Chapter 414 The Soulless One
Previously, the town mayor spoke eloquently and casually from a superior position... what was the basis for that?
Naturally, it was because he had seen the blood of the ancient gods... He had obtained what he desired. The ritual was complete; all that remained was to wait for the prophecy to be fulfilled.
......
The Bloodstone Egg shattered? The mayor didn't react much. He just found Lorraine's attempt to stop the Faceless Ones from descending ridiculous.
"Even if the coagulated blood is broken into several pieces, does the effect make any difference?"
Mortals cannot comprehend the effects of the blood of the ancient gods. Just as the dimensions in which void beings live cannot be explained by the laws of physics, or rather, transcend the existing framework of physics...
Mayor Bon said he was originally just an ordinary nobleman of Lordaeron. When Arthas led his army of the dead to slaughter the creatures of Lordaeron... he accidentally hid in a secret stronghold of the Church of Twilight deep in Stratholme with a group of unlucky people.
Everyone was infected and turned into zombies, which took their lives.
They were transformed into servants of the Faceless Ones by the Twilight Cultists...escaping one disaster only to fall into an even greater abyss.
The Lich King's death power destroys life and soul, and all tangible flesh and blood races are targets of attack... When Ner'zhul, the leader of the orcs, refused to accept Kil'jaeden's orders, his body was stripped away piece by piece... making him suffer a fate worse than death, and even his soul could not find release.
Kil'jaeden chose to support the ambitious orc warlock Gul'dan in his rise to power, tasking him with dealing with the draenei and their invasion of Azeroth...
......
Demon Lord Kil'jaeden used a piece of ice from the Twisting Nether to seal Ner'zhul's soul within ice extracted from the deepest void.
This ice, with its ultra-low temperature beyond the comprehension of the mortal world, forced Ner'zhul's already resentful and tormented soul to submit to the demon's feet. Kil'jaeden used abyssal magic to grant Ner'zhul the ability to amplify his soul and thoughts. The ice greatly enhanced his magical abilities; Ner'zhul could hear the voices of all things... even influence their thoughts and control their bodies...
As long as their souls and bodies are separated...
This ability was granted by the icy chill of the Twisting Void and the abyssal magic of the demon lords, transforming many orc warlocks who originally followed the demons into undead lich forms detached from their physical bodies.
They are always bound by runic chains that imprison their souls; in fact, they are all puppets of the Lich King.
The Lich King was originally a tool prepared by the demon lord Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, on the orders of his master, the Dark Titan Sargeras, for another invasion of Azeroth. The dreadlords played a supporting role in this...
The orcs' first invasion of Azeroth failed. Kil'jaeden decided to try a different approach: to corrupt the seven human kingdoms through thought control and to create new troubles to restrain the night elves and dragon guardians of Azeroth.
Thus began the conspiracy of the Cult of Curses and the plague of natural disasters...
The Scourge are the minions of the Burning Legion's demons...
He was also a tool Kil'jaeden intended to use to incite the native inhabitants of Azeroth to fight amongst themselves.
The power of death, the source of the lich, both originate from shadow magic... If the Burning Legion represents blood and fire, aiming to destroy everything, then the Scourge's servants are spirit and ice... an extension of the power of shadow.
In fact, they all originated from the void... which can be considered evil lawlessness.

For details, please refer to the archives of the Crusader Square Fortress in Stratholme, which contains forty-two books, including "The Birth of the Lich King" and "The Scourge of Lordaeron"...
"From [Aegwynn and the War of the Dragons], [Arathor and the War of the Trolls], [Crossing the Dark Portal], [The Civil War in the Plaguelands], [The Exile of the High Elves], [Ironforge - The Awakening of the Dwarves], [Kil'jaeden and the Shadow Pact], [Mount Hyjal and Illidan's Gift], [The Rise of the Blood Elves], [The Betrayal of Sargeras]."
......
The original Alliance of Lordaeron, the Journey of the Traitors, the Dark Portal and the Fall of Stormwind, the Guardians of Tirisfal, the Kaldorei and the Well of Eternity, the Lich King's Victory, the Old Gods and the Order of Azeroth, the Sentinels and the Long Guard, the Two Empires, the World Tree and the Emerald Dream, the War of the Three Hammers, the End of the Second War, Archimonde's Return and the Journey to Kalimdor.
.......
Later came the Dragonflight, the fall of the Empire, Icecrown Glacier and the Frozen Throne, the establishment of Kel'Thuzad and the Scourge, the decline of the orcs, the ancient hatred of the expansion of Kalimdor, the rise of the Horde, the fall of Quel'Thalas and the Sunwell, the War for Grim Batol, and the birth of the Lich King.
.......
Then there's the founding of Quel'Thalas, the expedition to Draenor, the Last Guardians, the new Horde, the Scourge of Lordaeron, the Seven Kingdoms, the War of the Ancients, the War of the Spiders, and the Wrath of the Soul Eaters...
These historical truths are treasured in the secret library of Karazhan. The origin of those books is unknown; they seem to have been obtained by Medivh from the void... It's quite possible they were clues deliberately given to his avatar by Sargeras... Medivh's prophetic role still has some effect; he is atoning for his sins.
Hearing the mayor recount his personal journey, Lorraine recalled the forty-two chapters of scripture her teacher had mentioned...
Hmph, no, they are forty-two mysterious time-related books.
The secret records of world events kept by the Kirin Tor and the mysterious Council of Tirisfal... including the loves and hates of dragons, titans, and even elves and demons... Lorraine roughly understood that the mayor before him did not belong to any conventional power...
The ancient gods behind it were its original enemies.
The mayor and the dozens of Twilight Cultists around him were human survivors of the Stratholme Plague. Unfortunately, the reason they survived was... they offered their flesh and blood to the Faceless Ones in exchange for a state that was neither human nor ghost... the Soulless Ones.
Void creatures feed on the souls of living beings, and the Shadow Void pursues the Naaru... The Naaru are both their enemies and their prey.
The flesh-and-blood life forms on life-bearing planets like Azeroth are considered the most delicious of all. Twilight cultists, through sacrifice, can receive the blessings of the Old Gods, essentially transforming them into imposters...
Life needs food, but the soulless and the imposters do not, because they don't even have mouths...
"You have ruined our immortality ritual! You will pay the price..."
The noisy mayor, Born, was deceived and furious... In reality, he and his clerk had been lurking in the Scourge survivor settlement in Lordaeron during this time. Their mission was to sacrifice more lives.
The Scourge killed humans; the Lich King only wanted their bodies...
The Old Gods desired not only physical bodies, but also the delicious souls... Every life in Azeroth is a treasure evolved from the essence of the Well of Eternity.
This ritual has been performed for thousands of years, dating back to the troll era...
Today, Lorraine merely overturned the food table the mayor had prepared for the ancient gods. The chains pulled by the werewolf servants were not only to cut off the blood energy supply to Mayor Bourne, but also to save the remaining living forces on the wall.
For example, the human paladin Rayleigh and his disciple Britney, as well as the mayor's former servant, the young Blankard... As for Garin, Lorraine doesn't care...
He'd better fall into the abyss sooner rather than later...
Save Lorraine from taking action!
