53. The Hand of Death
"I'm not a qualified engineer."
Tyrion clumsily tried to remove a screw with arcane energy attached to it, and babbled on and on:
"I'm interested in engineering, but it's only because I can't read drawings, I can't build complex equipment, and I don't even know how to use these weird tools."
"Bang"
With a soft sound, the delicate thinking core in Tyrion's hand broke away from the bracket and was fished out of the hands of the Great Lord before it fell to the ground, and behind him, Lay's huge rock and steel body had been cut into pieces of wreckage, as if he had experienced a terrible murder case, and Tyrion, the murderer, was trying to destroy the corpse.
But that's not the case...
Titan creations are not the same as mortal life, although these guardians look similar to flesh and blood creatures, but they are actually more similar to robots, they have a complete thinking soul, but they are bound to a thing called "thinking core", that thing is like a CPU of a computer system, if the net weight of mortal souls is 21 grams, then the soul weight of the guardians, well... It's about 5KG.
"Well, it's beautiful."
Tyrion placed the near-perfect 143-sided cut in front of his eyes, and in the dark blue light, the diamond-like crystals shone brightly, enough to make any woman in the world feel her heart flutter.
"How the hell did the Titans make you? It's really curious..."
The Great Lord put down the complex engineering instrument in his hand, he held Rai's thinking core in his hand, and the black and cold death power slowly seeped into this thinking core along his ten fingers, like ink polluting a basin of clean pool water.
Rai, who was torn down his body, naturally couldn't speak, but the vibration in the soul core represented the roaring anger and rebuke in the heart of the Great Guardian, in the battle of less than 10 minutes just now, he lost the heart of thunder and lightning, and spent tens of thousands of years in despair and collapse, he faced the heyday of the Great Lord of Death, almost no substantial resistance, and his body was ruthlessly chopped to pieces.
In the face of the power of death with the power of withering and withering, the once noble Great Guardian had no way to resist, his weapons had long been lost in time, his family had long since betrayed, and he was already a poor loner.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I will not destroy the integrity of your soul."
The High Lord closed his eyes, manipulating the power of death, leaving a series of nicks on the strange soul in his hand, and he whispered:
"I said, I'm going to do a little "surgery" for you, the soul of the guardian is so huge, even I can't reshape it, but it doesn't matter, I'll put some small prohibitions on your soul, they will temporarily strip away the influence of meaningless emotions on your thinking, just like the undead, the guardian who will not be affected by emotions, I don't want to hurt you, I just need you to calm down temporarily... Do you know the undead? Have you ever seen the undead? ”
Tyrion put the core of his mind infested by the power of death to his ear, and after a moment, the High Lord frowned:
"Also, don't swear, it's not in line with who you are, you're a big guardian anyway..."
At this time, the perfect diamond-like thinking core in Tyrion's hand has been infected by the black death, and the death power infused into the guardian's thinking core is like flowing ink, along with Rai's thinking activities, constantly twisting the direction of movement in the thinking core, like some kind of disease, affecting the thinking operation of the Great Guardian.
The Titan Guardians inherited the pure arcane power from the Titans, which is one of the six basic powers of the stars, and in most cases, this pure, high-ranking Titan power will help the Guardians resist all external forces that try to infect the mind, but the problem is that the Titan Guardians have been in Azeroth for hundreds of thousands of years, and the Pantheon has long since severed its connection with them, so the arcane power in the Guardians' bodies has also become less pure in the passage of time.
That's why in the Sealed Land of the Elder Gods, in the Titan city of Ulduar on the continent of Northrend, so many Guardians are polluted by the Elder Gods.
But since the Void can corrupt the mind of a Guardian, there's no reason why death can't do it... Especially in the face of a guardian like Rai who has lost his strength and has a broken will, the Great Lord did not waste much time, and injected the pure power of death into the core of Rai's thinking, although the rank of this death power is not as good as Rai's Titan arcane power, but the Great Lord does not need to completely reverse Rai's will and thinking.
All he needed was to temporarily seal away the kind of despair and collapse in Rai's mind, so that the Great Guardian could remember his mission again, and let him regain his instinct to think, and as for persuading a Guardian like Rai to join his side, Tyrion had a more suitable "persuader" than him.
"Your body is filthy and weak, and you need the body of a strong and pure warrior... Only such a powerful body can carry your reborn soul! so that you can better fulfill your sacred mission..."
Tyrion held the slowly transforming core of his mind in mid-air, his ice-blue eyes shining with anticipation:
"Of course, I've got such a powerful body ready for you!"
As he spoke, an ice-blue rift in the realm of death burst open in front of the Great Lord's eyes, and under the escort of several silent high-ranking death knights, a huge steel box was carried by the two Death Gorons and slowly placed on the ground of the secret room in front of Tyrion.
In the steel chest stood the body of a Titan larger and stronger than Rai's...
It was clad in heavy armor of rock and steel, and on its washed cheeks was carved a stern and indifferent face, and on the forehead of the cheeks identical to those of the Dark Titan Sargeras, two demonic horns curved outward, like crowns.
The Titan Body used by the Dark Titan when he entered Azeroth 800 years ago was the trophy of Tyrion in the Tomb of Sargeras, and it was filled with powerful evil powers at the time, but now, in the area where the death power of the Dead World is most intense, after such a long time of washing, those evil powers have been stripped away little by little, like armor that has been carefully brushed inch by inch.
Even the wound on the chest of the Titan's body, which was cut by the Guardian Egwene with magic power 800 years ago, was filled by the Great Lord with the power of death.
It was like a legendary piece of armor, quietly placed in this huge steel box, when I first got this Titan Body, it was only 5 meters high, but it was caused by the seal of the Tomb of Sargeras, as a container forged by the Dark Titan for his soul, the Titan Body in front of him can be enlarged or reduced according to the strength of the soul.
Moreover, this is only the most insignificant of the body's mighty abilities.
Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Tyrion himself didn't like this body made of rock and steel, and couldn't bear his wife and children, he would even want to give up his flesh and blood body and place his increasingly powerful soul in the Titan body in front of him.
"This is yours, a new warrior body..."
The Great Lord slowly levitated in mid-air, he stood in front of the 10-meter-high box in front of him, and he said to the core of his mind that had calmed down in his heart:
"This body was used by the Dark Titan Sargeras, you can feel it, right? It's more than 5 times more powerful than your production body, and if you get used to it and merge with it perfectly, I can guarantee that your self-depraved brothers won't be your match for it... Rai, the past is gone, we have to learn to look forward! ”
"I know that the fall of the Pantheon has broken your will, and you can't stand the easy killing of your perfect Creator, but you have to understand that there is no time left for you to grieve and suffer... Let me tell you. ”
The Great Lord put the core of his mind in front of him, and he said in an accentuated tone:
"Sargeras didn't spare their souls after killing your Creator, and the poor Titans hid themselves as much as they could, but they were still found by the Dark Titans one by one, and then twisted into the Fallen Titans like Agrama... You don't know yet, do you? The Dark Titans used the souls left behind by the Titans of the Pantheon to reorganize the Dark Pantheon! ”
"That tyrant wants to use the power of the Titans to help him destroy the entire stars once and for all, and use this destruction to fight the inevitable corrosion of the Void... It's crazy! However, can you, who are so adored by your Creator, accept the sad fate of your Creator being twisted into a depraved monster? ”
The Great Lord could feel that after he revealed this truth, the strength of the thinking core in his palm to resist the infiltration of death power weakened by more than half in an instant, and the black death power began to quickly fill this perfect diamond-like thinking core.
"You don't even need to answer, I can guess what you think, you can't accept it! The sacrifices of great men should be remembered, not humiliated, you see, I am trying to fight the Dark Titans in my own way, and luckily, the world spirits of this world are also on my side... But if it's just the two of us, it won't work! ”
The Great Lord looked at the core of his mind that was becoming more and more immersed in black death, and said:
"We need helpers, we need strong helpers, people like you, like your brothers... Provided, of course, that they abandon their pathetic bad habits... I see, I gave you a condition that you can't refuse, I know you'll promise me, I know you can't refuse a request from Elune..."
He stretched out his hand and placed the core of his mind, which had been transformed into almost pure black, between the skull of the Titan in front of him, and then placed the thunderous heart of lightning into the heart of the Titan warrior's body.
After doing all this, Tyrion retreated in mid-air, looking expectantly at the body of the Titan warrior who had been reawakened under the abundance of thought and power, he spread his arms, and between the brighter and brighter lightning flashes, the light in his ice-blue eyes shone brighter and brighter, and he whispered:
"Don't resist! Rai, let go of your mind... In the dawn of death, welcome your new life..."
"Together, we will protect the world, and you will take up that sacred mission again, and you will save your Creator as a savior... You will be the hero of the Titans... I've seen that future! ”
"Boom"
At Tyrion's call, the power of the thunder and lightning heart on the chest of the Titan warrior in front of him became stronger and stronger, as if it was truly integrated into the body used by Sargeras, and the thunder and lightning were like blood flowing in the veins of the body, making the bronze green body glow with blue lightning under the skin, making it look like a thunderbolt wielder.
And the core of the mind infiltrated by the power of death also began to slowly take over this powerful body, as Tyrion said, the body forged by the Dark Titan for his soul is quite powerful, and the power contained in the body alone is several times stronger than the body of Rai's former guardian.
"Buzz"
The Titan warrior with his head bowed opened his eyes at this moment, and those eyes were no longer chaotic evil energy, but replaced by ice-blue eyes like Tyrion, dead and full of indifference, obviously, the power of death that Tyrion had injected into the core of Ray's mind had begun to isolate the emotions of this guardian, making him become like an undead, thinking only with the purest reason.
"Wow"
The blue-white halo of thunder and lightning suddenly returned to the body of the Titan warrior at this moment, he raised his arm, and between the thunder and lightning rolling, a broken blade of rock and steel reconstituted appeared in his hand, Rai roared and stepped forward, holding the thunderous sword with both hands, and slashed at the great lord suspended in front of him.
And in the face of this swift blow, Tyrion didn't even blink an eye, and he had no defense against the blade full of thunder and the power of the Titan.
"Huh"
The huge, 7-meter-long sword stopped less than 1 meter in front of Tyrion's forehead, and the whistling sword wind blew the Great Lord's long hair back.
"What is this doing?"
Tyrion raised his head, tilted his head, and looked at the reborn Great Guardian in front of him, and he asked softly:
"Are you testing my courage? Or is it the anger that swells inside you that you want you to cut me in two? ”
"No one has ever dared to do such an evil thing to the Venerable Titan Guardian! You're the first! You daring mortal! ”
On the cheeks of the Titan warrior's body, the face that resembles Sargeras is quickly recovering into Rai's original face under Rai's adjustment, and the demonic horns of Nala Wind are slowly retracting from the body of the Titan, obviously, Rai doesn't like such demon-like "ornaments".
There was substantial anger and reluctance in those indifferent eyes, but after looking at the High Lord for dozens of seconds, the sword in Rai's hand suddenly disappeared, and the newborn Great Guardian took a step back, he put his left hand on his chest, and leaned slightly towards Tyrion, as if it was some kind of special etiquette.
"However, if what you say is true, then I am willing to walk with you, and the noble and great Creator should not be so humiliated by Sargeras... I'll go to the heart of the world first, and if Elune agrees with your actions, then... I'm willing to drive for you..."
"Then let's go! The Hand of Death. ”
The Great Lord nodded with satisfaction:
"When you come back, we'll go to Ulduar..."
"Take your lost and incompetent brothers, one by one... Awaken! One after the other..."
"Waste utilization."
