Judgement

At this moment, the Twilight Judgment, poised and ready, was like a powder keg with a lit fuse. Just as Oregorger was about to hurl it at the enemy, he discovered it was stuck fast to his hand, impossible to shake off.

He completely lost his connection to the Focusing Iris. His once powerful body felt as though it had been instantly drained, even flying became exhausting. More importantly, he had no control over how to release the Twilight Judgment.

Oregorger desperately tried to cancel the spell, but it was too late. He had forcibly suppressed the Twilight Judgment for half a minute, and it finally detonated completely around him.

With a deafening roar, a multicolored mushroom cloud appeared in the sky. The immense shockwave spread outwards, and all members of the Twilight Dragonflight scattered in terror, including Sinestra and Nefarian. However, unless they could teleport tens of kilometers away instantly, how could the speed of their wings ever outpace the shockwave?

The violent power and shockwave spread at the speed of light, instantly and completely disintegrating every creature caught within it.

Sinestra and Nefarian, being the most powerful, were naturally the fastest fliers. They sensed the energy spiraling out of control and fled in different directions at once.

Nefarian beat his massive wings with all his might, flying towards the sea. He was moving at the fastest speed of his life, but he could still feel the immense, despair-inducing force behind him. No matter how hard he tried, the destructive energy kept getting closer and closer.

He was almost insane, completely unable to accept this enormous reversal.

He couldn't understand why a judgment meant for the enemy was falling upon his own people.

Just as Nefarian felt a flicker of exhaustion, he was released.

The seemingly tireless shockwave relentlessly crushed forward, engulfing the Black Dragon Prince. In an instant, Nefarian was utterly disintegrated by the extreme power of six dragonflights.

His mother, Sinestra, suffered the same fate. Even though she had flown thousands of meters away and thousands of meters into the sky, using short-range teleportation and various life-saving measures, it was all the same.

The power of the Twilight Judgment violently poured down upon the entirety of Dragonblight and the vast ocean area even larger than it, and it did not subside for a long time.

Half an hour later, the Dragon Aspects finally deactivated their shields. The heroes, protected by the shields and unharmed, looked at each other in bewilderment.

After the Twilight Judgment descended, the absolute darkness quickly dissipated. The heroes under the barrier witnessed the scene just now. They never expected such a result—because the Twilight Judgment did not directly attack the barrier, the Dragon Aspects were able to easily withstand it. On the contrary, all the enemies outside the barrier suffered.

Now, Dragonblight had completely changed: the land was torn apart, covered in scars. Flames, magma, venom, arcane rifts, unstable spatial structures, temporal eddies, shadow energy… all kinds of destructive forces remained on the scarred earth. The surrounding area was pockmarked like the surface of the moon, and the shockwave completely changed the terrain of Dragonblight. Originally, this was a plain, but now it had become undulating hills.

Waves of hills spread out in a regular pattern, forming a strange and magnificent landscape when viewed from above.

However, Wyrmrest Temple, a structure built countless years ago, had collapsed.

"I simply can't believe my eyes. What did we just see? The Chromatic Dragon lifting a rock only to drop it on its own foot?"

Krasus clicked his tongue in amazement.

He and the Wyrmrest Accord had been chasing Nefarian and Sinestra here, but before they could do anything, Oregorger released that Twilight Judgment, which looked like it could destroy the world from any angle. They hid under the shield, anxiously awaiting what he expected to be a very bad outcome, but he never imagined that the real ending would be so unexpected. In the end, this spell was such a damp squib!

He couldn't help but look at Aiden, who was wearing a strange smile.

He knew this must be Aiden's "masterpiece."

Sure enough, Aiden raised his eyebrows. "Twilight Judgment, as the name suggests, isn't it a judgment on the Twilight Cultists?"

"Indeed!"

"Haha, this explanation is reasonable and convincing!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Only one person in the crowd did not seem so happy.

Aiden saw Onyxia standing aside in a daze. Hiding inside the barrier, she had watched the Twilight Judgment descend, engulfing the entire Twilight Dragonflight. The violent energy instantly disintegrated those twisted, mindless purple dragons.

She saw Sinestra and Nefarian run in different directions, but were they dead or alive?

Those were her mother and brother, how could she be happy without confirming the result?

Aiden walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Onyxia looked up at Aiden, her eyes puzzled.

"I mean about your mother and brother, I…"

Aiden didn't know how to explain. After all, these two were enemies, and even Onyxia's father would be an object he must end. And Onyxia was a hero under his command, who had followed him in bloody battles for a long time.

"They're not dead?" Onyxia asked strangely.

"Huh?" This time it was Aiden's turn to be a little strange. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'm afraid they couldn't escape from the Twilight Judgment."

"That's wonderful!" Onyxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She exaggeratedly patted her chest and said with a look of relief, "I thought you were going to tell me they had escaped, my master! You really scared me to death!"

"…" Aiden was speechless. He no longer knew what emotion to use to face Onyxia's reaction.

Shouldn't she be very sad? Why does she look so happy when Sinestra and Nefarian are dead?

He was very strange, so he asked.

Onyxia replied as a matter of course: "But they have already joined the Old Gods! My mother even wanted me to join that group of lunatics. I don't want to be a crazy biologist, dealing with disgusting things like corpses, modifications, constructs, and genes every day. Now there are two fewer people who can force me to do things, shouldn't I be happy?"

Her rhetorical question left Aiden completely speechless.

"When are we going to destroy Deathwing?" Onyxia pressed, looking eager to try. "I will definitely do my best!"

She showed a strong interest in the cause of killing her own father.

Aiden found that he couldn't fathom the Black Dragon Princess's thoughts with the thinking of ordinary people. But this was a good thing, after all, Onyxia was on their side. It would be troublesome if she sympathized with her family members who had already joined the Old Gods.

As for the matter of destroying Deathwing, Aiden replied: "I'm afraid we have to kill Chromatus first."

"It's not dead?" Onyxia asked in surprise.

She recalled the Twilight Judgment that had just devoured, annihilated, and disintegrated all living things. Chromatus was at the very center of the explosion, how could it not have been the first to be blown to death?

"No."

When the explosion occurred, the vision and hearing that everyone had been deprived of did not immediately recover. Aiden could not see the actual situation of Chromatus at the very center of the explosion, but he could observe the condition of this powerful chromatic dragon through the Eye of Sargeras.

Chromatus's body was severely damaged when the Twilight Judgment descended, but before it was truly destroyed, it had already merged into the void, using its innate ability to escape the explosion range. Then it went all the way south and teleported away to a safe location.

When it exceeded the distance, the Eye of Sargeras could no longer locate Chromatus's position, after all, the main function of this artifact was not positioning.

"Kassadin!" Aiden called the Void Walker's name, "Go south to track Chromatus's location, and notify me as soon as you find it."

"Understood, Commander." Kassadin agreed crisply, and a Void Walk disappeared in front of everyone.

Aiden walked towards the place where the Dragon Aspects were and asked, "How are you doing?"

"Much better than expected, just lost a little power." Alexstrasza looked very relaxed.

She had previously thought that after the Twilight Judgment descended, the most she could do was to slightly reduce the damage to the earth and reduce the harm and scope of the Twilight Judgment. For this reason, she and the other Dragon Aspects had prepared to sacrifice themselves.

The actual situation was indeed a thousand times better than she had imagined. They all knew that this was Aiden's credit, otherwise everything would have been as Alexstrasza thought. The shield would not be able to protect them, and most of the people here would probably be killed by the Twilight Judgment in the first place, just like those dozens of Twilight Dragons in the sky that were completely disintegrated.

"You saved us again." Malygos looked at Aiden and nodded in salute.

"I saved myself too," Aiden responded.

If he hadn't done that, it wouldn't just be the Dragon Aspects who would have been destroyed, but also the Valoran heroes gathered here. Aiden would never want to see any of them have such an accident.

At least when he was still their commander, he would do his best to ensure the safety of his heroes, just like these heroes were willing to give their lives to protect him.

Now that Chromatus is seriously injured, it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover. Before N'Zoth can find a way to deal with Aiden's attack that can cut off Chromatus's connection with the Focusing Iris in his body, I am afraid that this chromatic dragon will not easily come out again.

Without the support of those huge energies, the chromatic dragon would become an empty shell. And the chromatic dragon is arguably the most critical pawn in N'Zoth's plan, how could he be willing to let the other party be cannon fodder?

Aiden discussed with the Dragon Aspects for a while. Since Deathwing and Chromatus have both been hidden, he proposed that the dragon army be fully dispatched to search for the places where these two guys might exist. At the same time, mortals will also send out the largest number of reconnaissance troops to track them.

Once one of them appears, they will immediately gather and destroy it!

The Dragon Aspects readily agreed.

Even if mortals don't do this, the Guardian Dragons must do it. Whether it is Deathwing or Chromatus, they are their mortal enemies. The Dragon Aspects cannot accept Deathwing's betrayal and fall, nor can they accept Chromatus's deformed transformation and threat.

Union is stronger!
