Chapter 602: The Dragonqueen

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Nexus, an underground fortress, was full of magic power energy everywhere. After stepping in, Julia and Benia found that their magic power circuits were operating much faster.

After Roy brought them through a mirror-like spatial gate, the three of them appeared in a strange space.

There were no buildings, no walls, and no dragon-style decorations. This space was empty, and there was only a huge platform floating alone in this space.

But in this empty space, they could feel the traces of immense flows of magic power all around. Clearly, this was a mirror space in a magic power node. This magic power node might not be as powerful as the Sunwell or the Well of Eternity, but it seemed to be a very important node, and there were countless magic power torrents shuttling back and forth.

The only foothold in this space was the floating platform. On the platform, they could see a huge magic formation on the ground, and the magic formation was still emitting a faint light. Some giant stone pillars inlaid with magic power crystals were symmetrically placed around the platform. At the edge of the platform was a large crystal orb with a stone base supporting it, and the center of the crystal orb was so transparent that it was basically see-through. On the periphery was a circle of blue light surrounding it, and at first glance, it looked like an eye.

Roy recognized it immediately. This crystal orb was what he was looking for, the Focusing Iris!

In his impression, this Focusing Iris was an artifact bestowed by the titans to Malygos to manage the magic network of Azeroth. Through this artifact, Malygos could easily adjust the operation of all the nodes in the magic network. In addition, this thing was a magic power amplifier that could extract the magic power energy in the magic network nodes, amplify it, and then release it.

Just listening to these functions, the Focusing Iris might not seem like much. But the true power of this artifact was that it could even directly drain all the magic power energy of the magic network of all of Azeroth!

If this was really done, the energy released through the amplification effect of the Focusing Iris would likely cause more damage than the explosion of the Well of Eternity! This was a terrifying artifact that could tear Azeroth into pieces with a single blow!

Roy had played with many nukes in other worlds, but he had never played with such a large tonnage. Even though the Focusing Iris could only achieve such power at the limit of its ideal state, it was enough to pique his interest.

As long as he could obtain this artifact, it was tantamount to having a powerful card in Azeroth. As long as he wanted to, he could use the Focusing Iris to drain the energy of the magic network at any time and turn the casters of Azeroth into trash.

Wasn’t this much more threatening than that idiot Archimonde climbing a tree?

When Roy and the others saw the Focusing Iris, they also saw a figure walking back and forth on the platform as though he was crazy. This figure was not tall and had the appearance of a high elf. He had long ears and eyebrows, but all his hair was dark blue, and so was the robe he was wearing.

Julia and Benia looked at Roy. He nodded at them, indicating that this was the Blue Aspect, Malygos, but this was his human form.

Roy and the other two were opposite each other, and they didn’t alarm Malygos for the time being. They observed his movements and saw him walking around on the platform from time to time. Sometimes, he suddenly sat on the floor with his head lowered and kept hitting the floor with his fists. His lips were moving, as though he was muttering something to himself. But what he was speaking was a cacophony of the elven language, the dragon language, and even the troll language and the common language, so no one could understand what he was saying.

Even his expression was the same. Sometimes it was blank, sometimes it was angry, and sometimes it suddenly became depressed. Every time this emotion appeared, Malygos would hug his head and squat on the floor to cry silently.

“This guy… It looks like he’s really crazy!” Benia said after observing for a while. “What should we do? Should we kill him?”

“Don’t worry. The two of you go get that crystal ball. After you get it, immediately leave this space!” Roy slowly walked forward. “I’ll meet with Malygos.”

Julia and Benia received the orders and headed toward the Focusing Iris. Roy slowly walked in front of Malygos, leaving a trail of ink-like footprints behind him that lingered on the platform for a long time.

His approach finally attracted Malygos’s attention, but he only looked up at Roy with a blank expression and asked in the elven language, “Who are you?”

Roy didn’t understand this elven language, but he could roughly guess the meaning from his expression. He looked down at Malygos and said in the common language with a smile, “Obviously, I am a demon, a demon… of the Burning Legion!”

“Oh…” Malygos replied blankly, seemingly not remembering what the Burning Legion was. He turned his head and said, “No matter who you are, don’t disturb my train of thought. Leave this place. The portal is over there…”

“Your train of thought?” Roy sat on the floor with interest. This way, he could look at Malygos at the same level. “What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to deal with those mortal mages?”

Roy knew very well that despite Malygos’s current muddle-headed appearance, it wouldn’t be long before he became lucid. After he became clear-headed, Roy didn’t know what he was thinking. But he stubbornly believed that the state of Azeroth’s magic power was out of control, and the root cause of the magic power being out of control was the recklessness of the mortal races and their constant pursuit of magic power, which made the world even more dangerous.

Based on this cognition, Malygos planned to use the power of the Focusing Iris to deal with the mortal races in advance… Yes, his plan coincided with Roy’s, and he planned to use the Focusing Iris to drain the magic power energy in the magic network.

But this decision angered the mortal spellcasters, especially the mages of the Kirin Tor. They joined forces and swore to fight Malygos to the end.

Interestingly, even the Aspects felt that Malygos’s idea was too dangerous, especially the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. In the name of the red dragonflight, she declared Malygos guilty, attacked the Nexus, and finally killed him personally.

Although it was difficult to say if Malygos was really clear-headed when he came to this stubborn cognition, since he himself thought that he was lucid, then Alexstrasza didn’t feel much guilt killing him…

Everything was for justice. Everything was for Azeroth…

Sure enough, under Roy’s deliberate guidance, Malygos immediately turned around and said excitedly, “That’s right. Whether it’s the human mages or the magic-addicted high elves, they have been abusing the power of the magic network without restraint. Do you know how much time I spend every day sorting out the chaotic magic power torrents in the nodes? Damn it! They all deserve to die!”

While uttering these words as though he was venting, there was only anger in his expression. At this moment, he didn’t look muddle-headed at all. But before Roy could answer, Malygos suddenly lay on the floor and cried bitterly. “Sindragosa, my dear consort… I lost you, and I can’t even bury you…”

Roy looked at Malygos with a headache. It was really difficult to communicate with this lunatic because you didn’t know where his thoughts would suddenly run to.

But through what he said just now, Roy realized that the reason why Malygos had come to this cognition was probably because of this. The series of thoughts he formed in his madness and confusion directly affected his cognition.

Roy originally wanted to use words to induce him to deepen his hatred, but it seemed unnecessary now. He stood up, stretched out his claws, grabbed Malygos’s head, and lifted him up.

Malygos subconsciously struggled and resisted, but he didn’t use any strength. He didn’t even shout at Roy to let go of him. It looked as though he was reacting instinctively.

When Roy held him in his hand, he sensed the state in Malygos’s body. He found a strange energy operating in his body. It seemed to be left in his body when Neltharion attacked him with the Dragon Soul.

Although Malygos’s body had recovered after recuperation, this remaining power had been interfering with his mind for many years, preventing him from thinking normally. In addition, with the tremendous blow of losing his consort and children, Malygos was unwilling to face reality, so he lived his days in a muddle-headed state.

It’s a little troublesome. The power of the Dragon Soul seems to be specifically targeted at dragons. Not only does it interfere with the body, but it also interferes with the soul… Roy pondered. If I feed his soul to Rafaro like this, won’t he become stupid after eating something bad?

Should I clean him first? Roy thought as he condensed Chaos power in his hand and injected it into Malygos’s body.

However, something happened that made Roy’s jaw drop. The Chaos power that could neutralize all the elemental powers didn’t work.

To be precise, the residual power of the Dragon Soul in Malygos’s body didn’t come into contact with Roy’s Chaos power at all. It was avoiding the Chaos power and moving around Malygos’s body, sliding around like a loach.

Realizing that this wouldn’t work, Roy stopped for the time being and studied this strange power again.

Then he finally realized what the problem was. Neltharion had suggested forging the Dragon Soul, but at the time, he had already fallen and become corrupted under the constant whispers of the Old Gods.

This corruption was just an adjective. In fact, even the other Aspects didn’t know the reason. But only Roy, who had come into contact with Void power, knew that Void power had infected Neltharion!

The Old Gods originated from the Void Lords, and there was no doubt that there was Void energy in their powers. Neltharion was infected by this Void energy, so the Dragon Soul he forged might carry traces of Void energy.

Most creatures infected by Void energy had a common characteristic—losing their sanity, so they often behaved crazy. Malygos’s infection was indirect and secondary, so his condition was slightly better. But even so, he still became so muddle-headed and insane.

After Roy understood the root cause, it was much easier. Since the remaining power of the Dragon Soul avoided the Chaos power, it meant that Chaos power was its natural enemy, but Void power of the same origin would become its bait.

Auriel, on Roy’s shoulder, slowly spread her wings, and the strange eyes on these wings gradually opened. Void power came from her and poured into Malygos’s body through Roy’s arm. When this weak Void power appeared, the strange and slippery power in Malygos’s body immediately pounced on it without hesitation, like a shark smelling blood.

With this bait, Roy was about to seize the remaining power of the Dragon Soul and bring it out when a portal suddenly opened in the middle of the platform.

“Stop! Release him!”

A figure rushed out of the space. Before Roy could see who it was clearly, the voice arrived.

As soon as Roy turned his head, he found that the figure was rapidly becoming larger as it rushed over. Finally, it turned into an enormous red dragon in front of him. This red dragon didn’t give him any time to explain before a slap came at him.

Unfortunately, the red dragon’s attack didn’t work. Roy’s body turned into a cloud of mist, preventing the red dragon’s huge claws from hitting any physical body, making them strike nothing.

But the red dragon didn’t seem to have thought that it would be so easy to succeed. While Roy’s body was not in its physical state, she opened her giant dragon mouth and accurately grabbed half of Malygos’s body in the air. Then she pulled with all her might and drew him away from Roy’s hand.

With Malygos in her mouth, the red dragon’s enormous body took a step back. After retreating tens of meters, she placed Malygos on the floor and stared intently at Roy with her pair of dragon eyes.

Roy smiled, and his body reappeared. “So it’s you, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza! Why are you here alone?”

“King of Despair Osiris…” Alexstrasza stared at Roy vigilantly and said hatefully, “Damn it. Hasn’t Nozdormu repaired the timeline concerning you yet?!”
