With the energy from the Maw, the Scourge could make more changes in the future, but soon, Arthas discovered some clues.
"Is this really the case..." Arthas looked at Yogg-Saron who had lost consciousness and turned into the river of Styx, but he became more vigilant.
This is not because he is worried that Yogg-Saron did not die, was washed away by the River Styx as a river, and was tricked by the warden. After all, Yogg-Saron is only an ancient god, not the Lord of the Void.
Arthas's vigilance was directed at the River Styx that broke into the world. When the "river" connected to Azeroth, the existence of the River Styx always had some impact on Azeroth.
This impact is not big, but it cannot be said to be small. Under the stimulation of death energy, the undead in Azeroth will become more active, and with such a branch of the Styx, many undead will be attracted to the underworld. Come here, this may lead to some unpredictable situations.
Arthas plans to send more people to look after the soul engine immediately after returning. It is best to get a screening system as soon as possible to avoid using some native souls of Azeroth as fuel.
Moreover, the River Styx not only activates the soul energy of Azeroth, but also stimulates the resurrection of the dead. I am afraid that the number of resurrections of the dead on Azeroth will increase in the future.
Fortunately, most of the energy of the Styx was absorbed and used by Icecrown Citadel's soul engine. Some of the power dissipated was not enough to plunge Azeroth into a carnival of the undead, but some people had obsessions in life. , people with extraordinary strength and whose souls are still lingering on Azeroth are likely to be resurrected.
"It seems that I have to send some 'guides' to prevent these powerful resurrected undead from causing any trouble on Azeroth." Arthas sighed softly, comparing the benefits obtained and the consequences to the warden. Judging from the losses, such side effects can be said to be minimal, and if these resurrected dead are willing, they can join the Scourge Legion and increase the power of the Scourge.
Arthas never thought of launching a great cleansing of the undead on Azeroth and turning living beings into undead warriors on a large scale. Death and life are a cycle of unity of opposites. If there is no life, then death will no longer exist. exist.
Such an arrogant move would undoubtedly bring destruction to the entire Azeroth, but this extreme idea of turning life into undead gave Arthas an idea.
If you put a complete soul into a body that can be driven, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a steady stream of troops?
Maldraxxus of the Shadow Realm uses this method to select suitable "pilots" to control the structures built by the craftsmen, but the abominations of the Shadow Realm have their own uniqueness. At least their production materials must be consistent with the real world. The ordinary flesh and blood are different.
There are not that many "excellent" quality raw materials on Azeroth to create an army of structures. However, since death and life check and balance each other and promote each other, then maybe the Scourge actually has a "violent" life that meets the requirements.
That's right, the seeds of the original ancestor Jing Beast.
The original thorn beasts are the epitome of the ancient wild life of Draenor. These plant giants evolved from the original plant life of Draenor. They have the ability to build an entire ecosystem, and this almost god-like power Let them be worshiped as gods in the original beliefs of Draenor civilization.
But just as animals eat plants, the original thorn beast and the plant life he spawned also need enough nutrients. In addition to getting it from the planet itself, flesh and blood creatures are the best "fertilizer" in their flower fields.
In short, if the original thorn beast wants to create intelligent creatures, it must need two conditions: soul and nutrients.
The power of souls in the universe is of course almost infinite, but the amount of it that can be deposited on a planet is limited. The reason why Azeroth can breed so many lives is not only because of the creation of Titan, but also because of other It itself draws a massive amount of soul energy.
When these soul energies precipitated on the planet, or something similar to primitive anima, were combined with the elements on the planet, the ancient elemental creatures on Azeroth were born.
It is precisely because of this that life can continue to flourish, and now, Arthas happens to hold the seed of the original thorn beast. In the past, the resources of the Scourge Legion were "scarce" and were not enough to support such a giant beast. , but now, Yogg-Saron itself is a huge "mine" of flesh and blood!
Arthas didn't think that the primitive thorn beasts could digest the flesh and blood of the ancient gods. Draenor had once had, or had always had, faith in void life, but these voids that were good at penetrating could not corrupt the Evergreen Woods at all. , the void cannot threaten these ancient lives.
What's more, Yogg-Saron's soul has been washed away by the River Styx, and without the control of consciousness, a corpse may still exude ominousness and curses that can drive mortals crazy, but for creatures like the original thorn beast, it is basically No effect.
With the original ancestral thorn beast, the Scourge Legion can use the body of the ancient god and the Styx to create a steady stream of troops, and those sinful souls that have been squeezed by the soul engine and broken into pieces can also be passed through the original ancestral thorn beast. Abilities are transformed into new members with complete souls!
This is not to mention the knowledge and wisdom that natural disasters can extract from these souls themselves. The souls from countless worlds are still extremely evil people. They are destined not to be ordinary criminals. They more or less control the secrets of their world. Ancient secrets and truths.
After Yogg-Saron died, his body lost support and began to sink. After watching Yogg-Saron's last tentacle fall into the River Styx, Arthas cheered up.
"Now we just need to do a good job in the aftermath..."
He planned to add a seal to this gap in the Styx to keep it as far away from the real plane as possible, at least to sleep under the earth forever, so as not to affect the normal cycle of life and death.
But soon after he began his work, a violent vibration interrupted Arthas's spell.
What happened?
Alsace felt the terrible movement of the earth shaking, and immediately contacted Lothar, who was still commanding on the outer front.
After Lothar felt something, he immediately shared his vision with Arthas, "Have you already dealt with the ancient god?"
"That's right, this is..." Arthas looked at the scene in the soul vision and was a little surprised.
"As you can see, a huge black dragon with its whole body on fire suddenly rushed into the battlefield, causing the unsuspecting dragon clan to lose several people. It also shattered half of the mountain range and part of the city wall of Ulduar."
Lothar sent a message while ordering his high-level undead to tighten their battle lines. Now that Alsace has solved the culprit, they can also reduce their losses. Although with Alsace's protection, the souls of the undead will not be easily destroyed. , but it would also be troublesome if too many bodies were lost.
Anyway, that black dragon looked crazy, just releasing his power on the battlefield aimlessly. It was not only the dragon that suffered, but also those structures that had completely fallen.
"That's Neltharion, how could he appear in Northrend at this time?" Arthas started to prepare the seal again, full of questions at the same time.
"How do I know? I'm just an ordinary dead person. How can I know these secrets?" Lothar commanded while not forgetting to talk, "But this Black Dragon King seems to be no match for Malygos and the others!"
"It's true that Neltharion is strong, but that doesn't mean he can act recklessly in front of multiple dragon kings who have complete guardian powers." Arthas also relaxed a little, but Neltharion's words, Malygos and the others It's completely manageable now, not to mention judging from the picture, Neltharion seems to have not yet completed his set of invulnerable elementium armor.
"Wow, it looks pretty painful this time." Lothar exclaimed as he saw a lavender arcane spear dozens of meters long piercing one of Neltharion's wings. "It seems that if the Black Dragon King doesn't run away, he may have to be found here today."
"That's not bad." Alsace replied casually, already turning his attention away from the screen.
But soon, Lothar's next words forced him to pause what he was doing.
"Uh, what is that blue light? Hmm... It seems to be a human-shaped thing, but it seems a bit too big. It is taller than those Vrykul people, but it is somewhat similar to a structure."
Blue figure?
Alsace subconsciously turned his gaze back, and soon, the dullness on his face disappeared.
——Olgalon? ! Why would he show up now!
