Murozond

When Aiden and Chromie arrived at the place where they had just landed, there was no sign of Nozdormu. He had taken Jaina back to their original timeline, to a point more than a year in the past, the time when the Battle for the Frozen Throne broke out.

"He's gone." Chromie glanced around, sniffed the air, and then smiled, "But it doesn't matter, I have a way to track him down!"

"I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

The one who answered wasn't Aiden, but one of a group of uninvited guests who suddenly appeared from the void.

This was a group of Infinite Dragons, and the leader was even more massive, in no way inferior to Chromie. The one who had just spoken was this Infinite Dragon leader.

Chromie stared at this black Infinite Dragon, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Anachronos!"

"That's right, you recognize me. Chronormu, Keeper of Time!" This was none other than the bronze dragon prince Anachronos, whom Aiden had met in the Caverns of Time not long ago, but now he had transformed into a black Infinite Dragon.

Aiden noticed a middle-aged strong man wearing black plate armor and a long cloak standing on Anachronos's back. He carried a greatsword on his back that was almost as big as he was—it was truly a greatsword. For ordinary people, the width of this sword, when held upright, would be enough to use as a shield! And the length was also very exaggerated, a full six feet, taller than most adults!

"That should be Aedelas Blackmoore, right?" Aiden confirmed with Chromie. This person was too eye-catching; he noticed him at first glance.

"That's him." Chromie transformed into her original form, watching the enemies warily, then said in a low voice to Aiden, "We're in trouble. Act according to the circumstances later. I'll try my best to send you away!"

Aiden nodded silently.

The Blackmoore in front of him gave him a great sense of oppression. This would definitely be a difficult opponent. Anachronos was one of the most powerful bronze dragons, and becoming an Infinite Dragon had given him even greater power than before.

The Infinite Dragon side launched the first attack, with more than a dozen dragons surrounding Chromie and attacking. Blackmoore, in his black armor, stood on Anachronos's back. As the powerful Infinite Dragon flapped its massive wings and charged, he took the greatsword from his back, gripped it with both hands, and kept his eyes fixed on Aiden, ready to deliver a fatal blow once he got close.

Aiden summoned his own weapon and ignited the Silver Judgment with Holy Flame. When the first rash Infinite Dragon tried to incinerate him with black dragon breath, he wielded the Scepter of Time, unfurled his Wings of Holy Light in the slowed-down flow of time, and suddenly leaped into the air, fiercely slashing off the head of this Infinite Dragon, whose eyes still held terror.

The blood spurting from the severed neck of the Infinite Dragon splashed onto its nearby kin, and its head and headless, massive black corpse fell towards the surging tide. However, the dragon corpse gradually faded in mid-air, turning into a phantom until it completely disappeared.

Aiden's sudden attack gave the Infinite Dragonflight a fierce blow. How could they not sense that this human was using time magic to slow down the flow of time? Anachronos had been guarding against Chromie using such tricks, but he hadn't expected to defend against Chromie but not the mortal on her back.

Using the power of time was no longer the exclusive right of the bronze dragons or Infinite Dragons.

While Aiden ambushed the rash Infinite Dragon, Chromie flew towards Anachronos. The two dragons attacked each other in the air. Chromie deftly flipped over to avoid Anachronos's spells, but Anachronos couldn't unleash his full power because he still had a non-flying person on his back.

"Get on Tik's back, Aedelas!" Anachronos was injured by Chromie's spell. Although it was only a minor injury, it made him extremely angry.

He wasn't Chromie's opponent when he was a bronze dragon, and now that he had become an Infinite Dragon and gained greater power, he thought he was strong enough to challenge this Keeper of Time, but he didn't expect to still be slightly inferior.

But it didn't matter, he still had many helpers. More than a dozen Infinite Dragons were fully capable of making up for that insignificant difference in power.

Anachronos flew diagonally, and Aedelas on his back crouched slightly. Seeing another Infinite Dragon named Tik coming to meet him, he immediately leaped and jumped onto its back.

Anachronos was now able to attack freely, and he immediately pounced on Chromie, ready to avenge the arrow just now!

Aedelas also drove Tik towards Aiden. His goal had always been very clear: the human in front of him!

Aiden also wanted to test the strength of this Blackmoore King, who had been given the protagonist template. Seeing the other party rushing up, he immediately spread his wings and flew up.

Both had the same thought. The Holy Flame-blazing Silver Judgment and that exaggerated greatsword clashed, and the metallic tremor even caused the Infinite Dragon Tik under Aedelas's feet to let out a wail. Its eardrums were severely shaken, and it felt dizzy, even making its flight somewhat unbalanced.

Aiden flew backward, flapping his Wings of Holy Light several times to regain his balance in the air. The force from that greatsword was too exaggerated; it didn't seem like a human was wielding it, but rather a humanoid dragon.

Aedelas should have had a victorious smile, but he couldn't. Although his strength had an absolute advantage, the Silver Judgment's attack was not a purely physical one. The Holy Flame splashed from the sword stained the big man's body, burning countless holes in the long cloak on his body, and even some of the skin under the cloak was burned by the Holy Flame. The pain made his face somewhat distorted.

Both now had a rough understanding of the other's power. Just as they were preparing to start fighting again, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from the horizon. A blue dragon flew from afar, heading straight for this battlefield.

"It's Kalecgos!" Chromie exclaimed in surprise.

She was being besieged by Anachronos and more than a dozen Infinite Dragons. Even if she was stronger than any Infinite Dragon present, it was still somewhat difficult to cope.

Kalecgos's arrival was like sending charcoal in the snow. The young Blue Dragon King had just been ambushed by a group of Infinite Dragons, which delayed his time in coming here to find Jaina to stop her from using the Focusing Iris to destroy Orgrimmar.

When he flew over, he could only watch helplessly as countless water elementals and tides dozens of meters high surged in wave after wave, submerging Durotar and everything in Orgrimmar.

Although these orcs and trolls had nothing to do with him, these people had died because someone had abused the blue dragons' magical artifact. He couldn't help but feel guilty and blame himself.

He was extremely anxious and angry, because when he was flying halfway, the Focusing Iris suddenly disappeared completely from his senses! He didn't know what had happened. On the way here, he even saw the almost fragmented corpse of former Warchief Thrall hanging on a broken wooden stake, constantly washed by the flood. His blood had already drained. Without a doubt, this great orc had completely died.

Kalecgos came to the scene of the incident at his fastest speed, just in time to see the group of Infinite Dragons who had ambushed him besieging the bronze dragon Chromie and another mortal. He immediately guessed the truth—all of this must have been done by this group of Infinite Dragons!

No matter how powerful the Infinite Dragons were, they couldn't match the wrath of a Dragon Aspect. Anachronos knew this well. Seeing Kalecgos approaching, he immediately ordered all the Infinite Dragons to retreat.

In the end, seven unlucky Infinite Dragons were entangled and then killed by the attacks of Chromie, Kalecgos, and Aiden. But no matter what, Anachronos and the key figure Blackmoore escaped.

"What happened, Chromie?" After solving these annoying Infinite Dragons, Kalecgos immediately asked Chromie, whom he knew.

Chromie said with a bitter face, "A little trouble, Kalecgos. The Infinite Dragonflight is destroying the timeline. We're in trouble."

"Where's Jaina?"

"I'm afraid she's no longer in this world."

Chromie's words were ambiguous. She had some guesses, but they remained to be confirmed.

Kalecgos was somewhat dazed. He thought Chromie meant that Jaina was dead. He imagined what had just happened—this group of Infinite Dragons must have attacked her, intending to steal the Focusing Iris from her hands. Then Chromie and this mortal came here, but still failed to stop the Infinite Dragonflight and instead fell into a siege.

Chromie said, "We need to find Nozdormu immediately. Farewell, Kalecgos! Thank you for your help!"

"No need to be polite, it's what I should do, but I was a step too late," Kalecgos said in a heavy tone. If he could have set off earlier, perhaps everything would have been different.

Chromie nodded and glanced at Aiden, "We're leaving!"

"This person?" Only then did Kalecgos remember that he didn't recognize this human—this was clearly a human, not a bronze dragon who had transformed into a human form.

"A key figure. Please allow me to keep it a secret for now!" Chromie played coy, then opened a portal. The two bid farewell to Kalecgos and stepped into it.

After escaping, Anachronos arrived in another dimension, a Time Cave exclusive to the Infinite Dragonflight, a realm where gray-white translucent walls were surrounded by soaring black Infinite Dragons.

He found his father here, the "Infinite Dragon King" Murozond. This massive Infinite Dragon leader was lying in his lair, with his eyes closed, feigning sleep. He wasn't really sleeping, but observing the movements of countless timelines.

"Father, I have completed the task you entrusted to me."

Hearing Anachronos's words, Murozond opened his eyes.

"Well done, but it's not over yet. Finish the remaining tasks. Go, my child!"

Anachronos prepared to leave, but before he left, he couldn't help but ask, "Why, Father, why do we have to do this? Just now, I sacrificed seven members of our clan for this matter. You know, they didn't need to make such a sacrifice."

"For a promise. For true liberation."

"But we are paying the price for the current enemies!"

"So, you have complaints?" Murozond's vertical pupils stared at his son, who was clearly showing resistance.

"No, no, I just…" Anachronos hurriedly denied.

"If you're unwilling, I can have someone else go," Murozond said calmly, as if he was compromising and making concessions.

"No, I'm willing, I'm very willing, no need to replace me, Father! I'll go immediately!" Anachronos almost fled from here.

Because the "someone else" Murozond mentioned wasn't replacing him with another Infinite Dragon, but replacing him with another Anachronos.

On the infinite timelines, there are infinite Infinite Dragonflights, and infinite Anachronoses who have become Infinite Dragons, each of whom can be real.

But no matter how many timelines there are, there is only one true Bronze Dragon Aspect, and only one true Infinite Dragon King. The others are just clones, phantoms, the scales imbued with divine power that they once threw into various timelines.

After Anachronos couldn't wait to leave, Murozond lay down again, half-closing his eyes. He gazed at an artifact that did not exist in the current dimension, the Hourglass of Time, watching a figure traveling with a bronze dragon in one of the countless timelines displayed to him by the hourglass.

"Aiden—I have fulfilled my promise."

"Then can you do what was promised?"

—

At this time, Aiden, who was being watched by the Infinite Dragon King isolated in a certain dimension, was traversing to another timeline with Chromie.

They appeared in the skies above Icecrown Glacier in Northrend. This world was in the 27th year after the opening of the Dark Portal, and at this moment, a famous historical event was taking place—the leader of the Argent Crusade, the paladin Tirion Fordring, was leading his warriors to attack Icecrown Citadel, preparing to break into it and kill the evil Lich King Arthas!

He rode his warhorse, raised the Ashbringer high, and shouted in front of the gates of Icecrown Citadel, "Assemble, Argent Crusade, the time to deliver justice has come!"

The Crusade's morale was high, and warriors of all races followed this great paladin, preparing to completely kill the evil Lich King on the Frozen Throne!

Following the principle of never changing history, Aiden and Chromie remained as spectators.

Highlord Darion Mograine of the Ebon Hold led the Knights of the Ebon Blade to attack alongside the Argent Crusade.

After the warriors stormed through the gates, the negative energy and frost spreading through Icecrown Citadel caused fear to arise in their hearts, making them hesitant in the face of the Scourge's power.

At this time, Tirion Fordring began to boost morale. He shouted, "Remember, warriors!"

This was a line that Aiden was very familiar with and liked. When Fordring shouted, he also whispered, "In this evil place, fear is your greatest enemy, courage will make your souls brighter than a thousand suns. The enemy will crumble before you, and the light of justice will completely destroy them."

The voices and tones of the two people were unexpectedly consistent. And what Aiden didn't expect was that after he recited a sentence, Chromie's crisp "loli voice" rang out beside him, also reciting this line in the same tone.

Aiden looked at her in surprise. She rolled her eyes, "Please, don't look at me like that. I've seen this scene more times than you can imagine. I won't tell you that I remember the lines of almost every important character in this battle."

She began to play multiple roles on her own, recreating the upcoming conversation when the Alliance forces killed Death Knight High Overlord Saurfang, and his father, High Overlord Varok Saurfang, arrived here:

"I will not forget this kindness. I thank you for your nobility."—This is what Varok Saurfang will say soon after. Chromie imitated his voice, although she deliberately roughened her voice, it still sounded very strange, without any of that solemn and dignified feeling.

Aiden also had the idea of being funny, and without thinking, he began to play the other side of the conversation, King Varian Wrynn, and said, "I, I was not at the Wrathgate. But the soldiers who returned alive told me everything that happened. Your son fought with honor. He died a hero's death, and should be buried as a hero."

In order to restore the scene at that time, he also saluted.

Then Chromie, with a straight face, imitated Jaina's weeping.

"Jaina, why are you crying?" This was still Aiden imitating Varian's voice.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty. I'm just… proud of my king." Chromie pretended to cry as Jaina. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

They were both hidden by the power of time, so even if they stood next to others, they wouldn't be noticed, so they wouldn't interfere with the progress of history at all.

The war to conquer the Lich King continued. This would be a war of revenge, and it should have been a war in which the Alliance and the Horde sincerely united to jointly eliminate the Lich King. However, the powerful Alliance and Horde became supporting roles in this war—in fact, they did maintain very close cooperation at the beginning, but the "Wrathgate Incident" that happened before caused unprecedented conflicts between the two.

The plot in the game was not clear enough, but now Aiden saw this "ugly" scene in a real scene.

"The hatred and prejudice between the factions can actually outweigh the threat posed by the enemy. The leaders of the Alliance and the Horde have made me 'look at them with new eyes.'"

Chromie glanced at him and asked strangely, "Aren't you also a leader of a faction now?"

"But I do better than them." Aiden replied confidently.

"I have to admit that." Chromie nodded.

At least in their timeline, when history developed to that stage, although there was some estrangement between the New Alliance and the Old Alliance, it was definitely not an irreconcilable hatred. Even with the resolution of the Worgen crisis, the relationship between the two alliances returned to the honeymoon period.

Without a completely opposing Horde, all the bloody conflicts that occurred in their timeline were to resist the real enemies, such as the Scourge, the Burning Legion, and the minions of the Old Gods.

"Still, Tirion Fordring is worthy of respect."

"Ha, can you give him some benefits when you go back?"

The two joked with each other.

Below, Darion and Fordring had already led their warriors to storm the Frozen Throne, and the final battle was about to break out.
