Of course, Roy found it interesting. In fact, ever since he inexplicably came to this universe and had the identity of one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, he had already realized that he was probably involved in a time flux.
Moreover, it wasn’t a simple time flux. The history of this world seemed to have undergone some changes because of his interference.
In the beginning, Roy had always thought that Nozdormu, the bronze dragonflight leader who protected the dragons, had done something to him because Nozdormu had always been dedicated to maintaining the time axis and history axis of the entire world so that there wouldn’t be any huge deviations. An intruding outsider like Roy would definitely cause history to deviate, so Nozdormu had a reason to attack him.
However, as Roy thought deeper about it, he discovered a paradox: If Nozdormu had caused him to be involved in a time flux, then the history of this world should have been corrected. But the Burning Legion still had him, the third commander who didn’t exist in the original history.
Of course, Roy might be able to attribute the failure of the historical correction to the feather that Lilith had given him. This feather contained her power of time, and perhaps the existence of this feather had allowed him to escape this correction.
So, here comes the question. If Roy could break away from the power of time to correct history, then it was impossible for Nozdormu, the guardian roaming the River of Time, not to know this. Since he knew that he couldn’t correct Roy, this bug, why did he still attack him?
If it wasn’t Nozdormu who attacked, then who was it? The Highfather of the Pantheon, Aman’Thul?
All kinds of convoluted guesses made Roy’s head hurt, but he was certain of one thing. If he was really swept into a time flux, a certain scene would definitely happen in the following days.
Roy knew very well that he would return to the past, but he still didn’t know what he had done or who he had met in the past. He came here to find Shattrath City because he recalled that it was a gathering point of the draenei survivors here. These draenei would become enemies of the Burning Legion in the future. Since Roy had made up his mind to help Sargeras, there was naturally no need to let the draenei go.
However, what Roy didn’t expect was that Velen, the prophet of the draenei, had seen him and even tried to communicate with him. And he seemed to be certain that he would be able to resolve the disaster that the draenei were about to face with words.
Everyprophet and seer who can overlook the River of Time is worthy of respect! Roy recalled the scene when he met Lilith. He stepped forward, came in front of Velen, and looked down at him. “Since you’ve appeared in front of me, it means that you have seen the scene of Shattrath City not being destroyed by me, right? But this also means that in the subsequent exchanges with me, you said something that I’m interested in, right?”
“Yes, Lord Osiris!” A faint shimmering light gradually appeared in Velen’s eyes.
“In fact, the future I foresee isn’t certain. The destruction and preservation of Shattrath are both within your thoughts, just like how you let us draenei leave...
“Oh?” Roy’s interest was piqued. “I let you go? You mean...”
“It was when I escaped from Argus with my people!” Velen explained. “Archimonde and Kil’jaeden fell under the temptation of Sargeras, and I alone was powerless to resist the Burning Legion, so I could only escape from Argus. At that time, the Burning Legion’s army was surrounding the space outside
Argus, and the escape route I chose naturally avoided Archimonde and
Kil’jaeden...”
“Was I stationed on the route you chose?” Roy understood.
Velen nodded. “Archimonde and Kil’jaeden are my compatriots, but it’s precisely because they’re my compatriots that I can’t forgive their betrayal. On the other hand, Lord Osiris, you aren’t an eredar. We could only bet that you wouldn’t kill us all.’
“Then, it seems like you made the right bet!” Roy nodded. “I let you go.”
“In addition, there’s another reason...” Velen seemed to recall the situation back then and sighed. “In the entire Burning Legion, you’re probably the only existence who hasn’t used fel energy..
Roy finally understood that Velen’s last sentence was the most important. He didn’t use fel energy...
Unlike the worlds that Roy had been to before, the schools of magic in this universe were divided into seven types—arcane, frost, fire, holy, shadow, nature, and fel. Needless to say, frost, fire, holy, and shadow were the same as water, fire, light, and dark in other worlds. But the two powers of nature and arcane seemed to be composite powers produced by blending together other elements. As for the final fel energy, it was what Roy found the most incredible.
During his stay on Argus, he had studied the power of fel energy with Julia and Benia when he had nothing to do. In the end, he finally discovered that this power was not a single elemental power nor a composite elemental power but a variant power similar to a mutation!
From fel energy, you could see all the properties of the elements. For example, the external manifestations of fel energy could emit light and heat like flames, or it could be as cold and gloomy as ice. It had the corrosive ability of the dark element and could even contaminate Holy Light.
It had the characteristics of all the elements, but fel energy didn’t belong to any elemental power. After Roy, Julia, and Benia researched it for a while, they came to a general conclusion. Perhaps fel energy was the mutated power caused by the corrosion and contamination of the basic elements of this universe by the Void!
This universe was special. What was special was that a large-scale Void leak had occurred. At the beginning of the Big Bang, the collision of light and shadow was too intense, and the powerful force tore open the boundary of the Void, causing the birth of the Twisting Nether. It could be said that because of the existence of the Twisting Nether, every corner of this universe was more or less contaminated by the Void, and the basic elements were no exception. And the so-called fel energy was the magic school created by extracting all the contaminated and mutated elements. It even had many negative emotional powers mixed in it.
Sargeras might not be the first person in this universe to use fel energy, but he was definitely the first person to use this power on a large scale. Under his influence, the entire Burning Legion was using fel energy without restraint. The more they used it, the more the negative corrosion in the fel energy would corrode the user.
This was also why the demons of the Burning Legion were bloodthirsty and evil in the eyes of the world.
Of course, Roy could also use this fel energy, but he didn’t use it because he had his Void Form. Coupled with the Void Angel Auriel on his shoulder, he could directly use the stronger Void power, so fel energy couldn’t actually improve him much.
Not using fel energy made Roy become an anomaly in the Burning Legion. But this also meant that he was the most rational commander in the entire Burning Legion...
When Velen escaped from Argus with his people, he chose to break out where Roy was stationed because of this.
However, after hearing what Velen said, Roy had another question. If Velen had escaped from his position, wouldn’t Sargeras have been furious?
“It’s been so long that I can’t remember clearly.” Roy rubbed his chin and asked Velen, “How did I let you go? Did I fight you?”
Velen was stunned by his question and was a little unsure of Roy’s expression, but he still replied, “When Argus fell and I fled with my people, another force chose to help us. They call themselves the naaru and possess powerful Holy Light power. When we broke through your defense line, we wanted to persuade you to let us go, but you just waved your hand and told us draenei to get lost quickly. Then you directly found the naaru and fought fiercely with them... I am ashamed to say that in order to save my people, I could only abandon the naaru who helped me. I heard that you caught them in the end...”
Hearing this, Roy was dumbfounded. What the hell? Is this how the draenei escaped from my defense line?!
Roy raised his hand and looked at his claws. No wonder Sargeras wasn’t angry with him after he appeared. To the Burning Legion, the draenei refugees led by Velen were not as important as the naaru. The naaru had been contacting the races resisting the Burning Legion all over the universe to form the Army of the Light to fight the Burning Legion. This had long annoyed Sargeras. Capturing a group of naaru was definitely more important than capturing the draenei.
Roy looked at Velen with a strange expression. He naturally understood his idea of wanting to capture the naaru. In fact, he came to Shattrath City to see if A’dal of the naaru was also in this city. He was very curious about Holy Light beings like the naaru and wanted to study what connection they had with angels. But he didn’t expect to hear such explosive news after seeing Velen and the draenei.
In other words, in order to protect his people, Velen had no choice but to abandon the naaru who saved him? Damn, after he did this, will the draenei still be able to obtain the protection of the naaru in the future? Will the Holy Light still become the faith of the draenei?
Also, do you think I’m a demon that you can communicate with just because I let the draenei go to go capture naaru?
“Prophet Velen, aren’t you being a little arbitrary?” Roy asked with a faint smile.
He felt that Velen was a little mentally challenged, but what he didn’t expect was that Velen smiled easily and reached out to stroke his fleshy beard. The light in his eyes became brighter as he said, “Lord Osiris, I know what you want to say, but... how do you know if what I’m doing won’t bring greater help to the future fate of the draenei?”
Roy was at a loss for words. He remembered Velen’s status as a prophet.
Leaving the naaru and fleeing with his people... As a prophet, it was impossible for Velen not to Imow how this would affect the future of the draenei, but he still did it, which meant that his actions were in line with his expectations.
Looking at Velen’s mysterious smile, Roy had the same feeling as when he faced Lilith. Therefore, beings like prophets and seers shouldn’t exist. They were really too annoying...
“You don’t look like you regret abandoning the naaru...” Roy pondered. “So, the naaru forgave you and the draenei... Did they contact you again?”
“Yes, the benevolent and kind naaru didn’t give up on the draenei!” Velen admitted openly. “Not only have they contacted us, but there’s also a naaru in Shattrath City now. He’s Lord A’dal, and we rebuilt Shattrath City with his help... But he ordered that if you need him, Lord Osiris, you can take him away!”
Hearing this, Roy was completely at a loss...
