Chapter 484 The Evil Obelisk
The undead themselves aren't scary, especially the so-called zombies and skeletons...
The broken skeleton, without any muscle support, should have been able to be blown away by the wind... What's amazing is that a chilling force is driving and supporting the seemingly fragile remains... This belongs to the supernatural realm, a phenomenon that shouldn't exist in itself.
An existence that defies the natural laws of the world is bound to have its own mystique; perhaps it is a force that does not belong to this world.
Historical records indicate that the Titans brought with them a wondrous power of order, and a force of equal strength also coveted Azeroth, the planet inhabited by life.
The gate to other worlds should not be opened lightly; the power of other worlds is not something mortals can withstand. To bear power beyond one's own limits is destined to result in mutation or aberration...
The Scourge wasn't initially that terrifying; the return of the undead brought more fear and shock to mortals... Necromancy, a dark art that could corrupt the body and manipulate the soul, was once shrouded in mystery and was forbidden from being researched and developed.
Humans infected by the necromantic plague are prone to losing their physical bodies and becoming vengeful spirits.
Trapped in a dead body, becoming a mindless wanderer... just a low-level zombie. As long as you overcome the psychological discomfort, it's not scary at all...
If the residual energy of a vengeful spirit is powerful enough, it can unleash even greater power. Losing its physical body is no longer a weakness...it transforms it into a terrifying, immortal creature existing solely on its remains!
The lich is a higher form of necromancy...
The lich's power lies in the fact that its soul is separated from its body and can move freely by attaching itself to any suitable bone... By absorbing the power of life, the lich can also enhance its necromantic power and, in turn, control more undead puppets.
The Council of Tirisfal had long been aware of the threat posed by necromancers.
......
Undead are not uncommon in Azeroth and have existed for a long time.
Troll mummies already existed during the Troll Age. Among the Noar gods worshipped by the trolls was a god of death who governed souls; the Zandalari trolls called him Bwonsamdi, the god of death...
Strictly speaking, it's more like a named healer of souls, a demigod who rose from the ranks of a wizard.
......
Among the Vrykul are also those who have risen to the rank of Val'kyr, the Angels of Death. Originally Odin, the chief guardian of the Titans, sought to select powerful warriors to become guards of Valhalla, helping the Titans maintain order throughout Azeroth and combat rebels and heretics...
The story of Odin has long been forgotten, but the Angel of Death has reappeared on Earth... fallen into the hands of the Scourge, and now Sylvanas has managed to seize a significant portion of it... making it a secret weapon of the Forsaken.
The ancestors of the Arathi people were the corrupted Vrykul who followed Tyr, the Keeper of Order, to Tirisfal Glades...
Back then, Azadas and Tyr were hunted down by Loken, the Guardian of Wisdom. Tyr perished near the Chapel of the Holy Light...
Azadas hid in Uldaman, intending to report to his master that Loken's betrayal and the Old Gods' curse of flesh had corrupted the Titan creations, recording it on the Golden Disc... but no one delivered the disc... and the Pantheon itself ran into problems.
Years later, the earth spirits gradually evolved into dwarves, and thus multiplied near Loch Modan...
Dwarfs, humanoid beings skilled in mechanical research, are likely descendants and vassals of the Creator King Mimiron...
Humans, dwarves, and gnomes are naturally close, their ancestors being descendants of the original staunch supporters of the Order... They are inherently at odds with traitors, sharing a long-standing hatred and legacy...
The Alliance's self-proclaimed inherent nobility has some historical basis...
The dwarves went to great lengths to trace the history of their ancestors...
However, as the Curse of Flesh spread, the Titan Guardians fell into oblivion one by one. Their descendants were not only the offspring of the Titan Guardians, but also among the descendants corrupted by the blood of the Old Gods.
Especially humans...
The human soul seems far weaker than that of the high elves and trolls...
Lifespan is incomparable to that...
Unexpectedly, the numerical advantage overwhelmed everything.
The Scourge's main force is mostly composed of human corpses... The massive Scourge descended before the Third War after the opening of the Dark Portal... Now, occupying the North and Arctic are special undead created by the Scourge plague and necromancy...
With the help of Death Angels, Death Knights, Underground Spiders, Necromancers, Dreadlords, and even Scourge scientists, the Scourge's technology, magic, and power far surpass any other faction in Azeroth.
It can be described as being empowered by ancient technology and magic, necromancy and alchemical secrets, floating spaceships and terrifying behemoths... the forces of death invading the territory of the living.
A great tomb buried deep underground has flown into the sky, for its core contains an ancient, evil obelisk... within which lies otherworldly technology and mysterious power... the chill of deep space.
Some say that the Shadowlands' rulers are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to follow the Burning Legion, which represents destruction and chaos, to seize the opportunity to infiltrate Elune's so-called territory of life forces.
Logically speaking, this is a bit far-fetched...
It was indeed breathtaking...
The chaos of the gods brought endless trouble to the mortals of Azeroth.
As one of them, Lorraine has no control over her own destiny and can only try her best to fight and break through the chessboard.
Mortals possess the blood of gods, the essence of demons, and the fusion and blessings of multiple powers; naturally, they too must endure the torment and trials of various temptations... Azeroth is great because of its biodiversity...
Humanity shines because of choices and perseverance.
The wonders of this magical world are right here!
......
The Scourge's membership has long surpassed that of ordinary ghosts...
Under the orders of the demon lord Kil'jaeden, the Lich King Ner'zhul was created as a lich. The necromancer Kel'Thuzad and the Cult of the Damned, whom Ner'zhul guided, were the key figures in the formation of the Scourge.
It can be said that without Kel'Thuzad, there would be no Scourge.
Without the Cult of the Cursed God, there would be no tragedy or current situation of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity.
However, without the Scourge and plague, the Forsaken would not exist... Going back a few years, Sylvanas was once a member of the Scourge. It was because the Scourge controlled the undead to slaughter their own relatives that the Forsaken harbored such deep hatred for the Lich King.
When Lorraine awoke, the Forsaken had become independent, joined the Horde, and needed more help.
This fantastical journey through Lorraine...
Many things are heartbreaking.
From a naive and timid magic apprentice to where he is today, his teacher was truly his benefactor...
Though I didn't say it aloud, I was infinitely grateful.
Even though the teacher harbors secrets and some miraculous encounters that he still cannot comprehend.
......
On the twenty-second day, Lorraine traveled from Silverpine Forest to Hillsbrad Foothills, crossing the Alterac Mountains. His original intention was to acquire a cool Frostwolf mount, but he ended up getting caught up in the secret struggle for the Blood of the Old Gods on the front lines of war...
The faceless Void Demon, now manifested from the Bloodstone Egg, was summoned by Twilight Cultists like Born and others at the cost of nearly a thousand civilians in Hillsbrad, along with the Alliance's vanguard forces nearby and the last remaining troops of Galin's Stromgarde...
Actually, the one that was successfully summoned was the Faceless One that was initially hunting down Lorraine...
That Faceless One was far more powerful than the current Void Demon. Had it not strayed into the underground abyss and encountered the Titan's Guardian Crystal... the Faceless One's core was shattered once... the second Faceless One summoned was considerably weaker...
Mayor Bonn and others sacrificed themselves... The Faceless Ones, summoned again, received enough food and their power remained terrifying.
