Chapter 170

~11 min read 2,080 words

Luode didn't expect that the Burning Legion boss of Karazhan, who was actually following Sargeras's orders, had come here especially to wait for him. According to the original story.

This Ma Ke Zha Er is a high-ranking Eredar, and he has an unclear relationship with Archimonde, one of the three Eredar leaders.

There are even some official comments proving he indeed has a hidden bloodline connection with Archimonde.

Originally Prince Malchezaar had come to invade the world of Azeroth, but for some unknown reason he was accidentally teleported to Karazhan, and then he was trapped here.

"You say you're here especially to wait for me? The Burning Legion should, ought not to know I'm coming to Karazhan, right?"

"I originally should have gone to Outland to find you, but because of some accidents I ended up here; I never expected to meet you here." Ma Ke Zha Er showed great humility.

This mission wasn't arranged by those two bigshots Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, but by the higher-ranking Burning Legion founder, Supreme Commander Lord Sargeras, and he dare not be the slightest bit negligent.

"Hmm! Kael'thas! You take those two and stay here a while, I'll go and come back." Luode turned his head and glanced at his subordinate.

Then he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, his Haki, causing several women besides Kael'thas and Bulin to faint.

"Lord Luode! Looks like it's time for me to show my skills again; you can rest assured, I'll erase this memory for them."

"Be careful, Lord Luode." Kael'thas said.

The demons of the Burning Legion are not to be trifled with, and this time Luode is to meet the legendary Sargeras.

The legendary Dark Titan.

Luode nodded at the two, then turned and left.

"How are we supposed to summon Sargeras?"

"I've already prepared everything; this is a summoning device I brought from the Burning Legion, capable of summoning Lord Sargeras's projection."

Ma Ke Zha Er finished speaking, took out a mechanical device and placed it on the ground, then summoned some fel imps around it and began drawing their fel energy.

Soon the device reacted, a huge figure engulfed in flames, with a pair of massive wings and demon horns, appearing before Luode.

"Mortal! I heard you brought me news of a world soul, an undiscovered world soul uncorrupted by the Void; I hope you're not lying, otherwise your soul will suffer eternally."

"That's right, Sargeras; I've brought you news of a world soul, and this is just an appetizer."

"I also have a way to deal with the Void Lord, a method to counter the Void Lord." Luode spoke.

Sargeras's aura is truly mighty, befitting a Dark Titan; even facing just a projection, Luode felt immense pressure.

This pressure is stronger than Azeroth's, but fortunately Luode has now ascended to a demigod-level lifeform, and his Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki have been trained to the peak.

If it's merely a virtual image, it still can't affect me.

"?? You lot of mortals simply don't understand, you simply don't grasp how terrifying the Void is."

"However, if you can provide a world soul's news, I'll already be quite satisfied; I'll make you one of the Burning Legion's commanders." Sargeras spoke.

He currently controls two Titans in his hand: one is his former lieutenant Aggramar, the other is the Death Titan Argus.

These two beings are its trump cards against the Void; the Burning Legion's demons are just cannon fodder.

Even Kil'jaeden and Archimonde, in Sargeras's eyes, are just slightly bigger cannon fodder; in the future war against the Void, only Titan-level beings can be helpers.

If an unknown world soul and Azeroth could both successfully awaken and join his side, then more than five Titan-level forces could fight the Void.

The premise is that this world soul's news is true.

"On this point, I absolutely haven't deceived you, Sargeras; I know the exact location where a world soul slumbers." Luode spoke.

"Tell me its exact coordinates."

Luode smiled, then tore open a space, and using the energy of the Space Stone, he added some stabilizing effects; the other side of the space is Marvel Earth.

"I possess the power to freely travel between other universes, Lord Sargeras; on that planet sleeps a world soul, or rather, in that world his name is the Celestial." Luode spoke.

Opening such a temporarily stable portal consumes a lot of Luode's energy, so it can only last a minute or two.

However, to give Sargeras a reassurance pill, all this is worth it, frankly speaking.

Luode never expected Sargeras to be so eager to meet him; his original plan was to kill the Demon Hunter Illidan first, then summon Sargeras to negotiate.

But he didn't expect Sargeras to actually send his subordinates straight over, and by some strange twist they met in Karazhan.

It seems the news of a world soul is extraordinarily important to this Dark Titan; he doesn't even want to wait an extra minute.

Sargeras's projection didn't even look at Luode; instead, it stared fixedly at the opposite world, the Earth of the Marvel Universe, and then slowly began to sense.

Although he himself is merely a virtual image, this man opening the portal still allows Sargeras to glimpse the full picture of the other planet.

With Titan-level strength, he faintly perceives the situation there.

"I sense a powerful lifeform deep within the Earth's core; it is indeed a world soul, you haven't deceived me, mortal."

"Excellent! Open a portal and let my true form descend into that world." Sargeras's tone was somewhat excited.

An uninfected world soul, a world soul about to be born, is extremely precious to him.

"I hope this world soul won't be as stubborn and naive as Argus; otherwise I'll only be able to make another slave."

"Lord Sargeras, haven't you noticed? I'm talking about the world soul of another world; I just said his name is the Celestial." Luode gave a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Sargeras visibly froze, then widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Is the world over there not our universe? Neither the Twisting Nether nor the Dark Void, but another unknown world?" "That's right, Lord Sargeras! It's a completely new universe, one without the threat of the Dark Void."

"No Void Lord sending Old Gods to corrupt the world soul, so I say there is here a way to deal with the Void Lord." Luode spoke.

"My guess is correct; our Pantheon's guess is correct; there has long been a hypothesis that besides our world,

there should be other worlds existing, even countless such universes, but that has always been merely theoretical."

"No one has ever been able to prove it; mortal! You actually managed to discover an alien universe, a brand‑new universe untouched by the Void's forces."

At this moment, Sargeras looked upon Luode with high regard, his value even surpassing Kil'jaeden, even Argus.

At this moment, even Ma Ke Zha Er standing beside him felt a bit unsettled; he never expected there to be a completely new unknown universe, and this isn't just a planet!

The Burning Legion, though called the Destroyer of Worlds, only destroys some planets in the mortal universe.

"How long can you keep this portal open? Can you take me over?" Sargeras asked.

"Of course not, Lord Sargeras, I cannot bring over a being as powerful as you, and even I myself can only temporarily glimpse that world.

"On that planet, there exists a very powerful being; even I can only act with caution." Luode said.

At the same time, they closed the portal connecting to the Marvel World; keeping this thing open consumes a lot of energy, and moreover, Sa Zong has already taken the bait.

"If you can summon me over, those insignificant mortals basically can't resist me; that planet's Titan, or the cosmic celestial clan you mentioned, will become my subordinates." Sargeras said.

One could also take the opportunity to explore a new world; who knows, in the new universe there might really be a way to defeat the Void.

Sargeras! In another world, there is a kind of very miraculous treasure called the Infinity Stones.

They are forged from the essences of six singularities that contained infinite energy before the Big Bang.

Infinity Stones are the most powerful treasures in the universe; they can control the six forces within the universe: space, soul, mind, time, power, and reality.

Gathering all six Infinity Stones allows one, according to the user's own will, to exert a tremendous influence or change upon the entire universe.

For example, a mortal-level life form could snap its fingers and even erase half of all life in the universe, disregarding any rules or laws.

It can even reshape the entire universe.

Just imagine, if you obtained six such Infinity Stones, what a scene that would be.

You could easily defeat the Void Overlord, with no need to burn this world to ashes." Luode spoke.

If there truly existed such an infinitely powerful primal treasure, then in our world it would theoretically be useless." Sargeras let out a cold snort.

Such a treasure that can command primal power, once it leaves its original universe, is no different from junk; as the supreme being of this universe, Sargeras knows that.

Indeed useless, Sargeras; I have already proven this, for I have contacted two stones—time and space—and even stole a trace of their energy; after coming to our world, it granted me great benefit.

Luode took out two crystals; one storing the power of the Space Stone emitted a deep blue light, the other storing the power of the Time Stone emitted an emerald green light.

Gazing at these two energy bodies, Sargeras fell into silence; this is indeed not the energy of their universe, nor one of the six primal forces.

What do you want to say, mortal? Just say it directly!

If you were to seize six Infinity Stones in another world, you could then analyze the structure of those six Infinity Stones.

With your strongest Titan-level strength and wisdom, I believe, Sargeras, you can certainly accomplish this.

If one could analyze those six Infinity Stones, then after bringing them away from that universe, the stones could also become carriers of our universe's primal forces, and our universe would also have six primal forces.

Since another universe can forge six Infinity Stones,

Then if you mastered this technology, why couldn't you forge an equivalent Infinity Stone? Order, life, death, Holy Light, shadow, fel—six Infinity Stones belonging to our world.

At that point, relying on these six Infinity Stones, you could easily protect this universe and defeat the Void." Luode

This is a kind of high-level deception; Sargeras is extremely arrogant, extremely proud and conceited.

The former Queen Àisàlā wanted to marry him, but Sargeras never regarded Queen Àisàlā as a person; he only wanted Àizélāsī.

Because after Àizélāsī is born, its power will surpass his, making it a good ally against the Void.

But now, Luode has given him a completely new universe, a completely new set of rules, another world.

If the gem bearing the six primal forces were brought to your own world, Sargeras, could you not forge six similar gems to master our universe's six primal powers?

Since the top life-form of another universe can do it, you, Sargeras, have no reason not to be able to do it either? The Infinity Stones cannot be taken out of the Marvel world, so why not just forge our universe's six Infinity Stones? The same six primal forces!

This plan is indeed feasible, provided I must obtain those six Infinity Stones and analyze their forging principles." Sargeras spoke.

This indeed gave him a new inspiration; one cannot deny that this proposal is very tempting.

So what is your decision, Sargeras?" Luode looked toward Sargeras.

I need to go to that world, but you cannot bring me there." Sargeras spoke.

Perhaps we can use another method to bring you there; remember you have the ability to create a clone, and that demon hunter called Illidan is very suitable as a vessel for you—you would occupy Illidan's body, and then I will bring you to another world." Luode spoke.

Poor egg, make another sacrifice.

Great! Your proposal I accept; from now on you are the third commander of the Burning Legion, your status equal to that of Ākèméngdé and Jī'ěrjiādān; I will personally imbue you with powerful fel energy when I find the time.
