"That's right, an artifact. An artifact made with the heart of Y'Shaarj and the power of the seven demons. From now on, this land will never be threatened by these two." Angmar raised his head and looked at the senior

Guardian Lai nodded quietly.

He had already had such a plan, but it was not so easy to implement.

In the current timeline, the Heart of Y'Shaarj, which is regarded as a holy object by the mantid, is still intact and sealed in the underground palace of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. This heart makes the evil spirit immortal. No matter what kind of blow it endures, it will eventually be destroyed.

The heart of the ancient god that has made a comeback is the main material for making artifacts.

The holder of the artifact can not only gain considerable power, but may also gain the allegiance of a powerful race like the Mantid... At least some of the most fanatical believers will follow and be loyal to the holder of the artifact. Previously, in "The Fall"

Angmar had some conjectures when he had to take the heart of Y'Shaarj from another derivative timeline into his body under the threat of "The One".

At that time, he very much hoped that with the heart of Y'shaarj, he could gain the allegiance of the Mantid. In this way, when he returned to the ancient timeline to face the "Fallen", he would have an army that could not be ignored.

but……

"Whoever obtains the Heart of Y'Shaarj will obtain the allegiance of the Mantid." - Is this sentence really accurate?

The key example that led to this understanding was what happened ten thousand years later when the fog of Pandaria lifted. The war madman and great orc Garrosh absorbed the Heart of Y'Shaarj and obtained the Heroes of Klaxxi.

of allegiance.

Although there has been a lot of debate on the matter of "Garrosh completely controlled the Heart of Y'Shaarj, or was it in turn corrupted by the Heart of Y'Shaarj", there are sufficient examples from all sides, and the opposing side believes that if it weren't for Garrosh

How could the Mantid willingly serve him after being corrupted? After all, the Mantid is not stupid.

Angmar prefers a conjecture that is superior to both and can make all these arguments meaningless.

That is, it doesn't matter whether you control it or not.

As an echo of the dead ancient god Y'Shaarj, the Heart of Y'Shaarj inherits the fundamental will of the Void to corrupt the world that nurtures the Titan's star soul.

The Void wants to corrupt the planet of Azeroth, which harbors the souls of the Titans, and bring about the ultimate agent to carry out the corruption in The Endless.

Originally, the native forces of Azeroth were a major obstacle in front of them. However, there was the Burning Legion. Sargeras, the fallen titan who had seen the corruption of the planet, paranoidly believed that the only way to stop the corruption in the void was to end it.

, only by completely destroying it can we eliminate the great enemy of the universe once and for all. Faced with the fact that the Dark Empire has fallen, the remnants of the Old Gods need to rely on local defense forces to contend with the Burning Legion. After all, if Sargeras destroyed Azer

Lars, the goal of corrupting it will be impossible to achieve.

Azeroth has therefore become a three-way competition.

The Old Gods, who are eager to restore the glory of the Dark Empire and promote corruption on the planet, can only lurk in the cracks between the native forces of Azeroth and the Burning Legion and wait for both sides to lose in the battle. This is the safest way.

And the war madman Garrosh, who is keen on using war to drive out the lower races and let the orcs control everything, is the best agent for this goal. Rather than saying that Y'shaarj's heart is controlled by him, it is better to say that Y'shaarj

The heart does not mind that the other party uses his own power to achieve his vision, because no matter what Garrosh does, even if he defeats the Alliance, eliminates all races that do not obey the orcs, and makes the orcs the true masters, it will only serve

An ancient god’s disciple made a wedding dress.

The final winner is the heart of Y'Shaarj that has been dormant in his body, not himself.

It is for this reason that the Mantid clan, represented by the Klaxxi organization, chose to be loyal. Their loyalty was not to Garrosh either, but to the heart of Y'Shaarj in his body, the echo of the most powerful ancient god.

This extended two further conjectures, one favorable and one unfavorable.

The first one is derived from the previous conjecture. The mantid keeps in mind its vocation as a derivative of the shadow of the void, and its allegiance to Garrosh is not as simple as it seems. Otherwise, with the wisdom of the mantid, how could it be in the end?

When the ancient god N'zoth is still alive, he is loyal to a mortal who controls the echo of his master. Even during the Dark Empire, N'zoth had a competitive relationship with his master Y'Shaarj, but he was also the last one to survive.

The Ancient God is the being most likely to lead the remaining forces of the Dark Empire to continue their original mission.

Once this speculation is confirmed, it will be very detrimental to Angmar. He will not be able to completely control the Mantid, because no matter what the appearance is, the Mantid will always have the idea of ​​​​recovering the Dark Empire, and keeping such subordinates around will only be a time bomb.

The second conjecture is that there are not so many twists and turns, and the mantid is just an echo of the fanaticism of its master. The long evolution has long made them no longer desire to implement any will of the void, and just want to let the race survive. No matter what

Whoever controls the heart of Y'Shaarj can gain their unreserved loyalty.

Unfortunately, Angmar had limited time at that time and could not confirm any of them.

Now back to the ancient timeline, the threat of the "Fallen" no longer exists, but a new enemy has emerged - the ultimate enemy that will come at the end of time. If the Mantid can be instigated, it may not be impossible to lure it into

Fight the forces of evil.

So the problem is back.

Angmar hoped that the second conjecture would be confirmed. Just imagining the future scene made his heart surge...

An intelligent race that has already established a cruel social system in dozens of reincarnations for hundreds of years, has an elite clan, and possesses military power comparable to that of mainstream ethnic groups. Due to their fanatical beliefs, they implement their own instructions without reservation. There is no parliament.

There is no hesitation and no bureaucratic interests to consider. The direction pointed by the master is the direction of the tribe. Angmar only needs to do something about Y'shaarj's heart to have such a group of brave teachers who are uncompromising...

But Angmar actually doesn't have much hope for this. Not to mention that the possibility of the first conjecture coming true is not small. At the ancient time point, the two ancient gods C'Thun and Yogg-Saron are not dead yet.

Woolen cloth.

No matter what, he has to try it.

…

"I understand your lofty beliefs and your desire to help this land eliminate the biggest threat. But I must say that this is a dangerous move, mortal." After some contemplation, Senior Guardian Lai said in a deep voice, with eyes in his eyes.

Flashing with uneasiness and worry.

Since the Order Era, he has been guarding this land and guarding the seal of the Heart of Y'Shaarj for countless thousands of years. No one knows the horror of the Heart of Y'Shaarj better than him. As early as the Order Era, even the Pantheon's

The Titans had nothing to do with the remaining essence of this most powerful ancient god, and had to choose to seal it in the same way as other ancient gods, which is enough to prove the problem.

From the perspective of High Guardian Rai, there is no way to isolate the corrupting influence of the Heart of Y'Shaarj other than continuing to maintain the seal.

Make it an artifact?

Len shook his head.

If the speaker hadn't been Angmar, Len would have sternly denounced him as an ignorant, fearless lunatic.

"High-level Guardian, in this world, no one knows better than me how to use the power of order to balance, isolate and suppress the corrupting influence of shadow."

Angmar said softly. As he spoke, the whites in his eyes disappeared and were replaced by a layer of deep color, turning into pure black. Shadow energy also filled the palms, and soon the whole body was reflected in a strange light.

A shadow corrupted the snow on the bluestone floor, and quickly extended into the distance.

A few seconds passed, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters was corrupted. The melted snow turned into some strange black liquid that squirmed like a concrete shadow. Tentacles that danced crazily continued to sprout from it, which was extremely terrifying.

.

Lai frowned.

The two were located on the main peak, and there were many monks from the White Tiger Temple on duty nearby. Soon someone noticed the strange phenomenon here, and found that the culprit behind all this was Angmar, who was accompanied by the high-level guardian Lai. They all froze.

In place.

"What are you doing?"

Before Lai finished speaking, a force of order surged out of Angmar's body. After a few breaths of time, all the corruption disappeared, and everything returned to its original appearance, as if it had never happened.

It was like the terrifying vision just now. After the two offset each other, the remaining energy evaporated and intertwined into an extremely weird energy in mid-air.

Lai's frown deepened. He stretched out his fingers to touch the energy suspended in the air, but found that the two were inseparable, and it was impossible to distinguish any of the original energy from them. He could not feel the power of order.

And the original attributes of shadow energy, it is as if this energy has escaped the scope of the six original powers...

Is this energy beyond the framework of the original system of the universe?

How can this be?

Fortunately, not long after, Lai discovered that this was just his illusion. After careful analysis, he found that the power of order in this energy was still the power of order, and the shadow energy was still shadow energy, but the original attributes of both were the same.

They were extremely weakened for some reason, so they were so closely integrated that they lost their source of power and their perception was weakened, so they couldn't accurately distinguish them at first sight.

As the most powerful guardian, High-Level Guardian Rai has a vision far beyond that of mortal races.

Angmar's ability to control any kind of energy alone is not very outstanding. His control of the power of order is not as good as that of the Guardians, and at most it is only better than the species of Titan creations that are good at casting spells.

The same is true for the control of shadow energy. In the Sequence War, Rai defeated too many Faceless General Krasis and powerful leader-level Aqirs. Their ability to control shadows can be described as meticulous and powerful.

I don’t know how many times I have passed through Angmar.

But it is such a person whose control ability is not outstanding, but he perfectly combines the origin of order and the origin of void.

"I have to say, you surprised me very much. Are you going to use this method to make an artifact? But... I must remind you, that is the heart of Y'Shaarj. It breaks away from the sealing device I set up and wants to suppress its darkness.

Breath, the power of order required will be massive."

Rai looked at Angmar. During the recovery process, he heard about Angmar's experience during this period. If Angmar could separate all the power of order in his body, he might not be able to do this. But with him,
Chapter completed!
