Chapter 600: Dragon Aspect

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Flying slowly in the sky, Roy skimmed the sky and the land.

Unlike the Azeroth in his memories, the sky and the land that he was seeing were completely real. He could feel the flowing wind in the air. He could often see running animals and trickling streams on the ground below. These things reminded him that this was a real world.

So far, Roy had experienced many fantasy worlds, and all of them were real without exception. This made him click his tongue in amazement at the existence of the Infinite Worlds. He didn’t know how these real fantasy worlds came about, but it was indeed a good experience for him to travel in these worlds that corresponded to his memories.

Hmm, even though he had messed up some worlds, he was still very happy…

In the real world, there were definitely no players helping the natives of Azeroth resist the Burning Legion. Therefore, the battles between the people of this world and the Burning Legion only came from the endless number of heroes of their races.

Roy had always felt that it was very strange. How did a group of races that couldn’t even go out of their own planet fight against a powerful army like the Burning Legion that already had planet-destroying starships and could travel the universe? Even the level of civilization was different. It was simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But in reality, the people of Azeroth really delayed the Burning Legion’s expedition. Not only did they delay it, but they even attacked the Burning Legion again and again.

During this period of time, apart from extracting A’dal’s Holy Light every day in Outland, Roy had spent the rest of his time thinking about this problem and finally came to some conclusions.

The enemies of the Burning Legion, the titans of the Pantheon, the Army of the Light, and so on, had given Azeroth a lot of help behind the scenes. In addition, the fighting spirit of the people of Azeroth was also one of the reasons why they resisted the Burning Legion. But Roy was a demon himself. Regarding the situation of the Burning Legion, he felt that there was another very important factor for the successive failures of the Legion—greed!

Greed was the nature of demons, and there was nothing much to say about this. But the problem was that this planet of Azeroth was really unique. Not only did it nurture one of the most powerful world-souls, but it also had many treasures emerging endlessly. These were irresistible temptations for demons.

From the very beginning, even Sargeras coveted the energy of the Well of Eternity that was so immense that it illuminated the starry sky. So he didn’t choose to destroy this planet from outer space but chose to land to fight.

Then there was the World Tree Nordrassil. After absorbing the energy of the second Well of Eternity, Nordrassil also had extraordinary energy. Roy knew very well that if Archimonde still acted as he remembered, the night elves would kill him when he climbed the World Tree.

In Roy’s opinion, these two failures were actually quite inexplicable. But it was undeniable that after careful analysis, you would find that the greedy nature of demons was at play.

Sargeras wanted the power of the Well of Eternity because he wanted to go one step further and see if he could obtain the strength to fight the Void Lords. And Archimonde wanted the power of the World Tree because he wanted to become a powerful existence like Sargeras. This greed was the inferior nature rooted in the instincts of demons. From the moment they fell into depravity, it was irreversible.

In fact, even Roy himself was the same. He was tirelessly pursuing souls and stronger strength, but he was more clear-headed and could see himself clearly.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with demons pursuing power. The key was that this planet of Azeroth was like a piece of sweet bait that attracted the Burning Legion here, preventing them from completely destroying this planet in an easier way and tempting them to choose to invade and fight. This choice naturally gave the people of Azeroth a chance to catch their breath, allowing them to rely on their powerful wills to resist and turn this planet into a meat grinder for demons, making the Legion taste defeat again and again.

The Legion continued to fail, and the people of Azeroth became stronger and stronger as they fought. They learned to be more and more effective and became more and more experienced in dealing with demons. They also continuously obtained the help of the other organizations in the universe that hated the Burning Legion.

As a bystander, Roy could see the development of this situation clearly, but it was not necessarily the case for the Burning Legion, which already had an obsession with Azeroth…

Azeroth actually had weaknesses. If Roy led the invasion of the Burning Legion, he would most likely adopt continuous instigation to cause internal strife among the various races of Azeroth. Then he would let them consume all their war potential in the constant infighting before finally taking them down in one fell swoop.

This plan might take a long time, but the chances of winning would be much higher. After all, there were too many races on Azeroth. Different living environments had created different cultural cores, and the conflict of interests among the various races determined that it was very difficult for them to coexist peacefully. Without the existence of a common external enemy, the Burning Legion, they would destroy each other themselves.

Thus, from this point of view, the Burning Legion had contributed greatly to the integration of the races of Azeroth…

Looking at Roy’s pensive expression, Julia flew beside him and asked, “Darling, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…” Roy felt conflicted. “If Archimonde is about to die in battle, should I save his life?”

Yes, Roy felt a headache when he thought about how Archimonde would attack Kalimdor because he coveted the World Tree of Mount Hyjal, which would cause the Alliance and the Horde to join forces against him. Although Roy hadn’t been on Argus for a long time, he found that Archimonde actually didn’t have any brains. He belonged to the kind of thug-type character who always relied on his powerful strength to do whatever he wanted without any consideration for the consequences.

But he had to admit that this guy with muscles for brains was really a human-shaped taunting machine. As soon as he appeared, he basically attracted the attention of all of Azeroth. With him blocking in front, it was more convenient for Roy to do things.

Benia thought for a moment and said, “Kil’jaeden has been monitoring this world. He should know that you’ve come to Azeroth. If you leave Archimonde in the lurch and cause him to fail or even die, Kil’jaeden might take out his anger on you.”

“He doesn’t dare to take out his anger on me!” Roy snorted coldly. “Archimonde is the leader of this invasion, and Kil’jaeden planned it. Since they left me out, they have to bear the consequences of their failure. I have no obligation to pay for their failure.”

“That’s true, but Kil’jaeden might complain to Sargeras!” Julia said thoughtfully, “Will this give Sargeras an excuse to delay his promise of giving you souls?”

“There’s no need to think about it. It will definitely happen!” Roy said with certainty. “In fact, during my time in Outland, I’ve investigated the records of the planets destroyed by the Legion over the years. In the tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the Burning Legion, the number of worlds destroyed in the Burning Crusade is in units of hundreds of thousands. Although a hundred trillion souls is a tremendous number, I estimate that Sargeras has already gathered this number of souls or even slightly more. But when I contacted him through the scepter, he told me that he hadn’t gathered them all yet.”

“He’s stalling!” Benia said hatefully. “He probably knows very well that once he hands over those souls to you, you won’t let him use you anymore, so he’s been stalling.”

“That’s right…” Julia said. “But I’m quite curious. Darling, what kind of contract did you make with him that he agreed to collect so many souls for you?”

Roy looked at the Void Angel Auriel on his shoulder. She turned her head mechanically and looked at him. He looked at her and said, “Actually, I’ve roughly guessed it. I most likely revealed the power of the Void to Sargeras at some point and told him that if I had a large number of souls, I might be able to help him solve the problem of the Void Lords…”

“Is… is that possible?” Julia and Benia looked at each other.

“Of course it’s possible. Auriel, this Void Angel, is proof that I’ve indeed suppressed the eruption of Void power in her body!” Roy said. “Void power isn’t unsolvable. Since Sargeras can’t deal with the Void Lords, then what about power that exceeds Sargeras’s level?”

“In other words, strength that exceeds the Deadly Sin level?” Benia asked curiously. “Then, how do you do it?”

Roy said with a headache, “I don’t know yet, or I haven’t thought about it.”

For this massive number of souls, Roy was definitely going to use them to improve himself, but he didn’t have a clue as to how to use them. Before, he had mostly relied on the system to materialize external objects, such as divine artifacts and fantasy items. This might no longer be useful, so he was at a loss. What should he do with the souls he would get from Sargeras?

“In any case, our goal in coming to Azeroth this time is to find Sargeras!” Roy said. “I’ve thought about it. I don’t need to save Archimonde. If that guy fails, so be it. We can continue to complete his goal… Archimonde’s failure will set off my success. In that case, there’s no reason for Sargeras to withhold my remuneration.”

“Then, where are we going now?” Julia asked.

“Go north. Let’s go to Northrend!” Roy said.

“Find that orcish Lich King Ner’zhul?” Benia was puzzled.

“No, we’re going to the Borean Tundra of Northrend!” Roy’s eyes were shining with a scorching light, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. “There’s an old dragon there. I believe Rafaro will definitely be interested in his dragon soul! And I… I want the artifact guarded by that old dragon: the Focusing Iris!”
