Chapter 443

Once the orc warlock Gul'dan, the strongest of the old tribe, was bound by a strange magic, and he provides energy for the Dark Portal.

The Gul'dan before Luode made him feel emotional about his world's Gul'dan being resurrected and then serving him, but after having him do a few tasks, Luode basically ended up in a laissez-faire state.

"Your method is too troublesome, watch mine." Luode smiled slightly, directly hovering in midair, the primordial god-level microcosm emanated out, forming a terrifying pressure.

This pressure mixed with divine aura, the power of the microcosm, and even the Conqueror's Haki from the pirate world.

In just an instant, the originally ferocious Iron Tribe warriors, as if struck by something, immediately fainted and collapsed to the ground.

Not to mention ordinary mortals; even demigod-level beings cannot stand before Luode, and even true god-level beings cannot guarantee they can stand before him.

The Iron Tribe warriors' overall combat power is merely at the level of ordinary mortals, which is nothing before Luode.

Even several leaders of the Iron Tribe, the Seven Heroes of the Draenor world, even the strongest among them, Grommash Hellscream, only have combat power comparable to a demigod.

In just an instant, Luode subdued the Iron Tribe; many swift members of the Alliance and Horde didn't even have time to react.

They had just raised their weapons and taken an offensive stance when Luode had already finished the job.

"My goodness! Is this the power of a true god?" Khadgar's eyes widened as he spoke in disbelief.

Come on! This is too terrifying; in just an instant, tens of thousands of orcs from the Iron Tribe collapsed all at once.

Besides those Iron Tribe orcs, even some of the slaves they captured for forced labor and other enslaved races instantly fainted—it was a total one-shot kill.

"Alright, everyone, stop staring; quickly destroy the Dark Portal. If this Dark Portal exists, the Iron Tribe can always invade our world." Khadgar was the first to react, shouting.

After Khadgar came to his senses, many Alliance and Horde members began to act under Thrall's leadership.

The Alliance and Horde soldiers quickly found several armaments of the Iron Tribe, then aimed the massive Iron Heart at the Dark Portal; with a thunderous boom, the Dark Portal instantly exploded.

Boom! Boom! The massive Dark Portal was torn apart and then collapsed with a crash.

"It's really easy; I never thought this mission would be so easy. We, we've just destroyed the Dark Portal and saved the world." said a Tauren warrior from the Horde.

"How could it be that simple? We must ensure the Dark Portal is never rebuilt."

"You know, the old Horde has mastered the exact method of building the Dark Portal; if they build another one, they can continue invading our world." Khadgar said.

"If merely destroying the Dark Portal were that simple, this would be easy; the purpose of their expedition this time is to completely eradicate the Draenor orcs' resistance, ensuring the Azeroth world won't be threatened by them."

"What should we do now? The Iron Tribe's people seem to have lost all resistance; this is a good opportunity." said a human soldier.

Humans and orcs share a blood feud; although this time the Alliance and Horde are jointly attacking the Draenor world, humans are very willing to kick the orcs when they're down.

"I think we should seize this opportunity to directly kill all the Iron Tribe's high-ranking leaders; then the Iron Tribe would be left leaderless." said a blood elf mage.

"No, no, no, guys, what we should do now is first capture Gul'dan, then eliminate all members of the Shadow Council in this world."

"Ensure no warlock of the old Horde remains; without these warlocks they cannot craft another Dark Portal, thus we can guarantee our world's safety, absolute safety." said a gnome warlock.

At the same time, looking toward Gul'dan lying unconscious nearby, the true god Luode who had just unleashed that terrifying strike had basically felled all Iron Tribe members, and even this former chief warlock of the tribe couldn't withstand it, immediately passing out.

"I agree! Completely annihilating the Iron Tribe is unrealistic; killing their commanders will only prolong this hatred."

"Eliminating Gul'dan and all his Shadow Council members, and ensuring the Dark Portal is never rebuilt, is what we should do." said Thrall.

Other tribe members, especially the orcs, nodded.

Although called the new Horde's orcs, they still have some ties to the old Horde; indeed many Iron Tribe orc warriors are of the previous generation.

This damned parallel world sometimes even lets them see their fathers or mothers when they were young.

"Alright, that's settled; we'll first deal with Gul'dan." An orc warrior roared, raised his great axe, and swung at the fallen Gul'dan.

However, Luode blocked that strike.

"This is my spoil; you go deal with the other Shadow Council warlocks!" Luode said, then directly took the Gul'dan before him away.

Actually, Luode has always been curious about one thing: in the late version of Lords of Draenor, the final boss players face is the Burning Legion commander Archimonde, but this Archimonde is not the one from the parallel world.

Rather, it's the Archimonde defeated by players in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, which is actually quite strange.

If this is the Archimonde from the Battle of Mount Hyjal, then a very strange problem arises.

All Azeroth worlds face the same Burning Legion; is it really useful to invade so many Azeroth worlds?

In the Warcraft universe, how many Burning Legions are there exactly? Luode is very curious about this.

"Then, Lord Luode, we'll temporarily hand Gul'dan over to you; we'll go deal with the other Shadow warlocks." Khadgar said.

Who does this old man want? They can't stop him, after all he can one-shot anyone.

"Let's first establish a base! As we previously agreed, the Alliance will go to Shadowmoon Valley to seek the aid of the draenei."

"As for the Horde members, we'll first go to Frostfire Ridge to seek the help of the Frostwolf clan; as I understand, the Frostwolf clan should not join the Iron Tribe." said Thrall.

Next, the group first raided a prison site, rescuing some draenei prisoners and orc prisoners.

Because the Iron Tribe members were all knocked down by Luode in one move, the group's plan went very smoothly, even without any casualties.

Soon, over a hundred Alliance warriors and over a hundred Horde warriors each set off, then headed to their respective agreed-upon locations.

As for Khadgar, he was busier; he had to go to two places in succession, then open the portal connecting Stormwind and Orgrimmar to summon reinforcements from the Horde and Alliance side.

Luode didn't bother with these trivial matters; he directly teleported to a relatively secluded place.

Then he activated his spatial ability, beginning to connect to the Burning Legion of this world.

The result was also very smooth; Luode successfully connected to the Burning Legion.

"Luode Commander, do you have any orders for us?" After discovering that the connector was Luode, the senior member of the Burning Legion on the other side immediately bowed and spoke. Now Luode's position, nominally the third commander of the Burning Legion, but everyone knows that Luode's combat power far surpasses Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, even reaching parity with Sargeras.

"I have something to look for Kil'jaeden." Luode said.

The senior demon of the Burning Legion on the other side nodded and left immediately; soon a huge red demon came before Luode.

"Lord Luode, how did you go to another world? It seems like another timeline! Is there anything you need my help with?" Kil'jaeden asked.

"The Gul'dan of this world, I want to know whether his experience is the same as the Gul'dan in my world? Was it also you who taught him warlock magic?" Luode asked.

"That's correct; the Gul'dan of this world also learned warlock magic from me. I discovered this world by accident a few years ago; this is merely a hidden move." Kil'jaeden said.

"Because of some accidents, a group of Horde and Alliance members from another Azeroth came to my timeline; I even thought I had discovered a parallel world!" Luode said.

Well, who knows how many Gul'dan across timelines Kil'jaeden has cultivated (the timeline of the Azeroth world is super weird: all Burning Legions are the same, but all experiences differ; there are old god Weilun, but no second Kil'jaeden or Archimonde.) "Lord Luode, since the Legion's plan changed, I haven't contacted this Gul'dan for a long time.

"After all, the Legion's main task now is to deal with the Dark Void, or to fight for you." Kil'jaeden said.

During this period, Sargeras intentionally or unintentionally revealed some things to Archimonde and Kil'jaeden; Sargeras planned to directly give the entire Burning Legion to Luode.

So, if nothing unexpected happens in the future! Luode is very likely to become the new leader of the Burning Legion.

The last time Sargeras went out with Luode, he brought back an immensely powerful creature whose combat power is not inferior to that of an ordinary Titan, and it obeys only Sargeras's commands.

Now Sargeras is completely immersed in researching new power; he no longer really wants to manage the affairs of the Legion.

"I understand; from now on you don't need to interfere with other timelines, just stay focused in the main world." Luode nodded and said.

Azeroth is about to be born in its own timeline, so that timeline is the main world; as for the other few future timelines, after Azeroth's birth they will all become secondary timelines.

On those planets, it is now impossible for another powerful world-soul Titan to be born, because although the Warcraft universe has the concept of a multiverse, the Titans are unique.

"I understand, Lord Luode, is there anything else you wish to command?" Kil'jaeden asked.

"I want to see if there is a behind-the-scenes mastermind; you prepare a demon legion there, and if needed, I will summon you at any time." Luode said.

Kil'jaeden nodded upon hearing this, after which Luode gave some more instructions and then cut off the connection.

It can now be confirmed that, in the Azeroth world, across all parallel timelines the Burning Legion exists as only a single entity. (The Glass Family's setting is really nonsense, one editor one setting, I vomited.) Over the next whole month, the Alliance and Horde were busy cleaning up the Iron Horde, while Luode was busy investigating the matter of the behind-the-scenes mastermind.

But over that whole month, Luode gained nothing, and during that period the Draenor world was directly crushed by the Alliance and Horde.

Because Gul'dan was captured by me, the Burning Legion will not intervene in this world, and the Iron Horde cannot withstand the combined blows of the Alliance and Horde.

Furthermore, some of this world's natives turned traitor, some orc clans directly broke away from the Iron Horde, the draenei and arakkoa also joined the allied forces; first Xiao Hou died at Thrall's hands, and then Hou Dad was quickly defeated as well.

But this time there was no Gul'dan coming to subvert the old Horde members; the fighting in the Draenor world ended very quickly, and the Alliance and Horde successfully liberated the world, eliminating the threat of the Iron Horde.

Thus the prophet Velen of this world also survived, and the Draenor world did not collapse as it originally would have due to the affair.

Overall, this is good news for the Azeroth world, because Luode's intervention means the Legion will not invade again, and a certain King Varian will not lose his life on the Shattered Beach because of this.

"Lord Luode, the fighting in the Draenor world has basically ended; we will soon return to Azeroth and withdraw entirely. What do you plan to do?" Khadgar came up to Luode and asked.

This time the reason we could defeat the Iron Horde so swiftly is that the true god called Luode helped a great deal; that strike before the Dark Portal can be said to have completely shattered the Iron Horde's morale, laying the foundation for the subsequent victory of the Horde and Alliance.

"How should I put it? I still haven't found the behind-the-scenes mastermind; who exactly sent you to my world?" Luode said.

You, an existence of your level, have observed for so many days yet still detected nothing; could it really just be a random probability event?

"I'm afraid I can't help with this matter, but if you plan to visit our world as a guest, I would be very welcome." Khadgar said.

As for another Azeroth world, frankly Luode isn't very interested; it's basically the same as this one.

Moreover, because of my own changes, the Legion's invasion should not happen again; as for some upcoming crises, they have nothing to do with Luode, after all Azeroth is about to be successfully born, so these timelines are no longer urgent.

Without the attraction of Azeroth's world-soul, the Void Lord would not be interested here; however, just in case, Luode still plans to send three subordinates over.

"I will leave a coordinate on you, then send out my three capable subordinates to return to Azeroth together with you."

"They will not interfere in any internal affairs of Azeroth, only secretly investigate the matter of your accidental arrival in our world; if in the end they find nothing, I will recall them." Luode said.

Perhaps my goal is too big; a primordial god just sitting there, the behind-the-scenes mastermind might not dare to come out; otherwise, let my subordinates try their luck!

After some thought, Luode summoned from his personal space the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, as well as Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, three persons.

After following Luode for several years, the three of them have greatly increased their strength; even the Second Hokage and Luode have some familial ties, and each received a flat peach, now they are truly demigod-level combat power.

"Lord Luode, what are your orders?" the Second Hokage asked.

"Things are like this, so I want you to go to the world where Khadgar is, and then secretly investigate this matter." Luode said.

"You've found the right person, Lord Luode! For gathering intelligence of this kind, we ninjas are quite skilled."

"Put your mind at ease! Leave it to us! We will surely investigate this clearly; unless this matter is a small accident, we will definitely find the behind-the-scenes mastermind." Kabuto Yakushi said.

"Have faith in your abilities! I will leave a space mark on you; you can at any time return to my location via this space marker."

"If you find the opponent's strength too great, then return immediately and tell me everything; I will come back and personally deal with him." Luode said.

The three nodded together; afterward Luode had Khadgar bring them through the portal, returning together with the great armies of the Horde and Alliance to another world's Azeroth.

Luode chose not to scare the snake; he himself going over is likely to find nothing, just like in Draenor, and the other side definitely won't show up, so let the subordinates go investigate!

After handling these matters, Luode also returned to the original Azeroth world, then went back to his own sanctuary, summoned Yatianna, and told her the whole story exactly as it happened.

"Do you think this matter is an accident, or someone secretly plotting it?" (End of chapter)
