Chapter 662: Forced to Fight

This was really… hair-raising.

In fact, Roy had guessed early on that there might be more than one Void Lord. After all, the Void was so vast, so how could there only be one Void Lord in the endless Void World? But his guess had no evidence, so he couldn’t verify it.

At least until he spied on Y’Shaarj’s fragmented memories…

Among Y’Shaarj’s memory fragments, one of them was still very clear.

It was a scene of countless infant Old Gods identical to Y’Shaarj entering the material world from the Void World. Y’Shaarj was naturally among them, and this memory fragment was full of Y’Shaarj’s joy and fanaticism. It was happy for its birth and fanatical about its mission.

Perhaps it was because of the deep impression that this memory fragment remained very clear after Y’Shaarj’s death, and it was Roy seeing this memory fragment that he confirmed his guess.

The purpose of the Void Lords throwing pioneers and pathfinders into the material world was to find planets with world-souls. But because the Void Lords didn’t know which planets had world-souls, they threw Old Gods randomly. The entire material universe was so vast, and planets existed in units of trillions, so it was destined that Old Gods had to be released in batches.

In other words, these so-called pioneers and pathfinders were actually cheap products mass-produced by industrialization! The Void Lords needed to consume energy to create Old Gods. In order to minimize the consumption and mass-produce Old Gods, it was inevitable to use the same template for Old Gods!

This was why Y’Shaarj had many identical compatriots in his memory fragments. This could prove that they were produced by the same Void Lord.

On Azeroth, a total of five Old Gods had appeared. However, these five Old Gods looked completely different. Xal’atath had died too early, so no one knew what this Old God looked like. Its appearance couldn’t be found in Y’Shaarj’s memory fragments, but it was certain that it looked different from the other Old Gods. Y’Shaarj looked like a gigantic centipede, and its head could be raised upright, with several pairs of ferocious claws along both sides of its body. Yogg-Saron looked like a strange fish with an enormous mouth full of sharp teeth, and even its eyeball looked like sharp teeth. C’Thun looked like it had an incomparably large eyeball on its head, and N’Zoth looked like a big octopus.

There were huge differences in the appearances of these Old Gods. The only commonality was their tentacles, which could be long or short but were still tentacles. But these tentacles were for taking root better in planets.

Five Old Gods, five different appearances, representing five completely different templates, it would simply be a joke to say that they were created by the same Void Lord.

And the most important evidence came from the competition between the Old Gods. Xal’atath had been the first to arrive on Azeroth, but it had been killed by the four Old Gods later. If the Old Gods were just taking orders from the same Void Lord, this would absolutely not have happened. They should have worked together to corrode Azeroth.

The five templates represented five different Void Lords, but this was only because five Old Gods had appeared on Azeroth. There could be more Old Gods with different templates. In other words, there might be more than five Void Lords.

Void Lords were powerful. Roy naturally understood this. In the Void World, Sargeras and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had joined forces but couldn’t even break the shell of a Void Lord. This power naturally made people feel despair. It was precisely because of this blow that the proud and arrogant Sargeras finally collapsed and went from one extreme to another.

But did this really mean that the Void Lords couldn’t be defeated? Of course, this wasn’t the case. Roy knew very well that the Void Lords seemed invincible only because they were in the Void World and had the energy of the entire Void World for them to use. If they could be pulled into the material world, it might be a different story.

Sargeras might have thought of this, but he couldn’t find a way to pull the Void Lord into the material world in advance. So in the end, he could only think of the Burning Crusade plan to destroy the material world in advance to slow down the growth of the Void Lord’s energy. This step might seem crazy, but the core goal was to ensure that when the Void Lord entered the material world in the future, it wouldn’t be so powerful that it was unsolvable!

Only extremes were remembered, only obsessiveness dared to move forward bravely, and only madness could comprehend greatness. Sargeras stubbornly carried out his plan to save the entire universe in his own way. Regardless of whether the world thought he was right or wrong, he was always moving forward with this goal.

From this point of view, Sargeras was worthy of admiration…

But it was unknown what kind of mentality Sargeras would have when he learned that there were multiple Void Lords… Perhaps he had already vaguely sensed this possibility. Otherwise, after discovering Azeroth’s world-soul in the future, he wouldn’t have wanted to destroy her from the beginning to prevent her from being corrupted by the Void and then change his mind to absorb her. This was to increase his strength in preparation to fight against the Void Lords in the future. When he was finally taken away by the Pantheon, he realized that he couldn’t do anything, so he wanted to destroy Azeroth completely and stabbed his sword into it…

Roy’s analysis of Sargeras was actually very close to his true thoughts. It had to be said that as the first demon king that Sargeras had invited when he formed the Burning Legion, Roy’s understanding of Sargeras was indeed unique. And Sargeras could presumably understand Roy’s understanding of him. So even though Roy disappeared in the timeline at the drop of a hat, Sargeras still recognized his status as a commander of the Burning Legion. He even carried out the promise he had made to collect souls for him.

Although this couldn’t be considered mutual appreciation, it was still a kind of tacit understanding…

This was the greatest gain that Roy obtained from prying into the memories of the Heart of Y’Shaarj. What Roy wanted to know more was the names or titles of the Void Lords and what abilities they had. Unfortunately, Y’Shaarj didn’t know much about the Void Lord he served. It had been sent to the material world before it could even catch a glimpse of its lord.

If there were only a large number of Void Lords, it wouldn’t have mattered too much. But the problem was that Roy came from the outside world and had come into contact with existences like Lilith, so his understanding of the Void was different from others.

After confirming his guess that there was more than one Void Lord, Roy inevitably thought of some situations that Lilith had once told him. Lilith had once said that the true bodies of the seven most ancient Deadly Sin Demon Kings of the Abyss had disappeared from the Infinite Worlds. Occasionally, traces of their existence in certain worlds were actually deeds done by the clones they had created a long time ago. According to Lilith, the true bodies of these Seven Demon Kings had left in pursuit of the traces of the Creator.

Lilith was also pursuing the traces of the Creator. She had found Roy, obtained the seed of his Chaos power, and then brought him into this world and universe. Then she plunged into the rift of the Twisting Nether.

All these signs indicated that the Creator had finally disappeared somewhere in the Void. Since Lilith knew this and went to the depths of the Void to find the Creator, then the other Seven Demon Kings definitely knew. Did this mean that the Seven Demon Kings had also gone to the depths of the Void?

Roy didn’t know if the Seven Demon Kings had found traces of the Creator, but he had a vague guess that the Seven Demon Kings definitely had a great relationship with the Void Lords. If he boldly imagined the situation further, there might be seven Void Lords formed by the Seven Demon Kings who had entered the Void.

The reason why Roy guessed this was that he knew that without the Chaos power to resist the Void, no life could resist the corrosion of Void energy. Perhaps while the Seven Demon Kings were searching for the Creator in the depths of the Void, they were gradually devoured and transformed by the Void…

Moreover, from his interactions with Lilith in the past, Roy could understand that she really regarded the Creator as her father. She had always had a kind of admiration for the Creator, but it seemed that the other Seven Demon Kings were not like this, so their motive for pursuing the traces of the Creator was quite questionable. To put it bluntly, the Seven Demon Kings were probably thinking about the authority of the Creator!

Roy didn’t know if his guess was right, but in any case, after connecting all these things, he had his own logic for making such a guess. Since he knew that there was more than one Void Lord, he might as well be bold and define them as seven.

After being corroded and corrupted by the Void, the Seven Demon Kings were probably no longer the Seven Demon Kings. Perhaps their former demon names didn’t even exist. It was enough to know that they were enemies of the material world.

Roy was now considering if he should tell Sargeras about this situation or if it was enough for him to know.

After much deliberation, Roy decided not to tell Sargeras because, in his opinion, Sargeras’s Burning Crusade would ultimately fail. No matter how great his initial motive was, this plan to destroy the world had created too many enemies for him. If he told him about the number of Void Lords, it was hard to say what crazier things Sargeras would do, which would accelerate the destruction of the Burning Legion.

Roy still wanted to continue holding the banner of the Burning Legion and stay in this world for a while…

There were only these useful memories in the Heart of Y’Shaarj. Roy withdrew his claws and prepared to leave. But when he returned to the ground, he found himself surrounded by an army created by the titans.

The aesir and vanir, these titan-forged storm giants and stone giants, surrounded the entire Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Roy’s intrusion into the research base in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms had alarmed the titanic watchers. They were very curious about how a demon creature suddenly intruded into Azeroth. Moreover, to them, it was extremely dangerous for demons to come into contact with the Heart of Y’Shaarj, so they mobilized a large number of troops to surround Roy in a short time. Furthermore, two keepers of the titans, Highkeeper Ra-den and Prime Designate Odyn, appeared together.

Highkeeper Ra-den was originally in charge of dealing with the remains of Y’Shaarj. After receiving the notification, he realized that this demon creature that suddenly intruded might not be easy to deal with, so he immediately contacted Prime Designate Odyn and got him to teleport over. The two keepers wanted to capture this demon creature for interrogation.

Roy was very depressed about this. He didn’t expect keepers to come so quickly. Initially, he had planned to leave as soon as possible. The imprisoned Old Gods had nothing to do with him, and it was meaningless to fight with the titan-forged watchers. Next, he only wanted to go to the Well of Eternity to see if he could get some well water. But now that the keepers had come so quickly, it wasn’t so easy to leave.

In this case, I’ll do it! Roy didn’t like to talk nonsense. Facing Ra-den and Odyn’s question, Roy didn’t even bother to answer. He spread his demon wings and rushed toward the titan-forged army…

However, Roy didn’t know that he had poked a hornet’s nest this time…
