Sarlayan's kind reminder made Montadi silent for a while.
"The elemental worlds are actually connected to each other? What kind of destructive move is this? Doesn't it make it clear that the four major elements are meant to internalize each other..."
Sarlayan shrugged and said: "It's Odin and his adopted daughter - Hela, the strongest Vrykul witch. By the way, Hela, as the planner, will also be the final executor of this plan."
"Hela..." A cold light flashed in Montadi's eyes: "I remember this name."
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally: 'Actually, you don't have to remember that by the time you return to the material world, Hela will have been dead to nothing. '
As the saying goes, situations are stronger than people.
The fall of the Dark Empire is basically a foregone conclusion, and the arrival of the final moment is just a matter of time.
In the past thousands of years, the four elements have all "contributed greatly" in this war with the Titan creations. No one can escape when the liquidation comes after the war.
At this point, Neptulon didn't have much hope of escaping unscathed. He just wanted to preserve the existing system of the water element as much as possible.
"Whether the goal can be achieved depends on the attitude of the Titan Guardians. Your next actions will also become an important factor affecting the final result."
Sarlayan said sternly to Montardi: "Today, it is impossible for the ancient god who is struggling to spare any extra energy to conduct a thorough internal investigation."
"I won't force you to defect before the battle. Neptulon probably won't make such a risky decision. You just need to take advantage of the situation in the next war."
"After the war is over, with the insinuations of Mimiron and Freya, Laiden should be able to remember the water element's ineffective performance in the later stages of the war, and will consider mitigating the punishment for you to some extent."
"Due to the tremendous damage you have done to the titan creations over the past few thousand years, banishment from the Elemental Plane is unavoidable, but at least there is hope that Neptulon's goals can be achieved."
"As for the future..." Sarlayan spread his hands with a half-smile: "Who can say for sure? Personally, I think you will inevitably usher in the day when you return to the material world in the distant future. "
"Hey~" Montardi sighed with a wry smile: "I hope so too... let's leave the future matters to the future."
"Then, is this settled first?"
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "I will try my best to facilitate this, but there is one more thing I want to ask you."
Montardi responded readily: "Please say, I will try my best to help as long as I can."
…
After listening to Sarlayan's request for help, Montadi put his chin in his hand and thought for a long time.
"If you say so...a strange and incomprehensible event really happened recently."
"oh?"
Sarlayan and Valeela suddenly became interested: "Please tell me in detail."
Montadi: "According to the information my lord Neptulon received from Al'Akir the Windrider not long ago, the souls of the faceless men under C'Thun often disappear."
"The battle on the front line is not going well, and strange things like this happen in the rear. C'Thun has been furious several times, sternly asking the faceless men and high-level Qiraji to investigate the matter thoroughly. Al'Akir has also been disappointed. .”
"Soul, missing?"
Sarlayan and Valeela looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Again, creatures of the ancient pantheon are difficult to kill outright.
As long as the souls are still there, these flesh and blood monsters will have a greater chance of being reborn as time goes by.
The key point is that the soul is still there.
Without a soul, it is like a car without an engine. No matter how much oil you put into the tank, it will be in vain.
Speaking of cars, Saryan thought of this emerging industry monopolized by his own family, and planned to check it out personally after returning.
At this point, no matter how arrogant C'Thun is, he can see clearly the direction of the general trend. The collapse of the Dark Empire will be a matter of time.
The good news is that the Titan Guardians are concerned about the damage they may cause to Azeroth and have no intention of violently pulling them out of the ground and killing them.
Enzos, who was sealed in Ny'alotha, is a clear example.
Since it will not die, it is just a seal, C'Thun has begun preparing in advance for breaking the seal and escaping in the future. One of its plans is to hide its elite combat power until the future.
However, C'Thun's plan had just been put into effect, and the souls of important faceless men and high-level Qiraji disappeared one after another.
According to Al'Akir, not even C'Thun could find any trace of the disappearance of these souls.
"Well..." Sarlayan narrowed his eyes and quietly communicated with Valeela through the soul link: "According to the information provided by Freya, although the parasitic ancient gods of Azeroth failed to step into the threshold of true gods, their His strength ranks among the top among demigods."
The four ancient gods have been parasitic on Azeroth for tens of thousands of years and absorbed a large amount of star soul essence. It is normal for them to grow to the size they are today.
Even if C'Thun is distracted by the unsatisfactory battle on the front line, there are definitely not many beings that can steal souls under the nose of a high-level demigod like him.
Valeera boldly proposed a suspect's name: "Denathius?"
[Why is it him again? You can see this shit stirrer everywhere. 】
【if not? Why do you think Denathrius created Nathrezim against the opposition of other Eternals? 】
[After Revendreth's battle with the Legion of Light, under pressure from other Eternals, Denathrius was forced to agree to banish Nathrezim from the Shadow Realm. 】
[But this is just a move to escape the golden cicada that has been prepared for a long time. The nathrezim that have dispersed and penetrated throughout the universe have brought back a large amount of information to Denathrius over the years, which must also include information about Azeroth. . 】
The Eternal One, as the name suggests.
As a creation of the First Creation, Denathrius's lifespan is eternal and endless. God knows how many years he lived.
At least in Sarlayan's opinion, as one of the apex-level creatures with the original power of the universe, this guy's age should be about the same as that of the Titans of the Pantheon.
...Of course, the difference here seems to be based on the true god's concept of time as a standard reference, and the error may be tens of thousands of years.
In other words, Denathrius already existed in Azeroth's ancient times.
It should be noted that before the Titan Guardians defeated the Dark Empire and established the Forge of Will and the Forge of Origin, the Pantheon had not yet constructed a planetary defense barrier for this newborn planet.
With Denasius' ability, he can naturally come and go in this unprotected world.
Not to mention that C'Thun is busy on the front lines resisting the attacks of Odin and other guardians. Even if it devotes all its attention to catching thieves, the final result will most likely be in vain.
What? Why don't you think Denathrius would target the more numerous Titan creations?
Before the Forge of Will was established, the low-level Titan creations had no intelligence at all, and naturally could not produce souls. To Denathrius, they were low-grade food that even gnashed his teeth after eating.
[Could this be the so-called singularity of time and space? 】
[Didn’t Xiao Sa say it all? The so-called singularity of time and space is only a possibility and does not necessarily exist. 】
[Anyway, in this era of being undefended from the outside world, Sarlayan must find a way to cut off Deansius's black hand, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. 】
Sarlayan generally agreed with the barrage's suggestion. After sending away the worried Montardi, he and Valeera conducted an in-depth analysis on the matter.
"First of all, one thing can be certain." Sarlayan said solemnly: "With Denasius' caution, he will definitely not take the risk of landing on this planet that has been paid more attention to by the Pantheon."
Valeera agreed and said: "Yes, he should be able to create a projection to steal chickens from Azeroth."
"The projection is different from the clone that possesses Frostmourne. The main body is not directly connected to it."
Sarlayan carefully analyzed: "In order to avoid causing Titans to chase the network cable and beat up after the incident is exposed, I guess that Denathrius should give this projection higher intelligence and completely cut off the connection with the main body. "
"The only function of this projection is to transport the collected souls back to the Shadow Realm... By the way, what is the situation of Zoval in this era? Has he become a warden? Or is he still an arbiter?"
