matter what I do, the final aim is this."

Moreover, don't think the Titans are so great; the newly born Azeroth isn't a Titan either, and to some extent, from Azeroth's perspective.

Titans and those ancient gods aren't really different; the timeline you maintain.

It's just that the Titans have you maintain it, and Azeroth will become a timeline of the Titans—don't get it wrong." Luode said.

Even in the latest setting, you aren't granted power directly by the Titans, but by the Titan Keepers; the prestige of the Five Great Dragonflight has been continuously declining! "What? This, how is this possible? Great Titans, great Titans, Azeroth itself is a Titan! An unborn Titan." Chromie exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph! I am a demigod born of Azeroth's power, so I have the greatest right to represent Azeroth in Azeroth's eyes."

Titans or ancient gods, essentially there isn't much difference.

They all want Azeroth to become their companion; Azeroth is the world's soul, the planet's soul, she isn't necessarily the Titan you speak of." Luode said. Luode said, Ajiu actually wants to control the six primal forces at birth, while the Titans merely control one primal force.

"How is this possible? You, you've spoken with Azeroth, she, she isn't even willing to talk to us!" Chromie looked astonished; this wild demigod before us actually conversed with the Azeroth world-soul! Considering he is a masterpiece of the Azeroth world-soul, if he hadn't spoken with it, that would be strange!

In the end, Chromie left helplessly, having failed to complete the King of Time's task; Luode was unwilling to return with him to the Cavern of Time.

However, the timeline of Mount Hyjal has been disrupted for a while; she can still look for people to help, and as for the other timelines, just finding a few adventurers will settle them.

Just kidding, what benefit is there in going to the Battle of Mount Hyjal? Going to fight Archimonde would only appeal to that battle maniac Kaido.

If you say you'll take me to the ancient war, I could consider it; back then I could grab two bottles of water from the Well of Eternity, and the Mount Hyjal battle would be waived!

Killing them wouldn't even drop gear; it's just thankless effort. You go find those Alliance and Horde warriors to help you! I'm not sticking around—I still have to go to Karazhan! After Karazhan I'll be busy dealing with Illidan, then meeting with Sargeras.

Formally begin my plan to swindle Sargeras.

After shaking off the Bronze Dragon Chromie, Luode led everyone back to Azeroth, arriving at Karazhan via the cursed lands' reverse wind path, and through a portal summoned Kael'thas and the Grand Astromancer Solanian.

"The situation is just like this; we are about to explore this mage's tower. All magical competition knowledge inside, we will pack it all up and take it away." Luode explained his plan to everyone.

"No problem, Lord Luode, I'm also very interested in the guardians' things." Kael'thas nodded; as a former member of the Kirin Tor Six-Person Council, he also participated in the creation of the guardians back then.

The guardians are essentially the living weapons of the Dalaran Kirin Tor Council, the most powerful weapon, but with Aegwynn's betrayal, this living weapon lost control.

Luode nodded at everyone, then, through the power of the spatial teleportation gate, directly brought everyone into Karazhan.

You need to complete the door-opening task, but I don't need to.

Karazhan was originally a refuge built by the previous generation's guardian Medivh, and later it was remodeled by the dark titan, making this place completely different.

There are a large number of Stormwind ghosts here, all killed by Sargeras back then; these noble human spirits pose no threat to Luode.

Luode directly transformed them into the purest soul energy, giving them a physical release.

As for the other minor enemies, the remnants of Medivh's father, and a butler named Moroes, at midnight, Luode easily dealt with them, and the party pressed forward.

Along the way, Luode collected all the magical tomes; the librarian of the magical archive created by Medivh, and the satyr demon, were also easily defeated by Luode.

In a room, the party also discovered a void drake, which is a fully mature void dragon whose body has become completely transparent.

It is a kind of spirit dragon, and Luode's Soul Fruit ability is his greatest counter; without any effort, Luode squeezed it into the purest soul energy, a soul energy of the void dragon type.

A certain titan-forged pure maiden was also dealt with by Kael'thas and the two astromancers.

For Luode, this dungeon posed basically no difficulty; the party proceeded all the way to the top of the tower, and Luode did not deal with the Nightmare Luode, but instead left him for the later Alliance and Horde.

Anyway, you only need this one boss; all the collectibles in Karazhan, various magical tomes, and the research notes of Medivh and Aegwynn mother and son were all packed up by Luode.

After arriving at the top of Karazhan's tower, the party entered a distorted world.

"Be careful, Lord Luode, this place seems connected to the twisted void; there must be some demonic creatures lurking here." Kael'thas said, frowning as he surveyed the surroundings.

"Are you Lord Luode? I have come under the orders of Lord Sargeras specifically to find you." A blue Eredar appeared before everyone.

Luode didn't expect that the final boss of Karazhan would be waiting for him, and that it too was acting under Sargeras's command.

"I am Ma Ke Zha Er, Prince of Airuida, I have been ordered to come and make contact with you; Lord Sagelasi wishes to speak with you personally." He was originally supposed to be sent to the outer realm, but due to some accident he got lost and ended up here.

"However, it is still quite fortunate to have encountered the target person one was looking for here."
