Chapter 467 The False God Plan
With the Scourge's second-in-command personally intervening, the Faceless Ones in Lorraine, helpless against them, rapidly withered away.
The Faceless One, who had always been the sixth in command, had lost his mind. Or rather, he had long since become another life form, not belonging to the real world, but originating from the void... After absorbing the resentment of countless lives that had died, he devoured the flesh and blood that had sunk to the bottom of the sea near Atonement Island.
Mayor Bourne, who had transformed into a faceless being, has undergone a complete metamorphosis.
It swelled to an exaggerated and terrifying size, remaining silent until it finally appeared, when it tried to devour all living beings present... The mortal army that charged from Southshore, as well as the Scourge army brought by Kel'Thuzad, were all its prey.
Everyone present at Kel'Thuzad knew the true form of the Faceless One... The Lich King had already taught it how to deal with the servants of the Old Gods!
......
Not to mention Mayor Bourne, a bloated, fake Faceless One, even the Faceless One general guarding Yogg-Saron had been experienced by the Lich King.
Deep within the unseen underground kingdom of Northrend, the Faceless Ones and branches of the Aqir empire, as well as the Lich King's newly recruited Crypt Fiend Death Legion, have clashed many times before.
Needless to say, the Aqir branch, which had been suppressed by the Old Gods, suffered repeated defeats and was surrounded by enemies.
Even King Anub'arak of Ajjol and Niburu was killed by the Lich King and transformed into an undead cockroach, forcing the insectoids to retreat deep underground. However, there were still threats underground.
These are the ancient gods' servants, the Faceless Army, who have been slumbering for tens of thousands of years...
What the Alliance and the Horde didn't know was that if Lorraine hadn't first fallen into the depths of the Ancient Gate, and the guardians of the Insectoid Empire hadn't opened the portal to support their brethren and delayed the Lich King's progress, the Lich King would have already launched a massive attack on both continents of Azeroth.
......
During this period, the Lich King's minions seized a large amount of the Spider Demons' treasures and technology, transforming them into servants of the Crypt Lord's army.
They also gradually learned of the secret prison where the Old Gods were imprisoned by the Titans, and the existence of Ulduar...
Having gained no advantage after several battles, the Faceless Ones' threat to flesh and blood has become a problem even for the Lich King, who is also searching for a way to deal with the Old Gods' servants...
The Bloodstone Egg contains the blood of the Old Gods, making Ulduar difficult to breach. However, once the blood of the Old Gods is obtained, the Lich King plans to use it to create a true physical body, an artificial Old God, and this false god project will become part of the Scourge's objectives.
To create an Old God that obeys the Scourge, rendering the Curse of Flesh ineffective, a new life form that even the Faceless Ones cannot devour or contend with... the Lich King Kel'Thuzad himself will seize it!
Unlike the Forsaken apothecaries who were completely unaware of the power of the Bloodstone Egg, the Scourge did not merely study the power of the Old Gods to create deadly potions against all undead and living beings.
Of course, the Scourge understands that the Forsaken's goal is to take revenge on the Lich King and research that potion, while Sylvanas's goal is naturally to kill the Lich King Arthas and his minions, at any cost.
......
Who else knows the secret of the blood of the ancient gods?
Lorraine knows a little about it. Captain Terra, who joined Lorraine in seizing the Crimson Fragment and is keeping the four weakened Bloodstone Fragments, does he know the secret of the Bloodstone Egg?
It seems that the blood elf lady Terra knows something about it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have inquired about the whereabouts of the Bloodstone Egg.
The one who truly knows the truth is not Terra, but her teacher, the living ancient, the blood elf archmage Romans!
......
At this moment, Romans had just led his team to drive away the ice dragon Sapphiron and its two minions...
The Dragonhawk Knights captured and bound numerous heads of the Plague Proto-Dragons, ancient creatures driven mad by rage and exhibiting the same insane and low intelligence as the Vrykul. Romans was forced to help subdue these extremely dangerous beings.
A proto-dragon beast looks to be about the same size as a dragon eagle, or even larger.
Untamed...
Of the three frost dragons, two escaped, and one disappeared into the sea.
As Romans approached Atonement Isle, he witnessed the battle where the High Lich restrained the colossal phantom of the Faceless One. The Faceless One, at this moment, appeared as a void demon the size of a mountain...
Similar to a warlock summoning voidwalkers, and just like the avatar that possessed Lorraine last time, this time, the blue void demon's form broke through the Faceless One's already illusory and shrinkable physical shell...
It appears as a void creature at the entrance to the Redemption Isle dungeon.
It looked intimidating, but it pleased the High Lich King. If the Faceless Ones fought in their Faceless One form, it would be quite troublesome. Directly revealing their core physical body, even the incredibly powerful blue fatso became nothing more than a blue power bank in the face of the High Lich King Kel'Thuzad's Wither magic...
Visible to the naked eye, the Void Demon's enormous body was being drained dry...
Anger and struggle surged in the hearts of all the living; this void creature seemed to be able to incite negative emotions... it was practically a giant plague seed, a void seed.
The Faceless Ones' power originates from the void, the power of the Void Shadow. When fully exposed, it is incredibly powerful, but it also loses its protective shell.
Wither and Corruption spell, specifically for absorbing magic power.
Shadow priests can actually use this technique too; Mana Burn is a basic version... and not all shadow priests know Mana Burn. Demon hunters' Mana Burn and Flame Aura can even burn both mana and life force simultaneously...
The Great Lich's necromancy super-tier spells directly and forcibly convert the power of the void with overwhelming death power.
While it's said that the power of shadow in the void is extremely strong, an enemy of life, and that shadow power is born after death, in reality, every power differs in quantity and quality, and they are mutually reinforcing and restraining...
Just because the Scourge was once a servant of the Burning Legion does not mean that the power of death is inferior to the power of shadow.
Conversely, in the Shadowlands, one is subject to the rules and the power of the world.
The six fundamental forces are only incredibly powerful within their own territories. In other realms, they have no support or representative, so they can only be devoured and controlled... The great lich Kel'Thuzad was extremely satisfied.
It takes no effort at all!
Even if the holy city of Enkirah is on the verge of collapse, Kel'Thuzad and his minions can quickly escape unscathed once they enter the holy city's portal, even if they have to abandon this temporary Great Tomb of Death.
......
Witnessing Kel'Thuzad rapidly absorbing the power of the void creatures, the blood elf archmage, realizing the danger and also wanting to seize the Bloodstone Egg, quickened his pace...
Heading straight for Atonement Island...
Archmage Romans stood atop the dragon eagle and chanted a spell.
Such a spell, which even a high-ranking archmage needs to chant, must be an incredibly powerful magic...
Suddenly, six purple magic rings appeared in the air around the legendary Blood Elf Archmage Amans, each ring condensing a different kind of magic... fire, frost, shadow, lightning, life, light...
Six magic circles spun rapidly, unleashing six magical bombs in rapid succession, like an old-fashioned Maxim machine gun. This single person's firepower covered the entire Isle of Atonement, including every corner of the island. The Scourge, Kel'Thuzad, Terra, Lieutenant Leylan, and the City of the Dead, Enkira, which had already descended to a certain altitude, were all within range of the attack.
"Get down!"
Faced with the overwhelming, all-encompassing barrage of magical projectiles... Terra, having witnessed her teacher's methods firsthand, couldn't help but shout, ordering the survivors to lie down on the spot... Then she forcibly erected a magical shield, and her companions also activated their defenses, holding up shields or using corpses as cover...
At this point, there's no time to worry about anything else...
Archmage Romans was a force to be reckoned with, a single man wielding what was essentially a fleet. Kel'Thuzad sidestepped, dodging a barrage of magical projectiles... The base behind him was instantly devastated. Terra seemed to see a familiar figure plummeting from the sky into the sea...
"court death!"
