7. The grievances and hatreds of ancient creations
In the Midnight Graveyard of Stormwind, the atmosphere is very quiet, Tyrion stands alone, in the starlight of the night, seems to be thinking about some important questions, the occasional Death Knight patrolling the streets sees the figure of the boss in the distance, but no one bother, they all know that the boss occasionally becomes a melancholy and silent person, and the boss is very scary when he gets angry.
Unbeknownst to these knights, however, the soul of their boss was immersed in another dimension, with a creature that was vital to the Darkblade Legion..."Heart-to-heart."
Frankly, when he learned from Bonsandy that Hela's messenger was coming, Tyrion was ready for a tough battle, as he had learned some stories about the Shadow Valkyrie's might have been told from the Troll Reaper, but when the real messenger arrived, it turned out to be somewhat unexpected.
Shadow Wagriagasa's strength is not weak, her own strength is enough to fight against the dragon-blood-enhanced Necromantic Lord, coupled with her strange soul constitution, as well as those spells that directly act on the soul, and the ability to cross the two realms at will, no matter how you look at it, this is a tricky enemy.
But strength is a thing to be compared, in comparison with each other, Tyrion, who learned soul spells from Bonsandy, when facing Agassa, with the help of Wagri's arrogant character, provoked her and set a trap, which made Tyrion have the absolute upper hand in the confrontation between the two.
He carefully maintained the shackles of his soul, and the thorny nature of Vargri determined that as long as Tyrion was negligent, they would immediately flee, which was not what he wanted to see, but now, the sorrow in Agassa's heart was triggered by Tyrion's question. The naked shadow angel seems to have entered a state of "self-abandonment" under heavy pressure.
Every creature has its own emotions, and Tyrion was all too familiar with them, and after realizing that there was a hint of loss and resentment in the tone of the strange Wagri in front of him, Tyrion realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
"Why?"
Tyrion narrowed his eyes, and as a gesture of kindness, he flicked his fingers, and the black chains that bound Agassa's hands dissipated with a soft click, and the Shadow Angel flicked her wrist to pick up her armor from the ground, recovering her exposed upper body, and after doing so, she looked at the Death Knight in front of her with the eyes that were covered above her face and under her helmet.
There was another eerie silence.
"Do you know the story of Wagri and Hela?"
Agasa asked in a hollow voice, and Tyrion nodded, leaning back in the ice chair behind him, clasping his hands together, looking at the Shadow Angel in front of him, he coughed lightly, and told the story he remembered about Hela and Odin.
"At the moment of my death, the invisible and insubstantial death unfolded a picture before me, which I have always considered a blessing, because in that picture I saw the past and the future, even the true secrets of this world in ancient times."
"The Titans have shaped this world, and those gods who are as powerful as the stars have sown the seeds of life in this world, and that is their mission, but the Titans cannot stay in this hopeful world for a long time, and when they return again, it will be hundreds of thousands of years later, and the world has been corrupted by the forces of darkness."
"The Titans were extremely angry, their most powerful god-king reached into the sky of this world, grabbed the most powerful of the dark forces, uprooted it, the darkness died, but the world also suffered irreversible serious injuries, at that time, the Titans realized that their power was too heavy for this weak world, but the remaining darkness was still spreading, so the Titans gave their power to their creations."
"The Titan Guardians, steel beings made by the Titans themselves, they were sent to this world to carry out a mission of purification, Odin is the most brave and good at fighting, known as the chief manager, and Hela, the most powerful sea witch under Odin's command, she can use mysterious rune magic to set off the tide of the sea and drown all of Odin's enemies."
Tyrion's voice was low, hoarse, somewhat magnetic in the night wind, and the story he described made Agassa fall into memories of the past, the shadow angel in front of him who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and she was the first person Tyrion had ever seen, a true historical experiencer.
And Agasa was also surprised by Tyrion's erudition, the story Tyrion told that she had personally experienced, but many of the details were not visible to her as an ordinary sea witch, that is, Tyrion actually knew that history better than her, which made the Shadow Angel have to be surprised.
But Tyrion's story isn't over yet.
"The power of darkness is quite powerful, but the Titan Guardians have the power of the gods, they have produced powerful steel guards in the steel factory, the number is endless, under the leadership of the most brave and warlike guardians, the leaders of the darkness are uprooted one after another, and as described in all stories, in times of war, everyone works together, everyone is the best brother, but once peace comes, even the creation of the gods, there will be conflicts."
"Tens of thousands of years after the world was at peace, the order of the ancient times has been established, but the contradictions between the chief administrator Odin and the other guardians have become more and more acute, Odin knows who the real enemy of this world is, although they stay in Azeroth, but the contact with the Pantheon continues, they know that the most powerful warrior of the Pantheon, the Bronze Titan Sargeras, has rebelled, and he has formed the most terrible force of destruction in history, the Burning Legion composed of demons."
"Odin sees the future where demons will inevitably enter this world, and he is also wary of the resurgence of the darkness that has been defeated and sealed, he must prepare in advance, and at that time, the families of the guardians have spread all over the world, and Odin has chosen the heroic and powerful Iron Viku, which is also his family, he wants to collect the souls of those heroes who died in battle to make a Heroic Legion, which will be the only powerful legion that can be trusted when Ragnarok comes!"
To this end, he did not hesitate to turn against his brothers, who were addicted to peace, and with Hela's help, he cut off a part of the city from Ulduar and suspended it in the sky forever, a golden city, which he called... Valagarh, Valhalla. ”
There was a hint of yearning in Tyrion's eyes, there was no doubt that Odin's planned Immortal Legion was also the most distant future of the Darkblade Legion, and that was also the future he designed for the Darkblade... An undefeated army made up entirely of warrior spirits.
"But Odin did it the wrong way."
After Tyrion stopped, the shadow angel Agatha, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to pick up the conversation and began the rest of the story, the tragic story of the Vargri.
"My sisters and I were the most loyal sea witches under Odin's command, Hela was our eldest sister, she was very powerful, no one among the secondary guardians could resist her berserk magic, we lived in Ulduar, the home of all guardians, majestic and magnificent, a steel holy city unimaginable to mortals, it was the happiest day, we drank and fought, and at every feast, Odin himself came down and sat on the top to watch us."
"However, we did not see the increasingly gloomy thoughts in the leader's eyes."
Agasa's voice became mournful:
"One day, Odin summoned Hela, and he told Hela that he had discovered a special half-plane of this world, a part of this world that the Shadow Realm had infiltrated into this world, where there were too many confused souls, some of which he needed, and therefore, he needed some Iron Veku who were willing to die for a great cause, the purest and most determined, to become his armed handmaidens, to be his Valkyries, and to bring souls from that plane to Valhalla."
"The eldest sister agreed to his request, and the sea witches had a new mission, and we sailed through the most gloomy North Sea in the Soul Channeling Boat, entered the plane from the storm, and then returned to Valagar with the most powerful souls, and at first, all this was fine, and the journey was dangerous, but for the Iron Viku it was an adventure of courage, but soon, Odin was no longer satisfied."
The Shadow Angel's fists clenched, and it was clear that her story had reached its most important turning point.
"Odin's palace is full of powerful heroic spirits with golden bodies, but he is still not satisfied, he needs more souls, and for this, he needs messengers who can easily travel through reality and the shadow world to collect more souls for him, but the eldest sister refuses him, because Hela knows very well how painful it is to distort the souls of her fellow citizens, and this forcible conscription is also against the beliefs of the Veku people."
"On that day, the quarrel between Odin and Elder Sister Hela resounded throughout Valagarh, and all the Heroic Spirits and Sea Witches were at a loss, and no one dared to dissuade the angry Odin, he was like that, and when the sun went down, we heard the wail of the eldest sister, and that pain, we rushed away from Odin's guards and rushed into Valhalla, and we saw... See..."
Agassa's voice choked, and her mood became rather unstable, as if she had returned to that day of disaster.
"That brute! He destroyed the body of the eldest sister... Using the power bestowed upon him by our gods to protect the world, he destroyed the eldest sister's body in the thunder light, and in her wails and begs for mercy, twisted her soul into the form of Vagli... In that way, the eldest sister became the first Wagri. ”
"And then, then we... Odin tells us that it was a great promotion ceremony, and that some simple sisters accepted it, Al, that stupid bitch, and she took the rest of her sisters to volunteer to become the golden Wagri in a gesture of devotion, and we... Those of us who know the truth have been turned pale by Odin into a pale Wagri, doing the dirty work that the golden Wagri will never see. ”
"That brute! He betrayed us! ”
Agasa gritted his teeth and scolded: "He is not worthy to live in Valagarh, he is not worthy!" ”
"So Hela betrayed him with you."
Tyrion's expression became strange, he looked at Agassa, and he whispered:
"And in the most vicious way of betrayal... How long has it been since joining forces with another traitor from the Titan Guardians to trap Odin and his Legion of the Immortals in Wallagar? 100,000 years? Or longer? ”
"That's what he deserves!"
Agasa roared like a wild beast:
"After the unreserved trust was coldly betrayed, it was merciful enough that we didn't kill him!"
"But has revenge given you some comfort in your souls?"
Seeing that Agassa's emotions were out of control, a gleam flashed in Tyrion's eyes, and he asked softly:
"Free from Odin's ruthless rule, are you free? Did Hela do what she promised you? She led you to overthrow the tyrant who imprisoned you, but she became the next tyrant herself, enslaved you like Odin, and let you plunder more souls for her from reality, all for meaningless revenge? ”
"Tell me, Agatha, how does it feel to give everything for revenge? Have you ever wondered how you will continue to live after Hela's revenge is complete? Tell me, with what you know of Hela's current state, do you think she'll stop at killing Odin? Will Odin's death satisfy her? ”
"Tell me, when it's all over, will Hela be the kind and determined sea witch she used to be?"
"Hehe, you and I both know that she won't... Like you said, hatred changed her, forever... The former dragon slayer has become an evil dragon, and fate has begun to cycle again, Odin does not represent justice, but you do not represent the justice of revenge, but the destruction and darkness without a bottom line, you and him, there is no difference. ”
"Shut up! Say no more! Eldest sister... The eldest sister is just blinded by hatred! ”
Tyrion's sharp question embarrassed Agassa, and Vargri retorted with difficulty:
"She'll wake up one day!"
"Oh? Do you wake up after destroying the world with your own hands? ”
Tyrion smiled, his eyes calming:
"Besides, do you believe what you say? You know, you're lying, I can probably see it. ”
"So what?"
Annoyed, Agatha bared her teeth at Tyrion, her white hair braiding around her chest:
"My sisters and I are bound by the will of the eldest sister, and we are imprisoned in the deepest depths of the abyss of hell for eternity. We crave our freedom, just as you once longed for your... But the eldest sister won't give it to us, and she won't until her revenge is over..."
"I'm not like you, cutie."
Tyrion stood up, walked up to Agatha, put his hand on Agatha's chin, lifted her head, gently removed the helmet from her face, revealing the eyes that were not pretty, but very resolute, like warriors, he looked at those confused eyes, and he whispered:
"I never kneel to anyone and beg for my freedom... If someone takes it, I'll take it back, cutting off his hand by the way... You're at a loss right now, I can feel it, you know you're serving the darkness, but you can't get out, what you need is hope... Look at you, you're so fragile that you need hope to sustain your life..."
Tyrion kissed the Shadow Angel on the cheek, and he whispered in her ear:
"So, cutie, would you like to hear my opinion?"
"You need a vessel to bear, a man like you, a warrior in war, a strong warrior, a man who knows life and death, a man who has seen light and darkness. You need someone worthy of you, someone worthy of the power of life and death. ”
Tyrion's fingers brushed gently over Agasa's neck, and his voice became softer, like a flutter in the wind, but it fell on Agasa's ears like thunder.
"Yes! You guys..."
"Need me!"
