Exposed

Almost as soon as Yogg-Saron's avatar thought it was about to succeed, Ysera dispelled the illusion in the lair.

People could hardly believe their eyes; in the blink of an eye, the situation they saw completely changed:

Just now, most of the heroes were skillfully dodging the attacks of Yogg-Saron's minions, while simultaneously unleashing their most powerful attacks on the clumsy Yogg-Saron's main body, hoping to severely damage this Old God little by little and eliminate it as soon as possible.

But now they realized that the surrounding Old God's minions did not exist at all, and even the head of Yogg-Saron with hundreds of mouths did not exist.

They were attacking the black-purple magic barrier from before, and through the barrier, they could still see the giant pit with its eerie blue light inside.

It was still in the middle of the lair, shrouded above the giant pit that emitted an eerie blue light, and had never been destroyed.

"This, this is!"

"By the Holy Light, this isn't an illusion, is it?"

"Oh my god, oh my god!"

People looked around, where were the minions of the Old God? Clearly, they were "heroically fighting" a magic barrier that could withstand all attacks!

The weak, or rapidly recovering, main body of Yogg-Saron had never appeared!

Everything that had just happened was actually an illusion conjured up by their own minds.

This huge contrast made people not even know which was reality and which was a dream.

Could it be that this scene they were seeing was a trick created by Yogg-Saron, knowing it couldn't resist their attacks, to buy time?

No one knew the truth.

At this time, Ysera stood up and raised her voice, "Heroes, Archangel Kayle was right. We have been immersed in illusions all along. This is all Yogg-Saron's conspiracy! This scene before us is the real picture!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Continue, start over!" Archmage Antonidas raised his staff and said loudly, "Kirin Tor, gather around me, let us resume the work we just didn't finish!"

Under his command, the archmages of Kirin Tor quickly rushed over from all directions, and under the leadership of this mage leader, they continued to guide the spell to break the barrier.

When the fake Aiden emerged from the giant pit before, the scene in front of everyone's eyes changed, the magic barrier that had been blocking them disappeared, and then Yogg-Saron's main body suddenly appeared.

At that time, no one knew that this was just an illusion. Therefore, the Kirin Tor mages' spell to break the barrier, which had been carefully prepared for a long time, was withdrawn when it was close to completion.

Now that the illusion had been dispelled, everything had returned to the starting point. Antonidas knew that these mages had to take on the responsibility of breaking this barrier and complete what they had not yet done.

Apart from them, everyone else looked at the fake Aiden with a common hatred.

Now that this scene had proved that Kayle was right, wouldn't that mean that this Aiden was Yogg-Saron's avatar!

Yogg-Saron was furious, as one could imagine, seeing that it was only a little bit away from completing its plan, but everything was destroyed by Kayle , Morgana, Nocturne, Freya, and Ysera.

Now most of the heroes were moving closer to the Wells of Intellect around them, everyone knew that if everyone was unknowingly affected by the mind spells, what terrible things would happen later.

And a few who were sure that they had not been affected or had dispelled the mind spells—the Guardians and Dragon Aspects, as well as a few other heroes, surrounded this fake Aiden.

'Activate it in advance,' Yogg-Saron thought.

It felt that it had to do this, otherwise it would only suffer even more losses!

The Wells of Intellect would not take effect immediately just by standing next to them. Yogg-Saron was hesitating whether to take a gamble—if it went all out now, it could delay most of the heroes who had not yet approached the Wells of Intellect for a minute. Then these heroes would be controlled by it and become its servants.

So, in the current situation, should it take this risk?

It scanned the heroes around it who were glaring at this avatar, and thought of Aiden, who was causing havoc in its stomach, and became hesitant for a while.

If it failed, its ending would not be better than that of C'Thun, who had just died completely.

The serious consequences that failure might bring made it difficult to take a truly risky move.

At this moment, a deep and eerie voice directly entered its mind:

"Do it, Yogg-Saron! This is the last chance you can seize!"

It was N'Zoth, urging Yogg-Saron.

"Are you hesitating? Have you forgotten the previous agreement?" Although N'Zoth was tens of thousands of miles away, Yogg-Saron's emotional changes were still under its control. The tone of this most powerful Old God immediately became strong and stiff, like an order to a subordinate.

"Agreement", this word immediately made Yogg-Saron nervous.

After C'Thun's death last time, Yogg-Saron learned that these mortals had regarded it as the next target and were about to come and attack it, but it was not ready yet. In this case, it would definitely be sealed, and its efforts over tens of thousands of years would be in vain.

It knew that it could not eliminate those mortals by itself. On this timeline, the power of mortals was unprecedentedly strong, and the Old Gods could only truly unite to rule the world again.

It was afraid of following in C'Thun's footsteps, so it chose to "team up" with N'Zoth. It needed N'Zoth's help, and its absolute power was also weaker than the other party, so of course it could only try to lower its posture as much as possible.

Therefore, in their cooperative relationship, N'Zoth was the master and it was the subordinate.

According to the agreement, it had to obey the other party's plans and orders, otherwise... N'Zoth would rather abandon it and work alone.

This abandonment was not just letting Yogg-Saron fend for itself, but rather completely betraying it and letting it bear the pressure of those mortals.

"I haven't forgotten the agreement." When saying this, Yogg-Saron felt extremely heartache, not only in a metaphorical sense, but in fact, its heart was now being attacked by Aiden and his terrifying Vine Army, and the severe pain was ten times stronger than losing several of its stomachs in a row.

"Don't forget your promise either, N'Zoth."

"Of course, I will keep my promise." Only then did N'Zoth express satisfaction.

Yogg-Saron's avatar raised its head, and it looked at the heroes around it who were staring at it warily with feigned surprise, and said somewhat self-reproachingly: "I'm very sorry, it seems that I misunderstood you. I didn't expect Yogg-Saron to be so cunning, the dream it weaved deceived all of us, and even I overlooked it."

It put on the most sincere expression and said to Kayle , "I'm sorry, Kayle , I just wronged you."

The heroes looked at each other, and suddenly they didn't know whether what it said was true or false, or rather, they didn't know whether this "Aiden" in front of them was real or fake.

However, Kayle would not believe its words. The Judgment Sword in her hand was still burning fiercely in the holy flame. She did not hide her hostility and shouted in a low voice: "Don't even think about deceiving us again, Yogg-Saron."

"I'm not Yogg-Saron, really not!" The fake Aiden quickly denied.

"alright, I have a way to prove whether you are our commander or not." Kayle cautiously stepped forward, pointed her sword at the other party, and said, "I know you can read the memories of many people in Azeroth, but some memories of Valoran will not be known to you."

She deliberately paused, and sure enough, the fake Aiden's face sank when she said this.

"Please tell me who the statue in the Eternal Radiance Shrine in the Eternal Kingdom is?" Kayle asked, word by word.

How could Yogg-Saron know this answer? Even the real Aiden didn't know. Kayle's question was just a test.

However, her question made Morgana look sideways. This was the highest secret of the Eternal Kingdom. Could it be that she had already told the commander?

Yogg-Saron didn't even know where the Eternal Kingdom was, so of course it couldn't answer.

"alright, you win!" Yogg-Saron's avatar replied hatefully.

No one didn't understand what this meant—they no longer had any doubts. This "Aiden" in front of them was indeed Yogg-Saron's avatar!

However, before they launched an attack, Yogg-Saron, unwilling to sit still and wait for death, had already unleashed its power.

The power of the God of Death suddenly erupted from this body, and it instantly dispelled the transformation spell, turning into its true appearance—a giant octopus monster with dozens of mouths.

"The game is over, now you will face the true power of the God of Death!" Yogg-Saron's avatar let out its true voice.

Everyone had heard this voice when they first entered the dream!

Its tentacles extended madly in all directions, countless cracks suddenly opened on the ground, and the entire lair of Yogg-Saron began to vibrate violently, as if a magnitude nine earthquake was taking place. The heroes here suddenly couldn't stand still and had to rely on various means to barely maintain their balance.

A huge force beyond imagination was brewing underground, as if some super evil thing was about to break out of the ground.

"Destroy it! Quickly!" When Alexstrasza discovered Yogg-Saron's avatar transforming, she immediately opened her mouth and spewed out a scorching dragon breath. Yogg-Saron's avatar, which was in a state of transformation, could not stop it at all, and it could only use its body to withstand it!

Kayle also flapped her wings and flew up at the first time. The vibration of the ground would not affect heroes like her who could fight in the air.

At this time, Onyxia, the Black Dragon Princess, suddenly shouted in panic: "Everyone be careful! An evil dark force is erupting from the ground!"

"Prepare for defense!"

"Quick, get out of the way!"

"Spirits of the earth, protect us!"

Not long after Onyxia sensed the power from the ground, others also gradually noticed this palpitating change. Especially Thrall, the elemental spirits conveyed terrified emotions, almost comparable to when Outland was about to be destroyed.

Ancestral spirits above, what exactly is that thing?
