Elune

The Qiraji returning to the surface, the Burning Legion summoned by the Nodis Empire, and the united armies of a hundred races from Shirethe. Ancient Gods, mortals, demons, titans—who exactly is the main character?

The conflicts accumulated since the birth of the universe are erupting on the land of Shirethe.

The first to appear on stage is the Ancient God, G'orr.

He firmly believes that he is the only protagonist, firmly believing that the Twilight Hour will soon descend upon this world. Then his power, the power of all the Ancient Gods, will spread to every corner of the universe, until the "End of Time."

"Ten thousand years, I have finally waited for this day!"

In the deepest abyss of the land of exile, the sealed G'orr emits a sound of uncontrollable excitement from the depths of the earth.

"Ten thousand years, I will return to the surface!"

This sun god's body radiates terrifyingly high temperatures, to the point that the magma around him begins to boil, then surges like a raging tide.

"Burning Legion? You also Delusion to stop me?"

The inside of these magmas is like hundreds of thousands of tons of high explosives being detonated, suddenly erupting violently. The Qiraji underground, the Faceless Ones, and the Twilight's Hammer cultists had already received instructions, seemingly in a panic, but had already premeditatedly fled to the deepest part of the underground, letting hundreds of thousands of demons into this Qiraji capital, the greatest underground city, "Menlo."

When the magma erupts, these demons all turn into a part of it in the tens of thousands of degrees of high-temperature magma.

"How ridiculous!"

G'orr's mocking voice came from underground.

This Ancient God firmly believes that he is the protagonist—at least for now, it seems to be the case.

Magma erupts from the summit of Mount Vashj and various hidden or open entrances, forming a massive volcanic eruption. So many demons outside are also burned to death.

The third commander of this Burning Legion had sensed everything when the volcano's interior changed. However, he didn't have the time to save these foolish low-level demons. Anyway, before the volcano erupted, he had safely evacuated from here.

This is a spellcaster who looks like an Eredar warlock. He is draped in a demon warlock's robe, and heavy chains are wrapped around his body. This attire is a bit strange, but the Burning Legion has no shortage of demons in strange costumes, as long as they can serve the Legion.

What's more, this warlock possesses extremely vast power?

The demons in this legion all know that although this third commander has no real power, even the first commander, the abyssal demon lord Taffys, is extremely wary of his powerful arcane magic.

However, the demons who escaped with him are well aware that this third commander is likely to become the first commander very soon—because Taffys and the other second commander were still inside Mount Vashj when the volcano erupted.

Previous battle reports indicated that they had stormed into the Twilight's Hammer's lair and would soon be able to completely occupy it.

However, it was precisely because of their greed for success that these two guys permanently became a part of this volcano.

The clever demons are already considering whether they should change their address to this demon warlock as "First Commander" or "Legion Lord." Anyway, no one will call him "Third Commander Xerath" anymore.

Xerath—the demons of the legion do not know the origin of this commander, but every hero of Valoran is familiar with his experience.

He is Xerath, the "Ancient Sorcerer," the former chief of the ancient Shurima Empire, who had feuds with the guardian brothers of Shurima, Nasus and Renekton, and even betrayed the "Desert Emperor" Azir.

But that's all in the past.

He was one of the six heroes Aiden summoned in the Twisting Nether. Afterwards, he twice destroyed the portals created by the Burning Legion—once when Archimonde built a teleportation array in Silvermoon City to summon his subordinates, and another time in Outland, when Kil'jaeden created a portal to send reinforcements there.

If the Burning Legion knew that this old enemy had transformed and mixed into their ranks, even becoming a small commander, they would probably have to carefully consider their "recruitment" strategy.

As for why Xerath appeared here, it still has to be said from the Outland War three years ago.

After that battle, the Burning Legion was greatly weakened due to the loss of Commander Archimonde. Xerath and others suddenly had nothing to do, and they couldn't find a chance to go to Azeroth, so they had to find something to do themselves.

Finding the missing Vel'Koz became a major event. As heroes of the Void, Kha'Zix and Cho'Gath would be more likely to sense it, while Xerath was intelligent, so he was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Burning Legion and finding a way to Azeroth.

Three years later, they each completed their set goals very well: Kha'Zix sensed a signal from Vel'Koz somewhere in the Twisting Nether, Xerath mixed into the middle-level commander of the Burning Legion and had the authority to obtain a lot of internal information. Cho'Gath—this big bug basically ate its fill.

It was also at this time that the Burning Legion launched its invasion of Shirethe. Coincidentally, Vel'Koz was on that planet. So Xerath did not desert, but took the opportunity to come to this planet.

He used his position to bring Kha'Zix in as well. In fact, he also wanted to bring Cho'Gath, but this guy was too big, too conspicuous, and his appearance had long been remembered by the Burning Legion when he destroyed the teleportation array a few years ago and was blacklisted, so he had to leave it in the Twisting Nether.

After arriving here, they contacted Vel'Koz, and it was only then that they learned that Vel'Koz was regarded by G'orr as an Ancient God like him.

Xerath had been in the Burning Legion for so long, and he had enough authority to know that the demons were keen on destroying planets and civilizations, largely to eliminate the Ancient Gods—they had accidentally joined the opposing camp.

However, Vel'Koz would not forget, and Xerath would not forget that their only affiliated camp was Valoran, and the only object of their loyalty was Aiden. So after secretly meeting on both sides, Xerath felt that the Burning Legion was the commander's confidant's trouble. Anyway, whether it was the Ancient Gods or the Burning Legion, they were all the commander's enemies. They might as well fish in troubled waters and let the two sides fight to the death!

So against this background, these Void heroes plunged into a war that had nothing to do with them.

What they didn't expect was that Aiden had also come here now.

Now Aiden doesn't know so much yet, he only knows that Vel'Koz has arrived here. He recalled Mu'sha's prophecy, which mentioned that Turalyon was one of his vanguards, and now it seems that it is true—as long as Vel'Koz has not betrayed, this guy is also his "vanguard".

It's just that this "vanguard" has done something that makes him dare not admit to the leaders of Shirethe that the other party is also a hero under his command.

Aiden arrived at the Q'adar Outpost in the Land of Exile through the teleportation array and successfully met Alleria Windrunner, the eldest of the Windrunner sisters and Turalyon's wife. But he is not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with the other party now, and the others are also in a heavy mood.

Time gradually came to seven o'clock in the evening. The "Moon Goddess" Mu'sha quietly revealed her face from the east.

Usually at this time, the sky should have gradually darkened, but now although the light in the Land of Exile is a little dimmer than in the afternoon, you can still see very far. Because a purple sun in the west is still hanging there, emitting its unique light.

The sun and moon meet.

Ten thousand years later, the things cursed by G'orr have become a reality. Every believer who has heard the stone tablet prophecy is panicked—because they are not sure whether the prophecy that mothers and children will turn against each other, the sun gods will release the crime-ridden brother G'orr, and rebel against or even kill Mu'sha with him will come true.

Because the main force of the Burning Legion attacking Mount Vashj suffered heavy losses during the volcanic eruption, the war here has temporarily stopped. Since the start of the war more than a year ago, this is the first night without fighting. But no one likes such peace, because it means a more intense storm will come soon.

The protagonist of this day is the sun god G'orr—or it is more appropriate to call him the Ancient God G'orr.

When the moon rises, the purple sun Y'shaarj, which was parasitized by the "Ancient God" Vel'Koz, gradually stops struggling in the sky. It suddenly blooms with more and more intense purple light, so that the entire Land of Exile turns into a strange purple world.

The Moon Goddess Mu'sha also becomes dim under the illumination of this purple light. Her believers kneel and pray on the ground. This terrifying scene makes them panic.

Aiden looked up at Mu'sha, and his heart became a little uneasy.

If Mu'sha really falls, and as the prophecy says, all living beings will drown in blood, then he will be the "accomplice" who caused everything. Although in the end this is actually a problem given by the "system", this is after all a real world, and Mu'sha is also a kind god—perhaps the original Ancient God or something, it is difficult for him to easily overcome the unease in his heart.

"Alas…"

A sigh with infinite regret suddenly came from Aiden's ear.

"Who?" He immediately became alert.

"The seal is about to be opened…" The voice continued, a soft and gentle female voice.

Aiden looked up, but saw a tall woman wearing a silver gauze dress. The other party had a crescent-shaped mark on her forehead, and even had an appearance similar to a night elf. He opened his mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Elune?"

The other party looked at Aiden with shining silver eyes and said softly, "Please call me Mu'sha."

"But—"

"But I am exactly the same as the Elune in your mouth?" The incarnation of the Moon Goddess Mu'sha completed the words that Aiden did not say, "In fact, your understanding is not wrong. I have countless names and countless incarnations. In Azeroth, I am Elune, and also Mu'sha (the Moon Goddess in Tauren mythology); here, I am Mu'sha."

Mu'sha looked at Aiden, "You should understand very well that we—my countless incarnations all come from the same place."

Aiden only nodded.

"The seal is about to be broken. Are you ready?" Mu'sha asked.
