Chapter 577: Tricking?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Scepter of Sargeras was a powerful artifact forged by the cooperation of hundreds of the most outstanding eredar warlocks and the Dark Titans Sargeras himself. It was a miraculous creation created by arcane and fel energies.

And the reason why Sargeras wanted to create this artifact was very simple. It was to allow him to break through Azeroth’s planetary shield so that his true body could descend into the world of Azeroth. This idea was born after the Burning Legion failed to invade Azeroth through the Well of Eternity ten thousand years ago.

Unfortunately, the power of Sargeras and the eredar warlocks was still inferior to that of the titans of the Pantheon. The power of the scepter could indeed tear a hole in the fabric of the material world and create a portal, but this portal still could not completely carry the full power of Sargeras’s true body.

The portal created by the scepter could only allow a portion of Sargeras’s soul to pass through. Therefore, after using the scepter for the first time, Sargeras could only create the corresponding incarnation of the portion of his soul that passed through and then go to Azeroth.

Although it was only a portion of his soul, the power of this incarnation was still very powerful. According to the hierarchy of the Abyss, Sargeras’s main body was at the Deadly Sin level. In other words, the power of his main body was at least 666 times that of a demon king. The incarnation created by this portion of his soul had strength comparable to that of Roy, Archimonde, and Kil’jaeden.

Unexpectedly, after entering Azeroth, this powerful demon king-level incarnation immediately bumped into the Guardian of Tirisfal, Aegwynn. With the help of the blue dragonflight, she ‘defeated’ this incarnation of Sargeras.

But Aegwynn didn’t know that this was only a feigned defeat by Sargeras. Taking advantage of this opportunity, this portion of his soul hid in Aegwynn’s body. Thus, after her son, Medivh, was born, Sargeras affected and controlled him, thereby opening the Dark Portal…

Kil’jaeden had briefly told Roy about these past events when he took out the Scepter of Sargeras and handed it to him. It just so happened that Roy had some general memories about them, so he basically figured it out after connecting them.

The reason why Kil’jaeden told Roy the origin of the Scepter of Sargeras was that this artifact had been forged after the War of the Ancients. In Kil’jaeden’s words, Roy had just ‘disappeared’ during this time…

In fact, Kil’jaeden had vaguely guessed that Roy’s sudden disappearance for thousands of years and sudden reappearance might be because Roy suffered some kind of time curse and jumped into the River of Time… After all,

Kil’jaeden was the commander of the Burning Legion known for his intellect. With his intelligence, it was impossible for him not to think of this situation. But since Roy didn’t say it explicitly, he didn’t bother to make it clear.

But the situation Kil’jaeden guessed was still different from Roy’s actual situation. He would never have thought that Roy was the real Roy at this time, the true starting point, and the Roy that Kil’jaeden knew in ancient times was actually the future Roy…

The Scepter of Sargeras was different from what Roy had imagined. It was an enormous scepter that even exceeded his current height. Just standing there, this scepter was about ten meters tall. Moreover, according to Kil’jaeden, this scepter was currently in a compressed state, a shrunken version.

Actually, it made sense. This artifact was for Sargeras to use from the very beginning. With the colossal size of titans, the size of the scepter naturally had to match.

Fortunately, the size of this scepter could be changed freely. Otherwise, Ner’zhul wouldn’t have been able to hold it at all…

At the top of the scepter was a huge gem that looked like an eyeball. The dark

purple vertical pupil emitted a strange light, and the eyeball had a pair of demon wings. When Roy held the scepter, he immediately felt an immense suction coming from it!

This suction was extracting the magic power in his body, causing it to surge out like a flood. The speed was so fast that Roy felt he couldn’t take it.

In addition to this extraction that seemed to want to squeeze out all of his magic power, countless inexplicable illusions appeared in his mind—an endless and crazily churning corrupted land, fierce battles full of blood, and even Sargeras’s majestic and terrifying roars of anger. These illusions intertwined, but Roy couldn’t see the specific scenes clearly. But there was no doubt that this meant that the scepter was corroding his soul.

The power of the Scepter of Sargeras exceeded Roy’s imagination. As a last resort, he had no choice but to use the system to set up a special barrier on his soul to completely isolate the scepter’s soul corrosion.

In fact, apart from Sargeras, the master, few people could truly control and use this artifact, not even Kil’jaeden. In order to use this scepter to escape from Draenor, Ner’zhul had had to wait until the stars reached specific locations before using it. But in the end, he still lost control and completely blew up his homeland.

However, Roy didn’t intend to use this scepter for anything. He was only thinking of ways to find the power and will that Sargeras had left in it as a bridge to see if he could contact him.

Although most of his magic power had gushed out like a flood and disappeared into the scepter, he still had enough. Under his careful search, he finally found a trace of the will that Sargeras had left in the scepter.

As an artifact, it was inevitable for it to recognize its master. But to put it bluntly, the principle was a wisp of soul consciousness left in the artifact by the original owner. This wisp of soul consciousness would gradually transform over time and become the consciousness of the artifact itself, which was often called the artifact spirit.

After finding this wisp of consciousness, Roy immediately began to communicate and call out.

“Sargeras… Sargeras…”

Because it was a call in the soul consciousness, Roy didn’t call Sargeras ‘lord’ here. After all, he subconsciously didn’t regard Sargeras as someone he had submitted to.

The only one who could make him willingly address deferentially was Lilith…

Roy didn’t receive any response during the continuous calls. As time passed, he began to wonder if he could really contact Sargeras.

The consumption of magic power was too fast, so Roy didn’t intend to continue. But just as he was about to stop, he suddenly thought of something and said, “Sargeras, a Void Lord asked me to tell you something…’

When the information contained in this soul consciousness interacted with the wisp of Sargeras’s consciousness in the scepter, Roy’s entire sea of consciousness immediately trembled violently, and then an angry roar that resounded throughout the entire space of his sea of consciousness appeared.

Accompanied by this angry roar were countless flames suddenly appearing in Roy’s sea of consciousness. These flames burned and twisted violently, and then an incomparably tall fire giant appeared.

With huge curved demon horns and a face like a nightmare, Sargeras appeared in front of Roy with flames burning all over his body. Even though he was in the space of his sea of consciousness and Sargeras was just an illusion, Roy still gasped when he saw Sargeras’s appearance.

The phantom of Sargeras that appeared in front of Roy gave him a strong sense of oppression. He even felt that it was more shocking than the colossal body surrounding the moon when he saw Lilith return to the Deadly Sin level. After all, Sargeras was once the strongest titan warrior, and his majesty and domineeringness were much stronger than Lilith’s.

“Who is it?!” Sargeras roared angrily, spitting out flames. “Who is disturbing my sleep?!”

The term Void Lord that Roy mentioned was probably Sargeras’s lifelong nightmare and obsession. It was no wonder Sargeras, who was unwilling to respond to information from the outside world, appeared when Roy mentioned it.

After roaring to vent his anger, Sargeras’s phantom lowered his head and saw Roy looking up at him. His face covered in flames immediately paused for a moment before saying in puzzlement, “You are… Osiris?!”

“It’s me, Lord Sargeras!” Roy pretended to be respectful when replying. “Lord Sargeras, I’m back.”

“Osiris, where have you been all these years?!” Sargeras said angrily. “Why did you disappear when the Legion needed your strength?!”

“It’s a long story…” Roy deliberated over his words. “But didn’t I come back? And as soon as I came back, I contacted the Legion. I’m now on Argus.”

“Very good!” Sargeras nodded. “Since you’re back, you, Kil’jaeden, and Archimonde will lead the Legion and continue to invade Azeroth according to the original plan! I have other matters to attend to now, so don’t disturb me again!”

“Understood!” Roy agreed.

In fact, the moment Roy contacted Sargeras, he suddenly understood that

Sargeras was probably not hiding in a corner of the universe to avoid the Pantheon’s pursuit. On the contrary, he was probably on Azeroth now and was already beginning to corrode Azeroth’s world-soul…

Sargeras was planning to completely transform Azeroth’s world-soul into his appearance… As such, the following actions of the Burning Legion basically had little to do with Sargeras.

After saying this, Sargeras lowered his head and said to Roy with an annoyed expression, “Now, tell me why you said that damn name just now! Osiris, on account of us being like-minded, I can tolerate your actions, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t anger me!” 𝒻𝓇ℯ𝘦𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝓿𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓶

Like-minded? Roy caught this keyword, but his face didn’t change at all. “Lord Sargeras, in fact, I just returned from the Void, and the corrosion and expansion of the Void has accelerated again…”

These words were naturally nonsense, but there was nothing wrong with them. Roy had indeed entered the Void. As for the corrosion and expansion of the Void, when had it not accelerated? This was simply flawless nonsense.

But what Sargeras feared the most was the Void. Over the years, under his leadership, the Burning Legion had destroyed countless planets. Wasn’t it to stop the Void from devouring the material world?

Moreover, most importantly, because of the original agreement, he misunderstood Roy’s words as a disguised urging, so he became even more annoyed. “Damn it, stop rushing me! How can it be so easy to gather a hundred trillion standard souls?!”

When Roy heard this, his demon heart almost jumped out of his chest!

W-what do you mean?! A hundred trillion standard souls?! You’re giving them to me?! Is this the agreement the future me made with Sargeras?! The question is, what agreement did I reach with him? What am I going to do with so many souls?!

While Roy’s mind was buzzing, Sargeras continued in annoyance, “… Even though the Legion has destroyed many planets, you know how greedy demons are for souls. In order to appease them, I’ve rewarded them with almost half of the souls I’ve obtained over the years, so it will take some time to gather the number you need. You have to be patient! ”

“… Yes!” Roy’s mind raced, and he didn’t say anything else.

“Tell Kil’jaeden and Archimonde that a portion of the Legion will be under your command!” Sargeras said. “Since you’ve returned, then carry out your duty as a commander. The world of Azeroth must be destroyed under the raging flames of the Legion…”

While speaking, Sargeras’s phantom dimmed and finally disappeared, and Roy’s soul consciousness was ejected out of the scepter.

Roy opened his eyes. While letting go of the scepter, he took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions.. A hundred trillion standard souls! What the f*ck? What did I say and do to trick Sargeras so fiercely?!
