Chapter 244

It looks like Sargeras has already applied Ego's energy onto the Burning Legion's body.

"First meeting, Commander Luode, I am Archimonde." The tall blue Eredar bowed to Luode and spoke.

This person before you is a big shot close to Lord Sargeras; recently he's done quite a lot.

He helped Lord Sargeras, somehow capturing a monster equivalent to a Titan's head from somewhere.

Moreover, he let Lord Sargeras realize the coexistence of fel and order, and even mastered another immensely powerful force, the power of the celestial gods.

As a sensible person, Archimonde clearly knows how valuable Luode is, so upon first meeting he showed great enthusiasm.

"First meeting, Commander Archimonde, I've long heard of your great name." Luode also smiled and replied.

Isn't that right? The renowned Archimonde was nearly invincible, but ended up blown up by a bunch of little elves.

In the original Warcraft III setting, after Archimonde descended upon the world of Azeroth, he was an invincible existence that no one could handle.

But in the end, the dignified commander of the Burning Legion fell to become an insignificant existence in Azeroth.

"You flatter me, Commander Luode; it's all because Lord Sargeras favors you. But you're different—you just joined the legion and already made such a contribution; your future is surely limitless." Archimonde laid on another round of flattery.

"Hahaha! I'm just lucky." Luode said.

"Look, look at Kil'jaeden—Archimonde is so smooth‑talking; your scheming may be fine, but in terms of being a person, you still can't compare to Archimonde!" "My descendant, Prince Ma Ke Zha Er, thanks to your care, please be sure to keep him by your side." Archimonde spoke.

Having just been resurrected, I connected via the power of the Twisting Nether with my descendant Prince Ma Ke Zha Er, and from him learned some more secret information concerning Luode.

According to Ma Ke Zha Er's description, Sargeras highly values Luode, the legion's third commander; his future prospects are limitless.

That's why Archimonde treats Luode so politely; back then, his status among the Eredar was actually inferior.

Kil'jaeden and Velen too, but because his own scheming killed his mentor, he managed to rise to power.

Over these years in the legion, I've been constantly campaigning abroad; in terms of combat power, I'm somewhat stronger than Kil'jaeden.

According to information from my son, following Commander Luode will definitely bring benefits.

"Hahaha! Commander Archimonde, so Ma Ke Zha Er is your son; he indeed helped me a lot." Luode nodded and said.

Sure enough, these two are related; back when playing the game, many players thought this guy was Archimonde's illegitimate child, and even Blizzard hinted at it several times.

However, Archimonde is quite polite toward me; it seems Ma Ke Zha Er leaked a lot of information to the other side.

"Commander Luode, what urgent matter brings you here this time? Lord Sargeras is currently researching a new power and specifically instructed before his retreat."

"If there's nothing important, don't disturb him." Kil'jaeden said.

"I came this time to muster the demon armies of the Burning Legion."

"I've discovered a very miraculous planet and need the Burning Legion's help to take it." Luode bluntly stated his purpose.

"Commander Luode, you are the legion's third commander; you only need to speak up."

"Countless demon legions will obey your orders; if you need, I myself can also take action." Archimonde said.

"If it's just about capturing a planet, there's no need to alarm Lord Sargeras; Archimonde and I can help you." Kil'jaeden said.

Luode's potential is truly enormous, so Kil'jaeden also wants to improve their relationship.

After all, the two aren't that estranged; it was merely because a foolish subordinate passed false information, causing a judgment error.

And now that foolish subordinate is dead beyond death.

"I've just been resurrected; I happen to need to stretch my limbs, so let me help you invade this world." Archimonde said.

"If you two are willing to help, that couldn't be better; this world is extremely miraculous, possessing a special power called chakra. Once we take it, I think Lord Sargeras will certainly be very pleased." Luode said.

Otsutsuki clan! Hmph! You think you're badass?

I'll muster the Burning Legion to come kill you, clash with the demon sea, and first take the Naruto planet this time.

Then let the legion, in the universe, begin searching for traces of the Otsutsuki clan.

The divine trees planted on the planet, chakra fruits, and the various transformations of chakra—Luode doesn't believe Sargeras will remain indifferent.

"Is that so? Then Commander Luode, could you tell us how miraculous this special planet is?" "This energy called chakra comes from a family called Otsutsuki; they are a cosmic race. Just like that, they scatter divine trees throughout the universe, and I discovered them." Luode conveyed the basic information of the Otsutsuki clan to the two commanders of the Burning Legion.

"That sounds amazing; if what you say is true, then this race's strength is not weak—how many of their members are on that planet?" Archimonde said.

"There are two in total: one is in a half‑dead state, not yet revived; the other is sealed on the moon." Luode said.

"In that case, we'd better capture those two Otsutsuki individuals and then study their power." Kil'jaeden stroked his chin and said.

A brand‑new power, chakra, distinct from the six primal forces, is the same as the newly discovered cosmic divine power of Lord Sargeras.

This might enhance his and Archimonde's overall strength.

"I think so too, but now I need you two to help me craft some dark gates."

"I will open a dark gate in that world and then summon the legion over." Luode said.

To summon the legion over, a dark gate must serve as assistance.

"Haha, no need for that hassle; we have spare demon gates here, dark gates, which are merely imitations of the legion's demon gates."

"I'll get you a few of these right now; once you arrive in that world, just open this kind of portal and activate it." Archimonde chuckled and said.

The method of constructing dark gates was passed from Lord Sargeras to Medivh, and from Kil'jaeden to Gul'dan.

This kind of massive demon portal was invented long ago by Sargeras for conquering worlds, a standard legion portal.

Thus the legion has large reserves of such portals after the first batch of personnel descended.

They will immediately set up this kind of portal and then summon more legion members to descend.

"I see; I originally planned to build a dark gate in that world, but it looks completely unnecessary now."

How great! I'll just bring the ready‑made ones over; I didn't expect the Burning Legion to still have stock, demon portals.

"Someone go fetch a few demon portals over, the largest kind, capable of letting the highest‑ranking legion warriors pass through." Kil'jaeden nodded and immediately began ordering his underlings.

Soon, several huge legion demons delivered a few dozen‑meter‑tall massive portals—these are entirely crimson, engraved with mysterious runes.

"This is our demon portal; just input the space coordinates, then activate it with evil energy." A ke meng de li ke gave Luode a brief introduction on how to use this kind of demon portal.

"Hmm! Not bad, I'll take these few giant transmission portals over; soon I'll have them set up over there, then summon you over." Luode nodded and said.

Speaking of this standard-issue giant demon portal of the Burning Legion, if combined with my own teleportation ability, then invading the myriad worlds would be absolutely advantageous! It's too convenient.

More importantly, this giant teleportation gate does not draw power from the Space Stone, but from fel energy, and there's plenty of that.

"Then I'll go ahead first, you start gathering the army! We'll immediately launch an invasion of this world."

Luode nodded and immediately put away the several giant teleportation gates before him.

"No problem, Lord Luode, we'll summon the demon army right away—how strong is the combat power of that world?"

"There exists a thing called ninja! They can unleash chakra power.

They can unleash attacks that transform the five chakra natures—wind, fire, lightning, water, earth—similar to magical attacks.

"Overall combat power-wise, we still lag behind the legion, but our future enemy will be that Dàtǒngmù clan member, so we still need the legion's higher-ups to go over." Luode said.

Even I can now sweep through the Ninja World, but the truly difficult opponent is Huīyè, plus one more technique.

"Then let the high-ranking officers of the Burning Legion all join the fight! My subordinates—the high-ranking warlocks, the Destroyer Demon Matriarch, the Demon Lord, and the Abyssal Demons—will all be deployed." Ākèméngdé said.

"My Dreadlords will also be deployed."

"Wait, Commander Jī'ěrijīdān, let those Dreadlords just stay put in the legion for now!" Luode said.

Those Shadow Realm troublemakers had better not get involved.

"Good! The Dreadlords mainly excel at reconnaissance work; their combat power isn't much, and that world doesn't need reconnaissance anyway."
