Sargeras was currently drinking. A barrel tens of meters tall and could hold forty to fifty tons was only like a glass of beer in his hand.
After hearing what Roy said, he lowered his head and sneered. “Hmph! Osiris, are you here to mock me?”
“No…” Roy looked up and smiled. “Why are you drinking? Are you in a bad mood?”
Sargeras rarely drank alcohol. Be it when he was a titan before or a demon now, he didn’t drink much. But now, he could down forty to fifty tons of alcohol at once, so it was no wonder that Roy guessed this.
Sargeras didn’t answer Roy’s question and changed the topic. “You disappeared for a long time this time…”
“I can’t help it. There are some things that I can’t control!” Roy spread his hands.
Sargeras didn’t probe further. He put down the gigantic wine barrel and said, “Coincidentally, I have something to ask you!”
Then he stood up from his throne, shrank his body to the same height as Roy, and gestured for Roy to follow him out.
Roy didn’t know what Sargeras wanted to do, so he got Julia and Benia to stay for a while. He followed Sargeras out of the hall and onto the terrace outside.
After arriving outside, Sargeras looked at the bustling demons coming and going on Argus in the distance and the starships of the Burning Legion taking off and flying in the sky. “Osiris, do you see? The Legion is so powerful now. We have swept through the entire universe, and our momentum is unstoppable. Up until now, the flames of the Legion have burned countless planets…”
The tone changed. “But I didn’t expect that the Legion’s footsteps would be blocked on a small planet like Azeroth!”
Roy listened without saying anything.
“But I will not give up!” Sargeras continued. “Aggramar was right back then. The world-soul born from Azeroth is unprecedentedly powerful, but I have confirmed that she is still in deep sleep. If I can conquer this planet, I can artificially intervene in the awakening of Azeroth’s world-soul and make use of her. I believe that as long as I obtain the help of Azeroth’s world-soul, I have a way to defeat the Void Lord!”
“That planet…” Roy finally opened his mouth and deliberated over his words. “How should I put it? I’m afraid it won’t be easy to conquer…”
“Hmph!” Sargeras turned to look at Roy and snorted coldly. “Osiris, I know you’re not optimistic about my plan, and you have your own ideas, but I will prove to you that I’m right!”
Hearing this, Roy was stunned. What does Sargeras mean?
Perhaps because he had drunk a little, Sargeras had the desire to communicate. Seeing the confusion on Roy’s face, he said directly, “Osiris, do you know? There are so many demons in the entire Legion, but you’re the only one I truly regard as a comrade!
“Because you and I entered the Void together, and only you and I witnessed the horror of the Void Lord!” Sargeras looked at the distant sky. “You have fought side by side with me, so I have always thought that you were the only demon in the entire Legion who could truly understand the significance of the Burning Crusade. In this regard, neither Archimonde nor Kil’jaeden can compare to you.”
Roy thought for a moment and asked, “So… is this why you’ve always reserved the position of a commander of the Legion for me?”
Sargeras snorted. “Unfortunately, as time passed, I realized that you’re not optimistic about the Burning Crusade! Although you haven’t said it, I can feel that you think I’ll fail, right?”
Before Roy could answer, Sargeras continued, “Osiris, I know that you have your own opinions or your own plans. You asked me to help you collect a massive number of souls probably to prepare for your plans. So although this matter is very troublesome, I still agreed.”
Roy nodded. He indeed owed this to Sargeras. Although this was an agreement, they didn’t sign any contract. In other words, as long as Sargeras was in a bad mood, he didn’t need to fulfill his promise.
But he still did it.
“Since you have your own ideas, then do them!” Sargeras said to Roy. “But I will prove to you that my Crusade is the true path of salvation!”
Roy looked at Sargeras in surprise. To be honest, he had always known that Sargeras’s faith was very firm. But ever since he accepted fel energy and became a demon, Roy felt that he seemed to be immersed in the temptation of destruction. Unexpectedly, from what Sargeras just said, Roy realized that he had never deviated from his path.
He believed that he was right, so he unswervingly implemented his ideas and continued to execute them! Perhaps in the eyes of others, Sargeras’s paranoia was self-centered, but it had to be said that this was the charm of his personality.
Of course, Roy wouldn’t argue with Sargeras about whose path was right at this time. He could tell that after the failed invasion of Azeroth, Sargeras’s heart was actually wavering slightly. The weak night elves and the equally weak natives of Azeroth were not worth mentioning in front of the Burning Legion, but because of their resistance, the Legion’s plan had failed on the verge of success. How could Sargeras not feel depressed?
And now, he was using this conversation with Roy to reinforce his faith.
After some thought, Roy said, “It’s been about fifteen thousand years since the formation of the Legion, right? Lord Sargeras, do you want to see the results of the Burning Crusade?”
Sargeras was stunned for a moment before realizing what Roy was talking about. He couldn’t help feeling moved and nodded. “Of course!”
After obtaining his agreement, Roy stretched out his right hand and placed it on Sargeras’s shoulder. Auriel slowly spread her wings of despair, and rich Void power appeared to wrap around Roy and Sargeras. The next second, the two of them disappeared.
Yes, Roy ‘sank’ into the Void with Sargeras.
In fact, Sargeras himself could enter the Void, but because he didn’t have Roy’s peculiar Chaos power, he couldn’t move in the Void at all, so he naturally couldn’t explore it. But it was different now with Roy…
After some time, two figures appeared out of thin air on the terrace of Antorus’s Burning Throne.
Roy returned safely with Sargeras. Unlike before he left, Sargeras looked much happier.
With Roy leading him this time, Sargeras had explored the Void and found that it was calmer than ever before. Especially when Roy brought him to the location of the Void Lord from last time, Sargeras had found that the Void Lord was still sleeping, and the Void shell wrapping around him didn’t look much different from last time.
This made Sargeras very happy. He felt that this was proof that the Burning Crusade was effective.
In fact, this was the truth. Because the Burning Legion was constantly destroying planets and worlds, it had also destroyed many planets that had Old Gods parasitizing them. Therefore, the Void had not received much energy infusion during this period of time, so it was relatively calm.
This trip to the Void was a great affirmation of Sargeras’s faith.
However, Roy still frowned slightly after returning. In his guess, there was definitely more than one lord in the Void, but he didn’t know where the other Void Lords were. After all, he couldn’t expose too much power in front of Sargeras, so he couldn’t bring him to explore deeper.
The Void was too big. Roy needed a special transportation method to achieve better exploration. Perhaps he could modify Rafaro again so that he could become a Void starship?
“Okay, Osiris, go!” Sargeras was in high spirits. “Since you’re back, no matter how long you can stay this time, it’s better to show your presence in the Legion! That bastard Kil’jaeden hasn’t mentioned your name for more than ten thousand years. You should understand what he wants to do, right?”
“Of course!” Roy grinned sinisterly. “But I’m not worried at all. I can beat him up at any time!”
“Hahahaha!” Sargeras laughed wildly and returned to the throne hall.
As soon as Roy entered, Julia and Benia came out and asked him with their eyes what had happened.
Roy shook his head without saying anything and flew away with the two of them.
Although Sargeras’s mood had improved, Roy knew that there was no telling when this fellow would become worse again. After all, he was a demon now, and being temperamental was instinctive.
Roy thought that he would be able to enter the time jump soon after the Void trip, but what he didn’t expect was that they would stay on Argus for about three years. It wasn’t until the demon eye on Azeroth observed that Illidan had created the second Well of Eternity on Mount Hyjal and threw the sword embryo that Roy had given him into the well water to sink that the vortex of spacetime flux finally appeared beside the three of them…
“Speaking of which, after I destroyed Nordrassil and drained the water of the Well of Eternity, I actually didn’t take out the sword embryo…” Roy smiled at Julia and Benia while being swept into the spacetime flux. “If not for this time journey, how would I have known that I actually left something in that place that had become a dry well? If I go back again, I wonder what the night elves’ expressions will be?”
Julia and Benia giggled when they heard this. They also found it very interesting.
Before the giggle ended, a light flashed, and the three of them disappeared…
