Succumb

Crush—for the Eye of Yogg-Saron, this command represented the complete loss of internal cohesion of a target model, which would then be shattered into smaller units.

Executing the crushing were ten thousand lines of rules, crisscrossing and intersecting, ultimately cutting the model into millions of granular pieces.

Yogg-Saron could clearly feel its heart being mercilessly cut apart.

"I will not accept such a defeat!" Yogg-Saron was extremely unwilling.

In this desperate situation, it understood many things, such as how it had been used by N'Zoth.

It used its own body to prove Aiden's identity and the threat he posed to the Old Gods, only in this way could N'Zoth formulate its subsequent plans.

Now that it had obtained this important information, it naturally lost its value.

N'Zoth had never truly trusted it, just as it had never trusted the other in the first place.

If it hadn't been forced by the situation, how could it have possibly turned to N'Zoth?

It was now paying an unimaginable price for this mistake. Soon after C'Thun's death, it would likely follow in the footsteps of this "good brother."

Unless—it could kill Aiden immediately! If that were the case, it would still have a tiny chance of revival.

Yogg-Saron felt the blood and purifying power rapidly draining from its heart, and it finally cast aside everything and fought with its life!

This was its last chance—a chance to survive from death!

It desperately gathered the remaining essence of power in its heart, quickly brewing a terrifying spell.

Tens of thousands of years ago, an Old God of Azeroth used such means to perish together with a Titan, and now it was using the same method.

Yogg-Saron did not conceal the energy fluctuations when gathering its essence to cast the self-destruction spell. Aiden instantly sensed the terrifying power emanating from the inside of its heart.

He immediately thought of a few months ago, when they were still in Outland, at the top of the Shattered Halls fortress, and were fighting Archimonde. In the end, the opponent used a similar self-destruction attack. If Aiden hadn't stopped time to save most of the heroes at that time, perhaps they would have almost all fallen there.

In that explosion, the four elemental lords of Draenor all died, and more than a dozen Naaru almost exhausted all their energy, especially the most powerful A'dal, who collapsed into a dark Naaru after that.

And Archimonde was only Sargeras's lieutenant, he was not a Titan, and although he possessed strong energy, apart from the authority of destruction personally granted by Sargeras, he himself was still far from being comparable to the Old Gods.

It was conceivable that Yogg-Saron's self-destruction would definitely produce even greater destructive power. With its size and strength, the power might even destroy the entire continent of Northrend!

"You're crazy, Yogg-Saron!" Aiden couldn't help but curse.

Why are there always these lunatics in this world who like to use human bombs!

Aiden himself was not afraid of Yogg-Saron's self-destruction. At worst, he could hide in the temporal membrane. As long as the energy of its self-destruction was not enough to destroy the timeline, it would not be able to hurt Aiden. However, those people in the lair, the elite Alliance soldiers in Ulduar, and even the other creatures of the entire Northrend would probably be in real trouble!

"You forced me to do this!" Yogg-Saron roared hatefully. "Watch, I will make you all be buried with me!"

"There's something we can talk about, don't be so impulsive!" Aiden shouted quickly.

'What to do, what to do…' Aiden was extremely anxious.

It would still take some time to completely crush Yogg-Saron's heart, so relying on it to stop the self-destruction was temporarily out of the question.

It was obviously unrealistic to rely on the ability to stop time to transfer the people on the ground. Even the entire Bronze Dragonflight would not be able to cast a spell sufficient to take everyone away from Northrend.

Avoiding it was definitely not an option, the only solution was to stop it!

Aiden's mind was running faster than ever before. He quickly checked the abilities and items he currently possessed, but did not find anything that could immediately stop Yogg-Saron's self-destruction.

'I should start with Yogg-Saron itself!'

Aiden had a flash of inspiration. He tried hard to recall those memories from Yogg-Saron that he had previously analyzed through the Naaru code, one of which revealed how it controlled the essence of power in its heart. This included two elements: the meridians and mental power!

The meridians were the channels through which the essence of power flowed within Yogg-Saron's body. It existed in the form of energy, just like a mage's mana. In fact, it did not truly exist within the body, but was something non-material.

Mental power was also an abstract ability. The relationship between the two was like that of the brain and nerves. Mental power issued commands, and the meridians executed them.

Aiden had no way to directly attack the other party's meridians, but he could interfere with the other party's mental power, making it unable to concentrate on completing the self-destruction!

He had never thought that one day he would also use his soul and mental power as a means of attack. In the past, he was always the one being mentally attacked—such as Sargeras encountered in the Twisting Nether, and Yogg-Saron just now.

But now he had a unique advantage, because he knew the essence of the Naaru code too well. Perhaps his soul strength was not as good as Yogg-Saron's, but its toughness far exceeded the other party's.

Now was the time to use this special skill!

He condensed his mental power, turning it into sharp spikes and suddenly attacking Yogg-Saron's soul.

This evil god had never thought that it would encounter a mental attack. It didn't even have any defenses, and suddenly its brain felt like it had been hit hard by a giant hammer.

"Ah—"

Yogg-Saron groaned, and because of the mental disturbance, its action of extracting the essence of power from its heart for self-destruction was almost disrupted.

"You, don't even think about stopping me!" Yogg-Saron responded with madness.

It had previously used its mental power to attack Aiden, trying to cooperate with several servants to kill the other party, but unfortunately it did not succeed at that time.

This was originally the most crucial link in N'Zoth's plan. If it had interfered with Aiden's soul at that time, then this guy would have died in its first stomach long ago. Unfortunately, the result did not go as it wished.

Yogg-Saron didn't know the reason. It guessed that Aiden should have some special protection on him. Later, when the other party's true identity was revealed, it understood—the other party was a Titan!

But even so, most Titans were not good at mental power, because their inherently mechanical thinking made their abilities in this area unremarkable.

No matter which world, the Old Gods were the real masters of mental power!

Faced with Aiden's provocation, Yogg-Saron didn't say a word and immediately prepared to split off part of its mental power to fight back.

Just now it was just Aiden's sneak attack, it didn't believe that this guy could fight it head-on!

If Aiden really did this, then Yogg-Saron would be secretly delighted—in that case, it might not have to "self-destruct"!

You must know that this self-destruction of its was taking a great risk. Even if it succeeded, it would only get a chance to be resurrected, and it would still die; and once it failed, it would definitely be completely destroyed, just like C'Thun, completely dead!

"Hmph, you're overestimating yourself! Let you taste what a real mental attack is!" Yogg-Saron couldn't suppress the joy in its heart and immediately allocated most of its mental power to confront Aiden's soul.

Even a Titan could not compete with an Old God in terms of mental power.

It felt that it had a sure chance of winning, and even deliberately paused the process of self-destruction!

You must know that after a while, self-destruction will become an irreversible process, and it will not be possible to stop it even if it wants to.

If it really succeeded in crushing Aiden's will with mental power, then it would win this war. If it still self-destructed at this time, wouldn't it be superfluous?

Anyway, even if it didn't crush the other party's mental power, even if it just drove Aiden away, it could continue to self-destruct and continue to plan its own death and rebirth.

It never thought that it would lose in a mental power competition.

Yogg-Saron's mental power gathered into a beam and returned to Aiden. It could clearly sense that the other party's soul strength was far from its own. It could easily defeat the other party, provided that the other party resisted.

But Aiden withstood the pressure. He looked a little uncomfortable, his face was very pale, and he looked like he had been hit hard, and his eyes were much more confused.

Yogg-Saron was overjoyed, it was very clear that this was a sign of severe mental damage!

Just add a little more effort, and a slightly stronger attack will be able to completely crush the other party's will!

It didn't know that all of this was deliberately pretended by Aiden.

Let the other party feel that they are close to success, and feel that they can defeat their opponent with a little more effort, so that it will go further. Only in this way will Aiden have the opportunity to break the current predicament.

For the sake of victory, who cares whether it is a conspiracy or wisdom!

Aiden secretly used the Naaru code to transform the mental power from Yogg-Saron. He didn't have time to check it carefully, and the second wave of mental power confrontation came.

This time he looked even worse. His face was as white as gold paper, his eyes almost lost focus, and he even staggered under his feet to avoid Yogg-Saron's tentacle attack, and was almost caught by one of the tentacles.

Yogg-Saron has been working on two fronts, while stabbing his own chest and attacking Aiden with his tentacles, while using his mental power, and also taking into account the extraction of the essence of power inside his heart.

"It's almost successful, just need to add a little more effort!" Yogg-Saron was overjoyed when he saw Aiden's performance.

Light and hope reappeared in its eyes. As long as it captured Aiden, even the price it was paying now would not be anything. Because with Aiden in control, as well as those heroes in the lair, it could be truly released. At that time, as long as it operated well, it would even become more powerful than N'Zoth!

Whether to release N'Zoth at that time would be up to it to decide.

As soon as it thought of this, Yogg-Saron was extremely excited, and even felt that the suffering it had suffered today was nothing.

"One last time! Succumb to my will, Aiden!"
