Chapter 651: Starting From Today, We Are Colleagues

Sargeras was a little annoyed that Roy had let the eredar’s prophet, Velen, go, but strangely, he didn’t blame him too much.

On the one hand, Sargeras was annoyed that Velen didn’t know how to appreciate favors and dared to really escape. He coveted the eredar because he valued their potential. As one of the leaders of the race, if Velen could accept fel energy and become a demon, it would be of great help to the Legion. But the universe was so vast, and there were many races with potential. Lacking one Velen wouldn’t have a significant impact on the Burning Legion. Now that Argus and most of the eredar were already in Sargeras’s control, the few people that Velen took away were not that important to Sargeras.

On the other hand, Sargeras felt that Roy had selfish motives. If he really intercepted Velen and kept him behind, then Sargeras would definitely turn the three leaders of the eredar into demons. At that time, the commanders of the Burning Legion would become four people.

This would bring about a very serious problem, which was the struggle for power.

An even number of decision-makers at this level would lead to a situation where there were equal votes in the internal meetings of the Legion, which was not conducive to making decisions. Moreover, the three leaders of the eredar would subconsciously stand on the same side, and only Roy, a non-eredar demon, would be isolated and ostracized by them. Of course, Sargeras didn’t want to see this happen.

Therefore, he even felt that Roy’s selfishness was a good thing. With Roy letting Velen go, the eredar side would only have Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, so there would be much fewer power struggles within the Legion.

The Burning Crusade was the great plan that Sargeras had envisioned, and he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to it. The stability of authority within the Legion was a powerful guarantee for completing his plan.

Due to these reasons, Sargeras stopped after being annoyed at Roy for a bit and turned his attention to the people Roy brought back.

Junia’s fusion time was up, and she had separated into Julia and Benia. Since the two of them only had the strength of demon lords, although Sargeras was curious about when Roy found two adjutants, he didn’t pay much attention to them. Instead, he was more interested in the dark naaru that Roy brought back.

Sargeras had seen naaru before, but this was when he was still on the Pantheon and had yet to fall. The world-soul titans were searching all over the universe for planets with world-souls, and they inevitably met the naaru. Because the power of Holy Light originated from the side of order and was a holy power, the titans maintained a friendly attitude toward the naaru and tried to accept them. However, not only did the naaru have their own beliefs, but they also had their own mission. Therefore, they rejected the invitation of the Pantheon, maintained their mysteriousness and low-keyness, and didn’t have much contact with the titans.

So Sargeras only knew about the naaru, but that was all.

From Roy’s report, Sargeras learned that the eredar had escaped with the naaru’s help. But what he didn’t expect was that after the demons besieged one of them, the naaru would exhaust her Holy Light power and transform into a dark naaru.

This phenomenon of light and darkness existing in the same body at the same time but having independent personalities and souls attracted Sargeras’s interest, so he got Roy to leave this dark naaru behind. He planned to study this being properly.

Clearly, Sargeras saw his shadow in this naaru. Sargeras himself had fallen from order to chaos. Now that he saw another existence similar to him, he couldn’t help but have all kinds of associations. Was this mutual transformation between opposing forces also a kind of universal truth?

Sargeras was a knowledgeable world-soul titan in the first place. Although he had fallen and become a demon, it didn’t mean that the knowledge in his mind had disappeared, so it wasn’t strange for him to become a researcher.

Roy couldn’t wait to throw this dark naaru to Sargeras. In fact, the sigh that emerged in his soul made him realize one thing—Elune was very likely paying attention to these naaru.

Elune was one of the confirmed true gods in this universe. Although no one had seen her true appearance, her miracles had spread throughout many worlds in the entire universe. Strictly speaking, she was an Eternal like the big bosses of the Shadowlands, a child created by the First Ones, and a creation in the same batch as the world-soul titans.

Although they were all Eternals, Elune was even more powerful than the other Eternals because it was said that when she was traveling the universe, her strength had increased tremendously!

No one knew how much this ‘increase’ was. After all, these were only rumors from a long time ago. No one could say for sure if Elune had reached the level of the First Ones. But no matter what, she was still a very special existence.

Roy had only come into contact with Elune indirectly before. During the Battle of Mount Hyjal, he had seen Tyrande under the protection of Elune’s power. Because he was in the Burning Legion, Roy remained vigilant about Elune’s power and didn’t dare to come into contact with her rashly. But what he didn’t expect was that after crossing the time vortex and arriving more than ten thousand years ago, he instead came into contact with Elune. Even though this contact was only receiving a wave of thoughts in his soul and sea of consciousness, the possibility of this wave of thoughts coming from Elune was very high.

The energy level of this universe was really too high, and mysterious mighty figures were faintly hiding behind it. If not for Roy waiting and developing in the shadow of the Burning Legion and Sargeras, who knew what would have happened.

Since Roy was unwilling to provoke Elune now, he naturally couldn’t keep the dark naaru. Although he was very curious about the dark naaru, he could just leave her to Sargeras to study. Anyway, he would know what the results were.

However, although Sargeras had taken over the dark naaru, he couldn’t worry about her for the time being because the most important thing for him now was Argus and the eredar.

After Velen escaped with a small number of his people, the situation on Argus became clear. The remaining eredar followed Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. Once Archimonde and Kil’jaeden made a decision, it meant that the remaining eredar had made a decision. Thus, Sargeras finally stopped hiding and brought all the demons out of the comet to descend on Argus.

Although there was a world-soul in Argus, the Pantheon had not discovered it before, so this planet didn’t have any traces of modification by the titans. Thus, there was naturally no such thing as a planetary shield. There was no hindrance at all for Sargeras to descend with his true body.

This time, Sargeras didn’t play any tricks. He directly appeared on Argus in the demon form of the Dark Titan. Previously, it was inducement, but now it was coercion.

Seeing Sargeras’s colossal body covering the sky and the sun and the immense fel energy spreading wantonly, the eredar finally felt how insignificant they were on this day. So under the lead of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, all the eredar bowed to Sargeras, declared their loyalty to him, and were willing to join the Burning Legion.

Of course, Sargeras didn’t forget his promise. He planned to bestow power to the loyal eredar, so next was the fel energy transformation ritual of the eredar.

Tichondrius, as well as some of the demon lords of the Burning Legion, including the newly-joined Julia and Benia, were all sent out by Sargeras to set up ritual venues all over Argus and be in charge of the transformation ritual for ordinary eredar. As for the transformation ritual of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, Sargeras was personally in charge.

As for Roy… he was the one who watched the entire process…

Sargeras personally engraved an enormous magic formation and inscribed demon characters all over it. After completing the magic formation, he got Archimonde and Kil’jaeden to enter it, and then he injected powerful fel energy into it.

The immense and thick fel energy even emerged in the form of a liquid, dyeing all the patterns and characters of the magic formation with green light, and surged toward Archimonde and Kil’jaeden in the middle.

When the fel energy began to corrode the two of them, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden screamed in pain. They knelt in the formation, trembling all over, but they didn’t dare to use any power to resist this corrosion.

As the power of fel energy penetrated deep into their bones, the bodies of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden underwent tremendous changes. Kil’jaeden’s skin began to turn dark red, and the power of fel energy even broke through his skin and cracked countless lines. This scene of red and green intertwining looked very visually impactful. On the other hand, Archimonde’s skin was turning bluish-gray.

Although they both underwent the corrosion of fel energy, there was a reason for the different colors. Archimonde’s acceptance of fel energy was relatively pure, so after the completion of the ritual, he could use more fel energy power. But Kil’jaeden was different. The power of fel energy was more reflected in his body as the power of flames.

The entire ritual didn’t last long. After the fel energy corrosion was complete, two eredar demon kings were born.

“This… this is…” At this moment, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden had already forgotten the earlier pain. The powerful force flowing in their bodies made them so happy that they were speechless.

Similar to Sargeras, those that accepted the power of fel energy after falling would have a large increase in their overall strength. After becoming eredar demons, Archimonde’s and Kil’jaeden’s strength increased several times, so how could they not be excited?

Roy watched silently from the side and made an estimation in his heart. If Archimonde and Kil’jaeden could only be regarded as equals to top demon lords before, then after completing the ritual, these two were already at the demon king level.

This improvement was a leap in life level. Roy had experienced it before, so he understood Archimonde’s and Kil’jaeden’s feelings very well.

“Okay, henceforth, you are members of the Burning Legion!” Sargeras pointed at Roy and said to the two of them, “This is Osiris, a demon from the Abyss. From now on, the three of you, as commanders of the Legion, will be responsible for formulating and commanding the operations of the Legion. Do you understand?”

“As you wish, Lord Sargeras!” Archimonde and Kil’jaeden knelt on one knee to express their loyalty to Sargeras.

After getting up, Kil’jaeden said to Roy with a smile, “Osiris, this is our first meeting. I hope we can work together in the future…”

Although it was a smile, Kil’jaeden, who had transformed into a demon, looked sinister and fake no matter how Roy looked at it.

Therefore, Roy grinned sinisterly and responded tersely, “Of course…”
