Chapter 176

Luode narrowed his eyes, having forgotten to activate Observation Haki during the recent fight; he didn't expect this girl to be here.

In this timeline, shouldn't you have been locked up? I actually launched a preemptive strike on the Black Temple!

Even Illidan hasn't sent demon hunters to Mǎdùn to seize the Sargeras Keystone yet!

"Cough cough! Mawei? It's you who saved me?" Illidan struggled to his feet, looking at the woman before him, somewhat incredulous.

"Don't get the wrong idea, Illidan; your heinous crimes are absolutely unforgivable, but I will personally slay you." Mawei glanced at Illidan.

"Heh heh! I'm saving our world; none of you understand—I am your savior." Illidan let out a self-mocking laugh.

"How did you end up here? I'm a bit stuck." Luode had his hands behind his back, looking at the two before him.

Why would Mawei be here? Could it be that that two-faced Akama has caused trouble again?

"Hmph! Great demigod, you actually know me? How fortunate!"

"However, you are a creation of Azeroth; Azeroth trusts you so much to protect her, yet you have joined the Burning Legion." Mawei looked at Luode, revealing a look of contempt.

After chasing Illidan for so many years in Outland, she finally heard a bit of good news: the Horde and Alliance coalition had already launched an attack, and moreover a Wild Demigod had come to assist.

But now, this Wild Demigod, who was originally the hope of the coalition, has actually defected to the Burning Legion, dealing Mawei a heavy blow.

Although Illidan, that wretch deserving of death by a thousand cuts, ought to die horribly, yet a demigod's betrayal of Azeroth is something she must report to the Horde and Alliance.

I originally just came to the Black Temple to gather some useful intel, but I didn't expect that upon entering I'd discover the Black Temple had been invaded, with demigod subordinates attacking here.

Mawei was initially excited, thinking she could get up close and personally strike Illidan hard in the back.

But upon reaching the top of the Black Temple, she saw this scene: the demigod had actually turned into a demon's form.

Although Illidan was beaten to a pulp, making her feel satisfied, she still chose to intervene and rescue that scoundrel.

"Demigod, look at your current state—what's the difference between you and Illidan?"

"The difference is huge, Miss Mawei—just look." Luode instantly shed his demon form, returning to his Wild Demigod aspect, radiating brilliant and mighty life energy.

Even the surrounding land began to sprout flowers and grasses, a breath of life and nature blowing over.

"How is this possible? This is impossible—you've accepted fel power; you couldn't possibly retain this form." Illidan showed an expression of disbelief.

"We both gained fel power, yet you turned into a demon, despised by all, while I retain this holy form—are you jealous, Illidan?" Luode said, glancing at Illidan.

"Impossible—what kind of trick is this? Are you using some unknown spell? You only just took this form; you just cast fel magic—I would never mistake it." Illidan roared.

He couldn't accept it, couldn't accept any of this! He had sacrificed everything—his golden eyes since birth, his night elf form—becoming completely a demon creature, only then mastering the great power of fel.

But this demigod before him, whose newly assumed demon form was basically the opposite of his own, yet the other hadn't been corrupted by fel and still retained his demigod form—this was absolutely impossible!

Yet the surrounding life force could not be faked.

"No need to deceive yourself, Illidan—you have ghostly sight, able to see what ordinary people cannot.

So whether I've deceived you or not, you see it crystal clear—no mistake!

"I simultaneously command both fel and life power." Luode smiled, and once again a surge of mighty life energy burst from him.

This feeling was like a spring breeze, making one feel extremely refreshed; Mawei even thought, if she hadn't just witnessed with her own eyes the other turning into a demon,

the creature before her was indeed a Wild Demigod, and moreover the strongest one.

"I don't know how you manage to command both life and fel, but that doesn't change the fact that you've defected to the Burning Legion."

"Heh heh! Then do you know what the Burning Legion's ultimate purpose is? Do you know what Azeroth thinks? I became a demigod by personally accepting Azeroth's power." Luode posed a counter-question.

"The Burning Legion's ultimate goal is to destroy all life in the universe and annihilate all worlds." Illidan answered Luode's question on Mawei's behalf.

"The Burning Legion's main aim is to oppose the Void Lord; the only enemy Sargeras truly cares about is the Void itself!" Luode shook his head.

Even the Burning Legion has now abandoned its invasion plans; if my plan could be adopted by Sargeras and succeed, then obviously my plan would be far more suitable for dealing with the Void.

However, upon joining the Legion, a brand-new invasion—an expedition against all heavens and worlds—has begun.

Moreover, according to some little rumor, the Glass Shard Uncle Party leaked information.

In the later plot, Sargeras will also be redeemed and return alongside Illidan to help players fight the Void forces.

"That's merely Sargeras's excuse."

"So Illidan, you keep saying everything you do is for Azeroth, but the harm you've inflicted on Azeroth and Outland is actually no less than that of the Burning Legion.

Even if I didn't come here today, the future Alliance and Horde will still come to defeat you." Luode looked at Illidan.

"Prove to me you're a demigod! Are your words true!" Mawei said, looking at Luode.

Hmph! I don't need to prove anything to you; I've already said enough, and you won't remember everything I said.

Luode's Conqueror's Haki pressed toward Mawei, making her dazed, and instantly appeared behind Mawei, then grabbed her neck in one grip, directly knocking out this female night elf watcher.

The demon hunters following Illidan were all his loyal supporters.

No matter how cruel something Illidan does, they will say that Illidan's purpose in doing so is for Azeroth.

Tch! Konoha's top loyalist Danzo still wants to say that I'm doing all this for Konoha! Even his own prince refuses to acknowledge it, these turncoats.

Luode is one who does not stay, but this female night elf can stay, and then we'll sweet-talk her properly.

Oh! Right, I remember there's a night elf demon hunter named Oturius; this guy might be able to be recruited.

He himself is at odds with Illidan; even if he knows all of Illidan's plans, he still doesn't believe his own mentor Illidan.

"I, uh!" Illidan hadn't finished speaking when Luode grabbed his throat.

"Bye-bye! I'll take good care of Tyrande." Luode said.

"You! Uh-ah!"

Luode's hands forcefully snapped Illidan's neck, completely ending this demon hunter's life, then using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit combined with warlock skills, forcibly seized Illidan's soul.

After searching the corpse, Luode found three bottles of spring water from Illidan's small pouch.

Each bottle emitted an immensely powerful arcane aura, unmatched in strength.

Luode took out one bottle and then gave it to Kaiersas.

"Here you go! This is the spring water from the Eternal Well; as long as you have this, you can save your people and return to the Isle of Quel'Danas to restore the Sunwell." Luode said.

The words he has spoken, the promises he has made, will definitely be fulfilled; this is how Luode conducts himself.

As long as you follow me, I'll have a bite of meat, and I'll definitely make sure my subordinates get a bite too—I won't let you just drink soup.

Kai Er Sa Si's hands trembled with excitement as he eagerly took the bottle of Eternal Well spring water from Luode's hands.

Even tears of excitement flowed from his eyes, the thing he had longed for.

At last, the thing that could truly save the blood elf race is in hand; with this bottle of Eternal Well spring water, he can restore the Sunwell and revive the glory of Quel'thalas.

Now Kai Er Sa Si can't wait to return to the world of Azeroth to save his own people.

"Lord Luode, how should we deal with this woman?" Ma Ke Zha Er glanced aside at the female night elf who had collapsed unconscious.

"This is none of your concern. Now lead your demon subordinates to first take control of this dark temple; afterwards I need you to cooperate and put on a show." Luode said.

The Azeroth allied forces have arrived—we can't just not fight them! So we must arrange a good show for them.

Give this burning crusade a finale, with the audience being the Azeroth allied forces' Horde and Alliance, and the actor being Luode himself.

This time, I must properly reap a wave of reputation from the allied forces.

"Great commander, my demon troops will immediately take over this temple." Ma Ke Zha Er said.

"Remember to find more cannon fodder troops."

After Luode finished speaking, he hoisted Ma Wei onto his shoulder, taking Kai Er Sa Si away from the top of the dark temple.

"Lord Luode! What other plans did you just mention?" Kai Er Sa Si looked at Luode with some doubt.

"The Horde and Alliance armies must not have come for nothing; they'll soon attack the dark temple." Luode revealed a smile with deep meaning.

"But the dark temple has already been conquered by us, hasn't it? Illidan is already dead!" Kai Er Sa Si asked, confused.

"Hehe! Let me tell you secretly, I still have a Yi Li Dan in my hands!"
