Chapter 598: The Heart of the Dark Spawn
The Darkspawn's IQ is flawed - under the erosion of the Void, the Darkspawn is in a state of "gradual decline in IQ".
Before becoming the Darkspawn, these Ascended were dragons and phoenixes among men, and they were far superior to mortals in terms of wisdom and strength, but after becoming the Darkspawn, they were in a slow, gradual process of becoming stupid.
The Void devours everything, and wisdom and memory are included.
In this case, they can gradually become impulsive and stupid, and even make some strange and seemingly abnormal decisions.
During his brief period of sobriety, Aatrox longed to break free from this control—but the time of sobriety was so short that he might fall into madness again in the next second, and then forget all about the methods he had been given.
Even Aatrox listened to Lisandro's plan because Lisandro's ice could help him keep his sanity while at the Frostguard Fortress.
But when it came to giving Tedamir the seed of power, Aatrox was very conscious.
This is the best strategy that a sober Aatrox can give.
Pin your hopes on a mortal, while it may sound a bit humiliating, but as an experienced experience of the Battle of Acacia, Aatrox is more qualified than anyone else to judge mortals.
A mortal here is a person who "derives all his strength from his own training and does not accept any gifts from transcendents" – yes, Jax.
The Darkspawn has become impulsive and irritable under the erosion of the Void, but one of the mortals has been able to maintain his sanity, which gives Aatrox hope in a way.
After the Battle of Acacia, Jax had been incognito, and Aatrox didn't know that there was such a person—but after Jax left Acacia in order to find a helper to suppress the Void, and deliberately made a name for himself along the way, Aatrox also knew that there was such a mortal.
In Jax's body, Aatrox saw the possibility of escaping the void.
So, after Jax left Acacia, Aatrox also left Acacia.
And this time, Aatrox has a brand new plan for himself.
First of all, you will lose your mind, so this plan needs to be in line with the instinct after losing your mind - the more bloodthirsty the better, the more violent the better.
Second, the plan is to harness the power of mortals to "replace" them in the tasks they need to accomplish when they lose their minds.
Finally, you need to be able to take everything that this mortal has done for yourself.
With the above in mind, Aatrox developed a plan that ...... "very creative and constructive".
Aatrox could not avoid the erosion of the Void, so he wanted to find someone to replace him, this person should be strong and powerful, and then he would mobilize his desire for power, and then give him a part of his own power.
Aatrox's power is accompanied by the will of the void, and once the person who has accepted Aatrox's power uses this power, the result is to sink deeper and deeper.
For this man, Aatrox's power is a seed, and the power of the Void is the shell of this seed, and if he wants to truly use Aatrox's power, he has the ability to fight against the Void's will.
There is no doubt that this is a test.
In his sobriety, Aatrox accomplished his plan - he found Tydamir, one of the most powerful (and strong) of Freljord, and then killed his entire clan in front of him, leaving behind the seeds of his own power.
If Tedamir wanted to harness the power left behind by Aatrox, he would need to break the Void's will first.
In his original fate, Tedamir would fight alongside Ash, and then with the help of Avarosa's Bow, he would gradually suppress the irritability in his body and gain relatively pure power that belonged to the Ascended.
But this time, the unexpected sword confrontation caused Tydamir to break the shell of the Aatrox seed without knowing it, and if it weren't for Cana's action at the critical moment, I'm afraid Ash would even be killed!
And Aatrox was on the Frostguard Fortress, and after noticing that the seed he left behind had burst out of his shell, he immediately picked up the greatsword and was about to leave to find Aatrox - don't forget, Aatrox is the main body of this greatsword, if Aatrox can get Tedamir to pick up this sword...... That means that Tedamir will become Aatrox's host, and Aatrox can then use Tedamir's will to suppress the Void and achieve a subtle symbiosis.
As for Tedamir......
Anyway, mortal life is limited, and when this guy dies, Aatrox will be completely free!
Anyway, the purpose of helping Lisandro is only to keep sanity with the help of the seal in the Frostguard Fortress, and if there is a chance to eradicate the aftermath completely, Aatrox doesn't mind breaking his agreement with Lisandro at all—after being pitted by the Twilight Star Spirit once, Aatrox doesn't care about the so-called pact anymore.
Conventions...... How much is this thing worth?
And in order to prevent himself from losing his mind on the way to find Tedamir, Aatrox even quietly took away several ownerless ice weapons in the Frostguard Fortress.
Frost Ice is a special creation of Freljord, they are extremely hard, extremely resistant to magic, and can cause severe freezing at the slightest contact, so no one can use it except for the cold temperature resistant Ice Bloodline.
(Remember the troll who made the bet with Orn, who relied on Zhen Ice for cheating, and Zhen Ice also had the magical function of melting into water ten thousand times its volume once it melted?) )
These Ice Weapons are the strongest weapons that the Ice Bloodline can use, they can unleash the most powerful power of the Ice Bloodline, and they are one of the most advantageous safeguards for Lissandra when preparing to face the Void.
As for why Aatrox was able to get his hands on these weapons so easily, and no one was able to find out......
The reason is also simple - all the people who discovered Aatrox died.
Taking advantage of Lisandro's retreat, Aatrox sneaked out of the Frostguard Fortress.
After leaving the Frostguard Fortress, Aatrox clearly felt the revival of the Void Will, so he decisively chose two forks from the Ice Weapons he had snatched, and plunged them into his chest, one left and one right.
The indescribable low temperature of Zhenbing made Aatrox's movement a little sluggish, but this cold feeling made Aatrox, who was tormented by the will of the void, unexpectedly feel his heart flying.
"Hmm, calm down......"
It's a pity that Aatrox didn't know that although his plan was very good, due to a series of inconsistencies, Tydamir's seed matured early......
