Chapter 603: It’s Time to Show The True Technique (Verbal Cannon)!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy’s eyes lit up. Alexstrasza’s seemingly venting words gave him a lot of information.

First of all, Alexstrasza knew him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have shouted his name the moment they met. But it was still unknown when she met him.

The second piece of information was about Nozdormu. Since Alexstrasza knew about Roy, Nozdormu naturally knew him too, and even Malygos knew. If this guy hadn’t been in such a muddle-headed mental state, he might have recognized Roy at first glance.

In other words, all the Aspects had probably interacted with Roy at some point.

As an outsider, Roy had interfered with the normal history of this world as soon as he entered it. He knew this long ago, and he also knew very well that Nozdormu, the Guardian of Time, would spare no effort to correct this history.

But up until Roy went from the Twisting Nether to Argus and then to Outland of Draenor, he had never come into contact with any bronze dragons of the bronze dragonflight. These protectors of time seemed to be collectively hiding from Roy, making him wonder whether Nozdormu was fulfilling his duty.

But from Alexstrasza’s casual remark, Roy realized that Nozdormu might already be working hard. He might be working hard in some place that he couldn’t see. After all, correcting the timeline didn’t necessarily require getting rid of the disruptors.

But Nozdormu was probably a little helpless against Roy. After all, he wasn’t a true titan and didn’t have Aman’Thul’s true power. So Roy estimated that his time correction ability was probably only limited to Azeroth.

If Nozdormu’s power could really interfere with the entire universe, even if Roy hadn’t followed Lilith into this world, he would have been blocked by Nozdormu in the Twisting Nether.

Moreover, Roy still had the feather that Lilith had given him, and this feather also had the power of time. Although he had yet to understand the use of this feather, with its protection, it wouldn’t be easy for Nozdormu to touch his time…

“Alexstrasza, you seem to believe in the power of Nozdormu…” Roy grinned sinisterly at the Dragonqueen. “But why are you here and not Nozdormu? Since you want to correct my timeline, shouldn’t he do it himself?”

“I won’t tell you any more information, Osiris!” A loud voice came from the dragon form of Alexstrasza. “I’m only here to save Malygos. My children are already rushing here from Wyrmrest Temple. Leave this place, Osiris. Otherwise, you will see the wrath of the red dragonflight!”

While speaking, she assumed an attack posture, but in fact, only she knew that this attack posture was only for show. Facing the King of Despair, she wasn’t confident that she could defeat him.

Damn it, it’s too rushed! Alexstrasza thought. The information Ysera gave me was too rushed. Moreover, she only said that Malygos was in danger. If I had known that it was Demon King Osiris, I would have brought more people…

Yes, unlike what Roy had guessed, it wasn’t Nozdormu who had sent the warning to Alexstrasza, but the green dragon Ysera! Perhaps she had foreseen something in the Emerald Dream, so she sent a message to Alexstrasza, hoping that she could go save Malygos. No matter what Malygos’s condition was, he was still one of the Aspects, and Alexstrasza was the closest to the Nexus.

In the end, when Alexstrasza rushed over, she realized that the seriousness of the matter was worse than she had imagined because the one who appeared in the Nexus was actually the mysterious King of Despair, Osiris.

What is that bastard Nozdormu doing?! Alexstrasza was actually full of resentment. Why did Ysera give me a warning this time? Her precognition ability is limited, making me so passive…

The arrival of Archimonde was already enough to give the Aspects a headache. Unexpectedly, Osiris also quietly descended to Azeroth. Moreover, after coming, he directly went to the Nexus.

She didn’t know what Roy wanted to do here, but no matter what, she just had to try her best to stop him.

On the platform in the Nexus, a demon and a huge red dragon were looking at each other from afar. Although there was a large difference in size between the two, the larger red dragon tightened her body and became vigilant. The smaller demon had an interested expression.

Just as Alexstrasza was hesitating about whether she should take the initiative to attack, a voice suddenly broke the silence.

“Alex… Alexstrasza?! Why are you here? What happened?”

Hearing this voice, Alexstrasza quickly looked down. As expected, it was Malygos!

“Malygos?!” Alexstrasza said in surprise. “Are you awake?”

“I… I seem to be awake?” Malygos was still at a loss. “What time is it? Is this… my lair?”

Malygos, who was in his human form, was holding his forehead with a headache. But judging from his actions and words as he turned his head to observe his surroundings in astonishment, his mind seemed to have become clearer.

“Don’t ask those things for now! Hurry up and restore your dragon form!” Alexstrasza said. “We’re facing a powerful enemy now. I need your help!”

Upon hearing what Alexstrasza said, Malygos realized that Roy was opposite him. After recognizing Roy, he quickly transformed into his dragon form. The two Aspects, one red and one blue, stood side by side and stared intently at Roy.

“Hahahaha!” Roy couldn’t help laughing loudly when he saw this scene. Then he spread his arms and said teasingly to Malygos, “You actually want to deal with me together? Malygos, have you forgotten who pulled you out of your delirium?”

These words stunned Malygos and Alexstrasza, especially Malygos. Although he was muddle-headed earlier, his memories were basically still there, so he naturally recalled the energy Roy had injected into his body when he held him just now. Although Alexstrasza had saved him in time, in fact, the energy had already entered his body, and it was under the effect of this energy that his sanity returned.

“What did you do to him?” Alexstrasza understood when she saw Malygos tilt his head and check his body. “I don’t believe you came to Azeroth from the Twisting Nether to help Malygos recover!”

“Of course I can’t be so kind!” Roy nodded and spread his hands. “I’m only here to take Malygos’s soul in advance. It’s better to let him die in my hands than to let him die in your hands. This way, it’s also an honor for him. At least Malygos dies ‘honorably in battle’!”

“What do you mean?!” Alexstrasza was shocked by Roy’s words, but after realizing what he meant, she was furious. “How dare you slander me like that?!”

Opening her mouth, Alexstrasza sprayed a torrent of flames at Roy. The overwhelming flames with extremely high temperatures violently drowned him.

This dragon breath sprayed for a full minute. When Alexstrasza finally stopped, the suffocating heat in the air gradually faded.

However, after the flames dissipated, Roy’s body appeared. He stood where he was without even moving, looking as though he had received Alexstrasza’s attack effortlessly.

“Don’t be so agitated, Ms. Dragonqueen!” Roy casually patted the flame ashes on his body and smiled. “You can think that I’m talking nonsense, but at least wait for me to finish speaking!”

“I won’t be bewitched by you, demon!” Alexstrasza gritted her teeth.

But beside her, Malygos didn’t think so. His dragon body subconsciously moved away from Alexstrasza.

“It seems that only when it involves yourself will you understand!” Roy looked at Malygos’s actions and laughed wildly. “Malygos, it looks like you’ve realized it’s indeed possible for Alexstrasza to do that!”

“You…” Alexstrasza said angrily to Malygos. “You actually suspect me?!”

“No, Alexstrasza, I’m just very confused…” Malygos hesitated for a moment. “After all, during my delirious days, I imprisoned Keristrasza, one of your servants. I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. Perhaps I wanted her to become my new consort… I don’t know if you will blame me for this ridiculous matter…”

Yes, Malygos had indeed done such a thing. He had imprisoned one of Alexstrasza’s servants. This red dragon named Keristrasza hated Malygos to the core. When Roy and the others entered the Nexus, Keristrasza was one of the guards of the Nexus, but after seeing Roy and his group, this red dragon actually flew away…

“Let’s talk about those things later!” Alexstrasza gritted her teeth. “Don’t tell me you’re so stupid that you think I’ll seek revenge on you in front of a demon?”

But before Malygos could answer, Roy said, “Don’t doubt it, Malygos. Because you’ll really die in Alexstrasza’s hands in the future…”

Then Roy looked at Alexstrasza. “Dragonqueen, perhaps you appeared here because of Nozdormu’s warning and planned to stop me. But haven’t you thought about one thing? Why didn’t Nozdormu appear personally?”

Alexstrasza was stunned for a moment. Roy’s words hit the nail on the head. Although she had actually come because of Ysera’s warning, she had thought about why Nozdormu hadn’t told her.

Nozdormu was the true prophet among the Aspects. As the Guardian of Time, nothing could escape his eyes. Logically speaking, he should have been the one to warn her, but he was missing.

“Because Nozdormu knows very well that Malygos will definitely die!” Roy explained her doubts. “Even if you stop me now, in the near future, Malygos will die in your hands. He will be personally killed by you, his ‘comrades’!”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Alexstrasza roared.

Roy shook his head. “Alexstrasza, I’ve always found something very strange. Nozdormu is the Guardian of Time. Do you think that everything he does is right and is protecting the time and history of Azeroth?”

“Of course!” Alexstrasza growled. “He is our brother. We have never doubted him! And Nozdormu has been fulfilling his duties conscientiously!”

“Heh, brother?” Roy mocked. “Neltharion was also your brother. Didn’t he deceive you?”

Alexstrasza was at a loss for words and couldn’t refute him. Beside her, Malygos’s eyes were full of flames of anger. When he heard the name Neltharion, he recalled the painful experience that had happened to him.

Subconsciously, Malygos was convinced by Roy. Can I really always trust my ‘brothers and sisters’?

But Roy didn’t stop and continued, “If you think that Nozdormu’s actions to maintain the timeline are right, then answer me. Malygos, why didn’t he foresee Neltharion’s fall and give you a warning so that you could avoid the pain of losing your consort and children? Also, Alexstrasza, why didn’t he warn you about the Dragonmaw clan enslaving you?”

While speaking, Roy stepped forward and spread his hands. “Could it be that the tragedies of history really can’t be changed? Must you experience them in order to maintain the so-called correctness of history?”

Malygos was silent…

Malygos thought of his consort Sindragosa, who had died tragically. When he heard that she couldn’t even fly back to Wyrmrest Temple for burial and had died in the wilderness, the grief in his heart was indescribable. For this matter, his hatred for Neltharion was like an endless ocean. Even when he was crazy, he wanted to tear Neltharion into pieces.

After hearing what Roy said, Malygos couldn’t help wondering if Nozdormu knew that this tragedy would happen to him and didn’t remind him. If he really wanted to maintain the correct history and left it alone…

Is the correctness of history really necessary? Is it so necessary that I had to sacrifice my consort and children? Is this correctness of history what I want?

Malygos was lost in thought, and so was Alexstrasza.

In the Second War, the orcish Dragonmaw clan had found the artifact the Dragon Soul from somewhere. Relying on its power against Aspects, the Dragonmaw clan had enslaved Alexstrasza and then forced her to mate continuously with her consort Tyranastrasz to lay dragon eggs. After these dragon eggs hatched, they had provided the Dragonmaw clan with a large number of red dragons as mounts, allowing the Dragonmaw clan to occupy a large advantage in the war.

This matter was simply the greatest humiliation of Alexstrasza’s life. Tyranastrasz had even died from excessive mating.

Her consort died, and her children had no choice but to endure the enslavement of the orcs in order to save her. They humbled themselves and reduced themselves to being mounts for the orcs to beat and scold at will. This experience was the darkest moment in her life.

Although she had been rescued, and this experience had become a thing of the past, buried deep in her heart, she didn’t even dare to recall it. But now, because of Roy’s words, this scar was bloody again, making her so painful that she forgot to even breathe.

Under Roy’s inducement, Alexstrasza couldn’t help thinking, Yes, Nozdormu should have seen this history, but why didn’t he remind me to be careful? Does this tragedy have to happen to me to maintain the so-called correctness of history?

The scene was silent. Roy didn’t disturb them and let them continue immersing themselves in their memories.

After a long time, he finally said, “I’m not saying this to bewitch you! In fact, I prefer to speak with my strength. I’m just reminding you because I know a demon as powerful as Sargeras. She’s a true controller of time. She once told me that the power of time is a very special power. When you overuse it, you will also suffer the backlash of time!”

“What do you mean?” Alexstrasza had a bad feeling from what Roy said.

“What I want to say is that although Nozdormu is the Guardian of Time, his power was bestowed upon him! It’s not that he was born knowing how to control this power!” Roy explained. “Therefore, I have reason to doubt if he really knows how to use the power of time. If he uses the power of time too much without knowing how to control it, it will cause serious consequences. When countless timelines are mixed together, can he really distinguish which one is the true correct timeline?”

When Alexstrasza and Malygos heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Alexstrasza was fine, but Malygos roared, “You’re saying that the tragic deaths of my consort and children might not be the correct timeline?!”

“Why not?” Roy spread his hands. “You have to understand that even Neltharion might have been bewitched by the Old Gods. Why can’t Nozdormu become chaotic because he overused the power of time? He might not have fallen, but he might have suffered a backlash from the power of time! After all, you Aspects aren’t invincible. You have too many weaknesses…”

Malygos already believed Roy’s words and paced back and forth, looking distraught. The Nexus platform trembled under his heavy body.

“Calm down, Malygos!” Alexstrasza said. She was relatively calm. “No matter what, Osiris is a demon. Even if his words have logic, you can’t believe him!”

“Of course. I know that my words as a demon aren’t very persuasive to you!” Roy smiled. “It’s not a problem for you to treat it as sowing discord. You can go confront Nozdormu. Perhaps he’s indeed right. As long as you’re willing to believe in the so-called fate, it’s up to you. But Malygos, I still have to take your soul away because I really don’t want to wait until you’re personally killed by Alexstrasza to make another trip.”

“No, no one can take my soul!” Malygos roared, his eyes red. “Whether it’s you, a demon, or my comrades, no one can decide my life and death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his blue body instantly lit up with a dazzling, pure, and vast blue light. The next second, Malygos attacked!

With an Elemental Blast in one hand, Malygos released all the powerful magic power energy gathered in his body. The devastating Elemental Blast not only struck Roy but also included Alexstrasza beside him.

“Malygos, are you crazy?!” Alexstrasza shouted angrily as she condensed a Fire Shield to protect herself. “How dare you attack me?! Don’t you even believe me?”

“I won’t believe anyone anymore! Not even my comrades!” Malygos roared in a gloomy tone. “This is the Nexus, my territory. Everyone here today must die!”

With the mobilization of Malygos’s magic power, the intangible torrents in this node space were also moving restlessly. Even without the Focusing Iris, Malygos could still extract the magic power energy in the node. In this space, he was indeed very powerful.

All kinds of elemental spells and arcane attacks were at Malygos’s fingertips as he bombarded Roy and Alexstrasza. Roy was fine, but Alexstrasza looked very disheveled. In terms of magic power, she was indeed far inferior to Malygos.

This can’t go on. I need help! Why isn’t the red dragonflight here yet?! Alexstrasza was burning with anxiety.

What she didn’t know was that the red dragonflight had already arrived. But outside, Julia and Benia were blocking the red dragons with Rafaro and Fat Tiger. In terms of strength, they could almost be regarded as four demon lords. With such powerful strength, even the red dragonflight found it difficult to break through in a short time.

“Die! Die!” Malygos’s crazy roar echoed in the node space. Just the sound alone made people suspect that he had entered a state of madness again.

Alexstrasza had strong life force, so she could recover from any serious injuries. But she was very aggrieved to be beaten without being able to fight back, so she transferred her anger to Roy.

“It’s all your fault!” she roared as she spread her wings and pounced at Roy. “You bewitched Malygos!”

Roy didn’t indulge her this time. He dodged her bite and punched her dragon cheek from the side. The powerful force sent her flying, and then she was hit by Malygos’s magic attack halfway, causing her to scream.

“Dragonqueen!” Roy floated in the air, and his wings turned into wings of mist that covered the sky. Chaos power was rising all over his body, making his posture look exceptionally terrifying and strange. He sneered. “Have you thought about it? I can clearly defeat you with my strength, so why did I communicate with you first? I just feel that you’ve been deceived again. Don’t push everything onto demons. I won’t take the blame!”

With that, Roy ignored Alexstrasza and said to Malygos, who was still flipping out, “Malygos, come and make a deal with me. I can let you see your consort again. The price is your soul! Are you willing?!”

“What?!” Malygos stopped attacking. He was in a daze and in disbelief. “You can let me see Sindragosa again?”

Roy nodded. He looked at Alexstrasza, who was panting on the floor, and said teasingly, “You should know where Sindragosa’s corpse is, right? Although I find it strange that the so-called Life-Binder doesn’t help you resurrect your consort, it doesn’t matter. The power of life might not be able to let you see your consort again, but the power of death can! How about it? Are you willing to enter into a contract with me, Malygos?”

“I’m willing!” Malygos replied before Alexstrasza could intervene.

In fact, Malygos was not someone strong-willed to begin with. Although he was an Aspect, it was obvious that the titans hadn’t understood his nature when they chose him. If he really had a strong will, he wouldn’t have sunk into oblivion for so long because of the pain of his consort’s death. So when Roy proposed this deal, he didn’t care about anything else and directly agreed.

Although Roy could also obtain Malygos’s soul by killing him, he thought about it and decided to take his soul through a contract.

Be it Malygos, Nozdormu, or Alexstrasza, these Aspects had immense influence in the world of Azeroth, and they might pose a considerable obstacle to Roy in the future, so everything he did today was to bury a nail in the Aspects.

After today’s incident, distrust for Nozdormu had been planted in Alexstrasza’s heart. This would be of great help in dismantling the power of Wyrmrest Temple.

“Very good. Come, sign this contract, and our deal will be fulfilled!” Roy grinned sinisterly as he condensed a contract in front of Malygos.

After seeing the contract, Malygos hesitated. After all, he was lucid at this time, so he remembered his duty as an Aspect and was struggling internally.

“Think about Neltharion!” Roy spoke again. “He’s also an Aspect, but he’s already abandoned his duties. Even he can do it, so why can’t you? Throw away those damn duties, and you’ll have a chance to see your consort and avenge her!”

“Neltharion!!!” Malygos gnashed his teeth as he said this name. Then he pressed his foreleg on the contract without hesitation!

It’s over. Alexstrasza couldn’t help closing her eyes when she saw this scene.

She knew that Malygos had been completely bewitched, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered what Roy had said earlier. He said that she would personally kill Malygos in the future. Is it because of this reason? Will I kill Malygos personally because of his fall?

Such a terrifying future made Alexstrasza shudder…

After signing the contract, Roy stretched out his hand, and Malygos’s colossal body flew toward him involuntarily.

“Let’s go deal with the red dragonflight outside first!” Roy said with a sinister smile.

Hearing this, Alexstrasza was startled and quickly sent a thought to the red dragons outside to get them to retreat quickly. The Nexus had completely lost control…
