35. Tide of Purification - For the Seraphim Brother [10/16]
Azhara told Tyrion that Enzos had sent his most loyal subordinates to search for the three relics, intending to open the Titan's cage and summon the tide of the sea to attack the world to replenish the power of the soon-to-be-escaped Enzos.
Although Queen Aishara didn't know what the holy relics the cultists were looking for, as long as she knew the movements of those fallen creatures, it was much easier to investigate further, and after receiving the order of the High Lord, the Darkblade Intelligence Bureau immediately sent a group of Void Elf agents who were proficient in disguise and concealment, so that this group of Rondores managed to infiltrate the camp of those faceless and cultists, and in just a few days, brought back good news for the High Lord.
The three relics sought by the Elder Gods were the Void Stone from the Void, the Storm Summoner Crown from the Storm, and the Deep Sea Trident from the Ocean.
It is impossible to know when these three relics fell into Azeroth, but according to the cultists, the Void Stone is a treasure that comes directly from the Void Plane and can guide creatures who seek the power of the Void into that dangerous dimension, while the Storm Summoner Crown seems to come from the Sky Wall of the Elemental Plane, a treasure forged by the Wind Elementals, and has the power to induce the wind.
As for the last creature trident, the origin of this thing is very clear, the shape of the trident is almost exactly the same as the trident in the hands of the tide hunter Nepturon, according to the age of existence of this thing, it should be in the original heaven and earth in the elemental melee, the weapon lost by the tide hunter, it is made by the water elementals, the holder can manipulate the power of the sea.
Of course, holy relics, always this kind of divine chatter, all kinds of rumors will undoubtedly exaggerate the power of the holy relics, so that between the false rumors, a magic gem can be touted as a world-destroying artifact, but in fact, in terms of these three items alone, they are not really holy relics, because they were not born in Azeroth, so even if mortals are lucky enough to find these three things, it is impossible to exert 100% ability.
For example, the deep sea trident that was accidentally found by the undead Flynn and sent away, this thing was found by a female pirate gathered in Liberty Town more than ten years ago, and placed in the treasure house for several years, but until Tyrion's undead army destroyed and destroyed Liberty Town, the female pirate who died in the war failed to crack the secret of this trident.
Because it is impossible for mortals to use the weapons of such elemental creatures, this completely bladeless elemental weapon fell into her hands, and it is not as good as a musket, and after the destruction of the pirates of Liberty Town, this holy relic fell into the hands of the Darkblade, and was used as a collector's item by a certain death knight, if it were not for the detailed information brought back by the agents, I am afraid that this trident will never come out.
But anyway, since the thing that Enzos is looking for is in his own hands, the Great Lord personally arranged the plan and seemed much more relaxed, the "soul code" in the mind of the undead Flynn will only be triggered after being invaded by external forces and subsided, the High Lord calculated that Enzos was short of time, coupled with Flynn's modified memory, there should be a high chance that the undead Flynn could enter that plan.
Even if it's an unfortunate failure...
What is lost is just a dispensable undead.
In this kind of major event related to the direction of the world, even if it is a big lord, it cannot be decided by the private feelings of his children, and if Flynn dies in this major event, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
Anyway, the daughter of the great lord will never be wanted.
———————————————————
The Shadow Gate that Enzos tore open sent Flynn directly into a strange place.
Walking through the spatial passages filled with the power of the void was not a good experience, and even as a sense-dulled undead, Flynn felt that his shriveled body and cold soul had been torn apart by the viscous and cold power, like a poisonous snake wrapped around his body and soul, and he had to bite from time to time.
The feeling of being invaded by an external force was terrible.
Fortunately, the spatial teleportation did not last long, and just a few seconds later, the undead Flynn stepped out of the throbbing shadow passage into a land filled with scarlet water, his legs were weak, and the whole person knelt there, and when he lowered his head, he was shocked to realize that this was not land at all, and there was a platform like flesh and blood under his feet, and the twisted solid flesh had pale bone spurs, like the wriggling stomach of some terrifying creature.
The undead was frightened and immediately stood up, he looked out, this seemed to be the body of some creature, this twisted flesh and blood in this dark place suddenly reconstructed a bloody temple, in the darkness not far away, there were small tentacles like snakes surging in the darkness, the top of each tentacle, dotted with a pale eyeball, how terrifying it looked.
But his hand was still clasped at the long wooden box, and in front of him, a faceless man in a green robe, with five purple tentacles on his face, and a black iron crown, was staring at him with terrifying eyes.
The look was like a substantial shadow touch, and the face and wriggling claws that twisted into something indescribable made the undead Flynn feel fear, and he supported his body with a long wooden box, and stepped back step by step, but in the dirty blood behind him, a red faceless man wearing black shoulder armor and a black belt blocked his path.
Compared to the emaciated faceless man in front of him, the faceless man behind him was more like a monster of twisted and tense muscles, it no longer had a face in the traditional sense, replaced by an octopus-like head, its right arm like a snake's tail, and its left arm turned into three tentacles, like a void ghost claw, and between the tendrils of that face, occasionally revealing blood-red eyeballs, it stared at Flynn like staring at a piece of meaningless garbage.
"The Sleepless Secret Party has returned from the abyss, and in the shadows of the Lightless Sea, there is an illusion of the other side..."
The robed Faceless Man staggered towards the undead Flynn like a disabled person, chanting the sound of darkness in a strange voice, and in the reverberation of that voice, the undead felt as if his will was approaching the sea of darkness that appeared in the spiritual horizon, as if a terrifying singularity had appeared in his mind, frantically devouring what was left of reason.
"Enough! That's enough! ”
Flynn shouted, then shook off the wooden box in his hand, and held the trident that shone with the cold light of the deep sea, the waves of the sea echoed in his ears, and when he held the elemental weapon, he seemed to be connected to the sea, but that was all, he was an undead, he could not exert the power of this holy relic.
"Bang"
The Faceless Being, the power behind Flynn, swung his claw-like fist and slammed into the twisted flesh earth, the power of the shadows rolling in all directions, enveloping the dark place in a halo of nothingness.
"Give it to us!"
The Faceless One roared, as if it was about to pounce on Flynn in the next moment.
At this moment, a shout from the ocean caused the two faceless ones who were about to move to stop their persecution, and in the disgusting dark red water on Flynn's side, accompanied by a surge similar to the cold sea, an even more strange monster slowly rose from under the water.
Compared to the two faceless ones with twisted flesh and monotonous colors, this third messenger of the abyss looked much more "colorful".
He had a Naga-like body, but the alienated head was more like a shrunken lilac dragon head than a Naga, and on its body was attached a dark red bone plate, and at the end of that bone plate, there were blood-red eyeballs, like a terrifying scar of flesh and blood, it had a snake-like body, and two black tentacles, and its huge body swam between them, like the most terrifying monster that grew from the darkness.
"Stop! He brought the final piece of the puzzle to Enzos... He sounded the death knell for the end of this orderly world, and he deserves to be rewarded! ”
The twisted Naga monster seemed to be a Void Vanguard with a higher status than the two Facelesss, and it stared at the vigilant Flynn with its ugly eyes, and it saw the Deep Trident in Flynn's hand, the Naga smiled with satisfaction, and then said to the other two Facelesss:
"Zaxach, the loyal servant of Enzos and the spokesman of the old gods, and you, Fasou, the terrifying warrior of Enzos, remain in the crucible of this storm, and use the holy relics of the storm and the sea to present the music of destruction for the awakening of your master, who longs to see the grand scene of the collapse of order!"
"Give me the Void Stone!"
The Naga monster stretched out his left hand, and the faceless man in the robe placed a pure purple stone in his hand, and the Naga monster nodded in satisfaction:
"Very well, the final sign to open the Void Gate has fallen into our hands, and soon, this world will be swallowed by the endless Void, and then the whole star!"
As he spoke, the vicious abyss monster raised his hands, and the purple void stone was summoned to spew out purple power, enveloping the undead Flynn who was caught off guard, and the pure void power was like a wriggling swarm, rushing into his body from the skin, ears and nostrils of the undead, and in just a few seconds, the chaotic void completely filled the undead Flynn.
"This is the gift of the great master Enzos! Flynn. Favind. ”
The Void Pioneer held the Void Stone without looking back and went back into the dark and turbid blood water, its low echoing voice, and under the impact of the Void, Flynn had become delirious.
"Embrace the Void, pathetic undead."
"It will give you a new lease of life... A life blessed in the last days..."
Flynn couldn't respond, his body went on a rampage, the corrosive void spreading through the already cold veins, and even the cold heart, which had stopped beating a long time ago, was rejuvenated by the impact of this force, and every beat in Flynn's chest pushed the full force into his entire body.
Under the guidance of the void, the shriveled flesh of the undead began to undergo strange changes, tentacles, bone spurs, and even slowly dissolving eyes, noses, and mouths.
All of this is foreshadowing, Flynn . . . Favind's time as a human will come to an end in this moment, and after death, he will once again be baptized in the void and become a true monster.
The spokesperson of Enzos, Zaxach the Faceless the Spellcaster, let out a low, twisted laugh, and the robed Faceless One ignored Flynn, who had begun to be transformed by the Void, summoning the Storm Summoner Crown from the shadows, while the other Powerful Faceless, the Thriller Fasou, kicked the Void-shrouded Flynn with a brutal kick, then picked up the elemental Trident of the Deep Sea from his feet.
The two Faceless Ones climbed on the high platform shaped by flesh and blood, and the holy relics from the storm and the sea were held in their hands, and with the power of the ancient gods forcibly dominating the elements, the power of these two elemental holy relics was fully released, and the primordial power of the storm and the tide, in the terrifying laughter of the Faceless, spread out from the storm furnace under the deep sea, and for a while, with this storm furnace as the center, the induced wind and howling tide began to roll on the surface of the entire endless sea.
The Faceless Ones are finally about to offer their masters the most merciless of gifts.
They want to set off a great tsunami that will destroy the world, completely purify the flesh and blood people who are unwilling to obey Chaos, and then in this devastating tide, the Void Gate that connects the Void Plane will completely sprinkle the glory of the void to the whole world...
Yes, the end of the world they were looking forward to, the day of the catastrophe they had been planning for a long, long time, the day of destruction, was about to open the gates.
But...
What the two faceless ones didn't know was that even beneath the void cover, in the deepest part of Flynn's soul, the faint flame of thought had not been extinguished.
A faint force sheltered the flames.
That's the power that comes from death.
Flynn, whose appearance had begun to distort, also felt the presence of that weak force, and he shouted in his soul:
"They're going to make a big storm that will overwhelm everything! They're going to free Enzos! They want to open the doors of the void! Come on! Yes, there is! Come and save the world! ”
In the face of Flynn's roar, the response he received was simple, full of the usual style of the Dark Blade, and a kind of metallic sound.
"Roger! The coordinates have been confirmed! ”
