Chapter 724 What happened?
"Order or not doesn't matter. We don't care about these so-called reputations. What we care about is to eliminate anything that may threaten our existence." Sargeras said indifferently, as if what he said was nothing out of the ordinary.
When Yun heard this, his anger grew even more intense. He widened his eyes and glared at Sargeras, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "But... but just because of this, can you kill innocent people? Billions of lives were wiped out in a single thought of yours, don't you have the slightest guilt?"
Facing Yun's question, Sargeras seemed unconcerned. He raised his lips slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and asked back: "You are saying this as if the number of lives that died in your hands was small. When we destroy lives, we often don't even know how we do it. It's like when you see a small mound of dirt and feel bored, so you casually release a fireball, but you don't know that there is a whole colony of ants hidden in this small mound of dirt. Just because of your whim, they suffered a devastating disaster."
Sargeras' words were like a sharp sword that pierced Yun's heart. Yun was stunned. He suddenly realized that at some point, he might have accidentally brought disaster to other lives just like Sargeras. However, he still couldn't accept Sargeras' indifference to life.
"But the people you killed were lives that could communicate with you! Just a while ago, they were still dining with you and chatting and laughing, but you killed them all one by one so cruelly. So, you are much more bloody and violent than us." Sargeras' words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yun's heart.
Yun opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. Recalling the previous war, he personally ended the existence of countless lives. At that time, the population of the three kingdoms was so huge! The Arasso family alone could easily gather 100,000 soldiers, plus the logistics personnel and family members, the population controlled by this family was close to one million. If this is calculated, the number of humans is definitely an astonishing number.
Not only that, there are also those elves and trolls who can confront humans, and their numbers are also not to be underestimated. However, after repeated encirclement and suppression of Yun, although Yun now temporarily controls all the forces, the troops he can organize are very limited. This is enough to show how much the population has been reduced.
Faced with Sargeras' accusations, Yun could not refute. He could only silently bear the guilt and self-blame in his heart.
"I had no choice. My original intention was just to protect myself." Yun defended unwillingly.
"Self-preservation?" Sargeras sneered. "Isn't everything we do for self-preservation? Are we just going to sit back and do nothing as we watch those beings that may pose a threat to us grow stronger?"
Yun was somewhat at a loss for words, but he still tried to defend himself: "But...you...you were so cruel to exterminate those beings that only had a little possibility."
Sargeras' laughter became more contemptuous, and he responded sarcastically: "Maybe? Do you think the only ones who can harm us are the Old Gods? Wrong! What really scares us are the monsters that emerge from the chaotic time stream. They cannot be communicated with at all, and the only purpose of their existence is to mess up all the time streams and leave no way out for everyone."
"Hmm?" Yun was shocked when he heard that. "The guys in the time and space turbulence?" He never expected that the Titans would be so afraid of such a being. Thinking back to when he first stepped into the Caverns of Time, he did encounter those weird guys, and just as Sargeras said, they turned the entire Caverns of Time into a bloody slaughterhouse.
However, how could such guys pose a threat to Titan? This is simply nonsense! Although these guys do have certain strengths, it is hard for Yun to believe that they can threaten Titan. Could it be that the same is true for Flor and himself?
"Space-time turbulence is a monster created based on space-time nodes," Sargeras explained. "This monster can be any creature in the space-time node, such as a Titan, an ancient god, or even a star soul that is about to awaken." He paused, then continued, "In the space-time turbulence, their strength will be limited, because the energy that creates the space-time node cannot be stronger than any Titan."
Yun nodded thoughtfully, seeming to understand something.
"But," Sargeras suddenly emphasized, "this Titan may be able to escape from the turbulence of time and space. Once it breaks free from the constraints of the time and space nodes, it will grow at an astonishing speed and reach a height that no one can imagine."
At this point, Sargeras's expression became noticeably nervous. Obviously, this incident had happened before and had left a very deep impression on him.
"This..." Yun's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak for a while. Although Sargeras' words made some sense, Yun couldn't believe that everything he said was true. Whether from the game settings, from the historical records here, or from the information obtained from Flor, there was no evidence that these things could pose a threat to the Titans and the Old Gods. Therefore, Yun firmly believed that Sargeras must have some ulterior motives to speak so nonsense.
However, facing Sargeras's endless narration, Yun decided to be patient, hoping to capture some useful information from his words. After all, such an opportunity is rare.
"I know you don't believe what I said, but it doesn't matter to me anymore." Sargeras' voice was still calm, as if he didn't care about Yun's doubts at all. "The path you take is completely different from that of Foror. I believe that one day in the future, you will understand everything I said today."
Yun frowned, he couldn't understand why Sargeras said that. "How is it possible?" He muttered to himself, "When I was here, the outside world had been defeated by Aman'Thul. I don't know what I can do after I get out. I am no match for Aman'Thul, I..."
Yun's words gradually faded away, his heart filled with confusion and helplessness. Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, the fact was that he had already lost, and lost miserably.
"Your vision is too narrow. Your subordinates are of no help to you. You have never relied on any subordinates. Similarly, Aman'thul's goal is to destroy you, and he has no hatred towards your subordinates. It is wrong to treat your battle with Aman'thul the same as with others." Sargeras' voice was like a loud bell, echoing in Yun's ears.
Yun's eyes widened, and he wanted to refute, but he found himself speechless. He suddenly realized that he had always relied too much on his subordinates and ignored his true strength and value.
"Hmm? I..." Yun's throat was dry, and his voice became trembling. He felt more and more speechless, as if he was bound by Sargeras' words and could not break free.
What made him even more uneasy was that he gradually felt that he was brainwashed by Sargeras. This feeling was like an invisible force that constantly eroded his thinking and made him feel an irresistible sense of identity with what Sargeras said.
"This feeling is very bad..." Yun muttered to himself, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He knew that Sargeras was not only powerful, but also eloquent. This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous opponent.
Yun couldn't help but think of Sargeras' past. He was once a member of the Titans, but for some reason he betrayed the Titans, left them, and re-established the Burning Legion. Now, facing such a powerful and cunning enemy, Yun felt unprecedented pressure.
"My goal is indeed very simple," Sargeras' voice echoed in Yun's ears, "You only need to go all out in a fierce battle with Aman'Thul. Don't worry about your life or death, because you are destined not to die in this battle. I sincerely hope that you can delay Aman'Thul as long as possible and buy me more time. Of course, it would be great if you can defeat Aman'Thul in the end."
Yun listened to Sargeras' words, and felt unhappy that he was being plotted against. He widened his eyes and questioned Sargeras, "You told me this so bluntly? Aren't you worried that I will join forces with Aman'Thul to deal with you? Or that I will kill Aman'Thul right here?"
Sargeras seemed to have anticipated Yun's questioning. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "This is no problem for me. Aman'Thul will never let you go. No matter what, you will definitely fight Aman'Thul to the death for your own survival. So, even if you will not die, I just hope that you can hold on in this battle for a while longer."
Yun frowned, and he felt that Sargeras' words were full of contradictions and irrationality. He asked, "Don't I have any chance of winning? And why am I sure I won't die? Since I am no match for Aman'Thul, how could he let me go so easily? And why am I able to survive?"
Yun asked a series of questions like a string of cannonballs, he really couldn't understand what Sargeras said. Although some of the things were indeed as Sargeras said, there were obviously many loopholes and doubts.
"Haha, you'll know when the time comes. I'm here to help you this time. I also know you won't believe what I say. I just come to tell you not to give up. At the same time, I'm also reminding you that Aman'thul has something he cares about very much on your planet." The corners of Sargeras' mouth rose slightly, revealing an elusive smile.
Yun couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He stared at Sargeras and asked, "Hmm? What is that?" He couldn't think of anything that Aman'Thul would care about on his planet. Could it be a star soul? Although Ezra's star soul was indeed extremely powerful, and Aman'Thul was very concerned about it, it didn't seem to be of much help to his current situation.
Sargeras looked at Yun's suspicious expression, and the smile on his lips widened. He seemed to find Yun's reaction quite interesting and chuckled, "Haha, think about it yourself." Before he finished speaking, Sargeras' figure gradually dissipated like smoke, as if he had never appeared.
Seeing this, Yun thought to himself that something was wrong. He was about to call out to Sargeras, but suddenly he felt a powerful force pulling him hard, and he was instantly sucked into an unknown space.
This feeling was very similar to the teleportation when he entered the dungeon before. Yun felt that everything around him was spinning rapidly, making him dizzy. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to steady his body. After a long time, the dizziness was slightly relieved.
Yun slowly opened his eyes, but it was pitch black in front of him. He blinked and tried to adapt to the dark environment. Although he couldn't see anything, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be something in this space. It was just too dark, so he needed some time to let his eyes adapt.
After waiting for a long time, Yun's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness around him, and he could vaguely see the outlines of some objects. He groped forward cautiously, and each step seemed a little staggering. After all, walking in such a dark environment was really a bit scary.
After walking a short distance, Yun suddenly noticed a faint light flickering in front of him. Although the light was very weak, it was particularly eye-catching in the endless darkness. Yun was delighted and didn't care about anything else. He quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the direction of the light.
As the distance got closer, the light became brighter and brighter. Yun finally saw the scene clearly and was shocked! There was a huge platform in the distance. On top of the platform lay a huge dragon skeleton. The size of the dragon skeleton was beyond imagination! Above the platform was a vast starry sky. The stars were like gems inlaid in the night sky, flickering with faint light.
A thought flashed through Yun's mind - could this be the legendary Caverns of Time? But how did it become like this? Whose huge dragon skeleton was it? Could it be Nozdormu? How could it die here? Moreover, everything here seemed so strange, as if time had stopped here.
Yun's mind was full of questions. He couldn't help but start to think about what happened here. Was it a terrible disaster that caused all this? Or was there some other reason? And how long had he walked in this darkness? These questions were like a tangled mess in Yun's mind, making him feel confused.
