Chapter 453 The Four Knights of Apocalypse
The so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is not a title familiar to most living people...
Within the Scourge, this title represents the Lich King's will, signifying "War, Plague, Famine, and Death!" Since the damaged remnant soul of the Lich King Ner'zhul and the Death Knight Prince Arthas successfully merged, the true dual-soul Lich King Arthas & Menethil were born...
The power of the Crown of Domination and the runic sword Frostmourne have merged into one...
To be precise, the Lich King can be described as a three-elemental Death Knight and Archmage, a fusion of the Death Knight's body and the Lich's soul... Originally just a Wi-Fi puppet controlled by the Burning Legion, Ner'zhul broke free of its restraints and successfully merged with the chosen perfect body...
The moment the Lich King donned the Crown of Domination and sat upon the Frozen Throne, at least two true gods achieved what they desired...
An existence surpassing the Titans is unknown to the world... and cannot be explained by common sense... its supreme name cannot be uttered. The true master of the undead may be the 'adoptive father' that Lorraine and his apprentice were fortunate enough to encounter, or it may be the supreme will of death itself, known as the destroyer of all realms...
......
In a universe governed by the six fundamental forces, the Burning Legion represents chaos and order. Their master, the Dark Titan Sargeras, seeks to destroy everything and reshape order, resorting to the demonic armies of the Twisting Nether...
The Scourge was originally just a puppet and servant of the Burning Legion, but when the Lich King descended, the undead forces of the Death Order unknowingly devoured all life... They seem to have been deliberately thrown into Azeroth...
The undead race seems to have been created specifically to target those who disrupt the order of life.
The mercy of the god of life is the wrath of the god of death... The forgotten are beings that are neither alive nor dead. Their so-called free will is the root of their suffering and struggle, yet it is also the driving force and foundation of their existence.
Are death and life opposites?
This is worth discussing...
In fact, the Wilderness Gods under the power of life often seek only their own interests and are not very concerned with the so-called struggle between justice and evil.
The souls of the dead should not linger in the mortal realm. The existence of the dead is merely the lingering resentment that sustains their broken and decaying bodies. While disrupting order and rules, it ironically contributes to the continuation of the immortal and eternal.
......
The six fundamental forces: "Life, Death, Order, Chaos, Light, and Shadow..."
Nine factions exist, but the world is not black and white, nor is it static... They are not distinguished by race or appearance; rather, changing behaviors and ideologies define the nine factions...
"Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good!"
Lawful Neutral, Absolute Neutral, Chaotic Neutral!
Lawful evil, neutral evil, chaotic evil!
......
Within every organization, kingdom, race, or power, there are always diverse individuals... whose actions are not simply driven by good or evil... nor are they defined by a simple good or bad definition. Their behavior also gradually changes and shifts in focus over time and with changing motivations...
Titans, as embodiments of order, created everything from nothing... The Titans of the Pantheon were dedicated to creating order, guiding all things to the way they desired... However, when the Titans discovered that order was not acting according to their will, they would immediately destroy anything that violated or broke the rules.
Even more extreme, the Dark Titan Sargeras, who initially resisted the invasion and corruption of inhabited planets by demons and Void forces in the Twisting Nether, gradually became obsessed with the belief that corruption was inevitable and that only by eradicating life at its source could order be rebuilt...
This is undoubtedly a crazy idea that goes against our original intentions...
Did the Dark Titan Sargeras not realize that he himself was the origin of the corruption? The Burning Legion became disciples of chaos, using the name of order to commit destruction...
Therefore, life and death! Order and chaos! Light and shadow!
They have always been interdependent, each supporting the other...
There is no absolute good or evil, only temporary victory and lasting defeat, and justice in the end...
The struggle between the six fundamental forces is the underlying driving force that propels the world of Azeroth... and also the pawn that the Lich King uses to carry out the will of the Shadow, Death, and Chaos factions... As for Lorraine and his apprentice, they were originally just insignificant pawns who unexpectedly fell into the game of Azeroth, a game of life where one side rises and the other falls.
Stirring up a stagnant pool, leaving behind the legend of the necromancer.
......
Having said that!
The soul of the old orc shaman merged with the body of the most powerful human prince...
Who is the master?
It seems that neither can completely control the body independently... The Lich King is neither simply Arthas himself, nor is he the old shaman Ner'zhul, who is merely a remnant soul possessing lich power...
The Lich King seems to have become a heartless machine, only capable of slaughter...
Did Arthas defeat Ner'zhul, or did Ner'zhul devour Arthas?
Or perhaps the two merged into one, both losing their individuality and becoming mere puppets filled with the souls of others... From beginning to end, whether it was Ner'zhul's remnant soul or the fallen prince, they were always puppets of the cursed sword and the Crown of Domination...
Judging from his current behavior, it seems that the Lich King has awakened a third personality?
Becoming more cunning and treacherous, powerful and wise...
The Northrend army of the dead has largely retreated. The Lich King, despite possessing greater power, remains inactive... It's unclear whether he's plotting a larger conspiracy, waiting for an opportunity, or simply enjoying the thrill of seeing the living die tragically.
Has the Lich King evolved into an evil Grim Reaper?
Kel'Thuzad dared not ponder this question further; his life phylactery was in the Lich King's hands...
The Lich King is his ruler...
It is also the source of his strength.
He has no reason not to be loyal...
The existence of the great lich Kel'Thuzad was to dedicate everything to the Lich King. In order to achieve immortality, he had long since abandoned his mortal body... In his soul form, he cast necromancy to help the Lich King lead the Scourge.
Most members of the Scourge are tools, lacking completely independent will.
Their thoughts could even appear in the Lich King's mind at any time, so no one dared to rebel...
However, the body resurrected by the runic sword Frostmourne, and the army of the dead controlled by the Crown and the entire suit of armor, are not entirely under the Lich King's absolute control.
The Lich King's servants and minions vary greatly depending on their rank and the degree to which they are corrupted by the power of death.
For example, most of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were elite soldiers of the Silver Hand who died in battle and were resurrected by Kel'Thuzad at the Lich King's command. They used necromancy, almost identical to the magic wielded by Lorraine...
For example, Highlord Mograine, who rides a red skeletal warhorse, was originally the first Ashbringer who was betrayed and killed by Reno and Mograine... the spiritual leader of the Scarlet Crusade.
He is now considered the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but the Four Horsemen were actually four of the strongest chosen from the Death Knights under the Lich King...
As Lorraine lay sprawled on the ground feigning death, he caught a glimpse of the legendary Scarlet Crusade leader's sword, the Fallen Ashbringer, slung across the Highlord's back. He also felt that another death knight looked vaguely familiar...
