Nozdormu's reply made Arthas' heart almost stop for a beat. At this moment, the meteorites in front of them floated away, and a devastated planet appeared in front of Arthas' eyes.
Green scars tore this originally beautiful planet apart, and evil energy full of filth and stench continued to flow out of the immature star soul.
Azeroth is "dead", both externally and internally.
However, what puzzled Arthas was that he did not see any traces of demons around Azeroth. The wanton eruption of evil energy showed that the demons had been cruel to her, but the demons did not let Azeroth. Xerath became the second Argus.
"You're weird, aren't you?" Nozdormu's calm and somewhat indifferent voice reached Arthas's ears.
Arthas nodded in response.
"After destroying Azeroth, Sargeras fell into silence again. In the eyes of the stubborn Dark Titan, this matter could only be done by him. But after it was actually completed, Sargeras personally destroyed the Burning Titan. Legion, wandering into the depths of the universe alone.”
In other words, the Burning Legion that destroyed Azeroth eventually became the burial object of Azeroth. For the absolute "justice" of the universe, the Dark Titan, who did not hesitate to destroy his own compatriots, finally chose self-exile.
But the absolute "justice" in Sargeras's eyes was to cleanse the entire universe, but he only destroyed Azeroth. Why did the faith of this titan who once conquered the universe with iron-blooded hands collapse?
As if aware of Arthas' inner doubts, Nozdormu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. This is the limit of what I can see."
"Is this the end of time?"
"Yes," Nozdormu turned to look at Arthas, "This is the end of time that I can see after you appear."
Alsace's heart was shaken, and he stood stiffly on the spot, and all the thoughts and ideas in his heart were turned into nothing.
"I control the power of time, so I am forced to know the exact date and method of my death - for an Aspect Dragon who controls time, this is a rather ridiculous and incomprehensible fate.
Therefore, Mnozdo appears. However, this does not represent the end of time, but the chaos of time.
I thought that as long as I reversed time and changed the flow direction, I would be able to avoid the fate of death, but time will eventually blind everyone's eyes, even me. I have not been able to escape despite countless attempts and countless twists. die. "
Nozdormu's words were like an aside from the story, but they made Arthas' hair stand on end.
"From the moment I was given power, I saw my own death and the destruction of the world. The timeline almost drove me crazy, and I had to make sure that among these endless timelines, there was the only one that was real. That was the only way for the bronze dragon to avoid self-destruction.
At least, 'twenty-four years ago', I could not escape the fate of death. "
Arthas didn't say a word, but he already held the holy sword Ashbringer and the magic sword Frostmourne tightly in his hands.
Twenty-four years ago, it was the time when he was born on Azeroth - the identity of Nozdormu in front of him had already given Arthas constant warning.
The holy light and the power of death in Alsace are constantly intertwined, merging and growing. Light and darkness cannot stand alone, but are interdependent. Only when the energy at both ends of the order disappears and falls, can the entire universe exist. Birth.
This is also the first time Alsace has allowed himself to enter such a posture. Although he carries a mysterious astrolabe in his body and can control power without being affected by energy, the astrolabe is not omnipotent.
He had tried it once before. Although the superimposed energy of Holy Light and Death allowed him to break through some shackles and briefly enter a new realm, his body was still just that of an ordinary human being. Even with the Holy Light and Death Strengthening cannot reverse that kind of collapse.
But now Arthas was facing an Aspect Dragon, Nozdormu, the most mysterious and unpredictable of all Aspect Dragons. He was not sure of victory, not to mention that he had already entered the Caverns of Time. , located in the other party's territory.
A touch of death energy turned a few strands of hair on Alsace's forehead white. One of his pupils was filled with holy light, and the other was ignited with blue nether fire.
Frostmourne made a gentle sound, and the runes on the sword lit up one by one. The depleted meaning of death immediately poured into the small broken star where Arthas and Nozdormu stood. Cold, death, and decay were here. Quickly condensed on the Death Star.
The Holy Light energy on the Ashbringer has almost condensed into a liquid state. The high-purity Holy Light explodes like lightning, lighting up the universe and the starry sky in gold, while the Holy Light Crystal rotates and vibrates at high speed, constantly Breathe the power provided by Arthas into the Ashbringer.
Arthas was not completely without confidence: he was stepping on the remains of a dead planet, and this planet also gave birth to an unborn Titan. This place itself represented death and destruction, and the power of Frostmourne would instead Enhanced again.
And he holds an astrolabe, the darkness of the void represented by the starry sky of the universe, and the other side is pure light. Coupled with the characteristics of the Ashbringer itself, Arthas's strength instantly touched the bottleneck of "mortal".
That is not a "mortal" that represents ordinary people, but represents the power of all life walking on the planet. In other words, the power that Alsace exploded at this moment is almost the pinnacle of the planet's individual power.
In this state, Arthas had the strength to give him a fight even when faced with a being of Archimonde's level. .
The Lich King's power comes from the control of the natural disasters of the undead and the control of the power of the soul, but Arthas does not need any external force. He can easily surpass any Lich King simply by relying on his own control of power.
"Holy light and death coexist, an amazing sight, Your Highness Arthas," Nozdormu's right arm was eroded by a strange blue-black color as he spoke.
His pupils were still shining with bright blue light, and it seemed that he was still the same guardian dragon, but the chaotic time and space power emanating from the bright runes on his arms had exposed everything.
"Mnozdormu, are you pretending to be Nozdormu?" Every time Alsace takes a step forward, his aura will rise. The bright and dark energy on both sides outlines his back like wings. picture of.
At this time, Alsace could no longer control the energy in his body with ease. However, there was no need to complete those delicate operations now. Alsace only needed to stimulate his own power to the extent that he could fight against Mnozdo. That’s it!
The armor carefully crafted by Magni and Muradin could hardly support the power gushing out of Alsace's body. Only a few soft "clicks" could be heard. The solid Thorium armor was eroded by the golden and gray brilliance, first from The gauntlet started to turn into pieces and fell to the ground.
The blue-gold rune cloth cloak was also ignited by the energy. The half-gold and half-icy blue cloaks slid down from both sides. Alsace's shoulder armor was also deformed by the bursting energy, and lights on it lit up representing respectively. The mark of light and death.
He has become detached from mortals and closer to God.
Nozdormu silently watched the changes in Arthas, his expression not changing at all, "You have reached a point that most lives cannot reach. Although I don't know how you did it, I will try your best. Do you have this qualification?"
As his words fell, countless meteorites were pulled by Nozdormu and crashed towards the place where Alsace was standing. Alsace had no intention of moving. He just stood there quietly and let the meteorites hit him. fell on his head.
"boom--"
The violent tremors and roars made the entire floating island extremely unstable, but Nozdormu's body was not affected at all. He stood there, seeming to observe how Arthas would respond to the meteorite rain in the sky. .
"噌-哌!"
The golden holy light soaring into the sky was like the blade of a giant god, directly smashing several meteorites into pieces. Then, dark purple arms formed by countless dark forces flashed out from Alsace's back, pushing away the remaining meteorites or Bounce.
After completing all this, those arms quickly returned to Alsace's back, and slowly gathered into a complex pattern, contrasting with the holy light runes on the other side, as if they were two halves of huge wings, carrying Alsace. It also floated.
Released the left hand holding Frostmourne, and the magic sword floated beside Arthas, while Arthas himself held the Ashbringer tightly with both hands.
Arthas took a deep breath, feeling the power in his body that followed the rhythm of his breathing. A divine light flashed in his eyes, and he appeared in front of Nozdormu as if teleporting. The Ashbringer's sword edge and full of The light of destructive power exploded on Nozdormu's body in an instant.
Nozdormu slowly took a step back. Although Arthas' sword had fallen, he made time flow extremely slowly at that moment, and the seemingly fatal attack did not hit him at all.
However, just as he was out of Alsace's attack range, Alsace immediately came up to him. This time the Ashbringer's slashes were faster, and the golden spear of holy light simultaneously blocked the space around Nozdormu. Locked and watertight.
When the sword blade fell, all the spears of holy light also penetrated Nozdormu's body - light not only breeds all things, but can also destroy all living things.
"good."
Nozdormu's body was penetrated by the light gun, but he seemed to feel no pain. He just said one word, and Arthas immediately felt that he was in a trance for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had returned to the place where he was struck by the meteorite. surrounded.
Turn back time!
Time speeds up!
The time and space outside Alsace suddenly became unstable, and the meteorite was imprinted on Alsace's face at a speed that exceeded his reaction.
At the critical moment, Arthas dropped the Ashbringer and punched out his fists, blocking the two largest meteorites. At the same time, the light and dark wings behind him also blocked other meteorites like giant hands.
"Drink-ah!"
Along with Alsace's anger, the rich power of holy light poured into the meteorites like a stormy wave. The meteorites were directly melted into magma-like material and fell to the ground. The high-temperature lava dripped on Alsace. On his body, the high temperature caused Thorium's plate armor to lose its original shape, and it melted into molten iron and dripped on the ground.
A cold wind of death passed by, and the magma and molten iron on Alsace solidified together again.
Arthas twisted his body, and the brittle plate armor failed to escape the end this time. It turned into ugly black fragments and scattered on the ground, revealing his hardened body.
Now, this body is covered with dense engravings, and the breath of death and holy light is constantly surging in Alsace's body - the explosion just now made it difficult for him to control these rioting powers.
Arthas gasped, and pulled out the Ashbringer stuck on the ground. Frostmourne flew obediently behind him, and the gathered power of death continued to pour into Arthas' body. In his form, , Death Power and Holy Light have the same healing effect.
However, what Arthas himself did not notice was that during the fierce battle with Nozdormu, the arcane disc that had been silent in his body suddenly began to rotate again, and this time, the arcane disc began to rotate again. He also continued to absorb the magical power from the stars.
Under the energy of holy light and death in his eyes, a little blue arcane light was flashing.
Nozdormu curled up his lips, and his smile was fleeting. Arthas stepped on his legs and leaped out. The wings behind him flapped violently, and he flashed in front of Nozdormu again. This time , Ashbringer also raised high, aiming at Nozdormu's head and falling!
Even the Aspect Dragon blessed by the Titan Guardian cannot reverse time multiple times in a short period of time. Moreover, reversing time will also restore Arthas' condition. He only needs to have a limited number of times in Nozdormu. Going back in time prevents Nozdormu from finding a way to defeat him with one blow through backtracking.
Before Nozdormu loses the ability to backtrack, Arthas will make Nozdormu even more busy, so that he has no time to find a way to defeat himself - that is, keep attacking, attacking, and attacking again!
This time, Ashbringer was about to fall on Nozdormu's head, but Nozdormu still refused to dodge.
But just before the Ashbringer was about to fall, Arthas suddenly felt his chest being supported by a hand. At the same time, the time he was in seemed to freeze.
"This is what I'm here for, Your Highness."
Nozdormu's blue-black arm was raised high and pressed against Alsace's chest. Then, the blue runes on his arm flashed instantly, making Alsace unable to open his eyes. of light.
Arthas's heart trembled, but the gathering of the power of the Holy Light and the energy of death was locked in time by Nozdormu, making it extremely slow.
Blue light erupted in Nozdormu's palm, engulfing Arthas entirely, and a bright blue trail even crossed the starry sky above the ruins of Azeroth.
