Azeroth Trail of Light

No flames are allowed in the Shadowlands.

This is the rule, but whether it is Dick's holy flame or Jaina's magic flame, it is not a real flame and can be burned, but exposed to the rules of the kingdom of shadows, it will become quite difficult to maintain that flame , will consume many times more power than the current world.

In addition, there is another kind of flame that can also burn in the land of shadows.

Undead fire, bone fire, all flames composed of negative energy, such as the flame that Hela ignites on her body now.

It's white, without a trace of warmth, but if you dare to stretch out your hand, it will definitely be burnt to ashes in an instant. It doesn't affect the body, but the soul.

Hela is using this method to release the rules of the Kingdom of Shadows. She is not repenting, let alone forgiving. It is just because the news brought by Dick is too horrifying, and it has happened to the belief she has been insisting on for tens of thousands of years. The conflict caused her to doubt herself.

This suspicion made her unable to maintain her own existence.

Don't forget, Hela is the first Val'kyr transformed by Odin. Creatures like Val'kyr are already pure energy creatures. Faith and soul mean more to them than to ordinary people. many.

Unable to hold on to their beliefs will cause them to lose control of most of their power at the moment of collapse. Guys like Hella who associate themselves with the distorted rules of the Kingdom of Shadows will only suffer worse when their beliefs collapse. , and even threaten self-existence.

But Hela didn't resist, and just let the white flame lick her body. She stood up and sat in the fire, looking at the sky of the Kingdom of Shadows with hatred, as if she wanted to see through the Thick clouds, seeing Odin, the person she has hated for tens of thousands of years.

She believed that that person was also paying attention here.

When hatred has become a habit, we no longer need to consider whether it is normal and reasonable.

Beside the Gate of Heaven in Valagar, Odin leaned on Gungnir and stood there silently. His one eye shone with a clear light, and in the deepest part of that eye, there was a trace of pain that could hardly be seen .

As the God King of Valagar, he is lonely and must be strong, so he can only be weak when there is no one else. Heimdall and Al guard the edge of the gate of the sky, ensuring that no one will approach, Yes, just as Hella guessed, Odin has been watching this battle.

Through the boundary between the two worlds, this will seriously interfere with Odin's power, but if he just sees it, it's okay. He saw Hela in the flames, and his body was ignited by the faint white flames, and he suffered The painful Hella whose soul is slowly splitting.

Seeing those eyes in the flames, those eyes containing anger and hatred, he has seen those eyes countless times in the tens of thousands of years, but only this time, it reminded Odin of the man who fought under his command back then. , sealed the elemental lord, resisted the servants of the ancient gods, and even resolutely stood by Odin's daughter after the conflict between Odin and the guardian.

Odin once regarded her as a real daughter, but unfortunately, they eventually embarked on the road of hostility.

Except for the day when he guessed that the Pantheon had been destroyed, Odin's heart had never been so painful as it is today.

"Hella... haven't let go of the hatred in my heart?"

"No…"

Hella seemed to see the enemy's face in her blurry eyes, and she seemed to see the man trying to persuade her to give up the hatred, but she shook her head,

"No! I don't want to!"

"Why me! Odin, tell me, why me! Is it only because of the responsibility of the titan creation? Or because I sided with the mortals when we first disagreed, because I broke your majesty ? Your majesty as a god king, as a father?"

"..."

Silence, Odin's answer was silence.

"Hahaha!"

Most of Hela's body was ignited by the flames, and she laughed wildly, "I knew it! I knew it! Under that proud heart, there is a majesty who is unwilling to submit, unwilling to retreat, even for the sake of paranoia. , A lunatic who can sacrifice even his daughter! I knew it!"

"I will surrender to death, but never to you...Odin! I will not forgive you, I hate you! I will curse you in hell! There I will raise my army and reshape my sea Ragal, don't come too early... I will give you back the pain you gave me, no more, no less!"

"After that...we'll settle...I'll wait for you!"

The last flame ignited, covering Hela's paranoid and crazy eyes, and Odin stayed there until a few minutes later, he sighed majestically and walked towards his throne in a lonely figure. The moment he turned around, he His lips moved slightly, as if to say,

"I'm sorry... my daughter."

But this fleeting weakness disappeared after turning around, and he became the invincible and powerful god king again. He looked at Heimdall,

"Heimdall, my warrior, the Hall of Valor is about to be unsealed. When necessary, you take the Legion of Valor to Northrend to help the Great Guardian conquer Ulduar and clean up the corruption there. During this period, follow the instructions of the Great Guardian. Guardian's order."

Heimdall froze for a moment, then asked,

"The Great Guardian? Dick?"

Odin glanced at him, "Yes, Dick!"

After finishing speaking, the God King of Valagar turned into a thunder light similar to Dick and disappeared on the golden platform. Heimdall and Al looked at each other, then turned and left.

Valagar is about to be unsealed, and the Heroic Spirit Corps is about to usher in the first battle, which cannot be sloppy.

But in the Kingdom of Shadows, with Hela's last breath, when the last wisp of mist disappeared into the sky, the dark sky had already changed into another look.

Hella's rule over the Kingdom of Shadows has come to an end, and this half-plane has returned to its original appearance. The sky is not bright, but it is never dark, just like the sky at dusk, always covered with a layer of yellow The ray of light looks extremely magnificent, and in the distance ahead, there is a smear of red glow, which seems to be a scene like a burning cloud, as if the sun is about to be born.

But here, the sun never rises.

The ground covered with bones and shipwrecks has been completely purified by the light feathers and flames just now, and is covered with gray dust, but it is no longer dirty as before, but looks simple and simple.

The sea in the distance is still filthy, but without Hela, the biggest source of filth, these dirty seawater will become clear in a short period of time, but it’s useless. This is the kingdom of the dead after all, so don’t Expect lots of life here.

This will become a complete cycle, a cycle that is very different from the present world, but has its own rules.

Without Hella's will, the rules of the Kingdom of Shadows will no longer actively corrode everyone's bodies, but the suppression still exists. This place is called the Kingdom of Shadows, and it is the shadow of the present world. Naturally, we cannot expect it to be exactly the same as the present world.

Dick, who was carrying Anvena on his back, held Liadrin in one arm, and Jaina walked beside him. Anduin and Gavincent went to explore the way ahead. The fog still shrouded the world, but there was no It's as thick as before.

Like a cloud of dust blocking the view.

"Hmm... Is Hela dead? An Weina has also been rescued. Everything here is over... What a crazy trip."

Dick emotionally embraced the high elf in his arms, felt the fragrance of her hair, and said to his wives-to-be,

"Let's go home, it's been too long since we've been away."

Jaina took Liadrin's other hand, and the mage lady looked around in confusion,

"How should we go back, the Naglfar has been destroyed..."

"Mentor! Mentor! We have spotted a ship ahead!"

Anduin yelled and rushed out of the mist, and then held up a green diamond-shaped gemstone and a very simple lantern, "I found these in the pile of ashes! It may be related to Hela related."

Dick took the green gem curiously, and the power penetrated into it, but there was no feedback. It didn't look like something left by an existence like Hela. As for the lamp, Dick had the impression that it was in the original history. In , the lamp was given to Queen Sylvanas of the Forgotten by Hella. It is said that this lamp has the power to collect and imprison the dead.

It is one of Hela's treasures, but now it looks like a souvenir, because it is the size of a palm.

Dick said that these two things were put away, and he followed Anduin forward for a few minutes. He saw Gavincent's tall figure and a ship docked on the coast ahead of the Na'vikul warrior.

Unlike the Naglfar, this new ship looks like a large dragon boat that Vrykul people often use. There is also a white bone lamp hanging on it. The style is similar to the one Dick just got. The lamp was almost identical.

"It seems that the Naglfar should be one of the rules of the Kingdom of Shadows."

Gavincent scratched his head, and was the first to walk onto the ship, and sat down with him, the bone lamp was lit up, and the whole ship began to move forward slowly, and the Vrykul waved at them,

"Come on, let's get out of here!"

Dick grinned.

"Okay, go home!"

As several people stepped onto the boat, Dick couldn't help but look back at the Kingdom of Shadows on the sea that had become quiet again. This place, the road they walked on, was slowly Shrouded in mist, it seems that this is the place to bid farewell to them, and farther away, the sky in the distance is so beautiful, it is really hard to imagine that such a quiet place will become so ugly and violent before .

"There's something there!"

Sitting on the ship's side, Anduin, who was playing with the two little guys, Immersus and Resch, with the holy flame emblem in his arms, raised his head and suddenly found something different. He yelled loudly, attracting everyone's attention. attention.

Dick looked forward along Anduin's finger, sure enough, there was something there!

They are small wooden boats like canoes, each wooden boat is lit with a white candle in front, and there is a person sitting on those small boats, their expressions are either peaceful or hideous, some of them are old and young, There are humans, orcs, tauren, dwarves, and even elves.

They wear all kinds of clothes, but through Dick's eyes, their identities are clear at a glance.

It's a ghost.

For those who have died, the rules of the Kingdom of Shadows are restored. This world of the dead is open to all the dead. They will start their lives here again. They will be the first in this dusty land for tens of thousands of years. batch visitors.

"Stay away from them, Anduin!"

Dick said something in a low voice, and the little prince immediately withdrew his hand. He is not an idiot. It is impossible for thousands of these small wooden boats to appear on the sea in front of him at the same time, and this is still the land of shadows, so there is only one explanation. The prince explained in horror.

Dick's eyes searched for these undead, and finally fell on a young man wearing the scarlet crusader's shirt. Behind him, there were dozens of warriors also wearing armor. The paladin's eyes became serious. .

During this period of time, there was almost no fighting in the northern border. The whole of Lordaeron was working hard for the reconstruction of the country. Therefore, there was only one reason for the death of the Scarlet Crusader, and that was the only reason.

Borean tundra, the battle against the undead, the Northern Expedition, a large-scale war, has begun!
