Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Riding in a star-sized mothership, Sargeras rushed to the place reported by the constellar. From the position of the star map, it was tens of thousands of light-years away from where he was.
This distance was nothing to Sargeras. He could travel the universe by himself, but he would occasionally use transportation.
Over the long years, the titans of the Pantheon had possessed equally powerful strength in the mystical and scientific fields. In fact, for any creature with a divine spark, spying on the underlying laws of the world was an instinct. It was especially so for titans. To them, be it the mystical or scientific sides, they were the truths of the universe, and these truths were all visible in their eyes.
In this enormous mothership, the intelligent beings of dozens of races served Sargeras. They all came from a world of order shaped by the Pantheon. They each had their own duties and obeyed Sargeras’s orders to pilot and maintain this ship for him, but they would not participate in Sargeras’s campaign against demons.
The reason was simple. Sargeras alone was enough. He was invincible!
After a few wormhole jumps, Sargeras, who had shrunk his body in the main control room of the ship, received a report that he had reached the target world. At the same time, the projection of a planet emerged from the floor of the ship.
Sargeras stared at the projection of this planet for a while before walking to the observation window to observe the physical planet. Then he shook his head.
Still nothing… Even though we’ve established worlds of order, the probability of birthing world-souls is too low… Sargeras thought.
In addition to carrying out the orders of the Pantheon and eliminating demons in the Twisting Nether, Sargeras also had another quest on his shoulders, which was to as many worlds as possible where world-souls existed… Or rather, all the titans of the entire Pantheon shouldered this mission when they went out. To them, searching for their kind was their most important mission.
The titans had once visited this planet. Due to the existence of intelligent life, the titans had established a world of order on this planet and monitored it so that this planet would develop according to their expectations. They hoped that this order could help the planet give birth to a world-soul.
But clearly, not every seed could germinate…
It didn’t matter if there was no world-soul. This was a good thing for Sargeras because he could then do whatever he wanted.
Sargeras’s body disappeared from the mothership and then appeared in space. He restored his titan body and floated toward this planet with Gorshalach in his hand.
In Sargeras’s understanding, the moment he appeared near a planet, those damn demons would know of his arrival. Then, due to feeling a strong threat of death, the demons would escape frantically or overestimate themselves and fly out of the planet to attack him. This was the experience that he had summarized from many cases. These unorganized and ununited demons often did this.
Yes, Sargeras wanted to use his existence to force the demons out. After all, this planet was one of the worlds of order, and he didn’t want to destroy it because of his battle with the demons. He had to preserve what he could.
But what was strange was that when he was close to this planet, his imagined scene of demons rushing over didn’t appear.
But then Sargeras remembered what the constellar had reported. It seemed that a ruler had appeared among the demons on this planet.
This wasn’t surprising. Sargeras had studied demons and knew very well the strict hierarchy among demons. Usually, when there was not much difference in strength among a group of demons, none of them would obey the other, and there would even be internal strife. But when a demon whose individual strength exceeded the group appeared, the demons would follow its orders. Sargeras had actually encountered many of them during his battles.
But most of the time, although there were powerful demon commanders, the demons were still crazy. Perhaps Void power had corroded their brains in the Twisting Nether, or perhaps it was the violent tyrannical nature of demons. In short, in Sargeras’s opinion, most demons didn’t have much intelligence to speak of, and they advocated fighting with strength.
Therefore, the current situation was a little strange. Sargeras was certain that the demons knew that he was here, but they seemed to be restrained and didn’t intend to rush out of the planet to fight him.
Sargeras quickly figured out what the demons were thinking. They planned to fight him in this world of order… It seemed that the powerful individual commanding the demons this time was relatively smart.
With a cold snort, Sargeras shrunk his body and planned to descend directly on this planet.
Since it was a transformed world of order, this planet naturally had a planetary shield, a planetary shield used to defend against the invasions of demons. This shield arranged by the Pantheon naturally wouldn’t obstruct Sargeras.
At least this was what Sargeras thought. But when he tried to descend, he discovered to his embarrassment that although the planetary shield was still functioning, it was blocking him! He actually couldn’t descend to the surface of this planet with his true body.
What’s going on?! Sargeras was a little confused.
There was only one explanation for this situation. The demons had tampered with the planetary shield! But Sargeras wouldn’t believe this guess no matter what because a similar situation had never happened before. Even if those damn demons destroyed the planetary shield, it was impossible for them to tamper with it. They didn’t have this ability and knowledge!
But after thinking about it, Sargeras couldn’t think of a better explanation…
For a moment, he was curious. It seemed like the fellow commanding the demons this time was unusual…
Unable to descend in his true body, Sargeras thought for a while before returning to the mothership. Then he got the mothership to contact the natives of this planet. There were also guardians among the natives of this planet, and he could use them to carry out a ritual to let his incarnation come.
Yes, in Sargeras’s opinion, even an incarnation was enough to sweep away the demons on this planet. He had this confidence.
The influence of the Pantheon was quite far-reaching in this world of order, so Sargeras quickly sensed the summon of the natives. With the help of the ritual, a spatial channel was opened on the mothership. After Sargeras’s figure blurred, an incarnation identical to him split out from him and walked into the spatial channel.
The moment Sargeras walked out of the channel, he appeared on the surface of the planet. Moreover, he was in a huge temple, and a group of native guardians was prostrating in the temple to welcome the arrival of their god.
Yes, god! Sargeras was a male titan. At this moment, he had not fallen, so he was still his former appearance. Wearing a battle skirt and pauldrons on his shoulders, with two fluttering sashes on his chest, his body was extremely imposing. The light of runes was shimmering on the armor and sashes. The exposed parts of his body were full of bronze skin and explosive muscles. His long black hair hung down on both sides of his resolute face, and there was a headband tied around his forehead. His beard was tied into a braid and hung down under his chin. His dazzling eyes made it impossible to look directly at him. His entire being exuded an indescribable majesty.
The native guardians looked excitedly at Sargeras, the strongest Champion of the Pantheon, and expressed their reverence to him in their respective languages.
Sargeras ignored their worship and looked down to ask about the situation.
Then he learned that the demon invasion on this planet had come without warning and directly from the outside.
Unlike the natives of Azeroth, who courted death themselves, the natives of this planet had always followed the doctrines of the titans and had not studied any dangerous magic or rituals to summon demons. But three months ago, countless demons had suddenly appeared in the starry sky. They had come from the stars and then directly attacked this planet.
In the beginning, the planetary shield indeed blocked them, and all their attacks were fruitless. But not long after, the planetary shield suddenly disappeared, as though a demon had sneaked onto the planet and closed it.
As a result, a large number of demons rushed straight into this world and began to cause destruction continuously. The natives resisted and fought against the demons. They united and swore to protect the equipment left by the titans to the death.
Fortunately, there was a constellar monitoring this planet. After discovering that something was wrong, he immediately reported it to the Pantheon. The Pantheon found that Sargeras was near this part of the universe, so they got the constellar to contact him to solve it.
After hearing the whole story, Sargeras felt even stranger. The planetary shield had been turned off and then tampered with? What kind of demon could do this?
“The demon commanding the demon army is very powerful. He calls himself the King of Despair, Osiris!” the native guardians replied. “He came riding on an evil dragon flying in the sky and brought countless demons to spread despair and destruction on the ground…”
“King of Despair Osiris?” Sargeras thought about it and found that he had never heard such a demon name in the Twisting Nether, but he didn’t care at all. “It doesn’t matter. I will take action!”
Sargeras’s incarnation walked straight out of the temple because he could already sense countless demons surging toward him like a tide in the distance.
He raised his head and looked at the distant sky. There, he sensed a gaze. As the natives had said, it was a strange dragon flying in the sky, and a demon exuding a powerful aura was standing on the head of this evil dragon…
