According to information from Ghuun, Dark Arbiter does not have a fixed appearance. It will automatically change into whatever form its owner feels is more suitable.
It would be asking Andreas, a spellcaster, to use a two-handed sword. Now, the form that Ghuun has chosen can maximize the amplification of his Chaos Power, and even Sargeras dares not take Andreas' attacks head-on anymore.
Chaos Power already possesses unparalleled destructive power; what Andreas lacks is simply an output medium that can qualitatively change the nature of the attack.
Staff of Ganir is merely a supplementary weapon for casting spells; Tear of Elune can enhance the output of Chaos Power, but it cannot bring about a qualitative change.
Azshara overexerted himself to buy time for Andreas and is unable to fight again for a while.
Andreas fought bravely on her own, flapping her six wings. She changed her previous defensive stance, and her sword energy, which swept in all directions, forced the unarmed Sargeras into a sorry state.
Sargeras couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had taken a defensive stance in battle. Circumstances were beyond his control, and even though he felt frustrated, Sargeras forced himself to suppress his displeasure and temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge.
"etc!"
Sargeras, having shaken off his arrogance, suddenly realized, "These two guys came through the hyperspace teleportation device I left in the Hall of World Souls, which means..."
Demon King's expression suddenly changed. In shock, he subconsciously turned his head to look into the endless depths of the starry sky.
" Pantheon?! Oh no!"
Just as Sargeras was about to turn and leave, Andreas' chaotic sword energy, which blocked his escape route, approached again, forcing Sargeras to stop his escape attempt.
"Where do you want to go? Isn't Azeroth your goal? Then go ahead and carry on with your delusions to the very end!"
Seeing that Sargeras had finally realized the root of the crisis, Andreas held nothing back and unleashed Chaos Power at full force, expanding the size of the three pairs of wings once again and further enhancing their mobility.
"Get out! Get out!"
Anxious and eager to escape the starry sky and reach Pantheon, Sargeras disregarded his own injuries and began to fight Andreas head-on.
In terms of pure strength, there is still a significant gap between Andreas and Sargeras. In close combat, the Fel Energy flames emanating from Sargeras alone can put him under considerable pressure.
But his goal was not to defeat Sargeras, but to delay him as much as possible.
Using wings infused with massive amounts of Chaos Power, and employing highly mobile guerrilla-style combat, Andreas inflicted numerous wounds, large and small, on Sargeras with his ranged sword energy.
Although Sargeras consciously avoided attacks that posed a significant threat to him, as time went on, the Demon King, in his anxiety, finally abandoned all defenses and, with bloodshot eyes, stubbornly endured the attacks in an attempt to escape.
The Titans of Pantheon recovered during the time Andreas bought, and their respective divine thrones effectively helped the Titans rebuild their bodies and heal their injuries.
Under Eonar's special care, Aggramar, who was the most seriously injured, has also basically regained his mobility.
Amanthul solemnly commanded his comrades, "It is time. Sargeras has sensed our threat. Begin."
Power surged from the thrones beneath the six Titans simultaneously, enveloping them in blue and white flames. Under the control of the six Titans, these flames formed energy beams that converged in the air before finally sinking into the ground of the Pantheon Hall.
"Click!"
The sound of machinery whirring filled the air, and the smooth ground parted with a rumble, revealing the intricate Titans runes etched into the ground before the six people's eyes.
With the combined power of the six Titans ' thrones, the seal specifically targeting Sargeras began operating at full speed.
Through the water mirror, one could clearly see the panic and resentment on Sargeras' face. Despite his already injured right hand being severed at the elbow by Andreas, the Demon King finally escaped the enemy's pursuit.
"Phew~"
Andreas, equally exhausted, lay helplessly in the weightless universe, watching Sargeras struggle desperately towards the distant stars, a relieved smile on his face.
"Finally... it's almost over."
"Whoosh!"
A thick beam of light, seemingly irresistible, shot down from the depths of space. Sargeras didn't even have time to react before being struck directly by this beam specifically designed to hit him.
Amanthul clenched his fists on the armrests of the throne, took a deep breath, and controlled the retraction of the sealing light. "Brother, your expedition ends here!"
"No!!"
Sargeras screamed as he was about to be sucked away by the beam of light. Illidan, who was hiding behind the rubble, seized the opportunity and flapped his wings to rush out. Warglaives of azzinoth plunged deep into Sargeras' severed arm wound.
"Ahhh!"
Under normal circumstances, Illidan's attacks would not be able to cause any damage to Sargeras at all.
However, Sargeras was suppressed by the sealing light at this moment, and the wounds that Andreas had slashed opened up an attack channel for Demon Hunter. Illidan's long-awaited attack caused Sargeras to scream in agony.
Enduring the intensely corrosive Fel Energy flames emanating from Sargeras, Demon Hunter grinned maliciously. "I've waited ten thousand years for this moment. All the sacrifices have finally paid off."
" Sargeras, let me witness your final fate!"
Under the watchful eyes of Azshara and Andreas, Illidan, clinging to Sargeras, was pulled toward Pantheon and vanished from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Unable to retrieve the sargerite keystone left behind by Illidan, Andreas tossed it to Azshara, who had recovered somewhat.
"I'll leave the finishing touches to you. I need to get some rest."
With Azeroth's biggest crisis resolved, Azshara's tension also dissipated, and she rolled her eyes coquettishly.
"You're the only one in this world who dares to give me orders without being punished. Enjoy the Queen's favor."
"Yes, yes~ We can talk about it when we get back, I'm really tired..."
Seeing Andreas fall asleep before he could even speak, Azshara, usually so proud, revealed a rare gentle smile.
Azshara leaned down and kissed Andreas on the lips, then silently floated beside him, guarding him.
The heavily damaged Expeditionary Force fleet began its triumphant return from Argus minutes later, traversing the portal linking the two star systems.
Even without personally experiencing it aboard the Enterprise, Azshara could guess that the Expeditionary Force's flagship must already be filled with singing and dancing.
Watching the last starship return to Azeroth side of the universe, Azshara activated the Sargerite keystone to close the portal connecting the two worlds.
Before the gate closed, everyone could see the planet Argus rapidly expanding on the other side. In the instant before the passage closed, Argus flashed with a blinding light, a scene that became the last memory of Argus for the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force.
"Ha~"
Returning to Azeroth's Zeals Ark with Azeroth Allied Forces, Turalyon gazed at the now-calm starry sky and let out a long sigh.
"Finally, it's over."
At the same time, Tyrande excitedly announced the victory to Azeroth Allied Forces via fleet broadcast.
"Rejoice! All my brothers and sisters who fought alongside me, we have won! Glory belongs to Azeroth!"
"oh!!"
Pantheon, with the aid of the Divine Throne and relying on Andreas' positioning and extreme delaying tactics, the six Titans, in their weakened state, worked together to pull Sargeras back from the distant stars and seal him away.
Along with the sealed light, the Demon Hunter, who was attached to Sargeras, also returned.
When the Demon King let out his final, unwilling roar and was sealed underground in Pantheon, Illidan, having just experienced another long interstellar journey, was already weak in the knees.
"Ha~"
Having witnessed Sargeras disappear into the seal, Illidan collapsed, exhausted, onto the ornate floor of Pantheon made of an unknown material, a relieved smile on his face.
Amanthul breathed a sigh of relief and watched with interest as the half-demon returned with Sargeras.
" Demon Hunter, don't you plan to return to your home planet?"
Illidan struggled to sit up, his ever-present warglaives of azzinoth placed at his sides.
"No need. My long-cherished wish and my life goal is to witness the end of Sargeras. Since he was only sealed away and not dead, I have an obligation to continue to serve as his jailer."
Amanthul and the other Titans exchanged glances and reached a basic agreement after a moment.
The Father of the Gods, acting as his representative, promised Illidan, "Yes, you will be the first Mortal qualified to remain in Pantheon. I, Amanthul, in the name of Pantheon, grant you the authority to guard Sargeras."
...
Illidan's departure was something Andreas had anticipated.
This Demon Hunter is too stubborn. His philosophy of life is like his unwavering feelings. Once he sets his mind on a goal, he will never give up.
Malfurion, who remained in Azeroth, remained silent for a while after hearing the news from Azshara.
"Sigh~"
Archdruid sighed with a very complicated expression.
No matter how different their ideologies are, they are ultimately brothers born of the same mother.
Illidan volunteered to go to Pantheon to guard Sargeras, and who knows when they will meet again.
Tyrande held Malfurion's hand and comforted him, " The Night Elves have long enough lifespans that I believe will one day be reunited with Illidan."
Malfurion took a deep breath, calming the complex emotions churning within him. "I know, but let's not talk about that now. How is Andreas?"
Azshara shrugged elegantly. "The situation is good, but it is still in hibernation, completing the final synchronization with Ghuun. This Sword of Order doesn't seem to be so easy to control."
According to Pantheon According to the intelligence provided by the Titans, within the known material universe, no weapon surpasses the Dark Arbiter. Ghuun.
Sargeras once used this sword to destroy a planet deeply parasitized by the Old Gods, so the power of the Dark Arbiter is unimaginable.
However, the dark emotions that arose in Sargeras' heart when he drew his sword sowed the seeds for the potential for Ghuun to split on its own.
After wandering through the universe for countless years, Ghuun has finally found a new master, which is exciting news for the entire cosmic order.
" Pantheon is temporarily closed, and the severely damaged Titans need time to recover."
" Argus was completely destroyed under Kiljaeden's active catalysis. The Burning Legion was severely damaged in this expedition and began to disintegrate, with the demon legions scattered across various star systems successively establishing their own independent factions."
Malfurion leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh. "The entire material universe should be in a period of peace from now on. We owe our current achievements to the hard work of the Expeditionary Force soldiers."
"Of course, the most important credit should go to Andreas for planning all of this."
Maiev smiled, a rare occurrence, and turned to look in the direction of Moonshadow Manor. "I just wonder how long it will take for our great hero to wake up from his slumber."
...
Andreas had no idea where his consciousness had sunk to.
Indeed, as Azshara said, he completed all the synchronization steps with Ghuun while in hibernation.
Having fully mastered the power of the Ghuun, Andreas officially became the new master of the dark arbiter.
But this process didn't actually take long. For a long time afterward, Andreas drifted unconsciously in a foggy, unknown space, and for some reason, he was unable to wake up from his hibernation.
When he finally saw a glimmer of light breaking through the endless fog, Andreas, who had been in a daze, immediately focused his mind and extended his divine sense into the distance.
But at that moment, a sharp, piercing sense of threat jolted Andreas' soul, as if some extremely dangerous entity lurked behind the blurry light.
At the critical moment, a soft, moon-white light enveloped Andreas, and he felt his soul rapidly moving away from the unknown space that was constantly emanating a sense of danger.
In the dim light, Andreas heard a resentful roar coming from behind the fog.
"Whoosh!"
The scenery before my eyes changed dramatically in the next second. The gray fog completely dissipated, and in its place was a magnificent palace complex in the style of the Temple of Olympus.
"here it is..."
Andreas looked up in surprise and looked around.
The gray mist we had seen before all surrounded the outer side of the temple complex. The buildings built into the mountain peak seemed to have been forcibly stretched open by some unknown force, and the surrounding mist could not penetrate it at all.
After completing its synchronization, Ghuun's weapon spirit stayed by Andreas' side. At this moment, it warily warned, "Master, please be careful. If I'm not mistaken, this place should be located outside the material universe, in an unknown world that has not yet been explored."
Hehe~
A familiar laugh echoed from the desolate depths of the palace. "I never imagined you would unknowingly wander into the Chaos Space. If I hadn't discovered you in time and pulled you back, you would have been torn to shreds by those thirsty void lords."
Andreas' expression shifted. " Elune?"
" Elune?"
The same question came from different beings. Ghuun had already guessed who this being was, but its tone sounded somewhat strange.
"You call her Elune? Is that the new alias that Lord used on some material planet?"
Andreas looked at the Dark Arbiter in his hand with surprise. "You know her true identity?"
"Of course I know, but..."
Ghuun's sword automatically pointed forward. "I won't overstep my bounds. Let her explain it to you herself."
The entire magnificent palace complex was devoid of any sign of life. Although the surrounding temples were beautifully constructed, it was clear that no one lived there.
In front of the largest temple at the top of the palace complex, Andreas could clearly see a woman dressed in a simple, moon-white dress sitting on her throne, looking at him with a smiling gaze.
Andreas was not unfamiliar with that stunningly beautiful and elegant face, which was no less than Azshara's. He had seen it countless times in his mind since the statue in Moonshadow's Rest was built.
Before Andreas could even process what was happening, he was forcibly teleported to the temple's master's presence.
"I never expected that you could break through the limitations of the material universe and enter this chaotic space with Ghuun's help."
Elune smiled and crossed her legs, looking at Andreas. "Let me warn you first, there's nothing here except me and the entire palace. It's very... boring. Do you need me to take you back?"
Andreas smiled and nodded. "Of course, my family is still waiting for me, but before that, could you tell me your real name?"
Elune tilted her head, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Now is not the time for you to come to the Chaos Space to create a new world, but with the Chaos Power and Ghuun under your control, that day will come sooner or later."
"Go back to your family, and remember to spend more time chatting with me and Azeroth."
Andreas' soul clearly felt the sensation of falling from his feet. Before his consciousness returned to his body, Elune's leisurely voice came from afar.
"All conscious souls in the universe are under my jurisdiction, and the extraterrestrial gods, including the void lords, call me... the Supreme Being of All Spirits."
"However, this title doesn't sound good, and I personally don't like it."
Elune said meaningfully, "Considering all the stories you've told me over the years, I've come up with a good name for you. How about... you call me Alaya?"
...
"He's awake! He's finally awake!"
Once his consciousness returned to his body, Andreas immediately heard the noise around him.
Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw were three beautiful faces, each with its own unique features. Time had not left any marks on their faces; the three of them still maintained their youthful appearance.
" Shandris, Celeste and Azshara."
Andreas rubbed his temples and sat up in bed, and the considerate Celeste quickly helped him raise the cushion behind his back.
How long did I sleep?
Compared to Shandris, who was relieved, Azshara was much more nonchalant; she never believed that Andreas would simply fall asleep and never wake up again.
Shandris held her husband's hand and smiled as she replied, "One year and 213 days, you missed the grand ceremony celebrating the victory at the Battle of Argus."
Andreas shook his head and smiled dismissively. "It doesn't matter, as long as everything goes smoothly. I'm not interested in these formalities anyway."
With Andreas' awakening, chaos erupted in Moonshadow Manor.
Aurora hurried over, leading the now slightly older Sirius. The little guy saw his father finally awaken from his deep sleep and immediately smiled happily, opening his arms to rush towards Andreas, who was still in bed.
"dad!"
"Oh, my good son!"
Leticia, along with Onyxia and Lunara who happened to be visiting, also entered one after another. Following behind them was a rather strange maid duo, Vashj and Sarthaion.
With a smile, he picked up Sirius and lifted him high in the air. It is said that Fandral, Malfurion, and others were preparing to drop everything and rush over. Andreas looked at the room full of relatives and friends and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
'Is it Alaya, the spirit of all things?'
Putting Elune's words aside for the time being, just as Elune said, there was still a long way to go before he could go to the Chaos Space to create a new world.
Holding Sirius, Andreas leaped out of bed and twisted his long-dormant body, the bones cracking as they moved.
" With the Burning Legion falling apart, the greatest threat to the material universe has become history."
"A grand interstellar age of exploration is about to begin, and the glory of the Order World will spread throughout the entire material universe. Everyone, let's welcome the arrival of this new era together!"
