308. The period of a million years of dormancy has come, welcome the return of the ancient Venerable!(1/2)
The evil of pride's erosion in the soul seems to take a long time, but it actually ends in a very short period of time.
However, while Blake was entangled by the Sha of Pride, the Mantid and the Dark Inquisitor had also successfully begun to unblock the Titan Mystery Lock.
As dark servants serving the ancient sages, the mantid's sonic magic is very magical. Amid the strange resonance of several strange sonic pillars, the huge mythos placed on the ground began to move.
It's like a very high-tech box opening process.
Its shell cracked open, revealing the complex gears and mechanical structures that were constantly rotating inside. The seals were opened layer by layer, and the vibrations in the heart of darkness became more and more obvious.
This last remnant of the ancient god, who was crushed to death by Titan's own hands millions of years ago, seems to feel that the opportunity to see the light of day again is just around the corner, and it feels excited about it.
Also excited are its servants. The eyes of the mantid heroes who were badly repaired by Black are full of anticipation. These big bugs keep making weird insect sounds.
Others will flap their wings in place.
Korvan, the most sincere Prime, has fallen to his knees, reciting the mantid's prayer to the Old Ones, longing for the dark god to return to this era.
It hopes that the Ancient Ones can give the Mantid the power to overthrow this world controlled by false gods and the Sons of Titans in this era of opening of the Mist!
But because of such sincerity, none of the heroes of the Mantis Demon showed the slightest greed for the heart of darkness that was so close at hand.
They know that they are more suitable than any other life to be the carrier of the Heart of Darkness, but they cannot go beyond that step to seize the majesty and power of the gods.
That is the greatest blasphemy against faith.
It's like the shackles holding their civilization have preserved this ancient faith during the countless time that the ancient sages have passed away, but the shackles prevent them from further ascending to the divine power.
This is a very contradictory situation.
However, Ms. Shanesh, the dark judge who was going through a complex psychological struggle at this time, felt happy because of this.
When she noticed that the mantids treated the Heart of Darkness as if it were a sacred object, she felt that her sudden ambition had more hope of being realized.
These foolish and loyal mantids only care about the return of the ancient sages. As for what form and identity the ancient sages will return in,
They don't care.
That means that as long as you can get the Heart of Darkness, you can...
Haha, what a wonderful day.
The smile on the cultist's gloomy face became more and more obvious. She looked expectantly at the Titan Mystery Lock that was gradually being opened in front of her. If it weren't for her identity, she would have been so excited that she would have rubbed her hands together.
She no longer even paid attention to the enlightenment and urging that N'Zoth placed in her mind, and even began to feel that this corruptor was really annoying!
Why didn't I notice that it talked so much before?
But she still had to be careful to hide her thoughts. At least until she obtained the power of the Heart of Darkness, she couldn't be discovered by N'Zoth.
Otherwise, this soul that has been guided into the void will instantly suffer the Corruptor's curse, which will turn her from the inside out into a monster whose brain has been burned by the void.
In fact, under the guidance of the corrupted will, Shanesh was able to maintain his human form and sufficient sanity while walking so deeply in the void, all thanks to the protection of N'Zoth.
She can always fulfill all the "oracles" sent down by the Corruptor and satisfy its desire to see chaos, which makes her the most powerful chosen one under the Corruptor.
But N'Zoth is not always generous to its servants, and it rarely forgives their servants' failures.
Unless they are those that it values very highly, such as Queen Azshara.
From this point of view, perhaps Xanesh should be grateful to Black for blowing up Ny'alotha. The destruction of the holy city of N'Zoth made the Corruptors seem to have a little more humility, making life for them, the servants of darkness, much easier.
But that’s it.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the blessings given to her by N'Zos are not enough to offset what she has sacrificed for N'Zos, her family, her life, and even her identity as a human being.
After getting rid of the fanatical belief that obscured his reason, Shanaishi finally discovered the tricks of N'Zos, a terrible boss.
It's just exploiting them.
Use a little bit of insignificant power and forbidden knowledge to lure them into the bait, and then step into a dead end of no return. The workers of Boralus go to work in the factory and still get paid!
What do these cultists have?
Is there a death surprise that may come at any time and that if you are not careful, you will fall into the forbidden abyss and become the destination of monsters? Well, such a bad life is really nostalgic.
At this moment, Shanaishi's determination and ambition became stronger and stronger.
And all this was seen by the mantid heroes beside her. The heroes exchanged glances with each other, but no one exposed the cruel fact before them.
That is, Shanesh, a miserable mortal, has been captured by the dark majesty of the ancient sage before he saw the Heart of Darkness.
She has lost all respect for her originally weak god and instead seeks to be the vehicle for the resurrection of the ancient lord.
Haha, it's just like the legend.
No soul can remain awake in the face of the Lord of Darkness. It swallows reason, exhales ambition, chews hope, and gives despair.
This pathetic woman...did she really think that her little thoughts could be hidden from these Mantid warriors who were outstanding in all eras?
Everyone is just having fun.
After all, the Lord of Darkness only has one heart left, and if it wants to rule the world again, it really needs a body contaminated with the power of the void.
N'Zoth's Dark Inquisitor Xanesh is very suitable. The Corruptor has trained her very well. She is already a vessel soaked in the corrupted void, and she is also qualified enough to carry the remains of the ancient lord.
And her god N'zoth is not urging her or scolding her. N'zoth really does not want to see his capable subordinates captured by the remaining divinity of Y'shaarj.
It's saving her!
But Shanesh no longer wanted to hear it.
The fire of ambition has been ignited, and nothing can extinguish it easily.
"Click"
In the final crisp sound, the Titan Mystery Lock in the Sealing Hall was completely opened. Amid the flow of rich, liquid-like purple energy, a shriveled heart was exposed to the eyes of the Dark Judge.
It's not majestic at all.
It looks like a monster heart that has been dried by time, and you can even see the blood vessels connected to its body and the purple aura like blood that is constantly surging in it.
The only characteristic is that it is quite big and requires an adult to open its arms to hold it.
But the smoke and dust on it that began to weather and peel off when it came into contact with the air represented that the strongest creature in the history of Azeroth had reached its weakest moment.
It is in urgent need of energy replenishment to return to its former majesty that the world has forgotten.
The moment the Heart of Darkness appeared, all the mantids stood up and chirped as if inspired. The joy was enough to overwhelm all rational emotions.
Their god has finally returned.
When Dark Judge Xia Nesh saw the withered heart of darkness in front of her, strong emotions rolled through her chest and heart, and she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
She almost instinctively stretched out her trembling hand towards the heart in front of her.
N'Zoth's roar exploded in her soul, trying to wake her up from the temptation that led her into chaos and lost herself.
But Xianesh only felt bored by it at this moment.
She closed her mind and took the initiative to cut off her spiritual connection with N'Zoth. This was the first time she had so boldly disobeyed the dark god she believed in.
But she was not afraid, and even felt a little relaxed.
She has never felt so relaxed since she became a cultist. It feels great to have herself back, especially when her ambitions are only one step away from being realized.
The glorious and beautiful future is right in front of you, so real that you can touch it as long as you stretch out your hand.
So she reached out to the heart of darkness calling her.
At this moment, she was extremely convinced that she was the chosen one! Perhaps it was fate that destined her to become the ancient sage who resurrected in this era. Yes, it was her!
It can only be her!
With this thought, under the cold and penetrating gazes of all the mantids, the soulless Shanesh made a hugging gesture, wanting to hold the Heart of Darkness in his arms.
She was about to welcome the greatest moment in her life, and the darkness around her became so beautiful that Shanesh even heard bursts of dark singing in a trance.
Like a fallen hymn.
The good news is that her hearing is very good, and she did hear the BGM of that magical moment.
The bad news is, it wasn't played for her.
"puff"
The cold white sword stabbed out from the back of the heart, and stabbed out from the chest with an unstoppable fatal grace.
In the slight pain of dripping blood along the shining warm sword blade, the upright swordswoman Sharathol warned Xanaish in a serious tone:
"Stay away! Master doesn't like people to be so close to his baby."
"Yes, I don't like it."
Blake's calm voice also sounded behind Xia Naish, causing the dark judge to wake up from his abnormal trance in an instant, and his gloomy eyes tightened instantly.
It was only then that she realized what a stupid thing she had done.
"You just actively refused N'Zoth's rescue, right?"
With a weird laugh, Xal'atath whispered in the ear of the trembling Dark Judge:
"You should know that doing this means that your body and soul are no longer protected by it, and you can be killed. Well, I have seen so many dead people, but none of them have done something like you to make me happy.
