Chapter 192: Perfect Vessel, Insurance for Sargeras

After the Dark Temple War ended, Luode should have summoned Sargeras immediately.

However, the Legion said that Sargeras is currently merging two powers, so there's not much time, and Luode needs to wait a bit longer.

This delay gave Luode a brief moment to return to the pirate world to handle affairs.

Sargeras should have already merged arcane and fel powers by now!

Truly worthy of a Titan-level lifeform—just a glance and he touched the power of the pirate king's world.

Sargeras's mastery of power has reached the peak, so this time summoning him, Luode plans to ask Azeroth's opinion on whether to install a backdoor device on Sargeras as a precaution.

To prevent Sargeras from doing anything harmful to Azeroth, Sargeras's ultimate goal is to protect the entire physical universe from the threat of the Void Lords, even if it means destroying it.

Under his command, the Titan-level forces have no one with free status; they are basically being exploited, so vigilance is necessary.

After entering the Emerald Dream, Luode easily came to the place where Azeroth sleeps and then woke him/her up.

Luode: "Azeroth, I've brought you powerful energy. I originally wanted to collect six types to bring to you, but due to some accidents, the Emerald Mark is now full."

"I can feel it—you've brought me tremendous energy this time!" Azeroth's massive dreamlike body awakened.

I never expected that, after only a short while, she feels as if she just fell asleep and hasn't even entered deep slumber.

This brat Luode ran back and even filled his own Emerald Dream Mark.

"I've brought you three kinds of energy—two from other worlds and one is the fel power you've always wanted." Luode said, then handed the Emerald Dream Mark to Azeroth.

"Wait! Where did you get so much fel power? This occupies half of my Emerald Mark's power! Your body—have you accepted the fel infusion?"

Just a glance, and Azeroth noticed Luode's condition: aside from his own life force, his body also contains a strong fel power, on par with his life energy.

This fel power certainly wasn't obtained through any kind of training; it must have been infused by someone.

In this universe, the only one possessing such tremendous power is the Dark Titan Sargeras.

Toward this Dark Titan, Azeroth has an instinctive loathing, because he has repeatedly tried to kill her, even coming close to success.

"To help you obtain fel power, I pretended to join the Burning Legion.

and got Sargeras to temporarily abandon his plan to destroy the material universe—he won't destroy you anymore." Luode clearly sensed Azeroth's unfavorable impression of the Burning Legion.

Azeroth: "Anyway, thanks to you and Luode—I didn't expect you to report back so quickly; I wasn't wrong about you. Now give me the energy!"

"This time I've brought you space and time—two powers—plus fel power; come absorb them!"

"Okay!" Azeroth immediately began absorbing the two powers Luode sent via the Emerald Dream, first taking in space and time.

These two powers are truly miraculous, coming from another world—belonging to neither order nor chaos, and even lying outside the six primal forces.

The Titans of order can grasp some of the universe's primal forces; Aman'thul once wielded time's power, and now Azeroth has also gained this ability—so much so that even the bronze dragons can no longer interfere with him/her.

Spatial power is even more miraculous, allowing many tricks. After several days of work, Azeroth absorbed all these forces completely and let out a satisfied belch.

The life force previously infused into Luode has now been fully replenished.

Moreover, having gained fel power, of the six primal forces only Holy Light remains; once she masters Holy Light and accumulates enough strength, she can be born.

"As long as you like it, for your sake I joined the Burning Legion and even persuaded Sargeras not to destroy the material universe—he poses no threat to you anymore." Luode laid out his full deal with Sargeras and told Azeroth.

Without Azeroth, I couldn't have improved this fast; I'm still struggling to prepare to smash Kil'jaeden's face! "You joined the Burning Legion—I know you did it for me—but remember this: no matter what Sargeras tells you,

Never! Never! Do not let his true form descend here, do not let his true form descend upon Azeroth.

Otherwise, I would surely be in mortal danger—even if he doesn't destroy me, he'll find a way to enslave me and turn me into his war machine." Azeroth spoke with a grave, even hurried tone, showing extreme fear of Sargeras.

Azeroth dare not gamble that Sargeras won't turn her into a puppet; this Dark Titan will certainly do so, given his extreme nature.

Moreover, from Luode she learned of Argus the Unmaker's fate and that of Sargeras's former lieutenant Aggramar, making her trust Sargeras even less.

"I've given him a new target—a world-soul in another world—and this time I will summon Sargeras's avatar, having prepared a vessel for his descent.

"One of the souls split off from him is just like when he descended upon Azeroth centuries ago—even weaker than before." Luode quickly spoke to comfort Azeroth.

Azeroth is very afraid of Sargeras.

Once Azeroth is successfully born, she will naturally no longer fear Sargeras; she can thrash him.

But in her pre‑birth state, Sargeras can instantly kill Azeroth.

Moreover, Sargeras has repeatedly plotted against Azeroth!

This time only an avatar will descend, and the vessel he possesses is Illidan's body—not his fallen incarnation from Sargeras's tomb.

Azeroth: "You want to summon Sargeras's avatar? You've prepared a body for him—whose body is it?

Ordinary mortals cannot bear a Titan's soul, not even a fragment.

The descent of Sargeras's avatar is also a serious matter; most importantly, who did you choose as the vessel? Luode: "It's a night elf named Illidan, formerly a demon hunter, now a full demon."

"Illidan?? You haven't started summoning him yet, right? Luode! You haven't summoned Sargeras yet?" Azeroth suddenly grew anxious.

"Exactly! I must come ask your opinion—does Illidan have any problems?"

"The problem could be huge, but it's good you came to consult me; otherwise things would go badly. The night elf race, especially those with golden double‑sided eyes, are very suitable as Titan vessels.

Once, Azeroth's Titan guardians intended to let my soul descend into Azshara's body, but the guardians later found Azshara too arrogant, even conceited. They abandoned the plan, never making her a vessel for my soul—yet at that time Azshara was the perfect vessel for me, capable of receiving my entire soul intact.

And the night elf demon hunter Illidan—I can tell you plainly—he is the most suitable vessel for Sargeras in this world.

Sargeras's soul can even fully descend into him, unleashing power far beyond your imagination.

Back in the ancient war, Illidan's strength wasn't particularly great—he wasn't even a high‑ranking night elf—and he defected to the Burning Legion.

Why would Sargeras personally meet him and imbue him with fel power? Because Sargeras wanted to turn him into a perfect vessel for his descent upon Azeroth.

The massive demonic avatar he split off back then is actually nothing; achieving even a thousandth of his power would be decent.

Even his combat power falls short of Archimonde's—a mortal guardian mage could handle him." Azeroth told Luode all of this.

Luode, hearing this, was also dazed: "Damn, is Illidan really that important to Sargeras?"

Illidan actually is Sargeras's perfect living pillar, while Queen Azshara is Azeroth's perfect vessel? Luode was bewildered—any such setting? "Maybe Sargeras should change vessels, or simply not summon him for now."

If Luode doesn't summon him, Sargeras can't come anyway—after all, neither Azeroth nor Luode can afford to gamble.

"There is indeed a countermeasure: if he descends as an avatar as you promised, you'll have fulfilled your pact with him and can take him to other worlds.

"An incomplete‑soul descent of Sargeras still poses no threat to me."

But if he really dares to descend with a complete soul, then he must be plotting against me; but if you are here, I have thought of a method to deal with him.

"Azeroth, what do you have?" Luode looked toward Aidelas and asked.

"This time, if Sargeras descends with a complete soul, at the moment of his descent."

I will help you suppress his thoughts, giving him a moment of lapse, then you use your spatial ability to banish him entirely to another world.

Then his true form on the Burning Throne is merely a shell, useless thereafter.

"After all, Sargeras cannot cross worlds to return, so we can permanently banish Sargeras." Azeroth revealed his plan.

With Luode's power, she can banish Sargeras's complete soul and his body to another world.

Without a soul to control it, even a Titan's body is just a decoration; they can completely eliminate Sargeras's threat.

"If Sargeras really plays tricks, that is indeed a good plan." Luode also nodded.

For Titans, the soul is the most fundamental power; the Pantheon's Titans may have destroyed bodies, but they can still reshape them.

Therefore, banishing Sargeras's complete soul is equivalent to abolishing Sargeras.

"This is just a precaution; if he truly is a fragment descending, then he is sincere, and we will cooperate with him."

However, to carry out this plan, Luode, you must find me a vessel, a body capable of bearing my soul's power." Azeroth said.

"I understand, I will try to bring Queen Aishala." Luode nodded.

It seems I must make a trip to the underwater world to capture some Naga queen.

"No need! Besides Aishala, the world of Azeroth still has Night Elves capable of containing my power."

Moreover, even if you bring her now, it won't work; she has been corrupted by the Old Gods' evil power and cannot perfectly contain my soul." Azeroth shook his head, rejecting Luode's suggestion.

A monster tainted by the Ancient Gods' power—she wouldn't even look at it! If only the original Queen Aishala were still here.

"Are there any Night Elves capable of containing your power? Who are you referring to?" Luode asked doubtfully.

Besides Aishala and Yilidan, it seems there are no Night Elves with golden eyes left.

"The current leader of the Night Elves, Tailande, can bear my power; at least she can allow my soul to descend completely, and she herself should be willing."

Across Azeroth, if we seek a second person capable of bearing a complete soul, only Tailande qualifies.

All right! So it's Grandma Tai; Luode recalls that in the Shadowlands storyline, Elune used Tailande's body to converse with the Winter Queen.

"You must immediately go to the Night Elf clan and tell Tailande this; I will have Elune inform her."

"Bring Tailande to the scene; then I will temporarily possess her body." Azeroth said.

"Good! I'll go right now."

The Wild Demigods and Night Elves get along well; Luode plans to find the Wild Demigod Cenarius to ask for help, to recommend himself from the past.

After concluding talks with Azeroth, Luode immediately headed to the place where many Wild Demigods slumber.

"My brother, what brings you here?" The Stag Demigod appeared before Luode.

Luode immediately told him his purpose.

"I understand, I will notify the external Night Elves to receive you in Moonglade; you just need to go there."

Luode nodded, directly left the Emerald Dream. Then he used the power of the spatial gate to teleport to Kalimdor, heading toward the Night Elves' homeland.

At the same time, in the Temple of the Moon, Tailande, who was meditating, was suddenly bathed in a white light, and a holy voice echoed in her mind.

"Tailande, my child, Azeroth needs your help."
