After reading the memories, Roy threw Velen to the floor.

Velen panted heavily. Roy’s method of forcibly reading his memories was damaging to his mind. Even though Velen had a lot of magic power and a strong will, he still suffered immense pressure. It felt as if there were hundreds of bells ringing in his head.

While gasping for breath, Velen looked at the King of Despair in horror. He really couldn’t understand why he was still so defenseless when facing Osiris.

Velen’s strength had improved greatly over the years. Although it was questionable if he really believed in the Holy Light in his heart, it was undeniable that the Holy Light had indeed bestowed upon him the power of revenge. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Kil’jaeden in their battle.

In Velen’s impression, Osiris, one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, should have about the same strength as Kil’jaeden. Even if he was stronger, it should be limited. But when he really faced Osiris, he realized that his previous impressions were all wrong.

What surprised Velen even more was that he had never seen Osiris appear at this moment in scenes of the future!

Not only him, but even Aman’Thul, the Highfather, had never foreseen this scene…

There was only one possibility—Osiris’s power far exceeded their imagination and understanding. Therefore, neither Velen nor Aman’Thul could see any future scenes about Osiris.

Velen had a vague guess in his heart, so he looked at Roy with a surprised expression. He hesitated about whether to resist Osiris.

Roy didn’t care about Velen’s inner thoughts. He rubbed his chin and thought for a while before asking, “When you first saw me in Outland, you took the initiative to ask me to take away the naaru A’dal because you had already discussed the matter with it, right?”

“I don’t understand what you mean…” Velen explained. “That was just a compromise to prevent you from attacking the draenei city…”

Roy snorted coldly. “Do you really think I’m a fool? You didn’t hesitate to let A’dal be my prisoner just to get it close to me. The purpose of getting close to me is nothing more than Auriel, who has been hanging on me… You, or the naaru, wanted to find a pure Holy Light creature. They needed this pure Holy Light creature to use the angelic trumpet artifact, right?”

Velen didn’t say anything and only looked at Roy in silence, but he sighed in his heart because Roy was right.

In fact, Velen didn’t know about the naaru’s plan at first. It wasn’t until Archangel Tyrael appeared on the battlefield of Argus and blew the trumpet to break the defenses of the Burning Legion demons in one fell swoop that Velen finally realized it.

Just as Roy had guessed, the naaru could only be regarded as a kind of nephalem. They were creatures made by Elune using the bones of angels and demons found in the battlefield ruins. This caused the naaru to have two completely different attributes of light and darkness after being born. However, the angelic trumpet that Elune had found in the ruins was only usable by pure Holy Light creatures.

The angelic trumpet had extremely powerful destructiveness because its destructive power was fixed. When used on a planet, it could destroy a third of the planet. Expanded to the entire universe, it could also destroy a third of the universe!

It was unknown which Archangel of Eden had left this trumpet on the battlefield. But after Elune picked it up, she couldn’t use it herself, so she finally left it with the naaru. In order to resist the Burning Legion, the naaru not only searched for promising races all over the universe to help, but they also tried their best to find any pure Holy Light creatures that could allow them to activate this angelic trumpet artifact.

In fact, the method of making Lightforged creatures was developed because of this. Their ultimate goal was to find pure Holy Light creatures.

Many years ago, when Roy traveled through history and intercepted the draenei spaceship near Argus, although he had captured the naaru L’ura, L’ura had noticed that Auriel, who was lying on Roy’s shoulder, was once the essence of a pure Holy Light creature. She had used all means to transmit this information to her race, so she had received an order from the Light Mother, Xe’ra.

When A’dal met Roy in Outland, it had taken the initiative to be captured just to get close to him. But A’dal did not expect that, in addition to Auriel, there was another pure Holy Light creature beside him!

Although Tyrael only had his soul left, the body was nothing to energy creatures. His soul was the key. Therefore, while imprisoned, L’ura had kept talking to Tyrael to improve the relationship and bring the two sides closer. It wasn’t until Illidan had attacked the Black Temple and released Tyrael’s soul that L’ura had taken the opportunity to bring him back to the naaru’s mother planet. The naaru had used the powerful Holy Light power of the mother planet to help Tyrael reconstruct his body and even let him go one step further, becoming an Archangel comparable to the Deadly Sin level. At the same time, they handed the angelic trumpet to him.

And what Tyrael, who had obtained power and a divine artifact, couldn’t forget was to save Auriel. It just so happened that Roy was a commander of the Burning Legion, so he immediately took over the mission to attack the demons of the Burning Legion.

However, he didn’t know that his thought of ‘saving Auriel’ was probably just his wishful thinking… Because of Roy’s advancement, Auriel had actually recovered a portion of her memories, and her identity as a Void creature was completely suppressed. But Auriel had totally transformed into Roy’s shape, and it was impossible for her to return to her angel identity…

Although Velen was silent, Roy knew from his attitude that he was absolutely right, so he laughed out loud.

Perhaps the naaru had obtained Tyrael, but they didn’t know that he was a trap that Roy had deliberately left behind. These naaru had always been mysterious, and no one knew where their headquarters was. But this was only in the past. When they accepted Tyrael, their location had been exposed.

Now, as long as Roy was willing, he could easily find the naaru’s home planet and totally destroy them…

More importantly, because of Tyrael’s appearance and intervention in the war between Azeroth and Argus, this proved that unknown variables had finally appeared in the history of this world.

And wasn’t the unknown the most interesting?

Roy laughed and turned to look at the huge beam of light outside the window. He knew that the beam of light was ultimately pointing to the Pantheon of the titans. But at this moment, he did not intend to save Sargeras yet. Instead, he said to Rafaro, “Track the beam of light and locate the Pantheon. Then we’ll find time to ‘visit’ the titans!”

Rafaro did as he was told, but Velen’s heart skipped a beat.

What should I do? If Osiris goes to the Pantheon and saves Sargeras, won’t the goal everyone has been working so hard for be in vain? Velen’s mind raced. What should I do? How should I pass on the news before I die?

After being caught by Roy, Velen no longer had any hope for his survival. He only thought about how to inform the coalition and the Pantheon.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Roy said, “Now, leave my starship, Prophet Velen!”

“You’re not going to kill me?!” Velen looked up at Roy in surprise.

“Why should I kill you?” Roy said playfully. “I want to see how you struggle and dance! The fun is finally about to begin. Be it the protagonists or the supporting characters, shouldn’t you try your best to perform on the stage?”

Velen didn’t understand Roy at all. But before he could figure things out, he was thrown out along with his spaceship.

After returning to his spaceship, Velen had a look of disbelief on his face. He could only watch helplessly as the distant giant mothership of the King of Despair sailed toward Argus.

He didn’t know that what Roy needed now was an even larger war, a war far more massive than the Burning Crusade, because he wanted to spread Chaos power. In Roy’s expectations, he would do everything possible to include all the forces in this universe, be it the titans of the Pantheon of Order on the surface, the Shadowlands hiding behind the scenes, the distant and mysterious naaru’s Army of Light, or cosmic gods such as Elune. Before the Void Lords woke up, he planned to put on the most magnificent performance in this real universe.

“From now on, I, the Lord of Chaos, Osiris, will be the great director of this performance…”

After a short flight, the starship arrived at Argus. Although the titans had pulled Sargeras back to the Pantheon, the aftermath of the battle on Argus had yet to subside. In addition, some of the coalition army had yet to evacuate, so the connection space between Azeroth and Argus had yet to separate. The two planets were still relatively close to each other in the starry sky.

The climate on Argus had been utterly ruined. The endless rain of fire had yet to stop and kept falling from the thick, dark clouds to the ground. Magma spewed out from volcanic eruptions and flooded the surface of Argus. Moreover, at this moment, there was a massive battle still ongoing on this purgatory-like planet.

The two sides fighting were Julia and Benia against Archangel Tyrael!

Julia and Benia had been on Argus, waiting for Roy’s return. They had been hiding well among the demons of the Burning Legion. After the headquarters of the Burning Legion was destroyed, they had wanted to evacuate with the fleeing demons. But unfortunately, Tyrael had come to Argus to find Roy. He wanted to save Auriel, but he didn’t find any traces of Roy and instead recognized Julia and Benia.

Tyrael wanted to capture Julia and Benia, but how could the two of them surrender without a fight? So they started fighting him.

It wasn’t until the battle between the two sides began that both the coalition army and the Burning Legion demons were surprised to find out that the two demon adjutants Julia and Benia were no weaker than Kil’jaeden!

They had hidden themselves too well! Demons were really cunning…

Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the coalition heroes. Who would have thought that two attractive female demons would suddenly display the same strength as commanders of the Burning Legion? If they had accidentally encountered these two female demon adjutants, they might have been killed before they could even react…

The coalition heroes slowly withdrew while watching the battle in the sky. Although there were such variables, fortunately, Archangel Tyrael was facing these two demonesses…

However, before they could rejoice, the thick clouds of Argus suddenly split open!

With the light projected after the clouds tore apart, a magnificent starship appeared in front of everyone. This starship was so large that its appearance even enveloped most of Argus’s atmosphere. They didn’t dare to imagine how great the tremors would be if it landed on the ground.

Fortunately, this starship didn’t seem to have any intention of landing. It stayed in the sky, and the belly of the cabin slowly opened.

A demon appeared in front of everyone. Everyone, including Archangel Tyrael, quivered all over when they saw this demon clearly!

It was… the King of Despair Osiris?! Why… why did he suddenly appear?!

“Darling!” The moment Julia and Benia saw Roy appear, they were pleasantly surprised. They spread their wings and flew toward him. After arriving beside him, they hugged his arms on the left and right, their faces full of excitement.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the three demons in the sky, the coalition heroes below stopped retreating. Their bodies felt as though they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were so stiff that they couldn’t move.

That’s right! The coalition heroes suddenly remembered that these two demonesses seemed to be the adjutants of the King of Despair!

Even his adjutants were so powerful, so what about Osiris? What level was he?

In an instant, everyone’s breathing seemed to stagnate, and an atmosphere of silence instantly swept through the entire area…
