Chapter 410

However, how should I bring it up? Queen Azshara's eyes turned toward Luode, and the two goddesses sitting beside her suddenly had an idea.

"Great Lord Luode, my former personal maid Vashj was highly skilled at serving people; she is the finest maid in this world. I wonder if you could resurrect her?"

"If you resurrect my former maid, I could have her help organize a maid squad to attend to your two goddess wives." Queen Azshara said.

"Oh! How did you know I can resurrect the dead?" Luode asked.

Vashqi, speaking of which, I was actually interested in seeing her at the time, but because I had to go to Karazhan and meet with Azeroth.

As a result, when I came back, this renowned lady of the Warcraft world had already been sidelined by the Alliance, which left Luode slightly regretful.

"Great Lord Luode, your name is renowned in Azeroth; even I, dwelling in the underwater world, have heard of your fame. Those foolish mortals seem to have turned your true god legend into that of a demigod.

This is disrespect toward you. Once I leave, I will certainly correct this error so that everyone understands you are a noble deity." Queen Azshara said.

Upon hearing this, Luode nodded.

Well! It seems the Forsaken, the Death Knights, and even the former Lightbringer Uther have been resurrected, indeed causing a tremendous upheaval in the Azeroth world—so much so that Queen Azshara, dwelling in the deep seas, has heard of her own fame.

However, those adventurers were not mistaken; I truly was a demigod back then, and even during the assault on Ulduar, I was merely approaching true godhood—true god-level mastery came only after I went to the Saint Seiya universe.

"There's nothing to boast about in this matter. In Azeroth, my identity remains that of a demigod. Do not leak my true identity; this is intentional on my part." Luode said.

Promoting myself as a true god in Azeroth holds no interest for me—I am the kind of god who studies divine power to grow stronger, not one who absorbs faith.

Having enough subordinates is fine; too many, and Luode would rather not— the forces of Undercity, the blood elves, and the Beasts Pirates are now basically useless to me. Only the Saints I've cultivated below can truly be relied upon.

Even my old father-in-law Kaido can still hold his own in a fight!

"I see. Please forgive my foolishness, Great Lord Luode—I actually dared to presume your thoughts?" Queen Azshara hastily knelt and said.

No wonder Lord Luode got along with the moon goddess— their interests are nearly identical. The moon goddess Elune also greatly enjoys using her priestess's body to walk the lower realms.

Luode nodded upon hearing this, then waved his hand, signaling Queen Azshara not to speak, and turned his head to look at Athena and Palas.

"How about it? Do you want a maid to attend to you?"

"A maid would be nice— among all the Saint Seiya groups, most are old gentlemen, which really isn't convenient." Athena stroked her chin and said.

Seeing her sister agree, Palas shrugged, indicating she would follow whatever her sister said.

After consulting the two women, Luode nodded, then looked down at the kneeling Queen Azshara and said: "I understand your request, Queen Azshara. Do you have anything Vashqi once used? I need a spiritual medium to summon her." Luode said.

Vashqi's corpse has already been disposed of by the Alliance—now there's probably not even scraps left, so I can only use her personal belongings from life for the séance.

However, Luode's current strength has fully reached the true god level—he fundamentally doesn't need flesh or blood to communicate with the souls of the dead.

Moreover, resurrecting a person—even a top-tier demigod—Luode can now do effortlessly with divine power.

As for the Shadow Realm, heh!

Before, I still feared the Eternals of the Shadow Realm a little, but now you let them come one by one to try—I won't go to the Shadow Realm to crush their bones and scatter their ashes; that would be giving them face.

At this moment, Athena, sitting nearby, suddenly spoke.

"Resurrecting a mere mortal? That's nothing—certainly not a demigod-level being. No need for offerings or such."

"Queen Azshara, go prepare your people. I'll give you seven days. In seven days, I and Luode will lift your people's curse and resurrect your personal maid Vashqi."

No offerings needed? Athena seems to be plotting something. Luode didn't interrupt, but nodded at Queen Azshara and said: "Queen Azshara, go prepare! Shortly, I will open a spatial teleportation gate—you bring all your people through, and I will restore them to their night elf forms, even including your descendants."

Upon hearing this, Queen Azshara's expression lit up with delight— the naga population now numbers in the millions,

night elves possess eternal lifespans; even after becoming naga, this remains true. Otherwise, Lady Vashqi wouldn't have lived so long, nor would she have reunited with Illidan.

However, night elves dwelling underwater have also undergone breeding, and their underwater descendants lack the eternal lifespans of their ancestors.

They have spawned countless sea monsters, and these lowly naga form the backbone of my underwater army.

High-ranking naga are those transformed from night elves; they constantly yearn to restore their former glory.

But the later-born naga—these lowly naga—believe the sea monster form is their true appearance.

Millions of night elves—this number is not less than the empire's peak. I must once again become queen of the night elves and must find a way to please this god, this Lord Luode—perhaps he will bestow upon me that power called the small universe.

"Thank you for your merciful grace, Great Lord Luode—I will now go summon my people." Queen Azshara knelt again in gratitude.

Luode nodded and opened a permanent portal to the underwater world, then sent Queen Azshara back, so she could gather all the naga to come to my palace.

The Little Flower Planet is now sparsely populated, and the sacred domain I newly built with Athena and Palas is immensely vast—more than enough to house these naga.

"Luode! Your resurrection spell, compared to Hades' resurrection ability— frankly, it's still a bit lacking. Hades uses the laws of death to resurrect people out of thin air.

Your ability still consumes your own divine power and requires a medium and offerings. Using this ability to resurrect only highlights your dignity as a god."

I've fought Hades for thousands of years; Athena knows this uncle very well—his resurrection ability truly gives people headaches.

Also, during the last Holy War, we crafted the special prayer beads of Virgo, which sealed the resurrection ability of the Death Warriors.

When the Death Warriors resurrect, they don't even need Hades to act—just give them permission, and that's enough.

"I know Hades' power is strong, but this belongs to the death-type laws—the Hades laws. We still need to plant divine trees to bear fruit." Luode said.

"Don't you have time-acceleration items? We can simply plant divine tree fruits directly. Moreover, this world does have an underworld, or rather, this world's underworld has been occupied by a group—fundamentally not divine beings.

Luode, this is an excellent opportunity—complete underworld laws are crucial, and establishing your own underworld would greatly aid your strength." Athena said.

"You mean we should directly seize this world's Shadow Sword? That would mean openly declaring war on those Eternals!" Luode asked. "Why not? What are you waiting for, Luode? This is a great opportunity—I recall you told me those Shadow Realm fellows, if you again take souls from the Shadow Realm,

they might well move against you. In that case, let's utterly offend them, provoke them to come after us, and then, as representatives of love and justice, we will represent justice in crusading against these evil Shadow Realm gods.

The reasons for war are endless—you previously defeated the Lich King, who, frankly, also came from the Shadow Realm. So why not go to war with them directly?" Athena said.

With Luode's current strength, plus his subordinate gods, and this world's so-called primordial god Sargeras—such immense power—why fear the Shadow Realm? After obtaining Hades' laws, you become the true Hades—why care about others' opinions? "Those Shadow Realm Eternals? They're not even gods—their combat strength is barely above demigod level!" Luode stroked his chin and said.

These Eternals look impressive, but their actual combat strength is weak—maybe on par with Titan Guardians!

Forget my current self—just send a few Saints, and they might well beat the Shadow Realm black and blue!

However, all this hinges on successfully planting the death-attributed fruit and fully comprehending the Hades laws.

Azeroth is a troublesome matter—I've mostly handled it. Perhaps it's time to go find Sargeras and talk.

"Then you two stay and guard the temple—I'm going now to plant the divine tree." Luode said.

Planting the divine tree—right now, what I lack most is an energy problem, and only Sargeras can solve it.

But once I advance to primordial god level in the future and can mobilize stellar power from the universe, I can plant it myself.

"Go ahead without worry! Luode, we'll take good care of home." Yatianna said.

Luode nodded upon hearing that, then tore open a spatial rift and headed to the headquarters of the Burning Legion.

At this moment, Sargeras was sitting on his throne, researching the chakra power from the Naruto world, because the chakra fruit carries the laws of life.

And with this Titan's aptitude, as long as he gains even a little insight, comprehending a completely new power is not difficult.

So during Luode's absence, Sargeras also successfully comprehended the primal life force.

Now he is a Titan who masters the principles of life, the force of order, and fel energy.

"Have you arrived? Luode, you, you now give me a feeling that is quite different, even making me feel as if I'm facing my brothers from long ago—have you already reached Titan level?" Sargeras looked at Luode, his face full of surprise as he asked.

"How to put it? I haven't yet reached Titan level, but that's only in terms of divine power realm; if we talk about combat power, I am now not inferior to an ordinary Titan." Luode spoke rather tactfully.

Now Luode can destroy a planet with a casual strike.

My true combat power should be about equal to Sargeras's, though in terms of life level, Luode still lags far behind Sargeras, and moreover, if the opponent comprehends microcosmic power, then the gap in combat power between us will instantly widen.

"What is this explanation? Combat power level has reached Titan, but realm has not?" Sargeras asked, slightly puzzled. Luode now emanates an extremely powerful aura, but the divine power within him is merely at the level of a true god.

"Another world has obtained a power called microcosm, which is equivalent to an engine that can convert the powers we have comprehended.

For example, order power, chaotic fel energy, life force, even holy light energy, death energy, shadow energy can be used as fuel, and divine power can also serve as fuel, then erupting with several times or even over ten times the power.

Besides this, that is the power of microcosm.

Your level, according to that world's terminology, is primordial god; if you go to that world and receive slight guidance, you should be able to awaken microcosm power, making you stronger than now by more than tenfold." Luode gave Sargeras a detailed introduction to microcosm power.

Sargeras has always supported me, so Luode will not be stingy with microcosm power; as long as Sargeras is willing, Luode will help him awaken it.

A primordial god-level being, even if he has comprehended emergency power, should also not enter the eyes of the True God; at that time, as long as we let Sargeras stay low-key, awaken microcosm power, and then retreat quickly, it will be done.

"The world is truly wonderful, actually having such powerful existence, gods in the infinite cosmos—indeed, it's a realm I cannot imagine.

And above that, there is an absolute god; it seems I was merely a petty god from a backwater place before!

Thanks to you, Luode, you let me see a higher level, a higher world." After hearing Luode's introduction, Sargeras spoke with deep emotion.

The True God Luode spoke of possesses abilities far beyond my imagination, and moreover, if I awaken microcosm power, I can instantly become tenfold or more stronger—I dare not imagine what Sargeras would look like after becoming tenfold stronger! Those so-called Void Lords, who can match Titans, devour planets, and destroy worlds, will be insignificant before Sargeras, and their master, the Void Grand Monarch, is likewise so. (New version opened; according to some newly released authoritative data, Void Lords' level corresponds to Titans, combat power being roughly equal, so Blizzard has reread the books again—no choice, the prestige of Titans keeps declining!)

"Microcosm power is indeed very miraculous; as long as one awakens this power, the enhancement to oneself will be unimaginable, just like my current self." Luode spoke.

"I understand, Luode; then let me help you plant the World Tree. If possible, please give me a fruit with primordial god power.

After you become a primordial god, we will go to the world you mentioned, and then let me awaken microcosm power." Sargeras spoke.

He couldn't fail to see what Luode wanted to express—that world is extremely dangerous, harboring extremely powerful beings.

Luode wants to first enhance his own strength, then directly go to that world to comprehend ultimate power.

In that case, I might as well wait a while longer—coincidentally, we two can also take a trip to that world called Marvel, and bring back that cosmic deity.

My strength can also get a boost, helping Luode plant the World Tree fruit; Sargeras wants a fruit of primordial god power, and Luode will give it.

And Luode's reply did not disappoint Sargeras.

"No problem! Then this time we will plant a primordial god power fruit, plus an additional fruit with death attribute; I estimate we need to drain the power of two stars." Luode spoke.

Fortunately, Sargeras is helping, so we might as well plant another primordial god power fruit! My newly cultivated primordial god-powered Ten-Tails juvenile can just devour the corpse of the Titan from the War God world.

"I agree with your plan, Luode." Sargeras stood up and said.

"Then let's act! Sargeras." Luode nodded upon hearing that and said.

The two immediately set out; Sargeras specially selected a binary star system, which is a star system with two blue dwarfs full of energy at its center, forming a binary system.

Around the blue dwarfs, several solid planets and gas planets show no signs of life; even if these two stars go out, they will not affect this place.

"Begin! Luode, this is the star system I specially selected; these blue stars possess the highest density energy, and there are no life-bearing planets around them." Sargeras said.

These blue-light-emitting stars are most suitable for planting, possessing abundant energy, and moreover, there is no life around them. (End of chapter)
