Azeroth, Eastern Kingdoms, Deadwind Pass, Karazhan.
On the top of the mage tower shrouded in dark clouds and fog, in a withered and broken space, Nozdormu, the Timeless One, was confronting Murozond, the Lord of the Infinite.
When Murozond saw that his plan had failed because of Nozdormu’s interference and that he couldn’t send Osiris, the King of Despair, to the end of time as he wished, he roared angrily, “No! Nozdormu, why are you doing this?! Because of your interference, the King of Despair will appear in history, and you and I will die because of his existence! Why aren’t you maintaining your damn sacred timeline at this time?!”
Facing the furious Murozond, Nozdormu remained calm. “Because this is fate, Murozond... After becoming the Guardian of Time, I have always been avoiding the destruction of Azeroth. But the more I interfere with time, the more I fall into chaos. Eventually, it led to your birth... And your birth also gave rise to the possibility of Azeroth’s end. Because of your appearance, it’s meaningless to maintain the sacred timeline... If I can’t stop the worst possibility from happening, then I might as well let it develop toward the good possibilities as much as possible.”
Nozdormu looked at Murozond sincerely. “I’m tired! Murozond, I finally understand why Neltharion fell. I’m no longer able to shoulder the heavy burden that the titans gave me. But before I step down, I have to solve the mistake that happened because of me... That’s you, Murozond!”
“Ridiculous!” A mocking light flashed in Murozond’s dark dragon eyes. “You can’t kill yourself, and you can’t kill me either! We are one!”
“Yes, I can’t commit suicide, but...” Nozdormu looked behind Murozond. “He can!”
Hearing this, Murozond turned around and saw three figures suddenly appear in the chaotic spacetime!
These three figures were Roy, Julia, and Benia. When the scene in front of them suddenly changed, the first thing they saw was Nozdormu and Murozond in their confrontation, stunning them.
Their experience of traveling through time had taken a long time. Although Roy and the others had not truly experienced more than 20,000 years step by step because of the time jumps, hundreds of years had still passed for them during the several time nodes. So when they finished the time loop and returned, their memories of the initial scenes of time travel were already a little blurry.
But this blurriness only lasted for a short moment. After seeing Nozdormu and Murozond, Roy immediately understood.
Time was so magical. Even though they had been wandering in history for so long, they had only disappeared for a few seconds from Karazhan. They had left a few seconds ago and returned a few seconds later. This speed was so fast that even the two culprits had not been able to leave the crime scene!
So after Roy reacted, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Murozond. He stretched out his demon claws and pinched Murozond’s neck.
“Ha! Murozond, you didn’t expect me to come back so quickly, did you?” Roy pinched Murozond as though he were pinching a chicken and pulled him closer.
“No, I thought of it! But so what if you’ve come back?” Murozond didn’t panic. As a controller of time, he had a brilliant understanding of time. He had already expected the possibility of Osiris successfully ending the time loop and returning. So while replying, he set off a spacetime storm beside Roy!
With the appearance of the spacetime storm, the already chaotic spacetime around them became even more chaotic and strange. The objects floating in space alternated between recovery and decomposition, flickering irregularly. A blurry vortex visible to the naked eye appeared and surrounded Roy and Murozond.
As a controller of time, Murozond naturally wasn’t afraid of the spacetime storm, but he knew that the King of Despair didn’t have the power of time and would definitely be swept into the storm. He was full of confidence.
However, the stirring vortex lasted for a long time, but Roy, who was holding his neck, didn’t disappear because of this. He just looked at Murozond with a grin and let him do whatever he wanted.
Murozond: “???”
What’s going on?!?Murozond was confused. This place was the most fragile spacetime node in all of Azeroth. With the advantage of the node, he had clearly easily sent Osiris into the spacetime flux just now. Why was it suddenly not working?!
Pinching Murozond’s neck, Roy’s sharp nails exerted a slight force and smoothly penetrated his dragon scale protection, piercing bloody holes in his neck. Looking at his dragon blood flowing out, Roy said happily, “Idiot! Do you think I would be unprepared after spending so long in history? The reason why you succeeded last time was not only because I was unprepared but also because I wasn’t strong enough and could be displaced by you. But now, you no longer have this possibility!”
Julia and Benia were watching the show with smiles on their faces, but they were staring at Nozdormu from the corner of their eyes. Although Murozond was the culprit, he and Nozdormu were one and the same, so they couldn’t let him go either.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Murozond roared angrily. “The spacetime flux will cause you to jump to different time nodes. Although you appeared in history, you definitely wouldn’t spend much time. Under such circumstances, how much can your strength increase?! How can I not displace you?”
When Nozdormu heard this, his eyes flickered. He actually had the same doubts. He knew very well that Osiris was only a demon and not a powerful existence with extraordinary talents like the titans. Although demons would also increase their strength over time, this growth was much slower than that of the titans. Nozdormu didn’t believe that a short journey through the spacetime flux would increase Osiris’s strength to the point of being difficult to displace.
Murozond was using the power of spacetime to displace Osiris! The power of time was so powerful that unless he faced an existence hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than him, he could manipulate everything with his time power.
How could a short journey through time make Osiris so powerful?
But no matter how baffled Murozond and Nozdormu were, things still happened. How could they have thought that the Roy who had left a few seconds ago had only been at the demon king level, but the Roy who returned a few seconds later was already an existence on the same level as the Dark Titan? In other words, Roy was at the same level as the titan who had bestowed the power of the Guardian of Time to Nozdormu. He was at the same level as Aman’Thul! How could the bestowed have the power to manipulate the bestower?
Not to mention, when Roy saw the two dragons of time after returning, he instantly defined a new attribute for himself in the system.
Time Anchor: Anchor the current time point according to the user’s wishes. After anchoring, the user will no longer be disturbed by any external time power.
In other words, after possessing this attribute, let alone Nozdormu and Murozond, even the world-soul titan Aman’Thul, the Highfather of the Pantheon, wouldn’t be able to manipulate the spacetime Roy was in. As long as Roy was unwilling, he would never be affected by any external time power.
“Nothing is impossible!” Roy grinned sinisterly at Murozond. “Time vermin, don’t use your ridiculous worldview to question a demon who can travel between worlds! Now, die, little bug!”
With a crack, Roy exerted strength in his hand. Under his unparalleled strength, he crushed Murozond’s neck. His bones, flesh, and blood were crushed into paste, causing his entire head and severed neck to fall. With disbelief in his eyes, he fell into the spacetime storm and disappeared.
However, after Murozond died, the remaining body in Roy’s hand slowly disappeared like a bubble.
Seeing this, Roy was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood and turned to look at Nozdormu.
As expected, Nozdormu sighed. “You only killed the Murozond who exists at this point in time...”
“That’s why I hate space and time controllers!” Roy grinned ferociously and hooked his finger at Nozdormu. His Psychokinesis was so immense that Nozdormu couldn’t resist it at all and was easily pulled over. After Nozdormu arrived in front of him, Roy stretched out his claws and grabbed his head.
At this moment, Nozdormu was in his bronze dragon form because of his confrontation with Murozond and the possibility of a battle. After Roy grabbed his head, he suddenly realized that Osiris had changed drastically compared to before. His demon body was clearly much taller than before he had been swept into the spacetime flux!
Nozdormu had some understanding of demons. This was indeed a symbol of increased strength. The stronger an existence was, the bigger they would grow. But demons were not titans, and their size and strength might not be proportionate.
He asked Roy in surprise, “How much has your strength increased? Did it increase your body size to this extent?”
“Guess?” Roy grinned. “Although I’m very grateful that you helped me in the spacetime flux, you’re the source of Murozond. Only when you die will he disappear, so I’m sorry!”
Nozdormu closed his eyes. He was already aware of this. “You’re right. Only when I die will Murozond completely disappear, and the final timeline caused by him will also disappear... Do it, Osiris! I hope the next Guardian of Time who inherits my power won’t make the same mistake as me...”
Yes, the power of the Guardian of Time bestowed by the titans would not disappear after the Guardian died, but there would be successors to inherit it. Including Malygos, whom Roy had transformed into a dragon lich, his Guardian power would also be inherited by a new blue dragon. This was the real reason why Nozdormu could die in peace. He had already seen the future of his death in Roy’s hands, but as long as he could resolve the mistake that was Murozond, he could accept it.
But at this moment, Roy’s expression suddenly changed as he found that the Movement to the End of Reincarnation was taking effect!
This place was Karazhan, a weak point in spacetime. In other words, the world will of Azeroth didn’t have a strong presence here, and this place was a relatively special space. It was fine when Roy just returned from the spacetime flux, but when he killed Murozond just now, his aura of power leaked out. This was equivalent to interacting with the time in the outside world. While allowing the Movement to the End of Reincarnation to take effect, his existence was also sensed by the world will of Azeroth.
The next second, based on the powerful force contained in Roy’s body, the planetary shield automatically operated and directly repelled him.
Therefore, before he could even say anything to Julia and Benia, he suddenly disappeared and took Nozdormu with him.
When he reappeared, Roy had already been thrown into outer space outside Azeroth. Then before he could react, the power in his body began to expand rapidly...
