The Burning Legion, a legion of destruction made up of brutal demons and other monstrous creatures of the stars, was born millions of years ago and exists even older than most civilizations in the stars.
After the Bronze Titan Sargeras's guardianship collapsed and was contaminated by evil energy, his plans for the stars were greatly deviated, and he witnessed the terrible corrosion of the stars by the power of the Void from another universe, and after killing a compatriot who had lost hope trapped in the Void's package, the Dark Titan decided to wash the stars by force.
He believes that the corrosion of the void is something that he alone and even the entire Pantheon cannot stop, and in the end, all the potential star spirit stars in this group of stars will be corroded by the void, becoming the minions of the void power to subvert the present world, and become the enemy of the Pantheon.
In a sense, the mad Sargeras is actually very similar to Tyrion, both of them believe in a brutal logic of struggle, that after destroying the old world, a stronger and more hopeful new world will be born from the burning ashes... But the difference is that Sargeras's methods are a little more brutal.
The Dark Titan wants to destroy all worlds inhabited by astral spirits before the Void corrupts the stars, and then bring those pure, immature star spirits into his Dark Pantheon, where he will personally train them to become fearless warriors against the Void, and those who have been infected by the Void will be mercilessly burned to death by the evil fire of the end of the world.
To explain the idea of the Dark Titan Sargeras in layman's terms, it is:
My child may be influenced by bad guys to smoke, drink and drug addicts in the future, and he will become a little bad guy who does all kinds of evil, so before he grows up, I will hammer him to death with my own hands to get rid of future troubles.
But to achieve this "great" goal, it is not enough to rely on the extremely powerful Sargeras alone, the Dark Titan has infinite power, and he has not met an opponent after fighting all the stars, but he is only one person after all, even if he is strong enough to smash the planet with a random swing of a sword, but he still can't care about the stars outside the most brutal battlefield against the void, he needs subordinates.
He needs a group of subordinates who are strong, have a strong heart, can resist the corrosion of the Void, and can perfectly achieve their plan of destruction.
Sargeras's eyes searched among the stars, and soon, he found the right person... Demons, these brutal creatures born in the deepest depths of the Twisted Void are chaotic by nature, but they are strangely unaffected by the corrosive effects of the Void, and their hearts are full of devastating desires, and they also worship the strong by nature, and most importantly, their numbers are almost endless, which can be called the best source of soldiers among the stars.
Soon, the Dark Titan gathered a huge force, which he would call the Burning Legion, commanding many demons like stars at the forefront of the Void Corrosion, and fighting a never-ending war with the minions of the Void, and outside of the war, the Dark Titan also sent a division to achieve its goal of destroying all the seeds of corrosion.
Burning Crusade... This is a cruel word, the demon army adhering to the will of the Dark Titan roams the stars, every planet with star spirits dormant is their target, and those worlds without star spirits will also be ruthlessly slaughtered by the demons because they are peeped into by the void.
Every minute and every second, from the level of the stars, the efficiency of the demons in destroying the world is simply numb, especially after Sargeras recruited the intelligent race Eredas as the commander of the war for the Burning Legion, not only brute force, but also the panic and power of the evil and intelligent legion, which made the entire stars tremble.
But then again, the stars are so vast that there are countless creatures living in them, and there is not even a single one that can fight... Therefore, the invasion of the Legion is not always successful, although the number of failures is only a handful, but the Legion does fail, this is an indisputable fact, and the most recent one was a campaign led by the Dark Titan himself to invade the world of Azeroth 10,000 years ago.
That failure was inexplicable to many demons, and the explosion of the Well of Eternity threw all the demons back among the stars, even enveloping the Dark Titan himself who tried to cross the stargate into that world... It was also from that moment that the Dark Titan realized that this world called Azeroth was different...
It is pregnant with a star spirit with great potential, which the Dark Titan has known for a long time, when he was a bronze Titan, he also contributed to the protection of Azeroth, but the problem is that according to the time of Azeroth's birth, the star spirit should still be in the initial stage of sleep, and it is impossible to wake up, but in the face of the demon invasion, the star spirit that should have been sleeping did make a "counterattack".
Otherwise, the explosion of the Well of Eternity alone would not be enough to cut off the path of the Dark Titan.
So since then, Sargeras's interest in Azeroth has grown, and he instinctively feels that the existence of this planet carries some kind of strange mission.
Now, 10,000 years later, the Burning Legion has once again arrived in Azeroth, and they have come to shame for the snow.
The archdemon, Akmund the Polluter, sat atop the throne of the demon star Mardon, and before his eyes, the door to the legion of Azeroth was expanding, solidifying, and soon the portal would expand enough to allow him to enter the weak world in its entirety.
Although his own strength is not as terrifying as that of the Dark Titan, Akmund, the polluter, is already considered a powerful man among the stars, and the most powerful power of Azeroth is only a slightly troublesome bug in his eyes.
He had planned to solve Azeroth's troubles neatly, but now that the Polluter had a new idea, he was no longer in a hurry to destroy the world in front of him, for he had discovered that there was something he needed in this evil world.
"World Tree, Nordasil..."
The polluter once again picked up the tender green branch in his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it repeatedly, it was a "gift" presented to him by Casanatyr, from the world of Kalimdor in the world of Azeroth, the fallen branches of the World Tree of the Night Elf Hyjal Mountain, this thing was full of vigorous vitality even after it was separated from the mother body, and beyond the branch, it even shone with an emerald green shimmer.
In the hands of any caster, this thing would be safeguarded and used as the highest level of treasure, but in the eyes of the polluter, the life force on this branch is just meaningless, and what he really values is the hidden and higher secret of the existence of Azeroth by the World Tree.
From the twig in front of him, the polluter smelled a familiar smell... When he met the extremely powerful Dark Titan several times, he could always smell the kind of power breath that belonged to the Star Spirit Titan, yes, although it was very weak, but the polluter could be sure that on the branch in front of him, there was indeed a power of the same source as the Dark Titan rolling!
This makes the polluters can't help but give birth to something they shouldn't have... Idea.
"The Titan Star Spirits, a great race destined to run rampant with the stars from the time of their birth... Innate domination, desirable power and status, endless potential..."
The polluter muttered to himself:
"He promised to give us powers second only to the gods, but... What if I could directly access the power of the gods? If I could draw on the power of this primordial Titan and elevate myself to the new Titan... Do I still need your handy gift? ”
This sounds like a crazy idea, and it seems impossible to realize, because the polluter has destroyed many star spirit worlds with his own hands, and he knows very well that the power of the star spirits is united with the world they live in when it is immature, and it is a power that cannot be extracted, transformed, and can only be forcibly destroyed, which is the power that belongs only to the Star Spirit Titans.
Akmund once thought that the power of the star spirit was sacred and could not be coveted, but now, looking at the branch of the world tree in his hand, he realized that he was wrong.
Azeroth, the World Tree planted by the Night Elves, for some reason, was able to extract the power of Azeroth's star spirit to strengthen himself, does this mean that as long as that tree falls into the hands of the Great Demon, he can also use this tree as a conductor to absorb all the power of the Titan Star Spirit bred inside Azeroth into his body?
When the power of an immature Titan is infused into the body of the Polluter, does it mean that the Polluter will become the new Titan... Become a kindred of the powerful god-like dark titan Sargeras? Even... Become the next Dark Titan?
The Polluter had seen the Dark Titan battle among the stars more than once, a power beyond his imagination that made him thirst for it in the deepest part of his heart, and it wasn't it because of his thirst for power that he led his people to the rule of Sargeras 25,000 years ago.
Now, a more powerful power at his fingertips, shouldn't he try his best to obtain it?
As for the possible future punishment of the Dark Titan?
No... There is no punishment!
The polluter shook his head:
"As long as I succeed, as long as I become the next Titan, he will not be able to punish me, he will only give me a higher status, teach me to use this power with endless potential, and train me to be his comrade-in-arms... I'm going to share the whole stellar with him! ”
"Smack"
The young branches of the World Tree in the five fingers of the polluter were forcibly torn apart at this moment, and under the infection of evil energy, the branches that emitted an emerald green light turned into powder in an instant, but the trace of star spirit power contained in the branches was wrapped around the polluter's fingers like a shimmering veil, and after a breath, the pale blue, star-like halo seeped into his skin.
It's faint, so faint that you can barely feel it... But it was indeed a higher power, the polluter's fingers moved, and he frowned as he felt the power of the astral spirit seeping into his body, a shimmer of power infiltrated by his own vast evil energy, dissolved, melted, and it wasn't until minutes later that the polluter opened his eyes again.
He sat on the throne and looked back at the ruined ruins of the shattered star Mardon floating among the stars behind him, he saw details that he had never seen before, with the help of the power of the astral spirit that was integrated into his body, he saw the world as it was before it was destroyed, and he even saw the core of the world, the core of the planet that was infected and twisted by the power of the Dark Titan, like the brightest of green gems the size of a fist.
"The Sagrete Keystone... The strange thing that connects thousands of worlds, it turns out, it turns out that it was made like this..."
The polluter saw the truth that he could not understand, he could feel that he was only one step away from the truth of the stars, he needed more star power, he could not bear the terrible feeling that the truth was in front of him and he could not touch, this feeling was simply the most terrible torture for a man who was crazy about power.
"Bang"
The nameless anger in his heart caused the polluter to slam his fist on the armrest of the throne, and he turned to look at Tikdios, who was standing beside him, and he roared loudly:
"Is the Legion's Gate ready?"
"I'm tired of waiting, I'm going to destroy this damn world with my own hands..."
This sudden roar made the former First Lord shrink his head decisively, and it hurried to the portal in front of it shining like a dark green sun, and after several repeated inspections, Tikdios turned back to Akmund and shouted:
"Polluters... Alright, the energy of the portal is solid enough, come on, pour out your hatred and anger into this damn world. ”
Before Tikdios could finish his flattering words, he was pushed away by the striding polluter, and Akmund looked back at the First Lord of Nasrezm with disdain, and he said in a deep voice:
"It's not just destruction and hatred! You don't understand anything, you don't understand what the world means to the Legion, Tikdios, you are pathetic..."
After a taunt, the incomparably powerful Burning Legion No. 2, the leader of Eredar from the world of Argus, the right and left hand of the Dark Titan, and Akmund, who represents the evil frenzy of polluting the stars, stretched out his massive body and strode into the portal in front of him.
The moment his gaze was filled with the light of interstellar teleportation, a flash of longing flashed across the polluter's face.
"Ahh The power of mesmerizing, I... Akmund, I'm coming! ”
