Chapter 396 396 [I will perform my duties on your behalf]
Regarding Rai's reaction, Angmar had some psychological expectations and was not too surprised. He hesitated for a moment, took steps, and walked to the guardian.
Only when you get close can you truly appreciate the size of this guardian. He is even bigger than Loken, who betrayed his mission. When he stands, his head can probably reach the dome of the nearly fifty-meter-high hall. Just kneeling on one knee
The posture of the ground gives people a sense of oppression like a hill.
The owner of this majestic body was originally a warrior who dared to swim upstream and protected Azeroth from evil with unparalleled courage. But now, the light in those eyes has changed with the passage of time.
A deep sense of loss and a somewhat hopeless feeling.
"Honorable Lai, I know that you have lost your way because of the news of the death of the Titans... but they did not die. Although their bodies were destroyed by Sargeras, their souls survived under the protection of Norgannon.
, there is still a chance to return to the world..." Angmar spoke softly, trying to attract Lai's attention.
Hearing such words, Lai finally responded. He raised his head slightly and looked at Angma. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"Time traveler, I appreciate your efforts to wake me up. But I can tell what a lie is, that is, it is well-intentioned... Leave and let me rot here."
After saying that, the high-level guardian waved his hand gently, and a force emerged out of thin air, pushing Angmar out.
"What? A lie? No, this is not a lie, I am telling the truth!" Angmar was shocked and said loudly while concentrating his magic power to fight against this force.
Seeing that he didn't want to leave, Lai stopped doing useless work, took back the power, sighed and stopped moving.
"Please look at this scale. Since you know that I come from another timeline, why don't you listen to me?" Angmar once again showed the scale on the palm of his right hand.
Rai kept his head lowered and said in a low voice: "Of course I recognize this scale. It belongs to Nozdormu, one of the five brave ancestral dragons who helped Tyr defeat Galakrond in the past... It received the blessing of the Titans.
I presided over the ceremony..."
"Then please help me! I'm from..."
He suddenly stopped talking and suddenly thought that if he told the truth, it would probably have an unpredictable impact on the course of history. But if he didn't do this, how could he change Lai's current depressed state?
He believed that with Eli's height, he could definitely realize the subversive nature of "traveling through time". But even so, he still looked like he was hopeless...
Angmar gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I come from a timeline more than ten thousand years later. In the future, a fallen me has the power to discern time, and he designed to introduce me to the time node thousands of years later.
, trying to subvert the world while killing me..."
He briefly told what he had experienced.
Lai's eyes regained some brilliance, "Is this what will happen after thousands of years? The Burning Legion..."
Angmar nodded and said: "It is the demon army that the fallen titan Sargeras used to destroy the void force first in order to prevent the possibility of endless corruption... In the original history, a mortal race would introduce it
Although this world has gone through a hard battle, the Burning Legion was still repelled through the efforts of all parties. But the Fallen tried to rewrite this history, weaken the power of Azeroth, and allow the Burning Legion to arrive early!"
Noticing that Lai seemed to be deep in thought, Angmar hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and pulled open his collar, "Not only is the future world facing unprecedented threats, but by some mistake, this dark will was sealed into my body!
I have no way to get rid of it, so I can only come to you for help. If it is not curbed, it will completely corrupt me, use me, and use my understanding of the historical process in my mind..."
He pointed to his head.
"Use the power of time in this scale that is integrated with me," he raised his right hand again, his voice getting louder and louder, "at this moment, at the current time node, there is no need to wait until thousands of years later,
It brings a huge threat to Azeroth! You must understand that if I am controlled, a free dark will will bring no less threat to the world than an ancient god in a cage!"
Angmar paid close attention to Lai's expression. It seemed that the latter was seriously thinking about his words. But after a while, Lai suddenly shook his head in despair, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Angmar was shocked.
Doesn't matter?
How could Rai say such a thing?
Angmar walked quickly to Lai, looked up into the eyes that had lost all color, and said anxiously: "You are the high-level guardian appointed by Aman'Thul, the master of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Uldum.
, the person in charge of the Origin Forge...How could all of this have nothing to do with you?"
"It's meaningless...mortals," Leiden sighed. "The Titans gave us a mission, but now that they have long since passed away, we...have lost the meaning of our existence."
Angmar was so angry that he felt that this high-level guardian was like a smelly stone in a pit, mud that could not hold up the wall. The respect in his heart for such a transcendent existence was being worn away bit by bit.
He understood more and more why the God of Thunder, who believed deeply in his faith, would attack his master.
"'We'? You can't represent all the Guardians! You can ignore me and turn a blind eye to the threats that are just around the corner, but what about your own world? Not to mention that the Titans of the Pantheon are not completely dead at all. Even then
Is it true, have you ever understood what is happening in the outside world?"
Angmar roared loudly.
"When you fell into depression, Yogg-Saron took the opportunity to disintegrate Ulduar from within. Your brother Loken betrayed all his colleagues. He designed to ban Odin, harming Thorim, Mimiron, and Freya.
Together with Hodir, the four guardians became servants of the ancient gods, and even joined forces with their new masters to kill Tyr!"
He activated the scales on the palm of his right hand and used magic to show the sacrifice scene of Tire being forced into a desperate situation by two Krasis generals and heroically self-destructing. He spread his hands and looked around this magnificent hall and asked sternly:
"Just when you locked yourself in this dark secret room, your brothers, as well as those vrykul, earth spirits, mechanical gnomes...countless weak titan creations who were far more helpless than you knew exactly what was ahead.
, but still threw himself into the storm and faced the evil with unparalleled courage! You have fulfilled your noble beliefs and mission with your life! You are sorry for them!"
"Without your leadership, the fortress of Ahn'Qiraj was captured by the Aqir, C'Thun broke through the prison seal, and the Anubis giant became C'Thun's corrupt servant... Tol'vir and the mogu all suffered.
Infected by the curse of flesh and blood, they still try to stick to their sacred duties! Now the mogu have fallen into a civil war that has lasted for thousands of years, wasting their endless potential in fighting with each other. How can you keep saying, 'This
Everything has nothing to do with me'!?"
"answer me!"
The angry voice echoed in the grand hall, and Lai's rough, rock-like face did not change at all. He said without emotion: "Facing a future that has lost its meaning, we all have our own choices, even if they are very different.
But we will always reach the same destination through different paths. How can you, a mere mortal, understand our difficulties?"
Angmar stood blankly on the spot, unable to speak for a long time. He only felt a little bit of anger gathering in his chest, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "So you are not going to perform your duties?"
"Leave, mortal... leave here and meet your own demise. This world... is hopeless." Lai said softly.
Anger arose, and under the amplification of the power of time, the Sunwell Essence gave Angma an extremely enthusiastic response, and its majestic spiritual power filled the entire space on an unprecedented scale.
But amidst the overwhelming anger, Angmar's expression was surprisingly calm. He stretched out his right hand towards Len's left chest. All the anger, all the will, and all the strength were instantly condensed into the strongest form in his life.
A powerful attack, all released.
"In this case, I have no choice but to..."
"Perform this duty on your behalf."
